THE ROCK = 1938 VOLUME 2 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS EAST ROCKAWAY HIGH SCHOOL EAST ROCKAWAY - LONG ISLAND THE RDCK-I9ZB FOREWORD We do not fear our critics For we feel we've done our best, We hope none will take offense At our amateurish jest Read this for pleasure only; That is all we wrote it for. Please take us in small doses, And then come back for more. For this book is really candy And not to be used too quick, Because too much of a year book Can make one awfully sick V . 1.1.1 1 1 1 1 1 1 9 THE RDCK-I9ZB 5 PHILIP B. LANGWORTHY When we find a man who has mastered the art of injecting just enough of the spice of philosophy into the pudding of education to give it a pleasant flavor, but without making it too sweet, we quickly strive to give him recognition To such a man, Philip B. Langworthy, we dedicate this book in honor of his craftsmanship in combining the ingredients of education in the most pleasing proportions. THE RDEK-I9Z8 THEME We've chosen as our theme: The Seniors on Parade.'' To no one it's symbolical To all, a wild charade. We never marched a single step; We couldn't make the grade, Because with aching feet we'd be The Seniors on Parade. We cannot beat a drum Or toot a martial air. We know we couldn't march Like soldiers debonair. So give a gay salute Before your memories fade To all the lore and laughter Of Seniors on Parade.

THE RDEK-I FACULTY PLAY Curse You, Jack Dalton1 snarled Mr Hermanson as he schowled at Mr Brossmun's attempt to save Miss Barron's honor and Miss Cat-terall's heart. All this was the result of the faculty and P T A's attempt to stage a melodrama in the strict 1890 fashion Handlebar mustashes and off-key harmony were paraded before the footlights of the Center Avenue stage. Curse You, Jack Dalton was a new idea in plays for the younger generation who have never seen a real brown derby or a flashy plaid vest. Between the acts, a quartette of pseudo-Boweryites brought tears to the eyes of even the most stone-hearted people With all the teachers playing their parts in ancient costumes, time seemed to move backward several decades to the days of tamdem bicycles and mustache cups. This play was one of the thrilling attractions of the school year as ail will testify. Mrs. Dalton..... Eioise Dalton .. Jack Dalton .... Anna Alvarado ... Egbert Van Horn Bertha Blair....

Miss Gordon took upon herself the right to sprawl on the floor seven times. Earnest Miss Barron introduced a new technique in guarding labeled, Dutch Miiltype number one extraordinary. Hope was inspired in the faculty players by the lusty cheers of Miss Kane and the cheerleaders, and by the oranges prepared and served by Miss Marjorie Kane. Faculty scores were raised by the shots of Teacher Tice so they won by the score of 26-27.

THE RDEK-I9Z8 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES Mixed with the sweetness of education is the taint of bitterness caused by the financial interests created by the various classes' zest to do big things. Every class wants a year book, but doesn't realize that a year book costs money until the senior year is all too far on its way. Suddenly there is a rush of hurried activity as the sad realization comes long after it should have Everyone moves sullenly about muttering figures and quoting prices under his breath. Dark days seem to loom ahead until some fertile brain evolves a set of plans which finally saves the day. The senior class of 1938 has had such a rush to harvest its meager crop of funds that it would like to preserve for posterity its efforts, so that like good historians, it has set them down in as clean order as possible The only purpose is to let other classes profit by old mistakes! I I THE RDEK-I When the senior class held its first real financial venture, a cake sale, its hope was high. They thought there was nothing to raising money except getting everyone to bring a cake, which the class would sell at a clean profit. But the trick wasn't that easy. On the appointed day, a store was secured and cleaned. The hopeful salesmen sat back and waited for cakes to arrive, but few did. Near hysteria reigned. After much calling and running, enough cakes were secured to prevent a complete failure. A Christmas dance and several tea dances followed which stirred up little interest and less money. Tasty Jell, pencils with basketball schedules upon them, Christmas cards, and motion picture presentations followed to add their little bits to the class treasury. The senior play made the first large solid contribution to the class treasury. This play, however, was done under the direction and auspices of the dramatic club and, therefore, was not entirely a senior effort. With the dual purpose of starting a precedent and also making no little money toward the yearbook fund, the class planned and had the first Senior Prom. Although the plan was new to this school, the dance was conducted exceedingly well and a surprising amount of money was added to the little nest egg. When all the returns were finally counted, much to the amazement of all concerned, enough money had been earned from the activities and dues to make a yearbook possible. In order to avoid a similar rush in other classes, the class of 1938 wants to issue a fatherly warning to all its successors to act immediately and not wait until the final semester to do what should be done over a period of several years. THE RDCK-I9ZB TH E CLASS OF '38 ON PARADE The first scenes are laid in the respective classrooms of Rhame and Center Avenue Schools. In these settings we are taken back to the days when we were taught the first lessons of the golden rule. Only faint recollections are left in our minds of those far-off kindergarten days. We have precious memories of tiny, pink-cheeked girls, with saucy bows perched atop their heads, cutting out paper dolls or of little boys dressed in white sailor suits quibbling over a set of blocks. Do you remember Artie Keefe and Happy Tucker with bangs? Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic followed closely upon the heels of kindergarten and the business of school became more and more complicated. Homework made its debut and some rather quiet individuals with a hazy view of what was to come in the future decided to let this torture become a habit; the rest of us were too busy thinking up excuses for not doing it. Many of our grammar school days were taken up with laughter and pranks! Several incidents are recalled to us of these times, incidents that gave our teachers a rather panicky moment or two but provided us with many amusing moments. One of the outstanding episodes happened in the fourth grade at Center when Spitball Harold (Oscar) Liles found himself locked in a cloakroom with an enormous raccoon coat. The scenes of our story become clearer and livelier as the more recent years pass into view. The sixth and seventh grades were perhaps the most riotous. Take for instance the day Mrs. Rabitow took a group of her pupils in to the Museum of Natural History! During the tour of the building, Jim Torrance took a sudden notion to throw one of the girl's hats over the balcony, he did—right on the head of an ancient dinosaur. Or do any of you remember what a cut-up Tom Moore was at this time in our school career? Some of his prize pranks were throwing Miss Stegeman's plants out of the windows just to see them smashed to smithereens, standing on chalk-boards and jumping upon people who came into the room. Playful fellow, wasn't he? THE RDCK-I But Rhame Avenue had its share of adventures too. Oft repeated is the tale of Bill Stock, John Wardrop, Bill Magrath and the rest of the boys in the passage way above the coat room of the school, of how they were caught in their own trap, and were not able to get down. Another episode that is ne'er to be forgot, was the initiation of Margie Austin into the Junior Debs, when she was told to walk the plank and promptly marched into the creek. Most of the deviltry in Rhame Avenue was created by those Three Musketeers , John Glucks-man, James O'Brien and Happy Tucker. Remember the day they broke practically every window in the school, with the excuse that they were practicing for the baseball season? Dear to us are the memories of the days spent in Woods Avenue, the rambling, old fashioned building that sheltered us during the Junior High Period. Now with the motto that You are only young once, make the most of it off we paraded into our ninth year festively. Art Keefe one day was picked up, chair and all, and carried bodily from one end of the room to the other by Professor Hermanson. The month of June, year 1935, found the freshmen rushing around trying to pass exams, plan their party and keep calm. With only a few mishaps, these events were soon over and after a steaming summer vacation, we started the long journey of high school life. Our sophomore year was hardly under way when several of the more spirited students decided to celebrate Mr. Davison's marriage, slightly ahead of time, with rice, shoes and all the trimmings. The boys were occupied cleaning it all up for the next few days. With spring cleaning that year we were installed in our new and thoroughly modern high school. No longer would the old bell warn us of time in the mornings; silenced were the rickety stairs and seats. Now we had to tread with light, carefree steps upon the waxed hall ways and gleaming stairs. At last we were in the new school, with fresh surroundings and fresh ideals to spur our class on to broader fields.

The members pause to hear. Treasurer, take the dues. The members disappear. 38 THE ROCK-1 STUDENT COUNCIL Standing as an exponent of self government, East Rockaway High School has adopted the Student Council as a means of permitting the students to govern themselves through representation. Each class elects one member to the board with the exception of the senior class, which elects two. The Council plans all the assembly programs and appoints the hall police to keep order in the hallways during the time people change classes. Campaigning for courtesy within the school has been done by the Council by means of posters and cartoon sheets with the hope that those few pupils who do not know, might learn to be courteous.

From filling in at Bunco tables one week to wrestling with the faculty in basketball the next, our girls have had a pretty busy year Hi-Y members feel that they have accomplished their cm in making school more enjoyoble for the students as a whole. , , , , , . .......... In February they sponsored on annual cord party to raise funds for charitable purposes Iris Wellebil repre sented the local chapter in a state conference in Albany. They have held a tea dance for all the girls in school, and a tea for both teachers and senior girls. BOYS' HI-Y President, Robert Pastor; Vice President, John Wordrop; Treasurer, William Mecklenburg, Recording Secretary, Cameron Judge, Corresponding Secretary, Martin Smith; Council Representative, Martin Smith, Adviser, Mr Halford Finally becoming steady on their feet after having two shaky years, the Boys' Hi-Y branched out and made themselves known Through means of discussions, debates and guest speakers the boys have created a club which helps to maintain the high standards set forth Martin Smith again represented East Rockaway at the Southeastern District New York State older boys' conference in White Plains. THE RDCK-I9Z8 BAND LEADER—MR. FORDHAM The band made its first official appearance at the Spring Concert this year. It has grown into a spirited organization and will represent our school at the football games in the future The band has an excellent selection of numbers among them the Overture of Zenith and King Cotton March by Sousa ORCHESTRA LEADER—MR. FORDHAM I he repertoire of the orchestra has increased enormously for its popularity has demanded its presence at many school functions this year. In the fall term, members plaved at an assembly and a Parent-Teachers' meeting, and in the spring term at The Late Christopher Bean , senior class-dramatic club play, at both junior and senior high graduations and were featured in an appearance at the Lynbrook Theatre on May 9, sponsored by the Lions Club 42 THE RDCK-I9ZB GIRLS' GLEE CLUB LEADER—MR. FORDHAM Members of this musical organization were chosen in a competition at the beginning of the year from the membership of the High School Chorus; to belong to this group is one of the highest honors of the department. BOYS' GLEE CLUB LEADER—MR. FORDHAM When the Girls' Glee Club got under way, several of the boys in school organized a Boys' Glee Club. They performed exceptionally well at the spring concert. Perhaps, if you had passed the high school building on a Tuesday evening and heard some lanky, leather-lunged lads, singing lovesongs, you would understand that they really have a good time. THE RDCK-I92B CHORAL CLUB The Chora! Club has been particularly active this year In addition to the usual first semester operetta, wh'ch was exceptionally well given, the club also gave a spring concert The Mikado and the Spring Festival were very successful, both financially and socially. The Choral Club has appeared at various times during the year They presented a special program at Christmas time and also sang at the P. T A and the Commencement exercises in June They will sing again this year for the Graduation Day Ceremonies and are rapidly building up a place for themselves in school tradition. DANCE ORCHESTRA The dance orchestra was founded this year by a few of the energetic members of the music department so that they would be able to earn a little money and be repaid in a measure for the hours they spend practicing. The boys in this club have played at dances after basketball games, at tea dances, at social dances for the pleasure of the students and for their own amusement After their serious rehearsals, the boys usually kick out and go to town. Then indeed doth music float on the air. 44 THE RDCK-I THE MIKADO The choral club in November transferred our attentions from Long Island's bleak autumn scene to the gaiety of a Japanese court yard when they presented Gilbert and Sullivan's beloved operetta, The Mikado . The part of Yum-Yum, filled with frills and trills was taken by promising Marion Willms. Leonard Terry did admirably well with his tenor voice as the lovesick but handsome hero. George Beeck scampered through his part as Ko-Ko so roguishly that we still laugh when we think of him. William Tuohy filled the part of Lord-High-Everything both physically and vocally! Supporting the cast were Vincent Nalbach, the eye-winking Mikado; Doris Pearsall with the irrestible right elbow; regal Ken Pearsall and the two little giggling maids, Adele Schreiber and Alice Van Wicklen as Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo. The choral club made up the chorus of pretty maids and gentlemen of Japan. When the rousing finale was over, the audience left the auditorium pervaded with the atmosphere of the Orient, feeling that Mr. Fordham had not wasted his time and capabilities. THE RDEK-I9ZB SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB President, John McNamara, Vice President, Helen O'Brien, Secretary, Martha Flannery, Treasurer, Shirley Solinger; Publicity Manager, Catherine O'Regan; Stage Manager, Vincent Nalbach; Adviser, Miss Gordon The Thespians of the club will long remember this year as one filled with pantomimes, monologues, scenes from recent and current plays, parties and lollypops (the traditional D C fare) In bi-monthly meetings, members have studied many phrases of dramatic art For instance, one meeting was devoted to make-up, the girls, willing martyrs, let the boys make them up from their masculine ideas of beautiful stage women with lanquid eyes and perfectly arched eyebrows When character makeup was the suoject for practice, the girls, however, had their chance tc make decrepit grandfathers of the boys At other meetings, hand exercises, footwork, reading cf lines for full meaning, and the possibilities in facial expressions have been subjects for study Several meetings were devoted to the introduction of the dea of a verse choir and preliminary experimentation with this new form The club plans to work with this medium next year as a subsidiary activity for those particularly interested in it In the world of public performances the club with the senior class presented on April 9, Sidney Howard's three act comedy of New England small-town life, The Late Christopher Bean. To study professional acting, some of the group went to the Theatre of Four Seasons at Roslyn to see Shakespeare's Roman play, Coriolanus. Twenty-five members had the opportunity, also, of seeing eighteenth century dandies and belles in Pride and Prejudice, a play adopted from Jane Austen's novel, given by the Adelphi College players Everyone remembers the dramatic players of Adelphi from the fantasy they gave so expertly in assembly under the auspices of the dramatic club And last of oil, in thinking over the busy vear, members will not forget the Valentine party with its red jello salad prayed over by Margie Licari, the Big Apple contest staged by Jean Alien, or the pantomime interpretation of a boy and girl getting ready for a party by Vincent Nalboch JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB President, Nancy Keller Vice President, Betty Rendalt; Secretary, William Meagher, Treasurer, Betty Donaldson, Adviser, Mrs. Reilly. Realizing that poor articulation is a handicap, the members of the Junior High Dramatic Club are encouraged to use a clear, well-rounded voice, which, of course, necessitates the opening of the mouth and the free movement of the lips Repeating tongue twisters and nonsense rhymes has proved beneficial and amusing to club members. The development of poise and leadership are two of the most important purposes of the club Those who need such training, rather than gifted children only, are encouraged to participate in this club Members of the club be eligible for try-outs for membership in the Senior Dramatic Club will 46 THE RDCK-I THE LATE CHRISTOPHER BEAN The members of the cast of The Late Christopher Bean have spent many school hours congratulating themselves on their success in the competition with the drum and bugle corps on Thursday nights. They even managed to be heard beyond the second row on a few successful but rare occasions. As might be expected, they had a rest period everytime a difficult barrage of speeches was about to be emitted. Several members of the cast fervently wished that the corps would meet on Monday nights as well, so that the faltering in their lines would go unnoticed by Miss Gordon. The constant bickerings between irascible Mrs. Haggett, Doreen Payne, and her sharp-tongued sparring partner Abbv, Martha Flannery, kept the rest of the cast in quotations for several weeks afteiwcrd Susie, or Helen O'Brien, deserves praise for learning to gulp gutterally without choking Vincent Nalbach depicted the simple but bewildered country doctor so well that we considered engaging him to diagnose our illnesses. Warren Creamer, John McNamara, a house painter and potential artist, kept himself busy trying to put the right amount of injured pride into his voice. Jean Allen, as Ada, was so obviously a subtle flirt that many of us felt that old tomato urge growing on us. Nat Clark, as Davenport tried a Southern, Yiddish and British accent before he decided to adopt his character of an elderly and distinguished gentleman. The cast, as you may gather, enjoyed their work in producing The Late Christopher Bean and the spectators enjoyed it even more intensely as judged by the applause which accompanied its opening. THE RDCK-I9ZB GALLERY CLUB President .... Vice President Secretory ..... Treasurer...... Adviser........ .. CATHERINE O'REGAN ........ EDITH LYNCH ...... RUTH PHILLIPS ... VIRGINIA RENDALL ........ MR. SAFFORD The aim of the Gallery Club—to develop the individuality of its members by sponsoring their work- may sound vogue but the list of its accomplishments is long and varied. The secretary reports that the dub has presented an assembly program devoted to caricatures of the faculty by Edith Lynch, an exhibition at o Parent Teachers' meeting of the different phases of art work a one-man show of the work of Margy Dixon, a display of paintings and sketches of cats, an exhibition of industrial designs by Mr Safford, and a showing of posters borrowed from the Grand Central School of Art. During the year the club has contributed to school life by designing and making Christmas cords for the Red Cross, book marks for the English classes for National Book week, and programs for The Mikado , the Spring Concert, The Late Christopher Bean , and the Parent Teachers' exhibition. Enjoyment has not been neglected, however; the members have made trips to art exhibitions in Hempstead and New York, and forsaking art entirely—have celebrated Christmas with a party, the May weather with a picnic, and conclusion of January examinations with a roller skating party. As its final gift of the year to the school, the Gallery Club has donated the tapestry to be displayed in Room 110, the general activities room. 48 THE RDCK-I9ZB 49 LATIN CLUB President ..... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer ..... Adviser........ DEWEY MUNSON STEPHEN BURKE .LORRAINE KIELY . EDWARD CLARK ..... MISS KANE I am your humble slave, oh, exalted master! Do with me what thou wilst. I will serve thee now and forever. So quoth pleb'an newcomers to members of the Latin Club. With this bromidical epithet on their lips several hopeful Latin students entered the mystic membership of the Latin Club last fall. Now this same group has assumed that imperialistic dignity which traditionally surrounds a senatorial aristocrat. They seem to be able to think in terms of life a few centuries back, play games that were played there, and still have a good time. Some of the reports given at club meetings make the classicists realize that we moderns aren't so original or enterprising. For example, most members believed Christmas to be a comparatively new feast, but Ruth O'Brien pointed out that the Roman Saturnalia existed for centuries before our Christmas. Then that chef of chefs, Nat Clark pointed out that partridge brains were once considered a delicacy. Most of the club's members visited the Theatre of the Four Seasons at Roslyn to see Coriolanus and were rewarded by a good performance and by an exhibition of how a toga should be worn. On the whole the members say, A nobis non descivimus. THE RDCK-I9ZB HALL COPS Watch your step and keep to the right and keep to the right and watch your step , the hall cops sing as they stand as watching sentinels in the hallways between classes Daily they slip from their classes a few minutes before the bell, to take their place on stair landing or strategic hall pos tion to sing their song Watch your step and keep to the right and keep to the right and watch your step TRAFFIC SQUAD Except for the few days when torrential rains sent them to seek shelter, the school traffic squad have held their positions under all conditions of weather Even the cold biting-wind which swept down from the north foiled to halt their chant of Watcha tep.

With the plan of some day, in the very near future, having its own radio station, the East Rockaway Radio Club has come into being under the guidance of Mr. Halford This club, one of the newest in the school, had already swung into action with a definite program of fun and instruction Each member has set, as his objective, the obtaining of an amateur operator's license.

Those students who buy the Courier, the school bi-weekly newspaper, little realize the preparations that occur in the making of the finished product. Few ever see the weary staff laboring on the page dummies those Wednesday afternoons before the sheet goes to press. With clean-up minded custodians threatening them with brooms, they hurry to paste their lead stories in their proper places. Long before the last filler is pasted in to plug a mis-judged column, the street lights have been switched on and the winter night has already closed in. Neither have they seen the snooping reporters spying and prying into dark corners for little morsels of interesting gossip or fact, or the typists' last minute rush as editors stroll in with late news. Very few know that the members of the staff attend conferences and conventions to learn something that may aid the paper Robert McGovern went to the Syracuse Conference and Florence Bremer went to one at Columbia University. THE RDCK-I LA SOCIETE HONORAIRE President, Elizabeth Peabody; Vice President, Iris Wellebil; Treasurer, Alice Van Wicklen; Secretary, Christine Trost; Adviser, Mrs. Stone The East Rockaway High School is certainly putting itself on the map as far as activities go. With an East Rockaway student as president, we head the list of schools including Long Beach, Freeport, Baldwin, Lynbrook, Westbury and Woodmere. We have definitely made great progress in the foreign language of French. This society is composed of the cream of the crop, or we should say cream of the French speaking students. High averages must be earned before one may belong. At the monthly meetings, held every third Thursday, songs, compositions and plays are given in French. The business meetings, which are held after the entertainment are usually just a conglomeration of American motions and seconds. The first half of this year. East Rockaway's officers had charge of the meetings. Alice, our worthy treasurer, had to use great skill to extract the dues from each chapter. One meeting, when Elizabeth was not present, Iris timidly and fearfully took her place before us and conducted la seance. After the first meeting, Mrs Stone, our adviser, notified us we were pronouncing Honor-aire incorrectly. After that, all the members went around in a daze trying to correct the wrong utterance. Christine, our secretary, was particularly annoyed, for she had to say it each month in the minutes. A social affair was held at Long Beach in February, a tea dance at which Ken Dyer was the only boy present from our chapter Poor Ken had his troubles keeping the girls (approximately ten) satisfied. All in all, everyone had a good time. THE RDCK-I9ZB SPRING CONCERT The performance of the students of Mr Fordham's Music Department in their Spring Concert made us realize that melody, lovely melody, need not be solely the creation of professional musicians. From the vigorous opening march of the newly created band to the last sweet notes of Romberg's Sweetheart sung by the ensemble, each piece seemed to fit a need that every man has for rhythmic expression of his thoughts and feelings. The program was carefully planned for contrast; one minute we were smiling at the buffoonery of The Big Brown Bear and the next, dreaming at the delicate tones of Children of the Moon sung by the Girls' Glee Club. No person hearing this concert would ever feel that music lacks robustness for the Boys' Glee Club in Stout Hearted Men end the Eighth Grade Glee Club in The Hopak , a folk song, had us keeping merry time with our heads and toes. With the growth of our orchestra in experience and number, we have become steadily more proud of it, and were never more so than when it played Tschaikow-sky's Sleeping Beauty Suite with true feeling and genuine understanding. Nat Clark's poised introductions, the String Quartette's commendable beginning, and the smooth order of the program were other attributes worth remembering that made the Spring Concert a delightful evening's entertainment for the audience. THE RDCK-I ROCK RIVALRY Erect, military and smartly garbed, the Senior class, with accompanying drum and bugle corp, marched through Rock Rivalry to capture the coveted silver cup. With ticket sales already to their credit, they started the triumphal march, piling up point upon point until victory was their's. The Froshs' Arctic setting, the Sophs' Bowery and the Juniors' circus were no easy targets for the Senior guns to blast down. A drum corp of seniors was met by a junior corp of the same type. A thrilling battle ensued with sharp notes and cannon-like crashes of flying between the two corps. The seniors popped up with a pair of young mascots as an extra eye-catcher, but the juniors came back with a pseudo-Frank Buck who made an ultra-pseudo tiger perform almost like a man. Freshman girls, in cellophane skirts made a lively cheering contrast to the seniors' stunt of playing taps in a gym totally darkened except for a lighted red cross suspended on the wall. Basketball provided a means for the senior girls to add points to the ever mounting score. They swamped the other class, but the senior boys were not so fortunate as they were subdued in the preliminaries. The |udges liked the juniors' wall murals of circus life, but still liked the seniors' mural well enough to give it a second place. The senior mural was a reproduction of a Red Cross poster greatly enlarged and a war scene with muddy men and horse. All was perfect, except that one horse had a tail growing from where it shouldn't have been. Refreshment stands reached a new peak in originality when the freshmen built an entire igloo; the sophs, a bar, the juniors, an animal cage; and the seniors, a solid red cross with a window in the middle. There was a tense moment or two just before the cup was awarded The students milled about, and nearly swamped Miss Rudiger as she stood in the center of the gym. As the voice in the loudspeaker rasped out, The winner, the seniors , a loud cheer arose. 57 Victory was for the seniors, and they made the most of it THE RDCK-I9Z8 Sing a moral victory song, East Rock'way's lost the game, But the boys were in there fighting For the honor of her name— So do not rouse your anger, Keep collected, calm, and cool, And help cheer on the team That represents your school. THE RDCK-I AN EXPLANATION OF THE NEW GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM The Commission of Education governing Health and Physical Education for girls no longer approves of league interscholastic competition with varsity teams. Although there is an open field for discussion, we at East Rockaway will follow this plan which is approved by the State Department. For the benefit of those who will be with us for another year or more and also for the graduating class, who should keep up with the activities of the school as active alumni members, I wish to explain our program of girls' athletics which will be followed in the future. Each sport will be handled in the same manner. For clarity, consider hockey as our subject. Every class from freshman through senior will have a class hockey team. After a few weeks of fundamentals, the classes will compete against each other. A certain number of class games will be played and then I shall choose a team representing the best players from each class team. This team will be known as an Honor team and will compete with other Honor teams from other schools in invitation meets. From all appearances, this is no different from what East Rockaway has been doing in the past, with the exception that we are no longer classed in any league or are compelled to play other school teams. The word Honor replaces the word Varsity and Invitation Games replaces the old B League . The following sports will be managed in this new manner. 1. Hockey 3. Fall Tennis 5. Baseball 2. Basketball 4. Volley Ball 6. Spring Tennis Track has been dropped from the schedule, but there is a possibility of having class competition or field days in this sport. Grace Rudiger Instructor in Physical Education THE RDCK-I9ZB GIRLS' TABLE TENNIS The 1937-38 girls' table tennis had the honor of winning the first inter-scholastic championship in the history of East Rockaway High School By defeating every other team ir both Class A and Class B divisions, the girls became the South Shore League champions The members of the team have ployed table tennis for only two years They hit their stride toward the latter part of the 1936-37 season, at that time starting a winning streak which is still unbroken THE TEAM—'Helen O'Brien—co-captain, 'Christine Trost—co-captain, 'Rosalind Elterman, 0Elaine Griffen, •Evelyn Morano, Ruth O'Brien, 'Madeline Ludwig, 'Edith Meagher—playing manager, Bernice Segal I, Doris Kohlus, Jean Meagher, Lorraine Kiely, Coach—Mr Davison Letter Players BOYS' TABLE TENNIS Although the East Rockaway boys' table tennis team did not end the season among the leaders, it did have a fair record, winning five and losing five matches This record indicates that the team has shown improvement since the end of last season during which only two matches were won.

THE RDCK-I92B GIRLS' TENNIS This year the girls' tennis team was kept busy with a heavy schedule on hand Since there were only six members from last year's squad, Ev Morano, Rose Dunn, Peg Dunn, Dot Collins, Shirley Solinger and Peg Morrell, it was necessary to choose new ployers from the people who turned out this vear The contestants for these positions were Bernice Clemente, Elaine Griffen, Ollie De Mott, Elbe Smith, Ruth Thompson, Ella Gleason When the Rock handed its copy to the printer, the girls had been practicing faithfully for a few weeks When the Rock went to press, the probable candidates and schedule for the coming season was as follows SHOT PUTT—William Cornell, Walter Geery, John Anderson, Joseph Wipfler DASHES—Robert Wilson, Andrew Dyke.

TEAM—George Young, William Parks, Edgar Schultz, Teddy Kopp, Frank Smith, Oakley Johnson and John McNamara Coach—Mr Langworthy. RIDING CLUB One Tuesday afternoon early in October there appeored in various classrooms students decked in riding breeches. You're right! The riding club had organized and started another year's riding at Hempstead Lake State Park successfully. . . , Under the capable instructions of Lee many of the new inexperienced members learned the essentials of riding Also, by themselves, they learned the art of eating from a mantel and getting other people to pick things up for them after their first few lessons It is the high hopes of all that a Paper Chase which takes some experience, may be conducted successfully before June THE RDCK-I9Z8 GIRLS' FRESHMAN BASKETBALL These young but eoger basketball enthusiasts ployed a series of games with South Side, Lawrence and Freeport They also ployed the winning team in intramural competition Freshman girls who started their passing and shooting career this year were Betty Keyes, Edith Kelly, Phyllis Campbell, Marion Goshen, Marjorie Munson, Lorraine Hermes, Betty Donaldson, and Barbara McDermott HANDBALL Mr Brossman, coach of handball, reported early in April that the Hewlett Beach court was getting vigorous use from the boys out for this spring sport Stephen Burke had been elected manager and had written for games with Baldwin, Lynbrook, Malverne, South Side and Valley Stream Boys who played this season were: Vincent Nalbach, Stephen Burke, James O'Brien, Eugene Tucker, John Glucksman, Cameron Judge, William Meklenburg, John Wardrop, Charles Ullman and Peter McDermott THE RDCK-I9ZB GIRLS' BASEBALL Yippee1 She hit it ' was a familiar shout os it echoed around the field and came back to the ears of the players They pitched, popped and perspired their way through the baseball season as vigorously as any boys' team Those who had the slightest batting urge joined fheir classmates to comoete against the other classes' teams and the girls who survived the tournament were chosen by Miss Rudiger for her varsity The players were Doris Mitchell, pitcher, Eleanor Smith, first base, 0’ive De Mott, catcher, Doris Smith, right field, Doris Kohlus, center field, Elaine Griffen, second base; Eleanor Moore, third base, Ella Gleason, short stop BOYS' BASEBALL With a great many boys competing for positions on our team. Coach Carter in March stated that the probable line up would be as follows: c The pitching probables narrowed down to Arthur Graf, William Magrath, Thomas Moore, Gerard Stafford and Joseph Brown with the other half of the battery being formed from James O'Brien, James Torrance and Eugene Torborg. There was great rivalry among these boys for infield berths: Harold Brown, Joseph Gleason, Edmund Cotter, John Glucksman, Robert Mason, Robert Pastor, Harold Holmes and Eugene Tucker Our fly-chasers or commonly colled daisy pickers had to fight hard for their positions among this array: Saul Robinson, Andrew Dyke, William Cornell, Herbert Frank, Clifford Platt, Cameron Judge and Robert Wilson THE RDCK-I9ZB GIRLS' HOCKEY Our girls showed their fiery tempers during the hockey season, even though they did not come through the victors in all cases. They had on the team this year several veterans and a few outstanding newcomers Speedy Kohlus nearly killed herself making goals Lefty Glea son and Irish Dunn made a strong forward line in themselves, but we well know we couldn't have done without Louise Mains, our only Freshman on the team, and Dolly Doron, that other wing. Eleanor Moore, one of our insides on the forward line, may look calm, but she surely knows how to play hockey. Now let us turn to that strong defensive backfield Although our Captain, Ellie Smith let a few slip by, she took it out on the next one that came along. It was really funny to see Dot and Ellie Smith fight over who should hit the ball, while our Golfer Furey was digging up the turf in her attempt to send it flying. Frances Leahy and Oilie De Mott may seem quiet but the way they damaged the ball made us change our opinion about them. Then there was Sturdy Mitchell, the tom-boy, and Lorraine Kiely, who dares you to pass her. The Baldwin game was our greatest triumph and after that our luck remained. At the Adelphi Tournament, the girls succeeded in scoring to their best advantage. Ellie Smith received honorable mention for her position as center halfback.

THE RDCK-I9ZB FOOTBALL - 1937 The beginning of school in September found East Rockaway with a new Coach, Edward L Carter, and only eight lettermen from the 35 football squad to form a team that was to play for East Rockaway in 1937. The first game that East Rockaway played was at Oceanside where the Orange and Black went down to defeat 12-0. This score wasn't too poor because Oceanside was the Class B champion. In the second game the Junior Varsity won an easy victory over Lynbrooks Junior Varsity. The following week East Rockaway traveled to Oyster Bay where the game ended in a scoreless tie 0-0. The boys were disappointed at this outcome as they had played a good game, but the breaks had been against them The ride home put them in better spirits as they still can tell you. Their next opponent was South Side who was making its first appearance in ten years on the gridiron. East Rockaway took the lead, but the game ended in South Side s favor 19-7. Because of a sleeper the Orange and Black team lost to Long Beach 6-0. The best game of the year was the one with Garden City. The two teams fought every minute of the game, and although Garden City threatened our goal line many times, the boys held them and the contest ended in a tie 6-6. THE LETTERMEN—Captain, Harold Holmes; Bill Cornell; Leonard Terry; Tom Moore; John McNamara; Vincent Nalbach; Bob Mason; Andrew Dyke; James O'Brien; Bob Wilson; Arthur Keefe; Ken Dyer; Eugene Tucker; Cameron Judge; Alfred Lapp, Manager. REST OF THE SQUAD—Herbert Frank; Clifford Platt; Joseph Wipfler; Dewey Munson; Gerard Byrnes; Willard Mullins; Edmund Cotter; George Falkner; Charles Ullman; James Roth-ston; Roger Mackin; Harper West; Martin O'Rourke; Jack Sterrett; Quentin Schneider.

The spirit of a successful season was broken when Tom Moore badly sprained his ankle, Dick Young broke his finger and John Glucksman fell ill with influenza All of these boys were regulars. After a few weeks of defeats by Oceanside, Mepham, Woodmere, and Long Beach, the Rocks were fully recovered, and returned with a winning combination that decidedly defeated by 32-23 the Malverne players who were in second place at the time. With only two more games to play, it was hopeless to end up in any other place but last, and the campaign closed with only one victory. At the close of the season, Tom Moore was elected captain by the Varsity Squad Those who earned their Varsity letter were Captain Tom Moore, James O'Brien, Harold Holmes, Dick Young, John Glucksman, Harold Brown, Bob Wilson and Saul Robinson. James O'Brien carried off the high scoring honors for the season, while Tom Moore and Harold Holmes trailed closely behind.

THE RDCK-I GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year the basketball team was strengthened by such brilliant players from last year's team as Captains Eleanor Smith and Olive DeMott, Evelyn Morano, Ella Gleason, Elaine Griffen, Doris Smith, Doris Kohlus, Doris Mitchell, and Dolly Doron These valiant players were aided immeasurably by the acquisition of several freshman newcomers such as Phyllis Campbell, Edith Kelley, Dolly Hermes, Margie Munson, Betty Jane Keyes and Marian Goshen. They opened their season against Lynbrook, their bitterest rivals, and were defeated 19-11. The next game was against the well experienced Oceanside team which has held the title for nine years. Here the East Rockaway girls were defeated 37-11. For the third time East Rock- away tasted defeat in the hands of Malverne 10-18. East Rockaway girls in their next game were determined to break the ice and the jinx of not being able to win on their home court. They succeeded in subduing Woodmere 16-9. The girls' lost two non-league games to Freeport, an unbeaten team. The climax of the season was the return game with Oceanside. The girls made up their minds that they were not going to lose by a large score although they had no idea of defeating Oceanside East Rockaway led throughout most of the game and the game ended with a tie of 18-18. Malverne defeated East Rockaway in their return game 18-26. The team traveled to Woodmere to play the final game of the season. The Orange and Black played a far better game of basketball than ever before. Losing 19-20, in the final minute of play East Rockaway scored to win the game 21 -20. Of the nine scheduled this year we succeeded in winning 2, tying one and losing the remainder of the games. MANAGERS Betty Craig, Rose Dunn. FORWARDS Eleanor Smith, C.

The work is dull, The class is dreary; I hope I sleep. And feel less weary! —Stephen Burke THE RDCK-ISZB DIARY OF THE GHOST OF THE CLASS OF 1938 Dear Journal: Sept. 10, 19— I am a very sad and lonely ghost tonight. I used to be proud that I was the ghost of the Class of '38 but now I feel that the ghost of the Class of '39 is laughing at me behind my back. I was so happy graduation night that I suppose I did cct a little snobbish to him but he should have the grace to forget it now I guess that you're in the dark about this so I'd better explain. Last night I decided that I would visit my old haunt, the high school, as I wanted to see how it was getting along without me. I know that ghosts shouldn't return but I just had to. I went to sleep in my closet—you can tell I'm getting old because I sleep now instead of haunting,—-and waited anxiously for morning. When it was school time, I boarded the bus and sat near a school girl. One good thing about us ghosts is that we don't have to pay car-fare. I listened to the girl complain about a quiz that wos forth-coming. I felt at home then because I have heard that complaint often and loud. I began to feel at ease then but my mood changed when I reached the school. The first bell had rung and the students had just begun to meander down the hall. I stopped in the vestibule to decide what I missed, Oh yes, where was Stephen Burke eagerly trying to gamble on something with some of the boys? I sighed and climbed the stairs with a little of my spring gone. The upstairs hall seemed different as soon as I reached it and I knew what the change was. There wasn't any Alice Shillito hanging pictures of Tyrone Power in her locker, nor was Jim Goldschmidt there reading poetry to a somewhat un-appreciative audience. After noticing a few more changes I blew—isn't that what ghosts do?—into room 202 and heard a silence where I was used to hearing a chorus in verbs by Mrs. Stone's French III pupils, Margaret Moon, Edith Meagher, Christine Trost, Evelyn Moriarty and Martha Flannery The verbs were named smoothly when before they were said in fits and starts—mostly fits. When Mrs. Stone announced a vocabulary test, I left because I had omitted the study of French when I went to ghost academy. As I was getting weaker I managed to get into the Chemistry Lab. I left it—weak as I was—because Ernest Bernhardi was trying one of his famous experiments. With the aid of my will power and God, I survived until I reached the most uncomfortable chair in the library. That was the one that Tom Moore tried to whittle. As I looked over the library, I noticed the absence of the famous encyclopoedia- autographers, Jim Torrance and Charlie Ullman. The bell rang then so I decided to wander again. I passed 206 and seemed to hear an embarrassed Nat Clark explaining his tardiness to a not-so-embarrassed Mr. Langworthy. That reminded me that I hadn't been to the old homeroom so I struggled down the hall until I reached room 227. Everything was different except Mrs. Stone. She was up in the front of the elongated room saying, I want more quiet, boys and giris. That means you, too, Arthur. Only this time it wasn't Artie Keefe laughing with Jimmy O'Brien over some secret side-splitting joke. That section of the room was too quiet to be natural. There wos a strange silence near the window where I was so used to hearing Vinme Nalback let out one of his soup-curdling roars. It seemed queer, too, not to hear Cameron Judge loudly applauding the virtues of Republican presidents. The aisles seemed dead without Jack Mercer chasing the Courier salesman and trying to press his nickel in her unwilling hand. I resented the presence of a girl at the desk where I was so used to hearing Ella Gleason mocning, Oh, another history test. I stood it as long as I could, then I dragged my weary frame out of the room. I went to the history class but as soon as I heard the too familiar, Take out a piece of paper, I left. I oozed into the study hall. Mr Davison didn't look right without being abused by the mathematical bullies of yester year I could almost hear Dick Young saying, Come on, Coach, stop the noise. I was just able to hobble down to the gym, but I soon left when I heard no voice resembling that of Ev Moriarty's calling out the steps to the Big Apple. That was too much for me to see a calm orderly gym class. By this time of the day I was a pitiful sight. Even the English class made me feel lonely. Miss Gordon was as polite as usual, but that old exasperated note in her voice was gone. This used to come into evidence when she would say, That isn't your seat, John. Mot a trace of it could I find, so I gathered up my sheet- is that what ghosts wear?—and left. ATi, yes, a most pitiful figure. THE RDCK-I9ZB SENIOR AMBITIONS 1. J. Allen—To go through Annapolis. 2.
