Backstage capers gave way to upstage ad libbing, increasing the good mood of the audience as well as the actors. Hailed as one of Lynbrook's best, Nothing But the Truthu set itself down with laurels in Lynbrook annals. LIGHT SOPHISTICATED comedy, Nothing But the Truth, was the choice of the thespians of the Class of ,42. Is it possible to tell the absolute truth-even for twenty-four hours? It is-at least Erwin Jung accomplished the feat. The bet he made, using his Hanc6e,s money, was with his partners, James Ned Sparks Hogeboomg Donald Brown Eyes Daltong his friend, Warren Suave Stumpe, who was beautifully camouflaged by a black mustache. His fiancee was played by Carolyn Throop. This was the background for the great hit performed before a record breaking audience of over 7oo on November 9, 1941, under the enduring and patient direction of Miss Eudora Lampman. 26

VOLLEY BALL OLLEY BALL can well be called one of our most popular team sports. Development of playing tech- nique gives the game more spirit because it becomes far more interesting and exciting. Ably directed, as always, by Miss Norwat, the ac- complishments of the four class Volley Ball teams were heartwarming, for Lynbrook lost only two games in the Baldwin, East Rockaway, and Ocean- side series. With our traditional rival, East Rockaway, the Green and Gold won four straight victories. Upon finishing the inter-class games, the Seniors and Juniors tied for the honors. From these games an honor team was chosen composed of the follow- ing: Marilyn Poth, Joan Rosenhaus, Evelyn Spinnler, Jean Fowler, Betty Lynch, Arlene Kraatz, Betty Vincent, Jenny Spina, Carol Cooper, Ann Sarro, Eileen Risedorf, Elise Thompson. An outstanding player with her own distinctive style was Evelyn Spinnler, who had a technique of hitting the ball with a closed fist, which proved as effective as it was baffling. Betty Lynch stood out as an all-around star for her dependability and sureness in spiking the ball with apparent ease. Madeline Mastroianni should be mentioned as one of the most promising freshmen of the year. In December, the Long Island Girls' Association held a play day for honor teams at Mepham. In this play day Lynbrook tied for first place with Mepham. Five girls passed the Written volley ball oHicial's test and their practical test. They were: Doris Wid- maier, Yvonne Behne, Jeanne Johnson, Dianna Ros- enhaus and Joan Rosenhaus. The first four refereed at the Long Island Girls' Association play day at Mepham.
