SEN IORS A Long Range Forecast , Behind the editor's desk of that great syndicate newspaper, The Trafford Tattler, sits our dear old friend Guppy. His hair has thinned out, and his figure is not so dashing as it once used to be, but that twinkle in his eye when he smiles suggests that he still is as fond of mischief as he was many yeais ago at T.H.S. He glances at the calendar to reassure himself that this is the day. May 27, 1957--How many changes can fifteen years make? he asks himself. Back in 1942 when he, with seventy-odd other Seniors, graduated from T.H.S., it was agreed that on this date, each one would send a report of his achievements direct to The Trafford Tattler . From these reports a special paper would be printed and a copy sent to each contributor. And now, the day has come! He presses one of the many buzzers on his desk and in an instant his secretary, Helen Zigarovich, enters laden with letters, papers and pencils. Being a 42 graduate herself, she realizes the tremendous im- portance of this occasion and has already taken time to begin the list. Under her own name and Guppy's we find that of James Jenets, President of the Sixteenth 9 f Nba Rife's Recipes from the Old South, and Francis Murray and Walter Scanlon's column The Seattle Cherry-go-Round' . We mustn't overlook Bob Corcoran and Betty Jones, who have originated that new comic strip Betty Petty using Barbara Balkovic and Lois Schaffer as models. Then we have the local beauty parlor owned by Adeline Czapor with the famous John Kellar as hair stylist and Mary Jane Pringle, Jane Crandall, Krcelic, and Anna Lubanovich as operators. We might add that Frank Grbinich, manager of Trot- zer's Department Store, and Charles Wanner, manufacturer of noiseless alarm clocks, receive their weekly manicure here. Now we come to our three sets of brothers. The Folino Brothers producers on Broadway with their leading ladies, Marie Chappetti, and Margaret Burnett, their leading men, Glenn Shoppe and Lester Lutz, not for- getting to mention their songwrit- er, John Vaccarro, and stage hands, Steve Mikach and George Rantovich are up to their necks in a bitter feud with the Turchan Brothers, producers of Amalga- mated Pictures with their stars 1 Mary Carroll, Anna Stakor, Albert I f 1,- I ' A National Bank, and Catherine Wandless, his secretary. Following them we find several representatives of the local alumnae of 42 at the Harris Hospital, so called because Betty Harris, world famous mezzo soprano, and john Harris, famous orchestra leader, wishing to immortalize their name, donated the funds to build it. Those at the hospital are Emma Jean Cartwright, superintendent of Nurses Edwin Bandy, famous photographer, who is being re-operated on by Staff Surgeon Dr. John Bucar because Nurse Marion- Kerrigan has misplaced her chewing gum, and society matrons Jane Feigert and Dorothy Dubrave, overstaying cases of mumps and measles respectively, so they might be near the handsome doctors, Joseph Lenhart and John Lovre. There are also quite a few doing work with The Trafford Tattler itself. Here we find Sophie Shurmatz, writing the famous Advice to the Lovelorn , Bill Fleming's column on You Are What You Eat, combined with Dorothy Mae Josephic, and Edward Lawrence. Here we have our famous character Ivan Roackage, who is a prodigy of Orson Welles. Standing calmly by, supposedly neutral in this feud, we find the Grande Brothers, own- ers of the great network, T.H.S. They have just begun a new show entitled Gunman's Moll starring Max Dorosa and Anne Radosh with a supporting cast consisting of those veterans of stage and screen, George Myers and Frank Dra- gisic. This blood-curdling drama is sponsored by Donald Leffier, manufacturer of Tinker Toys for Youngsters. George Jonlia is responsible for testing each of these toys before they leave the factory. Ineidentally, it is rumored that Betty Zeravica and her dancing trio including Virginia Patika, Mary Kasonovich, and Kathryn Ivicak are touring Army Camps in one of Gwen Gethiri's Black- poodle busses. Guppy received a few reports from Elaine Mc- Indoe and Betty Brezovic, who are stewardesses Continued on Page 58 19 The Reflector

CLASS OF 1943 It's Our Tum Next Guppy, meet your successors. These Juniors will step into your shoes next September. Perhaps you remember them as freshmen. It was their first year on the upper floor and everything was unfamiliar. They missed Miss Barr and Mr. Shank. Why, geography and literature weren't even on the schedule. How- ever, they soon grew accustomed to the new routine and elected class officers. They were: Joan Welsh, president, who had the immense task of doing nothingg Edward Magusiak, vice president, dittog Adeline Bray, secretary, and Charles Baird, treasurer. He collected enough dues to finance two parties. Everyone spent three restless hours at each party, and then went home dissatisfied with the favors, as usual. One day, months before May, ballots were distributed for the purpose of electing May Queen attendants. The freshmen very wisely decided on Adeline Bray and Marguerite Smith. To celebrate their graduation to the sophomore class, all of the freshmen got dizzy riding the Racer at the annual picnic at Kennywood Park. And then their second year at high school. Remember, Guppy? The first few days were spent in the woods killing most of the trees in order to get a few more leaves for Biology note-books. You did the same thing a year before, Guppy. This was a year to remember. The year the Academic students were introduced to Caesar, the year the Commercial learned to pound out words on a typewriter, and this was the year Emma jean and George discovered each other. This year for class officers they elceted Edith Giacomin, presidentg Anna- belle Zuback, vice-presidentg Helen Zyhowski, secretaryg and Kathryn Hauth, treasurer. Naturally these officers wouldn't break any old traditions by working, so their terms passed uneventfully, except for the two parties at which everyone had so much fun?? Another May Day and the sophomores chose two lovely brunettes, Kathryn Hauth and LaVerne Mertz. The closing months of school brought on the usual restlessness and spring fever, and the usual picnic at Kenny- wood Park. Then, on an important day in May, the sophomores became upper- classmen. As Juniors they took on an important task. This year they were at work for the Junior-Senior Prom, which is held for you, Guppy, and the other Seniors. To help their finances, of which they had everything but, they sold salt water taffy. Prizes for selling the most taffy were given to several junior girls, who probably never want to see another piece of salt water taffy again. The class officers were elected, to wit: james Masteranna, president, Edward Capets, vice presidentg Adam Yourcheck, secretary-treasurer. They held a skating party at the Broadway Rink and the profits greatly helped the treasury. Then the Juniors took to selling candy bars ati noon, and at the basketball games, and the plays. No school event was complete without the Kandy Kids Qname courtesy of Mr. Shrockj. For the third time they elected attendants, Edith Giacomin and Joan Welsh. Soon after the Junior-Senior Prom, Guppy, you and all the other Seniors will be leaving dear old Trafford High. The Juniors, who will succeed you, wish you all the luck in the world.
