Nunzio Bonamico, who was football coach at Notre Dame, resigned four years ago. St. Mary's new spacious gym attracted him back to Dennison where he resumed the coaching of St. Mary's Basketball team. The world's basketball champions of '50 and 'Sl--Robert Lindsey and Carmen Bonamcio--are examples of Nunzio's fine training. The new school of dancing located on Grant Street, is owned by Margaret Bonaduci, conjointly with two old classmates, Thomas Donohoe and Renato Barnabei. Albert Pica, that loquacious enter- tainer, who used to pour forth from the class room on all occasions without exceptions, is now working at his favorite studio--W.W.Va. broadcasting news flashed. Only one priest among the whole crowd! Joseph Schmidhammer is devoting his life to teaching the heathens. That makes our Reunion complete. I am sure that it will be well remembered by this excited group through the years to come. The old graduates are now entering the Banquet Hall, where Father Bernier, still the zealous pastor of St. Mary, presides as their guest of honor. The next reunion of the Class of 'h2 will be broadcasted on June 6,l962. So listen in. Your faithful reporter, Jean Palandrani FAREWELL TO I.C.H.S. As we see our high school days fast approaching a termination, we realize we owe a debt of gratitude to you, I.C.H.S., for having taught us the meaning of fair play, the true values of life, and the utility of conforming our conduct to God's Law. For these innumerable gifts, we seniors are grateful. And we believe, as we stand on the threshold of Parting that the only recompense you claim or desire is the expectation that we put in Practice in our faily living the principles you have striven to inculcate. This we pledge to do - faithfully - consistently - courageously. The Senior Class

c 0 9 o o o CLASS PROPHESY Ladies and Gentlemen: This is your faithful reported broad- casting to you from the spacious remodeled hall of our old Alma Mater, Immaculate Conception, where the Reunion of the Class of M 'L2 is being held, tonight, June 2, 1952. The occasion has caused quite a sensation in the town of Dennison. - Entering the hall now, the first to arrive, is Helen Ober- holzer. This winsome lass became air-minded the year after she left school, studied piloting, and has made six trips across the Atlantic to date. On her first trip, she took with her Edward Riffleg and left him at a boxing ring in Copenhagen. A little knocked him out in the first round, so he gave up his mitts to the Orient, took up writing, and is now a famous author. Dane went A big event of the year was the wedding of Peter Pangrazio, WplayboyW,to an old favorite of the class of 'AZ--Elizabeth Spinell. They now reside in the Swank Apartments, owned by John Recchiuti, who is operating a chain of hotels and apartments from Dennison to Chicago. rich Rose Saperito is the owner of the largest dress firm in New York. Two of the most influential stockholders in Miss Saperito's company are Edna Mangon and Rita Shalosky. Josephine Lokie's yearning, not known to us during high school, was to be a track star. Her ambition was realized. She won the lOO-yard dash in the Women Olympics for the States. Turning our thoughts toward wild animals, John Hartman has just returned from Africa, where he spent five years hunting tigers, lions, and whatnots. He returned when the doctor pre- dicted that he would become a victim of Wsleeping sicknessn if he remained. We noticed this coming on back in l9L2. Carmella Scaffidi and Helen Zeno are running a chain of ' beauty salons in Puerto Rico and Cuba. Bettie Grace is the super- intendent of nurses at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. She is engaged to a famous New York surgeon and has asked Mary Bracone a prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera, to sing at her wedding. Mary refused--a trip to Europe holds greater attraction. The white lights of Broadway have beconed one of our associ- ates, Anne Ruscin. Of course, you have all heard of Congressman Jumps from Ohio. Well, it is none other than our old classmate William. Agnes Merrick married a lawyer from Philadelphia, and is residing there at present. D

o 0 0 u Q A RETROSPECT Slowly and yet swiftly six years have glided into the past, a memorable six years spent with the children of Immaculate Con- ception School in Dennison. Now I have come to say farewell. As I glance back over these six years, I see a parade of events, some sad, some joyful. I see important changes, new means and new methods adopted for the purpose of furthering the cause of Catholic education. In my mind I group the children of our school into three classes: those of the past, those of the present, those of the future. Many who are no longer members of the student body look back at Immaculate Conception from their places in the business or pro- fessional world and hail her as their alma mater. To them I say: WCarry on! Keep up the fight, using in your battle with life those invulnerable weapons which you received with your diploma-- true Christian principles of justice and morality.W I turn to the children of the present--our student body. I see all the familiar faces. You are now being equipped for your life work-- trained, disciplined. Things may seem hard, often you are rebuked and perhaps punished. But know always that you have been, you are now, and you shall continue to be the object of my deep interest and affection and of my daily prayer. As I look forward to the future I see its uncertain horizons in the face of the chaotic upheaval of the whole world. Yet with con- fidence I picture the future students of Immaculate Conception carrying on the traditions of their predecessors, enriched by the experiences of the past and present. Numerous children have been before me Win classn at Im aculate Conception. We have labored together in English, in History, in Algebra, and in other branches of learning. Sometimes we learned much, sometimes we fell short of our aim. But there is one thing that we have tried to learn, one thing that I have strained my every effort to impart. It is the only knowledge that will make your lives truly successful. It is the knowledge without which all other knowledge is useless. It is the one thing negesaary-- a true and abiding love of Our Lord Jesus Christland a solid devotion to His Spouse, our Holy Catholic Church. Next year, when I have taken up my work in a new place with new people, I shall not forget Dennison and Nmy ohildrenn. I shall remember you particularly in my prayers. I have spoken often of my interest in our community's negro mission in Ensley, Alabama. Should I have the good fortune of being sent there, my seniors have assured me that they shall send a fine donation to help this worthy cause. Isn't that so, seniors? And now-- au revoir! May God bless all of you! Sister Thomasine
