t Editor-in-Cbief Managing Editor Business Editor Copy Editor Production Manager Baynham Campbell SlRVART KALAVDJIAN Ellen Lindsay Jacqueline Chalaire Todd Empringham PUBLISHED BY GREAT NECK HIGH To Miss Camilla Edholm ... ItElM,-- who as teacher, counselor, and friend has helped guide us to the suc- cessful close of our high school careers, we affectionately dedicate this, the 1951 Arista. A graduate of Simmons College, Miss Edholm has also studied at the University of California, the University of Minnesota and Columbia University. She has traveled extensively abroad and has taught in the Canal Zone. Though her home is in New York City, summer vacation frequently finds Miss Edholm writing and painting in her beautiful cottage on Crane Island, Minnesota, or expertly paddling a canoe on Lake Minnetonka. Time and help are two things which Miss Edholm always has for others. This is proved by her untiring work as editorial sponsor of the Arista for the past seven years. Many are the evenings throughout the year that she has spent in Room 93 helping copy writers as a dead- line draws near. Before becoming a sponsor of Arista, Miss Edholm was sponsor of two earlier publications, the Magazette and the Macaw. It is our hope that those who follow us at Great Neck High benefit as we have from the wisdom and inspiration of Miss Camilla Edholm. Miss Camilla i. Edholm Changes have been made about us during the past year, two quite evident ones being the new Junior High School and the bronze service plaque in the front hall. The plaque, which is in memory of those who served in World War II from our school, was donated jointly by the Class of 1949 and Mr. Saul Epstein. The new Junior High represents the grow'th in our town, and though not yet finished as we go to press, is expected to open its doors for learning in September 1951. F O REWORD INTRODUCIN' . . . Carpe Diem. Carpe, whose real Roman name is Carpe Caesar Diem, had been living inconspicuously among books and test papers for many years at Great Neck High School. He was first recognized when the new Senior rings arrived bearing his signa- ture, Carpe Diem. Enjoying this sudden recognition and determined to become more popular, Carpe decided to live up to his name, which in English means Seize the Opportunity, and change the spelling of his middle name Caesar to Seizer. Unfortunately, because of lack of time and facilities, Carpe found it impossible to seize all the many and varied opportunities available at G. N. H. S. But, one day, while brooding over his dilemma, he felt growing pains, and by lunch time, Seizer found himself eating with three hands. After that whenever Carpe was overwhelmed with work, another hand would appear, until finally he possessed the amazing total of eight. Now, with four pairs of hands, Carpe is always willing to help others, and often takes inventory while counting money in the G. O. Store. If you will take hold of one of Carpe's hands, you will see the many opportunities in Great Neck High School, and though they may change in years to come, the spirit that goes with them will ever remain the same. Ohe Oront Office Dr. Marion E. Wiles Administrative Assistant Dr. John L. Miller Superintendent of Schools LITTLE did the French Club members know that their jovial Pere Noel last Christmas was Dr. Miller, superintendent of Great Neck schools. During his own high school days in Quincy, Massachusetts, Dr. Miller belonged to the French, Latin, and dra- matics clubs, and was editor of the school paper. His formal education was acquired at Bates College and Harvard Graduate School of Education. Whether traveling during the summer to such places as Cape Cod and Arizona, or remaining in Great Neck, Dr. Miller finds time to indulge in his favorite hobby, contract bridge. Assisting Dr. Miller to preserve the high standard of Great Neck schools is Dr. Wiles, who comes from Marion, Massachusetts, via Bridgewater Normal School, Columbia University, and Harvard. Church activities, reading, and traveling occupy what spare time remains from her crowded calendar. Dr. Wiles recently undertook the position of Civil Defense Director in the Great Neck schools. Great Neck High has been smoothly piloted the past ten years by Mr. Tucker, who himself attended 8 Mr. Ruf.l E. Tucker Principal high school in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. There, he was active in Thespians, Boys' Hi-Y, and track. Hav- ing graduated from Dartmouth, Mr. Tucker began his teaching career in New Hampshire, where he coached dramatics and sponsored the yearbook. Fur- ther study took him to Harvard Graduate School of Education and Columbia. Now, as Principal, Mr. Tucker still returns for the summer to his log cabin in New Hampshire, where he does some hunting, and relaxes by refinish- ing antique furniture and reading. Coming from Worcester, Massachusetts, Mr. Daly received degrees from Fitchburg State Teachers Col- lege, New Yoik University and Columbia Graduate Schools. He taught math, mechanical drawing and coached all sports at Warren High School in Massa- chusetts before coming to Great Neck. As Assistant Principal, Mr. Daly is occupied with the many as- pects of school life, but maintains his interest in sports and occasionally officiates at football games. For the summer, Mr. Daly leaves G. N. for Wales, Massachusetts to swim, fish, and read. .A Spotlicjlt on the -Adtn in id •« i on Mr. John H.

Miss Helen Flynn, curriculum co-ordinator, works with the thirteen department heads to dis- cover new projects and techniques used in G. N. H. S. teaching and to prevent overlapping of subject matter. In turn, the department heads advance new policies and developments within their classes. For example, to stimulate interest in math, three top students w'ere selected to participate in the Phi Mu F.psilon Mathematics Contest at New York University on April 7. Several members of the Discover)' of Music class attended a Metro- politan Opera rehearsal of Pagliacci. The Physi- cal Education Department offered to Seniors a First Aid course, leading to a standard Red Cross certificate after 26 periods of study. In co-operation with the P. T. A. and the State Department, junior and senior social studies teachers sponsored a Foreign Policy Essay contest. Winners, Eric Schwartz and Alfred Soman, were State Depart- ment guests in Washington for a week. Letters from Mrs. Hubbard, spending her sabbatical leave in France, reported European methods of con- ducting foreign language classes in the language studied, instead of in the pupil's native tongue. 11 Mrs. Mildred Bowen Mathematics Miss Elizabeth Brimley English Mr. Fred Brown T e sting Mr. John Burke Industrial Arts Mr. James Byerly Music Mr. Kenneth Canfield Modern Linguagc Mr. Earl Chamberlain Physical Education Miss Alice Chisholm English Miss Dorothy Colston Social Studies Left: Barbara O'Brien, Date Strife, Mike Chamberlin, and Tracy Rickers natch Professor Snyder prepare the brew.

No, I’m sorry, we don't make program changes. . . . That's the guidance office, next door to the right. This time Carpe was taking over the role of the seven office and two guidance secretaries. His many arms were busy answering the switchboard, making appointments for students with the guid- ance counselors, and putting bulletins into teach- ers' mail boxes. Carpe had thought that a secre- tary's life was an easy one, but after one day of doing transcripts of marks and keeping record cards on the 1,970 students, amid interruptions, he said, I regret that I have so little time to donate to the secretaries.” 21 Miss Burgmyer SENIOR CLASS • JUNIOR CLASS • SOPHOMORE CLASS CLASSES qjMNW DRIVER TRAINING: J. McDonnell. L. Carlson. Mr. Chamberlain. P. MacAneney. In this,” said Carpc, we go places at GNHS. Could there be anything simpler for me to operate with my extra hands than a dual control car? And what with today's traffic delays, keeping track of who's gone where is a job that only the efficient Attendance Group can cope with successfully. My father,” remarked Carpe as he shuffled through the mountains of blue slips turned in to Mr. Sears, would have been a natural at this job. He never lost a day’s work in his life, or figured that anybody else should. Good old Pere Diem!” ATTENDANCE: First row. I. to r.—C. Hodges, B. Mcltzer, P. Plaskett, D. Hunt. E. Syron. Second row—T.

It seemed as if it were only yesterday that Mr. Singer was re-organizing the Seniors for their class elections. The Senior Party in February, with dancing, a pie-eating contest, relays, and food, brought fame to Homeroom 112A, which won the most relays and games. Homeroom competition was continued through the winter months by the tense volleyball games during homeroom periods, finally culminat- ing with Room 112 in possession of the blue ribbon. Mr. Lester Velie, Feature Editor of Collier’s, whose work prompted the creation of the Kefauver Crime Investigation Committee, held the Seniors spellbound at their Breakfast on April 20, when he spoke on The Modern Gangster and told many of his personal experiences with notorious underworld figures. Encouraged by Carpe's daring ideas when he finally attained the coveted position of upperclass- President of the Senior Class John Rozendaal. Treasurer Peter Buhler Vice-President Alva Matthews Secretary Hope Michel 25 J Jotja man, the 226 members of the smallest class that GNHS will ever again graduate distinguished themselves by breaking traditions. In an atmos- phere of pagodas and Chinese lanterns, the first king and queen of a Senior Prom were crowned at Land of the Lotus” on June 2. The Senior Din- ner, held on a different evening, featured roast beef and the final distribution of Spirit of '51, the class publication. One sunny day among the frequent rehearsals of Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor” and This Soteri is My Country for graduation on June 22, the class left for their annual Senior Day at Jones Beach. After John Rozcndaal had packed away the gavel, Alva Matthews had completed her commit- tee work, Hope Michel had signed her final re- spectfully submitted” and Peter Buhler had closed the financial book for the last time, they realized that even though graduation would scatter the Class of ’51, the memories of their high school years would stay with them forever.

Reminiscing, Carpe thought of the Big Top Hop, the highlight of their Sophomore social season, and the picnic on the light court. never-to-be-forgotten, Junior Prom. With this record of enthusiasm and success, the Class of 1952 certainly has the makings of a spirited and successful Senior year. JUNIOR CLASS COUNCIL: First row, I. to r.—B. Lindsay, E. Nelson, C.

Since Carpe had done such a fine job aiding the Juniors, Miss Hanlon had asked if he would help her harness the energy of the Class of '53. Seizer, who collected dues with Ellen Steckert and showed Dorothy Kallmeyer a quick method of note-taking, also briefed President Frank Cian- ciulli and Vice-President Russell Kahn on correct parliamentary procedure, so the council meetings would be run smoothly. After the constitution was written, plans for class activities began. January 19 became Red Letter Day, followed immediately by Heavenly Daze,” the Sophomore dance, at which only Sopho- mores were given the right to attend. A class picnic in the spring terminated an over- flowing Sophomore year. 59 PUBLICATIONS GENERAL ORGANIZATION SCHOOL SERVICE GOVERNMENT • HOBBY CLUBS • DRAMA YOUTH CENTER MUSIC -ACTIVITIES Dilc -Arista CJitorial Staff Editor-in-chief: Baynham Campbell Managing Editor Production Manager Sirvart Kalaydjian Todd Empringham Copy Staff Editor: Jacqueline Chalaire Assistant: Joy Kony Organizations Betty Winter Girls' Sports Gloria Sherman Seniors Marcia Lamb Assistant: Marcia Adikes Photography Alfred Appel Assistants: Stephen Shannon, Howard Schultz, Richard Ruda, Michael Djirdjirian.

Whew!” sighed Carpe in unison with Editor-in-Chief Baynham Campbell, after the Arista finally went to press; ' I thought we'd never make it!” Earlier this year, Carpe had slipped into the Print Shop, official yearbook quarters, and was towed in by the fast-moving cur- rent. Once in, he became aware of the many different angles of the Arista. In one end of the room, Mr. Connolly and Todd Empringham, layout editor, were working on the dummy, while Business Manager Ellen Lindsay was discussing with Mr. Black new methods for promoting sales. As Jacqueline Chalaire, copy editor, finished compiling the story of the year, she handed it to Sirvart Kalaydjian, managing editor, who typed all the copy before it went to the publisher. covered that the lectures and exhibits given by the Year- book Conferences at Columbia and New York University provided new ideas and criticism. With all this activity, Carpe wondered if there would be anything left for him to do. However, Baynham assured him he could be of use, for the Arista staff was striving to maintain the All-American rating won by the two previous books. Seizer set to work doing self- portraits for Mrs. Hunter and Art Editor Jim Rogers and straightening the file of yearbooks from other schools. But, since even with all his ambition, Carpe was unable to complete his work in the class on Monday and Thursday, he attended the supper meeting, where food and laughter supplemented the hard work until late in the evening. At the other end of the room, the train- ing class was receiving a valuable lesson, administered that week by Miss Edholm, on the art of writing. This year, style books and texts were also used to prepare these apprentices for responsible jobs. Carpe dis- ARISTA SPONSORS: L. to r.—Miss Ed- holm, Mr. Black. Mrs. Hunter, Mr. Connolly.

One of the numerous privileges offered the G. O. members was free admission to Goblin's Gambol, the fall G. O. dance, at which time the school played host to grinning cats, ghosts, and pumpkins. With the North Shore Hospital Fund in mind, the GENERAL ORGANIZATION sponsored another dance in January’, which boasted the attendance of Tex and Jinx McCrary. It was not all play, however, that ran the student govern- ment this year. Hard work by the representatives and President Douglas Hobbs, Vice-President Sherman Uchill. Secretary Priscilla Rudin, and Treasurer Mike Chamberlin resulted in the revision of the G. O. Constitution and im- portant committee accomplishments. The School Spirit Committee planned the first Alumni Day on December 21. In an assembly and in conferences, the 1950 graduates related college experiences to Juniors and Seniors. College information was also made available by the Guidance Committee, which arranged conferences and lent out catalogues.

Sponsored by Mr. Brown, the club officers were Robert Yokel, president; Andrew Jeffrey, vice-president; Leslie Read, treas- urer; and Jordan Zimmerman, secretary. No sooner had Carpc left the Projectionists' den after checking on the arrival of a film for his social studies class, when he was lured upstairs into the midst of the HOME ECONOMIC S CLUB by the aroma of home made cookies. The girls, sponsored by Miss Krasnecki. were preparing for the tea given for English teachers from Nassau County on December 6. Informed by President Elaine Harris that the club belongs to the Needle- work Guild of America, Carpe revealed his pro- ficiency in darning socks, and is now the only male member of the Guild. His handiw'ork was dis- played during January in the club exhibits in the library. Led by Peggy Fox, the LIBRARY CLUB had co-operated with 15 other organizations in setting up the individual displays. With Mrs. Gavcy s aid, a fine exhibit was presented in Book Week. G. O.

Seizer's verdict on the serv- ices rendered by Hi-Y girls was intended to be Wonderful!”, but an apple bought from their Snack Bar got in his way. Having noticed these girls serving at football games, delivering office messages, and opening lockers for key-forgetters, Carpe questioned their president, Lynn Clarke. Must look fur- ther into this,” he decided; seventy girls!” Faithfully thereafter on alternate Thursdays, Sc-izer haunted the Hi-Y meetings, where he bowed his head in silent prayer, led by Alva Matthews, chaplain; applauded the secretary, Betty Fish, reading thank-you letters to the club for its services; and marveled at the list of duties assigned by Yvonne Abrams, vice-presi- dent. With the approval of Mrs. Bowen, spon- sor, he assisted Carol Eisenberg, treasurer, since he could simultaneously sort the dimes, nickels and quarters earned for the Hi-Y scholarship, which amounted to S800 last year. Wonderful!” he repeated, and this time the word came out as successfully as do all the Hi-Y enterprises. Everyone reads the Guide Post but one. Emerging from one of the monthly meetings of LE CERCLE ERANCAIS as an expert on Belgium, Carpe realized that every reunion added to his knowledge of the French language and culture. The officers, Jean-Jacques Rozen- daal, Brigette Rozendaal, Lynn Clarke, and Maryse Haan, teamed with Sponsors Mademoi- selle Crandall, Madame Guiney, Monsieur Can- field and Monsieur LeMaire to plan programs such as the ones built around Belgium, the Theatre Guignol, and the arrival of Dr. Miller disguised at Pere Noel. Films, songs, games, and refreshments added to the enjoyment of an afternoon of France in America. Foreign countries, however, were not the only cosmopolitan interests of Great Neck stu- dents. The INTERFAITH YOUTH FELLOW- SHIP promoted brotherhood among the dif- ferent races, religions, and nationalities by dis- cussions, guest speakers, and films on current problems. An outside organization recognized by the school, the I. Y. F. held meetings at the Youth Center, under Mr. Eck's guidance.

In accordance with the national emergency, the Guide Post printed several illuminating articles on the draft. Designed as eye-openers for con- cerned senior boys, these articles, along with regular Civil Defense reports, proved a definite- service. Carpe enlisted immediately, but not in the armed forces. His services were donated to the Guide Post, and Sponsor Mr. Laise craftily assigned him to Circulation, where his six arms were put to utmost use. Hidden in a little office on the bottom floor, the Guide Post cage was a scene of endless and hectic activity. Nevertheless, amid the eternal hubub, every Wednesday afternoon deadline was met. The staff, originally headed by Co-Editors It ri ter A Roberta Katz and Paul Berry, inaugurated many new policies. Because of conflicting activities, Co- Editor Berry was forced to resign in late Novem- ber, Roberta Katz becoming Editor-in-Chicf. Fea- turing a new printer, the paper switched its dis- tributing date from Wednesdays to Fridays. Added to the weekly's make-up were movie reviews, a larger number of photographs, an extensively in- creased news coverage, plus many varied and colorful feature articles. Bill Lcnderking s and Steve Rubin's sparkling So What column was eagerly sought by readers. The highlighted activity of the year was the staff's annual trip to the spring Columbia Press Conference, on March 8, 9, and 10. Gathered at Morningside Heights were representatives from high schools across the nation. Innumerable clinics and lectures on journalism were held during the three-day conference. Aspir- ing and ambitious Guide Post staff members also attended exhibitions and demonstrations before the conference concluded with a hotel dinner. 72 GUIDE POST SUB EDITORS: First row. I. to r— M.

The haunting melody of Mighty Like a Rose lingered in everyone's mind after at- tending the JUNIOR PLAYERS production of Night Must Fall, presented on November 10 and 11. Adding to the thrilling melodrama itself was the professional performance of the cast, starring Ted Weems, Audrey Heumann, and Ellen Ungerleider. Seizer, having failed to win a part in the play, was making himself useful in the make-up room. According to the four sponsors, such unheralded committee work comprises the ma- jor part of the members' activity. Program, pub- licity, usher, ticket, property, make-up, and costume groups coordinated to bring the town two major dramatic presentations, Night Must Fall and Star Wagon,” a children's play, Tom Sawyer,” and assemblies for other schools. The officers, Ted Weems, Millcttc Alex- ander, Willa Katz, Arlene Lyons, and Dave LeVine, planned club programs, such as one- Sk I out 74 arts and radio skits, and accompanied the members of the school's largest club on their trip to a Broadway play this spring. February brought rewards for Carpe. Presi- dent Robert Lehrman informed him that be- cause of his diligent Junior Players work, he had been elected to the Great Neck chapter of NATIONAL THESPIANS, the honor organi- zation of Junior Players. Through Thomas Olcott, vice-president, Da- vid LeVine, secretary, and James Spero, treas- urer, Seizcr learned of the Broadway play, The Country Girl,” which the Thespians attended in January; the drama articles in the Guide Post (apart from the new movie guide); and about National Drama Week, when the organization presented a one-act play for assembly. In April, Carpe was given a walk-on in the Drama Festi- val, in which Great Neck participated with several neighboring schools.

Sponsored by Mr. Burke, the Stage Crew's technical staff consisted of Stage Manager Thomas Olcott, Master Electrician Robert Bailey, Assistant Stage Man- ager Edward Kattel, and Master Carpenter George Krug. What fun!” exclaimed Carpe, slapping the last bit of red paint on a dance poster. While Frank Lomax, 218 CLUB president, put the neces- sary stamp of approval in his work. Sponsor Mrs. Hunter asked Seizer to explain to a new member that the club was responsible for providing the school with attractive publicity and giving inter- ested students the opportunity to exercise their talents. Meeting with Frank and the other officers, Pat Friedman and Brigette Rozendaal, the mem- bers planned their Christmas sale, museum trips, and lectures by local artists. Even Carpe, lineal descendant of Cicero, was forced to admit that the discussions which took place at Great Neck's FORUM were comparable to those held in the original in Rome. Heading the debates were President Richard Davis, Vice- President Richard Effros and Secretary Edward Effros. Seizer conceded that the movies and guest speakers were a great asset to the club program and agreed that it was a shot in the arm having Mr. Freeman, sponsor, to brief him with informa- tion. Following his nose, Carpe found himself at the BUNSEN BURNERS meeting, where the mem- bers were busy making soap. Under Edward Kat- tel's leadership, the Bunsen Burners also con- tributed personal experiments and watched demon- strations by Sponsor Mr. Snyder. The formula for soap was changed to one of knit-two, purl-two for the RED CROSS CLUB. A knitting brigade, plus two successful member- ship drives, constituted a part of the club's work this year. Through the efforts of President Elaine Harris, the other officers, and Miss Colston, an assembly was held last fall, in which Mr. Lawson Oddy, head of Civil Defense in the North Hemp- stead area, spoke on Red Cross work, and showed a film depicting local Red Cross services. Speaking on The Powers Behind the Con- stitution, in an assembly on December 19, Robert Ruben placed first in the American Legion Ora- torical Contest. He finished third on January' 10, when he competed against seven other schools at Hicksville. Bobs abilities have also been evident in his leadership of the AGASSIZ CLUB.

Held at the high school on October 17, a program entitled Is Peace Possible? was presented, featuring Mrs. Menon, Indian delegate to the U. N.; Ambassador Way- nick, American administrator of the Point Four program; and Mr. Raymond Swing, nationally known news commentator. To familiarize students with the aims and ac- tivities of the World Federalists, the club pub- lished the Federalist. Sponsored by Mr. Blakemore and led by President Stanley Pinsley and Vice- President Robert Ruben, Student Federalists at- tended the national convention in Washington and the one in Garden City for Long Island delegates. Armed with pencil and paper, as well as an interest in world affairs, Carpe questioned UNITED NATIONS YOUTH officers, Betty Anne Byrnes, and Yuan Chang. He discovered that the members had either a guest speaker or an appropriate film at least once a month. Letters from all over the country were received by Mrs. DeFreitas, sponsor, praising the club for its work in making the U. N. more intelligible to students throughout the land, by sending out information, Sau J' Jt out WORLD FEDERALISTS OFFICERS; L. to t.—J. Man- dell, secretary; R. Ruben, vice-president; S.

Carpe also learned that the members made trips to Flushing Meadows and Lake Success, and were responsible tor the large map and the bulletin board placed on the wall opposite the library to feature daily headlines. After glancing over the day's news, Seizer rushed up to the tower room, where Bruce Lloyd and Jim Page were preparing to broad- cast their semi-monthly program, which fea- tured prominent school figures along with the latest records. Carpe was given this op- portunity to interview such notables as Mon- sieur LeMaire, Mr. Chamberlain, and Coach Totura. The RADIO WORKSHOP class, con- ducted three times a week by Miss Gordon, provided instruction in all fields of radio. Such productions as The Odyssy of Runyon Jones, given in the fall over Station WKVD, Sewanhaka, represented weeks of planning and rehearsing. Seizer was so busy taking notes, that he failed to hear the FIRE DRILL warning that sounded. Luckily, Chief Leo Saluto realized that someone was in the tower room. RADIO WORKSHOP: L. to r.—C.

Advised by Mr. Meyers, this all-male contingent remains in the building during a drill to see that everyone leaves the school quickly and quietly. Early in September, such celebrities as Jinx Falkenberg, Robert Q. Lewis, and Mrs. Perry Como judged Great Neck talent to participate in the Hospital Fund benefit at Roosevelt Raceway. Representing Great Neck in the finals was a gypsy dance team, consisting of Luba Victorchuck and Theresa Schemer. Attractive Millette Alexander bit of their culture and background by means of Scottish songs and bagpipes. Responsible for these, and many other assem- blies, was the ASSEMBLY PLANNING COM- MITTEE, headed by Sherman Uchill and spon- sored by Mr. Boressoff. The six members met to plan programs and correspond with agencies for the two professional assemblies allotted each year. When Carpe undertook the role of baby sitter was chosen G.

Meeting every other Friday with Patricia McGuinness, president; Alfred Oneto. vice-president; Joan Lange, corresponding secretary; Lois Finke, recording secretary; and Doris Lipton, treasurer. Great Neck's chapter of this national organization, the Robert B. Colvin Club, filled their schedule with such activities as a charter meeting, talks by Miss O'Connor and Miss Hicks, trips to the elementary schools, a Christmas party and a spring picnic. Since Carpe had helped prepare refreshments for every meeting, Sponsor Mrs. Thompson allowed him to blow out the candle on the cake, when the Future Teachers of America celebrated its first birthday this June. The GREAT NECK GREETERS, led by Carol Miller, came to the aid of new students who were lost in the maze of Great Neck High. Each confused stranger was assigned a greeter, who gave him a hand- book, a club booklet, and showed him the ropes. Sponsored by Miss Patton, the Greeters also sent get-well and condolence cards. Although 83 the actual committee consisted of only seven members, over 200 students volunteered to help acquaint newcomers with the school. See you at the YOUTH CENTER after the game. The Youth Center open house- sessions after all home football and basket- ball games became a set custom in Great Neck. There, dancing, eating, playing games and watching television predominated. At other times, the Center housed meetings, dances, ping pong tournaments, and groups learning bridge, chess or popular dance steps such as the Charleston, which enjoyed a re- vival this year. With Steve Rubin at the helm and Carpt- as chief suggester, the Senior Group officers, Robert Malito, Betty Lindsay and Robert Fern, worked with Mr. Haliahan to contin- ually improve the Center and establish it as the local hang out.

In the depths of the Teachers' Cafeteria, representatives from every club, under the leadership of Sherman Uchill, solved prob- lems of meeting times, rules for procedure, and all other conflicts. Betty Winter re- corded all events and prepared the minutes of these meetings for other organizations to refer to. This group, as well as the Alumni News, which the G.

You didn't know Carpe was musically inclined? Actually, he didn’t realize it himself until he was left behind in Room 223 one day after his study hall. Hiding behind an extra music stand until the ORCHESTRA finished rehearsing, Seizer suddenly wished to be a musician. Six hands reached for the nearest instruments. Playing the violin, clarinet, and drums, Carpe soon became an active member of the group. Directed by Mr. Prutting, the Orchestra accom- panied the Junior Players’ production of Night Must � 6 WOOD WIND: B. Wocrmer, E. Stckert, J. Eichbcrg, R. Flicdner, H. Lo an, C. Grossman, C.

Once a member of the Orchestra, Carpe figured, as many students do, that this automatically entitled him to a position in the BAND. However, Mr. Steg, the new director, pointed out that this misconception stemmed from the fact that many students belong to both. After a change in his program, Seizer joined the group. By the time the football season had ended, Carpe was not only a member of the marching band, which played at the home football games, but he also be- longed to the concert band, which provided enter- tainment at all concerts and music programs. 87 BRASS QUARTET: L. to r.—B.

When they sang at Grand Central Station at Christmas time, commuters were so impressed that they remained to listen for the length of the whole program. The last day before the Christmas vacation, the school was invaded with the Yuletide spirit as the caroling of the Choir, strolling the halls, filled the building. The group also brought this spirit to the Merchant Marine Academy, when they participated in the Academy’s Christmas program.

Inaugurating the season with victories over Glen Cove and Port Washington, the cindermen went on to capture the Port Wash- ington Invitational on May 6. Valley Stream fell victim to Great Neck on May 10, and three days later, in the Nassau County relays. Blazer teams placed first and second. Losing to Garden City by 1 2 a point on May 17, the tracksters incurred their first setback. Highlight of the season was Great Neck's victory at the North Shore meet on May 20, ending a three-year Garden City reign. Thus the Blazers won the cup emblematic of North Shore Track supremacy, but later, placed second to powerful Mepham High in the Nassau County championships on May 27.

This defeat was avenged at Garden City, when, playing for the championship trophy, Great Neck severely trounced its near-by rivals. The first doubles team was originally com- posed of Team Captain Steve Rubin and Dave LeVine; later. Rubin and Gene Stern. The second combination was made up of Bob Lehrman and Fred Marcus; this successful duo did not lose a single set all season! Consistent victories were won by singles players Ben Thomas, Gene Mowry, Bill Greenspan, Ben Uchitelle, and Bill Holten. The SOCCER team continued to adorn the Blazer athletic showcase. Gaining top league honors for the second time in three years. Coach Chamberlain's charges booted to both North Shore and Nassau County championships. The 1950 record stood at 8 wins, 1 tie, and 1 loss. The lone Great Neck setback was adminis- tered by formerly beaten Sea Cliff, while league 96 BOB DEGEN HUBERT VEIT IRWIN ZIM victories were scored over Glen Cove and Roslyn twice, and Garden City and Manhasset once. Blazer goalie Ray Tallman scored shutouts in six of these contests. The Booters clinched North Shore honors by tying Garden City, 1-1, on No- vember 11. Taking on the South Shore kings, Sewanhaka, on the 14th at Garden City for the Nassau County title, the Orange and Blue emerged with a 2-1 victory after a thrilling fracas. Playing in two overtime periods, goals by Joe Shestopolow and Joe Fluet paved the way for the triumph. Individually, several Blazer Booters shone through- out the schedule. Brightest of these players was Joe Fluet. Playing his second year as team cap- tain, Fluet scored 18 goals to lead all point getters in Nassau County. Heaping further laurels on Great Neck High, the county coaches and officials named four to the All-Scholastic Team. Those honored were Fluet, Bob Degen, Irwin Zim and Fred Rappaport.

Carpe's many hands had little to clap about through most of Great Neck's grid season. However, all the overwhelming losses, fumbles, and messy blocks were forgotten when the Blazers crushed arch-rival Port Wash- ington on November 7. With only two veterans from the 1949 varsity. Head Coach Totura and Line Coach Turner were faced with the task of training a raw and unseasoned bunch. Rough going during the early stages of the campaign showed consecutive losses to Hicksville, Mineola, Garden City, and Roslyn, before the Blazers broke loose against visiting Smith- town on October 28. Outplaying the Smithtown eleven in every cate- gory, Great Neck ran up a 40-0 score. Touchdowns were scored in every period as the home team racked up more points than it had amassed in two years! Great Neck's bolstered spirits following the Smithtown game were mild compared to the hysteria and excitement caused by the upset victory over powerful and rugged Port Washington, on Election Day. Completely outcharging and outfighting the heavier Port line, the perfectly co-ordinated Blazer forward wall blocked and smashed the way for one touchdown apiece by halfback Art Weichbrodt and signal-calling wingback Bob Malito. Port Washington's lone tally came late in the last period, when they were all but beaten. The wild and booming celebration commencing at the final whistle was the beginning of one of the most spirited victory parades known to North Shore- football annals. Though the two concluding games, Glen Cove and Farmingdale, were let-down defeats, Great Neck's hopes for next year are high. Returning are Captain Mike Podcll, Bob Gorman, Jim Schisgall, Paul Cohen, Art Weichbrodt, Charlie Wolfe, Dan Stern, Pierre Rouzier, Len Levine, and others. T. BARRON J. GATTI G. PI.ATZ F. MORRIS R.

Basketball Coach Milenko's second year at Great Neck High saw his team amass a respectable record. Somewhat lacking in height, the Blazer s original starting team was built around Co- Captains Jack Reagan and Fred Rappaport. Six-foot three-inch post graduate Bob Shiflet and Junior flashes Charlie Wolfe and Jim Schisgall completed the five, while the mythical sixth man was John Jahoda. Playing a ten-game league schedule, the dribblers had engaged in eight frays as this was written. The league inaugural on Janu- ary 5 was lost to Port Washington, but a week later, Rappaport s 22 point spree led to an upset victory over Garden City. Losses inflicted by Mineola and Manhasset were avenged as Glen Cove and Garden City both bowed to Great Neck the beginning 104 Left: A study in Modern Dance is created as ]ack Reagan and a Roslyn player battle underneath the backboard.

With Wolfe shooting 23 of the season's high for one game of 68 points, the Blazers trimmed Glen Cove on February 13. Three days later, they emerged the unexpected victors over a thrilling overtime fracas with Mineola. Thus, as the Arista went to press, the cagers, with a 5-3 record, held third place in the N. S. A. L. standings. Between quarters, VARSITY CHEERLEAD- ERS, dressed in their new, reversible orange and blue uniforms, displayed the vim, vigor, and vitality for which they are known. With the guid- ance of Miss Staat, and the support of three male members this year, Captain Faye Edwards and her hep cats spurred on football and basketball teams and kept the spectators fired with enthu- siasm. Hula dancers, freaks, a gypsy fortune teller, and a wheel of fortune were part of the gigantic Penny Carnival staged by the GIRLS' ATH- LETIC ASSOCIATION in February. This suc- cessful experiment collected 1150 pennies! G. A. A. officers this year were Joan Lange, presi- G. A. A. OFFICERS: .. to r.—J. Lange, president; C. Shoemaker, treasurer; M.

A. was the MODERN DANCE group, sponsored by M iss Staat. Instruction classes in this rhythmic expression were a regularly scheduled course, but a greal deal of time was also spent after school in preparation for exhibitions and the annual recital. Last year, in their program on March 31, the girls gracefully interpreted Alice in Won- derland”; Under the Sea, a story concerning sea creatures; and Lost in a Modern Museum, which dealt with human emotions. This winter, in a special assembly for Senior High girls, each Modern Dance class did an exhib- ition dance, and the whole group demonstrated their limbering-up exercises. Exercising their leadership abilities, the mem- 108 TAP DANCE: First row, I. to r.—K. Flaherty, J. Presti, P. O'Brien, E. Wormser, J. Kohn, E. Gollv. I. Grossman, L. Victorchuk, B. Weisbuch, B.

Distinguished by their crisp, white uniforms and their new keys, the girls could often be found officiating at games during their regular gym periods, as well as after school. Several members visited Baldwin High School with Miss Murphy, sponsor, where they watched the induction ceremony and discussed Leaders Corps set-ups in other schools. More From these, the outstanding players were chosen to form the Honor and Reserve teams. The girls were defeated by Port Washington and Man- hasset, but overpowered the latter the second time they met. Accompanied by Miss Staat, spon- sor, the team attended the North Shore Hockey Tournament, held on a Saturday morning at Friends Academy. Great Neck placed second, los- ing only to Friends Academy. r AJilh a iJivist of? the llhu.it HONOR HOCKEY TEAM: Counter-clock- wise — G. Henry, P. Straus, M. Chait, B. Woerner, J. Lange, M.

With Ellen Ungcrleider presiding, and Pat Kopf recording events, the group met during home room periods to review sports rules, and assign duties. Get in there and dri-i-ive!” These booming words of encouragement bolstered many a girls' HOCKEY team, when the going was rough. The beginning of the season, class teams were or- ganized, playing against each other for practice. Hockey dropped from the girls' after-school schedule, as VOLLEYBALL took over. Team- work coupled with dexterity is necessary in this fast-moving game. Sponsored by Miss Murphy, class teams, skillfully executing spikes and serves, competed against neighboring schools. Culminating the volleyball season on January 19, the Juniors emerged victors in the interclass play-offs. In the student-faculty game, the honor team, faced with tough faculty competition throughout the game, managed to subdue their opponents by three points. 110 Pep it up!” shouts Faye Eduards as she leads the ten cheerleaders and the band on to the field to whip up the kids and cheer on the team.
