Rusch The New My congratulations to all Seniors on graduating in this year 1968. You have come to the end of a phase in life that I hope has been a most rewarding one. The “young years” may be remembered as the “best years” as you move through the rest of this Century. Your education at Hicksville High School has only been the opening to a way of life. The oppor- tunities for employment, service to mankind, and for happiness are never ending in our society today. The first problem confronting many of you now is how to fit into this vast place called “the out- side”. My message to each of you would be this “set your goals—keep moving—and never quit.” If you have a clear idea of your capability and are realistic about your objectives you can afford to dream about the future. May I wish you the best of fortune and the success you deserve. HHS Assistant Principals; Mr. James Jones. Mr. Chester Jaworkski, Mr. Lawrence Olvany, Mr. William Feigin. Administration Finished Up Their Second Term in Office Mr. Feigin was always busy getting things done for the school; even at the end of a long day, he had items to check. Mr. Jones, who was actually our contact with the administration, did his job well. Mr. Jaworski. well-known to the Senior class, was always an excellent example of good school spirit. Mr. Olvany spent most of his time dealing with student’s problems. Mr. Feigin and Mr. Jaworski still found time to compare notes. language arts Mr. John Kearns: Department Head Mr. Gerald Stanley: FMA, Particle Mr. Basil Palmieri Mr. Tom Bannon Miss Sandra Sumrall Mr. Nataniel Alterman Mrs. Barbara Baumstein Mr. Michael Breheny Miss Anne Christiano: Ski Club Mr. George Higginson Mr. Neil O'Doherty � ir Miss Constance Edsall Mrs. Linda Luftig K , KD- l|OW f r , Mi � K Af nd Mi [ 11 .

These are supplemented by academic courses in math, science, social studies, and English. Show tickets, posters, programs, the school newspapers, and the Particle flow from the presses of Mr. Adams’ Print Shop. The boys do everything from type-setting to modifying the van dykes. While the district profits from these announcements, the boys get a sound back- ground in the field. Actual jobs provide experience for the boys in Auto Shop. Besides working on faculty cars or other available vehicles, many boys are em- ployed at local filling stations. Buzzing saws identify room 172, where the skills of carpentry are taught. The special proj- ect this year was boat-building under the super- vision of Mr. Docarelo. Home and commercial building designing and drafting are covered in Architectural Drafting. Upon successful completion of the course, stu- dents are qualified to be tracers, detailers, or draftsmen. The girls take over in Beauty Culture. They must complete 1000 hours in physiology, hygiene, hair-cutting and coloring, and facials. Mannequins are usually the testing ground for new hairstyling techniques, but often the willing head of a faculty member or student is used. An operator’s license is issued to those who pass the State Board exams. Girls also participate in Occupational Nursing, which allows them to work at nearby hospitals. They also serve as Nurse’s Assistants in the school health office. Carol Gonzalez, an adept Beauty Culture student practiced setting a model’s hair. In Print Shop, a student was busy setting type. An integral part of the activity in the Auto Shop was knowing the parts of a motor. Here, a future mechanic adjusted a carburetor. Bizarre appliances such as this face messager were used in Beauty Culture classes throughout the year. “I think that I shall never see. a motor lovier than thee. A skilled Carpentry Shop man carefully drilled a dowel hole in a block of wood. In Beauty Culture, an emphasis was put on style. Here, a student applied nail polish as she refined her skill in the art of conversation. Here we see a student very in- volved in drilling a hole through his hand. Peggy Sullivan applied herself to the job at hand. I J Two boys adjusted an automobile carburetor. John Tritto and Steve Barrett used their skill with an oxyacetylene torch. In the inner office of the famous Hicksville Print Shop. Arthur Woods carefully adjusted an automatic offset press. classes required such operations as removal of In our carpentry shop a student busily measured lengths of wood and made certain a perfect fit. An unknown student demonstrated how to misuse a ham- mer and chisel. 59 Grinding metals down to specifica- tion could be fun if you were watch- ing. The tensions of an actor awaiting his cue and of a crucial moment in a basketball game are part of the excitement after classes end activities Pep Rallies and Dances Lead Off More dazzling than the trophy was Homecoming Queen Carol Gonzalez, posing here with the President of the Alumni Association and Mr. Rush. A pep rally on an Indian summer afternoon kicked off this year's football season. Bashful at first, the crowd was soon roaring with its usual enthusiasm. Two comic switches delighted the crowd. A group of fraternity brothers gave their impressions of our cheerleaders; the girls got in their licks by dressing up in football uniforms and imitating the boys' warm-ups. The October 21 game hosted Hicksville’s Home- coming celebration. Carol Gonzalez reigned as queen and was attended by runners-up Gail Trouton and Barbara Haggerty. These three girls had won the highest number of votes in balloting by the senior class. Students packed the gym on November 17 for a second pep rally. Black and orange balloons bobbed in the bleachers as Mr. Paisner, Coach Grantham and star halfback Dwight Erich thanked the fans for their support. The frat brothers rose to the occasion with a zany takeoff on the March- ing Band. Not to be outdone, the Varsity and JV cheerleaders countered with a rousing Hicksville cheer. The season’s victories were celebrated in tra- ditional style at the Victory Dance. The lively tempo of the “Mad Hatters’’ matched the mood set by the decorations and the excitement of the crowd. Competition for the Marching Band? This unorthodox consort of instruments and the obvious enthusiasm of the musicmakers delighted the crowd. the New Year The inexhaustible spirit of Mr. Paisner infected everyone within earshot Mr. Feigm proudly accepted the Division I cham- pionship trophy from Coach Umbria. This attractive lineup couldn't help but arouse the team. Class Elections Eagerly Team Action” was the slogan for this year's senior class elections. The team of Chet Schnepf and Andy La Grega captured the presidency and vice presidency in a close contest. Patti Schwartz was elected to the office of secretary for a second year, and Britton Lindquist was chosen senior treasurer. This year the election speeches were delivered at the newly initiated senior orientation, a move that assured a large audience. There the presi- dential candidates told their classmates about their ideas for making this a fantastic” senior year. A substantial number of write-in votes also influenced the elections. Although no write-in candidates were successful, they diverted a large proportion of the votes by stealing votes from the major candidates. The class of ’69, keeping in mind such re- sponsibilities as the SJS Mixer, Junior Prom, and class rings, elected the people they thought could best handle these obligations. Those elected were: Linda Burnette, president: Neil Zanville, vice- president; Paulette Florio, secretary: and Pat Kiernan, treasurer. In the sophomore class race, Dave Satran won the presidency. Sue Morris the vice presidency, JoAnn Staffieri, secretary, and Randy Fell, the office of treasurer. Although unfamiliar with the school procedures the sophomores apparently enjoyed the campaign. Their officers did an outstanding job in organizing a lively and suc- cessful Sophomore Hop, their first major class event. Chet Schnep managed another successful assault on the class presidency. i Contested Wil i yJy ') fviOt Junior Class officers—Pat Kiernen. Linda Burnett.

Sue Morris and JoAnn Staffieri had good reason to smile. Their Soph Hop was the most successful in years. Sophomores had varied reactions to this business of Orientation. jt Right from the Start Armed with student handbooks, the class of '70 filled the Boys’ Gym for Sophomore Orienta- tion. There Mr. Rusch welcomed them to three years at HHS. Mr. Jones informed them of school formalities. Bob Gottlieb discussed the Student Court and Andi Director explained the mysteries of Student Activity Tickets and the Innash Dance. With a hearty “Good Luck” and the friendly assis- tance of Miss Daly the Sophomores were officially launched on their high school careers. Their first class event was the Sophomore Hop. The theme this year was borrowed from Washing- ton Irving s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, but the music by the Other Culture kept everyone wide awake. Hay and pumpkins strewn about the gym evoked just the right atmosphere. While there were no Headless Horsemen, there were plenty of footloose sophomores enjoying themselves immensely. Gail Pollina. Interim President of the ASC introduced Mr. Jones to the uninitiated. Sophomore creativity converted the everyday Old Girls' Gym into the eerie atmosphere of Sleepy Hollow. Juniors Took a Tahitian Under the deft hand of Marion Geisenfeld. pineapples were decapitated. The last of the gaily colored crepe paper was hoisted to the ceiling by John Fundus. — Beneath swaying palms and surrounded by pineapples, the junior class spent a Tahitian evening at the Prom. Local talent proved as successful as profes- sional entertainment. Loni Ludwig and Peter Mc- Entee performed a folk song, and Lee Ann Ru- bino. Gail Greenstein. and Paul Jacobs each sang popular numbers. Amy Brill delighted the audi- ence by stylishly dancing to “The Stripper.” As always, the highlight of the evening was the coro- nation of the Queen of the Prom and her ladies- in-waiting. This year, lovely Maureen McAllister happily ascended the throne. For many the Prom continued outside of the high school when cou- ples drove off to restaurants on Long Island. Even after it was all over, in the incoherent wee hours of the morning, everyone realized that they had had an enchanting evening. Faye Metnich created a balmy South Sea backdrop for the Picture Parlor. Petra Amoroso and Marty Kline paused to watch volcanos and native girls emerge on the wall. Holiday” Maureen McAllister’s disbelief blossomed into radiance when she was crowned queen. Gail Greenstein sang of a young man’s search for love.

Loni Ludwig and Pete McEntee entertained with a folksong. 69 History Punctured Washii Every senior trip is unique, yet no other trip in the history of HHS came so close to being cancelled on its very first day. Although riots plagued Washington, students still managed to enjoy themselves in the HHS tradition. Seniors mobbed the Hicksville RR Station at 6 A.M.. anxiously waiting to board the train which would whisk them off to Baltimore. Four hours later the boys were already de- vouring the box lunches. At their arrival in Baltimore, the seniors fought for seats on buses that took them for a grand tour of the city. Each bus became a happy family in itself. Bus 1. driven by none other than that great comedian Harry, was beloved by all the Munchkins. (the name taken of course from their fearless leader Mr. Munch). Mr. Munch held the record for uncovering and smashing more water pistols than any other chaperone. The first stop in Washington was the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Here girls drooled over mountains of $20 bills and wept as rejected bills were thrown out. The next stop was the Washington Monument where a storm seemed to be brewing. The wind whipped at skirts and jackets while the students awaited the elevator that took them to the top. The few brave souls who attempted the climb nearly collapsed as they crawled the last of the 898 steps. In the F.B.I. building genuine agents led the seniors through the various crime-fighting de- partments. As the onlookers held their ears, an agent demon- strated the use of a pistol and machine gun. Last was the visit to the National Archives where the original Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are on display. Feet aching from their exhausting tour, the students piled into a nearby cafeteria. Trays laden with numerous servings were lifted with great difficulty, but were devoured with no- ticeable ease. Then they were off to the Charter House to change for the moonlight cruise down the Potomac River. Everyone was in high spirits at the dance on board ship and Mr. Jaworsky was one of the favorite partners. That night seniors met up with their first Rat Patrol, sinisterly clad in black windbreakers. Open the door and you were in danger of getting your head blown off. After a sleepless night the girls were serenaded by Mr. Muratore singing over his mega- phone. Good morning to you. Friday it poured. In Williamsburg the girls trudged along in stringy hair and the boys filled their water guns by holding them up to the sky. Armed with their instamatic cameras, students took pictures of ladies in colonial dress and antique furniture. Next day. since all persons were prohibited to enter Washington, plans had to be changed and everyone went on to lovely Mount Vernon. After buying three-cornered hats and other souvenirs, seniors were off to take the group picture. Before they knew it, the buses were whizzing them back to New York. This was the first time the class made the trip back by bus and most people didn't mind a bit. The Munchkins nearly squeezed 20 kids into the back seat while others slept on luggage racks. Some engaged in all out water warfare with pistols that had been smuggled past the chaperones. At last the Seniors pulled up in front of HHS. weary and hoarse and wishing they could do it all over again. Jeri-Gale Cohen investigated Washington’s fabled cherry blossoms. Richard Cottine. Arnold Berger, and Lee Gilbert began the descent from the National Archives. Joe Webb seemed to have a healthy reaction to food on the trip. rton Trip Trio of Jeanne Leszczynski, Stephanie Brooks and Cathy Ter- ranova anticipated the trip in varying degrees. This glimpse on the first day was the closest seniors got to the Capitol. Tired seniors camped on the grass after conquering the Washington Monument. Mary Hemgen amused a friend on the long train ride to Baltimore. Dedicated photographer as well as chap- erone. Mr. Muratore took a light meter reading. Guides dressed in authentic colonial garb helped seniors recapture the spirit of the times. Intricate patterns of flowers and shrubs grace the gardens The Governor’s Palace still preserves its colonial majesty and charm. Fun-seeking gave way to sobered reflection as the news of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King was confirmed. These three little maids from school found the colonial prison just a bit too cramped for their taste. Compared to this. HHS was bliss! A dedicated member of the paint crew applied the finishing touches to a card- board computer. Rich Cottine subdued a momentarily en- raged Jan Sawtelle. Mr. Crucilla gave last minute instructions to cast and crew.

After a weary night of rehearsal crew head Jamie Winnick was discovered “propped against the wall. Seniors gave new life to the zany characters from You Can’t Take It With You. Red Hot Variety Blend of Skits, Song, and Dance Red Hot Variety ’67 The first HHS dramatic presentation opened with the ensemble singing “Once a Year Day.” A Barbershop Quartet especially delighted the audience, transporting them back to the harmony of the 1890's with “My Moustache and “The Sidewalks of New York.” Andrea Director’s beau- tiful performance of “I Loves You, Porgy” was equally entertaining. Go-Go Girls, the Coquettes, and a classical ballet showed off the varied dancing talent of the school. A highlight of the evening was the Charlie Chaplin skit, complete with Amy Brill, Keystone Cops, and flickering lights. A new technique for combining dance and song was introduced in “Mack the Knife” by Mike Zuessman and Paul Jacobs. Stunning special effects enhanced the “Invasion of the Robots.” The entire cast joined to sing “Once a Year Day” fora rousing finale. Mistaking the Man from Uranus for a talent scout, janitor Trudee Garnick went into her act. 76 Two lost souls on the highway of life were Marianne Carine and Peter Lehman. Mark Kramarotf and Art Budich braved audience reaction to dance with Jan Sawtelle and Amy Brill in Le Cygne. 7 Should it be squatthrusts or pushups? Gym teacher Ruth Palmieri pondered this cru- cial question as Andi Direc- tor awaited instructions. Amy Brill and Mike Zeussman caught in a rakish pose from “Mack the Knife. You Can’t Take I'm willing if Grandpa is. This year, for the second time in its history, the Hicksville Sr. class presented a comedy for its senior play. The play, “You Can’t Take it With You”, by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, centers around the meeting and proposed merging, through marriage, of two families, the aristocratic Kirby’s and the unconventional Vanderhof- Sycamore clan. Various sub-plots concern evading the income tax, supposed Communist subversive activities, play-writing, and toe-danc- ing. The result was the most successful comedy Hicksville had yet produced. The actors all gave fine performances. Mike Walsh as Grandpa brought sensitivity and humor to the role, and his daughter Penny Sycamore was beautifully portrayed by Stephanie Schlegel. Robin Solatar managed to make Rheba. the maid, one of the funniest minor parts of the play. The highly realistic set, complete with stuffed deer’s head, added greatly to the play, as did the imaginative and beautiful costumes. The changing of the guard. “You Can’t Take It With You“ was a success in every department. CAST Penny Sycamore .............. Stephanie Schlegel Essie Carmichael ....................

It may not be the Bolshoi, but... Talented Music Students Lenny Albin closed the Tri-M recital with a sparkling concerto by Haydn. Mr. Abt concentrated on rhythm problems for the band concert. Fixing your attention on the inimitable Mr. Arnold relieved much of the nervous tension during a concert. Sue Koscinski and company serenaded arriving students as part of the advertising campaign for the Winter Concert. Musical excitement was generated on stage by the Concert Band. Earn Enthusiastic Praise Soft stillness and the night became the touches of sweet harmony on January 10. 1968. when the Orchestra and Choruses of HHS presented their annual winter concert. Under the direction of Mr. Thomas Buttice. the Orchestra polished off such pieces from the classical repetoire as Gluck’s Iphegnia in Aulis and Beethoven s First Symphony. They also presented a sparkling selection from this years musical. Camelot. The Chorale. Girl’s Chorus, and the Madrigals were all directed by Mr. Charles Arnold. The Chorale sang works ranging from Palestrina to Charles Ives, adapting beautifully to the change in centuries. The Madrigals performed Elizabethan hits in true Renaissance style; they also joined the Chorale for the Echo Song by Orland di Lasso. The mellifluous Girl’s Chorus sang, among other works. The Little Horses, by Aaron Copland. Everyone agreed it was a pleasurable and sig- nificantevening. The Symphony Orchestra played a stirring finale to its winter concert. Their classic appearance enhanced a classic number. The Chorale offered ‘How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place by Brahms as part of its concert program. The Woodwind Ensemble entertained at the Adminis- tration Building with an intimate concert of Christmas selections. Maestro Buttice proved that it wasn’t really impossible to finger that passage It just seemed that way. A study in thought and motion—Mr. Arnold during a rehearsal. Adopted Family, Alumni, Concert Chairman Kathy O’Donnell. Kevin O’Donnell, and Bob Gottlieb pack a carload full of presents for the adopted family. One of the most joyous times at HHS was the day before Christmas vacation. Alumni added to the festive air as they visited former teachers and old friends. Alumni were easily recognizable by their visitor’s cards, their reminiscing air, and their expressions of disbelief on seeing the multicolor paint job. The traditional Senior-Alumni Dance was held during the last two periods. Since seniors were liberated from classes, the Boys’ Gym was filled with large groups of happy, noisy people. Gifts were given to faculty members and the Mad Hatters provided the music. There was little dancing though, because it was really much more fun just to talk. The evening before the Student Council had run a special showing of The Guns of Navarrone. Those who attended this HHS first found it the perfect way to begin the vacation. The ASC also extended holiday goodwill to a needy family which it adopted through the Newsday Adopt-a- Family program. To close the hectic week Tri-M sponsored an Alumni Concert. Alumni pursuing musical stud- ies performed for a very appreciative audience. Worlds apart now. two alumni recalled days at HHS. A This close-up of Santa reveals that he is none other than our jolly senior V.P., Andy LaGrega. Kathy Terranova and her committee of sen- ior girls were responsible for planning a warm welcome for returningalumni. Set Christmas Atmosphere Andi Director fondles the football bound for the boys of family 174. Other presents included a sled, a radio, lamps, and clothing for each member of the family. Seniors and alumni mingled at the dance, exchanging the latest information about HHS and college life. This tinselled tree lit the lobby with Christmas cheer. It was decorated by members of the senior class. Activity Contin Congressman Lester L. Wolff commented on a melange of issues and then fielded questions from the floor. The second half of the year sped by at the same hectic pace as the first. In February the All-School Council presented a special assembly featuring the congressman from our dis- trict. the Honorable Lester L. Wolff. The Congressman touched on a wide range of topics of current interest. He then turned the program back to President of the ASC Bob Gottlieb, who acted as moderator in the question and answer period which followed. For almost a week Hicksville found itself without the bene- fit of bus service. Nevertheless, attendance was good as most students banded together into carpools. The inconvenience was soon forgotten when buses resumed their regular sched- ules. March was quite a month for happenings. The PTA provided an evening of fun with its annual Donkey Basketball game, which pitted teachers against students and donkeys against everyone. The Honor Society invited students to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a semi-formal dance. Posters courtesy of Irish International Airlines, shamrock favors, folk dances, and wee colleens bedecked appropriately in green added authentic Irish charm to this Honor Society first. In the realm of the arts it was a busy semester. Tri-M ran two exceptionally worthwhile movies, one intriguingly enti- tled Liquid Jazz . The Particle arranged a special art exhibi- tion on loan, entitled Mi Pueblo which was displayed in the school library. Another fine issue of the Particle appeared in April and the staff extolled the glories of spring with a tea. Members of the music department were treated to a special concert by the Fredonia Wind Ensemble, two of whose out- standing musicians are former band members HHS hosted NYSSMA competitors this spring. All three divisions of the music department prepared for judging. Afternoons, the audi- torium echoed with the tunes of Camelot as members of the cast and orchestra rehearsed for the May 8 performance. For a brief four nights the happy-everaftering Camelot was a reality. The anticipation of Spring brought many student grievances to the surface. A committee was set up by the ASC to investi- gate the causes of the few demonstrations. Student leaders asked for relaxation of regulations and more communication between Administration and students. The Administration accepted student proposals and agreed to institute reforms in the cafeteria and study hall set-ups. The violent death of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in April shook the nation and the school. Hicksville re- sponded with a brief memorial observance and a food and clothing drive for the benefit of S.C.L.C. The Italian Club pizza party, the ASC Film Festival, the Senior Ball, and graduation ceremonies closed out the year. The tension of a playoff game erupted into wild cheering as our side scored. We had almost forgotten what they looked like, but we were glad to have the strike settled and our buses operating regularly. ;d as Year Faded The Honor Society Dance Committee deliberated over arrange- ments to lend a festive air to the St. Patty’s Day Dance. Graduation was the best attended event of the year. Boys don't make passes at girls who wear bowlers. organizations stamp club The Stamp Club, organized in November, 1967, is the newest club in Hicksvilie High School. The club is open to all students interested in the collection and trading of postage stamps. The main objective of the Stamp Club, as explained by its faculty advisor, Mr. Sklarz, is to stimulate and promote interest and knowledge of stamp collecting and related hobbies. Mr. Sklarz—Advisor Robert Scula—President Domenic Caloia—Vice President George Burge Donald Campbell Morton Glaser Ted Kumo Martin Klein Daniel McHugh Sharon Soroko Russell Tisman President Robert Nuss: Knight to king’s bishop six. Special guest speaker Mr. French examined a rare stamp with Mr. Sklarz and the Stamp Club. chess club The Chess Club is one of the few intermural activities which competes in an interscholastic league. The bi-weekly meetings give the members an opportunity to compete for positions on the team. Elimination rounds are held ail during the fall and in December the first members of the team are chosen. Team positions change through- out the interscholastic tournaments which begin in January. Hicksville High School congratulates Mr. Bu- relli and company on a job well done.

It is a national honorary organization which recognizes outstanding students on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Each year in May a group of juniors is selected for membership and inducted in an evening program. Its service to HHS includes a tutoring program. Stephanie Schlegel and Caryl Shields just listened. In the middle of an often unruly council.

Students, for the first time, attended council sponsored movies and other cultural and educative events. Greater SAT discounts and a fabulous Innash dance kept card holders jumping as they supplied the ASC with funds for its varied function. The council became closer to the admin- istration as together they worked out problems ranging from the dress code to closed toilets. Beyond service in the school, the council retained its fine philanthropic traditions and adopted a family at Christmas; readopted two children, a Korean girl and an Indian boy; and donated funds to other worthy causes. Its active members and wise executive board presented to the Student body a year of divergent yet always interesting happenings.

Their shutters invariably induce a few giggles and gasps and even a few choice words. Each member is versed in the fundamentals of dark-room tech- nique and usually spends many hours after school experimenting. Most often, the work pro- duced is in the area of snapshots and candids, but there seems to be a great eagerness to explore nature and exploit wild-life. The club’s photog- graphy is displayed regularly in the school lobby. The active membership is small, but the degree of interests and diversification in each individual is varied.

Italian club With the spirited Sicilian influence of Mr. Ferraro leading, the club’s first activity was an excursion to New York City. There they saw in concert famous Italian singers, such as Pino Donaggio and Milva. Later funds were raised by a cake and candy sale and donated to the li- brary to buy foreign language books. Having Italian books in our own library would aid a broad study of the language. The major event of the year was the Festa Ita liana. The grand pizza party raised funds that were donated to Study Inc. Study helps finance the trip to Europe open to all third year language students.

The group has many new members and has expanded to al- most twice the size of last year's orchestra. It also enjoys the unique and previously non-existent advantage of a practice room all its own. This advantage is complemented with time—a whole period for the orchestra to rehearse the ambitious pieces performed in concert. Under the persistent, cajoling, demanding and everpatient baton of Mr. Buttice. the orches- tra is constantly growing and providing memorable ex- periences for audiences throughout the year. Highlights are the Winter Concert which featured Overture to Russian and Ludmila by Glinka. Ipheginia in Aulis by Gluck, the first movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. I , and selections from Camelot by Lerner and Loew. At the Spring Concert, the orchestra played Shubert's beautiful Unfinished Symphony . Piano Concerts in A Major by Mozart, and Hoedown” from Aaron Copland's Rodeo Suite . Many outstanding members of the orchestra performed in a recital given in February, show- ing a high degree of musical accomplishment. The orchestra has also been invited to play at the National Honor Society induction. This group, with its dynamic director, gives the school music, that most important element which gives depth and dimension to our high school experience. Dedicated musicians like Jill Milians used every opportunity for practice. Hours of rehearsal paid off in the grand finale of a successful concert. The first violin section was challenged by Russian and Ludmila and Rodeo 115 A relatively new player. Julianne Taubman was always reliable and enthusiastic. bands j The Symphonic Wind Ensemble is the most advanced group in the district. It is the organiza- tion which represents Hicksville at outside en- gagements. It offers the opportunity to continue study through five weekly practice sessions and two scheduled concerts during the year. Member- ship is by audition. One credit is given each year of participation. Besides special invitations to play out of town functions the Wind Ensemble plans a Winter Concert, a Spring Concert, Me- morial Day Ceremony and Graduation. In addition, all members of the Wind Ensemble are required to participate in quartets for one meeting per week. Quartet, trio and other small-group litera- ture are studied. This program is specifically designed to give experience in independence of playing. Culmination of this work results in an annual Solo and Ensemble Recital. Other opportunities during the year are availa- ble for students who meet the special require- ments: symphony orchestra, marching band, theatre orchestra and dance band. Honor students in music with good academic standing are invited into the Modern Music Masters Honor Society. This association holds monthly meetings at which professional musi- cians from all fields are asked to speak or perform. Meetings are open to parents. Guidance and extra help are available for others. Music may someday be a most valuable and invigorating leisure time activity. There are many people who play in college or community groups as a result of their instrumental studies in Hicksville High School.

French horns played an essential part in all band performances. The marching band devoted long hours and Saturdays to practice. In an attempt to arouse interest in an up- coming concert. Marty Klein and company serenaded the school lobby. mixed chorus Due to the early absence of Mr. Arnold, this chorus, made up of mostly sophomores, was only able to perform in the Spring Concert. They sang pieces by various composers, and with Mr. Arnold’s help, developed their potential as a fine choral group, working toward further ad- vancement. Good singing required concentration and effort as well as enthusiasm. Chorus songs ranged from spirituals to kyries to show music. chorale The Chorale, Hicksville High Schools most ad- vanced choral group, is composed of almost one hundred students under the astute direction of Mr. Arnold. Their varied repertoire includes both classical and contemporary works. The group has highlighted concerts, partici- pated in the NYSSMA festival, and taken part in the annual Memorial Day and graduation cere- monies. The chief objective of the chorus is to introduce new types of vocal music to its members and to let them experience singing pieces of a challeng- ing degree of difficulty. It is certain that the mem- bers will remember the Chorale as one of the most rewarding phases of their high school years.

After a very slow start the team got together and won their last 5 games by decisive margins. The offense was led by quarterback Pat Dowling. It featured a strong running game led by Sopho- mores Fred Ehle and Richard Kowalchuk. When it was necessary to pass the ball Dowling’s favorite receiver turned out to be End Don Cook. Special credit must also be given to the Comet forward wall led by hard charging Dave Mcllwrath at center. Defense was the strong point on this year’s JV team. The defensive team gave up a meager 22 points in shutting out 4 teams. The forward wall led by Tackle Damien Garden consistently stopped the oppositions running game. Out- standing on defense for the Comets was middle- line-backer Fred Greiner. With the help of Corner linebacker Chuck Brady they were able to hold the opposition from moving downfield. This year’s JV stars should form the nucleus of next year’s varsity football team. All-County Fullback Ron Carmen left opposing defensive players in the dirt all season. COMETS CAPTURE DIVISION TITLE Hopes for Rutger’s Cup Shattered in Last Game Post 7—1 Record All-County; Ron Carman JV Finishes with 5 Straight Wins by Norman Hollander The Hicksville High School football team under the leadership of Coach Jim Grantham, captured the Division I title for the second year in a row. A loss to Levittown Division 21—13 on the final day of the season ruined the Comets’s chance of retaining the Rutgers Cup. The Comet offense featured a superior running game led by All-County Fullback Ron Carman and Dwight Eirich. But the running game was not the only strong point in the offense. The Hicksville passing attack though not as strong as it was a year ago was nevertheless respectable. Quarter- back Bryan McAuley’s favorite receivers were ends Tom Mirkow and Tom Draycott and halfback Jim Cara. A big role in the success of the offense was the fine play of the forward line. Led by All- Division lineman Ray Kretz they consistently pushed around opposing lines. The defensive team also stood out this season. The forward wall was led by All-North Shore tackle Herb Bragg, and consistently stopped the opposition’s rushing game. The linebacking core led by Middle Linebacker Mike Bernstein stopped the opponents from advancing downfield. The secondary consistently came up with the big inter- ception when it was needed. Many of this year’s starters will be coming back next year. The stalwart Hicksville defense led by Herb Bragg breaks up an end run.

Varsity Wins Division for Fourth Straight Year Goalie Galke Recorded Six Shutouts Germann Makes All North Shore; Galke and McClain Make All North Shore 2nd Team LONG SEASON” IS A SUCCESS The Comet hooters, coached by Mr. Harry Renn gained their fourth straight division title this year in a co-championship with Farmingdale. They posted a 5—1—7 record overall with six shutouts. It was the orange defense which triumphed this year with Doug Galke in the goal, winning honors on the All-North Shore second team as did full- back captain, John McClain. Captain Roger Ger- mann was the hub of the attack, as he managed to cover most of the field and was instrumental in many of the Hicksville scores. Roger was named to the All-County second team. The leading scorers were Mark Hortion, Neil Zanville, Pat Forte, and Rick Hafter, each with three goals. Division I, as usual, was tough, but with hard work and good spirit the team came through. Plainedge provided the first victory and then another later in the season. The Comets managed a tie with Center Moriches, a tough team always in conten- tion for the Suffolk championship. Herricks, new to Division I, Syosset, and MacArthur each pro- vided Hicksville with a tie and a victory, all six shutouts. Farmingdale managed the sole victory over Hicksville, but the Comets came through the second time around, as Charlie Alesi scored to cause a tie for the game and for the title. In play- off action, the Comets tied a strong Mineola team 2—2, but more corner kicks gave Mineola the technical victory. The Junior Varsity record was not as impressive as the varsity’s but the team shows a promising future. Under the fine guidance of Coach Roberts, the team finished with a record of four wins, five losses, and three ties. The Hicksville offense was led by Bruce Rosenswieg with five goals and cen- ter forward Jan Socul with two goals. Also out- standing on offense were halfback Richard Sklarz and Right Wing Richard Helsen. Excelling on the Comet defense were Steve Bodensieh as goalie, and Gerry Delmato and Carmine Torro alternating at the fullback position. Such fine players as these should make up the care of next year’s varsity. A play starts from scratch here. Fullback Randy Nash is about to boot as All North Shore halfback.

Miss Resnick, a new coach at Hicksville High, coached the varsity and junior varsity teams. Fine passing and dodging was developed by all the team members. Special mention must go to Lorraine Rowe and Karen Andreone who were the backbone of the varsity team all season. High scorer was Karen Younggren, followed by Mar- garet Murphy. Goalie Joanne Wayne should be commended for letting only one goal score against Hicksville. The biggest accomplishment of the varsity season was winning first place in the Long Island Field Hockey Association play- day. This was the first time Hicksville played in the playday and won first place. The Junior varsity had a good overall 5—1 sea- son only losing to Port Washington. Gail Pollina, Vicki Kopf and Barbara Sattler were the outstanding players. JV FIELD HOCKEY-FRONT ROW: Carmen Amaya. Barbara Sattler. Michele Schollar. SECOND ROW: Vicki Kopf. Gay Hughes.

Early in the fall, the two squads were chosen after all the con- testants attended a cheering clinic where they were taught two cheers. Then at tryouts, they had to demonstrate their coordination and jumps, and they were selected by judges on the basis of their pep, voice, smile and appearance. Then the two squads, under the direction of captains Sue Gwiazda and Irene Harlin, led Hicks- ville’s enthusiastic fans in clap cheers, school chants, and short catchy yells which enlivened the spectators and roused our teams to victory. The Comets added a vari- ety of new cheers like this one to their repertory this year. Varsity Cheerleaders: KNEELING I to r—Maureen McAllister. Louise Junge.

Also Has Successful Season The Hicksville Varsity Basketball Team concluded its season with a 10—9 record. In league, with a 7—5 record, the Comets finished in third place. These statistics do not seem too impressive, but playing the season with only one returning Varsity man and with a new coach, it proved to be a highly successful season. John McClain, the sole returner from last year’s squad, led the Comets through the reg- ular season, and into the playoffs. John’s 14.8 points and 10 rebounds per game led the op- posing coaches to choose him as a member of the All-Division Team. The team is rounded out with Junior Bob Rodgers, who quarterbacked the Hicksville's defense employed a successful defense press all season. Varsity Basketball Won-10 Lost-9 J.V. Basketball Won-12 Lost-5 team, Doug Galke and Brian McCauly. both scor- ing threats, and 6’4” Sophomore Don Massey who led the team in rebounds. Coach Bryan predicts the Comets to be a strong contender for the Division Championship next season with the return of Rodgers, Massey, and a strong core of J.V. men. The J.V. finished the season with a 12—5 record. This was good enough for a third place finish in league. The key to the teams success was its full- court-zone-press defense employed in the second half of almost every game. The men used, in this press, by Coach Alfieri were Dick Berg. Rich Mul- lin, Neal Schwainwooks, Chip Bayer, Don Cook, and Joe Zuckerman. The team was led offensively by Berg, Cook, and Ed O’Reilly. 138 Dick Berg was always a scoring threat for the J.V.

Genevesi SECOND ROW-Coach Alfieri, Cross Country—The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner The Hicksville High cross-country team finished the 1967 season with a five and four won-loss record. For a team that is annually a champion, the year was a disappointment to the Comets; and. for once in a long time, the other teams in the division had a shot at the championship. The Comets posted a 3—3 league record, with victories over MacArthur. Herricks, and Clarke high schools. The victory over Clarke was the most impressive, with Comets crossing the finish line first, second, third, and fifth. Coach Bob Hilsky worked his men from Jones Beach on the South Shore to Great Neck on the North Shore, and from Bethpage to Van Cortland Park in the Bronx. Top man on the squad was senior “Bob McEneaney” (legs), who. even with his antics during practice, finished in the lead for Hicksville consistently. Running a close second to Bob was Craig Ibbotson, who pressed Bob for the top spot all year long. To Coach Hilsky’s de- light, third man was sophomore John Johnston, a tremendous prospect for the next two years, along with newcomer Bill Sanderson, a junior, who will be battling with John for top spot in 1968. Injury stricken Rich Midgett was fifth for the harriers. In post-season meets, after finishing seventh in the North Shore Class “A championships. Hicks- ville surprised the county by finishing sixth in the Section 8 Meet, losing to defending county champ Sewanhaka. who had beaten the Comets 51—50 in the first meet of the year, by only one point. Hicksville failed to have an entrant in the state meet at Buffalo, but Coach Hilsky has high hopes for 1968. Varsity Cross Country Left to Right C. Ibbotson. G. Koslow. R. Midgett. C. Schoenthal, B.

NETMEN FINISH 3RD IN LEAGUE Hopes for Next Year Look Bright by Neal Trabich This was a very trying year for the Netmen of Hicksville High. The team’s old rivals, Clarke and MacArthur were not equipped to handle the well- stabilized Comet team. But Herricks, a new arrival in the league, and Syosset, annual champs, made it doubly hard to place well in the division. Leading this year’s team were Seniors, Bruce Golden. Mike Fliece, and Captain Bob Gottlieb, who played the top spot on the team and did a very commendable job. Anchoring the team were. Neal Trabich playing second singles, and Curtis Brill playing fourth singles. Next year looks like a promising one with a major part of the year's team returning.

Girls Basketball Miss James, a newcomer to the HHS faculty, coached the Girls’ Basketball team onto an un- defeated season. The girls showed they had the will and skill to win. The Varsity's Big Three”, seniors Lorraine Rowe and Karen Andreone, and Junior Sandy Zeig, boosted the team with their all-around agility and adeptness as players. The outstanding reason behind the team placing third in the AWPENYS Playday was the loss of one of their most powerful players. Sandy Zeig was suspended from the game action because of a disagreement with the referee and was forced to remain on the sidelines for the remainder of the games. Besides that, the season was uneventful, but quite fruitful for the team. JV guard Sue Alleman looked for an open girl against an all-court press put on by Port Washington. Varsity player Karen Adreone kept plays in motion with skillful bal control. 144 Sue Gwiazda smiled as she thought of the basket she was sure to make.

This past year both varsity and junior varsity girls’ volleyball teams had outstanding sea- sons under the coaching of Mrs. Kutch. Through- out their matches all team members performed well, but there are a few members who deserve special praise. Among those are Lorraine Rowe, Karen Andreone. Joan Hasbrouck. and Karen Younggren, who led their teams on to victory with their skillful serves and volleys. The forceful blocking and spiking of the teams also sparked Comet victories.

Hicksville girls could more than Varsity Matmen Fourth in League J.V. Had Their Problems The Hicksville Varsity Wrestling Team finished the season with a 3—5—1 record and finished in fourth place in league. The Comets had their problems all season in the two upper weight classes. Their two upper weight stars, Ron Carman and George Pelcher. were out for much of the season because of in- juries. This was a major reason for the Comet’s fair season. Outstanding on this year’s team were Mike Lindo, Bill Krumm, Rich Kowalachuk, Tom Mer- endino.Tom Lee. and Bruce Rosenswieg. In the North Shore Meet, Mike Lindo finished second and Bill Krumm placed third. Coach Tomaini should not have too many wor- ries about next year’s team with the return of Kowalachuk. Merendini, Pelcher, and Rosens- weig. The Junior Varsity finished the season with a record of eight wins, eight losses, and one tie. Again, this season, they had a lack of depth and had to forfeit several matches. Outstanding on the team were Tony Defendis and Greg Reilly. The Hicksville matmen had many pins this year such as this one While waiting for their own matches, the Hicksville wrestlers sit down and cheer their team-mates on.

With a 5—3 record, the Comets finished third place in league. Leading the Comet squad was Ralph Macey who was outstanding in tumbling and free exercise. In the North Shore meet, he finished first in tumbling and third in free exercise. He then went on to finish first in Nassau County and seventh in the state in free exercise. Ken Grossman, another outstanding performer, took third place in rope climbing in both the North Shore and County meets. Other leading scorers on the team were Rich Macey. Pat Murray, and Barry Kalmaer. With an outstanding group of Sophomores and Juniors, the Comets should have another strong team in 1969. Great strength and balance is required for Rich Macey to perform this difficult move. Gymnastics Won 5 Lost 3 152 Matt Kaphan displayed near-perfect form on the rings all season.

Ralph Macey displays near-perfect form while performing on the rings. This form helped Ken Grossman to finish third in the County Meet. Mike Ursitti uses great concentration on keeping his body rigid while performing on the rings. 155 Track Team Hof An uphill battle all the way was the outlook for the HHS track team in 1968. Coach Ken Kingsley, desperately tried to get his trackmen into running condition, and had sacrificed much of his time to the team, including driving to the beach for 12 mile runs through the sand. The weather caused Mr. Kingsley much trouble throughout the spring—rain and snow took away much time from workouts. Compounding troubles remained the fact that nearly all the other teams in our division had had winter track; and they were in near perfect form. Returning hopefuls included Bob McEneany and Craig Ibbotson in the mile and two-mile. Additional future “bright spots include junior Bill Sanderson in the half mile and sophomores John Johnston and Mike Scanlon in the two- mile. Even with all the obstacles. Coach Kingsley and his assistant coaches Jaworski and Feldman hoped for a very successful season, and proved to surprise the other teams in the league. Hurdlers practiced long hours perfecting their jumping form. Patient jogging was part of the conditioning for the distance runners. Never Dimmed Trackmen fought the cold with sweatsuits to make up for winter inactivity. Chet Schnepf returned to the track team for yet another season of running. 157 Lacrosse Team High A middie smoothly passed the ball to the attack, and another play began. The Varsity Lacrosse team for 1968 looked strong in the three pre-season scrimmages and in its opening game against New Hyde Park. The Comets played well both offensively and de- fensively. Leading the Comet offense were Dwight Eirich and Don Fullerton. On defense, Ray Kietz and Mike Bernstein were key figures. Rounding out the squad was goalie Bob Dalaney who had 15 saves in the Comet opener. The JV Lacrosse team appeared strong in their opener scoring ten goals while shutting out their opponents. Leading the Comet offense were Craig Hassle and Chuck Arnone at attack, and John McDermitt at midfield. Defensively the Comets were led by Tom Flannigan and Andy Lee at goalie. Coach Umbria said that he had a “young team but still looked good.” He said that the test was to be later in the season. 158 The players are ready. Hicksville excelled in obtaining the edge after a face off. ighted the Third Season Despite the harrassing pokes and checks, our attack was very effective. Varsity middies got by opposing defensemen many times to score. Goalie Herb Bragg, a major reason for comet victories, made many difficult saves. The JV loosens up. Baseball Team Relied on The Hicksville Varsity Baseball team looked as though they had a good chance to capture the division title. This was due to the coaching abil- ity of Mr. Hogan and his well-rounded squad. The pitching staff was led by Mike Connors, Dave Skowronski, Peter Swedella, and Gary Jack- son. Backing up the pitching was the aggressive infield led by Peter Swedella, Donald Cook, Dick Sabatino and catcher Joe Nicholas. The out- field shone with Bobby Rodgers and Dennis Palelis. Rounding off the team were the batmen, who seemed to have the potential to put the finishing touch on the division crown. The star batmen were Peter Swedella. Bob Rodgers, and Tom Novellano. Great things were also expected from the JV baseball team this year because of the line guidance of Coach Hilsky and the excellence of many new players. The pitching shone with Frank Feeley, and Steve Marlow. The defense also looked good with players Tony Defendise, Bob Giarraputo, and catcher Charles Briel leading off. Playing an aggressive outfield was Mike Wasiluk and Mike Bucci. Putting on the finishing touches with their bats were Warren Breingerand Kevin McHugh. A JV batter awaited the next pitch. More often than not. it was a hit. Coach Hogan cleared the bases as well as the field many times. Teamwork Jim Cara's strong hard cuts helped the team in their numerous victories. A JV hopeful with a mighty arm throws the ball back into the infield Tony Defendis, ready to snatch one. 161 Basketball was a major part of the boys intramural program for winter. Intramurals S Varsity teams might have more glamor, but they are not the only offering of the HHS athletic program. Just as important are Intramural Sports, which allow large numbers of enthusiastic people to compete with schoolmates. In winter, nose running is enough sport for many students. Yet for some boys it is the sea- son for basketball, when they vie for the school championship. For those inclined to painful games, there is floor hockey, which is really like ice hockey, without the ice. In the Girl’s Gym, the thumps of basketballs can also be heard, but the most popular sport is volleyball. The best on these intramural squads go into the Girl’s Varsity and JV teams. When the flowers begin to bloom, softballs buzz through the air, launched by the bats of various and colorful teams. Farther away, gymsuited Robin Hoods whizz their arrows in girl’s archery. Springtime also brings tennis to the playing fields of HHS and the net profits attract many participants. Heated play developed between classes as well as between schools. engthened Sports Program We will always cherish the spirit that abounded at Hicksville.

Senior Pictures was one of the first events we had to prepare for. Andy La Grega offered his services as a guide for Alumni Day. Accomplishments In his second term of office, Chet Schnepf. with his side-kick Andy La Grega, led the class of 68 through an interesting year. Seniors enjoyed the freedom of their special privileges as early as December. The trip to Washington was an education in itself for all who participated. The theme for the expedition was '’happiness” because we knew our class was great. The buses, the motels, the monuments and the people were exciting, never- ending causes for amusement. Our class officers planned ahead for our senior ball. For the first time professional entertainment was provided by the rocking Critters. Couples en- joyed the diversion from the mood music of Earl’s Pearls. We ordered our caps and gowns without con- sidering the possibility of growing, gaining weight, or changing. But, by Graduation Day it was evident that many of us had changed in one way or another. The ceremonies climaxed with tears, shouts and memories.... Team Action Happenings 1. Communication through the “Inforfmer” 2. Early Senior Privileges 3. Successful Senior Trip 4. Computer Dance 5. Dress Code 6. Professional Entertainment for “Arabian Nights” 7. Student Court Support 8. Promises for the Senior Patio 9. Cooperation Concentration was essential to master this exam. The other half of the senior class lead- ership was Secretary Patti Schwartz and Treasurer Britton Lindquist. Even among seniors the normal procedure of testing still excited fear and concern. Cathy Murphy in the quiet study hall prepared for the un- expected. And When We Mark Messling and Joan Krakoff laughed their way out of the running in the pass-the- lifesaver competition. Recovering from jumping rope, the courageous line-up at Junior Night prepared to tackle the next game. 168 Were Juniors Couples danced amid the aquatic decorations of Atlantis”.
