ARISTA EDITORS Carol Darnell, Editor-in-Chief Phyllis George, Managing Editor Joan Gilliar, Copy Editor Peter Houts, Production Manager Erika Selmyer, Business Manager Olga Gajdos, Advertising Manager Anne Barr, Comptroller Great Neck, New York Mr. Herbert L. Gregory Dedication ryiO those students who frequent Room 99, the mechanical drawing room with its high stools and continuous desks, the impressive figure of Mr. Herbert Gregory is symbolic of hard work in the field of practical needs. When Mr. Gregory came to Great Neck in 1921, it was to head the Industrial Arts Department. Since then, in addition to being prominent in school and community life, he is also recognized in the county for being active in the Nassau County Industrial Arts Association, of which he is a past president. Throughout the state Mr. Gregory is noted for serving on and presiding over panels in the Industrial Arts Conferences. During the war he conducted training programs in the evening at Sewanhaka High School for various aircraft companies such as Gruman. Despite his many activities, he still finds time for relaxation. A rod and a reel are among his prized possessions and the catch is usually trout or bass. With pride we dedicate the 1950 Arista to a regular guy. Foreword of the 1950 Arista have come to realize the exceptional op- portunities afforded each student in Great Neck High School. It is not every school that has the fine, high quality adult and student leadership, the wide range of activities in which each student may participate, and the enthusiasm with which each activity is supported. To symbolize the increase in school spirit we present Blazer, our mascot, scampering through classes and activities and nibbling copy sheets. In the pages that follow we have endeavored to bring to you the story of the school year from our press date in '49 to our press date in ’50. BOARD OF EDUCATION: Clockwise—Mr. Bailey, Mr. Larrabec, Mrs. Mellor, Miss Griffen, Mr. Rubin, Mrs. Simmons, Dr. Miller. Gil Golde MEET the Board of Education, those five public minded citizens who give so freely of their time and strength to adjust problems of finance, building, and educational policies. Meet- ing with our superintendent. Dr. Miller every week, the members, Mrs. Charles H. Mellor, Mrs. Dwight M. Simmons, Mr. Max J. Rubin, Mr. Ralph F. Bailey, and Mr. William Larrabec de- termine such policies as the salary’ level, the grant- ing of leaves of absence, and the drawing up of the budget. To the power behind the throne” we express our gratitude.

They have pet peeves, likes and dislikes, and hobbies just like anybody else. It was on such subjects that they made recordings, when they presented early in November, a program entitled Great Neck High School Faculty on the Air in the new, fully equipped broadcasting booth in the tower. When the records were played back, the witty remarks and the sensa- tion of hearing one's own voice provided fun for all. In planning the curriculum, the faculty has en- deavored to include courses which will aid the student in a practical way. The English Department presents electives in special fields of concentration, as do the Industrial Arts and the Home Economics Depart- ments. One of the most important faculty' groups in out school is the Guidance Department, headed by Mr. Everett Woodman. The members of this department meet periodically with each student to discuss par- ticular problems that arise and to help him plan his future in line with his interests, abilities, and needs. A sweltering day in June and our athletic field provides the setting for the annual Senior-Faculty baseball game, a time when the male members of the 10 Miss Barbara Amott Physical Education Mr. Gerald Amyot Social Studies Miss Joan Auer English Mrs. Blanche Baker Latin Mr. James Balassone Science Mr. Karl Billhardt Mathematics Mr. William Black Business Miss May Blake Science Mr. James Blakemore Social Studies Miss Joyce Bolt Home Economics Mr. Harry Booke English Mr. Bernard Boressoff English Mrs. Mildred Bowen Mathematics Mr. Fred Brown T e sting Mr. John Burke Industrial Arts Dr. William Burke Medical Mr. Kenneth Canfield Modern Language Mrs. Mary Carr Science Mr. Earl Chamberlain Physical Education Miss Alice Chisholm English Mr. Erwin Clarke Physical Education Miss Dorothy Colston Social Studies Mr. Roswell Conger Business Mr. Leo Connolly Industrial Arts Miss Louise Crandall Modern Language Mrs. Josephine DeFreitas Social Studies Mr. Gilbert DcLaura Mathematics Mr. Walter Dcming Physical Education Mr. Joseph DeVoe Music Miss Catherine Dreher Health Miss Ruth Duncan Mathematics Mr. David Edgar Social Studies Miss Camilla Edholm English Mr. John Fabrick English Mrs. Agnes Fogg Latin Mr. Arthur Freeman Social Studies Mrs. Constance Gavey Librarian Miss Jean Gildner English Miss Elizabeth Gordon English Mrs. Florence Grady Mathematics Mrs. Marion Guincy Modern Language Mr. Richard Hallahan Recreation Miss Margaret Hanlon Business Miss Martha Harris Mathematics Mrs. Winifred Harting English Miss Alice Haslet Special Class Mr. A.

Miss Slack lakes charge of weigh- ing during the annual physical examinations. faculty can really unlax. This is just one ex- ample of the close cooperation and friendli- ness between the faculty and the student body. For every one of the thirty-odd organiza- tions in the school, there is at least one sponsor but many have more; Junior Players have two, French Club four. These figures do not include the music groups, sports ac- tivities and various committees that are formed during the year. Above all, the faculty has the primary duty of educating the student so that lie may go on from high school well equipped either for learning or independent living. More hours than one realizes are spent at Faculty and committee meetings each month solving problems fundamental to the welfare ol young people and beneficial to our school.

This year we couldn’t get enough of our teach- ers. On January 19th, 1950, the Great Neck Teachers Association presented a Faculty Variety Show, a take off on student life. Few of us realized the latent talent of our teachers. Singers, comedians, instrumentalists, and dramatists graced our stage. As a climax to the show, eight of our loveliest male members of the faculty, decked out in gaily ruffled dresses and bonnets, displayed their shapely limbs in the can-can. The show was a success as we well remember the less serious side of our faculty. 14 Mrs. Marjorie Hubbard Modern Language Mrs. Adele Hunter Art Mr. Raymond Hutchinson Science Mr. Herbert Laise English Mrs. Anne Love Home Econo mice Mr. Charles Luminatti Visual Aids Mr. Charles Maier Social Studies Mr. John McGrath Industrial Arts Mr. Paul Meredith Mathematics Mr. Milton Meyers Social Studies Miss Leora Murphy Physical Education Mr. George Noyes Science Miss Marion O'Connor English M iss Alice Owen Social Studies Miss Mary Patton Guidance Miss Catherine Paulsen Social Studies Miss Foye Perry Mathematics Mr. Arnold Profeta Guidance Mr. Howard Pruning Music Mrs. Marion Reading Health Miss Ruth Redding Modern Language Mr. E.

Lilting music by Harry Lynn, Hansel and Gretel houses, and a beautiful rainbow all helped to make the gym a veritable fairyland. In hushed expectancy Ted Blaschke, then president of the class, announced that Judy Jones and Roger Martin had been selected Queen and King of the Prom. Following the coronation, the King and Queen took their places on the beautifully decorated throne to watch the entertainment which was provided by the Sophomores. In September, Senior Class officers were selected in a very close election. Those chosen to lead the class were Lonny Farrar, president; Joan Bowin, vice-president; Joe Steinberg, treasurer; and Lyn Brinkley, secretary. An im- portant part of class organization is the drive for dues in which many Senior homerooms showed 100% sup- port. In December the Seniors initiated the custom of having a Senior break- fast, inviting Herman Wouk, author, to speak, and managing to consume not only 270 hearty orders of bacon and eggs, but also the first two periods of the day. Then later on in February in place of the traditional Junior- Senior competition, the Seniors planned their own party which was scheduled to be held at the Youth Center. None of this interfered with the usual plans tor the annual Senior outing to Jones Beach or the Senior Prom designed to overshadow all previous proms. The abundance of energy and finesse with which the Class of '50 carried out all their activities exemplifies the unity and spirit of the class. SECRETARY: L. BRINKLEY VICE-PRESIDENT: J.

BLAZER There are not many schools that have the privilege of claiming a mascot, but we do. Blazer has been with us for two seasons, performing tricks and increasing school spirit. As a tribute to our mascot we present our Blazer cheer. Blazer's our mascot, she's okay. Blazer s our mascot, she's here to stay. She's our pep and she's our might. So come on Great Neck, show your fight. Most Popular Girl—Leslie Van Nostrand Leslie is pert and friendly, from her bright smile to her even brighter argyles. Her boundless vitality and under- standing nature justify her now official title. What Les needs is a private secretary.

This is the class which gave the first Sophomore Hop in the history of Great Neck High School. The gay streamers and Maypoles made the dance, A Minute of May, a memorable one. Spotlighted during the evening of April 30, 1948, were Betsy Knapp and Bobby Schrift singing, and also Bob Degan, Sophomore Class President, who introduced other interesting entertainment. The popular vote for class officers of the Junior Class went to Doug Hobbs, president; Baynham Campbell, vice-president; Ellen Unger- leider, secretary; and Eric Schwartz, treasurer. Members of the Junior Council, who represent the smallest class to graduate from G. N. H. S., were chosen for their ability to do the behind the scenes” planning. (Refer to picture for council members.) A number of the things which kept the sponsor, Mr. Singer, busy during the current year were the plans for the Junior Prom slated for May 13th, the coming of the class rings which would unite them with the deep thrill and personal pride of class membership, and the newly instituted class picnic scheduled for the spring.

IN the month of January, 1950, the largest soph- omore class ever in Great Neck High School was organized under the sponsorship ot Miss Margaret Hanlon. The class of 1952 chose Jim Larrimore as president, Paul Cohen as vice-president, Diane Barber as secretary, and Jim Dorsey as treasurer. This class was organized to acquaint the stu- dents with each other and the duties and obliga- tions of all the members of the organization. Their plans for the year consisted of an annual Spring Dance, a picnic, and informal get-togethers. As a result, they made the year more enjoyable and profitable for each and every’ member. 55 PUBLICATIONS G. O. SCHOOL SERVICE GOVERNMENT HOBBY CLUBS DRAMA MUSIC YOUTH CENTER JUNIOR HIGH EARLY in the spring of '49 the members of the Arista Training Group, which meets every Monday and Thursday third period, began writing copy on all special events and preparing layout for the 1950 book. Then one afternoon in June the editors of last year voted for the new Editor-in-Chief. Carol Dar- nell was chosen Editor and she in turn with the help of the sponsors. Miss Edholm—Copy, Mr. Black—Business, and Mr. Connolly Layout and Photography, appointed the other editors with whom she would work to make the 1950 Arista as successful as the '49 edition. In September the editors started gathering ma- terial for their special sections. Many a cold win- ter’s night the light was burning in the Print Shop where the Arista Editorial Staff was struggling to produce a top-notch book. Working around the table were Sirvart Kalaydjian, writing up Girls' Sports, Betty Dalton, unjumbling the activities of our 276 Seniors, Bill Lenderking, who covered the Boys’ Sports season, while Baynham Campbell and her staff prepared the final write-ups of the special events and general activities of the clubs and organizations of our school for Joan Gilliar, Copy Editor, who wrote the final running copy. After all the copy was okayed, it then went to Phyllis George, Managing Editor, who typed the finished product. The Production Manager, Peter flouts, was busy arranging photography schedules and helping the future Layout Editor with the 1951 book. During the G. O. deliberations about keeping Blazer for a mascot, the Arista Art Staff, super- vised by Mrs. Hunter, the new Art Sponsor, and Carol Emerling, Art Editor, kept their fingers crossed while they were busy doing research on the anatomy of a goat, the theme of our '50 Arista. While the Art Staff was busy drawing goats, the Business Staff, headed by Erika Selmyer, Busi- ness Manager, met in the G. O. bank to plan and carry out the advertising and circulation campaigns for the book. In this group were Anne Barr, Comptroller, and Olga Gajdos, Advertising Man- ager, who along with her staff solicited ads for the Arista. After many trips to the advertisers, obtaining contracts, and money, the all-important ad-section of our book was completed. In the middle of February, when the final dead- line arrived, the editors sent the book to the printers—their work was almost done. Next came the reading of the proof sent from the printers. This too was accompanied by supper meetings and 58 ANNE HARR Comptroller OLGA GAJDOS Advertising ERIKA SELMYER Circulation PHYLLIS GEORGE Managing Editor PETER HOUTS Production Editor JOAN GILLIAR Copy Editor ARISTA CIRCULATION STAFF: Seated, left to right—M.

Their many hours of work had finally materialized and the 1950 Arista was produced. Three years ago, a Yearbook Training Class was initiated for Sophomores and Jun- iors. The members of the class who would eventually become editors met twice weekly with the Arista Sponsors and learned the fundamentals of copy-writing, yearbook lay- out, advertising principles, and art work. During the course of the year, these people, along with the editors, attended the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Conference, and the Corydon M. Johnson Publishing Company exhibit. This is the company that awarded us the Walt Whitman plaque for our '49 All American yearbook. This plaque was awarded to Peter Houts, '49 Editor-in-Chief, at the annual G. O. Assembly, which launched the '50 ticket sale campiagn. ARISTA SPONSORS: Mr. Connolly, Mrs. Hunter, Mr. Black, Miss Edholm.

O. ticket. A1 Weissman and Dave Goldstick using cave man tactics and an original prehistoric language of grunts and groans, informed us that the ticket was an excellent buy. As a result of this assem- bly, 84% of the student body bought the G. O. ticket, a higher percentage than in any of our neighboring schools. Every first and third Thursday of each month the G. O. representatives, the officers, Ted Blasch- ke, president; Anyes Rozendaal, vice-president; Leslie Van Nostrand, secretary; and Ronny Colen, treasurer, with Mr. Maier, the sponsor, met in Room 129 for the Assembly meeting. The notes from these meetings were then read and discussed by all the Social Studies classes. Votes were taken on motions presented at the Assembly meeting, vol- unteers were secured for committees, and new ideas for the representatives to give at the assem- bly meetings were taken care of in the Social Studies classes. Thus our GENERAL ORGANI- ZATION was run in a democratic way. The meeting will come to order! Ted Blaschke, G. O. President pre- sides competently at a G. O. Gen- eral Assembly meeting. SENIOR HIGH G.

O. was the Guid- ance Committee, which will long be remembered by the Seniors. This committee made a library of college catalogs so information could easily be found by interested students. During the year there was a series of guidance conferences at which local speakers presented talks on advertising, in- terior decorating, law, and other occupations open to graduates. A very new job of the guidance committee was that of an employment agency. This offered many part-time jobs to students desiring work during vacations or after school.

The permanent committees formed were the Stu- dent Faculty, G. O. Store, Publicity, Great Neck Greeters, Lost and Found, Assembly Planning, Order of Business, and Guidance. We can look back now and say that our G. O. took the opportunities it was afforded and had a very successful year. Speaking of successes, in the competition between Chaminade, Mineola, Port Wash- ington, and Sewanhaka, Lee Glaser, speak- ing on The United States Versus The Effi- ciency State,” won the Oratorical Contest for the Northwest district of Nassau County, which took place January 6th in the Great Neck High auditorium.

Janet Goldstick, who spoke on The Critical Period was chosen runner-up. Lee has also displayed her talents this year by co-editing the Guide Post with Sandy Perlman. Utilizing every spare moment, Lee and Sandy, in- spired by Mr. Laise and assisted by their depart- ment editors and managers, have unfailingly pro- duced the school paper every’ Wednesday with more 6 and 8 page issues than ever before. The National Honor Society campaign and the inter- view with Jay Barr after his recovery from polio are two of the articles of a more serious nature that have been of great interest. More and better art work has also been a new feature this year. Another accomplishment was the first Guide Port-sponsored assembly which was held on De- cember 2. Miss Margo McDonald, the It’s All Yours” editor of Seventeen magazine, offered valu- 218 ART CLUB OFFICERS: B. Byrne, Mr. Rice, D. Paul, A. Marino. able advice on short story and poetry writing and presented encouraging facts on teen-agers’ talent in the writing field. At the close of the assembly, Sandy Perlman announced Elena Nelson the win- ner of the Blazer Cheer Contest, which was spon- sored by the Guide Post. Many of the promising young artists who cre- ate the art work for the Guide Post are members of the 218 CLUB, a truly colorful organization. Every Thursday a group of about thirty ambitious young art enthusiasts gather together with their paint boxes and palettes for an afternoon of the kind of work that is fun. Anita Marino, presi- dent, presides over the meetings with the helpful assistance of vice-president, Diana Paul, and sec- retary-treasurer, Betty Ann Byrnes. Sponsored by Mr. Rice, the members of the 218 contribute artistic talents to many of our school activities. They help with stage design, dance decorations, and are responsible for many of the posters you see in the halls. Besides doing art work for the school, the 218” members sponsored a Christmas sale, which featured stuffed animals, stenciled sta- tionery, decorations for Christmas trees, and many other lovely gifts. The proceeds went to the club treasury. Grouped around the mike, about to send their an- nouncements throughout the school are Lyn Brink- ley, Priscilla Gaylord, Robert Peyser, Sandy Horn, Moreson Kaplan, and Edith Rolland. nf.

Se, •vice Another after school activity has been developed into a regular course carrying credit. I-'irst it was Navigation, formerly studied by the Math Club, which meets after school, then it was Yearbook, meeting far into the night, and now radio has be- come so popular that a course entitled RADIO WORKSHOP is offered during the regular school day. Twice a week three classes of interested stu- dents meet to learn more about the fundamentals of radio and the use of the broadcasting equip- ment. As a result of this course many students have discovered a new and interesting after school activity, the Radio Workshop. This organization, sponsored by Miss Gordon, offers the students in- struction in script writing, announcing, acting, directing, producing realistic sound effects, and many other vital parts of radio broadcasting. This year’s Radio Workshop had the advantage of using the newly equipped broadcasting room in the tower for the many programs they presented to the school during noon homeroom periods and the other special events that were broadcast through- out the year. -A S GIRLS HI-Y: First row, left to right—D.

The answer—the GIRLS’ HI-Y. This organization was founded in 1926 and has been under the supervision of Mrs. Baker for the past eleven years. This year the girls operated the newly formed Snack Bar and found it a very worthwhile job. An average of 95—100 students patronized it daily, which netted considerable profit for the Hi-Y. Such money is devoted to the scholarship fund. Every' year they present S400 to a worthy member of the graduating class. Another important duty of the Girls’ Hi-Y is that of hall hostess. It may look like fun sitting at the desk in the hall, but just ask anyone who did it and they’ll tell you it’s also a lot of work. Joyettx Noel.

This year there were 58 active members in this organi- zation, which made it the largest Hi-Y in Nassau County. It is also the best Hi-Y in Nassau County as it has the most money, operates on the least amount of money, and does the most service for the school. The meetings, held every first and third Thursday of the month, were high- lighted by ice cream and guest speakers. One of the guest speakers was Harvey Griffith, who told the members that they were the ultimate in Hi-Y's because they held serv- ice before pleasure. The officers this year were Muriel Zulch, president; Miriam Kahn, vice-president; Betty Dal- ton, secretary; Marlene Newman, treasurer; and Carol Darnell, chaplain.

Many a social studies, health, or music period is enliv- ened by the addition of films being shown. And where would we be without the Projectionist Club? This all-male contingent of twenty, under the di- rection of Mr. Luminati, takes charge ol all films shown in the classrooms and the auditorium both during and after school. This year's officers were Henry Knaup, president, and Bob Yokel, treas- urer. Found any mice lately? If so, you might turn your findings over to the AGASSIZ CLUB. Su- pervised by Mr. Noyes, the members of the club have been out trapping these small wild rodents for the benefit of the Jackson Memorial Labora- tory in Maine, where they will be used for re- search in cancer. After catching the mice, the trick is to have them reproduce and if any animals show mutations or signs of cancer they are shipped alive to Maine.

Vas goot”—that’s what everyone was saying about the JUNIOR PLAYERS version of I Re- member Mama,” held in the High School audi- torium on the 18th and 19th of November. The many long hours of work in preparing the play proved worthwhile when the curtain calls were greeted with deafening applause. Coached by Mr. Borcssoff, Janet Goldstick in her role as Mama, Carol Glassman as Katrin, Alan Miller as Papa, Sandra Horn as Christine, Ted Weems as Nels, and Martha Miller as Dagmar gave a remarkable performance as the Hansen family.

Then of course, there are members, who at- tend the meetings every first and third Tuesday of the month, work on committees and make the plays possible. The purpose of the club is not only to teach the members the ways of the theatre, but to bring out the better qualities of leadership in each per- son. Everybody worked hard toward the produc- tion of the two three-act plays given this year. Be- sides the three act play there usually are three one- act plays and the tradition was that they were to be student directed, but because this year a three- act play was given, there was a student director assisting Mr. Boressoff. Exchange assemblies with other schools are also under the jurisdiction of the Junior Players. This year, they were student directed as compensation for omitting the three one-act plays. The meetings were conducted in parliamentary procedure. After the business meeting, there were programs of entertainment under the direction of John Cohen. Any member could participate, or produce a program. In this way, undiscovered talent was revealed. Between play productions, the 74 MATH CLUB: First row, left to right—P. November, A. Bent, W.

Without the help of the STAGE CREW, sponsored by Mr. Burke, these productions would not have been pos- sible. Besides doing the lighting and con- struction for these productions, they assist with the lighting for all of the school spon- sored dances. About twenty-live members met every Wednesday, headed by their man- ager, Wilfred Croly, and his assistant man- ager, Edith Rolland; the master electrician, Tom Olcott, and the master carpenter. Bill Gregory. They are very proud of the fact that eight of their hardest working members have acquired khaki uniforms this year, which they wear while working on a proj- ect. The THESPIANS arc the elite of the CMC Junior Players, Stage Crew, and Radio Workshop who have qualified for this honor by showing a sincere interest in their organization, talent in that field, and a fine record of service in their particu- lar club. Troupe 201 of this dramatic honor society, sponsored by Mr. Borcssoff and directed by Janet Goldstick, president; Alan Weissman, vice-presi- dent; Louis Uchitelle, secretary; and Rhana Bur- foot, treasurer, installed new members at the end of International Drama Week, which was ob- served from March sixth through tenth.

If you happened to look in on one of the MATH CLUB meetings, you probably saw Miss Perry, sponsor of this group, explaining the meas- urement of maps, or the proper use of the slide rule. This year, the group headed by Joe Malkary, president; Milan Kerno, vice-president; Jamieson Varian, secretary; and Cecil frost, treasurer, spon- sored films on subjects relating to the study of mathematics to which the student body was in- vited. To stress the vital importance of the Red Cross we had an assembly on November 7, at which time Mrs. Daniel Tear, a Grey Lady serving pa- tients at Northport Hospital, expressed the grati- tude of the recuperating veterans who received the afghans and games donated by our RED CROSS CLUB. This year Janet Fippinger, presi- dent, was assisted by Audrey Parker, Elaine Har- ris and Joan Kallmeyer. This club, with members from each Senior High homeroom, met twice monthly with their new sponsor. Miss Colston. The newly formed UNITED NATIONS YOUTH Group presented an assembly in the fall at which questions such as, If War Broke Out, Could The U.N. Subdue It?”, and Do You Think The U.N.

Another dub interested in world affairs is the FORUM, which meets every Monday to shouder the world's worries by discussing current prob- lems, both foreign and domestic. Besides studying the problems of the day, the members of the Forum, sponsored by Mr. Hobbs and Mr. Freeman and assisted by president, Bob Effros; vice-presi- dent, Paul Hutter; and secretary, Rhana Burfoot, hold formal debates on such topics as Atomic Control and World Government. Probably the only thing you know about a fire drill is that it gives you a chance to stretch your legs and miss a few minutes of class, but the FIRE DRILL COMMITTEE can tell you differ- ently. Headed by Mr. Stallone, the captains try to see that the school is cleared in the shortest possible time whenever the signal is given, and that all regulations are followed. Because of the Fire Wardens’ assistance, it has been possible to clear the building in two and a quarter minutes.

Under the astute sponsorship of Mr. Biakemore, the club conducts heated de- bates on Federalism and its details. Club President, during its second year in existence, was Jerry Gold- stein. Completing the list of officers were vice- president, Lenard Markowitz; secretary, Joan Hatch; and treasurer, Dan Berger. At their an- nual assembly in January, the Federalists pre- sented a technicolor movie entitled Where Will You Hide? This film, dealing with the possibili- ties of atomic devastation, left the students real- izing the great need for a more friendly world. In case you have wondered who brought us the professional actors, who presented scenes from Shakespeare, Moliere, and Maxwell Anderson, it was all in a day's work for the ASSEMBLY PLANNING COMMITTEE, who gathered every Wednesday with Mr. Boressoff in Room 114. The six members saw to it that schedules, publicity, and seating plans were taken care of to make every assembly successful. CAMERA CLUB: First row, left to right—A. Larrabee, D. Berger, L. Brown.

Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Gavey and leadership of Amy Shoemaker, Barbara Saulino and Caroline Grady, the girls in this club kept the files neat, worked at the desk, and generally strove to make the library a more attractive place for the pupils' varied needs. Equipped with flash bulbs and cameras, the CAMERA CLUB members could be seen at im- portant sports events recording the high spots. Under the leadership of president Louis Brunetti and vice-president Bob Bailey, a lecture on color slides, field trips, and two annual photographic exhibits were the highlights of the year. 76 of our Tassel Twitchers were members of the A CAPPELLA. They were heard every Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 to 10:15 exercising their vocal cords under the excellent di- rection of Mr. Ormsby. The A Cappella displayed their ability in the halls of Great Neck High at Christmas, in Grand Central Station, and of course in their superb sing- ing of the Nutcracker Suite which they pre- sented in collaboration with the Modern Dance Group at Christmas, and which was later per- formed for an appreciative audience at the Mer- chant Marine Academy. Spurred on by Mr. Prutting, the ORCHESTRA succeeded in making our assemblies more enjoy- able; particularly during the performances of I Re- member Mama. Members of the High School were not the only people who enjoyed their music though, as they played for the grade schools and the Great Neck Womans’ Club. Mr. Devoe's CHORALEERS, our newest musi- cal organization, was composed of 62 music- minded Junior boys and girls. This group, com- plete with officers and a committee who decided upon the selections that were presented, set a high goal for next year's Choraleers.

Since the commencement of the Youth Center three years ago basket- ball courts and an additional meeting room have been added. With the assembly as a spark, interest in the Center increased. The Center was the scene of dances following football and basketball games, the popular talent shows, the Learn-To-Groups, the annual fashion show, and Be-hop concerts. With Senior High School organizations as an inspiration, our little brothers and sisters have formed organizations of their own. They have a Junior G. O., which teaches self-government from the seventh grade to the ninth. One of the oldest Junior organiza- tions is the Junior Guide Post, which holds its own on the back page of the Guide Post and contains sports, news items, and feature articles. The programs of the Junior Library Club, Jr. Red Cross Club, Jr. Radio Workshop, Jr. Dramatics Club, and Jr. Assembly Plan- ning Committees are fashioned after those of the Senior High.

Lady Luck frowned upon the Blazers throughout a season in which several losses could have been turned into victories with a few breaks.” The Smithmcn lost their opener in the last in- ning to a strong Bayside aggregation on April 7, but jumped into the win column as Freddie Rap- paport pitched and battled them to a 9-8 victory over Sewanhaka, South Shore Champions, on the 11th. On the 13th they blasted powerful Chami- nade I 1-6 with Rappaport again picking up the win. The Varsity then lost a one-to-nothing thril- ler to Bayside as they wasted Bob Hales' 3 hit mound performance. Losses to Chaminade, Valley Stream, Glen Cove, Port Washington, and Roslyn followed. Al Kurth bested Mincola, 3-2, on May 6th. He then toppled Manhasset, 19-4, as Siebert, Mc- Intyre, Zabicki, and Levantino collected ten hits TASS PAULI FRED RAPPAPORT BOB HALES CROSS COUNTRY: A.

Losses to Scwanhaka, Port Washington, Garden City, Sea Cliff, Manhasset, Valley Stream, and Glen Cove were recorded before Lefty A1 Kurth stopped the power-packed Garden City nine. The season's highlight was Bob Hale's no hit effort against Roslyn. The game was lost as Roslyn garnered an unearned run in the 4th inning. Phil Siebcrt, Chester Levantino, and AI Dent tied for batting honors with ten hits apiece. Kurth won three games and Rappaport won 2. Returning this season are Hales, Dent, Rappa- port, Bob Degan, John Jahoda, Larry Smith, Paul Berman, Kurt Spira, Gene Stern, and Tass Pauli. While the baseball team went through a very mediocre season, the TRACK squad compiled one of Great Neck's best records in years. Carrying the orange and blue standard into battle against rugged competition, the Blazers of Great Neck, He's out! A close play in a varsity league game. 91 VARSITY TRACK: First row. left to right—A.

In its first dual meet against Glen Cove, the Blazers swamped the Covers 72-32. In a dual meet with Port Washington and a triangular meet w'ith Garden City and Valley Stream, Coach Clarke's charges ran very close seconds. Great Neck returned to its winning ways again in a triangular meet with Roslvn and Manhasset in which the Blazers almost doubled the point totals of both the other teams combined. Great Neck lost no prestige in dropping a close meet with powerful Chaminade 58-46. The school closed out its track season in grand style by plac- ing second in the Port Washington Invitation Meets in which ten teams competed. Heading the Blazers were Jerry Platz and Leo Saluto in the dashes, Tommy Nylund in the shot-put and dis- 92 SOCCER TEAM: first row, left to right—A Griffith, L. Brown, P. Krc-indler, D. Solow, W.

For 1950, Coach Clarke looks forward to a very successful season with practically the whole team returning intact except for the loss of Tom Nylund, Jim Walker, and Harr)' Ayling. The SOCCER team picked up where the cinder- men left off, and finished a surprising second in league competition. Little was expected of the Blazer Booters in 1949, for graduation had left but two players of the championship squad. How- ever, Earl Chamberlain's inexperienced but well- coached team tore into league competition fiercely. Although the Booters were unable to cop the championship again, their record was respectable. In ten games. Great Neck won five, lost three, and tied twice, to finish in second place. 93 Cl Kjridmen Highlight of the season was the thrill-packed Great Neck-Sea Cliff contest. The Sea Cliff team, ’49 champs, won the game 1-0, in an ex- citing double over-time period. The game was hard-played by both sides, but was a heart breaker for the Blazers. Outstanding during the season were co-captains, Bob Multer and Joe Fluet, aided by A1 Dent, Dave Kohler, and others. The outlook for soccer in 1930 is bright, with most of the squad returning. The Booters’ fine showing somewhat eased the fall sport scene, when the Blazer FOOTBALL team had one of its poorest seasons. Although the football season was three weeks late in arriving at Great Neck, because of the polio epidemic, the team managed to get in six games. The season was one of the worst in Great Neck football history, as the team dropped five games out of six. Great Neck Journeyed to Garden City for its first encounter and was routed by a score of 37 to 7. The Blazers scored on a forward pass from Jerry Goldstein to Pete Booth in the end zone, and Kurt Spira added the extra-point giving a short-lived lead. The Trojans turned the game into a rout in the second half, however, and won going away. FOOTBALL COACHES The next game provided our only win of the season. Playing against a tough, previously unbeaten Long Beach eleven, the Blazers fought to a thrilling 7 to 6 victory. Jules Morganstern capped a 70 yard Blazer drive by plunging over from the three yard line and Kurt Spira added the all-important extra point. Great Neck then traveled to Port Washington for our traditional fray with the Blue and White. After scoring on their first play from scrimmage. Port settled back and won the game 19-0. Our only seri- ous bid for a score was halted on the Port five yard line after Leo Saluto had run 70 yards. Mr. Clarke Mr. Totura Mr. Billhardt FRESHMAN FOOTBALL: First row, I. to r.—L.

J em Up and -At Our next game was with the Glen Cove powerhouse, and although the Blazers played a good ball game, they lost 31 to 0. The game was much closer than the score would indicate, however. Great Neck played its worst game of the season against I'armingdalc the next week. This was the first game in which the Blazers weren't able to gain rather consistently and were outclassed all the way. The score of the rout was 37 to 0. The last game of the season was played against Hicks- ville and the Blazers dropped this one, 19 to 0. The Hicksville team simply outfought Great Neck. Despite their dismal season, the Blazers gained con- sistently against every team they played except Farming- dale. However, they lacked the scoring punch when the goal line beckoned. Despite the team's poor showing, praise must be given to Head Coach Ernie Clarke and his assistant Mike Totura, who both turned in fine coach- ing jobs. Blazer BASKETBALL tryouts went into full swing with the ending of football. Under the direction of new- comer Irving Milenko, the hoop-hopefuls went through their paces. The new mentor was faced with many prob- lems, dealing mostly with the task of picking a final squad. Completely unacquainted with his players, Mr. Milenko was forced to make many changes in his squad, even well after the season began. Originally, the nucleus of the team was built around Co-captains Harvey Bieber and A1 Dent, scoring ace Fred Rappaport, and center Dick Balzer. Competition for the fifth starting position was heated with a potent-scoring newcomer Charlie Wolfe winning out. Jim Schisgall, promoted early in the campaign from the Jayvee, saw con- siderable action as a starter. Also of service were Gene Mowry and J. V. promotee Bobby Degen; while John Jahoda, Bill Lenderking, Jack Reagan, Doug Hobbs, and Tass Pauli completed the roster. The Blazers opened the season on an optimistic note with a thrilling 34-33 win over Sea Cliff and following it with another thriller, beat Malverne 39-38 in overtime. Great Neck lost little prestige in losing a hard fought 33-31 game with Roslyn, decided by a last minute lay- up.

Jroopsteri three straight defeats at the hands of Hicksville, Sewanhaka, and Freeport. The team then played its best game of the year, by turning in an im- pressive win over a hustling Glen Cove quintet, 56-49 in their first league tilt. However, the un- predictable Blazers then dropped a close non- league contest to St. Paul's 37-36, followed by a 34-31 loss to Port. Next was a 39-25 loss to the Garden City quintet. The Blazers tangled next with a powerful Mineola five and couldn't hold a 16-11 half-time lead, thus losing 28-23. In their next encounter, the Blazers played Heads-up ball in staving off a last ditch rally and beating Bay- side in non-league tilt. Great Neck then turned in an impressive 53-40 win over Manhasset. As the Arista went to press, Great Neck had a two and three league record and was tied for third place in the league race. Strawberry Shortcake” and Boom Chicka Boom are just two of the cheers that belong exclusively to our J. V. CHFFRLHADHRS.

The skit showed humorously all the headaches our gym teachers have to put up with, among which were the lazy girl who didn't want to get dressed for gym, because she was all dolled up to go to the U.N. that afternoon, the cheerleader who couldn't get dressed, because she was all pinned in, and the girl who couldn't play, because she didn't feel well. After the skit, Ann Byrnes, president of the G. A. A. explained the year's coming events, which would include the new Championship Night to replace the traditional sport night between the Oranges and the Blues, in order to promote keener inter-class competition among the girls. Ann also announced that this year a Spring Field Day will be held, at which time several of the neighboring schools will participate in such com- petitive sports as softball, tennis, archery, track, and spring hockey.

A similar organization in the Junior High is the J. A. A., which met every second Friday of each month to plan and supervise the entire gym program in the Junior High. A keen interest was shown by the girls of the Junior High in all sports, from tumbling to modern dance. Under the friendly and helpful guidance of Miss Amott, the officers, consisting of Jackie Dalton, president; Marilyn Rowley, vice-president; and Jeanne Geb- hard, secretary-treasurer, worked with the J. A. A. council members to make the program as interest- ing as possible by holding such events as tourna- ments and interscholastic games with the neighbor- ing towns. Boy, what a serve! Hey, watch the net!” Did you see that spike?” If you walked by the girls’ gym after school between Thanksgiving and New' Years, you could have heard similar sounds 101 Cinderella listens as her step-sisters, Eleanor Shields and Kathleen Dunne, plot against her. drifting from the gym as VOLLEY BALL got under way. For the girls fortunate enough to make a class team, an interscho- lastic program gave further chance for dis- playing skill and teamwork. Competing against corresponding teams from Port Washington and Manhasset, our sophomores won both games, our juniors beat Manhasset and tied Port, while the seniors were victori- ous in their only match against Port. These pictures show some of the tech- niques used in last year's MODERN DANCE Recital on March 25, 1949. Under the guid- ance of Miss Staat, the girls displayed a variety of dances with original choreograph- ies by the girls. Among the various num- bers were Cinderella,” starring Joan UI1- man and Cookie Maniscalco; Short Rhyth- mic Studies” and Spiritual Suite per- formed by the beginners groups; The Sea- sons,” brilliantly showing each season as DRUM MAJORETTES: S.

The Congo was the first time that boys ever took part in a modern dance program. After the 1950 Arista went to press in February, the Mod- ern Dance Group was planning for a re- cital in March. Rehearsals were being held for their presentations of Alice in Wonder- land, a Nursery Rhyme Suite,” an under- sea production entitled Visions of the Deep, and a production by the advanced group entitled Lost in a Modern Mu- seum. A special matinee performance was planned for Saturday afternoon, April 1, for the children of the community. Pageantry!

Largely responsible for keeping up the fine spirit of our athletes, both in football and basketball are the lively CHEERLEADERS, seen on page 104. Composed of eleven energetic girls, the squad was al- ways ready with a T-E-A-M, Go Great Neck, or Come on kids, louder to back the players and lead the crowd on. Be- fore the season and between games, many hours were spent on perfecting their graceful jumps, forward rolls, splits, and always aiming toward a better ensemble. Spurred on by head cheerleader, Barbara Dempsey, and guided by Miss Staat, the girls succeeded in developing a feeling of greater school unity among the student body. When the cheerleaders were inactive, you could hear the dancing feet of the advanced TAP GROUP brush-tap-brush- ing from room 30 on Tuesdays between December and March. These gals learned many intricate steps and put them into 104 TAP DANCE: Center—L. Victorchuk. L. to r.—E. Golly, J. Gebhard, J. Muller, F. Needham. J. Dalton. E. Holm, J. Giruso, T. Schemer, G.

Their idea last year was Saturday Night In Central Park. Gaily dressed and bonneted, the girls twirled parasols, while make-believe boys carried canes and wore top hats. This past year the advanced tap group presented a modern swing tap routine in Stop Time. This year, Luba Victorchuk, who headed the group, organized the work and kept things running smoothly. Among the more advanced dancers who have been active for the past three years are Grace O'Kane, Rhana Burfoot, Katherine Eger- ton, Priscilla Gaylord, Gertrude Nothoff, Corinne Thienel, and Marion Wood. Concentration on keeping the eyes on the shut- tlecock as it flashes back and forth across the net is one big factor in the making of a good BAD- MINTON player. Although Spring seems to be the popular time for this sport, the Senior girls kept in tip-top shape last autumn to show their skill against the boys who competed with them in class games.

Frances Greene conducted the usual after-school round-robin tournament, where everyone had an opportunity to play one another, thus acquiring perfection in this quick-moving game. Those crisp, white uniforms with colorful orange and blue insignia seen around the girls' gym identify the LEADERS CORPS. Supervised by Miss Leora Murphy, with Lyn Brinkley presiding and Carol Darnell, sec- retary, the group met on Tuesdays during homeroom periods to organize their work in aiding the gym teachers in all phases of the Physical Education program, both during gym classes and after school. Besides ref- ereeing and umpiring games, several of the girls were given the full responsibility of handling a gym class without adult super- vision.

Highlights of the year were the formal induction of new members, a trip to Bald- win to see and take part in their induction, the newly organized field day with other schools, and the annual trip to Jones Beach in June. I pledge on my honor to uphold the standards set by the Leaders’ Corps, to en- deavor to set an example in appearance and conduct, and to maintain sound mental and physical health.” This is the pledge taken by each leader, in both Senior and Junior Leaders' Corps, as she is inducted into the Corps. With Andrea Oppenheimer as presi- dent of the JUNIOR LEADERS' CORPS and Miss Murphy to sponsor the group, the organization affords each girl the opportu- nity to show her leadership by helping in the Physical Education Program. A day of fun and relaxation all to them- selves at Jones Beach in June ends the Jun- ior Leaders' Corps year on a happy note.

Victorchuk. arranging an interesting program, many fun- packed games were played between teams composed of the various grades. This year new techniques such as the double bounce, and zone guarding were practiced which produced a more exciting game. Another popular girls' sports is HOCKEY. A fast-moving game, hockey inspires co- operation as well as gives an opportunity to enjoy the brisk fall weather. This year, headed by Grace O'Kane, many of the gals enjoyed exciting hockey games on Monday and Thursday afternoons. Due to the delay in starting the season because of the polio scare, the girls were hindered for a few weeks, but toward the end of the season, they displayed their progress by win- ning their last few games. The hockey team was very proud when two girls from Great Neck High were chosen to be on the Long Island Hockey team. Mary Jayne Waibel and Ann Byrnes played right half back and wing respectively in a lively game of top top notch players at Hofstra College on No- vember 20, 1949 against the New York Team.

The meetings are overflowing with entertainment. If the young Frenchmen aren't playing games, or singing, or eating (in French, naturally) they're listening to stories or skits writ- ten by members. This year, Pere Noel's annual visit was supplimented by the chanting and panto- miming of La Legende de Saint Nicolas” and while the groups laughed over their humorous gifts, they sang old French Christmas Carols. In commemoration of Frederick Chopin's birth- day, in February, scenes from the composer's life were re-enacted and his music was reproduced by one of the members of the club. Milan Kerno, President; John Rozendaal, Vice- President; Brigette Rozendaal, Secretary; and Paul Berry, Treasurer, along with the sponsors, Miss Crandall, Mrs. Guiney, Mrs. Hubbard, and Mr. Canfield try to further French-speaking fluency among the members.
