Our nation would not be able to survive if it did not have such strong people as he to teach its youth. Particularly in the field of mathematics his contributions have been far greater than we realize. Also, he has taught his students the importance of taking advantage of the education provided for them. Not only has he been a leader as a teacher, but as the Head of our Mathematics Department also. Thus, it is with great pride and apprecia- tion that we dedicate the 1961 Colonial to you—Mr. Robert Hayes. FOREWORD Democracy — one of the most wonderful and powerful words in the English language. It is the cause for which thousands of men have fought and died; it is the voice of free men of all races in all countries demanding their right to self- government. Yes, democracy is indeed an awesome thing. Very seldom do we realize, however, that we are living in a democracy — here, at Hempstead High School. Let us look around us. Here we see students of all races and all religions . . . here we have a Student Council which well resembles our House of Representatives in Congress . . . we also have a democratic way of electing our presi- dent, vice-president, and other Student Council officers . . . and here our students have every opportunity they need to express their ideas and opinions, whether in their classes or in our high school newspaper or in our assemblies. With these and many other examples we, the Colonial Staff of 1961, wish to present the idea of democracy in a small nation to you, the inhabi- tants of our nation, Hempstead High. We are sure that you will soon see that Hempstead High School is very much like a small nation governed in a democratic way!

AMOS KINCAID Superintendent of Schools Board of Education TO Dr. Kincaid and the Board of Education falls the task of running the school system economically and beneficially. The astute mem- bers of the board congregate once a month. They file into the spacious board room and be- gin their routine. The clerk. Miss Doty, presents the business for their consideration while the board listens attentively. The benign president, Emil Bejsovec, inadvertently nods his head at each item and waits patiently. The reading fin- ished, he asks if there is any other unfinished business; none. The board then proceeds with the discussion of the many problems involved in the running of a large and well-organized school system. 10 Administration DR. THOMAS D. SHELDON Principal ARTHUR FLAX Assistant to the Principal THE government of our school is in the hands of our principal, Dr. Sheldon, and his assist- ants. Mr. Flax, as assistant principal, and Mr. Keenan, as dean of boys, supervise the extra- curricular program, the work of Office 104, and the discipline and attendance problems of the school. Mr. Prahl is the director of guidance. The director of the audio-visual department in the Hempstead Public Schools is Mr. E. C. Moore, who has decided to retire this year. E. CARLETON MOORE WILLIAM PRAHL Curriculum Coordinator Director of Guidance ROBERT KEENAN Staff Assistant Faculty l'll E should not ask what America will Yw do for us but what we can do for America. This was the plea President Kennedy presented on the day of his inauguration. Surely, the faculty members at Hempstead had America’s future in mind when they first began to teach. It would not be wrong to say that each and every teacher has contributed greatly to our nation’s pleas for better educated citizens. Particularly in the fields of science and mathematics, the demands are very high. Hempstead High is very fortunate in hav- ing courses which provide a full education in both mathematics and science. English and foreign languages are two other fields in which Hempstead High ex- cels. The courses scheduled for each stu- Left to right.

Along with the every day activities provided for the students, are clubs which enable the student to become more conversant with each field. In the field of business, the courses are varied, such as shorthand, business law, typing, business arithmetic and secretarial practice to help the student to realize his ambitions. As a result of the retailing pro- gram, students are able to gain the neces- sary experience for sales positions after graduation. Citizenship education courses also have a great effect on the students and their understanding of the events that are tak- ing place in the world today. Included in these courses are ancient history, medieval history, and current history. Through the informally conducted classes, and student participations in discussions, the students become informed and stimulated. Hempstead High offers great opportuni- ties for those interested in the arts, namely music, dramatics, and art. In the classes of these subjects, the students are able to gain much understanding of the cultural and political backgrounds of both the Uni- ted States and Europe. Since no one will disagree with the fact that a brilliant mind needs a healthy body, our faculty also boasts of several physical education teachers. In conclusion we must admit that every student graduates from Hempstead High as a well-rounded citizen. This is due to the diligent and faithful work of our faculty. We are deeply grateful to our faculty for the education and preparation they have given us so that we may be able to face the future years knowing that we have been afforded the opportunity to learn.

However, time has a strange way of slipping by unnoticed and now we are seniors. On that first day the word “senior” had a beautiful and far-off ring. Richard Erodenko, Peggy Thoma, Louise Geller, and Mary Tsairis stare defiantly at Steve Mindich in a drama work- shop presentation. Now all we have are the memories of what we did. The fun and excitement of Ihe Senior Ball, the enjoyment of those special privileges during Senior Week and all those vivid satires of Class Night have been enjoyed. Not one single senior, however, can deny that while we have had a great deal of fun, we have also worked hard in order to be ready to take our places in the business and college worlds 20 Heor anything?” inquires Sandy Hills of Lillian Hall and Karen Dickenson. after graduation. Who knows what the future holds for us as we approach graduation? Each of us is full of questions as to our careers. Will we be teachers, storekeepers, scientists, or home- makers? Karen Balacek and Paavo Sepri receive honor owards from Dr. Sheldon. Although those who come after us will soon forget what we have done, all of us have a spe- cial warm spot in our hearts for storing our mem- ories of Hempstead High, our alma mater.

It consists of one representative from each American History class plus the four senior class officers, Tom Pugliese, Karen Dickenson, Vicki Yurasits, and Dale Sleekier, who meet weekly to discuss senior activities. The first item on the agenda this year was Senior- Frosh Day. Immediately after this event the seniors began to work on their Senior Ball for which they chose the theme of the Orient. Following this event, preparations were begun for the annual Senior Class Night and Senior Week. Both Senior Class Night and Senior Week were mem- orable occasions during which the bonds between stu- dents and faculty were strengthened. The fun-filled days of Class Week will remain in the minds of the partici- pants. Ltfl to right, Row I: V. Yurasils. T. Pugliese, D. Sleekier, K. Dickenson. tow II: Mr. levin, M. Flynn, V.

IT was cold and blustery on the night of Janu- ary 27, but inside the Boys' Gym everything was Oriental warmth and color. The Senior Ball was in full swing with couples dancing to the sweet strains of the Suburbans’ music. Set in a gilt and red pagoda, the band played under swaying lanterns. King and Queen of the Ball were Albert Shaw and Polly Keenan, who reigned with regal splen- - dor from their table. But as everything must, all things come to an end sometime and with the last “Goodnight Ladies,” the Senior Ball 1961 was over.

At the beginning of this year, the first thing on the agenda was to elect a student to represent each junior English class for the nomination of candidates for each office. The elections took ADVISORS Left to right: Mr. Zoro, Miss Abbott, Miss Dorwin.

In one year, the sophomores have taken a great step from c group of newly-arrived freshmen to a new phase as upperclassmen along with the juniors and seniors. To help them in the functioning of their class activities, they had three very helpful ad- visors; Miss Ignelzi, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Williams. At the beginning of the school term, each English class set about selecting a representative to serve on the committee to nominate students Ronald Moffitt President V Jacqueline Perry Vice-President Ellen Fox Secretary Austine Quigley attempts to reach her next class in time. to run for the four class offices. After the selec- tion of nominees, each sophomore student voted in his English class. The choice of the students read as follows: President, Ronald Moffitt; Vice- President, Jacqueline Perry; Secretary, Ellen Fox; and Treasurer, Nick Felsh. During the school year, each sophomore stu- dent had an interview with his guidance coun- selor, Miss MacDougall. With her guidance, each student was able to plan his school program to benefit his particular needs. Near the end of the school year, the sopho- more class enjoyed a party financed by I heir class dues. K. Kelly. Row II: J. Schwenk, T. Lombardi, J. Scholl, E. Johnson, M. Blackmon, B. Green, A.

Freshman Class WEEKS of planning and anticipation had pre- ceded that September day. A sensation of awe, mixed with curiosity, germinated within him. Nervous, although he’d never admit it, the fresh- man entered his first class. What was it like? It was like the inception of spring, when each tree and bush brushes off the grey cloak of winter and tries on her new green dress for size. There was a new sense of free- dom and responsibility, but our freshman lifted and carried the load, never asking anyone to bear part of the weight. One day, when the green leaves had been painted orange and crimson, the freshmen girls Rene Sonterre President Yvonne Hope Vice-President Arthur Moore and Richard Wylie each claim the movie film in the oudio-visual room. officially departed on their journey through the maze of halls and classrooms toward that year when they would be seniors. This day was Senior-Frosh Day. The freshmen were dressed as “babies well supplied with lollipops and the senior mommies, dressed accordingly, carried stuffed animals and showed a hint of remorse at reaching the end of the super-highway through high school. Throughout the year, our freshmen worked hard planting the perennial seeds of friendship and education which will become increasingly fruitful with the proper attention and care. Left to right.

The magazine sale was probably the most notable activity this past year. Prizes were offered to the most successful salesmen in each class. Through this sale we have acquired an outdoor electrical scoreboard. The annual dances, the Varsity Drag, and the B.B.B., along with a G.O. Dance, were other activities on this year s agenda.

Recording Secretary Karen Smylie Corresponding Secretory Carol Greene Booster Club A SEGMENT of the Student Council that literally “boosts” our school spirit is the Booster Club. This body of spirited persons is com- posed of students chosen because of their interest in extra-curricular affairs such as sporting events, dances, and pep rallies. At the head of this group is President, Laurin Raiken, who, with the assistance of Mr. Rago, regulates the projects of the Booster Club. At the beginning of the year, did you ever wonder who drew the bright posters that suggested your purchasing a G.O. ticket, or who announced a coming game, dance, or pep rally? Or, did it ever enter your mind who that “loud bunch of kids” was who dominated the bleachers and cheered as loudly as they could during football games? Well, if you don’t know by now it was the members of the Booster Club, you will never know. Credit is due the Booster Club for their efforts in “boosting” the spirit of Hempstead High School’s students.

To help us with the task of produc- ing a book, we were expertly guided by the faculty advisors: Mr. Ayres, and Miss Linn, managing the Editorial Staff; Mrs. Grant, directing the Art Staff; and Mr. Helbach, handling the Business Staff. This yearbook had as its Editor-in- Chief, Loretta Sanders, who efficiently supervised the matter of the Editorial Staff. Aiding her in these responsibili- ties were the other editors: George Randa, Associate Editor; Elga Sen- bergs, Senior Editor; Susan Whitney, Copy Editor; Marilyn Mayer, Photogra- phy Editor; and Alan Young, Feature Editor. Our Art Editor, Susan Gladding, worked very diligently with her staff to produce drawings which adorn these pages and which reverberate the theme throughout the yearbook. Seeing to the job of financing the yearbook was the Business Editor, Ken- neth DeVoe. He and his staff solicited advertisements from business concerns. Our combined effort and time are factors which, we hope will make your 1961 Colonial a collection of fond memories in future years. BUSINESS STAFF Left to right. Row . E. Elting, G. Gorcia, K.

THE students of Hempstead High School would never know the activities in school if it weren’t for the publication of the Patriot. On the day of the Patriot's distribution, students anxi- ously await its arrival. Once in their hands, they read and enjoy the many interesting articles that compose the newspaper: latest news of the school, editorials, “introducing” columns, “ex- changed columns, and sport news. Reading the Patriot, they find, is the best way to catch up on school activities. In charge of the complete process of the pub- lication is Editor-in-Chief Ruth Ossias, who has done a competent job this year. Assisting her is Associate Editor Valerie Jankowski.

After being written, these are submitted to be proofread by Copy and Rewrite Editor Evelyn Goldblatt, her assistant, Harri Rothenberg, and staff members. Then the articles are sent to the printer. After the copy comes back, the paper, on “Dummy” night, is put into the format in which it will be printed. Before it is sent back to the printer, it goes through final corrections. On the following Tuesday, copies of the Patriot are distributed free to the students owning a G.O. ticket; all others pay a nickel for each copy. The cost of publication is reduced due to the securing of advertisements for the paper by members of the Business Staff. Credit and compliments should be given not only the students who produce the Patriot, but also the faculty advisors, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Law- son, and Mr. Brown, who devote much of their time and effort in assisting them.

Principal s Service Squad ONE of the most valuable service organiza- tions in our school is the Prinicpal’s Service Squad whose members operate the switchboard in Office 105. The Squad, consisting of twenty girls, is headed by Ellen Christ as Chief and Clare Margiotta as Assistant Chief. The mem- bers help Dr. Sheldon and his secretaries by sorting incoming mail, running errands, and es- corting visitors around the school. The squad holds frequent meetings during the year, the highlight of the year being the Christ- mas party which was held in Dr. Sheldon’s office. Because of their efficiency and courtesy, the members of the Principal's Service Squad have contributed greatly to the smooth running of our school. Their cheerfulness and helpfulness is greatly appreciated by all. 76 THE Audio-Visual Squad performs an invalu- able service to the successful operation of our school. It helps in the instruction of subjects, aids in the functioning of the Audio-Visual Depart- ment, and gives a great deal of practical expe- rience to the members of the squad. The thirty- four students are supervised by Mr. Moore, and Mr. Lind, his assistant. During each period, there are four members assigned to the office whose duty it is to operate the equipment in the various classes according to schedule. They also inspect and service the equipment, and set up assignments for later periods. Since 1934, when it was started by Mr. Moore, the Audio-Visual Squad has played an impor- tant part in the educational program of our high school. Audio-Visual Squad Left to right. Row R. Wolfe, M.

Counselors Service Squad THE Counselor’s Service Squad is composed of a number of girls who are willing to give up a free period every day to help keep Office 102 running smoothly. Their duties run the gamut from filing to typing, from scheduling interviews to running errands. Under the careful supervision of Miss Mac- Dougall these girls learn many valuable office procedures while they are proving themselves useful. These experiences will be helpful whether the squad members continue their education or begin their careers immediately after graduation. All in all the members of this squad chosen for their willing and cheerful work habits, perform invaluable services not only to Office 102 but also to the entire school. 78 WHERE do I go for my freshman interview? What shall I do if the college of my first choice doesn’t accept me? Do you know where I can find a college catalog? The answer to all these questions is Office 101, as any member of that squad can tell you. The girls on this squad do just what girls on any other squad do. They type, carry the ever- present pink slips around, and, in general, help out around the office. Under the direction of Miss Ronnermann, Mr. Prahl’s secretary and head of Office 101 Squad, this squad can easily be termed one of the most efficient and best run in the school.

Art Club WITH the helpful guidance of the club’s ad- visor, Mrs. Grant, the Art Club has pros- pered much since its beginning a few years ago. This club is designed to give an opportunity to those who wish to exercise their talents outside regular art classes. During this past year the members of the Art Club executed their abilities in projects which included the making of creative jewelry, oil painting, and block printing. President Patricia McGinnis and Secretary- Treasurer Frances Favole have helped to make the Art Club one of the more outstanding clubs of Hempstead High. The club members would be the last ones in this world to tell you that this club was not worth all the time and effort which went into making it a successful year for them. Left to right. Row I: R.

AS everyone knows, each department head has a great deal of extra work in addition to his regular teaching duties. To help with this work each of them has a student secretary. Since it is obvious that these girls must be the best in the junior and senior secretarial classes, the Secretaries to the Faculty must be recom- mended by their shorthand teachers. As a part of their duty these girls take dicta- tion, run the various office machines, cut stencils and type master copies. This work, however, is not done when the girls find time. Every day they are given certain assignments which must be completed on the same day. As you can see, these secretaries are invaluable to the depart- ment heads.

They are those capable girls who can usually be seen with a handful of pink, white, or yellow messages for students and faculty alike. It must not be supposed, however, that these girls do nothing but deliver notes. Actually the major portion of their work is done behind the scenes in Office 103 and Office 104. In the offices the girls take care of filing, typing and making tele- phone calls. In spite of all this work, the Junior Secretaries are still able to be pleasant when their job calls for greeting and showing visitors around the school or for ushering on “Open House.“ 82 WHILE the juniors and seniors who are inter- ested in the higher forms of mathematics have the Tupiar Club, the freshmen and sopho- more, interested in learning more math than is commonly taught in their regular classes, have the Junior Math Club. In this club, under the capable direction of Mr. Windt, the members can delve into the strange and interesting forms of mathematics. In this way the future engineers, scientists, and mathematicians of our country get their first love of math. In this way eager young students have a way of learning more than the average pupil as well as acquainting Junior Math Club (j7 otrc L % lef. to right. Row I: A. Davis, S. Leigh, Mr. Windl, R.

Among their responsibilities are checking in re- turned books, putting away books and maga- zines, bringing the attendance sheets to the study halls, and helping with the clerical work of the librarians. The staff, while doing its work, learns much about the library which will help them in the future. This work has already interested many of them in becoming librarians or in pursuing re- lated careers. The library staff is an important asset to our school and also to our students. We are very fortunate in having such a staff. Library Staff Left to right. Row l: J. Boriotti, E. Furman, F. Gillmon. Row II: H. Fischer, Miss Giganti, Miss Herod, Mrs. Cullen, A. Arcman. Row III: M.

Rifle Club THE Rifle Club, which first started in 1935, has grown to be a very important and popular activity in our school. Under the supervision of Mr. Voorhies, it teaches its members the correct method of using firearms, the parts of the rifle, and the safe way to shoot with skill. Equipped with a newly built shooting range and the best rifles, the club practices marksmanship and car- ries on competitions between its members. There are numerous awards given to those who have met the standards set by the National Rifle As- sociation. The members also try for Army quali- fications at the end of the year. Their scores from shooting from different positions are sent to the Army which presents medals to the out- standing marksmen. 85 THIS year’s Junior Red Cross, under the excel- lent guidance of Mrs. Chapman, should be well commended for the wonderful job they have done. This is not a club for special mem- bers but rather an organization of students to which everyone in school can belong. Each class- room has an elected representative who takes care of the Junior Red Cross business for that particular room, and who then reports back to the monthly meeting. The first thing the group did this school year was to hold a Financial Drive in which they collected approximately $140.00. At the begin- ning of this Financial Drive each homeroom rep- resentative gave a short speech on the need of the various peoples of our trouble-torn world. They have also made slippers, bibs, joke books, etc., which were then sent to various old-age homes and children’s hospitals. The group’s spe- cial activity for the year was to collect boxes containing cigarettes, small toys, cosmetics, jew- elry, toilet articles, and dolls; these will be sent to the Congo. The Junior Red Cross also sup- plied some very interesting literature on the work of the various other Junior Red Cross organizations in other schools throughout the country.

The answer to that question is the Secre- tarial Service Squad. In fact, they not only cut the stencils, run off the copies, and proofread those same copies, but they also type the teach- er's master copy. Every girl who has the honor to serve on this squad also has a great responsibility. She must not only report to the mimeo room one period a day, but she must also make sure that work is done as it is assigned. Although the Secretarial Squad performs a great service to the school, it also affords an opportunity for the girls to be better prepared to meet the business world. Senior Service Squad EVERY office is helped out by a squad of girls. Office 106 is no exception, since they are aided by the extremely competent members of the Senior Service Squad. Actually they do just what you would expect them to do. They type, file those blue cards, hand out literature on the college boards, and, in general, make them- selves useful in whatever way possible. These girls are selected by Miss Duryea, the school's registrar, for their willingness to work and their responsible character. No one who comes in contact with these girls has ever had a complaint. Indeed, they are among the finest of our office squads. Left to right. Row I: M. Favale, J. Thomas, L. Dall'Aste, K. Gil- bert, P. Murray. Row II B. Bor- ton, B. Mott, J. Eckhardt, S. Bechtel, C.

Last year, however, the caterpillar spun its cocoon and now it has emerged as a butterfly. That is to say we now have a modern and up-to-date school store. This new Blue and White Corner is located in what used to be the Senior Library. It is not, how- ever, at all what it used to be. Now the students can walk into the store and look around. There is also a large display case inside th store as well as a display window facing the hall. Many things about the Blue and White Corner have not changed, much to everyone's pleasure. For example, Mr. Davidson is still the store’s manager. We can still find the same old-fash- ioned courtesy on the part of the sales people (alias the members of the business classes). While everyone was surprised and delighted with the new quarters for the Blue and White Corner, everyone was equally pleased that their sales policy had not changed. Left to right. How l: A.

Co-operative Retailing Varsity Club IF a student of our high school is interested in wholesale buying or retail selling in any form, he is offered the opportunity of becoming a member of the co-operative retailing classes. In addition to that he can also become a mem- ber of the comparatively new Business Club. This club enables the student to learn those skills which the average teacher does not have time to present in the course. Thus the club serves both an educational and a social pur- pose. THE Varsity Club is supposed to promote a closer relationship between athletics and academics. The newly introduced sports, soccer and wrestling, have increased membership to the extent of unwieldiness. Conflicting training schedules of the athletes have made the task of organizing the club into a functioning membership a difficult one. The varsity jacket itself has become commonplace, thus losing any special significance. The club’s advisor, Mr. Scheussler, plans to discuss the club with Dr. Sheldon and, if pos- sible, to reorganize it. Left to right. Row I M. Norman, R. Greco, S. Schulman, D. Lehman. Row II: J.

To the unitiated it may not seem to be very interesting to spend an afternoon trading stamps, but to the real en- thusiastic collector these are golden hours. Actually the members of this club would probably like to do nothing more than trade stamps unless they could go to one of those tiny shops run by stamp dealers and buy some more stamps. FOR those who want to become nurses or who are inter- ested in health and first aid, the Health Service Squad offers both practical experience and a chance to see the nursing field at first-hand. The members of the Health Service Squad help Miss Best and Dr. Combes in the health office during their free period each day. Among their responsi- bilities are running errands, putting the sick people in bed, taking temperatures, and filing records. The squad consists not only of members of the Future Nurses Club but also others who are interested in nursing. ONE of the fields directly affected by the countless scientific advancements made in the past few years is the field of photography. Hempstead's contribution to the better understanding of this advancing field is the Camera Club under the guidance of Mr. Smith. Through the Camera Club, students interested in photog- raphy can learn of the new phases and new inventions in this field, and can share their own experiences with others. At club meetings the members see and discuss movies, learn about and use new equipment, and practice the taking and developing of pictures. THE History Club was formed last year by several juniors and seniors under the guidance of Mr. Fish. These stu- dents felt that they would like to specialize in one particu- lar area of history on a comprehensive basis. This year the Civil War period was studied. The club exhibited writings, money, and other objects of that era in the second floor showcase. The History Club, open only to juniors and seniors, had a membership of fourteen this year. Camera Club History Club Tupiar Club THE Tupiar Club, under the supervision of Mr. Hayes, provides numerous opportunities to those who are interested in the field of math- ematics. Among these opportunities are an in- troduction to the many divisions of this interest- ing field, instruction in topics which are not in- cluded in the regular school course, and a preview of higher and more complicated math- ematics. Some of the topics taught this year were the use of the slide rule, advanced analytic geometry, and the fundamentals of surveying and statistical engineering. This club has become very important to our school because of the great emphasis which has been placed lately on the field of mathematics. It has given those students who have a natural aptitude and liking for this field much advanced instruction which will be an advantage to them in their college and later careers. Since few other schools offer such subjects as calculus and other forms of higher mathematics which are taught in the Tupiar Club. This club serves as a springboard by which the members may dive into the limitless reaches of the impenetrable and more theoretical world of higher mathematics. Left to right. Row l: S. Bernstein, C.

ONE of the most active clubs in Hempstead High is the Future Nurses Club. This year they renewed their charter and are now a mem- ber of the National Future Nurses Club. Throughout the year they have done a num- ber of things. For example, they have seen nu- merous films on the various stages of nursing as a career. They also had a very interesting guest speaker from the United States Navy. Perhaps the most exciting event of the entire year was a visit to Queens General Hospital. There they were given a tour of the hospital. While doing all the things with other girls who are interested in a nursing career, they are also picking up information which will be very valuable to them when they start their career as nurses. As everyone knows, there is a shortage of nurses in our great country. With a club such as this, Hempstead High is certainly doing her part to help meet the urgent need for registered Left to right.

THIS year is the anniversary of a club which for the past ten years has successfully endeavered to encourage interest in the highest standards of the teaching pro- fession and to develop high ideals of leadership in our school. The Peter Cooper F. T. A. was started in 1950 with thirty members from all four classes. Under the supervision of Miss Barth, a charter and a constitution were drawn up. As the membership grew larger, the club was divided into two groups, the Peter Cooper Club for juniors and seniors and the Horace Mann Club for freshmen and sopho- mores. Eventually the Horace Mann Club was divided; the sophomore club being named after their dedicated advisor, Mrs. Esther P. Greenlund. At the present time, the Future Teachers of America is one of the most active clubs in the school with a membership of over 100 students. Under the capable direction of Miss Winter, a program has been followed which not only has benefited 94 the members in preparing for their college and teaching careers, but also has benefited the school and community. Among the many activities open to F. T. A. members are: ushering and guiding at school functions, serving at teas, attending annual meetings of the Long Island Future Educators, and observing in classrooms. The varied meet- ings consist of guest speakers, discussion groups, and informative movies. The Future Teachers of America Club offers a beneficial service to Hempstead High School. It gives undecided students an opportunity to view teaching as the career for themselves and serves as a guide to those who have already chosen teaching as their life’s work. We wish a happy anniversary to the Future Teachers of America and may they achieve their aims as successfully in the future as they have in the past. Left to right, Row I A. Jernow, I. Povony, D.

The main purpose of this organization is to acquire experience in homemaking that is not handled in class, such as entertaining guests and pre- paring special dishes. At Christmas they adopted a family and pro- vided a wonderful Christmas for them. One of their main projects has been U.N.I.C.E.F., an or- ganization connected with the United Nations. U.N.I.C.E.F. aids poor, unfortunate children all over the world by providing them with food and clothing. On March 9, 1961, these home- makers of the future went to the UN to see a film about U.N.I.C.E.F. Also an assembly pro- gram was given on March 22 by these girls. They showed what they had learned about U.N.I.C.E.F. Other projects included a Hawaiian dinner and tea for former homemaking students who have graduated. This year has been an active and enjoyable one for the Future Homemakers of America. Left to right. Row I: E. Johnson, M. Hills, S. Bernstein, K. Gomillion, V. Myers, M. Allocco. Row II: J.

German Club S) Jtt JXiiL- man film, a musical sing-along, a guest speaker, or even a party, particularly at Christmas time and at the final meeting of the school year. Then, of course, there is the annual club excur- sion, which every member looks forward to. This year, the German Club had the pleasure of at- tending a performance given by the Vienna Boys Choir at the Town Hall in New York City. After this peformance, the German members traveled downtown to the Brauhaus, at typical German res.aurant, located on East 54th Street. There, they filled themselves with such delicious German dishes as Sauerbratten, Wienerschnit- zel, and Apple Strudel. The German Club, as you can see, is, indeed, a very active and a very successful club. It has and always will strive to interest the average German student in the cultural as well as educa- tional aspects of the German language. 97 Left to right, Row l: J. Mcdnick, K. Balccek, K.

THE Spanish Club has been too active this year to have had time for a siesta, but every other facet of Spanish life has been re-created and relived by the enthusiastic members. Assisted by Mrs. Stilger, they easily manage to throw off the cares of the school day in order to have fun. One of the most popular habits of the club, the annual Spanish dinner consisting of arroz con polio, and prepared by the members them- selves, was not broken this year. Nor will it ever be, judging from their ear-to-ear smiles as they devoured the delicious meal! Spanish tradition was carried still further as the club visited the Hispanic Museum. The group also attended a ballet at the City Center, and the theatre production of “My Fair Lady,” and dined at the Spanish restaurant, El Fundador. The Spanish Club has been this year, as al- ways, muy bien! 98 Spanish Club French Club Loft to right, Row I: J. Willows, K. Balocek, D. Sleekier, C. Grimaldi, L. Troub, D. Bognall, H. Rothenberg, K.

UNDER the direction of Madame Young, the Hempstead High School French Club, Le Cercle Francois, offers a program of theatre trips, talks, and discussions, supplementing the classroom activities of the French students. This year many members went to see, on film, the Comedie Francaise presentation of “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.” Several members were fortunate enough to be able to see the world- famous French mime, Marcel Marceau, at Hofstra College. Club members also went to see the Comedie Francaise present plays by Moliere. Mr. Weinberg of the Music Department gave a talk on French music, in French. Two members of the club, Mark Gottlieb and Paul Burt, showed slides of their trips to France. As an annual Christmas project, the French Club and the French classes collected money for an orphan- age in Sedan, France, “La Famille. By the end of the year the club members realized the pleasure of taking advantage of many French cultural offerings available to them. Latin Club Left to right, Row l: C. Levey, J. Schwenk, E.

The many members always manage to throw off the tensions of the school day in order to have fun. The officers, who roam around the room in white sheets (otherwise known as togas), direct the club’s activities which include every- thing from a Latin “Who was l?“ to a re- enactment of a Roman trial. The members never miss a chance to spoof the famous Romans or their ancient customs, and everybody, including Miss Winter, the club’s advisor, gets a big kick out of it. The club is famous for one other thing, which is of the utmost importance to most of the club members, and that is its wonderful refresh- ments which are served after each meeting. Although the ancient Romans might not ap- prove of the unorthodox proceedings, not even a personal command from Jupiter sent on a lightning bolt could make the members change them! EVERY department of Hempstead High School has a number of students chosen to help the faculty. This is true for every department from the physical education department to the various office staffs. The art department is no exception to this rule. The Art Aides have proved over and over again that they perform useful and neces- sary tasks for the benefit of the art department as well as for the individual classes. Although these students may sem to serve only a utilitarian purpose on behalf of the art department they are also learning many new and varied techniques which they might not ordi- narily have the chance to learn in class. As everyone knows the various squads and aides of this school are of the utmost necessity for the smooth running of every department. This is certainly true about the Art Aides. Without them the art classes would accomplish much less work and the art teachers would be bogged down by time-consuming tasks. Actually we can give them no higher praise than to say that they do their job and do it well. Left to right. Row I: B. Brinkley, P. Sirhoki� , F. Scaefer, S. Young. Row II. K. Bolocek, S.

SERVICE, scholarship and leadership are the goals of the Pentagon Club. As may be sur- mised, this club for junior and senior boys is ac- tually an honor club. To continue in this organi- zation, the members must maintain an average of 90% or better. Under the guidance of Mr. Fish this club meets twice a month. This year something new was added to the boys' honor club. This new ingredient was the girls' honor club. That is to say, when the two clubs were taken into a national honor society, they fused for the purpose of forming the Diog- enes Chapter. As always, at the end of the year, the club awarded two prizes to certain members of the club. One prize was awarded to the member who had maintained the highest average mark. The other prize went to the boy who best repre- sented the ideals of the club. Pentagon Club 102 Pen and Ink Left to right, Row I: C. Grimaldi, M. Taylor, C. Semon, E. Fehr. P. McGinnis, C.

IN order to be eligible for membership in the Pen and Ink Club, which is under the leader- ship of Mrs. Stilger and Miss Abbott, a junior or senior girl must have a scholastic average of 90%, and must demonstrate constructive leader- ship, purposeful service, and worthy character. With Mrs. Stilger, Miss Abbott and Mr. Fish as faculty advisors, the Pen and Ink Club and the Pentagon Club have joined to form the Diog- enes Chapter and now belong to the National Honor Society. The many activities of the club consisted of the induction ceremony, in which each girl prom- ised to live up to the club’s motto; the Mother and Daughter Tea; a theater party, and a visit to the Cloisters. The guests at their enjoyable meetings included speakers on art, literature, and music. The girls also took complete charge of the drive for the March of Dimes that took place here in school. to right. Row l: D. Brody, A. Schwartz. Row li: K. King, R. Frantz, A. Brown, R. White, J.

THE Junto Club, under the direction of Mr. leusch, is an organized group interested in further enhancing their knowledge. To be eligible for membership you must have at least an aver- age of 90 %. The first meeting of the Junto Club in October of 1960, dealt with the election of officers and the organization of the group. Since then there have been many enjoyable and interesting monthly meetings. In November, our renowned principal, Doctor Sheldon, spoke to the Junto and Pallas Club, the girls' honor club, on scholastic achievement and scholar- ships. Then followed a Christmas Party enjoyed by both the Junto and Pallas Clubs. Miss MacDougall, our sophomore guidance counselor, addressed the Junto and Pallas Clubs in February of 1961, with information on a fa- mous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. In March, the Junto Club was happy to have as their guest, Mr. Miller, to inform them on what requirements are needed for college. ’ • • • • • •• • Junto Club 104 Pallas Club Loft fo right. Row l: J.

Wis- dom is only one of the goals of this club, for its members strive also to be good citizens and worthy leaders. Although a ninety average is required of all incoming members, it is not all work and no play for them. Throughout the year, the club has many guest speakers from among the faculty and administration who speak to them on topics touching on all subjects of hu- man interest. Parties are often held jointly with the Junto Club on such occasions as Christmas and the end of school. The members of the Pallas Club act as hostesses on important school occasions such as the Open Houses which are held in October. The Pallas Club, under the capable super- vision of Miss Gunnerson, serves not only as a recognition for those sophomore girls who have achieved much scholasticaly, but also as an effi- cient and helpful service organization to our school. We should be very proud of the girls who belong to this club and also to Miss Gun- nerson for making it possible. vYrjffiv' Senior Science Club Left to right, Row . S. Cohen, E. Dymicki, D. Scully.

The meetings this year, under the guidance of Mr. Faust, were devoted to lectures, discussions and experiments other than those carried on in regular classes. Sue Graves and Lauren Raiken demonstrated some biological experiments which they had previously done at Waldemar Laboratory during the summer. Also, the club had a guest speaker, who delivered an authoritative speech on con- tact lenses. 106 BECAUSE of today’s great need for scientists, doctors, and enginers, junior science clubs play an important role in the very welfare of America. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Lawson, the club stimulates a poignant interest in many fields of science. There are frequent lec- tures, all of which are given by student members of the club, who do their own research for these probing discussions. The club also gives students a great opportunity to use extensively certain apparatus which they would not have the time to use during classes. These discussions, demon- strations and occasional field trips greatly broaden the scope of science for young fresh- men and sophomores. 107 Left to right. Row I. A. Seigel, S. Wyman, M. Taylor, H.

THIS year as in years past, the Footlight Club has thrilled and amused the student body and faculty of Hempstead High with their stirring and hilarious performances. Who will ever forget how our sides ached with laughter from their first appearance on the boards with the production of 'Shakespeare — Why Not? That performance showed many dubious students that the “bard was a comed- ian to be reckoned with. This performance in the fell was followed by one in the spring of the year. This time they chose Thornton Wilder’s play, Our Town. This play, a classic in its own time, was well received by all who saw it. No one who saw either of these two dramatic efforts would say lhat they were in the least bit amateurish. In fact, the audiences felt as if they were being transported from the school’s audi- torium to a theater on the Great White Way. All in all the Footlight Club enjoyed a most success- ful and enjoyable season on the boards.

Hempstead students are fortunate in that a fully equipped music department with highly qualified instructors is at their disposal. This department, headed by Mr. William Strickland, furnishes the opportunity to learn either vocal or instrumental music. The school orchestra which has presented four successful concerts (one in Washington, D. C.) is under the direction of Mr. Strickland. Here the students learn not only to play together but some of the fundamentals of music theory. The choir, under the baton of Miss Joy Peter- son, has enjoyed an equally stimulating year.

Band WITH the beat of the big bass drum and a shrilling fanfare of jubilant trumpets, the Hempstead High School marching band began another successful Bandshow for the fall season with a theme this year appropriately titled “Trumpeters' Holiday. For the first time ever, the band presented its very own con- cert in February. Under the baton of Mr. Albinski, the band per- formed such works as Beethoven's “Adagio Contabile, Palan- ge’s “Campus Bells, and Richard Roger’s “Flower Drum Song.” Two guest artists, William Goleeke and John Bartlett, narrated and played solo tuba respectively in the “Ogden Nash Suite' and “La Carnival de Venice and collaborated in George Klein- singer’s Tubby the Tuba, the hit of the evening. The new Scottish drums make their debut in the Bandshow. ■ TAT - Rat - Ra - Tat - Tat —, and here they come! The marching band and a hundred lovely girls are the backbone of the outstanding Hempstead High School Bandshow. Annually put on by the Music Department, it holds its place among the finest shows in the country.

While the band played the “March of the Wooden Soldiers,” over one hundred girls did a unique routine of toy soldiers. The final ring of this three-ring circus was an exciting twirling routine performed by our own “Pinky” Danforth, exhibition twirler. Another attraction was a soft-shoe dance per- formed by the Drum Majorettes and High Step- pers. If you’re not out of breath yet, just sit tight. After the twirling routine, which was a feat within itself, the girls went into formation for the flag routine. The rustling of brilliant red, white, and blue flags is enough to send chills up and down anyone’s spine. All the while this was going on, the band was going through its own unique tasks.

Both of these intricate formations took a great deal of practice to which any band member will attest. But, the most important role of the band was that of providing music. Among the numbers played were: “The Toy Trumpet,” “The March of the Wooden Soldiers,” “Everything’s Cornin’ Up Roses,” and the “Soft-Shoe. The main highlight of the show is the kick-line. Over one hundred girls “show their stuff in this final performance of skill and precision. The accompaniment was “Everything’s Cornin’ Up Roses. This was one of the first years in which the music was of a popular nature which made the show thoroughly refreshing. The finale was the singing of our “Alma Mater” which made this one of our finest shows, a truly memorable and impressive event. Thus, the best of luck is wished to all future bandshows so that their performance may equal or possibly surpass those of the past. WHITES Left to right. Row I. M. Hills, E. Gardner, F. Wilson, J.

A leader, according to this same source, is a person who directs or guides. A Hempstead High School cherleader per- forms the above functions and much more. At home basketball and football games she ap- plauds the victories and goals of our team. She enlivens us when there is a lull in the game ac- tion and guides the team to many victories. With Miss Dorwin's proficient direction and the assistance of the captain, Carol Jones, and co-captain, Dale Iguera, our cheerleaders have worked out many exciting novel cheers. These cheers have served a double purpose. To par- ticipate in the cheers has been fun and our par- ticipation has supported our team. The varsity cheerleaders, in addition to cheer- ing at all home games, accompany the basket- ball and football teams to all away games. left to right, Row I: G. Garcia, P. McGinnis, C. Jones, S.

They roared past six straight opponents before losing a heartbreaker to Lawrence, but bounded back strongly once again to wallop Mapham in the last game of the season, finishing with a 7-1 record in a tie with Freeport and Lawrence for the Double-A Conference championship. In the opening game of the season, the Tigers avenged last season's loss to Chaminade with a 21-14 victory. In the next game East Meadow became our second victim.

Our boys went on to a glorious victory by another three-touch- down margin. Uniondale and Baldwin fell victim to the “Tigers”, and Hempstead was well on its way to an excellent season. In our next encounter, Lawrence met Hemp- stead on the Hempstead field, and at the end of the game the score stood: Lawrence 20, Hempstead 7. In the last game against Mepham, the “Tigers” were once more victorious. “Nice going, John. soys Mr. Schuessler. Varsity Basketball Joe Blocker mokes o bosket.

Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Mills, they turned in a very commendable 13-4 regular season record. With Joe Blocker, the captain, leading in points scored and Ronnie Ayes, the team's major playmaker, this record was made possible. No two men, however, ever made up a basketball team. Richie Lattimer, Lenny Moore, Kenny Bur- well, and Ed Plawski, just to mention a few men, were very instrumental in the excitement brought about by the playing of our fine team this year. Our opponents found that we had a tremen- dous defense to go along with our excellent of- fense. The defense held many a high-scoring team to relatively few points. This can be attrib- uted to the hard work put in by both Mr. Mills and every member of the squad. Our 13-4 record was good enough to put us in the playoff games leading to what we hoped would be a regional first place. The first two play-off games showed off Hempstead’s excellent basketball playing abili- ties; we defeated Oyster Bay in the first by a score of 57-50 and Lynbrook in the second, 15- 40. We went into the semi-finals against a team that had twice before beaten us. In an overtime game that had all of us on the edge of our seats the whole game through, Oceanside just nudged Hempstead out, 67-66. We are looking to the juniors on this year’s team to bring us home a first place trophy next year. Left to right. Row I. K. Stein, D. Jacobs. Row II. I. Moore, B. Shellard, J. Blocker, J. Grant, K.

EARLY this spring, the boys’ athletic field was filled with baseball enthusiasts who desired to play this exciting game. Each day, boys were seen practicing after school: batting baseballs; pitching; catching; playing different positions such as first, second, or third basemen, out- fielder, and shortstop; and umpiring the game. But no boy begins to enjoy this arousing sport without learning the rules of this game, and without this important knowledge, a game will be played incorrectly. To inspire them, these athletic-minded boys were very fortunate to have Mr. John Mills as their baseball coach. Left to right S. Szumigala, A. Mednick, Mr. Mortone, C. McGee. L. Kaufer. Left to right: A. Hertig, J. Blocker. E. Plowski, R. McElrath. Having had much experience in the different as- pects of baseball, Mr. Mills expertly guided the boys into playing a fine game. Not only did he teach them the right methods of playing base- ball, but also he taught them a variety of tech- niques in batting, throwing, and catching. In playing a good game of baseball, ability is a factor, but not the determining factor, which is good sportsmanship. Hempstead High School is proud of the team, as they have displayed both these talents in playing basebal. Baseball Left to right. Row I: B. Mednick, I. Kaufer, J. luniewski, E. Plawski, C. McGee, J.

The mid- field is made up of Ted Hengstenberg, Bill Fedo- wich, and Lou Huskins. Then there is the attack, with Alan Lowe, Pete DeRiesthal, and John Pa- tane. The team began practice in late February, and at the end of the season there were two wins and ten defeats. Although the Tigers did not have a very good season, the outlook for next year is excelent, with the return of many good players, the welcoming sight of new play- ers, and the new equipment that is expected. LACROSSE is still one of the popular sports that is enjoyed by the many boys of Hemp- stead High School. With the team under the ex- celent direction of their new coach, Mr. Ollie Mills, the players learn everything there is to learn about the game, including good sports- manship. There are approximately forty members on the team, with Jim Dantis as their captain. In Lacrosse Left to right W. Fedowich, K. Sheh, A. Lowe, J. Potone. Left to right. Row I C. Schmidt, S. Katz, R.

Last year the track team was very successful with Wilbur Brown taking the sprints; Walter Hoskins, second and Buddy West, third. The hurdles were Claude Baber in winning form; Willie Brown, second, and Art Honan doing his best, until a J.V. hurdler named David Bythe- wood surprised everyone. The 880 really had a winning streak with Walter Hoskins, Jim Hayden, Buddy West, and Joe Blocker. Richard Lattimer took the pole vault at 12'6”, and George Truick- io swept the broad jump and hop, step, and jump. Paul Hartman and Russell Geren took care of the 440 while Bill Irwin did his bit in the 880. Butch Williams dusted the mile, while Dickie Coleman won the high jump. The medley relay took its parts with Gerald Vance, Ronald Samp- son, Helge Velde, and Roland Gerber. Dave Hartman, and John Hunter put the shot put, and Willie Brown whirled the discus. This year the team is again looking forward to a successful season under the able direction of its coach, Mr. Paul Krause. William Irwin passes the baton to Kenny Schneider as Mr. Krause watches.

Rifle Team AS strange as it may seem, very few of us have seen the Rifle Team in action. In fact we only see them together at the pep rally. The reason for this is actually quite simple. During a match silence is required. It is easy to understand then why we hear the results of these matches over the home room notices. The team’s coach, Mr. Voorhies, also informs us that the uninitiated would find a rifle match rather boring since the targets are too far away to be seen with ease. Since this is the case, we can do nothing more than to keep our fingers crossed for their continued success. THIS year, our Boys’ Bowling Team has brought much fame to Hempstead High School due to the expert instruction of Mr. Williams. The boys set and broke new records during their prosper- ous season by having three games of 1,000 pins. Two of these games occured in the same match. Another outstanding accomplishment was a three-game series of 2,945 pins which es4ab!ished a new league record. The team then clinched first place in their section of the South Shore Athletic League. To complete their long string of wins, the boys won the S.S.A.L. tournament. Each member of the bowling team was awarded a trophy for his fine performance during the season. Bowling Left to right.

IN true Tiger tradition the soccer team in its rookie season came forth undefeated. The team won eight of its nine games and tied the remaining one. The boys went through the entire season without an injury due, to a great extent, to the excellent conditioning of the players. Under Mr. Just’s tutelage, Albert Shaw developed into a fine goalie as evidenced by the fact that only eight goals were scored against him. But a goalie alone cannot win soccer games. The entire team with high-scorer Helge Velde contributed to the team s vic- tories. The referees commented on our excellent offense and defense and on the aggressiveness of our team. Our hats are off to Mr. Just and his team. We wish you continued luck in your forthcoming season. A , Row I: H. Gross, E. 1 Left to right Watola, R. Koerner, I. Petryha, E. Stergakos, R. Popish, J.

ScKcer Wrestling ANEW addition this year to the Hempstead High School winter athletic program was wrestling. This is the second time that this sport has been organized at Hempstead. Under the watchful eye and guidance of their coach, Mr. Just, the boys enjoyed a successful season with a 7-2 record. Such outstanding members as John Harris, George Nicholopoulos, Roy Rubin, and Andy Szeglin brought many a victory to Hempstead. The team wrestled J. V. this year, but it was recognized as a varsity sport at school. This team of energetic wrestlers has indeed brought much success to Hempstead High. Next year, with the return of many of the boys, another successful season looks inevitable. Left to right. Row W. Jones, J. Harris, G. Harris, L. Cheets. Row II W. Fephillips, R. Mc- Gee, C.

That is sure to be the tennis team with its fine coach, Mr. Menza. Owing to inexperience, this year’s tennis team was not overly- successful. The only two boys who were on last year’s team were Ralph Doliner and Pete Harley. Both were substitutes. Ralph Doliner played first singles and Pete Harley played second singles. At third singles was John Silliman. In the doubles there was a lot of switching. Either Roy Rubin, Ste- phen Mindich, or Alan Azzara played at first singles. At second singles there was either, Eric Petrie, Paul Korn, Stephen Cohen, Alan Azzara, or Roy Rubin. Ken Schifter was substitute. A GOLF club, a golf ball, and readiness to learn are the tools and necessary requirements of this sport. Having these tools is an excellent beginning for learning how to play golf well. But to supplement this learning one must have the guidance of a skillful and apt player of golf, namely, Mr. Faust. Mr. Faust has made it possible for many students who play golf, or who desire to learn to play golf, enoy the sport. Under his excellent guidance the golf team has acquired much competence in playing better golf. Displaying their skills, the Ben Hogans and Sam Sneads of Hemp- stead High School have enjoyed a successful year. Golf Left to right. Row I: P. Pangretic, D. Kufe, R. Balter, H. Goldberg. Row II: R.

Football team is no exception to that rule. However the J.V. Football team serves a very useful function in that it supplies the varsity team with new players as the seniors grad- uate. Therefore it must not be forgotten that the J.V. team is just as important as the Varsity team, since the J.V. team serves as a store- J. V. Football house of new and vital energy. Thanks to the fine participation and sportsmanship of the members of the team, ihere was not only a successful season for the J.V. this year, but a successful varsity season has been insured for next year. J. V. Basketball THIS year’s J. V. basketball team established itself as a ball club that will bear much watching next year when the boys step into the shoes of the outstanding graduating varsity performers. The combined efforts of the starting team consisting of Eugene Harley, Ron Moffitt, Khafre Deans, Jerry Hall, and Stu Mattson, aided by their fellow teammates, resulted in a satisfactory season consist- ing of 1 1 wins and 6 losses. In the future, this new combination will inspire enthusiasm not only on the team’s part, but on that of the entire school. Mr. Paul Krause deserves much of the credit for the performance of his team of which we are proud. Left to right. Row . R. Smith, E. Sheldon, E. West, K. Deons, H. Matthew, E. Harley, J. Floyd.

In this way the freshman can learn the rudiments and finer points of football, without being hidden by an upper classman. It is also an opportunity for the various coaches to line up seme new team members for the coming year. One of the reasons for our hav- ing a successful football season year after year is the fact that we have such an excellent training program for our players. Much credit should be given to these boys who are willing to plug without credit so that one day Hempstead High will be victorious on the football field. Left to right. Row I. B. Brinkley, D.

MODERN dancing is the inter- pellation of ideas of all types and kinds through the me- dium of many movements. Every Wednesday afternoon during the 9th period, senior girls assemble to work on dance tech- niques and to create original dances. They work together to achieve an effective and expres- sive performance in the Greek Games, where modern dance plays an important part. This year's Senior Modern Dance Club is under the super- vision of Miss Kirschman. THE Junior Modern Dance Club, under the capable leadership of Miss Kirschman, meets every Monday afternoon during 9th period. The girls employ modern danc- ing techniques while practicing some fundamental exercises in keeping trim. They consist of leaps, bounds, steps, and inclinations of the body, all the movements being executed with a care designed to make them artistic. The members look forward to being in next year’s Senior Mod- ern Dance Club. p Left to right. Row I: P. McGinnis, B. Mott, Mrs. Reicher, A. Brondes, B. Brinkley. Row II: T. Hoffman, V. Sheh, V.

EVERY year the Girls’ Physical Education Department chooses a number of dependable girls as Sports Leaders. These girls are se- lected on the basis of their skill and leadership qualities in a par- ticular sport.

Excellent filmstrips are shown which expertly illustrate the techniques of the game. Badminton offers a Left to right. Row I: Miss Burton, L. Doscher. Row II B. Harris, M. Mugno. B. Green, K.

Badminton Junior Basketball AS everyone knows, girls as well as boys love to play basketball. Unfortunately the boys always get more publicity than the girls. In spite of that, the girls in the basketball club have man- aged to find real enjoyment in this sport all win- ter long. At that time, they not only practiced their techniques, but they also learned the rules and acquired much information on the sport. All in all, the girls had a let of fun while learning more about the great “sport of giants.” Left to right: B. Jackson, D. Winslow, T. Hoffman, Mrs. Reicher, L. Hamlin, V. Carter, S. Berman.

After practicing, the members of this club participated in a tournament. For some reason there was no interest this year in ping pong and consequently there was no ping pong club. There was, however, a very good turnout for the volleyball club. Interested participants meet on Friday afternoons. Softball AMONG the more popular girls’ sports at Hempstead High School is softball. During the spring you can find the girls practicing on the girls' athletic field. The action and excitement that takes place at their games are the equivalent of any major league anywhere. With the able assistance of the advisor, Miss Burton, Hempstead High School’s new addition to the Physical Education Department, and the student leader. Sue Gold, these girls have learned fair play and good sportmanship besides the rules of the game. Bowling BOWLING is fast becoming one of America’s favorite sports. The girls of Hempstead High were not at all slow in picking up this highly popular sport. Every Thursday last fall a group of eager girls could be seen heading for the ten pins and alleys. Although some of the girls in the club knew only the barest rudi- ments of bowling, even the seasoned bowlers had to admit that each and every one of them improved. Their improvement showed up not only in better scores but also in a fuller knowledge of the game. For example, each girl learned how to keep score. All in all. Girls Bowl- ing proved to be an extremely worthwhile, as well as enjoyable, ex- perience for all concerned. 137 Greek Games Modern Dancers present their perform- ance of Greek Gomes. Priestess: Liso Horwitz. Narrotors: Rhona Mednick and Nancy Birnbaum. Joanne Colgan and Betty Harris run in the torch race. Athenian exhibition horses: Carol Jones, Joan Finkenstodt, Christine Lukasiewicz, Leslie Singer. Charioteer: Marie Martin. The Glee Club entertains the audience with their song praising Pluto. Vicki Sheh hurls the discus while her team looks on. THE 1960 Greek Games celebrated the 25th anni- versary of the event at Hempstead High. The Games were dedicated to Pluto, god of the under- world, with Liz Regan doing a fine job as Student Chairman. The boys’ gym looked very impressive with the vivid reds, greens, golds, and purples of the girls’ tunics, along with the lovely pastel shades worn by the Girls’ Glee Club. The Spartans won most of the hoop and torch races both nights, but the Athenians made up for this in other events. The many months of tiring practices and sore muscles came to an end on these eventful nights which will always be remembered by spectators and participants alike. Thanks to the expert guid- ance of Mrs. Reicher and Miss Adolph, this produc- tion was again a huge success. Margaret Herlitschek goes over the hurdles. Spartan exhibition horses: Suson Gladding, Leslie Kruty, Evelyn Goldblatt, Vivian Beckett. Charioteer: Alvenia Bryant.

Honor Assembly EVERY year at the beginning of school, the administration puts on an honor assembly. This year the awards and honors won by Hemp- stead High School students were presented to the respective winners by Doctor Sheldon and Mr. Flax. On hand to do the introducing of Doctor Sheldon and Mr. Flax and also to say a few words were the honor club presidents. Dr. Sheldon, after being introduced by the Pentagon president, stated in a short speech that he was proud and happy to know that Hempstead High students had so distinguished themselves. He congratulated all the recipients of prizes and awards and then proceeded to hand them out. Some of the outstanding awards were the Phi Betta Kappa award won by Karen Balacek and Regents honors given to Albert Shaw and Richard Oriss. Present to observe all the proceedings was the new freshman class. Here in the honor assembly, the students who have excelled in scholastic ability are also hon- ored as are those who have done well in the athletic field. 144 145 ALFRED M.

Show THE lights dimmed, then flickered out and a sweeping silence enshrouded the crowd. A solitary light radiated its cold beam onto the stage. “Mike Talent, where's Mike Talent? The show had begun. More wonderous than the ris- ing of the sun, more thrilling than a good mys- tery, this show unveiled the multitude of talent that is present in this small universe, our school. Instantaneously, we were conveyed to the office of Mike Talent, a Broadway talent scout, where ‘tryouts' were taking place. Everyone thrust himself forward so as not to miss a syllable of the fine comedy of Richard Erodenko and Richard Kotlarz. In the way of precision dancing, the Top Hat Girls kicked up a storm; the Honey Bun Dancers, featuring John Sullivan as Honey Bun, laughed up a storm as Honey Bun wiggled her’’ way around the stage. The awe-inspiring twirling of our New York State champion, Pinky Danforth, led us to the gates of Heaven where the celestial lull- aby of Sarah Lawrence's harp rolled up to our ears. The only way to describe the music of the Four Chords and Frank's Four, is to describe the reaction of the audience. The auditorium be- came alive; it swayed and it jumped and people tried to dance while they were sitting down. Just how marvelous can a band get? If Broadway were ever showered with talent like this, every play would be a hit! 146 Mirschel-Hempstead Lumber Yard OPERATED BY HERBERT MIRSCHEL, Inc.

RICHARDS Perspective THIS year has really been a great one for the students with literary yearnings. After an ab- sence of several years, Hempstead High once more has a literary publication. The success of the magazine was assured when, as Hemp- stead's students realized they had on outlet for their literary efforts, manuscripts poured in for evaluation and perhaps publication. Most preva- lent of all was poetry; poems were so numerous that the staff sent out an S.O.S. for prose — more essays and short stories. The magazine was organized in December under Miss Newlon's able direction. After sev- eral organizational meetings the various staffs were chosen, the editor picked, and a name decided upon for the publication. Some of the staffs that were appointed were the ones for the evaluation of poetry and essays and an art staff for illustrations. James Corwin, a senior, was chosen as editor and the name Perspective for the magazine. Perspective covers a wide variety of student effort. There are poems, editorials, essays, and short stories. The magazine is one of which Hempstead can be justifiably proud. Practically everything about it was a student effort — writ- ing, art work, publication, and evaluation. Pers- pective is truly something representative of the students at Hempstead High. 148 Compliments of The Second National Bank l Trust Co. of Hempstead, N. Y.

Science Demonstration ONE of the most interesting lecture-demon- strations this school year was the one put on by the Senior Science Club. Laurin Raiken and Susan Graves, co-workers at Waldeman Medical Research Foundation, demonstrated cancer and medical research techniques. First they gave a short talk on the history and found- ing of the Foundation. The first thing to be demonstrated was para- biosis, opening the peritoneal sac and joining it to that of another mouse. All the demonstrations were performed on live mice. Another technique to be shown was the method of injection into a mouse. Two types were shown, subcutanious and interperitonious and interperitoneal. To facilitate the other operations they used an anesthetic as the material to be injected into the mice. All the operations on the mice were done with as sterile an environment as possible. The final and most interesting demonstration was the transplantation of cancerous material from one mouse to another. The cancerous mate- rial, a malignant carcinoma, was injected under the skin of the animal with a special instrument. This demonstration amply showed how and what is being done in modern medical research to find a cure for cancer and some of the tech- niques used in conjunction with it. 150 Distinguished Faculty Guidance Placement Service BERKELEY SCHOOL SECRETARIAL 420 LtilngUn Ave. New York 17, N.Y.

Who breaks open all those accidentally locked “safes, our lockers and keeps the gum wrappers from piling up too high? To these queries and others of a similar nature, the answer must be, the cus- todians. Without them to keep Hempstead High as clean as it is, seven hours of work and study in school would be pretty frightful. Many of us don't realize what a job it is to keep a school the size of ours clean. We often don't realize how just the one piece of paper each one of us drops accumulates. So to do our part, let's pick up the paper and throw it in a waste receptacle, rather than on the floor. If each of us did his or her part the custodians would have more time to spend on more impor- tant jobs. Nevertheless, in spite of all the trouble we cause, our school custodians do a wonderful job of keeping our school clean, warm, and pleasant. We all owe them a vote of thanks for their labors on our behalf.

Anna came to live with the Becketts while Vivian went to Solo- thurn, Switzerland to live in Anna's home. This was done on a private basis, something usually not done in foreign exchange. While here in Hempstead, Anna does every- thing we do as students. She takes the same school courses we do and goes on the club out- ings and to the school games. Besides this she takes part in our musical program by playing flute in the band. One thing Anna has done that few of us have done, is to see a great deal of North America. She spent the summer touring Mexico via the At- lantic seaboard and the South. After this sojourn south of the Border, she got up north into Maine. In the few months with us, Anna has seen much of how America lives. U. S. teenagers are, in Anna's opinion, friendly and “comfortable. She likes the way we dress, except for the girls' short skirts. She also likes school here better, because here, a teacher is closer to the student and is more understanding. Anna will take home many things; a Hemp- stead sweatshirt, clothes, souvenirs of her travels, but most important of all are the wonderful memories, the new friends, and new experiences that make this the greatest experience in my life. 154 Compliments of 5°HackI . . .

Cafeteria Squad THE one group in our school, many people feel is the most important is the Cafeteria Squad. It is this able group of culinary artists, under Mr. Tobani’s guidance, who produce the sandwiches, soups, cakes, chow mein, spaghetti, juices, and vegetables that grace our cafeteria tables at lunch time. The first thing in the preparation of a school lunch is picking out a menu. Next the proper preparation of the food is worked out. To do all this requires eight persons who arrive at school long before lunch time and spend the morning in preparing lunch. Every school day we arrive in the cafeteria to find everything from fruit to candy ready for con- sumption. We all must thank Mr. Tobani and his efficient squad for keeping the students of Hemp- stead High happy and well fed.

FRANKIN STREET HEMPSTEAD, N. Y. Napoleon Revels, Technician Herb Shriner, Billy Cosgriff and Kothy Grimaldi look over music score. Herb Shriner THE Bandbox, of all sections of the school, would be the last section to be visited by a television comedian; yet on October 5, 1960 one of America's favorite and most indigenous hu- morists, accompanied by an equally famous Hun- garian composer, were visitors. No matter how unexpected. Herb Shriner, whose gentle Ameri- can humor is known to millions of television viewers, and noted composer, Tibor Serly, were guests of the music department. Mr. Shriner has been touring the country giv- ing concerts interspersed with his droll humor. Mr. Serly has written much of the music for these concerts and various orchestras have enjoyed the privilege of playing some of this music. When the opportunity of trying a new score appeared, Mr. Serly, who has had a longstanding interest in Hempstead High School, decided to give the orchestra the chance. The music itself was a short piece designed to display all the instruments in the orchestra and their various combinations. It began with a short orchestral prelude. After a brief dialogue by Mr. Shriner, the oboe was introduced by an ordinary scale which ended with a tumbling deluge of ar- peggios. All the instruments were similarly de- monstrated. This charming mixture of music and Hoosier humor provided a delightful afternoon for the music department. 158 ERNEST D. MARSHALL CARVEL STORE Nassau Road and Roosevelt Avenue 80 NO.

Wednesday Assembly THIS year has seen a great many new things in school but one of the most outstanding is the Wednesday assembly. Every Wednesday, two assemblies are held during the second pe- riod so that all the students may attend. The pro- grams for these weekly assemblies are put on by the different departments or are special ones. The students see plays, concerts, and demonstrations that they might not otherwise see. The assemblies also give Dr. Sheldon a chance to talk to the student body. Some of these Wednesday assemblies have been extremely interesting. One of these was the harp and organ recital. The student body was given a varied selection of fine music pieces. These included Greensleeves, a Dutch lullaby, and a Spanish dance. Another excellent program was the one put on by the science department. A representative from the Linde division of Union Carbide demonstrated the properties of matter after being subjected to intense cold. He used liquid nitrogen to get the extreme temperatures (liquid nitrogen boils at —320 F.). He froze a rose so that it shattered when he struck it and used a banana for a hammer after freezing it. These and other programs have done much to achieve a closer-knit student body and to further the students' knowledge. 160 IVonhoe 3-8515 Keren Dickenson welcomes frosh girls to the Senior-Frosh porty. Senior-Frosh Day THIS one day in October is the Senior girls’ chance to introduce the freshmen girls to high school life. For Senior-Frosh Day the senior girls dress to the hilt; heels, dresses, and stuffed animals complete their outfits. To do their part in the proceedings the Frosh girls come dressed as babies in bibs, with bottles, wearing bonnets, and having the added privilege of handing out lollipops to each senior girl who asks for one. It isn't long before nearly everyone in school has a lollipop. The frosh girls are so generous! After a day of this, the girls are pretty weary, so to pep up their spirits a program of enter- tainment is given for the frosh and senior girls in the boys’ gym. Cathy Scimeca welcomed the babies with her version of ’’I’ve Grown Accus- tomed to Your Face, Sara Donady kept up a line of patter in her job as M.C. and a skit was put on by Judy Arnold, Louise Geller, and Irene Williams spoofing old-fashioned soap operas. Next came the judging for the prettiest hair, prettiest smile, most typical, most original, cos- tume, and cutest. After this came dancing to the music of Frank Catalano's Band. All in all it was quite a day! It's a good thing it comes but once a year! WILLIAM URQUHART, JR. Real Estate Broker 53 GROVE STREET HEMPSTEAD, N. Y. MARDEL’S Ethical Pharmacy - Clinical Laboratory B.

For you, a yearbook means memories. Throughout your life it will help you recall old friends and relive the good times of your student days. And for your publishers, too, a yearbook means something special. As former members of yearbook staffs, we bring to our professional duties a deep personal interest in the goals of a yearbook editor, as well as a real under- standing of his many problems. To this we add more than a quarter-century of experience publishing many scores of school and college yearbooks. But what we offer you is more than balanced by what you give to us—the happiness of sharing in student projects, the delight of finding each year new and younger friends.
