Mattituck High School - Reflector Yearbook (Mattituck, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1957 volume:

• • • MATTI TUCK HIGH SCHOOL The Ciass of 1957 dedicates this book to the maintenance crew of Mattituck High School. Since our present building was completed 21 long years ago, the appearance and cleanliness of the edifice has been the responsibility of Gordon Cox, Herbert Young, John Haas, and Harry Charkow, our custodians. They are on call thoughout the day and on nights when the school is open to public use. When they report for work early each morning they have no idea what they may face as the clock ticks around measuring off their scheduled day. Mrs. Campbell may be cold, the plumbing in the girls' room may suddenly have jammed, or Mr. Garelle's pencil sharpener may need fixing. In any of these and various other complications a call will be out for a janitor. No matter what the task they may be assigned whether rigorous or dull, these select men are always quick with a joke or laugh and help to make our school life lighter by their presence in the halls. In appreciation for their many tasks above and beyond the call of Janitor to keep our school the best appearing in the vicinity, do we the Class of 57’ dedicate our yearbook. ‘Reftecbn IReflecttvi Sta Standing L. to R: Don Milowski (Art), Dick Florence (Business), Fred Kraus (Photography), George Swahn (Business), Donald Hildesheim (Photo- graphy), Bruce Carruthers (Literary), Henry Lutz (Business). Seated L to R: Ann Penny (Art). Marte Siemerling (Layout), Jim Reeve (Literary). Pat Simchick Business) John Frazee (Editor). Dome Swahn (Literary), John Niven (Literary), Joan Sledjeski (Layout) The 1957 Reflector Staff was blessed with many varied and assorted talents. Through their combined efforts they have tried to give you the best Reflector yet published. With Gen Jazombek and John Frazee leading the safari,[the staff took off through the jungle of inexperience to discover new and better ideas for the yearbook. Members of the safari included Ann Penny and Don Milowski as artists: with Bruce Carruthers, Jim Reeve, and Dorrie Swahn as official historians. The photographic detail was made up of Fred Kraus and Don Hildesheim in cooperation with the National School Photography Studios. Business administration and leg-work were handled by Patricia Simchick Dick Florence. George Swahn and Henry Lutz. The plan of attack was routed by Marie Siemerling and Joan Sledjeski with the help of the guide for the expedition, the ferocious headhunter, Ed Clingen. The first hedge-row that snagged the convoy was the task of assemb- ling photographic likenesses of the subjects under observation in this book. With a sudden spurt of genius the literary staff launched a counter- attack against our bitter enemy time and the Art Committee paced them steadily. Acting as reconnaissance to solicit funds from the local natives the Business Staff showed their talent for salesmanship. However, the greatest fete of all was to come, that was to find our contact behind enemy lines Good Ole Wes , foreman at the Print Shop, so that he could print our Reflector. We sincerely hope that the ardent work of our staff has not been in vain and that you will enjoy our 1957 Reflector. A D M I N I S T R A T I O N MR GARELLE The Class of 1957 extends its deepest appreciation to Mr. A. C. Garelle. Supervising Principal of Mattituclc High. He has set us on the path to future success. No matter what our troubles were, large or small, he gave us confidence and guidance. If we did something wrong, the disciplinary action he gave us was to better us. and if we did well there was always a friendly pat on the shoulder and a well done . To you. Mr. Garelle. the Class of 57 expresses rtsN utmost gratitude and wishes you well in the years to come. SECRETARIES As one enters the office of MHS, he is greeted by our secretaries. Miss Burns and Mrs. Steadman. They are conscientious, ambitious and efficient. The Senior class wishes to thank them for their many services and for the encouragement that they have given to us. What is that particular, intangible something that makes one person special ' in the eyes of the students? To us. it is most obvious in the dose understanding that marks our feeiing for Mrs. Tyrrell. She is always willing to help us in her kind way. The Class of 57 wishes to express their deep appreciation for her outstanding ser vice as our school nurse. cTr k C% MM p ilk g =rtiA. t%t£uiL VW tnct D C,X I Pu. ftAnatft it StUJLAms pacuify .

Pauline Wick emerged victor- ious by a substantial margin. On the preceding Tuesday registra- tion had taken place and out of a possible two hundred and forty five, two hundred and eight students registered. On the day before the election a mass rally was held and from the number of banners and the volume of the cheers for her. Wick seemed to be carrying the school by storm. Thursday morning and noon hour were devoted to exercising the voting privilege. By Thursday afternoon an unofficial count was taken which gave Wick a sweeping margin of 145 votes to Luti' 29 and Sim- chicKs 22. The campaigns were hard fought and taken quite seriously. An aura of good sportsmanship prevailed throughout. Every candidate and every participant can be proud of his or her job in keeping the campaigns on a high level. Student dminiotnution STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has had a busy schedule this past year. After the fall school-wide elections were held for President and Vice President, the other officers for Council and Court were chosen. Sally Fleet was elected Secretary and the Student Court members were Dorothy Zaweski, Pat Simchick, Mery Bates, Barbara Tuthill and Audray Weese. The Council's first project was to plan the Halloween Dance. The Council set cp a schedule of activities in the gym during noon hcurs which enabled everyone to use it. Monitors were stationed in the halls at noon to keep students in line. The Council also collected money to buy a gift for Mr. July for his wonderful service to the school. Mattituck's Council has been active in the ESASC an organization of Student Councils from Eastern Long Island. Pat Simchick was elected Treasurer of this organ- ization. The ESASC plans to sponsor an interschool dance in the future to improve inter-school relations. Future activities of the MHS Council are to have a dance after one of the basketball games and to charter a bus for students to attend the Center Moriches game.

SENIOR CLASS Under the faculty guidance of Mr. Hilliker and veteran homeroom teacher. Coach Muir, we started our tour of duty through the upper classes at MHS. For student leadership tne united class elected Marilyn Loper. President: Ladaie Decker. Vice President, and Madeline Ruland. Secretary-Treasurer. As representative to the Student Council, we chose Paul Pendzick. he iater became Vice President of the Council and obtained a permanent seat on the ESCASC. Audrey Weese became a Student Court Juror, and John Lenahan. filled the seat vacated by Norma Magor earlier this year. The Junior Class has figured prominently in sports since its entrance into high school. Seven of the nine starters on this years soccer team were Juniors. All these boys represented their school to the best of their ability and Laddie Decker and Bob Templeton were appointed to positions on the 1956 All Suffolk Soccer Team Mattituck’s Varsity basketball team boasted six Juniors, three of these broke into the starring line-up by the end of the season. Bob Templeton led the team in scoring for the year and Lad Decker and Paul Pendzick figured in Coach Kahn's well rounded aggregation. Scholastically, the Junior class placed twenty students in the MHS Chapter of the National Honor Society, the largest group ever to enter at one time from our school. Led by Jack McNeil, whose average threat- ens to explode if he annexes any more stratospheric marks, the class as a whole has one of the highest all-round averages of any group that has gone through Mattituck High. All in all, the Junior class of 1956-57 was a very well balanced and well organized group. Members of our class helped their school tremendously in the Minstrel Show and Senior Play, while others labored on the Mettitalk and 'Reflector' Staffs. This class has just started to show rts diverse talents this year and promises The Sophomore Class started out the year with high hopes and ambitions ... it has lost some ol the high hopes along the way . . . but none of the ambitions. We elected class officers in September and when the votes were tallied Dick Grathwohl was Presi dent. Tom Matrick, Vice President. Pat Hannabury. Secretary, and Marilyn Abitz was Treasurer. Sally Fleet and Dick Sterling were elected as Student Council representatives. Sally was also chosen as Secretary of the Student Court. Our officers ran class meetings that were both beneficial and instructive. We discussed such things as proper dress for high school students, helped select records for the noon hour dance sessions, and proposed a Sophomore dance. A number of our classmen took part in the Minstrel Show. Tom Matrick. Sally Fleet. Pat Hannabury. Connie Jazombek. Barbara Muir. Linda Reeve. Connie Sledjeski. Carol Kneski. Dotty Truskolaski. Carolyn Fanning and Marilyn Abitz starred in solo and group numbers. Of course, all of the boys sang in the chorus. Many Sophomores participated in school sports this year. Floyd Harris played Varsity basketball and Terry Downs, Butch Lynch. Dick Grathwohl, John Kujawski, and Tom Booker scored high on the JV team. Our boys also excelled on the soccer team. Floyd Harris did exceptionally well, for at the end of the season he was picked for the All Star Scholastic Team in Suffolk County. Floyd received a trophy for his outstanding play. Sophomore girls went out for sports with much enthusiasm but Sally Fleet and Carolyn Fanning were the only girls who made volleyball playday. We started our first hiqh school year with many varied ideas . . . some good, some bad. but after a few weeks we found that our studies should come first. We did not seem to find rt difficult to adjust to our schedules and the differences between the grades and high school were not overwhelming. From Cutchogue we acquired Betsy Gerhardt. Robert Mahony, Richard Woodhull and James Tyler. Sidney Bail. Jeanette Lakowitz, and Marjorie Romanowski came to us from Laurel and Peter Zaweski from North- ville. Karen Audioun and Jan Holmes left u$ in October to go to Rorida. Edith Pyne came on January 29th from Astoria. Out of the 42 students in our class. 29 are Academic and 13 are Business or a combination of Business. Art. Home Economics, or Industrial Arts. Our class officers were Wesley Simchick. President: Peter Swahn. Vice President: Mary Ann Rieckman, Secretary: and Barbara Gildersleeve. Treasurer. Peter Swahn resigned as Vice President and Barbara Hiller took over. Barbara Tuthill and James Tyler were chosen as our Student Council representatives. Barbara Tuthill was also a member of the Student Court. James Wolbert. James Wyche. Charles Gremler, Peter Roache. and Wesley Simchick made the soccer team. Peter Swahn was chosen team manager. James Wolbert. Joseph Zuhoski. Charles Gremler. Peter Roache. Charles Coutts. Wesley Simchick. James Wyche and Peter Zaweski all made the Junior Varsity basket- ball squad. Freshmen girls who made the soccer team were Barbara Hiller. Anna Marie Krupski. Kathleen Reiter, and Barbara Tuthill. Anna Marie Krupski and Betsy Gerhardt made the volley ball team. We appreciated having our Guidance Gouncelor Mr. Sherwood and our teachers to talk our problems over with. The tests given to us by Mr. Sherwood helped us find ogr basic interests and aptitudes which will guide us in our choice of occupations later on. This has been a good year for the Freshman Class for as many, if not more, students from our group participated in extra-curricular activities than from any other class up to this date. Arthur McCow -31 i to do even more as we enter our final year at MHS. o A k Ellen Verchot John Long A '■A 'P'ted rtteti Mrs. Sherwood Mrs. Kramer Mrs. Crowell i Ifctd tytcule Our biggest project this year was Little Town . We planned the streets, made the building, signs, trees and people. We learn ed about community helpers, and how wns, cities, and farms depend on one en- ter. Our study of electricity helped us light up our town. Experiments in science Haught us many things, and it was fun to learn to multiply, divide and do cursive writing. tpwr ath if li Second fyade Twenty-nine little girts and boys started Second Grade in September. Kathy King left us in November to move to Babylon. Our school days are concerned with learn- ing to read for information and enjoyment. All our work is related to the development of reading abilities. We want to learn to live with each other, have respect for others and understanding and interest in the things around us. Projects and activities help us to develop good citizenship pract- ices and wider knowledge. We do a great deal of sharing in work, play and hobbies. Second (fauie Anytime is Reading Time in our Second Grade, and many of us have read several books. We enjoy writing our own stories and poems, too. The 3 R's are very im- portant to us but we have learned they can be fun. We are keeping a class diary Day by Day and have discovered many inter- esting ideas about days, months, numbers, and time. By studing our Community Help- ers we see how each person must work and play with others for a good living and iome of us have decided the kind of wori we would like to do someday soon. We are learning that healthy children are happy children and that safety is first, last and always. Our Assembly Program. I Hear America Singing shows how songs and dances have helped our country grow fnd remain free. In. Schiller Miss Buck 'Jout tyiade Grade IS Twenty four little boys and girls came in- to First Grade eager to learn how to read and write. Peter stayed with us only a week when his family moved to New Jersey. Two other boys left when the form work was finished. We have oeen busy learning how to read and how to add num- bers. Our motto is First we work than we ploy . We have ftn at times and we en- joy learning new words so we can be good readers. We made animals out «f cloy and they do look real. Our days or full and we always hove something interesting ito do. tyiacU Grade IB We all hove been very busy all year trying very hard to learn to read, to count, and to write well. We are planning to hove our assembly program on on Easter theme, since it comes right around that time. We were all thrilled to get cards from Miss Buck when she went to Florida Christmas time. We will all try very hard all year to do good work so we can go on to the Second Grade next year. Mrs. Bennett 0KiKcLe%yafite t Kindergarten Mrs. Bennett There are 50 children in Kindergarten this year, including two sets of twins. Miss Weiss comes in twice a week to hove me sic with us. We create things with poper. wood. clay, paint and crayons. We tell stories and personal experiences and es- pecially like listening to stories. By June we hope to write our names in manuscript, write and understand numbers from I-10 and complete our Reading Readiness workbooks . Perhaps we have the most fun in taking various field trips. Mr. Bennett The Eighth Grade is the senior class of the elementary school. As such we try to be worthy of this position. The girls now have three classes weekly in Home Economics and the boys in Industrial Arts. We have art and music, band, vocal and dancing lessons. We enjoy Physical Education twice a week. In our academic subjects we ere looking toward our June regents examin- ations. In Mathematics we are learning about insurance, taxes, stocks and bonds and we hope to be on a nodding acquain- tance with Algebra and Geometry at years end. The action of forces on elements, the changes in matter, the mystery of Astron- omy are some of the things we study in science. Literature, composition and gram- mar are our main interests in English while in Citizenship Education we learn of the founding, growth and” development of our great natibo. We trust that all these act- ivities will help us to become even better citizens. Mr. Kahn Mrs. Johnson Seventh nuCc One of our first activities was to elect class officials. Every week we have a meeting conducted by parlimentary procedure. A new activity this year was a course in Shop for the boys and a Homemaking Class for the qirls. Our projects have been quite successful and will help us in the future. s part of our Social Studies we have seen odustry at work by visiting several inter- sting places of business. This helps us nderstand how our state has become the rmpire State. Other activities included dancing, basketl all. and band. As part of our Science program we did experiments in Ub. This was an interesting privilege as weli as educational. You can see from our activities that we 3re iearnina to be aood citizens. ScxtA tyiade Our year started with the study of civil- ization. We made a large and colorful map to show Where Our Civilization Began . From there we continued our Social Studies by exploring the old world and visiting its places of renown. We were especially in- terested in the lands of our ancestors. Out of this developed our assembly program and writing the play, MHS Tour-O-Rama of Europe . Parliamentary law was studied, class officers elected and class meetings held. Three pupils joined our group, Barbara Page from Greenport. Raymond McCam- bridge, Paoli, Indiana and Kurt Klotzer from Mausdorf, Germany. TV 4 1 Mr. Kreiling Mr� . Lindsay Mrs. Reeve ScxtA tyuzde We ore now on the road to becoming world travelers, mathematicians and scholars. We have traveled through Europe and the world, battled fractions and dec- imals, and the field of correspondence. In preparation for our old age we have organized the Friday afternoon chess club with Darrell Hilliker our Down Easter (Maine) os a charter member. tyiacte On opening day we found the way to our new room which was on the second floor. We learned our work for the year would include the study of the geography and history of the Americas, fractions, measures and many other new facts in arithmetic, plus reading, science, etc. For assembly we presented the play Folk-O-Rama-USA . It showed many incidents which took place in the settling of our country. Each pupil had a part in it. We worked on many pro- jects which helped make our studies in- teresting. We have had a nice time being together this year. Besides our routine work of Studing Fractions . Learning about the Americas , and Adventuring in Science , we have had time to do several projects. Our favorite project was the USA on Parade . We made floats of each state and invited the other grades into our room to judge them. We made a mural of a light- house scene with our class pictures looking out of the lighthouse windows. In the spring we made an ABC book of the USA. Mr. Seaver helped us paint pictures to describe each topic and we wrote interesting para- graphs about each picture. yj Warm - 0?ou'it tyrade During the fell we mode large pictures telling the stories of Columbus and the Pilgrims. December found us busy with Christmas decorations. January was our big month with our Assembly program on the 16th. Our play helped us to realize that good food and exercise are necessary fo good health and happiness. Mrs. Strub 1 Irs. Birmingham potcit fyade We are enjoying our first experience with the study of History. Art has helped be- cause we make murals and individual pic- tures illustrating what we are learning. We of homonyms on pairs of mittens, socks, etc. billed a “Homonym Clothesline with pairs The library lent us a set of The World Book Encyclopedia . We are making our own Fourth Grade World Book of Reports and Pictures about subjects in which we become interested in History. Geography, Science and other reading. 7 W fyade We have enjoyed learning the multiplica- tion tables and have had the usual Grade 3 struggle with subtraction. As always, we were thrilled at our first time on the stage for Christmas Carols. We have had several seasonal projects — from a collection of seed pods in the fall to kites in March — using these in our Assembly program which featured March Winds . We made charts and posters from the records kept of our various subjects. 0freti 'ityocue As has been the custom in the past few years, the school held Open House in May. Parents and teachers met to discuss problems of the pupils and educational exhibits were set out for display by most of the classes. For the first portion of the program, parents and their children filed from one room to another and from floor to floor exchanging opinions with the teachers and taking in the at- mosphere of the school that houses the pupils for the majority of their waking hours. After this get acquainted period, a program was provided in the auditorium. The various musical organizations, the Band and the Glee Club, demonstrated their musical prowess in several varied selections calculated to appeal to every mood. Following this relaxing interlude, the MHS Tumblers, both male and female, put on a show designed to make an audience breath faster. The Open House has proved very successful and helpful in the past years and this term's get together was no exception. Setti i NAME LIKES DISLIKES Bagenski, C. Movies in History English Bates. M.

THE CLASS OF 1957 WITNESSES: Genevieve Jazombek Aristotle John Frazee Socrates Executors Once upon a time, way back in 1957 AD. there was a band of young braves who after four years on the warpath, succeeded in defeating, with but few casualties, the New York State Board of Regents. In the autumn of 1952 a band of 47 braves invaded the Senior High School where on September 14th they held their first council of war and elected Marie Siemerling a$ Chief. John Frazee as Assistant, and Genevieve Jazombek as keeper of the talking books . Keeper of the teepee was a new brave to our campfire. Mr. Wisnowski. This year of the first quarter of the new moon was a quiet one . . . they left the reservation only once to visit the island of bright lights and great noise where they attended the Metropolitan Opera. They heard the sad story of a squaw who got into much trouble Lucia di Lammermoor . With the rising of the moon in its second quarter and the successes of their Freshman year behind them, the braves marched into the Sophomore Class to earn new laurels for their headdress in 1953. To lead them into battle they chose as Chief. John Frazee and once again Squaw Jazombek was asked to care for the talking books . Mrs. Campbell, a squaw from across the great waters from the nation of the shenanigan and the blarney stone, had our braves go before the great council with a reading of poetry . . . done as choral reading, many a brave found himself with split tongue and the words came heavy and confused. The Biology scouts went on a trip to Brookhaven to see the work of the white man and to hear the story of the atomic bomb that went boom-boom on the land of the Rising Sun. Once again the place of the bright lights and great noise called them and this time the Metropolitan presented the Le Mariage de Figaro . In their Junior year ... the year of the third quarter of the moon ... a tribal pow-wow chose Barbara Florence as Chief. Ed Parrish as Assistant. Perpetual Genevieve as recording squaw, and Bruce Carruthers. as keeper of the Exchequer. In this year of the great harvest the warriors abandoned the tepee of Cochise, Hiawatha, etc., etc. and entered the castra of Julius Caesar with catsup and sheets (togas to you) to perform the tribal ritual at The Death of Julius Caesar . The Junior prom toolc a more radical departure from the ways of the white man and featured Three Coins in the Fountain with squirting water et al. The fete was so successful that the fountain splashed them with $7.00 worth of tossed coins . . . and the Prom itself netted over $78.00. John Frazee. Henry Lutz and John Niven were sent to the land of the Up-State indians to attend Boys State . . . the first group to send three braves to the event. In February the Great White Father in Downstairs Office sanctioned the admittance of ten scouts to the National Honor Society ... the ritual was followed by a tribal dance at Orient Beach State Park where Big Chiet Clingen was hit in the leg with a soft ball. Heap big Medicine Man has not made leg well yet. This year of the fourth quarter of the moon . . . braves sought muchum fun find muchum work. The Council hut was presided over by John Frazee and George Swahn. Braves Sledjeski and Kraus served with them. Great White Father in Upstairs Office, Mr Sherwood, was tribal advisor and sponsor. Squaw Wick was elected President of the Student Council after heap big talks that filled the air with hot and cold words. The tribal rally was so effective in singing the praises of Squaw Wick and Simchick and Scout Lutz . . . and the demonstrations were so boisterous that the Great White Father in Downstairs Office almost left the reservation. The Braves got out into the woods and sold more talking books than any other tribe and took in over $4,000.00 in sales. Scout Lutz got squawking box with dial for selling the most and Scout Parrish got sauawking box with little round disc as second prize. Tribal smoke signals were once again on the horizon when the defunct Mattitalk was revived by Chief Hilliker. Paper that says much and costs little was edited by Scout Niven assisted by Squaw Cooper. It featured many firsts: editorials that made much sense, a Christmas issue done in two colors, and many new mimeographing techniques. Another feather in their headdress was the origin of a Senior-Lions sponsored dance, The Snow Ball , . . . wampum from this event went for student scholar- ships. In the Springtime of the year ... in the time of new planting and warming sun . . . Senior Braves went on the warpath to the tepee of the Chief of the Nation in Washington. Old deeds were retold, new deeds were done . . . enough tq make bold •talk around Indians camp- fire for many and many a moon. tyuHi l 'P’UXtK Tb« Junior Prom, presented by the Class of 57 was one of the most spectacular ever held at the school. The theme of the dance was Three Coins in the Fountain and decorations included three huge silver corns huna from the ceiling and streamers of p'mk, green and white paper that were draped across the gym. A shimmering fountain completed the colorful panorama and served as a wishing well for the delighted ests More than seven dollars were collected in loose change tossed into the well by those who thought to improve their luck. Lilacs, freshly 'Ji. d added to the atmosphere of the dance. Frank Rogers and his orchestra did the honors and presented an evening of most enjoyable dance music. Refreshments were served by waitresses and waiters who were members of the class. To high-light a most satisfying evening the Junior class brought the festivities to a close with a midnight promenade. The Junior Prom was a great success and a capacity crowd en- o ed the fine decorations, the good refreshments, and the syncopated dance tunes of Frank Rogers and his orchestra. Smw Salt A new tradition was started at MHS this year with the presentation of the Snow Ball . This dance was originated by the Class of 1957 under the sponsorship of the Mattituck Lion's Club. It was a semiformal affair and the proceeds were put into the Lion's Scholarship fund for Matti- tuck High School students. The gym was beautifully decorated with white crepe paper, shimmering snow flakes, snowballs, and a huge white snowman stood at the center of the stage. Evergreens and fake snow were also used and backed up glimmering blue lights the gym had the appearance of a winter wonderland — cold and crisp. The Snow Ball drew a nice crowd and everyone enjoyed the music of the Musical Knights and the delicious refreshments served by the hosts. The efforts of all the Senior class went into making the dance enjoyable in the hope that it will become on annual affair.

As soon os school started the soccer team, under the tutelage of Coach Bob Muir, went into vigorous training. This year the team racked up a total of 23 goals scored as to I goal scored by the opposition. Unfortunately, the one goal scored was by Center Moriches and the former Suffolk County Champions were upset by a score of 1-0 on a rain swept foreign field. Due to the stellar defense play of the Tuckers , goalie Laddie Decker and full backs Bob Templeton and Floyd Harris secured berths on the All Suffolk Soccer Squad. $ V ‘SadUtfaUl This year, Coach Kahn was faced with the problem of molding a completely new JV team. Due to the large number of Sophomores on the squad the previous sea- son. experienced Sophomores and Freshmen for the 1956-57 program were at a minimum. Thus, as was ex- Dected. the team started slowly but as time passed it gained confidence and its win record improved. By the end of the scheduled season the JV's had moved gomes ahead and things shaped up good for a strong finish. 07eH U Mattituck has mode her mark in minor sports os well as in major sports during the past few years. Table tennis, a notional favorite as a party gome, especially attracted MHS students and two years ago they swept Suffolk County by gaining both the doubles and the singles crowns. This year, in pre-season warm-ups, against South- old. the team was most impressive. We wish our Table tennis players the best of luck in the tournaments that will be held late in the spring. ions Sototitty Bowling at MHS has increasad in popularity in th© last two years. Under the guidance of Gordon Cox and the co- operation of the Mattituck Lanes the boys were able to set up a league of their own. The bowlers with highest averages formed a team that played other schools during the year. The MHS team also participated in the Sec- tion VIII Bowling Tournament and did very well against schools with much larger enrollments. Our golf team, made up of Rudi Alec. Eddie Parrish, and Connie Begenski did very well in matches around the eastern end of Long Island. Mr. McCaw. an old golfing enthusiast, coached the team ably and although the boys just about broke even in the seasons play, all who part- icipated really enjoyed themselves. •uxc This is the newest sport at MHS. for track was introduced to our school only three years ago. and than as a minor sport. Since its introduction track has increased in pop ularity and a large turn-out is expected this season. The team lost Don Sherwood, Long Island s number one shot-putt artist. Our sprint man. Jimmy Funn. was also lost by graduation. This year our team will compete with many tough schools but we are sure it will give a good ac- counting of itself. The Chess Club, prodded on by its President John Niven, ended its second year of activity at Mattituck High. This group has shown the intellects of MHS the ins and outs of chess play. The Club is one of the most active ones in the school, and participates in chess-by-mail tourna- ments sponsored by the International Chess Club. Mr. Sherwood sparked interest in boys tennis at MHS and formed the first team in the spring of 1956. The squad was assembled primarily for the purpose of playinq and learning the fundamentals of tennis. However, in- lerscholastic meets were soon arranged with Southold and Southampton and the MHS group emerged unde feated in five engagements. SeuefaU Although soccer and basketball are considered major sports at MHS our baseball team always makes a good showing at interscholastic competition. Coach Muir puts the group through its paces early m the spring and this year the line-up looks very impressive. The Reflector goes to press before the baseball season opens but from the prospective turn-out — and with return to the diamond of some of last years Aces — we expect a successful season. (finit VoUetf6cUl Girls' volleyball seemed to make a big hit with the stud- ents in the fall term. Coach Gillespie had an excellent turn-out for the team and out of a large group chose players that could hold any position. This team journeyed to East Hampton on December 15 for Playday and did exceptionally well considering the size of the schools that were competing. Our Girls’ volleyball team slaughtered Sag Harbor. (firtc' S zt6et(kUl Coach Gillespie with few returning veterans had the job of forming a ball club which could equal last years out- standing team. Since basketball is a favorite sport at MHS there were enough lower classmen to fill the empty positions. Considering the inexperience of the team we did a fine job at Playday . . . and lost only one game. (finlt Soccer Early in September Miss Gillespie called her soccer team together. Three Seniors, and eleven lower classmen show- ed up for the squad . . . and out of these our new Coach molded a smooth working and efficient soccer team. The girls played hard and traveled to Riverhead High for their sole interscholastic game of the year. They put up a good fight and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. GIRLS’ SPORTS The lively end Agile girls of the gym classes again pre- sented their tumbling routines at Open House . The gymnasts performed to the fast moving recording of Hooey Babe . As in previous years the girls were really on their toes and gave the audience a fine exhibition of the fair sex's athletic ability . Sfronts Coach Gillespie chose teams in baseball, archery, and tennis from the girls who went out for spring sports. These groups will participate in Spring Playday at South- ampton sometime in May. Despite the fact that many of the contesting teams represent larger schools, rt is ex- pected that MHS will do its best and place first in many events. 'Ptacfdeuf4. New York State has a law that girls may not participate in regular intra-scholastic sports. To give the girls com- petitive incentive the coaches of ELI have setup play- days . There are four playdays during the school year and they feature intra school games in baseball, archery, soccer, volleyball and basketball. 'Uaxtity (tyeenleeut iA Along with a great varsity basketball team this year we again came up with a lively group of varsity cheerlead- ers. Sporting blue and gold uniforms Mamie Funn. Dor- othy Zaweski. Genevieve Jazombek, Ann Jerome. Bar- bara Chudrak and Ann Penny did a good job of gaining the support of the student body for the team. It was a great basketball season with lots of cheering from these lively lassies. $ t (ZAealeeuCetA Although the JV basketball team did not have an un- defeated season, perhaps it was because of that extra spark from the JV Cheerleaders Barbara Muir. Dorothy Hudson. Audrey Weese, Patty Tuthill. Joanne Konchalski, and Dorrie Swahn that they did as well as they did. The girls wore navy blue uniforms with yellow bows at the neck. Their enthusiasm brought support from the student body and urged the team on to victory. 'rtyoHtyi Satiety The Mattituck Chapter of the National Honor Society started its meetings earlier than usual this year under the direction of Mr. Sherwood. The first item on the agenda was election of officers. John Frazee was chosen as President with Jack Kauneckas and Joan Sledjeski as Vice President and Secretary, respectively. We decided to make our meetings as formal as possible so appointed John Niven as Parliamentarian. Meetings were held periodically to discuss projects for the year and to initiate new members from the Junior Class. A very impressive induction ceremony was held in the school auditorium on February 13th and lawyer William Wickham was the featured speaker. After the assembly a tea was served by the Home Economics department for the honor students, their parents, and the teachers. Rada As a part of tta Physics-Science Department. Mr. Sher- wood formed the Radio Club for students interested in delving more deeply into the field of electronics not included in the textbook. Several Physics students were immediately intrigued with the idea of eventually estab- lishing their own radio station and with this added incent- ive the club gathered a good following. For the first few meetings time was mainly devoted to the mastery of the Morse Code and lectures on electronic devices by Mr. Sherwood and the McNeil brothers. Due to the amount of interest shown in this club we predict spectacular projects and fine scholastic work from its members in future years. 'prencd, (?tu6 The French Club celebrates its third anniversary this year. The club seems to have as much appeal for its members on its third birthday as it did on its first. This year some interesting and unique plans have been proposed to hold interest in the Clubs doings. Early in the term an organi- zation meeting was called by the French teacher, Miss Verchot. at which time officers were elected and tentative plans set up. One project that had wide appeal was a visit to a French restaurant in New York City where the group sampled native cuisine and adapted its conversat- ional French to a practical situation. Due to the influence of John Niven. Editor, and Mr. Hilliker. Faculty Advisor, the nearly defunct Mattitalk was completely revamped for the new year. Deadlines were enforced, more articles of interest to the student body were printed, and for the first time well thought- out editorials touched the serious side of our everyday world. A printing first was established at MHS as new mimeographing techniques were applied to our tabloid. For the Christmas edition a bi-colored paper was pub- lished which won immediate approval end increased sub- scriptions from students and faculty alike. Two slogans seemed to be applicable to our Press Club; Good work and Keep it up . Scutd Remember that group of musicians who paraded, through the village on Memorial Day in their snappy blue and gold uniforms? Remember their ’ peppy music and intricate formations at the home basketball games? Remember how they added to the gaiety of Open House ? This group of fast-steppmg music makers is Mr. Toppings Mattituck High School Bond. The Bond is made up of some sixty musicians from Grades 6 through 12 whose will to work and give us music at its best has made this organization a year-round activity and a big port of our everyday school life. lee Another extra-curricular activity which yields both fun and scholastic credits to participating students is the Glee Club. Taught by our precise and talented director. Mr. William Topping, the Glee Club hod another fine season. The Club meets twice a week and used the time to practice for the concerts that it presents during the year. Two such concerts ore given solely for the benefit of the high school and faculty — one is given in the fall and the other in the spring. The Glee Club also sings in the annual Christmas program and assists at graduation. To teach the members flexibility in tempo os well as range of voice. Mr. Topping selects a large variety of songs for the group. This year the music has varied from the calm, simple four port harmony of Low How a Rose 'Ere Blooming , to the rapid and complex 6 and 8 port harmony of Handel’s Messiah. (tyuAfattU 'PloyiCUK This year, in keeping with post years the annual Christmas program was a thing of grace and beauty. A change in proceedure which made the program more of a pageant than a recital served to odd interesting variety to the recital. The participants were in three groups. The Choir, made up of Grades 3 through 8; the Glee Club, composed of top-notch singers from the high school; and a group of fifteen girls selected from the 7th and 8th Grades. The program opened with a few preliminary carols sung by the choir. Next the Glee Club sang a number of carols — these included the Halleluiah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah and White Christmas. The Glee Club was followed by the 7th and 8th Grade girls — they were dressed in white robes and carried candles and as they walked across the stage they sang carols that told the Christmas Story. Mr. William Topping directed the Glee Club and Miss Joan Weiss directed the choir and girls group. Tftutafael S6mv The lights flickered then slowly died out. The piaro started and the Twenty-second Annual Minstrel Show was underway. The theme for this year was 'Showboat'' and captained by Mr. Interlocutor, John Frazee, coupled with a fine crew of endmen, John Lenohan, Bill Lindsay. Bill Jackowski, George Swahn, Dave Tuthill, and Paul Pendzick, the boat moved along at a good rate. Dancing for the show was superb and included a soft shoe number, polka dancers, and the famous Mattituck High School Rockettes. The Rockettes were featured in two colorful presentations. First, they gave a demonstration of popular Latin Ameri- can dances with a running commentary by the Interlocutor. As on encore number, the Rockettes changed costumes and tapped their way through a swinging arrangement of 'H reen Door ! Mellow musical numbers were supplied by several female duets, trios and other multiple combinations. Outstanding groups in this category were the Soph- omore Quintette, hanmonizing on Blue Room , Anne Jerome, Madeline Ruland, Audrey Weese, singing Only a Shanty , and Linda Reeve, and Myra McCollum doing a cute job in rendering Playmates . Throughout the show, many talented soloists were dispersed to provide frequent change of pace. Backed up by the accompanists and the boy's chorus all did a splendid job. Outstanding veteran soloists included Dotty Zaweski, Jim McNeil, Aud- rey Weese, and Jim Reeve. Two novelty numbers added a great deal of life at opportune times. The Boys' Chorus after many years of stellar background work, was featured os a solo organization doing an old Southern selection typical of the pre-Civil War era. Pick a Bale of Cotton . Next, a newly formed Rock n' Roll Band knocked the audience dead with a hot arrangement of The Rock a Beatin Boogie . All the acts coupled with plenty of hard work by; the faculty resulted in a very successful presentation. Special mention should be made of the splendid scenery built by Mr. Strub and painted by Mr. Seaver, music supervised by Mr. Topping, dances by the Physical Education instructors, endman by Miss Verchot and Mr. Clingen and general super- vision by Mr. Sherwood. Every year people exclaim that the show was the best ever and this year due to the cooperation and work of all hands the Show- boat was a complete success.
