We were touched in the third act when, as Beth lay on her death-bed, tears coursed down jo's face. No Broadway production could have been as heart-rending as was the M. H. S. production, Ann McGeeney handled the role of Mrs. March with her usual excellence, and jimmy Foster, Elizabeth Block, Jaroslav Drabek, and the rest of the cast also gave splendid per- formances. Behind the scenes were assistant-direc- tor Sylvia Carstens, who headed the production staff, Maryann Holmes, the stage manager, and Sandra Longyear and Dorothy Durham, the scen- ery heads. The production, as always, was the result ot long hours of practice and study, com- BIRD BANDING Rau' One-B. Hicks, H. Durham, T. Poulson. Razz' 'I'u'u-A. Mackey, M. Kodet, M. Heimerdinger, N.

S. was already discussing the possibilities for a rec- ord-breaking spring play. Manhasset High's other outstanding entertain- ment group, the Music Department, also got off to a surprisingly good start. As a matter of fact, the Swing Band, under Mr. Websters direction, amazed us all with its jet premier performance. The band as a whole sounded almost professional, and the rhythm sections were Usharp and gone. The orchestra, Linder the ambitious supervision and direction of Miss Vandenbroeck, also gave us some exciting moments, Of course there were still a few of those untimely squeaks and odd sounds, but think a minute-if there weren't, how would we have any claim on our orchestra? Well, the point is-the orchestra played diflicult, ad- vanced pieces, and although their job wasn't pro- fessional, it was very good for a high school group. In connection with the New York State An- ual Music Festival, Manhasset sent Helen Anne Fitzpatrick, Carolyn Rapp, Marian Chisholm, John Moghtader, and several others to the Port Wash- ington concert. Besides these instrumental assemblies and those presented by the choir, we enjoyed many others. Johnny johnson banged out everything from

The soccer team fared very poorly, not scoring a point in nine games, but the tennis team won over Farmingdale and Great Neck, to finish with a two-live season. The cross-country team placed second in two of its triangular meets, beating Great Neck and Garden City. The over-all sports season better than the previous year's, but it left us still win-hungry, and the lower classmen were already looking for- ward to next year. The spirit had been good. though. joanne Stein's scrappy little bunch of cheerleaders kept us on our toes, and added to the enthusiasm on our winning days. Manhasset's girls had a full season also, al- though it started with perhaps the most unde- cisive sports event in M, H. S. history. Our fresh- man and sophomore girls played the corresponding classes from Great Neck in hockey. In the middle of the game, a cloudburst sent the girls hurrying indoors, where, still full of spirit, they decided to have it out in a do-or-die game of volleyball. That game ended in a tie, and the girls went home that night not quite knowing what to think. After that, the hockey teams ended with a moderately good season, bringing home a win, a loss, and a tie from the playday at Adelphi. Before the teams were picked last fall all the girls participated in an extensive intramural program. The teams were hnally selected by Ginny Thompson, Lucia Thwaits, Betty Dewey, and joan Auch. Another popular girls' sport was tennis. Almost eighty girls participated, playing on Tuesdays and Thurs- VISUAL AIDS Rua' Om'--XV. Beard, C. ltlclings. M. Kodet, T. Beckett, D. King. Rau' Tim--D.

Also, a few golfers determinedly dubbed their way around Memorial Field during the autumn afternoons, and next year the sport may take a permanent place in Manhasset High. The Manhasset High School Dramatics Group started its official year by presenting its fall pro- duction, Little Women, on November nine- teenth and twentieth. A very hne cast made the play unforgettable for us all. Peggy Flynn as Amy, Dorothy Young as Meg, Margaret Lange as Beth, and Eleanor Gleeson as jo all turned in . 5' l SPANISH CLUB Rau' Ouev-I-.

Yes, this year. as in all others. the first term had swept by before we could even get a good hold on it. Wiimter was beginning to show signs of its long siege in Manhassefs busy halls. and on the way to school we were just noticing that the tree had lost almost all ol' its leaves. Good old winter-that's the time to improve marks and get caught up on back work. we said. and plunged eagerly into the second phase of the year.
