Room 243 extends pood luck to Carol Tay- lor, Janice Rogers, Lillian Reilly, and Phyllis Jackson at Pre-I)rivng. Some of the ques- tions for the month are: What would Claire Talbot do without Rita Sparanges??? Why does Janice Ricci always comb her hair dur- ing special?? Why do Elaine Peak and Irene Tassy have so much to talk about? How does Marcia Di Silva manage to doze in most of her classes? Are some of the girls planning to change their hair styles? Why are the boys so out-numbered? Here we are again, but this year we are seniore. Have you ever been to 149 to meet some of the class? Well, we’ll describe a few to you. The quietest is Janet Birkemose; Cutest Girl, Jean Delaney; Handsomest Boy, John Vidkofsky. Our real hep rulers are— Carmen Gailey and Pat Flynn. These are only a few. Look for 149 in the next issue to meet more of our interesting class. One cool September morning, spaceship S-147 landed on a planet called Earth. It car- ried on board a group of touring space visitors who had come on a good will tour. The first traveler to come out of the ship was the pilot, Miss Ayers; the second was the newly elected executive of the group, Student Coun- cil President Barbara Murray; the next-in- line was the travel agent, selling book- covers and second-hand tickets to the moon, Louise Kinsley. The Big Bopper, Charlie Wil- kins, cheerfully hopped off the ship sing- ing “Chantilly Lace”, while Karen Kelly cheered for her out-of-this-world football hero. The space people and the Earthlings began an exchange program. Regina Ma- honey decided to trade in her old Alaskan Husky, Lobo, for the new 1958 space travel- ing dog, Mutnik, while the Purple People Eater, Dave Spurio and the Earthling’s Witch Doctor, Alan Stanford struck up a conversation with the fast growing popular “Blob” which did not last very long because the good will space ambassador Joanne Naimo, called them all to return to the ship and as they once more prepared to blast off into space, the Rockin’ Rockets under the direction of Margaret Haddock gave their own rendition of the ever-popular “Now is the Hour that We Must Say Good-Bye”. Yak! Yak! Yak! Wow! Have we got news. Now read carefully so that you won’t miss anything. Help! Legitimate Problem-Solvers wanted! The occupants of 25 would like to know why Pamela Capuano is suddenly so inter- ested in football books, especially “Quarter- back All-American” ? Does anyone know who has been braiding Marie Micelli’s hair in English class? For whose telephone number is John Mclsaac searching desperately? Might it be Virginia Lepore’s? 330 is glad to announce the winners of the poll taken for 1958. They are as follows: the prettiest girl, Dorothy Pickles; best dressed boy, Ronald De Torte; smartest and most likely to succeed, Theresa Rei; and most cooperative in school affaire, Loretta Chandler. The top tune on 33’s record list is “It’s all in the Game,” and our favorite vocalist is Johnny Mathis. Welcome to 321. At this, the begining of our junior year, we would like to intro- duce you to a few of our class personalities. They are: Lorraine Rose and Henry Beers, the prettiest girl and handsomest boy; Mil- dred Allen and William Grassia, the best- dressed girl and boy; Tina Simone and James Green, the class flirts; and Eleanor Buono and Vincent Mega, the most popular girl and boy. Vincent Mega is also our class clown. Twenty-three

SENIOR CLASS CHATTER At last we are seniors and have lots to tell you, so here goes! ! ! ! Looking into the future of the occupants of 247 you will find John Piccardi’s ambition is to become a cowboy; Paul Gosdigan, a bookkeeper; Gerry Deegan, a nurse; Ray Antetomaso, the first man to reach the moon; Joe O’Brien, a soda jerk. 244 boasts of Ron D’Onofrio, the gridiron star, and hula-hoopin’ cheerleaders, Janice Nissenbaum and Louise Fortune. “Those Wedding Bells are Breaking up That old Gang of Ours.” Four girls from 241 have received their hope chests over the summer months. They have stars in their eyes and they are; Helen Brown, Barbara Strangmen, Jeanette Miele, and Mary Shan- non. Congratulations to Karen McDonald who made cheering! ! ! If you have homework problems, David Daley is the one to see! Congratulations to Robert Doherty from 143. Robert is one of the finalists in the Na- tional Merit Scholarship exams. Good luck, Robert. A cheer for Ernie Duarte! Ernie is co-captain of the football and baseball teams. Room 143 is well represented in activities at S. H. S. Some of our officers are: Gino Di Sarcina, president of the senior class, and co-captain cf the basketball team. Players’ Club: vice-president Concetta Tenaglia; cor- responding secretary, Charles Anderson; representative to the Student Council, Rose Bracci. Room 254 would like to know why Wil- iam Curren looks at Patricia Tildsely with starry eyes? Why Lois Whitcomb’s motto is Semper Fidelis???? Why Jean Di Mita finds college men, especially those with red hair, so fascinatng??? Bring all replies to 254. Room 245 would like to introduce you to some of their heroes. David Pignone is co- captain of the football team and Vinny Piro, John Christopher, Richard Muccini, and Wil- liam Del Vecchio (the touchdown kid) are right behind him to offer their support. To cheer them on we have Jean Campagnone and Jeanne Capabianco. One of the many activities which 245 represents is the Glee Club. Wiliam Cutts, A1 Deluca, Salvatore Caruso and Cynthia Smith are active mem- bers. We seniors of 151 decided to give you a preview of our pet peeves: Joanne Robello, Elvis Presley type boys; Anita D’Onifrio, moody people; Janice Baratta, nicknames given by homeroom teachers; Connie Briand, Drive-Ins; John Kappos, kneesocks. Two of our big questions are: Why is Carol Carlson so anxious to get to Law? Why Mary Jane Kelly Lingers after Special? Anybody got any answers ? Twenty-two

Room 232 is well represented at our foot- ball games. With Carol Santosuosso cheering and James Robertson wailing on his sax, Billy Flynn and Larry Webber are bound to reach the goal post. Sandra Nusenoff is striving for one hun- dred per cent class dues; working with her is her sidekick, Diane Mitchell. For some cryptic reason, Carol Caruso is cheering for Watertown High and Carol Kelly is cheering for Rindge. These questions come from the brilliant minds of those in 331. Why does Jean Mac- Donald bring Mother Goose books to school? Why is Lorraine Brierre’s main ambition to collect “Heads ? Why does Joan Gillingham want to be a plumber’s wife? We would like to acknowledge Dolores Forsberg. She has been elected junior li- brarian of the Girls’ Club. Congratulations! Hail to the two class officers in 24. They are Barbara DeWolfe, vice-president, and Judy Peters, secretary. We would like a ques- tion answered. Why does Marjorie Emeneau turn such a brilliant shade of red when a cer- tain “Space Cadet’’ enters the room? The members of 221 have compiled these statistics; Carol Royal, cutest girl; Paul Czar, cutest boy; James O’Donnell, most talkative; and Robert Kempton, class flirt. Carrying on the homeroom responsibilities of 302 are Helen Thiel and Sandra Trafi- cante, proctor and assistant proctor respec- tively. Rosalie Fundeklian and Helen Trupp are taking care to see that we graduate with money in the bank. Judging from the way he roams during special period, James Tucci will soon reach his destination, the moon. We from 31, the underground of Somer- ville High, would like to recognize the fol- lowing students for being elected in our pop- ularity polls. Robert Bruzzese, most studi- ous; Jean Boscio, most popular; Ralph Ma- harnas, most shy; Alex Marciello, most de- structive; Francine Ferretti, best dressed; Carolyn Carreiro, most talkative; and Nancy McLucas, class flirt. Why is Davy Cochran always singing “We Go Together’’ in 31? Stand By! ! ! ! ! Rocket No. 325 is blasting cff! ! ! We, piloted by Miss Lombard, hope to be the first to reach the moon. Our last minute preparations include the locking of the doors by Richard Beattiek, our “keeper of the keys’’; and the location of the bank accounts by Doris Santarlosci and Elaine Mattos, in order that a bank might be estab- lished on the moon. Looking for excitement and the unusual? Drop into 334 anytime. We guarantee that you won't leave without the desire to return. Among our dignitaries are Paul “Plaps’’ Pa- paluca, our class treasurer; and Ann Zaya and Ray Spinosa, members of the Student Council. Congratulations on your election to the office of vice-president of the junior class, Ann. There is Nancy Swett, who is the junior secretary of the Girls’ Glee Club. We also have two football players, Ray Spinosa and Jim Munrce. These lads distinguish them- selves in other ways; whistling and German respectively. We do hope that you will make the trip to enjoy the company here. The Prices? Quite reasonable, just a Stephen Skerry smile. We’re finally talked out. Come to see us again in the next issue.
