The Class of 1942 possesses the distinc- 1836 tion of being the last class whose fresh- b man president was kidnapped the night it before the trosh-soph rush. Phil Wein- W feld didn't know it then, but he was the be last of the dynasty of freshman heads yp T h r e e D 0 W II to feel the clutches of Mann Act evaders. th . . . At the end of that first year though, Mr. 111 Weinteld was replaced in ottice by a a th comparatively new Feb-Sept treshwo- ct man, Mary Maneri, who since has de- br veloped into an outstanding figure in m AND one t0 Go LIU news. Together with her in office w the second year were Peggy McCormick, gr Violet Murphy, and toe McCaul, as vice- th president, secretary, and treasurer, re- A: spectively. The first football team in th eight years represented LIU that fall, ec and the majority of players were mem- th bers of the then sophomore class. Tt Not to be outdone, one of the newest th additions to the varsity basketball roster, Bi Hank Beenders, made LIU tans forget th for a while some of the outstanding wt players from years back. ke When elections came up again in the de spring, '42 was prepared to select two 1 AI of its members to hold the offices of Wm Ms ,, NW max V ' 3 I an; Ldv ' 4K'Rx . 4; --.v t u . wt . - ..u.;.n. a h 4., $1, AxA LLuA'JxA Lt,th $21!; UL'h-inzuvKLKKVifULLJLUKMALJ.L'gem. .,;'g .s .JJLVV h ...; . , .t, .

'J:: r ar'w a lo 4' M' i; ,, '93,; n U fr A7 ,9! ,' ' If 1', ' :4! secretary and treasurer of the S.S.G.A. phylhs Bob and Mike Rizzo, varsity toot- baller, were the chosen two, and in the class elections, all the former officers were re-elected except loe McCaul, who, because of illness, dropped out of school for one semester. Hal Fuchs became the new treasurer. In this, their junior year, 42 really came through. Not only did members of the class shine on the football field, the basketball court, and the baseball dia- mond, but led by Mary Maneri, they were instrumental in bringing about the greatest junior prom in the history of the school. That attair was held at the Astor Hotel on March 14, and it is to the credit of the whole Class that it eclipsed the success of the junior prom the previous year. The Class came through again when they started the movement to present Bill King with a trophy at the close of the football season, and With another when he concluded his collegiate bas- ketball career at Madison Square Gar- den against Butler University. Another gift of the junior class hangs on the wall of the BC? home basketball court. On it is written: llLong Island University e- National Basketball Cham- pions . 1938-39. Presented by the class of 1942. But back to the athletic conquests, it was Hank Beenders again, now a junior, who was one of the two LlU men to be selected on the Madison Square Garden All-Metropolitan quintet, together with Ossie Shechtman. Beenders also set the individual scoring record for the season at the Garden when he hit the cords for 23 points against Canisius. h their service for their ent out and helped the Varsity Dance committee make this an- nual all-university affair, held this year at Manhattan Beach, the success it was.
