His was the leading role: that of administrator, of counselor, of friend. He faced innumerable duties, small and large, as the head of our school, duties requiring intuition, inspiration, fortitude, and ability. Among his attributes which we admire and respect are level-headedness, extraordinary capacity for moderation, and idealism tempered with realism. When in the course of our lives we meet an individual with such outstanding qualities so rare is this person that he becomes distinct in our minds; we set him apart from all others. And when we move on—each of us discovers that we have taken some of him with us. He becomes a part of us; his soundness of moral principle strengthens our own. The unfettered simplicity of his devotion to his appointed task lights our way along the difficult road, and keeps us from choosing the easier one. The world is irreparably indebted to such a person. The influence of his character over the past twenty-five years extends far beyond the immediate sphere of his activities. To dedicate is to honor ... we so honor Mr. Augustus C. Garelle on this his 25th Anniversary as Principal of Mattituck High School.

The Student Council is Mattituck High’s most active and most important service organization. It has fourteen members, elected from the seven upper grades, who choose their own officers; tradition has given the office of president to a senior. Besides making up the laws that help to govern the student body, and taking charge of the school elections, the council renders many services to other organizations and to the school as a whole. We are proud to be included as part of the dedication tribute to Mr. Garelle. As our sponsor he has taken a keen interest in all our projects . . . and with his quiet discipline has kept our council’s actions in the middle-of-the-road. May we thank you, Mr. Garelle, for making our work with you such a re- warding pleasure. Wisdom is the principle thing; Therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thou has gotten Get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thees She shall bring thee to honour, When thou dost embrace her, She shall give to thine head A chaplet of grace. Proverbs 4:7-9 STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTION Every presidential election year the Matti- tuck student body chooses its Student Council President and Vice President by plebescite vote. The election follows very closely the pro- ceedures of the national elections. There are nominations, platforms, speeches, slogans, ban- ners, parades, debates, and all the color that is typical of any hard fought campaign. The election was held on October 14, and by the first reports on the voting it seemed that there would be a close race between the candidates, Barbara Bialeski, of the Student’s Party, and George Lomaga, of the Scholarship Party. However, as the voting continued and the final ballots were tallied, the Lomaga- Krupski team pulled out in front by a sizeable 143 to 98 vote. STUDENT COUNCIL vtt.

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, scholarship, leadership, and service. Yes, anyone who possesses these qualifi- cations is certainly deserving of recognition. The college student has Phi Beta Kappa; MHS has the Honor Society. The high- light of the year is the impressive induction ceremony which is witnessed by a part of the student body. How the honored ones are envied when they are presented with the pins signifying membership, and each person in the audience is inspired to study hard and remember the four standards — Character, Scholar- ship, Leadership, and Service. ROLAND S. SHERWOOD, SPONSOR The aggregate number of students participat- ing in one or more activities at Mattituck High is creditably large. The rewards derived from such participation are decidedly real and worth while. Extra curricular activities broaden social intercourse and stimulate democratic tendencies. Of all our student activities, the Minstrel Show is most intense in its influence . . . for this pro- duction takes in scores of students from the whole high school. Yes, school activities have been the center of much of the informal social life, and have been instrumental in developing good fellowship between classes and among individual students.

Glee Club Junior Band H i Music J r 4 e r Mattituck High School holds with the idea that its function is not that of Riling a station where students after a few years can acquire the requi- site information necessary to graduate, but rather that it is a training ground where students and instructors alike may gain experience in wider and better living. Athletics offer unusual opportunity for the development of habits, atti- tudes, and ideals making toward sound charac- ter. We are convinced that participation in our athletic program contributes not only to the physical well being of those concerned but is instrumental in the development of such person- ality and character traits as poise, confidence, self control, and courage.

As Coach Hussnatter called the roll at the outset of the season, each loyal student took inventory of the team in anticipation of getting the advance dope on what our chances were for the Suffolk County Championship. Last years stars were counted on to bear the brunt of battle, while new varsity players were thoroughly scouted out to see if any could be used to re-inforce the ranks. From the beginning of the school term, basketball enthusiasm began to grow and be- came more and more intense as the season got under way and finally reached the climax in the playoff for the championship. To recount this most successful year we must go back to the first game of the season. The student body was behind the team one hundred percent as it went into the first game. After a 66 to 23 trouncing of Southampton it gained even more confidence in the boys. The season was going great with 5 wins, when the team came up against a tough Westhampton team and was beaten 54 to 56. But the MHS student body rallied—the team felt the surge—and learning a lesson from this first loss—determined to fight through to the championship.

The day of the game arrived, the school was tense, but confidence in the team never wavered. The large crowd from MHS gathered at Sachem long before the game began—they were well rewarded for by the end of the first half MHS had a 28 point lead. The boys continued to play heads-up ball for the second half and brought home the County Class B. Championship; Kings Park bit the dust after a valiant fight—76 to 44. High scorer for the year was Dave Tuthill with 381 points—John Krupski tallied 310 points—and Herman Strickland sank 208. Robert Bolling with great defensive play totaled 114 and Jerry Sawicki filled the hoop with 98 well placed points. VARSITY SOCCER Left to Right, First Row: Clarence Brown, Richard Sabat.

With most of the soccermen returning to the fray next season we are looking for a championship aggregation. It is true that the Muirmen made a stumbling start in the early season competition, but after the first few games the team seemed to melt together and really got the old “go-go” spirit. To analyze a team’s successes and failures in a post play resume is both unfair and trite. . . however, to give credit where it is due ... is both pleasing and necessary. To compile a record of seven wins Jerry Sawicki booted in 20 points and Herman Strickland belted over a total of 10. The backfield, recovering from a slow strart, and sparked by two senior co-captains, George Hughes and Rich- ard Sabat, caught fire, and with Bob Bolling, Kurt Klotzer, and Joe Krupski using the hard boot, burned through most opposition in late season play. Dave Tuthill, all six foot plus of him, played a hanky-panky but always lanky goalie position—and stopped the opposition at the end of many a long drive down the greensward. The fact that we were able to finish among the runners up is a tribute to the fine coaching of Bob Muir and to the “never say die” spirit that he always inspires in his boys.

Yet, fortunately for schools, the children in any age group are more alike than they are different. Each age is marked by distinguishable common characteristics; by many similar ways of behaving and learning. All children can be counted upon to have many basic needs in common, as well as many differences. Among these fundamental common needs are the need for a balanced day of rest, play and work; a nutritious and varied diet; a feeling of being needed and loved; a secure place in one’s group; and, of course, a need to gain gradually the common learnings which all citizens in a democracy must have—children and adults alike.” Kindergarten Left to Right.

Mickey' Class of “In today’s school there is no one best way of organizing and managing the class. Some- times the class works together, sometimes the class is divided into groups. At other times each child studies independently. Discussion, re- search, committee work techniques, study skills, trips, the use of audio-visual aids, the making of illustrative models—all these are featured in a unified program of learning. These different ways each contribute to the all-around develop- ment of the junior high school student. The children in their work, in their study, and in their play are learning the ways of democracy”.

Early in the evening parents are en- couraged to visit the teachers and the classrooms of their children where they are given a first hand opportunity to observe their sons and daughters at work. The re- mainder of the evening is spent in the auditorium where the parents are entertained by a music and sports program. Open House prepares the way for many interesting experiments and demonstrations in the labora- tory. The Science classes spend many weeks preparing for their demonstrations . . . and our “Re- flector” photographer has caught some of them in action. OPEN HOUSE D. Rose and C.

TREES. ost all day the long, lazy, sunlit summer was a prelude to going back to school, to busy days packed to the last minute with work and fun, with the absorbing activities of Student Coun- cil, Minstrel Show, basketball, clubs, dances, all sandwiched in with the more serious things of life, the making of good study habits, prepara- tion for college or jobs, taking those first few steps toward the goal—a good education. ow each anticipated the return to school in his own way. The sophomore felt more assurance; he had walked the trail before. The junior faced new opportunities, new privileges, apprentice- ship in service. The senior, passing the building occasionally, realized that his biggest year was opening in promise of added responsibility, greater challenge to leadership, rounding out of educational experiences . . . He saw the campus waiting, sleeping, silent in the summer sun . . . o all returned... each in his own way... each with his own attitude . . . each with his separate contribution. And all the year long these dif- ferent personalities, the sophomore, the junior and the senior mingled their interests, made their individual mark as best befitted each one of them . . . And now the year is done—and herewith we present the story of that year . . . vivid, deep-sunk footprints in the tide-sand of life’s ocean.

In the midst of the crackling lines and humorous discussion of dates comes Bud Hooper, who is plenty gloomy. His roommates finally find out the trouble. A month ago when they went to see a movie starring Gale Joy—the wham girl—the trouble started. Bud got carried away and he wrote the movie star, asking her to come to the prom. And she accepts! (They don’t know how she needs a publicity break!) Bud has hastily written his regular date, Helen, that he has had an attack of the grippe and he expects to have it until after the dance. But, so that the faculty won’t get angry, Bud tries to take the publicity-needing Gale Joy to the dance as his girl Helen—and then Helen arrives! Bud gets deeper and deeper into trouble, and the final happy solution that saves Bud from being expelled makes this what we firmly believe to be one of the finest youthful comedy skits to grace the MHS stage. “Best Foot Forward” was the last play to be cast and directed by our Mrs. Campbell—for she is leaving us in the fall. May we extend to her our best wishes and say that we will have a hard time replacing her—on the stage—in class— and on the faculty. It’s June, the grandest month of the year, yet we seem a bit oblivious of the joys and happiness brought about by this time of sea- son. Our days of school are almost over. Days spent steeping ourselves with knowledge, meth- ods, practice and the application of what we have learned. Days which have comprised the most useful years of our lives. Time has passed too swiftly over these priceless years spent in attainment of our goal and the realization of our ideal. To us all it seems our work has just begun yet June is here confidently thrusting us into the world, prepared to justify our study at Mattituck High and daring a challenge of a world to conquer.
