Once we looked upward and wondered — Then took a step. i ' otv we look downtvard and know — The ladder can he, has been, climbed. There is time now to reflect on the journey — The long, tedious, ultimately rewarding ascent upward. Hotv many of us would have fallen long ago, If not for those along the way who stood to guide and encourage Hotv many would have stumbled on the rungs If the hands strong and firm, had not reached down And gripped our own — seeing us safely onward On our steady climb. •A The journey ivas long. In the beginning — looking at the towering spiral above us — The top could hardly be seen And yet, it teas a top all of us felt we must reach. It hung above us like a dream And each of us knew The challenge it presented could not be ignored. The gift if offered was priceless. And now? Now, the final pinacle has been achieved — The guiding hands reluctantly given up — for The last rung in the ladder has been reached, The gift most valued — . finally ours. Yet, our packs must stay upon our backs, Our eyes may dtvell for just a moment on the sun, For even as our task is finished There are other ladders to be begun. And so our top becomes a bottom And our end — a neiv beginning. For a moment, our eyes again search upward, and wonder And then, firmly, we begin the climb. by Linda Ganon I School . J i J : 1 I | )1. a ladder in life . . . November 30, 1966 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Dear Graduates, Each generation of high school graduates seems to have something distinctive about it. My own generation was marked by a depression psychol- ogy. I was graduated from high school in 1932. You don ' t have to remember much economics to recall that this was the year in which the Great Depres- sion was at its height (or should I say depth). Graduates of my generation, even during the two post World War II decades of prosperity, still think back to those depression days. We find it difficult to get used to high rents and high prices, typical these days, even though our incomes have soared. Your generation, the class of 1967, is a forward looking generation. You are ascending a ladder that reaches to the moon. You are at the beginning of a period of space exploration when the expression the sky is the limit is musty with age. In selecting ladders for the theme of your yearbook you are looking not only forward but upward. You are too sophisticated a group to need reminding that you are nowhere near the top of your personal ladder. Yet, in winning a high school diploma, you have shown a capacity for getting things done. Some of you have reasons for feeling proud of your record at L.I.C. Others, on reflec- tion, may feel that you might have achieved more. This is a healthy feeling. It is the kind of feeling that holds the promise that you will be moving up the ladder. Even if you have to step down a rung or two on your upward climb, it is the capacity for self-criticism that can move you closer to the top. I have been on something of a ladder myself since 1932. And I am glad that the rung reached (the top, insofar as I am concerned) permits me to be your principal during this happy year of your graduation from high school. My best wishes for a successful climb go with you. Sincerely, J«J« «ja J 5 . « ; j$c c T2A7 I feel that youth today have had the advantage of an affluent society, and that it is only the minority who have indicated a sense of rebellion. I feel those without responsibility to parents and the communi- ties will modify their rebellious attitude with increased maturity as they assume, for one, family respon- sibilities. %, %, Tfy I do not see any contradiction between a student who strives for high marks and a student who is seek- ing the best of education. riethmg sychol- lember Jepies- ■ration, k back Is and I, rt.

Roth CO-OP PROGRAM The Cooperative Education Program which was introduced at Long Island City High School in 1962 has taken root and become an important branch of the educational life of our school. The concept of a combined educa- tional, work experience program has been operating successfully for more than 50 years in over 40 of our city high schools. The values of this pro- gram to students, parents and the bus- iness community has been confirmed by the recent Board of Education an- nouncement to try and expand the Cooperative Education into every reg- ular high school. To the student who is planning to enter the business world after gradua- tion, what better role can the school serve than to provide actual, super- vised, paid job experience while also completing the requirements for a high school diploma? Our Co-op students have been exposed to the importance of responsibility, conscientiousness, ac- curacy, initiative and the standards of good job performance. Long Island City High School can be proud of its Co-op students on the job was the way one business supervisor summarized his attitude. Being alert to the stand- ards of the business community, has made the Co-op student strongly aware of the importance of a good education. As the Coordinator of the program, Mr. Rubin feels that with an increas- ing number of firms requiring qualified, dependable students, L.I.C. ' s Coopera- tive Program can look forward to the future with great optimism. S.T.E.P. PROGRA? STEP is a practical way in which a boy can stay in school, learning his required subjects, while he works. The students in this program attend school in the morning and work in the after- noon. Mr. Roth, the coordinator of STEP, visits his students on the job, watching and advising them. Problems that may arise on the job are discussed in the classroom so that everyone benefits. STEP ' S objective is to prepare boys for skills needed to get a job, to keep the job and to advance. 16 Oj HJI H C.R.M.D. Mrs. H. Weingarten Mrs. A. Tirschwell O.T.W. Mrs. S. Shulman PRE -MEDICAL TECH. PROGRAM The Pre-Medical Tech. Program is geared to prepare students for further study in the field of Medical Technol- ogy. Through guest speakers, visits to hospitals and laboratories, and labora- tory experiments, students are intro- duced to the various facets of work available in this field. 17 1 M M ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT The sounds of business machines and minds can be heard clicking in the Accounting Department. Students going into the business world will profit from the foundations received in such areas as bookkeeping, record keeping, commercial law, business mathematics, office machines, and merchandising.

In addition to the regular English classes, the following classes are of- fered: journalism, speech, advanced placement, modified and honors classes, English as a second language, and creative writing.

A student seeking a commer- cial diploma will be trained in typing, stenography, clerical practice, and secretarial practice. Mrs. M. Landman Mrs. Y. Friedman 24 Miss F. Laser Miss A. Garanes •-f Try -■ ■ —  - -ti Mrs. Y. Friedman Mathematics is the rock upon which all other sciences are built. At Long Island City High School we try to broaden our knowledge by visualizing our problems mathematically. Many modern types of mathematics courses have been developed to help us con- front the problems of the future. The Mathematics Department at L.I.C. has provided studies in algebra, trigonometry, and pre-college mathe- matics. Mr. I. Altman, Chairman MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Miss A. Nelson Mr. I. Carlin Mr. I. Glick, Chairman Mrs. M. Clorfeine Mrs. R. Catenaccio ■■MH Mrs. B. Prince t I The world is said to have become .mailer through the spread of com- nunication. Foreign languages have telped the world to understand the leeds of our neighbors. With this in nind, the Language Department has iven us a view of the customs, which ere brought here by our ancestors. Our Language Department has set side the following curriculum: French, atin, Spanish, Italian, and a recent dded attraction, the Spanish news- aper. L.JJ s ■  ■ b . 3 L r — Miss B. Scharfman LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT 29 Mrs. R. Levy ■ SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Science Department is one in which our school has great pride. With the help of our science staff we were able to win numerous prizes, at the Science Fair, which benefited the school as well as the individual stu- dents. The courses of study offered to LLC. students are: chemistry, biology, phy- sics, a course in science projects, tools and materials of science and also the Search and Research, science magazine. Mr. T. Arrington Mr. A. Penzer, Chairman Mr. G. Garramone SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT Dr. L. Gelber, Chairman History is said to repeat itself. With the guidance of the Social Studies Department, we are able to recognize the pros and cons of history; we are able to foresee the obstacles which will make history repeat itself , and most important, we are able to appre- ciate the work of our forefathers. The History Department has provided us with the following classes: Ameri- can history, world history, economics, geography, and problems of democracy. Mr. J. Landes, Chairman Mr. L. Myers Mrs. F. Harris Mr. L. Kanner Mrs. T. Chesney Mrs. C. Raphael 33 Mrs. C. Nagler Mr. I. Stansky 35 Mr. I. Dinkin, Chairman Mrs. E. Ennis In our civilization which seems bent on suicide, it is difficult to visualize progress which is leading to some meaning in our existence. Is there a logical, scientific level on which we are traveling? With the tremendous amount of inner quiet, emptiness and frivolity that confronts us everyday, can anyone predict a significant future? Perhaps art will lead the way be- cause the meaning of a work of art does not require anything to be proved. It merely needs to be enjoyed and that makes immediate sense. Art is a re- statement of the senses and emotions, as a track to the actuality of experi- ence. Art offers a fulfilled life in a per- sonalized awareness of what is really a moral ideal, a life of harmony, of peace. DEPARTMENT J0 £ Jm . Mr. H. Groening INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT 38 The Industrial Arts Department trains students in the skills of handling woods, metals, and machine parts. Students engage in various projects to learn a trade or to gain pleasure. The woodshop contributed a well- constructed stairway to serve as a set for the spring drama production. Mr. J.

Pollack 42 GIRL ' S HEALTH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT President Kennedy helped the youth of this era realize that, the world of today belongs to the physically fit. It is from this statement that our Health Education Department helps to stimulate the vibrance and vitality which seem to be lacking in the pres- ent generation. We are put through rigorous tests which help to strengthen our bodies as well as our minds. The Health Education program in- cludes training in the following skills: gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, ski- ing, tennis, baseball, soccer, handball, fencing, cross-country, and weightlift- ing. Mrs. R. Silver Miss E. Alexander The greatest gift that man can give to himself is knowledge. The only way one can achieve such knowledge is through reading. Our Long Island City library has been given the finest books and textbooks, which will help the stu- dent enrich his mind. Certain classes such as: How to find a book? have been arranged so as to help those in need. Only if one reads can one climb higher and higher on the ladder of success. LIBRARIANS Mrs. S. Smith Mrs. R. Bassuck HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT To be able to contribute to the wel- fare and happiness of a family group s one of the most worthwhile and satisfying activities in life. This re- quires a knowledge of homemaking in all its phases. The Home Economics Department provides courses in foods, clothing, and family living to prepare the home- makers of tomorrow. Though rock V roll is the interna- tional language of all teenagers, the Music Department serves to inspire L.I.C. students by introducing the great works of the classical and contempor- ary periods through music apprecia- tion classes.

The increased use of films, slides, tape recordings and many other Visual- Audio Aids made it necessary to pro- vide students to handle all this equip- ment. Thus, the Visual Aids Squad was formed. Members of the squad are taken from the study hall for each period of the day plus Home Room. They must be G.O. members and have good scho- lastic and conduct records. Some of these boys have had training in the Jr. High School but most are taught how to handle the large variety of equip- ment by veteran squad members. Squad members receive one service credit for five periods of service per week. They receive valuable training in the handling and repair of all types of audio-visual equipment and the satis- faction of giving service to the school. Last but not least we have a number of girls on the squad who take care of all clerical work. Many of these girls learn to run the equipment for their own satisfaction. HUMAN RELATIONS CLUB The Human Relations Club was formed to improve human relations in the school and in the community. Among the special projects of the club was a debate on the Civilian Review Board, an Ethnic Festival, and after- school discussions of world, national and school-wide importance. MR.

MICHAEL DIEGUEZ, Coach Fencing Team Shows Promise All for one and one for all (g a apt slogan for L.I.C. fencers. Left to right: Joe Pares, Ernest Myers, Rus- sell Linneball, Rill Grant, and James Rubas. FENCING 76 By Randy Amengual Fencing fans can look forward to an exciting season next fall. Coach Dieguez added his agreement: We have overwhelming potential for the coming year. This past season was a disappoint- ment for Captain William Grant. He suggests that unusually strong op- position was a key factor in our record : 1 win, 2 ties, and 5 losses. Ernest Myers, co-captain, was L.I.C. ' s best individual fencer. His speed, aggressiveness, and hard work earned him a qualification for the New York City Individual Champion- ships. Completing this season with a 9-7 record, Myers was responsible for the swordsmen ' s only victory over Franklin K. Lane High School. Next year ' s experienced veterans will be Robert Mason who finished the season with a li-2 record, William Garcia, Willard Hartley, Ronald Detres, .lames Rubes, and Hector Blanco.

The teat has more confidence, and now the know what they are capable of a complishing, stated Coach Johnso as he described the team ' s latest vk tory over Grover Cleveland H.S. Th victory put the team in fourth plac in our division. Our record is no three wins and three losses, but mori important we have won three out our last four games. The only losin effort was at the hands of NewtOW) H.S.; we lost this game by a mer two pins. Thus far, our top bowlers appea to be inconsistent. However, an ex ception is Bruce Smilowitz who ha recorded scores of 190 and 177 in ou victory over Aviation and our loss t Newtown.

The select group of the year is, of course, the seniors, who have one thing in mind — graduation! This month was really a bit confusing with program changes, college applications, job opportunities, etc. But, of course, the confusion wasn ' t enough without the demand for money. Dues for G.O. senior dues ($15.00), dues for this, dues for that, (phew) Most of the confusion was under control until the senior rings came in. For one week, all one heard was, Turn my ring, (47, 55-67 turns are quite a lot). I don ' t think the senior class will ever settle down; we ' re too excited. Dear Diary, October, 1966 I would like to introduce our new Principal— Dr. Howard L. Hurwitz. Dr. Hurwitz came to us from Jamaica High School, and we are happy to have him with us. This month began with the Regents Scholarship Examination. (I heard it was a beauty.) The seniors have been busily taking pictures at Rappaport Studios (those lucky photographers). There ' s a new addition to the senior purchases this year, a Senior Sweatshirt, which costs $2.40. Our mascot, the penguin, is printed in the middle of it. That senior feeling is catching on! Dear Diary, November, 1966 We started this month off with winning the Bryant vs. Long Island City Faculty Game, 52-34!! That was some game. The cheers were loud and clear for L.I.C. Our mascot attended the game. He ' s a paper-stuffed penguin. His name is Leroy. There ' s really nothing more to say this month except— Happy Thanks- giving. Dear Diary, December, 1966 December 3, was the date for the S.A.T. Examination. On December 9, we held our Talent Show. The Soundwaves was the group chosen to play for the Senior Reception. Talent ' 67 was held in Demarest Hall with Mr. Leichus, host. We were all sad to hear that Mr. Leichus will be leaving for Miami, Florida to begin his career as radio announcer. It looks like L.I.C. may come out in first place in basketball. We have won every game so far. (Keep your fingers crossed.) The school is in near panic; as Christmas approaches, so do the mid- terms. I ' ll have to sign off ' till next year — Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. January, 1967 $ Dear Diary, Today is January 3rd, the first day back in school after our long vacation. We ' re all still floating around from New Year ' s Eve. (Even the teachers, they ' re human too!) Our Senior Recreation was planned for December 23, but was postponed to January 13. It was a success. Another vacation is coming up. Some of us are taking Regents on the 25th and the 26th. I think I ' ll sign off for this month. February, 1967 Dear Diary, 118 I ' m back! Boy, that vacation did us all a bit of good. Now the trouble begins — new teachers, new rooms, and mass confusion. L.I.Cians are very proud of our basketball players. They beat all of South Queens. (Well most of it!) John Adams High School beat our boys. (Very good show boys!) February 7 and 8th, we had no school because of the blizzard. Lucky us, but what a mess! May, 1967 Dear Diary, We ' re starting this month with our mid- terms. What a relief to get them out of the way. We ' ll have to start to work harder though; those Regents should be beautiful. The Senior Show is being put together; I never knew we had so many actors and ac- tresses in the Senior Class. The Show should be a great success, and why not— all those wonderful Seniors are in it!! (I ' m a little preju- dice.) It looks like Spring Fever has stricken Long Island City High School. All the kids are walk- ing around in a daze. It ' s luvly to be young and in luv. Pretty soon Senior Day will come around and then we ' ll get REVENGE. Oh! We can ' t forget the Senior Reception; what a swingin ' success that was, one the Seniors will never forget. Closing ' till next month! June, 1967 March, 1967 Dear Diary, This month was started off with 40 of our own L.I.C. ' ers going to Clay Cole ' s Discotheque. I am sure that all of them had a good time, and can ' t wait to see themselves on television. Friday, March 3, we had our Student Faculty Game. We are now having our Baby Picture Contest, and all the cuties are coming into the action. You wouldn ' t believe some of the pictures. Well, time will tell! Prom-bids go on sale. There ' s another $5.00 gone. Happy Easter! See you next month. April; 1967 Dear Diary, A law was just passed,, that all kids require no schooling!! (April Fool!) There wasn ' t much excitment this month. Toward the end of the month, though, there were a few holidays that all of us appreciated. Now we ' ll have to start getting busy studying for our mid-terms and the Regents, but let ' s worry about that when the times comes. Oh! There was terrible confusion in the auditorium when the lights were turned on and, so acclaimed, termites were flying around. Well, I ' ll sign off and see youn next month! Dear Diary, This month has been packed with things for Seniors, both good and bad; although we wish the fun could go on and on, all good things come to an end; our Senior year must draw to a close. The most joyous occasion was the Prom. It was held at the Monaco Surf Club , at 7:30 p.m., on June 10th. You wouldn ' t believe what a dinner jacket or a gown could do for some of the kids you knew as plain Joe and plain Jane. After settling down from the Prom, every- body had to come back down to Earth and study for those Regents and final exams. After all that studying, I think we licked ' em. Now all we have to do is await the big day, GRAD- UATION!! (Those caps and gowns are too much!) Well, we ' ve finally reached the day of look- ing back at our years in Long Island City High School and thinking of the good times and bad and all the friends that were made, both teachers and kids alike. Some of these friend- ships will end at graduation; others will go on. We came and conquered and we must go onward with fond memories of Long Island City High School, the place where we started our journey of life. This is the End of the Beginning. 119 We, the seniors of Long Island City High School of the class of 1967, being of sound mind, hereby bequeath one ladder, to be divided as follows: To Dr. Hurwitz we leave the foundation of our ladder, for without a foundation nothing can exist, and without you, L.I.C. would not exist as it does today. To the Guidance Staff we bequeath the first step of our ladder, for without you, we would not have had the stamina to attempt the long climb. To the Programming Staff we leave the second step, for with- out your designations we would not b e where we are today. To the Maintenance Staff we leave the third step of our lad- der, for without you our ladder would not be in the condi- tion (and we would have gotten many more splinters), that it is in. To the Cafeteria Staff we leave the fourth step for food fortifies the body, and we will continue to need fortifica- tion as we trek upwards. To the Medical Staff we leave the fifth step for you mended our bruises as we fell on theladder — and sent us on our way again. To the English Department we bequeath the sixth step for it was you who taught us to read, write, and comprehend what the word ladder means. To the Language Department we leave the seventh step for you taught us how to communicate with the other people on our ladder. To the Math Department we bequeath the eighth step for it was you who taught us to count the steps on our ladder. To the Health Education Department we bequeath the ninth step for you gave us the dexterity of movement to make the climb. To the Social Studies Department we bequeath the tenth step for it was you who taught us to understand the ladders of other countries. To the Secretarial Studies Department we leave the eleventh step equipped with all the business of the world! To the Secretarial Staff we leave the twelfth step for it was you who kept our records, and guarded them, and sent them on enabling us to progress to our chosen destinations. To Miss Albanese we leave the thirteenth step which is made of love, for without you this ladder would not have been written. To Mr. Kanner we leave a step which is made of sugar, spice, and our thanks for making everything so nice. To All Future Seniors we leave the last step and all the air beyond it for it is up to you to grab that air, and do what you can do with it. 120 There is a child And he says, Teach me. The wondering, curious, discovering child — Awed at the beauty, the rhythm, the process. Teach me to know How and where is my world, and why I am me, Where do I end and all others begin? Teach me. There is a youth And he says, Teach me. The reaching, unfolding, surging youth. Teach me to understand What and why is the universe, What is my part of the joy and the toil, How do I join with all others? Teach me. There is a man The seeking, searching, uncertain man. Teach me to question, to probe, and to find. Teach me so that When a child comes forth I will know what to do when he says Teach me. ■1 ■OHHBI N. R. DRILLING CO.
