Does anyone remember the RHS school paper, The Newsette?
I only have two copies...one dated February,1960, the other June, 1960. So, I don't know if it was our class or the seniors in 1960 that put this out. The inside says that it was 4 issues for the price of 1.00 each. My two are numbers 2 and 3. In the February issue there are pictures of the 62 class……....a story about Miss Kerr retiring after 42 years of teaching...which means she started teaching in 1918! Yikes!

I'm looking through it now and in the RHS 62 section...it says "a speedy recovery to Dora DiBartolomeo who has had an operation"………..aaaaaaaaaaaaand it has a list of songs from that time with names of our classmates next to them...YOU are listed next to the song "Go Jimmy Go”...shouts Rosie Franciosa......This section was written by Mary Williams and Joanne Angrisano...called "Choice Bits", that whole section was sort of a gossip column and all the lines are who is seeing who and who likes who.........and things like that.
The Newsette does mention Boston Ballroom and the students that attended...many of which were in our class...like Roger Ferullo [of course] Arthur Ferragamo, Joanne Angrisano, Meri Mastronardi and Rosie Franciosa and a few others. I don't why I didn't get all four issues. I seem to remember the first one being sold out before I could get one....so I got two anyhow.
Its fun to look through it cuz it has stories and lots of pictures of other classes many of which I recognized as being ahead of us but never knew their names.
I’m a saver of past memorabilia. My theory about liking more things in the past than now, is that we're getting older and there is more past life than the future and times were simpler and much less responsibilities then and besides reliving old times is fun...cuz they never will change.

Sal,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us the Newsette! I wish I had copies.
I do agree with your theory about the past and yes, life was simpler then.
Hugs, Rose
I cannot believe that you still have a copy of the newsette! that is great. I will say that some things never change very much, I am home from the hosptal and recovering slowly but surely.(again)! ! !
ReplyDeletethank you for having saved these treasures and sharing them with us all. As I am reminded of many things of high school and see and hear of what our class mates are doing or have done I can't help but be reminded that we are what we are because of what we were...
Hi Dora,
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better.
Its hard to believe that only
4 years of our lives [high school]
have created such friendships, and
even better ones 46 years later.
Its probably from the last reunion that we still talk about, the
internet and Rose s fine work with
the RHS blog that keep us all in
touch. Our next reunion should even be better. Hope to see you there.

Sal,
ReplyDeleteIf you recall, most of our friendships started well before high school........beginning with McKinley school (some others from different grammar schools in Revere)....then High School.
We as a bunch spent many beautiful years together. Most of us went to the same church as well. And spent all of our weekends together.....so we all go way back more that the 4 years of high school!
Hugs, Rose
