: : «V t i ' ? IT4«Mr! i toMTit� ?: 1 inHhi : ;-rH I mjym Levittown, New York June 26. 1956 Dear Mary and Tom, We have been friends, you and I. And in this past year, our friendship has brought good to both of us. We have done tilings together in that time that none of us will forget. Even though you leave and make new friends elsewhere, you will remember, for the memories of this year are in the safekeeping of the pages which follow. As you turn them, and look for the familiar faces of your other friends, don’t overlook mine—the most familiar of them all. When you read the class will,” add, as the very last line, that I deed to you all the success and happiness that seem to be promised by your fresh approach to life. Sincerely, YOUR ALMA MATER, LEVITTOWN MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL Contents Page FACULTY.................... 7 SENIORS....................17 CLASSES....................47 ACTIVITIES.................55 SPORTS.....................67 ADVERTISEMENTS.............79 Abbey Lane Levittown, New York Superintendent of Schools Dear Fellow Students: Many things on this earth improve with age. For example, this yearbook—which reflects many seemingly casual events—will one day prove for each of you a treasure chest in which are recorded the most interesting happenings of your life. I can just see you in that oF rocking chair, fifty years down the road, leafing through the Echoes of 1956—and laughing until your rheumatism for- bids. Guard it—Echoes, that is—some day it will be priceless. Walter Crewson, Superintendent of Schools WALTER CREWSON Assistant Principals The Class of 1956 has been fortunate, indeed, to have had the expert guidance of our able and amiable as- sistant principals, Mr. Thomas Bocgcl ami I)r. Warren Koch. From these men have come the advice, assist- ance, and encouragement so necessary for a satisfactory scholastic atmosphere. Principal Charles C. Jacobs, Principal Dear Friends, The past four years have gone rapidly. During these years some of you have established enviable records in music, in art, in athletics, in student leadership and, equally so, in all of our other fields of endeavor. Best of all these you have matured into young men and women in whom our entire community can take deep and just pride. We salute you and wish you the best of everything as you leave Levittown Memorial High School. You cannot leave without just one more word of advice. If you would achieve much, if you wish to hold our esteem, you must note carefully this word. However great your achievement in high school, in your community and in your home this reflects only your capabilities. It is no proof of continued success—it is only an indication of your potentiality. Your future will be determined, not by your past record, but by your effort, your in- terest, and the degree to which you accept and meet your responsibilities. Once again—best of luck to each of you. Business Bottom row, left to right: Mrs. Curry, Miss Sullivan, Miss Martin, Mrs. Cavanaugh, Mr. Gridley, chairman.

I, Al Tyson, leave my collection of book reports to any student who needs one. I, Barbara Urban, leave my 60 in Applied Biology to Mr. Rowan. I, Sandy Vine, leave my place in Mr. Duffus’s algebra class to Nancy Baecht. I, Betty Anne Watson, leave my empty scat in Latin class to Marilyn Friscia, who may pass. I, Shirley Weiss, leave to Mr. S. the 60 I earned in General Science, to use for future reference. I, Jean Williams, leave my old gym suit and sneakers to Joan Lane, in hopes she will leave them to Nancy. I, Marcia Wolf son, leave my place in Mr. Fernandes’ Spanish class to my brother Michael and his friend Roy.

With the help of Divine Providence and our class officers, we managed to struggle through our freshman year. Our class sponsored dances helped ease the strain of scholastic labors. The torturous first year past, we decided in 1954 that school w asn’t so bad, and came back as sopho- mores rarin’ to go.” Our scholarship improved, and so did our social life; to the usual dances and cake sales, we added the annual Sophomore Picnic—all rousing successes. This year, carrying the weight of another anni- versary upon our shoulders, we determined to show our talent for mature, efficient organization. Our class officers—Lou Bonacci, Pres.; Eleanor Greenwich, V.P.; Janet Larney, Sec.; Arleen Gleason, Treas.—and a council comprised of rep- resentatives from junior homerooms did a fine job of planning our activities. All of 1955, not just prom night, afforded Moments to Remember.” 't he high spot of the Junior Prom was the selection of the queen and her court.

Sophomore Class Hear ye! Hear ye! We the sophomores of L.M.H.S. wish to announce that we have reached the half-way mark. After one more year we will gain priority to wear those pert beanies and im- portant-looking senior buttons. In two eventful years we will graduate. This past year, under the capable direction of Mr. Russo, we have been host for many wonderful events; the Sophomore Class Picnic was its usual roaring success; our school-wide spelling bee won plaudits from faculty as well as students; and our dances and dress-up days” received excellent support. We are looking forward to our next two years, hoping they will be as eventful and fun-filled as the previous two. Who «ays sophomores don’t like school?

Freshman Class One thing we freshmen possess, most emphatic- ally, is school spirit. This we proved when we led the upper classes in supporting the magazine drive and attending basketball and football games. We strove hard and were rewarded by gaining recogni- tion for efficiency and acceptance of responsibility. With the aid of our faculty advisers. Miss Golab and Mr. Chasnov, and the Freshman Executive Committee, we successfully sponsored Dress Up Day” and many dances. The class is eagerly look- ing forward to an outstanding sophomore year.

Echoes The responsibility of recording a year in Lcvittown Memorial, of capturing those elusive moments that so soon become a part of the forgotten past, of recalling a mood that evanesces so suddenly is not one to be taken lightly. All of 1955-1956 must be preserved in some form, to be cherished years from now as a part of that glorious, golden time called youth. We of the yearbook staff have recognized these facts, and done our best to fulfill their de- mands. From a welter of incidents we have chosen those which seemed significant, and after much worry and work, put them into a pattern on the pages of this book. We trust that in later years as you turn the pages, you will hear, clear and strong, the Echoes of 1956. Front row, left to right: M. Graham, M. Westley, S. Kaye, S. Byer, M. Israelson, R.

Spotlight We of the Spotlight are proud to have a place in our yearbook. The school newspaper has come a long way from the semi-annual mimeographed sheet of a few years ago. For one thing we can honestly say that we actually go to press.” We now publish, monthly, a paper much greater in size than the original Spotlight. Much credit for this improvement is duo to the efforts of our ad- visor, Mr. Richard Hawkey. That’s enough of our history, past and present; what of our future? Well, we’d like to be able to come out bi-weekly, or better yet, once a week. Many school publications do. We would also like to bring you more interesting features and less advertising. These changes depend entirely upon you. The more support we have, the better we can serve you, the student body. Spotlight Staff—Front row, left to right: A. Bruno, R. Ellenzweig, M. Israelson, S.

To those who are only accustomed to hear masculine voices on the athletic fields, a stroll outside Room 304 might he rewarding. When hoys meet music, the sounds that issue forth arc soothing, not strident! Miss Golab here demonstrates the tech- nique which enables her to draw from the members of the girls' choruses those golden tones which have won such wide renown. Chorus Men ’n Music”—that’s what our boys’ glee club is called. Mr. Basso and the boys spent many long hours in earnest practice, and showed the results of this industry by their truly commendable performances at both the Christmas and the Spring concerts. Miss Golab and her girls’ choruses really had a year to remember. Added to the usual con- certs was the variety show Manhattan Moods, which utilized the talents of the Mello-Larks,” Debutones,” Silverlones,” Harmonettes” and Golden Chords.” This sparkling musical was based on hit tunes of past and present Broadway productions, and featured dances, instrumentals and panto- mimes as well as vocal selections. The recep- tion accorded this show was proof positive that L.M.H.S. theatricals may yet be a threat to their Manhattan counterparts. School Play WHAT A LIFE!, this year’s school play was a rollicking comedy based upon the antics of Henry Aldrich.” The entire play was set in the office of the principal, Mr. Nelson (Fred Crewson). There both teachers and students milled about, awaiting inter- views with the top brass.” Unfortunately Henry (Jack Weiner) was much in demand as an unwilling visitor to this inner sanctum; however, the silver lining to the dark cloud of his school days appeared when on one social call” he met Barbara (Betty Cooper). Henry’s fluctuating fortunes provided a most amusing evening for his fellow sufferers from L.M.H.S. Senior Council To spark-plug senior activities, the Senior Council was inaugurated this year. This group is comprised of representatives elected by their respective home rooms. Among the many successful projects sponsored by the council were the Senior Carnival, Senior Trip, Senior Prom, and class skating parties. Bottom row, left to right: K. Schindler, M. Slater, R.

Garden Club A new school needs a great deal of work before it can assume that warm and friendly atmosphere that stu- dents desire in their home away from home.” Land- scaping presents a major problem; stone and brick need flowers and trees to soften their forbidding look. To attempt this herculean task, the Garden Club was organized. Under the guidance of Mr. Basso, the mem- bers have labored long and hard. We have seen them sweaty and soiled at the end of a weary day; yet their faces bore the satisfied expressions that come with knowledge of a job well done. When spring comes to Levittown, we need only view the quadrangle to see the results of this group’s efforts—the gay, floral splendor on display is, indeed, a joy forever.” The Future Teachers’ Club was organized with the aim of helping students decide whether or not teaching is a desirable profession for them; in cases wrhere the decision is affirmative, I he club then encourages develop- ment of the necessary scholastic and personality factors involved in this vocation. The F.T.A. helps students to plan their courses of study more efficiently, for those who follow' the proper courses not only save themselves valuable time, but also arc invariably better-prepared teachers. This group plans to initiate a program of cadet teaching,” actually going into the classroom to teach a lesson. This would be an invaluable aid for stu- dents to determine their fitness for, and interest in, the role of teacher.

This group helps service the individual classes by arranging for distribution of films, cameras, and sound devices; whenever necessary, a stu- dent will act as projectionist. Photographic coverage of school events is handled by members of this squad, w ho not only photograph, but develop and print their own shots. Both students and faculty are grateful for the efforts of this group. Tropical Fish Club Front row, left to right: J. Herntsen, M. Weitzman, Treas.; P. V anderlaske, M. Jolley, P. Vogel, V.P.; E.

Although very young, it has already set up a 27 gallon tank in Room 118, and is working on two other exhibit tanks. A tropical fish exhibition has been planned as a yearly event, with prizes to be awarded for the most outstanding exhibits. Watch for us; we will do our best to make L.M.H.S. proud. National Honor Society In November 1955 our school chapter of the National Honor Society was inaugurated. Quali- fication as a candidate was determined by evidence of superior leadership, service, scholarship, and character. Those who met the rigid standards were inducted, and chose as their officers Carole Bart- lett and Fred Crewson, co-chairmen; Celia Reed, secretary and Tom Sanders, treasurer. Under the guidance of these officers, the group held a recep- tion for the foreign exchange students, was host for a meeting of all the N.H.S. chapters in Nassau, and sponsored a field trip to the Shakespearian Festival at liofstra.

Should Red China Be Admitted into the U.N.?”— Do American Children Have Too Much Freedom? — Should Sororities and Fraternities Be Permitted to Operate in High Schools? —these are examples of the topics discussed weekly by the Forum Club. Under the leadership of Pat Davis, Lynda Werneth, and Delores Germain, the group joined the Junior Town Meeting League, and sent a representative to the radio program. Teen Town Hall. Remembering the fun in- volved in those polite disagreements,” heated arguments, and gay banter, the members are sure to come hack for more. 66 First row, left to right: J. Hennessy, R. Toes, J.

Huggins, J. Meehan, L. Arann, J. Cohen, G. Mauger, E. Harrington, D. Grasso. Baseball This year’s varsity baseball team was under the direction of Mr. Noble. The Panthers highlighted such sluggers as Steve Rosenbaum, and Larry Arann. The other steady hitters were Jack Cohen, Marty Cavanagh and Jon Hen- nessy. Rounding out the rest of the team were Bill Lynch, a promising sophomore, and Norm Weinstein, a fine junior. The pitching staff was made up of Jack Huggins, senior, Bruce Frazier and Jerry Clifford, juniors, and Mike Dill, Art Fogel, and Joe Meehan, sophomores. Led by Frazier and Clifford, the pitchers showed fine form for this year, and promise for years to come. Handling the pitching staff were our capable catchers, Boh Jankowski and Dick Toes. Reserves Lou Bonacci, Bill Schneider, Gary Mauger, Ed Harrington, Don Grasso, Frank Oley, and Jerry Beck added great depth to the team.

Basketball Despite a slow start, this year’s varsity basketball learn proved to be a good challenger for the Section Two cham- pionship. Led by last year’s two starters, Dick Casko and Larry Arann, Levittown became known as a serious threat to the coaches who once thought it a pushover. Rounding out the first team were last year’s jayvee starters, Gene Flamm and Jack Huggins, along with a newr student, Sid Holtzer. Also up from last year’s jayvee were Buddy Bryan and Frank Oley. Marty Cavanagh and Artie Kornfeld returned from last year’s varsity, while new- comers Ray Kessel and Tim Shanley completed the roster. Levittown is a scrappy, determined team, already well on its way to the very top of its league. Save for the uniforms and the hall in view, one might think this welter of arms and legs indicated a frenzied moment at an exhibition of modern dance.

Football The Panther football team was greatly ham- pered this year by the graduation of the greater portion of its members. However, Don Grasso’s passing, Tom Sanders’ running, and Dick Casko’s running and kicking caused many an opponent’s defense to crumble, allowing long-yardage gains. In the defense department, Paul Eschenfelder, Homer Lutjen, Dick Sullivan and Bill Doherty crushed many an attempted stab into Levittown territory, while Marty Cavanagh, Brendt Deme- trotion, and Norman Urban starred as ends. The high point of the season was October 29, when the Panthers vanquished their traditional rival, Hicks- ville, by a score of 32-0. Thanks to Dick Casko’s three touchdowns, one TD apiece for Don Grasso and Larry Arann, and two points after touchdown by Tom Sanders, the team was able to rack up this impressive victory.

Wrestling Moved up to Section I of the South Shore Athletic League only this year, our wrestling team, nevertheless, placed fourth in tournament competition. Mike Detore re- tained his title for the third consecutive year; while Larry Forlano and Joe Detore won their matches to take third and fourth places, respectively. The team co-captains were Larry Forlano, who finished the season with fourteen wins and no losses, and Mike Detore, who completed the year with a record of twelve and two. Levittown’s successes on the mat are a tribute to the capable coaching of Mr. Lake- land. This is not a lesson in the fine art of pretzel twisting; Ray LaShier and Larry Forlano practice to have and hold wrestling championships. Bowling The Levittown Bowling Team ended the season with a record of 19 points won and 31 points lost. In spite of this rather poor record, the future looks bright. Dan Glickman, who led the team with a 165 average, Tom Wright, and Phil Brotman are highly touted prospects, w ho show talent in knocking down the maples. Bob Kershawr, who ably filled the fourth spot, deserves a lot of credit for his spirit. Filling the last spot on the team was usually the role of Bill Snyder, though sometimes Bernie Potof, Bob Goldberg, or Richard Zito alternated as fifth man. With this year’s experience behind them, the team looks forward to bigger and better things in 1957. Bottom row, left to right: Bernard Potof, Bob Gold- berg, Phil Brotman, Bill Snyder.

Weiss, V arga-Golovezenko, Soccer The I,evittown Soccer Team, surprisingly enough, did not live up to expectations or reach its theoretical standing in the league. In the squad’s first seven games, a total of thirty eight points had been scored against them, while they had managed only one point in retaliation. Fortunately the team seemed to come alive in the latter part of the sea- son, winning their second game with Fast Meadow and nearly upsetting powerful Long Beach. Spark- ing the team were Dick Guinan, twice All-Scho- lastic, Neal Warren, and Frank Ferri. Backing up their efforts were Zellman, Dineen, Ryan, Roffe and Pearl. Among those who filled in in the clutch” we must name Huggins, Kappy, Opert and Carlo. 'Fhe under-classmen, with this year’s ex- perience under their belts, stand a good chance of redeeming the Panthers from the ignominy of another disappointing slump. There are times when it’s not an asset to keep your feet on the ground;” during a hectic moment on the soccer field, Neal Warren demonstrates his ability to rise above it all! 72 Twiriers In their eye-catching outfits of red and white silk, trimmed with gold braid, our Twirlers have brightened'our football and basketball games, led the parade that wel- comed Santa Claus to Levittown, and spread our school’s fame by way of TV’s Teen Bandstand... a schedule that could makes heads as well as batons spin!

Boosters The teams of a brand new school, such as L.M.H.S. was in 1953, face the tre- mendously difficult task of establishing a reputation for skill, sportsmanship, and spirit. Such an undertaking requires the support of the student body as a whole. To spearhead the drive for an increase of strong school spirit. Miss Piliero organized the Boosters, who in three years have suc- ceeded so admirably that they seem an indispensable part of the school’s athletic program. Left to right: D. Paris, M. Israelson, J.

Cheerleaders Pretty legs . . . whirling skirts . . . bright splashes of color on the field or court—these are the trademarks of our cheerleaders, official representatives of school spirit. Cheerleading is not an easy job! Every Tuesday morning, under the supervision of Mrs. Marasa and Miss Piliero, the girls meet to try out new routines and perfect the old ones. Yet, despite the hours of arduous practice, there is eager competition for any opening on this squad. Why do the gals love their job so? Well, maybe it’s be- cause of that proud feeling which comes when they don the red, black and white. Or, perhaps, they love the crowds who stand and roar till the stands shake during those last exciting minutes of game time. But most likely it is the conviction that they are helping to secure a coveted victory that gives a glow of satisfaction to this dynamic group.

This powerhouse of feminine athletic prowess com- petes with teams from near-by high schools, and rivalry among girls engenders tremendous excitement. This sort of activity develops not only a sense of competitive spirit and good sportsmanship, but also a clearly defined feeling of school pride. 77 One of the best-liked activities in L.M.H.S. is the Girls Sports Club. With over 150 active and enthusiastic mem- bers, this club has been thriving for nearly two years, under the leadership of Miss Piliero and Mrs. Marasa. Basketball, volleyball, socker and hockey are just a few of the sports enjoyed by club members. There is no class discrimination in this activity; freshman, sophomore, junior and senior girls take part in the fun. The sports club officers are Margaret Elefante, President; Blanche Ambrosino, Vice-president; Ellen Scheffier, Sec- retary; and Phyllis Hague, Corresponding Secretary.
