rupherg In this year of our Lord, 1971, we are attempting to set down as conscientiously as possible, the details of our strange chronicle. The reader has our assurance that every bit of exaggeration has been painstakingly excluded. Because of a peculiar ingredient in our food, about 1946, we drifted off into a deep slumber, awakening to find ourselves attended by two Angels of Mercy, Irene Dynda and Helen Miklos. Immediately, they took us to confer with those brilliant consulting specialists-Roland Hammond, Herbert Smith and Joseph Kisselg who recommended a few days of peaceful solitude. Having nothing to do, we turned on the radio to hear the distinguished Bernard Murphy and his up-to-the- minute-news compiled from the latest bulletins. After that, we leisurely listened tp Stanley Gorsica's program, Swing and Swoon with Stan the goon, featuring that lovely, ravishing girl-vocalist, Roddie Rienass. Their moans and groans had a soothing effect on us and we recuperated rapidly. In the midst of Irene Guz's program, Calories Count, the loudspeaker blared out- Be on the lookout for Robert Haggerty and his accomplice, Thomas Weir. They just escaped from Helen Quinnan's Quaint Un- questionablesv flf one isn't crazy when one enters, it is unquestionable that one will be when one departsj . These characters are dangerous and are heavily armed with disintegrating pistols. fYoii put them in water and pfttt! they disintegratej Weir has already stolen his father's mustache and is furtively attempting to -steak his mother's. joe Moretti and Eugene Panfil, sauntering nonchalantly down the Platinum Boulevard, heard this report and disappeared suddenly only to reappear as-ah! our heroes, ATOM and sidekick, lVfOLECULE .5'Their grim appearance as they pulled in their ions and zipped away in their electron, augured no good for those hombres, Haggerty and Weir. X , ' You can imagine our impatience to be at the world premiere of The Road to Lackawannan starring that captivating, alluring actress, Glama Irene Bernadzinski La Vere and that dashing newcomehr, that suave Van Carlton Hohler johnson. Their performance was superbg magnificent. .A At the Ritzy Rendezvous, we perceived that nationally-known writer, Paul Fiore, engaged in a deep con- versation with those popular glamour girls, the enticing Lorraine Zajac, and the bewitching model, Chesterine Tyrpak. Startled by a familiar sound, we turned around to find it issuing from the lovely mouth of vivaciqus- Mary Violanti, employed in her old occupation. 1 Then, slowly, the lights dimmed softly and from the shadows emerged the celebrated Latin-:American dancers, romantic John Trotta Cavalyaro and Pepita ' Warwick, performing their famous Dance of the Fleas. For the Hnale, Thomas LeRoy and his Flying Vampiresf, the vampires being Peter' Vinolus, Al Evans, Arthur Damstetter, and john Covino, executed splendid acrobatic feats. - Feeling a bit drowsy, we knew that the food we consumed was affecting us again so we hurriedly rushed to Woodrow Christ's Beauty Salon. We wanted to get fixed up before we became completely unconscious and left this enchanting world to return to 1946. Woody waited on us personally, and saw that we had the best of everything. 1 must take advantage of this and thank Leo Baldelli personally. He did a marvelous job on my toenails. As we were departing, the Mademoiselles Yoviene and Gutowski, eminent Parisian artists, walked in. The last thing we remember was that two angels, Gloria Fernandez and jean Layman escorted us to a soft, snow-white, fluffy cloud upon which we rested our weary heads and fell asleep immediately. . Q A When we awoke, we found ourselves back in 1945 with this fond remembrance. of our own graduating class. 1 - DOLORES ZAJ AC MARGARET MILLER 19

To The Seniors Your high school career has embraced the most critical years in American history. From the tense days of Guadalcanal to the eventful scene on the deck of the Missouri, you attended your classes feeling always the uneasi- ness and the uncertainty of troubled times. Many of you thought con- stantly of fathers and brothers overseas, but all of you carried on courage- ously, scorning the war-time alibis for failure and misconduct. As a class you may be proud of your adjustment to the demands of war and of your reconversion to the responsibilities of peace. Knowing as you do the agony of war, you cannot ignore the need for a reorganization of the world that will effectively prevent the recurrence of such a conflict. The core of such reorganization is education. Your teachers at Lackawanna have opened to you the doors to useful knowledge and moral guidance. You have been offered the tools of independent thinking and have been trained to know and accept your responsibilities. You are there- fore prepared to seek the truth and make right use of it. You are now ready to continue your studies or to embark on a career in bus- iness or industry. In any event, your school will always be interested in your future success. Particularly are we concerned about your social, moral and spiritual relationships. Know and unselfishly discharge the duties of citizen- ship. Make your full contribution to the upbuilding and upholding of democracy. Know and be ambitious to realize the ideals of true manhood and womanhood and may God be with you all your days. Sincerely, 21
