If you like to laugh (and who doesn’t) come to room 350 during special! Mr. Berra, our jolly homeroom teacher, will meet you at the door. Geraldine Amodeo and Louise Corkum will supply you with a laughing pill, and will see that you take it, too! While you’re visting us, you may be able to help us answer these questions: Is Joanne Pullo really allergic to Spanish verbs? And does Joseph Plaza wish he’d joined the track team? (The 8:30 bell waits for no one, Joe!) For the past eight years Room 106 has had an all-male slate of officers. This year there has been a change; the girls have taken over! Our new female officers are: Inez Greco, proctor, Joyce Andelman, assistant proctor, and car check representative; Sandra Anastas and Catherine Daley, bank treas- urers; and Eileen Ahern, bulletin reader. 247 is proud to claim a member of the foot- ball team. He is Harry Cohen. Some celebrities from 349 are: proctor, Judith Kennedy; bank treasurers, Arlene Borghi and Marilyn Marino; and Red Cross Representative, Eleanor Avedisian. The cool teens of 113 extend their con- gratulations to Ellen Spiro, who has been chosen as a cheerleader. Wanted: A watch dog to keep us cool, but hungry, teens from eating our lunches dur- ing “special.” The representatives in 109 are: proctor, Sandra Byrd; assistant proctor, Micheline Amaral; treasurers, Steven Collins and Harold Briscoe. Among the 30 pupils in 204 are three ce- lebrities. The first is Ann Cecchi, a cheer- leader. The other two seem to be home-grown products; they are “Dimps” Monti, known far and wide for his dimples; and Leonard Chardo, the class “Romeo.” The favorite tune in 343 is entitled “After the Failure Slips Have Been Passed Out.” Our all-girl homeroom wishes to announce that any stray boys in the vicinity of 249 are VERY welcome to come in and visit. As the SHS Streamliner 210 cruises by, we catch a glimpse of the popular captain, Louise Camelio; first mate, Karen Santor, the prettiest girl; and second mate Robert Brienze, the handsomest boy. As she lists toward starboard we see Leonard Spiers with his tuba entertaining Rose Gregorio, and Ralph Gentile, the most smartly dressed passengers. The students of room 209 wish to thank their class proctors, Louise Price and Maria Pellegrino, and their bankers, Carol Chicca- riello and Joan Bickford for doing the splen- did job of emptying their classmates’ pockets of their well-earned funds. “The gang in 105 is really alive; we’re smarties by the score. So lend your ears and you will hear some of this reporters’ lore. Our girls might make a baseball nine, with thirty umpires to rule the line. Our Sandy Davidson gives a cheer. At all the games she’s the one you hear. Warren and John are in the band. Give those boys a great big hand. Sandra from Sherwood decides your fate. Stay on her side in a debate.” Room 352 claims one of the quietest proc- tors ever, Donald Bailey. He is assisted by a future Annapolis man, Kenny Green. We hope our patrol boys, Eddie Davidson and Michael Aeseto keep their directions straight. Everyone is anxious to see if Carole Long- more will be a clever class treasurer. We know that Donna Cianelli, pianist and Ellen Kelly, performer on Talent Night, are assets to the music department. The Hoola-Hoop Contest in room 344 was a howling success. Results: Barbara Stutel- laro, won with 600 swivels! The runners-up were Barbara DiPalma and Joan Lungo with 499 each. Any challengers? Last, but not least, some pearls of wisdom from 110. Carol Zammarchi was the lucky (turn to page 35) Twenty-five

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.

Haven't You Met ? ALBERT BOWEN ’59 If you haven’t met Albert Bowen, you must be new at SHS. A1 is treasurer of the Student Council and is in the National Honor Society. Last year, as a member of the Good Gov- ernment Group, he represented our school at Canton High. He also attended the simulated United Nations assembly at Harvard and the Civil Education Conference at Tufts. On May 1, when the Teen Citizens’ Administration as- sumed offices of the city government, A1 served as Recreation Commissioner. In his spare time A1 likes to eat spaghetti, roast beef, and strawberry pie. His favorite sports include skiing and bowling. Wonder why his bowling average is a deep, dark secret ? Contrary to rumor, A1 does not wear knick- ers to school They were merely part of a cos- tume for the Players’ Club presentation of “The Barretts of Wimpole Street.’’ It might interest all 5'4 girls with blue eyes and short brown hair, to know that he likes saques and chemise dresses. Alx ve all, this girl must love to dance. These are Al’s specifications for his dream girl. Future plans include Tufts Pre-Med and Medical Schools, with hope of becoming a gen- eral practitioner. Success to you in your chosen profession, Al. GERALDINE DiBONA ’59 Did you say you haven’t met Geraldine DiBona? Well, it’s about time you did. Gerry is a member of the Glee Club, Portia, Players’ Club, Good Government, and the Teen Age Citizen Administration; but most of us know her as one of Somerville’s most en- thusastic former cheerleaders. Gerry is 5'3 tall, brunette, with brown eyes, and a friendly smile for all who meet her. She loves to eat, and her favorite food is fried clams. As for entertainment, she loves to cha-cha and watch baseball games. Her favorite music is jazz and she prefers “The Freshmen” as her singing group. With all these favorites, she does, however, have a pet peeve—the New York Yankees. To describe her ideal male, she says he would have to be a Harvard student, about 6 feet tall with a brown crewcut and green eyes. (Wonder if her brother Don forced her to mention this!) Whenever there is to be a dance, they al- ways depend on Gerry to get a D. J. (That’s why we see so much of Dave Maynard at Somerville High.) Gerry plans to make dress-designing her career. With her personality, ambition, and charm, she is sure to succeed in reaching her goal. Twenty-six
