CONSTABLE m 'f BOARD OF EDUCATION MR. LEO F. GIBLYN President WE REMEMBER With affection the interest which the Board of Education has taken in our activities: their attendance at athletic events, their support of the work of the General Organization, their service as judges of speaking contests, and as patrons at school dances, their promotion of bond activities, their pride in the high scholastic standing of our school, their friendly hello and well done to each of us. On the Freeport Board of Education are men of vision and devotion who give their time and talents in service to youth. The Voyageur Staff CL MR. CLIFTON B. SMITH ■Vice-President MR. HAROLD PEARSON DR. E. F. MILLER MR. HUGH ERWIN 8 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS DR. JOHN W. DODD Greetings to the Class of 1955: Once again it is hail and farewell! For six short years we have been together. And yet, how enduring will be the marks that Freeport High School has left upon you. You ore about to become Alumni with all the justly earned rights and privileges of graduates of a great high school. These rights and privilges include, of course, the privilege of remembrance: of the insights which have come to you in class, in books, in extracurricular activities, in social functions, in meeting each other in the corridors. Thus, you will be able to recreate for tomorrow, and tomorrow, the scenes which will forever cast a spell over that important segment of living which outsiders usually call “preparation for life. John Masefield once wrote, The days that make us happy make us wise. I hope each one of you has found some measure of happiness and wisdom at Freeport High School. I hope each one of you— as you remember—will carry in your heart an enduring affection for your school, and in your mind the best we hove been able to teach you, by precept and example. We have enjoyed your good humor, benefited from your energy and vitality, admired your high spirits and driving ambition. We hope that to these we have added experience, factual foundations and improved insight, and that we have given you faith in the future and in your own individual worth. Even the best is none too good, if you are to meet—as Freeport High expects her graduates to meet—the challenges and responsibilities of your generation. Best wishes for success to each member of the Class of 1955 in every endeavor. Cordially yours, JOHN W. DODD Superintendent of Schools PRINCIPAL SOUTHARD CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1955 As I reminisce and recall your accomplishments and records, I feel a great pride in the present generation of young people. This pride stems from your many and varied achievements: an outstanding academic record, the formation of lasting friendships, and the growth in fame and popularity among your classmates. The reward for success that is yours comes not only from your record, but also from that intangible something which is developed in you and which makes for versatile character and good citizenship. The Voyageur presents a word and picture story of the interesting work of your class, your clubs, your athletics, your many and varied organizations. For everyone in the Freeport Junior-Senior High School there is a fond memory and warm appeal in the remembrance of high school life which these pages tell and recall—the memory of six years of school life. Soon you will be starting out in a world where you can be confident that there will be an opening for willing and competent hands and heads, and where life, with all its ups and downs, setbacks and frustrations, is going to be a rewarding adventure and experience. As you take your places in the procession of youth, may you avow that in searching for the treasures of happiness you will make use of the glorious opportunities available to you. In your tomorrow, as Americans, may you each be one of a people with faith in each other, a faith in our country, and a faith in God. Good luck, and God bless each member of the Class of 1955. J. WESLEY SOUTHARD, Principal Freeport Junior-Senior High School 10 MR. C. OVERTON TREMPER Ass't Principal and Coun selor for senior high school boys ADMINISTRATION AND GUIDANCE MR. JOHN HESSE Ass't Principal and 7th and 8th Grade Guidance Counselor Bewildered and confused, but excited students from the seventh through the twelfth grades flocked to the Guidance Department offices in the early days of September. They came because they realized that here their problems would be handled by people who were experienced in solving them. Miss Davis and Mr. Hesse attended to the needs of the junior high students, while Miss Didas and Mr. Tremper untiringly and efficiently cared for the members of the senior high school. The Guidance Department helped all sophomores to determine their future careers on the basis of aptitude tests and personal parent-counselor interviews. We recall with gratitude how carefully and thoughtfully these advisors treated each situation As the holidays drew near, juniors and seniors approached the now familiar door and received advice, this time on where and how to secure a part-time job. Often the positions the counselors suggested were in the field in which the student would eventually make his career. When spring rolled around, the office was crowded with seniors eager for advice on which college they should attend, which business schools offered the most satisfactory courses, or what jobs would be open to high school graduates. The counselors informed the seniors of possible scholarships and helped students to secure them. Uppermost in our minds when we reminisce on our high school days here at Freeport is the wonderful encouragement we received from our Guidance Directors.

Morning and afternoon these Public Address Announcers relinquished their homeroom periods to keep us well informed of the day's events. Extra recognition should be given for such efforts beyond the call of duty as singing songs, telling stories, reading original sonnets, and occasionally even playing a musical instrument. Under Mr. Henry Burnett's direction the P.A. staff has been an invaluable part of F.H.S. Left to Right, Row I: Miss M. Buckwalter, A. Compbell, D. Engle, G. O. Rep. C. Campbell, Vice-Pres. A.

DEWEY'S DISCIPLES During the year we often found our way to the Library. Whether we were obtaining information for an English theme or just doing some informal reading, we appreciated the pleasant atmosphere and the efficiency of the Library Club. Miss Mabel Buckwalter, our librarian, directed these boys and girls well in the techniques of library work. 30 SORRY, WRONG STAIRWAY Double time was barred, pushing illegal, drinking at water fountains between classes prohibited, and shouting eliminated in the halls of Grove Street. Why? Because the red-badged members of the 7th and 8th grade Courtesy Corps, working under the direction of Miss Esther Brown, were well-trained to maintain order. These efficient and watchful students deserve special recognition for keeping our school orderly and safe. c Left to Right, Row I: K. Schwartz, D. Jackson. Miss E. Brown. Row 2: P. Kucin, P.

In the fall we sow posters and poems and heord songs and pep talks all promoting the sale of G.O. s. These activities were sponsored entirely by the Homeroom Managers.

Faculty Advisor, describe our student government with the Council acting as the legislature and the Executive Board controlling our G.O. funds.

ENTERTAINMENT PLUS Once a week we entered the auditorium and sat awaiting the Bible reading, the Lord's Prayer, the flag salute, and the singing of our National Anthem which traditionally opened each cssembly. Miss Claudia Buckovich and Mrs. Rosamond Javorsky were the faculty advisors for the Senior Assembly Committee and the Junior Assembly Committee respectively. Both of these groups helped choose the people who would perform for us during the coming year and introduced fhe performers to us. Awards were earned on a point basis and were presented to the members at our awards assembly in the spring. SENIOR ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE Left to Right, Row I: Sec. V. Carswell, Vice-Pres. C. Asch, G.O.

GUIDING LIGHTS It would be impossible to forget the smiling foces of the Senior Ushers as they courteously directed us to our seats before the assemblies. Assisted by Miss Maud Constable and Miss Doris Nickerson, these sophomore girls collected tickets, handed out programs, and ushered guests to reserved seats at such school functions as the Spring Concert and the Sunday afternoon Music Hours. UP THE LADDER OF SUCCESS At last, the breathless moment came when the four candles, representing Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service were lighted. We remember the glowing faces of the small group on the stage as they received their gold pins, symbols of personal achievment and national recognition. The Junior Honor Society, assisted by Miss Alice Davis, sponsored many benefits and gave their profits to charity. The success of every enterprise they attempted proved that these eighth and ninth graders certainly were exceptional students. Left to Right, Row I: S. Malarick, M. Jarvis. B. La-Chicotte, M.

Once a week these future Einsteins listened to lectures by Mr. Paul Jordan, their advisor, and afterwards had a question-answer period. The Science Club supplied the students with an opportunity to put this knowledge to practical work. Their annual outing made it possible for them to gain useful information in an enjoyable manner.

THE SLIDE RULE CLUB CHECK MATE When the intellectuals of F.H.S. gathered at noon in the Apartment, we knew that the Chess Club, coached by Mr. Foster Hoff, was once again preparing to add to Freeport's laurels. Last year they were the Island champions, but they had a difficult task maintaining their lead in 1955. Nevertheless, these boys became well-known for their ability to concoct jokes while astutely planning chess maneuvers. Left to Right, Row I: R. Rohm. J. Nesbitt, Pres. M. Intriligotor, R. Eisman W.

With the guidance of Mr. William Bowne these boys and girls developed their artistic ability, at the same time adding to the gaiety of their classrooms. This new club has really shown outstanding promise, and we hope that these 7th graders will soon make our high school halls brighter. Let fo Right, Row I: E. Feinsilber, M. Ford, H. Seibert, E. C.

LOVE ALL In the spring and fall we found Mr. Russell Terry, loaded down with tennis roquets and balls, coaching the members of his Tennis Club. Neither the hike to the courts on Merrick Road nor extensive hunts for the poorly aimed tennis balls hindered the popularity of this activity. It was the fond dream of each of these outdoor-minded students to one day be a contender for the Davis Cup. Loft to Right, Row I: P. Millang, R. Ringelheim. E. Segal, B. Holub, C. Raynor, L. DuBois.

Remember the excitement in the halls and the huddles of students on the Fridays when copies of FlasHingS were distributed? From gossip to editorials, the papers were read with enthusiasm and chuckles. Featured were Introducing sketches, Franklin Lerner's jazz column, and Joel DiPaola's sport capsules, all under the capable hands of Editor Barbara Stewart and Faculty Advisor Stanley Vincent. The assiduous work of both the FasHingS Editorial Staff and Business Publication Staff, who tramped for hours to get ads for Voyageur and FlasHingS,and the contributions of the aspiring Jr. High Press Club made our newspaper respected in other schools as well as in our own. The News Service Staff also contributed to our publication efforts by keeping our local papers informed on current F.H.S. news. 38 BUSINESS PUBLICATIONS Left to Right, Row I: D. Appieboum, R. Ratner.

LET'S HAVE A BALL Posters in the halls! A jam session over the P.A.! Nothing was beyond the ability of these ingenious members of the Dance Committee. Advised by Miss Vivian Bird, they composed original sonnets to advertise our dances, transformed the gym into underwater caves or star-studded heavens, and imported heavenly music for our G.O. dances.

Ably instructed n the fine arts of homemaking by Mrs. Alma Rowley, they prepared food for faculty teas, provided us with cookies and punch on Visitors Night, and gave us hints on how to prepare a real gooey pizza.

THE GOURMET GALS Domestic-minded seventh, eighth, and ninth graders enjoyed singing, organizing projects, discussing their social problems, and learning the basic principles of the culinary arts. Always eager to make new acauaint-ances, these girls kept in close contact with other homemaker organizations, thus promoting friendship and mutual respect among Island schools. These Junior Future Homemakers of America were under the guidance of Miss Salvatrice Cottone. i oIRLS CHORUS Left to Right Row I: A. Varono. L. Rigoulot. D. Roberts, C. Morro. T. Schneider. B.

As we turned we saw robed girls carrying candles walking slowly down the center aisle. Never shall we forget the first time we watched that solemn procession and listened to the Girls' Chorus as they filled the air with song. Miss Miriam Roberts directed not only the Girls' Chorus, but also the Mixed Chorus and 9th Grade Chorus for the annual Spring Concert and for Commencement. The high quality of F.H.S.'s music is known Island-wide and is a tradition among us. 42 NINTH GRADE CHORUS Left to Right, Row I: B. Grabou, E. Slovak, R. Meyers, L. McDougall, M. Goldman, C.

That familiar We Want a Touchdown was played with such spirit that we just had to yell our hearts out. But football season is only part of the Band's schedule. Remember the Charlotte Harbor Stomp and the other martial tunes as we filed into the auditorium for assemblies. Our band played in New York at the premier of There's No Business Like Show Business and marched proudly in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Practices were grueling and long, but the time was well spent, judging by the superb performances given at Sunday afternoon concerts, the Spring Concert, and Graduation. We really meant that applause for the band at the Awards Assembly when band members received special recognition. (Kimniutscuooi Left to Right, Row I: D. Joworowski, C. Phillips, P. Munkelt, B.

FUTURE PHI BETA KAPPA' I pledge myself to uphold the high purposes of this society to which I hove been elected, striving in every way by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school. We watched with admiration while those students who had maintained high standards of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service during their high school years repeated the pledge which made them members of the National Senior Honor Society. Induction into this society was the highest honor that Freeport could bestow upon a student. The members of the Honor Society, with the help of M:s$ Mary Didas, worked toward their objectives of service to school and community. Trees. R. Avazian, G.O. Rep. C. Phillips. Pres. G. Ringer. Sec.

Gold Key FOLLOW THE LEADER As we think back over our gym days, we recall the efficient and energetic Student Leaders. These girls conducted our gym excercises, gaining self-confidence, poise, and leadership. During the spring, tryouts were conducted for the selection of the student leaders. The names of fhose girls who proved to possess the greatest ability for leadership were announced at the G.A.A. sports banquet. A BIRD'S EYE VIEW The fine showing displayed by the Badminton Honor Team will be remembered by its many participants and by its competent advisor, Mrs. Carole Cohen. This year's team earned the honor of being one of the best teams the school has produced. Ladder tournaments were started and used as the basis for selecting the final team. Denise Jaworowski led the team to victory at the Honor Team Play Day held at Lynbrook. Let to Right, Standing: Capt. D. Jaworowski, E. Soule, G. Appel. Sitting: J. Jaworowski, J. Southard.

TROJAN WOMEN We'll always remember the Hockey Team, trudging along to the Raynor Street Field. This year seventy-five girls signed up for this fall sport. Class teams were chosen and used as the basis for selecting the honor team. The sophomore class, emerging victorious from the Baldwin and Malverne games, proved to be the winning class team. F.H.S. placed third in the Honor Team Play Day at East Rockaway. STRIKE THEM DOWN The pin boys at the Modern Bowling Alleys surely had a trying time replacing all the knocked-down pins as our Freeport Bowling Team went through an undefeated season. Each girl in the team looked forward to Wednesday afternoons when they would once again work to improve their bowling skill. Although there were only fourteen practice days, the girls showed unusual skill and ability. This year the Honor Team placed third in the Play Day. Left to Right. Row I: J. DeMov, C. Niles. J. Engel.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the girls could be found in the gym, improving their basketball form and technique. During the season, the four class teams opposed one another to produce the winning team, the Senior Class. Freeport High traveled to and played host to several other schools. Among the schools we played were Oceanside, Baldwin, Lynbrook and Mepham. The Honor Team Play Day, in which F.H.S. placed fourth, was held at Lynbrook. SERVICE WITH A SMILE The familiar call, Are the tables set up? , recalls to us the short but most enjoyable Table Tennis season. The doubles tournament, with which the season commenced, was followed by the singles tournament. The singles ladder tournament, skillfully arranged by Miss Dorothy Clark, became the basis for selecting the honor team. This year the team traveled to Woodmere High School where the big-five placed third in the Honor Team Play Day. Left to Right: E. Segal, L. DuBois. G. Appel, M. L. Dufty, J. Yarrow.

UP, UP, AND OVER The usual large group crowded the gym when once again our Volleyball season commenced. During the early part of the season the girls practiced improving their skills. Emerging victorious from the class teams was the senior class. Mrs. Carole Cohen, advisor of the group sport, selected from among the class teams the twelve honor team players who showed extra group ability and coordination. The team terminated its season by winning eight of its twelve games. BOWS ARROWS Who can forget the Freeport Robin Hooders and their yeomanly skill. Archery, one of the spring sports, offers much attraction to many of the Freeport girls. On Mondays and Wednesdays the girls were seen shooting their arrows at the Raynor Street Field. The honor team consists of the high scorers of the season. Barbara Albert, the outstanding player, attained the highest average. The team, coached by Mrs. Carole Cohen, displayed fine cooperation and sportsmanship. Lett to Right: B. Albert, V. Vise!, V. Edwards. Left to Right, Row I: a. Smith, A. Ballot, G. Remsen, D.

The Raynor Street Field was the scene of much pitching, hitting, and running. On Mondays and Wednesdays the girls eagerly found their way to the field where the four class teams vied against one another. The short, rainy softball season deprived the girls of many practice days. The teams, however, under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Clark, went through an enjoyable and successful season. 54 P.

Their winning smiles and their boundless energy added zest and enthusiasm to the many thrilling games of each season. The year '55 ushered in many firsts in the cheerleading routine. Laura Cannon, sprightly captain of the squad, led the colorfully clad cheerleaders down Broadway in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Our peppy cheerleaders gained the limelight as they appeared on Ted Steels television program. Much praise and recognition is due Mrs. Carole Cohen for guiding the girls through a very successful season. 57 n j J I Jim Pokenhom Al Olsen Howie Hochmon Bob Ullian Bob DiFazio Cleve Pratt Barry Feldstein FRESHMAN Left to Right, Row I: R.

PASS THE PIGSKIN We cut up confetti, shined our cowbells, and tuned our voices those Soturday mornings so that we could cheer our Football Team, coached by Mr. Bill Ashley, on to victory. Sadly enough, the Red Devils experienced a hard-luck season, but, nevertheless, showed determination throughout their campaign. Some bright spots in our season were victories against Mineolo, the Triple-A champions: Hempstead, and Westbury. We lost the Mepham game by one point, for the second year in a row. The outstanding plays of Jim Pakenham at tackle were recognized by the coaches of Nassau County when he received All-Scholastic honors from Newsday and The Press. We watched the J.V. football learn, led by Mr. Lou Franklin and Mr. Foster Hoff, gradually improve, losing their first two games, tying the next, and winning the last two. The Freshman team, coached by Mr. Joseph Deviin and Mr. Clarence Hoener, deserved our praises for winning their conference title. THE PINMEN STRIKE AGAIN What, another strike? This was a familiar remark heard during the Bowling Team's excellent sport season. The boys held their practice days at Werners Bowl ing Alley and their play days at Heineman's. The pinmen, because of their fine bowling techniques and the able coaching of Mr. Randal Powell, placed third in the South Shore Athletic League. Lett to Right, Row I: J. Ingber. J. Whitney, J.

Three boys especially noted for their speed were George Emma, Dave Cleary, and Dick Winter. In the SSAL Tournament the team placed second, while in the L. I. Section 8, Winter, Emma, and Cleary placed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Winter and Emma travelled to Albany where they placed 12th and 22nd in the state championship meet. LETS MAKE TRACKS Captained by Larry Ruger and Fred Waddlington, our 1954 Track Team tied one, won four, and lost four of its meets. In the Section I meet, Girken placed 3rd in shot put and Waddlington in hurdles; Winter took 4th in the mile and Coons 2nd in quarter-mile and 3rd in broadjump. Coons and Winter placed 4th in mile and 1st in quarter-mile respectively, in the South Shore finals. Much of the team's success must be attributed to Coach Randal Powell's fine efforts.

The Leaders Corps was inaugurated in F.H.S. in order to aid the teachers in handling the numerous gym classes. The boys on the squad have done their part efficiently by officiating at games, demonstrating on apparatus, and maintaining order within the gym. To qualify for the Leaders Corps, a boy must know the rules and regulations of all games and must be approved by the gym teachers. Lett to Right, Row I: D. Eastwood, D. Magnus, R. Hirtler, E.

JOE'S BOYS Our Basketball Team retained, in spite of many adversities, the school spirit ond enthusiasm that a team sport requires. Our dribblers placed third in the South Shore Athletic League by winning ten of their eighteen games. Several games of the season stand out as unforgettable ones in the 55 season. Freeport soared to victory in the final second of the Valley Stream match by defeating Valley Stream 73-72. Captain George Emma, Nassau County s leading scorer, totaled a record of fifty-one points in the Lawrence game and whizzed through the season by averaging twenty-nine points a game. Coach Joe Glocken deserves recognition for guiding the team through a ten-win season. JUNIOR VARSITY Left to Right, Row I: J. Roschlce, W. Ness, R. Mo-nuello, R. DiGosso, R. New-some. Coach G.

THE RISING SINKERS The up and coming Junior Varsity Basketball team really deserved recognition for their fine display of team cooperation this year. The team was sparked to victory by the fine defensive plays of Alan Ritter, Bernie Simmons, and Jon Nelson. Bob DiGasso, Russ Manuello, and Joe Urbanski competently formed the backbone of the offensive plays. The Jayvees, with the able assistance of Mr. George Moser, placed first in the league by winning twelve out of their thirteen games. Our Freshman five dribbled through the season to gain second place in the S.S.A.L. The guidance of Coach Lou Franklin and the fine cooperation and teamwork of the boys enabled them to win ten out of their thirteen games. The team surged to victory by beating Oceanside, Seaford, Wantagh, and Lynbrook by great margins. Dick Finley, Ralph Clemen's, Bruce Franklin, and Jerry Jackson added the needed touch to making this year's team a fine one. FRESHMAN Left to Right, Row I: Manager J. Randolph. Manager S.

An outstanding event of the '54 season was George Emma's sensational no-hitter. Our batmen defeated Baldwin, Sewanhaka, Mepham, and Oceanside. Although the team's batting average was not too favorable, the overall spirit of the team inspired by the members of the squad and its coach, Mr. Winston Tuthill, added that extra spark of life. SHARP SHOOTERS The men behind the guns surely remember the Atkinson School and the pleasure they derived from their afternoons with the Rifle Team. The team placed fourth in the league standing and won more than half of their eighteen matches. By attaining the highest score in one match this season, Captain Charles Vogt strengthened the team considerably. Their fine record is a credit to the coaching of Mr. Walter Joy and to the shooting skill of James Flint and Kenny Wood. Left to Right, Row I: P. Thompson, J. Macloury, J. Miranda, L.

The Red Devils, coached by Mr. Bill Ashley, played Garden City, Manhasset, Mineola, and Peek-skill Military Academy, and defeated these schools twice. The stickmen captured second place in league competition by winning eight of their ten games. Paul Sullivan, who attained the position of most valuable player, ended the season with twelve goals and eight assists. Many of our lacrosse players were selected to be players in the All-Star Team. GRUNTING GRAPPLERS The strange sounds issuing from the Field House told us that our Wrestling Team had begun practice. Coach Vince Zuaro led the two-year-old team through a successful season of competition against long-established squads. Placing ninth out of twenty-five schools, they won eight and lost six matches. Sammy Boone came in 2nd in the S.S. Section I and 3rd in the L. I. Championships, with Captain Ed Strecker placing third in S.S. Section I, Don Hanning-ton taking 4th, and Joe Nathan and Bob DiFazio copping 3rd in their respective classes. Left to Right, Row I: S. Thorner. C. Wertz. E. Strecker. S. Boone. R. Winter. Row 2: R.
