Chick Lehrer in our Sophomore Year. Nice shirt!

At our Graduation Ceremonies the speakers were Judy Oxenberg, Debbie Kornblau (deceased) & Frank DiBianca (our Valedictorian). Our musical performers were Carole Rose (soprano) & Chick Lehrer (on oboe). A very talented group, indeed!

Here's another shot of this talented group!
We noticed that all the waiters in this New York restaurant
carried two spoons in their vest pocket. Naturally, we were
curious. We asked our waiter why.
"As a result of an efficiency study by the management, it
was determined that the most frequently dropped silverware
item was a spoon. Therefore, all the waiters carry two spoons
so that the item can be instantly replaced."
As he was explaining that we noticed a string hanging out of
the fly of his pants. So, we asked about that.
"Sir, that's another efficiency study result. When we have to
go to the bathroom, we use the string to pull ourselves out
and aim. Therefore, we do not have to stop to wash our
hands."
I replied, "I understand how you can get yourself out and
aim, but how do you get yourself back in?"
"Well," replied the waiter, "I don't know about the other
guys, but I use the two spoons!"
