Al- though the performers gave the general impression of inexperience and uneasi- ness in the ring, the revue was, on the whole, entertaining and well organized under the supervision of its Board of Directors. The competent board mem- bers were Jack Torbush as President, Jack Podmajersky, Vice President, and Claire Luedtke, Secretary-Treasurer. The stars of the show did not lack talent or ambition, despite their newness in this type of enterprise. I was surpris- ed at the promising ability of some of them. Along the acrobatic and strong arm line, Jimmy Colucci showed real sportsmanship and athletic achievement in three featured performances along with several other newcomers, Tom Zel- insky, Ray Parenteau, Rudy Schultz, Jack Podmajersky, Sonny Lugara, and Artie Kaulfers. The troop should really be proud of its barkers. Three of them, Barbara Griffith, Doris Kelber, and Claire Luedtke, earned a place on the nation's list of certified barkers because of their cheering ability and vitality. This is an honor not usually afforded members of such a young group, but then, the '48ers seem to have a lot of individuals among them worthy of acknowledgment. Some of its more serious performers, Roger Winters, Pat Benson, Barbara Tirsbier, and Thomas Washburn, received certifi- cates of honor from the Critic Associa- tion for their outstanding scholastic per- formance. The group on the whole was officially recognized in the world of the big tops by being granted a seat on the National Board of Circuses fa council of ten or- ganized for the promotion of circus interests in Americab. This post was filled by Barbara Griffith. In the future years, as the '48ers become better Known, larger representation will be alloted them. Getting back to the merit of the actual show, let me repeat that it did not utilize its potentialities, nor contri- bute much to the field of circus enter- tainment, but there were good reasons for that. The tension of the war and the inexperience of the troop more than a lack of ability or talent made this a mediocre presentation. Therefore, I pre- dict that next year and the years fol- lowing f'Parkls Class of '48 Revue will blossom into a masterful show worthy of the highest honors of the circus world. Time will tell! 'T' QA., 48'ers Revue Wins Critics Acclaim by PARKER SCOPE June 20, 1946 The Park's Class of '48 Revue has again taken the town by pleasant sur- prise. Better than last yearl , More lively! , Stars show great promise! are only a few of the exclamations I heard among the audience. And I agree. The cast has certainly handled itself with more assurance than was to be expected. The Board of Directors, Jack Podmajersky, Jack Torbush, Barbara Griffith, and Barbara Bleecker, manag- ed the show beautifully and the repre- sentatives to the National Board of Circuses, Barbara Tirsbier and Jimmy Colucci, certainly added some splendid ideas. Feats of prowess and strength again headed the bill. I noticed that many of this year's performers topped last year's records. Yes, Jimmy Colucci, Rudy Schultz, Bob Roth, and joe Rubino all showed great promise. And, of course, that already famous group of gal bark- ers sounded even better after Tessie Battell joined them. Between acts I followed the crowd of performers and spectators to a refresh- ment stand called Wulff's. This has be- come the hangout of the '-18ers who have been quick to follow the lead of other more famous circuses. If it is as much help to the '48ers at it was to circuses in the past, Park's Revue will have a lot to thank Wulff's for. After refreshing myself with an Emin Blend, I hurried back to my seat to view the next act entitled Youth Rec- reation . The cast worked hard for the privilege of presenting this act and seemed to be very proud of their ac- complishments. Of course, the older members of the National Board of Cir- cuses did most of the work but the '48ers representatives helped too. Games, dancing, and contests all combined to make this one of the most exciting acts of the entire production. The next act was a new and very welcome addition to the Circus. Almost the entire group joined together in presenting a hilarious comedy about a trip to the New York Museum of Natural History and an even funnier forbidden trip to Central Park. It was all great fun. Finally the certificates of honor were presented to Doris Glisencamp, Barbara Tirsbier, Barbara Bleecker, and Thomas Washburn. Although this show does not have too much originality, the cast members are talented and with experience I believe they will be able to put on a really excellent show that you won't want to miss. I wish them lots of luck in that next presentation. IHIVIW i f .bl r lm 'I' X . X A' XXV' i K N dfivfv' J . 1 .vll Third Revue Best Yet' by PARKER SCOPE June 20, 1947 The annual show at Roselle Park High has definitely improved with age. The production, 'tPark's Class of '48 Revue , under the able direction of business managers, Miss Hedley and Mr. Forrest, was a good one. The members of the cast capably led by Board Members, Jack Podmajersky, Dick Wahl, Patsy MCCaff6rty, and Claire Luedtke, show- ed great skill and accomplishment. A- mong the notables present at the show were Julia Kelly, Joe Rubino and Jimmy Colucci, this group's representa- tives to the National Board of Circuses. I noticed on the program the names of several boys who've been inactive in the circus world of late. They were off doing their bit for Uncle Sam. I'm very glad to see them resume their positions among the cast members and I know they'll be a great asset to an already excellent group. Football was the first highlight of the show. Jimmy Colucci, Rudy Schultz, Ray Parenteau, Sonny Lugara, and Richard Majesky were on the field while Pat Benson had joined the lively barkers. In this section a new star was brought to light. She was Patsy Mc- Cafferty who, as Drum Majorette, led the excellent band during their color- ful high-jinks. Next came a little portion dedicated to rings. All the '48ers purchased class rings to keep the memory of the Show dear to them. At a party after the per- formance I saw those rings. They cer- tainly are lovely and deserve every bit of pride the cast takes in them. But to get back to the show and on to another section of sports-this time to the delightful combination of basket- ball and wrestling. On the court there was excellent playing by Jimmy Colucci, Bob Geiger, Joe Rubino, Richard Ma- jesky, and Ray Parenteau and capable managing by Roy Kornmeyer while on the mat Gordy Nobbs, Tom Zelinsky, Bill Boffa, Norman Buik, George Fisch- er, Bob Capaldo, George Evans, Dom Constantine, Frank Wilson, Harry Shall- cross, John DeHoff, and Bob Roth and managers John Doncrank and Roy Misek did a wonderful job. And, of course, from the sidelines there were those resounding cheers again led by those able barkers. The dramatic section entitled f'My Sister Eileen came next. It was dirett- ed hy Miss Geehr and starred Nick DeMarco, Barbara Tirsbier, Barbara Bleecl-fer, Ted Prochazka, Dick Wahl. Edgar Mueller, Pat Benson, Dick Her- gert, Dick Gray, Peggy Carney, Bob Davey, Don Ohning, and those popular Spanish Admirals. The group was for- tunate about the setting for the play. It was an old basement apartment in New York City and the scenery was just as old. They were just lucky this time but perhaps they'll get new scenery next year. Who knows! But in spite of the scenery the play was a success and undoubtedly proved 11 financial as well as cultural aid. Baseball-the favorite of Americans everywhere-had its part in the show too. On the diamond Jimmy Colucci, Joe Rubino, Richard Majesky, Ray Par- enteau, Dick Wahl, and Rudy Schultz did some skillful playing and made this section worthy of attention. Then came the lovely act entitled Junior Prom . I heard talk that the theme of a circus was not too favorably welcomed at first. However, I'm sure the members of the cast changed their minds, for the circus with its sparkling mural decorations, colorful streamers, and huge balloons was a pleasing sight indeed. But the most enjoyment I re- ceived was seeing the good time had by the cast dancing to that mellow music. Yes, I'm sure now they approved of the circus idea. As usual, there were certificates of honor given to those deserving this tri- bute. In this presentation Barbara Tirs- bier, Barbara Bleecker, and Thomas Washburn were the lucky ones. Only the ending of this show lacked the accustomed color and brilliance. However, next year we're promised a bang-up finale in the form of a gradu- ation. So be there-I will! ,- 51' Circus Fulfills Promise of Maturity by PARKER SCOPE June 22, 1948 I have just had the pleasure of seeing one of my prophesies come true. Four years ago I reviewed the premier of a new circus which was presented under the name of Park's Class of '48 Revue. This production was interesting because it showed that, while the performers were inexperienced and suffered from stage-fright, they had a good deal of promise. Then and there I predicted that time and experience would turn that inferior presentation into an ex- cellent work of art. Each succeeding year I watched the circus with more and more enthusiasm until this year I can safely say that Parlds '48ers have lived up to all my expectations. This yearls circus got off to a fast start when the performers hoisted their green and white banner with its rose emblem over the big top. Next came the introduction of this year's board of directors. The board members, William Jones Rudy Shultz, Dolores Huebner, and Donald Cullerton took their bows along with the '48ers representatives to the National Board of Circuses. These representatives were Joe Rubino, Teddy Prochazka, Richard Wahl, and Jack Po- majersky. The first act which became an instant hit was exhibitions of strength and skill with a football. The standouts of this portion of the circus were Captain James Colucci, Rudy Shultz, Anthony Lugara, Ray Parenteau, and Richard Gray. The next all-star act was a play en- titled The Man Who Came To Dinner. This presentation, which was greeted with cheers of acclaim, clearly showed how professional the '48ers had grown. I'd like to mention that Nick DeMarco, the '48ers' top male comedian, scored another smashing success as The Man along with Doris Kelber, Barbara Grif- fith, Robert Bacastow, Dominick Con- stantine, Marilyn Fuller, Sam Colucci, Patsy McCafferty, Harry Shallcross, Joan Bagwell, and several other talent- ed holdovers from last year's produc- tion. New scenery added a great deal to this excellent show. Speed, quick-thinking, and brawn all contributed toward making the next part of the circus popular with everyone. Of course, I mean basketball and wrestling. Captain Bob Geiger, James Colucci, Joe Rubino, and Ray Parenteau gained fame on the court while Co-Captains Robert Roth and Gordon Nobbs, Harry Shallcross, Norman Buik, Dominick 5 4 ' x L 1 , , g it Q. , .f li If . ' ie .L X V ' . J Ill re Wlllilllllllllllllllllllf, J my .Z t illllllllllllllll Constantine, George Evans, William Boffa, George Fischer, John DeHoff, Donald Cullerton, and Tom Zelinsky gained acclaim on the mat. It was a big act indeed. Long about this time a new performer was introduced to the excited audience. He was Albert Bebert and he certainly was a welcome addition to an already star-studded cast. After a slight intermission for candy canes and Christmas trees, the last part of the '48ers Revue was presented. The main act of the second half also came under the heading of sports. This time the stars were baseball players Captain Rudy Shultz, James Colucci, Richard Wahl, Joe Rubino, George Ledder, and Ray Parenteau. The performers along with all the other sports stars have done a lot toward making the '48ers' Revue the success it is. They really deserve the applause they received throughout their years of service. A change of location marked one of the closing acts when scenery depicting a trip to Washington, D. C. appeared in the Big Top. Another of the later acts was a scene portraying a visit to the prom of a sister circus. At last the lights were dimmed, and to the strains of the '48ers' theme song The Whiffenpoof Song , the curtain rose on the grand finale. The entire cast of the circus paraded around the ring, made speeches, and finally received certificates of graduation which pro- moted them out of the ranks of ordi- nary circus performers. Yes, my prophesy has been fulfilled. 'tPark's Class of '48 Revue has come to a smashing and wonderful end. I say end regretfully because I have just received word that the circus is disbanding and its cast scattering all over the world. I hope that after four years this close-knit group of talent will never scatter too far from each other. However, wherever they go and what- ever they do, I know that every mem- ber of the l48ers' cast will continue to live up to the circus's trademark This far, and farther . rx Kg -ir '::'.-T' ' . CLASS POEM We're all here assembled In the class of forty-eight, But after graduation We'll be forced to separate. Some of us will now go on To further education, And who knows, some day, even might Be leaders of this Nation. We'll always look back to the days When we were all together, The days when we had lots of fun, Regardless of the weather. We'll remember days of rain, And also days of snow, And we'll remember that Park High Has taught us all we know. BOB CAPALDO We'll always keep the memories As years go passing by Of all the joy and fun we've had, While going through Park High. On top of our bright memories Will be the Park High School, And even though we're parting, Bright thoughts of her will rule. And when we read the paper, And see a classmate's name We know it won't be something wrong lt'll be the Hall of Fame. We know there'll be some members Of the class of forty-eight Who'll go out into this wide world And accomplish something great. CLASS SONG BOB CAPALDO lTo the tune of The Whiffenpoof Song l To the teachers down at Park High, To the school we love so well, To the underclassmen that we leave behind, We are sorry that we're leaving, And we want you all to know, That bright memories of you we'll keep in mind. No, you'll never be forgotten by the Class of Forty-eight, Doesn't matter where we go or what we do, And no matter what we take up, we know there'll be success, For Park High we have the knowledge taught by you. Chorus: We're now full of sorrow, as we graduate Bye: bye: bye: For we know that it means we will separate , l: If 5' 'Y Qs 'ff ill ' lil, -:S ll .B i Llll lllllllll Bye, bye, bye. We will endeavor to lead the way, To a more quiet and peaceful day, But before leaving you, we must say, Bye, bye, bye. l. l Al l 1 CLASS OFFICERS WILLIAM JONES RUDOLPH SCHULTZ DONALD CULLERTON DOLORES HUEBNER Pfesidenf ' Vlce President Treasurer Secretary YEARBOOK EDITORS BARBARA Bl-EECKER RICHARD LIEBERMAN Edifor Editor 4' . .NX ,F .ir -rf .

Since you are always interested in our old school chums, I thought l would write you. Bill Koller, the ringmaster, started the show by introducing the king of the clowns who was none other than Roland Swanson. The fine circus band was led by Sam Colucci who played the introduction to the main event of the evening, which was the lion taming featuring Bo Bodine. The music for the show was composed by Bob Dzina. A Among the celebrities in the audience was Betty Finwall who had just made her debut in Madame Bubblegum, the new opera inspired by Janet Gucker and composed by Teddy Prochazka. Another was Barbara Griffith who wrote the famous editorial that exposed the dope smuggling ring operated by that slick Roy Kornmeyer. In the middle of the show we noticed a commotion: Dolores Huebner and Julia Kelly fainted when they caught sight of the new swooner crooner, Joe Miczulski, accompanied by his two bodyguards, George Fisher and Norman Buik. It wasn't until law and order could be restored by policemen Charles Ohning and Buddy Ledder that first aid could be adminis- tered by nurses Marion Neumann, Hazel Kay, Fay Drosdick, and Judith Haus. Uncle Bob Geiger was there taking notes for his weekly broadcast to the kiddies. This program is sponsored by Frank Wilson's new product, Messies , a breakfast food created by Ed Daley and Sonny Lugara. The com- mercials are sung by Bob Capaldo, the singing commercial king. A great part of the audience was made up of girls who are attending the secretarial convention here in New York. Among them I saw Tessie Battell, Alice Schubert, June LaPoint, Claire Luedtke, Betty Shugrue, Jean Schmidt, Violet Tucci, and Theresa Richetti, Near them were Helen O'Donnell and Peggy Carney, the telephone supervisors of the Bell Telephone Company. Occupying some box seats were Bill Boffa, Don Cullerton, John DeHoff, Tom Zelinsky, Gordon Nobbs, Harry Shallcross, Don Constantine, and Robert Roth, members of the National Championship Wrestling Team. Speaking of sports, those two rival football coaches, Rudy Schultz of Navy and Jim Colucci of Army were sitting side by side. On the back of the program we saw the advertisement announcing that new smash hit, The Secret Life of Richie Majesky, produced by Dick Lieberman, directed by Norman Davis and starring Nick DeMarco, Pat Benson, Patsy McCafferty, and Barbara Moore. Also among the advertisements was the announcement of the opening of the exclusive shop owned by Jack Torbush and operated by Marilyn Fuller. They will feature fashions designed by Evelyn Kruse, Barbara Langstaff, Claire Ehler, Rita Welch, and modeled by Alice Hogberg, Gloria Rego, and Marion Lebel. l was talking to Audrey Pentz a stewardess for the Pan-American Air Lines who told me about 'her recent passengers to South America. Marie Basalone Phyllis Culley and Jean Midgley were Spanish stenographers going I all I I I tk 2 Sai l .T . ,J iiil'lll't to work. Robert Bacastow and Albert Bebert were our ambassadors to Brazil. She also saw Joe Rubino and Dick Wahl who were going to join the Mexican Baseball League and Thomas Washburn who, with Barbara Bleecker, was going to organize the University of Rutgers at Brazil. Roy Misek was going to South America to teach scientific farming to the Indians. Sitting next to me were those two midget auto race drivers, Bill Jones and Arthur Kaulfers, and their two ace mechanics, Richie Schmand and Henry Thome. Bob Matthew was there with his two assistants, Jack Mooney and Edgar Mueller. He is the new boxing commissioner of New Jersey. Taking pictures of these personalities was Audrey White and to write their story, Ken Cadwell accompanied her. They represented the New York Times which is owned by Bob Davey and edited by me. During an intermission I met Emily Sonnemann, Laura Knight, and Barbara Pulda who are going to Paris in a few days to buy the latest in mater- ials for Marjorie Jerome's clothing store in Hollywood. I also saw John Tucci, owner of the New York Giants, and Dick Hergert, the nationally known sports columnist. John told me he had sold Dory Fisher a season's seat behind third base. After the circus performance I went to Bo Murray's Club 63. Playing here was John Doncrank's band featuring Dick Artuso and Frank Schneider, with Dick Gray and Marilyn Sales as vocalists. At a nearby table were Jack Podmajersky and Ed Boblick who, with Buddy Vick and Bob Weiman, made two million dollars by inventing an automobile that runs on water. They were backed financially by Joan Bagwell, the heiress. I also saw nearby Viola DeStefano, Betsy DeHoff, Margaret Tumbelty and Marion Draut who had attended the opera as representatives of the New Jersey Women's Opera Society. J. As I left the night club, .l saw Doris Kelber, Dorothy Hvozda, Dorothy-Ann Marshall and Dorothy Hyslop who were in New York to attend a policy making session of the Women's Political Action Committee. They had just heard speeches by Alfred Sievers and Margie Boetticher on World Politics. After leaving the night club and on my way home, I stopped off at Ray Parenteau's Restaurant for something to eat. I was served by Gloria Woolley and Ruth Titus. Ray had hired Nancy Higgins as a singer. While here I saw our old friends Thelma Harris, Jean Grimmer, Muriel Hahn, Doris Glisencamp, and Marie Tomasulo who had just returned from a tour of the Mediterranean. lsn't it strange that I met and heard of so many of our old classmates on one night in New York? No wonder The Big City is often called The Crossroads of the World. By the way, your newest picture will be in town Friday night and I cer- tainly won't miss it!

The setting of this three-act comedy was an old base- ment apartment in a none too fashionable section of the big cityl'. There was plenty of action, and laughs came fast and furiously, The cast found a very receptive audience and gave it their all. Because the evening audience came without bean- shooters lthe thoughtful audience of the afternoon before had remembered theirsl the cast was per- fectly at ease and there was not one bit of prompt- ing. tThe actors were especially proud of that.J There were many character parts that gave an excellent opportunity for splendid acting, The cast included Nick DeMarco, Barbara Tirsbier, Barbara Bleecker, Pat Benson, Teddy Prochazka, Dick Wahl, Edgar Mueller, Dick Hergert, Dick Gray, Peggy Carney, Bob Davey, Don Ohning, and those love- able Spanish admirals. Miss Geehr was heartily con- gratulated afterwards for turning out such a delightful play. SENIOR PLAY GN December 4, we presented the eagerly awaited The Man Who Came to Dinner , starring our great actor Nick DeMarco as The Man . ln spite of competition from Joe Louis, we managed to have a good audience present to enjoy this sparkling comedy. New scenery added the finishing touches to the setting which portrayed a small town home in Ohio. The comedy centered around the great Sheridan Whiteside's visit to the Stanley home where, after being injured by a fall, he took complete charge. This play had everything from British actors to axe murderessesg and with such actors as we provided forthe parts, it was a great success, The cast included Barbara Griffith, Marilyn Fuller, Robert Bacastow, Dominick Constantine, Sam Colucci, Patsy McCafterty, Harry Shallcross, Joan Bagwell, and Doris Kelber as well as many from last year's cast. To Miss Geehr, for her excellent job of directing our Senior play, went many votes of thanks, and, of course, to those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make our play go off well, the class extended their sincere thanks. And so ended our last dra- matic presentation as a class at Park High.

Led by Captain Jim Colucci and as- sisted by Rudy Schultz, Ray Parenteau, Sonny Lugara, and Dick Gray, the team met some heavy opposition. The season was climaxed by a hard fought scoreless tie with Roselle, in which the Park really looked tops. We sin- cerely wish Captain-elect Bob Shriner and the boys good luck for next year's season.

Seniors active on the squad include Bob Geiger, Joe Rubino, Jim Colucci, Rudy Schultz, and Ray Parenteau. l ll I 1 min IW ,i i l if ,, , 'lu if vi N ' N ii W WRESTLING AIDED by several returning matmen, the wrestling team is looking forward to a success- ful season. As usual, a heavy schedule looms ahead for the boys and many teams are re- suming participation in the county and state champion- ships. Heading the team this year are Co-Captains Gordon Nobbs and Bob Roth, who ex- pect a tough but good season. BASEBALL WITH several lettermen and a good pitching staff re- turning, prospects for the '48 baseball season appear very good. With the usual enthusi- asm, spring is being eagerly awaited. This year's Captain is Rudy Schultz, who is also an ace pitcher and outfielder. He is backed by a well rounded out team including many veterans. , l g-2 l f , If x X WWWWWW 9 ILLBUARD X Qi- fv' ,x I 4: by I mafia A-we Gaim W, MM M My 30' - MM!
