Mattituck High School - Reflector Yearbook (Mattituck, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1966 volume:

ZJT Z ii A l £ Gertvi-verva F MATTITUCK HIGH SCHOOL A school building, constructed of concrete and steel, conveys the distinct impression of strength and permanence even as it ac- commodates an ever-changing flow of students. Day after day, year-in and year-out, waves of students move along its halls and classrooms. Governed by the ur- gent call of bells, tides of students wash restlessly in and out of rooms, along the corridors, and finally recede altogether, leaving the building empty of everything save echoes. Carl Sandburg, in his poem Skyscraper , says, It is the men and women, boys, and girls so poured in and out all day that give the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and mem- ories . But our waves of students are made up of individuals, each of whom contributes to the mass. So too, each individual contributes to the soul of Mattituck ... to that nebulous thing we label school spirit . Soon, we of the Class of 1966 will leave Matti- tuck's student body, but the indi- vidual dreams and thoughts and memories molded in these rooms and hallways and treasured by each of us, will enable us to hold to some part of Mattituck's spirit. We submit, before we leave, the 1966 REFLECTOR, an abstract of the people and events which com- prised our senior year. THE REFLECTOR MA TTITUCK, LI, NEW YORK I 1966 Mr. Lee Ellwood SPARKLE, WIT, RADIANCE . . . these were the words which characterized our choice of dedicatee for the 1966 REFLECTOR. His cheerful smile and unfaltering desire to assist, brightened the day of all around him . . . students, fellow teachers, and friends alike. Always offering a comfort- ing word and a helping hand when one was needed most, he won respect of faculty and love of students. His English and Latin classes were lightened by his interesting anecdotes and unpredictable humor. A devoted teacher, a wise coun- selor, a loyal supporter of MaWituck High . . . he sincerely applied the golden rule in his dealing with students. Mr. Lee Ell- wood was outstanding among us. For his rare ability to combine fun and work ... to add pleasure and satisfaction to learning ... to be a true friend . . . and to dedicate his all to us; we give our yearbook, REFLECTOR 1966, to you, Mr. Lee Ellwood. Even after a hard day . . . Mr. Ellwood heads home to Riverhead with a smile on his face. Coach Ellwood and Coach- Muir assess the prospects of a good year in sports . . . from the grins . . . things must look good. Here is our good friend with some of his good friends. 3 Mr. William H. Liebeknecht Principal Good secretaries are the right hand of efficient ad-, ministration. No one appreciates this fact more than Mr. Liebeknecht ... he knows that the smooth operation of his school is in no small part due to the hard work of our dedicated secretaries . . . Miss Mary Burns, Mrs. Virginia Haas and Mrs. Katherine Dillingham. TO THE CLASS OF 1966 As you graduate from one of the finest schools in the country you face a world with many diverse conflicts and problems but it is a world which offers a most exciting future for those who will accept the challenge. The next decade will see more changes in our world than have occurred over the past one hundred years. You have the opportunity to con- tribute and benefit in the dawn of a new era. I feel certain THE CLASS OF 1966 will accept and demonstrate their abilities of leadership and citizenship wherever the future may lead. Every- one is proud of your accomplishments thus far . . . and we wish you the best of a boundless and bright life ahead. WILLIAM H. LIEBEKNECHT Principal 4 Our Assistant Principal The world in which atomic energy is widely used will differ in many re- spects from that of an earlier age as this new development has its full impact. Not only will it light our cities, propel our ships and airplanes, and perhaps even aid us to reach other planets; it affords man a tool for industry and a research instru- ment for science, whereby the ut- most secrets of life itself may be un- covered. What a glorious opportunity and yet a fearsome moral responsi- bility for our graduates of ,today! May each one of you be able to rise to the challenge of such an adven- ture into the future. MR. ROLAND SHERWOOD Our Guidance Director To the CLASS OF 1966 go my best wishes for a full life. We here at Mattituck High have tried to stimu- late you to do your best so that you will be prepared for all eventualities. As I have told graduates in the past, and this certainly holds for you, your graduation is not the end of a good friendship with our school. If you need advice in the future and if you think we may be able to help you, please give us a call ... or better still . . . stop in to see us! MR. VERNON STRUB The Board of Education The interest and concern of the people in this community for the students of Mattituck are evident in the finely equipped High School ... in programed youth activities . . . and in the school board.

Although the Tuckers had a disap- pointing season standing 4th out of 6 . . . they came on strong during the last half of the year, by winning 5 out of 8, to finish with a 7-8 league record and 8-10 overall. Competing in the combined League 6-7 race, the Tuckers had most of their trouble with three teams, los- ing six to Easthampton, Southamp- ton, and Sag Harbor. Since these teams copped playoff berths in their respective leagues, the Tuckers shouldn't feel too bad about being defeated by these squads. All in all the boys and Coach Ell- wood (his first season at MHS) should be commended for being fine representatives of their school and for a fine 6-2 home record.

Decisions! Deci- sions! Decisions! 42 The 1965 Season A Good One At Mattituck fall means soccer and soccer means a rough, tough schedule in one of the strongest Leagues in Suffolk County. The 1965 squad, un- der the able guidance of Coach Robert Muir, began to work as a team early in the season and won the League V and County Championships with a 16-1-2 slate. The only loss was a 2 to 1 defeat by Southold. Post-season recognition was bestowed upon goalie Glenn Eugster, wings Howie Wolbert, Tim Wyche and full- back Allen Tuthill. Eugster, Wolbert and Wyche were selected for the All League VI Squad; Allen received hon- orable mention votes. The W wings, Wyche and Wolbert, were both chosen to the All Suffolk County Team. Although certain boys did gain extra recognition it was a sixteen-man team that brought home the county cham- pionship to Mattituck High. Congratulations for a wonderful sea- son . . . but you earned every bit of it.

The Spec- tacular spectators had their usual share of thrills and spills ... a wonderful, fun-filled evening for all. Our Exchange Student ROBERT Y HIRASUNA Never-to-be-forgotten bonds stretch from Mattituck to our newest state, Hawaii. Robert Y. Hirasuna, our International Fellowship Exchange Student, has taught us much about life in our fiftieth state. Bob came to us from Kailua where his father is a dentist . . . Bob has the same ambition, to attend a Mid-western dental school. Kailua High School, with a total enrollment of 1,000, selected only 13 students for the International Fellowship Exchange program. Bob Hirasuna considered himself more than privileged to be one of these. Robert has won our hearts with his sincerity and his warm smile. Academically he has ranked with the top members of his class. The sophomores are indeed happy and proud to have had Bob as a member of their group. RESHMAN CLASS: First Row, I to R: S. Rose, B. Edison, L. Pace, L. Kewin, C. Marangas, C. Sabat.

It's a Small World turned out to be a big hit The stage band blew up a storm and brought down the house. Our Junior-Senior Play VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET Our Junior-Senior play, a popular comedy by Gore Vidal, involved a visitor from outer space who came to do a bit of sightseeing and to see or start a war. He believed he had arrived on earth to see the Civil War, but discovered to his dismay that he had misjudged his landing and had arrived too late. Making the best of it, he gurgled, Isn't hydrogen fun? , as he heard about modern warfare. This interplanetary visitor, who could read human minds, and even had stimulating conversations with a house cat, established himself in a typical American community, including a typical general, a typical young couple in love, a typical news commentator, and a far from typical cat. Often, what our visitor saw was funny simply because it was so typical. Since he had missed the Civil War, our visitor decided to begin his own war. He was delighted with the many new playthings the 20th century had developed, and wanted to see them put to use. Since emotions had been eliminated on his own planet to allow for proper intellectual development, he saw no reason why a few mil- lion people should object to dying for his amusement. The concerted action of the whole cast was required to persuade him to postpone his war. Our cast included: Kreton ..........................

She must select topics that will interest and inform the student body . . . she must see to it that the opinions expressed are fair and in good taste. The Mattitalk Goes to Press STEP TWO: Editor Berdinka then meets with her assistant editors, Lindsay, Sledjeski, Funn and Ficner and they in turn will dole out the leg-work to their reporters in the field. STEP THREE: Financing a school paper is no small job. Bob Greeves of the Mattitalk's business staff rolls some round numbers through his adding machine. The paper must stay within a strict budget. STEP FOUR: The reporters have turned in their work to the editors . . . now comes the task of perusing the material and typing up the final stencils. STEP FIVE: The presses are ready to roll. Susan Zaleski is about to push the button and the Mattitalk will be coming off the press in a jiffy. It looks easy . . . but it is all hard work. Senior Members: First Row L to R: B. Berdinka, D.

The members of the National Honor Society are chosen on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, character and services during their school years. Mattituck High School has ten senior members and eleven junior members in its Chapter of the National Honor Society. The officers are: William Phillips, President . . . Kathy Kewin, Vice President, and Berna- dette Berdinka, Secretary. Induction ceremonies for the junior mem- bers, at which they took the Society pledge and received their cards and pins, were held on February 9. Dr. Robert Umphrey, Director of the Division of Humanities at Southhampton College, was guest speaker. OFFICE SERVICE SQUAD: This group supplies students to do the general secretarial work of the school. They do typing, run errands, deliver messages, and answer telephones. Mr. Harold Carr, our Business Teacher, is sponsor of this activity. FUTURE NURSES CLUB: Mrs. Hope Phillips, School Nurse, organized this club several years ago. Girls in- terested in nursing participate by visiting hospitals, clinics, and other institutions of medical or mental affiliation. Our year was a busy one as we were active in the many Mattituck High or- ganizations which satisfied and de- veloped our varied interests. Many of us did not leave the school building when the 3:15 dismissal rang, but headed for a scheduled meeting. The organizations provided learning, light-hearted fun and relax- ation for members. Any student in- terested in a club was free to join if he could meet grade requirements of that organization. The various clubs aimed for the fu- ture, opening the doors of new inter- est for many, and benefiting the school as a whole through their ac- tivities. We gained satisfaction in solving a new mathematical equation, completing a project, creating a work of art or earning applause on the stage in front of an audience. Organizations served an important part in our daily life by opening new fields of interest and encouraging new friendships. They provided entertainment, but more important, they taught us to work together. AUDIO VISUAL AIDS CLUB: The newest of our service groups, the AVAC has done a commendable job this year. Mr. Gerry Brown's squad may be seen at almost any hour of the school day . . . delivering AVA equipment . . . showing films ... or just trying to keep a hectic film library in order. Teachers are really appre- ciative of the good work of this club. ▲I VA' Student Activities FUTURE TEACHERS CLUB: More MHS June graduates will enter Teacher's College than any other school . . . this is partly the result of their keen interest in this very active career group. Mr. Vernon Strub sees to it that his members acquire experience in the field by filling in as teacher's aids. It is this opportunity to try out their skills that has made many students decide to enter the profession. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB: The Reflector Staff can truly say, Thank goodness these kids came along . They have turned out to be very adept with the camera and have supplied our yearbook with some of its best photography. We would like to thank Mr. Ed Hanus and his aggregation for their help in the production of this Reflector. THE MATTITALK STAFF ART CLUB: Mr. Dick Griffith's group specializes in bulletin board displays ... art poster contests . . . ceramics . . . and projects that are beyond the scope of the in-school art class. The Art Club's work on the scenery for the Variety Show and the Senior-Junior Play is of especial service to the student body.
