John Ray MS ■COCKTAIL LOUMGeI 20 21 On the first day you stepped out of the September sun into the annoying task of being a sophomore, easy enough to survive, and while making new friends and copying their homework you suddenly emerged as a junior experienced in the ways of the world. But Fate had placed new obstacles in your path, terrifying, insurmountable. V Yet good triumphed over evil as you conquered college boards and learned how to deal with those notorious hall mothers and how to bluffhaving a pass when you really didn't and how to cut ahead on the lunch line inconspicuously. When the smoke had cleared from grades ten and eleven and thought you were getting a good education you became a senior, and now you came to know the great glories and privileges of our last year, hopefully, in the old school. A senior year was homework undone, sleep, impatience, graduation, then memories. calm- You children don't have any respect for us hall mothers. Standing majestically in the smoke of drag races along Division Avenue Hicksville Senior High School has braved weather, expansion, and a bitter taste of austerity in maintaining its well-earned position as educator of the masses, keeper of the faith, and defender of truth, justice, and the American way. Historically, the Catchatoree Indians, a now-extinct tribe who built their village on what is today a municipal parking lot, had a legend of an old squaw, who, while picking corn out near Hicksville Creek, heard the voice of the great white spirit: On this site you buildum heap big school When the tribe told the Dutch settlers of the legend, one farmer, who knew real estate, seized the tribe’s cornfields out by the spot of the legendary revelation. 22 Yet, worried that history might not smile on him for confiscating the lands of the poor Indians, this Dutch farmer vowed, years later, to bequeath the land “for thepublick goode“ for education. Before he died, he marked the legendary spot with a boulder, inscribed in Latin, with the words. Semper Olet, his cherished family motto. Although he had no idea of the phrase's meaning, he thought it had a nice ring; and he hoped that it would one day provide inspiration for the founding of a center of learning. So, Hicksville High School endowed with a rich heritage, sets out to accomplish the task of education in academics, vocational, or the arts for college, business, and the outside world. Everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed is required to take English for his diploma, besides numerous electives. English is truly a many-faceted experience where the enterprising student learns, in the short span of a few years, most of the basic, and some of the finer points of topics related to the art of self-expression, with words written on paper, or spoken aloud. From the sciences of rhetoric, and grammar, the student is exposed to the intricacies of ancient and modern literature, from Sophocles to J. D. Salinger. The student is equipped to put modifiers in their place, rescue dangling participles, and begin to interpret, after discussion, a wide range of literature. Self-expression acquired in English courses is applied in discussion in other classes, especially History, which is offered in the World and American varieties. Half-year courses in government and economics are available to specializing seniors. In the study of history, more important than mere facts are the concepts evolved. All the minute details of the French Revolution of 1789 are unimportant compared with the broader concepts the student retains. I WE. don't HAVE. A TEACHER I Uk 0 DNT SHOW up. 23 In his mind, any revolution has causes, effects, results, and often screaming mobs, violence, and invariably bloodshed. Armed with this practical knowledge about revolution, the student not only passes tests easily in high school, but in college, profits from his studies by applying history to his new' situation. Science traces natural history in the forms of physics, chemistry, and biology and gives the student a basic knowledge of natural phenomena. Practical experience is gained in the lab, dissecting lobsters, synthesizing contact explosives, and boiling water for heat studies. In the world of mathematics, Hicksville High students learn to use the strange symbols and numerical language of the subject. By the time students reach analytic geometry, or calculus, they can tackle the toughest of binomial surds. Foreign languages, usually designed to make the student more “cosmopolitan'’ and appreciate the cultures of other peoples sometimes ensnares him in the quicksand of grammatical conjugation and everpresent, omnipotent, idiomatic expressions. But through efforts of teachers, and with the help of constant drill and review, what seemed a Dante's Inferno of language was cooled into a cielito Undo If troubles persisted, C’est la vie. Art, drama, speech, and music are pleasant academic diversions which attempt to aid in the development of actors, orators, Picassos and musical virtuosos. Successful or not, there is at least the satisfied feeling of having tried. Marching up and down a rock-hard football field in below-zero weather with a tuba, may not be pleasant, but the defrosting feels good, later on. 24 ( U'C . Rumors fly about that wonderful course whose real name is supposedly so secret, it’s called Project Plan. Yes, students really have the choice to do homework or not in this independent study group. Recently they were found exploring the old sailing vessels at Mystic, Connecticut, having a great time. Hicksville High does, in fact, prepare students for something other than college, or a life visiting seaports. The vocational program at HHS readies students for careers in industry. Along with courses in the industrial arts, students take courses in math, English, science and history. The print shop boys practice their trade by printing school and district publications, a profitable setup for both the students and the district. Nearby the whirr of the lathe announces the carpentry shop, whose workers help out with construction work for school dances and productions. The beginning driver’s ed. student might be convinced that his car may be the next specimen for the auto shop. The boys do work on several vehicles, curing their ills and keeping the engine tuned. Hicksville would still be Indian cornfields if not for the application of skills taught in the architectural drafting course. Commerical building and home designing are emphasized. Yet the industrial arts are not the province of men only as evidenced by the beauty culture program, where 1,000 hours of practical work and theory are required for a license after a state exam. Experimental styles are reserved for mannequins and the braver faculty members. ) In addition to these profitable experiences, Hicksville High offers a wide selection of courses for developing new candidates for the business world, including typing, bookkeeping, merchandising, and courses in stenography, and business arithmetic And now I'll teach you how to park. After classes a good part of the senior class and a few stragglers from the junior class, drop into lecture or the front seat of a brand-new Montego for Driver's Education. Students are taught the finer points of sportsmanlike driving, and pink slip in hand, sit behind the wheel in the car to see who panics first: you, or your instructor. And when the car was safely back in its stall in the parking lot, it was usually time for study, or arduous homework which sometimes seemed too much but whatever was undone was hopefully overlooked. The day of judgment came every ten weeks, at the end of the quarter, spread out over a week, in which tests of all description were hailed upon you: essay, short- answer, multiple choice—if you happened to be lucky, there was a matching question. Gyp sheets or not, the answers, and their location were known only to you and your conscience. And when the teachers trudged home on long weekends, sharpening long, red correction pencils, you worried in apprehension. The relief came on one Thursday, and the computer, in its cold, mechanical style, wrote you its congratulations. IT SAYS UNLESS WE SACRIFICE A Register, to it, it will DESTROY AU_ the School. 26 When notified of the official grades and the certainty of graduation, there were many echoes to be heard, of cheering teams on to victory, the bell at the change of classes, and the ominous voice on the loudspeaker This is Mr. Rusch. Speaking.' Now cherish that time you forgot that homeroom was changed from after fourth to the beginning of the day, and you wandered around lost, mystified, bewildered. Out in the outside world, remember that the school still stands, poised, to educate the next year’s seniors. Halls now hollow, lockers cleaned and the dust and smoke of the exuberant class of’69 still rise and settle. Hall mothers conquered, teachers befriended, subjects passed, friend made. A group of 1066 hopeful educated young people now charge out onto the playing fields, hearing the speeches, the awards, and nostalgia. Hope, ambition, and education, go out and help the world. Pledging: noses push nickels. 27 Mr. Donald F. Abt Superintendent of Schools DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION Mr. LeonJ.

It is difficult at this point in your life to assess the benefits of your high school career. As you find time to reflect on these past years, you will become aware of certain im- portant values that are vital in your maturing process. America today needs young people with vision and strength to help solve the many problems we find around us. I have no doubt that the members of the Class of 1969 will be in the forefront of responsible citizens working to achieve the goals and objectives of our society. It is im- portant at this point in your life that each of you evalu- ate his own character and personality so that you may make the decisions that are best for you in your lifetime ahead. If the education you have received helps you to make these decisions wisely, then you are fortunate in- deed. May I wish each of you success and happiness wherever you may go. Principal Hicksville High School Mr. James Jones Assistant Principal 30 Mr. William Feigin Assistant Principal SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION SUMMIT CONFERENCE ... in the office of the principal to decide some of the crucial points of effective administration: Messrs. Olvany, Jones. Rusch. and Feigin. Despite the confusion created by 3.000 high school students confined in a small space, not one person has been trampled to death, shoved out of a nearby window, or flattened into an educated pancake all thanks to the Administration. Of course, Mr. Rusch and his assistant principals have much more to do than regulate the flow of traffic. Many people remember most their disciplinary func- tions, with appropriate sentiments. Yet these men also must organize the office into an efficient working body rather than a conglomeration of clerical chaos. The Administration bears the burden of attendance records; this year they es- tablished a special Attendance Office with the official regalia of admit slips and stamps. The Administration super- vise many after school activities, aid the faculty, and deal with omnipresent com- plaints. Perhaps most important, they correlate the high school with the com- munity, uplifting the school from a week-day necessity to a thriving partici- pant in local life.

In keeping with the old Hicksville tradition we started out late but in no time the poker games (gambling strictly forbidden!) were in full swing. Baltimore found us boarding our touring buses to take in local antiquity. Our first stop was the Washington Monument where some of us took the elevator to the top while the rest, with the spirit of early Americana (?), trudged up the 898 steps. Next we watched lovely quantities of green being made at the Bureau of Printing and Engrav- ing. We visited the National Ar- chives and viewed the exhibits at the National Geographic Society Hall. We even found time to buy out whole supplies of water pistols. After dinner we prepared for the dancing and drinking (Coke) at the Presidential Arms Hotel that took place later in the evening. OVERLOOKING THE WATERS OF THE POTOMAC ... we caught a panoramic view of the Jefferson Memorial. GOING UP . . . HHS seniors chose the elevator over climbing the 898 steps of the Washington Monument 122 ■ � ECHOES OF HISTORY ... in front of the Capitol (left), and near the famous statue commemorating Iwo Jima (below). WILD IN THE STREETS... of Washington—perhaps —HHS seniors take a breather: (I. to r.)— Jerry Levine, Ron Kochman, Dennis Ivey, Bill Hamilton, Jane Deveau, and friends. WE, THE SENIORS ... glimpsed the famous U.S. documents. CLICK!... photographer Gary Enos. UP THE STEPS ... seniors explored the Lincoln Memorial. “IN THIS TEMPLE AS IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE. FOR WHOM HE SA VED THE UNION. THE MEMOR) Oh A BRA HAM LINCOLN IS ENSHRINED FOREVER SOLEMN CEREMONY ... for America's unknown soldier. Senior class President Gary Enos and Vice-president Glenda Miranda placed a wreath at the tomb in behalf of HHS and the graduating class of'69. RIGHT AT HOME . . . Bill Henne found the Charterhouse to be quite accommodating. ALL SOLD OUT . . . after the wave of HHS seniors hit, Washington waterpistol bins were almost empty. GROUP THERAPY . . . can only describe the dance at the Presidential Arms Hotel, on Thursday night. EXECUTIVE MANSION better known as the White House ALL ABOARD . . . those indescribable green-windowed sprawls in a wooded estate in the heart of downtown Washington. buses, to be whisked away to new sights and sounds of Washington. LANDSCAPE . . . dominated by gray stone, framed by bud- ding trees. 124 . and Williamsburg Up bright and early after a sleepless night our first with the Rat Patrol on guard duty —we went off to spend the day in Wil- liamsburg. As we walked around the first capitol of Virginia, guides lectured us on the historical importance of the city. After- wards we bought three-cornered hats and new water pistols. That evening back at the Charter House “Our home away from home —a Coke party was held while the Rat Patrol kept busy chasing boys out ol the girls’ rooms and the girls out of the boys’ rooms. Two of us managed to dump a bucket of water over Mr. Munch's little head in revenge for all the water guns he had smashed during the course of the trip. Saturday was jam-packed with sights, start- ing with the Lincoln Memorial and including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where we watched the changing of the Guard. We had our group picture taken and visited the Nation’s capitol. Before we realized it we were on our way back to Hicksville. We arrived home in the rain, (did Mr. Munch do a rain dance on the steps of the Capitol, perhaps?), the only bad weather we ex- perienced on the trip. As one senior put it, “It was really great—even the city was good! ■■■■■■! Irene A. Pick Valedictorian Irene A. Pick hopes to com- bine her record as an out- standing student of the German language with her future ambition of teaching. She finds time from aca- demics to participate in the activities of the German Club, of which she has been a member for two years. A member of the National Honor Society, she takes to the snowy slopes in win- ter with the Hicksville High Ski Club.

A school year is a school year as any self-respecting stu- dent will tell you. Yet 1968-69 promised more in the way of excitement than any year to date. The term com- menced with a bang, although that bang was three weeks late. Austerity budget troubles plagued Hicksville students in the opening days. However, not letting the situation get the best of them, student organizations combed the town with petitions to ensure the safety of a complete school year. By late September the battle was won and the first home football game got underway. Amid thunderous applause, Mr. Rusch dedicated a new electric scoreboard. Needless to say, it didn't quite function properly; still, the Comets went on to overpower Clarke, 20—0.

Mr. Paisner's guests were entertained by the mind-expanding Blue Glass Illusion psychedelic lighting and all.

Ever popular candidates were back to run again this year in class elections. Predictions were fulfilled, yet there were a few surprises in the offing. Naturally, poster making became the greatest challenge of election week. Crews of diligent campaigners worked feverishly seeing who could produce the biggest, wittiest, most original piece of electioneering. Meanwhile packs of vigilantes proceeded to tear down and deface as much of their opponents advertising as possible. Both sides were kept busy. There were the usual amount of write-in can- didates, who successfully managed to divert a major percentage of the vote from the main candidates. The result was a well-contested race. Seniors elected Gary Enos president, Glenda Miranda vice-president, Pat Kiernan treasurer, and Paulette Florio as secretary. A landslide vote elected Joe Zuckerman president of the junior class. JoAnn Staffieri became vice-president along with Mary Jo Defendis as treasurer and Kathy Brennan as secretary. Sophomore returns decided the presidency for Hank Shadwell. Robin Ribarich was elected vice-president. Carol Greenstein and Wendy Leet were voted in as treasurer and secretary, respectively. 132 The officers settled down to plan class activities. TALENT PAYS . . . Joan Friedenberg and Dave Ingvoldstad performed in folk concerts and recitals during the year SPECIAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMS An unusual variety of concerts and special pro- grams were presented throughout the year. The most outstanding display was that of Carmina Burana, a modern classical repertoire written for voices and instruments. The Community Chorus and Orchestra along with the HHS Chorale com- bined to present this special in Holy Trinity High School. Stephanie Katz was the featured soloist and Mr. Goleeke directed the chorus with great enthusiasm. Folk concerts seem to be in vogue again. Tal- ented groups and singles performed at concerts sponsored by the school and the Folk and Jazz Club. Students were kept informed of happenings via class meetings and the good old P.A. system. Several interesting assemblies have been given to permit pupils to see shows they might not otherwise have the opportunity to view. One such assembly was given through the Chrysler Corpora- tion and received a standing ovation from an en- thusiastic audience. A COMMUNITY EFFORT . was put forth to present Carmina Burana to the residents of Hicks- ville. NOW INTRODUCING ...Mr. Goleeke presents Stephanie Katz as soloist.

ALL-SCHOOL COUNCIL XMAS, ALUMNI As the end of December draws near, students at HHS overflow with new exhilaration and joyousness. This is due to a combination of raw chilly walks on cold mornings, and the prospect of an up coming Christmas vacation. The day before Christmas vacation brings all sorts of Alumni to the high school. Alumni Day, sponsored by the All School council, gives former students a chance to meet their old teachers and sneer at the kids still in the high school. The regulars of Alumni Day, Santa and his magnificent reindeer danced through the gym and distrib- uted presents to all the good little teachers and some bad ones, too. Back for a return engagement, this year’s Innash dance proved to be more popular than ever. Weeks before, hungry man-hunters roamed the halls trying to snare unsuspecting males. The word Innash is derived from three phrases. IN-for inch; the girl must pay a nickel for every inch dif- FINISHING TOUCHES . .. administered by the golden fingers of Mickey Meyer CHAIRMAN OLD SAINT NICK . .. and his shapely reindeer distributed plenty of joy at Alumni Day.

President Steve Rose, Chairman Gary Hodges, and Mary Englert, head of the Student-Sponsored Activities Com- mittee, have instituted many worthwhile projects this year. From the Save the Children Federation, two chil- dren, a Korean boy and an Indian lad, were adopted. Because of the pressure of public opinion, music was piped into the lunch rooms. Now everyone can be totally con- tented as they throw thick shakes. The latest ACS movement has been to establish a dress code to eliminate the controversy over such items as pants for girls. It was last reported stalemated in committee arguments. THE ODD COUPLE . . . Barney Gill and Barbara Gellert as Laurel and Hardy.

Sock-it-to me Variety, directed by Mr. Crucilla and presented on November 14,15, and 16, 1968, came up with an evening of delightful entertain- ment. Instead of the usual onslaught of blackouts after the cast opened with Hey, Look Me Over, the Dance Band performed under Mr. Abt. Then, to the consternation of those in the front rows, a tableau was set up in the pit and A Husband for May, began. This was a charming comedy which took place in Scotland. Two other one-act plays were put on, He Done Her Wrong, a melodrama, and an allegorical, existential piece. Slave with Two Faces. More usual numbers included a dance by Jan Sawtelle with her own taped voice singing “Show Me” in the background. The Browning Hodges Mistake did two solos, then added Eve Buckner for A Piece of My Heart. The rock group also ap- peared in Torrid A Go-Go. On a Clear Day was a musical soap opera about two runaway adoles- cents, their parents, and a toy store display. At last, the Finale, an as yet unheard of spec- tacular. This gargantuan production, written by Mr. Arnold, Michael Zuessman, Peter McEntee, and Gail Greenstein, was entitled In a Pear Tree. It featured Peter McEntee, Janet Dodson, and, of course, the entire cast plus a lot of confetti. One would have had to be a frozen mammoth not to have it socked to him.

The Music Department once again enjoyed the spotlight as it ofTered numerous concerts. Mr. George Grippo, new to the de- partment, took up the baton of the Concert Band and conducted with a distinct flair. Selections from Sousa, ProkofiefT and Loewe were followed by the piece Antietam by Whear, ac- companied by slides of the War Between the States. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble enjoyed great musical success and popularity in concerts and occasional student assemblies. Shostakovich, Bach, Sousa, Wagner, Mendelssohn, and Roger Nixon were reduced to mere mortals as the dynamic group, for the first time under the direction of Mr. J. David Abt, played to a standing ova- tion at the annual Spring Con- cert. ViCKSVl ONE MORE TIME . . .

In the winter concert, the choruses and or- chestra combined their talents in a well- produced program. Highlights included A Ceremony of Carols as performed by the Girls' Chorus; the Mixed Chorus' rendition of Vaughn Wil- liams' Let Us Now Praise Famous Men; and the Chorale's lovely interpretation of Brahms’ Nanie. The Madrigals romped gleefully through music ranging from the dusty collections of the Renaissance to the ultramodern works of Hindemith. The Symphony Orchestra shared the ethereal limelight, combining music by Mozart, Strauss, and Whear with the inspiration of Mr. Thomas Buttice. In addition, music-lovers were treated to concerts by pianist Carmen Czernik, the Spurr-Lows from Chrysler, and the oppor- tunity to “do their own thing'' at Hicksville Recreation's Folk Concerts and Modern Music Masters' recitals.

THE SENIORS OF 1969 VITALITY AND FUN The Class of '69 will go down in the annals of Hicksville High as one of the most vibrant and innovating senior class ever. Despite the usual barrage of petty complaints the senior officers, including Gary Enos, Glenda Miranda, Paulette Florio, and Pat Kiernan, have worked to achieve such goals as early senior priveledges, a senior trip to see Zorba. and a successful senior ball with fabulous enter- tainment. Among regular school service functions, seniors this year did their share of manning the ticket booths, organizing the yearbook, senior pictures, and dousing the teachers on the Senior Trip. One of the newest events on the scene was the coming of the Monthly What?, a biting and truthful carefully cir- culated newspaper. SMILE ... for Senior pictures.

The Snowball, the first semi- formal dance of its nature in Hicksville High, proved to be a rolicking success. The Soul-Kitchen provided the music all night long while couples danced to familiar rock sounds. The Climax of the evening came over the excitement of electing a queen. Five senior girls were nominated this year in place of the football season homecoming queen. They were, Donna Boaro, June Pinataro, Louise Junge, Pat Kiernan, and Sue Wilson. Voting went on through- out the night. Finally the big moment arrived. Louise Junge came away with the honors, and became a very happy queen. The Snowball will continue to be a hit of school years to come. Its success is inevitable. JUDY COLASANTI. .. and friend bring the military element to the dance.

They put their extra energy into planning and decorating for the main attraction of their year, the Junior prom. Heaps of crepe paper, buckets of paint, miles of chicken wire, and hundreds of two by fours arose from the floor to transform the gym into a place of splendor. Of course the evening was wonderful with enter- tainment by the Ciffons and the crowning event being the election of the queen and her court. President of the Class of 1970, Joe Zuckerman, and the other officers, JoAnn Staffieri, Mary Jo DeFendis, and Cathie Brennan did their best to provide the best year for their class. Juniors turned out in force to act as guides, serve at the other proms and back the school with plenty of spirit. The Class of '70 has surely proved its worth.

Wendy Leet, secretary: Robin Ribarich, vice-president; Hank Shadwell, president; and Carol Greenstein, treasurer. C JZJZ The Class of 1971 had an opportunity to see all its members at the sophomore orientation in September. Although Mr. Rusch was not present, Steven Rose and other school leaders informed them about S.A.T. cards, and stressed the role of the All-School Council, student court, and class officers. Of- ficially welcomed, the sophomores were on their way to make their first year at Hicksville a memorable one. Once again, the sophomore hop started off the school's social season. Sophomores are usually christened “ghouls by sneering upperclassmen, and this year they appropriately held a “Monster Mash. Spider webs, vam- pires, and all the nicest furnishings of a haunted house graced the old girls’ gym. The Soul Kitchen dished out musical morsels, and exhilarated danc- ers whirled away the evening in the eerie atmosphere. At midnight, fangs were retracted, and the monsters vanished into the night, with inspira- tion for a successful year. VARSITY COMETS SMASHING DOWNFIELD . . .

CONQUER THE FOES OF THE GRIDIRON Defense Is Key Under the direction of Coach Jim Grantham, the Varsity Football team claimed its third straight Division I championship. Only one defeat, coming in the final two seconds of the game against Syosset, blemished the Comets' 1968 season. In 1967, the gridmen lost their only other game in three years to Division Avenue, but this season the Comets triumphed over the Levittown team, 14—8. A strong de- fensive line spearheaded by All-Coun- ty defensive end George Pelcher at- tributed to the team's success. All- Division linemen Steve Grilli, Xan Ostro, Dennis Patelis, and Chuck Zodda led the team to five shutouts and proved to their opposition that, as Coach Grantham said, they constituted “the strongest defensive line I've ever had at Hicksville.” The highlights on the offensive side were Brian Mc- Auley's passing and All-North Shore fullback Charles Zodda’s sensational running. No doubt this year’s starters will be a stunning defense for next season. VARSITY FOOTBALL: FRONT ROW.

Under the fine guid- ance of Coach Meyer, the team posted a final rec- ord of six victories (including five shutouts), no losses, and two ties good enough for the North Shore Division I championship. Offensively, the Comets shined with quarterback Clint Brown tossing to talented ends Gary Jack- son and Tony DiLorenzo, and handing off to run- ning back Jim Ajello. The defensive squad did their share—holding the opposition to a meager thirty-nine points (total) for the year. Hicksville J.

Whether fading back to let fly a well-aimed pass (above), or dropping back to shovel a pitchout to the fullback (left), the quarter- back moves the team, and helps to score those points, without which, considering Hicksville’s defense, almost every game would be a dull, scoreless encounter. The action on the field of course, is only the end product of weeks of hard practice and conditioning. Even during half- time, Coach Grantham maps second-half strategy (right). WHEN THE SMOKE HAS CLEARED and teams have cleared the field after the violent game, Hicksville's new electronic scoreboard reports the victory—and ticks off the vital sec- onds during the game itself. 153 SOCCER t I W IT'S A BIRD. IT'S A PLANE! No, a moving soccer ball blurred by Bruce Spencer's kick. Varsity Budget problems, hindering early season scrimmages and team practice, pre- vented Hicksville's Varsity Soccer team from gaining necessary momentum at the start of the season. However, under the careful guidance of Coach Renn, the varsity hooters managed to post a grati- fying 4—4—4 record, including 7 shut- outs against the opposition. The Hicks- ville defense, which has always been known for its strength, boasted the creative footwork of fullbacks Ed Ca- mara, an All-North Shore second team selection, and Mark Hortian, who re- ceived All-Division honors. The Comets, seemingly unconquerable on their home soil, thankfully acknowledged the skill- ful efforts of goalies Bob Giarraputo and Bill Whiffen. A potentially strong of- fense was unable to coordinate all the individual talent. Steve Van Wickler spear-headed the Comet attack, re-in- forced ably by seniors Andy Lee, Richard Sosulski, Neil Zanville, Toby Allen, Marty Klein, and Bruce Rosenzweig. The Comets proved to be delightfully unpredictable as they blistered through a 1—0 victory over league-leading and undefeated Syosset. The return of five lettermen to next year's varsity soccer squad predicts the reestablishment of Comet supremacy in Division I. TOE TO TOE ... combat with the enemy.

Junior Varsity The Hicksville High Junior Varsity record was not as impressive as the Varsity’s. Under the able direction of Coach Roberts, the team showed de- sire and determination but were handi- capped due to the late start of the season. This year's offensive line showed fine ability and seems to be a good hope for the future of Hicksville High Soc- cer. The team's scoring attack was led by Kevin Patterson and Mark Weinreb with three goals apiece and with extra efforts from Dean Lewis and Henry Marano each scoring two goals. The three wins the Comets did gain would not have been possible without the fine skills of goalie Ed Kahn and defensive backs Joe Gervasi and Steve Woodcheke. Next year looks very promising with many fine players coming over from the Junior High and with many of the Sophomores returning last year.

This year the girls did not limit their performances to halftime at basketball games despite the wet and the cold, they graced the football field as well. Under the leadership of co- captains Robin Lieberman and Donna Grant, and advisor Mrs. Sheehy, the Co- quettes produced the best kicks of the season. HELLO . Hicksville High's Coquettes run through their routines on cold, wet Saturday mornings, backed up by the marching band, which provides the music. Twirlers Everyone who attends football games in autumn and watches parades in the spring cannot fail to realize that the Hicksville High School twirlers are something extraordinary. Each girl has her own special glitter. All the twirlers enter individual competi- tions throughout the year. Their captain, Sandie Schwartz, is the 1968 Senior Miss New York State of Baton Twirling. Denise Zahn has been winning state medallions for several years; this year she won the state championship for 16 year olds. Ellen Mayer and Nancy Shapiro have been entering solo contests for three years and have a large collection of trophies and medals to show for it. Eileen Shauer was only recently introduced to individual com- petition, but she is well-versed in com- petitive team work. Altogether, the Comets have flair, flourish, and finesse. IN THE BIG H ... the band provides a nice backdrop for the HHS twirlers. Halftime shows were watched more intently with the twirlers' repertoire, added to the HHS fine cheerleaders and Coquettes. 157 TENNIS TENNIS: FROST ROW. {left to right I Charles Giancola, Robert Pryor, Howard Feldman, Peter Travis, Paul Gil, Mitchell Sakofs.

A Rebuilding Year For the Racketeers The Hicksville Varsity Tennis team started off the season with high hopes. They defeated MacArthur twice, but unfortunately were unable to overcome their old rivals, Syosset and Herricks. They finished the season with a disappointing 2 10 record, and placed fifth in the division. The star role of the team was first covered by Neil Tra- bich and it was later taken over by Curtis Brill, who played commendably. The team's anchormen were Mitch Sakofs, Peter Travis, Mark Goldstein, and Jack Ruben- stein. But Herricks and Syosset should not be over- confident. Next fall, the majority of this season's players will be returning to the courts, eager for greater success.

CROSS-COUNTRY Hilsky’s Harriers, also known as the Hicksville High Cross Country team, closed out the season with an en- couraging 5—3 record. The young team (only one of the seven varsity runners, Bill Sanderson, was a sen- ior) exhibited steady progress, and in the season’s last Division meet they registered an upset victory over Mac- Arthur. Varsity runners who will be returning are juniors John Johnston Mike Scanlon, Jon Leever, and Bill Kozak, and promising sophomores Pete Fuller and Jim Maddis. Johns- ton, the team's top runner, captured meet and received All North Shore honors. While especially high on Joh- ston. Coach Hilsky also foresees successful senior years for Scanlon and Leever. All in all, an excellent season is predicted for 1969. Partners in training, the Junior Varsity enjoyed an equally fruitful year. J.V. runners Lewis Gebhardt and Sheldon Mel- nitsky performed well and will be in contention for Varsity positions. The cross-country team can be char- acterized by its accent on youth and improvement. NEITHER SNOW NOR RAIN . . . nor a muddy track prevented varsity cross-country runners from getting into the right shape.

This included a seven-game winning streak and first place in the New Hyde Park Christmas Tournament. The Comets also finished third in their division, and thus gained a berth in the playoff. Extra shine for the Comets came from ex- cellent rebounding and scoring by Don Mas- sey, Dan Schmitt, and Rich Dohoney. Bob Rogers and Bill Whiffen showed themselves to be excellent shooters and ball-handlers. A fine bench including Joe Zuckerman, Mike Glibowski, Neil Schainwooks, Don Cook, Ed O’Reilly, Paul Masciello, Chip Bayer, Carmine Torio, and Tony DiLorenzo helped Coach Bryan turn the tide in Hicksville's favor in a few close games. The coach pre- dicts strong chances for the Division Cham- pionship next season, since so many of the finest players are returning. The Junior Varsity team finished its season with a solid 10—8 record. Unfortunately, they were plagued with injuries and could not play with full ability. Nevertheless, Rick Mira- cola. Bill Kasten, and Steve Woodcheke played outstandingly. CRUCIAL REBOUND . . pulled down by Joe Zuckerman.

The squad, with a 3—3 league record and a 6—7 overall record for the year, finished fourth in North Shore Division I. Bruce Hirshfield and Rich Kowalchuk placed first; Tony Defendis and Kurt Jurgelevich both finished third. Hirsh- field also had the quickest pin, downing one man in 34 seconds. In the County Tourna- ment, HHS placed ninth, with fine work from Kowalchuk (third), Hirshfield (third) and Jurgelevich (fourth). The varsity squad was made up of seniors Bill Muller (148-lb. class), Bruce Rosenzweig, (123) and Tom Merendini (136); juniors Bruce Hirshfield (98), John Mackin (106), Tony Defendis (115), Greg Reilly (141), and Rich Kowalchuk (157); and sophomores Kurt Jurgelevich (130), Tony Giacomaggio (168), Tom McAllister (178) and Ray Gamble (215). Other excellent grapplers included Lou Chiodo (130), Wally Weller (130), Tom Diehl (148), and Doug Wheaton (178). On the JV, Mitch Hirsh (98), Manny Lindo (106) and Bob Rogers (157) wrestled out- standingly. Bright prospects are ahead. PREPARING THE OPPOSITION FOR A TAKEDOWN ... is not as easy as it looks.

Coach Har- ry Renn was very pleased with his team's performance and foresees an even better season next year, since most of the team will be returning. Led by Lou Ciarelli, with a 175 average, the Comets compiled an 8—4 won-lost record which was good enough to get them into the County and North Shore matches. The team responded well under pressure, placing third out of fifteen teams in the North Shore meet, and six- teenth out of fourty-four teams in the County meet. Tony Nobile and Mike Carmen both played vital sup- porting roles throughout the season. Another exciting highlight was the 246 game rolled by Wayne Fels. This was the best game in Division I during the year. The Junior Varsity followed the winning ways of the Varsity by placing second in their league with an 8—4 win-lost record. Topping the squad were Ed White and Dan Decker. Just as an afterthought—the bowling team knocks down about 120,000 pins a year. . . and that's a lot of wood!

With our team's accent on youth, the victories were all impressive. The coaching staff feels that with a combi- nation of better luck and fewer injuries, some of the defeats could have been averted. Gary Madden was star performer of the year, capturing third place honors on the high bar in the Nassau County Champion- ships, and fourth place in the rope-climb. Madden, and other sophomores point to a successful 1970 season—with help from Fred Feldt (free exercise and tumbling), Pete Bernstein, and Tom Brennan (side- horse and long-horse).

The squad looked well equipped in their pre-season games and in their disappoint- ing 10—7 loss against Elmont in the opening game of the season. Returning from defeat the Comets routed Kennedy, 11—4, in their second game with out- standing efforts coming from Chuck Ar- none, Brian McAuley and John McDer- mott, aided by Andy Lee and Mike Gallant. As it stands now, the varsity squad will assuredly finish high in the standings. Coach Umbria’s JV Lacrosse squad showed a great deal of aggressive ball playing through their first few games by defeating Kennedy, 8—2, and Elmont, 8 2.

Heavy snow and early spring rains made the track unsuitable for practice. Coach Kings- ley therefore had to rely on the halls of the new wing to get his team in shape. Several times his luck ran better and he could run his team on the sidewalks around the school. The team was also at a disad- vantage without indoor track. Most of the other teams in the division had winter or indoor track pro- grams and the teams were already in good shape for the spring season. Because of this disadvantage, the HHS track team had to work even harder to get ready for what promised to be a tough season. The team was extremely strong in the running de- partment this year. Ed O'Reilly, Jim Ajello, and 220 record holder Bob Shannon led the sprinters—senior Tom Merendini was the strong man in the hurdles. Jan Sokol ran a strong 440 with several others right behind him. Coach Kingsley had several outstanding distance men with returning seniors John Morrissey and Bill Sanderson running the 880 and mile respec- tively and junior John Johnston running the 2-mile. Rounding out the team were Ed Kingsley in the broadjump and pole vaulters Danny Stefek and Tom Brennan. Coaches Kingsley, Grantham and Feldman all see the team as a front-runner in the very near future.

BASEBALL This year's Varsity Baseball Team looked as though it would follow in the tradi- tion of Hicksville sports by placing well in their division, due to the coaching ability of Mr. Hogan and his well-rounded squad. Experience on the mound will be a great asset to the Comets, with returning let- termen Bob Rodgers, Ron Dechent, Dave Skowrowski and Gary Jackson. Backing up the pitching was the aggressive in- field led by Bob Rodgers, Charlie Reilly and Don Cook. Putting the finishing touches on the team and the chance for division title will be the batmen Dennis Patelis, Chip Bayer, and Pete Swedella. The J.V. baseball team is also excellently equipped and expected to follow in the foot steps of the varsity under the pro- fessional guidance of coach Hilsky. The team played hard and successfully in their preseason workout. Some of the hopefuls for the Comets are Pitchers Fred Feeley, Randy Daub, and in- fielder Mattie Tedesco. % HICKSVILLE’S ACE . . . pitcher Dave Skowronski.

Coach Miss Resnick felt that the girls could have achieved better records than 4—3—2 for Varsity and 4— 1—1 for Junior Varsity—yet the teams played well and put in a great deal of effort. (They did remember to check the goal posts to see if they had jusj been painted before swinging on them). Leading the teams in goal scoring were Karen Younggren (varsity co-captain), Joan McGowan, and Michele Scholar (JV captain). Sandy Zeig (varsity captain) and Chris Van Houten also deserve praise for their fine playing.

So, for the first time, volleyball coach Mrs. Kutch took the responsibility of choosing and training five teams, rather than the traditional two. Besides JV and Varsity, there were senior, junior, and sophomore units. The Varsity team was the star, with an almost perfect record of 8 wins and 1 loss—the loss after an extremely close game. Outstanding Varsity players were captain Sue Alle- man, co-captain Karen Younggren, Sue Halperson, Sue Kirsch, and Joan Hasbrouck. Fran Sonntag (cap- tain) and Ginny Smith (co-captain) played well on the JV team, along with Nicki Korman and Nancy Halli- day. On the senior team, successful players were Paula Eichler (captain), Joan McGowan (co-captain), Jenny Kirkpatrick and Sue Kopp. The junior team could boast of Janet Bergholtz (captain) and Chris Van Houten. The sophomores were led by Fran Landes (captain) and Arlene Gottesman. SERVING... Varsity player Karen Werder from the back rank.

Through the serious, persis- tent coaching of Miss Garbosky, the teams developed a hard-core technique. The squads had a tough season playing other excellent teams, but pulled through admirably. The Varsity team, with a 4—3 record, was victorious at the AWPENYS Playday. Leading this honor team in scor- ing were Karen Younggren and Joan McGowan. Vicki Vrona, Joan Hasbrouck, and Denise Buckhaults showed excep- tional skill in their positions. The JV fared almost as well as Varsity, with a 3—4 record. Terry Schumacher, Mavis D'Addario, Claire Gwiazda, and the team as a whole played to its best ability. Team captains were Sue Alleman of Var- sity and Fran Sonntag of Junior Varsity.

Right behind with an 82 was second position player Joe Sirico. Other fine performances were turned in by Mike Kelley, Bill Kasten, and Rich Dohoney.

Members of the undefeated squad included captain Janet Nathanson, Janet Bergholtz, Colleen Hummel, Diane Gencarelli, Leslee Nickel, Karen Werder, and Ginny Smith. The Girls’ Bowling Intramurals, also di- rected by Mrs. Carter, completed a very successful year.

In winter, when students generally resign them- selves to the dusty pages of world history, some athletic types contend for the intramural basket- ball championship: still others, with a flair for slashing, high-sticking, and spearing, don the gloves and sneakers for the rugged floor hockey season. Down the hall, in the Girls’ Gym, the thumps of bouncing basketballs can also be heard—along with the shouts of well-contested volleyball matches.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is that the yearbook is an organiza- tion open to all HHS students, etc., but there’s more to it. It's a group plotting and planning all year for the big coup in June—when the books are delivered. What is involved is a multitude of details —writing copy, assigning artwork, draw- ing layouts, checking proofs, taking pic- tures and aspirin—all aimed at the un- shakable goal of producing that combina- tion of Life and Farmers' Almanack that is a good yearbook. We have changed the cover, paper, length, typography, format, price, and photo studios this year—and splashed a little color here and there. A real effort has been made to get the spell- ing right, and to make sure that all of the graduating field hockey players get their proper recognition. Between the lines we hope to have captured some of the charisma of HHS, so that even twen- ty years from now hall mothers, chicken delight. Regents, and Mr. Jaworski will be fondly remembered.

All-School Council Under the leadership of President Steve Rose, a potentially dismal year was turned into a sparkling success. Faced by disappointing SAT sales, the executive board was in greater possession of imagination than funds and made innova- tion and responsiveness to student needs their watchwords. The council's greatest success by far was in the field of gastronomical relief. Rising to student demands for food after school hours, the council in conjunction with the cafeteria staff began a canteen. The canteen was so successful that there is some prospect of the belabored cafete- ria realizing financial rewards. Not quite as successful, but still far from failure, were the campaign against vandalism and the establishment of a school dress code. In addition, the council completed the Peace Corps project, an ambitious program which had spanned a number of years and councils.

Captain George Berg retained his 1 rank all year. The Chess Club met after school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to give to all who desired it the opportunity to play the game which challenged Medie- val barons. At the beginning of the year, a tournament was conducted among the members in order to pick a six man team to compete against other schools. Despite indifferent play, the team took the ninth place team trophy in the Greater New York High School Chess Championship. George Berg president Robert F.

Tactical Gaming Society Dedicated to the American sport of mak- ing war, the members of the Tactical Gam- ing Society delight in the intricacies of military strategy and tactics, every Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday, on the miniature scale. In addition to the “tradi- tional games of Blitzkreig, Waterloo, Battle of the Bulge, and Diplomacy, mem- bers have invented new games for a change of pace: including Bull Run, Viet Nam. and (gasp) World War III. Everyone has a chance to be a general—claiming victory, or, accepting defeat. For more peace-loving members, the Society also defines relatively sedate games like chess and bridge as tactical games.

All who dared were welcome to join. Once a month the five best problem-solvers represented Hicks- ville in competition against other schools in the Nassau County Mathematics League. This year's team maintained a position equalled by only one other previous Hicks- ville team. Steve Breckner (one of the top ten scorers in the county), Chester Rob- bins, and Jon Tillem scored outstandingly. Other successful members were Mark Van Houten, Pam Lambert, and Mark Drier.

Interact Club Underwritten by Rotary International, Interact was established as a service club in the tradition of its parent organization. The HHS Interact Club, a member of District 725, participates in numerous district activities. Regular projects include ushering, and sponsoring of dances, dis- trict conventions, and basketball games against other clubs. Aside from its usual school service, Interact is known for the annual scholarships it bestows. Member- ship is open to any boy in school. Mr. Batista advisor Russ Tisman president.

Dues-paying members receive darkroom privileges: prints of candids, shapshots and esoteric nature studies are displayed in the school lobby. Members also find time for yearbook and newspaper assignments, during the course of the year. This past year, the Comet has been more successful artistical- ly than financially. Though the paper has not shown too much profit on the first few issues, the editors have been pleased with the results. Editor-in-chief Steven Rose has initiated a new policy of more mature and responsible reporting about subjects in which the staff feels the stu- dent body has an interest. Steps have been taken so that the reporters can choose their own subjects to write about, rather than being given arbi- trary assignments. Articles as diverse and sundry as those on the Student Court, a fashion column, the faculty alumni, and games with names have appeared. The Comet has blazed a trail this year on which others may follow and improve.

Under the supervision of Mr. Ferraro and Mr. Pacienza, members and friends explored the Italian Renaissance at The Great Age of Fresco exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In February, several members at- tended a concert given by Milva, an Italian pop singer, at Philharmonic Hall. The club was attracted to Lincoln center again in March, when the New York State Theatre presented La Traviata, an opera by the very Italian composer Giuseppi Verdi.

These were made possible by the more than seventy spirited members. The Club made two trips into New York City where they saw “The Umbrellas of Cherbourgh and a play by Moliere, as well as enjoyed the world renowned French cuisine. To climax this year's activities the Club sponsored ‘Cabaret’, a dance which featured the music of the Blue Grass Illusion, the Can-can and fine food. COME TO THE CABARET . . . sponsored by the HHS French Club. At club meetings, advisor Mrs. Sheehy co- ordinated the plans. Spanish Club This year the Spanish Club sought to prove that languages can be ungrammatically exciting. They held a Pifiata party, with a complete Spanish buffet. An exchange stu- dent from Buenos Aires, Argentina de- scribed her life in South America. Spring brought a spicy and boisterous Mexican Fiesta. The highlight of the year was a trip to see Man of La Mancha. The Spanish Club alsondonated money to CARE and contri- buted to a high school scholarship fund. 187 THE PRECARIOUS P1NATA ... is fair game to the stroke of Senorita Jeanne Sacklow. Der Deutsche Vere in Der Deutsche Verein spent much of the year raising money for two S50 scholarships. One is for the best senior German student and the other for the senior who did the most for the club. Efforts to in- crease the treasury included the suc- cessful carwashes and a cake sale at a home basketball game. To round out the year, members attended a concert of the Vienna Boys Choir in New York City and then filled themselves up with German gusto at a typically Teutonic restaurant.

Until Mr. Abt takes command, it exudes exuberant howls; under his baton, it becomes the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. This advanced band played the music of Shostakovich, Sousa, Roger Nixon, Wagner, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Bach, and other challenging composers throughout the year. At both its winter and spring concerts, as well as at its assem- blies, the SWE has proved itself one of the best pro- ducts of the school. Mr. Grippo conducted the Concert Band with a great deal of gusto and productive abandon. They performed works by Prokofieff, Sousa, Loewe; at the spring con- cert they presented a mixed media work, combining “Antietam and slides of the Civil War. Those dashing black and orange uniforms assembling on the football field announced the arrival of the March- ing Band. Fringed by piccolos and supported by bass drums, they executed fancy maneuvers while dousing the crowd with wide-eyed music. They were also a welcome addition to the Menorial Day parade. Also under the direction of Mr. Abt was the dance band, which played at the Alumni Dance before Christ- mas and at the Variety Show. Their repertoire ranged from big beat to subtle croon. Thus, the bands of HHS show rare talent in every aspect of their field.

Buttice, performed a varied repertoire, ranging from The Emperor Waltz to the Catskill Legend. In addition to the annual Winter and Spring Concerts, they provided the music for South Pacific. The group played for two assemblies for the high school in February and May, another for an elementary school in April, and performed at the National Honor Society induction in May. Many of the orchestra's seventy members were also in the Sym- phonic Wind Ensemble, and sacrificed their lunch period to join the strings and Mozart. Hicksville has three choruses and a small chamber group, the Madrigal singers, all directed by Mr. Arnold. The Mixed Chorus is predominantly made up of sophomores. The Girls' Chorus is comprised of girls from all three grades. The Chorale is the most advanced chorus of jun- iors and seniors. This year in addition to the traditional winter and spring concerts, the Chorale added a modern music concert with pieces by Lockwood, Bernstein, Verdi and Freed. The Madrigals, who sing for community functions as well as school programs, is a select group of 8 girls and 8 boys. Its programs are built around Renaissance madrigals, but they also include music from all periods, from Josquin Des Pres to Jean Berger, the contemporary American composer. AT THE KEYBOARD ...

If he had peeked into the Cafeteria, a bemused student would have seen a horde of harmless folk dancers pranc- ing about to Greek, Russian, Israeli, and American music. The efforts of the members of the Folk Dance Club to master beautiful and often invigor- ating dances were viewed at the Par- ticle Tea in April. The dancers obtained both public and personal satisfaction. FOR THE PARTICLE TEA-GOERS . . . members of the Folk Dance Club presented an exquisite dance in ethnic costume. Human Relations Club The Roundtable-Human Relations Club was formed this year to enable students to expand and expound their views on political, social, ethical, philosophical, and metaphysical topics. This was done through stu- dent discussions, debates, and speakers. Some of the speakers included a Nassau County Sheriff, mem- bers of the State Assembly, a professor at Hofstra University, members of the Israeli and Jordanian missions, a Welfare representative, and speakers from Christian Science and Scientology. Student discussion topics varied from the morality of war to the benefits of LSD. The club also sponsored a teacher forum on the role of the Federal Government in our society.
