Joey, born 23 years ago into a
family of 10 children, learned to
play the clarinet while in junior^
high school. He organized his first
band, then The Starliters, and con-
tinued his studies and eventually
won a New Jersey State scholar-
ship to Paterspn State Teacher's
College.
Early in 1961, Joey Dee and his
Starliters opened an engagement
in a cafe on 45th Street in New
York called the Peppermint Lounge
which lasted for 13 months. One
night in October 1961, several not-
socialites wandered into the
Peppermint Lounge and stayed to
do the "twist."
A society columnist, Cholly Knic-

sent and reported the incident.

smiling, dark-haired Toul>assi. "I
hope to receive a bachelor of arts
degree and ,ej^ntually go to a
graduate university."

education at Terra Saneta School
and completed his schooling at
Tabeetha High School.
"I was a school prefect of one
of the four student bodies, and
also headed the soccer and ping
pong teams in high school," said
Toubassi.
"I always wanted to participate
in clubs, sports and games, but
not the rough ones," he laughed.

pong and soccer. Toubassi received

Likes To Head
Toubassi likes to read books,
especially mystery stories.'Another
interest is travel. He has seen
Jordan, Italy, Switzerland, West
Germany, Holland, and England,
and now is looking forward to see-
ing Florida and California.

equip himself with the highest
standard of education based on
liberal ideas,'' said Toubassi.

liked the helpfulness of the faculty
to advise and attend to each stu-
dent, the hospitality of Mrs. Nola
