X 4 1 l il s X sl f f i WITH KILLFUL FI GER ITH skillful fingers the sculptor molds figures from a soft, pliable mass of clay. Almost as if some latent, intangible magic is manipulating those hands, the artist bestows expressions of life, vitality and intelligence upon the statues. VVhile that sculptor is at work with his clay, another artist also labors, an artist whom we so often take for granted that we do not even recognize his sculptoral abilities. He takes young minds and molds them into maturity, he takes young bodies and makes them strong and healthy, he takes young hearts and souls and makes them in turn gay, serious, appreciative, or properly emotional. As you may have already surmised, the artist to whom we are referring is the high school. Like the first molder, the school is skillful, and after four years, a multitude of its Works are ready for the future. While the artist who works with clay has his statues as lasting monuments of his labor, the school has the yearbook, which keeps its efforts safely preserved in the memory of man. This 7ll'l Il.YIH'f' Clzexf endeavors to follow this custom by inscribing Within its covers the achievements of one Wellington C. lllepham High School in molding mind, body, and soul of its students.

OUR years have gone since three hundred Wee, wide-eyed freshmen timidly entered the untrod halls of the great million-dollar building that is Mep- ham High School. They saw desks uncarved, Hoors unscratched, boards unchalked. Soon they Hlled the halls with their hustling, bustling chatter and made l 6 l Mepham their second home. As these same freshmen, now grown into seniors, leave, they go with pleasant memories of the beautiful architecture that has become a part of their daily lives: the library with its high and spacious Windows, the foyer with bestarred ceiling and trophy case, the auditorium with its huge map and marble columns, the gym with its floor covered by a maze of multicolored lines. Among other things these will long be remembered by this Senior Class of 1941, the first group to spend four full years Within these portals of learning. l7l ,, v. f '1 J- - TOO RFRIE ANKING among the greatest, but rarest, of human virtues is a deep-rooted and sincere desire to be of service to one-'s community. VVe, at Nlepham, are indeed fortunate in having among us an individual possessing that admirable trait. Ungrudg- ingly he performs his tasks, and when necessity demands, willingly goes beyond the limit of his specified duties. To him, hlepham owes its reputation for interior cleanli- ness and exterior beautyg his cooperation makes possible the use of the building for evening or week-end activities. In a humble effort to repay, we, the Class of 1941, re- spectfully dedicate this yearbook to hlr. Fred E. Piper. l8l R SINCERE T THA K lf, THE Class of 1941, take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to llr. Frederick H. Stunt, our class advisor. Throughout the year, his inexhaust- ihle energy, his patience, his wise counsel and judgment, and his ready fund of witti- cisms have served to inspire and encourage all. Time may dim our memories of school, hut it shall never completely erase the fine character that we have all grown to admire and respect.

He was appointed to that position when it was established in 1912, and has been re- appointed every five years since then. lVIr. Mephaiti has been recognized as one of the outstanding educators in New York State, and many of the advances in education in the state and district are credited to him. lt is to his ingenuity that we owe the formation of the central high school district, for under his direction legislation was passed making possible the formation of that type of school district. The credit for popularizing the idea in Nassau County also rests with our namesake. There are at present five central high school districts in the state, three of them under lVIr. lWepham,s jurisdiction in Nassau County. The first to be organized under his supervision was Valley Stream, then Sewanhaka, and finally llc-pham High School in 1934. These central high schools are a splendid monument to hir. lWepham's long service and vision. iI2l jo 34650 W0l'l'lLel'5 . 'l'o these eight members goes a cheer of approval for the splendid work they have done in running so efficiently the complex machine that is lVIepham High School. On the first Monday evening of every month during the school year, a group of men and women may be found seated in the roomy leather chairs around the long table in lllr. Calhoun's office. These are the eight members of the Board of Education and their aides in the act of directing the destinies of the 1200 lylephamites, who many times are already comfortably asleep in their beds as the meetings finally adjourn. Advised by its administrative assistants, the Board of Education decides the more important questions of school policy. lt prepares a budget of suggested expenditures, later to be submitted to the taxpayers for approvalg it awards contracts when supplies are to be ordered or some project is to be completed. These services the Board renders without compensation that We may receive the benefits of a well-planned education. Kean! Wyemderd Bf'll111fn'v A1'I!'I'I'il'd' KIR. BILLINGS lXIR. HYDE IXIR.

XVhether you elect to follow a professional career, to take a position in the fields of trade or husiness, or to enter the service of your country, sound advice recommends the complete utilization of ahility and training that a worthfwhile contrihution to society' may result. Someone has said that success is oo'i perspiration and 1'i inspiration. Although without inspiration the rest is without tlaxor, the victory of success is more than half won when one gains the habit of work. lie it ever rememhered that a good name is rather to he chosen than great riches. The thing that counts for most in the individual, as in the nation, is character-the sum of those qualities which make a man a good man, and a woman a good woman. lfxceptional student leadership was the essential factor in the splendid record established hy the Class of 1941. The enthusiastic ellorts of class leaders LIlli4lC'1l hy an eflicient sponsor and aug- mented hy the cooperative support of class memhers, culminated in a series of remarkahle accom- plislunents-hoth academic and extra-curricular.

After an exceed- ingly close contest, four well-qualified seniors received the duties and responsibilities of hold- ing office. lt was in this election that machine politics first appeared at Mepham three of the succesful candidates having united and waged a joint campaign. Henry O'Shaughnessy was named presidentg june Strangfeld, vice-presidentg Xluriel Brow- nell, secretary, and Carl Fleischer, treasurer. Of the four, only Hank had not spent his entire high school career at lllepham, having migrated from New Jersey. just one look at the broad shoulders and giant height of the ingenious president will sug- gest the fact that his outstanding accomplish- ments vvere on the football field and wrestling 22 mat. Besides being sport-minded, he was speaker of the House of Representatives. a member of the Debate Team, and a member of the Honor Society. The words, vice-president, must have held some strange power over June, for she was not only vice-president of the Senior Class, but also of Skull and Bones and the Honor Society. Her other activities were the band, House of Repre- sentatives and the Library Club. It seems that the band and Honor Society claimed most of the class officers, for hluriel and Carl, too, were active participants in both or- ganizations. Muriel, like June, was in the Li- brary Club, and Carl was on the Hizrvzlrleer. During the year, these oflicers, with lVIr. Stunt advising, performed their duties with dis- patch and efiiciency to the complete satisfaction of the Senior Class. I ANNA ALONGE Glee Cluh 1. IIIARIANNA AIVIENDPI Sewanhaka High School 2, 3.

The garnet and gray grapplers added to their prestige hy two one-sided wins over their inter- state rivals, Teaneck of New jersey and Beth- lehem of Pennsylvania.

Yet, in the season's opener the Klepham team bowed to Far Rockaway by two touchdowns.

The Mepham team, aided by a seasoned crew of seven veterans, should stalk through South Donder, Coach Versocki, Ogden. ssl Shore League opposition to capture a baseball championship for the first time in the career of Coach Stanley Versocki. The team has but two weak spots, one at the keystone sack, and the other in the outer gardens. The team will be headed by two three-year men, Bob Ogden and llill Finnerty. There is an interesting sidelight on this year's baseball campaign. Bob Ogden will be out to gain the prestige of what should have been his brother Bill's only three years back. The Ogden family is championship-minded. When the old South Shore League was still in operation, Bill Ogden had the championship in his hand. Through no fault of his own, his grasp was broken and the blepham team finished second. The following year the League was disorgan- ized. Only this season has it come back into existence. This is llob's last season and with no Ogden successors in view, this seems to be the only time for the Ogden redemption. The team faces its longest schedule, a seven- teen game season, with the best of talent in the opposition. Among the ranking schools the Pirates will meet are Baldwin, Freeport, Se- wanhaka, and Valley Stream, all of whom do not provide league competition. The Pirates must sweep their two-game series in the VVater-bucket League to assure Mepham's possession of that trophy. ac. 4 .... . . . I .. Knrflingl, lfft Io riglll: Dolly, Deuster.

Other highlights of the night were Freshman relays, in which girls hastened to jump in and out of coats that were kept buttoned, or to scramble through other girls' legs, folk dancing, tum- bling, and modern dancing. The most impressive part of the whole pro- gram was the finale. ln this, girls dressed in red, white, and blue, marched under dim lights to the accompaniment of March of the VVooden Soldiers played by the Jolly Rogers. The en- tire show was judged by gym teachers from other high schools, and, according to their de- cision, the Gray 'lieam was the winner by three points. Miss Klary K. Harding, Bliss Helen IQ. Gould, general manager Elaine KlcLachlan. and the team captains Doris Rlillard and God- run aloe, made it a grand evening. The success of the Volleyball Play Day and of Girls' Sports Night can be accredited to the efforts of the Leaders' Club, who, working be- hind the scenes, accomplish many of the details which keep gym classes running efficiently. Some of their tasks include checking attend- ance, preparedness and showers, attending weekly meetings, correcting test papers, prepar- ing charts for time divisions, and doing odd jobs for lliss Harding and ikliss Gould.

The curtains slowly part, revealing a stage set for another National Senior Honor Society in- duction with the significant torch shining brightly. All through the impressive ceremony many persons sit breathlessly awaiting the tense moment when the list of new members is read. Those whose names are called justly deserve the distinction, for membership in this society is the highest honor the school can bestow upon a student. Since selection is based partially on the extra' curricular activities of the members, the Honor Society holds no regular meetings as do other 66 school clubs. It is an organization devoted solely to the recognition of worthy students. its main duties are the selection of new members and the preparation for inductions. Annually the members, old and new, enjoy a banquet, usually held in one of the New York hotels. The staging of two successful inductions this year must be accredited to the tireless efforts of Miss Felice Gunther, the present sponsor. An informal discussion of the origin and aims of the National Honor Society was the main feature of the December induction while the April pro- gram was of a patriotic nature, bringing an ap- propriate climax to Career Day. l L. gt, ,, - . . 11 5 fbi' YP K , tb .740 Miceriio! fAe 3600!

This mixed group of seventy-live voices presents an annual Christmas program of both sacred and secular music. The traditional closing song of this concert is the most beloved of our Christmas hymns, Silent Night, which accompanies the scene of the Nativityxl . The choir's most ambitious undertaking was The Pirates of Penzance, a Gilbert and Sul- livan operetta, the first full-length production ever attempted by the organization. An elab- orate setting and gay costumes helped tb make it one of the most memorable events of the year for Mepham High School.

During Klay, the annual spring concert was given in which the choir, in collaboration with the bands and glee clubs took part. This per- formance consisted of various types of music, both light and serious. Like other clubs the Choir elects officers. Those selected for this year were: president, VVilliam Rowleyg vice-president, Elsie Schlic- terg secretary, Lorraine lllartin.

Finally it has even spread its rays to the system of awarding varsity letters. For many years it has heen the custom in colleges and high schools alike that only memhers of athletic groups lie recipients of letters. ln hlepham, this system has now heen revised so that other activities, such as: the fglll'l'Illlt'4'l', the 7'l'!'ll.N'Ill'l' Cheri, de- hating, cheerleading, instrumental and vocal music as well as foothall, wrestling, cross-coun- try, haskethall, track. and girls' athletics may he honored with varsity hI's. Ut course if these letters were distributed inf discriminately, they would immediately lose all their significance. Therefore, if the award is to distinguish only persons who have made a real contrihution to the school, the standards and 7 ware! Sydfem qualifications must he equally high for athletic and non-athletic organizations. No detail has heen overlooked in the making of the letters themselves. Some are garnet with gray trimming while others are gray with gar- net trimming. Somewhat like the shields used hy knights of old, these letters hear the insignias of the activities for which they are awarded. For example, a lflI1'4'lllIf'l'I' letter hears an ink pot with a long quill in it, while a foothall let- ter naturally carries a small foothall. ln order to present the letters to the qualified students, a Varsity M Banquet was held last year on June li. From now on, the Varsity Nl Banquet will he a regular feature of Nlephanfs school year, as well as the 'llNl's themselves, June 24, 1940 Dear Diary, just a short while ago we arrived home, kicked off our shoes, and dropped weary and surfeited with joy on our beds. How hard it's raining, but in spite of the angry storm clouds, everyone had a dance-happy time. Speaking of rain reminds us of how the decoration commit- tee, headed by Walter Kast and Anabel Hahn, gathered, not lilacs, but reeds in the rain this afternoon. The reeds were balanced percariously on the back of hir. Versocki and hir. hlargi- son's Packard. Their work was not in vain, for the gym was transformed into a South Sea Isle feven if no soft, balmy breezes blewl with its tropical setting and bathing beauties in sarongs profusely decorating the walls. In this atmos- phere young ladies in their summery evening dresses waltzed around with their white-suited escorts. Tonight for the first time we ex- perienced the innovation of the bid and pro- gram. We think Bob Harris was fine as gen- eral chairman as well as his helpers, Hank O'Shaughnessey, Larry Solowey, and Trygve Tholfsen. Right now we sincerely sympathize with the clean-up committee headed by Ralph Sisler, whose fun comes after the Three O'clock Waltz. 78 l 1 Watch the Birdie November 5, 1940 Dear Diary, Gee, it's good to be free, happy, and 21-O0pS -we made a slip. We aren't 21 yet. lt must be the effect of the Who-for-President-Hop we went to last night. The oldsters have nothing on us, for at the dance we voted for president, even if it was only a straw vote. The gym looked very political with huge banners and pic- tures, some of Willkie, some of Roosevelt, smil- ing down on the dancers. There was much ac- tivity in gathering these pictures from the vari- ous election headquarters. Rumors have been floating around that the Solowey clan was not entirely aboveboard in securing the posters, but of course they're not true. The east entrance of the gym was for the Rooseveltites and the west end for the Willkieites. We refrain from saying which end we used. General chairman Bill Rogers, Larry Solowey, chairman of deco- rations, Marion.Belwood, in charge of refresh- ments, Hank O'Shaughnessy, head of the chap- eron committee, and Fred Weinblatt of the clean-up department with all their helpers made it a swell dance. l one ,gf Fill 'em up, Slug: you'll sell morel' Friday, November 29, 1940 Dear Diary, We received quite a thrill tonight when we saw our classmates present Clifford Goldsmith's What a Life to standing room only. It was fun to see Henry Aldrich come to life in Bob Harris and take time out from his difficulties with the school officials to make love to Barbara fMuriel Brownell to usl. We hear that Bob isn't a bad Henry Aldrich even when he's out of character. Coles Doty played that villain, George Bigelow, perpetual enemy and rival of Henry Aldrich. llflr. Bradley, briskly portrayed by Trygve Tholfsen, was forced to deal with cribbing on an exam, mother trouble, and the theft of several band instruments, an act which sent Miss lNIarilyn Weinmann Wheeler into a frenzy. Now we know what Mr. Calhoun has to put up with. On the whole it was a swell sliow, and lyliss Barry and lVIiss Adams are to be congratulated. 79 January 24, 1941 Dear Diary, It seems fated by the gods that bad weather should accompany a senior dance. Just six months ago tonight we had the Junior Prom, and it rained cats and dogs then just as it rained tonight, but once we were in the gym, we forgot our wet feet and joined in the fun. The Gay Nineties style prevailed. We had a lot of fun keeping Slug lWcOja giggling as she tended the bar. Over on the north side of the gym was the local jail very strongly made of paper, and on another side was the Camp Avenue trolley with its bemoustached conductor. Clifford Reims did a swell job in drawing that old-time vehicle. Gibson gals waltzed around on the walls among the ads for hair-restorers and moustache dyes. The dance was engineered by co-chairmen lllarion Belwood and Ralph Sisler with the as- sistance of Larry Solowey, Dick Sweeney, Emily Oja, and Muriel Brownell, and because of their efforts we all feel like going back to the days of bustles, handle-bar moustaches, and high collars. nf- eu av , Tv, M.

Tel: Freeport 4816 53 Merrick Ave., Merrick M ODI? Wafer Eli-CLet The Best Water Carrier of 1941 -that seems to be the title for which the Pirate ath- letes of 1941 were striving. The title is not as strange as it may seem, for the championship of the Water-bucket league may grow into a coveted award. This new interest was stimulated by Coach Frank Gardner of Nlepham among the three central high schools, Sewanhaka, Valley Stream, and lWepham. Like Michigan University's A'Little Brown Jug, this Water-bucket with nothing in dollar and cents value may amount to a lot for sentimental and traditional reasons. The new idea is a simple one. For each athletic victory gained by one of these high schools at the expense of the other, one point is awarded. At the end of the athletic year, the school with the greatest number of points receives the Water-bucket for the coming year. The Pirates, with tive points, seemed the most likely to gain possession of the Water- bucket for the year. The slogan for athletic events will be the cry, Every win is a drop in the Bucket. Seems silly-all this fuss for a water bucket, but as the years pass and this bucket becomes shabby and dented, its value will be that much greater. Like Coach Gardner's well-known brown hat, it will have gone through the wars, having been battered from the football bench to the wrestling matg however, it will be a vital factor at any athletic event. The Water-bucket, we hope, will find a place in the Mephaxn display of trophies, sym- holizing good character and clean sportsman- ship. l36l Air Bellmore's Oldest Business E SCHNEIDER 6 SON THE ROYAL SCARLET STORE CE Bellmore, L.

At regular intervals during the school year, these attractive speci- mens talce to the background as exhibits from other departments, such as, science, art, lan- guage, health, industrial arts, and home eco- nomics, step to the foreground. The origin of this museum goes back to the year 1937 A.D. when the faculty members under the direction of lllr. Jay Fox, naturalist of Seaford, established it. The first exhibits in- cluded contributions of fossils and minerals from the Nassau Collegiate Center and those of animal life from lirfr. Fox. ln its early stages, it was lllr. Francis Almstead who managed this school feature, but its direction is now a duty of lklr. John Carr.

Just as we suspected, he's going to the book-candy room to procure a box of candy. While he's waiting, we may as well listen to Jurgen Worthing and Donn Weller as candy room auctioneers: Eighteen, nineteen, twenty. There you are, one full box. Next. Sorry, no peanuts left. How about a peanut chew fresh in today? Okay, where's your receipt? Why not find Carl Fleischer or Mr. Davis, and straighten it out? They keep the records. Next. Oh, hello there, Johnny. Hi, how about a box of candy ? Sure, coming right up. Say, who's sold the most boxes so far ? l'Well as of today, April IO, Jeanette Pelle- tier has sold the most with a score of 93 and Jean Wilgus is a close second. Whew, what a lot! Hope I can sell at least half that number. Well so long! There he goes, let's hurry and catch up with him. Down the hall, up the stairs. Ah, there's a likely prospect. Go to it, Johnny! Buy some candy? It's delicious, nutritious, vitamin-filled, and guaranteed not to give you a toothache in your sweet tooth. With that line, he's sure to make a sale, and he does! As we follow, he catches students and teachers alike. Then he hurries out to the ath- letic field to sell renewed nourishment to the athletes. Finally we see him treading his way home with his box empty of candy but partly filled with a dollar for the Senior Class. So long, Johnny, see you tomorrow at the game! l CIW MAI!

Perhaps that ex- plains the well-beaten path leading to Room 216, wherein resides the most ingenious set of mouse traps ever 'devised by man. One of the most interesting of the set is the Super Special of the Math Department's latest extra-curricular enterprise, Mouse Trapping, Inc. The technical name of this trap is, A line perpendicular to each of two intersecting lines, at the point of intersection, is perpendicular to the plane. fSee Mr. Stunt, or any solid geometry student for an explanation.l The plane is made of a piece of 5 x 4 screen- ing. The points are connected with fine strands of Toledo steel, while the line consists of a slender dowel of California redwood. The trap is operated by attaching a heavy rubber band to each end of the line, and thence to the Hoor and ceiling of the room containing a mouse. The unsuspecting mouse crawls up the rubber band, and inserts his head inside two of the steel point- connecters to nibble at a piece of cheese placed there. What he doesn't know is that the cheese is connected to the rubber. As the rodent eats away the bait, he breaks the rubber band, the trap shoots upward, and he is hung by the neck until dead. For further information concerning this model and any others in the set, please see Mr. Stunt in Room 216, or consult the standard catalog of lVIouse Trapping, lnc., a copy of which will soon be placed in our library.
