It commenced its work after the student body elected Bob Hanrahan, presidentg Ted Demmerle, vice president, Nancy Murphy, secretary, and Jack Randall, treasurer. The first undertak- ing was the Football Victory Dance. A special feature of this event was the signing of a Guest Book by all those who attended the Thanksgiving Day game. In order to help the Oracle editorial staff in the selection of the dedicatee of the yearbook, this year's council drew up a set of regulations, which will be used in future years. With the new semester, Bob Hanrahan and Nancy Murphy were re- elected, While jack Randall and Charles Fischer took office as vice president and treasurer, respectively. Again, the first project was a dance-the very successful Leap Year Dance, one of the most enjoyable and entertaining affairs in many years. Cooperating with the Parent-Teacher Association, the Council gave its wholehearted support to the Friday Fling, which proved to be a popular enterprise. As customary, the Student Council purchased honor society pins, honor certificates, and merit awards. It also promoted the sale of war stamps and bonds by holding various drives such as the Flying Jeep Campaign. This year the Student Council again earned its fine reputation for service to the school, not only by sponsoring many student activities but also by making new rules and initiating new ideas.

Or maybe you have a social studies project due tomorrow, and you just haven't decided what to write about. Well, your worries are over if you hunt up a member of the Library Council. Want to know what the Library Council does? This organization is a group of 52 of your friends, who, under the leadership of Miss Knipe, keep the library in running order for your convenience. Keeping the books in good condition, straightening shelves, typing pockets and catalog cards, stamp- ing books, and putting them on the shelves after they have been returned- these are only a few of the tasks which the members perform to keep your library operating smoothly. It's hardly necessary to mention how the library can be of help to the students of M. H. S. Any problem that challenges you, the Leader of To- morrow, can be solved in the library: questions requiring research, material for themes and speeches, information about the armed services, or what to read in your spare time. Under our efficient officers, Carolyn Rand, Robert Dwinell, and Marie Offenbacher, we hold a business meeting once a month. But all work and no play would make the Library Council a dull organiza- tion. When we feel the need of relaxation, we have a party. Eight of our members will be graduated in June.

Malverne rose from her gridiron doldrums of recent years and finished with a commendable rec- ord of four wins in seven starts. Dropping their first two contests, the Hghting Mules took four con- secutive games to gain a berth in the Section B play- OE, but Were defeated by Long Beach. The secret of the team's success was a Whirlwind passing attack with Bob Hanrahan throwing and Ted Demmerle, Jack Randall, and Tom Leverte catching. A stalwart line, consisting of Bob Wall, Harry Neugold, Bob Monroe, Jim Hanson, John Pearsall, George McCoy, and Dick Kuhn, also de- served laurels. Most of the running and blocking were turned in by Charlie Fischer, Lody Rissland, John Holly, and Greg Bugajski. f J f ,lf .if-T - A fu , .- ., , ..-ff 3: mf K lvl Q :i il i i I I 'fig iff .

Captain: Theodore Demmerle Sergeants: Bob Hanrahan Bill MacPherson Carolyn Rand M US BR07'Il RS Although Malverne's Student Police do not carry clubs or blow whistles, they do enforce our traffic laws, and we obey them. They curb overambitious, riotous seventh graders and prevent indolent seniors from breaking the rules. Cf course, the middleclassmen come in for their share of punishment, sarcastic re- marks, and dirty looks, too, and many a lawbreaker has been seen being dragged down the hall by a triumphant hall cop. However, there is usually order and quiet in the halls of Malverne High, and un- der the able leadership of Mr. Mills our Student Police force has done an excel- lent job. They deserve much credit.

And where would the band be without Roy Breitz, Bob Bradfish, Robert Burke, Charles Martinek, Bob Nafis, Sidney Snyder, and Betty Peters? 0 This year the class added a new fea- ture to its activities. It inaugurated the idea of presenting a play in return for the one which Central High School gave at our assembly.

Another precedent was broken when the juniors accepted Mr. Winks' invitation to sponsor the Radio Revue, sharing the profits with the band 0 The sportsminded girls, as well as the boys, have had many oppor- tunities to display their skills. Gloria Bizzoso, Doris Jones, Mar- garet Lorenzo, and joan Mauer rank high in the competition for points 0 Under the direction of Miss Majewski, the girls real- ized that gym means more than volleyball, basketball, ping-pong, or badminton and that dancing, from tap to Russian ballet may also furnish pleasant entertainment. Their specialty, however, is square dancing. And don't think that this interest is confined to the girls alone. Many a boy has been seen tapping his rendition of Three Blind Micen 0 A number of our boys have distin- guished themselves in football, basketball, wrestling, cross-coun- try, baseball, and track. Look at Tom Leverte's record! Varsity football player, one of the highest scoring basketball players in the county, and a varsity baseball man.

Twenty-one others tagged just slightly behind them, re- ceiving certificates of distinction I When a fresh northeasterly Wind blew Mr. DeGraff in straight from the South Pacific to our faculty, the pupils welcomed him with open arms and fear-laden hearts. His musical talent soon became recognized, and we are waiting for a session of Boogie-Woogie as good as his classical renditions 0 Mrs. Garwick, along with her bugs, turtles, frogs, and dissecting equipment, has become an everlasting friend to all of us 0 That busy young mademoiselle whom you see scurrying back and forth between the business rooms is none other than our own Miss Roth. Although she keeps us up nights doing shorthand, We don't mind, as long as it's for her. We shall always wonder how she and Miss Janda, co-sponsors of Sport Night, who live together, could possibly have kept their teams' secrets from each other O We wish to thank Miss Janda, Miss Roth, Mr. Randall, and especially Miss Lyster, our class adviser, for their helpful supervision and cooperation in making our sophomore year so enjoyable. We hope to see them again next term-as juniors! '46 War Bonds for Sale! We're the ones who buy them! OFFICERS President .... ,,...... . ,, ..,., ..... . . .. ....., .

Roenbeck, Cornell, Gibson, and Murgolo. L. Roenbeck, Naiis, and Bolch also qualined for the championship run. RIDING O Boys and girls alike enjoyed riding through Hempstead Park in the crisp, cool autumn air. ARCHERY 0 I shot an arrow in the air: it fell to earth I know not where, does not apply to Malverne's Robin Hoods. We are noted for our excellent sharpshooters. HOCKEY 0 Fall blasts whipped the bare legs of our hockey players as they flicked, scooped, and drove long passes down the field.

Wcmrking hard for more than a month, the Blue team gave an excellent imitation of a hillbilly Wedding scene. A group of girls demonstrated one of the mountaineers' favorite diversions, a square dance. Other acts such as Pass the Biscuits, Mirandyn and The Old Apple Tree in the Orchard drew a lot of laughs from the audience. Imitation cork buckets with handles of blue ribbon decorated the sweaters and blouses of the Blue team girls as symbols of our theme. Captained by Elfreide Moeckel, the girls fought until victory was theirs. Q li ' f ! ix ix Xlqlgli A My 'I ' l' X? fm Q T ' ffl' Mfi - X X 'Q i X X ohio S!

Military Drill- 1-2-3-4! Halt 1-2! What's this we see? Troops quartered at Malverne High School? No, indeed! That beautiful drill just executed was done by our boys nearing the age of 18 -in order to give old Sarge a happy moment when he discovers them lined up among his rookies. Forward march! .... If it werenit for the Column Club, there would be no press releases in your local papers each Week. This club also edits AT YOUR SERVICE, which is sent with the Mule to the boys in service .... Who keeps in touch With the boys in service? Who types all the envelopes meant for them? Who mails them the Mule? That's right- the Staff Assistants Corps. In charge of all incoming and out-going service mail, the corps also keeps the addresses accurate. The Mule, Malverne's favorite read- ing matter, is a well organized, capably edited newspaper, recounting all the more important incidents which occur from week to week. Appearing six times in the past year, the arrival of the Mule Was eagerly anticipated by everyone- everyone except the faculty, who often collected a dozen or more during a class period .... Three cheers for the Red Cross Council. One of the best organized War units, the council has worked on several projects. Under its supervision Christmas cards were prepared for the boys in service, and many Christmas stock- ings found their Way to needy children .... Ye gods, Jackson, get the paint off your nose! Our illustrious Art Council is not playing Indians, it's merely in conference. The school is kept furnished With their appropriate displays. At Christmas and Easter the council makes holiday decorations .... Without excep- tion these organizations earnestly strove to make home seem a bit closer to our men serving in the armed forces. The class of 1944 is proud of its own list of boys in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Maritime Service: Robert Bell, Frank D'Antonio, Tom Darcy, Chris Gherity, Bill Keahon, Jack Leggett, Bill Mac- Pherson, Ed Moore, and Joe Tiedemann.

When the bell rings at 3:14, our daily work is completed but not theirs, for the building must be made spic and span again. Our custodians are true pals and school would be strange Without them.

As a hint of what to expect during the rest of the season, the Mules put in 73 points in their first game. Nor did they stop there. The Orange and Blue juggernaut Won a berth in the South Shore play-offs by taking eleven of their first thirteen contests. Malverne ran into a jinx in the form of Woodmere. In two hotly-contested games with Woodmere, the Mules Went down to defeat. How- ever, these defeats were offset by the unprecedented scores run up against other opponents. Malverne was the only Section B member to beat Oceanside. Tom Leverte was one of the two top scorers of the county. Also high in the scoring lists was Ted Demmerle. Bob Hanra- han, Donn Pearson, and Bill Knipfing filled out the first five. Reserves were John Holly, Jack Randall, and Bill Keeler. The junior varsity squad had a season marked with success. The Jayvees captured 11 games in 14 starts. The leading scorer was Charles Fischer. Other regulars were Anderson, Rissland, Snyder, McCoy, and Quigley. TWU fglat and figbf and win cfafb nigbf.

Malverne girls are fast becoming a super race! With a wide variety of sports open to them, the girls make the most of their opportunities to earn credit and awards. Ping-pong, vol- leyball, basketball, badminton, softball, archery, and tennis are available from season to season to those who possess the athletic urge. While the able and awe in- spiring gym assistants vie with one an- other in the I-Ierculean task of drilling the gym classes, Miss Majewski tries to instill some knowledge of rules, fouls, reelmicaliries, and violations into our heads. Seriously though, Malverne offers an ideal sports program for girls, and even more girls in grades nine through twelve should take advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible. Lack of experience spelled a trying wrestling season. The grapplers dropped every encounter in their first match. But by the season's end, Coach Hanson boasted a strong squad. Season's record: two wins and four losses. Cappellini, Vollmer, Morris, Vuolo, Collins, and OlChester, entered the South Shore Championship match. The Bowling Club had no matches with other schools but every one of its 24 enthusiasts agreed it was one of the year's high spots. Both track and baseball squads are certain they will have successful seasons this spring. lfach one has many veterans from last year's teams. The track squad promises to be outstanding in the field events and will have ample opportunity to prove itself. The baseball team has a good chance of capturing the South Shore crown.

The Class of '44 hitched its Wagon to a star this year and presented an ambitious Broadway drama - Double Door -instead of the traditional comedy. The conflict between the domineering Victoria and her weaker brother and sister kept the audience breath throughout the evening. Mrs. Ackerman was the able director. less Pug: 65010 REWARDED Induction of new members into the National Honor Society is always a highly impressive ceremony. This year was no exception. The thirteenth induction to take place in Malverne High School, it was no less awe-inspir- ing than in former years. Carolyn Rand gave an introduction explaining the meaning of the em- blem. The four cardinal principles of the Honor Society-scholarship, lead- ership, character, and service-were discussed by Carol Magnusson, lllfriede Mocckel, Sidney Weinberger, and Mary Lou Allin, who used as examples of these qualities the life of Americais wartime heroes, Admiral Nimitz, General Doolittle, General Eisenhower, and Lieutenant General Vandergrift. As a climax to the solemn ceremony, the new members were tapped and given unlighted torches. When they were all on the stage, the inductees, Jane Campbell, Nona Flatley, Robert Wzill, Philip Bahn, Donald Brandis, Charles Fischer, Eva Houtman, Robert Nafis, Marie Uffenbacher, Bernice Parman, Ruth Price, Adelaide Smolen, Sidney Snyder, Marie Traficante, and Katherine Weriier, lighted their torches from the flames of the senior members. The ofhcers for this term were Carolyn Rand, presidentg Carol Magnusson, vice president: and Elfriede Moeckel, secretary. Ten percent of the junior class and fifteen percent ofthe seniors are eligible for election to this organi- zation, which is one of the highest honors bestowed upon a student in high school. Page forfy-eigllf '2S'0II6 0F RUSSIA This year's spring music festival, to which all the mem- bers of the junior and senior high school choruses contrib- uted, was designed to give a panoramic view of the music, past and present, of our gallant ally, Russia. The first scene depicted the haunting folk melodies which have been handed down from generation to generation, songs composed at the family fireside. It was the first day of spring in the eighteenth century, and the peasants of the village, the seventh and eighth grade Singing Club, were having a holiday. With - ' I, their deep love for music, the Russians have developed some S I 'V of the finest choruses the world has ever known.

Now don't get excited, that's just the eighth graders participating in their activities. There are sev- eral activities in which they take part: Junior Dramatic Club, Junior Graele, Junior Press, boys' basketball, Junior Riding Club, and the Junior Ping-Pong Club 0 At the annual Junior High Hallowe'en party we came in on top in the sale of stamps.

Let's all keep up the good work and make a better ninth grade group. AMA TEIIR 4 . 2' fi ll0WCE I This year, as in other years, the halls of Malverne High 4 9 were invaded by a mass of new students, and, as in other years, we had trouble. It began when we tried to find our home rooms. After finding them, we really had trouble, for we were assigned our lockers. To find them was one job, to open them another. Thursday started our first day of classes. We never would have found those class rooms alone! We shall always be grateful to the Student Police, who were so kind in helping us find them that first day. It was even more bewildering after we found the room. We would just begin to work, it seemed, when the bell would ring, and we would have to leave for another unknown destination! O At last the hrst big event of the year came, the masquerade party. Most of us went to great lengths to get new and novel costumes. It was hard to find unusual costumes though, for this affair has been going on for so many years. We must have succeeded, however, for we won first prize 0 Class elections were another event. Our sev- enth grade president was Fred Lando: vice president, Harold Mess- ler, secretary, Barty Cappellini, and treasurer, Theodora Smith 0 Most seventh graders belong to some club. Among our favorites were the Stamp Club, under Miss Dorothy Platfs direction, and the Ping-Pong Club, under Miss Grace Tietz. There were many others the seventh and eighth grades attended 0 We have found our first year at Malverne very interesting. We are sure the next Eve years will increase in interest. Page fiffy-srl 4 H Page fifty-r'igl1f THE LOWER HOUSE CONVENES 0R.V B0 RD The Hallowe'en party is an event that the junior high school looks forward to in the beginning ofthe year. The awarding of prizes is the highlight of the party. It is amusing to watch a gas tank walk up to the judges to receive its prize, while behind it walks the scason's most beautiful glamor girl with a boy's name! The awarding of prizes is made possible by the Student Council. Shortly after this happy event, the Student Council started its Campaign to buy more war stamps and bonds. Our Council, then, is interested in helping not only our school but also the whole country. Those lucky ones who are elected to the Junior Honor Society wear beautiful pins that are the envy of the whole school. The Student Council buys those pins with the money you paid to join the organization. The biggest event for the junior high school is the junior high pageant. Preparations for this pageant are started almost directly after the beginning of the second Selncstcr. Everyone in the junior high school has a chance to take part in this performance, The theme of the pageant this year is Long Island on Parade . This year the Student Council bought five hundred copies of the Mule to send to our boys and girls in the armed forces of our country. It also paid for the postage to mail these papers. We think this will show how much the Junior High Student Council means to the junior high school. JlIIll0R 6l EAIIERS Over the loud speaker came a call for workers for the Junior Oracle Staff. Meetings were held! Some of the members joined the editorial staff, others joined the business staff, while a few chose to be artistic. Assignments were handed out, write-ups were read, checked, and rechecked. You now have the results. We hope you enjoy our efforts.
