It is our individual experiences that will determine the kind of people we will be in the future. If we are to make the best of our future, let us make the best of these experiences. 4 5 You are tried alone, Alone you pass into the desert; Alone you are sifted into the world. F. W. Robertson In todayâs society, individuality becomes increasingly difficult to achieve. We are striving to be unique â seeking new possibilities of taking action, new directions in which to strike out, new goals to reach. âThe potential we shelter is the substance of tomorrowâ anon 8 9 This is my way, what is yours? As for the correct way, it does not exist. n We are exploring new areas, trying out new experiences; each of us seeking the best way to express ourselves. We are enjoying freedom and accepting its responsibilities. By learning to know others we begin to know ourselves. Now we soar as the birds which men have envied since time began We stretch our wings and worlds unfold We explore the universe entire, And then discover it within ourselves. 15 V Art 37 A-V Coordinator 25 Board of Education 19 Business 44 S District Administration 18 Foreign Language 30 Guidance 22 Health 48 History 32 Home Economics 48 Industrial Arts 49 Language Arts 26 Librarians 24 Mathematics 42 Music 36 Nurses 24 Physical Education 46 Psychologist 25 Reading 25 School Administration 20 Science 38 Secretaries 24 Speech 24 District Administration Dr. Frederick W.

This means that, now that weâre seniors, we have an excuse for all the actions we've all been guilty of since our sophomore years. These include cutting classes, smoking in the bathrooms, walking out of the cafeteria with food concealed in our pockets, etc. Yes, when June comes around weâll all miss being called down to Mr. Jaworskiâs office for being two minutes late to homeroom. But being a senior also has its good points. We have the option of taking elective courses, with a wide variety to choose from. The majority of students agree that these courses are much more interest- ing and enjoyable than grammar and vocabulary. And although this year has proved to be easier than previous ones, there are still many important decisions to make. Having to get out that application in time for colleges, and not being able to write required essays gave many of us near nervous break- downs. Taking SATâs is an experience that every senior can relate to. It has been said that the forms involved, were designed by geniuses to be used by idiots (or is it the other way around.) During the tests anguished cries of âswill,â ââaberration, and âherbetude could be heard. And we cannot forget the infamous Regents Scholarship test. Nothing less than a six hour brainbuster, the entire class of 952 students agreed that it was the most exhausting six hours that they have ever spent. But with all the hassles of tests and applications, everything will pay itself off when in April we will have received notices of acceptances, and the only decision left will be to choose where we want to spend the next couple of years. And the seniors of Hicksville High School will never forget Driver Education. The experience of getting up before sunrise and dragging ourselves out of bed proves that if we can do that, we can do anything. The suffering and complaining seemed worth it however, when we received our senior licen- ses, enabling us to really go out to lunch â driving to Hardy s, instead of walking to the pizza place. Upon graduation, each student will each receive a fire safety certificate for successfully complet- ing 272 fire drills. In addition to this he will also receive recognition for his improved physical condition from long distance walking to and from school. Overall it has been a fun year. Homecoming was a tremendous success, with a winning senior float. Student Government went all out, supplying an airplane and balloons. The senior trip proved to be worth all of our allowances, providing a weekend filled with fun and friends. There is nothing quite like a bathtub full of jello, or water fights in the halls. Many of us made new friends and became closer to old ones. And of course the Senior Ball. The highlight of the year proved that every now and then everyone gets out of their Levis and into gowns and tuxes. Maybe there is still hope? Well, we complained that we would never make it until June. But we did. And when we are all gone and the halls are silent, we will have the desire to come back to the place where many of us spent some of the happiest times of our lives. The memories that Hicksville High School has given us will remain with us forever. e n' SENIORS 149 a Art 161 Boces 164 Business 159 Drivers Ed 164 English 154 Gym 157 Health 156 History 154 Lunch 163 Math 158 Music 160 Science 157 All Around Our Halls The Hicksville High School student is caught behind wooden doors and âmonsterâ blackboards for most of the day. Eight times each day students are permitted a five min- ute respite to walk to their next class. More importantly this is a desperately needed social break. As students walk in the halls they can smoke in the bathrooms, make-out with their boyfriends or girlfriends, cut their next class ... the options are limitless. The importance doesnât lie in what they do but in the fact that they can do it. Fellow students can do their own thing without too much fear of retribution from teachers or administrators. The halls of Hicksville High School are illustrative of the uniqueness of every student. The stunts committee can be seen dancing through the halls on roller skates, club presi- dents trying to find Mr. Munch, and the student body freezing during a daily November fire drill. During days of good weather the Senior Patio is the place to be, for seniors that is. Remember, the Senior Patio is reserved for upper classmen only. So where do lower class- men hang out between classes? Of course, there is always underneath the math wing of the building, better known as the breeze-way. However, the main center of attraction seems to be guidance. It is amazing how many people claim they were in guidance, but guidance is always empty. The halls of Hicksville High are no different than any town of the world; composed of those of eleven fingers and those without. 152 ACADEMICS Ii.. In Our Classrooms English History Since English is the only required course in twelfth grade, the course offerings are as diversified as Hicksville Highâs students. The senior may partake in Standard English, Humanities, Advanced Placement, Drama, Theater Arts, Cre- ative Writing, Speech, and Philosophy. It is hard to pass in the halls of Hicksville High without hearing the outcries of room 250, Mr. O'Doherty s den, where many are reluctant to enter. Mr. OâDoherty teaches philosophy, one of the most controversial courses in the school. Students come out of his class more logical, more informed, but most of all more infuriated. The English department is also fortunate enough to have an extensive drama and theater arts department under the direction of Mr. Redigan and Mr. Crucilla. The majority of class time is consumed with the production of small class plays and skits. In eleventh grade the majority of students take a New York State Regent Examination in English. The test encom- passes vocabulary, composition, and literary interpretation. In tenth grade composition and writing is introduced. There is also a CORE program designed to help those students who have not acquired the necessary basic skills in Lan- guage Arts. Social Studies elective courses cover a broad range of historical topics. Students are not required to take history in twelfth grade but many students do. The question is there- fore, why? Despite popular opinion the Hicksville High School student is aware and concerned with history As one student put it, âWe may learn our mistakes and correct them for the future.â The courses themselves, Advanced Place- ment, Russian Studies, Bicentennial, Economics, Sociology, Government, Far Eastern Studies, and American Foreign Policy are designed to create as much interest as possible. With Mr. Mcginnis in charge of the history department how could it go wrong! History classes in the tenth grade concentrate on European studies leading to American stud- ies in the eleventh grade. In this bicentennial year there were many history contests one of which involved the election of the President. The winner would receive two tickets to the inauguration of Jimmy Carter. The History Department also held a mock election, resulting in a victory for Gerald Ford. Iâm sure Mr. Ford will be happy to hear that. ACADEMICS 1 55 Health How do you feel and what can you do to make yourself feel better? These and many other interesting questions are often asked in that favorite of all required courses, Health. As stipulated in the New York state curriculum, every New York state student must take Health in high school The dread of any Health class is the reaction paper where oneâs personal reaction to a guest speaker, film, or event is subjectively voiced. I couldn't get into it, is a popular response when Carlisle Cavity comes in and talks about tooth decay. 156 ACADEMICS Sweating It Out Physically And Mentally Science The main emphasis of the science department is placed upon the basic sciences; biology, chemistry, and physics. For those students who wish to take a different course there is ecology, oceanography, and advanced placement chem- istry. In oceanography Mr. Wellon tries to play the role of Jacques Cousteau in explaining the mysteries of the deep. Field trips to various water fronts are an integral part of the basic understanding of oceanography. Another extraordinary course is A.P. chemistry where students learn that a fifty average isnât bad. Mr. Ferri seems to feel his âgraduate students can handle any quiz he can give. Unfortunately his students donât always feel the same way. Everybody involved in any science course can agree that lab is where it all pays off. Lab seems to inspire the Dr. Jekyll in all of us. trying to create something that no one has ever created before. Lab does have instructional value; we learn that acid eats through pants, burning sulfur stinks, and nothing works out right unless the finagel factor is applied. Gym Boys gym was changed this year, cut off pants were out, and athletic shorts were in. This major decision rendered by the administration was of course strictly enforced. The idea behind the change in uniform was to give the boys that well groomed look The curriculum for boys gym is a relaxed one. During the spring and fall the boys go outside and play touch football, tennis, handball, and soccer. During the winter the gym classes are held indoors where basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, team handball, and weight lifting are enjoyed. The exception was in Mr. Meyerâs classes where his âeski- mos went outside up until Thanksgiving. In girls gym the girls were finally permitted to wear shorts and T-shirts as opposed to yellow inflatable gym suits. The curriculum also changed from selective to non-selective, the girls were not permitted to choose their own activities. The change was made because the administration concen- trated all of its efforts on a proposed co-ed gym program for the graduating class of 1978. The girls participated in such activities as volleyball, yoga, and gymnastics. The majority of students were involved in a lab-gym pro- gram alternating weeks for gym and lab. Gym being required in the senior year caused many bad feelings. However, stu- dents did enjoy walking the halls all day with sweaty clothes. The Games Math We are in an age where man com- plains about the loss of individuality to machine. Hicksville High is no differ- ent. Students are eager to give up their individuality to the Edu-system 25 computer. This recent toy acquired by the math department is constantly in use. The Math courses, UMM, Analytic Geometry, and Elementary Functions, make full use of the computer by find- ing zeros of functions, determining Olympic scores, and playing games like Star Trek. The computer is a valua- ble tool in math since it makes busy work easier. The math curriculum, for the majority of students, is Geometry in tenth grade, and Trigonometry in elev- enth grade. In twelfth grade there is A.P., primarily a calculus class, and George Hripsack says, its easy, Ele- mentary Functions, and Analytic Geometry, both of which are pre-cal- culus courses, and Probability and Statistics. 158 ACADEMICS Business The business department is very active during the year, catering to many students' interests. Business courses, such as Bookkeeping, Typing, and Shorthand have practical appli- cation in the job market. Students find that valuable tools such as typing sixty words a minute, and knowing the defini- tion of asset and liability make everyday life that much easier. The business department, along with the math depart- ment take full advantage of the schoolâs computer, especially in Data Processing. Useful tools of business administration and employment are also found in Office Practice. Manage- ment, Distribution, Business Law, and Shorthand. âItâs great to know about business before you get involved with it, indicated a business student. The majority of students taking business courses plan to enter some form of business, either in college or in the job market. Of Numbers ACADEMICS 159 Itâs Clever, -1 f The biggest department in the high school is the music department, involving almost one third of the student body. There are a total of fifteen music courses available, ranging from Symphonic Wind Ensemble to Madrigals. The music department is divided into three main sections, bands or orchestras, choruses, and music theory classes. The Madrigal singers are known to have the best voices in the school. Under a new director this year, in replacement of the sabbatical ridden Mr. Arnold, Mr. Goleeke conducts the Madrigals in various concerts throughout the year. The Madrigals also give concerts outside of the school, such as their annual performance for the Hicksville Public Library. A main part of the music department is the Modern Music Masters or Tri-M. The society is composed of the best musicians and singers in the school. Being a member of Tri- M is a great honor because an audition and recommendation are required. Tri-M held many recitals, this year, under the direction of Karen Immerso. Tri-M was able to send five stu- dents, Sylvia Alimena, George Gesslein, Karen Immerso, Debbie Rudolf, and Jill DiDominico. on All-State music con- ference. 160 ACADI MCS Music But Is It Art? â Rudyard Kipling Art Everybody knows what art is, graffiti on the walls, doo- dles on a scrap of paper, and kindergarten finger paintings. In high school art becomes serious for it might become the career that feeds you. The art courses available in Hicksville High give a good background for the art career oriented stu- dent. Art majors all begin with Studio in Art, progressing then to their individual interests. These interests might include oils, water colors, or acrylics. The art department is extensive in its curriculum and course offerings so âif you want it, it is there,â as many students say. Advertising Design, one of the more popular courses, concentrates on the professional techniques necessary in the advertising industry. Other art courses include Fashion Illustration. Graphics, Art History, Photography, and Sculp- ture. Most students are taking art in a three year sequence so they are required to take an art regent to qualify for a regents diploma. High school serves as a good foundation to amass a complete portfolio necessary for the admission to most art schools and art oriented jobs. Preparing For The Real World Industrial arts courses concentrate on concrete creativ- ity. Students are given an opportunity to make something with their hands as opposed to their pens All shop classes are half year courses, except Primary Electronics where the basic make-up of electronic theory is taught. Other courses include Metal shop, where the shaping of sheet metal is taught. Print shop, where students are kept busy the whole year printing up tickets and programs for high school events, and Wood shop, where students are taught how to make everything from surf boards to rocking chairs. Wood shop won't be the same next year without Mr Dockrell who is retir- ing We canât thank Doc enough for all of his help and guid- ance over the years. Boces Where Hicksville High School canât meet the needs of all its students there is Boces. Boces gives the stu- dent a practical occupational education outside of the traditional education offered at most schools. Boces lends a rare opportunity for a student to explore a pos- sible career goal without making a commitment. Boces is divided into two categories, a m., representing the first half of the school day, and p.m., representing the second half of the school day. Students who go to Boces have an enormous course selection, ranging from auto mechanics to nursing. Both a m. and p.m. Boces ran into trouble or good luck, depending on your point of view, this year as a result of the twentieth cen- tury dilemma, the strike. Boces teachers went on strike demanding more money and a restoration of past ben- efits. Boces students had no complaints for the school was closed for two weeks. The strike was swiftly ended and Boces lived happily ever after. Home Economics âMommy, mommy will you make me dinner?â This is a common outcry among high school students which is slowly changing thanks to the home economics department. Home ec. courses teach students how to take care of themselves when mommy isn't around. Anyone who walks in the lobby of Hicksville High can smell home ec. classes âdoing their thing. There is one drawback with cooking classes, you have to eat what you make. An interesting class in home ec. is Bachelor Living where boys learn that âa motherâs work is never done. The home economics department is designed to prepare the high school student for the realities of life. These courses teach students how to handle money, how to cook, how to shop, and how to raise a family These are necessary survival courses in our increas- ingly difficult economic society. TSTiTu county Tolilf EDUCATIONAL SERVES Weâre Having Some Fun Now! Lunch What would students do if there were no need for food? Eating is one of Manâs greatest pleasures, in Hicksville High School this is no dif- ferent. For the Hicksville student lunch means more than fulfilling a physical need. Lunch is a valuable intermission, a halftime between rigor- ous classes. For forty-two minutes students may socialize, sit on the senior patio, go outside and play in the snow, and sometimes eat. Most lunch time is taken up in either of two cafeterias. The two cafeterias are a place of freedom where stu- dents are only subject to the constant yelling of hall mothers turned cafeteria ladies. 164 ACADEMICS Driverâs Education Driverâs Ed. is perhaps the only course without apathy and with full attendance. Having a driverâs license is almost as good as going out with Rosanne Cursio, it is the ultimate sign of adulthood and Hicksville High students take it very seriously. The course is broken down into three categories, lec- ture, driving, and simulator. Students arenât too excited about sitting in a class room and learning about how to change a tire, they don't really care about driving to a movie in simulator, students want to get in their cars and roll. Driverâs Ed. is divided into two semesters, one semester ending in January and the other semester ending in June. Classes are held after school and the selection of students is made according to age, the seniors getting first choice. The course requires the students to watch movies such as the Night of the Prom, collect newspaper clippings of acci- dents, and to come to class. The diploma is the blue card, proof of completion of the course, which is readily turned into a license at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Thereâs no doubt about that. But if winning is your first and only aim, you stand a good chance of losing. Your first commitment must be a total and enthusiastic involvement in the game itself. Enthusiasm is what matters most. If youâre enthusiastic about the game enjoy it, and do your abso- lute best, you have the best chance of winning. You can then also handle losing, since youâve done your best. . . Itâs never easy to lose. But so long as you perform to the best of your ability, with total involvement, you can take care of the winning or the losing. I havenât always felt this way about it. I know what itâs like to be obsessed with winning. Winning or losing used to be so important (to me) that the playing of the game became a by-product; and of course, this made it next to impossible for me to win anything. The goal, it seems to me, is to be as good as youâre able to be. If it makes you No. 1, fine. If it doesnât, you havenât lost anything, and you have gained a lot.â John Brodie OPEN FIELD SPORTS 169 John Bergen's spectacular reception of a pass CHARGE Mark Poll! receives encouragement from an admirer Opponent Varsity Record W L Score Levittown Division W 15-14 Syosset w 2p-8 Farmingdale L 48-3 Oceanside T 20-20 Baldwin W 19-6 East Meadow W 10-8 Laurence W 22-20 Bethpage W 31-8 - J Individual Honors John Bergen (sr) split end. all league, ail grid '76, all met Bob McAutey (sr) quarterback; all league Kevin Miller (sr) tight end, all league Paul Kelly (sr) halfback; all league Mike Palahnuk (sr) tackle all league Jr. Varsity âąDue to reasons beyond our control we were not able to have a picture of the J V Football team The Comet Staff apologizes Dave Becker, Richard Bortdanza, Chuck Breiten.

This team started out by defeating the Syosset Braves for the first time in nine years by a score of 20-8' They continued to build up wins. The Homecoming game with Oceanside ended after much exciting play in a tie at 20-20. The Comets continued to win their remaining games, losing only to first place Farmingdale. The head coach of the team, Mr. Grantham, was well liked by the team members. Tom Campolittano. a senior halfback, said, âHeâs a very agreeable person, and Mike Palahnuk, a junior tackle, said, He got us on the winning side.â Another factor that contributed to the teamâs great success was the spirit and unity of the team.

Because of the individual talents combined with teamwork the girls were able to confront their opponents with tough games. Coach Barbara Feuerstein had this to say about her group: âField Hockey is a very precise game of stickwork and timing. Even though the varsity record (0-6) does not reflect a winning season, the girls worked hard each game, never giving up their competitive spirit or mutual respect for their opposition and own teammates. The J.V. team had many strong players who will meet the chal- lenge of the varsity team next year. At the end of the season the girls themselves vote for M.V.P. on each grade level and Most Outstanding Player Overall.

' The Cross Country Team 174 SPORTS Hundreds of miles of preparation and strong determina- tion were the keys to the Comets Cross Country Teamâs suc- cess this season. Opening on September 18th with a respectable 4th out-of-18 teams position in the Nassau Coaches' Meet at N Y. Tech, the team went on to cleanly cut up a strong Berner opposition, 25-28, and then stomp on MacArthur, 15-50, on September 28th. In the St. Anthony's Invitational at Sunken Meadow the following week, the team claimed 8th place, defeating twelve other L.l. schools. On October 5th, the Comets narrowly lost the division title to Syosset, 27-32. Said Coach Miller of Syosset, âIt was one of those meets where either team could have won.â Not dis- couraged by this loss, the team braved the water and mud of two daysâ rain to run away with 4th place in the Manhattan College Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park, defeating 32 other teams from the Tri-State area. Finishing the dual season with victories over Port Washington and the somewhat mediocre teams of Plainedge and Herricks, the Comets owe thanks to their top three runners, juniors Pat Quinn and Bob Corrado and senior Ted Goussios. Quinn and Goussios were voted the teamâs most valuable runners. The season not yet over, the Comets went on to claim a 3rd place title in the North Shore Meet, plus a 6th place in the Section VIII (nassau County) race. While Quinn went on to run in the N Y. State Meet at Bear Mountain, the rest of the team headed out to the polo fields of Bethpage Park to clinch a 2nd place finish in the Teddy Roosevelt Invitational, thus wrapping up the season. Coach Hilsky is sure that the team will do even better next fall, since, âBy that time, he says, âwe will have devel- oped the 4th and 5th place men lacked this year.

Spirited by their victory over this non-league match, the team pursued a season of high expectations and few results. The final record, although stained with losses does reflect certain tal- ents and achievements of individuals. This season Hicksville can congratulate two outstanding Badminton players, Erin Baldwin and Maria Hartnett, for placing fhird in the League 3 Individual tournament at Clarke.

Each athlete displayed her skill in specific events, although many participated in a variety of competitions. A few deserve special recogni- tion for individual effort and achievement. Jean Nealon, a winner of five meets, earned the right to compete in the Sectionals. Others who attained similar status were Bernadette Novotny, Kathy Schiedel and Eileen Rogers.

Their record was outstanding â they won nine games, tied two and lost only one game. With this record, the team was able to become champion of the division. The team was happy to receive this honor. One member said, âWe worked hard all season and were rewarded well.â Each of the members were excellent players, and together made a super team. Many of them received individual honors. George Fitzgibbon, a senior who played halfback, and John Shannon, a sophomore, were chosen as most valuable play- ers and won trophies. Shahe Halajian (sr.), Pete Konczylo (sr.) and Kevin Anglin (jr), along with Mike Garger (sr.) on defense as full- back and Billy Dalton (jr.) as goalie, played very well.

This year, however, due to an outstanding record of 5-0, the team was at the play-offs. There, five players won their matches. Beneficial to the team during the season were Billy Schwartz, (sr.) who played first singles and Brian Dam (sr.) playing third singles. Players who will be return- ing next year include Alex Jordan (soph.) who played sec- ond singles and the fourth singles player, Jack Somer (jr.). Each individual on the team contributed a tremendous effort as shown by their outstanding record. The team was small and very spirited. Mr. Undremer. their dedicated coach, helped the members to improve their skills and also added to their appreciation of the game. One team member said, âWe had the benefit of a coach who really knew the game.ââ Other members shared the sentiments of another who said, âThis team is the best you could be on â we had fun, plus accom- plished what no previous team did.â The team was very proud of their attainments.

This year the girls once again have earned the titles of Division and League champs, plus second place in Nassau County. For the third year in a row they have mastered first place in the X-mas Holiday Tournament by defeating the 8 best teams in Nassau. However, for the first time they have landed the 3 position out of 113 teams on Long Island. Under the direction of their coach, Mrs. Carr, Varsity finished their season with an impressive record of 21 wins and 1 loss. They remained undefeated (12-0) during their regular league games making them Division champs. Bethpage and Syosset proved to be easy wins for varsity thus giv- ing Hicksville the League 3 championship. After suc- cessfully defeating both Roslyn and Uniondale in the Nassau County Championship they found themselves on the court with Syosset for the finals. 100 minutes and 84 spikes later the game sufficed with Syosset defeating Hicksville 12-15, 15-13, 15-12. Later that same week, second place Hicksville met the 2 team of Suffolk. The girls overwhelmed Centereach and became 3 on Long Island. The Jr. varsity team for the third year in a row, have remained undefeated with an unblemished record of 10-0. Under the superb supervi- sion of Miss Feurstein and the consistent playing of Donna Blancato the Junior Varsity team showed the other schools that volleyball is our game! Peggy puts one away!

This win- ning combination enabled the team to end its season with a total ot twelve wins and six defeats. Individual recog- nition was gained by Tony Colomussi and Ray Cesare, who were voted to participate as part of the North Shore I All-League team. Cesare had led the team throughout the season in assists, while Colomussi was the leading scorer and rebounder. In general, it was an excellent season for the team, which missed making the playoffs by only one game Perhaps their greatest accomplishment was the satisfaction of defeating Herricks, the top ranked team, twice.

Later in the month Hicksville found themselves dribbling against Seaford. Donna Blanca- toâs outside shooting combined with Peggy Sticcoâs rebounding led Varsity to a major victory. Although Seaford posed many problems for Hicksville our girls hustled their oppents' offense so effectively that the final score was 57-56. Syosset was to be next in line to fall to Hicksville. But they created a concrete strategy that caused a solid 15 point gap late in the 2nd quarter. Good defense by Ellen Dickert and Lori O'Neill along with Lee Cirincion's stealing ability broke Syossetâs streak and brought Hicksville from behind 15 to a lead of 9. The game climaxed to a 59-50 score with Hick- sville defeating Syosset. At the playoffs in Clarke J.V. took a fast and sure lead early in the first quarter. Patty Rogers, Kathy Scheidel and Eilleen Rogers kept the lead for J.V. all through the game. The score was an impressive 73-56 at the end of the 4th quarter Varsity faced a tough Clarke offense, which left Hicksville fight- ing for 2nd place against Seaford. Ms. James, coach of varsity, brought out the best in her girls â always guid- ing from the sidelines, evaluating plays and, of course, winning games for Hicksville High School.

The Hicksville High wrestling team dis- played its strength and skill during the 1976-77 season. The teamâs performance in duel matches was not as outstanding as last yearâs record, because this year the team was moved up into a tougher division. Individually, the wrestlers proved that they had the determination and ability for excellence. Many injuries handicapped the team, as well as the fact that many of the wres- tlers from last yearâs squad did not return as Coach Tomaini had expected. Yet there were new athletes who came out for the team and with their help, the team took many victories away from their opponents. Many individual honors were received by members of the Hicksville High wrestling team at the division championships. Rich Panetta, a jun- ior, was named division champion in his weight class. Other honors were received at the divi- sional match, including Brian Damm, the Anglin brothers, Kevin and Donald, and Eugene Haas. I Brian Damm gains the advantage over his opposition.

Divers were Laurie Grech, Pam Herbst and Kirk Larson. Other swimmers included Ken Koneck. Vera Althaus. Nancy Harman. Carol Ann Allgeier and Eileen Yorke Under the expert coaching of Mr. Walt Olsewski, the swimmers were able to provide tough competition for opponents with long-established teams. The overall results of this team were very good, and all the team members were satisfied with surprisingly good performances, espe- cially in the Nassau County Championships and the New York State Qualifying'Meet At these meets, the participants from Hicksville did their best performances. Christopher Conboy's time for the 100 yard breaststroke was a 1:10.8. which was his best time ever swam in his high school career. Also swimming in an individual event was Mike Bradley in the 100 yard freestyle race The 400 yard freestyle relay team consisting of Craig Blake, Kevin Drummond, Ken Koneck and Mike Bradley swam a 3:55.2, their best time by far, in fact, setting a new school record Hicksvilleâs other entry in the counties and the state qualifying meets was the 200 yard medley relay team of Craig Blake. Christine Anuszewski. Chris Conboy and Kevin Drummond. Their performance was excellent. Throughout the swimming season there was great improvement and effort shown by all the swimmers on the team, and the 1976-77 season is able to be called the best season yet.

This has little bearing on our girls because Ms. Moultonâs coaching on and off the court is exemplary.

The pitching of Mary Gaffney and Carol Lagnese should provide Hicksville with proven mound ability. Optimism rests on 3rd baseman Ellen Dickert who will lend stability to the team. Hicksville can also welcome a solid defense this year, anchored by shortstop Donna Destafano. HHHH ARCHERY â Back Kathy Daller. Loreeta DeMarzo. Sue Schuler. Karen Pauly Front Fred Bur- mann.

The clubs sold Spanish lollipops and choc- olates. German candy bars and Italian sour balls. In March, all language stu- dents joined together to have an Inter- national Banquet. A small band of Hicksville High students and singing Spanish senoritas provided the enter- tainment. Food from Italy, France. Germany and Spain were served to parents, faculty and friends. Bienvenido a la club de espanol! The United Nations building and Mod- ern Museum of Art were visited by the students. For âLittle Christmasâ in January, the Spanish club invited ele- mentary school children to a Christ- mas party. Pinata breaking made the event fun. The Spanish Honor Society had the privilege of shaking the hands of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia at LaGuardia Airport. Bienveni a la France! The French club and French Honor Society went to a French opera and ballet. Their motto âNous L Pensons; Done, Nousy sommes! Welcome to the Latin club! The students washed the granite eagle at the Hicksville Train Station. They made pen-pals in European countries and from these people they learned much about Latin Heritage. Bonjourno a la Italia! The Italian club sponsored a feast featuring home made Italian desserts such as zeppoli and tortoni. In November, they went to Little Italy where they ate in Farraros, a famous pastry shop and saw the âNew York Experience.â In the spring they went to the Statue of Liberty and Museum of Immigration on Ellis Island.

These are the people who bring you the Comet Newspaper? Would you believe even the Editor has to do some work The hard working Comet editors. The student body was given the chance to express their opinions and reactions through both the Comet newspaper and Student Government. These organizations keep the student body well informed of the problems and attitudes of the students, administration and community. The âCometâ had a late start in publishing their first issue, but successfully printed eight later issues. Decemberâs 8 page issue contained critical reviews of âShowcase 76. the variety show, pictures and stories on Homecoming, and Holiday Greet- ings from various clubs. The paper with their profits was able to send three editors to the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion's Conference in November âOnly through the motivation of the individual editors and the dedication of the entire staff were we able to have such a great paperâ said Ellen Diamond, news editor. The Student Government had a very successful year. They rented a plane toting a banner for Hicksville, to fly overhead during the Homecoming game; sponsored a trip to the Circus; buses to the College Fair at the Coliseum; a Gong Show; an Innash Dance; a film festival and many other activities. Fortunately, the Student Government started fund raising early in the year with the sale of orange helium balloons at the football games, Hicksville key chains and G.O. cards. The Student Government ran under strict parliamentary procedure, and taught the students the art of working effectively together with one another. Helping Hands Hicksville High's Interact Club. Hey, Mr. Erickson, want to buy the times? The Library Club People helping other people is the purpose of many clubs. The students help the community through fund-raising events or volunteering their services. Most important of all they made people who arenât as fortunate as themselves happier. In order to perform as many community services as pos- sible, the Interact Club attended a convention of Nassau Interact clubs in November to discuss their individual clubâs plans for the year as well as learn many new ways of fund- raising. With their profits from their summer car wash and two candy sales, they took orphans from Central Nassau Childrenâs Center to Mid-Island Bowl. In December, they had a clothes drive and a Christmas party for these orphans. The Library Club had many fund raisings including the selling of the New York Times daily. They took a trip to the city in December to see âGrease,ââ the Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, Central Park and Times Square, all in a single day. The Volunteer Club brought happy moments to ill orphans. Some of the homes visited included St. Christo- phers Home, Central Island and United Presbyterian Nursing Homes where they read to the people and assisted at Nassau County Volunteer Division. Their smile and small home made toys were greatly appreciated by all. 208 CLUBS You rang9?? LIBRARY CLUB Advisor-Mr Danna President Richard Steinhauer Vice-President.

In order to be helpful to the office and guidance secretaries, students work during their free periods, and some even during their lunch period, doing odd jobs such as alphabetizing, looking up programs of different students, writing passes, sorting mail, stapling papers and many other jobs. âMy job gives me an idea of what its like when working in an office,â said Leslie Basset, main office aide. C.B. and Ham radio was a new club formed at Hicksville High. By selling T-shirts, they were able to buy a rig. The stu- dents contacted ham radio operators abroad using slang lan- guage such as âSmoky taking pictures, meaning a police- man with radar and â10-20 meaning whatâs your location. So, threes and eights to ya good buddy. 10-4. The Roundtable club, with profits from their cake sales during home basketball games, went to the United Nations Building in March. The group was involved in a discussion program at Hofstra University and had a guest speaker from a âCultural Relation with Communist Chinaâ group. Other programs included a trip to the model of the UN building at Harvard University in Boston. Besides having fun, they learned about caucusing, diplomacy, how to work in commit- tee sessions and how to work in strict parliamentary proce- dure. Leslie, inaction. Keep on filing. Jack.

Music At Its Best Many musical groups are formed of selectively talented students. Whether it is a newly formed group or an experienced one. these musicians perform successful concerts and assembly programs. Their varied music and performances made for enjoyable concerts. This year, the Chamber Players appeared on the music scene performing in varied programs. Talented sophomores, skilled, experienced seniors and an advanced junior, Jill DiDomenico made up the violin section. The combined efforts of Debby Rudoff and Laura Mulligan single out the viola section. Rich Ebler, the base player in S.W.E. keeps the beat while the cello section provides the rhythmic balance. They provided the background for the choral groups in the December winter concert as well as using technique in their baroque style music. Playing at Tri-M recitals, a nursing home and the April spring concert were also a part of their busy schedule. Marching around the football field during half-time with fancy footwork and right pinwheels were the Marching Comets. Drum Major, Tom Daly, led the band to make the perfect âH, umbrella and Mickey Mouse formations. Their schedule included attending the Hofstra Marching Band Festival in September and marching in the Memorial Day parade. Highlights of their football season featured Kentucky Fried Chicken song, Snoopy for President and a medley of Walt Disney tunes. The Madrigals, a small but outstanding vocal ensemble was directed by Mr. Goleeke. Each section must blend to evenly balance the sound. The Madrigals sang a medley of Duke Ellington favorites with the S.W.E. at the Pops Concert in November. In December they sang with the sophomore girls, advanced girls and chorale for the winter concert. They also put on a Christmas concert at the Hicksville Public Library in December. Many enjoyed the Renaissance style music at the April concert. Don't just stand there, sing something1 CLUBS 213 Our bicentennial procession. Monday morning rehearsal Happiness Is Being Creative Hicksville High provides a variety of music for listening and learning pleasure. Bands, orchestras and choruses are a major part of the student enjoyment during the day and after school, since it gives everyone in the music department a chance to become involved. Big band sounds from the Stage Band ring through the auditorium during their âSwing 'n' thingsâ concert in January and âString of Pearlsâ dance in March. Some of the musicians express themselves through jazz. Stage Band concerts fea- tured modern day folk medleys composed by Bennie Goodman and Jimmy Dorsey. Other programs included a P.T.A. assembly in February and a Nassau County Stage Band Festival workshop in the spring. Harmonizing together, the Chorale performed two concerts. During the winter concert in December the group sang âThe Twelve Days of Christmasâ and âSleep- ers Wakeâ by Bach. Their goal â âto develop a good singing style and examine as wide a range of choral music as possible . . Orchestra affords the musicians an opportunity to continue in the development of their performance skills, while exploring the standard orchestra literature. Their performance included a concert in January and June and a concert at Fork Lane Elementary School. Concert mistress, Jill DiDomenico, led the strings to distinguish the sound of the orchestra from the other musical groups in the school.

Beginning the year with the Variety Show, âShowcase 76,â they later pro- duced a senior play and musical. Showcase featured sequences from West Side Story and Cabaret. During âMein Heirâ several men from the audience joined Lauren Burwasser as Madame Branclowski in the Cabaret. The entire student body is welcome to audition for a position on cast. After many weeks of rehearsal the cast is rewarded when the applause on open- ing night fills the auditorium. For those who preferred remaining behind the spotlight there were crews backstage. Each of the eight crews added to the final production. The stage crew, con- sisting of props and construction set up the scenery before, after and dur- ing the show. One of the best parts of working on the shows was the cast party. The Thespians sponsored a trip to see Godspell in November. The turnout was exceptional and everyone enjoyed the Broadway Production. Mr Crucilla, director of the shows and advisor of the society traditionally recites a special poem on the last night of every show.

Their part of the pro- gram included such songs as âChrist- mas Songs and âBoom Chicka Boom Chicka Boom, Chick, Chickâ in Turn Back Old Man from Godspell. With their wine-colored skirts and voices both concerts were enjoyable to look at as well as to listen to. The Sophomore Mixed Chorus, with the help from lively energetic Miss Litwak, made the music fun to learn. The day after Halloween she brought in her candy and distributed it to ev- erybody in the chorus. Unfortunately she didnât have enough so some peo- ple got more than others. Because of the proportion of guys to girls, the ten- ors and basses worked harder than the sopranos and altos. Some songs in their December concert were âBridge Over Troubled Water and âDance Allejuah. Their next concert was in April. The sophomore girls' chorus learned the required music quickly because Miss Litwak was able to get their attention. Their two concerts were in December and April.

Tri-M also sponsored five students to go to the All-State Conference held in New York in November Concert Band strived to perfect various musical compositions for their winter and spring concerts. Featured in their January con- cert were âFestivoâ and Prelude and Fugueâ by Bach. The band earned a high grade at NYSSMA in June based on how well they played their caliber of music.

They were successful in fulfilling all goals set. The Ecology Club ran paper and alumi- num drives the third Saturday of every month. They planted a small forest behind the barn at H.H.S. and restored an empty lot with the beauty of flowers. On Veteransâ Day the nature lovers of the club took a hike in Harriman State Park.

After raising money from a jewelry sale the club ran ski trips almost every Sunday. To get to the ski resorts a three hour bus trip was required. Martin Schneider, president of the Ski Club, said that the bus rides were the best part of the trips. On the slopes members concentrated on their styles in order to progress to more difficult runs. After the long day which began at 5:30 A.M., the skiers had only two wishes; sleep and a warm bath to soothe their aching muscles. 223 s cfenf HEAL TH CAREERS CL UB Advisor Mr Ferri President: David Niebuhr, Vice President.

The films are shown to the rest of the student body for a minimal admission fee. The money raised from these showings was used to buy new equipment. One overwhelmingly popular organization was the Math Team. Because of the enormous turnout, two teams had to be formed. One was comprised solely of juniors and the other included both seniors and sophomores. Meetings were held every Tuesday where the teams tried to perfect their skills in algebra, geometry and trigonometry. The two teams victoriously competed against Holy Trinity High School and Plainview J.F.K.

Say cheese1 The Comet's staff. âMy goal is to produce the best yearbook, a well liked yearbook, a book which combines the skills of many students,â said James Tenner, editor-in-chief of the Comet 77 Yearbook. The editors and staff of this book spent many relentless hours preparing the layouts for production. Deadlines meant anxi- ety to all involved, but also a fun time, a time which shall never be forgotten. The big munchouts while working, the pain of a blistered typewriter finger, the agony of aligning the cropping ruler, and eating pickles while writing copy. The yearbook staff took much pride in their office, the Comet room. During Christmas time the staff decorated the room with a pink tree and a menorah. The staff used the room as a place to hang-out and many people donated posters to better the appearance of the room as well as trying to kidnap Mr. Munchâs chair. Many meetings were held for the editors of the book. At the first meeting, the theme of individuality was agreed upon, although many editors felt âmotor oilâ was more appropriate. This meeting also included the rare delicacy of cremated hot- dogs. The second meeting the staff had a guest speaker, Mr. Phil St. Pierre, and the staff was so enthralled by what he said that the meeting seemed to end before it began. Mr. St. Pierre did return for another talk. Under the leadership of editor James Tenner and with the help of advisor, Mr. Richard Halowitch, the staff feels that the book has truly been worth all the agony that went into its production. . . .

Wearing black and orange A.V. tee shirts, they busied themselves with âShore Mixersâ and âGBC camerasâ in their second floor office. âDadâ Sparr answered all of their questions while adding bits of advice.

Variety Show 250 After the eighth period bell rings students can be seen rushing to buses and dashing away in cars. For some students school is far from over. Class begins all over again in the form of rehearsals, club meetings, dances, or concerts. Why are extra- curricular activities so popular in Hicksville High School? The answer is hard to find. 234 HIGHLIGHTS Perhaps there is more involved with an education than books, tests, and notes. Through activities students learn that there is more to life than memorizing a2 + b2 = c2. Then what else is there to learn? Activities create a world where students may learn the importance of each individual in the accomplishment of a common goal. And just maybe we can realize the value of ourselves. HIGHLIGHTS 235 Football Comets Come Home With A 20-20 Tie l I The most beautiful dames of Hicksville High Nancy Oates crowned queen Chris Coietta and his friends. 236 HIGHLIGHTS Frank Principe doing his dance Singing in a victory. Playing Games Homecoming was held on October 23rd with the Comets playing the Oceanside Sailors. Hicksville scored first with a twenty yard pass completion from Bob McAuley to John Bergen. Oceanside then came back and scored two touchdowns to make the score 14-6. Ocean- side then scored again to make the score 20-6. The Com- ets came back in the third quarter with a 28 yard touch- down pass to Kevin Miller. Then at the end of the fourth quarter Bob McAuley completed a 73 yard touchdown pass to John Bergen to tie the game at 20-20. This was the first time in almost ten years that the Comet football team even came close to winning Homecoming. Congrat- ulations, Comets. The highlight of half-time was the crowning of Home- coming Queen. Nominations were held in school with Roseann Curcio, Donna Hess, Donna Johnson, Mary McGowan, and Nancy Oates being nominated. With the final votes in Nancy Oates was crowned Homecoming Queen. Nancy took the traditional drive around the sta- dium with the traditional cat calls and whistling in the background. Student Government should be thanked for supplying an airplane brandishing the slogan, âComets â sink the sailors. The stunt really instilled spirit within the crowd. Excuse me. Happy birthday to you . HIGHLIGHTS 237 Let Them Entertain You The ravishing Coquettes Marching Comets playing some tunes Marching Music The Marching Comets, under the direction of Don Larsen, is a hard work- ing organization comprised of members of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. The Marching Comets practice twice a week during the football season. Even in the freezing cold weather, drum major Tom Daly lead marching band in hours of practice. The band was a great promoter of enthusiasm throughout the entire foot- ball season. Hicksville High School contributed to the bi-centennial in the formation of the Fife and Drum Corps under drum major Chris Conboy. The drum corps enter- tained the crowd during half-time in bringing back the history of our country. The Sophomore float enjoying an Oceanside sailor dinner 238 HIGHLIGHTS Floats And Kickers Homecoming festivities began days before the actual game. Students from all three classes assembled together in com- petition for the best float. The Senior class won with a steamship wearing the slogan, âsteam over the Sailors. The Junior float was a giant wave with the slo- gan, sink the Sailors.â The Sophomore float was a shark eating up a sailor. Sen- ior class president Mike Caruso accepted the trophy for the senior class. Everyone who worked on the floats put a lot of effort in which was deeply appreciated. Another half-time tradition is the dancing Coquettes. They not only dance at football games but at basketball games as well. The girls put in many hours after school in order to perfect their precision dancing. They are a beautiful sight to see and all of us loved seeing them.

Sophomore class â It was unfortunate that this yearâs Sophomore Hop, Wishing on a Rainbow was forced into retirement due to lack of interest. However, under the direction of Mr. Criscolo and Soph, class president Wendy Wertherson, the Soph, class was able to raise some money from the sale of coasters and candles. Hopefully this money might be used towards a class picnic or car wash if any interest is aroused. Junior class â The highlight of the junior year in Hicksville High School is the Junior Prom. This yearâs Prom was held in the Galaxie catering hall on April 29th. At this point the junior class plans to hold a folk concert with the aid of their class advisor, Mr. OâDoherty. President Sue Flana- gan, along with the rest of her fellow eleventh graders, was excited about the arrival of class rings and a success- ful candy-jewelry sale. All the seniors can say is good luck next year. Junior class officers â Sue Flanagan. Jill DiDomenico, Rich Pinetta. and Tracy Haas HIGHLIGHTS 241 The Gong Show That Should Have Been Gonged The fearless judges The closer she gets On January 13 Student Govern- ment brought the Gong Show to the fabulous stage of Hicksville High School. The show was too much of a success, attracting an overflow crowd, overflowing into the lobby and into the street. The show was M.C.âd by Mr. McGinnis who had the audience roll- ing in the aisles, whether he wanted it or not. Mr. Redegan, Mr. Lieber, Mr. Guccione, and Mrs. Jonason were chosen as the expert judges. The acts themselves werenât exactly profes- sional, but they were far from dull. Rich Pinetta in a coconut brazier, three weirdoâs on roller skates, and Mike Caruso playing the guitar, you just donât see every day. Lisa Danchig won all the money with an original song. The crowd was a little rowdy, but the show was a gala event. Charlie. Scott, and Marty; it takes guts. Get a load of those coconuts i Introducing: Carey and Denise Cute, ainât I? Live on stage, âLa Tuna. On March 11th the Hicksville High foreign lan- guage department presented the âInternational Ban- quet. The menu included mouss au chocolat and coq au vin from the french kitchen. The majority of the entertainment was provided by a musical organization, ââLa Tuna. The guest list included our principal Mr. Rush and Mrs. Galante, head of the foreign language department. The French, German, Latin, and Spanish clubs worked hard in rewarding their guests with a lav- ish meal. International Banquet HIGHLIGHTS 243 Music In Our School Sing along with Miss Litwak. The music department of Hicksville High School is constantly active giving performances in and out of the school. This yearâs winter concert presented the choral groups such as Madrigals, Chorale, and Sophomore Girlâs chorus. Symphonic Wind Ensem- ble made a success of the Pops concert in the beginning of the year. During this concert the Madri- gal Singers sang along with Symphonic under the conduction of Mr. Goleeke. Other concerts during the year included Concert Band, Orchestra, and the Chamber Players. Dave Gaudio serenading his microphone. The Madrigal singers. 244 HIGHLIGHTS Louis Armstrong, look out!

For fund raising the class sold mugs, bottons, and T-shirts. The Senior class was also able to present a âSenior Concertâ featuring an imitation âBeatlesâ group â âSmyle.â Seniors exhibited immense spirit in the form of attendance at school functions and involvement in school activities. The highlight of the year was the Senior Ball held on June 11 th at the Colonie Hill. HIGHLIGHTS 247 Senior Trip â What A Squirt i Hi' yyjiMii in. The beautiful Capitol building. Hicksvilles contribution to the Tomb of the unknown soldier. Alright, give me the water gun. On March 24, 25, and 26 our nation's capitol was invaded by 300 hungry seniors packing water pistols and shaving cream. The trip was very educational, students learned how to budget their time; balloons at twelve o'clock and buckets at two oâclock. The main part of the trip wasnât spent in the motel room, stu- dents were kept busy to keep them out of trouble. On arrival in Washington on Thursday, students visited the Capitol and the Lin- coln Memorial. After an elaborate dinner at a local cafeteria all stu- dents took a boat ride on the Potomac for their dancing pleasure. The next morning students showered off the shaving cream and dashed off to Williamsburg, before which they drank their eggs for breakfast. Then back to the motel for an enjoyable production of Man of LaMancha. Water fights continued until the next morning where the seniors visited the Arlington National Cemetery where class president Mike Caruso and Vice pres. Mary McGowan placed a ceremonial wreath on the Tomb of the unknown soldier. The enthusiasm of this yearâs senior class can be seen in the 300 people who attempted the trip. The Senior Trip was a great experience, both educationally and socially, no one should have missed it. Shaving cream shampoo by Gucci. 248 HIGHLIGHTS John Hughes and George Geslein.

This yearâs Variety Show, Show- case, was held on December 9, 10, 11. Directed by Mr. Crucilla, the show was an indisputable success. Many weeks of hard work were necessary to assemble this fine production. The stage manager, Charlie Mannheimer, supervised the smooth running of all the crews and Rosanne Ausiello, stu- dent director, aided cast members in their performance. Showcase was comprised of musical numbers from various broad- way shows and other sources. The first act featured Matt Capelli in scenes from âJesus Christ Superstar.â Matt moved the audience to tears in one of the better numbers of the show, âOn the Willows.â Other leading perform- ers include Dave Gaudio in the âBuzz,â Hope Hirsch in âCabaret,â and Lisa Danchig in âAmerica.â The second act included a live band on stage who provided the music for the large dance numbers, âLead Boots,â and âChina Grove,â choreo- graphed by Lynn Cahalan.

In front of elaborate arches, magnificient performances were given by Dave Gaudio as Macbeth, and Joyce Shoenbaum as Lady Macbeth. In Tam- ing of the Shrew Sue Maiers showed us the true devilish character of Kate the cursed.â The highlight of the evening featured Marcy Kammerman and Charles Guerra as Romeo and Juliet. The fabulous Tomb scene will be remembered as one of the best performances ever given on the Hicksville High School stage Crew was handled quite ably by stage manager, Vinny Fallacara. In charge of cast was Hope Hirsch, student director. Thanks to all, Shakespeare himself would have been proud. HIGHLIGHTS 253 âą Speaking out âą Speaking out âą Spea 3 O o c (0 0 o. ( a Ranking System 3 o O) c (0 a a a 3 O o c 0 a a Class rank and class average are the two most important criteria upon which colleges select their students. Due to the importance of a studentâs rank to his or her college I feel that the ranking system of Hicksville High School should be examined. First, the courses which are included in the ranking. Many students have marks in their class average from as far back as seventh or eighth grade. At this level a student is neither aware that his aca- demic success has any influence on his future nor is he concerned with college. Is it lair to have a studentâs performance judged at the age of twelve? Secondly, the problems of âhonorsâ courses. Unlike many other schools Hick- sville does not curve or reevaluate the grades of âhonorâ students due to the increased difficulty factor involved in an âhonors course.â Why should a âregentsâ student be ranked higher than an âhonors studentâ just because he's taking an easier course? I feel that a new system of evaluating grades must be worked out. Both admin- istrative and student organizations should put the question on top of their agenda for the new year, and come up with a more equitable means of ranking stu- dents. Apathy As 1976 winds down to a close, it's time to take a hard look at the past year. What have we done as a nation? We have celebrated our 200th anniversary in grand fashion as well as landed two spacecrafts on Mars. 1976 has been the election of a southern peanut farmer to the office of president and myriad other accomplishments. But what has this commu- nity, this town, this school, done concerning community service? The answer, nothing. It is time that the people of Hicksville begin to acknowledge the existence of people less for- tunate than us. Recently the student government entered a contest designed to promote school interest in community affairs. Obviously student gov- ernment cannot work alone in preparation for the contest. As the holiday season approaches thoughts are turned toward aid- ing those of our neighbors who are less fortu- nate. I propose that the students should become involved and help student govern- ment participate in the High School of the year competition The spirit of giving and sharing is one which should not be considered only at Christmas time. Garbage It is unbelievable that something that no one ever thinks about can cause so much trouble. Iâm talking about garbage. As it is known, due to pressure from the community, especially those people who live on Halsey Avenue, Hicksville High School almost under- took closed campus policy. It is so easy when you go out to lunch to throw your garbage in a proper receptacle, but it wasn't being done. Thanks to student government action was taken to remedy and calm the situation to where the community has forgotten about it. We always hear advertising against littering and pollution; I think for once we should listen to them. 254 HIGHLIGHTS ) out âą Speaking Vandalism Unforuntately something new has been added to Hicksville High â significant vandal- ism. In the middle of the year a few students broke into classrooms vandalizing typewriters, computers, and class records. I find this to be a horrendous crime but due to laws regulating minors, little could be done to punish the van- dals. Such equipment as typewriters are essentially important to a high school and to deliberately destroy them for no reason is total lunacy. If only these crazy kidsâ would think before they acted maybe they would think twice about destroying a valuable piece of property which might take years to replace. I hope that this new attraction to Hicksville does not last. When Is Homeroom? When we came into school this year we found that homeroom had been scheduled before first period, instead of after, as had been the practice in previous years. This meant that the students who lived close to the school or owned a car couldnât come to school late because of a special during first period before homeroom. I really donât understand the change and I wish I had it explained to me. Not having to wake up at 8:00 in the morning is definitely a benefit which I will dearly miss. Where Do We Go? Have you noticed more people sitting with their legs crossed? Perhaps youâve seen students walking with short steps and breath- ing deeply? In any case, these are just a few symptoms of a disease now frequenting the halls of Hicksville High. This illness being referred to is the result of the lock-happy rest- room attendants. A student with a bloated bladder must locate a bathroom which offers an open door policy. Although many people claim this treat- ment is a governmental plan designed to increase bladder strength in case of war with the communists, reliable sources say that the closed door policy is mere torture. out âą Speaking out âą ( ) â o D a 7T HB 3 CD O C Poles In the beginning of March our princi- pal Mr. Rusch allocated over one thou- sand dollars for the implantation of metal poles in the student-faculty parking lot. The original design had a mere double yellow line indicating the area where stu- dents weren't allowed to park. Now there are poles present where the line is inscribed. The question now arises, why were the poles put in just after money was spent on speed bumps to stop people from speeding in the parking lot where now you cannot drive through? The answer given by the administration was inadequate. They said it was to prevent any more vandalism and to promote seg- regation in parking. I donât see where the vandalism comes in and I donât under- stand where all of a sudden this parking problem arose from. What I can see is money spent need- lessly, promotion of fire hazards, increased friction between students and administration, and lack of proper plan- ning. Now I no longer wonder why no one was aware that the poles were going to be put in, not even the Board of Educa- tion.

The crowd was pleased to hear the Silver Strings, a small group of Hicksville High violin players. Although the dance catered to the âolderâ crowd many students came and danced to the Big Band Sound.

Congratulations to Our Former Students 516â938-1137 Miss Joyce Director MID ISLAND TIMES Your Local Newspaper Published in Hicksville Best Wishes to the Class of 1977 ADS 287 DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUâRE GOING? Look around you. How many people in your class seem to be working toward something? How about you -are you just letting it all happen, and vaguely hoping that things will work out well for you, or are you trying to exercise some control over your life? Think about the happiest, most suc- cessful men and women you know, or have heard about. How many of them do you think got there just waiting to get lucky? Sure, luck has a lot to do with it. But thereâs a lot of truth in the famous comment: âThe harder I worked, the luckier I got.'' You've got to be ready for luck when it happens. You canât plan your life step by step. (What a drag it would be, if you could.) But you can decide what you really care about. Not what other people say is important, but what you, privately, know is important -for you. Donât talk about it, don't try to hook your friends on it, but keep your eye on it-particularly when you have a decision to make. You earn a little extra spending money. Decision: Do you spend it just because itâs there-even though thereâs nothing you really want to spend it on -or do you save it so youâll be ready when something important comes along? Luck. An opportunity. An idea. A chance at what you really care about. Look around you again. How many in your class have savings accounts? How many know how easy it is to start one? (You can do it by mail, with as little as Sl- one dollar-and every dollar you save will be worth more, a lot more, when you need it for something you care about.) Most young people think that banks are big, rich, cold, stone buildings run by big, rich, stone-cold bankers. Wrong. Banks exist to help people-rich people, poor people and people just starting out. Weâre here to help you - with a savings account, a student loan for college, a free checking account, money to buy a house or to improve your home, low cost life insurance, a retirement fund for later on. When you're 18 or 20, these things seem a long way off. But the older you get, the faster they come. And the sooner you start getting ready for them, the luckier youâll be. Thatâs a fact.
