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.

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. Block if, Robbie! Cooch Schmidt feeds the boll in proctice to goo lie Don Robertson r

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 Gemini, or twins, describes rather well The girls, and boys who are under its spell. One day they're moody, the next full of fun. They're more like two different people than one. Gemini's clever, say stars in the skies. Thus Gemini's students are both smart and wise. Even each showery April is kind; In August, too, wonderful luck they will find. For Gemini Friday's a fortunate day And luck will befall them in blue and in gray. If they find in each venture a four or a six. Fate may just spare them her terrible tricks.
