Echoes 1964 Cover by: Gerry Fountain Gerry Slater te From Dream to Reality Four students had a dream. Most dreams do not come true, but through the efforts of four officers and an eager student body a dream did come true. In October of 1962, the POGO (Promote Our General Organization) Party were elected G.O. officers. The new officers, during their campaign, had pledged themselves to working for a much needed auditorium for LMHS. One of the most difficult obstacles they encountered was gaining the support of their fellow students. Having achieved this, they took steps to reach the top—the Board of Education. Faculty approval was the first step. Petitions were the next step. Volunteers ven- tured into MacArthur and Division Avenue territory to obtain signatures. People in this community began to realize that the students in LMHS meant business. Kei Saito, the G.O. President, attended numerous Board meetings in order to gain recognition. Finally, the Board said they would discuss the plan and vote on it. All this would take time. Refusing to let the matter rest entirely in the hands of the Board, the officers and others wrote letters to Santa Claus at Christmastime asking for an auditorium. Although the Levittown Tribune only printed a few of the letters it did mention in the same issue that hundreds of letters of the same type had been received. Kei went ahead and wrote a letter to President Kennedy. The late President prompt- ly replied in an encouraging tone. Once again, the Levittown Tribune headlined the news of President Kennedy’s letter. At last, the Board approved the idea of the auditorium and it was to become one of the propositions in the forthcoming election in April, 1963. The day of the election came. Nothing more could be done. The officers waited. At last, the results came in—over 2 3 majority. IT WAS PASSED. Levittown Memorial High School is indebted to these four officers—Kei Saito, Lynne Jaffe, Carol Zeller, and Judy Azulay—for their service to their school. 5 Dear Mr. Lenihan, This year when it came time to decide to whom this yearbook—Echoes ’64—would be dedicated, you were unanimously chosen. You have been here at Levittown Memorial for seven years. Throughout those seven years, you have always tried to impress on all students the fact that learning is essential in life. You have said, “You should never stop learning. The best educated people are those that educate themselves—those who read voraciously: papers, books, everything. They appreciate an education. The greatest pleasures are pleasures of the mind; you can travel and be whatever you want right in your mind.” All those who attended the National Honor Society induction ceremonies in December of 1963 will never forget your inspiring speech. But, Mr. Lenihan, you are not' only conscious of knowledge, you realize the necessity of physical fitness. You believe a healthy mind and a healthy body go harrd in hand. We will never forget, in 1962, when you and Mr. Cackovic hiked to Montauk Point to do your part in President Kennedy’s physical fitness program. We were, are, and always will be, very proud of you. You are a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. You face each day with a smile, whether the day be cloudy or clear. You show how school spirited you are by doing things FOR the school. Your presence at school functions show how dedicated you areto us. For these reasons, Mr. William F. Lenihan, we dedicate the 1964 Echoes to you. Echoes 1964 •i v% 7 MESSAGE FOR THE LEVITTOWN MEMORIAL YEARBOOK As our nation was carved out of wilderness of North America, the symbol of progress could be observed by the building to be seen in the cities and on the farms, on the shores and in the highlands. Yet, the construction by men and materials merely represented the efforts of dedicated people to building an ideal. They were building a land of freedom and human dignity for themselves and the genera- tions to come. As auditoriums, printing plants, and houses of worship emerged on the horizon across the length and breadth of the country, as living proof of man’s desire for freedom to speak his thoughts, to write that which he be- lieved and to pray according to his dictates, one sees that the building of creative and imaginative minds in- spired this progress. The trowel and mortar merely implemented the desire; the saw and the log only under- scored the idea. These lofty ideas and ideals, these worthy desires and objectives, are fashioned by educated minds in healthy bodies. They are the fundamental tools which produce all that follows. Mortar turns rock-like unless some thought is given to its final form and shape and human energy fulfills the plan; a log may rot unless thought has been given to its utilization as a finished board, and only after individual initiative makes the thought a reality. Your education should have provided you with the basic tools with which to build better lives for your- selves, better communities for your neighbors, a better nation for all citizens and a better world for the future. You are the builders of a better tomorrow. Louis Blumberg Superintendent oj Schools 8 THE BOARD OF EDUCATION: L-R: Mr. Harold WoodhuU, Mr. Eli H. Mellan, Mr. Robert Hoshino, Mr. Salvatore Gangi, Mr. Victor Buck, and Mr. Frank Wallace. The responsibility of a member of the Board of Education of District No. 5 is a burdensome one. We admire the dedication of these individuals who strive to improve the educational standards of the Com- munity. 9 STUDENTS OP LEVITTgWN ''jfiHpORlAL' HIGH SCHOOL This has been a year of building. Our students have observed and profited by the construction of six new classrooms. Now the long awaited auditcTriuki is becoming a reality Our auditorium is the fruit of our students' finest experience;?as citizens of our community. Much was learned and much was gained in development of the kind o.f character required for good citizenship. Perhaps the most significant part of this experience was a greater appreciation of a respect for authority. Several Ic-Vels or t?pos of authority had to be approached and approval . secured. In each case this was done with a dignity and thoroughness that ccnm-nded respect and sympathetic under standing’s- Keep these lessons well in mind as you enter full citizenship. Our community andy our nation will benefit and you will find life in a democracy much more rewarding. Sincerely, CharLes C. Jacobs Principal STUDENTS, ARCHITECTS OF THE FUTURE “Building” yearbook theme for Echoes of ’64 is indeed a fitting one, in- spired as it is by the completion, this year, of our Levittown Memorial High School building. Architects, in order to plan and build well, must of necessity have two qualities: an understanding of the desired end product or the goal, the need that the building must satisfy; and at the same time he or she must have an ap- preciation of beauty that will please the beholder. The plans are drawn in such a way, that one complements the other. So too, students, in a sense, are the architects and engineers of their own future, while in school you have setting your goals and desires, and more important, have been formulating the blue prints and plans to bring them to function. Set your goals and ambitions high, as you advance through life, continually plan and work to achieve these personal goals, and then set new ones. It is the steady daily toil in our day by day activities, that will in the end help us to realize success in achievement of our most ambitious plans and projects. Edmond S. Butler A school may take on many forms. It may be built of brick, glass, ornate aluminum, or even weather-beaten clapboard. It may even change with the addition of facilities or by altering its external appearance. Still, the true character of a building is not merely a matter of appearance. The character of a building is found within. It grows and changes with its inhabitants. In the case of a school the inhabitants are the most adaptive and flexible of God’s creation—our youth. A building may grow and take on new design but the growth of the human spirit and the human mind is without limits. Donald Mills 13 R. Hawkey T. Gibney T. Hurley J. Chapin C. Matina English C.

With the help of Mr. Thomas Hurley and Miss Marguerite Curtin, and all the students who served as class officers through the years, the class was given all the guidance and attention which ensures success. The Seniors will never forget their earlier years at LMHS—the tests, the tears, the fun, the class activi- ties, the victorious teams. But most of all, these young men and women (as they are now to be called) will never forget the teachers and fellow students. Traditional events such as the Junior and Senior Proms, the Senior Carnival and the annual girls’ Jun- ior-Senior Basketball game (with the seniors victori- ous) will always be imprinted on the minds of the seniors. Newly added to the list of activities was a boys’ Junior-Senior Basketball game. At this game, a prize—a boy’s old black sneaker—was awarded to the victorious seniors. This school-spirited, enthusiastic and versatile class will never forget their days at LMHS. Each member of the class will be building his own life, but each one had his foundation laid at Levittown Memorial High School. Monster Mash December 13 was the date—the Seniors trans- formed the gym into Transylvania. Bats and black cats, “haunted” spider webs, shrunken heads, skeletons and dead bodies completed the gory atmosphere. It was something that will be remembered by all many years to come.

Under the leadership of Vic Pompa, president of the Class of ’65, and the other officers—Jim Costello, Maryellen McDonough, and Laura Hunt—the class completed many of its undertakings. Their biggest accomplishment was the choosing of a new class ring. Under the guidance of their advisors, Mr. Thomas Rowan and Miss Leah Green, they introduced a new design that will serve as a pattern for the ring of future graduating classes. Other innovations were the sale of class mugs and the addition of the “King’s” Court at the Junior Prom. Athletic events included the annual girls’ Junior-Senior Basketball game. The girls played well under the captainship of Jean Pandolfi and Midge Giles and look forward to a rousing victory next year over the Class of 1966. Also added to the schedule this year was a boys’ Junior-Senior Basketball game. The traditional Junior Promenade was the highlight of their year. The gym was transformed into the “Club ’65” for “A Night on the Town.” Steve Ornstein reigned as Memorial’s first King and Bonnie Crevoiserat was crowned Queen on February 29, a night that the Juniors will never forget. There were, also, the little things that will be remembered, such as, the “dispute” between the Classes of ’64 and ’65 over the Christmas tree, Miss Green’s spaghetti dinner, and the Beatles’ records blaring over the phonograph, while the Juniors decorated for the Prom. 82 Behind the Scenes: Rona Selsky and Margaret Cypin (mem- bers of the court). rrA Night on L-R: Rona Selsky, Maryellen McDonough and Pat McGrath (also a member of the court) Other Members of the Court: Chris Gabrysiak and escort.

The Class of 1966 held several activities in the hope that they would be able to raise enough money to help cover the many ex- penses to be met during their junior and senior years. They took two trips to a combination roller and ice skating rink in Copiague. One late-winter night, the sophomores transformed the school cafe- teria into a movie theater and gave two showings of the film “The Horror of Dracula.” A dance, given just for their own class and their dates, marked the last Sophomore Class event of the year. This program was made possible by the efficiency and vitality of the class council and helpfully guided by Mr. Thaddeus Gibney and Miss Irene Boykoff. 94 Sophomores « Sf ■MTU (MX ONi r Standing L-R: M.

The Class of ’67 had an extremely busy year. Following the election of class of- ficers, the class sponsored their first activity, which was an Inaugural Dance. Featur- ing dim lights and a great band, called the Manhattans, the evening proved truly en- joyable. A splash party, held at an indoor pool, w7ent off “big” with everyone. Many other activities were held during the course of the year, through the efforts of the council. As a climax to the year, a combination barbecue-hootenanny was held in the center courtyard of the school. Both burned hamburgers and off-key singers contributed to a wonderful evening. The Freshman Class would like to extend their sincere thanks to their advisors, Mr. Stephen Knoblock and Mr. Martin Schnittman, for helping to make it a year to remember.

The eighth graders under the guidance of Mr. Rosenblatt worked together to help make Levittown Memorial a school to he proud of. Their year was highlighted by a trip to the Syosset Theater to see “How the West Was Won” and a skating party. 7th Grade The class of 1969 devoted this year to becoming oriented to the school and its functions. The purpose of this program was to help the newest members of our school learn, appreciate and respect the importance of school spirit, customs and behavior. Their advisor, Mr. Hawkey, was pleased by their progress toward this goal and is sure the newcomers will be an asset to LMHS. To become acquainted with high school field trips, the seventh graders took a walking field trip to Levittown Theater to see Walt Disney’s I' antasia.’ Dan Wernick, Barry Siegel and Photo Editor, Barry Schonhaut Co-Art Editors, Regina Lowe and Eunice Bein Business Advisor F.

We, the Editors, thank the entire student body and members of the teaching staff for the cooperation that they have shown to us in our endeavor. We owe much to the patient efforts of Mr. F. La- Truglio, business advisor, and Miss Marguerite Curtin, literary advisor, who have helped to create a fine yearbook for LMHS. We especially thank Mr. Alan Zacker for the sincere guidance and devoted service that he has provided throughout the year. Only our yearbook itself can tell the story behind its creation. Someone said, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” So it is with our book.

A newspaper can only be published through the dedicated work of editors, writers, typists, and advertisement-getters. This year, the Spotlight has such a dedicated staff plus the cheerful encourage- ment and guidance of Mr. Carmen J. Matina, faculty advisor for the sixth consecutive year. Using the criticisms given to last year’s efforts by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, this year’s editorial board worked for the improvement of the paper. The editors were Nancy Free- man. Editor-in-Chief; Eiale Glaser, News Editor; Maxine Lesser, Features Editor; David Waite, Sports Editor; Carolyn Kelly, Business Manager and Sandra Brightman, Advertising Manager. The staff, small but competent, helped by getting stories in on time and by covering the news well. It was only because of their efforts that the paper was able to obtain again one of the highest awards given by the CSPA. —To Terry Mills and Tim Tier- forceful) nature, has made him a'relatively obscure figure around -As March steadily approaches.

These executives undertook the tremendous task of directing the multi-phased operation of the General Organiza- tion. Their program included sponsoring the Dra- ma Club, the Spotlight, the Debate Club, and the Booster Club, and producing the Variety Show and dances for the junior and senior high school. Under the able guidance of Mr. John Drago- netti, the G.O. has endeavored to better the func- tioning of the student government. This aim was forwarded by rewriting the constitution and by participating in the formation of an association of student councils in Nassau County. Carolyn Kelly Secretary The Levittown Memorial Chapter of the National Honor Society, under the careful leadership of its advisor, Mr. John Halligan, and its officers, sponsored various projects during the year. A success- ful book fair helped finance the group’s field trip to the “World’s Fair.” Many students who needed extra help in their studies were given tutoring by members of the Society. The students in the National Honor Society have proved themselves worthy of the standards of the organization—service, character, leadership and scholarship—and should be an inspiration for other students.

National Junior Honor Society The Junior National Honor Society was comprised of outstanding students from grades eight and nine. This year, under advisors Miss Carol Wildenberg and Mr. Sherwood Lucke, the Society sponsored a tutoring service, maintained the operation of the Lost and Found Department and supported an orphan in Viet Nam. The achievements of this group illustrated the qualities of its members and should be a source of inspiration to the entire student body. Bottom Row L-R: Miss C. Wildenberg, E. Fesselmeyer, L.

The amount of work put into this year’s play by the actors, stagehands, technicians and every- one involved proved to he very reward- ing. The Drama Club hopes that this pro- duction will long be remembered for two reasons: one, it was most enjoyable to do; two, it was the. last play EVER to be performed on our polished gym floor. Despite the tedious work of preparing Good Neivs for its three nightly perform- ances in March, the members of the cast, the crew and the LMHS dance band had a wonderful time working together. Congratulations to all those connected with Good News on a job well done. 114 The cast of “Good News.' Presented Good News ” II5 Bottom Row L-R: M. Kelly, L. Mears, N. Coleman, S. Battistone, G.

Mr. Albert Basso directed the Boys’ Chorus, while Mr. James Martindale conducted the two Girls’ Choruses: Chorus 3 and Chorus 5. Although each group met separately, the Boys’ Chorus and the Girls’ Chorus 5 combined to form a four part mixed chorus for their concerts. The choruses here at Levittown Memorial definitely showed their versatility when they entertained audiences at the Annual Winter and Spring Concerts. At the Spring Concert, a smashing success, their performance included songs from The Music Man, Guys and Dolls and “Eliahue Hanavi,” a Hebrew folksong, which was met with great acclaim. 117 Rockettes L-H-ETTS, L-R: L.

Twiriers The Levittown Memorial Rockettes, organized last year by Laurel Proctor, have added much color and spirit to home football and basketball games. Their precision kicking and lively dance routines were the highlight of the an- nual G.O. Variety Show. Much credit is due this group of girls. The Junior Varsity Twirling Squad, under the leadership of Ruth Delaney, has progressed rapidly in the last two years. In their red and white uniforms, these girls were an eye-catch- ing attraction at both football games and pa- rades.

Their highly precisioned routines were one of the highlights of the outstanding half-time shows enjoyed by the cheering spectators. Spirited performances at pep rallies and parades were also among their accomplishments this year. I 19 Band MR. H.

In a more s o le m n mood, the group participated in Lev- ittown’s memorial service for Presi- dent John F. Ken- nedy. L. JAFFE MR. J. ROSENBLATT 120 I 1 Orchestra The LMHS orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Rosenblatt, exhibited the beauty of performing truly great music throughout the school year. This musi- cal organization was the result of the combined effort of the Jr. and Sr. High Schools and some members of the band. 121 G. 0. Store Mr. Lerner and his assistants at the LMHS G.O. Store (The Panther’s Den). The G.O. store, pleasantly and efficiently operated by Mr. Lerner and a staff of competent “salesmen,” was busier and more widely stocked than ever this year.

The Levittown Memorial Chapter of the Future Teachers of America, under the guidance of Mr. Raymond Ward, had a most successful year. A very proud accomplishment was that membership almost tripled. As in the past, the FTA attended the annual LIFE Conference at Hofstra University, observed teachers during an ordinary school day, and acted as hosts and hostesses at Memorial’s Open House. In April, a few of the members had the opportunity to attend a conference in Syracuse.

The purpose of the Future Nurses of America is to give those girls interested in the career of nursing an opportunity to explore the field before actually entering the profession. Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Alpert, the school nurse advisors, tried to stimulate interest in nursing by arranging field trips to Long Island College Hospital and Bellvue School of Nursing. Further information was given by nurses representing Creed- moor Hospital and the U. S. Air Force, who spoke to the group about their programs.

Neyrly formed this year by Mr. John Batorski, the Latin Honor Society is destined to rank with the National Honor Society at LMHS. Students in this society had to maintain a minimum average of 85%. Once the officers and their advisor had written the constitution, they made plans for the induction ceremony, which proved memorable. Their first Project, a very enjoyable one, was to see “The Fall of the Roman Empire.” President—Carole Desidero, Vice-President— Kathy Donohue, Secretary-Treasurer—Joe Rappa, Historian—John Schweser. 124 Library Assistants Bottom Row L-R: J.

Patrolling the halls, apprehending stray students, and ensuring the safety of the underclassmen were only a few of the duties of the LMHS Service Squad, identifiable by the red and black arm bands with the words MEMORIAL HS SLKVICL SQUAD. Under the expert guidance of Raymond Kavanagh, the members of the Squad, led by captain George Wanscr, have become well-known to students and faculty members alike. Spirits of the members were kept high this year by the noble efforts of court jester Frank Mehm and the inimitable Mel Cowzenowfski. Boosters Bottom Row L-R: J. Martin, J. Ravitch, K. Weber, L.

Hesser, T. McCormack,’ J. Van Dam, J. Walsh. That first whistle at the Memorial-MacArthur game signaled more than the beginning of a game and another season. That whistle sig- naled the LMHS eleven to “GO BIG,” and that is exactly what they did. The Panthers enjoyed their best football season ever as they compiled a six wins-two losses record. By defeating the powerful Malvern Mules 41-7, the Panther eleven proved that if one tries hard enough he can do anything. After that victory nothing or no one could stop them. Now the Panthers had power and they used it against Seaford (25-13). This year the Panther eleven captured the first Sectional crown for LMHS. Fullback-Co-Captain Bob (Brute) Armstrong, a truly out- standing linebacker, played an important part in gaining the title Much credit is also due the most potent aerial attack in LMHS foot- ball history. Veteran quarterback Mike Greaves pinpointed many short passes, but could throw the bomb. too. He completed numerous TD passes to find ends Tom McCormick and Dan Walsh. Rounding out the backfield were shifty Ed Thornton and the versatile and exciting Ron Bellistri, who made the All-League team. Outstanding on both defense and offense wras junior Ed Kane. But a team is composed of eleven men; without the others these players would not have been able to win the Section IV Champion- ship. Coach Nick Balitsos and Assistant Coach John (Bat) Batorski heaped much praise on all the members of Levittown’s cham- pionship squad. LMHS VS.

They cap- tured the Section IV championship for the third consecutive year and reached the South Shore semifinals only to be upset by Ocean- side. Skillful Vic Dejong, led the team in both goals scored and assists. This clever and powerful player certainly deserved his positions on the All-League, All-Nassau County, and All-South Shore teams. As strong defensive players, Robert Leahy and Douglas Boyle, both selected for the All-League teams as halfbacks, contributed much toward making the LMHS hooters a championship team. Our out- standing goalkeeper Sid Harvey preserved many shutouts. Although Seniors Dejong, Boyle, and Harvey will not be back, many other lettermen return next year in anticipation of another banner-winning season. 135 Varsity Basketball Coach, L. Desimone The Panther Five ended its twelve game league competition with a 7-5 record. In addition to tying for second place in the South Shore Athletic League (SSAL IV), the team won the coveted golden sneaker in district competition. Coach Lawrence Desimone can well be proud of the team developed during the 1963-1964 basket- ball season. Proof of this was shown by seniors, 6’4” Greg Donaldson, known as Dipper D, who led the team in scoring and rebounding, 6’3” Jeff Shaw, whose clutch rebounding aided the victories, 6’3” Captain Mike Greaves, whose height has been a great asset off the boards, and 6’ Jerry Fountain, who played defensive chaser. Not to be forgotten was 6’ Corky Annand, a junior and a two year veteran of the team. Next year, rooters can w’atch the development and molding of two fine ballplayers, sophomore, Mike Maniscalco (6’4”) and junior, Jimmy Ray (6’).

McGrade, J. Walsh, D. Brimlow, S. Harvey, C. Ryan. Top Row L-R: Coach Mr. Price, R. Armstrong, T. McCormack, M. Spillane, R. Boilinder, R. Bellistri. P. Reilly. The Panther baseball team looked forward to a successful and exciting season with their new coach Mr. Arthur Price. Two promising hurlers were Pat Reilly, a veteran of the team, and Joe McGrade, up from J.V. Rounding out the team in pitching were Ronnie Bellistri and Doug Warned. Nine men comprise a team; all positions are important. Out on the field and always ready to do their share were veterans Bob Armstrong, Ryan Bolinder, Doug Brimlow, John Cappello, Bill Doyle, Sid Harvey and Richard McCarthy. Bowling Coach: R. Noble Our bowling team ended the season with a fine record. They vied for first place in their section and placed sixth out of twenty-four teams in the South Shore League. A few can do much. Proof of this was shown by the six members of the team —juniors, John Tierney, Jim Wrocklage, Kevin O’Brien, and sophomores Bruce Miller, James Guller and Bill Karer. Mr. Robert Noble, their coach, is looking forward to an even better season next year, when all members will be returning. L-R: P. Armstrong, W. Carris, J. Tierney, B. Miller, K. O’Brien, J. Greller. Golf Team Standing L-R: J. Colucci, D. Waite, R. Young, J. Shapiro, S. Glaser, J. Birtch, P. Loftus, K. Lee, Mr. Ramsden. Second Row: A. Ortiz, R. Mazzarella. Front Row: R. Meunier, W. Martin, R. Waite. The 1964 LMHS Varsity Golf team, a combination of many promising newcomers and several “old Pros,” were expected to perform quite well during their spring season, under their new coach Mr. Thomas Ramsden. FORE! And the first man tees off. The squad was led by captain Dave Waite, a fine shooter returning from last year’s roster. Other standout returnees were seniors Jon Shapiro, Dave Young and juniors Joe Colucci and Adrian Schiess. 146 Girl's Hockey Bottom Row L-R: L. Tripp, L. Sobol, G. Morsch, D. O’Connor, B. Martin.

Pandolfi The girls proudly wearing their “Pantherette” jackets last fall were members of the girl’s hockey team. The teams were chosen by Miss Ryder from the girls who showed exceptional skill in the hockey intramurals. Both honor and reserve teams, under the direction of Miss Ryder and captains Jane Lynch and Jean Pan- dolfi, showed Lutheran, East Meadow, and Island Trees the terrific team spirit and good sportsmanship characteristic of Levittown Memorial teams.

Tartakow, J. Boroff, B. Cashion, J. McKeon. Fun was had by all when the girls on the volleyball teams from L.M.H.S. played against teams from such schools as Plainview, MacArthur, Lutheran, Island Trees, and East Meadow. The L.M.H.S. teams, under the direction of Mrs. Schiller and captains Jane Lynch (Honor Team), and Judy Crean (Reserve Team) had a good season. The Reserve team won four out of five games. The Honor team did not do as well, but cer- tainly showed the other schools the spirit and good sportsmanship of L.M.H.S. 148 Girl’s Basketball Bottom Roiv L-R: A. Maroney, G. Morsch, J. Crean. Second Row L-R: J. Anderson, J. Lynch, S. Tierney, L. Iripp. Top Row L-R: J. Pandolfi. C. Guiles, J. McKeon, C. Tresham, L. Kallich, L. Proctor, Coach: N. Ryder. Although they failed to have winning records, the girl's honor and reserve basket- ball teams played hard and well in their encounters with Island Trees, East Meadow, Division Avenue, and Lutheran High Schools. Win or lose, these girls coached by Miss Nancy Ryder, kept up the true Memorial spirit. 149 Track an The Entire Team The Panthers sprang forward with a promising track season. Since track is a sport in which the individual is more important than the team as a whole, praise was given to Mike Reilly and Ronald MacArthur in the 440; Greg Donaldson, Jeff Shaw and Bob Smith in the -mile; Mike McAdams and Jerry Fountain in the mile; also, Robert Leahy in the pole vault, Corky Annand in the high jump; Ed Kane in the hop, skip, and jump; and Stu Wechter in the 220. We congratulate the team on a job well done. d Field Cross Country Bottom Roto L-R: Mr. T. Isoldi (coach), M. Terrone, K. Cunningham, M. McAdam, W. McDonald, T. McCarthy. Top Row L-R: J. Fountain, G. Donaldson, Frank Mehm. The L.M.H.S. cross country team had a fine season this year compiling a 5 win 7 loss record. Had there not been injuries to several key runners, this season could have been the most successful ever. Coach Theodore Isoldi did a fine job of building the team and encouraging in- terest in Cross Country. Mr. Isoldi has high hopes for next year’s team due to the return of Kevin Cunningham, an experienced runner, and several outstanding prospects from this year’s team, Terry McCarthy, Mike Terrone, and Mike Mc- Adams. Stalwarts ol this year’s team were Senior captain Gerry Fountain, number one run- ner on the squad, and Senior veterans Dave Dennis, Greg Donaldson and Frank Mehm. 152 Tennis L to R: Back—Coach Jordan, J. Cappel, K. Sager, B. Gordon, G. Nelson. Front—A. Levine, K. Abasolo, R. Rose. Back and forth over the net the ball goes. Not too many people are able to hit the small white tennis ball time after time, but the boys on the LMHS tennis team have practiced many long hours to achieve it. Spectators are not so numerous at tennis matches as they are at the more popular spectator sports. Why? When one sees a good tennis player in action he is likely to become envious. This was why Coach John Jordan, a former professional tennis player, Bruce Gordon, the captain, and Jon Cappel, co-captain, were not disturbed by the lack of fans at the matches. High scorers for the team were Captain Gordon, Co-captain Cappel and George Nelson, a promising sophomore. Although the team did not win the sectional championship, Coach Jor- dan cheerfully said, “We will try again next year.” Co-captains J. Cappel and B. Gordon Wrestling Front Row L-R: J. Puskas, T.

The 1964 Varsity Wrestling team can proudly look back on the past season as one of the best in Memorial annals. The squad, this year under the able direction of Mr. Philip Wolfe, finished in second place with a 6-1 league record. The team performed exceptionally well during the Section III Championships. In this tourna- ment eight Memorial wrestlers placed in the top brackets. Two boys, Tom Donahue, only a freshman, and Bob Farrell, a promising junior, brought home gold medals. Seniors, Tim Cromwell, Jeff Springer, Dan Walsh, George Wanser and sophomores, Joe Puskas and Jim Hennegan were the other medal winners. The squad’s co-captains, Tim Cromwell and George Hudson, said that the outlook for next season is brightened by the fact that four of the Section III winners will return. 154 Golden Page PARK HARDWARE 303 Wantagh Avenue Levittown, New York DESFS TRUCKING, INC.

Captions 179 In Memoriam Mrs. Phyllis Weill On Monday, October 21, 1963, the student body and faculty of Levittown Memorial were saddened by the news of the death of Mrs. Phyllis Weill, for five years a member of the Physical Education Department. In the fall of 1958, with eight years of teaching experience behind her, Mrs. Weill joined the faculty here. For the past three years, with expert knowledge and athletic talent, she coached the girl’s hockey and basketball teams, which achieved very creditable records. Mr. Lawrence Desimone, chairman of the Physical Education Department, reflected about Mrs. Weill, “She was a thoughtful, talented, and unpredictable person who loved people and enjoyed sur- prising them.” Out of the clear blue sky she would bring in “Just a little something.” Many students will remember the red and black checked “good luck sock” which Mrs. Weill knitted for Mr. D. during the basketball season last year, Mr. Desimone continued “She was crazy about dancing—any kind of dancing. You could usually catch her improvising some small steps, anytime and anywhere; she wouldn’t feel the least bit inhibited. She was a very talented woman, and an excellent athlete—very few people knew just how good she was. She could beat me in basketball.” Mrs. Weill was a person who enjoyed every phase of physical activity. She was fond of skiing and tennis and was an excellent swimmer and dancer. When asked why she chose physical educa- tion as a career, she replied,” I have always enjoyed life, living subjects, and physical activities.” A flowering dogwood tree has been planted in the courtyard opposite the Main Office in memory of Mrs. Weill. The tree, presented by the faculty, administration, and students of LMHS, will have a plaque attached to it in memory of a dedicated woman. 180 181 Lest We Forget We observe today not a victoiy of party but a cele- bration of freedom—symbolizing an end as well as a beginning—signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed near- ly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is veiy different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe —the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—bora in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home ahd around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, op- pose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge—and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of new cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom—and to re- member that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up in- side. To those people,in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required—not. be- cause the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge—to convert our good words into good deeds—in a new alliance for progress— to assist free men and free governments in- cast- ing off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hos- tile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or sub- version anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house. To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instru- ments of peace, we renew our pledge of support— to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective—to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak—and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. Finally, to those nations who would make them- selves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction un- leashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our anus are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be 182 employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course—both sides overburdened by the cost of'modem weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war. So let us begin anew—remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate seri- ous and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms—and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of sci- ence instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and com- merce. Let both sides unite to heed in all comers of the earth the command of Isaiah—to “undo the heavy burdens . . . (and) let the oppressed go free.” And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungles of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor—not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace pre- served. All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the. first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to serv- ice surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms,' though arms we need—not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation”—a struggle against the common en- emies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, north and south, east and west, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few gen- erations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And, so my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His bless- ing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own. 183 President Kennedy was so contemporary a man—so involved on our world —so immersed in our times—so responsive to its challenges—so intense a participant in the great events and great decisions of our day, that he seemed the very symbol of the vitality and exuberance that is the essence of life itself. Never once did he lose his way in the maze; never once did he falter in the storm of spears; never once was he intimidated. Like the ancient prophets he loved the people enough to warn them of their errors. And the man who loves his country best will hold it to its highest standards. He made us proud to be Americans . . . We shall not soon forget that as the leader of a great nation he met and mastered his responsibility to wield great power with great restraint. “Our national strength matters,” he said, “but the spirit which informs, and con- trols, our strength matters just as much.” We shall not soon forget that he held fast to a vision of a world in which the peace is secure; in which inevitable conflicts are reconciled by pacific means; in which nations devote their energies to the welfare of all their citi- zens ; and in which the cast and colorful diversity of human society can flourish in a restless, competitive search for a better society. We shall not soon forget that by word and by deed he gave proof of pro- found confidence in the present value and the future promise of the United Nations. And we shall never forget these ambitions, these visions, these convictions that so inspired this remarkable young man and so quickened the quality and tempo of our times in these fleeting past three years. And our grief is com- pounded by the bitter irony that he who gave his all to contain violence, lost his all—to violence. Now he is gone. Today we mourn him. Tomorrow and tomorrow we shall miss him. And so we shall never know how different the world might have been had fate permitted this blazing talent to live and labor longer at man s unfinished agenda for peace and progress for all. . .
