YEARBOOK 14,1 aww Oh! Those Saturdaysl All hail INITIUM, a creatium, our creatium, first issue, first edition, first year, first class! Deadline nightmares added to financial worries, missing pictures, unfinished layouts and no copy: such constituted the worrjes of the harried editors. On Saturdays, dear readers, they'd trudge back to the school at dawn and work 'til the rubber cement, printer's ink and pencil leads were firmly wedged beneath their finger nails and the last drop of rebel blood had been shed. All, however, was not toil, they concede that the horsemeat hamburgers and extra- seltzerated sodas, though obnoxious, were part of the general enjoyment. Standing: A. Lichman, B. Shapiro, A. Sabina, A. Vorperian, J. Patterson L. Whitton, R. Berger. Seated: Mrs. DeRosa, S. Wiener, L. Yoepp, S. Lynch At last! Peace and quiet! Www- 7' AN' .1 -I if :mi 1

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
