Levittown Memorial High School - Echoes Yearbook (Levittown, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1957 volume:

presented by the Senior Class of LEYITTOWN MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL Echoes Jrom FOREWORD As the myths of long ago represent the history of an ancient people, so our yearbook will someday tell a glorious legend of our youth, recounting events of our lives which will never be relived. Here we have written our own unique myth. Our Olympus is the halls, rooms, and grounds of Levittown Mem- orial High School. The people who stride these halls, inhabit these rooms, and engage in combat on these fields are our modern counterparts of gods and godesses, heroes and hero- ines. Our drama is the pattern of lives as they mingle here . . . working, play- ing, learning—and above all preparing for new roles. These roles, yet to be enacted, will not be imitative of a heri- tage from the past, but rather the bold, free creations of an unlimited, though unexplored, future. Yet the background of our tomorrow lies in yesterday. Let us today take a fond, retrospective look at our golden age of legend. Mr. Lawrence Desimone For leading us to the heights of greatness ... for in- spiring within us pride in our school . . . for standing every day as our leader, wise and dignified . . . for being our friend ... we dedicate this, our pledge of immortality, to you, Mr. D . CLASS OF 1957 Principal Dear Friends, As the years go by you will find many times when it will be a pleasure to look through your year- book. This will bring to mind what will appear to have been carefree days of high school. The main purpose of this message is to be a reminder for you when you have such thoughts. When you were in high school your days were far from carefree. You had many responsibilities to which you were held by your teachers, your G.O. and Class officers, and your parents. These respon- sibilities were adjusted to your maturity, experience and ability. You discharged them very well; you considered them even more seriously than you did your rights. You also left a high school changed for the better because you were there. This book records in an inanimate way some of your school experi- ences. However, you may be certain that your con- tributions while you were in school are living today and will continue to be felt forever. Sincerely yours, 'Charles C. Jacobs Principal Mr. Charles Jacobs Principal Levittown Memorial High School Dr. Warren Koch Assistant Principal Mr. Thomas Boegel Assistant Principal FACULTY PLAY . . . STALAG 17 The true spirit of our teachers shone forth in the faculty play, Stalag 17 . A lot of hard work, time, and ef- fort went into this bene- fit performance for the L.T.A. Scholarship Fund.

Sanders, group chairman seems to have made an amusing com- ment as members of the group discuss their topic. THIRD ANNUAL CITZENSHIP DAY On November 27, 1956, the students of L.M.H.S. held their Third Annual Citizenship Day, whoso purpose was to study the Crisis in Education. Our keynote speaker Mr. John J. Scanlon, Deputy Director of Research of the Ford Foundation, delivered a most enlightening address on the crisis in education. The program was divided into two sections, morning and after- noon. During the morning assembly, a panel consisting of seven members from the armed services, the arts, education and former students, discussed the topic Is education meeting the needs of a changing and complex society? In the second assembly a panel of three members recommended possible courses for student action upon problems which crystallized during the day's discussions. The success of the day can only be measured by the impression made upon the student body itself. Credit is due to the faculty for their cooperation, and especially to Mr. Pezzullo and Mr. Braunhut for their encouragement and help.

Therefore, the Senior Carnival, held in October, was a tremendous success. Shaving balloons, hitting and missing targets and getting married were all a part of the fun had by the many in at- tendance. Bill Schoolman and his band provided the music for the dancing and the dance contests. The lucky winners of the games and contests went home with pleasant keep- sakes. The profits of the Senior Carnival went towards the _ expense of Echoes. I SENIOR INFORMALS SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL With the help of Mr. Rowan and Mr. Kaye, and under the able leadership of Thomas Sanders, George Lukemire, Arleen Gleason, Ellen Scheffler and Maryanne Romano the Senior Class Council accomplished much this year. Their first successful undertaking was the Senior Carnival, which provided funds for the Echoes. In February this group organized a much enjoyed skating party. The Senior Council also organized the popular class trip to Washington, D. C, as well as the senior prom, Almost Paradise, both of which brought the year to an exciting and profitable close. G. O.

Lean upon the strains of Almost Paradise and . . . AWAY we go! It's night when we arrive. We can see the lights of a beautiful city. A crowd is gathering over there. Let's see what they're waiting for. Why, it's opening night at the Celebrity Club- Karen Bandolik, Hope Wood, and Wing Soo Hoo are featured popular singing stars. The crack dance band is composed of top musicians Dave Pyne, Alice Bruno Joe Torino, Tony Lepard and Richie Aversano. Marie Christo will perform her famous comedy act. Howie Boyar manages the club which is owned by Richie Gossett. The employees include Artie Houston, bouncer; John Erickson, bartender; Marie Maloney, pho- tographer; Betty Hellings, chef; and Bill Karas, headwaiter. The gambling casino is safe in the hands of Bill Franchey and Janet Boothman, who are currently engaged in a game with Dr. Norm Weinstein and Tom James, the Texas oil tycoon. Among the club's patrons are lovely models Doris Clark and Ann Pariow, Countess Elizabeth Cooper, Buddy Bryan, the African explorer, and Ray Kessell, the wealthy playboy. The Paradise City.

Eileen Kern is the pianist of the orchestra conducted by maestro Noel Robin. Choreography is by Beverly Trimboli, who stars Sally Halpern as the prima ballerina with Sid Holtzer in the male lead. Joel Saren, press photographer, is taking pictures of the elite audience. Why there's Al Smith, producer, talking ta Marianne Graham, dramatic actress! They're probably discussing plans to dramatize Pat Davis' new book Rancid Oatmeal sequel to Bitter Rice. In the upper right box, we can see Ida DeLuca, diplomat, and Bob Nortillo, Sec. of State. Just taking their seats are Marianne Attanasio, lady wrestler, and her date, Roy Mangels. Time passes quickly in Paradise City. It's daylight now. Let's take a quick tour. We come first to the P.C. Hospital. Roger Hallinan is the director. Rod Dean, who operates here, is a great brain surgeon. Nurses Marg Westley and Nicky Woog are preparing a room for Carole Broming, who is suffering from an old toe ailment. As we pass by, read the signs on the shops. Pat Hoffman's Soda, B. Perkins Pickles, E. Watt Electric Lights, Richard Clay Pots, Peg Lynch Ropes, Robert Weaver, Tailor, Alice Fish Market, Carol Ito's Homemade Cheetohs, and Molfetta's Flea Circus.

Sue Lowell, who has offered to be our guide, will show us through the Museum of Art and Hague's Plan- etarium. Don't miss those amazing horse statues by Linda Lane and the oils by Zarck ... On our way to the country, we pass T.V. Station L.M.H.S. Jack Weiner, the celebrated comedian, and his straight man. Art Lefkowitz are just rehearsing. Pat Roth and Jane Carroll do commercials, while Dick Wilson and Dick Bartolomei are announcers. Play Ball! Umpire Gary Gardiner's call rings out as we pass the Ball Park. Jerry Clifford, Bruce Frazier and Pete Statleman are in there playing. Delores Germain is just going in to see the game. For those who prefer exotic sports, we have the Para- dise Bull Ring. Phil Wolfe is the chief Bull Thrower. Bill Kaylor and Charlie Florman are picadors. Ann Esposito and Anna Sobek sit in the stands and throw roses occa- sionally. The bulls are raised by Jack Balos. Across from Round and Round, the skating rink where Judy Fiedler, Marg Heinsohn and Peg Wanless are practicing, is Sanders' Airport. Airline hostesses Fran Murphy and Karol Steinhaus wave to us as we pass by. Hi! Now that we're in the heavenly countryside, we will ride past Lukemire's Horse Farm, J. Kanarvogel's Snake Farm and Jane Harahan's Mink Ranch. We'll stop at the estate of Frank Oley, noted duck fancier, whose home is built in the shape of a basketball.

For this all our thanks go to Mr. Russo, our class advisor. The officers, who were elected early in the season, were President: Adele Smiros, Vice- president: Dick Louison, Secretary: Nancy Scharer, and Treasurer: Sandy Brown. Everyone did a great job. The annual Snowball was held in January. The proceeds were used to contribute to the biggest event of all, the Junior Prom; Stairway to the Stars. Stairway to the Stars was held at Niederstein's in Lynbrook. During the course of that fabulous evening, Sandy Brown was chosen Queen of the Prom. Her court consisted of Liz Mahoney, Adele Smiros, Lynn Christiansen, Wendy Thompson, Gale Zimmerman and Ann Mackwich. The Queen, her Court, and their escorts. As far as sports are concerned, our boys really supported L. M. H. S. teams. We had some out- standing athletes on the football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, track, cross-country, and bowling teams. To the juniors of next year: We wish you a hearty Good Luck! and hope you have as much fun as we did. Left to right: R. Toes, A. Machwich, P. Wolfe, L. Christensen, R. Caulfield, E. Mahoney, G.

Its size can undoubtedly be attributed to new- comers from Division Avenue School, many of whom have already distinguished them- selves, here at Memorial. Under the guidance of Mr. Donnelly and the class officers: Pierre Woog, Grace Califano, Gussie Friscia and Barbara Ostovich, the Sophomore class successfully planned and sponsored a class dance, a Dress Up Day, and of course, the unforget- table Sophomore Class Picnic.

A lot of credit goes to our advisor, Mr. Chasnov, and also the officers—President, Al Christiansen; Vice President, Betty Jane Val- desi; Secretary, Carol McDonald; Treasurer, Pat Hurley. During the fall a Freshman Dress-up Dance was held. A skating party, which was also quite successful, was held in the spring. As far as sports are concerned, we had a very spirited Freshman Football team. In spite of only one victory, they played hard! Fresh- man basketball and baseball teams did well, thanks to their fine sportsmanship. The class members enlivened the L.M.H.S. recreation program, supported the teams at games, and added generally to school spirit. The future looks bright for a group such as this.

If you were on early riser on Thursday mornings, chances are you were an active part of our General Organization. Despite the difficulties of meetings held at dawn, this group functioned smoothly under able leaders; Rodney Dean, president, was assisted by Pat Davis, Nickey Woog, and Eleanor Greenwich—who were vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respec- tively. Dancing, ping-pong, knock-hockey, and checkers were all a part of the activities of our G. O. sponsored recreation rooms. This group also sponsored a semi- formal Christmas dance for L. M. H. S. alumni. More- over, there were a masquerade party at Halloween, the adoption of a needy family at Christmas time, and the trimming of the traditional Christmas tree in the school lobby, under the auspices of our G. O. The help of our advisers—Mr. Hamm, Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Klasek—and the zeal of the class representatives were invaluable in achieving such a successful year. 'SpOTLlGH7 FREE Mr. Lerner and the G.O.

The news paper, which only a few years ago was a semi-annual mimeographed sheet, has proved that it can hold its own among the best by having captured a third prize at the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion Conference. This annual three day conference at Columbia University was attended by six staff members. The Spotlight made many improvements during a vigorous face- lifting campaign. These changes were only made possible by in- creased student support and by the excellent guidance of Mr. Richard Hawkey, editorial adviser, and Miss Ethel Martin, busi- ness adviser. This year a plan of Co-editorship, undertaken by Florence Reddo and George Logan, was put into effect because of the increase in circulation and the frequency of publication. The Spotlight reached its peak in both these fields this year. With continued student support your school paper hopes to top this peak next year. Spotlight editors hard at work, plan the next issue.

The sight of the band marching onto the field in their uniforms sharpens school spirit and boosts the morale of the team.

Under the ex- pert guidance of Miss Agnes Golab and Mr. Albert Basso, the choruses have pro- duced a variety of shows and have gained much prestige in the school. Among the many accomplishments are an excellent Christmas show and a musical extravaganza entitled Mother Nature's Four Faces. Another accomplish- ment of which they are particularly proud, is the acquisition of beautiful new, gray and gold choir robes. They worked ex- tremely hard, producing shows and hold- ing concerts, in order to purchase these robes. If their progress continues as rapidly as it has in the past, Levittown will be able to boast a second Fred Waring Chorus. Miss Golab and Mr. Basso combine their talents to provide wonderful programs for the students. G. C. ettes Standing: M. Christo D. McCarthy, B. Anderson, E. Gleason, J. Molzon, B. Ray, A. Gleason, B.

Rational Mo nor Society November 1956 brought sixteen new mem- bers to the Levittown Memorial High School Chapter of the National Honor Society. The sixteen were chosen on the basis of evidence of their superior leadership, service, scholarship and character. The officers who were chosen to preside for this year were Tom Sanders, presi- dent; John Erickson, vice-president; Florence Rcddo, secretary; and Arleen Gleason, treasurer. Under the guidance of these officers, the group set up a plan whereby students were able to insure textbooks, began work on an orientation booklet for incoming students, and was host to several National Honor Society chapters in Nassau. Zke Suture Zeackers of America The Future Teachers of America Club, presently under the leadership of Mr. McDonald, will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most important organizations of our school. Its members are students with an average of at least 80% who are considering a career of teaching. Flor- ence Reddo is president of the club whose members number approximately thirty. In February of this year, the club took a field trip to a college where a guest speaker gave insight to the problems and rewards found in the teaching profession. The big project of the year was observing in an elementary school where the club members sat in on an actual classroom session. Left to Right: E. Watt, S. Ronk, Mr. Drazer, P. Davis, C. Erickson, S.

This ambitious group tackles such topics as Should the South be Forced To Obey? and The Suez Controversy at their weekly meetings. This year the Forum Club cor- responded with the Forum Clubs of other schools to exchange ideas. This proved to be interesting as well as helpful. The members themselves played a big part in Citizenship Day, lending their talents as moderators of the discussion groups. The confidence and experience that are gained by participating in the Forum Club often prove to be of invaluable use in future years. First Row: B. Steinberg, F. Reddo, G. Murphy, J. Glickman.

Jorum Club D. drench Club Lc Club Francois, under the direction of Mr. Streit and Mr. Pergolizzi, accomplished many things this past year. The publication of Le Reporter, our own French newspaper, and the annual trip to New York City for dinner and movie a la francais were the high points of the year. This group sponsored and performed in a program aimed to intrigue the student body with the charm of French songs and skits. For their own benefit, the members contributed dues which were expended on records, films, slides and pictures of things gaulois. Learning about France and her people by such means—apart from the class- room atmosphere—the students enriched their cultural background and strengthened their linguistic talents. First Row: D.

La Luz de la Mancha, a T.V. program, and has gone on various trips. The Spanish Club originated this year under the direction of Mr. Rosenfelder and Mr. Fernandes. It consists of those people interested in learning the art and language of the Spanish people. Suture Homemakers of America Lucky will be the men who get these girls for wives. Under the direction of Miss Fogerty, each member of the F. H. A. is learning the proper method of establishing and running a well organized household.

This club emphasizes the type of knowledge that is important in the training of our students for future use in the advancement of medicine and science. We can be sure that these boys will, be well prepared for whatever their chosen field proves to be. UUUUI (garden Club With the formation of the Garden Club came a promise for better things for the center court.

Squad, under the direction of Mr. Lacara, did a fine job again this year. This group handles the educational T. V. system in the high school, the films the students see in class, and is responsible for the entire film library of District Five. This energetic group does a wonderful job and we certainly couldn't get along without them. C. Nash, Secretary, gives her report to Mr. Lacara, Barry Reiss, R. Slater, and J. Cohen. At It Idle Aides Whenever they are needed, the athletic aides are available. Under the able direction of Mr. Klasek, this group of volunteers helps in numerous ways to further sports and sportsmanship in Levit- town High. They help out during all tournaments and games, assist at assemblies, and perform other tasks which come up during the year. Jacks of all trades, and helpers to all who may need their as- sistance, are these boys. We're proud of the boys in the jackets bearing the title of Athletic Aide. Standing: E. Harrington, R.

Its service is to aid ill and dis- abled people; its use is to give first hand information to future nursing aspirants. These future nurses have been very active, visiting Bellevue Hospital and giving aid at Nassau Hospital this year. During Easter they organized an Easter program for the mentally and physically handicapped. All of these girls are sure to be- come successful and efficient nurses. SAFETY COUNCIL Left to Right: E.

Two years ago a new club was established in our school. Named the Safety Council, it was designed to pro- mote safety for our students, both in school and at home. This Safety Council has brought honor to our school by becoming a member of the National School Safety Honor Roll. Only three schools on Long Island were so recognized. To be eligible for this society, a council must show exceptional work in safety edu- cation. In the future the Safety Council will prove its worth in many more ways. Center Row: J. Ravinsky, mK .Vi We'll journey through the impatient years the line from a famous song was also the theme from this year's school play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . The story of two youthful girls striving for in- dependence is a world wide one and Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kim- brough, the authors, treat the problem with delightful wit and charming candor. The plot revolves around a trip to Europe made by Emily, (Marianne Gra- ham), and Cornelia, (Jackie Reading). As soon as the girls wave goodbye to Mr. and Mr. Skinner, played by Norman Weinstein and Aida De Luca, they're off to exciting adventures in Paris. En route they meet two captivating medical students, Leo McEvoy, (Jack Weiner), and Dick Winters, (Art Lefkowitz) who prove to season their trip with excit- ment and a little romance. Of course the contraction of measles also added to Corn- elia's trip, and Emily had her problems which culminated in the capture of a dan- gerous crimnal. In Paris acting lessons, bedbugs, and exploding gas meters help to occupy the two. The play proved to be one rollicking success from the beginning of the first act until the close of the third. Everyone who viewed Our Hearts Were Young and Gay agreed that the acting was superb, and the directing excellently accomplished by Mr. Patrick Brostowin and Mr. Raymond Kavanagh. There was a very large turnout for Girls Sports Club this year. Many sporting events took place under the watchful eye of Miss Piliero. Officers of the club were Carol Ito, president; Eileen Gleason, vice-president; Gerry Murphy, secretary; and Andrea Singer, treasurer. Sports Club started off with a bang with two Playdays, one away and one at home. Later an honor team of eighteen girls was selected for volley ball, and many a close game they played (especially when our fellas were the opponents). At the end of the volley ball season, an honor team was chosen to repre- sent our club in basketball. Every girl really exerted her energy. Other organizations which branched off from Sports C4ub were Trampoline Club and The Dance Club. Both clubs put on exhibitions for Sports Night, which was just as exciting to the audience as it was to the performers. We certainly hope the spirit of this year's Sports Club will follow through next year and many a year to come. Zrampoliue Club . ...., iH. WC«yX VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Left to right: S. Halpern, E.

Varsity This year's varsity football team wound up the season with a record of two wins and six losses. This record does not seem very impressive, but the many loyal fans who at- tended the games know that the Panthers were much better than the record would seem to in- dicate. After a slow start the Panthers began to pick up speed. They defeated Lynbrook for the first time in the history of our school and came very close to upsetting the more power- ful, undefeated Green Waves of Westbury. The able coaching staff composed of Mr. Altenburg, Mr. Balitisos and Mr. Costa was headed by Mr. Stanley Klasek. Phil Wolfe, Norman Urban and Rodney Dean finished up a fine season by being named for All-Scholastic. 5k %%%asketball Trophy for 2nd. place in Nassau County Championship. Kneeling: B.

We're from Levittown and no one could be prouder! This yell was heard louder this year than ever before. The Levittown Panthers, under the able lead- ership and guidance of Mr. Larry De- simone, marched through the basketball season to cop second place in Section II, then went on through the playoffs to reach the final game in the Nassau Coun- ty Championship. Co-captains Sid Holtzer and Frank Oley with John Hock, Gene Flamm, and Ray Kessell comprised the most popular starting five. Two of these boys, Ray Kessell and Gene Flamm, made All- Scholastic. The other fine players com- pleting this year's squad were Buddy Bryan, Phil Wolfe, Ed Sierra, Al Smith, Dave Cooper, Mike Dill, and Bill Curtin. All of these boys, on the court or on the bench, made a wonderful showing for Levittown High, and did a great job in boosting school spirit and pride among the students. Yes, this year was pretty terrific! Now Levittown has officially arrived and has proved to be a serious challenger for any and all teams. With fight, de- termination, and good sportsmanship as our means, we expect to reach our goal —first place in the tournament! BASKETBALL ACTION Flamm does it again—another 2 points for Lovittown.

Bowling The bowling team, coached by Mr. Leary, had the second best sea- son in its history. The team finished in first place in the first half of the playoffs of the South Shore League. In the second half, they took second place, being beaten only by Hew- lett. • In the playoffs of the combined North Shore and South Shore Lea- gues, Levittown placed sixth out of thirty-six teams. SOCCER TEAM The Levittown Soccer Team, coached by former All-American Tony DiBenedetto, enjoyed a fairly successful season. Fin- ishing with a 3-6-4 record, the team was sparked by Tommy James, Bob Rovinsky and Bill Lynch in the line, and John Colum- bia, Dick Bartolomei and Ken Grannelli in the backfield. The loss of four of our senior team- mates for next year will not cause a total catastrophe. We still have up and com- ing players with a year or more of experi- ence. We will be able to count on them for another successful year. Good luck to Mr. Di and his boys. VARSITY SOCCER TEAM Standing: Coach A. DiBeniditto, K. Granelli. Rafeerity, R. Bartolomie. Kneeling: R.

Many of its bright stars will be with us next year to bring success on the mats. Dwight Stone, Joe DeTore, and Dick Louison with 10-3, 12-1, and 8-5 records, re- spectively, will be around next year with more skill and experience. Graduation is robbing the team of Kent Ringland, Tom Lamendola, and George Lukemire, but we are sure that the other able members of the team will success- fully fill their shoes. . V. Squad J.

Levittown Memorial High School's Varsity Baseball team for 1957 was made up primarily of returning veterans from last year's squad, coached by Mr. Noble for the second straight year. The pitching staff, considered by many the best in the league, was headed by Bruce Frazier, Mike Dill, Jerry Clifford and newcomer Billy Curtin (who also played shortstop when he wasn't pitching). Around the infield we had Ed Harrington at first base, Bobby Blum at second base. Buddy Bryan at short- stop, and Dwight Stone at third base. Our starting outfield was Bill Lynch, Bill Snyder and Artie Fogel. Pete Statelman did the catching. Norm Weinstein, Tom Perez, John Molfetta and Gary Mauger were the team's handymen since they could play more than one position.
