Hempstead High School - Colonial Yearbook (Hempstead, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 206 of the 1957 volume:

HEMPSTEAD HIGH SCHOOL HEMPSTEAD, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK COLONIAL Because of your infinite patience, deep understanding of the individual, and untiring efforts to mold the minds, spirits, and lives of your students, we, the Colonial Staff of 1957, dedicate this book to you—Miss Ruth Taft. Being a teacher, you have followed an honored profession in which you devoted your life to such services as teaching home economics and being junior class advisor. As a teacher’s life effects eternity, so may your life continue to cast its influence and, in so doing, replete your years to come with health, happiness, and success. In 1776, our forefathers ‘‘brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. With this to guide them, the thirteen original colonies became one nation known to the world as the United States of America. In a tribute to our country and its founders, we, the Colonial Staff, have chosen as our theme, ‘‘The Spirit of ’76. Throughout the pages of this book we have expressed pride in America’s heritage. In addition to ideals proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, the symbols that have grown to rep- resent life during that period have been developed. Thus, as you leaf through the book may this spirit serve as an inspiration not only at this time but also in the years to come.

Tunnicliffc Jones, School Attorney. THE Board of Education is the governing body of our school and district. All important matters concerning the school must be approved by the Board. The members make many deci- sions. Examples include problems concerning the teachers, the spending of money for the building of new schools and the maintenance of the pres- ent ones. Other school policies and problems are also capably handled. There are five members, serving five year terms, and are elected at the rate of one each year by the taxpayers of the district. Their num- ber is made up of people who reside in the dis- trict. Dr. W. Amos Kincaid, the Superintendent of Schools, acts as an advisor to the Board. The officers of this group are chosen by the members of the Board of Education. The board meets once a month and occasionally a special meeting is held. We owe our sincerest gratitude to the Board of Education for all the hard work it has done and will continue to do for the well being of the school and the education of its pupils. 10 THE position of Superintendent of Schools re- quires a capable administrator which is the reason Dr. Kincaid came to our community 10 years ago. His interest in students and student life has benefited the Hempstead schools in many ways. He has devoted limitless time and energy to their improvement. A native Ohioan, Dr. Kincaid attended ele- mentary and high school there, and went on to the University of Ohio where he received his first college degree. After earning his Master's Degree and Doctor of Education at Columbia, Dr. Kincaid served as Superintendent of Schools in Montpelier, Vermont, for eleven years. His next position as superintendent was in Summit, New Jersey. With his excellent background, we are fortunate in having Dr. Kincaid as our super- intendent. A typical day for Dr. Kincaid may include anything from visiting the schools in this district and appearing at civic association meetings to attending club luncheons. With such a busy schedule. Dr. Kincaid still finds some extra time for his favorite pastimes, golf, badminton, fish- ing, a good game of bridge, or reading. During the summer. Dr. Kincaid spends his well earned vacation at his hideaway in Cutch- ogue. Long Island. DR. W. AMOS KINCAID Superintendent of Schools 1 1 WILLIAM D. BEDDOW Principal DURING the thirty-five years that Mr. Beddow, our principal, has been at Hempstead High, it has grown tremendously in spirit and reputa- tion. With his interest in the guidance department and the pupils, Mr. Beddow keeps well informed on student activities. As busy as he is, Mr. Bed- dow's Welcome Mat is always out for anyone desiring his advice. Having two teenagers who graduated from Hempstead High, he has a fa- ther's understanding of the trials and tribulations of a high school student. Since he was formerly a teacher, Mr. Beddow also has a deep under- standing of the problems faced in the classroom. Just a boy at heart, Mr. Beddow enjoys football games as much as any student and is very proud of the miniature tiger mascot pre- sented to him last year by the Student Council. A greater variety of extra-curricular activities with more student participation is one of our principal's many ambitions for the school. His favorite sport is fishing, although he ven- tured to reveal that he used to practice bad- minton with two star players on our girls' team. We are extremely proud to have Mr. Beddow as our principal and hope that his competent leadership continues to guide us for many years. 12 ALFRED P. WINDT Assistant to the Principal FRANK Pill, JR. Director of Guidance E. CARLETON MOORE Curriculum Coordinator Jlclmini5trative Issistants HEMPSTEAD HIGH SCHOOL has three admin- istrative assistants. Mr. Windt, assistant to the principal, started in Hempstead High School as a mathematics teacher. He is co-author of a book pertaining to mathematics, entitled Every- day Algebra. At present he is in charge of at- tendance and discipline, and also supervises extracurricular activities, athletic finances, and keeps records of the point system. Mr. Windt graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Civil Engineering, and received his Master's Degree from Teacher's College at Columbia. He also attended Hofstra College in Hempstead and the University of Rochester. Mr. Windt is com- monly known as Mr. P. T. A. to the members of the organization. He is also on the board of the Hempstead Y. M. C. A. For recreation from his many important duties, he spends his summers with his family at Camden, Maine. Mr. Pill, who is the guidance director of Hempstead High School, helps students to decide what college is best suited for them after they graduate. Many students go to him for his ex- cellent advice concerning these matters. He in- terviews parents and students, except sopho- mores and non-academic juniors and seniors. Mr. Pill goes to the elementary schools in Hemp- stead to advise the eighth grade students what courses are best suited for their future plans. His staff includes several secretarial assistants. The third administrative assistant is Mr. Moore, who is curriculum coordinator. Through his de- partment it is decided which subjects the ele- mentary schools should offer in order to prepare the students for high school. Mr. Moore is also the director of audio-visual education which is an important factor in modern day education. The work of these three administrators in the functioning of Hempstead High School is very important. The Colonial staff and other students are deeply indebted to them for their many accomplishments. 13 Lett to right, Row I: May Barth, Martin Aoronson, Robert Baker, Mary Church, Sonia Dorwin. Row II.

English is the only course in which, to graduate, everyone must complete four years. There are many different courses in English offered in Hempstead. These include studying grammar in order to speak and write correctly, and the reading of English and American classics and poetry. This helps to provide a more liberal and well-rounded education, especially important to those students whose education is otherwise quite specialized. Students also cover a certain amount of work in original composition which gives them prac- tice in research, thinking, analyzing, and im- proving their vocabulary. In place of the usual senior English course, qualified students may take a course in advanced English or creative writing. Reading is an essential part of Miss Sproule's English Class. CLitizendli T THE dire need for good citizens is much greater today than it has ever been. The Citizenship Education Department here at Hempstead High School, which is headed by Mrs. Vincent, en- deavors to fill this pressing need by preparing students to take their places in the world as well- informed and conscientious citizens. In order to Discussing world affairs with Miss Tripp's World History class. achieve this goal an awareness of current events and the effects of past history on these events, is aroused in the students during the course of their studies. The various courses offered by the department are Economic World, World History, and American History which all students are re- quired to take. In addition two elective courses of Modern Civilization and Social Living are offered for the Sophomore or Senior year. Cur- rent events are covered in all of these courses left to right, Row I: Alison Vincent, Florence Abbott, Frank Fish. Row II: Flora Gunnerson, Bernice Marshall, John Mills. with film strips and panel discussions being two of the means used to arouse interest. Special reading, reports and projects are also used to augment the studies. All of these factors help to contribute to properly educated and enlight- ened citizens. These people are properly pre- pared to take their places in this modern world and to uphold and carry forward our democratic ideals. left to right, Row I; Dorothy Owen, Frank Rogo, John Tree.

Students at Hempstead High have an opportunity to learn French, Spanish, German cr Latin from highly qualified instructors. The study of a foreign language does not only mean learning its grammar and vocabulary, but also includes teaching the culture and history of the nation. Those really interested in the lan- guage can learn more about it through one of the foreign language clubs. Through the teachers of the language department, the student can vicariously experience a visit to a foreign land. Filled with the enticing aroma of foreign dishes, lively colored costumes, and mysterious sounds echoing through the streets, these new enchant- ing lands radiate a never ending story of peo- ple and places. When one can speak a foreign tongue, it makes him more eager to visit the country. Mod- ern transportation makes it easy to travel abroad. A visit to another country would be much more enjoyable if you had some understanding of its language. Espanol with Mrs. Stilger. 16 Left to right, Row I: Robert Hayes, Robert Ayres.

OUR Mathematics Department is organized to serve those students who intend to use this valuable subject in their vocations and those who desire to gain practical training for everyday life. For our future scientists and mathematicians the department offers a strong foundation. This year it has been decided to enlarge and improve the upper class mathematics curriculum to afford our mathematically inclined students an even bet- ter background for college studies. With the new curriculum, the teachers are instructing our stu- dents in more advanced mathematics in the same length of time. It will certainly help the students to meet keener competition in technological and scientific fields. It is in line with a nation-wide renewal of interest on how to provide this coun- try with more and better mathematicians and scientists. The students of Hempstead High School have gained many values from algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. We have been taught how to think and analyze, whether we are having dis- cussions with friends, solving problems, or form- ing opinions. The ability to organize our thoughts has been developed by doing word problems and by graphing and solving equations. Belonging to the Tupiar Club is a way for interested students to pursue their studies. Every- thing the department does is toward the goal of interesting more students in higher mathematics.

This is because of the higher requirements of the New York State Board of Regents. The general science course in particular, has become more difficult. Today, we are living in the atomic age, an age of science. The future of this age is in the hands of the scie ice students of today. From our science classes we shall find our future geologists, doctors, and biologists. Courses in physics and chemistry will help prepare students for futures in the fields of engineering, atomic energy, or chemical research. From our well equipped lab- oratories will come the experimentalists of to- morrow. Our science courses also enable us to better understand the world around us. The fu- ture of America is in the hands of the youth of today, and science is the future of America. 18 Left to right. Row . Viola Dendy, Maurice Levin. Row II. Martin Lind, Harold Lints.

THIS Department offers a wide coverage in the field of commerce for students interested in positions with business organizations. Hundreds of students upon graduation enter college or the business world. It does not take long for them to realize the importance of the instruction received at Hempstead High School. Their superior background helps them to rapidly ascend the ladder of success. Among the projects undertaken by the depart- ment this past year was an occupational survey of employers in Hempstead. This was to ascertain what business subjects should be emphasized in relation to the needs of business in this com- munity. A meeting of all department chairmen was also held with various Hempstead employers to show how each department prepares its students to take their places in the community business organizations. As the community moves forward so does the efficient Business Education Department of Hemp- stead High School. 19 Left to right: Ruth Toft, Marion Bennett, Mary Bowen, Fred Pilkingtoo, Mary Oman. . trom em ah in a THE chairman of the Homemaking Department is Miss Taft, who has been a teacher in Hemp- stead High School for twenty-six years.

Under the competent leadership of Miss Boyle, the students achieve a greater understanding of this art, which is superbly dis- played at its outstanding winter and spring con- certs. The repertoire, throughout the year, spotlights the major essentials of music as performed by the orchestra, band, choir, and glee clubs, all of which compose this department. THE Dramatics Department specializes in the study and application of public speaking and drama. Public speaking develops the student’s poise, self expression and speaking ability. This is car- ried on under the guidance of Miss Randall, chairman of the department. Drama provides the students with experience in one of the most fasci- nating of the communicative arts. During the course of the year, the entire school enjoys the numerous productions presented by this department.

Theory classes are held three times a week. Here the students have an opportunity to learn all about the automobile and how it functions. Once a week they are given road training and at the termination of the course are ready for the state road test. The Industrial Arts Department at the Prospect Street School which offers courses in general metal, electricity, and wood and leather working, is under the able direction of Mr. Monsell and his staff. Its wide scope makes it possible to obtain a well-rounded background in the understanding of tools and machines, industrial processes, work- ing conditions, problems of industry and labor and the processing of raw materials into finished products.

The health office is the infirmary for anything from a broken arm to a stomach ache, thus ren- dering first aid to the teachers, students and custodians. Here, cases are handled by either Miss Best, the school nurse, or Doctor S. A. Combes, our school physician. Another division, the Physical Education De- partment, consists of the boys' and girls' ath- letic activities. The boys' predominant sports are football and basketball followed by wrestling, bowling, track, and softball. The girls take part in softball and basketball, but nothing is more exciting than their prepara- tions for Greek Games. Therefore, you can see why health and physical fitness go hand in hand in establishing sound citizens. B. Voorhies gives R. Campanella medical aid.

COUNSELING is extremely important to the future life of a student. The counselors work together with the individual student and his par- ents in channeling the student's aims and abilities into the proper courses of study. Freshmen are advised by Mr. Prahl, and Sophomores by Miss MacDougall. Mr. Pill advises the academic juniors and seniors as to the requirements of a college or university. Commercial and vocational juniors and seniors are aided by Mr. Turnbull in choos- ing a vocational school or in securing a position. Every student has had occasion to use Hemp- stead High’s well stocked libraries. Miss Rhodes is in charge of ordering all the new library books and supervising the main library; Mrs. Cullen the senior library, and Mrs. Anderson the textbook section of this very efficient department.

These girls are well informed on matters concerning the school and its students. All records and transcripts are handled by the secretaries in office 1A. Mrs. Siegmann, also located there, is the student activities treasurer and handles all school banking. Mrs. Pashley and her assistant, Evelyn Wolf, find themselves busy taking care of the swi'chboard and attend- ing to Mr. Beddow’s official bus'ness. In office 2, the girls take charge of all the typing and cor- respondence. In offices 4 and 5, they take change of all correspondence and filing pertaining to guidance. Also, they arrange student interviews, in order to help the students plan for the future. To obtain their position in the school's admin- istration, all of them have taken Civil Service Examinat’ons. These girls have been picked on the basis of appearance, personality and training in business education. They have proven themselves to be efficient, polite and courteous. an i Secret a ri eA Left to right. Row I: Eileen Brennan, May Duryea, Jane Merrick.

That was the motto to be symbolic of your outlook on life after leaving Hempstead High. Your flower was the White Rose. Blue and silver was your choice of colors to be representative of the Class of '57 graduated in June. Leading your senior class was Johnny Edwards, President. His leadership was not confined to this position. He was co-captain of our varsity football squad, four year member of the Honor Club, three year member of the Student Council, sports editor of the Patriot and president of his Junior Class. In addition, he still found time to pursue such interests as swimming and learning the Cha-Cha. Working right along with Johnny, as vice- president was versatile, active Brenda Baskind. She held the office of secretary of your class when you were juniors. She was art editor of the Patriot. Brenda made a great cheerleader. You were proud to have her represent the school as Miss Arnold Constable.” Sally Dunmore, class secretary, held the same position in her sophomore year. In her junior year, she headed the Colonial art staff. Along the same line, Sally was a member of the Sketch Club. Much of her spare time was spent par- ticipating in the band show and following hob- bies, such as music and art. Popular George Bookie Bookhard was elected as your class treasurer. He was known to many in the past as an asset to the basketball team, of which he was captain the senior year. ADVISORS Left to right: Mr. lints, Mrs. Dendy, Mr. Lawson. There were other people who helped you to make your many contributions to Hempstead High. There was your Booster Club president. Student Council president, Patriot editor, and the Colonial editor. You owed a great deal to your chief class advisor Mr. Lints; the other advisors, Mrs. Dendi and Mr. Lawson; and your guidance counselors, Mr. Pill and Mr. Turnbull. All those people and activities helped mold you so that when you said, Your goal is your Life, you had a high goal in mind. M. Binday, D. Richardson, B. Faust, S.

Senior Executive K ounci DEMOCRACY in the senior class is provided by the Senior Executive Council, which is composed of representatives chosen in Septem- ber by each American History class. The Council works for the benefit of the seniors, and decides their schedule of activities for the year. It only acts upon those activities which are approved by the class as a whole. The officers of the senior class this year, who took their positions on the Council and assumed the great responsibility of keeping this democ- racy, were John Edwards, president; Brenda Bas- kind, vice-president; Sally Dunmore, secretary, and George Bookhard, treasurer. Under the excellent guidance of Mr. Lints, the council ful- filled ils responsibility with great success. This year the D. A. R. and S. A. R. awards were given to the senior girl and boy who were the most outstanding in their class. The senior class motto, flower and color were suggested by the class, and the council selected the best three in each field and the seniors voted on them. The theme of the Senior Ball was chosen mainly by the Art Department and the Senior Executive Council. The council decided on the three themes it would prefer and the Art De- partment picked the one that would be the most suitable. This dance is one of the main events in the senior year. This year the Council decided on Senior Week, a week devoted mainly for the interest and en- joyment of the senior class. Another day eagerly awaited by all classes, whether freshman, sopho- more, junior or senior, and carried out under the excellent supervision of the council, was Senior-Frosh Day. This year, as always, the Senior Executive Council has successfully guided its fellow class- mates through another year. It has proven that it can undertake and complete the problems and activities facing the senior class with little diffi- culty and great efficiency. 30 The crowded ballroom. resembling an African hut, invited you to dance beneath a tangle of tropical vines. The brilliant totem pole and the murals featuring colorful flamingos provided a contrast with the greens and blues of the jungle. Refreshments were served from a huge witch doctor’s mask.

We will remember Jim Edwards, Lynn Puersch- ner, Judy Krug, and Jeanette Duggan who so successfully guided our class through the year as president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Some of the other things we will remember about our class officers will be connected with other school activities. We will think of Jimmy Edwards as a fine football player; Lynn Puersch- ner as a member of the principal’s Service Squad, Student Council and the Latin and French clubs; Judy Krug as a J. V. cheerleader, repre- sentative from our homeroom, member of the amor choir, and a Key Klicker, and Jeanette Duggan as a business staff member of the Colonial, J. V. Cheerleader, and a Key Klicker. We will recall fond memories of our prom, the junior assembly, and the day those long awaited class rings arrived. Recollections will include the study halls, lunch periods, three min- utes between classes, favorite teachers and crowded lockers. The class advisors Miss Taft, Miss Abbott, Miss Dorwin and Mr. Zara will be remembered for the unselfish help and guidance given to us. We will recall all the things which had a part in making our junior year so successful, enjoy- able and memorable. Mt to right. Row I: J. Stejanuk, G. Zoll, A. Wilson, A. Rosenberg, L. Ritt, D.

However, after the first two or three weeks they calm down and accept their responsibilities in a satisfactory manner. Freshman activities begin when a day called Senior-Frosh Day is proclaimed. The Freshman girls dress as babies with lollipops, and the Senior girls dress as mothers carrying dolls. Lollipops are given to Senior girls by Freshman, and a party after school, ends festivities for the day. Left to right, Row I: M. Casey, D. Wilber, C. Corruthers, B. Van Emon, F.

LAST year, with the election of officers, the student council started its full program. This was evidenced by posters displaying the candi- dates, and each student wearing his favorite candidate’s button. The week before election everyone gathered in the boys' gym to hear campaign speeches and to dance afterward. Bill Ausman was elected president, and Harriet Gilbert was elected vice president. Serving as recording secretary and corresponding secre- tary were Barbara Voorhies and Carole Nathan, respectively. Handling the money problems was Gary Cohan. This fall, in the homerooms, there was an election of a senator and his alternate to rep- resent the homeroom at the student council meet- ings. It was the duty of this senator to report to the homeroom the business discussed at these meetings. In case of the senator’s absence, the alternate attended. Attending meetings was not the only duty of belonging to the council. It also had a part in the annual G. O. show and the pep rallies. This year the G. O. show was the most successful in 86 years for which the council deserves much credit. As for the pep rallies, the two held this year were received with a great amount of enthu- siasm. The annual visit of two exchange students was another event sponsored by the student council. Nadia Hetata, from Egypt, and Edward Dennis Normandy III, of the Philippines, were our guests. This year the hosts were chosen by an essay contest, the topic being “Why I Would Like to Have a Foreign Student. The winners were Barbara Voorhies and Ralph Campanella. These two exchange students participated in classes, and became acquainted with our school life for two weeks. A new idea carried out this year was the Democratic and Republican Assembly. A panel of students debated the fitness of the two can- didates for the presidency. Next, the mock elec- tion was held in the citizenship classes. As usual, the council drew up a budget for activities needing finances. One of these activi- ties was the decoration of the halls for Christ- mas, most of which was done by the council members.

No, but the enthusiastic spirit of '76 has been with us throughout the year! The spirit of ’76 was one of determi- nation, dedication, and success. It was the way with our three staffs this year, and this was the spirit we selected as our theme. The editorial staff this year boasted four veteran Colonial- ites serving as editors. At the helm as editor- in-chief was Louis Reimer. Lou deserves tremen- dous credit for the fine quality of his work. To Grace Felicetti, associate editor; Jean McDowell, copy editor and Barbara Scully, senior editor, fell the tremendous task of assisting the editor- in-chief, assigning articles, checking copy, and supervising the senior section, plus many other items. The terrific work done by the art staff in illus- trating the theme is obvious on almost every page of the Colonial. Headed by Irving Duffy, the entire art staff must be highly praised for its creative ability. Even with a staff of Shakespeares, and Rem- brandts the Colonial couldn’t possibly be pro- duced without financial support. This task falls to the business staff, which comes up with the money necessary to make this book possible. The business staff, headed by Jeannette Pizza- 88 BUSINESS STAFF L ft to right. Row I: C.

Another event attended by Colonial staff members was the Columbia Scholastic Press As- sociation meeting. Here, last year's Colonial was awarded first place. The staff of the 1957 Colonial wishes to thank everyone who has aided us in publishing our book. When you have a chance to open this book in 1976 we hope that our spirit of 1776 will still reach you, bringing back fond memo- ries of Hempstead High School. Mory Hengstenberg Editor-in-Chief jf at riot DURING the course of the school year, stu- dents of Hempstead High School receive and enjoy fifteen copies of our prize winning school paper, the Patriot. When the issues are released every second Monday, have you ever considered what goes into the production of this paper? Let's go behind the scenes of the Patriot and see exactly what occurs. It’s Monday, and as issues of the Patriot are being distributed, work in homeroom 49 is just beginning on the next edition, under Mr. Mur- phy's competent guidance. Mary Hengstenberg, the editor-in-chief, can be found assigning ar- ticles to the staff writers. Assisting her are as- sociate editors Zelda Greenspan and Vincent DeLuca; Pat Ferri, the editor of the interesting feature articles; exchange editor, Ethel Hill; Gary Sunden, the headline editor who creates those eye-catching headlines; copy and rewrite editor Daniel Mirro; and, of course, sports editor, John Edwards.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, as the writers and editors work diligently toward their rapidly approaching Friday deadline, the busi- ness staff, headed by William Siegel, secures ads to help finance the paper. By Friday, most articles have been turned in. These include the “Introducing column, which each week presents two well-known students, and a favorite teacher; Ethel Hill’s humorous “Exchanged column; John Edwards’ sports col- umn, “Tiger Tales ; and various feature articles. A little over a week has gone by, when the copy returns from the printer. Following this arrival, “Dummy Day takes place. On this day, after much checking, and rechecking, a final copy of the paper is assembled and sent to the printer for publication. On Friday, the editors and members of the staff go to the printers, where they read the wet proofs. When this i« done, the presses begin to roll. It’s Monday again and the issues are deliv- ered to the school to be immediately gathered by the efficient circulation staff, headed by Sandra Osedach. This staff counts out and dis- tributes the issues. Now as you receive your Patriot, the endless cycle in homeroom 49 • again beginning. Well, that’s the story behind the Patriot.

These girls are recommended by their teach- ers and are chosen for their willingness to work, personality and general efficiency. They are interviewed by the Dean of Girls before they are officially selected. They then serve one pe- riod daily in fhe office to which they are as- signed, and two weeks late duty a year. The chief aims of the junior secretaries are to become acquainted with general office pro- J ntiior decreta meA cedure, to learn the art of office routine, to receive people intelligently and pleasingly and to serve promptly and efficiently. Zealous ef- forts are put forth to attain these aims because of the many benefits derived from this expe- rience and practice. The basic duties of the junior secretaries in- clude answering the telephone, filing, typing the student absentee and excused lists, greeting parents and delivering office slips to students and teachers. This experience and practice of working in the school office, affords the junior secretaries proficiency in office procedures. Ably assisting Miss Hoekstra, our Dean of Girls, in office No. 3 is the entire squad with Joyce Young serving as the Chief. This year we also have two assistants. They are Carole Freeth and Judy Burdeshaw. The main duties of these three girls is to see that the procedure of these two offices runs smoothly. 92 Lrel’ '° 'ighl, Row I: i r- . f- r. cT oToZ - Ud°lph- °- '°� r T BO WHAT is the Audio-Visual Squad? Why was it organized? What does it do? Many people ask these questions, and here are some of the answers. The squad is made up of 26 members. This organization, founded in 1934, consists chiefly of boys. The only girls work as secretaries. The members have many important and re- sponsible tasks to perform, among which are: running the public address system for home- room notices, and taking care of films which includes repairing them when damaged. Also, keeping the motion pictures, projectors, records and microphones in good condition and re- ceiving and returning the films to the distrib- utors. Each period there are several students in Room 18A to meet any difficulty that may arise. Mr. E. C. Moore, who trained the squad since it was first organized, is appreciated by all. Everyone has in some way been greatly aided by the work of these boys. The squad is led by Chief Thomas Samson, who is assisted by Fred Richards. In charge of the financial standings of the group, is Gerald Kemmett. The work of the squad in high school pre- pares its members for work in photography or as technicians, which might be of great help to them in the future. Although the students who aid Mr. Moore in Room 18A report at designated times, many voluntarily come in after school and often give up their lunch periods to aid students and teachers who need their help. 93 EACH period of the day, you will find two or three girls busily typing, filing, or run- ning errands. Frequently they are required to serve as receptionists or messengers for the Counselors in office 4. Various times during the year the girls serve late duty. These girls make up the Counselors' Service Squad. The girls are chosen and directed by Miss MacDougall. Many things are taken into consideration before the final decision is made. Each girl must have a good scholastic record, which includes her marks. These must be sat- isfactory in all subjects. The girls serve Mrs. Walter and Mr. Turnbull, as well as Miss Mac- Dougall. Many times office 4 is known as the “bee- hive of activity. When their duties are com- pleted, the girls study for the remainder of the period. They are always at hand in the event of an emergency. Their service to the school and to office 4, in particular, is sincerely ap- preciated. The girls are rewarded with service points for their membership on the squad. The chief of the squad is awarded 3 service points and each member receives 1 service point. These girls have proven themselves to be an efficient and indispensable part of the office. (Counselors Service Saucicl 94 Secretaries to the S acu (t y THE girls who are chosen as secretaries to the faculty find this important extracurricular activity serves as excellent training in secre- tarial work. Girls who have the ability and are considered dependable are chosen. In Septem- ber, each is assigned to a teacher who is the chairman of one of the departments. The system of selection may work two ways. The teacher may select a particular girl, or the girl may choose a certain preferred teacher for whom she desires to work. The position requires competent completion of any assigned secretarial work. Some of the more important tasks include: mimeographing tests, filing papers of importance, and typing. The work quota is four hours a week, and tasks are assigned during free periods. These secre- taries also have access to the work room where typewriters, mimeograph machines, and electric copyrite duplicators are at their disposal. The girls willingly donate their time to this activity. This is essential for the type of work they will perform after graduating from high school and entering the business world. Both the faculty and the high school are proud and happy that we have a group among us from which we all derive many benefits. Mrs. Schryver, of the commercial department, is the advisor of this ambitious group. Under her capable direction, girls receive anything deemed necessary to aid them in doing jobs with the utmost efficiency. Left to right. Row I: C. Russel, D. Hamilton, D. Callahan, C. Greco, A.

You hove questioned a library staff member about these and other topics. Have you ever wondered about the origin, the selection, or the duties of a library staff member? The Hempstead High School Library Staff was organized in 1923, with the main purpose of interesting girls in becoming librarians. The club remained very small until increased school en- rollment incredsed the membership. About five years ago boys were permitted to join the library staff, and today the staff totals twenty-six. The students are chosen for membership in the library staff by their English teachers, usu- ally in their freshman year. A candidate for membership must maintain good grades, have a pleasant attitude, and be willing to learn about the library. A library staff member does a variety of jobs for the librarians. Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Cullen. The primary job of the mem- bers is to charge and receive library books and collect fines. They are also responsible for col- lecting the library slips, which enable a student to study in the library rather than in a study hall. Each member of the staff is assigned a section of the shelves to keep in order. Countless errands are run by the library staff members, and each library has one or two staff members who do some typing and help to catalogue new books. Library staff members must also be able to answer countless questions concerning books and other material in the library, and to assist students in finding interesting books. They handle these tasks with patience and understanding throughout the year. For the first time in many years the library staff elected a chief to preside at meetings and who will try to transform a purely service club into a combination service and social club. Joan Brown, a senior, was elected chief of the staff this year. 96 [•ft to right, Row . P. Patterson, M. Drewol, P. McGinn, P. Radmond, M. Pomerantz, M. Tew. Row II: B Lewin, G. Felicetti, J.

It was organized in 1924 when a group of top ranking senior girls felt that they could be of assistance to the registrar. These girls believed that girls, as well as boys, could be of service to the school. Originally the squad was called the Sen- ior Girls' Service Squad, but since the members have been both upperclassmen and lowerclass- men in recent years the squad is now called The Senior Service Squad. In past years the squad has had about twenty- five active members. Now, since the school en- rollment has decreased tremendously, there are fewer girls needed to efficiently carry on the duties of the registrar’s office. At present there are fifteen girls; sophomores, juniors, and seniors, whose duties include alpha- betizing, filing, and going on errands, as well as various other office jobs. This position helps the girls by developing their personality and adding to their office experience. The practice which they receive helps them to become pro- ficient in all phases of office work. This knowl- edge of the daily routine of an office gives the girls an idea of how to face what problems may arise in either her vocational life or in a part time job. The chief of the squad is Peggy McGinn, a senior, who has proven herself to be very capa- ble and efficient. The other members of the squad were selected by Mrs. Hueston, and serve one period a day in her office. Mrs. Huesfon, the registrar, has helped these girls to develop a valuable sense of responsi- bility by entrusting to their care many important matters, and the girls have indicated her faith in them by the competent performance of their assigned duties. 97 THE Hempstead High School Hall Patrol is a club consisting of boys performing hall duties under the capable direction of their fac- ulty advisor, Mr. Frank Fish. At the beginning of each year the boys are chosen from various study halls. Their assignments are explained to them, and they are expected to carry them out courteously and efficiently. One of the students is chosen as lieutenant. He takes attendance and makes sure everything is under control at all times. A teacher is also assigned to the halls each period to act as supervisor. The position has a number of requirements. Among these are keeping the halls free of loitering students by checking for proper passes, and acting as guides for visitors who need as- sistance in locating various designations. During the lunch periods, the boys must be especially alert, for the halls are usually crowded with students either coming or going to or from the cafeteria. The eighth period, when the juniors and seniors leave, no students are assigned to the halls as all the remaining students are in class. Outside the building there are boys who are also on duty. They are known as the Campus Patrol. Their duties consist of keeping order and allowing no one to enter the building without permission. This club is as old as the school itself. Through the years it has kept its good name and con- tinued its high standards. The boys pay fifteen cents per year club dues which pays for their Colonial picture. Hempstead High is proud of its Hall Patrol for doing so much to help uphold the fine repu- tation of our school. Ufl to right. Row I, W. Hiskey, R. Courtney, J. Corney, J. Rodier, R. Coughlin, K.

THE Tupiar Club which is under the capable guidance of Mr. Robert ‘‘Pop'' Hayes holds its meeting every Tuesday and Thursday after school in room twenty-four. There are thirty members in the club consisting of boys and girls who are interested in and want to learn more about higher math. Pop gives thorough dem- onstrations and explanations of different phases of math for which there is no allotted class time. In the homey atmosphere of fascinating fig- ures, the members of the club receive addi- tional preparation for college math. Those who do not plan to attend college, belong because of their sincere love of math. To be admitted into the club, you must be taking or have taken intermediate algebra. After the first few meetings, those who have joined out of curiosity or have already lost interest, drop out of the club and leave behind a group of energetic mathematicians who want to probe the inner mysteries of mathematics. This year the club has been studying the short form of advanced equations along with other higher mathematical principles. These are presented in such a way that the students with only high school math as a background can easily understand them. They have made plans to learn some fundamental information on sur- veying. Later in the year they will use this in- formation to practice surveying techniques. The members of the club realize how fortu- nate they are in belonging to such a club, and they hope that it helps future members as greatly as it has helped them. Left to right, How I: R. Bushell, A.

It affords each member the pleasure of broadening her horizon of friendships. Besides having a wonder- ful time at their Christmas party and attending a New York show, the girls find time to use their talents in helping others who are not as fortunate. They make stuffed animals which are distributed to children in various hospitals. Directing the club in its activities this year are: Loretta Catalano, president; Irene Piponidis, vice-president; and Elizabeth Bianco, secretary- treasurer. Se, 'vice Sciltcu THE girls in the Future Nurses' Club who are interested in assisting in the nurse's office have an opportunity to be selected for the Health Service Squad. Under the direction of our school nurses, Miss Best and Mrs. Marsden, the members who serve one or two periods a day, learn first-aid, how to assist the doctor with physical and dental examinations and how to help with various other physical difficulties. They also aid the nurses with the general up- keep of the office. The experience gained will prove helpful to them not only in applying for a nursing school or college, but will serve also to strengthen their personalities. 100 TO put into use knowledge obtained from the study of Retailing I and Retailing II, stu- dents are employed part-time in local stores and receive school credit for this work. These students are members of Cooperative Retailing, an organization founded over twenty-five years ago as a program by which students can learn about retail work by actual performance. The students leave school at twelve o'clock and report to their jobs. They are required to work not only on school days but also on Saturdays and holidays. Mr. Davidson coordinates the many functions of this organization of fifty students. He helps place these students in jobs and tries to correct any faults the employers find in the students. He also makes sure that the students meet the requirements of four hundred fifty hours of work to receive one credit toward the sixteen needed for graduation. Some members of Cooperative Retailing are selected to join the B. Altman Junior Advisory Board which meets once a month at B. Altman and Company, in New York City, to judge teen- age merchandise. The whole organization took three trips this year. One was a visit to Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City to study quality merchandise, the second was a trip to Newsday to study ad- vertising in a daily newspaper, and Ihe third was a visit to Gimbels to study volume merchan- dising.

J’liture Jeciclierd oj m erica HEMPSTEAD HIGH SCHOOL can be very proud of having one of the largest Future Teachers Clubs on Long Island. Our F. T. A. is one of the most active clubs in the school, and is under the excellent supervision of Miss Winter who is ably assisted by Mr. Keenan. There are 120 members in this outstanding club. Since the size of the club is extremely large, and because of the difference in the schedules of the under-classmen and upper-classmen, the club is divided into three groups. There is the Peter Cooper F. T. A. for the junior and senior classes, the Esther P. Greenlund F. T. A. for the sophomore class and the Horace Mann F. T. A. for the freshman class. This year there were sixty-one, thirty, and twenty-one members re- spectively in each club. The three groups work together as one on many of the projects adopted by the club, even though they meet separately. This year the F. T. A. has served Hempstead High School in many ways. They have acted as guides and ushers on many important occasions, and in addition to this they acted as hostesses at the Oswego State Teacher's College Open House held the last of November. The meetings of the F. T. A. are all very in- teresting and profitable to every member. One of the most outstanding and anticipated activi- ties of the Peter Cooper F. T. A. this year, was the trip taken to an elementary school. The juniors and seniors observed the different in- 102 PETER COOPER F. T. A. Left to right, Row I: M. Jocoves, R. Del Glorno, B. Deixler, S.

It was a very rewarding experience for all who participated, and it was justified at the next meeting of the Peter Cooper Club, when the members discussed many of the things which impressed them. Other outstanding meetings of the F. T. A. included the panel discussion “What’s Wrong With Teachers?” moderated by Mr. Keenan. The panel consisted of F. T. A. members, Sue Marko- witz, Harriet Berbery, Anne Sverlik, and Rhoda Bushell. The F. T. A. groups were also shown interesting slides of the European countries, Scot- land, Ireland, England, France, Germany and Italy which Miss Winter had toured during the summer. Also, Dr. Julia Vane, the Hempstead Public School Psychologist, spoke on “Psychol- ogy’s Place in the Teaching Profession.” This year in the Peter Cooper F. T. A. the officers were: president, Barry Deixler; vice- president, Jean McDowell; recording secretary, Judy Brown; corresponding secretary, Susan Schreiber; and treasurer, Marie Luckaszewicz. The Esther P. Greenlund F. T. A. was headed by president, Carol Matusiewski, who was ably assisted by vice-president, Jean Silliman; sec- retary, Rae Messer; and treasurer, Barbara Ma- guire. The Horace Mann F. T. A. had for its officers: president, Fredel Aieman; vice-president, Betty Schoonover; secretary, Sophia Luckaszew- icz; and treasurer, Gorden Cummings. We are sure that all the students belonging to one of the F. T. A. groups and planning to go into some form of teaching, will be successful in this rewarding profession. 103 THOSE interested in the collection of stamps, will find the Hempstead High School Stamp Club offers a vast opportunity in the field of “trade.’ Along with making new friends and acquaint- ances, the members trade rare stamps from all corners of the globe, and show their albums to fellow members. To be listening in, at one of these meetings, one might well think life and death were at stake, but the whole controversy might be over the bidding on a rare stamp. The officers who help to organize the “swap- ping-sessions” are Mario Salerno, president; Pete Ruddy, vice president; Charlotte Easter, secretary; and Bob Marcus, treasurer, along with their faculty advisor, Mr. Holtz. Sketch CU DID you ever pick up a pencil and sketch a picture? If so, why not join the sketch club? A group of fourteen led by president Karen Wantuck, assist the art department in making backdrops for the junior prom, senior ball, Ken- nedy Park’s Christmas display and other com- munity activities in which Hempstead High par- ticipates. They also make jewelry from silver and copper. A study is made of paintings. Oil and water paintings are made as are pencil and pen and ink drawings. Movies and slides are shown to further appreciation. The club visits an art museum in the spring and the year is climaxed with a picnic and barbecue at Mrs. Oman's home. Left to right. Row R.

Some of this year’s activities included the performance of the Christmas Pageant in which most of the members took part. Also, the club took a trip into Manhattan, ate dinner there, and then attended a current Broadway play. Richard Peck who presided over the meetings had very capable assistance from vice-president Susan Markowitz. Taking minutes at the meetings was the responsibility of Gary Sunden, while the financial business was in the hands of Jane Browne. Once again the curtain falls on another suc- cessful year of the Footlight Club. Top.- V.

Their efforts as honor students are well re- warded, however, when at the end of the year the two girls with the top averages will be eligible for special prizes. These will be award ed at the Fall Scholarship Assembly. Heading the Pioneers this year are: Elizabeth Regan, president; Joan Herman, vice president; Barbara Epstein, secretary; and Frances Negler treasurer.

THE Pathfinders, the freshman boy's honor club, innovated a new system for selecting their members this year. In previous years, mem- bership was based upon a fixed average. This year, there is greater competition, because in order for one to attain membership, he must receive one of the top twenty averages among the freshman boys. Unlike the upper class honor clubs, whose membership is based upon the final average of the previous year, the members of the Pathfinders aren’t determined until after the first marking period. Their Christmas party was held during the last week before vacation, when they got to- gether with the freshman girls' honor club. All had an enjoyable time. Their advisor, Mr. Baker, very ably supervised them during the year. Officers of the club were Peter Stenberg, president, and David Hartman, vice-president, with Steve Kaplan and Donald Zinn serving as treasurer and secretary, re- spectively. 106 J3lue CT HJliife Corner THE Radio Club offers experience and aid to boys who enjoy operating and repairing radios of all sorts. The club, supervised by Mr. Lind, consists of 1 1 members. The main goals for this year are the recon- ditioning of the transmitting equipment which was obtained from Mitchel Field Air Force Base; the procuring of a school license for sending and receiving; helping all members who are without ham operators' licenses to obtain them and becoming proficient in Morse code. The Radio Club's equipment consists of 2 transmitters, 4 receivers, and code practice Left to right. Row I: B. Bendel KN2TGQ, Mr. lind, L. Fuchs KN2UWK, I. Albert KN2TGR. Row II. R. McCarthy. T.

Ted Robinson is one of the more experienced boys who helps guide the other members in this work. The officers are Barry Bendel, president, KN2TGQ; Larry Fuchs, vice-president, KN2UWK; and Larry Albert, treasurer, KN2TGR. EACH morning around 8:25 at the Blue and White Corner you will always see students buying paper, pencils, review books, and of course H. H. S. booster pins. The corner was instituted over twenty-five years ago, and since that time has grown in size and importance. It is an indispensable part of our student life and constantly proves its usefulness to both the pur- chasing students and the retailing students who manage it. It is convenient and economical to purchase school supplies there and to do busi- ness with fellow students. The retailing students gain practical expe- rience and learn responsibility from the corner. To run smoothly and efficiently, the work of a manager, a bookkeeper, a display manager, and clerks are required. The manager supervises all work and is responsible for anything that hap- pens; the bookkeeper keeps the accounts and balances the books; the display manager is responsible for the display case near the main stairway, and the student clerks sell the sup- plies. Mr. Davidson, head of the Commercial Department, supervises the store and is a well- qualified and hard-working figure in the effi- ciently-managed corner. Left to right, how I: Mr. Davidson, B.

Assisting with the orchestra this year were concert mistress, Sandra Matz, and the head of the various sec- tions: string, reed, brass, and percussion. With morning and afternoon sectionals, Saturday re- hearsals, and one or two night rehearsals with guest conductors, the orchestra remained busy throughout the year. Left to right: Dr. Saeveit, Miss Boyle, Dr. Praunitz, Mr. Tepper, Mr. Rasmussen. The season began with the orchestra giving a concert for the annual convention of the New York State Congress of Parents and Teach- ers. It was held at the Hotel New Ycrker. In December, the orchestra and choir com- bined to give their annual Christmas concert. This was sponsored by the Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotary clubs and was held at the Elks club. At the festival held at Hofstra College in March, the theme was What Price Freedom? This was skillfully carried out to show the col- laboration in music between colleges and high schools. In the festival, the orchestra performed under the direction of Dr. Frederick Prausnitz, Dean of Juilliard School of Music, Mr. Albert Tepper, director of music at Hofstra College, and Mr. Laurence Rassmussen, director of music at Adelphi College. The annual spring concert in May climaxed another unforgettable season for our or'hestra. Top.- G. Elvin and M. Boyce on base violins. Center. Miss Boyle directs preconcert rehearsal. Bottom. S.

The concert, whose theme was What Price Fredom? , was held on Sun- day afternoon, March 10. The contributions of all musical organizations revolved around the sacrifices of the courageous patriots who fought for the freedom of this wonderful country. The Choir helped open the concert by taking part in the musical work called I am an American. The Choir itself sang “De Profundus” and A Free Song. One of the most important con- tributions of the Choir was a group of selections from the Elijah including “Thanks Be to God,” He Watches Over Israel, and Lift Thine Eyes. The Choir participated in many other activities to which the members devoted their time and talent. Along with the orchestra, the Choir took a trip to the New Yorker Hotel to entertain at a PTA conference, and gave a pre- view of the spring concert for Hempstead's serv- ice clubs at the Elks Club. On the last day be- fore Christmas vacation the Choir added to the holiday spirit by caroling in the halls. A spring festival presented toward the close of the school year terminated the many successful endeavors. Miss McQueen has directed the Choir since its organization in 1931. The group began with twenty-five girls, and through the years has grown to a group of 123 boys and girls. Choir members are accepted after one or two years’ experience in Glee Club. The aspirant must qual- ify by proving that he has a good voice, can read music, and is willing to work and cooperate with the group. The bond marches forward. The kettle drums. The band at Yankee Stadium. Band A HEMPSTEAD band member faces a very busy three months practicing for the band show at the beginning of the school year. After school, and Saturday morning rehearsals become part of his schedule, yet the benefits received compensate for the efforts expended. Each year, the band has an outstanding pro- duction, this year’s being one of the finest in the 26 years of its existence. Our band had the honor of playing for the New York Giants' opening home football game, which was televised across the nation. This has been an honor bestowed upon the band for a number of years, and has brought nation-wide fame to our school. The football marching band ended the season with seven other perform- ances to its credit. However, this is only the beginning of the year's work. From the marching band, we next find ourselves among the smooth compositions of the concert band. In the winter festival, The theme was Rain or Shine, featuring many musical arrangements along with the in- itial use of theatric umbrellas. Its formations included the spelling of the words R-A-l-N and S-H-l-N-E, followed by the entire band falling into a huge 50 yard span umbrella. This made it one of the most unique shows in the country. Tops on Memorial Doy. “What Price Freedom?”, the band featured music by great contemporary composers. To mention just a few selections, Divertimento For Band” and “Celebration Overture,” band suites, and the ever popular march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever” highlighted the program. The year’s work is climaxed by the annual spring concert held at Hempstead’s auditorium. A great amount of credit is deserved by the director, Mr. Kazmier Albinski, who by his pa- tience and perseverance, helped the band to attain its prominence in the field of high school band music.

During the year there are many guest speakers. Included in this past year’s pro- grams were Mr. Windt, who spoke on the topic Fun With Numbers, Mr. Pill, who talked about colleges, Mr. Beckett, who gave a speech on the Experiment in International Living, and Mr. Ayres, who spoke on the Colonial. There were also speakers representing the various profes- sions. These speakers helped the members to realize the purposes of the club, as well as in helping to make the meetings interesting for all. At the beginning of the year, the members talked about possible field trips, which would help serve the purpose of the club, and also planned for future meetings. This year the members elected Vincent Caruso, president and Stephen Sachs, vice-president, while Joseph Miller served as both secretary and treasurer. It proved to be a highly interesting and suc- cessful year. THE Junto Club, the sophomore boys' honor club, consists of the highest ranking boys in that class. They were chosen because of their high level of achievement during the freshman year, and they must maintain this high level throughout the sophomore year, in order to re- main in the club. The purpose of this club is to stimulate the interest of the boys in scholarship, and to ad- vance their intellectual and cultural experiences.

These girls were members of the Pallas Club, the sophomore girls’ honor club. Under the able guidance of Miss Gunnerson, these girls performed many services during the year. They served as guides during open house. Each of the girls was distinguished by the able perform- ance of her duties. Each girl was required to be willing at all times to do her best for the school and the club. A girl is admitted into the club on the basis of her final average from the previous school year. The club met twice a month, and every other meeting had a guest speaker and then refreshments. This year the girls were kept busy planning their Christmas party. A Valentine party was held in honor of the Pioneers, the freshman girls' honor club. They also took a trip to New York City during regents week to see the Ice Follies. They did many other things to make this a truly active year. This year’s officers were: Susan Kornfield, President; Gail Schwent, Vice-President; Evelyn Epthimion, Secretary; and Judy Oswald, Treas- urer. The girls made this a very successful and enjoyable year. Left to right: M. Bligh, M. Albright, B Beuter, D. Hellriegel. A FEW years ago a new wing was added to our school to accommodate the growing needs of the music department. With this new wing it became apparent that a new service group was needed. Therefore, the Secretarial Hostesses were created. The name was chosen because the girls performed secretarial duties as well as acting as hostesses. Many times during the year important person- ages in the world of music called Hempstead High School's Band Box. Being well advanced in music, these girls were properly qualified to in- telligently answer the pertinent questions of the celebrated musicians. When the orchestra, band, or choir embarked upon an excursion, these girls acted as an answering service for the worried parents awaiting their teenagers' return. Upon the arrival of out-of-town guests, these hostesses further fulfilled their position by serv- Secretciricif JlodteSSeS 116 ing as guides and escorting these visitors throughout the various modernly equipped band- box rehearsal rooms and studios. Their friendly smiles, pleasing personalities, and gracious hos- pitality made these guests feel at home. Since running errands is an important part of any office, the title “errand girl” could aptly be vested upon these hostesses. Thus, by cor- dially greeting new visitors, courteously answer- ing the ever-ringing telephone, and efficiently delivering important messages, the Secretarial Hostesses helped transform the bandbox with its continuous echoes of melodic, harmonious, cordant songs into a smooth running enterprise. THE members of the Varsity Club may be easily distinguished by their proudly dis- played blue and grey jackets or by the white sports patrol wind breakers they wear at home athletic events. A boy is eligible for the club by earning a varsity letter. He must also have a good office record and be in good academic standing. A letter may be earned in any of the following sports: football, basketball, rifle, track, golf, bowling, baseball, softball, and ten- nis. The requirements for a letter vary with each sport, but usually after a full season's par- ticipation in any sport, a letter has been earned. d The Varsity Club was instituted five years ago to help members improve in both athletics and academic work. This is still the club’s main interest. It also works with the guidance depart- ment to help its members obtain scholarships and to choose a college. It also works to obtain a better feeling of sportsmanship between spec- tator and players. Varsity Club officers are chosen by election, and no sport may be represented in more than one office. This year's officers were: president, Anthony Governanti—football; vice-president. Art Carney—golf; secretary-treasurer, Art Mans- field—track; master at arms, James Hawks— baseball. Towards the latter part of June, the club plans to have either a picnic or a beach party. We know this will be a favorable addition to the successful year the club has had under the direction of Mr. Schuessler. Loft to right. Row l: R. Rudolph, B. Drost, J. Holweg, Mr. Schuessler, T.

They form the Secretarial Service Squad, which consists of fourteen or fifteen girls working one period per morning, and sometimes during home- room. The girls begin training as sophomores, but the juniors and seniors run the machines. The most essential requirement for a member of this squad is the possession of mechanical ability. These girls must have the dexterity which is necessary in operating the different machines. Among the various types of machines are the electric mimeograph, manual mimeograph, and the electric ditto which is used for duplicates. Another very important factor which the girls must possess is integrity. It is a known fact that each and every girl is trustworthy, and has the ability to complete her duties. Mrs. Schryver is in charge of this entire squad and among the supervising teachers are Mrs. Gaffga, Miss Degenhardt, Mr. Zara, and Mr. Helback. Rosemary Sgroi is the capable student leader. With this squad are two girls, Ingrid Sheldon and Irene Piponidis; who have the very impor- tant job of keeping the bulletin boards posted. Each year the two girls who volunteer for this work, are at the end of the year given awards for their faithful service. This squad is super- vised by Mrs. Gaffga, who makes sure that everything is under control. The experience that these girls gain working in the mimeograph room will prove to be quite helpful, for most of them expect to enter the secretarial field upon graduation. 118 Left to right.

These girls are selected each year by Mr. Beddow after a thorough sur- vey and a personal interview. Friendliness and politeness are among the qualifications required of these girls. This year, for the first time, four freshmen students were chosen among the total of seven- teen who constitute the squad. This year also marked the first time that both the chief, Beth Lee and assistant chief, Lynn Puerschner, were elected by the members. As advisor of the group, Mrs. Pashley super- vises the apprentice period of selected students. This starts each year after Easter and continues until the end of the school year. In September this group is given the opportunity for which they were prepared. While there were a number of responsibili- ties the squad handled, the first in importance was the efficient operation of the switchboard which was fascinating as well as demanding. Closely related to this task was the need of discernment, and reference to sources of infor- mation in relating calls. This duty required a large store of knowledge which each girl had to possess. Among other cooperative tasks cov- ered there were clerical duties, carrying mes- sages and serving as receptionists for visitors to the school. All of these tasks required alert- ness, concentration and cordiality. Two traditional high spots of fun for the group were Mr. Beddow's Christmas party, and a spring picnic and cookout. These events were enthusiastically attended. These girls of the Principal's Service Squad have proven themselves to be of valuable service to our school. 1 19 . M Otewal, J. McDowell, n ..win G.

O d'ittitolo. r. wcy� ' « ic THE cream of the crop was selected by a | new policy adopted by Hempstead High School. There was no set minimum average re- quired for membership, but a certain percentage of honor roll students from the junior and senior classes was admitted into this honor club in September. Leadership, scholarship, and service is the appropriate motto for this outstanding club which is under the excellent guidance of Mrs. Stilger and Miss Abbott. The numerous activities of the club this year included, serving as guides for the P. T. A. Open House in the late fall and attending the theatre play “The Diary of Anne Frank. They also went on a sightseeing tour of New York City, had panel discussions on The Advantages and Disadvantages of Going Away to College, and Belonging to the Na- tional Honor Society. There were cultural slides and speeches given during the year on art, lit- erature, and music appreciation. The annual Mother and Daughter tea was given in the mid- dle of November. This year the officers were President, Betsy Lewin; Vice-President, Grace Felicetti; Secretary, Mary Drewal; and Treasurer, Jean McDowell. The editor of this year's handbook was Marjorie Brown and the manager was Linda Kunz. To end a very successful year a medal was given to the Pen and Ink girl who was the most outstanding in her service to the school. 120 THIS year a new principle has been applied in the selection of Pentagon Club members. Previously, the requirements for entry were based on grade average. Now the scholarship com- mittee has decided that membership is open to the top 20 senior and top 20 junior boys. No new members are admitted during the year, and none are dropped other than by decision of the committee. This year's officers were Gary Cohen, presi- dent; Jeff Shane, vice-president; Larry Ossias, secretary, and Roy Feldman, treasurer. The club's main activities for this year were having speakers come to talk about diverse and interesting topics such as The Familiariza- tion With the College Board” and State Scholar- ship Examinations. Culture is one of the sub- jects being stressed this year, as it is very im- portant in this type of examination. One of the most important things the club did this year was to make a study of the Na- tional Honor Society in order to determine both its merits and disadvantages, as it is being considered for adoption by our school. Each year the club awards two pins; one goes to the boy with the highest average in the graduation class. Jay Sklar obtained this honor last year. The other is presented to the boy who has been of the most service to the club in the past year. Allen Frost, last year's president, was the recipient of this award. Although there may be a different honor club next year, whatever form it takes, you can be sure that it will be composed of the scholastic leaders of the school. 121 Left to right. Row I: D.

The club was started by students who were highly interested in science, and who wished to learn more about connected subject matter. This year the club consisted of juniors and seniors, who joined in order to keep up with the latest events and developments in all phases of science, as well as to perform, or watch experiments not usually performed in high school science classes. The club went on field trips for the purpose of augmenting their knowl- edge, and discussed many of the important scientific events of the year. Interesting oral re- ports were given by many of the members, on the latest scientific happenings. Science Clubs are important in this country because they motivate and stimulate scientific thinking. They help to change the decisions of some of the members, who intended to enter other professions which will have a definite bear- ing on America’s future. Our country has great need for scientists, as well as engineers, math- ematicians, technicians and those in other fields related to science. Again this year the club was under the guid- ance of Mr. Faust, the Chairman of the science department. Joy Levine acted as president, while Voya Skakish was vice-president. Amy Rosenberg was secretary, and Bob Loweth took care of the financial matters by serving as treasurer. 122 Left to right, Row I: M. Anderson, B. Von Emon, L Jocobs, M. Kadish, A.

Under the able direction of Mr. Lawson, the club investigated various aspects of the field of science. Their first few meetings were devoted to learn- ing to use the microscope, the instrument which opens the door to many interesting observations. They first learned to focus and adjust the work- ing parts of this instrument to insure the best possible viewing of the specimens. After they learned these fundamentals, they observed many phenomena in the plant and animal kingdom. They next explored the large field of atomic energy. First the club investigated the history of atomic energy from the earliest experiments in 1939 to the present, and next the theory behind this force. They spent the greater part of their time, however, in the study of the peace- ful uses of atomic energy in the fields of medi- cine and industry. For the last project of the year the club learned how to properly inbed, cut, and stain plant and animal tissues on slides. In this way they learned to identify various kinds of plant and animal tissues. This year the club hopes to make a field trip to either a local hospital or laboratory to study their techniques in medicine. The many functions of this club were coordi- nated by the president, Harvey Cohen; vice- president, Brenda Stiehler; secretary, Diane Jacobs; and treasurer, John Jackson. 123 Loft to right, Row I: B.

ONCE again the Camera Club began its year promoting school spirit by processing and selling photographs of the varsity football team. Later in the year they again showed profes- sional ability in their photographing of the Jun- ior Prom. Besides applying their photographic knowl- edge and using the school's darkroom, the mem- bers also enjoyed a number of instructive films and slide shows dealing with various photo- graphic techniques. Although learning new photographic skills and perfecting old ones are important to mem- bers, the club's constitution also points out that perhaps the most important object of the club is to have fun, and for this the Camera Club is well known. am era This year the club held a photo contest among its members, and like past enterprises, this was most successful. A further activity of the club was to attend the National Photographic Show held in New York City where members viewed all the new photographic accessories and tech- niques developed in this country, and other parts of the world. Leading the club’s many activities were this year's officers consisting of Juri Toomre, presi- dent; Donald Hood, vice-president; Bruce Boss, secretary; and Roy Feldman, treasurer. 124 THEY ore the right hands to the secretaries I in Office 5. That is exactly how Miss Ronnermann, supervisor of this group, expressed the function of the squad. The duties of this squad consist of alphabetiz- ing and filing various papers, sending out no- tices, helping to set up the details for interviews and introducing new students to the school. They also do all sorts of jobs that are of as- sistance to Mr. Pill; Mr. Prahl; and the secre- taries, Miss Ronnermann and Miss Merrick. All work and no play is not the motto of Office 5. The highlight of their social program is their annual Christmas party. The squad consists of nine girls. There is one for each period of the day, except for first period when more are necessary. This is because there is more help needed to get things started in the morning. As in previous years. Miss Ronnermann and Mr. Pill choose the person who, in their estima- tion is the most capable for the leadership of this squad. This honor is given every year to the member who displays the most efficiency and interest in other people. The person chosen to fill the position this year was Muriel Roeth. The academic students of the Hempstead High should be extremely grateful to the girls of this squad. Left to right. Row .- A. lun, P. Mazikiewiez, J. Piponidis, A. Perry. Row II: M. Marmorate, J.

JUNIOR and senior girls in the business depart- ment are eligible for membership in the Key Klickers. In order to unite these girls whose chief interests lie in the business world the Key Klick- ers were formed eight years ago. During the past year, the girls have obtained useful information and guidance from speakers who have attended their meetings. A New York Telephone representative spoke to them about the necessary requirements and skills for careers in the telephone company. They were told that personality is an exceptionally important factor which is taken into consideration when one ap- plies for a position with this company. A rep- resentative from a business school came to a meeting and aided by Mr. Turnbull, the guid- ance director for commercial students, advised the girls on matters concerning their future careers in the working world. One of the club’s projects has been making place mats and stuffed dolls which were distrib- uted to hospitals. As for the social side, the club enjoyed a Christmas party, and at the end of the year activities were culminated with a farewell party given by the juniors for the grad- uating seniors. Their trips included the Ice Fol- lies, a play in New York City and an excursion to West Point. The officers, Frances Truicko, president; Joy Clemens, vice president; Gerry Quigley, secre- tary and Dorothy Augustyniak, treasurer, were assisted by Miss Silver, the faculty advisor. 126 junior C rod A THE American Junior Red Cross is the Junior membership of the American Red Cross en- rolled in elementary and secondary schools. Schools join each November in a nationwide enrollment campaign. Its members are given an opportunity to serve others in an organized humanitarian program. Our Junior Red Cross council consists of stu- dent representatives who assist the teacher- sponsor, Mrs. Bowen, in enrollment and service activities. Work on the council gives members valuable training in leadership. One representa- tive, one alternate, and workers are chosen in each homeroom. A journal, published each month, can be found in our school libraries. Local, national, and international services form a principal part of the Junior Red Cross program. Each year they fill Christmas stockings for soldiers and veterans in Long Island hos- pitals. Red Cross courses in first aid, water safety, food and nutrition, and home care of the sick offer vital training to its members. The Junior Red Cross serves chapters in blood centers, on speaker's bureaus, and disaster committees. Last year they sent several girls to one of the blood centers as receptionists. Their holiday favors last year went to Korea. One of their biggest annual projects is to give boxes for overseas children, which contain toothpaste, soaps, toys, and many other things which cover both neces- sity and joy. Holding offices for this year’s group are: president, Gerald Kelly; vice-president, Judy Kennedy; secretary, Jane Browne; treasurer, Tula Korros. Loft to right. Row I: Mrs. Bowen, F. Flannery, P.

WHEN walking through the halls, if some strange tempting smell reaches your nos- trils there should be no doubt in your mind that it is coming from the cafeteria. The purpose of the cafeteria squad is to create tantalizing dishes to help feed the hungry students and teachers of our school. Between the third and sixth periods the cafeteria is buzz- ing with people in search of victuals. Mr. Tobani and his staff keep busy with preparing and serv- ing the foods, along with cleaning and washing the dishes for the next lunch period. This daily routine takes proper timing and cooperation by the manager, cook, and assistants. The cafeteria squad offers a large variety of hot dinners consisting of such culinary master- pieces as beef, soup, chow mein, beef stew, and ravioli. They also have fruit juices, salads, cakes, pies, puddings, ice cream, milk and candy. Serv- ing food to the students is not the only job that concerns the cafeteria squad. A great amount of time is spent in preparing and serving the many teas and dinners that are associated with various school activities. Included among the many daily tasks this staff performs is keeping the stainless steel kitchen in an immaculate condition. On duty each of the four periods the cafe- teria is open is a teacher who plays a vital part in keeping the lunch room quiet and neat, and helps to maintain the pleasant surroundings. We owe our thanks to Mr. Tobani and his efficient staff, for on their shoulders rest the stomachs of our students. 128 Left to right. Row I: V. Pluto, G. Seeley, C. Thomas, R. lewis, M. Gory, G.

AN interest in a nursing career seems to exist in most girls and generally shows itself during her younger years. One girl, Nancy Kowall, a student from Hempstead High School, used this interest under the guidance of Mrs. Marsden and established the Future Nurses' Club. Since its founding in 1949, the club has become a most practical and valuable organiza- tion attracting many girls each year. Although many girls who join seem to have a deep de- termination to make nursing their career, there are others who join mainly because of a desire to gain more information in the field. This year, the club has planned some very educational as well as interesting programs. With Miss Sanderson, Supervisor of Auxiliary Health in Nassau Hospital, a guest speaker the annual Parents’ Night proved to be a highlight rul ure in the year's functions. Speaking to the group on various types of nursing schools, the neces- sary requirements which a good nurse must pos- sess, and the different phases of a nursing career, Miss Sanderson's talk was very informa- tive. A visit to the Roosevelt Cerebral Palsy Center with an opportunity to observe physical therapy also was of great value. The movie Tuesday's Child recorded the recent advance- ments in helping the retarded child. These, how- ever, were only a few of the programs that had a part in the club's activities. Trips to various medical centers and hospitals, as well as addi- tional guest speakers also helped to broaden the members' knowledge of nursing. With Marjorie Browne as president, Pat Brondes as secretary, and Joan Robbins as treas- urer, the Future Nurses’ Club has endeavored to build a stronger bridge between the medical profession and the nurses to be. Horizons were broadened, knowledge augmented, and friend- ships increased, as the club once again culmi- nated another successful year. rUes’ cu 129 � Kroll G. Fonto� J c Raff R- 0� °n. S. r° ' . N.

It met under the supervision of Mrs. Stilger. Among the many activities was the annual trip to New York City during the Christmas va- cation, where they visited the Hispanic Museum. They also saw a Spanish film entitled “Marce- lino,” and later ate dinner at “El Quijote.’’ At the Christmas party, entertainment was furnished by the various members of the club. Of course, they broke the traditional “pinata, a gaily decorated pottery jar filled with all kinds of Spanish candies. A lively time was had by all. During the year, a civilization contest was held with a prize going to the winner. They also played Spanish games, sang songs and par- ticipated in a Spanish poetry contest. A Spanish guest was invited to attend one of the meetings and perform some dances for the club. The club attended various plays and concerts at Hofstra and Adelphi colleges, and at the end of the year a medal was given to the member who did the most for the club. When the Easter vacation arrived, the mem- bers of the club again visited New York and went to a theater. The club met monthly in room thirty and pre- siding over the meetings was Dave O’Neil, assisted by Rhoda Bushell as vice-president, and Ted Malino and Judy Horowitz as treasurer and secretary, respectively. 130 THE Carpe Diem Sodalitas is open to all stu- dents who are taking, or have completed Latin II. This year, the Latin Club was headed by Zelda Greenspan, first consul, and Jeanette Piz- zitola, second consul. The other officers were Phyllis Netter who, as scriba, took the minutes; Alan Storiohann, quaestor, or treasurer; and Lucius Cobbs, assisted by Dean Birdsall, aedile and assistant aedile; both of whom planned the club's programs. The sale of Christmas cards again accounted for most of the club's revenue. This money is used mainly for the three annual Latin Club awards. Each year, a committee meets to pick the senior, preferably a Latin IV student, with the highest Latin average to receive the top award. The other awards are prizes, given to the two students attaining the highest marks in the Latin II and Latin III regents. Some of the interesting programs presented by the club were: a Latin “Who Am I?” contest with Latin characters, dialogue and dress, and a Christmas party with Latin charades. The big- gest event this year was a reproduction of a Roman wedding, acted by Peter Rudy, the groom, Marilyn Johnson, the bride, and Lucius Cobbs, the Pontiex Maximus. The year, filled with Roman and English games in Latin, has been extremely interesting and enjoyable. 131 Left to right. Row I-. H. Drewal, M. Stroke, C. Motusiewske, M. Alber, R. Messer, J.

E CERCLE FRANCAIS is the club in which L french students of all four years are able to put to use some of the knowledge gained about France and the French language. Le Cercle” is very grateful to the speakers who have talked to them about France and French life. They have expanded their knowledge from basic classroom work to a fuller understanding of the French and their customs. In “Le Cercle Francois,” there is also a lighter side to learning. Every year the members visit New York City to see some amusement pertain- ing to French. This year the members went into New York to the French Art Theatre. For Christmas notre francais celebrated with a party, which included singing carols in French. M. Fred Szumigala was le president of Le Cercle Francois this year. Filling the offices of vice-president and treasurer respectively, were Mile. Mary Drewal and M. Robert Nesbitt. As secretary. Mile. Beth Lee kept the club’s minutes and took care of all correspondence. Mme. Young has been the club’s advisor, and has ably matched the enthusiasm and energy put forth by les etudiants with her careful guid- ance and help.

A. system, the German Club is called together for its monthly meeting. During the year, the club enjoyed a varied, interesting, and informative program. Some things of interest this year were guest speakers, films, field trips, and, of course, the many splendid traditions of the club. These traditions are very pleasurable. Foremost of these tradi- tions is the Christmas party. At this event, the club gathered around the piano and joined in singing German Christmas carols. Other tradi- tional events are the annual spelling bee, in which the entire club competes; and the musi- cale in which various members take part in producing a memorable event. Films and slides added to the members' knowl- edge of Germany, its geography, people, and history. These were supplements to class instruc- tion. Many field trips were made this year. These included seeing the operetta Die Fledermaus at the community center; visiting the S. S. Berlin; and members of the club could even be found ordering such tasty dishes as sauerbraten and dumplings, potato pancakes, and roulade at a German restaurant. Due to the various experiences, the club in- jected a deeper appreciation of German into its participants. Under the excellent guidance of Miss Gunther, and Mr. Leusch; and under the able leadership of, president, Gary Sunden; vice-president, Mary Lou Albright; secretary, Hedy Bobrow; and treas- urer, Marilyn Gruntfest; the club has enjoyed a very successful year.

DRUM MAJORETTES THE long hard hours of praefice on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and on Saturday mornings was apparent in the wonderful per- formance given this year by the band entour- age. At Yankee Stadium the ensemble per- formed with exacting precision during the half- time at the first Giant football game. This show was televised throughout a large area of New York State. Later in the year, they performed in back of Arnold Constable’s in Hempstead in order to greet Santa Claus as he arrived in his helicopter. The Hempstead High School band, as a result of being honored by these appear- ances is well known throughout the country. Their successes have been publicized in many news and magazine articles. Hempstead High School truly has a great band. The theme of this year's band show, “Rain or Shine, exhibited such lively tunes as, It Ain’t Gonna Rain No More and Sunny Side of the Street. After spelling out and shouting the words R-A-l-N and S-H-l-N-E, the band went into a unique routine to the music of Blue Skies.” Utilizing colorful red, white, and blue show um- brellas, they not only demonstrated precision and coordination, but also introduced to the spectators an entirely new idea in formations. The band then featured a vast circular sun. Ra- diating from its core were streams of dancing twirlers, spinning their brightly colored umbrel- 136 HIGH STEPPERS Left to right, Row I: E. Seale, A.

Another “first” in Hempstead High School’s history occurred when the band played the fa- miliar strains of our Alma Mater and the students proudly sang its cherished words as the line of twirlers extending from goal to goal waved blue and white flags. As usual, the talented kickline of one hundred girls added an interesting touch to the program with their well precisioned rou- tine, done to the tune of “Music, Music, Music.” Upon hearing the notes of “In My Merry Olds- mobile,” the entourage formed a school bus while circles of twirlerettes at either end of red and blue ribbon streamers served as the rotating wheels. Near the end of the football season, a short but well-performed pre-game show became part of the program. The colorful tune “Down The Field” was the closing selection as the H. H. S. formation separated, formed two lines, and marched off the field. The show, comprised of the band, majorettes. TWIRLERETTES Left to right, Row . M. Mason, B. Sims, T. Un� , R. Esposito, J.

Also, as they did last year, the junior varsity cheerleaders combined with the varsity girls for their rousing cheers. For every two cheers the varsity led, the junior varsity led one. The captains of the varsity cheerleaders were Phyllis Dwir and June Smith, and the captain of the junior varsity cheerleaders was Jeanette Duggan.

The following week an angry team took the field against Freeport and, inspired by fine support from the students, handed the Red Devils their only defeat of the year. At home again for the third game, our pow- erful offense was a bit too much for the highly- praised Sewanhaka defense. HIGHLIGHTED by the hard running attack of Don Kornrumpf, Sonny Glasco, Jimmy Hawks and Johnny Edwards, the Hempstead Tigers gained undisputed possession of 3rd place in the tough Triple-A Conference. This year, like every year there were several upsets. Baldwin’s upset win knocked us out of a tie for first place.

Don Kornrumpf pots boll in scoring position ogoinst Sewon- hoko. On our homefield mincemeat was made out of an inexperienced but determined Massapequa squad. The final home game of the season against Lawrence's Golden Tornadoes, featuring a 100 yard kick return by Don Kornrumpf, was a com- plete success for the Tigers. Our fifth win never- theless, left us still tied for third place. Our final game was an impressive win over Mineola. Again our great offensive power was unleashed. A tremendous offense, fine defense and enthusiastic school spirit were the reasons for our successful season. Don Kornrumpf was distinguished in several ways this year. He was named to the “All- Scholastic teams in local papers as well as being a member of the All-Metropolitan team. But his greatest achievement was winning the Thorp Award for being the most outstanding football player on Long Island. This award has much meaning as all winners have later excelled in college football. Tony Governanti and Bob Drost were also All-Scholastic” team members. A good team is also expected next year. Headed by returning lettermen, and aided by boys from the J. V. squad, the Hempstead Tigers will again take the field, amid roars from the well-filled stands. Don Kornrumpf scoring gome's only T.

Wariltu BaiLtLK THIS year John Mills again put together a fine basketball team. Getting off to a slow start, the Tigers recovered, gained second place in their league and went on to the semi-finals of the Nassau County Basketball Tournament. Bobby Grant, our center, did a fine job in pulling down rebounds and leading the team in scoring. George Bookhard, the team’s captain, did his share of scoring. Bland Bookhard was the sparkplug of our team. His phenomenal drib- bling and ball handling won him an honorable mention on the Nassau County All Scholastic team. Bill Jockey, the team’s workhorse, fre- quently scored on short hooks, pushes, and jumps. Rounding out the starting team was sophomore John Mackey, who played good ball and showed great promise for the future. To the other members of the team goes a lot of credit for without their support our team could not have been a success. These fellows are often overlooked and this is a good oppor- tunity to praise them for the fine jobs they did and to inform them that they did not go un- noticed.

During the season, Dick Sturdivant played first base, and Don Kornrump played third. The key- stone combination was Pete Tsairis and Tom Duschenchuk at shortstop and second base, re- spectively. Pete Klersey, Jim Hawks and Hank Schwern played left, center and right fields, re- spectively with George Dempster behind the plate. The bulk of the pitching was done by Ben Plawski, Larry Dauch and Allen Frost. With Tom Duschenchuk, Don Kornrumpf, Pete Klersy, Larry Dauch and Jim Hawks returning, the outlook for the 1957 team is extremely op- timistic.

One of the most interesting events of the year occurred when the baseball team played softball against the softball team. The baseball team was winning 9-6 in the sixth inning when, with the bases loaded, George Bookhard came to bat for the softball team.

Under the leadership of Captain George Puerschner our team displayed unity and sportsmanship throughout the entire season. Hempstead vaulted over Mepham, sprinted ahead of Lawrence, jumped over Central, outran Long Beach, and dashed ahead of Baldwin by impressive margins, but Sewanhaka, with a larger student body, managed to outscore us for our only defeat. The leading trackmen were Mike Green, Bob Heaney, and John Madigan. They were out- standing enough to qualify for the state meet at West Point.

This is verified by a respectable record of eight victories out of twelve matches against competi- tive South Shore teams. The sharpshooters fin- ished in a tie for second place. The rifle team receives its excellent coaching from Mr. Voorhies, and is led by captain Bob Von Elm.

Since this is the team's debut in interscholastic competition, it will be playing in the Novice Lacrosse League. Originating as a sport of the North American Indians in Canada, the modern Lacrosse game has developed into The fastest game on two feet. The object of the game is to throw the Indian rubber ball into the goal. This ball is thrown by means of a crosse which resembles a long-handled tennis racket with a loose net serving as a pocket for the ball. Each team is made up of fen men—one goal- tender, three defensemen, three midfielders, and three attackmen. J. V. FOOTBALL Left to right. Row l: T. Ross, L. McKenna, K. Brower, B. Delar, A. Mason, B.

An invitational tournament between seven schools found four of our fastest runners displaying their talents. In the meets held with Sewanhaka, Lynbrook, Freeport, Long Beach, Mas- sapequa, Uniondale, and West Hempstead good sportsmanship, fair play, and an outstanding display of “trackmanship proved to be the key to the team’s successful season.

The hardy members of this club ride fall, winter, and spring in all types of weather: sun, rain or snow. Under the expert direction of Mr. Schaedel, the boys learn the basic fundamentals of riding which include how to properly canter and to correctly post the horse. In general, they are taught to practice good riding habits and to be courteous toward other riders. They use English saddles for more refined riding but may occasionally choose a horn saddle if they feel in a western mood. The boys have a lot of fun while they learn because the club is enjoyable as well as instructive. FRESHMAN TRACK Left to right, Row I: R. Wil- son, F. Wetfstein, J. Carter, T. Ramo, F. Perry, R.

Many of the members of this year's team will graduate to the Junior Varsity next year. Two of the more outstanding players were quarterback. Truicko, and center, Martin Ackley.

ONE of the most relaxing, and yet creative clubs of our school is the Modern Dance Club. Leotards, soft mood music, rhythm, and a deep interest in dancing, are all characteristics of this club. Eighteen nimble, graceful members compose this year’s club. These participants are junior and senior girls who are in a modern dance class and have gone through an individual try- out. The girls are judged by their style, agility, rhythm, performance, and creative ability. Miss Barry is the capable leader of this group, and is aided by Phylis Dwir, the student leader. As the year progresses, a junior girl is selected by the group to assist the student leader. Through membership in this worthwhile organ- ization, the girls receive additional practice and work in choreography and rhythmic move- The entire dance production of “Greek Games is created by the Modern Dance Club. Soloists for the event are also chosen within this group. Another occasion for which the mod- ern dancers perform is “Class Night. All senior members take part in this performance, which is enjoyed by their classmates. Small portions of the club perform at other events, but the main productions put on by the club are “Greek Games,” and “Class Night. When the students see the productions put on by the club, they all realize that a great deal of work is done to produce such precision in movement and rhythm. Through witnessing these productions of the club, one can easily notice the talents exhibited by its members. Ev- ery performance is done with great enthusiasm and is a fine demonstration of the club's achieve- ments. 152 IN every gym class there are between four and five gym aids helping to assist the two gym teachers, Mrs. Reicher and Mrs. Barry. Each year a group of about forty girls are chosen on the basis of their personality, interest, leadership, and ability to associate with others. These girls assist the gym teachers in many ways. They take attendance, take care of the school's equipment, teach and instruct sports when deemed necessary, help to keep the gym class organized, run errands and do little things that would normally take needed time from the teacher. It is really a wonderful opportunity for those girls who have never had the chance to show their leadership. The girls spend one pe- riod a day each day of the week doing this work. Three or four times a year there is a gym aid meeting called in order to discuss the rules and regulations of the gym aids, and to discuss ijm Otides rules, and to give instructions to the girls con- cerning new games. The president of the club this year is Judy Schoonover. The girls also have an opportunity to supervise the Greek Games, for it is in the gym classes these various skills are taught and practiced. Each gym aid is given a different activity in Greek Games to teach. Some of these skills include the hoop, discus, torch race, and hurdling for form. They enjoy the work, and at the same time gain self-assurance and points in good leader- ship, along with the skill of being able to accept responsibilities both now and for the future. Considering all the activities these gym aides undertake, it can be said that the credit given them is certainly well deserved. Loft to right. Row J. Bavetto, P. Wolker, P, Dwir, J. Schoonover, R.

The group composed of twenty-five sophomores, and twenty-five juniors and seniors was the biggest and most enthusiastic group in many years. Practice was held at the Hempstead Recreation Center on Monday for the sophomores and Wednesday for the juniors and seniors. Here they practiced bettering their game. The fine coaching of their advisors. Miss Silver and Mrs. Cullen, enabled the girls to improve their bowling scores. This year's capable student leader was Joan Freudenberger who also as- sisted the advisors. At the end of the year the highest scorers of the sophomores competed with the highest scorers of the juniors and seniors in an annual tournament. Pins were awarded to the highest scorers to remind them of their successful year of bowling. SPORTS LEADERS Left to right. Row I: P. Dwir, D. Kitchens, J. Freudenber- ger, M. Boyce. Row Ih R.

Nearly a hundred girls from the sophomore, junior and senior classes have shown a great interest in this sport. The girls were divided into two groups, the sophomores who met every Monday and Wednesday, and the juniors and seniors who met Tues- day and Thursday. Under the able guidance and coaching of Mrs. Reicher and Mrs. Cullen, these girls received the instructions needed to play the game. The girls also competed with girls' basketball teams from other schools. Assisting Mrs. Reicher and Mrs. Cullen was student leader, Dottie Kitchens. The members of the girls’ basketball team proved themselves able to play a good game, and showed tremendous sportsmanship among them- selves and the girls on the other teams. 154 BOWLING Left to right.

CONGRATULATIONS from the Colonial staff to the various girls’ sports leaders of Hempstead High. The girls chosen have displayed exceptional ability in their line of sports. They have excelled in interest, skill, leader- ship and sportsmanship. The captain of this year's cheerleaders was Phyllis Dwir. She was assisted by June Smith as co-captain. Phyllis Dwir was leader of Modern Dance. Carolyn Crouch had charge of badminton, while Rita Babineau presided over Greek Games. Madelyn Boyce coached softball, and Joan Freuden- berger headed bowling. Judy Schoonover was the student leader of the gym aides. Basketball and horseback riding were under the leadership of Dotty Kitchens and Barbara Voorhies, respectively. BASKETBALL Left to right. Row I: J. Fru- denberger, R. Del Giorno. Row II: J. Smith, H.

IN the past, many girls have preferred badminton to other sports for recrea- tion and this year was no exception. There was a large turn out of sophomores, juniors and seniors who practiced and learned the rules and regulations of badminton. Coaching this activity was Mrs. Reicher and help- ing her was the student leader, Carolyn Crouch. The players use a “shuttlecock,” which is a small, hard rubber ball spliced in half, to the sides of which are attached short, strong, white feathers. The shuttle usually won’t fly more than fifty feet so that there is little chance of having to hunt balls that “go over the fence.” RIDING CLUB Left to right. Row I: I. Gross- man, J. Hermsted, A.

The sophomores played at the end of the eighth period, and the juniors and seniors at the end of the seventh period. Last year, the schedule was quite short running only from the end of April, after Greek Games, until the end of the sport activities for the year. We were sorry the softball season wasn't long enough for the girls to have a full season, and still have time for an honor team to compete with other schools. The past season Mrs. Reicher and Miss Beighly were the adult advisors with Claire Elznik filling the student advisor's position. BADMINTON Left to right, .Kneeling: J. Palmer, C. Crouch, J.

FROM the beginning of school to Thanksgiving, and in the spring from Easter to the middle of June, the members of the Girls' Riding Clu� ride every Wednesday afternoon after school. The bridle path encircles beautiful Hempstead Lake State Park. On these hour long rides anything can happen, and occasionally does because there is usually someone who dismounts in the rather uncomfortable way known as falling. But after that a girl can consider herself a confirmed equestrienne, and she needn't worry because her bruises will soon disappear. The main purpose of the club is to teach the girls to become better and more skillful riders. Despite all the aches and pains, the girls love every minute of it. 157 CjreeL (ji a me A ONE of the most colorful and exciting tradi- tions of Hempstead High School is Greek Games. Last year the melodic voices of the Girls' Glee Club set the scene for the arrival of the priestesses. Then, as the two teams of sophomore athletes, the Spartans and the Athenians made their picturesque entrance into the arena, the contestants began to demonstrate their athletic skills. The strong discus throwers, graceful hur- dlers, nimble hoop rollers, and swift torch racers were received with great enthusiasm. With the neighing of human horses and the stamping of feet, the chariot exhibition was announced. When all the events had been judged and the points totaled, the Athenians were proclaimed victors. Interspersed between the events were the presentations of the Modern Dance Club, whose agile movements added a note of spendor to this event. Under the direction of Lois Fennelly, and with the guidance of Mrs. Reicher, the Physical Edu- cation Department once again produced an ex- travaganza. Athenians cheering for their team.

Davis, a member of the Hempstead High School fac- ulty, passed away in Nassau Hospital. She was a member of the English Department, teaching English III and IV. Mrs. Davis came to Hempstead High in 1928 and taught here until her death. She was edu- cated at Michigan State Normal School, Ohio Wesleyan, and Columbia University, where she was a Phi Beta Kappa honor society member. Before coming to Hempstead, she taught at Reading High School, Reading, Massachusetts, and Wellenville High School in Wellenville, Ohio. During her twenty-eight years in Hemp- stead High School, Mrs. Davis made many nota- ble contributions in furthering student education. One of her outstanding achievements was her position as an advisor to the Colonial, where her deep interest and conscientious efforts were in- valuable aids in producing very fine yearbooks. Although Mrs. Davis has been taken from us, she will always live in the thoughts of those who knew her. 168 Choosing a Banking Connection May Not Be as Important — Cit...

I LIKE Ike and All the way with Adlai” | were common slogans in Hempstead High prior to the presidential election. On November 5, the hammering of a gavel could be heard issuing from the auditorium trying to calm the enthusiastic campaigners. A panel discussion was in full swing with representatives of both parties in heated debate. Representing the Re- publicans were Bill Ausman, Mary Hengstenberg and Gary Sunden, while Gary Cohan, Sue Mar- kowitz and Steve Bloomfield presented the Dem- ocratic platform, in this Booster Club sponsored debate. Students of Citizenship Education classes were given a chance to hear their respective parties and candidates defended for equal lengths of time. Moderated by Linda Drum, the various campaign issues were discussed: the Republican claim of prosperity and the Demo- cratic answer that it is prosperity for big business while the little ones suffer, Ike's health and ability to be a full time president, and Nixon's merits. The debate proved to be very enlighten- ing, with both sides presenting excellent points. The next day, Hempstead High School stu- dents were given the chance to vote for their favorite candidates in a mock election. They were allowed the additional privilege of crossing party lines. When the votes were counted, Ike and Nixon came out ahead of Stevenson and Kefauver, which was an indication of the coming results in the national election. 170 FISHER STUDIO, Inc.

The cleanliness, comfort, and tip-top condition of our building, however, takes long, hard hours of work. As the custodians work on split sched- ules, the school is kept open from 5 A.M. until 1 1 P.M. These evening hours not only permit adult education and special school functions, but also enables the custodians to make repairs on the school. Each of the men work full time throughout the year with only two weeks' sum- mer vacation. Though continually busy with straightening up after us, polishing the hall floors, shoveling walks, fixing shades, lights, and windows, and countless other duties all done with a great deal o.: efficiency, they can always be depended upon to help us in an emergency. When you confront them with a problem, they never fail to stop and willingly listen. All of us should try just a a little harder to avoid carelessly discarding pa- pers we no longer need on the hall and class- room floors. The custodians have a few complaints al- though they never feel the need to advertise them. These complaints are of students who mar the desks and chairs, abuse the window shades, kick the lockers, and perform other damaging deeds. Our custodians work hard to keep the school spotlessly clean and in top condition, so let’s all do our best to help them and they will ap- preciate it.

Harriet and Bertha living it up at the G. O. Show. CMC IT was homeroom time and a loud wail came over the P. A. system. What was this un- earthly sound? Was it a tribe of cannibals or a herd of elephants? These were the questions the suffering homeroom teachers asked. Students sent to the office came back with the simple answer ... it was only Harriet and Bertha Orangepeel. Who are they? Who else but Lynda Drum and Jane Browne. These girls, members of the Booster Club Advisory Board, got together at the beginning of the year to decide what they could do to arouse student interest on the P. A.'s special announcements. They knew that whenever the homerooms heard Stay tuned for a special announcement, they would pay little attention, so they took their country cousins' names (we can't mention them) and from them derived HARR et and BERTha Orange PEEL. Using these names they created two adorable characters, Harriet (Lynda), a southern belle, and Bertha (Jane), a “limey. Bertha pretends to be big boss over poor dumb Harriet, but in real life we are told it's vice-versa. Combining their senses of humor with school events for publicity, they came up with some original skits, ranging from peanut sales to formal dance ads designed to tickle the funny bone and keep us informed. In closing we leave you with those immortal words . . . Harriet, what are you doing? 174 Telephone BArclay 7-3692 Established 1907 ARTHUR NEWMAN MOELLER 95 NASSAU STREET NEW YORK 38, N. Y.

Senior Z rosh LAST October 11, the annual and exciting event of Senior Frosh Day, which officially initiated the freshman girls into our school, took place. Hempstead High was once again a confusion of bibs, bonnets, bottles, and short skirts which were worn by the freshmen. The freshmen brought bags and bags of lollipops which rap- idly disappeared in order to appease the appe- tites of their senior “mommies.” Dressed in dainty aprons with bows in their hair and stuffed animals and dolls tucked under their arms, the senior girls searched the halls looking for the newcomers and their lollipops. At the end of the school day, a wonderful party was held in the boys gym for all the frosh and their senior moms. Music was provided by Gary Sunden and the Indigos. Some of the talented seniors sang, danced and acted to everyone's delight. Helen Waranis was chosen for wearing the most original costume, and Frances Negler for having the prettiest hair. The girl with the most poise was Helene Ferrara, and Mary Ann Casey was chosen the cutest fresh- man. Also, Dorian Danchig was picked as the most typical of all the frosh. Brenda Baskind was chairman of the judges and Sally Dunmore assisted Brenda as co-chair- man. 176 Compliments of TUNNICLIFFE JONES PI 6-4221 DANISH MAID BAKE SHOP Decorated Calces to Your Order For Every Occasion OPEN ALL DAY SUNDAY 432 HILLSIDE AVENUE WILLISTON PARK IVanhoe 6-8300 GEORGE P.

IVanhoe 3-6600 lad id HEMPSTEAD HIGH SCHOOL had the pleasure of playing host to Nadia Hetata, an ex- change student, for a period of three weeks. She stayed at the home of Barbara Voorhies. Nadia comes from Cairo, Egypt, where her fa- ther is a general in Nasser’s army. She has three sisters and two brothers. She was eighteen in April and has one more year of high school to complete. Then to the University of Cairo for Nadia, where she will enter either the school of medicine or the school of commerce. An inter- esting feature of this university is the first day of school, which resembles initiation night into a sorority or fraternity. In school Nadia studies many of the subjects that we study such as English, French, geog- raphy, history and mathematics. She is on the girls' basketball and tennis teams. In fact, she won the tennis cup for all the Egyptian secon- dary schools. Nadia has other hobbies which include swimming, reading, bicycling and of course her four or five boyfriends. Our guest from Egypt feels that the American teenager has too much freedom. For example in Egypt, in order for a girl to date a boy, her parents must know who the boy's parents are, his address, phone number, exactly where they will be going and then proceed to give the girl a strict curfew. In spite of a few strange experiences, Nadia enjoyed her stay at Hempstead as much as we enjoyed having her. 178 B G Service Station Automotive Service and Accessories Expert Repair - Automatic Car Wash (PLUS S H Green Stamps) Front Street Corner Locust UNIONDALE.

Denny's” host here at Hempstead High was Ralph Campanella. Those who got to know Denny found him to be a regular fellow and no different from any of our American friends. Dennis spent most of his childhood in Manila on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Dennis attended Atenco Grade School, where he was Editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, and then Atenco High School where he was Editor- in-chief of The Bluebook, his school's yearbook. A number of panel discussions was also held, during which Denny was interviewed. Before his departure, a farewell tea was given for Denny and Nadia by The Student Council. After the entertainment our principal, Mr. Beddow, told of Hempstead High's warm feeling toward Dennis. This was followed by Denny's farewell speech. Following the speech- making, refreshments were served. After visiting a number of other schools, Dennis went to Washington, D. C., where he and other exchange students met President Eisenhower. 180 JOSEPH A. LISTER, Inc STATE LAUNDRY Cleaners and Laundercrs NEWMAN COURT HEMPSTEAD, N. Y.

IVanhoe 1-7210 The Christmas scene of Kennedy Pork. at SEVEN years ago the Art Department of Hemp- stead High School was asked to plan and make a Christmas display for Kennedy Park. The art classes submitted their plans and drawings to the Kennedy Park Board, and from this group the Christmas display was selected. This display had been used for seven years in many different ways with various additions and subtractions. However, this year the Art Department was asked for an entirely new design. The classes, under the supervision of Miss Oman and Mr. Pilkington, undertook this task immediately, and finally the most original design was selected by the Kennedy Park Board. The design chosen was centered around multicolored, stained glass windows symbolizing a church at Christmas. Going to the church were men, women, and children in pre-Civil War clothing. The research on costumes of that period was started, and the students drew their own cos- tume designs and figures, keeping in mind the fashions of that day. All of the art students con- tributed to the research, the designing, drawing and painting. It was displayed on December 21, for the Christmas holidays. The components of this year’s display will be shown in many different settings for following Christmas seasons. Hempstead High School can be proud of the very outstanding job done by its Art Department. 182 MONARCH BUICK CO., Inc.

Si oof am I the ON February 26, Hempstead High School's Business Education Department held an open night for the business people of Hemp- stead. The program was entitled, The School and the Community of Work. The theme was The Integration of Training and Education in the Preparation for Employment. The title and the theme were self-explanatory; the purpose of the affair was to show our local businessmen just what the various educational departments of Hempstead High School were doing to pre- pare students for employment. The program was opened with a speech from Dr. W. A. Kincaid, Superintendent of Schools, after which Mr. Beddow, the School's Principal, spoke. The fashion show then followed with the modeling of clothing by 18 high school boys to provide a visual commentary for the fashion show script, The Right Way to Dress for the Occasion,” provided by the American Institute of Men's and Boys' Wear. After the program, refreshments were served by hostesses in the cafeteria. This gave the employers a chance to meet the guidance counselors as well as the heads of all the departments. Through the skillful plan- ning and patience of those connected with this program, we have tried to show how all the departments help mold and perfect the youth who goes into the business world. 184 Mr. Meadow Brook Sends Best Wishes For Success To The Class of 1957 lre r i tM ora c � cr tA CONVENIENT OFFICES THROUGHOUT NASSAU COUNTY Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation TEXTILE OUTLET CO.

Compliments of STANLEY R. SADDLES, D.D.S. Mr. Franklin speaking to the seminor on radar. S: ience Seminar LOOKING to the past, we realize what a vital part science has had and the effect it will continue to have in our lives. Students at Hemp- stead High School realize what a boon science is to mankind. Enthusiastic students of this sub- ject, and those who some day wish to make science their career can be found as members of the Science Seminar. This is a school organ- ization which aids those students with a sincere interest in science. The Seminar is composed of twenty students who are required to have an eighty-eight or above average in Physics, Chemistry, or both. Every second Thursday of the month, the group meets under the able guidance of Mr. Faust and Mr. Levin. This meeting takes place during the eighth period, and lasts for forty-five minutes. At these meetings, the members carry out various interesting and educational programs. They may spend their time discussing topics of interest, having guest speakers, or fulfilling other interests of the participants. To supply its members with more advanced knowledge for which there is no class time is the main purpose of the club. Through this or- ganization, the members will be better prepared for college science. Among the members of the seminar there may be a few who, in years to come, will be great scientists. We certainly hope this occurs and wish success in the future to all the members of this worthwhile group. 186 WE HAVE IT! - YOUR DREAM The Most Natural Looking Cold Wave Special for High School Girls - Only $7 Complete ANY STYLE PARISIAN BEAUTY SALON 357A FULTON AVENUE Corner Washington Street Hempstead, N.

IVonhoe 7-9170 Even the Tiger helped Steve Bloomfield and Lynn Peurschner sell some peanuts to Mr. Tree. jf eanul AS Hempstead High School ushered in the 1956 football season, our Student Council also took a big step in serving the community. In accordance with the Hempstead Kiwanis Club's primary interest in helping underprivileged children, Hempstead students and Kiwanis mem- bers combined their eagerness and determina- tion in a peanut selling campaign. Each year the Kiwanis Clubs in Canada and the United States designate this day as Kiwanis Youth Day. Colorful posters were placed on the lamp posts throughout the Village of Hempstead by its students, while an active publicity campaign reigned in our school. With the arrival of 1,000 bags of peanuts, many cardboard baskets, at- tention-attracting armbands, and metal coin car- tons, all of which were paid for by the Kiwanis Club, the drive got under way. About fifteen students volunteered to donate their time and energy to this worthy cause. Finally, as the last call of Peanuts! Peanuts! Buy some peanuts! faded away, every bag had been sold at a profit of $105. The benefactor of this charitable campaign was the Roosevelt Cerebral Palsy Center. This money could undoubtedly be put to good use by this deserving and extremely efficient institution. Thus, what better answer could there be to the perennial question, In what constructive way does youth serve the community? 188 Compliments Compliments of the of Hempstead Theatre Semke Bus Lines, Inc.

Opposite Herrick Shopping Center PI 2-3320-1 Mr. Dole's Class Making the Candles. V EVERY Hempstead student has no doubt seen and admired the attractive holiday candle display which was built to celebrate Christmas and Chanukah. Extending from Main Street to Front Street and from Franklin Street to Fulton Street, this exhibition was made by the Industrial Arts students of Hempstead High School. All of the necessary equipment was supplied by the Hempstead Chamber of Commerce. These candles were made by the students under the supervision of Mr. Monsell in the General Shop, Mr. Dale in the Electric Shop, and Mr. Jelicks in the Metal Shop. For the first time in the his- tory of the school the assembly line and mass production methods were used. Both of those proved to be highly successful since it took only two days for the combined efforts of the three shops to complete the one hundred and twenty candles. Later they were installed on the lamp- posts by the citizens of the Village of Hemp- stead. Every boy in the three shops played a part in constructing these candles. The success of this enterprise with the school and the community working together is the proof of united commu- nity spirit. 190 FOR THE FINEST IN FOOD visit the EMPIRE STATE DINER “Longest in the World” 99 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.

Show on No- vember 15. The Master of Ceremonies, Johnny Ramo, first introduced a chorus line of ten high- kicking girls who rivaled the famed Rockettes. Solo tap dances were performed by Judy Krug and John Blocker. Further talent included a song parody entitled Heartbreak Motel by Uncle Don (Don Hood) and Junior (Mario Salerno). Playing to a full house, the harmonious Turf- tones, a male vocal group, really stopped the show when the audience demanded encore after encore. The Turftones were made up of Buck Green, Charles McElrath, Ted Merritt, and Hor- ace Green. A sweet soprano rendition of Sum- mertime was presented by Adele Wilson ac- companied by the Indigos, a seven piece band of Hempstead High School students. The Indigos also presented “When the Saints Come March- ing In,” with Gary Sunden soloing on the trum- pet. The dance of the twenties, the Charleston, was performed twice at the show; first a terrific arrangement by Saralee Garrick, and later in a hilarious comedy form by Lynda Drum and Jane Browne. Another riotous comedy was the Spit- tin' and Kissin' Act performed by Norma Treder, Bob Schuster, Pat Ferri, and Ralph Campanella. Directed by Harriet Gilbert, Student Council Vice-President, with Miss Newlon acting as the advisor, the G. O. Show this year marked an- other successful enterprise of our Student Council. 192 FINANCE YOUR NEXT CAR THRU US Quick Service — No Red Tape You Can Insure Your Car Through Your Own Broker Interest at 4 % per annum on New Car Loans Payable in Regular Monthly Installments THE SECOND NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY 29-31 MAIN STREET HEMPSTEAD.

Oic, er ANOTHER enterprise of the Student Council this year was beginning a new production of Tiger Reels, a 16-mm. color film about life in Hempstead High. The main purpose of the film will be to acquaint Freshmen and newcomers with the various departments, events, and the extra-curricular activities of the school. The film will portray a typical freshman's day and in- clude various features of the school year. The main reason for remaking the film was to put new life, new faces, and new ideas in it. Another addition was that of the Hub-Cat, our Hempstead High School mascot, who will appear throughout the movie and will add a light and comical touch to the film. Tiger Reel is being produced because of the great interest in this enterprise of our principal, Mr. Beddow, who is financing it from a fund at his disposal. Throughout the year, the Student Council committee has been preparing the film. The committee was headed by Chairman Steve Bloom- field, who, with Roy Feldman and Jorene Keenan, outlined the format and worked out the timing. The remaining members, consisting of Sherry Rice, Sam Gold, and Bob Nesbitt, helped with the staging of the scenes, and Mr. Smith, with Roy Feldman’s assistance, competently handled the photographic portion. The film should be ready next term for the incoming freshmen and new students. 194 Administrative Assistants 13 Art Department 20 Audio-Visual Squad 93 Badminton 156 Band ....-........................................... 112 Baseball, Varsity 143 Basketball, Girls’ 154 Basketball, J.
