PROPHECY For January 1954 On january 31, 1970 a come-as-you-arei' party was held at the mansion of joseph Marra in Upper Sanduski. The purpose of the party was to bring together the january '54 graduates of North High School. Mr. Marra's caterer, Mr. joe Condolora, was given instructions to make this affair as informal as possible. Because a come-as-you-are party would catch the invitee in the most informal conditions, it was decided to be the most suitable. The telephone company was kept very busy on that last evening in january as telephone calls flowed from the Marra mansion to all parts of the city saying, Come as you are. The lull in the taxi business was ended as everyone rushed to the scene of the festivities. As the guests arrived, they were admitted into the fabulous home by the butler, Mr. Bob ,DeRegis. Miss Inez Wall, always the efficient maid, was on hand to assist the guests into the main ball room where another butler, Mr. Bob Procopio, announced the guests upon entrance. V The first guests to arrive were the two Florence Nightingales of our day, Miss Rita LaPenta and Miss Phyllis Schadt. They are still dressed in their uniforms after a hard day's work at the hospital. Following them was the famous journalist, Mrs. Clancy O'Toole fDonna Vercilloj, escorted by Mr. O,Toole himself. They came complete with typewriter, press card, seven children, and all. just about then, a lot of noise was heard. It was just Guy Marnell and his orchestra which included john Speach, John Testone, Fred Costello and pianist Celia Paladine tuning up their instruments, and featured vocalist, Jean Cangemi, exercising her voice. A request was made for the orchestra to play Old Soldiers Never Die, They just Fade Away in honor of General Peter Cazzara and his family. However, for Mr. Carl johnson, the best bricklayer in Sanduski, they played Cement Mixer, Putty, Putty. Mr. Marra's phone call caught Carl in his bricklayer apparel. Some pretty ladies took time from their secretarial duties to attend the party. They were Toni Ventrone, Jerry Masucci, Bernice Manzi, Veronica Bamberger, Toni Pisani, Barbara Santaro, and Nancy Galtieri. These girls were very impressed by Mr. Paul Musaio, the tycoon of the Musaio Flower Corporation. Louise Russo and Barbara Boysen were the objects of many green eyes as they displayed their lovely new hairdos. 'These famous beauticiansy have just returned from Paris where they had their schooling. J A An outstanding lady caught the eye of the press. She is Miss Celestine Ianno who won the Nobel Prize for her book, The Way to Make F riendsf, A friend of Miss Ianno and also a very well-known lady is Miss Katherine Maurillo, the first woman president of the C.I.O. A mad scientist, Rosemarie Pagano, used her friends as guinea pigs for a new drink which she guaranteed would pick you up and never let you downf, Mr. Nicholas Defio, Sanduski's best pharmacist, just happened to be prepared with medicine for the unfortunates who found Miss Pagano's theory to be false. Mr. Marra,s phone call would never have caught Sharon Dressler, Nadine Luther, and Theresa Scudero in old clothes. They married the Doe-Re-Me brothers who are presidents of the three largest banks in Sanduski County. When the party began slowing down, Joanne Brandt la. M - Bunny Hop. Dolores Haffner, Ioan Schmidt, and Mary Conte joined in. It wasnit long before everyr - : was dancing. Emilio DeCarlo, John Bruno, John Appel, and Don Tucci, dressed in their U. S. uniforms, arrived in time to join the fun.
