1948 PHUPHEEY UF THE CLASS UF '48 Whenever some class graduates from any school, someone always wants to know what will become of his classmates. We have here at De La Salle a magic pinball machine, which is legal, that forecasts the future of our illus- trious graduates. Let's see what happens. We pull back the lever of our machine and let fly a ball which goes up the slot and hits the first pin which lights up jack Carolan. Good old J. C. is the horse's best friend. He now owns a stable, which he calls home, of horses all of which pull junk carts and milk wagons. jack is a good breeder of horses but does little breathing while working. Next the ball bounces off the cushion marked Gillen. Ken was referred to in one of the copies of the Record as Golden voiced Kenny. In his business he still uses his voice to promote the sale of fish at the Fulton Fish Market. There is a dull light as the ball strikes another pin. No wonder it is the name of Ed. Donnelly that is inscribed on it. I came upon him one day in 1967 wearing a candle on his head because someone called him light- headed. Now Ed has bought up all the salt water in the world and is renting it to the beaches for swimming purposes. Joe Bissell is lit up next. joe always loved uniforms that's why he joined the National Guard. With every advance in rank he got a new uniform. He was so far advanced that for falling asleep at his post one day the army got him a special uniform with stripes all around and P.W. marked on the back. The ball caroons off the pin with Ben Man- daro's name on it. Ben was always a big gun at D.L.S. and, if you will pardon the expression, played the accordian. Little is known of Ben because at the tender age of 20 he slipped in the tub where he made his cheese and was never heard of again. As the ball thunders down the machine it is knocked for a loop as it hits the pin of Alessio Matera. He was the picture-taking genius of 4A in his prime but was never sued by us for defamation of character but we could have a case. In fact we could have two cases, one a case against Tess and the other a case of brew for 4A. The only way he makes money is by selling the negatives for stink bombs. joe Smith opened an antique shop at the age of 99 but soon closed because he was the oldest thing in the shop. He now has a job of holding up the Brooklyn Bridge but don't tell the cops. As the word Spumoni lights up on a pin it can only mean Larry Marchiony. He has revolutionized the ice cream industry by getting it direct from the cows. The only trouble is where can you put the money? George Kreese's light goes on next. Last we heard of George he was writing a Chemistry book for idiots. He is sending me his first copy personally autographed. George got loose in the lab one day' when it was on the first floor, now the lab is on the top floor and we finally got a gym. james O'Hara, the machine tells us, grew up to be public enemy No. 1 until he was told by the men in white coats not to around put- ting his picture on Post Office walls. All kidding aside james was made a general in the National Guard - a general nuisance. .Another james lights up - james Hannon. Jim got a job in a bank and probably would have been president and richest man in the world but he quit when he had to bring back the trinkets he had taken home. The trinkets happened to be 15 million dollar bills which he thought were no good because all of them had the same picture on them. When Hannon lights up, Ronald Podesta lights up right after him. The two of them are like one but when they only put one nickel in the subway slot that's going too far. A long time ago Ron fell asleep at the beach and was eventually washed out to sea and across the ocean to Russia. When he awoke the people were talking in Russian, so thinking the United States was invaded he ran to the nearest recruit- ing office and is now a part of the five year plan. Charlie Pou is another magnate according to our machine. Recently he astounded the world by buying every cane in the world for his sugar factory. The only thing wrong was, instead of buying sugar cane he bought walking canes. Oh well! have a nice trip. The ball rolls along until it hits Ken Hughey's pin. Ken used to work for the under- ground but was fired and accused of being a spy when he lost the subway he operated for the Seventh Avenue Transit Co. between 72nd and 73rd Sts. It seems he worked for the Third Avenue El. Gerald Harwood brings a happy note when he is lit. Gerry the man of big words and a frame to match, had a problem and so went to Mr. Anthony. Seeing a large audience he forgot his problem and did a scene from Macbeth before anyone got wise. He was thrown off the air but not before Mr. Anthony solved Mac- beth's problem. The ball hits Edward Kraus' pin and so another forecast. Ed, in my opinion, had one of the greatest brains that we ever graduated from D.L.S. He would have gone far if he graduated the same year his brain did. Ramon Joseph is a senator now the machine states. Recently he debated in congress the bill about baby sitters rights. The old bill said that they must sit with babies until they are asleep but Joe claims it is too crowded for both of them in the crib. His coll - . both the bill . - - - n. y wi l be changed. The machine says that James Broedell coul have become a great lawyer if he had only gone to the right bar to take his examinations From what I hear jims still at the wrong bar but still going strong -- -. strikes the 3- s t enny who is not conceite ut in 1946 protested violently because Rosalind Russell played the lead in Sister Kenny. He is now on the moon work- ing at Moonogram Studios. He is director, pro- ducer and cast of the new version of Sister Kenny. jack Doolan is another distinguished graduate who is coyly cornering the market in Dentistry. He has bought every comb he could find in order to sell the teeth. He says Now Miriam can go around without using Irium. The ball momentarily stops at the pin of Robert Williamson. While at D.L.S. Bob was an outstanding runner. Today he is still running. It seems he forgot to turn in his track suit when he was told and now they are after him. No matter how fast he goes he will never replace the automobile. The ball, which is tired from rolling, strikes the pin of Robert Whealan. Back in 1959 Bob decided New Jersey had nothing to offer him so he came to New York to make some money.. The only trouble was Bob's was not as good as the money made by the treasury so he is having a vacation up the river courtesy of the g0VEI'I1I1'l6!1t. 37
