1 REVELATIONS Published by ihe Senior CUiss of 1967 Longwood High School Middle Island, New York Ediior-in-chief: Diana Scesny Advisor: Mr. Charles Anderson Volume IV Member, Columbia Scholastic Press Association Artwork by Lynn Hu I sc J REV ELA TIONS “A rid I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away. ” -REVELATIONS 21:1 Contents Dedication 6 Administration 8 Faculty 16 Seniors 30 Underclassmen 54 Honors 66 Activities 78 Sports 98 Special Events 120 Advertising 138 3 . . . and we reach a time in our lives which may be called an apocalypse. For some, this sense of revelation is the natural progression of a metaphysical process. For others, it is a harsh awakening. It may happen in the mudflats of Viet Nam, or during the sudden tears at graduation. It may clutch at our throats during a deep sleep, forcing us to watch the fearful dawn with apprehension. It may whisper quietly to us with the turning of a page; it may jar us with the swift cacaphony of an auto wreck. It may be the look of gratitude from a troubled friend; it may be the note of humanity in an enemy's voice. Somewhere; during the frenzied rush between classes, or along a lonely, rain-washed street, the apocalypse occurs. We may even find it in a twisted branch, in the wavering of beach grass, in a ravaged piece of driftwood. When the apocalypse occurs, how it occurs: these are irrelevant. The importance lies in that it happens, to all of us. And for that we are thankful. 1 6 When we cheered at football and basketball games, he was there as a coach. When we badly needed decorations for our freshman dance, he went to Chinatown for them. When we felt we deserved senior rings in our junior year, he helped us get them. Because he has been a part of all that we have achieved, we, the class of 1967, dedicate Revelations '67 to our advisor, Mr. Donald Crosby. 7 ADMINISTRATION ... So too is the river channeled from its hidden source, in the design of the creator, until its waters meet the timeless DR. FOSTER H. HOFF 10 DR. FOSTER HOFF was born and raised in Turner's Falls, Massachusetts. He received his B.A. and M.A. at Colgate and his Ed.D. at New York University. He spent five years at Lockport, New York, as a teacher of math and science. In Freeport, he was curriculum coordinator, guidance counselor and Assistant Principal. 1967 marked his sixth year as Principal of Longwood High School. As a man of diversified interests, he participates in all sports, especially golf, swimming, and tennis. Listening to all types of music and attending school concerts is also a favorite pastime. Dr. Hoff enjoys gardening, but if he can’t be spotted among the tulips, he is probably fulfilling his reputation as an extensive reader. Dr. Hoff has a positive attitude toward Longwood and its faculty. He feels there are few schools where the staff cares as much about the students . Our tremendous improvement has kept Longwood in good standing with the surrounding schools. Dr. Hoff feels that due to our continual progress, we are standing on solid ground and will be in good shape for the future. MR. ROBERT BULLOCK origi_ nally from Trenton, New Jersey, has been Assistant Principal of Longwood for five years. After serving in the army, he attended Rider College, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. In 1958, he received his M.S. from Hofstra University. Before coming to Longwood, Mr. Bullock was a commercial teacher in Farmingdale. At the same time he held the position of business manager at a girls camp in Maine and also owned an accounting business. He then moved to Cape May, New Jersey, where he was the principal of Riverside High School. From there he came to Longwood. Mr. Bullock enjoys gardening, being with his family, and travelling around the country. 11 Mr. Donald Fingar Mr. Elbert Smith Mr. Joseph Carrabus President Mr. John McMahon, Jr. Mr. Charles Roselius Mr. Frederic VanDervoort Mr. Tyrcll Wilson Mr. Arthur Minardi Elected representatives of the community, these men have given much of themselves in an untiring effort to improve the way of life for thousands of human beings. For this we are grateful Mr. Arthur Wright Vice-President 12 With mixed feelings of pride and regret, we wished DR. LOUIS V. NANNINI good fortune as he assumed his new duties as District Superintendent of the Brentwood School System in January. Brentwood is one of the largest districts in the state. Known and respected throughout the area for his pioneering spirit, his sense of sportsmanship, and his vigorous leadership, Dr. Nannini will be profoundly missed by students, teachers and parents alike. DR. JOHN MULLEN, who served as Assistant Supervisor in the Huntington School System, has since been welcomed as the Superintendent of the Middle Island Schools. We look forward to a long and pleasant association. The ebullient wit and financial acumen of MR. JOHN ANASTASI, the Assistant District Principal, carried us through the transitional period. Mr. Anastasi is responsible for all of the business affairs of the district, a thankless task which calls for wisdom--and a sense of humor. Dr. Louis V. Nannini Dr. John Mullen 13 Mr. John Anastasi Mr. John A. Masem Mr. Willard A. Monsell Director of Guidance Miss Barbara I. Magic Mr. James P. Donovan The Guidance Department has the staggering task of scheduling all the students. To help Juniors and Seniors select colleges, they have provided information and have arranged for visitors from colleges to meet with them. For those students who plan to work after graduation, Guidance helps in the selection of careers suitable to their talents. They have also helped future seventh graders by familiarizing them with Longwood as a building and a secondary school. Mrs. Miller and her new assistant, Mrs. Le-win, file medical reports and care for students who have become sick. Mr. Walker has succeeded in making our library an efficient, pleasant place of study. 14 Mrs. Henrietta Miller Nurse Mr. Earl H. Walker Librarian Mrs. Zelda Becht Mrs. Anna Engelhardt The secretarial staff plays a significant role in carrying out the functions of the Administration. Mrs. Zelda Becht, the librarian secretary, is helping Mr. Walker and Mrs. Ruffing to produce an efficient library. Mrs. Pamela Janson and Mrs. Eleanora Molten help the Guidance Department run smoothly. Mrs. Anna Engelhardt, Mrs. Mary Kammer and Mrs. Jean Seitz are actively employed in the main office. Mrs. Mary Kammer 15 Mrs. Pamela Janson Mrs. Jean Seitz FACULTY . . . As the artist creates, so are we molded to a pattern. Unlike the artisan's craft, our function is not one defined by limits, but free to find its purpose. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HAS ACTIVE YEAR ■ Mr. Charles Anderson Chairman Mr. Joseph Bigham Mr. Allen Berg The English Department has played an important role in every student's academic program. It has also made great progress in rounding out the student by introducing literary achievements in areas other than books. Full-length movies have found a part in our curriculum. Citizen Kane, Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Mouse That Roared, O'Henry's Full House, Great Expectations, Johnny Tremain, and Raisin In the Sun were viewed by the Longwood student audiences. Field trips this year have been numerous. On the trips to New York City, students saw Barefoot In the Park, Fiddler On the Roof, Romeo and Juliet (presented by the Old Vic Repertory Company), and the Andrew Wyeth Show at the Whitney Museum. You Can’t Take It With You was seen at a neighboring high school. The students who took part in the annual trip to the Shakespearean Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, saw Midsummer Night's Dream. The Emerald Eye has been issued monthly, and Horizons has now been increased to two issues yearly. Electives in drama, journalism, and cinematography for twelfth year students are being planned. Mrs. Mary Byers Miss Esther Eisenberg Mrs. Muriel Hammega _y Miss Jane Hutson Mr. Michael Krivit 19 LONG WOOD'S LINGUISTS OFFER VARIED PROGRAM The purpose of the Foreign Language Department is to teach the student howto speak, read, and write the language. Filmstrips, records, and tapes are used to supplement the textbook material. A knowledge of the foreign country's cultural background and present-day events are also a part of the curriculum. The language laboratory helps to develop pronunciation, comprehension, and fluency. An advanced course is offered to fifth-year students who work on independent reading of classical and contemporary works. The French Club has taken a trip to New York to see a French film entitled, Un Homme, Une Femme, followed by a dinner at the restaurant in the United Nations. The Spanish students went on a field trip to Adelphi University in Garden City to see La Dama Boba . They also took an all-day excursion to see the Man From La Mancha in New York City. « Mrs. Louise Curtiss Mrs. Charlotte Rasmussen Mr. Norman Rifkin Chairman Mrs. Nellie Paulonis Mr. Michael Freer Mrs. Nancy Walter BUSINESS DEPARTMENT TRA VELS FAR Mrs. Elsie Lauper Miss Ann Eggars Mr. John McCarrick Tlie Business Department has the responsibility paring students for a future in the business work acquaint one with the functions of a business, the sponsored field trips to the Concord Hotel and Ma Herald Square.

For those girls interested in Home Economics as a career, a visit to the Farmingdale Institute was made. Mrs. Corean Ruffin Mr. David Berningcr Mr. Ralph Gentile The Industrial Arts Department offers courses in wood and metal working, electricity, and mechanical drawing. These courses help prepare students for some of the more practical aspects of life. For obvious reasons, the students enjoy working on cars as well. Mr. Frank Massey Chairman SCIENCE DEPARTMENT EXPLORES THE I A sT FRONTIER Mr. David Christopher The Science Department has expanded greatly in the past few years. New subjects have been added to the curriculum. Earth Science and Biological Science are offered to the Seventh Grade, Physical Science to the Ninth Grade, and Earth Science for senior high school students. An advanced program in the cellular approach to biological science for twelfth-year students is presently in operation. This class has visited the research facilities of the Biology Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The junior high students have taken a trip to the American Museum of Natural History and the Hayden Planetarium. The Science Department has received National Science Foundation grants through the Waldemar Medical Research Institute, and students are partaking in these experiments. 24 Mr. Donald Crosby Mr. Jan Oosting Many science-oriented organizations such as the Skin-Divers Club, Ski Club, Junior and Senior Science Club, and Doctors of Tomorrow are part of our extracurricular activities. Mr. Carl Verdi 25 Mr. Stephen Jamieson Mr. Herbert Hermsdorf SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT CONTINUES PROVOCATIVE PROGRAM Mr. Richard Viera Chairman Mr. Guy Mastrion Mr. Robert O'Neill One of Longvvood's more productive areas, the Social Studies Department sponsored the Political Science Club field trip to Albany to see the state legislature in action. The Political Science Club also found the guest speaker from the John Birch Society to be very provocative. In the fall, cultural representatives from Ghana and Japan spoke to the Ninth Grade. The newest addition to the department's list of activities is a club sponsored by the Junior Division of the New York State Historical Society. The Yorkers, as they are called, study the history of New York State in an intensive manner. They are planning a project that will study the formation of Long Island from its origins in the glacial age. This project will compete with others from all over the state at the annual conference of the Yorkers held in Syracuse during May. Miss Patricia Novinski Mr. Warren Stoker Under the auspices of our new Physical Education Director, Mr. Alan Chase, the athletic program has had a most successful year. Two new sports have been added to the curriculum: golf and archery. Miss Carol Pratt Mr. Alan Chase Mr. Walter LaPrarie Coordinator PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ENLARGES PROGRAM 27 Mr. John DeLuca Mr. Philip White Miss Karen Hoefner Mr. Peter Strafaci The Art Department has contributed greatly to the social and cultural activities of Longwood High School. They have sponsored an Art Sale under the auspices of Ferdinand Roten Galleries ol' Baltimore, Maryland, featuring original graphic art. Next year, they hope to add sculpture and custom framing. A private art sale was held by the senior students. The Art and Music Departments, through much time and preparation, have brought us Festival '67, the fifth of its kind. A field trip to Lincoln Center and the Guggenheim Museum was taken by the students in the Humanities Course. The Art Department is planning an overnight trip to Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts. The Independent Workshop is a new program for senior art majors who construct their own programs under their advisor. This gives the student an opportunity to advance in the areas which interest him most. The Art Department also sponsored a Creative Christmas Ornament Contest, which the student body found very intriguing. Mr. Charles Sorrentino Miss Diane Bachmann The Music Department has had a busy year. The Marching Band opened Longwood's 1966 football season with the Alma Mater. The Pep Band rallied the spectators at the away games. The formal aspect of the Music Department has been extremely active. Longwood had twenty-one students participating in the All-State County Sectional Concert held at Port Jefferson. Two music students advanced to the All-State Choir, and went to the annual conference held in Buffalo for three days. Longwood had twenty junior high students participating in the County Music Festival at Wyandanch. Longwood was also the host school for the NYSSMA solo and ensemble contestants from surrounding schools. The Music Department produced an extremely successful version of Sound of Music in March. The Music Department ended this year with the Commencement Program for 1967. Mrs. Harriet Vosganian 29 Mr. William Jones Mr. Robert Quinn Coordinator Mr. John Bruno Mr. Anthony Ray SENIORS . . .

Your class is the last group which can recall the assemblies on the front lawn, the cow pasture athletic field, the Industrial Arts garage, the generator for temporary electricity, and a host of other novel experiences. You met that challenge and succeeding challenges effectively. You are the first graduating class to have spent six years at Longwood. During that time, Longwood has grown to 1200 students, a school of great pride and outstanding reputation. Throughout your tenure, your class has been instrumental in fostering a Spirit of Longwood . This loyalty will become a primary heritage of succeeding classes. This tradition embodies the building which we love for itself and for its associations. It is the faculty, encouraging students to become mature adults with sound values. It is the student body, growing physically, mentally, and socially. It is scholarship, the search for knowledge and ideas. It is the extracurricular program, a variety of opportunities to implement values. It is LONGWOOD, your school, a school from which thousands will graduate in the years to come. You have done much to create a heritage from which many will profit. Even as you have given, I hope that you have received. Certainly, it is to be hoped that the fine reputation which you have helped to create for Longwood will operate to your advantage. Above all, I hope you have gained insight to achieve maturity. There is no substitute for sound values and attitudes in seeking to live effectively with yourselves and your fellow man. At this point your long, yet short, journey is complete. We are proud of you as a group and as individuals. May I express my fondest wishes for happiness and success, as well as my heartfelt thanks for all that you have contributed to the Spii of Longwood . The results of your efforts will lij through the yfcars.

No, it is not fear that spurs him on, hut the chance to reach out and grasp the fleeting moment before him. SPEED, ENTHUSIASM, Longwood has a strong squad with lots of speed, enthusiasm, and courage. Our major disadvantage has been size. We have had strong-running backs and hard-hitting linemen, but the weight difference against most opponents has been extreme. Looking at statistics, Longwood has equaled most of our opponents in such categories as first downs and yards gained. The score from the usual last-minute touchdown tells the story. Longwood has had many outstanding players this year. Three Longwood ballplayers have been listed as Honorable Mention, All-League. They are Dave Hoff, Ray LaGala, and Gary Warner. Leon Robinson has been named to the second-string All-League Team. Mike Perretti and Jerry Neuss have been named to the first-string team. Most important of all, Jerry Neuss has been named to the first-string All-Suffolk and All-Long Island teams. Coach Chase is to be congratulated for a fine first year as Head Coach. He has been investigating a summer camp for next year's varsity to help the team in learning the basic football skills. With the many outstanding juniors returning for next season, the team’s potential is unlimited. We are looking forward to a promising season. Now here's the way I want you to do it!

We have broken records and made the county aware of Longwood High School's basketball potential. We have had the best won-lost record ever, with twelve wins and six losses. We finished in third place in league standings, which is the highest we have ever achieved. We had the best defensive record in the league. Mentioned as one of the top ten teams in Suffolk County, we went as high as eighth place. In the final game of the season, two other records were broken. Leon Robinson broke the high single score for a player, which Gene Allen held previously with 32 points, by scoring 33 points. This effort led to another record. By defeating Center Moriches with 84 points, we had the highest score ever by a team in our gymnasium. Of the five members of the All-League team, two of them were ours. Our captain, Leon Robinson, was named to this team as a guard, and 6'4 Ronald Manning was named to the team as a center. We were the only team in our league to defeat the league champions, Southhampton, and also defeated second place West-hampton twice. We narrowly missed the county play-offs in an extremely tight league race. Next year, we hope our boys will bring Long-wood its first basketball championship.

They have dedicated many hours in practicing for pep rallies and games, learning new cheers, making signs, and trying to arouse the spirit of the students to support the teams with the enthusiasm that they deserve. The varsity was presented with new sweaters by Mr. Kurt Ress. They sincerely appreciate this generous gift. The Student Council thoughtfully provided cheering coats. This has been a year of true support, due to the cooperation between the faculty, students, team members, and the cheerleaders. We had the misfortune of losing the advisor, Mrs. Flom, who moved to Florida. When she left, the cheerleaders gave her a charm to show their gratitude for her help. Miss DiBlasi will assume the responsibilities of advisor next year. We hope that next year's cheerleaders will continue to increase the spirit of the school and help to lead the teams to victory. no The girls' basketball team had a faily successful season this year. Our most consistent high scorer was Dianne Lee. In overtime play of the tournament game, we defeated East Islip by 2 points. Guard Beverly Boyd was named the Most Outstanding Player for the team. Many of the girls are returning next season. We should have a major advantage of height, along with the sense of team work gained this season.

This was unfortunate since we had high expectations for this season. The team consisted of mostly ninth and tenth graders, competing against boys with age and experience to their advantage. Outstanding wrestlers this season were: Tim Hough in the 98 11). class, Ken Dingle in the 136 lb. class, Capt. Fred Mitchell in the 130 lb. class, and Gary Warner in the heavyweight class. Some of our wrestlers placed in the league tournament. Tim Hough placed third, Russell Dingle placed second, Joe Coplan placed third, Ken Dingle placed second, and Gary Warner placed third. Our new coach, Mr. Henke, an outstanding wrestler himself, has brought much to the team. Longwood's baseball organization has had the potential to be a championship team for many years, but this year has finally brought the results to prove it. We are the League V champions, with a record that was the best in all of Suffolk County. For this outstanding accomplishment we have been presented with the Walt Williams Memorial Trophy. All season Long Island has been aware of the name LONGWOOD through constant mention in the newspapers. Great Scott , as he has been referred to, has the best won-lost record of any pitcher on Long Island, with 14 wins and 2 losses. When Coach LaPrarie is asked about his team's success, he explains that it wasn't the effect of any one person. He attributes this success to the great cooperation he has received from the coaching staff and the high degree of team spirit and ability that the boys have. The choice of seven of our starting ballplayers for outstanding honors is proof of this ability. Out of the sixteen boys named to the All-League team, seven of them were from Longwood. They were pitcher James Scott, catcher Jerry Neuss, first base-man Lance Lewin, second baseman Ken Fritz, shortstop Eric Brown, leftfielder Ronald Manning, and centerfielder Leon Robinson. More noteworthy, James Scott and Leon Robinson were named All-County. Jerry Neuss was named Honorable Mention in the county. We had a strong hitting team with a .308 overall batting average. Jerry Neuss led the team with a .400 batting average. We had seven home runs hit. Ronald Manning led with three. Eric Brown and Jerry Neuss each had two home runs. Since we were League V champions, we made the play-offs in the county tournament. In the first game, we defeated Grcenport by a score of 12 to 5, and went on to our second game. That game was against Half Hollow Hills, who defeated us, and went on to win the county championship. As far as the J.V. team went, the invincible Coach Mastrion has done it again this season. He had an undefeated season, and collected his 100th win of his career. We join in congratulating our boys in achieving something which they have worked so long and hard to accomplish. We hope to continue the tradition set by this year's ball club. With the heart of this championship team returning next season, we hope to go all the way and be proclaimed County Champions.

The Varsity Track team had the youngest and smallest team in Longwood's history. Out of twenty-five boys competing, there were ten freshmen and only two seniors. Despite the 3-3 league record, the team had some outstanding individual performers. Among these was Willie Wallace, who broke the school record in the 440-yard run with a time of 53.2 seconds. The mile medley team of Willie Wallace, Jimmy Fingar, Bob Clark, and James Malone broke the school record with a time of 3 minutes, 49 seconds. The team captains Bob Clark and James Malone, did an outstanding job. The relay team, consisting of Willie Wallace, Sam Jones, Bob Clark, and James Malone was named League 4, 5, and 6 Champions. Coach DeLuca is looking forward to a strong squad next year with all but two seniors returning—Dan Hreachmack and Ed Swanson. This squad will be supported by the return of such promising athletes as: Sam Jones in the long jump, Jimmy Fingar in the 440-yard run, Tom Gilbert and Bill Link in the mile run, James Karnback in the 2-mile run, Gary Warner with the shot and discus, Russel Judge in the pole vault, vault, Leon Simpson in the triple jump, and Gerry Whitaker in the 880-yard run.

THE QUEEN’S COURT Karen Nicolay David Hoff Anna Perrotta Jeff Linzer Sherry Griffin Jimmy Clyne Carol Woods Bill Lortie THE QUEEN AND HER ESCORT Anita Lombardo Ray LaGala Mr. Robert J. Quinn conducted the Longwood combined Bands in Christmas Festival and Sleigh Ride. The Concert Band later joined in with the Senior Chorus and presented the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah and Longwood's Alma Mater. Mr. William Jones, director of the Junior Band, made a hit by conducting old favorites of the Christmas season. The Junior Band also played Man of La Mancha . WINTER MUSIC FESTIVAL Longwood's Senior Chorus displayed their combined talents when they sang, among other pieces, All Ye Servants of the Lord and Hallelujah from Mount of Olives. It was trying for such a large chorus to learn these difficult pieces in time for the festival, but with the patience of their instructor, Mr. Anthony Ray, the chorus managed perfectly. The Tijuana Echoes don't need an instructor. Richie keeps the rhythm, Judy plays the melody and Harold, Scotty, Steve, Eddie, and Lynford fill in the extras producing harmonic sounds such as Freckles, A Taste of Honey, and Walk Don't Run. WTmnrr .v.v.v.v.v.v HHHH I Longwood High School presented the annual Winter Festival on December 19, 1966. The Winterama displayed Longwood's music organizations at their best. The program consisted of music which ranged from pop to classic.

RD AND NYE STAR AS OBERON AND TITAN IA On April 28th, Mr. Charles Anderson, Mi and Mrs. Joseph Lesser, Mr. Bari Walker, and 120 students travelled to Stratford, Connecticut to sec A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, which was staged as part of the . American Shakespeare Festival. FESTIVAL ’67 displayed the artistic and musical talents of Longwood's students. The Orchestra, Stage Band, Junior Band, Senior Band and Chorus ruses participated. Art projects from the classes and elementary schools were exhibited in the quadrangle. The PTA sold long playing mono-stereophonic rec ordings of the musical organiza tions of Longwood, from which the proceeds went to the Scholar-® ship Fund Ai' Somewhere My Love The Middle Island Country Club provided a picturesque setting for the Senior Ball. The new queen, Karen Nicolay, was crowned by last year's Junior Prom queen, Anita Lombardo. Candidates and their escorts were: Helen Giaquinto and Joseph Garrambone, Anna Perrotta and Pete Papas, Joanne Baio and Hector Dejesus, Carol Ann Woods and Andy Swezey, and Diana Scesny and David Nolan. A buffet was served before the crowning at midnight. Music was furnished by Eddie and the Starliners and the Gumdrop Two. Our teachers seemed to have as good a time as the students, as they whizzed along to the Beer Barrel Polka. Breakfast was prepared and served by the parents at Longwood at 3:00 AM. Graduation: and The Longvvood's fourth annual Commencement exercises were held on Sunday, June 25, at the high school. A class of 145 graduates received diplomas. At the end of the year, thoughts of proms and graduation were sobered by the loss of Mr. Elbert Smith, member of the school board, community leader, and friend of Longwood. Our debt to Mr. Smith goes far beyond the gift of land upon which the high school is built. Mis generous spirit and dynamic leadership will prevail as an integral part of the Longwood heritage.

And they did. That was the commencement of all that isn 7, all that wasn't, and all that won't be. As the skeleton rose higher, so did the vast emptiness of the roving puzzle. We wish to bury the skeleton and solve the unsolved puzzle. The meaning is not clear, yet the intention is masterful and need not be misconstruedfor the sake of all who don 7 see. The strong global front is crumbling beneath the ever onrushing gush of insanity. We wish to reverse the pattern to rebel against something whose existence is undefined. When our security is broken into a million pieces and each one is collected by the unreal corners of the universe, who is to say whether we were wrong in our feeble attempt to take one mind and trigger it against this and all skeletons to come? We wish to reveal the unrevealed, we wish to uncover the long unsung heroes, and we wish to examine the unexamined. When this vision is cast aside, as we hope all things are, in our faintest dreams we will remember the merciless destruction of the unde-finable and see that which was not before.
