Westerly High School - Westlyan Yearbook (Westerly, RI)

Page 15 text:

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 consequently they are losing their zest for food. Mr. Joseph Terranova has opened an exclusive school for girls. On his teaching staff are Max Raithel and Rog-er Hinch- liffe. A surprising harmony exists be- tween the faculty and the student body. It is an entirely new experiment in edu- cation. Edgar Goff is still tearing around in his own inimitable collegiate manner falthough he is rather gray around the templesj calling on a famous actress. Well, the boy is father to the man! Rus- sell Brown, snooping reporter for Elsa Schuster's scandal sheet, The Know-it- all-before-it-happensf' will spread this tasty bit of news within half an hour. SECOND WITCH-In the Westerly old men's home, Tony Delicato and Frank Parrilla are discussing the good old days of baseball when they were boys. They still haven't decided which is the better player-Lou Gehrig or Jimmy Foxx, even though these two stopped playing ball ten years ago. Murray Smith and David Glazier are busy campaigning for the fall elections of the We-Know-All Party. David seems to be the silent partner while Murray makes all the soap box speeches. Walter Mroz has permanently taken up his residence in Russia where he has been made commander of the Russian Fleet. THIRD WITCH-It is with the deepest regret that we see for Elizabeth St. Onge a life of misery. Elizabeth, famous ac- tress, was recently left a million dollars by an ardent, elderly admirer who depart- ed from this life. We sincerely hope that the task of disposing of this million will not discourage her and that she will hold up under the strain. In New York we find the hit of Earl Carroll's Vanities, Jo Brusa, singing and dancing lady about town. Jo is one of the favored patrons of Grace Clarke, in- ternationally known pedicurist. From this class we have one member who has strayed from the traditions of her Puritan ancestors. Miss Ruth Nichols, envoy to England, is being severely crit- icized by King Edward. Since Miss Nich- ols' arrival in London, Sir Anthony Eden has been sadly slighting his duties and the cause of world peace is being tragically neglected. Warning: Ruth behave yourself. FIRST WITCH-Can those women be Lydia Perry and Gertrude Plympton, dig- nified settlement workers, driving their roadster into a milk-wagon manned by John Nolan? Oh-oh-there it goes! Nat- urally, Mr. Nolan is greatly perturbed, he is pointing out that the nickel-plating, the crystal attachments, the ivory dash-board, and the air-conditioning system of his wagon have all been destroyed by the col- lision. With .Florence Realini as press-agent and business manager, the Out-of-doors- and-into-the-world-Club ably sponsored by Ilse Heyder and Beverly Smith, nature lovers, is about to become a nation-wide project. Because of this new movement, there is a boom in the beach hat business and also in the olive oil industry. James Breckenridge, still keeping the fine old name of Breckenridge before the public, is announcing an opening soon of his Breckenridge Fish Bowl, decorated ex- terior and interior by the new interior- exterior decorator, Miss Mary Turo. Miss Turo's promoter, Mr. Roy Howard, is promising the public a stupendous, colos- sal surprise when it sees the Fish Bowl. SECOND WITCH-Myrtle Barber has now the distinction of being the only car- rot-topped individual in New England. Mary Sisson has entered a J ohnny-cake eating contest in Westerly. In spite of her petiteness, Mary is far ahead of her nearest competitor, 'Olive Maggs. Margaret Nasi has had the honor for the past two years of doubling for Jean Harlow. It seems as if Westerly were well represented out in Hollywoodg Louis Vu- ono is secretary to Greta Garbo. Such an honor! THIRD WITCH-Bob Kessel, who last year pitched the Philadelphia Terrors to the winning of the World's Series, is at present holding out for more money. Dur- ing the interlude until the managers re- gain their senses, Bob is acting as special constable in Westerly. His training in the High School Varieties is standing him in good stead. One of our class is a world's champion- that is, a marble champion. Bill Hurtado is now known as King of the Marble Shooters, having gained that title by virtue of a contest held at the last Olym- pics. We now see Angelo Alice, the salesman de luxe. He has accomplished something -.-.gg 1 3 Ep..-

Tun SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 in Westerly last night on his world wide lecture tour, telling of his recent trip to Mars. All the newspapers have been commenting on his thrilling description of the planet. The U. S.: relay team consisting of Harry Brown, Louis and Tony Falcone, and Bart Ferrante have just returned from Spain after having captured first place in the mile. Sam Larkin and Joe Comolli have suf- fered from broken jaws as a result of a sneezing contest held on the Larkin es- tate. George Maggs, the referee, gave the decision to Joe Comolli when the force of the sneeze caused Joe's glass eye to drop out. THIRD WITCH--The famous snake- charmer, Natalie Whitford, recently left on an extended trip for fiercer snakes. She will give her first appearance with these larger, fiercer, more interesting snakes in Radio City. Ruth Dinges, assistant, has taken out more life insurance, as the first act calls for a friendly embrace around her neck of a very long, black, affection- ate snake. The noted historian, Marguerite Beebe, is at present wandering somewhere in the wilds of South America. She is making an extensive study of the early life of the Amazons to settle a dispute between Mary Olcowick and Phyllis Hill, as to whether a woman's place is in the home, or oth- erwise. To the world of sport, Westerly High has contributed one outstanding perform- er. Sir Malcolm Campbell's 300 miles per hour record has recently been smashed. Catherine Harvey made 300 a mere trifle by moving along at 500 miles per hour. Miss Harvey attributes much of her suc- cess to Doris Pierce, mechanic, whose lov- ing care of that engine made it perform so well. FIRST WITCH-It seems that Freder- ick Tourtelotte, that handsome bachelor, has sent a letter to Miss Mary Pucci, col-- umnist. Miss Pucci apparently had writ- ten an article in her column, Advice to Those in Love, and Mr. Tourtellotte has disputed her point of view. Mr. Richard Walthers, press agent for the American League of Miscellaneous Athletics, is ar- guing with Miss Pucci. I see at Ray Bryant's popular Black and Blue Nite Club Thomas Collings, that attractive gigolo about whom all the women are ravingg also, Miss Mary Do- nati, escorted by the only crooning life- guard in existence. Miss Helen Edmonds, bug specialist, has hired the Misses Thel- ma Hill and Elizabeth Grispino, aviatrices, to fly over Boom Bridge and spray the land below with her famous liquid which will kill anything in sight. A warning has been issued to those living in the vi- cinity. The bugs are the first to be leav- mg. SECOND WITCH-Lucy Augeri, whose lack of stature was one of her woes in High School, is capitalizing on it at last. She's joined a troupe of traveling midgets and performs very well. Theresa Gencarelli is extremely priv- ileged, having Iive bosses in th-e persons of the Dionne quintuplets. She handles for these very popular ladies their ex- tremely voluminous mail. The Four Mus- keteers are still together. Mary Federico, Nancy Fiore, Rose Gencarelli, and Palma Nardone are all employed by Eleanor Berado at her Wayside Stand. Eleanor superintends the .kitchen and is rapidly becoming famous for her spaghetti din- ners. THIRD WITCH-Raymond Hoxie is lending his handsome presence to the mov- ie industry, a profession which James Gourlay, prominent physician, declares suits him perfectly. Dr. Gourlay's wom- en patients have increased 20071 since Hoxie's entrance to the movies. All are suffering from heart palpitations. Esquire, men's magazine, is now being managed by Philip Dove. Needless to say, men's fashions are greatly changed since Mr. Dove took over style predicting. The gents are simply wild over his latest creation-red spats. Leslie Stone has generously refused a movie contract, declaring that his en- trance would be detrimental to Mr. Hox- ie's standing. He is a rising young poet, however, who devotes much time to the subject of trees of various varieties. FIRST WITCH-Miss Pauline Cook, di- etitian for the elephants in Donald Mc- Lean's circus, is protesting that Miss Isa- belle Barr is spoiling the elephants' appe- tites by singing lullabies in French to the kangaroos. The music has spoiled many a night's sleep for the poor elephants and -..gf 12

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 hitherto unheard of. He is actually sell- ing brushes of a certain variety. Just to prove how well he has done, he was last year voted the most outstanding Fuller Brush man. Imagine it! FIRST WITCH--Lois Kessel, as Pro- bator of Wills, has been very successful. She has been steadily advancing in her field until it looks as if she were monop- olizing it. As no one has a better right, go ahead, Lois. We see some of our class are air-mind- ed. Extensive plans have been made for a stratosphere flight by Hilda Lepikko, Jessie Simone, and Mary Brocato. There is a slight delay, however. Hilda favors Mars, while Jessie supports a visit to Jupiter. Pauline Pitcher wishes that they'd hurry and decide so that she will know at last just wher-e all the Apollo- like men have gone. Virginia Melia has accomplished a real feat. She's the world's fastest talking human. She is now Wal- ter Winchell's Girl Sunday, being able to impart more interesting facts than even that skilled news commentator can in the short space of radio time. SECOND WITCH-We have often won- dered why Ev Peduzzi, coach of the Bash- ful Five basketball team, has made it a strict rule never to have more than one referee at his games. His team tells us that it's because it is so difficult to put his arms around two referees at once. Battling Jeff Simmons and Thomas John Bull Palmer staged a very severe battle at the opening of the new Hookie Jackson Arena on East Avenue. The decision was a draw. Louis Faverio has just completed a six lane auto tunnel un- der the Pawcatuck River between West- erly and Stonington. Sam Sammataro and Pete DePerry are coaching Westerly's first professional football eleven. They are being assisted by the veteran coaches of the famous Westerly High football teams. THIRD WITCH-Coiffures by Althea are quite in vogue. Miss Norman has a thriving business in Boston, women of fashion waiting in great suspense till Al- thea predicts th-e latest trend of curls. The revival of The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round has brought gray hairs to the heads of Arline Anderson, Theresa Sicilian, Sylvia Kender, and Gladys Ship- pee. The four operate a farm for the rais- ing of trained Mexican jumping beans, which go insane as the strains of this song are heard. Cheer up, ladies, it has had the same effect on humans. Yvonne Dinwoodie broadcasts daily on the subject How to Hold Your Man. The principal form of procedure is delect- able chicken dinners rounded off with luscious chocolate cake. FIRST WITCH-Frank Mills has or- ganized a traveling circus as a cheap means of seeing the world. u One of the acts includes Waldo Bishop who floats through the air with the greatest of ease. The act involving J uliene Fiore and Alex Capalbo is the hit of the show. It is a bicycle idea on a tight rope. The boys declare that they enjoy the wide open spaces of the upper atmosphere. May Shippee is operating a Reducing by Safe Means school in Hollywood. Says May, They come in droves to my shop. She is, of course, very busy. She advo- cates a rigid course in exercise. Betty Alger is keeping Theresa Gencar- elli company in caring for the Dionne quintuplets. Betty superintends the pur- chasing of these ladies' cloth-es. To prove what a good job Betty makes of it, The Quins were last year voted the best dressed women in America. SEC'OND WITCH-A catastrophe has overtaken Ruth Bogue and Helen Rose. They left some time ago on an automobile trip in the Sahara Desert. Latest reports have it that they ran out of gas and have been obliged to finish the journey by the art of thumb-wagging. We see Anna Gilson with 'Oswald the Great, noted artist and sculptor. Just an- other model gone astray! She eloped with the great gentleman and thus deprived the World of art of one of its most noted models. We see Gordon Kennedy and Paul Mis- isco, great financiers, who have hired John Williamson and James Kirby as bodyguards. The gentlemen, since buy- ing the 5 and 10's, have decided to sur- pass Mr. Rockefeller and distribute quar- ters on their birthdays. Start forming the lines now if you wish to be among the fortunate. ALL- All the weird shapes that have been From our cauldron disappear- -..Qf 1 4 E+..-
