I i 8...; w .w XX tnly the Beginnin With that piece of pie in our grasp we launched our campaign to set the world eoh well, Brooklyne-on tire. The first project undertaken was a skating party for the entire school, to be followed by a theatre party. The skating party went through as planned, but the visit to the theatre was merged with the university- sponsored party to see Helen Hayes and Maurice Evans in Twelfth Night. The Varsity Dance was the next big social event an the university calendar, and '44 led all other classes in the num- ber of representatives on the honorary football eleven selected for that affair. This aii-ieminine team included fresh- women Ann Tonnesen, Marie Lisbona, Tonia Senia, Doris Weiss, and Marjorie Bogat among those honored. By far the outstanding achievement, athletically, that the class of '44 can point to is the record of the freshman basketball team, hailed by Coach S. I. Picarieilo as the greatest in the history of LIU. F or the entire first semester there were only eight men on the squad but they were sufficient to maintain un- defeated status, and when reinforcements came after mid-year examinations, the larger group breezed through the re- maining part of the schedule. Four men from Madison High, Brooklyn, were the nucleus of the team. Stan Waxman, Lennie and Howie Rader, and Freddie Lewis, teaming up again after great high school careers, found Irv Rothenberg, Luke Sapan, George Syby, and Bernie Lenowitz as their new co- horts in the start of their collegiate careers. At the beginning of the Febru- ary semester, George Veyosovich, Stan Fronscak, and Hal King, the younger brother of Bill HDolly King, also joined the squad. That is the beginning, and like the Brooklyn Dodgers we can say, Iust waitiil next yeart' Then you'll really see something.
