Will Rosalind Anderson and Rita Corazzini finish their argyle socks before Christmas? Where did Charlie McNutt learn to Mambo? Why has Jean Dobson taken a sudden interest in Som- erville Trade High ? Who are the stand-ins for Marilyn Monroe and Dagmar in 149? What is the sudden change in Deanna De Cresengo? Freddie Theroux maybe? Richie Coyne al- ways manages to get a sixth period. Is it because Miss Nugent likes him or does he like Miss Nugent? If anyone finds the an- swers to any of these questions, submit to 149 personally. 249 is glad to have Miss Carven back after her long illness. We are glad she is feeling well enough to be here, since you have to be in pretty good health to keep down this class. 244’s really leading the way this year with almost every S.H.S. organization represented by our seniors. To start off our list: Robert Rudolph, Vice-President of Student Council, Class Treasurer, member of the Radiator, and member of National Honor Society. Next comes Jane Emerson, member of National Honor Society, Girls’ Glee Club, Girls’ Choir, Entertainment Group, Girls’ Basketball team, member of the Radiator, and Secretary of the G.A.A. Ginny Smithers, captain of girl’s swimming, President of G.A.A, member of the Radiator and a cheerleader. The C.D.D. has three members from our class.

mores and wish the best of luck to the Juniors. We have two mysteries in 150. We would like to know how Cesare Cingarelli does ways gets a seat in the lunchroom. What does Marilyn Gore write about in the special period? We are glad to say that 150 is well represented on the Traffic Squad and foot- ball team. We are sorry to say that the fool- ball team has brought us one casualty, namely, Walter Mattos. Come all-come one-to wail up a storm in 141. We’ve got Ray Forcina and his talking trumpet with Dick Hardy accompanying by selling the pencils. When Joe Curran with his musical window shade, goes “rip-rip” Lor- raine (Mambo) McMahon really makes those feet move. Pat (Cha-Cha) Landers and Jean (Morlena) Fitzpatrick can really wail every time they see the water fountain’s main at- traction. Now Colin Adamson with his mys- tery chair really makes time—all the way up to the front of the room and after school. Elaine Lees, Anne Kelly, and Joanne LePore make a pretty buzzing sound every special period with Vern Pitts leading the harmony. Nancy Ramsey and her yellow paints are really doing a job on the blackboard. This room is busy all the time with Mary Gillette and her magic baton leading session and Mary Lou Pacific cheering them on. In 145 during special period the Japanese Ambassador, Lois Nunziato, finds David Cravo’s entertainment very pleasant. But back to local gossip. Patricia Greco is get- ting the sophomores of 350 all “shook up.” The Aviation crew, consisting of David Cravo and Dennis Vogelites, are working double duty lately flying their own supersonic jets around. In 243: Thomas McNamara, Proctor, and Dorothy Day, Assistant Proctor; bank treas- urer, Steven Stavros and Joan Camacho; Dick Danner, member of the football team; and Joanne Newman cheerleader. Some pertinent questions from 243: 1. How much success will “Debonaire Clyde Fitch” achieve? 2. Who is the Phantom Goon of Mr. Beaver’s second period algebra class? 3. Will that infamous quartet Novicello, Cardoso, Buckley, Michaud) of the English class survive the Blitz? Here’s the jive from 245. We are very priv- ileged and happy to have star football player Don Allard; cheerleaders Dorothy Bernicchi, Nancy Lynch, and Barbara Flynn; Drum Majorette Captain Elaine Shepherd and Drum Majorette Helen Laughlin. A few questions in our room are: What can we do to tell the twins, Janice and Janet Menino, apart? How come John Mc- Cann is so tired all the time? What makes Thomas Thibault so popular with a certain girl? Why does everyone shiver and shake before giving oral topics in English and His- tory ? If the girls of 147 want information on how to keep a beautiful wave in their hair they should consult Bruce Brown. He seems to be doing all right. One question we’d like answered is: Why does Carol Smith use up her special period day dreaming? Could it be because of a certain boy going into the service? We of 147 dare: Dottie Santangelo to stay soberfaced for a whole week of special periods; Brian Coady to become a famous scientist; Rose Marie Nardella to do less than 70 words a minute in typing; Elinor Fin- negan to marry a millionaire; John Collins to wear white bucks; Freddie Zirpolo to but- ton his shirt collar; Mary Werner to “go steady” with one boy at a time; John Frano- vich to date a midget; Bruce Brown to bring home more than one book a night; and Gerry Milano to stop talking. Here is some gossip from 247. Why are Clara Patalano and Mary Angelo always stopping short when they go by 251 ? Why does Alice Carey visit us after lunch every day? Where do Anne Johansen and Barbara Radochia go every day during special? 247 is proud of its good football player William Gallant. We have a new aunt in 247, Issie Mooradian. 247 has decided on their joint Christmas present for Miss Canavan. It will be a Mono- grammed crash helmet to protect her from falling maps, window shades, etc. Any con- tributions to this cause will be gratefully ac- cepted. It was during a special period in 149 that we were whalin’ up a storm and these ques- Twcnfy-two

.Iiiniiir Chiitti'.r With the start of the junior year, the pu- pils of Room 30 are seriously planning their futures. Carol Flynn wants to be a zoo keeper and is on the lookout for an opening at Frank- lin Park; Fred Manke wants to be a ballet dancer; Carol Donnaruma wants to have a million dollars without working for it; Georgie Noone wants to be a clown with Ringling Bros. Circus; Anita Crockett is planning to do some deep sea diving; and Bob Luther is going to be a Charles Atlas model. 31 is proud of Richard George and Jack Sullivan who are on the football squad. It is also reported from that room that Anthony Spinosa and Francis Brisbois are looking for- ward to the time when they will have their own secretaries—not to mention their own desks. 234 was moved by the spirit of election time and elected Carol Doyle as the prettiest girl; William Conroy as the handsomest boy; Ann DeNapoli as the best dressed girl; Fred Burpee as the best dressed boy; Elinor Elli- son as the most studious girl; and Charlie Graves as the most studious boy. They also elected Proctor James Errico and Assistant Proctor Thomas Giagrande; Room Treasurers Barbara Daley and Lorraine Punzo; and Red Cross Representative Augustine D’Entre- mont. 32 also had a poll and Vinnie Corcoran, center on the football team ran off with three titles. He was elected the most pop- ular, most likely to succeed, and the best looking boy. Jo Kennedy, who is a cheer- leader for the football team, was elected the most popular and most likely to succeed girl. Shirley La Count was elected the best dressed girl, and Bill Franz was elected the best dressed boy. And, last but not least, Mona Morrison was elected the best looking girl. Welcome back to Donald Douglas of 313 who just returned from Texas. Also con- gratulations to “Ronnie Russell and Phyllis Piccardi who cheered very well at the Everett and Chelsea games. 329 reports that it is well represented on the football squad by Albie Cullen; on the Track team by Eli Demetri, Don DiBona, Richard Liberace, and John Lovely; on Stu- dent Council by Lorraine Maxwell, Michael Gcrmley, David Brennan, and Patricia Fla- herty; and on the Radiator staff by Elaine Kotell and Pat Flaherty. What a busy room! 31 is really an unfortunate room. They seem to have more problems than anyone else. They want to know where Robert Har- rington gees when his friends from next door come paging him. The person who finds the answer to this question will be allowed to go along with him. They also want to know what goes on up in the corner of the room when Ted Haley, John Keddy and Johnny Matheson get together. Will somebody help them solve their problems? 324 certainly was sorry to hear of Florence Saitta’s surprise attack of appendicitis. We hope Flo will be well soon and back with us again. Poor Danny Fitzgerald can never con- centrate during Special because of Margaret Middleton, Linda McCormack, Amelia Mach- ado, and Jeanette Mazza, reading their sten- ography notes aloud. I guess we'll take up a collection and buy him some ear plugs. So be brave, Danny! Virginia Van Steensburg, Claire Thibedeau, and Eleanor Wilhverth, are collecting money from the members of 324. Virginia bus tickets; Claire, banking; Elea- nor Proctor for class dues. (Turn to page 30) Twenty-four
