It is intended, however, to symbolize more than that. The doors of Mepham, opening to the freshman, unfold for him new horizons and interests. First, the neophyte discovers the opportunities present in the school itself. He takes the first steps in choosing a vocation and selects courses to prepare for it. Extracurricular activities offer recreation and supplement his studies. The school also undertakes to help furnish the moral armor with which the American citizen must gird himself today. The student learns enthusiastically to endorse those ideals which we regard as the American way of life, for they alone ensure the continued progress of our country in the fields of business, of politics, and of international relations. The youth begins to appreciate the unusual opportunities which arc his simply because he lives here, in this spot, this community, these villages. Increasingly, within the boundaries of Long Island, little further than his doorstep, a whole col- ony of commerce and industry is growing. From foundries to printing plants, from aircraft manufacturing to department stores, the Island has metamorphosed from a suburban residential district into a commercial center as well. In seeking educational institutions he finds that colleges and technical schools flourish on Long Island as well as in the city. Indeed, many industries have established their own training facilities. Business men are cooperating with schoolmen to inform the student of the qualifications they require and to answer his questions about the nature of the work. He will discover that Mepham’s students who have gone before him have earned respect for the school in leading institutions of learning as well as in great business organizations. Mepham also increases the student’s awareness of our culture. He learns that a wide range of cultural institutions are available to him ranging from places of worship to museums, playgrounds, parks, beaches, theaters and musical festivals. The boy or girl at Mepham, then, enters the door to an expanding world, with opportunities offered in few places elsewhere. Page four 2b J, ication The freshman entering Mepham soon learns that the high school confers the ultimate in recognition upon those students who have done most to enrich the lives of the members of the school community. This honor is membership in the local chapter of the National Honor Society. The ceremony of the induction of new members into the Society, which is a solemn and impressive one, marks the occasion when laurels are awarded those who have served the school. At this time gold pins and Varsity M’s arc awarded the individuals selected for membership. The Honor Society has adopted four cardinal principles as its guide. The exacting standard used in judging if students have achieved these goals explains why student bodies, administrators and communities throughout the nation hold this organization in high prestige. The first of the objectives is character. A person’s honesty, trustworthiness, selflessness and dependability fall into this category. Scholarship is next. This applies the gauge of effort and intel- ligence by requiring the aspirant to rank at least in the upper third of his class. Leadership follows. Implicit in this requirement is the inspiring of confidence in fellow-students, the ability to obey as well as to guide others. Finally, the principle of service to Mepham weights heavily. The extent and quality of participation in the clubs, publications, musical organizations, and the sports activities of the school are involved in determining this objective. Increasingly the Honor Society plays a role in that vital function of the school which is concerned with citizenship. The members of the Honor Society offer a daily, living example of the American creed so that we may appreciate our American principles and ideals and may unhesitatingly weigh them against foreign ideologies. The class of 1953, then, dedicates this volume to a force which is working to mold young America and which has played a large part in advancing the standards of Mepham. We salute the Honor Society. A freshman witnesses her first Honor Society induction. Page five To the entering freshman the teachers of Mepham offer the hand of friendly aid. Our principal makes it a point to acquaint himself with each student and a similar concern pervades the entire staff. BOARD OF EDUCATION—Standin : Mr. Theodore B. Wolf, Mr. Frank W. McCarthy, Mr. Reid A. Curtis, Mr. J. Henry Buterweek. Sitting: Mr. Charles A. Reinhard; Mr. William A. Clukics; Vice-President, Mr. John B. King: President, Mr. Jacob Gunther. The members of our Board of Education have an important job. Not only are they concerned with the education of our young people, but their success in solving the problems they meet confirms the value of our local self-government. Therein Americans gain the skills and experience that make democracy work in larger scenes. BOARD OFFICERS—Mrs. Violet Ridky, District Clerk; Mrs. Evelyn Baldwin, Treasurer; Mr. Bernard Morris, Counsel. In addition to the issues that arise in the course of developing policy for a modern high school, our Board has had to struggle with the ever-increasing pressure of rising cost, of scarcity of competent personnel and material. The conclusion of the war also brought an upsurge in the population of our communities. The Board acted promptly to meet the threat of an overcrowded school system and developed a comprehensive program for expansion. Part of this plan calls for the building of two Junior High Schools and it is with the bringing into being of this project that the Board has been greatly concerned. There have resulted almost limitless demands upon their time and these they have met, giving unstintingly of their efforts and hours. These added cares have not subtracted from the attention given existing facilities. For instance, this year the high school foyer has been redecorated, two handsome trophy cases have been added, and there has been a continuing program of painting. The Board also stands responsible for our progressing standards of academic excellence. We at Mcpham wish these unselfish people to realize that the students appreciate their efforts. Page eight MR. SANFORD H. CALHOUN From its beginning in 1935 our school has been under the leadership of Mr. Calhoun as supervising principal. Its solid accomplishments have gained the respect of the community, the state, and institutions of higher learning. These have resulted in good part from the untiring efforts of our principal who has encouraged and attended virtually every school function. Mr. Calhoun has cooperated fully with the Board in attacking the problem of increased enrollment and has assumed a full share of the burden of planning the additional buildings and supervising the innumerable details attendant upon the project. Our principal was born and attended high school in Troy, New York. Mr. Calhoun was particularly interested in baseball, basketball and music. He earned his B.S. degree at St. Lawrence University and his M.A. at Columbia University. Except for the war years, when he served as Captain in the United States Army Air Forces, Mr. Calhoun has filled the position of supervising principal over and beyond the call of duty. Mr. Hallenbcck, our assistant principal, who received his B.A. from St. Lawrence University and later his M.A. from Columbia University, attends to the intricate details of administering a modern high school. He acted as principal during Mr. Calhoun’s absence for military service, maintaining the high standards of the school during the trying war years. Mr. Hallenbeck’s hobby is bowling and, we suspect, making even more perfect the school’s numerous records and accounts. MR. EUGENE E.

Page fifteen Members of the Honor Society set an example of service, scholarship, leadership and character to the lower classmen as they orient themselves to the high school. Unobtrusively, quietly, yet effectively, this friend of the Senior Class has guided it through a year in which all records for attendance at class events, all figures for sales on behalf of the class funds have been exceeded. The class and its adviser started off at a fast pace, indicating what whole-hearted cooperation can do, by sponsoring a Junior Prom that was attended by more students than any similar event in the school’s history. In the fall, the class took up where it left off with a brilliantly arranged Harvest Moon Ball. The decorations, program and publicity campaign all were supervised by Mr. Gruberg and they were outstanding. Our adviser and his willing helpers appeared with a refreshment stand at the football games and at various athletic events, hawking, pro maior gloria the Senior Class, pop, hot dogs and jaw-breakers. The year’s formal dances culminated in the sparkling Snow Ball where our senior adviser was content to stand smiling in the background while the king and queen were crowned on the glittering snow throne. As the members of this class depart they give a backward glance, a smile and a wave of the hand to their counsellor, friend and at times, taskmaster, who gave so unstintingly of his time, his effort and his inspiration to make this senior year an outstanding success. Page eighteen CLASS OFFICERS—Top: Thomas Brady, President; Soma Baldwin, Secrerary; Bottom: William Hawthorne, Vice-president; Ann Duffy, Treasurer. Off; tcerd Tom Brady, our class president, bears modestly the honors which measure his contribution to the school. We recognize him as a letter winner in football, wrestling, and track who also found time to be Speaker of the House of Representatives and to participate in all class activities. Bill Hawthorne’s role as vice-president called for much in the way of unheralded work, cheerfully done. Bill’s academic record is outstanding. In addition he was a member of our undefeated varsity football team, of our track squad and served as President of the Honor Society. Class Secretary, Soma Baldwin, has interests that are diverse, ranging from membership in the Honor Society, officer of the Coaches Club, cocaptain of the Garnet team, news editor of the Buccaneer, to Vice-President of the Library, to mention but a few. To her job of Secretary she gave conscientious perseverance. Pert Ann Duffy brought a bright smile to a job that is made up of endless details. Ann participated in a host of school groups. The outstanding financial success of our class activities are a tribute to her combination of personality and efficiency. Page nineteen ADAMS ALVAREZ ALHE1M ANDERSON, G. AKLEY ANDERSON, M.

In addition to such traditional affairs as the Junior Prom, the Harvest Moon Ball, the Senior Play, the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance and the Senior Prom or Snow Ball, the Committee spon- sored an informal record dance, the Gridiron Hop. This drew over 500 students and may be added to the list of regular events. The Senior Sales Committee filled the class treasury by selling hot dogs, soda, coffee and candy at athletic events.

Sitting: Wright, Peregrine, Baldwin, Reinhard, Ringel, Butterweek, Critchlcy, Schlauthabcr, Paladino, Schneider, Perry. A quiet hush falls as the humming of the choir is heard. Each hopeful student sits breathlessly at the edge of his seat wishing he will hear his name called. This suspense marks each of the Honor Society inductions, held twice yearly. Bill Hawthorne, President: Soma Baldwin, Secretary; Marie Sparnecht, Treasurer; Bill Swenson, Vice-President. Membership in this organization marks the highest honor bestowed upon a Mepham student and before he is invited to join he must fulfill certain qualifications. Second half Juniors and all Seniors in the upper third of their class are eligible—but grades are not enough. At a joint meeting the Honor Society members and the Executive Committee of the Faculty consider those people who have best fulfilled the Society’s four cardinal objectives of Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service for election into the Society. Each new member receives, upon induction, a gold pin and Varsity M award, plus the honor and the responsibilities that are bestowed with membership. Each year it is the Honor Society which introduces the freshmen to extra-curricular activities by means of an original play. They also distribute booklets which acquaint the newcomers with their surroundings. Honor Society membership is the ultimate goal which confirms that a student has received the utmost from his stay in high school. Page fifty-six 1 epreSen tativeS This year’s House of Representatives established a school record by selling 1196 G.O. membership cards as the result of an intensive campaign. This featured a play, placards throughout the school and many public address announcements. Representatives engendered interest in the House by reporting regularly to their home rooms House activities and issues currently before it. Representatives served the school in many ways besides representing their fellow-students. They sold milk during the lunch hour and took over the sale of tickets to away football games. This group sponsored a dance on November 21, 1952, in honor of the Cross-Country and Football teams. They put the Red Cross drive over for another record, 25% above the previous year and raised funds for 35 canteen books, cigarettes and life-savers for the veterans at Northport. The Executive Committee, advised by Mr. Yeneralo as sponsor, streamlined many of the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES—Officers: Brady, Muller and Gobctz. meeting procedures. Each member’s seat was indicated by a placard. This facilitated attendance-taking and helped members get acquainted with each other. The buddy system was used, whereby older students made the newer ones feel at home. The House also has reason to feel proud of its intensive study drive, carried on before midterms. A cleverly designed series of posters appeared on clocks, on doors and strategic spots: ”17 days to E Day.” HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES—Third row: White, Wissman, Wolf, Brennan, Gridley, Fass, Hoffman, Hendrickson, Schon-inger, Wright, Silbaugh, McCarthy, Nodland, King, DeFazio, Brucia, Scerbo.

This year it appeared every two weeks and sought to promote the theme of closer school and community relationships. The reporters bring the students news of people through interviews and they strive for behind-the-scenes coverage of school activities. It encourages students to explore poetry, the short story and other forms of creative writing. Mrs. Stern and later the Misses Allen and Nickerson advised with Mr. Cadro supervising printing.

There the Treasure Chest staff rallied to create our yearbook. Picture schedules were drawn, photographs taken and retaken, articles written and edited, ad campaigns planned and executed, yearbook posters drawn and yearbooks sold. Problems rose and with Mr. Jacoby, our adviser’s counsel, were solved—and finally, to press. Here is the yearbook, summary of the school’s activities during one revolution of our terrestrial sphere.

The Art Club affords the opportunity for students enrolled in design courses to pursue special fields of interest. It also welcomes those who pursue hobbies in this field. Under the guidance of Mrs. Gade the members designed posters, made Christmas cards, created cartoons, modeled in clay and decorated the library on various occasions. Specimens of the members’ work were exhibited at the Spring Arts Festival. P. _A. CLL Bill Stern, Red Barber and Mel Allen had to have a start and the Public Address Club affords our future announcing greats their chance. Our commentators have undertaken not only to provide the scores but seek, through a running description, to give the public information about the rules and strategy of the activity involved. Coached by Mr. Yeneralo, the adviser, Fred Koehler, Roger Mansell, Larry Nokes, Nick Wright and Frank McCarthy gradually approached a professional level in their work. They functioned at all athletic events. e __jucjar an The Sugar and Spice Club members cooked, sewed, crocheted, knitted and discussed social graces and behavior at their bi-weekly meetings. The Home Economics room was a most suitable place for these activities and Mrs. Flildreth and Mrs. Schimmel provided inspiration and information for the members in their projects. The club sponsored several parties, among them one at Christmas time, to which each member invited a friend. The guests, partaking of delicacies prepared by the members, agreed that members enjoyed themselves and had also acquired experience valuable in the business of managing a home. Page sixty Se, 'vice Faculty members have learned they can rely upon the accuracy and promptness of the Service Club. They were saved many hours of labor in the preparation of correspondence, class materials and testing forms by the work of this organization. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Klaes the members typed reports, letters and mimeographed tests and notes for the office and the teaching staff. This year the Service Club also cooperated with the Press Club, typing articles for release. President Joan Kwak and her assistant, Pat Baker, scheduled assignments to members. f- re55 When the members of a community are interested in their schools, participate in its activities and support its programs, both community and school system benefit. Our local newspapers play a large part in arousing this interest by bringing the people news of the happenings in their schools. In order to work with these news services and thus better to serve the community, the Mepham Press Club has been formed to act as the school’s public relations agency. Guided by Mr. Alger, their adviser, members kept the public informed about their high school. Granitic -A,-h CLl The Graphic Arts Club offers students of printing the opportunity to become more familiar with the various kinds of machinery under conditions similar to that in the business world. Since in the course of a school year demands arise for many types of printed materials, the members, advised by Mr. Cadro, have occasion to explore a wide variety of techniques. The program for the concerts and plays, the report cards, library cards and the school newspaper, the Buccaneer, bear the stamp of the members’ skill. All these are printed by the Club members.

Page sixty-one Jrenct This year’s sessions of the French Club were particularly interesting because Miss Pearlman, the adviser, returned from a year’s stay in Belgium as an exchange teacher. Her collection of colored slides of Europe added much to the meetings which were conducted entirely in French. Another highlight of the year was a trip to a French restaurant and to a French movie.

The Latin Club makes of that dead language a very live and interesting subject. Members sing in Latin, report on different phases of Roman life and accompanied by their adviser, Mr. Thompson, pay two visits to New York City. Donald Judd and Soma Baldwin served as Consuls, assisted by Sieglinde Dickcn and Rosalind Nelson as Censors. In June the Varsity M winners arc guests of the school at a banquet worthy of a Lucullus. Also, on Fridays during the year, recognition is given those who excel by the tradition of wearing the M. It is possible to earn the letter in a wide variety of activities so that any student knows if he attains the high standards set he may be awarded the M to acknowledge his initiative, interest and cooperation.

Biology Club members take all nature for their province. This they demonstrated in a memorable Assembly program during which the audience gained a great deal of information about subjects as diverse as the human heart, the geology of Long Island and liquid air. Besides work in the laboratory, under the direction of Mrs. Ford, members combined study and pleasure in a series of picnics. BIOLOGY CLUB—Third row: Lange, Lampcrt, Faucrbach, Federmack, Wcchslcr.

To give our students greater proficiency in this most useful of mathematical adjuncts, Mr. Zanchelli meets with advanced students. The members gain proficiency in performing rapidly complicated operations in multiplying, dividing, finding square and cube root, squaring numbers and solving proportions. They learn the slide rule’s application in the sciences. Although this club is a newcomer to Mcpham, it has already proved itself popular and useful. The Spanish Club’s Lorraine Henning, president, rapped meetings to order this term under the supervision of Miss Winheim. On the agenda was a trip to the city and a typically Spanish Christmas Party, where refreshments were served with Spanish courtesy and entertainment was offered by the members.

'Page sixty-four rui V The girls in the Library Club give up one study hall a day and one hour after school every week to work in the library. For their hard work nine senior girls were awarded silver keys. For fun, the girls gave teas and, accompanied by their adviser, Miss Shaver, journeyed to New York City to see the play The King and I.” Early in March, the Library Club gave an Assembly program about some of the books in our library. Officers were Nancy Schneider, President; Soma Baldwin, Vice-President, and Florence Butterweck, Secretary. SUl a on eS The members of Skull and Bones regard themselves as masters in the ancient guild of Players. Accordingly, newcomers must undergo a period of apprenticeship before they are entitled to all the honors and perquisites of the craft. The neophytes receive instruction in the mysteries of makeup, costume and lighting. They must complete one hundred hours of work. This year the dramatic group presented a well-received production of The Rivals” directed by Miss Ramel. Steve Mandel was President; Steve Weisskoff, Vice-President, and Mary Lou Schadt was Secretary-Treasurer. Once that dread creature the Shutterbug bites you, all hope for a normal life is gone. Those afflicted meet every Thursday at four in Room 209 under the tutelage of Mr. Coyle to prepare for a life to be spent in darkrooms, to learn the language of F numbers and to stain their fingers in bromides. Each month members held contests in which their work was publicly exhibited. They also went on a field trip. Thomas DeLong was President; James Paladino, Vice-President, and John Fracchia, Secretary. £ e v c Cbnf artistic CPtATlVk LITERARY POINTING TYPING V BUCQWFR T TOP: Handclsman and Reinhard set up the Treasure Chest display.

The school is thrown open to the community. In the gymnasium the Home Economics students set up a Mepham Fashion Shoppe’ which shows how the students construct dresses from pattern to trimming. The future homemakers also exhibit tempting foods, no small part of whose attractiveness lies in their garniture, the arrangement of the table and its fittings. The boys in the Industrial Arts department display work done in its various branches. They also have on the floor specimen machines in the course of operation by students. Here skill and knowledge gained by Mephamitcs in the Driving Course, in editing the Buccaneer and the Treasure Chest and in producing for the Skull and Bones Dramatic Society are demonstrated. As part of the festival the many music organizations sponsored by Mepham, both in the high school and in the grammar schools, present a program of vocal and instrumental music.

From its first performance at the Mincola Fair to its final participation in the Commencement Exercises, the band is constantly drilling and rehearsing. The Fall Band and Orchestra Concert, the Spring Arts Festival and the Pop Concert will long be remembered as great successes which the band helped make possible. In the spring, this fine organization again gained top honors at the New York State Competition Festival and was well received at the Jones Beach Summer Concert. Besides being outstanding in its concert field, the band made splendid appearances at six football games and in the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Led by Monica Fricdel, the drum majorette, the one hundred players’ precision marching and playing made a fine showing for the Garnet and Gray. Monica, one of the few girls to hold this post as a Junior, did a superb job both leading and twirling. To the Senior and Junior twirlers goes much deserved praise for the exhibitions put on during the football season and on the concert stage. The Senior twirlers included Anita Mueller, Janet Johnston, Eleanor Kirsten, Carol Dorsa, and Judy Mohr, while the Junior twirling group was composed of Judy Clark, Joan Fenney, Jean Magnus, Marguerite Snyder and Frances Waters. SENIOR BAND OFFICERS—Kirsten, Van Rees, Bennett, Tan-turn, Alger, Wiley. DRUM MAJORETTE— Monica Fricdel. To Mr. George Pritchard goes the credit for producing a band of such accomplishments. Several committees were established to assist Chief,” including the Stage Committee of which Robert Bennett and Freeman Bowen were chairmen, the Library Staff, headed by Eleanor Kirsten, Carol Alger and Virginia Van Rees and the Uniform Committee under Kay Powers and Stanley Wiley’s direction. Early in the year, Rob-bert Bennett was elected Band Captain and Barbara Tantum assumed the duties as Secretary. They all performed their tasks well and helped to keep the band operating smoothly and efficiently. SENIOR TWIRLERS—Dorsa, Kirsten, Johnston, Mohr, Mueller.

The traditional Christmas Concert on December 14 has become a part of Mepham. On its two performances that day the 1952-53 Choir held the audience spell-bound with its renditions of secular and sacred Yuletide melodies. Beautiful settings and a moving candlelight processional provided an inspiring atmosphere for these performances. The A Cappella Choir also sang for school assemblies, at Honor Society Inductions and at concerts away from the school. This spring the Choir and its director visited New Paltz Teachers College to perform. For the third year they traveled to Eastern Long Island where heartwarming receptions rewarded them. They displayed their versatility with sacred, secular, negro, folk and popular tunes at Mepham’s Spring Arts Festival and at their own recital on April 17 and 18. They made several outings and also spent two evenings at Christmas-time caroling in our villages. For the fourth consecutive year Mepham’s renowned choir gave a concert in conjunction Page seventy The Choir in a festive Christmas atmosphere. with a university glee club. Choir officers who did a major share in planning and preparing choir activities were: Nick Wright, president; Fred Koehler, manager; Marie Sparnecht, general secretary. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs arc the stepping stones to membership in the Choir. Yearly they attract more members to their thrice weekly meetings under Mr. Alderfcr’s direction. They sang at the Christmas Concert and the Spring Arts Festival so that, together with the Choir, they exhibited the full range of Mepham’s vocal musical achievements.

Our orchestra is gradually developing a reserve of talent in the grade schools. Mr. Davies works with the young musicians in our district schools as a first step toward membership in the Mcpham ensemble. No matter what type of music you enjoy, from graceful waltzes to Dixieland jazz, the Jolly Rogers, Mepham’s own dance band, can supply it. This group provides not only the music for the Pop Concert, but also for the Senior Play, Girls’ Sportsnight and the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

A good little man or a good big man both stand an equal chance of reaching the top in wrestling. Also, it is Coach Gardner’s proud statement that no man has been dropped from the wrestling squad in Mepham history. Our coach started in the sport, as he says, by reading a book and has worked at it until today coaches and players the country over come to him for advice. Mepham has, under his direction, built a record of 110 straight victories and 211 bouts with only one loss. This, according to sports experts, has not been duplicated in the history of wrestling. Some idea of Mr. Gardner may be gained from the fact that he makes no secret of his methods, invites our opponents to training sessions and holds clinics for other schools. This year witnessed our second hundred victories, celebrated in the Second Century meet. Fittingly enough, on this occasion we defeated Baldwin 20 to 13, the team which ended our first string of victories at 101. We scored important victories in the South Shore Athletic League Tournament and in the Section 8 Wrestling Tournament. Munnich took the championship in the 106 pound class, with Deppe ruling the 115 pound. Nodland clinched the 123 pound group with a pin, while Watts, 136, Beato, 141, Zagarino, 148, and Harrell, 168, were victors. Brady, heavyweight, wrote a suitable finale with a pin.

Undefeated for the second time in the last three years, Mepham’s rugged football machine steam-rolled all opponents and finished first in Triple A ranks. Operating out of a single wing formation, Coach Nicholas Sabetto’s forces ground out decisive victories over such noteworthy opposition as Baldwin, Freeport, Hempstead, and Lawrence while many members of the championship squad were singled out for special recognition. Bill Sandie, sensational sophomore fullback, was selected for the Daily News All Star Team while other players, Al Henery, halfback; Dan Nickla, quarterback; Ray Frisch and Bob Tall-gren, ends; guard, Jerry Harrell; and tackle, Thomas Brady, also received all-scholastic awards. However, rather than give credit to individual performers for the team’s success, Coach Sabetto attributed Mepham’s sterling record to the consistency of the team as a whole. 3ootU( Rounding out the fleetfooted backfield termed by Mr. Sabetto the best in Mepham’s history was halfback, Bill Hawthorne, while other steady players were Jack Hingher and Ken Hesse. Others doing a lion’s share of the work on the line were Frank Gobetz, Ben Townend, Pat Zagarino, Jerry Burke, William Peters and Jack McCarthy. Opposing coaches generally touted the Pirates as the best team on Long Island, and it was with no surprise that Mepham was awarded the Rutgers Cup which gave them the mythical Nassau County championship. With stalwarts Bill Sandie, Jack McCarthy, and Frank Gobetz returning to form the nucleus of next year’s squad, Mr. Sabetto conservatively concedes Mepham is well equipped to continue on its path to gridiron glory. ALL-SCHOLASTIC SLLLCTIONS—Second row: Henery, Mr. Sabetto, Harrell. First row: Burke, Frisch, Brady, Tallgrcn. Willis Trainor broad jumping. William Hawthorne gets set. JracL Mepham’s track squad, consistently the team to beat” on Long Island, once again turned in an outstanding performance. The cindermen added to an unbroken record of 37 dual and triangular meets, two Long Island Championships, two Nassau County Championships, and four South Shore Athletic League Championships in the past four years! This year saw the return of many competent veterans, and hopes were high for the best season in Mepham’s history. Among the returning let-termen were Long Island champion quarter-miler Bob Raacke, Kevin O’Sullivan, second best half-miler on the Island last year, hurdler Don Lyons, who won the Section I Championship as a sophomore in ’52, and Willis Trainor, holder of Mepham’s broad jump record. Among the stars lost by graduation were Ray O’Shaughncssy, South Shore discus champ, Larry Levinsky, South Shore 100 yard dash champ, and Lloyd Martin, George Ball, and Ken Hesse, top Mcphamites in the shot put, mile run and 220 yard dash, respectively. The team shaped up especially strong in the field events this season. We had a powerful 1-2-3 punch in the high jump in seniors Bob Knapp and Fred Meyer and sophomore John Harmcling. The same situation existed in the broad jump with Bill Hawthorne and Al Ristori backing up Willis Trainor. Tom Brady and Spike” Condon shared shot put honors, while Bob Tallgren was our top man in the discus. In the pole vault our best competitors were Jack Hingher, Bob Gampp and Willis Traynor. Leading our milers this year were Bob Wilmott and Bruce DeFreitas. Behind O’Sullivan in the half-mile was Bob Brown while Clem Hoovler and Raacke represented us in the quarter-mile run. In the hurdles our mainstay was Don Lyons. Willis Trainor, Bill Hawthorne and Mike Beato were our best sprinters this year and our 880 yard relay team consisted of Raacke, Beato, Hawthorne and Trainor. Coach Sabetto has several secrets of success— none of them very secret. He emphasizes intensive training. Mepham trackmen are always in excellent condition when they compete and in this sport this often spells the difference. Every individual receives equal attention from coach, no matter what his ability, in order to develop his physical potential to the utmost. Visual aids are used to demonstrate track techniques such as sprinting, hurdling, pole vaulting and throwing the discus.

Lfeashetbci If Mepham’s basketball squad, defending champion of the South Shore Athletic League, again smashed its way to one of the most successful records in the history of the school. The well-balanced team was led by six-foot-three center Bob Tallgren and Ray Frisch. Frisch and Tallgrcn scored heavily and controlled the back-boards. Sharpshooter Roger Marino, speedy Gus Sjoholm and Don Brown, all letter-winners, held over from last year’s championship squad, completed the first team. Bob Trapani, Ronald Lindblom, Jack Flingher, Fred Meyer and Bob Burness formed a reserve of exceptional strength, helping the Bucs compile a commendable record of 1} triumphs opposed to only five defeats. The Pirates opened the season with five consecutive victories before dropping an unexpected 49-41 decision to Hempstead. Then the cagers won three straight before being upset by Lawrence in a 66-60 thriller which the Bucs later reversed. Hempstead verified its first success by defeating us 58-52, leading us all the way. This was the last black mark against our high-scoring team, which notched 81 points against Freeport to establish a new school record for points scored in one game. Coach Stanley Versocki, affectionately called Uncle Gus” by his boys, whom he practically adopts into his family, inspired the team to great heights. His intensive and vigorous training pro- Coach Versocki teaching fundamentals.

Mr. Versocki operates under the principle that participation in sports can be so guided that it instills a love of fair play, of clean living and cooperation with one’s team mates. At season’s end Mepham finished a creditable third to Hempstead in Section One of the South Shore Athletic League.

With the approach of Spring, the managers shook the mothballs out of the baseball uniforms and the season was officially underway. The thud of the fast ball hitting the catchers’ mitt and the crash of the bat against the horse-hide brought many a smile to the coaches’ faces as the players rounded into form. This year’s baseball team was bolstered by the return of many letter-winners, one of whom was second baseman Gus Sjoholm, chosen as all-Scholastic last year. Two others also chosen as Coach Lurcl, Sjoholm, Vale and Watts meet to plan baseball strategy. all-Scholastic last year, pitcher Bob Tritsch and outfielder Bruce Robbins, have graduated. Bob Tritsch was also selected as all-Metropolitan. The pitching department this year featured Bruce Watts, Bill Sandic and Joel Goldstein. The handling of this fine group of hurlers was ably taken care of by veteran receiver Ronnie Vale and Ben Brucia. The rest of the infield consisted of Don Brown, first base, Gus Sjoholm, second base, Ray Frisch, third base, and Andy Scerbo at short. The outfield was patrolled by Al Hcncry, Roger Marino, Al Peterson, Dan Nickla and Jerry Harrell. This year the team played a weekly J game series with each of the following schools: Cham-inade, Lawrence, Sewanhaka, Hempstead, Central, Freeport and Baldwin. This type of schedule adopted several years ago has been very well received by the fans, coaches and players alike. Last year the Bucs wound up with a 13-5 record and were in serious contention for league honors right down to the final game. With the veterans returning from this fine squad and several capable new additions to the team, together with the excellent coaching of Mr. Lurel, the outlook for the 1953 baseball season was very good.

Cro County This year our harriers swept past Hempstead, Maiverne, Central, Lawrence, Baldwin, Freeport, Southside and Great Neck to finish second to Sewanhaka and third in the S. S. A. L. meet. The team was paced in the rugged, overland grind, always over two miles, by Kevin O’Sullivan. This year he was the first to cross the finish line in all but one dual or triangular race, usually followed by Bob Wilmott and Bob Brown. Kevin also finished sixth in the Long Island Sectional Championships and was a respectable eleventh at West Point, in the New York State competition, helping Long Island retain possession of the State title. Following close behind were other team stalwarts Bob Raacke, Roger Mansell, Bruce De-Freitas, Bob Hopper, Art Taulbcr, Jerry Wciscn-seel and Lee Mann. With more than half of these, including several lettermen, returning next year along with many other promising runners, the prospects for the future look good. Coach Fjeldal has brought to Mepham in this, his first year, an enthusiasm that is contagious. The team members agree that he practices what he preaches about conditioning, setting an example for them even to the extent of running over hill and dale with the team in its practice workouts.

Skill in marksmanship is particularly important at a time when every young man may expect to take his place in the armed forces. Our rifle team affords the opportunity to gain expertness on the range. The team completed a fine season as it finished third in the South Shore Athletic League competition, placed in the Long Island Sectionals and in the National Rifle Association Tournament. Mr. Fontana coached a squad who senior members taught less experienced nimrods. Jennid Continuing a tradition of victory established when Mr. Livingston assumed the coaching position, tennis thrives at Mepham. A strong squad numbered George Clark, Ira Rosen, Joel Bickel, Charles Frank, Steve Portman, Steve Backer and Bill Bach as members. Coach Livingston gives expert instruction to the team, helping the members improve their strokes and court generalship. The group’s outstanding player and its captain was George Clark. As of press time the team’s record is seven wins in eight games. TENNIS—Standing: Mr. Livingston, Rosen, Clark, Portman. Kneeling: Backer, Bickel, Goldstein, Bach.

With the discovery that table tennis could be a slashing game, calling for lightning reflexes and affording exercise of a wide variety of strokes, the once-neglected game is rapidly gaining a following of enthusiastic aficionados. The club meets Wednesdays between four and five. Under Mr. Livingston’s expert guidance members gained consistent improvement and enjoyed themselves at this game. Top players of the season included Harvey Poppel, Edward Beck, Jerry and Howard Dicker. The winter sports season found this year’s bowling squad, according to Mr. Schneider, the coach, to be one of the best Mepham has produced. With the return of lettermen Williams, Hinck, Snyder, Witte and newcomers Osterman and Messina, the team placed second in the S. S. A. L., beating Mepham’s traditional rivals, Freeport, Baldwin and Hempstead. At the close of the season Williams held the highest individual average of 170 while the game average reached a score of 884.

(hcishetla ff Each one teach one” might be the motto of the Coaches Club. The Coaches Club members have demonstrated exceptional ability in the field of physical education and many of them use the opportunity afforded by the Club to try their wings in the field of teaching. Mepham’s experience has been that the girls who act in this capacity do an outstanding job in what will be their chosen field for many of them. To qualify for membership a girl must have earned a minimum of 250 Long Island Girls Association points, ten of which must have been earned as a leader in after-school activity. She must also have passed at least two written examinations in officiating. Membership in the club is limited to thirty members. The Coaches devoted a fixed number of hours a month to work in the gym office, staged Games Night and Sportsnight, a Mother-Daughter Dinner, picnics and sponsored a Christmas party for girls who had won awards. This sport has proven so popular that participation has been reserved for those girls who have earned 25 points attendance credit in another activity. The team participates in Playdays sponsored by the Women’s Athletic Association, in intermural games and intramural competition. BASKETBALL—Standing: Reiter, Mansell, Uliland, O’Brien, Goettel.

The squad of three singles and a set of doubles was unbeaten at a Playday with Baldwin, Southside and Central High Schools. The Senior class team came out on top in a class day match. By virtue of their persistent hard work and efficient service, the managers made possible the large schedule of girls’ sports. Without them, the gym teachers would have indeed found it difficult, if not impossible, to carry on Mepham’s full schedule of after-school activities. PING PONG—Standing: O’Brien, Kwak, Schneider, Barker. Sitting: Meyer, Gerber, Wolfensohn, Friedberg. In addition to checking in equipment at every session they also coached the beginners and served as referees when they were needed. When our teams traveled to other schools to participate in playdays or interscholastic matches, one of the two managers would accompany them to help in scoring, to act as referees, to help in traveling and to check, pack and distribute the gear. They performed the tasks for making the teams smooth-running organizations. Because of their faithful service, the managers removed many time-consuming chores from the hands of their coaches, Miss Noller, Mrs. Donald and Miss Germiller. Thus they helped make the activities more enjoyable for both coaches and the girls participating. Page ninety-one VOLLEYBALL—Standing: Robins, Baker, Duffy, Grant. Kneeling: Mansell, Eicher, Paladino, Goettel, Mccking. Through November and December from the girls’ gymnasium come the calls of your score,” side out” and rotate,” indicating that volleyball was again claiming its adherents. This sport has a glorious tradition at Mepham: in thirteen years of competition, only once have we failed to receive first place honors. This year, at the annual Playday, held at Amityville, Mepham finished second to Farming-dale, breaking its hitherto unblemished record of firsts. The Senior class defeated the other teams in a class day match. Archery attracts girls who have keen eyesight and are willing to practice diligently. Those participating meet twice a week during the spring and fall time divisions. During these periods the team participated in intramural games. At the end of each season an honor team, which plays in an archery Playday, is chosen. This year’s honor team consisted of Carol Selinsky, Joy Bell, Lorraine Henning, Carol Seaman and Ann Goettel. They represented us in the Playday held at Baldwin High School. ARCHERY—Peregrine, Henning, Goettel, Seaman. Page ninety-two VARSITY CHEERLEADERS—Gibbons, Nodland, Carncsalc, Payntar, Duflfy, Miller. Here are the spark plugs that fire the great Mepham teams on to victory! Mepham’s cheerleaders inspire the cheering sections for the Garnet and Gray. The years have seen the evolution from two or three boys with their frenzied exhortations to the precisely executed maneuvers of a whole line of vivacious girls. The modern Mepham squad has a repertory that includes cheers, songs and novelty turns tailored to each game, by Miss Noller, their coach. Competition for a berth on the squad is lively. Members must achieve a high scholastic rating consistently. They have had to prove their ability as accomplished gymnasts, dancers and vocalists. Apprenticeship is served for at least a year on the Junior Varsity squad where grades for each competitor arc kept and arc used as the basis for advancement to the Varsity. This year’s Varsity squad numbered Adrienne Carnesale, Ann Duffy, Martha Gibbons, Elsie Miller, Ruth Nodland and Pat Payntar. The Junior Varsity squad was composed of Soma Baldwin, Virginia Fitch, Joan Mansell, Pat Sheehan and Judy Wetzel. The cheerleaders conduct an assembly program each year for the freshmen, on which occasion they not only instruct the newcomers in Mepham songs and cheers, but give them a taste of the Mepham esprit de corps. They are a faithful group of rooters for our teams, appearing not only at all home games, but traveling to support our teams in enemy land. J. V. CHEERLEADERS—Standing: Fitch, Mansell, Baldwin.

Mepham’s girls are becoming adept in the use of the stick and puck. We tied in games with Lindenhurst, Farm-ingdalc and Amityville but lost to Baldwin. In intermural competition the Junior-Senior team tied with Baldwin, Freeport and Westbury while the Freshman-Sophomore team won their match with Freeport. The Junior-Senior team displayed a slight superiority in a series of inter-class games. Our girls’ softball team is no setup in any league. The pitchers steam them in, the batters swing and the fielders scoop ’em up. With Miss Nollcr’s coaching the girls placed second at the fourth annual Sportsday held at Mcpham. Deserving particular mention were Tootsie Graziano, shortstop, and Ann Goettel in right field. Next season’s team holds promise with Barbara Carr pitcher, Norma Meinch and Lillian Woll candidates for second, Ann and Tootsie holding over.

Followers of the shuttlecock claim that their sport, played in modern manner, requires the endurance of a marathoner, the precision and strokes of a master tennis player. Over seventy-five girls participated in badminton this year and it has become one of the most popular sports among girls at Mepham. This year’s team played against Great Neck, Freeport, Oceanside, Baldwin and its traditional rival—Lynbrook. Members of the Flonor Team were Patricia Baker, Lois Woll, Dorothy Wasson, Barbara Wasson and Alice Ganley. Jennid Who’s for tennis? At Mepham, the answer is— many! Accomplishment in this sport is a social asset, a good partner being in demand on the courts. It is popular also because it is good fun. Mepham courts are crowded spring and fall. Our honor team did well in a Playday at Baldwin, placing second in a list of eight schools. This year’s team was sparked by Phyllis Fishman, Marion McNulty, Joan Kwak, Joan Bren-ning, Geraldine Bauer and Jean Barker. TENNIS: Fishman, Brcnning, Bauer, McNulty, Barker, Kwak. Jap cur an 9 A tap dancing class was introduced into the girls’ sports schedule last winter. The group first practiced the fundamental steps of tapping. As the class progressed they learned novelty and line dance routines. The dancers were rated on gracefulness, clearness of tap sounds and memory of the routines. We look forward to the near future when the tap dance class will be ready to perform in the Pop Concert. Wodern 2b, 'a nee The modern dance affords girls opportunity to employ various dance forms and techniques to represent musical themes, episodes or even abstract ideas through the medium of plastic forms and rhythms. This year the group developed both individual and group translations, presenting at the Pop Concert an interpretation of the Syncopated Clock. Members met once weekly and enjoyed exercise, relaxation and recreation. 3JL 2b, 1uncina y The physical education department, along with the students, welcomed folk dancing to the athletic program this year. The girls were taught Slavic, Hungarian and American folk dances by Miss Germiller. This new activity was enjoyed by all the participants and proved to be such a success that it continued throughout two seasons. TAP DANCING: Wantuch, A. Krocscn, Sirota, Rcinhard, Brcnning, Timm.

With twelve schools competing, Mepham finished in first place. Norma Meinch bowled the highest game of the entire sportsday with a score of 187. This was a fitting climax to a season in which this sport enjoyed great popularity. The girls bowled once a week at the Sunrise and the Bcllmore alleys and had several matches against other schools. Those who made the honor team were Tea Holmberg, average 122; Dot Rcinhard, average 124; Doris Nelson, average 136; Pat Robertson, average 119, and Norma Meinch with high average of 146.

Stunts and Jumliin Stunts and Tumbling offers to those girls interested in advancing beyond the basic gymnastic skills taught in the gym course, the opportunity to explore the intricacies of feats involving unusual coordination, quick reflexes and suppleness. This sport, as tutored by Miss Germiller, goes beyond mere individual virtuosity. The members invent group routines. In these they express coordination, performing in rhythm their evolutions. They develop symmetrically balanced groups in which they work from one form to another, displaying first simple skills such as somersaults, forward rolls, backward rolls, splits, hand stands, cartwheels and backbends. Then they advance to the more difficult flips, flying angels and the fan. (If you don’t know what these are, the girls perform at Freshman Sports-night.—Adv’t.) The group demonstrated their routines at an assembly program which acquainted students with the various sports activities. Membership in this organization is required for girls aspiring to be cheerleaders. To this end, a record is kept of the stunts mastered by each girl.
