Jim Gavin is our waste basket champ. No paper on the floor now. We in room 241 are very proud to have Miss Piercy as our home room teacher and we'd like to promulgate the fact. We wish Robert Fedele the best of luck in his effort in the scholarship examinations. Robert is one of the boys who entered “Boys’ State last June. We would also like to mention Joseph Gualtieri, who cheers us with his melodious voice and his hilarious jokes. What happened to the balance of boys and girls in room 251? There are only four girls and eighteen boys. Imagine that; 4.5 boys per girl! Although there have been some exhausted complaints from the boys, the girls seem quite content. There are now six members of the pre-driving class in 251. Room 249 would like to announce their athletes: In football, Paul Tucelli, and Eddie Capone; and track, Tom Vartabedian and Steve Preston. 249 also has a good Cub Scout Troop. Scoutmaster, Paul Machado; Den- mothers, Judy Green, Rosemary Siebert, and Gail Clark; Patrol Leader, Tom Vartabedian; Asst. Patrol Leader Eddie Capone; Scouts who would die for their country, Paul Tuc- celli, Phil Murray, John Compagnone, Harold Webber. These questions come from the brilliant minds of those in room 250. Why did Annette Thibeault sell her history book? Does Ed- mond Ernest spend his nights thinking of things to say during the day? Who is going to pay Richard Perry’s class dues? Anyone knowing the answers to any or all of these questions kindly contact someone in room 250. On the football squad are Paul Mc- Namara, Paul Reilly, and Cosmo Piccolo. Our pre-driving students are Annette Thibeault and Ellen Mangan. Good luck girls, when you go for your license. Do you feel run-down, depressed, or over worked? Well, if so, visit room 254. There you’ll find someone to take care of your every need. To improve your health, we have our own staff of future nurses, Jackie Bozzi, Joyce Smedberg, and Priscilla Corbett, plus our physiotherapists, Elaine Kaloyanides and Edythe Fishman. These girls would just love to practice on you. Then to build up your bones and take off some of that un- necessary weight, we have our athletic Leonard Flynn and his assistant, Jane An- tolini. After that, the room psychologists, Phyllis Buckley and Theresa Adario will analyze your troubles and prescribe Leo Carr for laughs, Ricky Welch and Elaine Kaloya- nides for friendliness, and then Jackie Bozzi and Donald Naugler for enlivening the heart. Of course, if all these experts can’t help you, we’ll have to turn you over to Robert Collins and Joseph Botelho, who will skillfully build you an excellent coffin. If you want to work out your problems, come to our social worker, Cindy Ago of 150. Your hair must need cutting, so see Margaret Anastas. Evelyn Zango has modeling classes every day for all who are interested. Roberta Morris will be glad to help you with your secretarial work, especially bookkeeping. Kathie Neofotisto will tell you some real fishy stories (she’s a deep sea diver). Lor- etta McHugh is taking on a list of passeng- ers for her first air-line stewardess flight. Our top brass is June Netcher, who will bless the U.S.A.F. with her services. Jerry Coffey is going to be president of the AA. Twenty-one

We also have a few athletes on board: Eli Travassos, Jerry Sullivan, and Jimmie McCann, who are well known as foot- ball players, and Robert Constantino, track star. We congratulate Robert Constantino on his election as president of the Key Club and Nancy Mitrano on her election as Sec- : stary of the Girls’ Glee Club. Good luck, kids! The rest of the crew holds the highest rank of all, that of being called “good sports.” We, the cellmates of 243, have a few ques- tions we would like Joe Friday to solve: WTio throws gum wrappings in Charlotte Fafel’s desk? What do Sharon Williams and Dolores Viera find to talk about? Why is everyone so sleepy during fourth period? Why doesn’t Alfred Varney lock the lockers? Any an- swers? We congratulate Sharon Williams and Irene Wackrow on their election as presi- dent and vice-president, respectively, of the Girls’ Glee Club. We are represented in Na- tional Honor Society by Sharon Williams and Donna Williams. Our class officers are: Proctor, Angelo Piso; Assistant Proctor, Pat Thibedeau; Car Checks, Ruth Tassinari; Radiator Reporter, Charlotte Fafel; and Bahk Treasurers, Dolores Vieira and Margaret Doherty. Attention, all boys! If you are tall, blond, athletic, and have a pleasing personality, come to 244 right away. Gerard Cerrato has the pupils in 244 confused on how he sprained the ligament in his leg. We are proud to have in our class the outstanding football player, Robert Duarte. Herbert Johnson was voted proctor for our room. Robert Baker is the unknown artist of the class of ’58. Larry Bettencourt’s favorite color is blue, not red. Beware! This is the chatter from 252.

We have active in various clubs, the follow- ing: Bill McKenzie, Cross Country and Key Club; William Ellis, Art Club; Louise Price, Literary Editor of the Radiator. At a recent tryout of the majorettes, Charlotte Shepherd was chosen leader. Betty Emery, Peggy McQuaid, Roy Phillips, Robert Goni, and Charlotte Shepherd are taking pre-driving lessons. From all reports, they are doing very well. Bill Hutchinson is lucky. He al- ready has his license and drives to school. Our thanks to Fred Costa for the good job of washing and cleaning our new boards. Twenty

Joseph Behan will be taking Jack Benny’s place on the violin at “39. Barbara Gerrior will teach driving in her ’58 Lincoln. Room 147 would like to announce that we have Snow White and her seven dwarfs among us! Snow White, Miss Ayers; Grumpy, Donald Gedick; Sneezy, Fred Bunbridge; Sleepy, Carl George; Happy, Margaret Cur- ley; Doc, William Brine; Bashful, Joanne Barnes; Dopey, Judith Baldi. We in 147 are all so fond of Miss Ayers that we made up this poem about her. Miss Ayers is the queen of 147; She watches us like an angel in heaven; She is always in demand to give us a helping hand; And wherever in the end we land; We’ll thank Miss Ayers for being just grand. Congratulations to room 106 for the Hal- loween display. Now for some of the vital statistics. George Ells is our class proctor (the best yet!) This was the result of a unanimous vote taken by the girls. (All two.) Vinny DiRusso is the class clown; Ronald D’Amato is the best dressed; George Sharpe is the quietest. Just a few pet peeves were re- ported. Catherine Ferrarine, short boys; Gloria Hachey, alarm clocks; John Gasper, dogs, and Miss Connolly has one which chills her soul. It is called “chair tilting. Room 152 congratulates Sebastian Piccolo for being a member of our winning foot- ball team. Keep it up, Seb. We’re proud of Barbara Lamb, too. She’s one of our very best cheerleaders. Good luck, kids. By the way, how did Henry Perry get in the first row, first seat? Room 154 has compiled the following sta- tistics: Cutest girl, Jeannie Capuano; cutest boy, Angelino Carlino; best personality (girl) Ethel Ardolino; best personality (boy) Vinny Bucanero; best dressed girl, Marilyn Cameron; best dressed boy, Danny Greib; class clown, Barbara Brown; most talkative, Mary Ellen Ivester; class brain, Joe Bruno; cutest smile, Richard Humphrey; most likely to succeed, Robert Brown. The members of 151 congratulate Sophie Cymbalak for being awarded her citizenship papers. She is now a citizen of the United States. We have also discovered that there are several members of 151 with peeves: Lorraine DeMille’s pet peeve is homework; Barbara Bennett dislikes conceited boys; (turn to page 30) Well, we know you want to know what we juniors have been chatting about this fall. That’s why we are writing about ourselves in this issue of the Radiator. As we open the door of 313's new modern home room we find: the most popular boy is Guy Feronie, the class Romeo is Ronnie Di Noferio, the class Juliet is Jerry Romano, the most talkative is Danny (gabby) Hayes, and the class clown is Guy Ferroni. 313 boasts a cheerleader and two football players: Gerry DiBonia, Jackie Burgess, and Ronnie Di Noferio. The occupants of room 31 would like to know the answers to these puzzling ques- tions: Why does Nancy Blown sit gazing toward room 25 during special? How does it happen that Francis Doncaster is always getting hiccups in class? Why doesn’t Ronald Della Grotte sing to the whole class instead of to the girls only? (You should join the Boys’ Glee Club, Ronnie). Why doesn’t Paul Dumas get a pogo stick to hop around on? Carrying on the homeroom responsibilities of 321 are Proctor Constantine Rigapoulos, Assistant Proctor Josephine Accorto, Bank Treasurers Judy Bresnahan and Joanne Brine. Twenty-two
