Nothing is certain yet, but I’ve heard rumors that theirs is the newest romance in Holly- wood. With them | see James Shaver who has sung his way to birdland. Pulling in beside me now in their new model-T Ford are Bill Mid- wood and Richard Skinner, two new teachers who are replacing Mr. Plumb and Mr. Dreyer. (Do you think they'll do the job?) Stanley Miarecki, now a Bradway star, has just gone by talking with Richard Stejna who has his own television show. Here comes that famous printer, Rita Hanley. | hear that she has a new job, print- ing the menus for all the cooks in the lunch room. Right behind her are Jackie Gerow, Brenda Brown, Lorraine De Gray, and Rosalie Meade. They just arrived in a taxi from the railroad station after a trip to New York where they attended a hairdressers’ convention. I'm glad they were able to get back. | didn't think they would make it. We have to shut the doors now, for it is time to go to hear that Noble Price Winner, Francis Hutcheons, deliver his speech. Yours truly The Doorman Emily Galarneau Mary Fratini

CLASS PRUPHECY Dear Fifty-eighters: It is June 12, 1978. | am the door at- tendant at the reunion of the class of 1958. Twenty years ago tonight we graduated from that beautiful popular school, Trade High. It was a sad day indeed for our faithful teach- ers, friends, and beloved principal. We dread- ed leaving, but the time had come. Even our class advisers, who loved every last one of us (even if some didn't get to pay that last dollar on their dues), were weeping bitterly be- cause of our departure. | am standing outside the door of our new auditorium, which, as we all know was do- nated by Richard Robinson. He surely was a jolly little fellow away back in '58. Even then we knew that he would make good in future years. 1! can still remember the time he had to stand on a little stool to reach the micro- phone to give a speech. As | lift my brow, | 1 tice a shiny, black car arriving. This is not just any car, but a car in the shape of a football. As the door opens, none other than Carl Tyburski emerges. He is immediately surrounded by swoodles of girls trying to get his autograph. He is now a quarterback with the Chicago Bears. Harvey Bates, a gentleman from a top newspaper, steps up to ask Carl a question, ‘‘How are Jackie Mezzetti, Willard West, William Wil- liams, and Gary Kelly doing at Beartown?’’ Carl's reply is brief, but as he goes by, he assures me that they are the best hot dog sellers he has ever hired. As for Leonard Grundstrom, Carl tells me that he is still trying to make a touchdown with ‘You Know Who’; Just arriving is Dorothy Ptaskiewicz, the outstanding fashion designer of the country. She has recently finished making an exclusive suit for Miss Patricia Stejna, who has been voted the best dressed woman in the United States. | think Pat is still trying to shoot the breeze with Ezra Mattson. Someone is now being wheeled in on a portable bed. Who is it? That old sleepy head, ‘Donald Pottern, who is still taking his twenty- four hour naps! Richard Perkins, who is president of the Mickey Mouse Club, tells me that William Wise and Bob Ledger have become two famous disc-jockeys in New York. They are appearing on his show to introduce the latest Mickey Mouse record. Wow! Here comes a green limousine. Stepping out is Mary Fratini, now Miss Uni- verse. She has just rocketed back from the moon to make her attendance at our reunion possible. The newspapermen, Joe Lanzillo, David Trites, and Harold Davis, are shocked to see Hubert D'Ambrosia, a top Hollywood star who has just finished his latest picture, “An Affair Not Forgotten'’ escorting Miss Uri- verse out of the car. The question now is, How long has this been going on? The answer’ Nobody Knows. The traffic here is terriffic. Charles Jordan William Anderson, Theodore Tessier, and Ken- neth Pease are equal to it, however, they are still faithful to the old traffic squad. To save time they are having four cars come down at once in a two lane district. Melvin Hartley, the wealthiest, most el- igible bachelor in the country, is now ap- proaching with two debutantes, Miss Jo-Ann Supinski and Miss Cynthia Toulson, one on each arm. Melsa Choquette and Lorraine Rock have just informed me that Beverly Ehlers wiil not be able to make it tonight. She is at home practicing a new way of chewing gum with- out making her jaws go up and down. In a cloud of dust | see George Marceau and Larry Yensen coming—riding their yel- low and blue bicycles to this very important reunion. They are the city’s racketeers in the bicycle business. And who's that chasing them on his bicycle? Why, it's—no, it can't be! But it is! It’s that cool daddy, Robert Griffin. Here comes glamorus Eleanor Gallerani. Ruth Williams and Priscilla Bard are fussing with her hair and giving her, her last minute touch-ups. She tosses them a five spot and tells them to run along and attend her beauty salon. John Fratini and Bob Morrissey stopped a minute when they were going in to tell me that they have made some fast money by in- venting a sound proof bell. Even principals can't hear it. Who's this coming now? Pat Gilbert, of all people, and she’s still holding hands with Ernie Lambach! Tagging behind are Harriet Nickolaides and Janet Zguro, two tycoons in the bakery business. They tell me that they still like pastries. Johnny Spear has won a new set of drum sticks for his outstanding performance on the Ted Mack show. Johnny tells me that Teddy Nowak still plays his lively music at Polish weddings. Walking toward me now are the Big Four, Charles Heath, Richard Huhtanen, Alfred Ma- gee, and Gerald Crapser. They are singing, if it can be called singing, ‘‘The Lonesome Four.” Some Hollywood stars have just arrived. In the group | can pick out Bob Hill and Emily Galarneau followed by ten poodles. They have just finished a movie in South America.

Class Will THE WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1958 We, the senior class of 1958 and soon-to-be graduates of Trade High School, being of sound body and mind do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: TO MISS MEZZACAPPA AND MR. BRESNAHAN, our advisiors, we should like to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude for the help and guid- ance they have given us and our sincere sympathy for the trouble they have faced in steering our class through successful junior and senior years. May they be blessed in their chosen profession. TO THE PRINCIPALS AND FACULTY OF TRADE HIGH SCHOOL, we leave our sincere thanks, for their patience and ‘understanding, their inspiration and encourage’ vent, and their kind efforts and help, all that we have needed to achieve our goal. TO THE CLASSES OF 1959, 1960, AND 1961 we leave our best wishes for their success and happiness during their years at Trade. THE NEEDLE TRADE SENIORS happily bequeath to their junior classmates the privilege of picking up pins in room 326. FRAN HUTCHEONS consoles Mr. Fitzgibbons with the assurance that he will be back at Trade some day TEACHING, TO ANY ONE WHO GETS HUNGRY and wants to eat his lunch early, Terrence Kappenman wills the dark room in the Print Shop. He recommends its seclusion.. MISS BAWN'’S SENIORS leave her fifty-five cents so that at least one of her dollars will have its full value. They trust that she will use the sum wisely —possibly for telephone calls to her stock broker. ELEANOR GALLERANI bequeaths to the secretary of the class of '59 her note- book and a supply of pencils. TO MR. MANITSAS his students leave a fund to be exclusively for the purchase of yoyos. To keep alive his memories of his ‘class of ‘59 there will be delivered to him herewith one yoyo autographed by members of the 12-2 division. FOR MRS. TRIGGS AND MR. FITZGIBBONS, advisiors of the class of '59, we have purchased 360 tranquilizer pills. We recommend that they each take one every school day next year. GERALD CRAPSER leaves his '49 Ford to Trade High School with one stipulation: it must be used for training purposes.
