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

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

Everyone in room 25 is “All Shook Up’’ over the loss of the door knob. Will the scoundrel who took it please return it? Congratulations to Phyllis Oates recently elected vice-president of the Girls’ Glee Club and to the football star, Bill Del Vecchio, who finally paid the last installment of his class dues.

Room 330 announces election results: Miss Success, Carolyn Mullane; Mr. and Miss Popularity, Edward Linehan and Rita Naimo; Miss Cupid, Jean Manza; Mr. and Miss Flirt, Edward Linehan and Marie Compas; and Mr. Clown, Donald Chartrand. The members of room 221 are anxious to get to know you. Irene Tasse from Trieste, Italy, says “Bon Giorno” to you all. 221 boasts vivacious drum majorette Jean Rumson and “Delicate Delinquent” Richard Daly. What do Warren Mahady and Dave Sheehan confer about at the back of the room? Why does Karen Jones find French so fascinating? These are the questions puz- zling the minds of 332’s bright students. Welcome to Club 232! The most exclusive club in town. Look around. That tall, slender lad talking with the girls is Joe Barrett. The one who’s giving Joe the most attention is Dale Dangora. Across the room Louise Musto and Annemarie McWheeney, two permanent bankers, laughing with the great track star, Alan Stanford. Oops! There is a comedian Anthony Irani trying to make Carmen Gailey stop singing “You Send Me.” He can’t make Carmen stop. Help!!! The members of room 24 have selected Lois Bertocci as the best dressed girl; David Pegoni as best dressed boy; Mary Nelson as prettiest girl; David Pegoni as handsomest boy; Virginia Young as the most likely to succeed; and Sidney Kana as class clown. David Pegoni and Vincent Pero represent room 24 on the football squad and Mary Nelson honors room 24 by being a cheer- leader. Calling Sam Spades! Can you solve the three mysteries in room 32? (1) Why does Angie Errico wear pink kneesocks with red shoes ? (2) What is Elaine Cafarelli’s newest pastime now that the baseball season is over? (3) Why is John Tosi so quiet? Way up in room 329, next door to the sky, the students are chattering about election re- sults. Among the girls Nancy Bond is most popular; Barbara Davidson is best dressed; Mary Cronin is most likely to succeed; and Loretta Treska is class flirt. In the boys’ de- partment Raymond Mahoney is most popu- lar; Russell Brown is best dressed and most likely to succeed; Redmond Mahoney is class flirt; and Tliek Kouropenis is class clown. Room 329 boasts football player Redmond Mahoney and majorette Barbara Davidson. Way down in a corner of the West build- ing’s basement dwells a real gone gang. As you walk by, you hear three cheerleaders (Nancy Noble, Jean Compagnone, and Janice Nissenbaum) drowning out the not- (turn to page 30) Tw«nty-thrcc
