SENIOR CLASS CHATTER Greetings from room 254! We recently elected our room treasurers, Agnes Healy and Susanne Grassia. Here are a few thoughts to ponder: Why do you suppose Carol Rigazio was one of the first to get Pre-Driving? Why did the “eyewitnesses” Frank Cafarella. Bon- nie Tuccelli. and Robert Drinkwater, take a trip to the police station? And also, who hates to get up early in the morning and doesn’t? If anyone knows the answers to these ques- tions, please leave them at room 149: What do Mary O’Connor and Lorraine Rutkowski find so interesting during fourth period? Is Carol Frizzell always the first one to reach the lunch room ? Who’s this mysterious Larry M. that all the girls are crazy about? Why are Edda DiGiovini and John Cabral so quiet? Welcome to room 151 for another exciting and prosperous year. We are very proud to have that outstanding soloist, Maryelaina Altomare, as a member of our class. Ques- tions: What boy will claim that deep, mys- terious voice that is heard in 151? We are happy to report that once again room 151 will be 100' in banking. This is 247 signing in to say that our cozy senior classroom is very proud of its occu- pants, especially its new proctor Theodore (Teddy) Spinos and his assistant, Shirley Swett. Scattered throughout our population are those “muscle men,” Phil McAdam, Rob- ert Silver, and Armand Boyajian; that noted orator Evelyn Malven; that historic “ice cube” Nancy Mercer; and that cross-country alley-camper Carl Meola. Our representative and vice-president of the Art Club is viva- cious Sandra Tsei who, for some unknown reason, has developed a liking for “letters.” Susan Catharin, elected president of the F. N. A., can be counted among our noses along with Leonard Parker, a member of the foot- ball squad. Welcome to 141! We are proud to announce that we have as members of our class, Cap- tains Herbert Serpa and Robert Taylor of the football team. Another member of the team is Robert Hurynowicz. We have elected as class treasurers, Alice Doyon and Mary Ann Gelormini. Some of the kids in 141 would like to know who is the mysterious “Rubber Legs.” If you know, please let us know? We’ll report more about the talents and mysteries of our class in the next issue. A cheery bell from 251. As this our final year oi ens, we wish to extend a hearty wel- come to this year’s sophomores. Leading our happy group is Maurene Martin propped up by several pillows at the wheel of one of the Pre-driving cars. Says Maurene, “It’s easy. I know how to start and stop perfectly; I have a little trouble with the corners, but as soon as I learn to steer, I’ll be fine.” Pam Haskell isn’t too far behind . . . did you ever try going forward in reverse? Well, an in- tersection is drawing near and we must make a right turn. See you in the next issue. Welcome to 252, the “home of champions.” We have Eddie Harrington, Walter Ross, and Chucky Shepherd, three of our famous foot- ball players. Then we have that brilliant cap- tain of our basketball team. Jimmy Lally with Eddie Harrington who is also a basketball star. Next is Jimmy Quinn, the captain of our hockey team. Then we have Jackie Moun- Elevcn

capped his performance with a ninety-seven yard run for the TD. Ed Stackelski saved Somerville from another shutout by scoring in the first half. Final score—Everett 50, Somerville 6. MALDEN Again a familiar rival whopped the Red and Blue, after a very close first half in which the only points scored were on an eleven-yard touchdown pass to Frank Crotty from Bob Taylor. The second half was the ruination of Somerville High. We did nothing right and they nothing wrong. Malden proceeded to score four touchdowns and six extra points, rolling over the Somerville line and winning 30-6. CROSS COUNTRY This year our cross country team is led by Junior Donald Portanova. Mr. Hegarty and Mr. Hrubi are the coaches of our team. BOSTON COLLEGE Somerville lost the first meet of the season to Boston College High by the score of 35-22. Donald Portanova finished in second place behind Mowvar of BCII. RINDGE In the second meet of the young season, the Red and Blue runners again were de- feated by the score of 34-21.

Don Portanova again captured first place in the two and three-fourths race. CAMBRIDGE LATIN In their fourth meet the Somerville run- ners were again defeated, this time by the score of 31-26. Don Portanova finished first in a very close meet. BROOKLINE Somerville lost their final meet of the sea- son by the score of 36-23. Don Portanova fin- ished in first place in a winning time of 12 minutes and 58 seconds, his fastest time dur- ing the year. CHAMPIONSHIP MEET Donald Portanova finished second in this big meet. The runner who beat Don was the same runner who beat him in the first game of the season. Mowvar is the name of the runner who was the only person to beat our runner. Ed.

tain, “Miss Holman’s pet” who is one of our valuable baseball players. Our proctors are Judy Knight and Eddie Harrington. Our money grabbers are Kathy Culverhouse and Elinor McLaughlin. So there you have our caravan of stars. We, in 152 are glad to welcome all the soph- omores of S.H.S. We have a few problems. Can you help us with them? Who does Cathy M. meet in the hall during the break? Why is Sue referred to as Johnny Reb? Room 150 is a little worried about our foot- ball team. We would like to give Edward Stachelski a hand for getting on the team and scoring two touchdowns, one of which was against Everett. If you know the answers to these questions, drop them into 150. What do the girls in the back of the room talk about? Who is Edward Curran making eyes at? Who’s going to ask whom to the prom? Why is Mary Nutt always so anxious to talk to the girls? Why is Patricia Ricci the first to dash out at 2:00 o’clock? Well, until the next edition Study hard. Room 154 would like to introduce some of its intelligent??? members. First there is Sheila McDonnell and Judy Oliverio, the bank treasurers. Diane Mills is the Junior Red Cross Representative, and James O’Connor was elected to the position of class proctor. What’s up between Barbara Newell and Rob- ert Sordillo? His eyes are always shining when she walks into view. David Campbell had better stay away from Richard’s; he is getting too fat. Charles Brawley and Paul Cursino are on the student patrol. Why does Arthur Sullivan have a broken heart? See you next issue with election results. Greetings from 250, direct news brought to you direct from the lion’s den. We are proud to say we have two cheerleaders in our midst, Peggy Rimkus and Audrey Peak. Congratu- lations girls!

The following were chosen: Proctor, Mary Auito; Class Treasurers, Joyce Jansen and Peggy Rimkus; Red Cross Representative, Rosemarie Srev- neck. Well it’s that time again! Time for us to leave our summer oasis of fun and leisure and fall back into our tormented little worlds of books, poetry, and other art forms long since abandoned by man. Yet, room 147, amid moaning and groaning (due to exces- sive homework) has opened its doors of learn- ing. We have the reigning triumvirate Joyce Lodico, proctor; Diana DiRusso, treasurer and Red Cross representative; and Loretta Comeau, Radiator Reporter. They are sup- ported in their attempt to run the class by ready and able glee club officers Pamela Kneeland, President of Girls’ Glee Club; Joyce Lodico, vice-president; and Ann Mac- Isaac, secretary. Athletic support emanates from football Co-captain, Dean Mottard; guard, Michael Nissenbaum; and cheerlead- ers, Susan Pescatore, Carol Riccardi, and Ix retta Comeau. We issue fair warning that Mary Donahue, Joyce Catanzano, Diana DiRusso, and Lor- etta Comeau are on the road. Who knows ... Pre-driving may now come to an end at Som- erville High School!

So, until this reporter reports that she has recuperated from reporting this report, she will not be able to report the report for the next issue. Hello from 102. To start off, our biggest chatter boxes are Carol Powers and Sandra Coyle. Who's the boy Miss Connolly is always chasing away from our homeroom—could he be waiting for a girl named Margie? And Twelve
