In order to prevent world catastrophe, it is extremely necessary that we execute this great assign- ment. We must base our relations with all peoples of the world on honest dealing, self-sacrifice, tolerance, and understanding. If we would have harmony in the world, we would make perpetual our symphony of peace. We, the youth of today, must accept the responsibility of our time. We can not fail those who gave their lives so that we might hear the melodies of peace again. Let us cast aside our songs of battle—let us muffle the drum of war—let us play and sing our symphony of peace- together. CONTENTS A few can touch the magic string And noisy Fame is proud to sing them; Alas for those who never sing. But die with all their music in them. -OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. 3 DEDICATION The Class of 1948 of the Harrison High School dedicates its REMINISCENCE to Mr. Joseph Hannon whose spontaneous friendship has endeared him to all those who have known him. For the zealous co- operation that our congenial Mr. Hannon displayed in the activities of our class, we express our sincere appreciation. 4 tie.

This was because we possessed all the usual traits of other newcomers; namely, shortness in height and fascination at the grandeur of the new modern building. Although we failed to organize as one group with activities of our own, we did our best to enliven the pervading low spirit of the school at that time by faithfully attending all school functions. The next year, thinking ourselves wiser by our experiences in the eighth grade, we assembled for the first time to elect officers for our Freshman Class. Jack Plunkett was chosen president; Tony Basso, vice- president; Brita Olsen, secretary and Caryl Corbetta, treasurer. With our yearbook in mind, we then made our initial attempt to raise money. Our first class project was the showing of a movie, the proceeds of which formed the first deposit in our treasury. Though comparative newcomers to H.H.S., we had already made a significant impression on one of its principal organizations—the band. So great was our appreciation for music that in our freshman year, students of our class constituted about fifty per cent of the entire membership. We feel rather justified in claiming part of the credit for the huge success of the Band Booster Concert presented in December 1944 for the purpose of raising funds to purchase new band uniforms. The Sophomore year soon rolled around and we still showed that wonderful spirit which was fast becoming one of our outstanding characteristics. In- stead of the usual Sophomore Bridge, we chose to have a Sophomore 'Hop, which was more fun for the class itself.This was the only activity which we undertook that year. Then, before we knew it, we had become Juniors. How proud we were to be able to call ourselves upper- classmen! It was becoming more and more evident that we had to settle down and think of more ways to earn that much needed money for REMINISCENCE. Some of us volunteered to set up a hotdog stand at football games where we did our best to outsell the Seniors. Others sold soda at basketball games and conducted dances which we sponsored after those games. Of course, it was not all work and no play, for the dramatic souls got a chance to display their talents in the unforgettable production, Don't Take My Penny. It is hard to decide which was more fun, the play itself or the rehearsals for it. Certainly the best way to wind up the Junior year was to have a Prom. As we think back to the splendid decorations—the rustic wishing well, the Japanese Lan- terns and the sweet smelling flowers—we know that that Prom will remain one of our most cherished mem- ories of high school. September '47 came all too quickly for many of us. Yes, it was nice to be Seniors, to actually be a part of Senior Day, to enjoy the benefits of Senior Privilege, and to help publish REMINISCENCE. Winning the SWIAC in football this year also increased that top of the world feeling because the Senior Class boasted of seven Varsity members on the winning team. Again we presented another successful comedy called Life of the Party. The cast, composed chiefly of veterans from Don't Take My Penny, even sur- passed their fine performance of their Junior Year. Now as we find ourselves at the end of our Senior Year, it is hard to find words which truly express the feeling in our hearts. Perhaps unspoken words are the most fitting means of closing our memories of the wonderful school days at Harrison High. 30 HAI1 OF FAME BRITA ANN ftf 5 MV OCSf Each year the student body elects an all- around senior girl and an all-around senior boy to enter the Hall of Fame.

The Women's Club of Harrison is giving a tea to honor some famous celebrities, who have returned for a class reunion. These illustrious personages all graduated from Harri- son High School in June, 1948. Caryl Corbetta, the president of the Women's Club, is announcing their names as they enter. Among those present are: Robert Smith, who managed the first World Series-winning team of the Brooklyn Dodgers; Kay Cushing, who discovered the cure for cancer; General Musticato, who put down a recent revolution on the moon; and foreign correspondent Mary Ann Perkins, who covered that momentous event. Other persons are entering. We see the eminent Wall Street financiers, Philip Luckhardt and George Rubino, who backed Annette Marciano's latest musi- cal hit on Broadway starring Brita Olson; the comedy team which replaced Mutt and Jeff''—Joan Purcell and Joan Milgrim, known as The Rock and the Pebble; Mai Truscello, who knocked out Battling Bob Ferrares in the 5th; Ruth Collings, known as Naci- rema Smelborp, the great ballerina; Buddy Vaughn, the outstanding trumpet player voted as having the best band of the year; and Jack Plunkett, whose pic- ture of Charlie Brunner enjoying himself on a woman- less island, won the award for the most astounding picture of the century. The Navy is present in the person of Admiral Daniel Rosa, the commander of the Navy's new Dear patrol; Rosemarie DiLallo, who was voted one of the World's ten best-dressed women; Jane Monroe, who was selected as the typical American girl in 1951 by the John Stein Model Agency; and Felicia Giuliano, who tied Elvira Tauro's speed record for court steno- graphy are laughing over the time when Phyllis Wilson won a set of uranium knitting needles and got quite a bang out of them. Senator Patsy Vallarelli, who startled the Senate with a five day filibuster, is entering with George Brunner, who recently won the fight for the return of his gorgeous Brunner Girls to Esquire. Caryl has asked that famous duet—Mary O'Keefe and Mary Conover to sing. Accompaniment will be supplied by Arthur Stockman and his amateur orches- tra which would be a threat to somebody except that Mr. Stockman is a doctor. The music is greatly ac- claimed and then everyone gives information concern- ing those who are absent. One thing discussed is Jean Volpe's and Mary Grabarz's startling of Paris with their new dress de- signs modeled by Claire Erickson and Doris Erlanger at a recent showing. Another popular topic with the women seems to be Anne Toohey, who, while the ink was not dry on her fourth divorce, led a fifth to the altar. Then the great scientific discovery of Howard Cushing is discussed. He grew a bumper crop of pota- toes from cucumber seeds. Other improvements in the scientific field have been made by David Suellau whose roosters lay soft-boiled eggs, Dick Curran who raises three-footed cows and Anna laniri who blew up a million dollar lab. Everyone gathers around the radar to see the great football game being won by Joe Verrilli, Mike Vendola, Ernie Fiore, and Al Fraioli of the New York Giants. Tina Ruberto is seen in the stands with her eleven little ones, cheering the team on. Some late arrivals have entered. Included are Donald Hill, who hurled fifty victories for the Yankees in 1956; his catcher, Frank Montesano; Ann Smith, the noted archaeologist who recently discovered the bones of the famous Inca leader, lyamded; Cathryn Murray, who startled the world by running for the Presidency against John McGillicuddy, whose campaign mana- gers are Ted Siebert and Charles Santora. cr'i «I 36 Here come Fred Berlanti, who built a road to the moon and Fred LaVigna, who supplied the gas for the first journey there. Now the hostesses for the affair—Priscilla Kay, who recently opened the largest dog and cat hospital in the United States; Myrna Davids, who has a new kindergarten class of which Ralph Forlano and Robert Schiess are star pupils; Marie Inglese and Marie Lam- bere , who won a nation-wide giggling contest; Dolores Donovan, who after ten years of studying medicine turned secretary; Antoinette LaParco and Elvira Delzio, who are instructors in A! Donado's Park Avenue dancing school; and Rita Henning who was recently honored by a solo exhibition of her paintings at the Museum of Modern Art, are serving the refreshments. As the food is passed, talk livens and Robert Beck, who manufacturers his cigar box radios on a large scale and Albert Buster Klein from whose stables came the winner of last year's Grand National steeple- chase, describe the 1956 Olympics, which they were privileged to attend and at which they witnessed the winning of the Olympic championship in the mile for the United States by Thomas McLaughlin. Several other celebrities arrive. Among them were Lt. Thomas Nordman of the State Police who captured that notorious criminal known only as Banjo Eyes; Robert Morris, head of the Morris Advertising firm, who hired not one but three private secretaries—Alice Higgons, Eleanor Sullivan, and Barbara Anderson; Dominick Pascale and Joseph Lauro, co-authors of the best-seller Speed Maketh the Man; Jack Doc Lloyd who revolutionized Trotta's Drugstore. Others who stroll in are Robert Redo, the eminent chemical engin- eer, who discovered a bail-point pen that will write above water; Walter Sinnott, who is at work on his greatest project—a four-lane highway spanning the Atlantic; and Richard Brady, the bass-drummer for the Boston Pops Orchestra. These great personages are greeted by Bill Kaiser, whose new comic strip is creating a sensation. The heroine is a little girl called Carrot-Top and Bill uses Nancy Hoy as his model. A few late arrivals are coming now. They are Frances Polito and Margaret Fanella, whose bosses, the bubble gum magnates, David Klune and Herbert Jardine had so much business to attend to that their secretaries were exhausted from merely emptying their ashtrays which were filled with that rival product— Bubaloon. Sam Feda and William Miles, who are chief bubble gum testers in the same company, were also delayed because of the volume of business. Emil Greto and Herman Bronson who made fortunes by giving un- solicited testimonials for Adler Elevator Shoes, are also just arriving. In fact, their incomes are so great that they have had to hire a bookkeeper— Jo Maro. Arthur Cleary and Tony Reale have just finished a transcontinental railway on which A Rose is chief engineer on their new Super Chief diesel engine. Entering with them are Eva Potter, who has been acclaimed by the critics as the new version of Lena Horne; Rosemarie Carino, who has just opened her own elementary school abroad; and Betty Anderson, her social secretary. Of course, our reunion would not be complete with- out the presence of Tony Basso, who has just finished a very successful year coaching Columbia University's great basketball team; Josephine Tolve and Carmela DeFonce, who are both working as secretaries for the eminent golf pro Dan DiBiccari; and valiant nurses Jane Beeaker and Nancy Anderson, who were cited in their recent rescue of two children. As quickly as we carried you forward in time, let us transfer you back to 1948. Even if none of these prophecies comes true, let us prophesy a happy and rewarding life for all. estra. rewarding life tor all. 37 38 'TH e: END or A We, the Class of 1948 of Harrison High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, thereby bequeathing, bestowing, and relinquishing all our possessions, worldly or unworldy, legal or illegal, to those following in our footsteps, be they sane or insane, worthy or unworthy, good or ungood. To the faculty we will our sincerest appreciation for the help and guidance they have given us throughout these five memorable years. To the Juniors we leave our reputation as an outstanding class. We hope they can equal our record, but we have our doubts. Kay Cushing and Mary Conover desire the underclassmen, in general, to inherit their friendly manners. We think they need this trait. Anyone who desires a vehicle of transportation may receive same from Myrna Davids, whose tongue is always wagon. Felicia Giuliano, Antoinette LoParco, and Elvira Tauro leave their Secretarial Practice desks to some business-like souls. The class wolves, Al Rose, Fred LaVigna, and Fred Berlanti, bestow their titles to Ernie Basso and Johnny Castiglia. Buddy Cleary leaves his first base position open to someone who will have the same enthusiasm for baseball. Josephine Maro, Elvira Delzio, and Snake Greto leave through a keyhole. They're the only ones who could. Dave Klune and Ted Siebert bestow their nonchalance and witticisms on Scotty Wilson. Art Stockman relinquishes his position as editor of the MAROON MURMURS. Bob Morris and Bud Vaughn leave two vacant chairs in the music depart- ment. Tom McLaughlin and David Suellau leave their jalopies to anyone who wants them and can make them run. Ann Smith leaves her brains for the rest of us to marvel. Anthony Reale and Philip Luckhardt bequeath their shiny new French horns to be dented by someone else. Our blonde-haired beauty, Brita Olson, leaves her dignified air to Jean O'Meara. Larry Rigano abandons his fits of laughter to anyone who has wind enough to laugh as long and as loud as he does. Joe Verrilli bestows upon some worthy marshal his post as chief. That ever popular senior, Caryl Corbetta, leaves her pleasing personality to Sal Malfitano. Tina Ruberto relinquishes her position as captain to some other cheerleader who can measure up to her. Betty and Nancy Anderson—they leave together. Charlie Brunner leaves his patented wolf-howl to the up-and-coming wolves of H.H.S. Patsy Vallarelli bequeaths his ways of arguing with the teachers to anyone who will attempt to argue. Bob Beck abandons his position as lab assistant to some science-conscious junior. Joan Purcell and Dolly DiLallo leave their records in basketball to be chal- lenged by Janet Burrell and Pat Olson. Joan Milgrim and Dolores Donovan leave the wide open roads to Ann Watson. Dan Rosa and Tom Nordmann leave their ability to smoke pipes to anyone who can stand the vile odor. Jack Plunkett bequeaths his camera to some shutter-bug. Cathryn Murray wills this yearbook as an evidence of her handiwork. Ann Toohey, Phyllis Wilson and Anna laniri leave their gift of gab (especially to the opposite sex) to some loquacious junior. George Brunner, Mary Grabarz, and Rita Henning bestow upon Beverly Leich- ter their places in the Art Room. Mike Vendola leaves his quiet, unassuming manner and his position on the football squad to Larry Patella. PERFECT DAY Dick Brady doesn't leave a darn thing. He needs all he's got. Herb Jardine and George Rubino abandon scholastic records to be met by their younger brothers. Don Hill and Frank Montesano leave the baseball team to develop a new battery. DeWitt Lloyd and Ya Fiore are left to next year's football team. Bob Ferrares leaves his length to Dick Kingan. Bob Schiess bestows on Larry Delaney the position of senior class comedian, which Bob held so successfully. Al Fraioli leaves his twin brother, Joe, to confuse someone else. Nancy Hoy, Howard Cushing and Doris Erlanger leave their red hair to Ann Leehey. Jane Beeaker leaves her place in the cafeteria line to a hungry underclassman. Eva Potter, Frances Polito, Charles Santoro, and Rosemarie Carino leave so quietly no one can hear them. Ruth Collings leaves her cute sister to the mercy of the junior boys. Ralph Forlano leaves to Miss Stephens another pad of detention slips to replace the one used last year. John McGillicuddy leaves a record that will be extremely difficult to excel. Annette Marciano leaves her music to Mr. Koehler to use in the future. Al Donado leaves his ever-present smile to August Lindine. Sam Feda and Dan DiBicarri leave high school to spend more time at the Aranac. Bill Kaiser leaves his post as Cub Scout Commander. Bob Smith bequeaths his position as chief Dodger fan to someone else who believes in dem bums. John Stein leaves H.H.S. to devote his attentions to the girls of nearby schools. Tony Basso wills his quiet disposition to our freshman. It has been said that they have their loud moments, too. Dick Curran and Mai Truscello will their devil-may-care attitude to Charlie Manstream. Marie Lambarelli, Mel DeFonce, and Margaret Fanella leave their undying friendship to The Three Musketeers. Mary O'Keefe and Marie Inglese leave with a bang. Priscilla Kay and Alice Higgons bequeath their baritones to two of Mr. Koehler's future band members. Josephine Tolve, Joseph Lauro, and Dorn Pascale will their quietness to the sophomores, who, we hope, will calm down by the time they are seniors. Bill Miles is leaving all the things he knows but can never remember. Eleanor Sullivan is bequeathing her photograph album filled with pictures of various fellows. Herman Bronson is leaving all the noise he never seems to make. Claire Erickson wills her majorette uniform, which she has worn so well, to Pat Laverty. Barbara Anderson wills her cute smile to Agnes Bianca and June Newing. Henry Musticato leaves Bill Hiort his willingness to help. Jean Volpe abandons the technique she used on the fellows of H.H.S. Jane Monroe leaves her vim, vigor, and vitality to next year's seniors. These traits may help our successors through their last year. Mary Ann Perkins leaves her business-like manner and charm to anyone who can duplicate them. Albert Klein bequeaths his obliging nature to all. Robert Reda and Walter Sinnott leave this class will to be read, studied and disposed of. Hereby witnessed and signed this twenty-eighth day of June, nineteen hundred and forty-eight.

Mike” 3 L w nr •• 1 ony ACTION A Gargantuan Blessed Sacrament team overpowered a scrappy Husky eleven, 13-6, in the opener of the 1947 gridiron season. The Huskies showed promise of developing into a strong aggregation. The Farmingdale Long Island team proved to be a worthy opponent, but the Maroon and White overpowered their visitors in the last quarter to win, 12-7. Our eleven was unable to break the jinx which Eastchester seems to cast over our team. With the Huskies leading by a score of six to nothing. Smith, the Eastchester halfback, intercepted a pass and the game ended in a deadlock, 6-6. Pleasantville proved a hard nut to crack. The left side of the Harrison starting line was out because of injuries, and the boys had to give their best in order to win this one, 6-0. The Huskies, scoring in every quarter, rolled up the highest score of the year against a weak and greatly outclassed Bellows team. The final score was 38-0. With John McGillicuddy and Al Twin Fraioli spearheading the attack, Al Young's charges were able to penetrate a strong Edison Eleven, 27-14. Ernie Fiore, switching from end to halfback to fill the spot of the injured John McGillicuddy, proved to be the deciding factor in this game. The Huskies 20-7 victory, the first over Rye on Rye's home field since 1941, was the clincher for the Maroon and White's winning the SWIAC football title and the Little Three title. 67 WE'LL DO IT AGAIN FOOTBALL SQUAD First row—R.

In winning the 1947 SWIAC football championship and also the Little Three' championship crown, the Harrison Huskies enjoyed one of their best gridiron seasons. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Young and Mr. Rosenthal, the Maroon and White developed into a hard charging line, a great defensive team, and a hard running backfield. It is interesting to note that during the entire season our boys made 72 first downs as against our opponents 31; a total of 1,130 yards gained rushing, against 332; a total offensive yardage, which would include the forward passing, of 1,671 yards as opposed to 610 yards. Al Fraioli was the leading scorer with 9 touchdowns for a total of 54 points. It is very difficult to pick out the star for the season, as the team worked together as a unit which accounted for its remarkable record. John McGillicuddy was chosen as a halfback on the All County Football Eleven.

CLASS B, NEW YORK STATE, SECTION I CHAMPIONS The most spectacular upset in basketball history was ac- complished by the Harrison 1947-48 basketball team when it performed the miracle of capturing the Class B champions' title. Section I includes the counties of Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam. The Huskies wallowed through a mediocre regular sched- ule for a season's record of 6 won and 11 lost. The Maroon and White was given little or no chance against its first tour- nament opponent, a strong Pleasantville outfit which had previously defeated Harrison in two regular SWIAC contests. Our Varsity showed surprising strength by vanquishing the Panthers 45 to 36. North Tarrytown, possessing a 17 to 1 sea- son's record, champions of previous tournament play, and a favorite to repeat in this tournament, was upset by a single basket, 46 to 44. This victory meant that our team faced Wappinger Falls in the finals. The team, imbued with a fight- ing spirit, crashed through to down Wappinger Falls 43 to 38 and to become winners of the Class B competition. This also meant the right to meet Edison Tech of Mount Vernon, winners of the Class A competition, for the championship of the county. In a nip and tuck battle in which the score seesawed back and forth, Harrison led by six points with only 67 seconds to go, but Edison Tech tied the score necessitating an overtime period. In this three-minute extra, Edison was able to score a foul and a basket against our two points with the result that Edison copped the county championship, 41 to 40. We offer our congratulations to Coach Rosenthal and his fighting squad, who finally found themselves in this tourna- ment, and who played the type of ball that they were cap- able of playing during the regular season. Further honor was bestowed upon our victorious team in the selection of John Castiglia and Herb Steigler as members of the Class B All Tournament Five.

The youth of today face-a definite challenge to the continuance of the civilization to which all Americans have been accustomed. The ideals, which, through their development since early pioneer days have made America great, are fast disappearing. There must be a 1‘evival of these ideals, a revival in the faith and mission of America. The youth of America must hear and answer the call, the call to a greater under- standing and appreciation of the religious and spiritual vfJICes of American life; a call to the need for the development of a sound philosophy of life and conduct which will enable the youth of America to take their place as true American citizens; a call to the opportunity for useful employment under a system of American enterprise: a challenge to jmprove the home environment of American life; a summons to the development of personal initiative, a strong character, and discipline for good citizenship; ana fast, a firm resolute stand in loyalty and support of democracy and the American way of life. This is your tremendous task! We have faith that you will not fail! 79 THANKS A MILLION Reminiscence Staff wishes to express its gratitude and appre- ciation to all our kind friends who, through their generosity, have helped to defray the expenses of this publication: Aloisi Bros., Plumbing, Heating, Oil Burners, 80 Calvert St., Harrison, N.
