TP ‘ M Jr. ‘J-t It a .?, started one day when thirty-four students representing Vest’Rutland Graded School, St. Stanislaus School, and others from near-by communities vjere awarded elementary di plcmas. Tov.r, we were ready to embark upon our first big step toward a new future. When the first day of high school camu upon us, buzzing was heard throughout the building. Everyone was dressed neat as a pin” in order to make a good impression on everyone. It wasn't very long before the poor, unsuspecting freshmen would enter the building and all the upper classmen would be ready to gang-up on us to do menial tasks and perform embarassing stunts. We would then have to spend an afternoon with' decorations on our faces. At the freshman reception. Gene Wasik made a great im pression on the audience dressed like a lady. Not knowing he was going to be dressed in this costume, his fellow students thought they had a new female member in the class. It was nearing autumn and a 1 1 the students were admiring the beautiful scenery when i.iss liss called the first class meeting. Now it was time when we -'ere to elect our class representatives. Officers who we selected included President, Gene VJasik; Vice-President, Donald Lincoln; Secretary-'Treasur r9 Katharine Davis. There were many activities for the boys. Among them was football. Those who represente' our class on the squad were Ray Pluta, Jack Bianchi, Gene Wasik, and Joseph Vaccarella From our class, Jody V icrrrt icki and Shirley Ha er were chosen on the junior varsity ch oring squad, Doing so ambitious end pepoy they put on a tremendous show and performed effectively in each appearance. Baseball was the springtime interest among the boys and girls. With the help of our hard-fighting Ray P3uta, tho Golden Horde score. mr.;.y victories and hod a nuccossful cafl -pdigfU The time for final examinations was near-at-hnnd. Evory-one tried to do his beet scholastically in order to present parents with flawless report cards and evidence of academic progress. hiss liontgomery, our Home Economics instructor, presented a Fashion show with Hyrtha l itbam, Sophia Chapla, and Joan Faddon modeling an array of summer clothing. In the annual Prize Speaking contest, Judith V ener gave a commendable performance with her rendition of Edgar Allan Poe’s, Telltale Heart. Thus came the end of a year which proved to be new and exciting. i95i-'52 After spending a thrilling vacation, the time soon come when we were to return to the .beautiful marble building. Once again, -we had to dust o . f our books and be prepared for a new school year. It was filled with study assignments. games, dances and other extra-cirricular events One beautiful day in the summer of while re- laxing on the patio of my huge estate situated on Tuttvillc Street, my butler Jeeves, ;al’:ed in and presented me a telegram Hurriedly, I scribbled on the dotted line and took the wire I soon discovered that it was an invitation to a reunion of the Class of I95k$ to be held at the Clarendon Springs Hotel. I rang i'- r my maid and told her to moke an eopointnent - .th the hr !.rdre ser for me immediately. Luckily, I h; •: recently purchased one of the latest styled gowns which was made out of the finest t organdy. I wo.s all in a dither the week before' this gallant affoir and everything seemed to be topsy-turvy, but when it finally arrived I v cs up about it:30 a.m. By 5:30 my custom-built Rolls-Royce was waiting at the door for me, I arrived at the hotel at 11 o’clock and was all upset because I only had an hour in which to powder my nose. As I walked into the lavishly decorated dining room, I felt a bit out of place after one glance at the glamorously dressed celebrities. At the head table sat Mr. Francis Hinchcy, who by the locks of things v as trying desperately to keep in style with Alexander Snodgrass; famous young actor from Hollywood-. He was sporting a pink shirt with light green trousers. As I sat at my table looking mound I noticed a cute couple enter the dining room. It was none other than Johnny Bianchi, v ho was now foreman of Checker ParkmanTs dude, ranch and his wife, the former Anne Osborne, who had become a noted pianist after playing several times at the Chippenhook Grange Hall. In the next group that appeared was Gene Y asik, a professional football player for the Detroit Lion3. Gene had recently won a game sJLnglc-hendcdly against the Cleveland Browns. He escorted Regina Tcavcr the now famous Equestrienne who has been working for the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Regina is also th. owner of a 5,000 acre horse ranch in Southern California. Suddenly, we heard quite a commotion. It sounded like a real argument was in the making. Ken Koczer, a wealthy Texas oil and cattle nan, and Hank Socinski owner of 'the MRock of Ages” granite business and director of Vermont Symphony Orchestra, were exchanging words. The-tv o. were arguing over the oppearencc of five aces in the deck of cords in a friendly little poker game. It was about time to eat and there were several classmates v ho had not yet arrived. Suddenly, they seemed to converge on the sc«mc -11 at on' . Sophie Chapla, on frt teacher at Hunter College, who had recently finished a painting of ’Yhistlcrf s Uncle1’ appeared v ith Don Lincoln.,. Don manufacturers Old Man . Alder1 s oley.ated shoos in Manhattan. The rcaspn that Don had started this business was because he knew that one way or another he wes bound to go up.
