Gandolfi, Patrick Niro, Sandra Feccia, Joseph The Junior Prom The evening of May 9, 1959, will always be remembered as a cherished even¬ ing” to the class of I960. It was 8 p.m. and the Juniors were arriving at the John C. Lynch auditorium. Even a person most familiar with this hall would never have recognized it, on this par¬ ticular evening. As we entered the hall, we glanced at the tables which were very appropriately arranged with centerpieces consisting of apple blossoms around a candle. Everything was a glitter even the words Class of I960” written across the top of the stage. Shimmering red and yellow spotlights shone on our fascinating drapery. Our theme Apple Blossom Time” was beautifully conveyed by Ben Lancisi’s orchestra. Our committee consisted of: Joanne Besozzi, Joseph Apicella, Joyce Creasia, Michael Brita, Carol Gandolfi, John Con¬ soletti, Sandra Feccia, Richard Tessicini, Mary Mastroianni. Pat Niro. Dinner was served by candelight, which distinguished our prom from any other one. But as all fascinating dreams must finally come to an end, so did our Junior Prom. The Grand March was over and the lights were on, then the orchestra played the last lines of Apple Blossom Time” as we all danced the last dance of the evening. We will always remember and sometimes try to capture the precious memories of Our Junior Prom”. In one section of the grand march are Sandra Feccia, Vinnic Palma, Maureen Tedeschi. Head¬ lining the foreground we see Paula Webster, Pat Niro, Joyce Creasia, Carmen Ferrelli, George Holland, and John Consoletti. (■ 26

Lynch Aud¬ itorium. Nearly 1000 visitors, including parents, students, teachers and the general public viewed the largest Milford High School Science Fair since the program began in 1954. The fair consisted of 205 student-made projects in four categories: general science, biology, physics, and chemistry. Winning the two grand prizes were Edward Smethurst, a senior, for his project entitled Sodium Through Glass” and Ralph Mastroianni, a junior, for his project on the Physical Measurement of Reaction Time”. Both of these boys will represent our school at the Worcester County Science Fair to be held at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute sponsored by the Worcester and Greendale Kiwanis clubs of Worcester. The seniors dominated the scene again this year in their projects in all categories. Joe Apicella won first prize in physics. Carol Gandolfi also took first prize in Chemistry. Other senior winners were Nancy SanClemcnte and Craig Erickson. Some of the students that deserve mention for their effort put into their projects are Silvio Lombardi, Henry Bodio, Italo De¬ Santis, Mary Mastroianni, and Paula Web¬ ster along with many more. Twelve impartial judges coming from all the neighboring towns and some from our own town spent two hours in delib¬ eration before coming to their final decis¬ ions. With all the fine projects no wonder it took them so long! Mary, Joan and Patty stand proudly in front of Joan’s project. Barbara, Peggy, and Maureen seem deep in thought over this practical prob¬ lem. 25

Senior members occupying the chairs are Crystal Peaslee, Mary Todino, Barbara Zepf and Maureen Fitzpatrick. The Future Nurses This year, The Future Nurses of Am¬ erica Club, under the supervision of Miss Curtin and Mr. Moran, is composed of 30 girls contemplating nursing as a career. This number includes girls from the four classes. The officers are: President, Barbara Pyne; Vice President, Kathleen Romiglio; Secretary, Janet Colanti; Treasurer, Carol Gandolfi; and Librarian, Beverly Alberto. The primary aim of the club is to familiarize the girls with nursing by the distribution of pamphlets of the various nursing schools and by taking trips to the hospitals that the majority of the girls seem interested in. This year the girls toured Massachusetts General, Peter Bent Brigham, Burbank, Framingham Union, and Worces¬ ter Memorial Hospitals. We all want to thank the parents and friends who were kind enough to take time out from their busy schedules to furnish transportation to the various hospitals. These are the officers of the Future Nurses Club.
