Dedicatee, 1954 foreword For a quarter of a century. Great Neck High School has stood proudly surveying Polo Road, giving dignity to a growing, bustling community. During this span of time, Arista's twenty-five editions have told the vital story of Great Neck's youth preparing for their roles as mature individuals. This edition recalls the passing twenty-five years and its memories, and adds to them the eventful story of 1953-1954. The past has given us a proud heritage. We hope our contribution, too, has been a worthy one. We foresee the future to be as enriching and inspiring to those who follow, as the past and present have been to us. 6 FACULTY 1929—New Building Dedicated... 1939—Faculty Presents Concerts ... 1943—Dr. Miller Appointed Superintendent of Schools . .. 1948—Columbia University Teachers’ Col- lege Completes Survey on School Systems ... 1950—Miss Makuen and Mr. Boressoff Direct Faculty Show ... 1951— Attitude Marks for Students Adopted by Administration William Shakespeare wrote: Ignorance is the curse of God, knowl- edge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.” The progress of the flight” of Great Neck High School, in its present building, has been recorded since 1930 in the Arista. The 1930 Arista tells us that the building in which we study today was regarded then as an unparalleled prodigy, the undisputed equal of the Colossus of Rhodes ana the lighthouse at Alexandria. This was probably because most of the students had spent the previous year in tne old wing of Arrandale School, which served until the end of 1929, as both elementary and high school. Mr. Willis E. Dodge, Superintendent of Schools in 1929, dedicated the new build- ing. There, Mr. Matthew P. Gaffney, principal, and forty-three teachers, among them Mr. Douglas, Mrs. Baker, now retired. Miss Makuen, Mr. Lusch, Miss Perry, Miss Colston, Mrs. Bowen, Mrs. DeFreitas, Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Tupper, Mr. Meyers, Miss Edholm, and Mrs. Gavey, helped lay the foundation for those traditions which have made Great Neck High School a name to be respected. The year 1932 proved quite important to our administrative policies, for it was the year a new principal, Mr. Leon C. High, came to the school. Also, journalism was introduced to the curriculum for the first time and report cards were issued every six weeks. Eight class periods a day were endured by stoical students in 1938. The highlight of the 1939 social season was an all-faculty concert. A collective sigh of relief was breathed by students and teacners in 1940, when plus and minus signs disappeared from report cards. Dr. Miller became Superintendent of Schools in 1943, and three years later Dr. Marion E. Wiles became his assistant. The Columbia University Teachers’ College and the Great Neck High School staff made a cooperative study in 1948 of teaching techniques and activities in the Great Neck schools. The results of their studies comprised three volumes. Spectators were impressed by the ability of the male faculty can-can line, a feature of the 1950 faculty variety show, which was directed by Mr. Boressoff and Miss Makuen. In 1951, attitude marks were added to the scholastic grades on report cards. This year, the grief-stricken sobs of the student body announced the elemination of final exams. Unknown to many, the past twenty-five years have witnessed many changes in the curriculum. The Art Department, for instance, offers two new courses in addition to basic art courses, Discovery of Art,” and Art for Seniors. Students of science in 1930 would be surprised at the difficulty of the course requirements of today. Students up to 1949-50 selected English IV onlp. At this time the Senior English course was divided into various English courses from which a Senior could elect the one which interested him most. Social Studies courses, too, have undergone change. One aspect of this change is the Great Issues” course, which, emphasizing major modern problems, was inaugurated in 1952. Math for Everyday Living” and Navigation”—two courses to give students practical mathematical knowledge, have recently been added to the mathematics’ format. Visual aids have increased greatly in importance during the past twenty-five years. Films, slides, records, and tape recordings are an integral part of classroom technique. Mr. Ruel E. Tucker, serving his twelfth year as principal of Great Neck High School, affirms: It is our constant hope and aim that we should always have an active and alert philosophy adaptable to the best interests and needs of the young people in the community.” In recent years, many exchange teachers became temporarily members of our faculty. Among these were Miss Cullen from England, Mr. Jacques Van Roey from Belgium, and Mr. Young from Seattle. The Great Neck faculty has been represented by Mr. Canfield in Belgium, Mr. Edgar in Seattle, Miss Edholrn in the Panama Canal Zone, and Miss Chisholm in Boise, Idaho. This past year. Miss Crandall has been teaching in France. Most of the teachers in Great Neck High School have led interesting lives outside of school. During his summers, Mr. Laise drove a milk wagon, camped in New England, built lifeboats, farmed in West Vir- ginia, was a night watchman in a shipyard and a giea e wiper on an ocean liner. Mr. Swenson has been and is today an ardent golfer with many trophies testifying to his skill. The Edgars are ardent ttavellers. They haven’t spent a summer in Grtat Neck for ten years, but traveling throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico seems to account for such sacrifices. Mr. Noyes was a principal of a high school, but didn't like the job, so he came to Great Neele to teach biology. He has been sponsor of the Agassiz Club since its inception in 1932. Mrs. DeFreitas taught school on an Indian reservation before coming to Great Neck. Miss O’Connor traveled in the United States and Europe, climbed Mt. Rainier, took hula lessc : s •'i Horoluk', sponsored Junior Players for some time, and is now studying voice. Swatting mosquitoes in the South Pacific” during World War II was a popula pastime of Mr. Maier, sponsor of the G. O. since 1948. An intrepid adventuress is Miss Edholrn, who once scraped death by vi.-iting some .utly Indians on a strange island. She also went to the bottom of the active volcano Vesuvius, where she insists that she saw Baron Munchausen having tea with Vulcan; and put on a diving helmet to go down into the ocean off Bermuda. Master of the Commercial Department, Mr. Douglas (who instructed some of the parents of today’s students and who says that the present generation is doing better work than their parents did) ound trip to Europe last summer. Mr. Zamchick I upper, during a trip to Haiti in the summer of 1940, was astonished to see a whale in the tropic waters. That same year, Mr. Ormsby’s rich baritone voice took first prize at the Atwater-Kent vocal contest. Notes of sadness, however, have crept into the passing years. The death of Miss Olga E. Goehler, head or the Home Ecommics Depart- ment for eighteen years, was a great shock. She was beloved by every- one. During World War II, while courageously serving his country, Mr. Kenneth Sweeney, a respected math teacher, was killed. A plaque was erected in the main hall to his memory; Mr. Robert Colvin, teacher of science, passed away in 1950. A scholarship for students planning to enter the teaching profession, which he loved so well, was founded in his memory. Mr. James Blakemore, who was killed in a plane crash in Iran in 1952, will always be remembered with affection by nis students and many friends. The Blakemore Foundation was established to foster his beliefs in peace and a united world. With great respect we say good- bye to Mrs. Blanche Baker, who retired in 1953 after teaching French, Latin, and Civics in Great Neck High School for thirty-three years. Death has also claimed once well-known faculty members as Mr. Clar- ence Manuel, founder of the school bank, ana Miss Mary O’Connor, Social Studies Department member. The fine reputation of Great Neck High School is a fitting monument to those, living and departed, who have given of themselves so de- votedly in developing happy, intelligent, and conscientious citizens for tomorrow.

We will doubtless remember Mrs. Ward grimly shredding someone's Magnum Opus of “I shall not chew gum in class written 600 times in the most careful script; we may see the guided missile expert, Mr. de Laura, flicking paper balls at the basket from across the room (he never misses).

We had been kept so busy by Uncle Fagin again, filching lady’s handkerchiefs to pay yearbook expenses, that we almost forgot a lunch- eon date with the printer yesterday afternoon. When we arrived at the restaurant, that worthy was found eating toothpicks and devising schemes for overcharging us enough to line his swimming pool with Florentine mosaic. Later, as we sat discussing business problems, a copy staff representative broached him with the question which concerned us all so vitally. Tell us, sir, how should we handle the writing of the Great Neck High School Class organizations?” Lost in thought for all of thirty seconds he broke the expectant hush finally with: How about an epic poem? Why they're all the rage now,” he said, rising in excitement. Just look at Longfellow!” We all looked at Longfellow, who had just come in and was ordering a rolled beef sandwich. But the idea is old, mon vieux,” declared the editor, turning away. What we want is something vibrant, sparkling, full of life.” Emotionally overcome with vertigo, the printer stumbled out the door, leaving us to pay the check. Finally we decided to present the history as what it really is—a vast and significant human drama. • • The first Senior class to graduate from the present Great Neck High School on Polo Road did so in 1930. Succeeding Senior classes adopted the custom and, since then, one Senior class had graduated annually, and this year’s Senior class will doubtless follow suite. Except for the period when the Carlsbad decrees were in effect, there have been many class organizations in Great Neck High School. The class of 1932, sponsored in their Senior year by Miss Mary O’Connor and Mr. John Lusch, elected three officers instead of the usual four, the posts of secretary and treasurer being combined into one office. As was the custom, they also had the right to nominate G. O. officers. This has been duly recorded in modern history books under the title of Le droit du seigneur,” or seniorial rights. In 1932 the Sophomore and Freshman classes were forced under- ground by a decree of the school authorities, who felt that organization of these classes was unnecessary. Soap box oratories and subversive pamphlets indicated that the feeling was reciprocal. In 1934, G. O. officers were still nominated from among the ranks of the Seniors. The members of the Class of 193S hold the distinction of being the first to have completed both their junior high and senior high school educations in the new building. It was the largest class to have gradu- ated up to that time, having the record breaking number of one hun- dred fifty-five members. Dues, necessary to finance the various Senior activities, were set at ten cents a week. Perhaps the most important of the Senior projects was the publication of the Arista, which, at that time, featured the Senior class. 1935’s grads held a supper dance, the first of its kind in history. In 1937, the Senior class, through its officers and council, again levied a tax of ten cents a week to help pay for Senior activities. Some Seniors, misguidedly believing that they didn’t have sufficient representation, dressed as Indians, raided the cafeteria and threw all the milk overboard into the light court. Election time rolled around for the Seniors of 1938 and, for the only time in the history of class organizations, a girl was elected Senior Class president. The highlight of the year was a grand prom accompanied by a banquet. Although an unsuccessful attempt was made at organizing the Class of ’39 during its Junior year, they were well co-ordinated as a Senior class. So proud were the members to be Seniors that they sported class hats and pins and ruled on Senior Day.” It is true that the student administration unsuccessfully voted a government subsidy for members of their class, but we are sure this was only because of the gay mood of the day. The Class of 1940 was the first to successfully organize as Juniors since 1930. Class officers were elected and a festive Junior Prom was held. As Seniors, sponsored by Mr. John Lusch, who had sponsored the previous ten Senior classes, they established an executive council com- posed of three representatives from each of the Senior homerooms. This council approved a constitution which became the basis of its government. In the same year, the dream of having a Senior Room was fulfilled. Supervised by Senior hostesses, the room became a Senior haven during study halls. Tea was served every afternoon at four, and the refugees danced the gavotte and the stately minuet to the accom- paniment of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The class also held a Senior Day, and, showing a cooler head than their predecessors, simply tried to close school for the week. For some reason, the attempt was unsuccessful. During their Junior year the Class of ’41 initiated the present custom of buying Senior rings and pins. The class established an executive council as Juniors and held a successful prom while Seniors. The Class of 1942 was again fortunate in having a Senior Room. At commence- ment exercises a class orator was substituted for the usual outside speaker. A feature initiated by the Class of '45 was a monthly mimeographed newspaper, the first news sheet in the school’s history devoted exclusively to Senior activities. For some obscure reason, it was called the Bwang. This was undoubtedly the stimulus for other frivolities, such as a here- tofore unheard of Valentine’s Day party. In February, the Senior Room was again opened as a study hall refuge for Seniors. A closely knit, very spirited class, the Class of ’4 S organized and published a class news- paper, the Hubba Hubba Herald. Homerooms sported such imaginative signs as Gordon’s Goons,” Ma’s Menagerie,” Admiral Perry’s Brig,” Duncan’s Dungeon, and The Hole of Fame.” A red and white Senior banner, which all the homerooms coveted, was awarded each marking period to the homerooms having the best average in marks, attendance and dues payment. The highlights of that year were a hilarious Fashion Show,” given by Senior boys, and the aforementioned Junior-Senior Valentine party, the Senior Prom and dinner and Senior Day. After completing organization in the fall of their Junior year, the Class of 1947 held an extremely successful party and prom. Warren Pffaf was elected president of the class for both years. The Senior Room was reinstated in December, after an absence of a year. Other high- lights of the year were the Senior party, complete with shoe scrambles and hula dancers; Senior Daze, the class newspaper; Senior Day and the Prom. A number of boys, who had left school for the armed forces during the war, were welcomed back to finish their educations in 1947. A baby picture contest, prom, and a Junior-Senior Valentine party were memorable events in the Class of ’48 s Junior year. As Seniors, they established a sort of hippodrome among Senior Rooms. Tropical breezes lulled the B” average Seniors, while uniformed lackeys polished their shoes and an IBM machine figured their homework. A class newspaper, Senior Noose, and a daily bridge club were also enjoyed by the Seniors. The class officers and council arranged for a Junior- Senior party and the traditional Senior prom. This class was not without its personalities. High among these was Ann Hyde, who placed fourth, and first among girls, in the Pepsi Cola National Scholarship examina- tions; and David Hayt, who received an honorable mention in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. In 1948, for the first time since 1932, the Sophomore class was or- ganized. As Seniors, this class came up with a first” by initiating the custom of having a Senior breakfast. Herman Wouk, the author, was guest speaker at this event, during which Seniors consumed two hundred seventy orders of bacon and eggs as well as the first two periods of the day. The traditional Junior-Senior Valentine party was forgone in favor of an all Senior party held at the Youth Center. The 1950 Seniors also took in the sun during the Jones Beach trip. Soon after came the Senior Prom, Regents, and finally graduation. As Sophomores the 1951 grads drew up a constitution, elected class officers and a council, held an informal picnic and the first Sophomore Hop in school history. When Juniors they sported orange and blue crew hats bearing the class numerals. During their Senior year they sponsored a class newspaper the Spirit of '51, and held homeroom competition in volleyball. Every student in the Class of 1952 was a member in good standing. The dues helped to pay for the Senior Prom; a Senior party, which featured games, dancing, a pie eating contest and an all-male baking contest; the Senior Breakfast; dinner; and an outing at Jones Beach. As a class, the members generously donated five hundred dollars to the North Shore Hospital Fund. During their Sophomore year, 1953 graduates held the first Sopho- more dance in school history— Heavenly Daze.” Class rings were dis- played for the first time at the Junior Prom, Arabian Nights,” which was moved up from the traditional spring night into January. One of the Class of 1953's outstanding members was Norman Strax, a winner in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. Since 1929 Sophomore classes have become Junior classes. Junior classes have become Senior classes, and a Senior class has graduated each year. It is said that this year’s Senior class will graduate also ... a testimonial to their hard work and perseverance. We hope that Great Neck High School will always graduate a Senior class, and that each in its own way, will be a credit to the school. SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT: H. Gideons© Photo finish THE record of the class of 1954 is the record of a group with unusual energy and many accomplishments. It set high standards from the start and in three years grew to even greater unity and co-operativeness. SENIOR CLASS VICE-PRESIDENT: A. Bonneou SENIOR CLASS SECRETARY: P. McDougle An unwritten tradition was broken in 1951 when the class was officially organized with a girl, Betty Auld, as President. As Sophomores, the class danced and played at their first affair, the “Parda, a combination party and dance. A picnic, held several months later was also a success. The Junior year saw more innovations. In addition to the Council, an Advisory Board was set up to examine new ideas and make recom- mendations to the Council. The board, a cross section of the class, was particularly effective SENIOR CLASS TREASURER: J. Zinner SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL: First row, loft to right—H. Gideonse. Second row—P. McDougle, J.

A male chorus line per- formed a can-can in a manner the French couldn't hope to equal. To climax the year a colorwar took place at the Junior Picnic in which the Orange team battled the Blue. Then in the fall of 1953 the climb upward ended and members of the class found them- selves in the exalted position of Seniors. They celebrated this coming of age with a gala Senior Party entitled “Eckscapades. Again the class divided into Orange and Blue teams with the Oranges emerging victorious. Pat Uchill proved that females can eat faster than males by winning the pie eating contest. One of the daintiest chorus girls was Class Sponsor Mr. Eck, whose graceful high kicks were praised by all. The party was only the beginning of a busy year highlighted by the Senior Prom, the Jones Beach excursion, and the Senior Dinner. Because the cafeteria was too small to accommodate the entire class, there was no Senior Breakfast. Lead- ing the class activities were: Hank Gideonse, President; Ann Bonneau, Vice-President; Pa- tricia McDougle, Secretary; and John Zinner, Treasurer. Much of the success of the class can be attributed to the guidance of Mr. William Eck, Class Sponsor. As Seniors, this active class outdid itself in breaking records. It obtained one hundred per cent membership in the G. O., ninety-eight per cent class membership, and ninety per cent at- tendance at the Senior Party. Looking back on the past year the 380 Seniors will remember: being the first to leave assem- blies; having Senior privileges; receiving class ranks; and taking College Board exams. But most of all they’ll just remember their carefree days as Seniors of 1954. 24 Apfelbaum, Barton Lewis, Thaddeus Arvine, Roberta Lewiston, Janet Auld, Elisabeth London, Paul Austen, Ralph Lowenstein, Ellen Beenstock, Barbara Malkary, Audrey Berk, Philip Mayer, Carol Ehrlich, Barbara Medwin, Marlene Gavel, Sally Milman, Dorothy Gideonse, Hendrik November, Robert Goldstein, Mark Parker, Alice Hertiberg, Susanne Penner, Paula Holcomb, Philo Perlin, Judith Kass, Joanne Pinnella, Ann Kaye, Elinor Ross, Leonard Kramer, Michael Rothman, Marilyn Kwan, Suzanne Seal, Jane Laden, Paula Secord, James Levin, Mona Urban, Barbara Zinner, John The perennial battle of the sexes rages on as the boys in a mighty tug of war at their Junior this year's Senior girls combine forces against picnic.

Intelligent, hard-working, and anxious to learn, Alan's interest in science led him to the vice-presidency of the Math Club and membership in the Agassiz and Chemistry clubs. Alan had hoped to continue in the field of science, perhaps studying medicine. Outstanding in social studies, he was G. O. Representative, and this year was elected as vice-president of the Student World Federalists. The entire school regrets that a classmate, with such a promising future, came to such an untimely end. 57 0.7 to a fine start in the pie eating contest at the senior party, Dick Vuolo and Mona Levin have acquired the unique appendages of whipped cream beards.

EXCITEMENT ran high as the last ballots were counted in the elections and it was an- nounced that the new leaders of the Junior Class were to be: Matt Rubin, President; Dotsy Freed- man, Vice-President; Kay Brinkley, Secretary; and Steve Witt, Treasurer. The many problems which arose concerning the Prom and other class activities were sent to the Junior Council, an advisory group composed of a representative from each homeroom. A new feature initiated by the Council this year was the distribution of mimeographed minutes of each council meeting to all Junior homerooms. One of the Council's first accomplishments was setting class dues at $2.25 and organizing the mem- bership drive. A vital factor in the success of this undertaking was a publicity committee headed by Sonny Albert. Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Helen Mammen and Layout Editor Margo Fleer, the class newspaper, THE 55’ER, was published sev- JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Left to right—Vice-President, Dotsy Freedman; Secretary, Kay Brinkley; President, Mat Rubin; Treasurer, Steve Witt; Miss Stevens, Sponsor. own y With orange juice streaming down their faces, Messy situation—egg rolling contest at this year's Laurie Heller and Pete Alpert race to the finish Junior Party. in a relay at the Junior Party.

In a gala ceremony which highlighted the evening, Alvin Stern and Puffy Cahn were crowned King and Queen by Prom co-chairmen Lee Simes and Larry Shapiro, who were greatly responsible for the success of the Prom. The royal couple was attended by Andy Buhler and Hugh Musof, along with Bunny Fox and Jim Steelman. Ring, pin, or key?—many Juniors had a dif- ficult time making the choice. However, after thoughtfully viewing the sample jewelry which was displayed in the front hall show-case, the decisions were made. In early spring the eagerly awaited jewelry arrived and was proudly ex- hibited by the happy owners. The last big social events of the Junior year came in the spring when the Class held an informal gathering featuring square dancing and games, and its very popular annual picnic which featured outdoor activities. Both events were outstanding successes. Miss Louise Stevens was the Junior Class Sponsor and her patience and understanding co-ordinated the class into a closely knit unit. Ellie Fried and Dave Peirez depart from the Hawaiian style to exhibit their terpsichorean talents in the samba. 63 Left to right—Pot Schiff, Treosurer; Roger Duhl, Vice- President; Jane Gory, Secretory; Dove Vaules, President; Mr. Nagell, Class Sponsor. WITH the fall election of officers, the Class of '56 put its best foot forward and took its first steps on the road to a highly successful Sophomore year. Guided by class President David Vaules, Vice- President Roger Duhl, Secretary Jane Gary, and Treasurer Pat Schiff, and with the understanding assistance of class sponsor, Mr. Al Nagell, the Sophomore Council was organized early in the year. The constitution was soon ratified and the group under way. Among the council’s most im- portant duties were the dues and membership drive, in which over 90% of the class bought tickets, and the decision to have class beanies. The orange and blue class caps were purchased by many Sophs and were proudly exhibited around the school. “Snowflake Shenanigans,” the class party held on December 1 2 co-chairmened by Rosalie Schwartz and Ken Haupt, was the highlight of the year. The three hundred Sophs who at- tended were divided into teams and participated in many informal games and contests. They danced to the music of a small instrumental Only Quedt i on of Di ime SOPHOMORE CLASS COUNCIL: first row, left to right—R. Vaules, B. Litz, A. Levin, R. Schwartz, P. Neuworth, P. Schiff.

Top- ping the gala evening was a ceremony in which Alfonso Balducci and Natalie Chinitz were crowned Sophomore King and Queen. The annual class picnic, the second big event of the year for Sophomores, was held in the spring and proved to be a fine follow-up of the Soph party. Through the efforts of the journalism classes, a class newspaper, Cool Copy, was organized and enjoyed by the entire class. Although they were members of the high school for only one year, the Class of '56 be- came a vital part of the school. The members of this spirited, closely knit class enjoyed much suc- cess in their Sophomore year and look forward to the same success in their remaining school years. Hawaii comes to Great Neck in the person of Mary Ann Mayer dancing an authentic hula at the Junior Prom. Deeply engrossed in a world-shaking discussion, Freshmen girls enjoy their favorite period of the day. Dcct.uj Freshmen girls, Connie Coogan and Rachael Glosser, represent their class's contribution to the Arista sales. The yearbook is in the chips! DUE to overcrowded conditions in the Junior High School, half of the Freshman Class en- tered Great Neck High this year. Everyone, in- cluding the Freshmen themselves, wondered just how well they would keep their place in a school where they were the youngest, least experi- enced, and in such great minority. It has become evident that the Freshmen have overcome these disadvantages. Although the class itself was not organized. Freshmen repre- sented their social studies classes in the G. O., while others were G. O. salesmen and Red Cross representatives. No projects were undertaken by the class as a whole, but members with special interets joined clubs and organizations open to the whole school. Many Freshmen participated in after-school sports. It must be said that the Freshmen, handi- capped as they were, made a fine showing dur- ing their first year in Great Neck High.

Let the great world spin forward down the ringing groove of change.” With these immortal words, Alfred Lord Tennyson recognized the importance of progress. Progress is the supreme characteristic of the history of civilization, and it is through the passage of time alone that change, the great agent of progress, can do its work. The development of the Great Neck High School system during the past quarter-century may be cited as a fine example of this principle. One of the elements of the school’s growth has been the student’s interest in the extra-curricular activities program offered by the school. The development of its extensive program shall be related here. History, called that inconstant jade” by Carlyle (not Thomas Car- lyle, but Gus Carlyle, one of the first school custodians) records that between the years of 1930 and 1944 there existed some 32 activities, which, for the sake of advancement,” are now defunct. Although hardly a man is now alive who remembers the names of all these ac- tivities, some research in the Arista archives afforded the information for the following chronological sequences. 1930 ... the students found an outlet for their journalistic aspira- tions in the publication of a literaty magazine, the Macaw. A girls’ athletic group, the Girls’ Letter Club was started, as well as two creative skills groups, the Senior Craft Club and the Senior Sketch Club. 1932 ... A group of students investigating the possibilities of transmuting lead ingots into straight A” report cards organized the Bunsen Burners Club. The Almanac Handbook, a production of the journalism students, helped students to plan their programs. The Domecon Club visited homemaking centers. The Forensics, Great Neck High’s debating team, won manv local and Long Island prizes, and were best known locally for their habits of chewing pebbles and de- livering orations to the Long Island Sound on stormy days. Besides learning the various phases of photography, the Lens Club members were active on the Arista staff. 1933 . . . Something new and startling appeared on the horizon. On the spot witnesses concurred to the likeli- hood of its being a model plane, built by one of the members of the Aero Club for the Air Pageant at Roosevelt Field. The G. N. R. A. campaign, which secured a New Deal” for students, was successfully managed by Mr. Meyer’s Advertising Agency. 1937 . . . The delicate bouquet of burning water wafted through the halls around the culinary endeavors of the Chef’s Club. Miss Edholm advised the Writer’s Club. The Medical Club increased its members’ knowledge of medical science and discussed such fine points as the painless extraction of fees. 1938 ... In a final effort to discover the secret of perpetual motion and the Philosopher’s Stone, Mr. Snyder established the Qualitative Analysis Club. The same year, the Forensics were replaced by the Fili- busters. 1939 ... In a dazzling burst of light, the Lighting Club, which was in charge of the lighting effects of all dramatic productions, blew out every fuse on the North Shore. 1940 . . . Neuroses and the Id were investigated by members of the Psychology Club, who were fondly remembered bv their classmates for the construction of a lie-detector. The Hiking Club was organized in the interest of collecting chiggers and bunions. Faculty members told of their travels to members of the Explorer’s Club. This year also saw a group of students who were peculiarly sensitive about sitting down. These were members of the Boys’ Riding Club and the Girls’ Riding Club. The Betty Lamp Club sold refreshments to hungry sports en- thusiasts at high school athletic events. A pall of gloom hung over those students with long hands when an exclusive commercial club, the Shorthand Club, was organized. The pool at Adelphi was used every Thursday afternoon by the Swimming Club, one of whose mem- bers, Sugar” Sahner, would have participated in the 1940 Olympics had they not been postponed. 1942 . . . The Star Circle Club was organized. Its members were students who hadn’t missed a day of school in one of the preceding two years. Its duties were the same as those of the Attendance Group of today. Perhaps the most noteworthy contribution of the 218 Club was the mural of student life in the cafeteria, which was finished in 1941. Hungry students filched bits of crepe suzettes and pate de foie gras pie from the headquarters of the Cottage Club, predecessor of the Home Economics Club. Mr. Singer’s Communication Club learned the Morse Code from army records. Two members of this club later earned distinction by carrying the message from Ghent to Aix. 1944 . . . Mem- bers of Miss Perry’s Navigation Club discovered the pole star and succeeded in opening the Northwest Passage. Having chronicled the glories of the obsolete, we will now relate the wonders of the present. The oldest club in Great Neck High School is the Boys’ Hi-Y, which was formed in 1928 in the old building. Its members were chosen for outstanding service to both school ana community. In its early years the Hi-Y gave annual banquets to honor our illustrious football teams. This was later to be supplanted by an annual school dance. One of this service group’s assignments was the ushering and managing of school assemblies. This group also sponsored the Evan C. Brunner Memorial Award, given to the most outstanding science students in memory of Mr. Brunner’s honor. In 1945, the George Rennerman Award was founded, an award given to the most outstanding Senior baseball player. George, a very popular member of Great Neck High’s graduating class of 1941, was killed in World War II. The General Organization began humbly as the Student Council. Organized in 1929, the Council’s purpose was to promote student gov- ernment and stimulate school-wide cooperation. The Student Council existed until 1939, when it was replaced by the G. O., as we know it today. The birth of the G. O. was also the advent of such familiar institutions as the G. O. Salesmen, the G. O. Bank, the G. O. Assembly, and the Club Senate. In 1945 the G. O. Seal, which appears on our G. O. ticket was designed. About this time came the organization of the Student-Faculty Committee. Many more subcommittees beneficial to the student, have since been established, including the G. O. Store, Publicity Committee, Great Neck Greeters, Assembly Planning Com- mittee, and the Order of Business Committee. Through the past twenty- five years the Student Council and the G. O. have accomplished many things which make the life of students more pleasant anc many productive. The school paper, the Guide Post, had a fitful series of births and deaths, and was now cheered, now mourned, by the student body. In 1938, however, its permanency was assured. Pernaps Great Neck High would never have had a newspaper had it not been for the assignment Mr. Cook, a former English teacher, gave to his English classes. The students were asked to write suggestions as to what Great Neck High needed most. Despite proposals for a good five-cent cigar or free lunches, Jimmie” Jarvis’ eloquent plea for a newspaper won the sympathy of teachers and pupils alike, and the Guide Post was soon an indispensable part of school life. Since its inception in 1929, the Arista has documented annually the events of the school year. Although it is now a school-wide project, the Arista was originally produced exclusively for and by Seniors. Mr. Douglas was Arista’s first sponsor. Its second sponsor was Mr. Harry Hale Smith. He was succeeded by Mr. Booke, who was followed by Mr. Roy Penner, who was followed by Miss Edholm. This year Mr. Booke resumed his duties as copy advisor. Throughout its history, Arista’s high standards have been responsible for winning many citations and awards. Although started years earlier the Girls’ Hi-Y resumed its activities in 1935. The first members of the Hi-Y were cheerleaders, who also performed various hall duties. Besides raising money for their annual scholarship fund, the club also provided hungry football game spectators with refreshments. For a while there were two Hi-Y groups, a junior group which prepared Christmas baskets for the needy and operated the Lost and Found, and a senior group, whose members were ushers and hostesses and who sponsored the scholarship. The Girls’ Hi-Y has always tried to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and the community high principles of Christian character.’’ Besides arousing the enthusiasm of spectators at sporting events with their lively renditions, the Band has given many excellent concerts, in- cluding broadcasts over station WKBS. The smell of grease paint and a surge of activity each spring and fall have become familiar to Great Neck High students since January, 1930, when the Junior Players Club gave its first production. The club has assisted annually in the production of the Christmas pageant as well as giving its own excellent annual productions. One of tne club’s pro- ductions won a set of James Barrie’s plays in the North Shore One-Act Play Contest. Particularly outstanding shows given by this group were: I Remember Mama” in 1949, Our Town” in 1950, Star Wagon” in 1951, and Allegro” in 1952. Our Forum, the grandchild of the previous debating societies, or- ganized the mock conventions and presidential elections of 1952. Hope and cheer have been brought to many people in various in- stitutions by our Junior Red Cross since its beginning in 1931. By preparing generous Thanksgiving baskets, this school organization has given joy to many needy people. The Camera Club, offspring of the Lens Club, has been of much help to the Guide Post and Arista. The plant and animal kingdoms have been the special domain of the members of the Agassiz Club, under the leadership of Mr. Noyes, who has sponsored the club for many years. Many have wondered at the strange odors reminiscent of Sish Kabab and sauteed pheasant (actually, burning peanut butter cookies) which accumulated in the halls. They can invariably be traced to the head- quarters of the Home Economics Club, successor of the Cottage Club. In 1952, the amateur philatelists of the school banded together in an association known as the Stamp Club. Our Club Senate, once known as the G. O. Assembly, was established in 1940. The Chess Club, begun in 1935, is believed to have been responsible for the compilation of Ye Game and Play of Chess,” the first book printed by the late William Caxton on his movable type press. The A Cappella was formed in 1937 with ten members in contrast to the eighty-two members in 1953-54. For some years past they have caroled in Grand Central Station, at Christmas time, in addition to their always excellent school programs. Solving equations in four minutes, which would take the average electronic calculator half a century, is just one of the pastimes indulged in by members of the Math Club, in existence since 1929. Thespians, the honor society for Junior Players members, was or- fanized in 1939, and manages our exchange assemblies as well as pro- ucing many plays. The clatter of wooden clogs, the smell of sizzling veal ragout, and cries of ’’valet de chambre!” and Nom du Chien” are invariably heralds of a meeting of the French Club, formed in 1942. In 1948 the Youth Center (a get-together spot for Great Neck teens) was opened. The Alumni News was sent, in 1947, to all the members of the pre- vious graduating class rather than just those in the armed services. Its first sponsor, Miss Patton, was succeeded by Mr. Maier in 1949. The Fire Wardens was first started by Mr. Daly, as a fire drill com- mittee. In 1952, a group of girl fire wardens was added to the all-male group. The Assembly Planning Committee was organized in 1947. Ralph Bunche, Chester G. Williams, and many other notable personalities have participated in the United Nations Week assembly sponsored by the active United Nations Youth. The Guidance Committee was formed in 1947 for those students in- terested in helping their fellow students. A plastic android, a living brain encased in a coke bottle, and a giant (7 foot high) metal robot nave been speakers at recent Science Fiction Club meetings. This group was organized in 1952. In 1951, aspiring educators united under the aegis of the Future Teachers of America. Aid was given to new students by the Great Neck Greeters Committee, organized in 1951. Sponsored by Miss Patton, they also sent condolence cards, along with copies of the Guide Post to sick students and teachers. The Key Club, a chapter of a national oganization, is a comparatively new club in the high school. The desire to help needy families prompted its creation. The history of our extra-curricular activities program has been a rich and diversified one. The future depends upon the initiative and imagi- nation of the students of Great Neck High School. President—Howie Welson Vice-President—Mike Cohn Secretary—Jo-Ann Wallace Treasurer—Bill Herbold Voice of the people WITH a slate of competent officers, enthusiastic plans for the coming year, and more than five hundred dollars in the treasury, the General Organi- zation began to function in September. This year several hundred students were active members of the G. O., as they participated in such activities as the Alumni News, the G. O. Store, and the G. O. Bank; and served on such committees of the Assembly as the Supreme Court, the Cafeteria, Pub- licity, and many temporary committees. The ticket-selling campaign, which resulted in the addition of over two thousand dollars to the treasury, was inaugurated in September at an assembly pro- gram produced by the students. An entertaining skit traced the “history of the G. O. ticket through the Prehistoric Age, the Roman Era, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance and finally the American Revolution. In one of the most important actions of the year Richard Wolf was chosen Chief Justice of the G. O. Supreme Court. The Associate Justices were Seniors Betty Auld and Robert November, Juniors Dudley Dan- off and Michael Whiteman, and Sophomores Kenneth Haupt and Max Tenenbaum. Although Freshmen were not included on the Su- preme Court, the officers made a distinct effort to en- courage ninth graders to join other committees. As the year progressed, the G. O. began to oper- ate more smoothly with the assistance of certain com- mittees. Matthew Rubin's Order of Business Committee, G. O. REPRESENTATIVES: Clockwise, inside to outside — B. November, A.

Haas. ♦he Cafeteria Committee, the Student-Faculty Commitee, and Paul London's Constitution Com- mittee all helped to make the G. O. a more effi- cient organization. However, it would be safe to say that in spite of the good achieved by the above committees, the interest of the student body was centered on the School Spirit Committee. This group was faced with the problem of making a final deci- sion on a school mascot—a problem which had been discussed vociferously in the G. O. Assem- bly and in social studies classes since Blazer, the goat, was sold several years ago. A faction which wanted a live giraffe as a mascot, was finally suppressed, as was the idea of an expensive costume to be worn by a tall boy roller-skating. It was decided that a papier-mache giraffe would be built by a committee of volunteers. So ended one of the most pressing issues in G. O. history! (Note to graduates reading this Arista in 1970: the giraffe is looked upon as an ap- propriate animal for a mascot, because of its great neck. ) Dance committees, as usual, drew the great- est number of volunteers. Work began on the Silver Jubilation early in October. This fall dance commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of ♦he General Organization, co-chairmaned by Ann Bonneau and Alvin Stern, was attended on October 24, by several hundred students. The next dance was the February 6 Scholarship Dance, whose proceeds were given to the schol- arship fund started by the G. O. for a special G. O. scholarship. Barbara Abrams and Peyton McDonald directed the activities of the commit- tees for this dance. The spring dance was held on March 20. Publicity for the dances, as well as for the ticket-selling campaign and other functions of ♦he G. O., was under the chairmanship of Rob- erta Arvine. 72 G. O.

He made his temporary home at Alan Kaplan's house; and when he was not attending Alan's classes, Gun- nar spoke to various social studies classes, and addressed a Freshman-Sophomore assembly. Dorothy Milman was the chairman of the G. O. committee which planned Gunnar's activities dur- ing his stay in Great Neck. One of the hard-working G. O. sub-commit- tees was the Assembly Planning Committee, which arranged interesting assemblies for pres- entation to the student body. For several years this has been an especially difficult job, since the two divisions of the senior high school must have separate assemblies. G. O. Vice-President Michael Cohn was head of the group this year, and Mr. Bernard Boressoff was the sponsor. Among the memorable assemblies during the 1953-54 year were: a professional quartet known as “The Imperial Singers,” which ap- peared at a Freshman-Sophomore assembly; The Holbrooks, a dramatic duo, who presented a hilarious scene from a Moliere comedy, and an equally amusing scene showing Mark Twain's G. O. BANK: Left to right—F. Comesky, M. Ninesling. sense of humor, for Juniors and Seniors. The committee was also credited with arranging the Baldwin exchange assembly. The G. O. Store, this year, was under the supervision of Myrna Klahr and Mark Silver- man. Located in a closet” next to room 109, the store was used daily by many students. With SUPREME COURT: Left to right—D.

The G. O. Bank is another important branch of the General Organization, although not as well known by the student body as some of the other G. O. divisions. Under the leadership of Mr. Black, Frances Comesky, Mary Ninesling, and Lenny Simon handled approximately $25,- 000 a year. All the financial transactions of the extra-curricular activities in the school go through the bank. Operated like any other bank, they handle checks, statements, with only a slight charge. As President of the G. O. for 1953-54 school year, Howard Welson became a most familiar figure as he addressed the students at assembly programs. On many occasions he could be heard announcing from the stage that “the seniors will pass first. All the officers did an excellent job in lead- ing the largest student body in the history of Great Neck High School. ALUMNI NEWS EDITORS: First row, left to right—K. Epstein, E.

It also in- formed each alumnus of where his fellow-gradu- ates are, and what they are doing. Instead of being mimeographed, as has been the custom in previous years, this year the Alumni News was a printed news-sheet. CLUB SENATE: First row, left to right—M. Cohn, President; E. Green, A.

Living up to its name, Arista has tried to maintain high journalistic standards. The year- book staff, headed by Editor-in-Chief Linda Sidon, endeavored to make the '54 Arista the best by innovating many features. During the past few years, the yearbook training class, which met twice weekly, greatly assisted in the production of the yearbook. For- mer editors received their training in this way. This year, because of lack of space caused by increased student enrollment, the training class was discontinued. For this reason regular Monday and Thursday copy meetings were expanded to include Wed- nesday. More rigid schedules were imposed, and staff members worked hard and late to meet their deadlines. The Copy Editor, Wini Shore, was in charge of editing all the writing in the Arista. Her staff included: Activities Co-Editors Bobbi Brizel and Marianne O'Brien, whose job it was to compile all copy on clubs and organizations, Captions ARISTA SUB-EDITORS: Left to right—M. O'Brien, M.

The newly created posts of Co-ordinator, Classes Editor, and Identification Editor were held by Carol Mayer, Sonny Albert, and Bobbi Fink re- spectively. Janet Lewiston was responsible for the typing of all approved copy. While the copy was being written, Produc- tion Manager Alan Elias and his assistant, Bobbi Eisenberg, were preparing the layout. The lively photographs, both candid and informal poses, were snapped by Dick Jaffe's photography staff. Pat Uchill and her art staff, with the help of art sponsor. Miss Wiersma, were responsible for the cover design and section dividers. Kenny Spiewak and Jerry Shull and their business department, along with Richard Burns' advertising staff, worked steadily to keep Arista financially in the black. As subscriptions go up, prices go down was again the slogan of the sales campaign. Credit for the record num- ber of books sold goes to Jerry Shull and his staff. Co-Business Editors Ken Spiewak and Jerry Shull The Faculty, Classes and Activities dividers were written by Dennis Fluhardy; the Athletics divider was written by Michael Magzis. As has been the custom for a number of years. Arista sent representatives to the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Associated Convention held at Columbia University. These representatives returned with many useful suggestions for new and better techniques in yearbook production. This year Arista had two new sponsors. Miss Camilla Edholm, who retired after nine years as copy sponsor, was ably replaced by Mr. Harry Booke, a former Arista sponsor. Mr. Douglas Davis took Mr. William Black's position as busi- ness-production sponsor. 77 Typing Editor Jonet Lewiston Mr. Booke, Miss Wiersma and Mr. Davis check final dummy.

IN the depth of a dark grotto, one small light burned brightly. It illuminated several hag- gard faces, piles of chewed pencils, and torn paper. The atmosphere was one of great ten- sion. In these mysterious quarters, only one thing could be happening—the Guide Post staff was meeting a Friday night deadline. Babsie Beenstock and Dottie Milman, Co-Editors-in- Chief, watched over the laboring students while Managing Editor Ralph Austen cracked the cat- o-nine tails over anyone refusing to work. Under the top-brass and the able sponsorship of Mr. Jack Fields the staffs functioned effectively and efficiently. Each Wednesday, as the students read the finished product, the news page caught their attention. Carol Barnett, with the assistance of Connie Redman, kept the student body well- informed, but their attention soon traveled to the feature page where they could enjoy liter- ary masterpieces. These interviews, composi- tions, humor, etc. were edited by Dick Taub, assisted by Charlotte Kahn. Backing Great Neck's athletic teams during the sport season were Bill Sanders and his assistant Steve Doniger. Phil Berk gathered bits of “this-and-that as Ex- change Editor for his column Xenographs. To GUIDE POST EDITORS: Lett to right—Mr. Fields, Sponsor; R. Austen, B. Beenstock, D.

Working hand in hand with the Editorial Board was the business staff headed by Business Man- ager Judy Perlin. Co-advertising Managers Gail Fink and Stan Wilker trudged wearily about town soliciting ads to maintain the paper’s financial stability. Ellen Matlick and her staff became mailmen, Wednesdays, as they distributed the paper to homerooms and mailed it to alumni subscribers. The blunt fingers and calloused hands of Ruth Orenstein and staff bore witness to the amount of necessary typing to be done, while Office Manager Pat Uchill did all the odd jobs that everyone else forgot. Martin Markowitz and Ken Kellerman, Guide Post photography editors for 1954-55, are planning their picture-taking strategy (or next year. As the last months of the school year approach, the new Guide Post editors, Carol Barnett, Con- nie Redman, Dick Taub and Charlotte Kahn, as- sume their newly-appointed responsibilities. 81 t oom A LL the world’s a stage and the men and § women merely players. JUNIOR PLAY- ERS, of course! Wednesday afternoon—the halls of the school were silent and deserted. In the auditorium there was a look of hushed expectan- cy upon the students’ faces. The curtain was aboui to rise on another Junior Players club pro- gram. Future Barrymores and Bernhardts were beginning to have butterflies and the usual pre- penormance jitters. All were careful not to whistle in the dressing-room. The club programs, which were presented twice a month at the club meetings, were the preliminaries to the two major presenations given in the fall and spring. The problems of rounding-up students to try out for parts in various programs was never a head- ache for Mr. Boressoff, the sponsor, or any of the officers. The task that become most difficult was narrowing down the droves of enthusiastic JUNIOR PLAYERS OFFICERS: First row, left to rights M. Kramer, Vice-President; Mr. Boressoff, Sponsor; R.

O., and reached its peak in membership this year with 300 members, all of whom were interested in theater arts, of which acting is only one. Members also gained experience in directing, producing, lighting, cos- tumes, scenic designs, and the only element lacking to make it like a real Broadway theater was an old stage-door man. This year's productions were all resounding smash hits beginning with the fall presenta- tion of Arsenic and Old Lace,” the mystery- comedy in which Joan Farber and Marilyn Roth- man portrayed the two lovable sisters whose perverted sense of humor led to the poisoning of thirteen elderly gentlemen. Rounding out the cast were Mike Kramer, Ralph Austen, Bob Gur- fein, Don Olins, and Stephanie Cary, with Har- vey Dale, Paul Rochlin, Phil Mandelker, Mike Richter, Al Kaplan, John Laemle and Dennis Fluharty playing smaller but equally significant roles. The student director was Roberta Arvine. Mr. Rice, who supervised the realistic set exec- uted by Karen Epstein and committee, and Mrs. Ward, who was head of the other committees, were the only faculty membes, excepting director Mr. Boressoff, connected with the production. Playing to the younger, the club presented The Clown Who Ran Away, for a children's pro- gram, with Leo Serebriany cavorting about the stage in the title role arousing from the young audience advice, as well as the expected laugh- ter and sympathy. The spring play, The Mad- woman of Chaillot, was lunatic as the name implies. The title role was executed by Joan Farber, with Joanne Kass, Stephanie Cary, and Barbara Platoff portraying the other three mad- women. The play was directed by Bob Novem- ber and Dave Diamond. This year Junior Players wrote their own script for the Christmas pro- gram, as well as participating in it. Productions are not the sole functions of the group.

A bulletin board committee directed by Ellen Lowenstein and Sue Hertzberg kept stu- dents informed about current dramatic happen- ings, while Carol Mayer maintained a library of plays for the members to enjoy. Hard working Junior Players may become Thespians or receive a gold pin, and especially outstanding members have their names enscribed on the honor roll. The goal of every aspiring young actor is to belong to the THESPIANS, the elite of Junior Players. Becoming a member is dependent upon a point system in which credits are given for devoting much of one’s time to working in such areas of the theatre as acting, directing, scenery, designing, costuming, as a Junior Players' member. 83 BAND: First row, left to right—P.

UNDER the baton of Mr. Paul Koehler, the BAND helped cheerleaders arouse the en- thusiam of Great Neck rooters at all home foot- ball games by accompanying them in Hail Great Neck High School and other popular school songs. To assist the P. T. A. in raising money for its scholarship fund they gave a benefit pro- gram for the public in January. They also pro- vided music for several assembly programs and gave outstanding preformances in the March and May concerts. Among the outstanding Sen- ior musicians of this assemblage were: Hendrik Gideonse, drum major; Robert Kandell and Floyd Mann, clarinetists; and Lewis Weinbaum, drummer. Although last year was the first year of exist- ence for the Three B’s, this group has many enthusiastic members. To join they need only have an appreciation for classical music. The club aims to further this interest by listening to and discussing the compositions of Bach, Bee- thoven, and Brahms. Guest musicians, both stu- dent and professional alike, make for profitable meetings. Mr. Albert Singerman, celebrated pianist, was among guest performers. Following tradition, the ORCHESTRA provided 3B’s, incidental music for Junior Players’ produc- tions, and played at the annual Christmas Pro- gram. Its numbers included a medley of Christmas carols and “the Farandale from Bizet’s “L’Arle- sienne Suite—No. II.” It collaborated with the Senior A Cappella choir to perform “Era of Peace” at the United Nations assembly in Oc- tober.

Do Sin.j A Do J: lue Overcome by the “yuletide spiritthe Senior A Cappella choir enthusiastically carols through the halls. THE Senior choral group of the school, the A CAPPELLA, has many occasions to perform throughout the year. The choir gave Wanamaker shoppers a special treat at Christmas time by entertaining the merry crowd with Yuletide songs. Much “Christmas spirit” was aroused by their caroling through the hallowed” halls of our Alma Mater on the day before Christmas vaca- tion. Travelers in Grand Central Station were serenaded by the choir, too. Other activities engaged in by the group included a perform- ance of “The Era of Peace” at the United Na- tions Week program held in both the Junior and Senior High Schools, the Christmas program, and their annual spring concert in March and May. Along with the Sophomore choral group, the Choristers, and the Junior group, the Choral- iers, the A Cappella was directed by Mr. Clifford Ormsby, head of the music department. 86 CHORAUERS: First row, left to right—C.

One of the most important jobs is obliging stu- dents who have forgotten their locker key. The Hi-Y also “obliges” those students who become hungry at football games or after school on weekdays by selling refreshments. Their list of duties also includes ushering at some of the events in the Auditorium, caring for the front hall bulletin board, running errands for the Guidance Office and Main Office, and acting as hall hostess in the Main Hall. Under the new sponsorship of Miss Duncan, the officers are: Betty Auld, President; Mary Ann Stetson, Vice President; Paula Penner, Secretary; and Roberta Arvine, Treasurer. The only requirements for membership in this organization are a “B” average and a good citizenship record. Their inductions are held once a year, in May. At the next induction, the club plans to admit thirty or forty new members. Mary Lou Harriff, typical Hi-Y girl, directs a vis- itor to the Main Office while serving as a hall hostess.

LOST FOUND Larry Shapiro and helper Bill Rumm look more lost than found while carrying out a Boys' Hi-Y service. ONE of the busiest organizations of the school is the BOYS' ALPHA HI-Y. Its varied activities range from directing crowds at foot- ball games to the distribution of food packages to the needy at Thanksgiving. Everyone at one time or another has visited the Hi-Y-managed Lost and Found. The year was highlighted by the fall induction of sixteen new members and the bestowing of the George Renneman Award, won last year by Ronald Grossman, to the most outstanding base- ball player, for both his athletic ability and sportsmanship. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Sokol, this year's officers include: Frank Gould, President; Frank Gilmartin, Vice-President; Al Stern, Secretary; and Treasurer, Paul London. Svddistance, TJirdt C tc add ALTHOUGH the KEY CLUB was a fairly new addition to the school, it was active in both community and school activities. Co-sponsored by Mr. Turner and the Kiwanis Club, its varied and beneficial activities ranged from delivering Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets to under- privileged families, to ushering at school basket- ball games. The local chapter of the Kiwanis gave a dinner at the Long Island Caterers for the Key Club members in appreciation of the club’s services. Charles Roland was the busy President, Peyton McDonald and Bill Herbold were Vice-Presidents, John Zinner and Al Perl- man were Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Outgoing president Charlie Rolland helps incom- ing president Al Klein take inventory of the Key Club's assets. 90 BOYS' Hl-Y: First row, left to right—A. Stern, Secretory; S. Witt, D. David, F.

Hughes, WORKING as volunteers in the ATTENDANCE OFFICE, a group of students came in both before school and during study hall periods to help Mr. Sokol admit late students, hand out absence lists, and pick up blue slips. Operating the school's sound and projection equipment was the responsibility of a group of volunteer students known as the AUDIO VISUAL AIDS. Under the expert direction of Mr. Douglas Davis, their duties included: working of the public address system at assemblies and sport- ing events, and machines for classroom use.

Sponsored by Mr. Milton Meyers, the FIRE WARDENS met several times at the beginning of the year to organize and plan for the state- required drills. At the sound of the familiar bell, the wardens went into action, making certain that the entire school was evacuated, that all windows and doors were shut, and that lights were turned off. To make doubly certain that everyone had left the building, six girls were added to the all-male staff. Unknown to many was the time-consuming work involved in efficiently running the HEALTH OFFICE. The student assistants gave up their study halls in order to help Mrs. Wright with such important clerical work as correcting and filing the hearing tests taken by the school body in the fall. In addition much of their time was de- voted to receiving phone calls and delivering messages. Checking out books, filing catalogue cards and arranging books are the important duties members of the LIBRARY CLUB performed in order to assist Mrs. Gavey, their sponsor and school librarian. Other jobs which keep the mem- bers busy are keeping shelves and files in order, mending books, and recording of new books. LIBRARY CLUB: First row, loft to right—E. Engel, C. Levanne, M. Coon, S.

HELPING students to plan their future, as well as solving problems confronting these stu- dents, the GUIDANCE COMMITTEE has become one of the most important groups in the school. The work of this group was done by several sub- committees, one of which planned the useful student handbook. Others scheduled college, ca- reer, and vocational conferences; some con- ducted “follow-up studies of graduates, and publicized scholarships and available jobs. Have you wondered what it's like to be a new student at Great Neck High School? The GREAT NECK GREETERS was formed for the purpose of helping new students to familiarize themselves with the school. With Miss Patton as its sponsor, the Planning Committee, consisting of Seniors, Betty Auld and Frank Gould; Juniors, Kay Brinkley and Matt Rubin, Sophomores, Betty Appel and David David; and Freshmen, Jaclyn Grossman and John Bryson, worked on some novel ideas for the benefit of the newcomers. The committee was able to carry out its plans with the assistance of a boy and girl representative from each home- room.

The problem of what to do tonight was easily answered by the YOUTH CENTER, which held dances every month and featured many ac- tivities, including movies, ping-pong, chess tour- naments and open house sessions after special school functions. The Center also sponsored such recreational groups as “learn to dance, “learn to play bridge, and Inter-faith Youth Fellow- ship, which featured discussions and guest speak- ers.

Included in its many other activities were a Christmas party for foreign students of the school; a daily news bulletin-board; a student assembly during U. N. Week; and a trip to the United Nations Building. The filling of fifty-three gift boxes to be sent overseas was the highlight of this year's JUNIOR RED CROSS activities. With Miss Dorothy Colston as sponsor, the club also made an afghan, filled fifty Christmas stockings for hospitalized veter- ans, held a membership drive, and organized a group to entertain at veterans' hospitals and old-age homes. Regular meetings were not necessary, but each Satuday morning a different group of ap- proximately six students traveled to the city where they accompanied a group of under- privileged children on a day's outing. The chil- dren were afforded opportunities to see and do many things that under ordinary circumstances would just be pictures in a book, or a scene on a motion picture screen. The outings included picnics, skating, visits to the Statue of Liberty, the circus, the Empire State Building, the zoo, and numerous museums. RED CROSS CLUB: First row, left to right—C. Webber, E.

THE SCIENCE FICTION CLUB helped its mem- bers gain more enjoyment from this new branch of literature through discussions, news reports, guest speakers, tape recordings, and a growing club library containing more than thirty books. In April, several club members attended a convention in New York City and met some of their favorite science-fiction authors. Auctions, trading, quizzes, color slides and a trip to a stamp exhibition highlighted this year’s activities of the STAMP CLUB. One of America’s leading stamp dealers, Mr. Justin Bacharach, and Mr. Richard Dennelly, Super- visor of the Great Neck Post Office, were two of their prominent guest speakers.

DL Sc i entire The AGASSIZ CLUB encourages those students who were especially interested in biology and scientific experiments. It was for those who pursued laboratory work as a hobby, rather than as a requirement. The group took field trips to zoos and museums so that it could study dif- ferent animals. In the spring and fall field trips were taken. Members were then able to observe plant and animal life commonly found in this area. A seed drive was another of its projects. As in previous years, members were encouraged to enter in the competitive Westinghouse Science Talent Search. CAMERA CLUB'S most important project this year was the preparation of a library exhibit which depicted different phases of school activi- ties. Some of the candid pictures for the Arista were taken by these shutter bugs. CAMERA CLUB: Seated, left to right—R. LeVon, G. Finberg, I. Rappoport. Standing—C. Gilbert, C. Driben, R. Rothman, P.

This year, under the leadership of President Kenneth Kellerman; Vice-President Philo Holcomb; Secretary Eleanor Lewis; Treasurer Bill Hughes; and Sponsor Mr. Singer, the members applied for a license to operate an amateur radio station, for which they built their own equipment. Demonstrations of the functions of various electronic devices such as transmitters, transis- tors, and vacuum tubes were given at the club meetings. In addition to these activities, the group also visited local industries using electronic devices. The CHEMISTRY CLUB exists as an outlet for students who have been interested in chemistry and want to pursue the subject further. It had nearly thirty members this year who met every other Monday throughout the year to engage in such activities as the study of qualitative chem- istry, the study of metals, and the preparation of common household items. Individual projects were encouraged. For students interested in higher mathematics not offered in the classroom, the MATH CLUB was the answer. Use of the slide rule, non- Euclidian geometry, and many other interesting phases of math were experimented with. A num- ber code which spelled out Merry Christmas, along with refreshments, highlighted the Christ- mas Party. Better watch out!

Field trips were arranged so that members could compare the teaching methods used in different schools. F. T. A. raised funds to support an under-privi- leged Indian or Negro child. Carrying the world’s problems on its shoul- ders, the FORUM discussed current events, and local and national problems. Newscasts were given over the public address system every Mon- day and Friday morning at 8:15 by members, to inform the school of the important headline news of the week. With the purpose of discussing current reli- gious and personal problems in a small group, the Interfaith Youth Fellowship met twice a month. Guest speakers included Mr. Kleinbell, Father Huntington, Rabbi Stern, Mr. Tucker, and ex-members who are now in college. FORUM: First row, left to right—M Whiteman, R.

The other afternoon, under no other incentive than a fleeting appre- hension about the coiled bullwhip in the editor’s hand, we decidea to go forth and chronicle the glories of our sports department. As luck would have it, we stumbled across a blind poet who styled himself Omar the Tentmaker and who professed to know the score of every Great Neck game since 1929, since he had sung of the praises of Joe Alexsey, Buckv Sears, Henry Shaw, Howie Cook, the Totura brothers, Henry Kelly, Earl Chamberlain, Tommy Casey, Joe Fluet, Artie Weich- brodt—names that have graced the sports pages of Great Neck’s news- papers in the past twenty-five years. From the very first, the Orange and Blue was a force to be reckoned with. Under the leadership of Coach Bucky Sears and Captain Joe Alexsey, the Great Neck football squad fought to five wins in 1929, while they lost one game and tied one. This was an indication of things to come, for, through 1936, the Blazers triumphed in approximately 75 percent of their games. 1930 saw what is now considered to be one of the two best Great Neck football teams. Undefeated, untied, unscored upon until a post- season game with Valley Stream, which the Blazers won 19-6, the Orange and Blue gridders received an invitation to play in Miami, although it was not accepted. An important reason for the team’s prowess was a line that, from end to end, averaged 196 pounds and a starting backfield that, as a unit, had been the state cnampions the previous spring. The arrival of Coach Earl Chamberlain in 1931 eased the heavy responsibility that Mr. Sears had been carrying. Mr. Chamberlain be- came track and field mentor, leaving Mr. Sears free to initiate a new winter sport, wrestling. Until the sport was removed from Great Neck’s inter-scholastic program in 1945 because of lack of student interest, the Orange and Blue produced two Long Island championship squads and many individual titles. 1934 and 1935 were fine years for Great Neck football teams. With Mr. Sears still the coach, the '34 edition of the Blazers drove to the league crown, losing onlv one of eight games. In 1935 fourteen letter- men, headed by Don and Doug Bangert, Bill Bross, and Hal Mills, led an Orange and Blue crew that stormed through its season, only to be overcome by a combination of Valley Stream and injuries in its final encounter. From 1936 to 1941, the Great Neck athletic star seemed to have fallen. Losing scores predominated the sports’ columns. In 1940, a Boys’ Athletic Association was organized to further boys’ athletic in- terests. Despite the able leadership of President Henry Sh later passed out of existence. In 1942, Great Neck teams again became winners. Players MikeTotura, ‘l, and Henry Kelly, now a phy W$m season. In doing so, the former was named to first-string berth as a now Blazer football coach, and Henrv Kelly, now a physical education teacher at Great Neck Junior High School, led the way to a 5-2 football came up with but average outfits in 1943. Under Mr. guidance, the ’43 squad fo fullback on the Long Island dream team,” while Kelly was named to the second team as an end. That same year, Howie Cook’s 23 points in a basketball game, one point from the Long Island record, was the one bright spot in an otherwise poor season that found Great Neck winning only 3 of 15 games. With the exception of the basketball teams, the Orange and Blue Chamberlain’s ought to second place in the basketball loop and in 1944 the Orange and Blue had their first league championship. 1944 was a year that brought new life to the GN sport spotlight. The basketball team won its league championship. Coach Ed Boell, a com- parative newcomer to Great Neck, was named Long Island Coach of the Year” after he had guided the Orange and Blue football team to a 7-1 season. John Amzler was named All-Long Island end. Directing the squad from the quarterback slot was Tommy Casey, who later was to rise to Louisville, the last jump before the major leagues, in baseball. The inception of soccer came in 1947. Great Neck played well. Al- though it was the Blazers’ first year in the sport, the Great Neck squad, under the direction of Mr. Chamberlain, won four of ten games played. However, in 1948, a year in which not a prominent aggregation was produced except the soccer team, the Blazer hooters kicked their way to the County crown. 1950 saw Great Neck explode with a bang. Starting in the spring, Coach Ernie Clarke’s track team swept eight of ten meets, won the Port Invitation, the North Shore meet ana placed second in the county affair. The tennis team beat Manhasset in a post-season play-off to gain the league title. Joe Fluet, whose 18 goals set a county record, led the soccer team, as it overcame Sewanhaka in the final game of the year to become county kings. Fluet, along with Irwin Zim, Fred Rappaport, and Bob Degen, was named to the soccer dream team.” In a tremendous upset, the Blazer football team, which had won but one game previ- ously, overturned a Port Washington team that had been rated among the county’s best. Great Neck had a banner year in 1951-52. The track team won all twelve of its meets. Losing only one meet, the cross country squad was represented at the state meet by Merle Logan, who finished an excellent eighth. Both the bowling and the tennis teams were undefeated as they trampled opposition in the race to their respective crowns. The basket- ball team, too, was a division title-holder. But it was the football team of that year that will be long remem- bered. Artie Weichbrodt ran and passed opposing teams into the ground, as the Blazers subdued eight rivals without a loss. Captain Mike Podell, singing out his famed war cry Video!”, and Charlie Wolfe led the line. These three were named to the Nassau All-Scholastic team. Coach Mike Totura was named one of the two Nassau coaches of the year.” Athletically, 1952-53 was a fair year. The basketball aggregation fin- ished third in its division, while the cross country squad split six meets. The bowling team finished second in its loop. However, the track and tennis teams were champions. Throughout the twenty-five years that Great Neck has been par- ticipating in inter-scholastic sports, the Blazer tradition has been toward winning teams. But even in tne years when Great Neck athletes did not fare so well, there was never a team that did not do its best to finish on top. Judging from the outward appearance alone, it might seem that the only change in the girls’ physical education department in twenty-five years was the switch from the bloomer-type uniform to the more modern outfit of navy blue shorts and white sport blouses. But of course this casual observation does not give a complete picture, for since 1932, the department has been molding a well-rounded program which now in- cludes more than a dozen team and individual sports, two cheerleading squads, two forms of the dance, and a governing body. Formed in 1932 under the sponsorship of Miss Catherine Dreher and Mrs. Marion Reading, the Girls’ Athletic Association has served since that year as a foundation for the extra-curricular program. According to its constitution, the purpose of the G. A. A. is to organize after school activities in physical education, and to present a varied program to all girls in grades ten through twelve.” It also controls the point system which acts as an incentive for girls participating in athletics. With a Council made up of elected Heads of sports, membership in the G. A. A. is open to all Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls who have attendance credit in the required number of activities. Leaders’ Corps, the other governing body in the department, was born in 1947. One of the organizations represented on the G. A. A. Council, Leaders’ Corps, is still in the process of improving its operating code. The number of sports open to girls increased steadily through the years. With the formation of the G. A. A. in 1932, archery and softball were added to the program which already included field hockey, basket- ball, and tennis. Servus ball, played by nine players using a big ball, was incorporated a few years later; and the ever-popular sport of volley- ball followed. Badminton competition was begun in 1937, but the big excitement of the year was the formation of a swimming club. Miss Perry was in charge of this group, which used the Adelphi College pool. 1938 saw the organization of fencing, ice skating, and a modern dance club. (Incidentally Great Neck is one of the only schools on Long Island which has modern dance organized to the extent of holding a recital every year.) Horseback riding and hiking clubs were the chief additions in 1939; and by the end of the decade, tumbling and soccer had become part of the physical education program. In 1941 many activities were suspended because of World War II. In spite of this and the decline in participation, a Managers’ club, cheer- leading, and speedball (combining soccer and basketball) were estab- lished during the war years. A square dancing club was organized for boys and girls, under the direction of Miss Barbara Amott. By 1947 activities in the Physical Education Department were back at the pre-war peak. Bowling and tap dancing were added in 1948. Cheerleading has been another important phase of the physical edu- cation program which has undergone many changes during its more than twenty-five years in Great Neck. The first varsity squad in recent records was organized by Mr. Edgar of our Social Studies Department, in 1940. It was composed of eight girls and two boys. It was increased to fifteen cheerleaders by 1943; and in 1944 for the first time, just ten girls made up the squaa. This ail-girl arrangement was thought to be permanent. But a letter-war on the Guide Post this year resulted in the addition of four boys to the squad, as it was four years ago. A junior varsity squad was organized in 1948, and a freshman squad in 1949- For many years Sports Nights were popular events. Inaugurated in the early 1930’s, it usually featured a color war in which the Oranges and the Blues competed in formal entrances, athletics, art, and song and cheer contests. The highlight of these evenings was always the presenta- tion of a blazer to the girl who had displayed outstanding leadership and service, as well as athletic ability, during her years in Senior hign school. When these Sport Nights were discontinued after the war, a spring event called the Sports Day was introduced. On a Saturday, Great Neck girls met with students from other Long Island schools to compete in softball, track events, obstacle races, tennis, archery, and badminton. Social activities have also been part of the physical education program in Great Neck. Soon after its creation, the G. A. A. began to give parties for girls who had taken part in after school athletics. Later, luncheons were planned for Saturday afternoons after morning athletic events. Honors and awards were given in the spring to the players who had earned them. Today in 1954, the extra-curricular program for girls in athletics in- cludes archery, badminton, basketball, bowling, cheerleading, the G. A. A. Council, golf, hockey, ice skating, Leaders’ Corps, modern dance, softball, tap dance, tennis, tumbling, and volleyball. Because of changing interests and lack of facilities, fencing, hiking, horseback riding, servus ball, speedball, and swimming have been dropped. This attests to the policy of flexibility that the members of the Physical Education Department have always applied to the extra-cur- ricular program, as well as the curricular set-up. The girls’ sports program has kept pace with the growing population and the students’ broadening interests. Despite the fact that the locker room is usually too hot or too cold, our experiences have been enjoyable, as well as educational! Throughout many of these years, Mrs. Marian Reading and Miss Catherine Dreher were the mainstays of this department. Miss Dreher has now retired because of ill health. Mrs. Reading has transferred her energies to Health classes. The foundations laid by them have been admirably carried on by Miss Lois Staat, of Modern Dance renown, Miss Doris Botsch, Miss Patricia Kuhl, and Miss Barbara Amott, now in the Junior High. P F'R the third straight year Great Neck's TRACK SQUAD maintained an unblemished record during the regular season competition. This was indeed a highly triumphant year, as the Blazer cindermen successfully defended their North Shore Track and Field Championship. Despite tremendous numerical strength in nearly all of the track events, the Orange and Blue were able to compile their unbeaten rec- ords primarily because of certain outstanding performers. Chuck Kurland's skill was virtually unapproachable when it came to throwing the discus. He was the N. S. A. L. champ and lost his only match in the Nassau Track and Field finals, where he finished second. Equally bril- liant was hurdler Willie Paradisin, who broke the scholastic record for the 1 80 yard low hur- dles. In addition he finished second in the Nassau finals. The county meet was in itself a disappointing one to the Blazer squad. Great Neck had won the North Shore meet by such a decisive margin Val Giroux, Great Neck's star pole vaulter, is having a high time as he clears the bar with much room to spare. that ten of their members were eligible to com- pete for the Nassau Championship! Yet Coach Ernie Clarke's defending champs could only amass two second place medals, two third place medals and two fifth place finishes. The failures of star half-miler Dave Nash and pole-vaulter Val Giroux, both of whom had been ill, to gain even a point were bitter blows to the hopes of the Orange and Blue, which finally finished fifth.

J4it -And JfZm DROPPING their last game with Manhasset, the Great Neck BASEBALL squad finished in second place in the Western Division of the North Shore Baseball League. A heartbreaking defeat by the Indians, who finished no better than fourth in the six team loop, proved to be the deciding mark in the race; for on that same day, Mineola won its game to back into the championship. All things considered, the Orange and Blue had an excellent season. They led the league almost throughout, only to be dislodged on the final day of the season. The 1953 edition of the Blazers was one of the best in recent years, for, within five years no Great Neck diamond outfit has finished its competition in second place, let alone only a single game behind the league leaders. The Blazers utilized what was probably the best pitching staff on Long Island. Dan Geoly, who saw the most action of the Orange and Blue hurlers, led the way with a 4-1 record. Kenny Benjamin, following up on the fine relief record he compiled in 1952, finished the season with a score sheet that read 2-1. Bob Collier, the only Sophomore on the aggregation, also had a 2-1 record. However, the best pitcher on the team, by way of percentage, was Gerry Baum. Baum's average amounted to 1.000, but, as a relief hurler, his name entered the score book only once. Great Neck had its share of good hitters, too. Richie Appuzo, the slick fielding second baseman, led the team in batting with an aver- age of .362. His timely slugging often pulled the team through a rough spot. For his excel- lent play, Appuzo was named to the All-Scholas- tic baseball “dream team. Directly behind the stocky second sacker in the hitting department were Dick Wolf and Steve Schuck, both of whom banged out a fine .333 average. Though neither was a regular on the team, each was a depend- able pinch-hitter. A fourth member of the Blazer crew to bat above the magic .300 marker was 106 Hugh Musof. The husky third-sacker was the slugger who could, and very often did, bat in the important run. Great Neck’s fielding left little to be desired. Musof led the team in this department, making only two errors in the team’s fifteen games. Ap- puzzo, along with Alvin Stern, formed a for- midable “keystone combination, as they were among the leaders in double-plays in the North Shore loop. Ronnie Grossman and Dick Vuolo, who alternated at first base, also were excel- lent fielders. The Blazers' outfield was outstand- ing in this department with Paul London and Jack Cohen as stars.

ALTHOUGH the entry of Great Neck’s FOOT- BALL squad into Triple A contention was not an auspicious one, it resulted in a satisfac- tory season. The Blazers finished with a 4-4 rec- ord, two of these defeats coming by the margin of one point, both 7-6. In both these losing efforts the Orange and Blue clearly demonstrated their superiority, yet a winning formula could not be devised. The final record would have been outstanding if these two games had been won and certainly would have been better were the games tied. Throughout the season an unusually high num- ber of injuries plagued the Orange and Blue footballers, and, as a result, even the most ar- dent Blazer fan could not venture a guess as to what the starting lineup would be on the fol- lowing Saturday. Only quarterback Dick Wolf, guard and Captain Dick Byrne, and ends John Schneider and Val Giroux were sure of being in the game for the opening kickoff.

His slick ball handling, coupled with his brilliant defensive play, earned him an honorable mention on the All-Long Island team. The Orange and Blue gridders opened the season with a 13-0 victory over Oceanside. Hempstead was next on the agenda for Coach Mike Torture's charges. This game was the first of four in official Triple A competition in which the locals split four games. In the Hempstead 108 Vm Captain, R. Byrne game, the Great Neck team scored first, but despite this advantage, allowed the hard fight- ing Tigers to come back and tie the score. Then in the fourth quarter, the Blazers bowed to the Tigers’ better endurance, and Hempstead scored twice to win 19-6. On the ensuing Saturday, the Orange and Blue met with one of the worst defeats ever suf- fered by a Great Neck club. Mineola shut out the locals by the lopsided score of 37-0 and thus became the first team to do so in the past three seasons. A week later. Great Neck began its campaign to rebuild by defeating a weak South Side eleven 13-0. Frank Kramer's runs and Wolf's passes were the features of the Great Neck attack in this game. Sensational blocking high- lighted the affair as the Blazers mounted up a tremendous statistical advantage over the hap- less South Siders. The peak of the Blazer season came in the game with Garden City. Great Neck, losing 6-0 and playing the role of the underdog, charged back from its deficit to tie the score 6-6 late in the fourth period. Wing-back Roger Sigoda then counted on a naked reverse for the deciding point, and thereby allowed Great Neck to nip Garden City by a 7-6 margin. This game had plenty of excitement: rough play, a Frank Mer- riwell finish, and even a rhubarb between the losing Garden City coach and the referee. The following week, Great Neck met their greatest rival. Port Washington. It was the Quarterback, D. Wolf Left End, J. Schneider Left Tackle, J. Wadley 109 twenty-fifth time these two schools have met, and competition was as keen as ever. The Orange and Blue struck first as a second period pass play clicked for a touchdown, but the fail- ure to kick the extra point (a fairly common failure for Great Neck this year) plus the fact that a previous scoring play had been called back owing to a disputed off-side penalty, was to deny them victory, or at least a tie. For the second year in a row. Great Neck’s laxity in the second half had cost them the sweet pleas- ure of victory over their traditional rivals, Port Washington. A Glen Cove team that just would not soy die until the final whistle was blown jarred the hopes of Blazer followers for a 5-3 campaign record. Behind and outplayed throughout the game, the spirited Glen Cove squad scored on a 56 yard play with less than two minutes left to play and beat the Blazers 7-6. Here again, the failure to get that all-important extra point cost the Orange and Blue dearly. The Blazers finished out their season by beat- ing Valley Stream 12-7. Dick Wolf, who threw for both scores, starred for Great Neck as he completed eight of eleven pass attempts for a total of over 150 yards through the air. Great Neck Blazers are jubilant after a triumph at Garden City.

Playing against teams that featured mostly Juniors, the Orange and Blue, with a predominately Sophomore out- fit, won only two of eight games. Featured in the Blazers’ attack were Larry Poons and Mitch Davis, both hard-driving backs. An unseasoned Great Neck JAYVEE SOCCER out the season, and Tom Reichman led the ag- gregation. For the second year in succession the SOCCER team was dogged by bad luck. Two games which the Blazer booters should have won, if not at least tied, proved to be their downfall. The season opened as Great Neck upset the highly favored Sea Cliff squad, winning 2-1. Two goals by Ray Miklas plus a spectacular de- team, with only two players who had engaged in any inter-scholastic soccer at all, won only two games this year.

Great Neck then met Glen Cove at home for a return match and swamped the visitors 5-0. October 23 saw a tense Blazer squad hop into a bus bound for Sea Cliff, where the two league leaders would come together in a game that would undoubtedly determine the champion- ship. Here when Blazer hopes were so high, Great Neck was crushed 3-1. A collapsible de- fense, not unlike those used by basketball teams, was used by the victors, who, whenever Miklas, who was to lead the loop in scoring with 17 goals, got the ball, encircled him, thus prevent- ing him from getting a clear shot at the goal. At the same time, the winner unleashed a furious attack and opened up a big lead before the tense losers could score. The two games with Manhasset and Westbury were but an anti-climax. Sea Cliff, following their win over Great Neck, could not be headed and breezed to the championship.

In one of the finest seasons, the Blazer netmen dropped only one match in the entire season, that being to Garden City by a scant 3-2 score. Playing on the Blazer team, under the tute- lage of Coach Frederick Thiergard, were Steve Doniger, George Pinsley, and Mike Phillips at singles, and Bob Rothman, Jan Van Amerongen, Barry Bell, and Al Yu as the doubles men. The highlight of the season was the play-off match with Garden City at Hempstead Lake Park. The match was necessitated by the fact that the Blazers and the Trojans had beaten each other once and finished in a deadlock for first place.

At the Long Island Sectional meet, an early winter storm chilled the bodies of the harriers, but the Blazers still managed to place all ten of its team members among the first forty-five finishers as it took sixth place in a race among the schools on Long Island. A school rule, dealing with scholastic eli- gibility and athletics, discovered after the sea- son's full schedule had been completed, cost the Great Neck BOWLING squad the North Shore Athletic League championship. The Blazer bowlers had gone through the sea- son and compiled a record of thirty-nine wins and six losses and, in the minds of all involved, had triumphed in league competition before the ruling was announced. The squad, made up of Tom Weitemeyer, Carl Schlanger, Hank Nitz, Robin Dietz, and Phil Settel, Ken Spiewack, or Mike Kane, was undoubtedly the outstanding team in the loop.

You asked yourself: “Why do I persist in coming to these games, particularly this game? Tonight the team is playing Mineola, only the school that is leading the league; our team up to this final game hasn’t won a single match. Yet we did have some tough breaks. Those two games early in the year with Bayside and Man- hasset—oh, those overtime periods.

Those two games really knocked the team’s heart right out. “And then,” you continued to yourself, “there was all that misfortune that befell us. Jimmy Steelman played through the year with a bad back; Lionel Bellandi was forced to leave the team; both Dan Geoly and Dick Vuolo, both high scorers, had games when they couldn’t have scored if they were ten feet tall. And these were not the only misfortunes we suffered.” Then midway in the second period, you awoke. “Could this be true? Is this the same Blazer squad that has lost thirteen previous matches?? You were stunned. Here we are, outplaying the league-leaders. It seemed like a dream to those faithful Blazer rooters who had come to witness the last Great Neck game of the year. Exalted fans buzzed: Was this to be THE game? In the last quarter the bubble broke. A series of disputed fouls called against the Blazers, a few missed shots and Mineola was in the lead. Despite the valiant efforts of the Orange and Blue, the Maroon could not be overtaken. Don Geoly Thus the season ended. True enough, it was not a good year. It was not even a fairly good season. It was, simply, a season in which nothing went right. There is no one to whom blame can be attrib- uted. Coach Irv Milenko gave his all; each game he had the team try something new. Perhaps tonight that new defense will win was the thought of many Blazer fans the day of a game. The players certainly tried all the way. Even when behind by thirty points, the squad hustled as if the opposition were just within reach. Coptoin Peyton MacDonald Dick Vuolo 116 J. V.

Previous to this year, Great Neck had utilized Juniors and Sophomores on its jay- vee eager squads. However, in an attempt to bolster the fortunes of varsity hoop aggrega- tions, the Blazer coaches decided to have only Sophomore athletes on the team. When this innovation in policy was made, it was realized that jayvee wins were to be sac- rificed for better varsity teams. Nevertheless, although there was the expected drop in the number of jayvee wins, their record was not to be belittled. Under the leadership of Coach Dutch Hess, the junior blazers fought to an 8-6 season. Throughout the season, two boys were con- sistently the outstanding players on the team. Bob Stern and Artie Munda constantly sparked the team to its wins and paced it in its defeats. Both were high scorers. Stern, who averaged 12.5 points, employed a deadly one-hand shot for most of his markers, while Munda, whose average was 11.3, scored the greater part of his points on driving lay-ups or on his fine jump shot. With his best foot forward, Al Stern, Blazer play- maker, leaves Carden City trailing. Looking skyward, Dan Geoly has his eye on the basket, although it is nowhere in sight.

Pledging to uphold the standards set by the Leaders' Corps, to endeavor to set an example in appearance and conduct, and to maintain sound mental and physical health, the Leaders' Corps functions with the aim of assisting in all phases of the girls' physical education program. The thirty leaders are selected on the results of a careful screening process which insures that every candidate has a B average in scholastic work, a two-thirds popularity vote in her gym class, and faculty approval. Final decisions on admission are made by the old leaders, who judge the candidates on the basis of appear- ance, leadership, and ability. Leaders undertake certain responsibilities as captains of class teams, and squad leaders. A girl who has been admitted to the Corps is a permanent member throughout high school, unless, of course, she is disqualified for poor conduct or scholastic failure. New candidates are then considered to fill these vacancies. As President for the 1953-54 school year, Mary Anne Stetson was assisted by Vice-Presi- dent Kay Brinkley and Secretary-Treasurer Mar- garet Morris.

In this late October event at Greenvale, the Great Neck Honor Team won two games, tied two, and lost only one, to climax a successful season during which more than seventy girls participated in interscholastic competition. In the fall Great Neck hockey teams battled on five different fronts, as the honor and reserve teams played Mepham, Port Washington, and Friends’ Academy; and the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior class teams tangled with Mineola, Manhasset, and Port Washington. The Blasettes were winners in a majority of all games played. Archery flourished in Great Neck in both the fall and the spring this year, under Phyllis Getz's leadership. The volleyball season found the girls' gym classes primping up before games. Why the sudden fastidiousness? Co-ed volleyball games of course. The girls' class teams later battled at a Sports Night and the Sophomores emerged victorious. 120 GIRLS' ARCHERY: First row, loft to right— M. Medwin, J. Scol, H. Mammon, C. Superior, P. Getz, M.

Hiers, J. Ballard. As usual the Great Neck girls' basketball teams played heavy schedules. This winter Se- wanhaka, West Hempstead, Valley Stream, St. Mary's, Friends Academy, Manhasset, and Gar- den City were included. Organized in much the same way as extra-curricular hockey and vol- leyball, class basketball teams, as well as honor and reserve teams, competed in inferscholastic competition. Maureen Power and Vivian Sulla directed activities. Over one hundred girls, including heads Fran- ces Comesky and Meg Streitfield, took part in bowling at Jay's. While the Beginners were practicing to become Advanced, members of the Advanced group bowled interscholastically. The Twirlers along with the Band this year dis- played some new and popular routines. In early fall the Twirlers organized under the leadership of Shelly Waze. They performed at all the home football games, and marched in the Memorial Day Parade. Under Martha Miller’s leadership, intermedi- ate and advanced tap dancers met this year to concentrate on modern jazz rhythm, which they presented in the Modern Dance Recital in April. Featuring work on individual stunts, acrobat- ics, and apparatus, the tumbling group was headed by Martha Proffitt. Archery flourished in Great Neck in both the fall and the spring this year, under Phyllis Getz's leadership. During the winter season a group of ice skat- ing enthusiasts led by Sue Adams skated weekly HONOR BASKETBALL TEAM: Starting at top, clockwiso—M. Morris, M. Harriflf, I. Barnes, Miss Botsch, Sponsor; A. Darnell, I. Lifshey, B. Urban, K. Epstein, B. Flint, A. Buhler, R. Cohn. at the Great Neck Ice Rink. With Rena Lifshey as student head, softball was again the major spring sport. Although golf is a comparatively new extra- curricular sport in Great Neck, it attracted an interested group of girls. Since most of these were beginners, playing was limited to indoor practice with plastic balls, and driving at a driv- ing range. Barbara Flint was student director. GIRLS' BOWLING: left to right — M.
