Mattitalk Staff This year we improved our school paper by publishing it weekly. We wanted a paper that would be a source of information of the past, present and future events and that would keep both parents and students aware of school func- tions. Our business staff, plus ten appointed reporters, functioned smoothly in providing a newsy Mattituck on the last day of every school week. The switch from a semi-monthly to a weekly publication provided an up-to-date paper that was more than just a “souvenir”. l'he Mattitalk staff distributed over seven hundred copies of each issue to students, teach- ers, custodians, business men and the many schools on our exchange list. Our Co-Editors, MarilynO'Brien and Connie Sledjeski, with the aid of our adviser, Mr. Hilliker, did a fine job of keeping the organization functioning smoothly most of the time. Meeting a weekly deadline became a weekly habit with this staff. Some of our articles were typed as late as Friday afternoon on the date of publication. To say the least, this new publica- tion schedule caused many confusing Friday afternoons and the loss of more than a few hairs horn the head of Mr. Hilliker. However, we feel that the effort is not wasted, for we printed a paper that was truly worthwhile.

On Friday, May 29, 1958 the mundane at- mosphere of the MHS gym was transformed into that of a medieval castle, in accordance with the theme of the Junior Prom — Cinderella’s Ball”. As one passed between the impressive stone towers, he was enchanted with the scene before him. The pink and white decorations provided a background for the glittering white and gold coach. A silver slipper, bedecked with sparkling jewels, further brought out the “Cinderella” motif. At the stroke of midnight, Beryl Sirrine was crowned Cinderella” by George Loeb, who pro- vided the music for dancing. Glancing at the practical side, one sees that the Class of ’59 reaped a profit, while providing an enjoyable evening for all. Junior Prom Snow Ball Mattituck High students find much joy dur- ing the Christmas holidays. Not only does school close and Santa come down the chimney with his sack full of yuletide presents, but the Senior Class sleds-out its annual Snow Ball — which is to many dance-struck “Tuckers” the delight of the holidays. The beautifully ornamented Christmas tree and the gayly wrapped packages brought out the theme of An Old Fashioned Christmas”. To please the more active set, “The Cardinals” of College Point, hit the hipsters with rock ’n roll selections that shook the walls of the hall and stirred the jingle bells hanging from the ceiling into tinkling merriment. Once again the Snow Ball was a yuletide success — and the coffers of the Lions’ Club Scholarship Fund were refurbished so that some deserving student can be helped to further his | or her education.
