Class Prophecy (iruise to the Island of Success on the M. II. S. (dass of ’54, in the year 1974. We rcteivcd .i Idler of invitation from Mary (iantino, Secretary to Fred Zanelli, Fresident of tlie Island of Siietcss. Mary has invited us to be her quests on tlie Island for a month. Fverythmg is ready to go; vve arc waiting for a Linteri Limousine from the airport. We shall fly from Boston to New York and then board our ship for the Island. Donald Haras, who is driving the airport limou- sine, is waiting to take us to our destination. Upon arriving at the airport, Margaret Lydon tells us our flight leaves in ten minutes and that our pilot will be Peter Kallio and Co-pilot, Ronald Kangas. While waiting to board our plane, we meet an old friend, Dom Mancini, with five stars on his shoulder. He is a five-star general. Dom tells us that he is seeking Presidential nomination. We wish him good luck and head for the magazine counter. We have time to purchase one magazine. What is this — Ruth Emanuelson on the front page of The Oil ' ll She is the winner of the Queen-for-Two- Weeks Contest to be held in Havana. Oh, yes, gum is good if you aren’t used to flying. Mary Harding is at the candy counter and recom- mends gum for just about anything. It ' s time to be off. Wow! What a big plane — this is one of the Higgins Airline Planes. Pat Aho, the stewardess, welcomes us aboard. It ' s a very short trip to New ' York, and upon arrival we start on our way to the M. H. S. Class of ' 54. The ship is late in starting the journey. What is the delay? We find out that w ' e are waiting for that very rich oil man, Raymond Tannuzzo — late as usual. He arrives with his dear friend, Ted Clark, co-ow ' ner of the Kay and Cee T. V. Corporation, and his personal ba ggage man — Ray Smith. It must be nice to have their money. After w ' aiting for an hour, we finally leave the harbor. Bon-voyage! All are settled in their cabins when we hear James Hanson on the public address system announcing some of the crew of the ship. The captain is Len Massarelli and his first mate is Andy Mitzeavitch. After a brief rest we decide to tour the ship and become accjuainted w ' ith fellow travellers, just as we open the door we see the renowned interior decorator Rose Buscemi and her two illustrious assistants, dhirley Leithead and Mary Grigas. Rose tells us she works very closely with that famous painter Sandra Stammers, whose paintings are in the dining room. Rose also reminds us of the big show ' tonight. The famed band leader Dom Barbuto is first on the pro- gram. Dorn’s pianist is JoAnne Sylvia. A very special treat is K. Bobritsky and M. Pizza and their hillbilly songs. Katty does a w ' onderful job of yodeling. We say goodbye to Rose and start our tour of the ship. Say isn ' t that — yes, it is; behind that book — Robert Lowney. He alw ' ays did like to read. We won ' t disturb him now. Look, standing over there! It’s Dotty Janulewicz and her husband, the district manager of the A. P. Dot had the good fortune to have a marriage license issued by Ronald Alving, City Clerk. Robert Johnson and Paul Duggan are waiting to photograph the new ' Iy-weds. They are the ship’s photographers. The next to be photographed will be Jo Porrazzo, who is on a free cruise after w ' inning the Miss Pizza Con- test. Jo looks pale and requests the ship’s nurse, Barbara Crotty. Barbara gave Jo a pill for sea sick- ness that w ' as compounded by the pharmacist on board, Margaret Sweeney. As we continue our walk about the deck, we catch a glimpse of someone w ' earing the most peculiar clothes. Oh! Russell Lattuca — we heard that he was on his way to the Island to hunt a rare” success bird. Good luck to him. You see all kinds of things on board ship. There is the ship’s barber giving haircuts. Well, if it isn’t Kenny Bingle! We start talking to him and he tells us that he w ' as just talking to Betty Duckworth, who is on a 30-day officers’ leave from the WAF’s. Ken says she has very short hair now — that’s what happens in the WAF’s.

There is the steward, Reino Niemi. Let’s go over and have a few words with him. Reino uas nice enough to inform us about some of the passengers on the ship. He told us Fred Mariani was head purser on board, and that our meals would be planned by dietitian Alma Bowse, and prepared by that great chef, Larry Tower. Reino also gave us the lowdown on those famous personalities on board. They are William Murphy, President of General Motors; Jack Tierney, owner of Thom McAn Shoes, Inc.; Albert Anderson, National Shawmut Bank President , and Norma Puckett, the personal buyer for Bonwit- Tellers most exclusive customers. Three great sports personalities aboard are Roger Murray, center for the Globe Trotters; Bruce Stalker, well known figure skater, accompanied by Madeline Salomone, also a famed skater; and Ed Lawton, world- wide w ' restler. We are again on our own, since Reino had work to do. Before he left he told us to go to Cabin 28. The great comedian, Alex Lalli, is signing autographs, but the line is too long. Oh, w ' ell, we can see him later. Gosh, there is Jerry Connors waiting in line. He must be on his way to the Island to set up one of his fabulous trailer camps. Well, if it isn’t Lowney sitting at the end of the line reading his book. That must be a pretty good book. After going back to our cabin and getting dressed for dinner, we go into the dining room — and who is sitting in the corner at a small table all alone but Lowney -- reading his book. The flowers on the table are really beautiful ; they must be from the flower shop on board which is operated by Jean Martino. Over at that table . . . it’s Alice Boeske and Priscilla Hoffman, dhey arc on their way to the Olympics. A1 is in the championship stockcar race and Cilia is going with her for a rest. She is very tired of teaching Driver Education at Maynard High S chool. What shall we order Here comes the head waiter Neil Whitney We ought to make up our minds. The dinner was very good, and we have about an hour before the night’s entertainment begins. Ted Clancy starts the entertainment with his great juggling act. His assistant is Virginia Sulkala. Gini teaches the first grade back home. She must enjoy vacations. The next entertainer is Elizabeth Jarmulowicz. Betty is known the world over for her beautiful piano arrangements. Barbuto’s Band just came on. It must be time to dance. First, look in the corner. Lowney is finishing his book. Well, he just finished it. The name of it was How to Enjoy Yourself on a Cruise. It’s getting late. We should retire for today. And let us all hope we reach the Island of Success. Norma Puckett Jack Tierney 1 2-1 1
