The fashions and songs of yester- years have recaptured nostalgic memories of a by-gone era. Although we cannot by any means call our days in Huntington High School an “era”, we have many pleasant memories to look back upon. The Huntingtonian is presented with the hope that the Class of ‘48 will find mirrored in its pages recollections, long to be remembered, of its high school years. b) + Uedication E dedicate the 1948 Huntingtonian to Mr. Cushman. His friendliness, his willingness to help at all times and his inimitable sense of humor are just a few of the many likable qualities that make us think so highly of him.

Executive Council 44 PUHE first meeting of the Executive Council was called to order by James Valentine on Wednesday, September week, each month of the year, ran the minutes of the Executive Council, read by Secretary Ingeli Vietor. Aside from their usual tasks of authorizing bills to be paid, sponsoring clubs, providing G.O. dances and buses for “away” sports events, this organization rebuilt the empty G.O. treasury through a Curtis Magazine campaign that netted the school $571. Other items on the agenda were the securing of permission for the Masque production to be presented two evenings, instead of the usual one, and the mid-year election of two new officers, John O’Brien, as representative-at- large and Stan Hamilton as second vice-president. Altogether it was a fruitful and busy year for the members of our Execu- tive Council. a and so on through each Huntingtonian O doubt either you or your friends have been accosted by an individual who has immediately showered you with questions concerning your personal and private lives: “What are your likes, dislikes and outside inter- ests?—Have you held any offices?—Do you belong to any clubs?” One soon discovers that this person is neither a curious schoolmate, nor a representative from the Gallup Poll, but just another Huntingtonian member working on senior writeups. Each Huntingtonian member is chosen and appointed to one of three dif- ferent staffs—literary, business or art, all of which have their own innumer- able tasks to perform. These groups are under the sponsorship of Miss Cash- man, Miss Andrews and Mr. Link, respectively. With Pat Mitchell as editor, the weekly Friday afternoon meetings have buzzed with activity and with suggestions for the forthcoming book. We hope you like it!

Why, the Art Service Club of course! It is one of the most active organizations in Huntington High and under Mr. Link's expert guidance is ready to help any “deserving person” in distress. The biggest job of the year was the scenery needed for the Masque play. But did that daunt our young Rembrandts? No, certainly not. They gathered their trusty paint brushes and tackled the job. As you all know, they were successful. An active, well-run organization, the Art Service Club welcomes all new members, for they manage very capably to mix hard work with a lot of fun . Service With A Smile HESE are the girls who serve us all. They're kept busy with different q eee all year long. Sponsoring the Thanksgiving program, man- aging the Red Cross and Clothing drives—these are just a few of their many projects. Thursday afternoons are busy ones in 308 with Miss Coleman, the sponsor, and President Joyce Baumer outlining some new work or reporting on business completed. The girls you see sitting at the desk in the main hall during the day are Arista members on hall hostess duty. They assist visitors to the school in finding their way about the building. Every year at the beginning of the fall semester new pledges are accepted for Arista. These girls spend the best part of a year on probation before they become full-fledged members. The girls in those crazy outfits we saw tramping through the halls a few months ago were new pledges suffering their informal initiation, Arista stands for Scholarship, Sportsmanship and Service. Its members carry out all three—with a smile!

The Lowdown Un High Lights ATE afternoon in the library is the time and place for most of the Hunting- ton High's journalistic efforts. The noise of the typewriter keys coupled with the chattering of the staff provides a not altogether too business-like “news-room” atmosphere—Questions fly back and forth—such as— Are we running this feature in the next issue?’’—'’What's the count on this headline?” or—'’ Who wrote the story on the last game?” Despite the fact that the Editor-in- Chief runs a definite risk of turning prematurely gray, Dick rises above his difficulties in grand style. Since its founding only two years ago, High Lights has come far towards becoming a topnotch publication. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Lynch and Mr. Badura and with some helpful pointers obtained at a Syracuse press conference, it has improved greatly and become one of the best school papers in the county. Oit Back... Relax... and Listen HE spotlight gleams on Charlie’s trumpet. . . . Peggy tinkles the piano | ea and the drums keep a soft rhythm in the background... . Magical strains of “Embraceable You” fill the auditorium as Bob steps from the cur- tains and tells us to sit back, relax and listen. . . . The show is on! It is often said that two heads are better than one. The 9 O'clock Club be- lieves that eight heads are even better, so all the emcees (Jane Finley, Joan Ann Caffrey, Betty Fillekes, Celia Pagano, Wally Wells, Tom Schafer, Henry Gutersohn, and Bob Gordon) combined their talents, to present something new in entertainment at Huntington High. Who can ever forget the time “R. L. Simpson's Scandals” brought vaude- ville back to Huntington, with. ‘‘Duchess Mahoney”, Yodeler of the Yukon and Darling of the Klondike, and her Flora-Dora Girls? Who could keep a straight face when Bob “Mighty Mouse” Gordon emceed the ‘’Truth or I’m Sorry’ quiz program?

Headed by president, Mary Anderson, vice-president Nick Markoff, secretary Nina Demchuk, and representative John Hendriksen, the members work with problems of many kinds, both practical and fantastic. The big event of the year, the participation of three delegates in the Pi Mu Epsilon Interscholastic Mathematics Contest at N.Y.U., was held on March 13th. The annual Christmas party luckily took place before the ‘Blizzard of ‘47’ and was different in that non-members were allowed as guests. The picnic in June was another non-mathematical event that the Math Club looked forward to. BReel-Aunners ELDOM do you see the movie-projector fail, or the quality of tone and the C sharpness of the picture fade. Perhaps this is due to the expert training that the fellows who operate the machines receive. Every boy must pass stiff tests on each piece of equipment before he is allowed to operate it. On completion of the tests he is given a license and the initiation. All the school is grateful for the services of our projection squad. 12 RADIO Standing—Ted Sammis, Mr. Baty, James Valentine, Mr. Raymond Carle, Frank Eckert.

Come In Station We WLU. 66g TRANGE noises echo from the darkness.” No, it isn't the supernatural, C but merely Mr. Baty’s Radio Club, practicing sending and receiving on their club-built 10-watt transmitter. Every Wednesday night these would-be “hams” gather around their equipment to study the intricacies of radio sets, and to improve their Morse Code sending speed. Far into the night they stand by, ready to intercept or transmit messages over the Island's ether. For almost two years now, the Club has been sponsored by the G.O., and supported by the more devoted radio fans in the school. Members even include a few repairmen from Huntington. Science “Chain Gang’ HIS group of students composed of members of the Physics, Chemistry, ae Biology classes, helps out in the laboratories doing demonstrations, setting up experiments and keeping track of materials. There are usually two lab assistants at a time who serve for a period of six weeks. These crews get important training in lab procedure. All in all, work is combined with pleasure. 13 Que dites-vous! ARLEZ-VOUS francais? Oui, mademoi- Baie So speak the French club members every second Monday of the month. With the business meeting over, the group has fun testing one another's knowl- edge of simple French with little games and puzzles, A trip to New York to see a French movie and plans for “adopting’’ a French child were the two largest items on the agenda for this year.

Ladies of the Library EADED by Miss Kingston, this club meets every other Wednesday morn- ing. Where?—Why in the library, of course. By taking over the desks during study halls, checking books out, signing passes and distributing magazines, the girls help Miss Kingston and become potential librar- ians. What else did these busy gals do? Re- member the ‘Book Fair'’? Books from many different publishing companies were dis- played in the library, and the event was a huge success. Town Criers UNNING around hurriedly Friday mornings, these ‘‘cub reporters’ gather the latest news for the three local town papers, fresh from assemblies, club elec- tions, or similar H.H.S. events. Under the admirable leadership of Miss Wyeth, they easily meet their Monday morning dead- line, reporting all of the school activities to the people of Huntington. A special “field trip” is their reward at the end of the year.

ES, that’s the Commercial Club, helping girls to be super-secretaries. Reor- ganized this year with Isabel Vickers as president, and Mary Launi as vice-president and Lucy Guigliano as secretary-treasurer, this club, now only four years old and un- der the sponsorship of Miss Hale, meets once each month. Guest speakers, as well as visiting various places in New York and Huntington (Equitable Life Insurance Co. and The Long Islander), top the list of ac- tivities. Take a letter, Miss... . Thespians NCE more, Troupe 603 of the National [] Thespian Dramatic Society was on the job defending the prized ten points which gained the members their initiation. Work- ing not only as a part of the cast, but also behind the scenes—on props or advertising —Thespians have provided a nucleus for directing many Masque activities—and adding to their own knowledge of “le drame”. Pros and Cons 46 QON'T forget Forum tonight,” Miss Tay- I] lor aptly reminds her classes every other Monday. When the next meeting rolls around, will the subject be “rising prices” or “world government’? Each week an im- portant topic stirs the opinions of its avid members; special reports arouse interest; then a stimulating discussion follows. It voices are raised too high, President Jim Kurt steps up to tone them down. THESPIANS Left to Right—Miss Bannister, Jeanne Ludeman, Sue Quinn, Ernie Milliken, Harriette Meyers, Joan Caffrey, Carmella Pillucere. Melody Lane : NYONE musically inclined is sure to find his or her best field, be it singing A in the chorus or playing in the band or the orchestra. Mellow strains floating from the auditorium during the seventh and eighth periods are evi- dence of practice by the orchestra. Under Mr. Doty’s direction the members work hard with results that make very easy, pleasant listening. The concert presented last April was evidence of these musicians’ talent. This year has really been a busy one for our fine chorus, Also directed by Mr. Doty, this group has not only presented us here at school with some excellent programs, but it has done a lot of work outside of school. The first program of Thanksgiving songs was followed by an engagement to sing at the Baptist Church. The Christmas season ushered in a new schedule of events including a Christmas program here, carolling from the Central Church and an invitation to sing at the Rotary Club. After the holidays the next date on the calendar of events for these busy songsters was to sing at Madison Square Garden. Between halves of a basketball game, the spectators were serenaded by Huntington High’s own chorus. Some excellent singing by this group was included in the April concert. Sharing the musical spotlight with the orchestra and the chorus is our school band. Under the direction of Mr. Kern, this group has played at many assemblies. Merete’s welcoming program, the American Legion Oratorical Contest and the concert in April number among their performances. On Memorial Day Huntington High was well represented by the parading band members in their snappy blue and white uniforms. Can you hear strains from a Sousa march? That's the band practicing for their next performance. It's sure to be a good one!

HAT was the most important phrase in the lives of the cast of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” For two months these Masque members lived, ate and slept with a little yellow book and visions of flappers. On March 14, the fateful night, they donned their grease paint with far from steady hands and marched out bravely to meet the world across the footlights. Under the direction of Miss Bannister, assisted by Elaine Taylor and Lorinda Woodlief, the gay era of 1920 was relived. From out of the wings appeared the flam- boyant Cornelia Otis Skinner in the person of Joan Ann Caffrey and the lovable, naive Emily Kimbrough interpreted by Barbara Grey. Tom Schafer stepped on, the sarcastic Otis Skinner, accompanied by Virginia Viste, his charming wife. We found, hunting a pair of mysteriously missing shoes, Mar- tin Grosz and John Hendriksen as Dick and Leo, the young Harvard medi- cal students. When the curtain rang down, we were all bluntly dropped into the world of 1948. 18 ATHLETICS Back Row, Left to Right—Jack Kliesrath, Henry Gutersohn, Fred Haseney, Scott Drummond, Jim Conroy, Donald Stukalo, Bob Schultise.

Carry That Ball LTHOUGH the 1947 football season pro- A duced no spectacular record of games won, it did produce a lot of good playing and many thrills for the spectators. Fum- bles prevented the H.H.S. eleven from out- pointing Babylon in the first gridiron tussle this year. Paul Bennett, our crashing half- back, scored after recovering a blocked kick, but Huntington later fumbled twice on the one-yard line, ruining their chances to forge ahead. The final score was tied at 6 to 6. The Amityville game was almost a repe- tion of the Babylon game with the exception of the score: Huntington 6, Amityville 16. The Bluedevils halted their unlucky streak by beating Lindenhurst 13-0. Beland and Lyes both charged through the tackle slot to score the touchdowns. Bay Shore quickly took the Bluedevils’ heads from the clouds with a trouncing of 25 to 0. After a bad first half at Sayville, during which the Sayville eleven tallied three touchdowns, our team 20 was sparked back by versatile Johnny O’Brien’s two scoring dashes through left tackle. However, the game ended a heart- breaker for Huntington when time ran out, leaving the Bluedevils trailing, 20 to 12. On the day after Halloween, Huntington knocked off Patchogue. George Lyes, al- though injured in a previous game, scored the first touchdown and set up the second. Milt Beland followed suit to give the Blue- devils a 13 to 6 victory. The Port Jefferson game was called because of the weather. The South Huntington squad was almost annihilated by a Huntington team consisting of both varsity and jayvee material. The jayvee touchdowns were: Petrone 2, and Timmy Smith 1. The varsity: Milt Beland 3, Johnny O’Brien 1, Jim Conroy 1 and Charlie Johnson 1. Final score 56-0. Thus ended the season. Won 3, lost 3, tied 1. Hats off to a hard fighting team which took its bumps standing up. Standing, Left to Right—Coach Kubisa, Martin Adelman, Bob Mackin, Hugo Pearson, Irving Berry, Paul Langhans, Wally Wells, Manager Ed Hyne. Sitting, Left to Right—Dick Gardner, Frank Roschnotti, Charles Johnson, Johnny O’Brien, Bill Hartman, ‘‘Lefty’’ Cody, Rudy DeRiso, Ted LaMay. Hail The Conquering Heroes OACH KUBISA, with his lucky tie and skull cap, sparked the Bluedevils to a surprising finish. Although rated as a sixth place team by the Suffolk County “experts”, the Hoopers from Huntington came out on top with a league record of eight wins and no defeats. Lefty Cody, who averaged 10.2 points per game, thrilled many a spectator with his dead-eye set shooting. Willy Hart- man and Charlie Johnson had their oppo- nents baffled with expert ball handling and tricky pivot plays, while captain John O’Brien skillfully controlled the back board. As we look over the records, Hunting- ton won over Lindenhurst, Patchogue and Port Jefferson easily. In the Port Jeff game the first five went to the showers at the third quarter while the second and third strings kept the score soaring. Final score 50-17. Next came Bay Shore and Sayville. Although both were rated to win, the Blue- devils gave them both their worst defeats 21 of the season, with scores of 39-26, 36-29, respectively. Northport was taken over by Huntington 45-31, but the worst enemy was yet to come, Babylon! Also undefeated at the time, this team rolled into Huntington expecting to make it an easy win. Up through the last second it was either team’s game. As the buzzer sounded, the Hunting- ton cheering section all but lifted the roof of the gym. Huntington 24, Babylon 22. The last league game with Amityville was an easy victory for the Bluedevils, and insured the Western Suffolk title for Huntington. Our team then went on to win the all-Suf- folk Championship by downing Riverhead with a score of 38 to 25. With next year’s squad, captained by Willy Hartman, including Dick Gardner, Frank Roschnotti, both Charlie and Bob Johnson, and Bob Cozzette, all veterans of this season, the chances of again securing the title are quite promising. Next Stop — Forest Hills? 44 J{ DD OUT!” “Your serve—Net ball”. A This is some of the familiar jargon heard on the tennis courts every Monday and Friday when the boys meet to play and practice. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Granger, the team, including many newcomers as well as Dick Koons, Karsten Styhr, Ralph Williams, Billy Monroe and Eugene La- Brague from last year’s squad, organized four at home and four away games. Omash Hits ITH the arrival of the first robin in W spring comes talk of baseball. Whether it be sand lot or big league games, throughout the country this sport occupies the minds of everyone. Here in Suffolk, all eyes focus on he Huntington Bluedevils. Led by Captain Stan Hamilton and Frank Roschnotti, the only members of the start- ing nine left, Huntington surprised all on- comers. Though lacking experienced pitchers, the Class-men pulled through, thrilling the spec- tators on the hill.

The gun's off and here they come. ji As they flash by, we realize what a top- notch track team means. young men circle the tracks for hours every afternoon under the watchful eye of Mr. Marlowe, the coach. They throw the discus, put the shot, broadjump and pole vault. They run miles, half miles, quarter miles, 220 yard dashes and 100 yard dashes as well as hurdles and relay races.

The J.V.’s started the season off well by beating Babylon, 6 to 0. Amityville and Lin- denhurst were also easy victories, and Hunt- ington marched into Bay Shore an unde- feated team. Bay Shore was still undefeated at this time, but after many a thrilling play, Huntington emerged with a 7 to 6 victory. Sayville and Patchogue then proved to be unequal to the task of knocking off Hunt- ington. The J.V.’s aided the varsity in scoring against South Huntington. The final score was 96 to 0, 18 points of which they scored Just Another Mile Hesses a sport can sometimes be disastrous.

TS JUNIOR OFFICERS Left to Right—Billy Monroe, president; Diana Katnack, secretary; Ralph Williams, treasurer; Ethel Smith, vice-president. $oon-to-he-Seniors T hardly seems as if we've been here two I whole years. From the first few thrilling days when we were “on review” for the rest of the school, to our dreamy good-bye prom for the seniors, we've been “busy little bees, making every minute count.” During our Sophomore year we elected an able slate of officers—Bill Monroe, President, Elizabeth Darling, Vice-President, and Allen Brush, Representative to Executive Council. We swelled the ranks of clubs and after- school sport s enthusiasts. Our Junior year was launched with a twenty-one-gun salute when we voted in Bill Monroe as President once again, Ethel Smith, Vice-President, Diana Katnack, Secretary, and Ralph Williams, Treasurer. Our major project was money-raising, with an eye toward making that Junior Prom such a gay affair. Just everybody turned out for “Junior Varieties of 1947, where we munched popcorn and applauded wildly for the many versatile performers. Willingly we sacrificed our last precious pennies in order to pay Junior dues. More Junior class members have acted in Masque plays, written for ‘High Lights,” played on the football and basketball teams, attended dances, cheered loudly at the games, participated in assemblies, and in general been indispensable, than ever be- fore. No other class can make this statement. A valuable new club—the S.1.5.S.H.H.S.— was established, with Juniors taking an ac- tive part in the club’s activities. And we can't forget those Arista pledges’ bathing caps! Altogether, it was a year packed with fun and accomplishments, and one we'll never, never forget. But wait! How about a look into the near future? This coming year is bound to be a memorable one in Huntington High, with so many outstanding people in so many diverse activities. It will be a happy day when we, as Seniors, take our places in the balcony of the auditorium. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right—James Mastroianni, president; George Wild, vice-president; Louise Ortolani, secretary; David Howell, treasurer. Johnny-Come-Latelys” E just can't believe the time has flown W.. fast. We just can’t. It seems as if only yesterday morning we arrived and the comments were something like this: “Well, here we are! Goodness kids, the boards don't creak as they said they would. But look at that maze of rooms and all those new faces. How shall we get to know every- one?” We had come to high school bringing a wonderful record with us. No one will ever forget the production of H.M.S. Pinafore put on by our class. Louise Ortolani and Charlie Walthers, winners of the musical scholar- ships, were soon appearing on the Nine O'clock Club. Marion Bloch had won the Me- morial Award and Dorothy Petchler the Social Studies Award. As lowly Sophs” we took a great deal of ribbing from the “upperclassmen” but al- ways with a smile. After learning that there was no fourth floor, no express elevator, and no swimming pool in the gym, we felt like old timers. We did find different some of the subjects offered, such as Spanish, geometry and biology. Getting into the swing of things, we elected our class officers: James Mastroi- anni, president; George Wild, vice-president; Louise Ortolani, secretary; David Howell, treasurer, and Elizabeth Ragle, G.O. Repre- 39 sentative. Astrid Ericson and Albert Pilnacek represented us in the G.A.C. and B.A.C., re- spectively. We joined clubs and participated in other extra-curricular activities. After learning Huntington's songs and cheers, we put our knowledge to good use by shouting ourselves hoarse at football and basketball games. Al- though we were newcomers to the school, our school spirit was ever strong. Right now all this sounds like ancient his- tory, for here we are, “Jolly Juniors” al- ready. As we said before, we can hardly believe it! We'll always want to remember our days in high school so even when we're Mighty Seniors” we'll have very pleasant memories of our first year as Sophs. y ot me Rs, i mes, | } i 1 | nema Sone ne ere SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right—Nina Demchuk, secretary; Wally Wells, president; Bob Mackin, vice-president; Pat Brayton, treasurer.
