Mattituck High School - Reflector Yearbook (Mattituck, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1969 volume:

REFLECTOR Nineteen hundred and sixty nine Throughout this year, we have seen a striking combination of the old and the new. The old traditions with the new ideas; the old classrooms with the new subjects: the seniors and the freshmen. As we journey the road to the future, we hesitate to discard the past and yet we eagerly look forward to the new and exciting ideas and changes which are made possible only by dedication and a strong determination to better our school for ourselves and for those who follow us. MATTITUCK H SCHOOL MATTITUCK, L. I., N. Y. We liked THF REFI ECTOR STAFF TAKES PRIDE IN DEDICATING THE 1969 REFLECTOR TO MR. ROBERT FISHER. ENTHUSIASTIC INVOLVEMENT IN STUDENT ACTIVITIES, A SENSE OF THE INHERI-AT WORTH OF EVERY STUDENT. AND A PROFOUND RELUCTANCE TO CONDEMN ARE QUALITIES RE- FLECTED IN HIS UNIQUE PERSONALITY. STUDENTS WHO H WE KNOWN HIM AS THEIR INDUSTRIAL ARTS TEACHER OR W HO HAVE WORKED W ITH HIM IN THE MANY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES W ITH WHICH HE IS INVOLVED. APPRE- CIATE THE IRREPLACEABLE GIFT HE BESTOWS ... FRIENDSHIP. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1969 Congratulations to one of our finest graduating classes in Mattituck’s illustrious history. You have held high the banner of tradition while at the same time adjusting extremely well in our changing world. New demands and requirements of our society were met in a fearless and head-on fashion. Your experiences and accomplishments at Mattituck High School will stand you well as you face the challenges of our world today. To the graduates of 1969 go the sincere hopes of your parents and the teaching staff in helping to make the world a better place in which to live. Your respect for the individual as well as the rights of society are well founded in the democratic principles which were formed during your school career. May you go on to greater heights in fostering the lofty ideals which so rightfully belong to those who have earned the honor of graduating this year. 4 MR. VERNON STRL'B, Guidance Director You can turn any corner, glance down any corridor and find our friend. Mr. Strub. There is no problem too small for him to listen quietly and diagnose the trouble. If he does not have the solution you always walk away with the feeling that there is someone who cares! His per- sonality reaches into the heart of each student. To know Mr. Strub is to love and respect him as a friend. MR. ROLAND SHERWOOD, Assistant Principal During his years as assistant principal, Mr. Sherwood has developed a deep respect for the traditions that have made Mattituck outstanding in education ... he is deter- mined that these traditions should be pre- served and extended. His alert and sympa- thetic interest in the students and his loyalty and devotion to duty hold much promise for the future of Mattituck High. THE SCHOOL SECRETARIES: (L to R Virginia Haas, Florence Pavlak, Madeline Haas, Mary Burns. MR. STRUB CUSTODIANS: First Row L to R: V. Grabowski, H. Charkow. Second Row: J. Haas, E. Adams. H. Hub- bard, A. Sterling. J. Bochan. School Services Promoting the primary duties of the school is the most important job of the staff which includes the custodians, cafeteria workers, and ochool monitors. The school custodians maintain the facilities of the school. By far the “most popular men and women on campus,” the student body holds them in high esteem for their unselfish devotion to 1HS and its student body. Dances, pep rallies, assemblies, games —these are but a few of the activities that involve the services of this untiring and patient staff, who have pul first above all things the school and the people within it. Through careful planning, the cafeteria manager and her helpers provide whole- some, nourishing food for students and school personnel. They prepare meals of varied menus for the week, meeting all the requirements of good nutrition. The school monitors have lifted a load of annoying tasks from the backs of the class- room teachers. They maintain discipline in the halls, supervise the cafeteria at meal- times, and see to it that students are safely aboard the busses. For their services the teachers and student body are most appre- ciative. CAFETERIA STAFF: I. to R: Barker. L. Wells. V. Cortese, I. Cox. J. SCHOOL MONITORS: (L to R) L. Milowski, J. Tuthill, L. Nine. H. Staron. 6 SENIORS leadership is needed to guide and direct the class activities. Bruce Bullock, our competent and industrious president has continually set a good example for us to follow. Ronald Bullock, our vice president, has contributed much to our success through his hard work and support in ail our class projects. Susan Vail has uniquely fulfilled her job as secretary by combining the qualities of neatness and dependability in keeping the records of our class meetings and correspondence. Last, but by all means not the least, Mr. Krudop and Mr. Brauner, our advisors, who have guided us this past year and to whom our most sincere appreciation is extended. MATTITUCK HIGH SCHOOL JR-SR pm MARCH 29. � 0 Our Junior-Senior Play, My Sister Eileen, was a complete success. Based on stories by Ruth McKenney. our comedy recounted the adventures of two sisters during a year encompassed by the signing of a lease on a Greenwich Village basement apartment, its eventual evacuation, and some surprising adventures of the girls. We found My Sister Eileen an engaging and a heartwarming play. Mr. Bruno Brauner was our director, Mr. Robert Fisher our stage constructor ... the Class of ’69 loves both of you. Thanks!

These courses provide training and instruction for talented stu- dents. In each of the areas stu- dents acquire the ability to per- form, both in a group and in- dividually. Emphasis is contin- ually placed on the development of talent and skills necessary for self experiment. “The Chorus explodes with harmony “A Thousand Stars in the “Weep for Jamie Varieties 'What Color is God’s Skin? “ ‘The Rockettes' ... always a rare treat.” Mark Twain” “Night shirt duo out” way. Cheerleaders “Go, Tuckers!”, bounces off the walls of the gymnasium at MHS as the varsity cheerleaders, C. Koehler, S. Ficner, B. Liebeknecht, S. Vail, K. Phillips, and M. Hines lead the student body during the basketball pep assemblies. These young people embody the spirit of the school with their enthusiasm, their yells, and their leadership of the student body during pep assemblies, basketball and soccer games. Chosen by competition, Mattituck’s cheer- leaders demonstrate the Tucker s friendly spirit at halftime by going to the opponent’s side and leading them in a cheer. Photo hy NrwMlav gr.

Sign up with the Foreign Language Club and you will be in Europe ... visiting shrines, eating at fancy spots, going to theater ... all of this without leaving Mattituck. This is the purpose of the group ... to make the study of foreign languages interesting and alive. Future Nurses Club So you think you would like to be u teacher? Well, then join the club and get your feet wet. The group assists teachers in their classroom activ- ities ... observes and discusses the techniques of instruction that are used by their subject teachers and colleges as to their educational specialization. Good citizenship and excellence in studies is the catch-word of this club. The Future Nurses Club has been with us for more than a decade. Their work ties in closely with the American Ked Cross and the Greenport and Riverhead hospitals. The group now numbers eighteen girls who enjoy the responsibility and working atmosphere found in a nursing career. Student Council The Student Council is made up of students elected from the student body to serve as an example of democracy. Each home room elects a student to rep- resent them in all matters that concern the entire school. Officers of the Council attend state and local workshops so as to coordinate their activities with the neighboring schools and to “keep on their toes” to bring MHS an up-to-date and active organiza- tion. Drama Club The Drama Club is the most recent addition to our campus organizations. Its membership is restricted to those who have a keen interest in acting and are willing to take criticism. All members are carefully screened when trying out for Par,s n lwo or l ree produc- tions presented each year. The actors learn not to expect applause ... their aim is excellence. Forensic Club Do you like to debate? Do you like to banter words ... fight over politics ... argue new thoughts? The place for you is in the Forensic Club. This group takes excursions to conventions, to mock politi- cal campaigns and to any place where the “political fur is flying ’ But ... if you plan to join you had better be active or you will be bowled under by the excitement of the group. Productions? Not a sin- gle one could have been presented without the cooperation of this crew. They build the stage sets ... gather props ... work hand and hand with the di- rector ... and in the final presentation man- age the flood lights ... the “spots’ and the cur- tain. Art Club The Art Club endeavors to furnish for its members an atmos- phere conducive to the creation of many art forms including oil painting and ceramics. Many of the posters proclaiming coming events and decorations on the bulletin boards may be credited to the Art Club. Office Service Squad The OSS is a school service group whose pur- pose is to aid teachers and administrators with their duties. They staff the main office ... act as runners ... distribute mail through the school ... and are the pleasant messengers who smile their way through the halls in search of a teacher, a custodian, or a student. 41 Lorrie Kcwin, Editor of the Reflector, was truly a “working editor.” No phase of production was beneath her position. Layout, photography, ads, were a major concern. The assessment of her spon- sor? ... “She was one of the best.” “A SMALL STAFF hut an excellent one, meets in the library to discuss the last phases of the 69 production.” Reflector Captures The Year's Highlights With triplicates and rough drafts piled on every available desk-top and pictures and snatches of copy peeping out from among them, the work of the annual goes on. TIME, PATIENCE, WORK. AND LOADS OF PERSEVERANCE ... these are the qualities the staff needs to meet that ever-threatening deadline. Through hours of planning, picture-taking, cropping, copy-writing, and checking, staff members piece together the history of the year involving each individual in the school. The efforts of the Reflector Staff are rewarded when the fruits of their labors are presented to you ... the student body. THE STAFF Lorraine Kewin ... Editor Holly Addy .. . Ass’t Editor Norman Reilly ... Photographer Dennis Deerilski ... Bus. Ed. Eric Olsen ... “Man around the __________________office” Sponsor Mr. Ed Clingcn and ‘acc photographer,’ Mr. Really O'Reilly are involved in a cluttered discussion.

Reilly. “Miss Kewin and Miss Addy fix page deadlines and responsibilities for the last shipment ... March 17.” 42 The Mattitalk “Sue Ficner, Editor, is not beyond typing a stencil.” “The Administrative staff makes plans for the next printing.” “The Mattitalk,’’ the voice of Mattituck High, has for thirty-three years expressed the accomplishments, the goals, the ideas, and the good times of the students. Publishing a bi-monthly newspaper is the goal of the Mattitalk staff. The staff, under the direction of Mr. John Pavlak, is composed of students who gather news, write copy, proof read copy, and type. The Mattitalk not only gives to the students a school newspaper, but it also teaches those working on the journal the funda- mentals of good journalism.

This year, MHS welcomed its fifth foreign exchange student, Oxana Cases. The Pan-Ant airliner arrived in New York City on the 7th of January and Oxana began her school term the following day. The Cornelius Nines were her host family. Oxana has joined in many Mattituck activities while studying English. US History and Science. She plans to attend college on her return to Chile.
