SMITH, Editor-in-Chief ROBERT DUWLINU, Business Manager CONTENTS FOREWORD AND DEDICATION BOARD OF EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY AUXILIARY ORGANIZATION SENIOR CLASS JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS OREWORD THE 1937 TOTEM is a decided departure from the rather staid and formal yearhooks of the past. From the first page to the last and the first pictures to the advertisements you will notice the informality of the contents. The pictures are informal and candid and the literary material, too, carries out the ideal of naturalness. As usual the pur- pose of the hook is to present an interesting and informative picture of the student life in Sewanhaka. When time has dimmed your memory, this TOTEM will recapture memories of those joyous years in school. lil DURING the seven years of Sewanhaka's existence, Mrs. Utter has worked as El member of the Health Council and the Visual Educa- tion Committee. Since its formation she has also served as adviser to the Girls' Hi-Y, Alpha Chapter, and was last year appointed assistant adviser to the Junior Class. Because we recognize in Mrs. Utter the qualities of informality and friendliness which symbolize the makeup of the 1937 Totem, we wish to express our appreciation by dedicating this Totem to her.

SCHAEFER District 17 PERHAPS the best way to express the aims and purposes of the Board of Education would be to quote a part of the message of welcome which the President of that group of men published in the Chieftain last Octo- ber. ' '5Those who are entrusted with the guardianship of Sewanhaka's activities-curricular and other- are ever eager to be most helpful and cooperative in the effort of every student ato make good' in every way. The resources of Sewanhaka-its physical and educational equipment -are constantly increased and im- proved to meet adequately the ever- growing needs of its splendid student body. The task of maintaining the good name and fame of the school rests largely upon the proper use to which these resources are put. That last sentence expresses the desire of this group. In fact it is the sole reward they get for their labors, namely that students take advantage of the opportunities offered them and in that way show their appreciation of what has been done for them. The Board of Education is com- posed of two members from each of the four school districts of Sewan- haka Central High School. With many years experience as school trustees, these men are well ac- quainted with and understand, sec- ondary education and its problems. Dr. Joshua Bloch of New Hyde Park, was President for this year. He was ably supported by Vice-Presi- dent Edward Thomas of Bellerose. William W. Van Zandt, New Hyde Parkg Dr. George E. Davis, Belle- roseg William L. McQueen, Stewart Manorg Eric R. Anderson, Elmontg Walter A. Elson, Franklin Square, and Frederick VV. Schaefer, of Franklin Square were the remaining members of the board. J. Edwin Russell of New Hyde Park, was District Clerkg Marcus G.

THOMAS Dlstrwt 17 Dzstrict 16 Attorney District 5 Vivce-President District 22 AD TRATIO DR. ALVA T. STANFORTH Principal N excellent explanation of the new vocational courses now offered in Se- wanhaka may be found in Dr. A. T. Stanforth's introduction to a recent issue of the Teachers' Bulletin: MWith the introduction of vocational sub- jects, the Sewanhaka High School curriculum becomes comprehensive in its scope and nature. Vocational courses afford opportunities for exploration as well as specific preparation for occupations in a work-a-day world. ln addition, courses have definite educational value and appeal to certain types of students who are not interested in academic subjects .... Trades courses, in my opin- ion, should be definitely connected with cooperative part time employment, if this is possible. There are two courses in electricity being offered at this timeg they are Tech- nical Electricity and General Electricity. The former is a terminal course, in- tended to prepare boys for employment and advancement within the electrical industry fitting them to become technicians and junior engineers. The course covers the study of magnetism, direct and alternating current theory, and lab- oratory work. The latter is a shop course designed to provide the pupil with an understanding of the electrical industry. This course teaches the uses of elec- AN tricity and service and repairs of a simple nature. X Students in the Vocational Arts Mechanics course meet three periods a day and have an intensive study of the automobile in regard to its elec- trical system, the metals used, and the part that mathematics and chemistry play in its construction. The Industrial Arts Auto Mechanics offers an exploratory course relative to the construction and general re- pairs of the automobile. The purpose of the Industrial Arts Aviation course is to give Sewanhaka students a general knowledge of the aircraft world. The accomplishments of men and women connected with the industry have been studied. The uses of aircraft are analyzed, model planes are built, and experiments with a small wind tunnel are carried out. The final achievement is the construction of a small airplane. The Crafts course offered this year is the first industrial arts study to be open only to girls, the aim being to provide an opportunity to make attractive articles of leather, metal, and plastics and to develop an appreciation for hand made articles. General Metal is an exploratory course designed to give the pupil thorough shopwork, outside assign- ments, and related work in a series of experiences in metal work. Vocational Agricultural Science as taught in Sewanhaka High School aims to prepare students to enter the allied occupations and vocations of agriculture. FAC LTY HAROLD WRIGHT Assistant Principal CHARLES COOPER Dean of Boys OLIVE BUCKS Dean of Girls LAN CU AGE OFFICE STAFF COMMERCE MATHEMATICS THE SEWANHAKA FACULTY pictured above, are grouped for the most part according to depart- ments. For this reason it seems advisable to state briefly some facts pertinent to each department. The Music Department has had continued growth both in numbers and popularity. More and greater interest in the foreign language classes has been in evidence since the department began stressing the cultural and ap- preciative features of the language studied. INDUSTRIAL ARTS HEALTH The Physical Education program has been en- larged to include Hygiene courses for Freshmen and Seniors. The Art Department has placed emphasis on Art Appreciation as an elective subject, with the result that the student now participates in both the creative and appreciative phase of the sub- ject. The Library Department has done more than ever before to help students appreciate good books. Classes were given training in library usage, and a great many new worthwhile volumes have been accumulated. Each year the Science Department is making rapid strides in adapting its subjects to a more practical application of scientific truths. SOCIAL SCIENCE ENGLISH With the added equipment of the Commercial Department a student may now prepare himself for practically all the business opportunities which present themselves today. In the English Department, elective courses in Journalism, Dramatics, Public Speaking and Creative Writing offer opportunities for self- expression. The Social Science Department has also added subjects and revised others. Story of Nations treats history as a world panorama. Economic Citizenship provides definite training for good citizenship. The greatest advancement this past year, how- ever, has been made in the field of Industrial MUSIC, ART, LIBRARY HOME ECONOMICS Arts and Vocational subjects. These include courses in Agriculture, Aviation, Electricity, Automobile, Printing, Metal Arts and Crafts, Woodworking and additional subjects in Home Economics. Though the Office Staff appears last that does not signify least importance. This year the new position of attendance officer was created with Mr. Oscar Brion fulfilling the task of maintain- ing good attendance. SCIENCE DADS' CLUB SINCE its organization several years ago, the Sewan- haka Dads' Club has had the distinction of lead- ing in a movement to secure and hold the interest of the men of the community in school affairs in an entirely new way. The club has a three-fold purpose: to see that every man in the community gets to know Sewanhakag to foster and develop every worthwhile suggestion for the advancement of the academic, athletic and moral standards of the school, and to acquaint every man in the Two 35100 scholarships are awarded each year by the club. Meeting on the third Monday of each month, the members are entertained by well known athletic, dramatic and musical presentations given by students. school district with his neighbor.

Treasurer Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary UXILIARY PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION which studies home, school, and community problems relative to adolescence is an organization composed of parents, teachers, and other interested adults. The association is an aid in correlating the work of school and home by providing a medium of con- tact between the parents and the teachers. It brings to the teacher the sympathetic viewpoint of the home and gives to the parents a better appreciation of the work being done by the school. The organization'S activities will be better under- stood by a study of its objectives: to promote child welfare in home, school, church, and communityg to raise the standards of home life and to secure adequate laws for the protection of children. MR. OWEN DAVIS . . . . President MRS. DANIEL NICHOLSON, Second Vice-President MRS. W. F. SMITH . . . Treasurer MRS. W. A. STEWART . Corresponding Secretary MRS. LEVENSALER Recording Secretary ORGANIZATIO MUSIC APPRECIATION COMMITTEE IT had been felt for some time that the musical departments of the schools of the district should be coordinated and that a council of citizens could best accomplish this aim. Accordingly a group of interested persons of the towns in the school dis- tricts was organized last year. Their first accom- plishment toward this goal was the Variety Show which financed the trip of the Band to Cleveland. Their second achievement was the Variety Show this year, which yielded sufficient funds to buy instruments for the grammar schools. The Music Appreciation Committee this year includes the fol- lowing persons: Harry F. Miller Jr., Floral Parkg Gerald Carson, Floral Park, Frank R. Johnson, Floral Parkg John D. Clark, Floral Park, J. Jerome Jackson, Floral Park, August Burns, Floral Parkg A. J. Rein, Franklin Squareg George Lotz, Frank- lin Squareg J. H. Thoerle, Floral Parkg Walter Hogg, New Hyde Parkg James Healy, Elmont, and John Harsch, Elmont. TRADE ADVISORY COMMITTEES WHEN several vocational courses were added to Sewanhaka's curriculum, the Board of Education elected a number of prominent men from the several communities to form vocational advisory committees. Such committees are required by the State Department of Education to provide a close contact between industry and the school. Joseph Guiney is the chairman of tl1e Printing Committee, which also includes Joseph Delamano, Arthur Culley, John Kollock, Walter Palmer, Robert Wessmann, and John Brennan. The Agricultural Committee includes Charles Donaghue, chairrnang Jacob Hofmann, Herman Utz, and Frederick Schumacker. William Gartrell was appointed chairman of the Auto Mechanics Committee. Other members are Philip Miller, S. P. McMinn, Albert Stadler, Wil- liam Tilden, and John Tooker. Members of the Electricity Committee are Em- mett Shute, chairmang Wilbur Mattison, Charles Quell, and Burdette Swezey. JANE POWERS Secretary ROSE LUTHE Treasurer HENRY Pmo President Miss REED Adviser MR. EKLUND Adviser JOHN BELLAMENTE Vice-President IORS N the opposite page you will Hnd a brief history of the present Senior Class. This year, presenting another de- parture in the makeup of the Totem, it was decided that a little more than a mere listing of names was deserved by the officers of the class Henry Piro, the president of the class of 1937, throughout his high school career has shown outstanding qualities of leadership. Quiet, well-mannered, and dependable it is easy to understand why the members of his class chose him for their highest office. His record as a varsity athlete was excel- lent. Smiling, good-natured John Bellamente had an unusual record of activity in school affairs. John is an unassuming but capable manager of things and functions. Probably his best single piece of work was done as Editor of the 1936 Totem. Both Jane Powers and Rose Luthe were among tl1e highest ranking secretarial students of the Commercial Department. ,lane and Rose have been active in various school affairs and proved themselves to be excellent teachers on students' day. V RANKLY, the writing of a class history is a difficult bit of work when one tries to cover a period of four years in a limited number of lines. We hope the Seniors will regard our efforts with tolerance if we do not present all the details which they might like to see on this page. The Senior Class gave an early indication of the excellent quality of its mem- bership. During the first year a large number proved their scholastic accomplish- ments by becoming honor students at the same time a number of promising athletes were discovered. Harry Hanson,Martin Evensen, Evelyn Humphrey, and Jean Trainer were elected president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer re- spectively. The only two events of any importance socially were the Hallowe'en dance and the organization of a Freshman Band. The election the following year proved to be more or less of an upset, Martin Evensen and Evelyn Humphrey being the only ones re-elected. Henry Piro became president and Kenneth Colyer. treasurer. Again the social season yielded meager picking, with only one outstanding event, a gala Valentine dance. Of course, as the class moved along its appointed course, some of its members became outstanding Sewanha- kans, but they did not have the proper opportunity to show their talent until last year as juniors. This time the only change in officers was Ruth Moore, who became treasurer. And now we may wax eloquent for the Juniors really did themselves proud when they presented their Hrst formal affair, the Junior Prom on May 8th of last year. A new idea in decoration was introduced when the gym- nasium was turned into a temporary night club. This dance proved to be one of the best ever held at Sewanhaka. Of course, not to forget the athletes it must be mentioned that the Juniors practically monopolized the field in 1936. On the gridiron especially, they contributed many outstanding stars. Or who can, for that matter, forget the exciting election when Adolph Wichman became President of the Student Council. And now to the last chapter which began September, 1936. Henry Piro again was voted presidentg John Bellamente became vice-president, Jane Powers, sec- retary, Rose Luthe, treasurer. This year another change was made when six instead of two Student Council representatives were elected: Evelyn Ahlhaus, Gladys Hennig, Robert Hapeley, Charles Sullivan, Andrew Wulforst, and Ed- ward Pfeffer. December 23, the class began its social season by holding a Christ- mas Dance. Then followed in rapid succession several affairs. Early in April a tea was given for the mothers of all the Seniors, and on the 29th, a get ac- quainted social for the fathers. In between came tl1e play, '4Big Hearted Herbertf with George 0'Leary, Jane Powers, and Charles Sullivan as princi- pals. And the climax of tl1e season will be the commencement exercises which are in charge of the Guidance Department. The theme of the program will be the history of the development of Guidance in its application to the problems of the adolescent. L'Time and tide wait for no man, which means that with the final Regents examinations for the graduating class, the Senior Ball, and the commencement exercises almost upon us, the weeks seem rather short. Perhaps it is the realiza- tion that school days are drawing to a close, or perhaps it is the fine weather of the last weeks of school that is the cause of it, but at any rate the Seniors are all activity. In parting may we say to the schoolmates leaving us, '4Goodbye and good luck. 17 ADAMS, CHRISTIAN Accounting Club 35, 363 Office Practice Club 36, 37. ANDERSON, WALTER Hall Squad 36.

The group immediately elected their Freshman officers who were: Donald Brown, Presidentg Ralph Martini, Vice-Presidentg Francis Doherty, Secretaryg Virginia Headly, Treasurer. Being interested in sports, the fresh- men had a great turnout. Music students or- ganized the Freshman Band and voice students participated in the Glee Club concert. One of the featured events on the Freshman social calendar was the Valentine Party. In the fall of 1935, the Sophomore Class be- gan the process of reorganization by electing Miz. Wuman Adviser RALPH lVTARTINI President Ralph Martini, Presidentg Fred Mangold, Vice- Presidentg Francis Doherty, Secretary, and Dorothy Cronin, Treasurer. Their first social event of importance was a Valentine Dance which was extremely successful from every point of viewg several other tea dances and parties were also held. The boys' and girls' intramural sports records were quite similar in regard to the large number of victories gained. Probably the most lasting and worthwhile contribution of the class to the school was the information collected rela- tive to approximately thirty vocations. These facts were compiled, mimeographed, and placed in the Library. DONALD BROWVN MRS. If TTER Adviser Dor CRONIN Secretary The Junior Class had an election in 1936, and it was thereby decided that the officers would be Ralph Martini, Presidentg Fred Mangold, Vice- Presidentg Dorothy Cronin, Secretaryg Donald Brown, Treasurer. The Student Council Repre- sentatives were: Betty Scott, Peter Bayes, Leon- ard Bush, and Lawson Bowers. It is in their Junior year that Sewanhakans may purchase their class jewelry and over one hundred and fifty did so with Fred Mangold serving as chairman of the committee in charge. The Class of 1938 has just completed an out- standingly successful social year. The first event was a Thanksgiving Dance held on the 20th of Treasurer FRED MANGOLD Vice-President November. Unfortunately the dance was not a financial success and it was necessary to hold a tea dance on February 21st to make up the deficit. Patterned after the dime-a-dance this one was called the 'fpenny-a-dance. Because of its novelty, the dance was extremely popular and did much to add to the class treasury. May 7th was tl1e date of the year's biggest social affair- the Junior Prom. Syncopation was supplied by the Blue Knights and decorations were created to resemble an ocean liner with dancing on ship- board. The success of the Prom was largely due to the energetic workers who are typical of the Junior Class. And so to greater achievements. 43 I 1 1 W I l J i 44 I ff I 1 I 4 1 5 , 45 MR. BURHANS Adviser FRANK HECKLINGER Secretary JOHN Lenin Vibe-President 46 Adviser WALTER PFEFFER President J on STRUBE Treasurer OPHO HE second largest class in Sewanhaka is the Sopho- more group, this year numbering only a few less than when it entered as first year students. These students have of course, after a year of high school, found themselves so to speak, scholastically and athletically, and their record as a result is easier to compile. On the morning of September 6, 1935, six hundred ninety-six Freshmen from the various district grammar schools, made their appearance at Sewanhaka. After several weeks spent in adapting themselves to their new surroundings and studies, they got busy with the real or- ganization of the class. Early in October, an election was held and the following persons became the officers for the year: Bruno Skoggard, Presidentg Floyd Carley, Vice- Presidentg Edward Schenker, Secretary, and Blanche Nus- sear, Treasurer. Student Council representatives were: John Hall, Jack Martin, and Robert Slawter. The Sophomores were not very successful athletically during their freshman year. Out of several hundred girls, approximately thirty turned out for the various intramural sports. These few did, however, make a creditable showing. They defeated the Junior girls at hitpin baseball twice and managed to hold second place in volley ball. From the list of boys, a number have showed their athletic ability in several varsity sports. Though their athletic record was not unusual for the class as a whole, they accomplished something of which they may be proud. Under the direction of Mr. Hill, a Freshman Band was organized, a number of players prov- ing themselves good material as musicians for a future Sewanhaka Band. The only social event of the season worthy of mention, was a tea dance given in November. Most classes have only one group function of any consequence during their first year of high school and the Sophomores did not mar the record. ORE Due to the length of the school day this year, as well as several other unfortunate circumstances, it was impos- sible for the Sophomores to attempt any organized class activities. Early in September there was an election held and the following persons were chosen to act as officers for the class this past year. Walter Pfeffer, the tall, blonde young man, became president. His fellow officers were: John Leier, Vice-President, Frank Hecklinger, Secretary, and Joseph Strube, Treasurer. The class also elected repre- sentatives to the Student Council in the persons of Edward Bakos, Madeline Fitzpatrick, and Lucille Armand. Much of the success attained by the class can he attributed to the enthusiasm of the oliicers. The Sophomores held only one real social gathering as freshmen and this year they also limited themselves to one activity of a formal nature. The Sophomore Hop was held on April 9 in the girls' gymnasium, which was gayly deco- rated for the evening. The dance was under the direction of the class president, who was aided in his work by Margaret Maurer, Chairman of the Decorations Committee, and Bruno Skoggard, Chairman of the Publicity Com- mittee. In an attempt to stimulate a wider enthusiasm for the prospective dance, among the Sophomores, a prelim- inary informal dance was held the latter part of March. Apparently a large number of the class were not particu- larly interested in tripping the light fantastic until they discovered that it is fun if one does not take himself too seriously. Mr. Louis Liebling took the responsibility upon his shoulders of encouraging those who were diliident, with the result that the informal affair was quite as suc- cessful as the Sophomore Hop. Dwight Culver's orchestra supplied the music. With big plans for the future and a determination to maintain the high standards of the Junior classes of the past, the present Sophomores are looking forward to an eventful and successful year to come. S,,fff 48 49 FRESH SUMMARY of the activities of any freshman class quite naturally cannot contain much history simply because there is none. It is true they have been in school for a whole year, but one year is a short time, and history is not written in a year. This class story will deal, therefore, primarily with personalities. First, however, in deference to custom let us begin by saying that early in the school year, the Freshmen elected as the president of the class, Edward Doyle. Edward proved to be an excellent choice at a task for which he was prepared by previous experience. Edward was the president of his class back in grammar school. He was and is, what might be termed a Mjack of all trades. On his Belmont Boule- vard School baseball team he played equally well as pitcher, shortstop, and first baseman. John Motyka and Harvey Stewart became the secretary and treasurer respectively. Like all other freshman classes the social activity of the group was rather noticeable by its absence. November 13, a tea dance was given in the gymnasium. As a prelude to general dancing, Dorothy Bockmill did a buck and wing toe dance, Lena Zumno was a ballerina, and Rose Saccone presented an acrobatic number. A stair dance was done by Mildred Tomas, and Ruth Volkman tap danced. Since this class chronicle is about personalities, it is proper and only fair that the Fresh- men speak for themselves. Dorothy Bockmill and Rhoda Hill have obligingly written about some of their classmates. After a few minor alterations and corrections the material which the writers collected, is presented here. Irma Collotti, lovely dark-eyed singer of the Fresh- man Class appeared in the operetta '4Pinafore, given in the school auditorium May 21. Irma's ambition is to become a singer. Walter Miller and Buddy Godfrey are a pair seen quite often on the courts playing tennis. Another rising tennis player is Harold Martin. Just try to return a few of his swift shots that come whizzing through the air and you will agree with those who have seen him.

Perha s the most important event of the school year as it affects Freshman scholarship, P was the introduction of a new system of testing under the direction of the Guidance De- partment. Reading, vocabulary, and personality tests were given to the eighth grade ' d d ll students before they arrived at Sewanhaka. The results of these tests have helpe an wi help in the future, to determine what courses the students should take. These examina- tions given last spring, brought to light the fact that a number of the Freshmen have the ability of college students. Unfortunately, the crowde con 1t1on o , it literally impossible to have any organized class activity. In spite of these unfavorable circumstances, the Freshmen this year had a passably busy and active time of it both scholas- tically and athletically. Now that they have adapted themselves to their new surroundings . . f and friends, and the new wings have been completed, it IS hoped that the Sophomores o ast and add to the lustre of Sewanhaka. d d' ' f the school and the lengthened school day made next year will continue the good work of the p 53 ACTIVI MUSIC THEY,RE swingin' high in the Sewanhaka musical or- ganizations and here are some members muggin' light.

HONOR SOCIETY THE HONOR socusrv is a national organi- zation, election to which indicates excel- lence in scholarship and social relations. A committee headed by Miss Olive Bucks, Dean of Girls, makes the selection of its members in the following manner. A list of Juniors in the upper quarter scho- lastically, and possessing a high person- ality rating, is determined and presented to the Central Committee consisting of the Senior and Junior Class advisers, the Totem supervisor and one department head. This group makes its decision with the aid of the Scholarship Committee. Ten to fifteen outstanding Juniors are chosen for membership in May. The fol- lowing fall, twenty or twenty-five more are added. The announcement of new members in the spring is sometimes given by Dr. Stanforth during an assembly pro- gram. The formal installation usually takes place some time later. The club meets twice a month for a general meeting of a social nature, the other a brief business affair. The mem- bers have endeavored to tutor students needing helpg have aided students absent from school, to keep up their work, have given teas for mothers of Seniors. 60 STUDENT COURT THROUGH the efforts of th Court was established by the student body to sentence pupils who commit infractions against the accepted stand- ards of school conduct as it relates to the students them- es not deal with cases in which the e Student Council, the Student selves.

The Court membership consists of a presiding judge, a jury of eight students, a court attendant, two sergeants- at-arms, and court stenographers. The jury sits in those cases in which the defendant panel is drawn from the student body at large. Although this undertaking is still in a formative stage it should prove successful as a training in citzenship. pleads not guilty.

Tl1e periodical was increased to six pages to allow introduction of new features including inter- views with stage and screen notables and a girls' fashion column. The format was modernized as well. Among the honors that contributed toward making 1937 the Chieftain's most successful year was the winning of the highest rating in New York State in the Columbia Scholastic ,Press Association contest. The staff received further recognition when the front page of the October 15 issue was reproduced in a printing trade pub- lication to illustrate modern newspaper makeup. PICA CLUB To develop worthy social habits and attitudesg to foster an appreciation of fine arts craftsman- ship and an understanding of industrial lifeg and to seek knowledge concerning the Graphic Arts Industries as a vocation or as a cultural leisure time activity and the purposes for which the Pica Club was formed.

The uThin Spacesw upon invitation become uNon- pareilsf' After membership of one year and the successful completion of an examination the MNonpareils,, in turn are raised to the rank of uPicas. Each year this organization does a valuable piece of work for Sewanhaka by print- ing programs, reports, and notices. AVIATION CLUB THE purpose of the Aviation Club is to further the knowledge, interest and activities of the future flyers of Sewanhaka. The general oppor- tunities in the field of aviation are investigated although the club does not attempt actual place- ment of its members. Lectures by aviators in- cluding a T. W. A. hostess and oliicer, trips to llying fields and factories and regular club meet- ings of interest to Senior boys and girls are some of the projects of the organization. MR. FRED Coolc . . .

The Artsmen render this valuable service to Sewanhaka, their purpose being to ad- vertise school activities. This they do success- fully through the medium of colorful and unique signs and posters. Membership in this organiza- tion is limited and select, for only those students who show actual talent in the field of art are invited to join. Their possibilities as artists are determined by competitive examination and two years of work in the club entitles the members to special letters. The social activities undertaken this year were a Hallowe'en party and a pledge party at which the persons Wl10 had served as pledges for a period of six months became members. ALPHA AND DELTA HI-Y HOME ECONOMICS HI-Y, ALPHA AND DELTA THE chapters of the Hi-Y are members of a county, state, and national organization.

The Cheerleaders have been active this year at football and basketball games. Several new cheers and motions were introduced by the head cheerleaders, the most popu- lar being the uNew Team Yell. During the school year students of the Sophomore class who are interested in becoming cheer- leaders are instructed by members of the squad and each spring there is a final selection of four boys and four girls of those who tried out during the year. Mr. Alfred Wheeler, who or- ganized the cheerleaders has been replaced by Mr. Walter Henlcen, who plans to add some interesting new cheers for next year.

Secretary-Treasurer JUNIOR RED CROSS THE members of the Sewanhaka Junior Red Cross Council are active contributors to the splendid work of the National Red Cross organization. They take charge of the annual roll call for new mem- bers and at Christmas distribute baskets of food to the needy. They cooperate with social welfare or- ganizations in the community and in times of emergency, solicit donations for the relief of suf- ferers. Last year Ruth Smith was sent as a delegate to the Red Cross Convention in Chicago. Gertrude Wolf, Leonard Bush and Ruth Smith attended this year's conven- tion which took place in Washing- ton from the tenth to the four- teenth of May. The outstand- ing activities undertaken by the council were: a pencil drive, a movie benefit, and a project for flood relief. The profits realized from these activities and the Roll Call were sent to the Central Chapter of the Red Cross in Hempstead. Over two hundred and sixty dollars was turned over to these Central organizations. THIS year greater attention has been given the Orchestra than ever before. Under the supervision of Mr. Reino Ahl- man, this group of string instruments has been increased by twenty-five to bring it to a total of sixty. During the year the Orchestra has given a number of concerts, some in col- laboration with the Band, others by itself. This type of musical organization lends itself readily to entertainment of smaller groups in that quartets and octets can be ar- ranged. Some of these groups entertained the Parent- Teacher Association, Dads' Club and the Association of American University Women. They also contributed their share of tl1e music at the festival in Manhasset. At the con- cert held April 23, they presented several selections. April 29 they gave a concert at New Hyde Park. During tl1e first week in May, concerts were also presented at the various grammer schools of the district. 68 BA IIA. ORCHESTRA BAND OFFICERS Mn. CHARLES HILL . . Director JAMES Luxnsrnoiu . .

Secretary NIICHAEL PAPPAS . . Treasurer SEWANHAKA has become well known on Long Island and the rest of New York State due in large part to the fine quality of the band it has pro- duced. Resplendent in their purple and white uniforms, the sixty-five members of tl1e organization, under the direction of Mr. Charles Hill, have proved themselves capable artists on numerous occasions. In the space allotted this organization we should like to go hack in retrospect and pick out some of the high points of the past two or three seasons. In April two years ago at the sectional contest held at Sewanhaka in which numerous Long Island high schools participated, our band re- ceived the award of uExcellent, the highest possible recognition. The following month Mr. Hillas musicians entered the New York State Band Contest held at Syracuse, in which contest they won the State champion- ship for Class MA High School Bands. After the close of school the resi- dents of the various towns in the Sewanhaka school district were enter- tained by eight open-air concerts. But the biggest and best news was yet to come. On March 6, 1936, a Variety Show was presented to raise funds for the trip to the National Band Contest at Cleveland. The State cham- pions proved themselves by winning the rating, Good, which means a great deal when it is remembered that they played in competition with the best of the country's high school bands. This year Mr. Hill's players continued their success by winning a rating of HHighly Superior Minus at the festival held in Manhasset. Earlier in the year a concert was given for a joint meeting of tl1e Parent- Teacher Association and Dads' Club. April 23, 1937, the annual Spring Concert was given in the auditorium of the high school. This year the Variety Show netted sulhcient money to buy instruments for the various grammar schools of the central high school district. General Philip Pelz, formerly a violinist for the Czar, was the guest conductor. STUDENT PATROL RADIO ANNOUNCERS RADIO ANNOUNCERS DAILY we hear the bulletins and notices over the radio yet few of us realize the careful planning and training required for this work. Auditions for as- pirants from the public speaking classes are given twice yearly. The persons approved are appointed for one year. This year's announcers were: James Healy, Peter Bayes, and Ruth Smith working under the guidance of Mr. Alfred Kiefer. TICKET COMMITTEE STUDENT PATROL THE TICKET COMMITTEE was organized four years ago for the purpose of handling the tickets at games and various affairs in the high school audi- torium. The only requirement for acceptance as a member in this group is a desire to be of assistance to the school, plus a natural aptitude for this type of work. Mr. Adolph Scholl and Mr. Gilbert Hoff- man are the advisers. Several boys have been mem- bers two years. TICKET COMMTITEE THE STUDENT SAFETY PATROL was organized in Se- wanhaka High School in 1936 and represents an effort to cooperate with the American Automobile Association and the Nassau County Police Depart- ment in making for greater safety for the children of the district while coming to and from school. The patrol is stationed at the curb, to hold back the students until the proper time to cross.

President JANE PowERs, Vice-president DORIS STONE . Secretary MURIEL WHITNEY, Treasurer CHARLES TOOKER, Sergeant-at-Arms SHORTER STORY Prologue You wanted to know something about my friend Charlie? Well, hereis just a little about what happened to him last year at school and how he kept his jokes when we all thought he would lose them. Only two weeks ago he had been voted the Mfunniest boy in high school. The 'Lpunniestn boy was what we called Charlie for he always had a pun instead of an answer for the teacher. But the teachers liked Charlie as well as we did. ffWl1at would school be without Charlie?'7 they used to laugh, as he went on with his joking. Then it happened. Word passed around the Wednesday biology class giving the reason why Charliels seat near the door was empty. Charlie's mother was dead. In a few days, Charlie was back at school, but he might have been someone else, so changed was he. The old Hippancy was gone, the jokes didn't seem to come nearly so often from Charlie these days. Anyone could see he was strangely affected. All the gang was extra kind to Charlie these days to draw him out of himself, but after a while he didn't respond. One by one we drifted away and left him alone. While before he had never paid atten- tion to lessons, now Charlie seemed to find consolation in his school work, and sur- prised his teachers by raising his marks and volunteering to do extra work. Still the gang, when they mentioned Charlie these days, spoke softly and a little reminiscently. Help came from an unexpected source to Charlie fand to usj. Mom Blake, our school nurse, and the pal of the entire school, watched the change in Charlie. He 76 used to go with her son, Tim, before Tim had gone away to prep school. She had often used Charliels presence to overcome the sensitiveness of her own boy, and had been the one responsible for Charlie's coming to our school. It was natural then, that Mom should try to help Charlie now. One day, after classes we heard her call him into her office. Charlie told us later what NlVlom had said to him that after- noon. 'fMom told Charlie that she herself had had the same strange feeling, the lost, alone feeling with a gang, when her husband, Tim's dad, had died. For a time she, too, had been lost in grief, she told Charlie. She, too, had felt that she would never want to laugh again. Then she came here, as our school nurse. The gayety of the students soon af- fected her and she discovered that it was only through contact with the people she loved that she would find happiness again. 'flVIom's,, story, and her secret, was a great thing for Charlie. He showed up next day with a sort of satisfied look on his face, and it seemed to us that he didn't look worried any more. And when he laughed-gee, it was swell, and he didn't glance around to see if anyone was looking-but he joked for all of us, like old times. After awhile every- thing seemed to settle back to the way it used to be, and in a few weeks we were all deep in work on the class prom. That's just about all there is to the story about Charlie-but it's certainly great to have him the same as he always was. He's waiting for me now. We're going over to Mom Blake's for supper and lid better hurry. AUTOGRAPHS TUMBLING SQUAD BASEBALL GREATLY handicapped by lack of practice and a scarcity of veterans, the Sewanhaka baseball team started the season rather poorly. Improving as the season progressed, however, the team soon began to click. At this writing the tribe has had a percentage of .500, having won 5 and lost 5. A turnout of 120 candidates gave Coach Al Kumerow a large group from which to select his squad. Among the players from this group was Gerald Sniffen, a Freshman, and perhaps the most outstanding find of the year. A new battery was discovered in Charles Terwilliger and Carl Caputo, pitcher and catcher, respectively. They are not only a good twirling combination, but are both capable batters. Other members of the squad who are worthy of mention were: Walter Lang, Lawrence Merritt, Joseph Zinc, Winet Slocomhe, William Brenner, Fred Mangold, Robert Mayer, George Oppel, Donald Brown, William Harrison, Warren Kolkebeck, Frank Hecklinger, Joseph Gutierrez. HLETICS NTRAMURAL ATHLETICS in Sewanhaka are intended to answer a need for activity not furnished by the interscholastic sports. It is the aim of the intramural program to furnish sports for all based upon the individual needs of the students. It offers an opportunity for team and individual competition. The intramural program offers training in leadership inasmuch as it takes a number of boys to plan, organize, and direct the various matches and competitions. During the past year the intramural program has been enlarged to include softball, horse shoes, shuffle board besides handball, tennis, soccer, basketball, cross country, riding, wrestling and tumbling. Interscholastic athletics serve to stimulate bodily vigor in the youth. Such athletics as we have at Sewanhaka will give a boy the proper slant on life and will teach him to meet various problems of real value. The best feature of inter-school sports is that it satisfies a boy's natural impulses and instruments of play spirit. The natural forms of activity are running, jumping, climbing, throwing, and striking. It is upon these forms of activity that all our modern games and sports are founded. 79 VARSITY SQUAD FOOTBALL WHEN forty boys out of a total of one thousand registered male students reported for the first practice session of the 1936 football season on the first day of school last September, Coach Kumerow realized that nothing short of a miracle would enable him to put a winning machine on the gridiron. With two weeks before the opening contest to form a playing unit out of the greenest material he had ever trained, Coach Kumerow went about his task of conditioning, and teaching fundamentals to the many embryonic 'LRed Grangesw. The Indians faced a schedule composed of games with Jamaica, Lyn- brook, Long Beach, Baldwin, Hempstead, Freeport, and Chaminade High Schools, the latter the traditional enemy of the Purple and White, and last but not least, an all-star Alumni eleven. In the opening game, the Indians surprised everyone by downing a strong Jamaica squad 7 to 6 in the most dramatic finish ever staged by a Sewanhaka team. Another surprise came the following week when the strong Alumni eleven, that had been picked from two to four touchdowns better than the undergrads, was upset 12 to 6. Lynbrook next invaded the Floral Park reservation and scored twice on intercepted passes in the first five minutes of play to win 12 to 0. . 9 L n e .,,, 1 . 1 Baldwin had an easy time downing the Purple and White 18 to O. The not-so-warlike Red Skins ventured away from their reservation and visited the lair of the Hempstead Tiger. Their invasion repulsed, the warriors returned home with the wrong end of a 50 to 0 score. Long Beach High scored its first touchdowns of the year and in doing so added a 13 to 7 blot in Sewanhaka's record hook. The Frenchmen of Chaminade High played host to their tra- ditional rivals and although tl1e Indians crossed the Fliers goal for the first time in four years, they lost the decision 21 to 6. Sewanhaka ended the season in victory, however, topping Freeport 12 to 0. xv I, JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD WRESTLING SEwANHAIcA's wrestling team this year worked under a handicap. With no satisfactory place for workouts, they necessarily had few practices. The only reason matches were held was to keep alive the sport until more favor- able conditions were obtained. Next year the team hopes to have a room solely for its practices. TUMBLING TUMBLING, which requires definite skill and coordination, proved to be a worthwhile athletic activity for fifty boys, who received credit toward their intramural letters. The group put on acts for two as- sembly programs and entertained the Dads' Club at one of their meetings. TENNIS THE TENNIS TEAM, under the di- rection and coaching of Mr. Mar- shall Miller, has had the most re- markable record for any sport at Sewanhaka. Up to the time the Totem went to press they had won 18 matches in succession, and a total of 23 since the Totem of last year. GOLF OUTSTANDING for its achievements on the links, the Golf Team is ranked along with the Tennis Team as the most successful in the school. lt has won two conference championships, and at this writing it appears that it will win a third this year. TRACK SUFFERING the worst season in its history, the Se- wanhaka track team lost seven of the eight meets. The final score in the Freeport meet was 62- 33. Tying in the high jump and winning three track places, Sewanhaka lost to Lynbrook 54-41, Downed by Valley Stream Central High with a score of 61-34, the only Sewanhaka wins were two track firsts. The Sewanhaka-Chaminade meet was lost when the mile was the sole lirst place won by our team. In a triangle meet against Freeport and Hemp- stead, a trackman was our only winner. Winning the 100, 440 mile, 220 hurdles, 880 relay, shot putt and broad jump, Sewanhaka beat Great Neck 51-44. THE SEWANHAKA HIGH SCHOOL basketball team ended its seventh campaign on the court with eight victories and an equal number of defeats. The team this year was guided by Mr. Alfred Caine, who took over Mr. Kumerow's post as basketball mentor. Henry Piro for the second year in succession was high scorer with 92 points, while Ken Ger- mann and William Remsen gave a good account of themselves with 73 and 49 points respectively. The team as a unit scored 294 points during the season for an average of 18 points per game. It was the last season for Henry Piro, Robert Stewart, Joseph Auld, and Milton Hyman. BASKETBALL GOLF THE chief purpose of the girls' golf group is to perfect their game to a tee. About six girls under the supervision of Miss Emma West- fall leave Sewanhaka each Friday afternoon to play at the New Hyde Park Golf Club. Among the frequent goers are Eleanor John- sen, Andrea Anderson, Bertha Morganroth, Eleanor Cyr, Dot Krug, Elizabeth Smedley. GIRLS' ATHLETIC CLUB SOCIABILITY is the keynote of this cluh's activi- ties. Swimming at the Hotel St. George or the Sun and Surf Club, roller skating at the rink in Mineola, both add to the enjoyment of memhers. Miss BERYL HUBBARD . Adviser DOROTHY STRAUSS . President ARLENE ROHN . . Secretary BETTY STEWART . Treasurer ARCHERY THIS fall's archery tournament found thirty- six enthusiastic participants trying their best to receive recognition as a winner. Betty Stewart of the Junior Class, noted for her skill in the William Tell game, edged out three worthy rivals for title of champion. She totaled 175 points, while Marguerite Kirchner and Evelyn Meyer both tied for second. VOLLEY IF any team attempted to challenge the supremacy of the fiery Juniors, they were unsuccessful, for their strong rivals won every official game in the calendar of Girls' Intramural Sports. The championship in volley hall was captured by a group of ten athletic Juniors. This group of girls TENNIS EARLY in September the girls tennis team held their annual tournament. Title of Sewanhaka's tennis queen was conferred on .lean Ferry- man, an outstanding Freshman who won by default. Jane Powers, a Senior. was runner- up. About twenty-one advanced players took part in this sport. There were also fifty be- ginners who were all supervised by Mrs. Todd. BALL have shown outstanding ability in the line of intramural sports. Their competing classes did not have the opportunity to show their superi- ority. The Sophomores came in sec- ond while the Seniors, losing five games and winning one, tied with the Freshmen for last honors. FISTBALL FIST BALL was introduced in Sewanhaka this year and proved to be quite a popular sport. High laurels was taken by the Juniors who won all but one game during the entire play- offs. The Seniors were runners-up. They won four contests and lost two. The Freshmen won two and lost four. Losing five games, the Sophomores finished last. RIDING EVERY WEDNESDAY afternoon the girls who en- gaged in Intramural Riding went to the Lake- side Riding Academy, accompanied by Mrs. Ida Todd. The advanced riders posted around the bridle path with Mrs. Todd, while the beginners were taught at the academy. About forty active girls took part in this healthful and invigorating sport and through it, received intramural credit. TENNIS THE increasing popularity of tennis in Sewan- haka has been shown hy the large turnout. Among those to triumph in their net cam- paigns this year were Henry lmke, champ of the Seniorsg William Quast, head man of the Junior Classg and among the Sophomores, Donald Burden was the tops. This year s tennis manager was Donald Early. VOLLEY BALL ONE of the school's most popular intramural sports, volley ball, furnished the cause for some hotly contested battles in the Boys, gym. Home Room Auditorium 7 topped Home Room B. G. 2 in the final game and became this year's volley hall champions of Sewanhaka. The Freshmen deserve a good deal of credit for advancing to the finals. CROSS COUNTRY IN one of the most grueling intramural sports, the cross country run, Adolph Harden of home room 18, emerged victorious, with Robert Gladd, John Burke, and Kenneth Cutter sec- ond, third and fourth respectively. There were six weeks of practice, and then the final event was run from the rear of the school to Hempstead Turnpike and hack. HAND THIS is the most popular sport among students in Sewanhaka. During the school year there were two tourna- ments, one in the Fall and one in Spring. The winner of the Fall tournament was .lohn Walsh, a senior. The champion of the Spring tournament was Seymour Goldstein. SOCCER THE galloping horde of Home Room B. G. 2 thundered down the stretch to overcome the team of Boys' Gym 3 in the play-oil' for the title of soccer kings of Sewanhaka. This is quite a remarkable achievement in view of the fact that the runners-up were freshmen and the opposition had had experience in playing together in previous years. BALL Some of the contestants were: DONALD JASSEL, Handball Manager Julius Brandi Walter Lang Louis Whaley Emil Lindal Edward Store John McCann Rosario Cacciatore Warren Tamargo Robert Lewis Phillip Levine Robert Hall Paul Schroer BASKETBALL A Mosr SUCCESSFUL new addition to the vari- ous athletic teams of Sewanhaka was the Fresh- man Basketball Team. In View of the fact that there was a very large turnout and that every one of the aspirants was given a chance to play in the games, it is re- markable that the team ended up on the top side of a .500 averageg they are to be congratu- lated. RIDING FOR those people who were interested, outdoor riding was established as a sport in Sewan- haka. The participants received instructions and rode once every week. As there was no competition with other schools, the main ob- jects of the riders were to obtain recreation and to stimulate interest in this extra-curricu- lar activity.
