Mattituck High School - Reflector Yearbook (Mattituck, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1956 volume:

BRIDGES There ere bridges over water, Joining land to land There are bridges over indifference That help folks understand. Some cross those that link places; Some cross those that link cults: A third bridge that all people cross Leads from children to adults. WE DEDICATE THIS DOOK We, the class of 1956, do dedicate this our yearbook, to Mr. Roland Sherwood, who has faithfully seen us through our Senior year. He has quided us not only in our school difficul- ties but in our private affairs os well- A cheerful and friendly smile he has had for each and every one. Always he has praised and congratulated us on our achievements. We want him to know that it has been a pleasure, indeed, to have been with him during '55 and '56. It is our heartfelt desire that Mr. Sherwood will have every success and happiness in the future and will remember the class of 1956. Reflector 1956 l riutifcaC The high standing of Mattituck High School is due in no small measure to the wise guidance of Supervising Principal Mr. A. C. Garelle. As an administrator Mr. Garelle has preserved the fundamental principles of a democratic education in the school curriculum so that each child has had the opportunity of developing to his fullest ability. The members of the class of '56 pay tribute to the man who not only as an able administrator but as a friend has set for them the ideals of Christian living, of loyal citizenship, creditable leadership. Administration Student (facuciC The Student Council is one of Mattituck's most important service organizations. It has fifteen members, elected from the school, who choose their own officials; this year Valerie Decker was elected president of the Council. Besides participating in the Halloween progrom and other school fetes, the Council ran a clothing drive for underprivileged children, supervised hall dis- cipline, and entertained the members of the Eastern Suffolk Association of Student Councils at faculty FIRST ROW (Seated) (L to R) Elizabeth C.

As usual, the staff was divided into various groups. Our creative writers, potential rivals of Ernest Hemingway, burned the candle at both ends in trying to originate ideas that might do away with the old cliches. The collecting of statistics and the devising of Senior guestionnaires were duties of the mathematical minded. Look will more than likely be anxious to hire our candid camera fiends after they see some of the book s informal snaps, while Walt Disney will feel almost Mickey Mousey after casting a glance at the illustrations done by our Stacia Zimnoski. Everyone feels that a great deal of our financial success was due to the business staff who so successfully visited our local merchants and obtained their ads. Although we reluctantly returned to school after the Christmas holidays, being on the staff jolted us into action. Con- ferences were held at which assignments were made, and we really began work in earnest . At this time our finished product seemed almost to be made of dream dust. However, after discussions with Mr Clingen, our sponsor, we had a clearer picture of what the final result would be. Soon, the horror of meeting a deadline cost its ugly shadow over our peace of mind, but at last each line was written, each picture taken, and the book was off to the printers.

The great room called the study hall was to be our stomping grounds for the first year. Here we began our glorious trip through the adventureland that they call the best years of our lives . On the shoulders of Mr. Wishnowski was placed the task of steering our first course toward operation graduation . That exciting first year was one that we shall always remember. It is true that the laws of MHS said that we could talk to Seniors, enter in all high school activities, read in the HS library and enjoy ourselves when we found the time. Actually, there were a few things we did that we were not supposed to do such as running in the halls, going to our lockers, eating potato chips in Math class, and throwing books in study hall. We learned not to do this after a few sessions in Mr. McCaw’s 3-4 Club . We got down to business after a few weeks and elected our class officers: Ralph Armbrust. Presi- dent, Ed Schiller. VP, Mickey Terpening. Secretary, and Sheila Doyle, Treasurer. These officers led us up to the front of the fray toward operation graduation . One of our outstanding activities for the year was our assembly program Mr. District Attorney — plotwork by Stacia Zimnoski with literary contributions made by most everyone in the class. Our per- formance at the Halloween party fell flat for here our skit chickened out . . . and Valerie Decker. Amy Penny, Mary Ann Berdinka and Betty Kouros killed the performance by singing My Old Kentucky Home . Coach Muir commanded our Sophomore year with a great vision of things to come. In addition to our studies we found time to take a trip to the Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium in NYC. Here Betty Kouros. Sheila Doyle, and some upper classmen went through the wrong door and wound up in the fossil exhibit . . . where they were found petrified by Miss Scheff and Mr. Wishnowski. Officers who led our Battalion through the Sophomore year were Fred Machinchick, President. Ed Schiller, Secretary, Susan Young. Treasurer and Mary Ann Berdinka, VP. Now we looked ahead to the next year which in every student's life is the first year of living. Yes we were JUNIORS. We had survived last year's grueling struggles and were now ready for the glory road . We immediately elected officers for the journey. They were: Donald Sherwood, President. Stacia Zimnoski, VP. Fred Machinchick. Secretary-Treasurer. We had the best Junior Prom yet. The class worked hard to decorate the gym for the big occas- sion. The center of attraction was a spinning glass sphere which emitted colorful rays of shimmering light . . . and much to our amazement did not fall and shatter into splinters as it had done the morning of the Prom. The theme of the event was to be Blue Mirage but since we could not come to an agreement on how to show a Blue Mirage we wound up showing a Manhattan skyline. We were the first class to make money on +he Junior Prom. In the Spring we also entertained the Mepham Choir and netted $100.00. By the grace of God and the kindness of our teachers we finally reached the big year. Leading us in our final year in MHS were Don Sherwood. President, Ed Schiller, VP, and Mary Ann Berdinka, Secretary- Treasurer. Showing an unusual spurt of energy we got out and our money mad class sold more magazines than any other .... we then rested for the remainder of the year. The 1955 Soccer team, led by 6 Sen- iors, won the County Championship . . . then 4 Seniors carried the same spurt into basketball and came out Champions of B-l and B-2 . . . we won’t mention the game with B-3 Bridgehamp+on. The Senior Class repeated its dramatic performance of the Freshman year by putting on its annual play The Scarlet Hat . Much to the amazement of our class ... it made money. The final event of the year was our trip to Washington. A few of us having plans to elope tried to get the conductor to stop the train at Elkton. Md. — but. as we were apprehended by our chaperones, the plan goofed . . . and we went on to Washington to have a good time. We are hoping and praying that the whole class will graduate together. We are looking forward to the day when we can walk across the sacred green of the front lawn with Mr. Garelle's permission. Whose Zoo Parade (Identifications on last page} The flccviici (?CcU4, In the hands of the Class of 1957 lies the responsibility of taking over the position of the Senior class. The officers, who were elected and have made this class of 57 a class of distinction were Presidents Barbara Florence and Rosemary Klumbak, Vice Presidents Ed Parrish and Fred Stelzer. Secretaries Genevieve Jazombek and Mamie Funn, Treasurers Bruce Carruthers and Diane Marcus. W© are Proud of the Junior members who sat on the Student Council this year. Pauline Wick. Dorothy Zaweski and Pat Simchick, dio much to make our Council one of the most active in this area. Pat served as Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Council and as Secretary of the Student Court. In the sport column the Junior class was noteworthy. Soccer boasted Ed Parrish who was chosen for the All Scholastic Soccer Team, Ed Proved his metal in basketball and baseball, as well. Big John Frazee and Smiling Ed Sidor lent their rare talents to basketball, soccer and baseball . . . and Laurel s own Fred Stelzer did MHS justice on the basketball court. Harry Pumilio and Richard Florence tumbled their way into Open House' and were the hit of the show. Junior class meetings were very active. Committees appointed did their work well at the Xmas Party . . . and by their hard work trie Junior Prom was one of the best. We discussed changes in next year's magazine campaign and the suggestion that class members be assigned routes to cover in their sales met with approval. The idea of a Senior Ball was brought up and will be discussed more next year. « c advice cafn we ° er to n®xf years J.un'ors? Well. f rsf all study . . . this may sound silly ... but it really pays ott. Start thinking of the future ... the time for drifting is about over, soon you must make your own way in the wide, wide world. Truly a class of exceptional quality .... The Sophomores look forward to their Junior year with much zeal and gusto. This session was marked by class meetings filled with drama and dreams. Proposals for a spectator bus for sporting events, o class sponsored dance, class dues to pay for Senior rings, a spring picnic, etc., etc., were argued over in knock-down draq- out fashion. Our class owes much of its inspiration to its officers. Presidents were Edward Taylor and James Reeve. Vice Presidents, Peter Carruthers and Jeanette Verity, Secretary-Treasurers Madeline Ruland, Laddie Decker and Emily Grathwohl. i Ca yin 3 our 9°° name to the Student Council were William Sledjeski and Paul Pendzick. Paul also served as clerk on the Student Court. We were no slackers in the sport field, either- Bob Templeton and Edgar Langer made the all star County Soccer Team and Temp was one of the leading scorers in basketball. Laddie Decker, one of MHS’s outstanding players and ace goalie, sparked 6 shut-outs and had only four goals scored against him for the season. Paul Pendzick, Ed Taylor and David Tuthill did their share to uphold the honor of MHS. To the Sophomores who follow us may we say that this has been an enjoyable year. They say it is the most difficult of our HS career ... we found this to be true. But for all its mental tribulations it has been a most rewarding experience. 'pred ttea The doss of 1959, the Sophomores of next year, have established themselves firmly in Mattituck High School activities. I he names ot many Freshmen ranked high in sports, clubs and school affairs. n- L r- °ySLia,M provi 9 fhf|r ability in sports. Butch Lynch and Floyd Harris showed skill in both soccer and JV Basketball. Dick Grathwohl, like Lynch and Harris, was a member of the MHS County Soccer Championship Team this year. John Kuiawski was another Frosh who saw action in JV basketball. tl The freshmen demonstrated good sense in choosing the officers who governed them from 1955 to 1956. President Ihomas Matrick, Vice President Sally Fleet, and Class Secretary-Treasurer Richard Grathwohl, formed an able administration. The Student Council was made more effective this year by the contributions of Linda Reeve and John Kuiawski, repre- sentatives from the Class of 1959. y ... Several Committees made the school year a pleasant one; David Weggeland and Connie Jazombek served as Record Committee ... Maureen Doyle, Linda Reeve, Pat Hannabury, Dot Truskaloski, Betty Ann Wolbert, Marilyn Abitz and Barbara Muir sparked the Classroom Activities Committee and Tommy Matrick won a scroll for first prize at the Halloween Dance. fytacle MR. BENNETT This yeor we have been studying United States history in a new and interesting way- Each student was assigned a state, and wrote to the capital of the state to find out facts about its commerce, industry, etc. In Math, English, and our other sub- jects we worked under the stress of our June Regents. We enjoyed very much the preliminary study of Algebra and Geometry that we did in our grade in the Spring term. Seventh tyracte MR. BECKEL Much of our time was spent studying the history of New York State. In Arithmetic we became acquainted with Geometry and percentage. Safety patrol duty earned us a won- derful trip to Yankee Stadium. Our stage play, given on May 29th, was fun to produce and seemed to be en- joyed by our audience. Sixt tyiade MRS. JOHNSON This year we have made exhibits of manufactured goods from our text- book Industrial Western Europe . As a project in Geography and Soc- ial Studies we made diaramos com- paring the desert and jungle vegeta- tion in Africa. With the aid of Mr. Seavers, our Art teacher, the class painted a mural showing amusing scenes from Robin Hood. If you hap- pen to stop by our room you will en- joy seeing our Science corner which contains many interesting and live objects. ' f! A A J (faide MRS. REEVE The members of this class agree that we had an enjoyable year. Besides mastering the Three R's we have done many interesting as well as in- structive projects. Our favorite ones were: how to carry on a business meeting, writing our play for As- sembly, and the reproduction of Disney's Living Desert in a color- ful mural. (fade MRS. LINDSAY The opening of school found us in a new room and with some new class- mates. After getting acquainted we settled down to work. In Social Stud- ies we learned many important things about the countries of North and South America. Fractions, measur- ing and some decimals were new facts learned in Arithmetic. Read- ing, Spelling, Health, Science and English supplied us with lots of in- teresting material for study. SMRS. HASBROUCK In the fall, we made Health booklets entitled How do I Really Work? Most of us put our snapshots on the cover. We made cones, icicles for Christmas tree decorations. In Feb- ruary we wrote stories, riddles and articles about Abe Lincoln for our English booklet. What fun we had using the ditto machine and put- ting our booklets together! xcc%t ty% zde MISS WARNER One of our art projects this year was the making of illustrated drawings. The themes carried out were based on American holidays. We depicted Thanksgiving. Christmas. Lincoln's Birthday, and Easter. On February 29th we presented our class play in the assembly. It told the story of Clever Peter . 7 Oid tirade MRS. SHERWOOD This year we learned how to do cur- sive writing, borrowing in subtrac- tion, carrying in addition, multiplica- tion and short division. Experiments with magnets, electricity, seeds, rust and evaporation made our science lessons very interesting. Our stories helped us learn about our own coun- try as well as other lands. tyxade MRS. BERMINGHAM We came. saw. and tried to conquer the subtraction bugaboo” which always haunts Grade 3. This was our first year to don gowns and be on the stage for Christmas carols and we were really thrilled. Our play. Help Wanted for Easter was given on March 14th before an appreciative audience of parents and Grade chil- dren. Many of us joined the Cub Scouts and the Brownies — in fact, almost half of the class are members, now. Second tyiade MRS. KRAMER Our class made an Indian tepee out of burlap bags and each of us paint- ed an Indian sign on it. We made Indian headdresses and drums and rain rattles. We learned about Indian customs, poems, songs and stories. We all want to learn to read better everyday so that we may enjoy good books and appreciate our good country, America. Second tyiade MISS BUCK We have been building a town out of boxes in learning all about our coummunity helpers. We are looking forward to our Assembly program on April 25th. We are going to make puppets and put on a puppet show from one of our stories that we have read together in class. 'JinAt (fc de MISS PAUL Along with our numerous academic activities, we have made a poem notebook, and a folder for art work. We painted a crib for our doll corner, and will add a chair to it soon. We made calendars for Christmas gifts, and individual Valentine boxes. We talked and read about famous Amer- icans, holidays, and other important happenings. ?0i4t tyuzde MRS. SCHILLER These twenty-six eager little faces came to me in September. First we tried to make the quiet ones talk and the noisy ones quiet. Learning to read, write, spell and add numbers has kept us busy. We have many good laughs together and we are happy. uteCesify i%teK MRS. BENNETT A. M. September to December is work and play, Making interesting things most every day. January starts a new year, Our names and numbers we learn here. Workbooks and trips are lots of fun, How to use thermometers, calen- dars, and clocks, some. We close our year with a play on the stage, Kindergarten is now all the rage. P.

Both of these losses being by 2 points or less. Loddie Decker and Floyd Harris led the attack for the Tuckers chalking up 222 and 141 points respectively while Dave Tut- hill came up third with 109. Coach Muir began the year with a group of mostly inexperienced players and he did a remarkable job with them. Pendzick, Zaleski, Sidor and Haupt held the center slot. Tuthill and Decker held down forward positions a good part of the time. TRACK An active track team is comparative- ly new at MHS. Although inexper- ienced the boys made a fair showing last year and prospects are for a better season in 1956. Don Sher- wood. Suffolk County Shot Put Champ last year, placed 3rd in the Long Island meet and went to the State finals. This yeor we ore hoping that he will end the season right up on top. PING PONG This year Mr. McCaw had an excel- lent turnout for ping-pong. As most of the team were repeaters from last year, Mattituck was sure to come out on top. Due to the bad weather, playday was called off, and Mr McCaw and his team will have to wait another year before they brinq home the championship. BOWLING This year was the first year for MHS to be represented by a bowling team- The team because of its inexperience came through with a 2-2 record in competition with nearby schools. The team finished 17th in the Long Island Bowling Tournament held in Hunting- ton. BASEBALL As in previous years, a small but de- termined group of boys interested in baseball reported to Coach Muir., The team, including several under- classmen, looked impressive in its workouts on the diamond. The Re- flector goes to press before the base- ball season opens but from the calibre and spirit of the players it looks as if it will be a most successful one. CHESS CLUB This brand new organization was formed in the early part of the year by students who enjoyed intellectual competition. Members took part in intermural jousts and a few part- icipated in postal chess matches. John Niven was President of this group and James McNeil served as Vice President and Treasurer. BASKETBALL Intramurals in baseball this year consisted of five teams made up of the many girls who signed up for it. From among these girls. Miss Kira chose eight to attend playday at Center Moriches on March 10. Ably coached by Miss King, the girls came in second place losing to Southold in the playoffs. VOLLEYBALL From among the many girls who signed up for volleyball intramurals. Miss King chose a team, to attend Playday at Riverhead on December 10. The team came in second place, losing a thrilling game to Riverhead 14 to 13 but rallying to beat Pear- son and East Hampton. The team also attended another playday at Westhampton on January 10. SPRING PLAYDAY From among the many girls who went out for spring sports, Miss King chose teams in baseboll, orchery and tennis to attend Spring playday at South- ampton. The girls did well in all sports at the meet. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS The Varsity Cheerleaders are chosen from the Junior and Senior classes' This squad leads the cheers during the Varsity Basketball games. They sport one piece royal blue corduroy uniforms trimmed with gold. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS The Junior Varsity cheerleaders are chosen from the Freshmen and Soph- omore classes. Their job is to cheer the JV teams on to victory. This year the squad sported one-piece navy blue corduroy uniforms. ROCKETTES The Rockettes are a yearly favorite in the Minstrel Show. Tweive girls were chosen by Mr. Muir and Miss King, who ingeniously originated the modern jazz dance which the girls performed to Dance With Me Henry , and the intricate precision dance, which the girls did to Syn- copated Clock for their encore.

PRESS CLUB The Mattitalk staff has the duty of maintaining the School paper which will record scholastic, athletic and social events throughout the year. At the same time it presents the students of MHS with the opportunity of de- veloping talent along the lines of Journalism. Under the supervision of Mr. Wakem the Mattitalk Staff works hard each month to provide out- standing and entertaining issues. Carol Block was editor of the 1955- 56 publications. HONOR SOCIETY Have you ever experienced the thrill of being officially honored before a large group of students? It is something worth striving for don't you agree? That is exactly what happens toward the close of the school year to a selected few from the Junior and Senior classes who are outstanding in Character, Schol- arship, Leadership, and Service. Yes, anyone who possesses these qualifica- tions are certainly deserving of re- cognition. JUNIOR BAND: The hard working Junior Band has completed its second year at MHS. With Mr. Topping as its director the Jun- ior Band participated at the annual Open-House and in parades. The early training acquired by this group, which draws many of its members from the lower grades has done much to improve the quality of the Senior Band. SENIOR BAND: No organization in Mattituck High School has such popular appeal as our band. One of the best in this area, this band performes in such a manner as to make every MHS pupil proud of it. Always colorful, in this natty blue and gold uniforms, the players catch everyones fancy when they do their bit to make Mattituck’s basketball games and other events a success. GLEE CLUB: Our school Glee Club is a source of pride to us. Its members practice long hours to give us enjoyment. This year th y presented a Thanksgiving program, worked with the lower grades in the presentation of our Christmas program, and in the Spring performed at our yearly Open House much to the delight of those present. We know that the MHS Glee Club will continue to bring prestige to our school. TWIRLERS: The Twirlers have assisted the MHS Bond at the Mattituck-Southold basketball game and at all parades. The Senior Group consisted of Betty Kouros, Sue Young, Jane Kochendorfer, Jeanette Verity, Valerie Decker, Madeline Ruland and Pauline Wick. The Junior Twirlers consisted of Dorothy Truskolaski, Dorothy Hudson, Pat Hannabury and Barbara Chudiak. The latter group marched with the Junior Band.

About this time Clarissa Marlowe, a glamor girl from Hollywood, comes to Lakewood, and Johnnie becomes so infatuated with her, that he takes the part away from Sally and gives it to Clarissa. In the Second and Third Acts, however, Johnnie is shown Clarissa's real nature, and asks Sally on very short notice to take back the part. Sally rises to the occasion, takes the part and all comes out happily. The show came off without a hitch and because of superb acting, was an immediate success TltU fael Sfocv With the cry.
