Hempstead High School - Colonial Yearbook (Hempstead, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1952 volume:

DEDICATION “|” WENTY-FIVE years ago, Miss Nell Foster stepped through the faculty entrance of the little white school- house as a commercial teacher. Gentle and softspoken, she gained the respect and admiration of her students by her enthusiasm and cheerful, quiet humor. Here, at Hemp- stead High, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the busy world of clubs and classes, becoming the advisor to the Student Council, advisor to the Colonial Business Staff, and this year, head of the Commercial Department. Now, after years of outstanding service, she plans to retire to a life of travel and leisure. We, the staff of the 1952 Colonial, are proud to dedi- cate our book to this fine teacher and personality, as a token of our thanks and appreciation for her loyal and outstanding service to Hempstead High. We wish her Godspeed. FORE WORD A FEW decades ago there stood, in a small, thriving town seventeen miles from Manhattan, a little white schoolhouse. Two hundred boys and girls from five to eighteen came reluctantly, philosophically, and even gaily to this hall o' lamin'. Pupils of the elementary school romped through the lower halls while those of higher rank romped, more sedately perhaps, through the upper cor- ridors. Then a familiar ring echoed through the building. Slowly the chatter abated as seats were taken and books opened. The five brilliant and courageous members of the faculty steeled themselves for another hectic day of drills, lectures and examinations. But tempus fugit and as the years passed many changes were made. As the student body grew, so did the faculty, until the upper classmen occupied their own build- ing. School spirit reached its peak, clubs were organized, the football eleven was rivaled by baseball and basket- ball teams, musical societies were formed, student privi- leges increased and new subjects swamped the curriculum. But these changes did not go unnoticed for the school yearbook recorded them faithfully. And like the Colonial of old, we, the staff of '52, present this year's edition for your enjoyment. For although it may change outwardly, inwardly Hempstead High will always remain the same in the heart of all its alumni as it will in the memories of future graduates. ON the third Thursday of every month, upon entering the School Superintendent's Office, one finds a busy group of people discussing the financial affairs and policies of our school system. These persons, who meet regularly to discuss and decide upon important matters, are members of the Board of Education. At its open meetings, the Board devotes long hours in reaching decisions and formulat- ing policies in connection with running a school system. The members of the Board of Education pass judg- ment on all building additions and alterations. Our new Band Box is a result of their deliberations. As representatives elected by the taxpayers, their main duty is to see that the school system is managed as smoothly and efficiently as possible. These village residents who are most generous with their time are prominent business men and women in Hemp- stead and nearby towns. While trying to provide us with the very best of school equipment and build- ings, the Board must also avoid spending more tax money than is entrusted to it. We speak for the entire student body when we say how much we appreciate the time, effort and results of our Board of Education. II BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to right.

Kincaid, Superinten- dent of Schools; Robert J. Hartnett, Secretary. DR. W. AMOS KINCAID Superintendent IN THE eyes of Dr. Amos Kincaid, Hempstead High School is | getting better by the day. Hempstead High was indeed fortunate to have Dr. Kincaid come to our school in 1947. In the five years that he has been here, Dr. Kincaid has devoted limitless time and energy to improve school conditions in our community. Some of his numerous duties and responsibilities as Superin- tendent of Hempstead Schools involve hiring and assigning teachers and arranging in-service training for the staff. The general adminis- tration of all schools in District One is also supervised by our Super- intendent of schools. Dr. Kincaid was born in Ohio and attended school and college there. Coming to New York, he earned his Masters Degree and Doctor of Education at Columbia University. Among Dr. Kincaid's leisure activities are music, bridge and golf, but above all, fishing. He spends what little time he has for himself enjoying these recreations. His preference in food runs to thick, juicy steaks. 12 OFFICE I AND IA OFFICES I and IA take care of all the school district business in matters relating to the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools. This includes all financial matters and bonded indebtedness of the district and of its one high school and six elementary schools. The various state, federal and bond reports, payrolls, withholding tax, civil service and retirement records, and the recording, analysis and distribution of the cost of each school are handled through this office. The rental of and repairs to all school buildings and other school properties, and the purchasing of supplies and equipment are conducted by these offices. Matters relating to non- resident students as well as the banking and accounting of the High School Cafeteria Fund and the sixty or more High School Activities Accounts are also handled here. Hilda Hardy Margaret Doty Amelia Cave Jeanette Siegmann Edith Schwedes Audrey VanDuzee THIS year, the Colonial extends its heartiest welcome to our new principal, Mr. William D. Beddow. Although the position is new to him, it is novel in name only, as Mr. Beddow has been our assist- ant principal for seventeen years. With such a background of ex- perience, our new principal is sure to be a great success. Mr. Beddow hails from Long Island, and is an alumnus of Muhlen- berg University and the University of Madrid, where he spent a very memorable summer. Beginning his teaching career in Hempstead High, our principii taught Spanish here for twelve years. Mr. Beddow, although a very busy man, still has time for his hobbies, family, and favorite sports, namely: tennis and bowling. Always ready to drop everything and go on a fishing trip, he even at one time owned and operated a fish hatchery, which more than paid for itself. His summers are now spent enjoying life with his family at his cabin in the Catskills. WILLIAM D. BEDDOW Principal 14 ' OFFICE SECRETARIES THE school secretaries in offices two, three, four and five who work as assistants to the administration have many responsibilities which require a great deal of skill and abi ity. These ladies are kept constantly busy with their numerous tasks and are considered by their superiors to be invaluable. The counsellors are able to spend more time solving serious, individual problems while the time-saving secretaries assist stu- dents with clerical problems. These problems can usually be taken care of in a matter of minutes without disturbing any of the immediate superiors. Among their other duties, the secretaries do some bookkeeping, make appoint- ments, adjust schedules, type notices, file records and perform other general jobs. Their many duties provide a great amount of work and leave little time for leisure during the school day; yet a few of the young women attend night classes at college. Below are pictured these helpful young women. Miss Merrick and Miss Ronnerman are assistants to Mr. Pill in office five. Miss Rich and Mrs. Pashley are the assistants to our principal in office three. In office four you will find Miss Kubick, Miss Kinsey and Miss Duryea always ready to introduce you to the personnel of their office. Last but not least is Miss Ward, assistant in office two. Sometime during your career in High School you will have occasion to meet and be helped by these assistants. May Duryea Joan Kinsey Frances Kubick Jane Merrick Ethel Pashley Greta Rich Eunice Ronnermann Mary Elizabeth Ward 15 NO doubt most of the students in Hempstead High School are familiar with Mr. Windt, our new assistant to the principal, whose job it is to supervise the work of office two. Mr. Windt and the members of his department are in charge of the discipline and attendance problems of the student body. The athletic program of the school is supervised by Mr. Windt who in addition authorizes the formation of new clubs and organizations. Extracur- ricular activities and records pertaining to the point system are also under his juris- diction. Hailing from Rochester, Mr. Windt came to Hempstead High in 1939 after gradu- ating from Cornell and obtaining his Mas- ter's at Columbia. Prior to his present posi- tion, he taught mathematics in our school and has been faculty advisor of the Pre- Engineering Club in previous years. Besides enjoying music, Mr. Windt, a Yankee fan, is interested in sports, especially bowling and hiking. He is also co-author of the book, Everyday Algebra. We wish him well in his new position. 16 ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS THE administrative assistants work many hours to enable our students to outline their courses in accordance with their fu- ture plans and to help them with their school problems. Mrs. Foster, Dean of Girls, helps girls with attendance, and other school prob- lems; in addition she supervises their gen- eral conduct. Mrs. Foster also works with the teachers in regard to their attendance registers. This year Mr. Pill advises the Junior and Senior college preparatory students and assists them in the selection of colleges suitable to their individual needs. The schedules of upperclassmen in the Commercial and General courses are ar- ranged by Mr. Turnbull who helps them select those subjects best suited for their chosen vocations. Miss MacDougall, Sophomore counselor, assists the members of the Sophomore class in planning their program and conducts periodic personal interviews. The Freshmen are counseled by Mr. Wat- son and Mr. Prahl who endeavor to start them off in the right direction. The guidance department and teachers may refer students with personality or study problems to Mrs. Walters, the school psy- chologist. Mrs. Walters also gives individual aptitude tests. Mrs. Hueston, Registrar, sends tran- scripts of school records to colleges where our students seek admission. Mr. E. C. Moore trains the Audio-Visual Squad in the handling of the film and sound equipment in room 18a. Louise Hueston Anne MacDougall James Turnbull Hazel Foster Emilie Walters 17 ART AND LITERATURE THIS busy art class, ably instructed by Mr. Pilking- ton, is working on a number of geometric figures from which they will develop an abstract design. These students work on various problems in art, solved according to their own artistic abilities and talents. Many phases of art are studied and in each phase special emphasis is placed on the individual's self expression. Our libraries, supervised by Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Cul- len and Mrs. Anderson, provide a quiet and studious atmosphere for those students who wish to do refer- ence work or just read for pleasure.

PIERCE is here offering helpful advice to the High School's symphonic orchestra. The music students greatly appreciate these suggestions, since they realize that they will be a contributing factor in making the next concert their greatest success. The dramatic societies in the High School look not only for acting ability, but also for back-stage assist- ants. The men behind the scenes are equally as impor- tant in a stage production as the actors. These unseen workers sometimes go on from High School to become directors, producers or stage hands. With them they carry a generous knowledge of show business gained through participation in high school dramatics. Left to right, top row: Celine Young. Second row: Sonia Dorwin. Gertrude Gunther.

The shrinking of the world brought about by faster means of communication has caused foreign languages to become more important than ever before. In order to understand other countries one must also understand their language and customs. Our schools teach the more important for- eign languages as well as the culture, history and civilization of the people. Hempstead High School offers French, Latin, German and Spanish to college pre- paratory students who must have at least two years of a language to their credit before most colleges will consider them for admission. Students who wish to acquire greater fluency and ease in a particular language may study it for as many as four years in our high school. Shown above is a group of Miss Gun- ther's second year German students ex- amining a collection of delicate china from Meissen, Germany. Adios, Vale, Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir. 20 MATHEMATICS FEW of us escape the trials and tribula- tions of elementary algebra. Many things will slip from the minds of the pupils pic- tured here but they will long remember Mr. Smith's words transpose that term and find the lowest common denominator. This classroom scene is representative of the many math classes in our school. Math has become an extremely impor- tant subject in our atomic, jet-propelled age. Most students preparing for college find it helpful to take all the courses offered and the non-college students find many courses which will be useful in business and industry. For those who want, to go beyond the classroom in the study of math, the depart- ment offers the Tupiar Club where many interesting discussions are held. At a recent meeting of the club Mr. Smith gave an interesting and informative talk on the his- tory of mathematics. Lett to right. Top row: Robert Hayes. Robert Ayres, Donald Francis.

Our Commercial Depart- ment strives to prepare our students for business careers by offering a wide variety of subjects. Busi- ness law, the ever-important shorthand and typing, business arithmetic and retailing are some of the subjects which the Commercial Department offers its students. The retailing students are instructed under the supervision of Mr. Davidson, who helps them oper- ate our school store, the Blue and White Corner. He also assists these students in locating and hold- ing positions as sales personnel in many well-known stores in Hempstead. The commercial teachers have done and are doing a wonderful job training their pupils for bet- ter occupations after graduation. After a few years in industry, many graduates from this department are promoted to high-ranking business positions with outstanding business firms. 22 ENGLISH MRS. MARTIN'S second year English class seems extremely interested in what their teacher is telling them at the moment. Here we see them participating in a discussion of the Shake- speare classic, The Merchant of Venice. Every student is required to study English for the entire four years he spends in Hempstead High School. During these years a great deal of time is spent acquiring a lasting and good English back- ground from the study and enjoyment of prose and poetry, both modern and classic. Much of the time is also spent in reviewing grammar and composition. An additional English class is offered for Seniors who enjoy writing and who wish to improve their work and style with extra guidance and assistance. This class is called Creative Writing. In many classrooms the old familiar furniture has been replaced by tables and chairs of the seminar type, providing the class with a more informal aspect.

With the aid of this model Mr. Beckett explains the function of the body to his science class. General Science is a required subject of every Freshman. Many of these pupils will continue their studies of science by taking either Biology, Physics, Chemistry or Earth Science. A considerable number of Hempstead students plan to become doctors, nurses, dentists or scientists, and the Science department offers the subjects that are required for entrance to colleges and universities. Although the study of science requires hard work it is interesting and rewarding. Left to right, top row: A. Franklin Faust, Tord Beck, Dan- iel Beckett, Margaret Beighley. Royal Benner.

MISS ABBOTT is shown here conducting one of her social studies classes. The course in history which is taught at Hempstead High School deals not only with history of days gone by, but current history as well. Social Studies is considered one of our most important courses because it gives the student a knowledge of economical, political and world affairs. It aims to develop in the student a keener insight into world problems and to discover new ideas from which today's youth might build a better tomorrow. The classes are conducted in an informal manner accented with lively classroom discussions which tend to make the course extremely interesting. SOCIAL STUDIES HEALTH AND PHYSICAL FITNESS THE Health Office, established for the use of the pupils and teachers, has been an im- mense help in protecting the health of our school body. Miss Best and Mrs. Marsden, the school nurses, are present each period of the day to render medical attention to those requiring it. The boys of Hempstead High are given every opportunity to enable them to participate in athletics. They are offered a great variety of sports, which include football, basketball and wrestling, to name a few. The girls, too, take part in athletics. Among the sports offered to girls are softball, basketball and volleyball. Left to right, top row: Dr. H. M. Phipps. Virginia Best. Helen Ma'sden, Alfred Nilsson. Second row: Alfred Voorhies.

Mabel Davis, Wilbur Monsell, Sam Cramblet. Stuart Dale. Richard Parker. Second row: Harold Rowe. Henry Schaedel. Harold Williams. THE Homemaking department is divided into three groups. The girls who study food, and nutrition, learn the fundamentals of cooking as well as the planning and serving of well balanced meals. Clothing is the third division of the Homemaking department. In this important field the girls are taught the use of patterns, sewing machines and also how to choose materials for dressmaking. Four shops are provided for the Industrial Arts Department in Prospect Street School. Auto mechanics, electricity, radio repair, and ceramics are only a few of the many subjects which pre- pare these boys for their future jobs. 27 s a s s v i o SENIOR CLASS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right.

This past year, you saw your school, its prob- lems, activities, and studies, with the eyes of Seniors! Seniors, soon to graduate, with four never-to-be-forgotten years of hard work and study, combined with fun and exhilarating ac- tivities behind you. Some of you will go to col- leges, others take jobs, and still others will go down the many paths of specialization. Perhaps you will become business executives, secretaries, professional men and women, skilled workers, clergymen, or artists—but whatever your career you will meet people from all walks of life and the knowledge acquired in these four years will be at all times and places an invaluable asset. Your first year at Hempstead, excited by the big high school, you gradually became accus- tomed to the new way of life. Some of you went out for sports, others dramatics, music, and art. In the second year, classes became routine, but school was never dull. You met new people, joined clubs, spent your lunch hours at Louis’, dated, and studied. Junior year and you still found new paths to explore. Then, finally and best, this, your Senior year. Guided by your advisors, Mr. Lints, and Miss Rhodes, you have tried to leave behind memo- ries which, you hope, will not be soon forgotten. Your class officers, Art Szeglin, President: 30 Paula Cahill, Vice-President; Eleanor Helms, Sec- retary; and Dick Martin, Treasurer, have helped you immensely in your cause. Art Szeglin, the class president, not only held this high office, but also that of the president of the Senior Executive Council, captain of the wrestling team, member of the Student Council, besides being a Varsity Football player and a track man. He spent his leisure time walking, reading, listening to good music and dancing, not to mention practicing on the athletic field. After graduation, Art embarks on an engineering career with college preparation at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. In addition to being the guardian of the funds, Dick Martin was also the co-captain of the football and baseball teams, treasurer of the Senior Executive Council, and a member of the Varsity Club and the Varsity basketball team. His love for all sports was matched by his love for food. Interested in engineering, Dick planned to attend either Princeton or West Point, where, besides studying, he looks forward to taking an active part in the athletic activities offered in both schools. Your Veep, Paula Cahill, was quite active at Hempstead. She was the Vice-President of the Senior Executive Council and belonged to the Principal's Service Squad. An active member of the Footlight Club, she appeared in many of their productions. Paula enjoyed walking, danc- ing, and acting. Planning to become a nurse, she will study at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City. Eleanor Helms, who kept the minutes, was also the secretary of the Senior Executive Council, a cheerleader, and a Junior Secretary. She found swimming, drawing, basketball, and baseball pleasant ways to spend her spare time. After graduation, Eleanor plans to attend Art School and become a dress designer. So, as you can see, it is no wonder that you have prospered under their fine and excellent leadership. With the full cooperation of every- one, they made your Senior Ball a huge success. Each of you has contributed in some way to make your class what it is today. You leave Hempstead with a heavy heart, for you will surely miss the crowded halls, your friends, and your teachers. Yet you realize that all good things must come to an end, as the adage expresses it. With your four happy years at Hempstead High School completed and behind you, you will branch out into your chosen field and occupa- tion, most of you to become successful if not in a big way, at least in the ways that count. Yes, you are truly standing at the crossroads of life and what your future will be beyond the blue horizon you can not know, but whatever it is, it will depend on you, your faith and your char- acter.

All too soon the music swung to an end, and the confetti and masks that covered the floor told the story of another festival drawn to a close. And the happy but tired Creoles bear- ing glittering masks, clowns, and even the tail souvenirs of that never-to-be-forgotten night went wearily home to dream of an evening of excitement, glamour and romance at the Mardi Gras. Left to right: N. Ash, A. Szeglin, S. Zentrich, R. Winicke. CLOUDS of confetti and bright-colored streamers swirling among festive balloons. Pasteboard clowns grinning mischievously amidst the glitter and sparkle—gay music mingled with laughter whirling higher and higher. Masks gleaming with sequins turned into gay Harle- quins and Columbines—the thrilled members of the senior class and their bright-eyed dates. The Mardi Gras! Effectively carrying out this fanciful theme were Chairman Paula Cahill and her competent committee — Dick Martin, who handled the tickets: Artie Szeglin, on heavy work, to transform ideas into sparkling reality, and Charlie Maass, engaging the musicians, who completed the transformation of the boys' gym into a street of New Orleans, seething with the mystery, excite- ment and thrills that go to make up the Mardi Gras. Chaperoning this glittering festival of make-believe were Mr. and Mrs. Levin and Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, as captivated by the carnival as were the entranced seniors. The dancers swayed to the dreamy Dixie-land beat of Bob La Drew, in style true to the New Orleans setting. As light-headed as the multi- colored balloons which floated about them, the crowd was caught and held by the gay abandon of the Mardi Gras. 58 SENIOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL SHORTLY after school opens each year, the members of each Senior social studies class elect a fellow classmate to represent them on the Senior Executive Council. Each member of the social studies class has an opportunity to voice his opinion on a topic he feels should be brought before the entire Senior Class. The council meets once a month to dis- cuss these problems and to offer possible solu- tions. It is the representative's responsibility to re- port his classmates' views at the council meetings for discussion. The representative relays this dis- cussion and other information to his social studies class, gets its reactions and then takes action at the next council meeting. The class color, motto and flower are chosen through this group and the votes of each mem- ber of the Senior Class. This year the voting for class themes revealed that the graduating class has chosen violet and silver for class colors, the white orchid as class flower and Experience is an arch to build upon, as its motto. They also decided to follow the custom started by the class of '51 of holding commencement exercises in the Calderone Theater. The committee chair- men for the Senior Ball and Senior-Frosh party were chosen from the Senior Executive Council. The members also collect one dollar in Senior dues from their social studies classmates. The officers of the Senior class automatically become the officers of the council. This group helps to represent democratically every member of the Senior class in a school organization. Left to right. Row I: Mr. Tree, Mrs. Dendy, P. Cahill, A. Szeglin, D. Martin, E.

The class of fifty-three has shown lively interest in both world-wide, local and scholastic problems. Because of the current world situation the youth of today is faced with tremendous problems. The Juniors are preparing themselves now for adult life with its increased responsibilities and added uncertainties brought on by a troubled world. Undaunted, they have high ambitions for the future. Whatever their aim or goal, these ambitious and active pre- Seniors strive their hardest to fulfill these hopes, moreover, we re sure they will succeed. The class of fifty-three is also well represented in the various societies, service groups, honor clubs and the many social, educational, sport clubs and teams. This year's Junior Class has wisely chosen four very capable leaders as their officers. Bob Wishart, an avid sports enthusiast and member of the Tupiar, French and Varsity Clubs, was elected to head his class as president. Bob intends to study at Amherst College. Assist- ing Bob in his presidential duties is attractive 60 Drum-Majorette, Cariotta Paetow. Cariotta is a member of the A Cappella Choir and also an Advisor Aide. An honor student all through high school she is naturally a member of the Pen and Ink Club, the upper class girls' honor club. Cariotta hopes to attend Middlebury College when she graduates from Hempstead High School. The secretarial obligations of the Junior Class are taken care of by Dale Molter. Vivacious Dale, a cheerleader, and member of the French and Tupiar Clubs is also on this year's Colonial Staff. Her ambition is to become a biologist, and to study at nearby Hofstra College. The problems of money handling were left to Leigh Burns. Leigh, who is a very active member of the Footlight Club, Band and Orchestra, plans to teach music after attending Ohio State Uni- versity. Leigh was in charge of collecting fifty cents in dues from each member of the Junior Class. This money goes towards financing the class picture in the Colonial and the Junior Prom. It is also used for scholarship awards and in the presentation of entertaining assemblies. The re- mainder of these dues will be passed on to the class of fifty-four as the Junior Class has done for many previous years. The Junior Prom which is an annual event is looked forward to with much enthusiasm and JUNIOR CLASS ADVISORS Left to right.

This year's Junior class was proud to have Mr. Zara, Miss Dorwin, Miss Abbott, and Miss Taft as their class advisors. These able assistants have provided them with numerous opportunities to advance into the position of Seniors and to be- come the leaders of their high school. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS Left to right: E. Dobler, B. Gage, R. Marino. J. Lynch. SOPHOMORE CLASS THE class of 54 embarked self-confidently on the second year of its high school career. With all the trials and tribulations of their Fresh- man year behind them, it's no wonder they con- sider being a sophomore a state of bliss in addi- tion to an honor. The Sophomores began their year with a will to work and a desire to pass the long-dreaded and talked-about Regents, which they faced for the first time in high school. From among their many new friends they chose Brian Gage to lead his class as president. His personality and ability to win friends was a great asset during the election. Brian, a member of the J. V. basketball team, is a hall cop and a home- room representative. North Carolina is the col- lege foremost in his future plans. He would like to spend two years there and then go on to become an aviation cadet. Vice-President Joan Lynch was elected by her classmates to assist Brian. Joan is president of the Pallas Club and also captain of the Sophomore cheerleaders. Two years of Junior college sound good to Joan. She hopes eventually, to attain a position as a commercial dress buyer. Elsie Dobler was elected Secretary of her class. Her spare time is taken up by the Pallas, Dramatic and German Clubs. She is also Treasurer of the .Junior Secretaries, a very charming cheerleader and a participant in Greek Games. She isn't sure about the college she wants to attend, but she thinks she would like to be a secretary. Bob Marino was chosen to care for the financial affairs of his class. He is an active member of the Dramatics Club and the Latin Club. J. V. football and the track team also consume a great deal of his time. Bob also is not sure of the college he will attend, but he is quite certain he would like to practice law. With such an excellent group of officers the Sophomore Class has come a long way this year. Their class projects have all been most suc- cessful. The Sophomore play, the very successful SOPHOMORE ADVISORS Left to right: Miss Tripp, Miss Ignelzi, Mrs. Greenlund, Mr. McGregor. What a Life and a class party were the high- lights of their school year. The play was pro- duced by the Sophomore Dramatics Club with the collaboration of the entire class. It was staged for the enjoyment of the student body and friends. The new flags that you have seen in a number of class rooms were donated by the Sophomore Class. The money for these flags came from the Sophomore dues. Mrs. Greenlund and her assistants who act as class advisors are always more than willing to help any member of the class who is in need of some sound advice. FRESHMAN CLASS FRESHMEN OFFICERS Left to right. O. Santos. C. Seidel, C. Harrison. J. McClymont. ONE of the most memorable occasions in any one's life is the day he enters high school. This mysterious new world is a mixture of hap- piness and confusion. The first year offers mar- velous opportunities for the ambitious Freshmen and the wonderful occasions to make many new acquaintances are numerous. This year the high school spread out the wel- come mat for more than nine hundred Freshmen who completely disregarded any misinformation given them by upperpranksmen. They were too concerned about their new school life and too anxious to get into the swing of things to even inquire about the alleged swimming pool or sub- way to the Band Box. Getting off to a good start in their choice of class officers, they elected James McClymont to head the slate as President. Jim, an avid sports enthusiast, participated in basketball and track. His spare time is spent in collecting stamps. Jim plans to study electronics at Prince- ton after graduation. Constance Harrison, the vice-president, includes reading and also collect- ing pictures as her hobbies. Connie's ambition is to become a high school teacher after gradua- tion from Cornell. Carl Seidel, class secretary, plans to study engineering upon attending Cor- nell University. He also spends a good deal of his leisure time collecting stamps. Treasurer Olga Santos is an active member of the Spanish and 64 Freshman Dramatics Club. Her favorite pastimes are singing and piano playing. After graduation from both high school and college, she hopes to fulfill her ambition to enter the medical pro- fession. No doubt, after the Freshmen graduate and begin to look back on their four years of high school, the unforgettable Senior Frosh day will remain fresh in their memories. This annual event, which the whole student body looks forward to is the day when the Frosh girls are given the opportunity to sport clothes that they might have been seen in at the age of six or even younger. They must carry an ample supply of lollypops which are distributed to the senior girls who are dressed as mothers. All this is followed by the Senior-Frosh party where the senior girls choose a freshman for the most original costume, an- other of the cutest smile and still another for the most typical Freshman aspect. Fifteen cents in dues is contributed by each Freshman to their class treasury. This money pays for the Freshman page in the Colonial and the Freshman party which takes place in the spring and is attended by as many Freshmen as it can hold. The remaining funds in the treasury are used towards the scholarships prize awarded each year to the boy and girl in the Freshman Class who has attained the highest average for the school year. This year as in the past, Miss Farrior and Miss Joyce were the class advisors and ably assisted their proteges and these aspiring Seniors on their road to success.

Supported by Mr. McGregor and Miss New- lon, Gail Moore energetically presides over all meetings. Completing the executive board are Mary Ann Selvaggio and Pat Leckie, Vice-Presi- dent; Bonnie Lewin, Secretary; Helen Sormani, Treasurer, and Joyce Robin, Parliamentarian. The council has had a busy schedule this year, for besides its usual sponsoring of G. O. ticket sales, its members have revised the point system and discussed plans for a new constitution. For two weeks the council played host to Chung- Wha-Lee, a Korean delegate to this country, acquainting her with our school life and out- side activities. The council also planned the G. O. show, decorated the school at Christmas, and, by visiting and participating in various youth and high school organizations, provided its members with many constructive ideas for future activities.

These Homeroom Treasurers conducted the sale of G. O. tickets and the Community Chest collection. During October, a Homeroom Repre- sentative and alternate were chosen by a major- ity vote of the students in each homeroom to replace the Homeroom Treasurer. These Reps collect money for local and nation-wide activ- ities and distribute The Patriot to all G. O. ticket holders. This year the officers of the Homeroom Repre- sentatives include Alvin Fritz, President; Frank Schenk, Vice-President; Peggy Lobdell, Secretary, and Richard Jacoves, Treasurer. These officers were chosen by a majority vote at a Homeroom Rep meeting. The Homeroom ' Reps are a group of hard- working students who give their time and efforts to money-raising ventures. This organization has been in existence for many years. Can you imagine how few Reps there were ten years ago when about fifteen hundred less students walked through the halls of Hempstead High?

YOU may lose it, you may mislay it, in the years ahead it may just disappear—but it you so much as get one small mention in it, or a black smudge in a group picture looking even a little like you— You Will Never Forget the 1952 Colonial! And that goes double for all who helped to produce this scin- tillating, colossal, terrific composite of extraordinary talent. The experience gained in producing this masterpiece was invaluable and the result very gratifying—to us. We hope you like it, too! Now, meet those who lived through the happy time! Elsa Steinbrenner, Editor-in-Chief, was responsible for the Art, Business and Editorial Staffs. She was assisted by Eleanor Hoegl, editor of the Art Staff which produced the captivating cartoons and drawings, supervised by Mrs. Oman. Outstanding assistants to the Art Editor were Anna Straka, Jacqueline Cody and Paul Heinemann. 70 COLONIAL EDITORS Left to right. Row I: G. Swindler, M. Meiselman, E. Steinbrenner, R. Jacoves.

Advisor to the Editorial Staff was Mr. Menza. The man upon whose shoulders fell the full weight of responsibility for the complete produc- tion job from start to finish was Mr. Ayres. Small wonder if his shoulders have drooped somewhat. The theme of this year's book, illustrated by the drawings of the art staff, is a comparison of the school of today with that of yesterday.

ORGANIZED in 1917, the Patriot, Hemp- stead High's newspaper, is one of the more important and outstanding contributions to school life. Under the supervision of Mr. Goldy, with Mr. Murphy as assistant advisor, and Mr. Navarra, as head of the business staff, this hard-working group produces a bi-monthly school paper for the enjoyment of the entire school body. After being accepted on the staff of the newspaper, the cub starts as either a headline writer or reporter, with advancement following as a result of unusual interest and work on the staff. One of the several enjoyable columns of the Patriot is Introducing, a feature on two top students selected for that issue and an interview with a teacher, both of which provide an excel- lent opportunity for meeting intimately our fel- PATRIOT ADVISORS Left to right, standing: Mr. Navarra, Mr. Murphy Seated: Mr. Goldy.

The Rebel, the April Fool's Day edition, al- though looked forward to with eagerness, did not make its usual visit this year. Among the newly added columns this year are Around-the-Loop, an exchange column by Ray Gillott, and Laissez-Faire,'' a column of anecdotes by Martin Sklaire. In the sports de- partment, too, changes have taken place. With Donald Pooters, sports editor, writing the major- ity of the popular Tiger Tales columns, three sports writers, Harold Mailer, Connie Arena and Richard Jacoves, have alternated as the writers of the column for a period of time. Despite all these fine features and expensive make-up, The Patriot sells at an amazingly low price. To G. O. ticketholders, The Patriot is free; while the cost to non-ticketholders is five cents a copy. Each year the editor-in-chief and managing editor choose the following year's editors. Fill- ing the role of editor-in-chief this year is Doris Muller, assisted by Carole Levine, managing editor. Holding other important positions are Carole Bates, copy editor; Elizabeth Mueller, headline editor; Ray Gillott, exchange editor, and Business Managers George Eisenlau and Richard Pittman. This past year The Patriot adopted as its mascot a coconut with a rather hideous looking face, which was named Joe Rebel. Joe was sent to the staff from Biloxi, Mississippi. In the spring the editors of The Patriot at- tended the annual Columbia Scholastic Press meeting which convened in New York. All the members of the organization join in the yearly party, which is held late in June. Our congratulations and thanks to the entire staff of the Patriot for its hard work and fine achievements in 1952. 73 SENIOR SERVICE SQUAD THE Senior Girls' Service Squad was the first office squad in Hempstead High School. Through the years other squads have been formed to help in various offices, but the Senior Girls' Service Squad still continues to assist the Registrar with her many and varied duties. There are twenty-four girls in this organization. Each girl serves one period a day and, in addition, is given a short late duty assign- ment. Some are receptionists, while others do typing and filing or assist in a variety of ways. Left to right. Row I: B. Schmidt, B. Ciravelo, D. Martens. Mrs. Hueston. T. Efthimion, J. Wunsch, J. Huntley.

These girls often work with the secretarial help in the Registrar's office who are such an essential part of our school. They thereby learn many fine secretarial practices. 74 JUNIOR SECRETARIES THIS year the girls in office two have been busier than ever because of the increase in the student body. Mrs. Foster, their advisor, has had to appoint eighty-seven efficient girls to perform the many tasks—a number differing greatly from the twelve girls who constituted the membership of the Junior Secretaries when the club was first organized. Even now the membership does not equal the need. The girls perform the many duties of a secretary, including tele- phoning, typing, filing and running errands. Each staff member must Left to right.

ADVISOR AIDES ANY Freshman who has been called to Room 80 at any time has made the acquaintance of the advisor aides. This capable service organ- ization has been a great help to the grade advisors, whose function it is to interview all Freshmen and help them with their problems. This year there were twenty-two members, both boys and girls, who were chosen for their character, their dependability and, above all, their honesty. These traits and qualities are most important because of the confidential nature of the records, which must be kept on the premises. The boys usually run the errands and deliver the slips; the girls do the filing, write out the slips, and keep the records in order. Each girl has her own file which lists the grades of every student. With the help of this file the aide makes the appointments for Freshmen with failing grades. Everything must be done neatly and accurately in order that no student needing an interview can possibly be overlooked. This year the chief of the aides, chosen by Miss Silver, the chief advisor, was Teresa Lynch. At the beginning of the year there was an organization meeting where the aides met to plan for the year ahead. At the end of the year a party was given, an event which was looked forward to with enthusiasm by all. Since this group was formed in 1935 the ad- visor aides have proved to be a great help and a valuable asset in the administration of Hemp- stead High School. 76 ONE of the more recent additions to Hempstead High School's service squads, The Counselor's Service Squad, has proved to be an important and valuable asset. The girls on the staff, numbering twenty in all, are chosen partly on the basis of their sophomore interviews with Miss MacDougall. A co-operative attitude and pleasing personality are also most essential. Often Miss MacDougall, their supervisor, chooses those girls who appear shy and reserved and who, she feels, would benefit by working on the squad. Besides the all-important task of making ap- pointments for interviews between the sopho- mores and their advisor, Miss MacDougall, the girls also perform other numerous duties such as filing, typing, distributing slips and running errands. Two or three members of the staff work together during one period of the day. In addi- tion to this, each girl is required to serve at least two weeks of late duty a year. Although girls have been working as the coun- selor's assistants for many years, last year was the first year that the group was recognized as a service squad. Even though no meetings are held the squad boasts a slate of officers. Holding office this year are Gail Moore, chief; Audrey Low, treasurer, and Faith Goldberg, who is the representative to the Student Council. Service on this squad offers excellent experi- ence for those who desire to enter the secre- tarial field after graduation. To these hard-work- ing and tireless students, and their capable advisor, we extend our deepest thanks for mak- ing the Counselor’s Service Squad the smooth- running organization that it is.

ASSEMBLY SQUAD MANY changes seem to be taking place in old Hempstead High. Even the Assembly Squad, once reserved for Junior and Senior boys only, has a Freshman auxiliary. Because of the new time schedule a change in assembly pro- cedure for Juniors and Seniors was necessary while lower-classmen go during the eleventh period of the day. The boys, who may join the squad only by recommendation, are chosen for their dependa- bility, leadership, and trustworthiness. At one of their weekly meetings the boys elected Dan Squires to serve as President and ' Augie Aga- pito as Treasurer. The Freshman group chose Al Waugh as their Secretary. Now that upperclassmen are no longer escorted from classrooms to Assemblies, the upperclass squad is used mainly to keep order 78 in the halls while the students come or go from the assemblies, so that the burden on the hall patrol is considerably lightened. As the students file into the auditorium they are quickly and courteously seated. The Freshman Squad escorts the students from their classes and seats them, keeping the lines flowing smoothly and prevent- ing bottlenecks. Every Monday the boys meet in the boys' gym for discussion of their problems. Once a year they hold a social. For the past two or three years these events have been strictly stag. At some of the assemblies four of the boys serve as a color guard. Dan Squires, as President, is the only permanent member. The other three are appointed before each assembly and are very proud when so honored. TO HAVE been one of the first organizations in Hempstead High, and still to be recog- nized in 1952 as one of the most beneficial groups, is an outstanding achievement of our library staff. Although the group is understood to be a service club, no officers are chosen or meetings held because of the wide range of periods dur- ing which the girls work. Recommended by teachers to Miss Rhodes, sponsor of the club and head librarian, and to Mrs. Cullen who manages the Senior library, the girls, numbering thirty-five in all, check books out and in, reshelve books in their proper order and write out and deliver overdue notices during homeroom. Service on the staff provides excellent training for the girls interested in future library work. In the past the girls, as one of their major assignments, distributed the various study hall slips to each person in the library for their sig- natures. However, this year a new system has been instituted with reference to these slips. Persons wishing to enter the library must first sign in their respective study halls. Boys have been assigned to the staff this year as an added feature. In the future this will be a regular pro- cedure. Last fall, on November 17, the Student libra- rian Congress of Nassau and Suffolk Counties met at Hempstead High School. Five representa- tives from each school attended. The election of officers at the convention resulted in the elec- tion of Marion Robinson a representative of our school as secretary. Our deepest appreciation and gratitude is extended to the entire staff for its untiring efforts and outstanding work in the past year. LIBRARY STAFF Left to right. Row I: J. Brennan, M. Wolff, J.

SKETCH CLUB BRUSH AND EASEL CLUB UNDER the direction of Mrs. Oman the Sketch Club has been very busy this year selling hand-made, artistic Christmas decorations to raise money for the art scholarship it offers to a senior majoring in art. It went on sketching trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Freeport Harbor. Presiding is Eleanor Hoegl; vice-president, Susan Keller; Lenita Deming, secretary, and treasurer, Lois Nagel. JUST as the freshmen and sophomore classes have grown in the past this club has grown since its organization. Having helped the Sketch Club sell artistic Christmas decorations it then planned a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The officeholders are: Marjorie Johnston, president; Diane Davis, vice-president; secretary, Alice Kay, and treasurer, Gail Weeden. The club was under the direction of Mr. Pilkington. HALL PATROL ALMOST as old as the school itself, the Hall Patrol, our indispensable guardian of the halls and campus, has a round-the-clock schedule. The teachers in charge of the halls during the period to which they are assigned, choose the boys who will work with them. These boys are selected from study halls at the beginning of each school year. Each shift then elects a lieu- tenant who takes attendance and collects the dues of ten cents a semester. The boys elected Clifford Bumford to serve as captain of the entire squad. Under the capable direction of their faculty advisor, Mr. Frank Fish, the boys carry out their many duties quickly and well. Some of these duties include: keeping the halls free of loitering students during class periods; checking the stu- dents in the halls for proper passes; and keeping all students out of the building during periods in which they have no classes. These active boys also act as guides to visitors to the school and courteously and cheerfully direct them to their various destinations. The boys do not regulate the passage of traffic through the halls between periods, but teachers are sometimes placed at strategic intersections to keep the line flowing smoothly. Hempstead is proud of its Hall Patrol for maintaining the halls of our over-crowded school in fine condition. Left to right. Row I: C. Rapelyea, R. Corrigan. W, Roller, D. Bostwick, S. Sucker, S.

These are the cafe-ettes, a relatively new service organization. The girls' main duties are to see that everyone is eating from a tray, that the food lines are orderly, and that the cafeteria is neat and free of debris. Miss Linn is their capable director dur- ing all four periods. She entertained the girls in her home this year. Last year a trip to Schraffts kitchen was so enjoyable that it may be repeated again this year. All the cafe-ettes are on an equal basis, for there are neither officers nor dues.

Officers: Charles Curtis, President; Ray- mond Sawicki, Vice-President; Thomas Packert, Secretary-Treasurer. COLOR GUARD ALTHOUGH the Color Guard was quiescent this year, it was not ex- tinct. Because of the over-crowded con- ditions our assembly programs were cur- tailed and consequently we have not seen too much of this organization whose func- tion it is to begin our assemblies with the flag salute, the Lord's Prayer and the sing- ing of our National Anthem. The presence of the Color Guard inspires a feeling of patriotism and unity. This organization consists of four boys who carry the colors of our country, United Nations, and our school flag. The members of the Color Guard who work with Mr. Fred Franz, our director of assemblies, are Danny Squires, Alvin Fritz, Charles Maass and Augie Agapito. We hope that their functions will be restored next year. Left to right: C. Maass, D. Squires, A. Fritz, A. Agapito. Left to right. Row I: B. Pugatz. Row II: Miss Taft, J. Burroughs, F. Hotoph, A.

A„ fired with a co-operative and ambitious spirit, suc- ceeded in making their organization a very prominent and active one this year—truly help- ful to them in their worthwhile goal of teaching. In addition to their own club meetings, these future pedagogues have assisted as hostesses at various P. T. A. meetings and other group func- tions. They have also entertained several inter- esting speakers who have acquainted them with many of the practical aspects of teaching. This is the third consecutive year of existence for the Junior-Senior division, known as The Peter Cooper Club. Its efforts are to maintain and develop the standards and, in part, to en- courage interest in becoming a teacher, to aid the highest standards of teaching and to develop high ideals of leadership. The Freshman-Sophomore division, The Hor- ace Mann Club, is in its second year. The members of this club have the same constitution and aims as their Junior-Senior counterparts. This year the Peter Cooper Club elected Suzanne Stephan as president. Assisting her as vice-president was Gail Riemer. Kathryn Cole- man recorded the minutes and Angela Margiotta was the treasurer. Presiding over the Freshman- Sophomore division was Gloria Wheeler. Arline Krajnik was chosen vice-president; Jane Gunther, secretary, and Earlene Thorsen, treasurer. A trip to both Franklin and Ludlum Schools was one of the interesting projects of the club. 84 There the members visited from kindergarten through the graduating class. It was a real op- portunity for them to see children under condi- tions which they will face beginning their teach- ing career. Included in the many entertaining and educa- tional programs this year, were talks by different faculty members. These experienced instructors spoke concerning their particular phase of teach- ing and its problems. Alumnae also returned to speak to the clubs on their experiences and activities in schools preparing them for teaching. Another program of the past year, presented by the clubs, has been a project on The Growth of Education in Hempstead. Both clubs have acted as guides for the Eng- lish Teachers Association which convened here in November, have assisted at the meetings of the Genesee College representatives who came to interview prospective students, and acted again as guides at the Armory for the Convoy of Alert America. One member of the club spoke at a meeting of the P. T. A. and gave an outline of the clubs' aims and programs. Under the energetic leadership of Mrs. Green- lund the club has had a very successful year. In addition to their other activities they spon- sored a movie, The Count of Monte Cristo,' for the enjoyment of their fellow classmates. In the coming years, the clubs hope to have as many varied and interesting programs and to participate in as many activities as they have in the past. OF AMERICA Left to right. Row I: M. Ruthizer, E.

Boasting over two hundred active members who spend much of their free time before and after school at the range, this club is one of the most spirited groups in the school. The principal aim of its advisor, Mr. Voorhies, is to teach Hemp- stead students The safe handling and usage of fire arms. The members are chosen for the rifle team according to their capabilities and compete in marksmanship with other high schools. Loft to right. Row I: E. DiMonda, J. McNabb. A. Sharlun, R.

He hoped that some day it would become a leading club in Hempstead. Congratulations! It has! 86 TUPIAR CLUB ROLL call today for the largest club in Hempstead High is a far cry from what it was twenty odd years ago. When the Tupiar Club was first organized its members numbered few; now its membership consists of over fifty mathematically-minded students. The club's officers with their advisors, Mr. Hayes and Mr. Lacombe, arranged a most interesting program for the year. Guest speakers discussed the slide rule and other mysteries of mathematics. Mem- bership dues provided funds for an excursion for the entire organiza- tion as well as awards for the two outstanding members having Left to right. Row I: W. Roller, J. Olson, C. Maass.

HANDICRAFT CLUB WHETHER it is knitting argyle socks for her boy friend or mittens for herself, the girl who belongs to the Handicraft Club is always busy. She is one of the many girls who enjoys the companionship of others who are interested in some form of handwork. Although no officers were elected this year a chairman was appointed to preside over the meetings. The club meets weekly to create use- ful articles and for those who may have come without their project to make scrapbooks for children in hospitals. Under the guidance of Miss Marion Bennett, the girls have been taught weaving, crocheting, knitting and many other forms of handwork. At the meetings the members decide on the article they are going to make and at each meet- ing thereafter they work on it until its comple- tion. The club is open to any girl who enjoys doing creative work. NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB This dub is composed of young naturalists and scientists who instinctively are lovers of nature and things ordinarily inexplicable. Mr. Lind, physicist and biologist, is their advisor. Chemical analysis, studies of local flora and fauna and studies of minerals occupy the minds of the students. Visits are made, observations compared and conclusions drawn and subjected to close analysis. At one of the meetings, the members jour- neyed to the house of Arthur Marcantonio where they busied themselves with the microdissection of a frog's hepatic flexure. They found it to be located 130% microns from the anterior side of its right eyeball. Such a valuable discovery caused the members to utter ’ eureka. A trip was made to the third floor of the High School where the members observed a striking collection of rocks. The officers were Arthur Marcantonio, Presi- dent: Stanley Rucinski, Vice-President: Martin Sklaire, Secretary: George Buck, Treasurer. COMMERCIAL CLUB HEALTH SERVICE SQUAD AS YOU walk by the Health Office at any time of the day you can see the two school nurses, Miss Best and Mrs. Marsden busily admin- istering help to ailing students. To aid these two nurses in their work there is a group of girls interested in nursing as a career. These students take temperatures, file health records, and assist in first-aid. Each one of the aids works in the Health Office for one period each day. This experience will help them when applying for entrance to a nursing school or college. Girls from the Freshman year through the Senior year are eligible to join the Pre-Nursing Club. The ones who show interest in the club and in the field of nursing may be asked to join the Health Service Squad. Because of this inter- est the girls are willing to learn by working hard. PRESIDING over the Commercial Club this year were: Monica Tcstini, president; Lois Mathews, vice-president, and Kathleen Russell, treasurer. This group, composed of sophomore girls, was organized solely for the enjoyment and relaxa- tion of its members. During the past the girls participated in many social functions. Among these functions were: a show in New York City in the Spring, a party in celebration of Hal- lowe'en and an annual Christmas party with all the trimmings. These socials were enjoyed by all that attended. Following the example of previous years the girls helped fill boxes for the Red Cross. Miss Degenhardt, the club's advisor, assisted the girls in their activities and helped them with their individual problems. With her help and guidance the girls can say that this year proved most successful. Left to right. Standing: A. Courtney. R. Sheel, B. Smith. J. Koslow. N. Kowall. D. Soule. J. Lundwall, D.

ORCHESTRA KNOWN for its high achievements in the world of music, our School Symphony Orchestra added more laurels to its fame by appearing at the Waldorf-Astoria for the New York State Congress of Parents and Teachers who had voted it the outstanding orchestra of the year. During the Christmas season the orchestra was honored to have as its soloist Miss Louise Whetsel of the Metropolitan Opera and as guest conductor, Mr. Frederick Fenell from the Eastman School of Music. Under the able direction of Miss Boyle the orchestra has pre- sented concerts for the National Educators of Music in Philadelphia and for the Festival of Music at Kennedy Park in Hempstead. At their Christmas Festival, the orchestra was honored to have as its guest conductor, Mr. Franco Arturi, Associate Conductor of the New York Philharmonic Symphony. This noted personage conducted our symphony in works by Tschaikowsky and Mozart, and with another guest artist, Mr. William Nowinski, he led our famed music section in the Concerto in D Minor by Wieniawiski for Violin and Orchestra. In May the orchestra, choir and band presented the annual Frano Goldman concert at Hofstra College. The people of Hempstead are so grateful for the splendid musical training that our students are receiving that plans are being formed to build a new auditorium so the entire community may join our music department in these concerts.

CHOIR SINCE its inception in 1931 as an all-girl glee club, the choir has grown to today s successful mixed chorus of almost one hundred and twenty members. With Miss McQueen as its splendid and encouraging director, the choir this year has upheld the same high standards of achievement as in preceding ones. Starting early in December, the choir appeared on Paul White- man s Teen Club over WJZ. The combined choir and orchestra also gave a matinee performance for the elementary schools and sub- sequently broadcast over WHLI. The annual Christmas program was presented successfully with Mr. Frederick Fennell as guest conductor. The choir sang at the Dramatic Club's Christmas pageant, and later carried on the long-standing custom of carolling through the halls. In March, the choir gave a midwinter program sponsored by the classroom teachers in the Hempstead Theatre with Dr. Luther Rich- man, director of the Cincinnati School of Music, as guest conductor. In the years since it was first organized, the choir has given many performances to be proud of. It has sung for the National Music Supervisors Association, broadcast for the Voice of America, and given a concert at the Waldorf Hotel for the P. T. A. which was broadcast coast-to-coast.

THE BAND WHEN the music starts to play and the colorful lines march proudly down the field, every spectator, student, as well as citizen, feels a certain justifiable pride in our band. However, does anyone realize that just twenty years ago there was no band at all? Miss Boyle, head of the Music Department, built this band from a mere fifteen musicians. Today more than one-tenth of the school marches at football games. Over 150 belong to the concert band. In addition to playing at all football games and parading for the Community Chest Drive, the band which becomes a strictly concert group after the football season plays at the Christmas, Winter, and Spring Concerts of the school. The band has played at the Polo Grounds, and has appeared on the Paul Whiteman T. V. Show as one of the five top High School Bands of the country. To achieve these many honors is not a simple task. The band practices many hours under the capable leadership of Mr. Kazmier Albinski. Everyday during the seventh period the band assembles for a full rehearsal, while Saturday mornings are also devoted to practice. Only through the combined efforts of Mr. Albinski, Miss Boyle and all the participating students is our band as good as it is today. FLUTES: C. Pashley, E. Mueller, H. Marrell. M. Bahnsen, D.

Together with this worthwhile goal are their other aims of fos- tering scholarship, fellowship and leadership. Sophomore girls with a 90 per cent average at the close of their freshman year or at the first two marking periods of the next year make up its membership. Annually a five-dollar prize is awarded the club member who has attained the highest average, last year, Elsa Steinbrenner.

As is customary, a Valentine party was given for the Pioneers and, for the first time, a tea was given for the Sophomore girls and their mothers. 96 JUNTO CLUB QUALIFICATION for entry into this Sophomore club is an aver- age of eighty-eight per cent or above. Its purpose is to develop the intellectual capacity of its excellent membership. To achieve this, they engage in wide and varied activities. About fifty boys comprise this year's group with Mrs. Marshall as their advisor. The Federal Bureau of Investigation detailed speakers to lecture on the workings of the crime laboratory. One of the speakers related the many and interesting methods employed in obtaining fingerprints. Perhaps some of the clubsters will one day carry F. B. I. credentials. Left to right. Row I: G. Weil.

This organization, whose members have an average of 90 per cent or over for their first year in Hempstead High, would be called an honor society in most schools; however, ours is not a national organization. Many inconveniences had to be overcome this year since the new schedule for the Freshman permitted them to have meetings in the morn- ing only. Because of this some of the social functions had to be abandoned and the girls did not have a chance to become thoroughly acquainted with their fellow members. Next year, however, Miss Congiu plans to revert to the schedule and program in effect since the club began many years ago. Presiding over the Pioneers this year was Beth Holmes; the vice-president was Betty Sachleben; the treasurer, Olga Santos, and the secretary, Sylvia Vaughan. Under the able leadership of Miss Congiu the girls were very pleased with the activities they had planned and in which they participated. A party was given the Pioneers by their older sisters in the Pallas Club. The girls reciprocated with a tea given in honor of the Pallas Club. Educa- tional movies were shown and guest speakers visited the meetings and gave talks on many interesting subjects. Before the year's closing the girls took a trip to New York to see a show. PATHFINDERS, the Freshman honor club, is composed, this year, of about forty students —only boys. Qualifications: The members must have an average of ninety per cent in four major subjects and eighty-seven in the fifth. As in the case of many of the high school's various clubs, cultural interests dominate. Programs are pre- arranged as well as spontaneously conceived by the collective and weighty brains” of the outfit. The club stresses the importance of maintain- ing the averages which are necessary for admit- tance. To do this, guest speakers are invited to talk on issues of domestic and foreign interest. Advisor to the students is Mr. Ketchum. A mo- tion-picture on Latin America was also shown. Two capable students, sent by Mr. Tree from Social Studies II classes, explained the reason for the picture. The dominant theme was one of PATHFINDERS good-neighborliness with our southern friends. The change in schedule because of the heavy enrollment this year has affected the activities of most Freshman and Sophomore clubs, and Pathfinders is no exception. However, time was found to pay a visit to an art museum in China- town, N. Y., where the painting that seemed to draw most attention was that of a Sinkiang coolie pushing a pig in a wheelbarrow. Also dis- covered: Chinese do not go in much for shrimp chow mein or squid chop suey, but they are adept at using chopsticks, which the club mem- bers tried to emulate. Much rice was left on ties and vests. The club was ably managed by the following officers: President, Richard Bannister; Vice-Presi- dent, Paul Chronis; Secretary, Robert Mettler; Treasurer, Werner Deiman. Left to right. Row I: W.

In 1952 the club's officers were Mickey Mclver, president; Rudy Valentino, vice-president; Joel Taft, treasurer, and John Tomsuden, secretary. The Varsity Club's activities include an annual spring dance, selling refreshments at games and being on the sports patrol. FISHING CLUB GONE FISHING ' read the sign outside the room where the Fishing Club met. Advised by Mr. Stanley White, this club enjoyed many movies and lectures on the technicalities of fishing. As the weather improved in the spring the members went on fishing expeditions. Com- posed of students from all grades, this active club met every other week with Leo Hanning as president and Farley Buckley as vice-president. 100 INDUSTRIAL CO-OP TRAINING PROGRAM NOT many people at Hempstead High School are acquainted with one of the newest and most successful activities under the direction of Mr. Cramblet. The Industrial Co-operative Training Program provides pre-apprentice or trade training to those boys who have definitely decided what they want to do after graduation. It furnishes an opportunity for work after school and reduces the amount of job hunting. Excused at the end of the homeroom period they work a minimum of three hours a day. In school the boys attend a work theory class one period a day and take correlated subjects. This year twenty-two boys, representing six- teen different trades ranging from florists to chefs, are employed. They secure their own jobs and receive all employment benefits granted by the employer such as life and hospital insurance. Last year thirteen boys stayed on their jobs and one has been made foreman. One earned enough to go to college and only one decided to change his job. The school co-ordinator visits employers and parents and organizes related study material for each trade represented. Their wages are in line with the wage and hour laws. Those working under this program received as a minimum wage sev- enty-five cents and as a maximum wage two dollars and fifty cents an hour. Even though this program was established only last year it is well on its way to being one of the most helpful and constructive activities in the school. Left to right. Row I: F. Ulip, J.

CAMERA CLUB THE visit to the Camera Club this past January by Mr. Kelly, the publisher of the Colonial, was a novelty for the members. Mr. Kelly presented an interesting talk to the club concerning the pub- lishing of the yearbook. He demonstrated his talk by showing a film based on his topic. The club had throughout the year as its guests other noted and instrumental speakers and saw many excellent films on every angle of the camera. According to its regular program, the club held its annual photog- Left to right. Row I: A. Harris, A. Robell. C. Bumford, H. Goldberg, G. Littman. Row II: R. Lotoclce, D. Kelton, L. Sherwood, M.

The club, under the guidance of Mr. Smith, has as its officers: Cliff Bumford, President; Mervyn Weich, Vice-President, and Robert Mar- tinez, Secretary-Treaurer. A darkroom is open several times a week for the boys who wish to develop their own film. 102 PRINCIPAL'S SERVICE SQUAD THE Principal's Service Squad, formerly called the Central Service Squad, was organized in 1939. Originally, the squad had eight girls, but that number is now doubled. Personality, general appear- ance, friendliness, the ability to learn quickly, and good scholastic averages are the qualities which each girl must possess. Mr. Beddow and Miss Rich carefully choose the girls suggested by the Senior members of the squad and teachers. Working on the switchboard is the duty the girls enjoy most of all. Of course, each girl must know how to operate it. Mary Ann Left to right. Row I: C. Chicco, S. Krim, P. Cahill, J. Lobdell, M. Selvaggio. C. Pashley. Row II: L. Horsfield, S. Marchisotto, B.

PEN AND INK CLUB THOSE forty-five intelligent-looking girls in the Teachers’ Cafeteria are members of the Pen and Ink Club! These Juniors and Seniors have attained a combined school and Regents average of 90 per cent or above. Approximately twenty- eight years ago, when the club was first organ- ized, it consisted of twenty-four members. The purpose of the club is to encourage scho- larship and service to the school, develop char- acter, and acquire culture. Throughout the year talks were given on parliamentary procedure, art and literature. Tessie Efthimion described her trip to Greece. Musical selections were pre- sented by Ingrid Mollersten, violinist, and Larry Wasserman, pianist. Deane Perez, a Hempstead alumnae, gave an exhibition of ballet dancing. One of the services performed by the club was to usher the parents on the Junior and Senior Open House nights. During Christmas the members filled Red Cross boxes for shipment overseas. The club joined with the Student Coun- cil in a reception to welcome the Korean visitor. It assisted the Guidance Department in putting out the Handbook. The editor-in-chief of this important manual is Doris Muller with Dorothy Smith as business manager. Among the theater trips taken this year was one to see the movie, Quo Vadis, and later the play, Gigi. The club planned a trip up the Hudson and a visit to the Roosevelt home in Hyde Park. On the basis of her grades, service to the school, character, and personality, a scholarship is given to a Senior member of the club. Presiding over the meetings is Helen Sormani, with Marguerite Schaedel, vice-president; Gail Moore, secretary, and Joyce Robin, treasurer. Mrs. Stilger and Miss Abbot are the competent advisors. 104 THE Pentagon ranks high among the school's various clubs. Its purpose is cultural. It is composed of upper-classmen who, with the help of Mr. Fish, have embarked upon projects that have brought honor and credit to the school. The present roster contains the names of about forty students. The money derived from club dues and a very successful magazine sales cam- paign has more than guaranteed the club’s con- tribution to the scholarship fund and provided assets for visits to museums, the opera and legiti- mate Broadway plays. See all and know all might well be the motto of Pentagon. The membership of the club, past, present and future, contains the names of our leaders in business, education, science, medicine, music and architecture. Let us observe the preparatory steps undergone by the present aspirants. The club was delighted to have Mr. Pilkington discourse on the development of Art According to the Age, from Byzantium to Picasso, followed by a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fundamentals of music were explained by Mr. Leusch, an accomplished musician himself—to a receptive group interested in theory, composi- tion, interpretation and the finer points of in- strumentation. An enlightening forum on World History was held by the club, with Professor Reynolds of Hofstra College as moderator. This was one of the invitation series inaugurated by Pentagon for the refining of intellectual faculties. Officers of the club are as follows: President, Martin Sklaire; Vice-President, Shalom Schwartz: Secretary, John Johnson: Treasurer, Richard Leidy. Meetings are held bimonthly. In addition to a scholarship, Pentagon awards a gold service key to the member judged to have been of the greatest aid to the club. PENTAGON CLUB Left to right. Row I: B. Borten, H. Kammerer, A.

DRAMATIC WORKSHOP ON FEBRUARY 28, the curtain rose on the Sophomore Dramatic Workshop produc- tion of What a Life. Directed by Mrs. Kantz- ler, the play, the original Henry Aldrich story, had its setting in a principal's office. It treated the universal problem of adjustment in the lives of normal boys and girls. The leading role of Henry was played by Andrew Robell. Cast in the principal supporting roles we-e Narlene Gleicher, Janice Lynn, Ronald Goldstein, and John Cosgriff. Stage manager Gordon Weil and his crew, along with Miss Randall, deserve much credit for their effective job of staging. In May the Workshop presented a one-act play entitled, Ins and Outs, at a convention of the Mental Hygiene Association. RIGHT COLUMN PICTURES Upper left: R. Goldstein, J. Puller, J. Linn.

This versatile and talented group of Junior and Senior thespians presents the Spring Play, the Christmas Pageant, and matinees for the enjoyment of all. In the fall the girls presented a very entertaining one-act play entitled, Night Club, directed by Joan Kracke, a student teacher. Plans were made for another one-act play, Submerged, featuring an all-male cast. On January 10 a scene from the Maxwell Ander- son play, Mary of Scotland, was portrayed. Ernest Rosenberg presides over the meetings, assisted by the Vice-President, Bruce Corrie; the Secretary, Carole O Brien, and the Treasurer, Sue Thomas. Miss Randall and Mrs. Kantzler are the advisors. LEFT COLUMN PICTURES Upper right: N. Gleicher, A. Rubell. Bottom: left to right: C. Paul. R. Zeph, H. Engleki. A. Doherty. P. Cahill, A. Fos er, J.

This club, made up of Junior and Senior girls, has been built into an unusually worthwhile and profitable organiza- tion. This year the officers feature Leona Gunther as President, and Patricia Dutil as Vice-President. They are assisted by the Secretary, Barbara Schultz and the Treasurer, Geraldine Herz. The Key Klickers have a very serious purpose. As a club they endeavor to learn as much as possible about the whys and wherefores'' of the business world. They visit various banks, the post office, a leading factory and other important and conducive business establishments. Of course, no club would be a success without parties and subsequently the Key Klickers have their share. The club celebrates both Christmas and St. Valentine s Day in this way. In the spring of this year the club took an enjoyable trip to New York City to see a play, after which the members dined in one of New York's popular restaurants. 108 MR. PILL, the counselor for all Junior and Senior College Preparatory students is ably supported by his secretary, Miss Ronnerman, her assistant, Miss Merrick, and the busy and effi- cient members of the Office Five Squad. This squad has this year been provided with a newly renovated office. This office has been divided into four spacious rooms, the outer room being the reception room. There is an inner office for Mr. Pill; one for the Freshmen Advisors, Mr. Prahl and Mr. Watson, and one for Mrs. Wai- ters, our school psychologist. Twenty-eight boys and girls, Freshmen, Sopho- mores, Juniors and Seniors, now compose the Office Five Squad. There are two or more stu- dents performing duties which are varied and many who work together each period. These en- thusiastic squad members file, alphabetize, make personal records, run errands, and introduce many new students to Hempstead High. Through this office the members of the Office Five Squad meet many boys and girls from other schools as well as many adults. Each year a chief and an assistant chief are chosen by Miss Ronnerman and Mr. Pill. This year Mickey McKeithan earned the position as chief and Suzanne Thomas as assistant chief. This honor is bestowed upon those who show a considerable amount of interest in other people and who are capable of being patient and efficient leaders. Students are chosen for this squad on the basis of their being a help to the office and the office being a help to them. Each year the squad plans a gala and festive Christmas party to which all of the members of Office Five are invited. At this year's party a grab-bag and refreshments were served to the delight and enjoyment of the participants. The squad also held an outing in June for its mem- bers and advisors.

N LABORATORY atmosphere and under the advisorship of Mr. Faust, the nuclear physicists and chemical engineers of the future meet regu- larly to perform experiments and discuss phases of scientific advancement. At one of their meet- ings, Donald Johnson, one of the members, gave a lecture on Philosophy and Science. He pointed out the necessary relationship of the two and a most interesting discussion followed. Chemical experiments, involving much compli- cated apparatus are held frequently. Once such an effluvium resulted from one of these experi- ments that the members were forced to vacate the room. A question-and-answer meeting was proposed on the recent discovery that supernovae explo- sions are due to beryllium fission at a billion degrees heat. President of the Senior Division is George Oeslander; the president of the Junior Division is Larry Spiro. I 10 Left to right. Row I: E. Loyser, R. Ehret, S. Reich. L. Sullivan, R. Geberih. T.

AUDIO-VISUAL SQUAD THE Audio-Visual Squad, which has been care- fully supervised by Mr. E. C. Moore for many years, was organized in 1934. Through the years its membership has grown steadily, consist- ing now of twenty-six members; twenty-four boys and two girls. Two or three members are always on duty in Office I 8a each period. Arthur Kunz heads the squad, as chief, with Sheldon Reich as the assistant chief. Dorothy Bremer acts as both secretary and treasurer. Checking films, showing movies, and working the public address system, are some of the many tasks performed by these skilled workers. When the films need repairing the boys know exactly what to do, when to do it, and act accordingly. The films are also sent out to all parts of Long Island and to the public schools in Hempstead. Although the boys and girls who aid Mr. Moore in Office 18a report at their designated times, many of them come in to help after school and many times give up their lunch periods. The squad's work in high school prepares its mem- bers for photography work in which they might be interested when they graduate. Mr. Lind assists Mr. Moore with the many duties of this organization and is well-liked by the squad members. Teachers and pupils alike are appreciative of the work of Mr. Moore, Mr. Lind and their helpers who have made many phases of our work more interesting and enlightening through the use of audio-visual aids.

CAFETERIA SQUAD FROM the fifth period through the eighth period about thirteen hundred students eat in the school cafeteria on clear days, and ap- proximately fifteen hundred students on rainy days. There are quite a few more students who eat in the cafeteria now than there were seven years ago. A great amount of work goes into the making of these lunches, both hot and cold. The work of preparing these meals is carried on by Mr. Tobani, manager, who is assisted by a staff of women who spend several hours in the prepa- ration of sandwiches and hot meals. Some of our able-bodied young men give up one or two periods a day to help out by washing and drying the trays, dishes, and silverware. These lads are not organized into a club with officers, but they are a group of boys working together to keep our cafeteria a clean eating place for Hemp- stead High's students. Today there are thirteen of these students on the squad, whereas seven years ago there were only six. The cafeteria has a very modern dishwashing machine, which was installed this year. This new innovation saves the boys quite a bit of scrubbing. The machine is built to sterilize the dishes and silverware thor- oughly. This year under the combined efforts of the Cafe-ettes, the Cafeteria Squad, and the teach- ers assigned to each lunch period, the cafeteria has come to be an orderly and pleasant place in which to eat and relax. This has been done in the following ways: All students have been asked to eat from trays supplied by the cafeteria and all have been requested to heed the few carica- tures depicting the do’s and don't's of eating, which hang on the walls of the cafeteria. The response of the students has been great, en- thusiastic, and notably appreciated. I 12 BLUEANDWHITECORNER HOW are the workers at the Blue and White Corner chosen? What are their duties? One hears these questions asked many times. Students from the Retailing II classes are chosen by Mr. Davidson, according to their scholastic abilities and general appearance. The Blue and White Corner was founded by Miss Nell Foster. Five years ago it was changed to a retailing section, under the direction of Mr. Davidson. The staff consist of sixteen members. Although its present site might seem large enough, Mr. Davidson hopes to move to another room, where there will be more adequate space for the stock and personnel of the Corner. We all appreciate the courteous efficiency of the staff members who help to make our shop- ping for supplies a pleasant experience. JUNIOR RED CROSS SUPERVISED by Miss Davis, the Junior Red Cross Council is recognized in Hempstead High as one of the most worthwhile organiza- tions of the school. Some of the many tasks assigned to the group include the filling of gift boxes and Christmas stockings for children over- seas and the annual enrollment drive which takes place in November. Part of the money collected in the drive, after being sent to the headquar- ters in Mineola, is contributed to the National Children's Fund. On November 14, 15 and 16, 1951, the chair- man and co-chairman of the Junior-Senior group attended the Junior Red Cross Convention at East Hampton. Holding offices in the Junior-Senior group this year are Gail Reimer, chairman; Bruce Corrie, co-chairman; Doris Heft, secretary, and Steph- anie Hoffbauer, treasurer. Heading the Fresh- man-Sophomore chapter, as chairman, is Barbara Hurd. Left to right. Row I: D. An derson, M. Flagg, X. Connell Mr. Davidson, R. Carupella A. Rhodes. Row II: J. Domato R.

PRE-NURSING CLUB ALTHOUGH a comparative newcomer among the clubs of Hempstead High, the Pre-Nursing Club is already a well-established organization. It was formed three years ago, under the guidance of Mrs. Marsden, by Nancy Kowall. Since then many aspiring nurses have joined its ranks. Because of the difference in schedules of the upper and lower classmen, the club has been divided into two groups with Nancy Kowall as chairman of the Junior-Senior division and Dorothy Hannaway, the leader of the Freshman- Sophomore group. This year the girls studied a phase of public health nursing and were visited by a nurse from the Nassau Public Health Department, who spoke to them concerning her profession. They are planning to visit Cornell Medical Center and St. Luke's Hospital in the near future. By attend- ing these meetings the girls are able to decide whether they still wish to become nurses, and if so, to what schools to apply for admission. Left to right. Row I: J. Finn. E. Dowler, J.

Upon investigat- ing you undoubtedly discovered that these strange goings on were caused by the members of the club while playing a Spanish game. With Miss Ignelzi assisting them, this year's slate of officers which included Joan Stefan as President, Larry Meister as Vice-President, Olga Santos as Secretary, and Alexander Wells as Treasurer, planned many interesting programs. One of the club's main events this year was a successful Christmas Party held in room 30, which was gaily decorated by the members. Carols were sung in Spanish and games were played. Refreshments were home-made, having been prepared by the members. The club's trip to New York City was high- lighted by a Spanish movie. Activities such as these contribute in furthering the interest of students in the foreign language being studied. Lett to right. Row I: M. Madigan, C. Goldsmith, J. Stefan, P. Graff, Miss Ignelzi.

This year it sold Christmas cards to raise one hundred dollars for a scholar- ship. This scholarship goes to the Latin IV stu- dent who has not only maintained a high aver- age but has done the most for the club. Last year's scholarship was won by Maureen Maguire. The members look forward to the monthly meetings with interest. At each meeting a novel program, consisting of games and contests, usually of a Latin flavor, is presented. Refresh- ments are served to top off an enjoyable and unique afternoon. Presiding at these meetings is the first consul, Carole Bates. She is ably as- sisted by Vera Barad, the second consul. Helen Turner, the Scriba, records the minutes and Jan Carlson takes care of the pecuniary matters. Lett to right. Row I: C. McWilliams, S. Krim, J. Brennan, S. Cummings, V. Barad, C. Kappeler, S.

Where else would one hear French being spoken so fluently? Although membership in the club is not limited to upperclassmen because of the arrangement of students' schedules, Juniors and Seniors consti- tute the bulk of the forty members. The purpose of the club is to impart a knowl- edge of French life—its civilization and culture. This is accomplished at the meetings and by taking trips. An informative talk on French art was given by Mr. Pilkington at one of the meet- ings. The club visited Hunter College and saw the French movie, ' Symphonie Pastorale. Plans were made to see a French play at one of the New York City Colleges. A spring trip to the Cloisters was also scheduled. Presiding over the meetings is Dorothy Mor- lock. Assisting her are Lucille Lenaers, vice-presi- dent; Bonnie Lewin, secretary, and Robert Mc- Kenty, treasurer. With the capable supervision of the advisors, Mrs. Young and Mr. Menza, the club's functions are smooth-running and interesting. Left to right. Row I: B. Neider, D. Heft, M. Schaedel, D. Morlock.

Languages, as well as music and the arts, are important cultural attainments. Students in the German clubs, through the per- sonal and sincere participation of Miss Gunther and Mr. Leusch, have been the recipients of many pleasurable and informative hours spent in club meetings. The interest in things German has become so attractive that it was found ex- pedient to divide the students into three clubs— Freshmen, who formed Der Deutsche Klub ; Sophomores, organized in Der Deutsche Kreis, and Juniors and Seniors in Dem Deutschen Verein. During the summer Mr. Leusch made a pro- tracted visit to Germany, covering many land- marks and points of interest. Upon his return a Fragen und Antworten session was held with the Juniors and Seniors. The aura of mystery surrounding ancient castles on the Rhine; Wag- ner's Festspielhaus, beautiful Cologne with its magnificent Gothic Cathedral—these and many more were intimately recalled by Mr. Leusch. A trip was made to Yorkville, a well-known and long-established German colony in mid-Man- hattan, where the members visited a German tourist information bureau where questions were asked and answered entirely in the German language. The Handlungsgehulfe was pleas- antly surprised at the manner in which these students conducted themselves and their sincere interest in the West German Republic. After- wards the members went to a German restau- rant and partook of its excellent German cuisine. To end the day the members went to a down- town Kino where they thoroughly enjoyed an 118 all German version of the motion picture, Beethoven. Spelling bees are held frequently as a favorite diversion of the members, during which times only the German language is spoken. (A fine of ten pfennigs was levied against a member who shifted to English.) The annual Christmas party was held in the girls' gym. German folk dancing under the call- ing of Mr. Franz was the highlight of the occa- sion. Games and folk songs, followed by a grab- bag and refreshments, constituted a very happy get-together. Whenever the weather prevented the mem- bers from assembling at their normal meeting place, Prospect St. School, they gathered in Room 18a and sang songs and traded experi- ences—speaking in German all the while. On such occasions they were also entertained by colored slides of Germany. Folk dances were learned by some of the members in the Prospect Street School Audi- torium. At one meeting a musical was held fea- turing Werner Deimann as soloist at the piano. The Sophomore Club, superintended by Mr. Leusch ( Der Grosse ) specialized this year in extracting the derivation of German words. The young etymologists consulted various libraries and amalgamated a considerable number of Worte. They also attempted to learn the Plattdeutsch dialect. A party was held at the home of Elizabeth Mueller, another German student, where slides were seen of Germany. The slides were the re- sult of the excellent photographic abilities of Mr. Mueller, who with his wife and daughter visited Germany last summer. Toward the end of the term the combined membership of all three German clubs termi- nated their interesting and never dull year of club life by an excursion to Hempstead Lake State Park, where they enthusiastically partici- pated in the gustatory rewards of a good picnic. Officers of the Senior Division were: President, George Buck; Vice-President, Helen Roesler; Secretary, Helen Hagenah, and Treasurer, Rob- ert Stimpfl. Because of the involved schedule of the club the Sophomore division elected only two officers, namely: Henry Guereck, President, and Elizabeth Mueller, Secretary-Treasurer. Last, but certainly not least, was the slate of the officeholders of the Freshman division. They were President, Charles Clifton; Vice-President, Walter Dill; Secretary, Arlene Heil, and Treas- urer, Morgan Whitney. FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE Left to right. Row I: J. Koehler, W. Dill, J.

ATHLETIC MARCHING BAND ENTOURAGE WITH the first boom of the drum and blare of the trumpets every loyal Hempstead- ite's heart skips a beat, for out onto the field they march; the stirring Color Guard, the strut- ting Drum Majorettes, and the high-stepping Twirlers. First in line are the nine trim members of the Color Guard bearing ''Old Glory, the United States Flag, and Hempstead High School's own banner. These girls are all members of the music department who are chosen by Miss Boyle for their height, posture and personality. This year the captains are Grace Greenman and Charlotte Oakland. Following the Color Guard are the Drum Ma- jorettes Nancy Novarine and Cariotta Poetow and the captain of the twirlers, Marilyn Bahnsen. These vivacious girls add a great deal to the overall picture of the show. DRUM MAJORETTES Left to right: N. Novarine, C. Paetow. TWIRLERS Left to right: Row I: J. Mi chalski. K. Murray. L.

Of course, no band show would be complete without the silver streaks of the Twirlers' batons. This year the girls were divided into two groups, the regular twirlers and fire twirlers. In turn, the regular twirlers were divided into two groups, the junior and the senior twirlers. The skill with which these girls manipulate the shining steel batons is marvelous to watch. Among the musical numbers to which these agile performers twirled were The Bells Are Ringing, Joshua, Cruis- ing Down the River and Grand Old Flag. Last, but not least, is that important part of the band itself, the Glockenspiel players. This group is composed of sixteen players and four alternates and is captained by Elizabeth Mueller. In case you don't know what a Glockenspiel looks like, dear reader, it's a steel . . . ah . . . oh, well, if you lose any sleep about it you'd better go out to the bandbox and ask for a glockenspiel. After hours of practice these groups are welded together with the rest of the band into a show of professional calibre which was shown last year at the Polo Grounds. Indeed a pleasant memory to look back on is the thrilling band show. GLOCKENSPIEL Lett to right. Row I: J. Olson S. Cummings, B. Bernard, S Lillicrap, K. Pappas. J. Lin tante, A.

None other than that vivacious group of girls, the Hempstead High School Cheerleaders. The thirteen varsity cheerleaders have as their co-captains, Pat Leckie and Dot Sharlun. Off the field these girls are normal high school girls, quiet and sedate, but on the field—look out! These girls can make more noise than fifty men and at the same time coax the team on to victory. The cheerleaders are broken up into three groups: the J. V. Cheerleaders (Juniors), the var- sity cheerleaders (Seniors), and the sophomore girls who comprise the marching group. This year the girls were coached by Mrs. Church and Miss Rosen. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Row I: R. Thaw, L. Gomillion, M. Minkiewich. P. Plender, S. Krim. L. Lenaers. G. Anderson. Row II: G.

In the fourth year of its exist- ence, this group is composed of thirty-two Junior and Senior girls. Advising this sparkling aggregation is Mrs. Miriam Tobin of the Girls' Physical Education This year the Tigerettes danced to Sunny Side of the Street and Joshua during the halves of the football games, and a group of those energetic performers also danced to Orange Colored Sky at the Senior-Frosh party of last semester.

Martin. A CHEER goes up ■from the stands as the Hempstead Tigers come onto the field, wearing their blue and white colors. The Tiger eleven had a championship year in '51, winning seven games and losing one. In its first game Hempstead met Lawrence and went home triumphantly with a score of 27-12. Against Mepham the Hempstead defense held them to 7 points, while the offense piled up 19. Hempstead, going like a house afire, beat Sewanhaka, 27-0, to take home the third straight victory. In their fourth contest the Hempsteaders romped over Baldwin with the sages comment- ing that none of Long Island's teams could have played as well. Can Hempstead be stopped? That was a question no one answered until Old Man Upset dealt his hand, with Freeport trouncing Hemp- stead 12-6. Without losing their fighting spirit the Tigers went on to win the remaining games of the season. A decisive game, Hempstead vs. Glen Cove, on Thanksgiving Day of '51! Romping over them by a score of 24 7, the Hempstead Tigers won the Chapman Memorial Bell and the triple A Crown. Left to right. Row I: E. Imbroll, A. Mule, T. Santoro, W. Jackson, A. Szeglin, S.

Gay, C. Drietlein, K. Rossano, Mr. Keenan, In '51 Mr. R. Scheussler, in his second year as varsity football coach, whipped the 1948 Fresh- man team (the first in our history) into a cham- pionship varsity team. Assisting him were Mr. R. Keenan, Mr. T. Beck, Mr. S. Wilson and Mr. L. White. The club's co-captains in '51 were Dick Mar- tin, Ray Udris and Santo Varbero. In '52 they will be Buddy Dreitlein, John Junda and Gary Dorns. Looking over other football squads in Hemp- stead history we find that the 51 squad had the highest scholastic average and showed the greatest cooperation between squad and coaches. Dick Martin, lending glory and honor to Hempstead High School during 1951, won the Tom Thorpe scholastic football award. During their championship year the Tigers had a very strong line, composed of Varbero, Zeglin, Udris, Mclver, Valentino, Crow and Jackson. Outstand- ing at the ends were Buddy Dreitlein, making the big jump from J. V. to varsity, and Lex Gay, a veteran, who made all-conference end. De- fensive backs were Richardson, Winfield and Dorns. On the offense were Martin, Imbroll and Junda. Every player on the squad earned his varsity letter. Each year the team, captains excluded, votes for the best linesman, best back and most improved player. The winners were, respectively, Szeglin, Imbroll and Winfield. Now the uniforms are put away and the team is studying for Regents. Some are going to be playing college ball, others will be back with us next year, while others are expected to make the big jump from J. V. to try and lead Hemp- stead to another championship year in '52; thus carrying on the Tigers' fighting spirit. HEMPSTEAD played some fine basketball in 1952, proving very troublesome to all opponents. Opening their schedule by defeating West- bury in a non-league game, it looked as though the Tigers were on their way to a successful season. However, they met a powerful Chami- nade team next and were soundly beaten when their shooting average fell off. When the league games began, fortune changed for the team. Baldwin, along with Mepham, were acknowl- edged powerhouses. Hempstead proceeded to give Mepham the game of their lives as they played them evenly throughout the first three quarters. It wasn't until the last few minutes that the Pirates pulled away and won a close one, 54-47. Baldwin then walloped Hempstead, 53-39. However, in the second game things were quite different as the Hubmen played their hearts out and reversed their first defeat by trimming Bald- win, 58-46, with Noonan, Bythewood and Rich- ardson scoring 12 points apiece. Other impressive wins were over Valley Stream, Lawrence and Sewanhaka. The starting five were Dick Martin, Frank Noonan, Charlie Bythewood, Gary Dorns and Lanse Natsch who was also co-captain along with Sam Foreilli. Charles Bythewood led the team in scoring with a 12-point average, followed very closely by Lanse Natsch who averaged I I points a game. Congratulations to the team and to their coach, Mr. Benner.

Hempstead was tied with Mepham, Baldwin, Valley Stream and Lawrence in a hot race for third position. In '51 we had an experienced team with a veteran pitching staff of Burt Rich, Richie Wright and Bob Lloyd. The hurlers were hot all season, but the batsmen were a little slow. Hempstead played an outstanding game against Baldwin, trimming them three to nothing in twelve innings. Burt Rich did the hurling up to the seventh inning, when Bob Lloyd came in and sewed it up for us. Catcher Dick Martin clouted out a three-run homer which gave us the three winning runs. In '52 Dick Martin will step into the captain's shoes left vacant by Gene Kennison. Cited as outstanding ball players were Bob Lloyd, pitcher, and Dick Martin, catcher, who were elected to the all-scholastic baseball team. Playing out in the daisies was Harold Kent, set- ting up double-plays at second base was Ronnie MacLeod, and scooting around at short was Louis Flego. Mr. Scheussler, a veteran, again coached the team. VARSITY BASEBALL Richie Wright 129 Left to right. Row I: D. Squires. A. Fiorenza. C. Baciagalupo. B. Wishart. J. Robertson. C. Broad- way. S.

TRACK BACK in '5I the Hempstead High School track team had one of its hardest years. The breaks went against it after eight years of champions and championships. In 1951 Don Jackson, the team's captain, was one of the best quarter-milers on Long Island. Every year there is a track meet of New York State's best runners and field events men; this year Don Jackson represented Long Island at West Point. Hempstead placed second in the South Shore League, which is made up of fourteen high schools. Coach Krause considered that very good for such an inexperienced team. The outstanding men on the team are Bill Stephanson, one-half mile; Joe Gorman, mile; Don Jackson, one-quarter mile or 440; Bob Botsch and Joe Gonzales, one-eighth or 220; Bob Botsch, 100-yard dash; Bill Maloney and Art Szeglin, in the 180 hurdles, and the relay team of Botsch, Gonzales, Cumbo, Moore and Meola. In the field events Lex Gay and Charlie Bythe- wood, highjumpers; Ed Stonich, Lex Gay and Bob Corot, broad jump; Gary Glier and Charles Skinas, pole vault; Ray Udris and Roger Rowehl, shotput, and John Tomsuden, Ray Udris and Roger Rowehl, discus. There are always many trackmen, and in '51 there were sixty varsity men and fifty on the Freshmen's squad. Many more are expected in 1952. In '51, in comparison to past years, it was a poor team, although they had a good fighting spirit. It seemed they just couldn't break the tape first, usually ending in second place. Mr. Krause is back in '52 for his ninth year as coach, and has had his teams win seventeen trophies in eight years. He predicts a successful year with Bob Dowler, Ray Udris, Charles Bythewood, Lex Gay and Joe Gorman returning, who will make up the nucleus of the team. A very strong Freshman team is expected in '52 with many becoming varsity members in '53. 130 VARSITY SOFTBALL N '51 the Hempstead High School Softball team had a championship year, winning twelve and dropping none. Charles MacLaughlin, hard hitting outfielder, was the team captain this sea- son. Jerry Dietrich, outstanding pitcher, hurled a no-hitter against Baldwin, while his teammates scored thirteen runs. In '51 the hardest game was that with Long Beach, in which the team won 5-4 to clinch the championship. In that game Hempstead was held to four hits and Long Beach to three. Pitch- ing that day were Weiss and Wilson. Outstanding ball players of '51 who have since graduated are Marrone, third base: Drietrich, pitcher; Meddis, short stop: West, second base; MacLaughlin, outfield; Provost, second base; Morris, first base, and Wilson, pitcher. The outlook for '52 is pretty good with Crowe, Behan, Meeker, Klunder, Corrie, Cole- man, Merritt and Noonan. Mr. Keenan, who has coached the team for three years, will also be back. Left to right.

RIFLE TEAM WINNING three championships in 1952, the rifle team followed many of the other athletic teams to glory and honor. The team in '52 that shot its way to victory was Bartanowitz, captain; Maass, Everett, McWilliams, Corrie, Outwater, Hess, Bing, Hofmann and Vishney, manager. Hempstead beat Valley Stream 916-914 for the South Shore championship. Against Chami- nade for the North Shore title, Hempstead out- shot them 902-878 in the first match, and 935- 895 in the second. J. Bartanowitz, C. Maass, J. Everett, L. McWilliams and B. Corrie comprised the five-man team in the Section 8 and copped their third title. The totals for the team in '52 were eleven wins and one loss. Congratulations to Mr. Voorhies in his twelfth year of successful coaching. Left to right. Row I: A. Pickard, G. Weil. C. Lutz, P.

Playing all its matches in impressive style, the team completed the best season on record since the sport was started at our school not many years ago. The team consisting of Don Arnoud, Lester Schulman, Bob Nesbitt, Doug Palmer, Dick Lutz, Dave Wooten, Morris Rosen, Rod Lewin and Bob Zeph all received letters or certificates after the season was completed. Don Arnaud played outstanding tennis for the team and did not miss one match for Mr. Menza's netmen. Unfortunately only two performers will return in 1952, which means that practically an entirely new team will take the court next year for Hempstead. Good luck to them and to their coach Mr. Menza. BOYS' BOWLING BOWLING is one of the nation's most popular sports. Since it is a major sport there is considerable competition for varsity letters. This year's team was green, but now that it has a year's experience behind it we can expect big things next year. The most promising prospects are Stan Malecki, who is presently one of the league's leading keglers, and John Hales. They are good now, but with more coaching will make the league leaders jump next year. Mr. Levin is the new coach this year. Dur- ing the early part of the season the team was plagued with difficulties when several of the top players turned pro. It has been a game team, which despite its handicaps put up a stiff opposition against such excellent teams as Central’s and Mepham's. GOLF IN 1951, golf took the spotlight at our school. The Hub team had an excellent season, I winning the league championship and finishing second in Nassau county. The only defeat came at the hands of Lawrence. Showing the form that made them so hard to beat, eight members of the team qualified for the sectionals. This is an achievement any golf team would be proud of. Again Eugene Silverstrone led the team playing excellent golf throughout the year. Other members were, Dick Burns, Ed Darmethowski, Richard Frenz, Paul Kanzler, Benny Klemanowicz, Al Kach, Danny Shybunko, Chet Snellback, and Bob Van DeWater. Hempstead High School has every right to be proud of its golf team and of its coach, Mr. Faust. 133 Left to right. Row I: C. Ricklin, G. Buck, Mr. Schaedel. T. Corcran. Row II: F. Anderberg, K.

Meeting weekly under the direction of Mr. Schaedel, the advisor of the club for many years, the boys advance from the fundamentals of riding to become expert horsemen. In the fall of 1951 twenty-three boys who joined the club made the Mayfair Academy their headquarters, and in favorable weather were out putting the horses through their paces. Open to all four classes, this is one of the many recreational clubs in the school. J. V. BASEBALL 1951 was a big year for Hempstead's J. V. Baseball. The team pitched in with its fine coach Mr. George Wilson. Left hander Gilbert pitched a brilliant no- hitter against Lawrence. Gilbert and Rilke com- bined efforts and shut out Baldwin with no hits. Capt. Benny Weisinger, Buddy Dreitlein, George Montigny, were hard hitting batters. Montigny hit a homer with two men on and was then singled in by Frank Dovinsky to bring the Cubs from behind 4-0 to win 6-4 against Sewan- haka. Gilbert and Kennedy were both on the mound in that exciting game. The J. V. Tigers broke a record by getting at least one victory over every opponent and an overall record of ten wins and seven losses. Left to right. Row I: D. Stevens Jr., G. Patane. R. Schmitt, M. Heim, J.

ONE good way of keeping warm in the fall when the cold wind is blowing is to run for two and one-half miles, and that's just what the cross-country team does. Coach Moose” Krause, who has been coach- ing the squad since its beginning four years ago, led the team into thirteenth place among the teams in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. CROSS COUNTRY Captain of the team was Joe Gorman. The two best meets were against South Side, won by Gorman of Hempstead, and the one with Valley Stream, won by Diggle, Gorman second, and Dowler third, all of Hempstead. Left to right. Row I: D.

Many inexperienced ball players were brought up from the Freshman squad, while others who were unable to make varsity made J. V. Dur- ing the season Charlie Gilbert, star quarterback, was out for quite a while towards the end of the season when the heat was on for the first place position. J. V. had a record of four wins and three losses. Hempstead beat Lawrence, Mepham, Baldwin and Valley Stream, while dropping games to Sewanhaka, Freeport and Mineola, all by the same score, 19-7. The Baldwin game was the best played game of the season, although Gilbert and Fagan were both out. J. V. really romped that day by a score of 34-0. The team was a very good working team, with each man fighting his hardest. The outstanding ball players on the club were converted linesman O Rourke, fullback; Davinske, Carroll and Schenck, half- backs; Gilbert, Stevens and Fagan, quarterbacks; Piakis, left end; Wanser, guard; Pulaske, center; Mangus, tackle; O'Neill and Sclafani, linesmen. The team was coached by Mr. G. Wilson, who also served as assistant varsity coach. Mr. Wilson has coached J. V. football for three years. Coach Wilson said, I am very satisfied with the results of the team, and I have done my best to make the boys into good football players. Many of the boys who played on the championship Freshman team will be moved up to J. V., where they will gather even more experi- ence for the varsity team. In '52 many of the J. V. boys who have gained the knowledge and experience needed will make the jump to varsity. What the '52 J. V. football team will do remains to be seen, but the outlook is a good one. J. V.

FROSH FOOTBALL Mr. Luke White took over the coaching reins, while Mr. Keenan moved up as assistant varsity coach. The team was well-balanced with a strong, hard charging line, led by Margiotta, Cosmas and Coleman at end. In the backfield were Forbes at quarterback, Taylor at right half, Smolenski at fullback and Price at left half. The season was highlighted by a thrilling vic- tory over Glen Cove. The passing of Forbes to his end, Coleman, proved to be the deciding factor in the outcome of the game. Glen Cove had trouble combatting the Hub's fine defensive line and the good pass defense Hempstead set up. Yet it was a scoreless tie until Forbes hit Coleman with a long touchdown pass which, inci- dentally, turned out to be the only scoring either team did. Thus it was shown that Hempstead had a mighty good defense as well as a powerfully geared offense. Freeport, always a stubborn foe. did not have the line to stop the running of Smolenski as the little eleven won its fifth straight. In their last two games they ran wild and scored at will as Mineola and Valley Stream bit the dust. Next season many of the Freshman ball players will make the big jump to varsity and will do as good a job for their school as they did this year. Congratulations also to Mr. L. White for the outstanding job he did with the team in leading them to the championship. He truly did a wonderful job in 1951, as his first year as a Freshman football coach. 137 WRESTLING THIS year, another varsity sport was added to the roster at Hempstead High. Although it was only the first year for a varsity wrestling squad, sixty-five boys enrolled, and fifty answered roll at the last practice. Considering that this sport is new here, the boys of Hempstead High made a very commendable showing. In no match of any of the twelve meets was a Hempstead boy outfought. The squad won two meets, lost nine and tied one. The victories were over Garden City and Lynbrook, both of which had seasoned teams. The tie was with Oceanside, also having a top team. What these boys lacked in experience and knowledge, they certainly made up in aggressive- ness and determination. The coach, Mr. Tord Beck attributes the losses to inexperience but predicts a better record in the future. Outstanding records were made by Artie Szeglin, the captain of the squad in the one hundred sixty-eight pound class, Victor Moore in the one hundred fifty-seven pound class and George Carlucci in the one hundred and four- teen pound class. In eleven matches Artie pinned eight of his opponents, lost three close decisions, and was never pinned. Vic Moore pinned seven men in eleven matches, and George Carlucci pinned six in ten matches. Other outstanding mat men were: Danny Squires, Chuck Skimas, Tommy Santoro, Bob Vanatta, Jin Boyd, Frank D'Amico, Vincent Murtha, Santo Varbero and Andy Mule. Only nine letter men will be lost through gradu- ation. Thus a good rugged squad is anticipated for next season with new candidates coming in from Junior High. If the same attitude is dis- played as was by this year's squad, Hempstead should, in a few years, have a team ranking with the best. Left to right. Row I: V. Murtha. J. Boyd, T. Santoro, D.

Although a junior varsity team was a most unpredictable club this year they emerged victorious. The team certainly showed major league form in '52, winning fourteen and dropping only three. This year Kennedy, Wishart, Meddis, Sage, Stelling, Coleman, Brennan and Cheshire made up the hard-fighting team. Unfortunately, J. V. teams have no league but are permitted to play seventeen games with other schools. Hempstead also redeemed itself by winning the return games resulting from the three losses. Had there been a league we would have come out on top. The game of the year was the thriller versus Sewanhaka. Ending in a tie, the opponents went on to end the overtime period in another dead- lock with a foul called against Sewanhaka as the whistle sounded. With the pressure on, Cheshire sunk the foul to end the game, 46-45. The team’s coach, Mr. Francis, did a swell job. DRIBBLING down the court comes the Hemp- stead High School Freshman basketball team. The nucleus of the team in '52 was Don Forbes, John Ceshire, Willy Grant, Ben Kosmo, Don Johnson, Don Dombrosky, Tom Lalla, Dick Krim, Jim McClymont and Lloyd Rosenfeld. The little five had a nine-one record in league com- petition to cop the South Shore title. The team is coached by Mr. White, who has led his team to two league championships in three years of coaching. In the county championships the frosh went down while putting up a hard fight. The best game for the little Tigers was against Lawrence, which they copped 54-32. This put them in first place with Lawrence in second. From there on in it was clear sailing. Willy Grant led the Tigers in scoring, as he averaged 25 points in his last six games. With a Frosh team like that the JV and var- sity prospects are good. 139 Left to right. Row I: B. Gage. G.

But this year Hempstead High School had elves dancing in the Greek Games— well, they were not actually sprites—just the girls of the Modern Dance Club and Creative classes ably dancing their roles. Every year the girls choose a particular clas- sical god as a theme for their dances in Greek Games. The upper-class girls, carefully chosen in February, dedicated the Greek Games this year to Pan, God of Woods and Fields. The leading role of Pan was danced by Edith Fenn. The Traveler, danced by Pat Leckie and Echo by Norma Roberts. The Senior girls of the club created the lovely choreography themselves. The girls taking Modern Dance in class are eligible for membership in the club. These girls must show some dancing ability, creative ability and be willing to give up much of their time after school. The dancers must be cooperative and be able to work together. These qualities help to make their appearances on Senior Class Night and Greek Games a success, just as they have been in the past. Mrs. Tobin works patiently and encouragingly with the girls in creating the choreography of the various dances. Margie Moores is president of the Modern Dance Club and Edith Fenn serves as co-president. 140 Left to right. Row I: P. Groebly. P. Curzon, B. Kohano- wich, P. Messer. K. Gages. J. Primavera. E.

It is a great opportunity for sports-minded girls who want to enter physical education as a career, as the experience is very useful. There are four aides in each gym class, one girl acting as secretary takes charge of attend- ance and make-ups. These girls assist the teachers by instructing the students as to rules and tech- niques of playing various sports such as basket- ball, volley ball, badminton, ping pong, softball and Greek Game activities. They participate actively in the games instructing the girls as they play and have fun at the same time. Most of these girls are hard at work earning points toward their letter. To become an aide the girls must, of course, have a sound knowledge of sports. They are chosen for their ability, cooperation and attitude towards their fellow classmen. They must make a neat appearance and like to work among others. Dorothy Morlock was head of the Gym Aides the past year. Miss Mac, in her usual gay spirit, guides the girls in this venture. The aides hold meetings four times a year. At these meetings they hold discussions on how to improve the classes. They are always seeking different ways of making these classes more interesting and likeable to all. 141 Left to right. Row I: P. Leckie, E. Fenn, M. Selvaggio, N. Roberts, A. Russo, D. Sharlun.

These girls also are responsible for coaching lower classmen. Head of the Gym Aides this year is Dot Morlock and Student Chairman of the Greek Games is Helen Sormani. Co-captains of the peppy cheerleaders are Pat Leckie and Dot Sharlun. Leading the Modern Dance Club are Margaret Moores and Edith Fenn. Active members of the bowling club as well as co-leaders of their sport are Madeline Case and Helen Ahrens. Basketball is led by Helen Cochrane while softball is headed by Elizabeth Szabronski. Representing archery is Nancy Vincent and the head of the Girls' Riding Club is Ann Russo. Co-captains of the Tigerettes are Norma Roberts and Mary Ann Selvaggio. The Girls' Sports Department can be justly proud of these girls. PING PONG HEMPSTEAD HIGH, always seeking something new, unusual and entertaining, established a Ping Pong Club this year. Ping Pong, never before an extra- curricular activity, was organized into a club by Mrs. Reicher. The club consists of thirty girls under her skilled supervision. These girls, members of all four classes, meet in the gym, and play doubles. A tournament at the end of the season determines the champions. Many promising players have been discovered, among them, Pat Small and Nancy Vincent, first place winners; Joan Dawson and Phyllis Rennebaum, who copped second place; and Sybil Cummings and Marion Thompson, who finished third. This new venture, featuring Nancy Vincent as student leader, and Joan Dawson as co-leader, has become a great success. Let's wish them luck in the future. GIRLS' BASKETBALL BASKETBALL is a sport that is not limited to boys only, for the girls of our school are very active in this sport too. These female cagers are skillfully headed by Miss MacCallum, who is in charge of Juniors and Seniors, and by Miss Prediger who coaches the Sophomores. The girls compete with class teams to determine who is to play on Playday. This year Capt. Helen Cochrane’s Junior and Senior first team defeated the second team, which was captained by Irene Butterworth. As a result of this victory they played an invitation game at Great Neck, with the Cubs winning one of the two games. The Sophomores invited Great Neck Sophomores to come here on February 18th. The home team took both games. The weaker sex may get skinned knees and elbows but they all agree it is fun. 143 Left to right. Row I: M. Anson, S. Mereday, B. Kohanowich, I. Butterworth, E. Dean. E.

Oh, if great- grandmother ever saw Hempstead girls playing softball, would she be shocked! It might have been shocking years ago, but today, girls' softball is very popular. More than one hundred and forty play under the helpful, smiling authority of Miss MacCallum. The teams play against each other; upper classmen against lower. This year the Seniors vanquished the Juniors, while the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen. The girls played their annual Sports Day game at St. Mary s this past season. Catherine Gay was appointed their leader. Great Neck took first and Hempstead placed second. 1 ’ IT'S a strike! Of course we refer to the girls | Bowling Club, a group whose membership and popularity have increased greatly in the past few years. The club is divided into two groups, the Freshmen and Sophomores and the Juniors and Seniors. Ably advised by Miss Silver and Miss Rowles, the keglers make their headquarters at the Hempstead Recreation Center. Top scorer for the Jrs. and Srs. was Madeleine Case with 108 and tops among the Frosh and Sophs was Helen Ahrens with 90. This year's Junior-Senior leader is Madeleine Case and Helen Ahrens is the Freshmen-Sopho- more leader. 144 Left to right. Row I: C. Fitz- gerald, A. Russo, N. Vincent, L. Burtis, E. Bensen, T.

GIRLS' RIDING CLUB BADMINTON ANY sunny Tuesday afternoon the Mayfair Riding Academy becomes the meeting place for the twenty-three members of the Girls Riding Club. After mounting their spirited steeds'' these active girls are ready to ride the length of Hempstead Lake State Park. Do I hear someone saying: Do these girls ride horseback as women drive? The answer is a resounding No. These girls are some of the finest horse- back riders in Hempstead High School. In June 1952 the girls are having a horse show in which three schools are participating. Their faculty advisor is Miss Prediger with Ann Russo as the student sport leader or president. WATCH the Birdie! No, it's not the Photography Club, but the very popu- lar sport of Badminton. After hard practice ses- sions, the girls who participate in this sport are ready to enter into competition with other schools. The Freshmen and Sophomores practiced on Monday and Wednesday while the Juniors and Seniors played on Tuesday and Thursday. It didn't take the girls long to produce a good team. The Hempstead team won the match with Baldwin and placed third in a Sports Day meet with Garden City, St. Mary's and Manhasset. Irene Butterworth is leader of Badminton for 1952. 145 GREEK GAMES MY LAND! What are those girls doing? Running around like that in those scanty costumes, they'll catch their death o' cold! It sounds funny, but that's what our great-grandmothers might say if they saw the girls pre- paring for the sixteenth annual production of the Greek Games. Of course, the athletes don't catch cold and their performance provides a very entertaining evening. In 1951, instead of the traditional Freshmen against Sophomores, there were two teams, the Athenians and the Spartans, composed equally of both Frosh and Sophs. Zeus, the King of the Gods, was honored. The winning ode was composed by Elsa Steinbrenner, a Spartan. The winning cover design was drawn by Susan Cochrane, and the winning chariot design by Joan Thibodeau, both Spartans. After the outstanding entrance of the Athenians and the Spartans, the Girls Glee Club sang the Greek National Anthem. The Invocation to Zeus and the Oath to Athletes were then given by the Athenian Priestess, Janet Martz, and the Spartan Priestess, Mary Lowe. An original dance, Olympus, was performed by the Modern Dance Club. Featured in the dance were Margie Moores as Zeus, Sue Crandell as Aphrodite and Joan Van Ness as Hera, wife of Zeus. The Games started with hurdling, won by Mary Minkie- wich, an Athenian, and the Athenians triumphed again as Carol Carman showed top form in discus throwing. The hoop race ended in a tie with the Athenians, led by Irene Butterworth, winning first race and the Spartans, led by Carol Rorech, taking second. Following these was the Torch First picture: J. Martz, M. Lowe. Second picture: R. Humphries. J. Baldwin, N. Saure. Third picture: J. VanNess. M. Moores. Fourth picture: G. Anderson. A. Hohlen. Fifth picture: J. Turner. H. Turner. Zgus: M. Moores. Charioteer: M. Robinson. Horses: D. Molter, B. LIszcz, P. Plender, E. Dobler. Race, which both Spartan teams won, led by Bar- bara Payne and Carol Wittine. Everyone looked forward to the colorful and ex- citing Chariot Exhibition. The Spartan horses, Helen Brown, Lynn Doyle, Judy Muller and Carol Storms, with Charioteer Peggy Lobdell, won in a close decision. It was then announced that the Spartans had won the Entrance, and the Wreath Ceremony soon followed. The Spartans won a crushing victory over the Athenians by a score of 75-25. Weeks of hard work were left behind as the weary athletes left the floor and the Greek Games of 1951 came to an end. Challenger: H. Shybunko. 8 I BUSINESS DIRECTORY Aqnew Geisler, Inc.

HOLLY PATTERSON HERE is a late bulletin on spring sports: GOLF: Starting off to another triumphant season as of May 5, 1952, the linksmen had won four and were defeated in none. Mr. Faust, entering his twenty-third year as coach, had Ben Klemanowitz as the team captain. Bob Van de Water shot a 78 in a non-league match with Chaminade. The future looks very bright for another first-place team. BASEBALL: Mr. Schuessler's Tigers up to now have won five and dropped three. The best game Hempstead had so far was against Free- port which was won 10-5. Bob Collins had rough going in the first but Ken Rossano came in and put out the fire. The outlook for the future looks very bright although there are many more games to go. SOFTBALL: After having an undefeated sea- son last year, the Tigers have felt a little down- hearted because their record to date is two wins and one loss. The best game the team had was a 13-1 no-hit game pitched by Alvin Coleman against South Side. The loss to Long Beach was caused by poor base-running, which is now being corrected. The batting average for the team is .223 and the highest batting average, .571, is held by Alvin Coleman. Mr. Keenan says the prospects are good for a first-place team. TRACK: A very much underrated team, the track team showed the experts they weren't right. The men of Mercury have won five meets so far and have lost none. It looks as though the track team has a championship in sight. Gary Glier broke the Long Island pole vault record with a jump of I I feet, 6 inches. The outstanding men so far this season are: Gorman, mile: Dowler, 1 4 mile: Bythewood, 100 yard and high jump: Shugrhue, 2 mile; Lex Gay, high jump and captain. Mr. Krause, back as coach, is optimistic in his outlook. TENNIS: A team that started out with the odds against them are at this moment climbing back. They have only one win against three de- feats. The team is a little rusty, but they're regaining. Don Arnaud is the only returning varsity man.

The Brook- lyn Dodgers versus the New York Giants for the 1951 baseball pennant. At the bottom of the ninth inning, Brooklyn was leading, four to one. Listening to the radio in the teachers' room, sat Mr. Beale, a red-hot Brooklyn fan, smiling happily. Then disaster struck. Thompson’s home run had won the ball game for the Giants. Mr. Beale walked dejectedly from the room to go on hall duty. There sitting quietly, he dozed off while his subconscious mind replayed the game: Thompson hits into a doubleplay and the Dodgers win. The sudden ringing of the bell startled him out of his pleasant reverie and he walked slowly back to the office realizing that he had indulged in wishful thinking. Gazing at the mourning band clasped on his mail box, Mr. Beale smiled ruefully and uttered the famous Dodger fan classic wait till next year. HEmpstead 2-10070 Mollineaux Associates, Inc.

STUDENT COUNCIL TEA THIS year many new teachers were welcomed to Hempstead High. In October the members of the Student Council held a team for them. The tete-a-tete was held after school hours in the teachers’ cafeteria. During the tea, the new members of our faculty became acquainted with the outstanding students of Hempstead. Each member, a leader of some club or activity, told about his or her particular organization. The council's president, Gail Moore, told of the or- ganization and functions of the Student Council. The new teachers spoke of their experiences in a new school. Each teacher was sponsored by an older teacher of the school, who showed the new members around. The teachers welcomed were Robert Baker, Thomas Chambers, Charles Chase, Miss Rose Congiu, Donald Francis, Mrs. Ruth Gaffga, Ken- neth Lawson, Mathew Murphy, Richard Parker, Miss Leah Rosen, Roy Ketchum.

COMMENCEMENT THE joyous yet sad day we graduate from Hempstead High for most of us means fare- well. We've reached another milestone and all the roads of life are open to us—all of them are paved with hope, ambition, and aspirations. We can start off, secure, and eager to face the future, never forgetting, however, the smaller paths of Hempstead High where we ran or stum- bled, skipped or skidded as our Alma Mater smoothed out the rough spots and opened up the shining vistas that lie ahead. We are on our way and this happy beginning we awaited so avidly is tinged with nostalgic sadness. In return for all we've taken from our wonderful high school, we, the class of 1952, leave behind a little of our hearts and an awful lot of our love. Tel.

N. Y. TOM THORP AWARD THE highest honor that can be bestowed upon a high school football player is Newsday's Tom Thorp Memorial Award. In 1951 this tribute was paid to our own Dick Martin, out- standing halfback of the championship Hemp- stead High School football team. Competing for this award were all of Nassau County's scholastic football players. To be eligible for the award more is required than outstanding ability in football; a candidate must have the qualities of a leader, outstanding personality, and have honor marks in his academic studies. Now about our hero, Dick Martin. Dick is 17 years of age and, as everyone says, a great guy. As a halfback, Dick compiled ten touchdowns, seventeen extra points, and the lone field goal kicked in '52 in Nassau. The Nassau coaches who pick the player for the award claim that Dick was the most outstand- ing high school football player they had seen. Congratulations Class of 1952 Exclusively Styled A.

COLONIAL CHRISTMAS PARTY I I ERE comes Santa Claus! and what a I | Santa Claus he was with his nose like a cherry, and his tummy that shook like a bowl full of jelly! He had his pack filled with Christmas gifts for all good Colonial members. Santa came on December twentieth and climbed down the chimney of the teacher's cafeteria in Hempstead High. And what to his wondering eyes should appear but a room lit up and all decked out breathlessly waiting for his arrival. After he had emptied his pack he was seated in the place of honor, wined, dined, and entertained. They soon showed him how to play Beat the Clock and many of their other games before he left not to appear again for another year. This year's Colonial Staff and advisors will well remember their Christmas party because of the good time they all had.

CUSTODIANS WHENEVER a locker has to be clipped, a window in need of repair, or a hundred and one other odd jobs to be done, there is always a custodian ready to lend a helping hand. This year Hempstead had a clean-up campaign in which all the students participated. Posters were hung on the walls stressing the need to keep Hempstead neat and clean. Everyone was anxious to help out, in lessening the duties of the custodians and enabling them to look after more important matters about the school and its properties. During the winter, when as usual the weather was cold and icy, wasn't it wonderful to walk up the cleared walks without fear of breaking a leg because of the ice and wasn't it equally as nice to walk into a warm building? Our thanks to the custodians for their efforts toward keep- ing Hempstead High School spic and span.

The dance, sponsored by the cheerleaders and Varsity Club, was a tremendous success enjoyed by all. Appropriately attired in their neatest and cleanest dungarees the refugees from Dogpatch wore themselves out dancing to the corny music of Bob Lloyd's band. Entertainment was provided by Hempstead High students; with Bob Richardson as Master of Ceremonies. Shmoos and Dogpatch charac- ters adorned the gym. Refreshments were sold. Clark Nagel and Carol Meadows were crowned Little Abner and Daisy Mae, receiving gift cer- tificates to two of the local Hempstead stores. The exciting, unforgettable Broom Dance pro- vided an opportunity for dancing with old friends as well as new ones. Through the hard work and co-operation of all, the Sadie Hawkins dance was a terrific success and the pleasant memories of this event will linger for a long, long time.

CHUNG-WHA-LEE CHUNG-WHA-LEE, the Korean girl who visited our school last January, was as in- terested in our way of life as we were in hers. Chung was able to visit our country as a result of winning a nation-wide Korean contest. The first essay that had to be written limited the number of contestants to less than two hundred. After a second essay, this time on the subject of the U. N., Chung was one of a few selected for the personal interview. When she arrived in Hempstead, one of her many stops, she was feted at a tea given jointly by the Pen and Ink Club and the Student Council. Here she told of her life in Korea. Her father, a well-known novelist, brought her up in a spiritual atmosphere. She was sent to Ewha High School where she studied languages, primarily English, music, art, and science. During Korean hostilities Chung's family lost all their property and went to Pusan. Later, her mother was able to open a hospital and Chung was able to return to Ewha High. Despite certain differences in customs, we soon realized that Chung's interests and desires do not differ significantly from ours. We were fortunate to have her as a visitor. 174 THETA PHI DELTA Joan Lapsansky. President Janice Ratchelous.

It was their fourth winning of the Rutgers Award given to the most outstanding high school foot- ball team on Long Island. No other school on the Island has won this award more than twice, thus Hempstead is in a class by itself. Each time Hempstead received the award, a Schuessler” has been associated with our team. In 1939 Mr. Robert Scheussler, the coach of the present football team, was on the team that won the first trophy which makes him the only one who has both played and coached a champion- ship team. In 1947 and 1948 when Hempstead won it again, Mr. Scheussler's brother, Don, played on the team. The presentation of the trophy was made to Mr. Scheussler, Santo Varbero, and Dick Martin. Dick Martin also received the Tom Thorpe Award and the Bucknell Trophy given to the outstand- ing all-around Long Island athlete. Santo Varbero was the outstanding guard on the Long Island all-scholastic football team. HEmpstead 2-9444 TEXTILE OUTLET CO. Yard Goods and Trimmings 35 MAIN STREET HEMPSTEAD, N. Y. JESS WHITE, Inc.

Upon arrival at the studio, they were both made-up and were introduced to the program’s producer and director. During the intermissions Miss Taft and Carole were in- terviewed about Hempstead High School by Karl Caruso, the program's host, for a total of twelve minutes. While Miss Taft was being further interviewed Carole, who was chosen for this task because she plans to make a career of home economics, prepared two dishes using the sponsor's products. After the show Miss Taft and Carole were shown around the studio and pictures were taken. As a result of her appearance people have been approaching Carole steadily asking ques- tions and commenting on it. We are certainly proud of our Home Ec Celebrities. HEmpstead 2-3641 LILLIAN E.

The party began with the salute to the flag—the honor guards were the class officers, Brian Gage, Robert Marino, Joan Lynch, and Elsie Dobler. Miss Ignelzi, a class advisor, led the group in singing, with Elsie Dobler accompanying them on the piano. A king and queen were chosen by a drawing of lucky prizes from the refreshment stand. The honors, announced by Brian Gage, went to Barbara Shalala and Cassimer Cegelski. The excited winners were crowned by the sopho- more advisor, Mrs. Greenlund. Halloween being the theme of the party, the gym was decorated with orange and black, the traditional Halloween colors. The remainder of the time was spent in folk and square dancing, led by Mr. Franz, who was assisted by Howard Harris. With the spirit of the class behind it, the party was a huge success.

The booth was set up on the second floor near the main stairway where members of the Colonial Staff were on the job before the upperclassmen's first class until after the Freshmen had gone home. There were always at least three members at the booth taking subscriptions and answering numerous questions about the new Colonial. This year the number of subscriptions reached a new high. Mr. Davidson who supervised this successful enterprise was at the booth daily to see that everything ran as smoothly as possible. Thanks should be given to the student body and teachers for their cooperation and encouragement which helped to make Colonial Week the wonderful success it was. 182 HENNIG'S BAKE SHOP HEmpstead 2-0422 NASSAU DECORATORS Re-upholstering - Slipcovers - Draperies Custom Made Furniture 306 FULTON AVENUE HEMPSTEAD, N.

SENIOR-FROSH DAY THIS year, as always, during the first week of November, the Freshman girls were officially acknowledged in our school circles. This event was marked by the annual Senior-Frosh Day. The Freshman girls looked unusually sweet in their bonnets, knee socks, and short skirts. Naturally they had an ample supply of lolly pops for those who wished them. The Senior girls looked motherly, indeed, with their crisp and frilly aprons, enormous bows, and big dolls. The big day came to an end with a bang—a big party was given by the Senior girls in honor of their younger sisters. Paula Cahill, vice-presi- dent of the Senior class, was in charge of the entire affair and also acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. The entertainment was quite diversi- fied, ranging from songs, through a tap dance routine, a chorus line, a twirling exhibition, and a piano solo by our own Mr. Menza. During the Grand March, around the Boy's gym five girls were selected to represent the Freshman group. Margot Lyons was chosen as the cutest; Joan Mardowski for the cutest smile; Ellen Schnepper for the prettiest hair; Joan Bridenbach the most original costume, and Lorrie Remer because she most typified the Freshman girl. 184 FULTON SHOPS FOR THE WELL DRESSED WOMAN Coats - Suits - Dresses - Bridals - Formals - Lingerie - Sportswear 255 FULTON AVENUE HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK HE 2-9655 Tel.

The Harvest Hop was the first of what we hope will be many more school dances with admission free to G. O. holders. Pat Leckie was the chairwoman of the dance. Angie Margiotta and her crew transformed the gym into a harvest scene with cornstalks and leaves. Dancing to the music of the accomplished accordionist, Herman Stenzler and his band, the floor was crowed with more than five hundred students. The Cerebral Palsy poster girl, Mary Farenga, who had previously been entertained by President Truman at the White House, was the guest of honor at our Harvest Hop. As part of the entertainment she graciously consented to sing a few songs. For those who needed to refuel, refreshments were sold. The proceeds of the dance, which amounted to a little over a hundred dollars, were con- tributed to the Cerebral Palsy Fund. HEmpstead 2-9299 McMAHON’S Stationery 8 HOMAN BLVD.

ASSEMBLY BROWN’S Jewelers and Silversmiths 249 FULTON AVENUE HEmpstead 2-3480 Serving Long Island Families with Reliability Since 1907 BONDED PERFECT DIAMONDS FLORENCE'S HARDWARE HEMPSTEAD NEW YORK THE appropriate theme of the Leap Year G. O. Assembly was the perpetual chase after the hapless male by the undaunted female. Our harassed masculine friend, a football player, acted very convincingly by Alvin Fritz was pur- sued by ten lovely senior members of the Tiger- ettes, hence the title ' Ten-to-One. Entertainment was offered to Sultan Fritz and his fetching harem by many performers, who were introduced by a gong and Martin Slclaire in a borrowed fez. The Sultan's troubles ended with the advent of the baseball season when the girl's affections wandered to Bruce Corrie. The performances were given, one for the Juniors and Seniors, and another for the Fresh- men and Sophomores, and an evening perform- ance for the P. T. A. The assembly sponsored by the Student Council, and written and directed by one of the advisors, Miss Newlon, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. 188 WE DELIVER HEmpstead 2 2474 FALLER'S DELICATESSEN Fancy Groceries - Salads - Frozen Foods 486 HEMPSTEAD AVENUE WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.
