Suddenly I was no longer sleeping but traveling in a cab down a broad highway bordered on either side by rich green farmland. I was very much surprised to learn from the driver that the land was owned by my old classmate, Bill Sturm. As we rode by Bill's house I caught a glimpse of my old friend Kitty Togno shooing some chickens out of her flower bed. The highway eventually led into a large city. Naturally curious as to my where- abouts, I inquired of the cab driver where we were. He informed me that we were in Netcong and I noticd the small calendar in the cab was dated l962!l After paying my fare, I wandered into the Post Office and there was my old friend, Henry Shubert, sorting mail. He told me his position as pastmaster kept him quite busy. Henry and I started talking about our school days and he told me that some of my girl friends were working at the Netcong General Hospital. I went over to see the hospital and, while wandering through its gleaming hall, Charlene Rarick came hurrying by. She only had the time to say Hello and then she had to hurry upstairs to assist Lee Meyerson. head surgeon, in a major operation. Further down the hall I caught a glimpse of Chris Mailander and Cathy Sawchuck in starr-hed white uniforms. They waved and then hurried into a patient's room. I wandered out into the street again and over to the newly 'enlarged A 8 P store. As I entered one of the aisles, I was surprised to see Barbara Bahm, Joyce Everman, and Roberta Agens. They were discussing the economy of the married woman. They asked me if I had seen the new High School. As I hadn't, I grabbed a cab and took a ride up to my old Alma Mater on College Road. I doubt if anyone could have prepared me for the amazement I felt at seeing this beautiful, modern building. Lynn Dalberg was teaching French and she told me that Helen Harbourt was doing very well teaching Latin. I saw Mary Lou McConnell disappearing into Mr. Frisoli's old room. Teaching history had always been Mary Lou's greatest desire. I found Margaret Smith busily typing in the office. She had replaced Mrs. McGillick. On the ground floor of the school I found a large modern manual training room, where Malcolm Batson and Bob White were busily instructing a large group of boys. Right next door was the guidance department. Marilyn Riggs, who had always had a pleasing personality, was head of this department. In the new library I found Ma Peterson. Norma was busily cataloging books and didn't have much time to talk. I told her how surprised I was to see so many of my old classmates. She told me that Betty LaFalce was a biologist in a laboratory in New York. Norma told me to be sure and go see the new Dupont plant operated by Peggy Yonkauski. Many of the members of the class of '55 were employed there as secretaries. Vincenirz Franco- macaro. Anna Baylor. Dolores DiRenzo, Irene Compagnone, and Pat McManus were busily typing. Pat said that Margaret MacLauren was doing much of the designing for Dupont. I learned that Nancy Griggs had opened up her own detective agency with Lois Fuschan as her private secretary. Richard Elwell was still in the Navy, and the common belief was that he would make it his career. In reading the television listings. I learned that the Bowman Sisters were a regular part of the cast on Codfrey's Friends. Colleen Murtha and Tommy Wallace were receiving favorable press ravings for their sparkling wit on the Comedy Hour. I also noticed that two more of my old classmates had fulfilled their musical ambitions. John Smith and Leonard Narracci were wowing the public with their sensational piano duets. Naturally, Philip Schomp, a former All-State Chorus man, was singing in a large church in New York City. A fine new barber shop had opened in town and I saw my old classmate Anthony Lamberto, giving some'local citizen a shave. Right next door was a new radio-television repair shop owned and operated by Sonny Costanza. Basenese's Oldsmobiles was doing a booming business with Mary Basenese as their top salesman. Bob Colabella had opened a dancing school in town which was fast becoming very successful. The Dodgers were favored to win the series. Their outstanding pitcher, Jack Haag, had played a major part in helping them take the pennant. I learned that another old classmate of mine, John DeMattio, had signed a contract to coach at Duke University this year. Another old classmate, Bob Esposito, was coaching at Moravian. Philip Esposito, now superintendent of the Lackawanna Railroad, waved as he rode past me in his new Cadillac. Rosemarie Grogan was still Attorney Meyerson's secretary. Rosemarie told me that Paul Batson was employed at the Bell Telephone Company and really enjoyed his work. Gus Rampone had enlarged and modernized Rampone's Shoe Repairs. I heard he was using a great deal of new time-saving machinery. Square Deal Coal Company was expanding rapidly due to the charm of their able secretary, Diana Bencivenga. Another establishment, Dezio's Body Shop. was keeping John Dezio, another old classmate of mine, very busy. John told me that Bobby Newton had a wonderful job as manager of the L'Pep Boys in Dover. Bob had always been very active and this news didn't particularly surprise me. The next thing I knew, sunlight was pouring into my bedroom. I realized that I had only been dreaming!! However, I'm sure that all the members of the g'Class of 'SS' will some day fulfill their ideals and ambitions with the utmost of success. -MARY LOU McCONNELL l v f . r . - .'.' f.1.Q Qr-Qjl' 1, . -fx L -': r ' .'?4f ff- .qfiff--g.
