The final results were as follows: Michael Wilde, President; Robert Kelley, Vice President; Marion Graham, Secretary; and Rosemarie DeLutis, Treasurer. Robert Kelley, “Red” Purrier, “Mac” Holding, ‘Pete’? Richardson, Roy Nordberg, “Billy” Donlan, and Ernest May, participated in boys’ sports; while Kay Ellen FitzRandolph, Joanne Burrell, Marion Graham, Claudia Muller, Patricia Fornaciari, Lucille Giovino, Lillian Goddard, Janet McGlashing and Joan Harlor took part in the girls’ activities. In December the Juniors held a Christmas Dance which was a great success. Now, there are thoughts of the Reception in the air. Some passing fancies would have it that changes are contemplated for the big dance, but in all probability things will follow their usual pattern. We hope this up-and-coming class will not forget to work hard during its senior year—on school work as well as outside activities. 31 Ist row, |. to r.: J. Gallipeau, S. Giles, G. Chapman, M.

Already accustomed to the hustle of the daily school program, this class was right at home upon its return in September. In closely contested elections, they voted for Edward Albertini, President; Daniel Palanza, Vice President; Carol Ferguson, Secretary; and Beverly Metrano, Treasurer. In athletics, “Buzz” Richardson, ‘Danny’ Palanza, Dennis Kaleta, William Leanues, Robert Bridges, John Zecher, and Phillip Webb show promise. Among the girls, too, there are quite a few who are bound to maintain the school’s. good name in sports. Scholastic averages among the members of this class are quite high and � promise great futures for some of them. In February, this class, to celebrate and to take advantage of a woman’s right during leap year, held a “Sadie Hawkins Dance’ which was enjoyed by all who attended. We hope that they will be happy and successful both during and after their high school years. $83 Freshman Class Ist row, |. to r.: E. Marcheselli, E. Nesbitt, L. Schultz, J. Agan, J. Scialoia, J.

However, they soon became used to new teachers, classes and sur- roundings, and settled down to work under the careful guidance of Miss Lyman and Mr. Waters. The election of class officers left Mario Morini, President; Joanne Wills, Vice President; Thelma Walker, Secretary; and Jeanette Ferri, Treasurer. It might be well worth the research to look back into the books and see how far back in the school’s history it has been since a girl was elected vice president. This class may be creating a precedent. “Sonny” Guerrini, Kevin Jackson, “Ricky” O’Malley, William Maxwell, “Fessey” Olney, “‘Sibby”’ Falconi, “Butch” Murphy, William Eastman, “Bob” Thomas, William Todesco, Mario Morini and “Butch” Ross were all active along athletic lines. Quite a few Freshmen must also be proud to take home their report cards, judging from those we have seen. We hope that this class will keep up its good work during its next three years in M. H. 5. 35 1952 Class Highlights During the year, much has been done to make classes and school life more enjoyable for the students. In National Education Week the High School, as well as the rest of the schools in Mansfield, held ‘open house’ and invited parents and friends to come and attend special exercises or see the regular work of the school at hours convenient for visitors. Every class did something for the exhibition. Pupils made booklets and outlines of what they were studying. Some of the more talented people drew posters, pictures, or maps. A special program was prepared for visitors. The Glee Clubs sang, all the class rooms were open for inspection, and students demonstrated work. The Student Council, a recent innovation in the school, has done much to increase understanding between the faculty and the student body. Since National Education Week the Student Council has inaugurated a program entitled “Operation Morale,” on the principle that people work better in clean, neat surroundings than they do under unpleasant circumstances. Room 14 has been painted and set up as an art room, so that art students no longer have to run over to Memorial Hall to exercise their creative powers. In Room 4, murals have been painted on the walls above the blackboards. A contest with a surprise trophy has inspired many other students to keep their classrooms clean. Every month there is an inspection of homerooms and the cleanest room wins the prize. Woe to the student who forgets to take the papers out of his desk, and also to the one who leaves the spoils of his forbidden classroom feasts in someone else’s desk and gets caught! Mottoes, posters, and poems have appeared in almost every room. An example of this is in Room 1 where there appears this verse: ; No spring training No world series No spring cleaning No trophy Our hats are off to the Juniors in Miss Shepard’s room who, by hard work, won the first trophy. The trophy? Oh come now—I’m sure you’ve all seen that handsome stuffed horse in Room 3. In the second inspection Miss Lyman’s freshmen in Room 1 came out on top. No one knows who will win the next contest, but one thing is certain; the winners will definitely have to do a bang-up job to do better than the previous winners. 36 Activities Prepared and written by: Elizabeth Giles Pauline Reynolds Sheila Rooney STAM P CLUB Ist row, |. to r.: G.

This year, The Tatler has several new feature columns in- cluding. — “The Famous Men and Women’, and the “Fashion Column’. Of course, the “Gadabout” is still the most widely read page of the paper. The Editor-in-chief is Carol Nelson and her assistants include: ‘Mickey’ Morini, Claudia Miller, and Beverly Metrano. The feature-editors are Linard Risgin, Lillian Ballou, Brenda Kelly, and Ruth Shribman. The Sports editor is Eddy Albertini and his assistants are Bob Kelley and Shirlie Buratti. Phyllis Tartaglia has also shown her talent on another new feature, the cartoon page. I guess we'll always remember the days The Tatler came out! 38 Driver Education Ist row, |. to r.: C. Lovely, O.

This program was initiated at the Mansfield High School in 1950. Up to this time, approximately 67 students have followed this course, which now is offered to seniors and juniors over 16 years of age. These people have to attend a class once a week for twenty weeks and then go out for supervised road work until the instructor finds them ready for exams. ‘The students then take the regular Registry written and road tests given by inspectors from Fall River, and become eligible for a driver’s license. To this point, success is 100%, for all students trying have passed. Miss Henchel takes one small group right through until licenses are issued. “There are, therefore, no more than four or five applicants at any one time. But this method is the main reason for the good showing in exams. The bulk of the group is female as the girls have less chances to be taught early. Boys, usually, get right out and get their licenses on their sixteenth birthday. Somehow, they manage to learn before then. The cars for training have been furnished by Pedini Motors. It seems that this popular course is at M. H. S. to stay. 3) Ist row, |. to r.: J. Gallipeau, B. Nesbitt, L. Prophet, J. Clark, B. DeChellis, R. DeLutis, H. Carr, R. Miller, P. Tartaglia, L.

President PHYLLIS TARTAGLIA Secretary- [reasurer RuTH MILLER Librarian LouisE McKay Assistant Librarian HELEN Carr The Girls’ Glee Club under the new direction of Miss Dorothy Ferry has been, as formally, one of our most active organizations. The Club has also increased considerably in number again this year. According to tradition, the members were responsible for the very impressive Christ- mas Assembly, getting assistance from the Boys’ Glee Club. Some of the club members were accepted this year for participation in the New Eng- land Music Festival which was held in New Britain, Connecticut. “Those attending this four day music experience were ‘Betty’ Giles, “Shirlie’ Buratti and ‘Cathy’ Rego. The members of the entire Glee Club will participate in the Pop’s Concert to be held in the Town Hall on March 28. The girls are also looking forward to the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Festival which is to take place in Middleboro, early in the month of May. Good luck girls and keep up the sweet harmony. 40 Ms, =f Sf ve 7 Boys’ Glee Club Ist row, I. to r.: R. Menga, R. Leavitt, W. Eastman, S. Bryant, M. Wilde, K. Guillette, B. Jackson. 2nd row: S.

Interest in singing among the boys is just beginning to find favor in the High School. But it is expected to grow in time, and some day, the boys may prove as active as the now very popular girls’ club. Till now, a small nucleus of enthusiasts have kept this organization on the school map, and there is hope that the same spirit will be transferred to the newcomers so that the singers may continue to grow in numbers and quality. Mr. James Gallo is now in charge of this club. Stanley Bryant is president, Michael Wilde is secretary-treasurer, Kenneth Guillette is librarian and William Eastman is assistant- librarian. At the Christmas Assembly, they joined the girls in presenting a very agree- able program at the Town Hall. The combined group also sang at a P.J.A. meeting. The main feature at present is the organization of a boys’ singing club at the Cen- tral School, under the supervision of Mr. Harold Qualters, in view of promoting added interest in music. If this innovation is maintained for any length of time we have every right to expect that the boys’ program will improve considerably within a few years. 4I Ei at Bean SB « 2, e w % Pan-American Club Supervised by Miss Shepard, the Pan- American Club has undertaken many small projects during the past months.

Miss Nancy Halverson, director of dramatics at Wheaton College, was in charge of organizing and directing the play. All the usual headaches accompanied the preparation :— “many called but few chosen ”. stage and property ordeals in obtaining scenery and materials; disappointment in rehearsals and work; apprehensions of the coming “opening hight,” etc. It did turn out, however, that fears were unfounded, and on the nights of February 14 and 15, “The Little Dog Laughed” became another local stage hit, with most of the actors meeting their first challenge behind the footlights with a creditable performance. An estimated total of approximately eight hundred people, who witnessed the play, helped make it a financial success. And, furthermore, general comments from the audience showed reactions to be both favorable and pleasant. Although many memories of school and campus fade away rapidly after graduation, the scenes and thoughts of the class play will linger on for a long time to come. 47 The Band Members from the High School participating in the music program: D. Brown, H. Carr, J. Fasulo, P. Jacques, Alice Long, Arlene Long, C. Mondillo, E. Nesbitt, J. Pomfret, E. Ricardo, E. Thompson, J. Gallo, director. Music is finally coming into its own in Mansfield. This year, Mr. James L. Gallo has taken over a full-time program in the school system. Mr. Gallo came he re with two and a half years of part-time teaching of instrumental music at Lynn. He possesses a Bachelor’s degree in music and is now working toward a Master’s degree. His interest in music seems limitless. He is trumpeter in the 215th Army Ground Forces Band of Boston, a well-known outfit here since the successful March concert and dance at the Town Hall. He is also music director of The Old Dorchester Drum Corps (American Legion), The St. Kevin’s C. Y. O. Drum Corps from Dorchester, and The Dau- rice Drum Corps in Hyde Park. But now, his main ambition lies in fashioning accomplished musicians among the eighty or more youngsters under his care, and we must admit that prospects of gleaming success have never been better. Interest in instrumental music is attaining a peak that should assure Mansfield a good band within the next few years. And if the job can be done, we believe Mr. Gallo will be able to do it. Best of luck ‘o both the director and the musicians! 48 Written by: Linard Risgin Michelina Morini SPORTSMEN'S CLUB Ist row, |. to r.: S. Falconi, P. Fontanini, W. Briggs, A. Guerrini, C.

The 1951 edition of the Green Hornets, under the new coach, Bob Waters, rolled up an impressive record of five wins, two ties, and two losses. Despite the fact that ten lettermen were lost through graduation this proved to be one of the best teams of recent years. In the opener at Somerset the boys were a little green, and could not get roll- ing. Somerset was much the same, and the game wound up a scoreless tie. Our next game, at Franklin, saw us break into the win column, but the game was hard-fought all the way. In fact, had it not been for Sonny Guerrini’s sixty yard pass interception, it might well have ended as a 7 to 7 tie, instead of a 13 to 7 win for the Hornets. Back in Mansfield for our first game at Memorial Park, we soundly trounced a weak Case team, 33 to 6. The next Saturday Oliver Ames came to the park and fought the Hornets to a bitterly contested 0 to 0 tie. The unsung mudhorses of the line were superb, stop- ping Oliver Ames short three times on the goal line. We got back into swing, though, as we met, and rolled over, a weak Bridge- water team, 27 too. This was the Hornets thirteenth consecutive game without a los.. Thirteen proved to be an unlucky number, however, for the following week the Hornets were stopped by a tough Dighton team. ‘They played their hearts out for three periods, but finally ran out of gas as the Class ID Champions went on to win 20 to 0. The game was rained out the next Saturday, so the Red Rocketeers of North Attleboro came to the park Tuesday. We came out on top, 13 to 0, in a tussle so close it could have gone either way. With only four days rest, the Hornets journeyed to Ashland. Practically dead on their feet after the Tuesday pounding, they could do nothing right as Ash- land poured it on, 27 to 2. Our lone two points came on a safety by Captain Reed. Thanksgiving morning nine seniors played their last game for M. H. S., and went out in a blaze of glory, beating the arch-rival, Foxboro. The first half was evenly matched, at 7-all, but in the second half the Hornets outplayed the opposition 3 to 1 and the game ended with a final score of 25 to 14.

Coach Bob Waters proved to be a wizard of the basketball court, as well as che gridiron. All five of the ’51 regulars graduated last year, but Coach Waters turned out a team that made an 11-5 record, took third place in the Hockamock League, and reached the second round of the South Shore Tourney. Three men, Johnny De- Palma, Binky Anderson, and Mac Holding were the only regulars, while the other two spots were shared by Linc Musto, Red Purrier, Bob Kelly, and Rick O’ Malley. The Hornets started the season by beating the favored Alumni 43-42 in over- time, but then dropped their first Hockamock contest to Sharon. “They then beat North, but lost a heartbreaker to Foxboro, 45-47, before getting into step again to win their next three. Stoughton and Sharon took the following two (they were the only two tcams to consistently beat the Hornets, accounting for five out of six of the Hornets’ losses), but Mansfield won the next five, including a sound 65-54 shellacking of Foxboro. In an unofficial post-season rubber game the Hornets again beat Foxboro. Stoughton won their second game with Mansfield to wind up Hockamock League play. The Hornets then entered the South Shore Tourney, and defeated Abington in the first round. They were then eliminated in the second by Sharon. The season was marked by fine play and polished ball handling, unusual for a green team. “Though this was supposed to have been a building season, future teams will really have to work to beat the 52 Hornets’ record.

Captain Red Purrier and Gene Fournier are the only veterans to show up so far, so Coach Mazukina will probably have to build a team from scratch. However, every spring history repeats itself, and it looks like the Hornets are out in left field some place, but by the time the South Shore Meet rolls around Mansfield seems to have discovered enough talent to take first place honors. MHere’s hoping the ’52 squad will maintain the tradition. The tentative schedule calls for meets with Foxboro, Bridgewater, North Easton, Concord, Taunton, and Walpole, besides the Hockamock and South Shore Meets. ele) Baseball Ist row, |. to r.: Henry Olney, William Maxwell, Dennis Kaleta, William Bruno, Edward Richardson, and Edward Garriepy. 2nd row: Coach Robert Waters, Robert Baptiste, Kevin Jackson, Richard Hofemann, William Leanues, and Alfred Guerrini. As this goes to press, baseball practice is just starting. Naturally, it is dificult to say what the season will bring, but things look good for the Hornets. Coach Waters is build- ing his team around four veterans, Binky Anderson, Bob Kelley, Willie Bruno, and Buzz Richardson. Also, three rookies, Sonny Guerrini, Rick O’ Malley, and Kevin Jackson, show promise and will probably make the team this year. The Hornets’ Hockamock League schedule calls for games with Randolph, North Attleboro, Sharon, Stoughton, Foxboro, Canton, and North Easton. 57 Girls’ Rasketball FIRST TEAM Ist row, |. to rz: M.

THE GREEN HORNETTES Most of the credit for the very good record of sevcn and four is due to Miss Barbara Thorner, who did an excellent job of coaching the Green Hornettes for her first year. Splendid teamwork, new plays, and firm, effective guarding also contributed to the successful season. Those who rolled up the score for the team by their “sharp-shooting’’ were “Glo” Dunn, Co-captain, Kay Ellen FitzRandolph, ‘Nee’ Pellegrini, “Lil” Goddard, and Joanne Burrell. (Guarding the opposing team were Joyce Agan, Co- captain, “Meg” Graham, Claudia Miller, Jeanette Fasulo, and “Patty” Fornaciari.

Holt. Class History by CAROLE LOVELY In September, 1948, a hopeful but slightly self-conscious group of eighty freshmen entered the Mansfield High School. Unceremoniously we were herded into one big room— now rooms 5A and 5B—and told by Mr. Whitcomb in no uncertain terms what was expected of us. For days we wandered around the halls asking such questions as ‘““Where is Room 6?” and “Where do we eat lunch?” Further confusion came by the use of “wrong” en- trances. : Finally our advisors, Miss Darmedy and Miss Henchel, took us in hand and helped us elect our class officers. Warren Reed was chosen president; Binky Anderson, vice presi- dent; Mickey Morini, treasurer; and Cathy Rego, secretary. Our first dance was held on April 29 in the gym. The bright cotton skirts sery- ing as lamp shades made a lasting impression on everyone. On June 20 we attended our first Class Day exercises and had the privilege of singing in wavering tones the famous “Where, Oh Where.” Being veterans of one year, we felt quite superior to the freshmen when we returned in September. At an early election Warren Reed was chosen president again; Earl Mason, vice president; Jean Palanza, secretary, and Patty Whitehouse, treasurer. We held our first dance, the ‘Sweater Social,’ on December 9 in the gym. Every- one turned out in good form. A second dance was held in May. Everyone anxiously awaited the crowning of the king and queen chosen by the student body. In June, after many arguments and much persuasion, we finally ordered our class rings. Once again we attended the Class Day exercises. Incidentally, we sang “Where, Oh Where” much better this year. Before we realized it, September had come again. Our first task as Jolly Juniors was the election of class offcers. After much active campaigning by the respective candidates, we finally chose Dave Holt president; Earl Mason, vice president; Mickey Morini, secretary; and Patty Whitehouse, treasurer. We really began to feel lke Juniors when our long- awaited class rings arrived in November, and we could proudly display them to our envious underclassmen. The first dance of the year was held on November 17. The entertainment was in the form of a talent show, and the prizes went to Lorraine and Shirley Buratti, Betty Bauer and Joyce Agan, and the Co-eds. Later came a Christmas dance held in December. Early in May we chose Loring Studio as our class photographer, and in that same month, our advisors appointed the committees for the big social event of the year, the Senior Reception. The decorating committee, after many trials and tribulations, finally settled down to the serious work of making the roses and clouds to be used in the “Blue Heaven” scene. Having started to decorate only the day before the Reception, we hardly thought it possible to finish on time. But due to much cooperation and many trips to Lake Archer, we managed to complete the decorations that same day. Thursday night we all turned out in our best “bib” 62 and tucker’ and danced to the music of Don Dudley’s Orchestra. As the night slipped by, we realized that in September we would take over the respected position of Seniors. At our last election of officers, Warren Reed was chosen president; Stan Bryant, vice president; Mickey Morini, secretary; and Patty Whitehouse, treasurer. On Thanksgiv- ing night, we presented the annual Turkey Day dance in the Foxboro High School Gym. The newly formed Varsity Club sponsored a Record Hop on January 12, with Fred B. Cole, WHODH disc jockey, spinning the records. The Senior Class observed Good Government Day on February 6. There was active campaigning by the various candidates for the positions of selectman and school committee. When these officials were elected, the Selectmen appointed the town manager and town officials, and the School Committee appointed the teachers. After the students had been conducted on a tour of the town, they took over their official duties. The Central Fire Station was probably the most active place in town when the Selectmen challenged the School Committee to a game of pool. We never found out who really won, but a good time was had by all. On February 14 and 15, we presented our class play, ‘““The Little Dog Laughed,” un- der the direction of Miss Nancy Halverson. After the play, the Seniors enjoyed a party given by Barbara Howe in honor of the occasion. An attempt was made to demolish the high school by our scientist (???) Lenny Ris- gin, but he succeeded in injuring himself rather than the building. Top honors were announced early in March. Mickey Morini was awarded the D. A. R. Good Citizenship award. Later the class colors, royal blue and silver, and the class flower, a red rose, and the motto were chosen. As the year drew to a close, two hilarious events took place. One was Tramp Day, filled with the usual silly events during which more than one hobo managed to get “in Dutch.” The dance, however, was one of the social successes of our four year stay at the high school. Shortly after this rowdy event, Bow Day was observed. The girls wore colorful and fancy bows, and even the boys adorned their curls with dainty ribbons of bright hues. ‘Cute’ was the word for the day. These events—with Baccalaureate Sunday, June 15; Class Day, June 16; Gradua- tion, June 17; and the Senior Reception, June 19—bring to a close our high school days. It has been with great pleasure that I have assembled the facts for this history of the Class of 1952, for it has brought back vividly the happy experiences that we have shared in the past four years. It is with sincere regret that we leave M. H. S., but we are grate- ful that we can take with us so many cherished memories. 63 Aa ?

I have just returned from the ten year reunion of the Class of 1952 of Mansfield High. As news commentator of the area I was assigned to cover the meeting. As a former member of the class, I was eager to do so. Early this morning Ada Ann Morrison, who still has her mind up in the sky, flew in from the Philippines to attend the reunion. Quite a few of my classmates still live in Mansfield. James Horton, the First National’s keenest competitor propels his push-cart from street to street. Richard Hanlon repairs all the flat tires in the neighborhood, for he owns a bubble gum factory. Betty Giles and Richard Albertini have formed a painting and decorating partnership. He trims the outside while she takes care of the inside—of squirrels’ nests. Patty Whitehouse, still a telephone operator, as a sideline, writes a monthly maga- zine column called “Buzzing Wires’. Of course, the high school is still standing, but it is more crowded than ever. Pauline Reynolds has the supply company running in circles, for she needs raincoats and _ plastic books for her classes on the roof. Gloria Dunn, one of the most popular teachers, con- ducts a class entitled “How to Chew Gum Without Getting Caught.” Joyce Agan and Carl Anderson train the would-be athletes of MHS. Lorraine Reilly owns her own sporting goods store with Huck Shaw as her assistant. Jean Morse has also entered the field of free enterprise. Her drug store, ‘‘Lolly’s,”’ is the favorite gathering place for today’s teenagers. Wilbur Sheehan works here too. He really cleans up—sweeping floors. Eleanore Jackson, Nancy Halloran, Phyllis Wellman and Janet Baer live side by side on Mammel Lane, proving that life is just a bunch of “wails.” Mama! Many of my classmates are quite famous in Boston. Marcia Richardson’s pictures are on all the bill boards. Her latest hair style ““The Zebra,” is popular everywhere. Sheila Rooney is wearing stripes too—prison stripes. It seems that one night she had on one less balloon than the laws of sober Boston permitted. Billy Kirshkaln, gatekeeper at Charles- ton Prison, let her in. Warren Reed owns a new store in Boston called Jordan-Reed. Nelia Pellegrini and Evelyn Austin are his private secretaries. Evelyn’s quiet nature tends to calm Nelia’s exub- erance. Barbara Barrett works at the large soda fountain where there are more “jerks” than any where else. Another member of the class who also works at Jordan-Reed’s is Rudy Fasulo, who as a window decorator, has a wonderful time with his models. Barbara Howe, famous fashion designer, created many exotic costumes, especially for Halloween parties. Lucille Tessier, her former business manager, made so much money that she was able to retire. Betty Bauer, voted hot rod driver of the class of 752, now teaches rookie policemen how to drive with one arm. Jimmy Breen, taxi driver, has revolutionized driving. In- stead of dodging around cars and creating a traffic jam, he just drives over the cars in his way. 69 I found many of my former classmates in the field of entertainment. Joan Murphy is a leading actress on Broadway. “Today, however, she never misplaces her costumes. Rich- ard Leavitt has replaced silent Erwin on the Boston Ballroom. In spite of his regular job, however, he is still a “ham.”” Robert Baptiste, with his guitar and songs, is the ‘“Jumpalong Cassidy” for today’s kiddies. He considers horses old-fashioned, so he uses a pogo stick. Wayne Engler has taken Red Skelton’s place on television. The main feature of his program is that part called “Don Wongo’s Doosey Dohickeys.” He has hired Betty Ward, the pro- fessional giggler, to sit in the audience and make sure his jokes get a laugh. Willy Bruno, as you may well imagine, has moved out to Hollywood, where he has just finished a movie entitled ‘“‘Mansfield Shoe Shine Boy.” Phyllis Tartaglia, a famous prima donna, sings all her songs in French—straight from Pratt Street. John DePalma owns the Park Theater. His ushers don’t use flashlights, but do use the back row seats in the balcony. In the world of business, Earl Mason runs a landscaping company. He has just re- designed a whole city—Antville. Jean Palanza digs all his holes for him. She always did like the underground. Caroline Miller works in a clock factory where she always arrives on time. Joan Annese, district manager of the Federal Reserve Bank down in Washington, loans money to the R. F. C. Pat Murphy, her secretary, was hired because her experience as a telephone operator taught her not to spread private affairs. Eugene Fournier is confident that he will never lose his job as grave digger. ‘We all have to go sometime!”’, he says. Lincoln Musto has a flourishing poultry farm. He likes this business,—Seems he’s used to the pecking. Betty Conrod, thanks to certain connections, has opened up a reducing establishment. Her motto is “Lift Weight, Lose Pounds.” Vera Gross, her chief masseuse, literally makes the patrons laugh off the excess poundage. Linard Risgin is a famous scientist noted for blowing the roof off things. Mickey Morini, a competent nurse, has her office on the floor below his laboratory. Janet Cipriani’s office is on the floor beneath that one. She insures the people who want to go upstairs. Carole Lovely is a frequent visitor to the laboratory. In fact, she comes everyday. She is the city fireman. Admiral Warren Briggs is contesting General Eisenhower’s campaign for the presidency. Using his political know-how, he’s sure to win. Carol Nelson, a leading journalist, is his un- oficial campaign manager. Bill Shea is keeping up Navy tradition with a girl in every port. Russell Spaulding, also in the service of his country, lectures at West Point on ‘“‘How to Act on Passes.” Also in this man’s army we find Robert Menga who has made his musical abil- ity pay off. He receives $75 a month for waking the bugler every morning. Tivie Patrignani is still talking. Her bubbling enthusiam sells even the stalest pro- duct for the company she works for. Cathy Rego, out in Texas, has at last learned to saddle her own horse. Shirlie Buratti has moved too. As wife of the Seabee Admiral of Pamfa Fleet, she is an honored guest at all the ship launchings in California. However, she doesn’t waste the champagne. She spreads a special container to catch what spills. Her parties are noted for miles around. Some members of the class were missing from the reunion. However, they sent their regrets. Stan Bryant couldn’t leave Arabia just now. “Business” detained him. Could that business be third person, feminine, plural? Dave Holt is also in Arabia. He has just found a new oil field. What a slippery character! An epidemic in Africa prevented Gloria Martin, missionary-nurse there, from attending. John Houghton fell asleep on his way up from Mexico. His burro stopped under the nearest tree so Johnny wouldn't get tired. As for myself, I am a radio commentator living on a moderate pay and in daily fear of the censors. Knowing my classmates, I feel sure that they will succeed in whatever field they choose to work and will have a great deal of fun doing so. 7O Advertisements Prepared and classified by Warren Reed Joan Annese Many Thanks svomoOur Patrons from the Glascmo tans?
