They are the recipients of a magnificent physical struc- ture, the Syosset High School, and the fine facilities and equipment that go along with it. ln a sense, the student body and the faculty of the school have been handed a mass of unmolded clay, the fulfillment of whose potentialities only awaits the hand of its users. These first graduating classes of Syosset, then, are under an obligation to themselves, to the school, and to future classes, to create a set of precedents and traditions which will individualize Syosset High School. These first few classes must see to it that Syosset carries with it an acceptance of certain uni- versal values, and must make the student body aware of the presence of these values. Now is a crucial time for this school. We can shrug and hand responsibility to someone else, if that happens, this building will remain just another structure. On the other hand, we can resolve to work, and create a mold for Syosset, we would then be giving to those who follow us the wonderful gift of belonging somewhere. STAFF -Q ' S...

FRENCH PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1959 You are about to leave us, so it is to you that this message is directed. Those of you who claim Woodbury School as a part of your past, or have been with us these last two years, will know well my meaning when I say we have come a long way together. Syosset High School has grown in size, but most important, it has become a well-respected institution The credit for this advance is due as much to the student leadership as it is to any other single factor. The members of the Senior Class have played their role well. hhere do you go from here? As a class, you will be scattered to various schools, colleges and jobs. As adults you will carry numberless responsibilities. We, your teachers and administration, feel you are well prepared for these responsibilities. we will not soon forget you, our first class, and we will be following your successes with interest and pride. Vin 'QVWA' , K- if WCF:pa Dr. William C. French, Principal, Syosset High School ,ir HUl'K!lWHFl Everybody, absolutely everybody, knows Mr. Kupec. You couldn't help but see him in the halls. lf you belonged to any organization, he was bound to show up at one of your meetings. If you went to the assemblies, he'd be there too. If you just happened to wander about lwith a pass, of coursel, you'd see him. But, if you had to see him in his office when it was a matter of life and death to find him, this guy would find the darnedest places to hide. The Main Office, truly a hub of activity in Syosset, served as a clearing house for a constant stream of assorted characters: students, visitors, teachers. If you wanted a notice in the bulletin, you went to the Main Office. If you were late, illegally absent, in line for some citation, or after an interview with some VIP, you went . . . to the Main Office. If you couldn't get to see Dr. French, you could always see Mrs. Miley at the switchboard. lf you couldn't get a response from Mrs. Miley, you could always ask Mrs. Aloisio .... lf you couldn't see Mrs. Aloisio ....

Well, then came the pitter-patter of feet to the library for a lesson in word usage. Entrance having been gained through various security checks, you'd find the word, march back to the Dean and then . . . off to the nurse.

F'r instance . . . the art teacher recently had to extricate a student from a blob of clay, and the music director had to call in the shop ex- perts with their acetylene torch to untwine one musician from a carnivorous tuba.

It all started as classes began in the red brick turreted building on the turnpike. There, going over the hill to lunch d everyday routine. The following year in I956 an gym was part of the , , we inherited three acres of building-draft, wet concrete, no lights, stray ladders, falling workers and a seventy acre sea of the be t s mud Long Island could supply. We did, however, progress to the finished state. In our iunior year, the facilities for faculty and students were enlarged. In this ear t y , oo, we were introduced to the College Problem and What To Do After High School Characteristic f . o our iunior term was the attempt to initiate the traditions that are a necessary part of every high school. Many of us were fortun t a e enough to march on to our senior year with hopes of fantastic frivolity- gay, mad, wonderful: college, applications, scho- lastic f ' ' ' rustrations, and privilege deprivations.

Conversely, no crea- tivity would be possible without the basic tool of language. The English Department planned its program with this thought in mind. Students at Syosset were introduced to a liter- ature, world-wide in scope, which helped them attain intercultural understanding along with the other rudiments: comprehension and enioyment. 54 ENGLISH JUNIOR ENGLISH PUBLIC SPEAKING CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION ,,',L.. 'F'..--1- ' HONOR AMERICAN HISTORY A. Holly Patterson addresses Problems in American Democracy class. With our democratic principles threatened by external agents and internal apathy, we must do our best to protect our cherished heritage and liberties. Though we might have been beleaguered by the Age of Reaction, the Pax Romana, the Scalawags, Teapot Dome, and Sherman Adams, the purpose of the Citizenship Education Department was to instill in us responsible thinking, intelligent initiative and concerted, logical democratic action. We were acclaimed by many newspapers for our unusual method of learning, we enioyed lectures by men and women in the various facets of the world scene, classroom discussions, direct work with the community organizations, and excursions to various institutions. America, awake! We have citizens for you! WORLD HISTORY 55 While the scientists of this century have striven to uncover new principles and devise new applications of these principles, it has also been their express desire that civilization does not 'forget its moral obligation to itself. The Science Department hoped that its course of study in Syosset High School would in- still in the students a desire to search for pure knowledge concurrent with a feel- ing of moral responsibility toward their fellow men. As proof of the excellence of our Science Department, the i958 Science Congress was featured here. Furthermore, the conscientious students could avail themselves of advancement opportunities within the department. 56 MATH sgawmql. ,east - egg, f , is 4txW,5q5lscf, 9 tgp: sift 3 W Q12 f ,M - A wsfglw . tr WN Q P3331 . .,... i . ,I ., , l l g fiiiiil The course in mathematics, as delineated by the Math Department, was not designed merely to enable us ro learn the intricacies of mathematical calculation, but also to build within us the ability to think logically. Here at Syosset we had the advantage of ideal facilities and a well-qualified statt. Students were able to continue a math course through the senior year. As in our Science Department, the more ambitious students took advantage of a wonderful newly ini- tiated advancement program. 57 --1---n..,t......,.t.. LANGUAGE With the world growing progressively smaller, it is only natural that the study of foreign language has become pro- minent as a basic tool of understanding. The department, recognizing this trend, saw tit to include a broad language program in the Syosset High School cur- riculm. The class of 'I959 saw great changes. ln '55, the begin- ning of the high school's history, three languages were of- fered: Latin, French and Spanish, all taught by Mrs. Osoinak. By 1959, we had tour languages and eight more teachers. henna I asian? Just as the efforts of great men have given delight and enlightment to the world, so the eFforts of the unsung heroes of the Art Department have given pleasure and guidance to the students of Syosset High School. They endeavored to instill in us a sense of creativity and inventiveness, and tried to channel our thoughts toward the recognition and apprecia- tion of beauty. Realizing the presence of diverse talents and interests, the Art Department offered many specialized courses to the future painters, sculptors, designers, commercial artists, and dabblers. It was a year of expansion and progress for the Department, and thanks to an excellent staff, a very successful one. One of the most enioyable and rewarding forms of Art is music. Mr. William T. Netter, an erudite, tall man, the first music department chairman, had the opportunity to esta- blish and coordinate the organization of the Syosset High School Orchestra, the band, the choir, the chorus and the marching band. The curriculum, a discussion of music theory, construction, history and thought, augmented by audio aids was well planned and executed. The fine arts were not obscured in Syosset High School.

U44 Essential to any organization is an efficient working staff composed of skilled typists, accountants, and business lawyers. The Business Department constantly experimented with new ways to relate their material to the realities of business. To carry out this plan, they initiated a program in which actual office work was integrated with the school clay. Our Home Economics course has grown since the Woodbury School icebox and ovens. ln Syosset, home design, nutrition values, sewing, general household instructions, BUSINESS and cooking were all part of the course. The only bad feature of the set up was that fifth and sixth period classes were subiect to severe-mental and gastric frustrations caused by the delectable odors emanating from the ovens. Advanced Foods HOME ECONOMICS General Print Shop Man's ideas, in order to be considered worthwhile, must be capable of practical application. The Industrial Arts Department made practical applications of the concepts that academic subjects introduced only as theory. The graduates of the Industrial Arts Department were able to assume a role in American industry. We are proud of the growth of this department, for now it can take its place as a vital part of the school. Each year many lives are tragically lost on the highways due to human error. Through the learning experience on the road, classroom theory and the forceful eltorts of our Driver's Education Department, our students became aware of the need for vehicular safety.

Spirits soared to a new high as the second varsity year came to a resounding climax at the home field to place-the Braves second in the North Shore Athletic League, Sec- tion three. Under the able direction of the wise leader, Al Como, and with the help of the assistant coaches the thrity-three Braves improved their game and built a strong defense. The young Braves with its powerful backs, Batza, Kingsbury, Hague, and Erickson, drove for a total of 216 points while the line spearheaded with Vallery, Kimball, Peeler, Cramer, Pecheur, Otis and Gorman. Their defensive held the opposition to 85 points. The 1958-1959 season, the first to establish us as a senior squad, showed how exciting a good competitive sport can be.

Section 3 of the North Shore Athletic League was the most improved in the county. We go along with that. Syosset, a powerful block in that highly competitive area, was a hard team with which to contend. The Syosset cagers were led by the in- domitable senior, John Morris who averaged 16 points a game and picked off better than 20 rebounds per contest. The stands, crowded with yelling spectators, were tense with suspense when Chet Lukaszewski's ra- dar shots came swooping through the loop. The defensive star iunior, Dennis Wolownik held down the opponents to below par scores. 70 VARSITY BASKETBALL X JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL W. Hendricks W. Anderson, G. Zorelic, lst row: L.

The red suits swarmed over the Syosset track field and brought honor and distinction to the alma mater. Kim Kimball, Bernie Bontemps, Jim Peeler and Louis Yannotti shared the outstanding track positions of 1959. By mid-season Kimball was approaching the six foot high- jump mark and the rest of the team was doing its best to break all past records. The big field of the battling Braves was a display of all regulation track events: shot, discus, pole vault, high jump, track relay, milers, the 440, 220 and 100 yard dash. We played hard, skillfully, bravely and sportingly. The coaches Clint Miller and Dick Herzer practiced the cinder men hard and long.

Accordingly, the Thalian Chapter of the N.H.S. of Syosset High School demanded these same qualities of prospective members. In February, I958, the Thalian Chapter of the N.H.S. was established with the initiation of twenty-six of our best students. In October, 1958, the membership was, increased to seventy-three. The Service Corps, a vital asset to the school's operation, worked in cooperation with the faculty and the student body to render service to the school and the community. 84 SERVICE CORPS Tried walking down the hall without a pass lately? KEY CLUB Community interest has been a virtue since the time of the Greeks. Part of our citizenship learning is the awareness of the world about us, the pride in willing service to others and the sense of achievement acquired in proiects for self-betterment. lt is not surprising to find in Syosset High School many service organizations, serving the community, the school and the home. One of them is the Community Committee, an active, powerful and efficient group which successfully conducted charity drives for the Save the Children Federation, also helped to collect money for the Scholarship Fund and provided a family in Syosset with a Christmas filled with the spirit of giving. The other organization, well-run and bujlt of hard- working members, is the Key Club. This year they received their charter, making them an official arm of the Syosset Kiwanis Club. The club is sincerely interested in town affairs and has made many behind-the-scene contributions toward its well-being. COMMUNITY COMMITTEE 85 CIVIL DEFENSE JUNIOR RED CROSS 'E WS if-me 1 s i if A , ar' f..l'lYflf C i iv' clvli DEFENSE COMMITTEE ln time of national disaster, of floods, hurricanes or war it is always the civil populace that has the responsi- bility, the will and the strength to rebuild. lt is also public duty to house the homeless, to feed the starving, to attend the maimed and to protect themselves against national or international calamities. Civil Defense has become important because of the terrors of war, the ravages of recent floods and the rapid growth of population and the large scale problems this growth entails. The Civil Defense Committee, aware not only of possible war damage but of these other disasters, would have been able to react efficiently by assigning wardens and nurses to stricken areas. Among the many units coordinate with Civil Defense is Red Cross whose helping hand stretches nationally and internationally. The tremendous amount of money needed to support this organization has been collected in part through the eltorts of the many tireless workers of Syosset High School's Junior Red Cross.

A 32 W, sw Q X FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Very often the student clubs have been designed to supplement the normal school curriculum and to open new horizons of interest to the career-minded. The Future Teachers of America CFTAJ, a national organization, has a chapter in Syosset High School which acquaints the potential peda- gogues with teaching life, duties, and responsibilities and its rewards, benefits and enjoyments. The Biology-Aquarium club, purely local in origin, was nevertheless, iust as effective in fulfilling its goals. This club brought the students closer to their interests, permitting them to experiment, research and discuss. It is probable that through the efforts of similar organizations that many students learn of vast new fields in their respective interest areas. BIO-AQUARIUM CLUB Fair Ophelia, your. . .you. . .er, ah, um. . . The Dramatics Club, a group of bright and shining actors, brilliant in portrayal, sparkling in speech and witty in thought, rivaled the Broadway productions in performance. Cyrano, Witness for the Prosecution, The Hasty Heart, and The Teahouse of the August Moon were all done with exceptional skill. The critics raved, hailed and wel- comed this new outburst of talent in Syosset, hoping that Broadway would somehow benefit from their talent. DRAMA l CHOIR BANDS Choir Syosset High had every type of outlet: artistic, physical, mental. The choir and chorus are a combination of them all. They encompassed the artistic in their beautiful arrangements, the physical in the power and strength of their performance, and the mental in the thought behind the works. In December the chorus began what we hope will be a tradition: a holiday songfest, with the melodies and tunes of the season of ioy sung in a very wonderful assembly program. Syosset was proudly represented in several out-of-school concerts where they proved themselves excellent ambassadors of one of our finest school organizations. Orchestra 4 Marching Band You certainly can't count on your fingers the number of musicians we had . . . not even on your toes. First, there was the orchestra, constantly rehearsing for their many performances. The band, competing with the orchestra for top billing, started modestly and increased to fifty-two members: brass, drums and woodwinds. The size of the band grew so large that a marching band was organized and played exuberantly at the football games. A third group, completely divorced from the others, was a swing band. Hint to the class of '79: How about some chamber music to round out the picture?
