.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

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.

!iii|iliimiuri! liliiittiir Now that the Sophs have become full- fledged members of the class of ’57 we would like to know the answer to a baffling question. “What makes us so conspicuous in the cor- ridors?” (That awed look!) The bright, happy faces of 204, are what you will see as you pass our door! We wish to thank our representatives, Johanna Ham- wey, Kay Arnopp, Pat Vacca, Rita O’Leary, Barbara Morgan, Barbara Dunlea, Barbara Hughes, and Mr. Protopopas for their help in making 204 one of the top Sophomore home- rooms. When we were asked our secret am- bitions, some of us gave the following: Louise Balboni, to go to West Point; Phil- berto Solano, to become a Catholic Brother; Barbara Dunlea, to play on Notre Dame’s football team; Mary DiLeo, to become a lady wrestler; Barbara Hughes, to get married; John McGillicudy, to be a label licker in a mayonnaise factory. (Truth is stranger than fiction). 204 would like to know what Janice Graves and Lenny Hassett talk about every day after lunch and between classes? (How about it, kids?) We would really like to know. So if you happen to see Joe Friday around in the corridors, please send him to us immedi- ately. In a recent poll taken in 210: John Scoz- zaro was selected as the best looking boy; Judy Varney, best looking girl; Bob Smith, most talkative; Paul Donato, best dressed boy; Louise McDonald, best dressed girl; John Walker, shyest boy; Marie Scutellaro, shyest girl; Bob Pullo, Mr. Personality; Judy Varney, Miss Personality; Pat Stadollo, smartest boy; Marie Scutellaro, smartest girl. 115 reports that Marian Price, Pauline An- drews, Marian Whitmore, and Rosalyn Per- rone have joind the G.A.A. Also in 115 Shir- ley Taylor plays trombone and Nick DiLiegro is a bass in the Glee Club. The girls are curious as to the BIG secret between Marilyn Tosi and Donald Reberio. (Silence is the best policy.) Mark Hagopian is our contribution to the football team and Anthony DiSarcina is our representative on the track team. Judy How- ard, Carol Bennett, Joan Higgins, and Dick Johnson play in the band. Dot Shubow and Charlotte Coughlin are active members of the Players’ Club. Last, but not least, Phyl- lis Stratis, Junior Red Cross Rerpecentative, reports that we had one hundred percent membership in the recent drive. That’s what you call school spirit.) A Poem from 349: There is a boy who skates a lot, FUN and PEP he sure has got. He’s always acting like a Clown, And on those skates he goes to town. He can turn, spin, and fall, And is al- ways within your call. He is TOPS with the gang, And when you’re with him you get a bang. When we say bang, we mean fun out of life, Because he can give you an awful fright. Now by fright we mean with the faces he makes. Honest to goodness they’d take all the CAKES. His jokes and sayings are really a hit, And that just proves he has HUMOR and WIT. There’s never a sad moment when he’s around, Because he’ll look at you and laugh away your frown. His PERSON- ALITY is so warm and STEADY, That he makes you think you’ve known him already. Now do you know whom I’m talking about? Why of course, it’s Sunny Reardon without a doubt. The whys and wherefores of 349: Marie Birkemose is now known as “The Blond Ter- ror.” (I wonder whose idea that was?) Mari- lyn Caldwell has her regular dose of laugh- ing gas every day. She has her whole class in stitches. Why did David Squire cut off his Toni? Or was it a Prom?? (’nough said). 351 reached one hundred per cent in the Red Cross Drive, thanks to the work of Lois McGowen. (CONGRATULATIONS, Lois.) Twenty-five
