National Honor Society NATIONAL _ HONOR. SOCIETy MARCIA INESON BETSY BELL The National Honor Society is sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. The Waterford Chapter was chartered in June 1939. Members of the society are chosen by the high school faculty and are judged on their service to the school and the charter. On Moving-Up Day 1958, two members of the Class of 1959 were tapped into the society. They were Marcia Ineson and Betsy Bell. Class The Year 1969, the place - the famed Green Turban Restaurant and Night Club owned by Douglas Roy and designed by John White. Here the illustrous class of 1959 is celebrating their ten year reunion. Entertainment for the evening will be furnished by members of our own class who have by now attained great stardom. Arriving early to practice, we see Bill Mossey, famed bongo drummer. Tiptoeing in behind him, is noted ballerina, Lise Dufresne. Suddenly we hear a great commotion. Why it's Helen Muraski, carrying her prized solid gold piano, given to her last night when she made her debut at Carnegie Hall! Strolling nonchalantly in, practicing the scale, is none other than Judy Voleck, cele- brated opera star. Meanwhile, in the kitchen the head cook, Bernadette La Plante, is scurrying around the kitchen, giving orders to Jim Remington, the head waiter. Margaret Bechard, hotel manager, peeks in and finding everything satisfactory goes to the entrance to greet the guests who now are beginning to arrive. To her astonishment, a small private plane lands in the street directly in front of the night club. She is then amazed to see Tom Fanniff, Texas oilman, alighting. With him is his lifelong pal. Vic Le Beau, a glam- orous rodeo star. Suddenly there is another commotion. A man and woman are having a loud argu- ment. Why it's Betsy Bell, noted lovelorn columnist, having an argument with her fifth husband! Trying to get by the arguing couple are our two class members who have gained renown in politics. They are Bette Swartfigure, U. S. Treasurer; and Bill Mc- Clean, Supreme Court Justice. We hear a loud siren as an ambulance screeches to a halt. Dr. Ed Kucskar pediatrician, and his nurse, Nancy Bucci, hurry out. Suddenly a huge limousine pulls up to the curb. The doorman, Dave Pallozzi, opens the door and Marcia Ineson steps out. She is now Mrs. D. V. G. VanderBark. wife of the famed dog food magnate. Next to arrive are Rena Williams, noted dress designer, and model, Anne Cairnduff, wearing Rena’s latest creation, the bag dress. Appearing promptly as usual is Mary Ann Kosek, now Principal of our Alma Mater, Waterford High School, and accompanied by Diane Squire, Kindergarten teacher. A police car pulls up and Tom Law, successful criminal lawyer, arrives. He's in a jubilant mood, having just won a case for his client, Crummy Cooley. Arriving unexpectedly from California is Nancy McDonough, now proud mother of quintuplets. A strange saucer-like vehicle lands on top of the building; descending is Ron Markiewicz, who has just returned from a successful moon expedition. Now entering the night club is someone whom we never expected to see - success- ful English Channel swimmer, Diane Bersaw, and Holly Snay, her manager, following. Arriving a few minutes late, because their plane was delayed by fog, is Airline Stewardess, Pat Sliwinski, and Pilot, Rudy Nikles. As the entertainment begins, someone runs in. Why, it's movie star, Gary Con- nors, pursued by a group of screaming females! Could this be a stunt of publicity agent, Evan Fero? Well, now that everyone has arrived, we settle down to enjoy the evening. We cannot help thinking how lucky we are to be with all our old friends and classmates once again. Class History In September 1955 the eagerly-awaited day arrived - the Class of 1959 ascended to the third floor. There were so many of us that we had to be divided into two home- rooms, 304 and 307. We decided to start out our first year slowly, so we confined our activities to a food sale. In spite of the fact that we ate a lot of the food, the sale was really a success! Fascinated by all the new activities we'd suddenly encountered as Frosh, before we knew it June had arrived. Reluctant as we were to leave for the sum- mer, we consoled ourselves with the fact that we'd be back next year as Sophomores! When September rolled around again, we were overjoyed to discover that we’d all be together in one homeroom, 306. Our Sophomore year started off in a whirl as we sponsored our first dance, Autumn Platter Party. Since we'd been so successful last year, we decided to sponsor another food sale. This one was even more successful than the one the year before. After eating so much we all agreed that we needed some ex- ercise. Therefore, we sponsored another dance, The Sophomore Spring Swing. It hardly seemed possible but another year had flown by us. I guess we gave old 306 a pretty rugged time, because when we returned in the fall we had a new homeroom, 307. Of course, as Juniors we wanted to order our class rings right away. Feeling very ambitious, we also decided to sell Christmas cards. Still exhausted from selling so many cards, but not wanting to miss out on any fun, we held The Turkey Trot. Following this we really needed a brief rest. However, upon hearing the news that our class rings had arrived we forgot our exhaustion in the excite- ment. Our rings arrived just in time so that we could wear them to the Junior-Senior Banquet at Rafaels Restaurant, which we financed. Because we had such a wonderful time at the banquet, we decided to have some more fun. We then sponsored The Big Top Hop. Since we all wanted to be together again as Seniors we spent the rest of the year studying. Finally, our last year at W. H. S. arrived. Time was short so we immediately got into the swing of things. We started selling magazines. Of course, we were also dili- gently working on our yearbook, THE FORDIAN. Things were really hectic now, but we found time to help the Senate sponsor the first dance of the year, The Senate- Senior Sputnik Swirl. Still full of energy we decided to celebrate Halloween by hold- ing The Haunted Hop. Before we could catch our breath it was nearly Christmas vacation. So we held the annual Christmas dance, The Royal Rhapsody, and in February the Valentine Day dance. Quickly the months passed by. leaving such joyous events as the Junior-Senior Banquet, which the Juniors financed, the formal, the year- book banquet, and Moving-Up Day as memories to be cherished. Now we are awaiting the big day - GRADUATION, June 29, 1959. As we go forth into the world we will al- ways remember and cherish these happy moments. STANDING, left to right: J. Voleck, Secretary; M.
