531 S( eso jin fflemmiam Robert A. Radochia June 5, 1961 For most juniors and seniors the mere men- tion of Mr. Radochia recalls a wonderful man, but there are many sophomores who haven't heard of him. Robert A. Radochia, who re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts decree at Boston College and his Master of Arts degree at Tufts College, had been in the Somerville school system since 1936. He was the head of the General Course at Somerville High School from 1946 until his death on June 5, 1961. Mr. Radochia was very devoted to his Gen- eral Course pupils. Through his efforts an award was presented to the outstanding Gen- eral Course student of the class of '61. After his tragic passing, a group of close friends among the faculty and students suggested the idea of continuing the presentation of an award in his memory. In essence, if the Col- lege or Business Courses have scholarships and awards, why not recognize the work done in the General Course? This would promote better work and put more significance on the course. The possibility of a dance as a fund- raising means was met with approval and the date, December 1, was set. The price for this dance will be seventy-five cents (eighty-five cents at the door), and the proceeds will go towards this award and scholarship fund. Even if you are not eligible, it will be an enjoyable evening and you will be helping a good cause. One must admit that he did a lot for Somerville High School. So let’s see you December 1, at the Robert A. Radochia Memorial Fund Dance. COLUMBUS DAY, 1961 On October 12, the World Affairs Council of Boston presented A Conference on Inter- national Careers with the theme “The World of the Sixties and You’’ on the Babson Insti- tute Campus at Wellesley. Fifty-five partici- pating schools from Northfield to Falmouth sent six hundred and thirty-three students. The famous anthropologist Dr. Margaret Mead stimulated the audience with her vivid comments on “The Post-Atomic Generation.” Professor Raymond Vernon of Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration explained an important problem, “Tomor- row’s Economics and Your Pocketbook.” After lunch and a tour of the campus, con- current seminar groups on International Ca- reers included: Business Careers Abroad, Journalism and Communications, Govern- ment Service Abroad, Education and Teach- ing Abroad, The Peace Corps. The thought must have occurred to many that the New World discovered by Columbus almost five-hundred years ago is now on its own voyage of discovery, into remote parts of the world seeking new horizons and into Thre JAN 3 '63

space, fearful of terrors just as real to the imagination as those experienced by people of the fifteenth century who believed that the earth was flat. Students representing our school were: Ann Maclsaac, Joyce Lodico, and Joyce Ca- tanzano. Faculty members attending were: Miss Ilene Ritchie, Miss Katherine Kennedy, Miss Katherine Lombard, and Miss Olive MacPherson. “BREAKFAST’S READY” The New England Dairy Council invited school editors to Breakfast at the Boston Club, Beacon Street, Boston, on October 17. The beautiful old mansion was once the town house of Eben Jordan, founder of Jor- dan Marsh Co. and is being made into a dis- tinctive public restaurant, featuring cuisine from all parts of the world. It will be known as “Tiffany’s.” And so, our student editor Ann Maclsaac had Breakfast at Tiffany’s while the juniors were working away at school on the important PSAT examination. An attractive buffet of hors d’oeuvres was set in the walnut-paneled, crystal-chande- liered dining room of the club. Someone ex- claimed, “Hors d’oeuvres for breakfast! What next?” And, that was just the point. Va- riety can lend zest to the morning meal. Silver bowls of apple wedges, fresh pine- apple cubes, and banana chunks were served with “dips” of toasted coconut, honey-nut cream cheese, and pineapple sour cream. The editors then sat down at tables for the main dish of French-Toasted Canadian Ba- con and Cheese Sandwiches with Grilled To- mato Garnish. The cereal course was presented as a des- sert of Hot Indian Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. Milk and Coffee-Ana were the bev- erages. Girls are usually interested in recipes, so here is the one for Coffee-Ana: Beat or blend these ingredients and serve cold. It makes 7 cup-servings. 1 quart milk 2 cups mashed banana Ann Moclsooc ond Louise Mozyck 4 teaspoons sugar 1 tablespoon of instant coffee t z teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract All the guests agreed that breakfast can be the best meal of the day, and can make a grin out of a grouch. The panel speakers included a beautiful model, Sylvia Gustavson, “Miss New Eng- land of 1961”; Jack Kirrane, captain of the 1960 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, and Dr. J. Rosvell Gallagher, Chief of the Adolescent Unit of the Children’s Medical Center. This discussion concerned the relationship of good nutrition to physical fitness. The Girl and Her Figure and the Boy and His Physique are developed and maintained by food and exercise. Energy and general appearance are conditioned by what they eat or do not eat. PORTIA The Portia Debating Society, which meets on Tuesday in room 29 at 2:05, has elected the following student officers; President, Elaine Vergani; Vice-President, Carol Ric- cardi; Secretary, Mary Donahue; Treasurer, Joyce Lodico; Student Council Representa- tive Dianne Velardi. Miss Marjorie O’Brien supervises the club’s activities consisting of debates, panel discussions, and buzz-groups.
