Tune: Summer, 1975 Place: Old Cape Cod With sand dunes and salty air, quaint little villages here and there, the class of 1959 meets. As we cruised to Cape Cod in our spacebreaker, only going 110 miles per hour, we heard the familiar sound of a siren and were signaled to pull over to the side of the road by a tall, dark, and bald state trooper. When we saw who it was, we couldn’t believe our eyes. We rubbed them and Yep!,” it was Larry Fuller. Putting on our feminine charm, we finally thought we had persuaded Larry not to give us a ticket. But we hadn’t — a true state trooper. We continued traveling and soon felt hungry. We stopped at a quaint restaurant called The Sea Gull. As we were leaving, we bumped into Harold Vickery, who had become a noted literary critic. We knew we had better leave right away because he would soon start a long discourse about the Cape. We left him with our best regards and soon reached our destination, Hyannis. After a short search we found an information bureau. Seated at the desk were Hazel Pibus and Sue Meola, who took this for a summer job. In the winter they ran seamstress shops. Hazel and Sue informed us that a good motel to stay at was the Longfellow Motel.” However, Hazel and Sue had failed to tell us that Joyce Gothing and Carl Eames owned the motel. They bought it from Arthur Benedict who had given it up to become a great surgeon. It kept Joyce busy in the summer, and in the winter she modeled. Carl was a psychiatrist who had to get away from his patients because they were driving him crazy. After registering and unpacking we were off to the beach. While we were sunbathing and discussing our own positions, Patricia Popowicz mentioned that she was well satisfied in her work as a laboratory techni- cian, and Julianne Salerno commented on how much she enjoyed being a medical secretary for her husband. I (Michele Abladian) thought how happy I was in my work as a pediatrician. Our reminiscing was broken by a loud scream for help ! We saw two lifeguards dash into the water and save the victim. The lifeguards turned out to be Lorraine Fuller and Cliff” Cummings. Lorraine was a kindergarten teacher and Cliff was teaching manual training. We had a long talk with them, and they told us that Gail Lehman was happily married, and June Skantz and Annette Brunelle had good jobs as fashion designers. Larry Silvester had taken up professional wrestling and was doing very well. The day passed quickly. That evening we were restless, so we went out into the cool salty air. As we walked along a street in Hyannis, we met Beaman LePoer, who was vacationing from his government job in Washington. Beaman invited us to join him as hrs guest at the Oyster Harbor Country Club. Starring that evening were the Offbeats.” When the trio came on, we were stunned. On the piano, singing and playing was Becky” Garside, on the bongo drums was Chet” Brigham, and on the stage dancing was Gerry” Meola. After the show we all got together and had a party. We learned that they were touring the United States and becoming quite famous. 24
