•HATOISOM -HIGH SCHOOL -HARRUSON kiiw yoRK FOREWORD As we walk out through the doors of Harrison High School, we realize that we shall be judged by the records we leave behind us. These may be represented by footprints, from the tiny outlines etched in infancy to the more clearly defined tracks made as we have grown stronger mentally, morally, and socially. Our future impressions will be of various sizes and shapes, but the mark- ings of each will be unique and distinctive. The shoes of opportunity which we wear will determine the difference. The paths they follow will show our ideals, achievements, failures and personalities. Our footprints may not always reveal our original hopes or the goals we aspire to reach, because circumstances sometimes prevent the realization of dreams. But everyone in this class will, at sometime during his life, run into many opportunities where his ability to choose is tested. Our shoes will leave their distinct markings upon the sands of time. The deepest prints will be made by those who have accepted advice and have chosen careers thoughtfully. These students' dreams of happiness and success will be realized. Untracked plains stretch before us. We see no clearly defined, easily followed road; only a bewildering expanse, which arouses our curiousity. Our paths may lead us across the torn and muddy battlefields or through green fertile pastures. We may choose to be pioneers in the scientific wood- land or settlers of the cultivated fields. Some, we hope, will discover new ways across the sands. Others will probably use our footprints as a guide. Though our paths may be separated for a time, each one of us sees upon the horizon the goal toward which he is striving. At this time our footprints are close together as we hesitate before taking the next step. They become resolute and clear, however, as we commence a new life. We must forge on, over-step the pitfalls and push aside all retarding influences. This has been our house ot learning; its glowing lights will continue to shine throughout our lives as we go forward making footprints on life's sands. To the future we look with strength and determination. 2 Lives of great men all remind us We con make our lives sublime. And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. From Henry W.

You have guided our footsteps at Harrison High School in such a way as to make each task a joy. You have been a patient in- structor, a constant benefactor to our class, but above all— you have been an understand- ing friend. To you, Mr. Figliola, the class of 1955 is proud to dedicate this issue of Reminis- cence. Evelyn Hunerlach Editor-in-chief in Memoriam MRS. BEULAH HIRSCH All of us were deeply grieved last summer at the death of one of our beloved teachers, Mrs. Beulah Hirsch, who devoted her life to the service of youth through education. Her memory is enshrined in the hearts of the hundreds of students who benefitted from her outstanding directions on the path to maturity. Thus do we walk with her and keep unbroken, The bond which nature gives. Thinking that our remembrance, though unspoken, May reach her where she lives. From Henry V .

RefreShmeots PrizeS '!‘Donation $� -00 Card Party CLASS Wednesday, September 6, 1950 . . . Our first day in high school. We were awed by the size of the school and by the seniors; we got lost easily and we loved every minute of it. Miss Lally and Mr. Castelli came to our aid, telling us all about high school life and what was expected of us. We heard the old familiar Little eighth graders and Were we once that small? but soon grew used to it. Our vocabulary grew; it soon included new words like maroon murmurs, reminiscence, junior prom, Intramurals and col- lege. Another new word was dramatics. We even gave a play for assembly. We sold magazine subscriptions and won Billy , the goat, for selling the most. Our intellect grew, too. We were introduced to high school studies through a six weeks course in language. We also had a taste of Home Economics and Shop. And, of course, there was always regular school work. Our teachers helped us through and just when we were beginning to enjoy it — it was June. Our Freshman year was more exciting. We beg n to take specialized courses and more new words like College Entrance and Commercial were added to our growing vocabulary. Money for our yearbook took on greater importance. We sold magazine subscriptions (this time we won Hungry Joe ), lucky charms, and had a tea dance to pad our growing bankroll. New clubs were open to us. We joined Girls' Chorus or went out for J. V. sports; we participated in Red Cross or in intramurals after school. The more studious among us were made probationary members of National Honor Society. When June rolled around again, many of us went to commencement; our own graduation was just one year closer. Our Sophomore year started off with a bang in the form of a Halloween Hop. Later in the year, we worked hard to make the annual Sophomore Bridge a success. How happy we were when the receipts were counted and our hopes were realized by a big profit! Winding up the year was our trip to Indian Point on a dayliner up the Hudson River. Crazy hats and sunburns, not to mention speedboat rides, were the order of the day. Having successfully passed the Regents examinations we looked forward to being upper classmen. Our first job as juniors, after we were back in harness the following September, was choosing junior rings. It took us many ballots to choose the style we wanted, but the ring was finally chosen and piggy banks were robbed. The following February the class of '55 were proudly wearing their new rings. Our second semester was hectic: junior play, junior prom and S. A. T.'s. (for underclassmen-they are the Scholastic Aptitude Tests for College Entrance Students.) At rehearsals for the play, tempers were lost and found again; lines, forgotten; cues, missed, but the juniors and Miss Stephens refused to give up; Take Care of My Little Girl went off without a hitch. After the play came the prom and with it many headaches—Having chosen the theme, Underwater ''Underwater Dream 40 HISTORY Dream , we set to work. Everyone worked together to make it the success that it was. The S. A. T.'s were taken and everyone consoled himself with the thought that there is always next year! That June, at Commencement, we sat quieter and clapped louder than at previous graduations. We were next and it did not seem too difficult to picture ourselves in caps and gowns. After four long years of waiting, we finally made it! SENIORS! We didn't get lost anymore—and darned if the eighth graders weren't getting smaller each year! We didn't have too much time for dreaming. There was our gold plated yearbook to attend to. The staff was chosen and Evey took over as Editor-In-Chief. In the midst of preparing the yearbook came the call for the Senior Play. With less time for rehearsals, we diligently memorized lines, coaxed on by Miss Stephens who was determined to make us actors this time! All too soon it was over; the January College Boards, mid-term exams, and the com- pletion of college applications faced us. It wasn't too hard, how- ever, to forget for a little while at one of the Senior Parties which became a part of our every-week-end agenda. Suddenly, January vanished and had taken February with her. We were measured for caps and gowns; final drafts for the yearbook were due.Some of the more hardy of us took State Scholarship Exams and then the March College Boards. The hard-working and persevering members of the class were elected to National Honor Society. Then the college acceptances started to arrive. We suddenly realized that there was not much time left. By May many of us will know our future plans. A month later our years at H. H. S. will become pleasant memories. We of the class of '55 hope that in some small way we have helped make it a better school; it has made us better citizens. Not all our five years were spent in school. We read papers and went to movies. We were given a free lesson in geography when they started a war in a God-forsaken country called Korea. In one breath they called us the future of America and to'd us to pre- serve democracy, freedom and peace. In another, they handed us a bomb, capable of destroying the world and dared us to preserve the world. We tried to think of other things: like music with a new beat or movies in cinemascope. We read Little Orphan Annie , listened to Eddie Fisher, and sighed over Marlon Brando. But still we discussed peaceful co-existence with Russia as we read about governments rising and falling all over the world. Yes, we have been handed a world like a bomb with a lighted fuse. We shall try. We shall do more than that; we shall preserve peace. You have not taught us in vain; as we leave high school and take up our adult lives, we carry with us the fruit of vour experience and of your knowledge. Believe in us—we shall not betray your trust.

Yesterday, I was passing by Grauman's Chinese Theater and you should have seen the footprints of all the students from the class of '55 at Harrison High. . . For instance, right up front were the footprints of Evelyn Hunerlach. She won the Pulitzer prize for her magazine Better Homes and Hardware. And you'll never guess who's on the Staff—Skooky Mellor. He has been working in the experimental kitchen and has just perfected a new recipe for soft-broiled Lasagna with chocolate sauce. Do you know who writes for the sports section? Arlene Schleman. She retired from the All-American Girls' softball team just to write articles on Basket- ball and its Relationship to a Badminton Singles Court . This assignment was given to her by Ann Va.entino. Mona Jaari has just been nominated for an award; her short novel is entitled I Was An Existentialist For The F.B.I.. . . Next to her footprints, 1 saw Olivia Mac Namara's. Did you know that she is a famous marriage counsellor? Her quiet and calm manner has saved many a marriage from the rocks. Speaking of rocks, Felice Kuller has just had her most famous doodle (which she did in marble) ac- cepted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She called it Thoughts Thought During 'Les Miserables.' Just behind these footprints, I found a pair made by the high heels of Nancy Freydberg. Remember she wanted to be a psychologist? Well, she is. . . . She psychoanalyzes neurotic poodles. She even has an office in the Waldorf Astoria for Millionai-e Canines. Incidentally. . . Arti Ginsburg got his footsteps outside Grauman's because he developed a new dance. The Duckwalk . And Lorrie Kay and Dick Block have bought out Arthur Murray so that they can teach the dance to everyone. Incidentally, Marano Tauro is manager of this beautiful Waldorf Astoria Hotel. He started out as desk clerk and when Don Harris sold out to go to Hawaii with Joe Pugliese and Lou Talia to be beachcombers, Marano took over. You'll never guess who else lives in the Paradise of the Pacific . . . Made ine Cangianni, Barbara Storino, Marlene Ferreira, and Ann Feda. When their bosses won $250,000 in a contest, they gave it to these girls who have rented a penthouse for life. They spent their leisure time typing copy for yearbooks. I just looked up at the sky and saw a new jet plane which reminded me of Lloyd Leichter, the first man to reach the moon. He built his own space ship, you know, out of cardboard boxes using dummy sheets from Reminiscence. Walter Fallani went with him to sketch the men from the moon and Ted Giehler went along for the ride. Speaking of trips, Steve Mulwitz has just finished a long run at the Union of South Africa Paladium. Those natives were beside themselves when he started to play his drums . . . even offered him position of chief medicine man if he'd stay. You will never guess who else is in Africa Those crack shots, Chicky Hatfield, Martha King, and Joan Green. Martha and Joan have bagged over 30 elephants. Chicky has been so busy taking pictures of the girls and their elephants, he hasn't had time to go hunting himself. Well, I was telling you about the footsteps outside Grauman's. I got a look at the footsteps of Sandy Daitch, Lynn Ferris, and Angela Salvo. They're in the movies. Sandy was in Goldie Locks and the Three Bears , Lynn was in Exploring Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Angela starred in How to Steam-rivet Ef- fectively ! These pictures were all directed by Joe Spedaliere, famous director of Spectaculars. Near the wall were the footprints of Sandi dePasquale and Roland Coulter. You see, Sandi built the first bridge across the Pacific, from New York to Tokyo. Roland, Mayor of Harrison, delivered the speech dedicating the bridge, and it was so warmly received that publisher, John Percy, has offered to print it. Jackie, by the way has also published My Three Years in Wilkesbarre , by Klaren Jenkins. It has been number one on the best seller list for twenty weeks, you know. One of the reasons that the book has been so popular is that the cover design is so eye-catching. I'll bet you can guess who designed it. That's right — Donny Ander- son. But back to the footprints. There were Antoinette Barletta's. She's an actress on TV. It seems that when they came out with a new SMALL cigarette she was the one they picked to wear the ciga-ette pack and dance. Right beside hers were the footprints of Jean Baxter, Carol Beck, and Patsy laniri. Jean is now our first lady ambassador to Mexico. After Irene Piscopo went down there to settle a boundary dispute, they just gave up and ceded the whole Statue to us.Carol Beck is now appearing at the Mocambo with her own all-girl orchestra. You'll never guess who plays the cello for the band . . . Angela Fiore. She's a sensation! Next year she's going to appear at the London Palladium. Queen Diane wants to hear her. Oh you haven't heard the news about Diane Zeeman, have you? Well last year, on her way to the Olympic Games (she was on ihe Shotput Team), she stopped off in London and, since the King had never seen anyone put a shot so well, he married her. Now he can watch her shotput anytime he so desires. I happened to look up just now and guess whom I saw? Geoffrey King, Lenny Tutolo, and Bobby Tirella. They're partners on a new machine. I think it has something to do with making soft-soled shoes so that 'going over the hill' will be easier. I asked them about some of the other alumni of the Class of '55 and here's what they told me: Alar. Gellis is still locked in his ce'lar trying to dehydrate water. He's already vacuum-packed it, but he just can't seem to take the water out. . . Ma-cia Mac Donald is now Head of the Deoartment of Water Safety in New York. It seemed that the city fathers thought that it was time that the workers there knew how to swim and he put Marcia in charge of teaching them. . . Beat- rice DeVico and Barbara Saeli are now giving Mambo lessons to Marlon Brando. He gave up his raccoon for them. Jeanette Crenson has been elected president of the ASPCLTU. That's the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Left-toed Ubangis . . . Ellen Crowley and Mary Cuniffe have gone into business together. They bought an old house and have turned it into a hotel for the homeless ubangis that Jeanette sends them . . . Angela Marchione and Theresa Masciola have set up a taxi service for students who can never quite make it to school on time. Connie Malfitano has accepted a position at the taxi company. She gives the signal every time a cab stops so that pedestrians can get out of the way before the herd bears down. That was all thrf news the boys had to tell me, so I went back to the footprints. I saw Eileen Barnett's. Did you know that she is the head directress at a school now? She teaches young ladies how to walk, to talk, to dress and to play the glockenspeil. I saw the footprints of Rosalind Fuchsberg. She's a nuclear physicist now and has just disproved Einstein's Theory of Relalivity. Dino Fabrizio had his steps inprinted right next to Rosalind's. Dino is now the president of I.C.U. Pictures, Inc. When the former president saw Dino's ability for running the G.O., he resigned and gave his job to the Bean . The studio has just finished a new picture. It's called The Voice of the Spirogyra and it stars Terry Dankel. Robert Bilotta also has a part in the picture. He plays the role of Juan, an ex-prize fighter who has turned spyrogyra-trainer. The next footprints that I saw belonged to Donny Donovan. He poses for the man of distinction ads, you know... Frank Goldschmidt now owns Con Edison. They had given him so many trophies, that the board of directors figured it would save money if they just gave him the company. He's in Paris now; he went to see an art show given by Francis Gibson. Just last week, she won first prize for her oil depicting a sunrise over the LaBraya Tar Pits ... Liz Ne son is in Paris, too. She's a Countess. When I came to the next footsteps, they were right beside another pair. They belonged to Carol D'lmperio and Mike Papaleo. They have a husband and wife television program now.Just the other day one of their guests was Freddy Riedin- ger, noJed anthropologist. He had just returned from an extended safari in the sub- t-ooica! region of B-ooklyn. He reported that he found many different and facinating types of natives, who spoke a very different language. Another guest last week was Hazel Speuhler. She writes advice to the lovelorn in one of the local papers. Her steadiest customer, by the way, is Anita Lunden. You just can't imagine how suprised I was to find that so many of the class of '55 made good. I saw the footprints of Henry Singer, Mike Tamucci, Arthur Rizy and Phyllis Sinclair. Henry Singer has been made United States Ambassador to Moscow. Since he is the only man ever to have out-argued the Russians at the UN, our government thought that Moscow was the place for him. Mike Tamucci went along with Henry just in case he needed help with his Russian. You will remember that Mike lived in Russia for a year while doing research work on a paper for Miss Churchill. Arthur Rizy is now a seven star general in the Marines. He has a special job in Washington: making sure that the President doesn't-do anything too rash. By the way, I should have mentioned this before. Have you seen the latest story about President Shaw? I read that he has just sent out an order (with General Rizy's permission) for the Marines to go to Nicaragua. We don't have any- thing to worry about as long as Bruce, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, and Gwen Young, as Secretary of Defense, keep up their splendid job. Phyllis Sinclair, as our Secretary of Scum Removal, is also doing a splendid job in the har- bors and rivers of this land. Not everyone could have remoxed wax paper with jelly on it and used grapefruit rinds as effectively as she. And those aren't all the footprints . . . not by a long shot. Here are some more that I came across. I saw Gloria Minot's, Susan Morris's, and Barbara Morgan's. Gloria is doing confidential work for the government as a diplomatic courrier. Susan Morris, now president of MIT, is another of the many stuudents' who did well after graduation from H. H. S. Barbara Morgan has just developed a system for writing letters without having to spell words, but she isn't telling anyone her secret until she has it patented. I saw Ann Pascale's footsteps. She has set up a home for retired cheerleaders. Steffie Tirella is a nurse now and she helps Ann by massaging sore muscles and legs every year when the football season rolls around. The next footsteps that I saw belonged to Julie Pifer who is scheduled to appear at Town Hall in a few weeks. She is the composer of a new piano concerto and plans to play it at that performance. Next to Julie's prints were the impressions made by the feet of Elsie Sottlie, Rita Tirella, and Mary Grace Policriti. These girls have opened a new kind of restaurant where the customers serve the waiters and waitresses! That's Harrison's initiative for you . . . And last, but not least, as I was finishing my tour, guess whom I saw? Bunny Cogen and Bill Brereton. Bunny was having her shoe imprinted in the cement for her outstanding work in the field of fingernails. She was appointed by the President to bottle her formula for growing such long nails. And Bill Brereton was there setting her foot in. It seems that he is the only specialist of his kind. No one else in the world can set prints in wet cement like Bill. And that is what I saw during my trip to the theater. Incidentally, the marquee above the theater proclaimed, Held over by public demand! . . . Barbara French and Gloria Magnani reading the selected poems of Wesley Haight. My vacation is almost over, but I'll never forget it, just as I will never forget the wonderful years at H.H.S.

They are usually busy getting used to the whirl of high school classes and activities. However, they are never too busy to break the magazine sales campaign record set by the preceding class. They always seem to have more pep and energy for selling than the upper classmenl The freshmen year in Harrison High School is one full of new studies and outlooks. This year, for the first time, one can choose the course of study that interests him. And no one knows whether to take French, Spanish, or Latin! At last, the final decisions have been made and the freshmen class tries to get used to being in high school. Since they are one step closer to their senior year and are anxious to earn a large sum of money for their yearbook, the ninth graders have become interested in filling their new treasury. Perhaps a dance or a play will help them get under way. Once they have become Sophomores, our high school students start taking their studies more serious- ly than before. This year, they will be taking Regents Examinations for the first time. In addition, there are many more extra-curricular activities open to them as Sophomores; they are eligible to try out for Maroon Murmurs and other interesting clubs and or- ganizations. The goal of senior year is approaching and soon these boys and girls will be working hard on their Sophomore Bridge to raise funds for the yearbook. As an extra boost to their finances, the Sophomores will most likely sell charms or pins to help pay for that special yearbook! Just one step away from their senior year are the Juniors. One of the first activities of this year for them is choosing the high school ring, and there is always a great deal of campaigning before the right style has been chosen! The name College Boards becomes part of a Junior's vocabulary. And there is always the Junior Play to be chosen, cast, rehearsed, worried-over, exploited, and made suc- cessful. Plans for the annual Junior Prom will begin to materialize and, soon afterwards, posters and an- nouncements will inform everyone of the biggest so- cial event at H.H.S. By then exam time has rolled around and with it commencement. In the fall the classes will all move up. The juniors will be thoughtful, amazed to find that four years have slipped by and that they have become seniors. Once again the classes will busy themselves raising money for the yearbook while the seniors will be busy just being seniors.

FOOTBALL As the 1954 football season got underway, a young and inexperienced but determined Huskie team took the field to battle a new contender in the S. W. I. A. C. league, Hast- ings High School. The premiere was a period of adjust- ment for the new varsity men. Although the Maroons went on to drop the opener by a close score of 13-8, they picked up things more valuable; confidence and teamwork. Their offense worked in spurts, showing definite signs of good ball handling off the single wing and stubborn defensive maneuvers. In their second game, the Maroon and White, determined after their inaugural defeat, upset a highly favored Blessed Sacrament team on October ninth with an exciting 13-7 vic- tory at New Rochelle. The whole Huskie team worked to- gether in executing a fine offensive attack and a solid defense which stopped the tough Cardinal squad from eating up yardage. It was a happy day for Harrison fans as many turned out to greet the victors when the bus returned to H. H. S. The third game of the season saw the Huskies go down to defeat at the hands of Eastchester High School. The daz- zling backfield speed of the Eagles was the main cause of the Huskie downfall. Although the boys gave it every- thing they had, they just couldn't reach the end zone stripes. As the final whistle blew the Harrisonites found themselves on the short end of a 42-0 score. The Huskies dropped a 39-13 verdict to Pleasantville High School in their third S. W. I. A. C. game at Harrison field on October 23rd. The Maroons played a very good first half, making the Panthers work for every inch of yardage they gained. The Huskies once again displayed their effec- tive ground attack which was due to the fine blocking displayed by the alert Maroons. It was in the third quarter that the Panthers broke the game wide open, scoring several times after benefiting by Harrison fumbles. The Maroon and White outplayed a favored Port Chester High School team in every quarter only to lose the game by a close 28-14 margin. It was a highly rejuvenated group of Fight! Fight! Fight! REVIEW Huskie ball players who showed some three thousands fans that they could do well where the odds were heavily stacked against them. The story of the game was in two crushing pass plays by Port Chester that completely mixed up the Maroon defense. The Huskies scored their second win of the campaign by turning back F. E. Bellows of Mamaroneck by the score of 19-13 at Daniel Warren Field. Harrison scored two of their touchdowns by intercepting two Bellows' passes and con- verting them into touchdowns. The game reached an excit- ing climax when Bellows, threatening to score, was on the Huskie two yard line. With their backs to the wall the Ma- roons' fine defense dug in and stopped their opponent's final surge, thus ending the contest. Edison Tech defeated the Harrison Huskies in a S.W.I.A.C. contest at Mount Vernon by the score of 25-12. The Tech- men tallied for three touchdowns in the first and one more in the second to build a substantial 26-0 lead at halftime. In the second half the tide turned as the Huskies came alive and thoroughly outplayed Edison. Their offensive attack began to click with accurate passes and long runs as they scored twelve points in the second half to tighten the score. A completely out-classed and out-maneuvered, but not out-spirited Huskie team went down to a bitter 45-0 defeat at the hands of the Rye Garnets at Harrison High School. A highly favored Rye team displayed their talents in every phase of the game. Harrison looked good in the first quart- er forcing Rye to kick on fourth downs. In this same quart- er the Maroons put on their only drive of the dreary after noon only to lose possession of the ball on the Garnets' six- teen yard line. Although the Huskies chalked up an unimpressive 2-6 record, they showed great signs of improvement as the sea- son progressed- Harrison will have primarily the same team back next year except for the loss of two seniors on the varsity lineup. These two, Mike Papaleo and Bruce Shaw, will be greatly missed on the gridiron next year. Gene Fedele Bill Furman Vin Nicita Bill Colangalo George Carlin Line: G. Carlin, B. Colangelo, M. Falco, S. Straface, W. Furman, B. Shaw, R. Kirschenbaum. Backfield: F. Castiglia, G. Fedele, R. Basso, V. Nicita. Absent: M. Papaleo. VARSITY FOOTBALL The 1954 Harrison Huskie team was a young and inexperienced one, consisting mainly of Soph- omores and Juniors. There were only two Seniors on the squad, Mike Papaleo and Bruce Shaw. Mike did a wonderful job at Left End, and in recognition of his fine performance won Honorable Mention in the News All-County Team. Bruce, playing at the ob- scure yet vital post of Left Guard did an outstanding job all sea- son. The starting lineup for the Maroons was: Left End, Mike Papaleo; Left Tackle, Bill Colan- gelo; Left Guard, Bruce Shaw; Center, Bill Furman; Right Guard, Jim Straface; Right Tackle, Mario Falco,- Right End, George Carlin; Quarterback, Gene Fedele; Left Halfback, Vin Nicita; Right Half- back, Fred Castiglia; Fullback, Ralph Basso. Also seeing much action were Anthony lacovelli, Anthony Car- piniello, Russ Kirschenbaum, Guy Protano, Frank Tamucci, Frank Sollazzo, Fred Olsen, Jim Flana- gan, and Steve Mauro. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The future strength of the Huskie Varsity depends, in large measure, on the Junior Varsity. Here, the future Varsity men know the fundamentals of football and through participation in interscholastic J.V. games, gain valuable experience. This year, due to the increased number of under-classmen on the Varsity squad, many Freshmen and Sophomores found positions available to them on the Junior Varsity squad. Harrison's J.V. record this year was 3 games won and 4 games lost, lonsistent improvement was shown, however, throughout the season and next year mem- bers of the team will furnish the Varsity with contenders for the positions left va- cant by graduating lettermen.

The Huskies, under the direction of Coach Fred Fiore, showed tremendous im- provement in both their offensive and defensive ability, copping second place in the S. W. I. A. C. (South Westchester Interscholastic Athletic Conference) and ending the season with eleven wins and six losses. The first game of the season, against Edison Tech, showed that the Maroons were out to avenge their poor showing of the previous year. Harrison's famous fast break was the determining factor in the 50-37 victory. Harrison High met a weak F. E. Bellows squad in their second S. W. I. A. C. contest. The Maroon and White, with their accurate shooting and smart floor work coasted to an easy 53-35 victory. The Huskies tasted defeat for the first time when they dropped a heart- breaking decision to Pleasantville in an overtime by the score of 65-60. This even contest was ended by a Pleasantville scoring spurt in the overtime period. The Harrison cagers trounced Blessed Sacrament of New Rochelle 76-45 at Iona College. Nowhere in the season was the Huskies' fast break better dem- onstrated then in this victory over the Cardinals. In a non-league game the Maroon and White lost to Port Chester by the score of 53-49. The Huskies were defeated by a tall Eastchester team by a score of 56-55 al the H. H. S. court. The sickness-riddled Maroon team tried hard to overtake the Eagles but their virus handicap proved to be too great. The Harrison cagers battled both a powerful Rye team and the virus success- fully, defeating the Garnets in their greatest court triumph of the year by the score of 60-53. A highly spirited and highly determined Huskie squad displayed both a sound offense and defense in this outstanding victory. The Maroon and White pulled ahead of Hastings, a strong newcomer to the S. W. I. A. C, in the closing minutes of the game to cop a 52-50 decision. The close contest showed both displaying speed and accuracy with a final scoring burst responsible for Harrison victory. Averaging their first loss at the hands of Port Chester, the Huskies defeated the Rams by a score of 32-27 on the H. H. S. court. m BRIEFS For the second time the Maroons trounced Edison, this time by the score of 77-56. Harrison's display of shooting accuracy proved to be too much for the tall Techmen. It was a much improved and much determined Bellows squad that the Huskies faced in their next S. W. I. A. C. game. Not until the final period was the 52-37 Huskie victory assured. Harrison High defeated Pleasantville in their second meeting by the score of 37-34. Thiis impressive victory made up for their previous loss at the hands of the Panthers. Again the Maroons swamped a tall but slow Blessed Sacrament team by the score of 61-47. The speed of the Huskies was again the determining factor. The Maroon and White, this time unhampered by illness, won a decisive victory over the Eastchester Eagles by the score of 57-39. In the deciding contest of the S. W. I. A. C. League, the Huskies fought to no avail against a powerful Rye team. The Garnet's shooting accuracy was the prin- cipal reason for their 69-54 victory. Up against a Class A Mamaroneck team the Huskies were turned back by a score of 50-57. The Harrison cagers managed to stay close to their opponent until the final moment, when they were edged out by a final Tiger spurt. The final game of the season was perhaps the most heartbreaking for the Maroons. A close-fought battle, the game with the speedy Hastings quintet was lost in double or sudden death overtime by the score of 50-48. As a whole the season was one of the most successful in many years. The Huskies were tied for second place in the S. W. I. A. C. by the Eastchester Eagles. The 11-6 record was a great improvement over the three scant wins of the pre- vious year. Another heartening feature to Harrison fans lies in the fact that next year's team will consist mostly of returning lettermen. There is also much potential talent, but the three seniors the Huskies will lose through graduation, Dino Fabrizio, Walt Fallani, and Frank Goldschmidt, will be sorely missed on the court. Row 1: R.

Only three members of the 1954-55 squad were Seniors; Frank Goldschmidt, Walt Fallani, and Dino Fabrizio. Dino Fabrizio, the speediest member of the sqaud, turned in a fine offensive job as a back court man and was noted for his excellent defense all season. Walt Fallani, one of the team's co- captains, was noted for his excellent de- fensive work. He was consistently among the team's top scorers and won Honor- able Mention on the All S.W.I.A.C. team. Frank Goldschmidt, also a co-captain, was the Huskies' scoring ace, and also gained notice for his fine work under the backboards. Berths on the All S.W.I.A.C. team, Honorable Mention News All- County Team, and Honorable Mention Westchester All-County Team as well as his reception of the Con Edison Award mark him as a top-notch player. Although the Huskies will miss the ef- forts of these three, most of the squad returns next year and so the Maroons will again look for a successful season. Row 1: J. Casale, A. Carpinello, R. Santucci. Row 2: P. Rosenbaum, C. Williams, F. Sollazzo, B. Tolchin, B. Colangelo, D. Carpenter. Absent: F. Tamucci, S. AAauro. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL A new ruling concerning Junior Var- sity Basketball was put into effect this season. In previous years all students not qualified for the Varsity team were al- lowed to belong to the J.V. squad. Real- izing, however, that the J.V. is really a training ground for future Varsity play- ers, and that many promising youngsters were not given enough opportunities to play, the coaches decided to limit the J.V. ranks to Freshmen and Sophomores only. If a Freshmen or Sophomore can qualify for Varsity competition, however, he may belong to the Varsity squad. Because of the new arrangement, this year's showing was not as good as hoped for, with 5 wins and 12 losses. However, with the experience thus gained the Huskies look forward to a great season next year. GIRLS' The girls' intramural sport program draws a large attendance from partici- pants in grades 8-12. The program is under the supervision of Mrs. Anne Don- ley who, with the assistance of Leaders' Club, sets up the various sport schedules. Volleyball and basketball constitute the program for the fall and winter seasons, while the spring season lends itself to badminton, tennis, archery, and softball. Managers are chosen for each sport and SPORTS it is their responsibility to schedule games, obtain voluntary referees and scorers, and keep a record of the sea- son's wins .and losses. Those girls whose participation in vol- leyball, basketball and softball proves to be exceptionally good are chosen to be members of the respective honor teams. The program is designed to give each girl a chance to develop her best talent and skill. HONOR VOLLEYBALL Row 1: J. Swertfeger, M. MacDonald, R. Schiesinger, A. Fiore, A.

BASEBALL TEAM Recovering from a rather disappointing record of one win in thirteen games, the 1955 Harrison Huskie baseball squad prom- ises to be one of the strongest in several years. The positions left vacant by gradu- ates have been filled with youngsters who show much promise. The Harrison squad is packed with po- tential power and shows signs of coming up from last years defeat with new vigor. Under the able coaching of Mr. Fred Fiore, the Huskies will be strong contenders for the S.W.I.A.C. crown. All Harrisonites are looking forward to a fine season with many victories. Row 1: H.

This year the team will be a young, but promising one. The squad has many fine competitors, most of them lacking only in experience. All in all, the Huskie team prom- ises to be a strong contender for League honors. It is with these facts in mind that the Harriison Huskies look forward to a suc- cessful track season under the able leadership of coach Al Young. Row 1: Coach Young, T. Greason, T. Galyon, D.

GOLF TEAM Harrison High offers opportu- nities to those students proficient in golf by having a golf team that regularly competes with teams from other schools. The golf team last year had a mod- erately successful season, with 4 wins and 4 losses. This year, with almost the whole squad re- turning, and with the able coach- ing of Mr. R. Havington we are confident of a successful season. 91 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The members of the staff wish to express their appreciation to our advisor, Mr. Hallett and to all those who worked earnestly and diligently to make the publication of this yearbook possible.
