EX LIBRIS THE ROCK 1939 VOLUME 3 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS EAST ROCKAWAY HIGH SCHOOL EAST ROCKAWAY. LONG ISLAND I' FOREWORD We have chosen for our issue of The Rock the theme of the stars in their courses, for since the world began, men have stood on high hills at nightfall, their faces and their dreams raised to the skies. Yea. as old and as beautiful as the stars themselves are the folk tales of their powers in the evolution of man's destiny. • Men as wicked as Macbeth have whispered to the heavens, Stars hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires: • Men as good as the lowly shepherds watching their flocks near Bethlehem's sacred stable have looked to the silent skies for guidance. • Too, the lore of astrology has fascinated those who would foretell their future in the heavens. Perhaps, the joviality and liveliness of our school days have been fostered by the spirits of Sagittarius and Aquarius. In the days to come, when the years of our youth have passed, we may hope to have the abilities credited to those bom under the stars—the artistry of Taurus, the courage of Aries, the leadership of Leo, and the scientific ingenuity of Capricorn. DEDICATION Amid test tubes and chemicals, you will find East Rockaway's one and only Hermie , as his friends, the students, call him. Sometimes facetious, always genial, here is a man whose brain is alive with the brilliance of a genius and the wit of a jester. Even with a knowledge of five languages—French, German, English, Russian, and Latvian, and a head bursting with scientific matter, our science prof is never prosaic or bookish . • Moments spent with this man are never dull; his personality is so distinctive that we can truthfully say, There s no one like Herm. To the students, he is the humorous professor, never too dignified to object to shouted greetings as he drives along in his Stutz, the car of cars, with his everlasting pipe between his lips. To the faculty, he is the gay tease who answers every question with the remark, I have to work for a living! • For relaxation, this coffee drinking physicist enjoys taking cars apart and reading scientific literature and accounts of the always tense European situation but is not too engrossed in these hobbies to neglect the world of sports. Football has fascinated him since his school years in Troy High School where he was selected as an All-State guard and tackle, and in St. Lawrence University where he was a varsity star. East Rockaway players know that he has continued his devotion to the game for eleven years as a coach who is even obliging enough to act as a human tackling block for prospective football heroes. • And so to Hermie—witty, lovable Hermie—we dedicate this year-book of our school daysl THE ROCK STAFF ART Editor Virginia Rendall Assistants Bernice Clemente George Hickerson Doreen Payne Doris Pearsall BUSINESS Editor Harry Harms Associate Editors Frances Leahy Adele Schreiber Assistants Richard Cartwright Rosalind Elterman Sheila Gallagher William Greis Elaine Griffen Richard judge Frank Matzke Martin Smith LITERARY Editor Florence Bremer Associate Editors Beatrice Katz Elizabeth Peabody Assistants Dorothy Collins William Fleming Everett Hicks Lorraine Kiely Elaine MacDonald Jean Meagher Margaret Morrill June Norris Shirley Solinger John Sterett Janet Walker Robert Wilson Typists Maddalena Daddio Aileen Decker Elaine Griffen Madeline Ludwig Evelyn Morano Elaine Peter Doris Smith Elaine Wood ADVISERS Art Mr. Safford Business Mr. Davison Literary Miss Gordon Typing Miss Barron ADMINISTRATION r ADMINISTRATION EAST ROCKAWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS FAST ROCKAWAY, N.

Your stay has teen a pleasant one both for the younger students and for the faoulty. We cannot glee you any moglo formula for sucoess in life but hope that your aohool experiences will have contributed to some degree toward that end. Not the least of your advantages have been the opportunities to practice independent thinking and to appreciate the value of individual initiative combined with cooperative effort. Another senior class will, of course, assume your position of leadership in the school. You, however, have the satisfaction of knowing that the work of this new group should be more interesting and more fruitful aa a reault of the standards you have set and tha traditions you are handing down.

JOY ★ ★ ★ FACULTY • Anyone who has been quizzed by the pedagogues of East Rockaway knows that they can answer, ask, and explain almost anything. If you are looking for a short cut to the answer to any query such as the number of students in East Rockaway, or the number of trees on the campus, we suggest you go directly tc Mr. Studwell. Everyone does eventually, anyway. However, if time is long, you may quizz members of the faculty individually and we'll wager, you will exit from the encounters, an erudite person. Surely, Mr. Lenz's explanations on how to obtain the maximum in shop results with the minimum of lost digits and broken tools, or Mr. Hermanson's explanations of the home life of the hydra should be sufficient to prove our statement. If these are not enough, we might mention Mr. Davison's often-doubted but quickly proved discussions of how high a ladder will reach on the side of a building if placed so far from, its base. There is no history book that will explain the movements of the Battle of Thermopylae more vividly than can Miss Catterall. Mr. Fordham is the acknowledged expert on explaining the technique of winning contests with hip- Choral Club. Mrs. Schroeder can explain the relations of the shades in the color wheel with amazing facility. Grandpa Snazzy may be famed for frying eggs, but Miss Marjorie Kane not only can fry them but can explain the why’s and wherefore's of food and domestic Mechanics in general. Still not convinced? How about Mr. Hoppen's explanation of elementary science that prepares the neophyte scientists for Mr. Hermanson's ants and plants? As for our business teachers. Miss Barron can explain quite clearly how not to decorate yourself with mimeograph ink 2 ★ ★ ★ FACULTY when you run off a stencil and Mr. Halford how useless your journal will be if you forget to reverse entries. In the world of Algebra, Mrs. Joy can glibly elucidate on the quadratic theorem, and Mrs. Suits on the time A has to use to catch up to B when each is travelling at a different rate of speed. Further proof? That's easy! Listen to Mrs. Stone's explanation of the correct way to order onion soup in French or Miss Mary Kane's outline on how to ask Caesar for a match. So you're weakening, eh? Well, here is some more substantiation. (Whew!) In the lower grade. Mrs. Reilly expertly dishes out gerunds and participles and Mrs. Yetter analyzes the provisions of the Constitution. Though deep green smoke may curl under door jambs and through key holes with a hint of impending disaster, it's only Mr. Langworthy giving forth on the properties of chlorine in chemistry. Coaches Rudiger, Tice, and Carter can explain the fine points of any game right down to the extension of the player's biceps and triceps. The works of the old masters or of Salvator Dali are equally interesting to students of the arts because of Mr. Salford's astute observations. Even the best library is useless unless there is someone to demonstrate ho?v to use it Miss Hickman is such a person; she knows her dictionary and encyclopedias from Aaron to Zeus . To attempt to explain IL Penseroso to a class of seniors whose minds are on Artie Shaw, the World's Fair, and the New York Giants is not ar' easy task but Miss Gordon manages it wonderfully well. If, after digesting the above-suggested knowledge, you feel indisposed, remember. Miss Cruikshank has a supply of medicines and remedies in her white cabinet! 3 DOROTHY B. STONE FRANCES L.

CLUB I CO w CO CO u CO CLASS OF 1939 • Recollections of our days together would be half-hearted without a mental trip back to our grammar school years at Center and Rhame Avenue schools. To those of us who attended Center, the sight of the monument of our childhood brings back a flood of memories, some wistful, humorous, or sad but still typical of every day occurrences. Recalling these days, we find pictures of ourselves not too flattering and a little unbelievable in our present status. • For many of us, our first memories originate in kindergarten where we can faintly visualize a vegetable garden tended by such earnest agriculturists as Edgar Schultz, Dorothy Simonson, and Joseph Gleason. • Our grammar school days on the whole were mostly carefree days marked by such events as the daily mid-day bottle of milk, all-too-short recesses and the advent of home work. JOHN McNAMARA ELAINE GRIFFIN • Several of our most president vice-president amusing incidents were caused by such incorrigibles as Frankie Arnoth, Jimmy Rothston and Alexander Maloney. 1 wonder if we will ever forget the day Frankie Amoth locked the sixth grade door and threw away the key much to the consternation of the principal and janitors who spent fifteen anxious minutes with stubborn skeleton keys. And of course you recall that great lover of aquatic life, Bobby Holmes, cooing kitchie, kitchie at Miss Pease's gold fish? • A familiar grammar school scene was that of those two ambitious girls, Totts Peabody and Janet Walker, vying for the honor of washing the black boards. Similarly fa- 9 miliar was the sight of those three women-haters, Jimmy Rothston, Harvey Columbine, and Mortimer Jewett Husted, pushing fair damsels into the bushes. Need we remind you of the hectic day that Evalyn Jelley heartlessly placed a tack on the substitute teacher's chair while the class breathlessly anticipated the result? ® One very clear memory is the feud between Mildred Nitshke and Elaine Wood over the Beau Brummel of Center Avenue, Herbie Frank, who was hurt in a fight. Both girls wanted to aid our hero so they finally compromised—Mildred applied mercurochrome and Elaine bandaged him with her hanky . Perhaps what we remember best of all was the day William Greis brought an oil can and a screw driver because his desk squeaked and annoyed him! The child is father to the man. o As we of the Rhame Avenue Clan reminisce about our grammar school days, the thought that we must have been some brats is uppermost in our minds. We senior girls blush when we think how stylish we must have looked in our long black gym bloomers with white middy blouses and the inevitable big red bow. Then we are none too proud of the fact that we spent our recesses playing house in the dirt. But, of course, the fact that the boys played cowboys and Indians makes us even. • Doreen Payne, our dramatic star, lacked finesse in those days, for her nervous giggle echoed everything she said. Jackie Sterett was the cause of palpitations of the heart, experienced by the majority of the girls. But the fact that this Romeo's favorite comment on the feminine sex was that all ELAINE WOOD FRANK MATZKE SECRETARY TREASURER girls were silly, made no difference, for he was voted the handsomest in a popularity contest. Bobbie Wilson was voted most popular. The feminine trio consisting of Evelyn Morano, Bernice Clemente and Elaine Griffen was probably the cause for the boys' early interest in coming to school with their hair slicked back and their suits neatly pressed. • The feel-sorry-for-dumb-animals instinct showed itself in our sympathetic little hearts the day we took it upon ourselves to go down to the creek during recess to get some killies for an alligator; as a result we came back almost an hour late much to the distress and anxiety of the teacher. Oft remembered with great amusement is Everett Hick's chewing gum incident. It seems that Everett’s passion for chewing gum was too much for Mrs. Flint. After warning him against the desecrations of this evil, she decided to use other tactics so she made Everett chew about six sticks of gum at once. • Oh, days of jumping rope and hop scotch, marbles and tree-climbing, how far away and yet how pleasant you seem! • • Turning from thoughts of grammar school, how can we forget those riotous days we spent in old Woods Avenue ! Remember that leaky roof, those squeaking stairs, and the old bell that pealed each morning to warn us to hurry! Remember how at eight o'clock on snowy mornings we waited for the bell to tell us that there would be no school! And how we prayed for snow! Days on which we went to Center for gym classes were momentous, for most of us scrambled to reach the basketballs and parallel bars first; of course, a few always lagged behind, hoping to miss a few minutes of class. The real stampede came, however, on assembly days when the student body moved en masse to Center except for our vagrant comrades who tried to leave for parts unknown by way of the railroad tracks. • In the eighth grade we started learning the etiquette of modem dancing under Miss Barron’s instruction. About this time, too, some of the boys under the leadership of Bobbie Keith and Jack Nordine started an epidemic of covering the girls' desks with caterpillars. Speaking of Bobbie Keith reminds us of his two Mexican fleas that appeared in the open one day in Mr. Langworthy s math class. • Our memories go on in this disconnected vein, as we recall June Kucken’s automobile accident and the resultant change of our classes from the second floor to the first, so that she wouldn't have to hobble upstairs. Pictures of the typing room as it gradually became a swamp on rainy days fill our minds as well as visions of our first rally at the Eternal Field when we had a wild snake-dance from the bonfire in the field, through the village, to Woods Avenue. • When the time came to move into the new school on Ocean Avenue, we swaggered about, proudly comparing our new edifice with every other one on Long Island, to the detriment of all competitors. When we were the first class to graduate from junior high in the new school, conceit was our most noticeable characteristic. • As sophomores, juniors, and seniors, we have had typical carefree, light-hearted student lives colored by many gay times. In Rock Rivalry we started off as sailors of the fleet during our first year, changed to capering circus characters in our second, and found our childhood again as dolls in a toy shop, in this, our last year. Our school lives, in general, have become more interesting and more diverting as we have been given more responsibility in running social and recreational affairs. Our growth might be likened to the change that has come over the parking field which used to be a barren ground but is now interesting with gay jaloppies . • Since the pages that follow picture in serious and humorous details the important events of our lives this year, we conclude this account of our younger years with the hope that our future lives will hold as much of comradeship and exploration in new fields. 10 ★ ★★★★★ FRANK BERKOWITZ Ambitious Frank, we think, could sell college textbook to six-day-old babies, judging from his success as a Courier and ticket salosman. and as an arguer in class discussions. His mind, howovor. is not purely practical for ho lakes pari in all school musical sessions, and even can be hoard whistling Shortnin' Broad'' as ho podals his bicycle on East Rockaway’s streets. • Boys' Gloo Club 2 3; Choral Club 2 3 4; Dramatic Club 12 3 4; Courier 12 3 4; Soccer 2; Traffic Squad 4; ' Elmer'' I; The Queen s Husband 2; The Mikado 3; The Gondoliers” 2; H.M.S.

Sh© may be in Miss Cattorall's room in a deep conference about the leading editorial for the next issue of The Courier, or in the library industriously fulfilling her library club duties and at the same time furtively reading snatches of some favorite book. Or perhaps she is rehearsing for a play, or serving tea, or dancing in the gym—wherever she is, she stands out because of her charm and executive ability. • Courier ! 2 3 4; Editor-in-Chief 3 4; Lalin Club 12 3 4; Treasurer 4; French Club 2 3 4 Dramatic Club 1 2 3 4; Secretary 4; Hi Y 2 3 4.

BERNICE CLEMENTE The name Bernice Clemente stirs thoughts of an artistic person who highlights her natural charm with an enviable taste in clothes. Tho Boauty of Rhame Avenue , as she was called in other years, has not fallen from her poak of popularity, nor has she allowed admiration to spoil her. Going to first-run pictures in the city, riding horseback at Hempstead, and summering in Vermont are some of her particular pleasures. • Dramatic Club President 1; Dancing Club 1; Riding Club 1 2 3 4; Hockey 1 2.

PLATON GOUTAS Good-natured Platon has a keen mind that understands the intricacies of aeronautical terms.

MRS. JOY 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This idiom was firmly advocated by us, the sophomores, who, in addition to studying, have had our share of good times. The year literally started with a bang when pictures of some of our classmates, dovotoos of Doanna Durbin, appoarod in tho popular magazine, Life. Tho months haslonod by with almost unboliovablo swiftness and then came the one great worry of school life -examinations. Many of us burned the midnight oils trying to absorb every possible bit of knowledge. Others wont on as usual, trusting their brain power and good luck. After this shadow had been eliminated, we turned to thoughts of and plans for Rock Rivalry. Our committees labored industriously on our chosen topic, The Far East and finally the gala occasion arrived. Voted second in the whole competition by the judges, we tied with the seniors in murals and basketball games, placed first in our cheering, and in points for extra performance. Jungles and oriental scones lingered in our minds for days after the event. When the excitement all too quickly subsided, spring fever seized us. and wo could think only of cool water, sunburn oil. and the World's Fair. We remalnod in this wistful attitude until June when tho usual cramming lor examinations began again. This year has indeed been a happy ono with many ploasant and humorous momorios. Next year we, the sophomores, will be full-fledged juniors, well on the way to graduation, but our first year in senior high will never be forgotten. Happily yours.

Perhaps you have wondered who was responsible for this sage advice, '.oaping at you Irom conspicuous spots in the halls. After deciding that tho students needed a few lessons in safety, we enlisted the aid of the art department in conducting a campaign via postors. Not having noticed any oxcoss of brokon and bandaged limbs, wo dare to hopo that our campaign was successful. Wednesday, rather than Monday, is blue day for traffic offenders who are brought before the court. The culprits aro lined up against the wall, and asked, Individually, the nature of their offense. Then Judge Matzke sternly admonishes each as to the error of his ways, and patiently explains how and why he should mind them The offender is then given an opportunity to speak for himself. The following are samples of what we have found in our suggestion boxes, provided for the use of students who feel a need for improvements in school: We, the boys of the East Rockaway High School, think that the boys' room should be equipped with hot water. Doar Advlco to tho Lovolorn: My bost girl friend has stolon my boat boy friend. What shall I do? All suggestions rocoivod have not been ridiculous, however. Those of a more aorious nature have been given due consideration, and somo havo been followed. At our traditional popular songs assembly, tho tunes ranged in tempo and sentiment from Hold Tight to Deep Purple . This tradition seems to be very popular among both students and faculty. In this, our most activo year, we have had general supervision of Rock Rivalry. Our most difficult problem was deciding whether the freshman and senior themes were too similar. As a result of this and other problems, we drew up a set of rules for Rock Rivalry which will be followed in future years. 35 Your Representatives, THE STUDENT COUNCIL NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Vice-President...I'.'......VIRGHNIA RENDALL Adviser...............MR.

So well had the secret been guarded that most of us did not even know of the formation of the chapter, much loss mat wo w to be members.

Amidst fair weather and calm, we of the Choral Club docked the H. M. S. Pinafore at One Bell with Henry Gerberding commanding the boat, ably supported by the rough and roady mariners, Gerald Farrell, Bill Tuohy, and Norman Yeakoy. While the crew scrubbed decks, and holstod and tackod sails, Marion Willms successfully and sweetly carried on her flirtation with Gerald Farrell, enviously watched by George Beeck. Noteworthy musical attractions were the singing of 1 m Called Little Buttercup ” by the flower saleswoman, Doris Pearsall; the villainous vocalising of Bill Tuohy as Dead-Eye Dick ; and the chiming in of Adole Schreiber as devoted Cousin Hebe, the lady who chanted and his cousins, and his sisters, and his Aunts! On the big night all was ship-shape. One unforgettable sight was George Beock, resplendent in the attire of an admiral, strutting (in rather decrepit fashion) about the stage singing. 37 Whon I was a lad I sorvod a torm. As office boy to an attorney's firm, I cleaned up the windows, I swept the floor. And I polished up the handle of the big front door. 1 polished up the handle so carefully, That now I am the ruler of the Queen's Navy! Take heed, all you ambitious youth who aspire to the admiralty! Such rousing songs as I am the Captain of the Pinafore and I'm the Monarch of the City,” and such mysterious melodies as The Hours Creep on Apace prevented the audience from reaching even the first stages of seasickness.

In October, we were hostesses to the Nassau-Suffolk Area Council whon wo helped mako the plans for the yoar.

HALFORD To tho Student Body, After several years of thinking only of entertaining ourselves, we decided this year to assume a social responsibility by cooperating with the Save the Children Fund . If you will remember, daily broadcasts over the public address system reminded you of the hardships of tho needy living in sordid poverty in tho mountainous regions of tho Southern United States. So eagor were you of tho East Rockaway schools to share your comforts with these underprivileged childron that we not only filled our allotted twenty bags with clothing but also nineteen additional bags with clothing and one with books. Fired by our success in this humanitarian undertaking, which was headed by Philip Rosenholtz, we have worked to build up a substantial treasury. Our April card party given jointly with tho Girls’ Hi-Y. our sister organization, gavo us a solid start. Sincerely yours, EDWARD MEEHAN. Secretary 38 ORCHESTRA Director......................MR. FORDHAM Dear Music Lovers. For the past year, the members of the orchestra have been rehearsing earnestly every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 8:00 o'clock until 9:10. Edward Meehan. June Kuckens, Richard Cartwright, Doris Pearsall, and Henry Gerberd ing, are among the soniors who aro considered old timers in this organization. The orchostra appoarod in tho annual Spring Concert givon by tho music department of East Rockaway High. It played several selections and played them well. We have one member in our organization who is kept very busy at ovory rehoar-sal. for. ho plays tho viola for a while, thon suddenly switchos to tho piccolo. Aftor a short time, he quickly changes back again to the viola. This marvel is Norman Yoakey. a freshman! This year, the orchestra was honored by having tho opportunity to appear on one of the graduation programs. Everyone in tho audience agreed that this organization is growing both in number and perfection. Melodically yours, THE ORCHESTRA 39 —‘ CHORUS Director ........................MR. FORDHAM Dear Harmony-lovers. WATCH YOUR RELEASES—DON'T FADE AWAY! This is on© of the many familiar phrases that the chorus members hear Mr. Fordham say at their rehearsals. This year we were rated first in our class at the Long Island competition. and second at the state finals at Amsterdam. Hats were tossed in the air and shouts let loose when we heard this wonderful news! In November, wo gave our annual operetta production. This year. Mr. Fordham chose Gilbert and Sullivan's Pinafore . There was a contest among the chorus members to see who could sell the most tickets for the Spring Concert (1938) and Pinafore : for we had to raise enough money to buy our chorus robes. The contest winners received their awards, and we wore cur robes for the first time at the Christmas Concert, at which the chorus was featured. In March, an octette chosen from the chorus was taken to Garden City to sing in a chorus of two hundred and fifty voices under the direction of Petor Wilhousky, the diroctor of vocal music of the Now York City schools. This was indeed a great opportunity, and these members profited by the experience. Our Spring Concert, this year, was again a musical event with all honor going to Mr. Fordham who gives us his fine abilities as a musician and the greater part of his waking hours that wo may loarn to express the music that is in us. Harmoniously yours, THE CHORUS BAND Director MR. FORDHAM Dear Listeners, KEEP TOGETHER—WATCH ME! says Mr. Fordham as he leads the band. Our band this year has had qreat ambition, meeting every Monday, V ednesday, and Friday morning from 8:00 o'clock until 9:10. Perhaps the success of this year’s football team was duo in part to the band, for wo played with spirit for each game, and led them on to victory. The band appeared on the Christmas program and featured a trumpet solo by Edward Moehan of Cantiquo do Noel . Tho next important ovont for our organization was the visit to Riverhead, whoro many Long Island schools woro represented. This is the first year that the band has been sent to this conference, and wo played only for criticism. Before going, however, wo had tho experience of playing at the Criterion Theatre before a large audience. The members liked this very much, for we were permitted to stay to see the picture. The next big event for us was the annual Spring Concert given by the musical organizations of our school. The enthusiastic applause of the audiono© made us feel that we had done our share well. One of the many humorous experiences of our band occurred when we played at tho elementary school assembly with the chorus; tho porcussion section failed to appear at tho appointed time. The chorus began to sing and then, in the middle of the program, a great rattling and banging noise was heard; when the chorus had finished singing, the drums and cymbals were brought in, causing a great deal of disturbance. In June, the band helped furnish music for one of the graduation exercises, and we are all looking forward to doing even better work in 1940. Marchlngly yours. THE BAND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DRAMATIC Dear Seniors. What shall we do when you leave? When Johnny Mac no longer presides or Shirley Solinger collects dues? When Jim Rothston. John Shady, and Cliffy Platt no longer write and present original skits? When there is no Richard Cartwright or Floronco Bremer to play character rolos? Anyway, tears and lamentations aside, we’ve had a good year from pantomimes in Septombor to our big production in March and our one-act in May. Not all talent has been shown by the seniors, however, for thinking bade, we remember Rosalind Tappan's amusing pantomimo of a movie goer, Betty Striker’s monologuo of a young girl who had won the sweepstakes, and the Barbara McDermott—Kathleen Smith scene from Alico-in-Wonderland.” Three juniors, too. stand out for a tender sceno from Quality Shoot - -Botty Decker. Marjorie Munson, and Marjorie Licari. No list of recollections could bo comploto without a mention of Cliffy Platt's soliloquy as a young boy trying to get up courage to ask his girl to the movies and Dewey Munson's initial appearance on the stage as the dying soldier in a scene from Journey's End. Early in the fall, four carloads of us traveled to Adelphi to seo the dross rehearsal of James M. Barrio's play. A Kiss for Clndorolla. After the performance PT TTR President.............JOHN McNAMARA Treasurer SHIRLEY SOLINGER OLiUU Vice President FRANK MATZKE Adviser ........................ MISS GORDON Secretary ... FLORENCE BREMER the chaperones had a difficult timo persuading us to corns home. Adelphi actresses are gracious and attractive! Our meetings in Room 110 have been lively especially when pledges have been requested to be the first to demonstrate new stage exorcises and movements and when otherwise dignified members have made motions during the business meetings with lollypops in their mouths. Our big play as everyone knows was The Royal Family” by Georgo Kaufman and Edna Forber. and our assembly play Moonshine by Arthur Hopkins. Possibly everyone does not know that wo gavo Tho Clod , a one ad drama by Lewis Beach, at tho May Parent Toachor’s meeting and at tho Nassau County Dramatic Toumamont at Lawrence High School. On May 27, we saw Frederic March and Florence Qdridge in The American Way at the Center Theatre in New York, and on May 29 invited our friends to a beach party at Point Lookout. Dramatically yours, FLORENCE BREMER. Secretary 41 THE ROYAL FAMILY Dear Thoator goers. Thu is our way of thanking you for your support of 'The Royal Family and of lotting you know how much fun wo had doing it. Our success we credit to Miss Gordon, who has the gift of getting a group to work without their realizing it. Sho not only played the part of our Guardian Angel but also our benefactress as well, bringing cupcakes and coffee to one rehearsal, and dixie cups for the whole gang to another. At tho first rehearsal sho initiated us by giving the screech commonly known as tho Gordon Banshoo Wail. Almost immediately wo had troublo with John Shady who is Scene Stealer No. 1. but he made amends by baking a cocoanut cake and bringing it to rehearsal. At about the same time the feud started among Johnny Mac. Doreen, and Flo about the allotment of cuss words: Flo emerged triumphant with one hell . Although in classes Ev Hicks has a hard time keeping quiet, at rehearsals Miss Gordon and fifteen assistants tried to mako him speak so that h could be hoard boyond tho footlights. Bill Grois mad© our trying to move about on tho stag© vory interesting: his head and camera kopt popping out from uider a rug or from behind a chair of sofa as he tried to get angle shots. About two weeks before the play was to go on, we began to wonder where wo were going to got the necessary livestock: a monkoy. dog. and parrot. When wo thought wo woro so euro In the promise of a monkoy, tho nows came that death had taken our potontial actor. A week before the play Mr. Cartwright of the New York stage came to give us pointers from his professional experience. Perhaps these suggestions may have sustained us during the matinoe for the grade schools. Dodging erasers, spit balls, and miscellaneous mlssilos kopt us wide awako. Tho play certainly oxcitod our audionco if it didn't interest them, for they started chooring about fifteen minutes before curtain time and stopped only during acts at which time they either played leap frog or tag with the ushers. When, in the second act, Tony in a fit of anger smashed an ash tray, our audience promptly picked up what pieces were scattered over the auditorium and showered a bowildorod cast with a barrage of brokon china. After tho ordoal of the matinoo, we woro not anticipating tho receptive attention you gavo us in the evening, and thus were oven more grateful. Everyone backstage was muttering in delighted whispers, Isn't the audience grand? We hope that you will give the Class of ’40 as much support as you gave us. Crazily yours. THE CAVENDISH FAMILY. FRIENDS. AND RETAINERS 42 ROCK RIVALRY Everyone acknowledges that the mad, oxcitomont-pervaded night of Rock Rivalry Is tho epochal moment of the year, for all latont spirit of loyalty for class and school bursts forth. Observers on the night of March 31 were diverted for many minutes merely looking at the imaginative murals. The seniors had resurrected the Toymaker of Nuremberg surrounded by his hobby horse, Charlio McCarthy doll, toy soldiers, tops, Jack-ln-tho-box and long-eared Eastor rabbits to work their childish charms on tho hoarts of the beholder and the judges. The juniors had traveled to Treasure Island for stately galleons. Old John Silvor with his famous peg leg. and sundry dangerous looking pirates digging for loot under the direc tion of the villainous Captain Kidd resplendent in crimson sash and earrings. Sophomores had Invaded the eastern country of Persia for spirited scenes from jungle life painted in bold, glowing shades of purplos and reds. Each figure in tho mural soemed leaping with life: the savage tiger springing at the elephant, bearer of soldiers, the lancer in a scarlot uniform and striped red and yellow turban, and the magnificent blue black horse, mount of the lancer. Surrounded by such skillful paintings, one might have expected the freshmen's to seem inane in comparison but no one could suppress a glance of reminiscent pleasure at the scenes from Mother Goose. Jack Bo Nimble, an appealing little figure in his striped bathrobe, was caught at a position just midway in his excursion over tho oandlostick. Silhouottoa of othor Mother Goose characters bordered the mural. When the opening signal was given, the freshmen appeared through the pages of a Mother Goose Book. Every beloved character from the old rhymes jumped out. even King Cole and his fiddlers three, a microscopic little girl of 43 four dressed as Little Bo Poop, Old Mothor Hubbard, with her robust looking dog. and The Old Woman in the Shoe, followed by her small ragamuffin children. After the freshmen's entrance, the spectators were caught unaware by the magnificent oriental entourage of the sophomores. A lordly maharajah was borne aloft by four brownskinned, tuxbaned Elastomers, while dancing for his pleasure were sophomore maidens in pastol veils and Persian trousors. Ralph Roid squatting cross-logged on a bod of nails provokod laughter in his imitation of Mahatma Gandhi. When the senior toyland parade entered. Ross Dunn, dressed in a flannel night gown and bonnet, and pushed in a carriage by Madeline Ludwig, her negro mammy, created most of the amusement. Bobby Wilson and Peggy Dunn were paired off as Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann. Alter the group had reached the senior section. Tiny Muller tapped as Adole Schreibor playod her accordion. With the spectacular parades over, the multitude on the bleachers settled down to view the twelve basketball games. Freshmen played in baby dresses of red and black; sophomores, in oriental bodices and trousers of sheer, pastel material; seniors, in Alpine blue peasant dresses; and Juniors in pirate gear of black shorts, green blouses, and yellow headbands. The tournamont was won by senior girls in first place with sophomoros in second and sophomore boys in first place with seniors in second. Anyone who was not too surfeited with excitement to want food, could satisfy himself while waiting for the ludges' decision. When the moment came, the gymnasium was a hushed place as Frank Matzke presented the coveted cup to—The Seniors! And thus ended another rosplondont hilarious Rock Rivalry. YE OLDE BACHELORS President ROBERT MASON Secretary FRANK MATZKE Vice President......JOHN SHADY Adviser MISS MARJORIE KANE Greetings! How many ol you can wash and block sweaters, press ties and suits, and run a sewing machine? Furthermore, how many can make a dashing plaid shirt that is both wearable and fashionable? We, the Bachelors can! Last autumn sceptics had doubts about our qood intentions, but we believe wo have tried to live up to the ideals we set for ourselves: to become more cultivated gentlemen, to fit ourselves to take over a household in an emergency, to have a better understanding of the tasks of a homemaker, and to prepare ourselves for a cooperative part in our future homes. Our two important affairs of the year have been a picnic at Belmont State Park during Easter vacation, and a tea for the faculty in March. Judging from tho contontod oxprossions on the faces of our guests as they munched our sandwiches and cakos, we believe they enjoyed themselves. Y e did. anyway! All in all, we say the life of a bachelor is not so bad but we're not sure that we're bound to stay misogynists forever. (Mason found that word.) According to Mrs. Schroedor's response to our invitations, which we are quoting, our chances aren't too bad: With groatost ploasuro I accept Ye Bachelors' invitation to tea; But I’m willing to bet, that, since you can cook— You'll never Bachelors be!

The girls wore boys' pants and the boys wore smocks and both carried around palettes on which they had to got one hundred autographs. The biggest event of tho year was a hobby show whore hobbles from knick knacks to tapostrios wore exhibited. Mrs. Studwoll cxhlbitod old )ewolry which had very interesting histories; Miss Hickman and Catherine O'Rogan hod a fine collodion of foreign dolls; the Rendall family showod a collodion of animals which they colled throughout the year and put under their Christmas tree. The collodion of strange photographs were William Greis'; he even had photos of soapsuds and grains of salt. That weird collection of grave stone tracings by Mr. Safford was very amusing.

This year wo have been moro air-minded than ever, because we havo had the unusual chanoe of tho tutolago of Mr. Lonz and of Lioutonant Scherer, Associate Editor of Mechanix Illustrated Magazine. In addition, we have joined the National Aeronautical Association and have sponsored contests under their rules. Our first competition took place in November at the Marion Street School. Because of tho violence of the wind and the trickness of the air currents, no records were set, but Harper West placed first and Jay Waldron, a close second. Como to ono of our contests, all you who smile as wo talk of the future of commercial aviation and recount the exploits of Admiral Byrd and the Lind berghs, and you, too, will submit to tho fascination of the air ways.

Secretary GIRLS' SHOP CLUB Adviser ............................ MR. LENZ Dear Students Who Know Not the Delights of Shop! One morning oarly in September, we thronged the hall outside the shop, demanding admittance to the lathes and saws. Mr. Lenz was so porturbed by the hordes of females that he called for help. After our class was organized, w© settled down to learn how to make objects of wood and metal. No longor did wo wonder what a jig-saw or drill-pross was! Wo know! Anyono who doubts that wo woro attentive is invited to see the whatnot” made by Ailoen Decker or the bread board and pipe rack fashioned by Margaret Morrill. Of course, we don't believe in working too hurriedly. Florence Bremor in April was still working on a shelf she had started in September, and Ruth Combs was bowaillng a bracelet that broko in two after sho had worked months polishing it. At least, wo have paradod no bruised thumb or broken fingers. We know, as one of the masculine shop workers doesn't seem to, that you will break a bone in your hand if you hit it with a heavy hammer.

Doubtless you have heard these words before; to us they are as familiar as our own names. We are the people whom you have seen gliding noiselessly about the library, arranging shelves, signing passes, and charging books. V hen you rushed distractedly into the library, inquiring breathlessly. Whore is that history book you know—the little skinny one with big print? it was one of us who patiently locatod it for you. Who of us can forget our play Non fiction Party , in which Nancy Keller, representing Eva La Gallienne said, No one ever looks at me. If they'd only give me a chance: I'm sure they'd like me. The play did convince us that if we would only look beyond the cover of a non-fiction book, we might find something interesting. The social highlights of the year were a party givon by Malverne Library Club for us and our party for thorn. The attractive book onds on the desk in the library are a gift from the Malverne Library Club. Bookishly yours. THE LIBRARY CLUB 47 Advisor ... MISS RUDIGER CHEERLEADERS Dear Hoarse Hoilerers, In the past year, our group has don© much to enliven East Rockaway's sports events by relaying oncouragoinent and praise to the teams. In our striking costumos of orango volvot ovorall culottes and dusky black blouses, you must admit that w© havo added color and animation to our sports contests. Our movomonts and cheers which have been improved during the year with the Influence of the Jitterbug craze , and Trucking'' and Suzy-Q'lng have invaded the positions oi high popularity that more conservative cheers formerly held. One big feature has been tho acrobatic cheer that was originated and performed by Tiny Muller. You have been amused and entertained by the antics of Betty Striker in her original performance of the hick to hick cheer. We've given you entertainment and led you in praise and encouragement— all we've asked in return has been cooperation. We will miss those seniors who have rahrahrah ©d for the last time but our many improvements this year will goad us on to greater accomplishments in tho future. With a rah rah rah and a sis boom bah, THE CHEERLEADERS RHO GAMMA President OLIVE DE MOTT Secretary ROSE DUNN Treasurer ............................. FRANCES LEAHY Advisers....................MISS RUDIGER and MISS TICE Dear Sport Fans, I am tho most illiterate, the most ignorant, and the most stupid of my race. There is only bone where thoro should bo brain. These words aro invariably associated with tho rank smell of onions, and the mirth provoking sight of tho Rho Gamma pledgees carrying shopping bags and umbrellas, and wearing their hair in sixteen braids tied with white rags. Theso ridiculous actions are merely a part of initiation into our sorority, how-ovor. To become eligible for membership, a girl must first earn a position on an honor team. When wo hoar Fall ini called with just a shad© of timidity instead of in Miss Rudiger's forceful tones we know that one of our members is acting as student leader in one of the girls’ gym classes. We cooperated with the Student Council in directing Rock Rivalry and several of our girls coached Rock Rivalry teams.

Doar Sister Publication. The- Courier, the journalistic triumph of the East Rockaway High School, has attempted the seemingly Impossible task of catering to everyone's tastes this year. For this purpose many new and interesting columns have been introduced, including Nut Shell Biographioo. Tho Forum. Alumni Notos, Gam Diggings, and Mail and Fomail. The sport page shows an improvement over other years, and the humor has decidedly improved by the gradual displacing of slams by humorous personal incidents. Three press conferences were attended by members of the staff on Wednesday. December 7, at Hofstra College, on March 9, 10. and 11. at Columbia University, and on May 3. at Holstra College, where East Rockaway was in charge of tho Ginlc. Throe plcturos have graced the pages of tho paper through tho gonorous efforts of William Grets- -those of Miss Langenus. Mr. Hoppen. and Mr. Lenz. Lively interviews were the result of timid approaches and tactful questions posed to Mrs. Halford. Miss Langenus, Mr. Hoppen and Miss Cruickshank. The Courier performed a real service this year when it provided a medium through which inconsolable lovers were able to pour on their hearts in Tho Advice to the Lovelorn Column. The big event of the year, however, was on Friday, December 16, 1938. when The Courier set a new standard by issuing a six page, five column paper — the first in the journalistic history of East Rockaway. This project was exceeded in immensity by the Rockaway Rivalry program put out by a special committee selected from the staff. A now heading by Roger Mackin adornod tho paper on the March 10 issue. Its main features were lightness and a more pronounced legibility. As far as circulation is concerned, the largest was attained with the six page issue of December and the smallest with the November issue. The Courier thoso words havo been on everyone's lips this year for the aim uppermost in the minds of the staff was to make the East Rockaway High School publication an achievement oi which we may be proud. It cannot be denied that we have taken firm stops in that direction during the year. Journalistically yours, THE COURIER 49 FRENCH CLUB President............................... DOROTHY COLLINS Vice President.......................ELIZABETH PEABODY Secretary................................... JUNE NORRIS Treasurer ROBERT McGOVERN Adviser MRS. STONE Deer Rock Readers , ' Le seance est ouvert” is the password that our happy mootings axo beginning. Our new members showed us their talonts for singing French songs, counting backwards. You should have seen Ann Uddo counting in French replacing every divider of seven by a woof-woof! They went through the usual antics of wearing a rod, white and blue bow and being servants of the other members during school hours. At Christmas timo wo gathorod with the Latin Club for our party, at which wo filled ourselves with goodies, imagining wo woro eating petit fours and eclairs, and danced to the “music of Mrs. Stone . In February. Mr. Edwards and Mr. Beranger spoke about tho French Pavilion at the World's Fair partially in French but comprenons-nous? Je le doute. We learned that the third floor of the pavilion is one of the best places to see the fireworks, but . . . It’s the restaurant floor and the food is plus cher. At another meeting Miss Langenus brought some records on French so that we could tost our skill on French losson numbor one and sing tho French version of songs from Snow Whito and tho Sovon Dwarfs . When our president, Josephine Uddo, left school, wo elected Dorothy Collins lo president for the remainder of the time. Soumiso avoc respect, JUNE NORRIS, Le secretaire HALL COPS Roger Brown Richard Cartwright William Gillies Frank Matzke John McNamara Jack Nehemias Adviser- Miss Barron Jamos Rothston John Shady Edward Sherman Marlin Smith Dear Passers-by, We, of the hall cops, have a wealth of knowledge about human nature as a result of tho oxperioncos wo havo had while fulfilling our duties. Wo are now in full sympathy with tho saying, Pedestrians are funny animals, and, literally, East Rockaway would certainly be able to start a full fledgod menagerie. As hall cops, it is our duty to maintain vigilance and order ovor tho halls. Our tactics must differ in all cases for we havo to contend with those who think the halls, lover's lanes, those who employ tho corridors as a rendezvous to discuss what happened last night, those who think it a moral letdown to be in classes boforo tho last boll rings, and lastly tho individuals who havo to stop and think which is tho right sido. thus making for confusion of thoso in front and in back of thorn. Our work would bo almost a ploasure, though, if all our cases wore of tho latter specimen, but unfortunately our greatest trouble is that of the obstinate person who rofusos to abido by any laws. We will miss those senior boys who have been hall cops and who will soon be saying. Keep to the right” for tho last time. THE HALL OOPS 50 Your Flat-foot Battalion, CO H CO FOOTBALL BULLETIN BOARD • HIGHLIGHTS IN A GREAT SEASON In ©very gamo on Its schedule our flashy Orange and Black eleven put on a spectacular show for the customers. Last minute rallies, brilliant runs, and freak plays woro all part of the exhibition. For sheer drama, tho goal lino stand in tho Manhasset gamo stolo the show. With 40 seconds remaining, Manhasset fought its way to our ono foot lino only to be thrown back by a wave of valiant East Rockaway linesmen as the final whistle blew. The boys will be telling that one to their grandchildren years from now. Perhaps tho most thrilling game on the schedule was our final of the season with Garden City. This was tho perfect finish to a great season. On sheer inspiration alone. East Rockaway's fighting team came from behind to snatch victory from the veritable jaws of defeat and wind up tho season in a blazo of glory. Hampered by injuries and battered by their colossal opponents, tho Orange and Black clad warriors never let up in their quest for victory. Date Opponont Scoro E.R.

GRIDIRON HEROES Although our team in general was a well rounded unit, there were five boys who stood head and shoulders above the rest. These brilliant performers were the finost griddors over to wear tho colors of tho Orange and Black. Cliffy Platt a handsome, blonde senior; Cliff was the bulwark of our granite like team. Ho was honorod with a berth on tho L. I. Press's All-Scholastic Football Team, tho first East Rockaway football player to bo so named. Happy Tucker—our hard driving fullback; Hap was tho work horso of tho team. His open field running and punting proved invaluablo during tho season. Bob Wilson—the speed boy of tho backfield; Bob was a constant throat whenever he carried the ball. After a slow start he came on to finish sixth in the county scoring race. Dewey Munson and Bill Cornell—although hampered by injuries throughout the season, these boys won the respect of their opponents by their vicious blocking and tackling.

Lynbrook. this yoar's South Shore champs, wore the odds on favorite'’ but this did not daunt the East Rockaway boys. It was nip and tuck in the early stages with the Orange and Black leading 13-12 midway in the second quarter only to trail 18 14 at tho hall. Grimly the Rocks held on during the third quarter, and going into the final quartor, tho score stood at 28-25 in Lynbrook's favor. In tho final quartor tho Rocks tirod badly as Lynbrook’s class began to tell, and tho gun sounded with tho score 41-29. The score is not indicative, however. of the tightness of the battle which had the Lynbrook cagers worried at times. In the second encounters with Mopham and Ocoansido respectively, tho Rocks played beautiful bail although they wore nipped at the wire in tho Oceanside fracas. Against Mepham. however, the Orange and Black really applied the pressure to annex their most brilliant victory of an otherwise drab season.

At the initial sack we have Hap Tucker, renowned as a slugger back for his third year. The second base combination will be taken care of by Joe Gleason and Harry Brown, both classy fielders and dependable hitters. The hole at third base should be adequately filled by either Bill Parks or George Faulkner, promising recruits. The outfield is definitely set with the last year's hard hitting trio. Dyke, Cornell, and Robinson returning to the picket line. The veteran righthanders, Bill Magrath and Joe Brown will handle the pitching while Torborg, Miller, and Kopp are vying for the catcher's berth. Baseball is Coach Carter's favorite game, and he can be depended on to develop a team that should win its share of games. 60 BOYS' TRACK TEAM BOYS' BOWLING TEAM • PROPHECY FOR SEASON • The prospects for track this year appear to be rather dull although the boys must be given credit for their efforts in view of the handicaps they face. Lack of proper training fadlitlos hampers tho follows, and what little success they have had in the past has been due to individual determination. In the sprints, the Rocks should be powerful with vetoran Andy Dyke returning to augment tho work of Gerry Goldman, a speedy newcomer. Walter Geery should do well in the quarter, but in the other events we are woefully weak. In the field events, we have an excellent performer in the pole vault and broad jump, namely Hap Tucker. Bill Cornell does a competent Job in the shot put, but thoro is a definite lack of material in the high jump. Likewise, we are lacking in reserves in almost every event plus Ihe fad that many of the baseball players must doublo up in track. • Coach—Mr. Lenz • SCHEDULE Apr. 24 Woodmere vs. E.

RIDING CLUB Manager.....................PHYLLIS CAMPBELL Advisers..........MISS RUDIGER and MISS TICE Dear Tenderfeet, Some day we may be advanced to the class of equestriennes who can jump horses over bars and hedges on a hunt course, but just now most of us are still worrying over getting rhythm in our posting at a trot. At times when the instructor bellows. ' Keep in line and with your partners! , we find ourselves concerned while the horses remain blandly at ease. Not all of us are dubs though, for Virginia Krull. Phyllis Campbell, Margaret Morrill, and Eleanor Edwards have ad- vanced enough to be thinking of trying for the ribbon rosettes in our June show. Aside from the fun of riding with your pals, is the feeling that every true horseman values, the sense of unity and trust between horse and rider. Ask us what we'd like best to do on a crisp autumn or awakening spring day, and we'll be sure to say. Ride Marge (or Lipstick, Kong, Queenie. Happy or whatever mount is the favorite at the moment). In our minds we'll have a picture of the bridle path that follows the lake, passes by the children s carousel, edges the sailboat pond, and twists back to the stables through a cool, shaded stretch of woods. Once a rider, we know we can never forget the thrill of rocking at a fast canter as the clean air and blue sky seem to rush by. Yours in boots and stirrups. THE RIDERS 62 PS O s ID X TO THE CLASS OF '39 We the class of '38 Whisked up the flue of time One year ago come doomsday Send you this valentine. Summer was fresh in Nassau When we botched our last exam And climbed beneath our mortar boards To receive our skin of lamb”. We were given the sheepskins—sure (They were only paper though!) And told with fond back-patting, Go out and make some dough”. In the dusty summer sunshine Twixt Manhattan's canyon walls We visited working relatives For strictly social” calls. All that they could give us When we really needed ice. Was some more back-patting And this bromide of advice: Joe s got a friend who's got a friend Who knows the boss on top. See him Six A.M. on Monday. Say you know his pop.” Joe's comrade's friend wasn't in— No, he wasn't in that day. He was busy sorting cobble-stones For the W. P. A. So take this warning laddie And heed it lassie, too: When ye go a job hunting Wear a padded shoe. For you'll pound the steaming sidewalks From the Battery to Times Square While all the while your yearning To be at Mr. Whalen's Fair. But you'll get that job eventually If you try hard enough. And when the hunt's all over You'll be made of better stuff. So call out loud the name of fortune; Call for her 'till your hoarse. Some day you'll be a millionaire Unless you're not—of course. -WILLIAM STOCK.

PENNYFEATHER'S MANUAL OF CORRECT CORRESPONDENCE A Bread and Butter Letter Dear Missus Jones, Today About four months ago, y'had the pleasure of having me as a guest for a week at your house. I have completely forgot about it till now. I remembered because Ma had roast beef for lunch and I don't like roast beef and that is what you gave me the first night right off. When I got home everyone told me that I looked a wreck. Ma said I looked pail and the change of air musta affected me in the head. I'm sure it musta cause a few days after I got home I started to feel much better. Had a good time at your house. I think I'll spend July and August with you this year even though I did get sick last time with you. Thanks for lettin' me go swimmin' in June. Ma never lets me go till July. I didn't tell you that, did I? It must have slipped my mind. I had some trouble sleeping at your house because the flies were terrible! I'm not used to flies, y'know. Thanks again, and if you come down this way. drop in for a little while (We haven't any extra beds). Yours truly. MARY SENIOR P. S.

A LETTER OF APPLICATION 143 Vi Clam Diggers' Ally East Rockaway Dear Sirs, May 30, 1939 I take my pen in hand to tell you people that I am just the guy you want fer that job that was put in the paper last nite about being an office manager. I am not particularly interested in that kind of job but anything will be better than nothing fer the time being. So may be if I try I'll like it. Who knows?

HARRY HARMS never rode on a train either until last year. Another means of transportation escaped LORRAINE KIELY who never rode on a Fifth Avenue bus. HELEN MAINS has never been in either Radio City or the Empire State Building while VIRGINIA WEISER says she hasn't even seen Radio City. With the exception of New York City, BOBBY HOLMES has never been off Long Island. Lucky MADELINE LUDWIG, along with DOROTHY SIMONSON and OLIVE DEMOTT, never had a permanent wave. Here are a few quotations from our jesters. PETER McDER-MOTT says, quote. I never cowboyed, never got drunk, never smoked; as a matter of fact I never committed any of the vices. I never paid class dues—another vice.” Another quote—from JACK CRAIG. I never got home before three in the morning. P.S. I never got drunk.” Artistic VIRGINIA RENDALL never wore make-up to school. ELIZABETH PEABODY has never plucked her eyebrows. Also she has never been known to come to school minus chewing gum. ROSE DUNN told us, I've never gone out with an Annapolis man. Dam it!” DORIS SMITH had the same idea. Another dam it” is EVERETT HICKS' who laments that he never had a date with a mermaid. Three honest gentlemen confess. HAROLD BROWN never hit a home run while RICHARD CARTWRIGHT never won a contest, while HERBERT FRANK admits he never sang a song on the right key. MADDALENA DADDIO never wrote a fan letter. Not even to Richard Green, Maddelena? Many amusements have been overlooked. DOREEN PAYNE missed the all-age joy of seeing a circus, while JANET WALKER was never thrilled by a ferris wheel and PEGGY DUNN says, I've never gone on a loop-o-plane. (Cause Bob was afraid to go on with me.) FLORENCE BREMER has never done something she always wanted to do—play hookey. FLORENCE also states that she never left for school without thinking she forgot something. FRANCES MULLER boasts she's never been in the jug . How strange! Other boys take heed! CLIFFORD PLATT never broke a date. We can check up on you. Cliff. BOB MASON claims he never ate Post Toasties. Try 'em some day. Bob. DOROTHY COLLINS avoided coffee, tea, and sauerkraut all her life. She says the smell of all three is enough to keep her away. ELAINE MacDONALD tells us she never tried to smoke. We wonder! JOHN SHADY never went steady, never drank or smoked— just a genuine bachelor (as he puts it). ROSALIND ELTERMAN has gone against the old tradition of wearing red flannels. She never wore them—not that we blame her. Here’s a prompt lass who's never been late for school, MARION HULSE. BEATRICE KATZ has taken it easy for she never got up before 10 A.M. in the summer. ELAINE GRIFFEN never was kicked out of class—but there will come a day I MARION WILLMS never went to an East Rockaway baseball game. Wait a minute—she just remembered—she did, once. JUNE NORRIS never saw a falling star without wondering whether she should think someone was dead or if she should make a wish. Also, she states, she never stayed at anyone's house without forgetting something. Never drank champagne? No, says AURENE STEINBERG. Never seen the aquarium? No, says Aurene. FRANK BERKOWITZ declares he never could stay awake in History C. Did you snore, Frank? Here are two hard luck stories. DEWEY MUNSON moans that he never missed getting caught while FRANK MATZKE complains he never got any farther than Jones Beach in his row boat. Better luck soon, boys! Now comes the strangest story ever told. MILDRED NITSKE NEVER HEARD JACK BENNY; in fact she said she didn't even know who he was. You will now be left to ponder over these amazing facts! 70 EXCUSE IT. PLEASE ! Some of the excuses frequently used by our senior class are ones handed down from our illustrious alumni, but most of them are the result of a quick and cornered mind.

Dot Smith to Mrs. Halford I was with Mr. Halford. Bob Wilson (who lives at the end of West Blvd., Bay Park)— I overslept until 6:30; then I had to walk all the way.

Adele Schreiber -It was high tide and I couldn't get out of the house. Bob Mason I missed the train. Jack Craig I got half way to Lynbrook before I remembered that I go to East Rockaway. Evelyn Morano—The brakes on my car slipped. Rose Dunn Johnny didn't call for me. BUI Greis I couldn't find my book bag or my camera. Bob Holmes I was shooting baskets. Doreen Payne We didn't hear the bell ring. Joe Gleason I couldn't get Rosie (Model T) started. 71 Dot Smith I couldn't find Andy or Joe so I had to walk. Marly Smith I was walking to school and my red parka blinded an old man so I had to lead him across the street. Harry Harms My tie was crooked. Dick Cartwright My pants ripped.
