Yearbook, Chapter 5

 On a warm June night in 1963, the Oswego High School seniors gathered in the auditorium, wearing their blue caps and gown, for the annual graduation ceremony.  Among the memorable events was the speech given by Betty Tucker, our valedictorian.  

After everything was said and done, we ditched the caps and gowns and headed to various locations to celebrate.  Bennie and his two friends, Frank and Billy, plus Bubbles and three of her friends went to Sereno's Bar on West Utica Street.  

After a few beers, Bennie gave Bubbles some good news.  The following weekend, his parents would be out of town and he would be home alone.

He invited Bubbles to come to his house and he would cook her a delicious meal, steak and boiled potatoes, followed by chocolate pudding.  She eagerly accepted.
