Freeport High School - Voyageur Yearbook (Freeport, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1953 volume:

Foreword Although we cannot be exactly sure what Emerson believed when he tendered the advice, Hitch Your Wagon to a Star , for us, the students of today—the builders of tomorrow, peace might be the ultimate goal. The wheels on our wagon might well be our four years at F. H. S. The hopes and idealism gained from Emerson's advice could serve as the power to pull this wagon toward the common star of peace. Our path would not be easy; but the results, rewarding. As you thumb through this record of the Class of '53, may you picture yourself at the reins of a swift wagon winding its way toward a star of peace. 2 Dedication From the first, brisk day of our seventh grade until the recessional march at our June commencement, Mr. J. Wesley Southard has striven to brighten our pathway to a successful future. No words could possibly convey our appreciation for his untiring efforts. Therefore we, the class of 1953, with sincere gratitude and deepest affection dedicate this yearbook to our principal and friend, J. WESLEY SOUTHARD. 3 in Memoriam Her sunny laughter, her warm disposition, the shafts of sunlight which lit the red-gold of her hair—all those qualities and so many more intangible aspects of Gloria Nitschke's personality we shall remember. Whenever seen in F. H. S. halls, Gloria was on the go , attending a meeting, chatting with a classmate, or writing an assignment. A cheerful and trustworthy comrade, she numbered among her friends, teachers and students alike. And so, because at some time in our lives we are privileged to meet someone who will always live, Gloria's death can never seem final; rather her short life will be a living memory. C I ) I Eugene Huxley began working in Freeport High School as a night cleaner on January 1, 1934. His hard work and tireless efforts led to his appointment as Head Custodian ten years later. On February 23, 1953, after nineteen years of service to our school, Mr. Huxley died. Gene , as he was known to all students and teachers, was efficient and enthusiastic in all his endeavors. He especially enjoyed and had particular pride in preparing for the annual Freeport High School Commencement Exercises. Mr. Huxley will be greatly missed by his associates, the faculty, and the students, all of whom have enjoyed the advantages of a helpful and willing custodial staff in Freeport High School during his tenure. A if tMW limit RETIREMENT It is with sincere regret that we announce the retirement of two members of our high school faculty, Miss Gladys MacArthur of the History Department and Miss Olive Swan, Librarian. Through years of service Miss MacArthur and Miss Swan have made many contributions for which they will be long and affectionately remembered. Before Miss Gladys MacArthur came to Freeport High School in 1924, she had earned a B. A. degree in history from Wellesley College. Since then she has had a varied career including teaching, business ventures, and overseas service with the Young Women's Christian Association during World War I. After instructing Latin classes for her first four years with us, she turned to teaching history and has aided many students in the World History course. Besides this, she has been a Junior Red Cross advisor for several years and has loyally sup- ported all Red Cross drives and activities. She will be remembered for her keen sense of humor which often eased a tense situation or poured oil on troubled waters . Miss Olive Swan, native of Warrensburg, New York, graduated from Syracuse University in the class of '16 with an A.B. degree. She started her career in Freeport High School as librarian, a post which she has ably filled ever since. Many students have sought and received valuable aid from her in selecting books suitable for the standards of high school reading. As faculty advisor to the Library Club, she has trained students in the proper care and management of a library. The best wishes of students and faculty friends follow Miss Swan and Miss MacArthur in their retirement. 9 To the Class of 1953 Once again it is a privilege and pleasure to greet a class about to graduate from Freeport High School and to extend best wishes from the Board of Education. We are very happy to note the success that has been yours during your years as undergraduates and our most sincere hope is for your future success in the years to come. Your theme, Hitch Your Wagon To a Star , is certainly aiming high. It's really a challenge and a true test of one's imag • ination. Fortunately, you all are the product of a free people and a free country where family background, financial standing, or social position is no hinderance in your selection of a career providing you have the will to succeed. So to aim high is perfectly American. The great need of the world today is more young people with such high ideals. I personally have known a goodly number of the Class of 1953 from kindergarten through to graduation day, have watched them in plays in elementary classes, on the athletic field, in the band and choruses, and have admired them for their high scholarship, good fellowship, and school spirit of which the pages of this yearbook will be a source of refreshing memory in the years to come. President of Board of Education 10 Greetings to the Class of 1953 I wish I were able to convey to you the thrill that comes to me in speaking in your assemblies, in meeting you at your athletic contests, your school plays, and the pleasure and privilege of greeting you along the high school corridors. As I look at your accomplishments and records, I feel great pride in the present generation of young people. Because of all that the Class of 1953 has signified in character, intellect, and school spirit; of all that has been done to uphold the standards and ideals of Freeport High School through your thoughtful service and diligent effort, it seems appropriate that you should choose the theme — Hitch Your Wagon to a Star , for the 1953 Yearbook. That has been your purpose and your method for four years. Great achievement always comes from striving to attain high ideals. Any student who does not catch the significance of loyal devotion to high ideals has missed the better part of his education. May you continue to hold your standards aloft. That one word — ideals — six letters, tells the story and fixes the objective for educational, social and spiritual endeavor. The important story of mankind has been and always will be one of purposeful creation. Broad horizons, great desires, virile hopes, and big programs constitute the backgrounds and foundations for success. As yet, we have not been able to measure exactly the power of determination, initiative, inventiveness, enthusiasm, will power and loyalty, but we do know that collectively they constitute the vehicle which, coupled with high ideals, carries us as individuals to high places on the road to achievement and worthwhile living. May happiness and all good things worth having be yours and may the training which you have obtained in Freeport High School aid in the attainment of your ambitions. Best wishes for success in every endeavor. Superintendent of Schools 11 Congratulations to the Class of 1953 In centuries past, the art of celestial navigation provided daring seamen with guides necessary to permit expeditions to sail uncharted seas. The constancy of the stars in the Heavens increased the faith and hope of many would-be-doubters and allowed men to direct their course and to calculate their position. The desert nomad, the trader of the East leading heavy-laden caravans, the Indian making his way through trackless forests followed the stars that lit the pathways. The quenchless brightness of these heavenly bodies gave to the humblest of men and to royalty alike that comfort and courage which comes from keeping ones sights ever upward. Few graduating -classes from Freeport High School have been forced to face as many challenges as loom before the Class of 1953. War lurks on the horizon. The economic future is uncertain. The freedoms of the American citizen are subjecte3 to supreme tests both from within and without, The everyday dealings among men call for high moral values and hardy physical stamina. Hitch your wagon to a star. As of old the brightness of your star can be the inspiration that urges you onward toward your ultimate goal and the guide post that may well light your road to success. The constancy of your star can bring you happiness and the fulfillment of your ambition. Today's world requires that you strive to be exceptional; that you equip yourself mentally, morally, physically and spiritually to face and solve your problems. The quality of your ambition to meet and conquer your world will be reflected in the ultimate attainment of your goal. Class of 1953, this is your challenge. 1) Hitch your ambition to an ideal. 2) Hitch your wagon to a Star. . Good luck, good fortune and God's blessing always. J. Wesley Southard 12 Administration and Guidance Whether you're a bewildered seventh grader confronted with questions of your new high school life or a hopeful senior planning to attend college, the guidance department is always willing to help solve your problems. Entering these offices with their cozy home-like atmospheres, students feel completely at ease to discuss their problems. Although the guidance department is concerned with adjusting pupils to high school life, it is especially interested in guiding the students in choosing their future careers. Under the supervision of Miss Alice V. Davis and Mr. John Hesse, junior high school boys and girls become acquainted with the curriculum of F. H. S. When sophomores, these students partici- pate in a series of aptitude and preference tests, the results of which aid greatly in determining their future vocation. Guided by the sincere and warm personality of Miss Mary Didas and the untiring efforts of Mr. C. Overton Tremper, senior high students receive advice on possible careers and information regarding colleges and employment. As we, the class of '53 realize the debt we owe to our advisors who have truly shown us how to Hitch Our Wagon to a Star , we offer them our appreciation and thanks. 13 Language Department Standing left to right: Mr. Eric Smithner, Miss Lilah Cushman, Miss Esther Brown.

Sometimes it was difficult to express our exact thoughts and memories in terms of layouts and copy; other times the innovations we planned frightened and baffled us. Although during those doubtful moments we were willing to return to comfortable and conservative methods, we kept on because we felt that you, the Class of '53, would want a truly individual Voyageur. Yet this staff, like any other yearbook group from time immemorial, was torn by arguments and trials. Perhaps it was only Joanie, who, as Literary Editor, had given up trying to decipher someone's copy, or Neil, who realized too late that the photographer's schedules had never been compiled. But there was always Emil, our peacemaker, who wrote sports copy with one hand and smoothed our furrowed brows with the other. Jean was virtually our girl Friday who besides typing copy, never forgot to call the printer or remind us of various meetings. Russ was the quiet one; he'd say little and then arrive at the next meeting with a col- lection of breathtakingly beautiful drawings. Gerri had the art of making us laugh in crises,- as Girls' Sports Editor she knew the latest gossip from the locker rooms and kept us well-informed. Evelyn, typing diligently, was the phenomenon; she remained a lady, never raising her voice through our more heated tiffs. There was Lea who eagerly refilled our digestive systems with pretzels and licorice and satisfied our curiousity with all the club happenings. Rosie, or Rosemary in her more sedate moments, worked over her pages like a mother bear guarding her cubs. The pages are, of course, the Senior Band section. However, the whole staff is united on one point: that we owe the final results, the very essence of our yearbook, to Mrs. Albert, who miraculously endured our tantrums, changes of mind, and even our occasional apathy, to guide us in producing this book. And so we end those cherished years at Freeport High School. .If in the future this book will aid you in recalling nostalgically those precious, fleeting moments of high school life, then we will have accomplished the supreme task of a yearbook staff: to enclose between the two covers of a book the very spirit of our Alma Mater. DOLORES WURTZEL Senior The pinnacle of success for every senior is induction into the Senior National Honor Society. Only the fifteen per cent membership is entitled to wear the gold emblem of this organization, the keystone bearing the flaming torch with the letters C. S. L. S. inscribed its base. These letters stand for the four cardinal principles of the Honor Society — Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Using these basic principles as a guide for life and a successful future, these students truly have taken one of the first steps in hitching their wagon to a star. Junior A high point of the year for all 8th and 9th grade students is gaining membership into the Jr. Honor Society. Having as its principles Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service, the Jr. Honor Society has within its ranks the future leaders of the school and the community. Executive Committee The G. O. Executive Committee is composed of our principal, five faculty members, and the elected G. O. officers. Organized about sixteen years ago, this committee regulates the increasingly complex financial structure of the G. O. GENERAL ORGANIZATION Council The G. O. Council under the expert leadership of Mr. Henry Chemnitz makes all final decisions on the policies of the General Organization. The G. O. officers, the representatives of G. O. activities, and the G. O. representatives of the six classes composing this committee try to solve the problems connected with running our many school activities. ---—------- THE ( LASS OF 53 Presents It’s Senior ARIETY HOW rrrpurl Higli School Auditor Thursdav, Feltrutirv 26lh Siiloriliiv.

This year under the supervision of Mr. Stanley Vincent the six exciting issues were filled with school news, features, stories, and more pictures than ever before. News Service Staff When passing 104 Monday afternoons, students can see News Service Staff members writing scoops and typing news releases. The staff members with the able assistance of Mrs. Margaret Beck keep local papers supplied with F. H. S. news. 78 Intraclass Red Cross Council This group of charitable, hardworking Red Cross representatives supervise the filling of Christmas boxes for the children overseas and Christmas stockings for the veterans at Northport Hospital. Their capable advisors are Miss Lilah Cushman and Miss Florence Clark. Library Club These helpful, smiFing girls under the watchful eye of Miss Olive Swan assist all •knowledge-seekers including students and teachers. They keep the library in order and aid in its arrangement. 79 P. A. Announcers A fine start to every day is the cheerful Good Morning greeting given to F. H. S. by members of this reliable troupe. With the advice of Mr. Henry Burnett, the announcers keep the students and the teachers informed of meetings and events around the school. Courtesy Committee This helpful and friendly committee serves as F. H. S.'s welcome to all visitors. This year the number of guides was increased to five students each period by the faculty advisor, Miss Maud Constable. This reorganization increases the efficiency of guiding strangers throughout the Jr.-Sr. High Scool. Senior Homeroom Managers These energetic representatives from senior high homerooms are the wheels of the G. O. wagon which help to keep this organization rolling. Their efficiency is best displayed in the distribution of FlasHingS , Voy-ageur , and the collection of money for G. O. tickets. 80 Dance Committee Hunting for new dance themes and creating catchy rhymes keep these enthusiastic, hardworking members of the Dance Committee striving toward their goal of presenting bigger and better F. H. S. dances. They are supervised by Miss Vivian Bird. Science Club Under the guidance of Mr. Paul Jordan this group of F. H. S.'s budding scientists meets weekly to discuss the latest scientific developments. Often movies, experiments, and demonstrations concerning every field of science are shown. Junior Homeroom Managers These diligent 7th, 8th and 9th graders work to promote G. O. sales in their homerooms. They do a creditable job of keeping Junior High students well informed by distributing all issues of FlasHingS . 81 Business Publications Staff This indispensable troupe of ace ad-hunters tramp the streets of Freeport scouting for ads to support FlasHingS and Voya-geur . Under the direction of the business advisor, Mr. Robert Smith, they waged a successful campaign to keep these publications out of the red. Senior Future Homemakers of America These girls serve as hostesses at Board of Education teas, school cake sales, and faculty teas. Mrs. Alma Rowley trains these girls for their careers as future homemakers. Senior Assembly Committee This creative, sedulous group arranges schedules for all Sr. High Assemblies. Under the direction of Miss Jane Groden and Miss Claudia Buckovich, they have succeeded in bringing to F. H. S. many top-notch assemblies. Programs this year included Herman Stenzler's Band, the Colgate 13 , and the very inspiring annual Inter-Faith Clergy Assembly. 82 Junior Orchestra This organization of young, aspiring musicians are working diligently toward their goal of forming a senior orchestra in F. H. S. Under the guiding baton of Dr. J. Maynard Wettlaufer they performed for the first time at one of the Sunday Afternoon Concerts. Junior Future Homemakers of America This cheery, helpful group of domestically talented girls collects canned goods for needy families, designs ceramic pins and table decorations at Christmas and makes Friends around the world through the medium of pen pals. They are advised by Miss Betty May Greening. Junior Assembly Committee This group of Junior High students aided by the indispensable advice of Mrs. Rosamond Javorsky plan and present all junior high assemblies. The result is always the best in educational entertainment. 83 On a cold, brisk December morning an air of expectancy hovers over the high school auditorium. As the rear doors slowly open, many feminine voices can be heard in the distance singing O Come, Emanuel . After this impressive introduction, girls in chorus gowns holding lighted candles proceed down the middle aisle two by two singing in beautiful harmony Adeste Fi-delis . This traditional Christmas processional is a highlight of the school year not to be forgotten by either the student body or the chorus. This outstanding F. H. S. musical organization also performs at the First Sunday Afternoon Concert and is featured at the Spring Concert where the entire group of approximately 105 voices bedeck the F. H. S. stage with a gorgeous array of pastel formals. Although many rehearsal hours are required for these performances, they are forgotten when the finished production is the overwhelming blend of six-part music which is sung by the talented group of Sr. High girls. The credit for the splendid job of organizing and training this group is given to Miss Miriam Roberts. 84 NINTH GRADE GIRLS' CHORUS This enthusiastic group is a main junior high school attraction. Under the leadership of Miss Miriam Roberts this very talented girls' chorus performs at the First Sunday Afternoon Concert and the Spring Concert. This chorus prepares the girls for three very successful years in the Senior Girls' Chorus. MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus, a fine group of hardworking musicians, deserves much credit for their performances at the various concerts and other school events throughout the year. The melodic four-part harmony of the boys and girls under the direction of Miss Miriam Roberts is ample reward for their many hours of rehearsals. 85 CHEERLEADERS left to right: front row: Martha Lonergan, Gail Cleary, Janet Southard, Mary Lou Dufty, Jane Hopkins, Laura Cannon.

From the first autumn football game until June graduation, the band has kept busy with its many activities. Looking back over this year, many of us remember the twirlers' polka, the two Jima pageant, the slightly damp Baldwin game, and our performance at the Polo Grounds. Our band received recognition by being invited to the Orange Bowl Game and the world premiere of Stars and Stripes Forever and by having a feature story appear in the Sunday News. Our concerts, opened by the Theme , leave us with many fine memories. We can still recall the beautiful melody of Thendara and the never-to-be-forgotten Spring Concert finale, I Like It Here . The year would not have been complete without the band's performances at the Babylon Tulip Festival, Jones Beach, and the Mirror Air Show. The Band Mothers' Club helped make our year a success with their fine awards dinner. This club was also responsible for the band's summer uniform. Finally, the recessional march at Commencement brought our year to the perfect close. We realize the band could not have done without the helpful services of Mrs. Grace Frank-el. Miss Lucille Jackson, and Mr. Louis Totans. But above all, we, the class of '53, wish sincerely to thank Prof for making our years in the band an unforgettable experience. He has cultivated in us a true appreciation and interest in music. With regret we say good-by, but with us remain the wonderful memories of our years spent in the Freeport High School Band. Junior Band This year the Junior Band culminated its year's activities by participating in the Memorial Day parade. After long hours of diligent practice these hard-working musicians hope to be worthy someday of becoming Senior Band members. Their ultimate goal is the F. H. S. major letter F which is awarded to all four year band members. 88 IT ROT TING GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Left to Right: Geraldine Maher President Evelyn Hammerl Vice President Rosalind Scopinich Secretary Mary Dodd Treasurer Frances Thomas G. O. Representative Miss Dorothy Clark Faculty Adviser Freeport High School is one of fifteen schools on Long Island that compose the Long Island Girls' Association.

This season our bruisers, led by Jack Raynor and ably coached by Bill Ashley and line coach Vincent Zuaro, had to be satisfied with a fairly successful record of three wins, four losses, and one tie. Yet, the won and lost record of our team does not show the stamina, the fight, and the spirit that the squad displayed throughout the entire season hampered as they were by numerous injuries and a seemingly unending series of bad breaks. The climax of the season was our strong stand against the highly publicized and superior Mepham squad. Although the game finished in Mepham's favor, the 19-7 score proved to be a decisive moral victory for Freeport. Many teams come and go, but the drive and determination displayed by the '52 squad will long be remembered in Freeport High School. J. V. AND FRESHMAN FOOTBALL To become a football player worthy of a berth on Freeport's Varsity squad, it takes not days, not weeks, but two to three years of grueling practice that quickly separates the men from the boys. Contrary to common belief, football is a game which requires not only brawn but also fight and determination, the same fight and determination necessary for molding successful character and personality so useful in the future. This year's J. V. squad, led by Mr. George Moser and Mr. Victor Kirsch, started slowly but finished up the season in good form with a record of three wins and five losses. The freshmen, coached by Joe Devlin and Clarence Hoener, had better luck winning four out of seven encounters. Keep working, boys, and in the near future you'll hear the stands cheer your name as you proudly march down the field for F. H. S. A 95 VARSITY BASKETBALL As the '53 alumni of Freeport High look back on their senior year, thoughts of the basketball team and its thrilling games will be some of the freshest in their minds. Memories of Cantilli's driving layups, Raynor's spring-like jumps, Okun's sparkling plays, and Childres' deadly one-handers will remind us of the wonderful nights spent cheering our team onward. This year's squad, suffering from the loss of Coach Harry Erhart through illness, did their best under Coach Russ Terry and emerged with a record of 2 wins out of 1 2 tries. The team climaxed their season by beating Baldwin and spoiling Baldwin's chances for the championship. Here's a host of congratulations to a team whose spirit didn't fade when the chips were down! 96 J. V. AND FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The '53 J. V. basketball team, coached for the first time by John Augustine, showed a continuous fighting spirit that will tend to insure us of a winning varsity team next season. Even with a record of 4 wins and 12 losses, the team's spirit was not dampened, and they went on to send their star, George Emma, to finish the season with the varsity squad. In the Cleveland Avenue gym where our basketball teams of tomorrow get their start, our freshman squads develop their plays aqd their skills to be used in the coming years. This year the Freshman squad, under the supervision of Mr. Joe Schneller, finished with a record of six wins and eight losses in thirteen games and displayed a great deal of ability which guarantees us a successful future for basketball in F. H. S. 97 BASEBALL Freeport's 1952 baseball team, coached for the first time by Win Tuthill and suffering from a lack of experienced boys, did its best under the circumstances and completed the season with a three won — eighteen lost record. Co-cap-tained by hard-hitting Phil Roberts and the brilliant fielder, George Kandiloros, the squad reached its climax when it trounced the supposedly unbeatable Baldwin team. Since this year was definitely a building year, the '53 squad coupled with the graduates from the joint J. V.-Frosh squad should have the training and ability to make a strong bid for the championship. 98 CROSS COUNTRY In no other sport but cross country is such a high degree of determination and will power needed. There is some unique quality in these boys that makes them keep going when every nerve and muscle in their body says its time to stop. Led by coach Red Miller and captain Bill Hillebrecht, the '52 squad, in the face of stiff competition and inopportune injuries, emerged with a fine record of two wins and five losses. The climax of the season was the team's finishing seventh out of twenty-three competing schools and ahead of Mepham in the Long Island Sectionals. Another creditable feature was captain Hillebrecht's entering in the state finals in which he finished forty-fifth out of a field of ninety competitors. Congratulations, boys! We're all looking forward to an even more successful season this year. ■ TRACK AND FIELD In order to make any advancement in Track a boy must be in constant training and in the peak of condition at all times and must display more individual ability and effort than in any other high school sport. The '52 squad coached by Mr. Randal Powell and Mr. John Augustine and captained by Ray Clements, completed the season with a fine record of three wins and five losses. A number of our boys were invited to the Nassau County Finals and finished in fine form. We would like to congratulate these boys and the other members of the squad for their fine fighting spirit. From the accomplishments and experiences they gained, a successful '53 season is insured. rr 99 RIFLE Echoing through the corridors of the Caroline G. Atkinson School on Seaman Avenue, the shots of our hard-working rifle team may be heard every afternoon. This year, the Freeport High sharpshooters, under the leadership of Mr. Walter Joy and co-captains Bob Boothby and Pete Cattano, had a good season despite the lack of experienced firers. Finishing with a record of 4 wins and 9 losses, this year was primarily devoted to building a rifle team insured of a championship bid next year. 100 LACROSSE Lacrosse is rapidly gaining popularity in both Freeport and in many of the other high schools on Long Island. Accordingly, coach Bill Ashley and his men have gained the needed experience and completed their 1952 season with an excellent record of eight wins and three losses which placed them second in their competition. The climax of each lacrosse season is the all-star game at Jones Beach. This year, four of our men were invited: Captain Hank Band-hold, Gary Boyle, Rolf Larsen, and Jack Raynor. Another outstanding feature of this season was the J. V. squad's remarkable undefeated record BOWLING Although not an outstanding spectator sport mostly because of the lack of space and facilities, bowling holds many thrills and exciting moments for the participants. Coached by Mr. Randal Powell and led by captain Dick Morrell, our boys kept up their continuous fighting spirit and enjoyed a fairly successful season, aided at times by remarkable games rolled by their stars, Hank Uman and John Ehret. The J. V. squad also showed many fine possibilities, and we're looking forward to an excellent '54 season.

We proudly now confess gratefully bringing Love for old F. H. S. in joyous singing. CHORUS Hear now our joyous cry loyally circling high— Freeport forever! Freeport forever! Our love and loyalty nothing can sever. Dear Alma Mater, honored forever. Leaving in future days thy halls of learning, To thee returning a gladsome song we'll raise. CLASS SONG Auf Weidersein, Auf Weidersein We're leaving Freeport High, Our memories true, will guide us thru And keep us 'till we die. Our Freshman year was bright and gay, We got our first G. O. As sophs we danced to bop all day That was the fad you know. Our Junior Prom glittered like stars A picture of society, But these past years can ne'er compare With 1953. So the class of 1953 Bids you Auf Wiedersein, We II cherish all the joys we've had And hope we'll meet again. 11 EXCHANGE CLUB DF FREEPORT — ROSTER OF MEMBERS — January 1, 1953 Name Classification Names Classification Abbot.

BRADBURY COMPANY Yearbook Division 222 East 46th Street New York 17, New York YOU MIGHT CALL THEM THE YEARBOOK COLOR GUARD .... Without waving any flags, the group listed below performed a patriotic 'huckster' act by scouring the town for extra yearbook ads. The additional revenue from these ads provided the necessary funds for the color work in this book. They garnered a cool S500— but probably more important than the money returned or the color added is the determined spirit and enthusiasm which these students displayed in attaining their goal—a more colorful yearbook. This spirit of DO-rather-than DIE is to be highly commended. DOLORES WURTZEL NEIL McLELLAN GERRI MAHER JEAN LAINO EMIL LUCEK ROSEMARY JOYCE JOAN WERDANN EVELYN CERKO LEA GIBLYN JOSEPH GANGEMI 132
