Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1942 volume:

As he looks toward the future, this flyer reflects the spirit of our times—courage and love of lib- erty which we wish to portray in this yearbook. «JWy.j.v. ■ K V- M 4� • . Harrison High School Harrison, New York i � rvVi Because our armed forces are fighting to pre- serve our democratic way of life, our freedom and our privileges, because they are unselfishly risking their lives to insure a true peace, based on justice and liberty, we feel that it is fitting to center the theme of the 1942 Reminiscence around West Point and Annapolis. We can well aspire to their principles, those of honor and dedication to duty. In the present crisis, we look to these academies to be our guides to victory. E FIND it difficult to express our appreciation for the dedicatee whom we have chosen this year. Joining the faculty in 1937, he introduced several activities which have become traditions of Harrison High School — Senior Day, Better Speech Week, Maroon Murmurs, and the Annual Spelling Bee. Under his guidance both MAROON MURMURS and REMINISCENCE have received high ratings in national competition. Few of us realize the time and effort which he expended to train efficient jour- nalists so that these publications might maintain their high standards. His interest and support in every school activity is well known to all who worked with him. Every school organization could always rely on his sincere cooperation. Recently he enlisted in the United States Navy to do his part in the war effort. The class of 1942 wishes him success in the service of his country and a speedy return to Harrison High School. It is with pride and gratitude that we present our dedicatee. Wayne E.

Our New Faculty Members et kin Nurse MISS CECILE BENNETT Secretary to the Principal TLU 3n itlemoriam MRS. JENNIE TRACY Mrs. Tracey was a nurse in the Harrison Schools for twenty-five years. Everyone knew her as a friendly and kind lady whom all of us respect- ed. A familiar sight that can be remembered about Mrs. Tracy, in her every day life, was her appear- ance at town stores with her faithful pet dogs. She had a soft voice which contained a quality of confidence acquired through her experience and training at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City. Because of the loyalty which Mrs. Tracy has demonstrated through her many years at work in our schools, there will be an indelible impression in the minds of the students who were acquainted with her.

G. O. builds and main- tains school spirit by encouraging student participation in all school activities. The primary aim of the Student Council is to give the student body an active voice in school government. Composed of four seniors, three jun- iors, two sophomores, one freshman, and one eighth grader, the Council discusses important matters concerning themselves and the school. The student body brings suggestions to Council mem- bers, who in turn present the subject to the Council for discussion and action. In this way many sug- gestions for school improvements have been put into practice. Advisors—Miss Matilda Risoli.

I Love a Parade Mr. Paul Koehler, plus the music department, plus some talent and a great deal of practice, adds up to the splendid musical groups which claim Harrison High as their proud possessor. Instrumentalists . . . tooters, bangers, sliders, and clangers . . . strutters and twirlers . . . vocalists, so- pranos, altos, seconds. . . . All of these students receive weekly individual lessons in addition to tests and group rehearsals. Adding to the color of this band at football games were the gaily dressed majorettes who displayed re- markable skill at baton twirling. The Dance Band and Girls' Chorus also afforded some light entertainment at school functions. The grand finale, the culmination of a year's hard work, comes in the spring when all the musical or- ganizations combine their efforts and present the Spring Concert.

Nominations for this honor are made by officers of classes and organizations who determine their candidates on the basis of service, loyalty, courtesy, school-spirit, and friendliness. The nominees were: John Wenzel, Carl Koechlin, Basil Candela, Jean Luckhardt, Eleanora Johnson, and Anne McDowell. There were campaign speeches in the assembly just before the voting. A student talked in behalf of each nominee. This feature was inaugurated by the Class of 1939 and its purpose is to give due recognition to the one girl and one boy who have been chosen as the typical all-around students. The Reminiscence Staff presents the 1942 All- Around Girl and Boy—Anne Mct)owell and John Wenzel. (JeD d .it A 1 HtHRIlW? HYL C ■feli® ' jfc, 0 ur Part f.r Llvicle 5 im Harry H. is strong and handsome, blue-eyed and blond. He is also skinny, knock-kneed, buck-toothed, and red-headed. Then again he may be a she. But for practical purposes we'll keep him a boy — an animate mixture of every- thing that constitutes The Harrison High School Student — also, this time, a member of the Class of '42. It was September, 1938, that Harry took his first faltering steps into H. H. S. Bang! He was a Freshman . . . Zip! He was a Sophomore . . . Whumph! He was a Junior . . . Wow! He was a Senior! But wait a minute — not so fast! If all Mr. H. had left after four years was a phantasmagorial blurr of colored landscape whizzing by a fast express, he might as well junk his whole high school career. Is nothing sacred? Are there no pleasant mem- ories — nothing to smooth the brow, and crinkle the crowsfeet during the odd moments of his middle age? Yes, it went fast, but the poignant, sad, comical, bewildering, eager, happy details are there. ftwoce ftif Verily, there are times spent in H. H. S. that Harry will never forget. It started that first day of High School early in September. It was a big event: his world had expanded. From Lord of the Grammar School Harry H. now found himself but a drip in the bucket of upperclassmen. He was truly awed — awed by the atmosphere, awed by the Older Ones, and by the amazing array of pretty girls. Most of his Freshman year was spent in getting used to actually being in high school. Harry became a Sophomore and gained a little polish: he was on speaking terms with both the Older Ones and the Pretty Girls. If he became too out- spoken he was assigned detention — poignant moments unforgettable! In this -------- ' T ' year, too, he started taking active part in H. H. S. social life — parties, dances, extra curricular activities. There was a Sophomore bridge . . . And then — Harry H. (shall we say Mr. Harry H.?), his hesitant, falter- ing days behind, advanced to the Exalted Order of Upperclassmen. Socially — plenty of poise, though he had his off moments; athletically — plenty stronger, and voice had about settled to good cheering pitch; scholastically — got in and dug, last two years counted most. (He stimulated his jaw with shaves now — every month.) The growing-, almost grown-up Harry H. and Class Jg. P(Orf MOI(Nlb staged a Junior Play. It was called June Mad, dealt with adolescents, and was a financial and dramatic success. Spring laid the way and early summer set the scene for the year's biggest social affair, the Junior Prom — swirling gowns and summer formal and sweet music and soft drinks and the morning- after. There was a Junior bridge . . . And here it was: Harry H. (shall we say Professor or the Hon. H. H.?) rose to the supreme heights — to that commanding and respected position of Senior. The last year was a whirlwind of activity . . . Senior subjects . . . eye on. graduation and future . . . broader interests ... Sr. Day — sat in Teacher’s Room all day for spite . . . socials ... Sr. Ball . . . more responsi- bility . . . self-confidence bordering on cocksureness. He was Big Man this year, all right. But strangely enough, as his days as Senior grew fewer, he be- gan to doubt his high and noble place in school. Something faintly resembling humility hit him. He was beginning to Think, to Find Out, to Become Aware: there were many bigger things than being a Senior in High School; if he wa., but a drip in the bucket of upperclassmen when a Freshman, he now came to realize that he was still a drip — and in a much deeper, wider bucket. Gradua- tion came . . . beautiful ceremony — they speeched and cried all over him . . . and he was in the Bucket, ready to face world competition. He was In the Bucket, with only a yearbook and memories to keep Alma Mater close to his heart . . . memories of cheering crowds at football, basket- ball, baseball, track . . . memories of assemblies, plays, marching band, dances, cheerleaders, clubs . . . more . . . And so Harry H., Class of '42, was out to face the world — college, or work, or the Army, or the Navy. Wherever he goes, and wherever other Harrys of other classes go — good luck! May their memories in the future be as fair as those they have in H. H. S. s YxiA’-' ’■ ; The Rosalie Brooks Declamation Contest Has Become Traditional The eighth annual Rosalie Brooks Declamation Contest, sponsored by the American Legion, was held on February 26th. The winners, pictured in front of the group, were Leo Delaney, a junior, and Mary Howard, a senior. The other participants were, left to right, B. Frankie, D. Flynn, F. O'Conner, D. Creador, H. Mordey, M. Moore, R. Carr, E. Gabriel, and L. Turso. Harrison High School students are doing their share for National Defense. During the noon hour volunteers sell stamps at a booth in the corridor. On our monthly Defense Stamp Day homerooms vie for the honor of selling the highest number of stamps. By the close of school Harrison High will have contributed $1,000.00 for your share toward victory. 1941 Football ne Frank DiBisce lia, Ben Marciano, Ben Giovannetti, John Maxwell, Salvatore LeGrazie, Pat Decea, Alpha Dowd. Prospects for the '41 football team opened with little promise. The team had lost seven varsity men because of graduation, and the reserves were so few in number that Coach Negroni had to develop an entirely green team. Hopes for a successful season faded as the team dropped the first two games and just managed to tie a far inferior Eastchester eleven. However, no one counted on the heart, stamina and courage of Coach Negroni and his team which brought them victory over the physically superior Scarsdale and Tuckahoe aggregations. We then proceeded to thrash the unbeaten Bellows team. Then to satisfactorily end the season our eleven knocked the league leading Rye team from its pedestal with a sound 20-7 victory. Top Row — W.

The courage, determination and defiance with which his teams always played, resulted from the love and loyalty brought forth from his leadership which inspired rather than de- manded. His friendly humor and under- standing were traits which brought him the affection and esteem of every student ac- quainted with him. His accomplishments have made him forever a part of Harrison tradition. We hope that Coach will always find comfort and pride in this knowledge.

CHAMPS t WSOAf Because of its extremely fast action and numerous thrills basketball is rapidly overtaking football in popularity among Harrison High School students, and is giving football a hard battle for supremacy as the ma- jor sport of the high school. This year the two traditional games with Bellows surpassed all others in fast plays and ex- citement. Then there were two decisive defeats over Rye. When the 1942 season terminated, our basketball team was the winner of the Southern Westchester Interscholastic Athletic Confer- ence Championship. Coach F. Fiore, G. Truscello, P. Sullivan, F. Rogers, A. Dowd, P. Potter. The credit for this remarkable showing of the 1942 team goes largely to Coach Fred Fiore who, with only two varsity men remaining from last year, managed to discover three other men capable of filling the positions of those who had left. He developed this team into a winner by teaching them to play cooperatively instead of as individual stars.

A number of years ago a Harrison chapter of the Westchester Girls' Athletic Association was formed and has been functioning with great success ever since. The purpose of the organization is to provide a complete program of athletics for girls, stressing the en- joyment and benefits which can be derived from sports and to promote competition that stresses the development of good sports- manship. Representatives from all schools attend the county meetings where discussions of interesting questions take place and plans are made for the playdays which are an outstanding feature of the W. G. A. A. At these interscholastic meetings competition is avoided by mixing the girls from various schools together thereby helping them to become acquainted with one another. Games between the different teams in our school in hockey, base- ball and badminton are held throughout the year. At the end of the season the winning teams receive letters. The Leaders Club is also another branch of girls activities. This organization promotes a keen sense of responsibility and leadership. It was formed to develop a cooperative spirit among the members to assist in conducting physical education classes and afterschool sports. Other activities of our chapter are socials, parties and monthly meetings. LEADERS CLUB Top Row J. Gaynor, A. Delorio, N. Trebing, D. Gilb, L. Anderson, D. Cervi. Fourth Row— M. Scelia, A.
