Published by the Students of General Douglas MacArthur High School Levittown, New York 1962 ★ ★★ TABLE OF CONTENTS °Cr 24 - NOV 22 SCORPIO LEO jut-. 24 - aug. 23 Foreword Before you now is the Commander, the yearbook of General Douglas MocArthur High School. Its nome signifies leadership, ond this book itself is o leader, for it is the first: the first yearbook of the school from which it came, and very likely the first of its kind. If the Commander 1962 signifies leadership, it is because the Class of '62 personifies it. Our quality and our theme is ... Leadership. From the time we were freshmen in Salk, we were leaders of the school. Looking up to us, the lower classes have borrowed our style of clothing, our sense of humor, even our confident manner. How bravely we cleared o path through that jungle of knowledge so that others could follow! Our class forged ahead in languages, science, mathematics, every subject taught, some stu- dents reaching peaks that our younger friends will find difficult to attain. Building a reputation for the school in athletics was another of our jobs, ond the feats of quite a few of our classmates made lasting impressions on the Salk record. We led the citizenship of our old school in every way: os juniors, sophomores, or fresh- men, we headed clubs of all interests. We ran the news- paper and magozine, presided over the Honor Society, worked in the library, nurse s office, ond bookstore Given the opportunity to lead five closses, we used our abilities to best advantage. The transition from old and familiar to new ond excit- ing — from Jonos E Salk to General Douglas Mac- Arthur — was made witf a minimum of trouble, and with the first seniors toking their rightful place on top. During this last year, we continued in our roles of lead- ership and worked hard at different situations thot arose. Who initiated the battle for senior privileges'5 Who held the first Senior Prom and who performed the first graduation ceremonies'5 We, the Class of '62. As the first graduating class of our school, we hove a more important task: thot of setting the stondord that follow- ing classes and, more vital, colleges will recognize os MacArthur's. The colleges ond universities which we shall ottend are the goals for which the Classes of '63, '64, and '65 must aim. Finally, we give the Commander as a leader of many yearbooks to come The Com- mander. in the name and in design, symbolizes the prime characteristic of the Class of '62 — Leadership. 5 MR. DONALD A. GRANT PRINCIPAL From the classrooms to the football field, Mr. Grant completely supports our school. Students and faculty alike find him willing and eager to ossist them in their endeavors. His devotion to us and our school sparks our interest. He received his Bachelor of Arts at Colgate University and shortly thereafter, his Master of Arts in school ad- ministration at Albany State Teachers College. Later he continued his graduate work at Cornell and Syra- cuse. For nine years he worked as a science teacher and coach, and later, os principal at Richfield Springs High School and Chenango Valley High School. No wonder, he enjoys both the scholastic and athletic events at MocArthur. In 1943, he was granted a leave of absence to join the Navy, and until 1946, he served in the Pacific the- ater of operations. Following the war, he returned to his high school principalship, and in 1958, came to Jonas Salk High School. We have benefited from his able guidance during our three years at Salk, and our senior year ot MacAr- thur. Mr. Grant played an essential part in helping us attain our highest potential in school. As the first prin- cipal of General Douglas MocArthur High School, he may certainly hope for a bright future for the Class of '62. To the students of MocArthur: When I came to Levittown, the present senior class members were ninth graders. To say that I have deve- loped a continuing and intense interest in the destiny of members of the Class of 1962 would be putting it mildly. Your hopes, aspirations, and future activities are as much my concern as though you were my own. Consequently, I shall advise you as I once did my own. Aim high! Play squarely! Play to win! When the going goes rough, think of the sacrifices your parents and others have made for you. Think, also, of the sacri- fices which our founding fathers made in 1776; think of Bunker Hill, Bull Run, the Rough Riders, Chateau- Thierry, Iwo Jima, Anzio, and the Korean heroes. Never make your parents, your friends, or your child- ren ashamed of you. Never let your country down! You face times which overwhelm us with responsibility. Only the kind of American that I know the typical Mac- Arthur student to be can possibly face these responsi- bilities successfully. My faith in you and my prayers go with you! Good Luck! DONALD A. GRANT 4 Although new to our school, Mr. Coveil is not un- familiar to any of us. Vibrant and cheery, his voice reaches everyone through the public address sys- tem each morning. He thus keeps the students and teachers aware of the activities of MacArthur. Since last year, Mr. Covell has worked on plans and pro- grams to make the September opening of the Mac- Arthur building possible. In his first direct contact with the students of MacArthur, he selected the yearbook staff, and, for a while, acted as its ad- viser. Mr. Covell's education has been rich and varied. He studied for his undergraduate degree at Hamil- ton College, and has also attended the University of Buffalo, the University of Mexico, the Univer- sity of Washington, New York University, and Har- vard. From 1945 to 1961, before coming to Mac- Arthur he served as Assistant Professor of English and Assistant Dean of West Point. His greatest interest is education. He believes that education is growth, and that it is the adminis- trator's responsibility to provide the environment and the stimulus for that growth. He is favorably impressed with the students at MacArthur, and in view of the facilities, curriculum, and faculty, pre- dicts great success for its graduates. MR. CRANSTON E. COVELL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Standing by the main staircase with a cheerful word and meaningful glance, Mr. Keating sees to it that we reach our classes on time. As a result, he has become both well known and well liked. A disci- plinarian, he has set many of us on the right path with his philosophy of correcting rather than punish- ing offenders. Though a newcomer to our staff, Mr. Keating is by no means new to District 5. He taught English at Division Avenue High School for four years, and was Chairman of the English Department for two years. Although a native New Yorker, he studied at Uni- versity of Dayton for his Bachelor of Arts Degree. However, he completed his education later at Hofs- tra where he received his Master of Science. He is presently working for his Ph D. at St. John's Univer- sity. He holds a teaching license not only for Eng- lish, but for social studies and Latin as well. A well-rounded person, Mr. Keating has been a good influence on the students of MacArthur. He knows that the members of the Class of '62 will es- tablish traditions of good citizenship, which will make their parents and teachers proud. MR. RICHARD J. KEATING ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 5 MR. LOUIS BLUMBERG SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Although he just started to work as Superintendent of School District z£5 at the beginning of this term, Mr. Blum- berg's ideals and accomplishments have had great effects on education in Levittown and will continue to do so in the future. Bringing to his job a knowledge of our system's problems and a wealth of plans to combat them, our Superintendent has set forth many innovations and is working cease- lessly towards his goal: better educa- tion for every child in District 3 5 from Kindergarten to twelfth grade. Reaching directly toward the pu- pils of his schools, our superintendent desires an improvement in written Eng- lish in every grade, elementary through high school, and hos implemented some procedures to achieve his goal. A truly significant achievement of his is the establishment of the Senior Star Program: a series of lectures for more advanced students. Thus we see Mr Blumberg has given us and our under- dossmates a better public education. Board of Education SEATED: Eli Mellon. Robert S Hojhmo, Pres. Robert J Kissel. V P , Solvotore Gong.

Master of Musk Chris Schenkel hands bowl- ing trophy to Mr Leary on Varsity Dinner On June 7, 1961, � he first annual Varsity Dinner took place in the Jonas E. Salk gymnasium. Four hundred people attended the dinner honoring all varsity award winners. Physical Education head Robert LoPolla was the master of ceremonies and Chris Schenkel of CBS was the guest speaker. A trophy was presented to Mr. Russel Leary, varsity bowling coach, on be- half of the North Shore Athletic League. Afterwards Mr. Schenkel presented an award to Roger Ng for his success in the North Shore Wrestling League. Among the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Athlete of the Year Award to Don Robertson. Don was given the award on the basis of his fine playing on the football and lacrosse teams. It was truly a night which brought back memories of thrilling play on the courts and fields of behalf of the NSAl. Salk. This is the 1961 Varsity Dinner. Trophies were given out later in the evening Baseball Playing in the North Shore Athletic League (although it did not play an all- league schedule1, The Salk Varsity Baseball team compiled a final win-loss record of 9-4. The team, coached by Mr. Robert LaPolla, combined a good defensive in- field of Ray Kane of first base. Bob Robertson at second base, Don Monti at shortstop and Artie Kurtz at third base, with a lineup of heavy hitters in- cluding Monti, Dennis Gobbi, Mike Lynch, and Joe Mandelion. On the mound for the Cavaliers were sophomore Ricky Schwartz, Gobbi, and Kane. Matt Doyle proved to be a durable receiver and a good hand- ler of the pitchers. Rounding out the team were outfielders Danny Quinlan, John Wright, and Phil Kaminsky. The team was victorious against Eastern Military Academy, Island Trees, Levittown Memorial, Clarke, and Locust Valley. On first base, Roy Kane receives peg. putting Memorial man out.

The stickmen ended with a mere 3-11 record, but their opponents included such perennial powers as Mineola, and Garden City. The team was sparked by a tight defense which in- cluded Don Robertson in the goal, and Tom Whitaker, Richie Romano, and the Travis boys — Ron and Tom — in defensive roles. The attack proved to be adequate with Chris Tole, and Dick Belsito doing most of the scoring. Those who watched the team for its four years of play will remember Dick Belsito's last minute goal against Bethpage, the exciting overtime game with Manhasset, and the time Tom Whitaker was thrown out of the game for fighting But most of all we'll re- member Cooch Schmidt walking up and down the field shouting his witty sayings to the opponent, his boys and anyone else who would listen.

Crowded into Salk's Little Theater, everyone signed his name on one of the many pieces of paper for extracurri- cular activity that floated around the room. The year- book was the title on one of these papers; prospec- tive staff members knew where to sign their John Hancock. In May. the selected staff was divided between two yearbook conferences, one in Huntington, and the other at the Sagamore Room in Roosevelt Field. Edi- tors were finally chosen and work was begun. The staff will recall the problems of meeting those deadlines, choosing pictures, and writing copy. But the effort was well worth the reward. We, the staff of the first Commander, wish succeeding yearbook staffs good luck and success in their work. Every free moment, any day. this was the scene in th Publication Office.

To those who watched the Cavalier Varsity Track team in action, the 1961 season was one of team disappointment, but of individual excel- lence. It was a year that saw Juniors Bob Suther, Howie Leath, and Charlie Bongiorno pile up the points in the 220 and 100. Jeff Levine's 5:04 in the mile and John Sierra's success in the half mile were other highlights of the team. Tom Whitaker and Nick Heinrich, Lacrosse men by trade, came over to the cinderpath continually, to run for the team. Then there were the fieldmen — Al Weiler and Sierra on the high jump, John Kohlman vaulting to 9' 6 and Paul Wagner hop, skip, and jump- ing to a school record. But if these individual performances were the fuel for success, then Coach Pecora's patience was the spark. It was individual raw material to- gether with Mr. Pecora's advice that brought good inter-scholastic records to the team. Track and Field Cooch Pecoro checks statistics of meet with Long Beoch.

Faculty Benefit Game During our four years at Salk and MocArthur, we have had many opportunities to see athletic competition of students,- but the times we saw our faculty perform were few. On May 20, 1961, however, twenty- five of our teachers braved the perils of physical contact to play for the Thomas Guarino benefit basketball game. The night was highlighted by two games: First, the men faculty with boxing gloves, and their female colleagues, in the second, the men teachers dominated the courts. The pushing and screaming by our tame faculty was enjoyed by all. All who attended the game contributed to a good cause. Mr. Guarino, a former art chairman was loved by everyone. We were all shocked by his sudden death. Watch ut behind you! Mr Orlan |ini tries to drive u pass to Ar. Jehelko.

Life's never gloomy or droopy or drab. This crab stings with talent, with drama enthralls; His people bow often to life's curtain calls. The light, dainty poppy is known as their fllower. And Monday is their day, whatever the hour. The moon is their planet, full, half, or lean. And anything's lucky as long as it's green. • The months that are second and ninth of the year Hold promise for Cancer of days of good cheer. Two is the number that leads to success.

Remember, too, their performance at the Spring Concert? Their repertoire seem- ingly endless, they sang and sang to the thorough enjoyment of all.

Ideas such as this one and many others have been formulated in that room near the cafeteria, the publications cubbyhole of our school. But last year the name of our paper wasn't The Sentry, nor was its home that spacious room 206. The Salk Sentinel, born under the direction of Mr. Finucane and editor-in-chief Jane Lynch, in 1957, won first place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition.

Remem- ber that crazy Masquerade Party in which Mr. Lamb came dressed up as a little boy, Mr. O'Brien as a sailor, and Mr. Mercurio os a genuine teen-ager, doing the twist and all? And then the Juniors flew from picnics to mystery bus trips, from ice skating parties to car washes, from junior-faculty basketball and volleyball games to cake sales. On December 21, black and blue were the pre- dominant colors, for the Junior Class members went ice skating. But apparently they dislike hard water , for the next activity they chose was swimming. Our Juniors ended their wonderful year in an array of colors: the young men in their choices of black, red, blue, plaid or white tuxedoes, and the girls in blue, pink, and green pastel, fluffy dresses for that wonderful night of their prom.

This year, the fclub sponsored a panel discussion on mental health with a psychiatrist, o psychologist and the school doctor.

We have few traditions, but the num- ber is growing fast. The handbook explains our traditions, our courses and our activities, which have made MacArthur more than just a build- ing. Thus Miss Hodel and her staff may be proud of a project to help our students become better school citizens. 1st ROW I to r: D. Bulson; Ed in Chief, 1. Steinberg. P Green 2nd ROW H. Harlowe. D.

La Plume the Literary Magazine La Plume is French for the pen, and the pens in the hands of our school's creative writers have not been idle during the past four years. The contributing editors, under the direc- tion of Miss Hodel, have written count- less stories and poems — some gay, some melancholic, and some off beat. La Plume evolved from a mimeo- graphed, disjointed sheet of stories to the big thirty-two page issue we have now. The frustration of making mistakes in typing copy and the exciting race to make the deadlines have added to the tangy flavor of working on a maga- zine. 1st ROW | to f: Ass't Ed A.

With the curtain about to announce the finale of our high school years, we hold still within our memories the varied events of the play Lingering with members of the Dramatics Club is the first thrill of playing a part before an audience, of smearing their faces with grease paint, of the horrible heart-thumping when a line was missed. Time Out for Ginger, Fair Exchange, our senior year's Emergency Husband, — all are shows our actors have played, changing their personalities for but a brief time. But, — all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They all have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts. FIRST ROW left to right: S.

Honor Society Under the guidance of Mrs. Fleckenstein, a solid foundation was laid for an organization attempting to live up to some of the most noteworthy goals to be found in any school activity. The first National Junior Honor Society at Jonas Salk High School was estab- lished in April 1958. Pledged to uphold high standards of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, its members knew that the following year would find them in a new school — MacArthur High. To be elected to the society, a student must have a minimum average of 85% for three preceding quarters with no unsatisfactory attitude ratings. He must enter three recommendations of teachers, submit his record of school or local activities, and write an autobiographical sketch. In order to carry on the Society's fine traditions, in- cluding its various services such as free tutoring, serv- ing as guides at various functions, etc., a committee un- der that year's supervisor, Mr. Strszewski, had the fore- sight to prepare a Constitution for the MacArthur chap- ter of the National Honor Society, the senior organiza- tion, whose first inductions were held in March, 1962.

Monti was changed to half-back and Weiler got the starting role as signal caller — the result, a 12-6 win over Wheatley. All told, in the eight games the 36-member team ended with a 2-4-2 record, losing to Memorial, Plain- view, Clarke, and Plainedge, and tying Syosset and Floral Park, while defeating Wheatley and Jericho.

And who can ever forget June third, when to top off the evening of Stardust, we received our long awaited senior rings. To usher in the senior year, we had a party, and since then our busy schedule has not run out. Our class has had numer- ous parties, dress-up days, and projects to help the school. Does anyone have a tissue? was the cry of most Seniors as they climbed into the bus after seeing West Side Story dur- ing the Christmas season of 1961. The mo- vie experience had been preceded by din- ner at Toffenetti's, truly one of the greatest successes of our class. The highlights of our year were, of course, the Senior trip, and the long dreamed-of Senior Prom. We worked hard but it was well worth it. Our Junior Prom was the greatest yeti Al Sigmon wins the American Legion Oratorical Contest ogoin. Mr. Covell and Mr. O'Brien look on proudly. ETHEL AARON JOHN ALLEN PAUL BRASKY G O.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22 The scorpion, governed by Mors up above. Is fiery in hate and headstrong in love. His temper, so quick, will break every bond. And hurt most the friends of whom he is fond. Proud Scorpio's children are honest and true; They're earnest and brave, and industrious, too. Carnations of glimmering red are for them; Their number is nine, the ruby their gem. First month of the year, and then also July Are lucky for Scorpio — Heaven knows why! On Tuesdays all great things will happen, it's said. In numerous weeks, months, and years up ahead. ANNE BERGER G.O. Rep. 3.4; Dromotics Club 4, Science Dept. Sec'y 2-4; Lob Squad 2.

Soccer Hindered by a low scoring offense and a defense which often fell apart in crucial moments, the 1961 Varsity Soccer Team went through a winless 0-12 season. Coached by Mr. Werner Rothchild, the booters were unable to form a solid team around such able performers as center-forward Dan Quinlan, insides Terry Grace and Mike Priano, and goalie Dick Belsito. One of the highlights of the season was the intra-town gome against Memorial, which ended in 5-0 score.

Outstanding MacArthurites For four years we have watched the performances of our teams on the fields and courts of Salk and MacArthur. Although there have been many outstanding achieve- ments in all of the sports, we the editors of the first edition of the Commander would like to designate ten boys as the top athletes in their respective sports. All of these boys proved to be the most reliable members of their teams. They displayed both out- standing ability and good sportsmanship. In addition, we would like to make special mention of Bob Mathes as the most im- proved athlete in the last four years. Bob, who was not a regular during his first two years of play on the Varsity Basketball Team, came on to spark the squad in his lost two years.

Bob Mo- thes, one of the team's top rebound- ers, adds another to his total. At the start of a season that we hod hoped to be good enough for a possible tournament-bound MacArthur basketball team. Coach Bob laPolla's Varsity five lost its first five league games. After commencing with two non-league wins over the Crusaders of Lutheran (63-52' and the Jayhawks from Jericho (52-50', the Generals traveled across town to Levittown Memorial and lost a heart-breaking game to Division Avenue in the first annual Levittown Tournament. Then came the five successive league losses to Hicksville, Clarke, Syosset, Farmingdale, and Plainview. Probably the best played game of the season was against Syosset, which ended in a thrilling double overtime loss for the hoop- sters. Come on Weiler block thot shot. The MacArthur defense tries to stop a Jeri- cho score. Watch the walking there. Mathes goes in for one of his drives which made him the team's top scorer. 86 Basketbal FIRST ROW, left to right J McCormick, F Griffith� , B Olsen. B Mothes, G Bouer. J Sierra.

High men on rebounds were Fred Griffiths, who frequently amazed spec- tators with his kangaroo like jumps, Mathes, and sophomore George Bauer. Ray Leitner excited all with his ball handling as did Artie Kurtz with his de- fensive play. John Sierra's all around good play, and Bob Olson's frequent good showings added to the team's first few varsity successes. 87 Shoot it before the buzzer. John!

Steve Hartman shows good form in releasing ball. Although it failed to win o third straight league champion- ship, the MacArthur Varsity Bowling Team finished an out- standing season by beating Islond Trees, 5-0. The Keglers finished in second place with a 30-10 record. The team coached by Mr. Russel Leary and captained by senior John Wright entered the Nassau County Rolloffs with high hopes. However, it was just a bad day and the pinmen could not even finish in the top twenty. Wright, who two years ago hod thrown the high game on the North Shore with a 260, had the top average on the squad. Other members of the team were Steve Goldberg, Jarret Inkeles, Steve Hartman, Steve Weinberg, Bob Leiberg, and Ed Roman. Captain John Wright bowls one ot his many strikes. 89 Left to Right: R.

However, these classes are already in full swing with their elected officers leading them toward the most interesting and fun-filled years of their lives. Our Freshmen started this year with their memorable splash porty at St. George Pool. They'll remember the paradox of going swimming in early February while the snow fell outdoors, and trying, but alas, failing, to get permission to use the sun lamps, steam rooms, and exercise machines. Our freshmen were joined by those from Salk, their other half, escorted by none other than our former assistant principal, Mr. Schwartz. Our sophomores, not to be outdone, have already instituted a dues program so that their treasury will be large enough to cover all their future needs — including, of course, those much anticipated junior and senior proms. To further enlarge their funds, our sophomores conducted one of the most successful cup cake sales ever held here. STANDING Left to Right. M Abroms; G. lotchet SEATED: E Roth; K Lockwood.

Symbolically, it was the Varsity Club, just getting off the ground this year, which pro- vided the color guard for the dedication of our new gymnasium. And the Varsity Club has just decided upon the first vorsify jacket, which can now be purchased at the school store. Membership in the club is confined to the boys who have won their varsity M's and who have satisfactory academic standing and character rating. A new school, a new gym . . . and a new club.

German Club Over the lively rhythms of Strauss waltzes and the din of classroom German, stu- dents were eagerly munching stollen and gulping cider (strictly un-olcoholic). Die Deutsche Verien climaxed its cultural activities for the year with the true gaiety of the German folk in a Christmas celebration. As the cleanup committee made its final effort to restore room 107 to its original condition, students recalled the many events which hod marked the year as one of the most successful in the German Club's history. Various music fests in which anything from rock'n'roll to Boch could be heard, the always welcomed field trips to German movies, and a film depicting German folk fes- tivals — all contributed to make an unforgettable year 1st ROW; G Grennon, J.

If only they slowed down a bit, we'd see their eyes all brightly lit. With zest for life and friends galore, what does their future hold in store? It's really up to them you know — just what they do and go. But let them watch for one and nine and red, and lucky stars will shine. . r I Custodial Staff Kitchen Staff Louise Rossi ond Dorothy Katz served opple cider during the lunch period Mr Lorry Savoge woits for incoming dishes Louise Katz ond Mary Burns, head of the Kitchen Staff, prepare hot lunch. 103 BARBARA BIESTERFIELD DIANE BULSON Cookie ; G.O.

Mr. Thomas A. Guarino, former chairman of the Art Deportment at Jonas E. Salk High School, succumbed to cancer last summer at the age of thirty-four. A former resident of Smithtown, he is survived by his wife and two small daughters. Last year the faculty at Salk held a benefit basketball game to help pay his costly medical expenses. The game was attended by a vast ma- jority of the student body. He was beloved by his students and faculty as well. The editors of the yearbook dedicate this year's artwork to him. 114 Best Wishes to the Closs of 1962 From PHIL ST. PIERRE AND THE AMERICAN YEARBOOK CO.
