East Rockaway High School - Rock Yearbook (East Rockaway, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1965 volume:

FOREWORD A portion of the road of life is behind us; a large unknown avenue awaits our journey. As seniors, we have crossed that part of life’s path which leads us through our high school days. Some sections were lonely and difficult, with great challenges to overcome. Others were wide and friendly, full of the joys of companionship and unforgettable pleasures. We know that this was not merely a road travelled in passing, but rather we realize how the ecstasies, satisfactions and achievements we found along its ways will forever be with us. With fond memories of this “broad and ample road, whose dust is gold and pavement stars,” we present the 1965 ROCK. John Milton 2 DEDICATION '‘Thou wert my guide, philosopher, and friend When only one is shining in the sky.” Franklin Pierce Adams As Seniors, we have produced our final and most lasting contribution to East Rockaway High School, our Yearbook. We proudly dedicate our most prized achievement to Mr. Edward Crowley, our adviser, teacher, and most important of all, friend. Mr. Crowley is a primary component of the Class of 1965. He comforted us during our defeats and triumphed in our successes. He led us through four rewarding years of Rock Rivalry, our Junior Prom, “Soiree Parisienne,” the selection of our class rings, our dances and all those other money-making schemes. It is very difficult to express our sincere gratitude to you, Mr. Crowley, for your genuine interest in everything we have done. You have treated us as individuals, with our own special problems. It has been an honor working with you. We are your class and we thank you. ADMINISTRATION MR. WILLIAM BERG Mr. Berg, in a sense, has progressed with us, for he began his job as principal when we entered high school. He has inspired us with his desire to make our school the best, and we sincerely hope that in some way the Class of 1965 has helped to make this desire a reality. MR. DOUGLAS SACKMAN As Director of Pupil Personnel, Mr. Sackinan performs many necessary services. From student problems to college counsel, from seventh graders to seniors, he assists and befriends all. Mr. Sackinan plays an important role in the smooth running of our school and is a truly fine administrator. MR. FRANK SCHMIDT Mr. Schmidt fills the new position of Dean of Students with the same good humor and ability that he has shown in teaching. Always ready to hear and help students, he gives a new dimension to a new role at East Rockaway High School. JOHN A. RUCKDESCHEL Principal - Centre Avenue School KEVIN L. JUDD Principal • Rhame Avenue School EAST ROCKAWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS EAST ROCKAWAY, N. Y. WILLIAM K. LOUIS Superintendent M. DOUGLAS SACKMAN Director - Pupil Pertonnel High School WILLIAM A. BERG Principal - High School Dear Seniors: Every year this school hopefully sends out into the world a new group of graduates ready for the next phase in their lives. We have done the best we can to make you mentally awake, physically strong and morally straight. While our chief concern has been for your scholastic development, we have also been interested in the development of your total personality. Our prisons are full of bright but dishonest people. Our colleges are attended by many academic grinds who are self-made physical misfits or absolute bores. Many of the successful people in the world outside the classroom were once average students who made up for their limitations by personality development, will power or just plain hard work. In the final analysis, then, all of you have an opportunity to live worthwhile, meaningful lives in the years to come. The kind of person you are or will become still remains a personal decision. If you have neglected your opportunities here, the road will be rougher, but you may still realize your dreams. If you have made maximum use of your opportunities here, the road will be a lot smoother but never easy. Over the years, those of us who have been around a little longer than you, take special joy in learning of your success and happiness when it is attainedj we are saddened when we learn that your path has been darkened by misfortune. After all, you carry away a part of us with you. All of us, here at East Rock-away High School wish you well. Sincerely, William A. Berg Principal WABrms i SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS DR. WILLIAM K. LOUIS In the short time Dr. Louis has been with us, his administration has been distinguished by remarkable accomplishments. The previous apathetic atmosphere has all but disappeared from our school. Through his guidance and regulation East Rockaway High School has made, and shall continue to make, progress in becoming a superior school.

All of our officers spent many hours working for our class and each did an excellent job. The success of bookcover sales, our ‘‘Superstition Hop,” pep rally dances, and other schemes for fun and profit can be accredited to our capable student administration.

The ten faithful runners, under the fine guidance of Coach YVetherell, made an excellent showing for East Rockaway. We hope that through their grueling efforts more boys, accompanied by greater enthusiasm, will be encouraged to participate in Cross Country next year.

John and Barclay hawk thi ball. Playing hard and playing well all the way. the East Rockaway '64-’65 basketball team gained distinction as one of the best in recent school history. The team, although small in height, featured a well-balanced, fast-breaking attack, which provided an 8—4 league record and a trip to the play-offs. The exciting nonleague season, previewing things to come, featured stirring wins over strong Long Beach and Uniondale quintets. Two overwhelming defeats of Malveme, an overtime near-win over a strong Lynbrook five, and double victories over West Hempstead and Roosevelt were the highlights of the league season. All-Section David Rosenthal thrilled fans with his spectacular passing and shooting, and joined with clutch-playing Glenn Schiraldi in a fine backcourt combination. Forwards Tim Blanchette and Mel Combs displayed great versatility in l oth shooting and rebounding, and center John Berwind progressively developed his scoring while leading the team in rebounding. Hal Sutherland, a defensive stalwart, and Paul Longobordi and Barclay Booth, two quick-shooting guards, along with Jim Dever, Mark Brown, and Joe Romero, served as the coach’s dependable substitutes. Mr. Harold Friesleben, as Varsity coach, did an excellent job in guiding the Rocks through the season. His coaching and the players’ skills, added to the wonderful support given the team by the fans, provided East Rockaway with a basketball season that will lorn? be remembered. With an arm and a leg, Paul fights for that rebound. The Rocks converge on the basket.

This year’s Junior Varsity members, as Varsity ballplayers next year, should provide East Rockaway fans with another thrilling basketball season.

HIGHLIGHTS SPRING SEASON DAVID STEVE MEL “Look! Red socks!’’ Lnder new coach Mr. Honig, the 1965 Varsity Baseball team made an impressive showing. Its fine record can be attributed to..the great skills of the players combined into a team effort to produce victory. All-Section catcher Steve Gregorovic and shortstop Dave Rosenthal made up the hub of a well-balanced ball club. Mel Combs, Kevin Kiley, Bob Ness and Henry Soper capably handled the mound chores, while infielders Tootie Cohn and Mitchell Cooperstock, along with outfielders Mark Brown, Bob Sraillie and Warren Healey provided the Rocks with a strong defense. All of the members of the Rock Nine cooperated especially well with CoSfeb Honig, who, in turn, supplied the team with fine leadership. East Rockaway can'5 be proud of its baseball team and can look forward to repeats of this year’s fine squad.

Ginger, a fourteen-year-old girl who joins her high School football team and achieves nation- ■ wide notoriety for herself and her family, is the central character of this entertaining show. The cast and director this year were beset by many problems, such as trees in the living room and other simple annoyances. However, good cooperation, the able direction of Mr. Kirsch, and group interest in the play brought out the best in each of the participants. When opening night arrived, all troubles had been eliminated, and the audience was treated to a commendable production. Tommy Green floors Eddie Davis as Father analyzes the situation. Mr. Kirsch gives last-minute advice.

The Frosh have every right to be proud of Printer’s Ink, one of the finest and most original performances given by Freshmen. Fine music and dancing and a lively script showed the ability of the class in Entrance; they also proved to be strong in art and in cheering. As the comic strip characters came alive for a common purpose, class members awoke to the fact that joint efforts arc necessary to achieve success. By combining a great potential with cooperation, the Class of ’68 cannot fail to enjoy future Rock Rivalry success. SOPHOMORES FIND HAPPINESS WITH SHOWBOAT To the chant of “Senior-Soph-Success” the Class of ’67, with the theme Showboat, was a spirited competitor in this year’s Rock Rivalry. Although the Sophs had difficulty in deciding upon a script, the final performance, complete with horses, jockeys and can-can girls, proved to be delightful. The showboat stand took a well-deserved second place, and the cheerleaders and girls’ volleyball team earned undisputed firsts. With two years still remaining to strive for the cup and with a hard-working and talented class aiming towards it, we Seniors wish our sister class the best of luck.

Finding cooperation and a united effort as fundamental ingredients for successful Rock Rivalry competition, the Juniors realized their potential in many ways. Their first-place entrance, a combination of lively crowd dancing and singing with four bank-breaking mathematicians, wove Rock Rivalry music at its best around an ideal plot. The slot-machine stand, colorful mural, and strong athletic teams were other features of the Juniors’ attempt at bringing Las Vegas to East Rockaway. Although the Class of ’66 did not win the cup, they did not lose at the final bell. As Seniors next year success should lie in their path. 13! SENIORS JOIN WE.

SOIREE The Junior Prom, given in honor of the class of 1964, transformed our gym into an unforgettable Parisian scene. The red and pink setting combined with many authentic French touches gave the evening the special magic of an evening in Paris. Our excitement in attending the prom was matched by the good time we had obtaining and manufacturing all those flowers, “planting” (P a± cf 96£ fite onfo S oouw Pfhutoenne 3k PX n t f tX (P ate of 196 U ay ffisne £ 196 f.£0 PP. 3 1 Pf x zuxzy. 3 . 3 . u ct4fi eon £00 (Z trul o ris r PARISIENNE shrubs and building trellises and brick walls. The finishing touch was the solid bank of flowers which went into making the Eiffel Tower, under which we crowned our aristocracy. Sincere thanks go to the members of the class of 1967 who served, and to all who helped to make Soiree Parisienne a prom long to be remembered. STUDENT EXCHANGE WIDENS OUR HORIZONS R. Smith — President; P. Rubin — Vice-President: J. Yoswein — Secretary. One of our most active organizations, new this year, was the Foreign Exchange Club, under the guidance of Mr. Honig and open to all those students interested in the transfer of ideas and experiences that student exchanges have to offer. Club members, interested in the program whether or not they personally hoped to travel, found the opportunity of playing host to sixteen Latin American delegates for a weekend, running a dance for fun as well as for profit, and undertaking several other projects to be a worthwhile aid in their own development and a boost to student interest at the Rock Pile. Peter Lewis The weekend of February 5,6 and 7 was a memorable one at the Rock Pile as sixteen Latin American students in America through the Open Door Program came to East Rockaway. Living with families in the community, they attended classes on Friday with their American “brothers” and “sisters”. Highlights of the weekend were the assembly program on Friday morning, the basketball game that evening, and the dance on Saturday night, where many of our guests performed dances from their homelands. This interesting and lively group of young people added an impetus to the foreign student program and provided an exciting three days for the entire community. STANDING: G. Butt, A. Ianniello, R.

For several weeks in the late winter we were proud to play host to Great Britain’s delegate to the New York Herald Tribune World Youth Forum, Peter Lewis. Arriving as he did in the middle of Rock Rivalry, Peter saw our school at its most hectic and most exciting time, and even joined in by attending Senior script meetings. Peter’s outgoing personality, witty nature and intelligent outlook made him a popular and welcome addition to our school. CLASS OF CLASS D.A.R. Award.

JiCw- FROM THE EDITORS' DESK When the staff of the ’Sixty-Five ROCK was chosen and two co-editors were selected to fill the former positions of editor-in-chief and assistant, we wondered whether this would lead us down the road to greater efficiency or to greater confusion. Would there be less work for each editor, or would each editor do twice as much work in correcting the “mistakes” of the other? Soon after work began we found that with coopcraion and planning we could accomplish even more than we had originally thought possible. However, editors alone do not make a yearbook; the members of the Senior class did the work—the writing, the art, the typing, the selling—that has gone into the production of the ’Sixty-Five ROCK. Only through this effort of many willing workers could we successfully meet our deadlines with pages of which we can be proud. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the ’Sixty-Five ROCK is the emphasis on artwork. Thom Gleason and his staff, Leanora D’Alessio and Lorraine Esposito, deserve a great deal of credit for their talent and dedication. Thom designed the cover and each of the dividers, as well as planning the format for each section. We often gave this staff overnight assignments; in fact, Leanora did the artwork for 34 senior pages in one weekend. We are proud of their contribution to the yearbook. Eileen Lerman’s literary staff turned in lively and interesting copy. Don Hall, Chuck McAnulla and Billy McGlynn in particular rushed many imaginative articles to the office to meet a deadline. The Senior Write-Up Staff, which resorted to imaginative platitudes when all else failed, included Joe DeMaria, Thom Gleason, Don Hall, Jeri Horowitz, Chuck McAnulla, Billy McGlynn, Rae Smillie, and Helga Wolf. Much work went into keeping the ROCK solvent. Business Manager Connie Sprague was very busy this year, especially while personally conducting the magazine and booster drives. Special thanks go to Ray Smillie, the stalwart of the refreshment stand at home football and baskeball games, and to Rosemary Brennan, Bob Brodsky, Eileen Cornell and Jimmy Shadoff, who helped her when the hordes advanced to buy soda and candy. To be commended for their fine jobs are the photography and typing staffs. Doug Punger, photography editor, and Betsy Patafio arranged for all the photographs for this book, and often saved the day for us with snapshots taken with their own cameras. The mountains of copy were efficiently typed by Maureen Powers and her staff, especially Carol DiGiovanni and Emily Monella, whose typing of those “little white scraps” made the production of the Senior Section so much easier. Our special thanks go to Jeri Horowitz, Production Manager of the Senior Section, who was responsible for 136 activity sheets and write-ups; to Don Hall, our “office boy” who did many jobs requiring intellect in addition to his more menial duties; and to Barbara Baumann, our Production Manager, who, in doing the “dirty work” we hadn’t the time nor the inclination for, was an invaluable aid in the production of the ’Sixty-Five ROCK. Our sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Jerry Honig, advisor to the ROCK. While his policy of letting us solve our own problems taught us much about efficient management, he was always available for advice and for that final proofreading. Lastly, as co-editors, we thank each other for loyalty to the job and for not getting in each other’s way too often. The yearbook is printed; there is nothing more for us to do. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the work that went into it; and we hope that you will save a fond spot in your memory for the Class of ’65 who produced it. 147 WE THANK CAROL STUDIOS FOR PATIENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR HURRIED DEADLINES FOR SAGE ADVICE FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE WHICH MADE THIS BOOK A SUCCESS.
