Meg was frustrated and embarrassed and didn’t want to ride in the parade alone. Fortunately, Phil Tavella w'as persuaded to take Bill’s place. When Andy Ratner and Margie Cerro ap- peared dressed as pirates, throngs of seniors, juniors, and sophomores manned their vehicles to start the Homecoming parade at the Bellmore train station.
