In gratitude for his deep interest and his kindness toward others; in appreciation of the services rendered to the community, and in admiration for his sincerity, we the Class of 1947, dedicate this year book to the memory of Albert W. Albertson, a faithful member and President of the Board of Education for many years. “Sometimes, ’mid shifting sands and ebbing tides, A lovely pearl in the bright sunlight glows, And then the restless waves of surging seas roll in And all the wondrous beauty there Too soon becomes a memory. “Sometimes in life, a peerless man appears, Whose heart o’erflows with service to mankind; And though he leaves in his summer years, That faithful soul’s rare goodness ever shines To brighten that of all the world — and mine.” — Author unknown Used January 23, 1947 as a tribute to Albert Albertson By Rev. John Merwin.

Foreword The Time Today ..................... June 23, 1960 The Place ............... Madison Square Garden The Girl ..... Berneice Grathwohl, Sr. Class of ’47 This is station WSHS — in exactly three seconds it will be 2:00 p. m. by Walt Adam Watch time, a guaranteed watch of distinctive accuracy. This is Berneice Grathwohl speaking to you from Madison Square Garden, where today is being held the Atomic Exposition financed by Arthur J. Grattan, well-to-do owner of the Stymie Coffee Company. . . . Before I continue, a few words from our sponsor. . . . “Have you tried Sally’s Pork Chops If you want something delicious — try them with stew!” . . . This is Berneice again. The Garden is jammed with people from all over the world. Why there’s Frank Diller, owner of Sweet Genevieve, this season’s winner of the nation’s three top races; and his equally famous jockey, “Poncho” Pontino They are walking with Bob Baker, proprietor of the Brown Fedora, an exclusive rendezvous. Bob is accompanied by Miss Barbara Silleck, B. S., M. A., Dean of Women at Rider College. Nearby I see Raymond Kos and Pete Fisher, undoubtedly discussing their recent literary works. Ray is known for his comic strip, “Meathook Carmichael, Pilot Extraordinary”, and Pete is the author of the current best seller on the non-fiction list, “Why Hens Lay Eggs”. Elaine Dries, head typist for the Long Island Echo, is seen with them as she gets Ray’s comic strip for the Sunday paper. Elaine’s hair as styled by Mme. Jeanne Marie Car-roll Bonnet, is very becoming. Mme. Bonnet is the prominent hair stylist of New York and Paris. James Kane, Dean of Vassar College, and Mrs. Kane flew down from their spacious estate designed by William Borkowski, plumber, air-conditioner, and architect. The Kanes are seen with “Co” Glover, president of Fan Clubs United, and Peggy Horton, a well-known model for nail polish ads. Among the representatives from Hollywood are Harlan Chase, movie photographer for RKO Pathe News, and Ty Kent, ravishing red-headed beauty of Paramount Studios. Miss Kent is attired in a striking ensemble of forest green designed by the foremost designer of women’s fashions, Marilyn Miller. Ty is with Ed Lademann, known as the “Bogart of the fifties”. In the far corner I can see Robert Goldsmith, American Ambassador to France, and Secretary of Labor, Josephine Terp evidently amused by some cartoon in the Long Island Echo. Jean Newbold, Republican majority leader of the House, has just joined them. At the rear I can just make out “Hymer” Shalvey directing the unloading of his new atomic pea picker brought here for the exposition. Ray Annabel is nearby with his atomic orange squeezer which has been acclaimed nation-wide fame. Both of these inventions are being unloaded from the Thrifty Truck Lines, owned and operated by Dick Youngs. Incidentally Harold Young is discussing Hymer’s invention with him. Since Harold is farming so much land in Southold it should be of use to him. The program seems about to commence. There goes Ira Tuthill hurrying in order to get a seat. Ira, I believe, has just returned from Alaska where he had been extremely successful mining. I can’t quite see near whom he is sitting .... Why it’s Donald Young and Helen Stankewicz, known to most of us as Mibber FeGee and Polly. This comedy team has soared to stardom. At the sound of a rather loud laugh right behind them they turn around to see Helene Jordan, star of the current Broadway musical, “Keep ’Em Roarin’ Everyone is standing now for the singing of our national anthem. It is being sung as a duet by Clo Karsten and Ada Payne, famous opera stars. Clo is known particularly for her performances in “Carmen” and Ada for her lead in “La Traviata”. The main speaker of the day is Gerry Rafford, president of the International Plumbers’ Association. His topic is “How Atomic Energy Affects Sink Pipes”. What’s this I see — Chucksy Gagen, Dodger short stop, is carrying out Ty Kent who has evidently fainted. Dr. Cathleen Doroski and her assistant, Marge McCaffery, R. N., are following close behind. I think Chucksy has arranged for a special plane to fly him to St. Louis, where the Dodgers have a night game scheduled. Harold Walters is seen talking with Lord and Lady Cavendish. Lady Cavendish is the former Virginia Lytle. For the past year Harold has been lecturing about the country on the subject “Why Janitors Should Unite”. Since Harold has left SHS he has been supervising janitor at the Brown Fedora. Incidentally Bake’s Brown Fedora was designed and decorated by Emily Kaelin and Barbara Grathwohl, interior decorators of outstanding recognition. They are here today with Barbara Dickerson, dressmaker for the President’s and statesmen’s wives. Gerry has just finished speaking and Redden’s “Daring Maidens”, of local fame, are ready to play a few numbers. Joan Redden, the country’s leading cornetist, is the leader of the band and Joan Albertson, who has converted from classical music to the more modern type, is at the piano. Clem Charnews, leader of the cowboy band that plays on WSHS on Saturday nights, is seen talking with Charlie Carlson, Champion autoracer of the country. . . . The announcement has just been made that a light luncheon will be served at $1 per plate at the Walled-off-Historia. Nancy Horton, dietician of that hotel, has planned the meal with the help of her able assistants, Theresa Gaffga and Marian Woloskiewicz. They have informed us that they owe a lot of their success to Charles McAslan’s atomic clam five
