Class Prophecy On a bright and sunny afternoon in June of 1968, Earl De Rusha, now a salesman for the Atomic Hairdryer Company, entered the S S House of Beauty, owned and operated by Sheild Isham and Sandra Morace (Mrs. Robert Murphy}. As Mr. De Rusha glanced around the shop he noted Annette Boucher, a classmate in Trade High, busily engaged in beautifying her customer, Pat Bader, a profes- sional roller skating teacher. As the old‘friends gathered together, Sheila brought out a scrapbook which she and Sandy had put together since graduation in 1960. There on page one we saw an article stating ‘The Ex-President of the 1960 Trade High Senior Class, Raymond Dudek, and Ex-President of the Student Council, Sandy Gaugh, recently completed their novel entitled ‘‘Ingnorance is Bliss.’ In the lower left corner was a picture of Robert Brown who recently received the part of Tarzan in a new Live- ascope film. In another photo, Dana Tarr, an American Airlines pilot, assists Miss Diane Ferioli aboard his new jet airliner on their way to Italy, where she will introduce the new American hair style, ‘The Mars Adventure.'’ From a news clipping we see that Charles Lang now owns and operates his dream ranch which is similar to that of Father Flanagan's Boys’ Town. His chief assistant and counselor is the one and only Frank Motyl. Richard Knight completed his drag strip in the front yard of the famous movie starlet, Pat Salvatore, where he staged a motorcycle race between Robert Provencal, Kenneth Bliss and Robert Flamand, who still are the best of buddies. It seems that Bob's Indian motorcycle never did start. Here is a menu from the fabulous ‘‘Eatamore, Payamore Restaurant,’’ owned and operated by Johanna Gauthier with Don King handling the money and Tom Meade handling Don King. On a page from a clothing catalog we find Carol Tyrell is manager of the Tall Girls’ Shop on Main Street. Christine Barry and Jackie Berard opened a beauty shop and are constantly blaming each other for not knowing how fo run it. It is predicted that they will join Jeanne Allaire who opened a rest home for former Beauty Culture students where the inmate, longest in residence, is Corine Pelland wha has talked herself in and out of so many predicaments that she has lost her voice. We find Ken Kielbania, Ted Haryasz, and Jim Sullivan on the Trade Soccer Team, still trying to win the Western Mass. Soccer Championship for Uncle Ed. Joyce Pina also chose to remain at Trade High as Mrs. Doran's assistant. Joyce handles all the finances. Ron Demers has advanced from writing sports events to writing editorials for the Beaver Yearbook. Evelyn Jefferson is busily changing diapers and pushing baby carriages. She is chasing little boys now instead of big ones. Diane Donah is happily mar- ried and is encouraging her little girls to attend Trade High and become success- ful beauticians like herself. Lois Viver and her husband were elected to head the Mr. and Mrs. Club this year. Alice Broadbent was elected the Prettiest Housewife in the United States. Who's the fellow, Alice? Gino Torrette and Anthony Pagnoni are now President and Vice President of the Springfield Friendship Club for friendly bachelors. Vincent D'Ambrosia is rated high among Hollywood's ten best dressed men due to his personal fashion designers, Barbara Vezina, Carol Brace, Janet Therrien and Linda Thibodeau. Robert Bousquet has become a well known crooner and Ronald Baker, now a television announcer, is doing quite well advertising a spe- 13

Class History Looking back we have the happy and unforgettable remembrance of dan- ces, a prom, receiving our pins, and a business venture on St. Patrick's Day. We will not forget the class luncheon which further cemented ties between classmates. SENIOR YEAR Hats! Hats! Hats! And the question was, ‘Do hats make a senior?’ Well, we got our hats and we knew our big year had actually arrived. If we thought that the class had worked hard in the past, we immediately reglized that it had been a breeze compared to the duties and activities that lay ahead of us for this, our Senior Year. Our Halloween Fiesta Dance and Field Day were events wel- coming the new members at Trade High School. The Field Day was actually a giant rally to give our athletic teams a proper send-off. If one can imagine the complex arrangements that must:be made in a Se- nior Year, it seems hard to believe that our class was able to conduct the most suc- cessful dance we ever had, The Leap Year Whirl. The class took a coffee break from senior activities in the form of a class luncheon. We know that the connois- seurs of the class will have a special place in their hearts for Miss Gilson and her group. Perhaps we of the Senior Class will find it difficult to sum up the fond memories that we gained in '59 and '60. Those memories will be blurred by the turmoil created by the necessity to pay dues, pose for and order pictures, be fitted for caps and gowns, endless preparation for year book and class day, breath- less plans for our prom, banquet and graduation. However, the authors of this history feel certain that when we call upon these memories in future days that all the previous class labors will appear to us, not as work, but as joyful experiences that have all the meaning of fun and happiness for the class of 1960.

‘Gee Prophecy cial hair tonic and anti-blush lotion for men. Billy Fernandez is playing the bongo drums and Bob Table is reading poetry for entertainment at a small beatnik pad in Greenwich Village. Edward Mucha is an experienced judge interviewing con- testants for the title of Miss America. John Castor is slowly rising in the political world, making dough. From the sports page, Richard Grabowski and Bob Tibbits are now in charge of all the athletic fields in Springfield. Wonder where they got all their ex- perience? Speaking of athletes, Raymond Bourbeau and Allen Rice are running around the country trying to keep up with their hat and coat checking service. An- other athlete, Pat Coviello, is operating a swimming school in Marineland, Flor- ida. If you want to find him, look for the third whale on the right. Still two more athletes who achieved recent sports fame are Fred Bayman and Charles Kalis who recently received gold time cards for being the fastest men out of work at five o'clock. In the business world, Tom Foley and Carl Ward are printing confederate money for John Alaimo, Henry Ross and Charles Church to sell back to the U. S. Government. Mary Connelly tried to spend some of this money at the Trade High store but was apprehended by the emminent dectectives, Don Hatzepietro and Charlotte McCray, Police woman. Out of the comic strip, comes Roger Poulin still wearing his 1960 senior hat and repeating over and over, ‘| didn't spend that $1.25 for nothing.’ Class treasurer Ann Cuzzone is sitting in front of Trade High counting her easily ac- quired million whereas, Peggy Colapietro is working for her one in a million, as private manacurist to the American Embassador to Poland, Pete Siuda. This is our prophecy as you can see, but writers, Morace and Isham will never be. Sheila Isham Sandra Morace
