Mepham High School Bellmore, New York Phyllis Fishman Jerry Manne Helen Sachs Cover Design Advisor Editors Vera Gretchyn Harvey Poppel Audrey Wildner Thom Leyland Philip S. Jennison MR. CLUKIES MR. CURTIS 'Dedication Acceptance of an office which means countless hours of work without remuneration, is indeed noteworthy. When the position entails little public recognition, such service appears even more remarkable. It is this unselfish response to community needs which characterizes membership on a board of education. Students and faculty at Wellington C. Mepham High School are particularly fortunate in the caliber of men serving on their board of education. This fact has been evident especially during the past three years of district expansion. After the State Education Department ruled that Central High School District Number Three should assume responsibility for the seventh and eighth grades of its four elementary school districts, the board members added manifold duties to the current business of high school operation. Many extra meetings were necessary in order to prepare and disseminate information to keep the citizens fully aware of the issues involved, to gauge expected student enrollment, to determine how many schools to build, to select and purchase sites, to choose an architect, to plan the buildings, to award construction contracts, MR. BUTTERWECK MR. GUNTHER MR. KING mr. McCarthy MR. REINHARD MR. WOLF and to select furniture and equipment. Furthermore, members of the board visited many newly established schools in order to become better acquainted with the problems at hand. Therefore, in recognition of their community interest, schpol spirit, and wholehearted devotion, we dedicate the 1954 TREASURE CHEST to the members of the Board of Education of Central High School District Number Three. Mr. William A. Clukies, president, member of the board four years Mr. Reid A. Curtis, vice-president, member of the board three years Mr. J. Henry Butterweck, member of the board three years Mr. Jacob Gunther, member of the board six years Mr. John B. King, member of the board three years Mr. Frank W. McCarthy, member of the board three years Mr. Charles A. Reinhard, member of the board nine years Mr. Theodore B.

CALHOUN Administration This year the task of completing the junior high schools has placed an added burden on the already busy administration. As supervising principal of Central High School District No. 3, Mr. Sanford H. Calhoun has assumed a large share of the work ?Sn-nected with the completion of the junior high schools in time for the September 1954 term. Mr. Calhoun was born and attended high school in Troy, New York. He earned his B.S. degree at St. Lawrence University and his M.A. at Columbia University. He has filled the position of supervising principal since 1935, except when he served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War IL He has now been promoted to the position of principal of the district. As assistant supervising principal, Mr. Eugene Hollenbeck has assumed many of the duties of the Mepham principal this year and has helped Mr. Calhoun in planning the junior high schools. He has now been promoted to the position of administrative assistant. Mr. Hollenbeck received his B.A. degree from St. Lawrence University and his M.A. from Columbia University. He acted as principal during Mr. Calhoun's absence for military service. Although the problems besieging the administration this year were burdensome, the interest of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Hollenbeck in Mepham affairs did not wane. They were present at practically all school functions and were instrumental in arranging many activities. rage six SCIENCE Bock: Mr. Torbell, Mr. Schneider.

JOSEPH ZANCHELLI Senior Advisor Since the Spring of 1953, Mr. Joseph Zan-chelli has encouraged the Class of 1954 to do its best in every task that it has encountered. He has directed the class in a quiet, friendly manner, and has always been willing to assist the seniors and give his opinion about anythir j they might ask. Last June, Mr. Zanchelli began by helping the class in sponsoring the Junior Prom, considered the most successful in Mepham's history because of its attendance. Whenever the committees were in need of more materials, Mr. Z was always on hand to go on an errand. At the opening of school in the fall came the job of selling refreshments at the football games. Besides selling the usual articles, this year's Senior Class introduced the sale of garnet and gray beanies at the games. The Harvest Moon Ball was one of the events of the school year sponsored by the Senior Class. Mr. Z was again on hand to aid the class in the preparations for its last big dance— the Harlequin Ball. Once more, his untiring efforts helped make this dance what it was. Mr. Zanchelli attended the meetings of the Senior Planning Committee, and helped solve the problems which came up from time to time. At the conclusion of the year, the class attended the Senior Picnic. As the Class of '54 leaves, we wish to express our many thanks to Mr. Zanchelli for all he has done to make our senior year at Mepham a successful and enjoyable one.

Front: Schoninger, Noke s, Gibbs, Mr. Tarbell. A familiar figure at sporting events was the P.A. Club commentator who presented the game verbally to the spectators. Directed by Mr. Tarbell, the club tried to give its members the experience in speaking over a public address system. The club representatives announced football and basketball games, wrestling and track meets. The objective of the club was to give the sports fan an accurate and concise play by play report of the game. With the help of the newly erected score board, the boys reported the game and handled the timing, spotting and scoring. By taking an interest in the sports events, the Public Address Club members aided the fans and the officials. Latin Club Trip To New York Page sixty-five KEY CLUB—Back row-.

Students of water color, advertising design, costume design and basic art presented projects. Last year, for the first time, students worked on modeling and sculpturing projects in classrooms which were open to the public. Approximately five hundred objects were ex- hibited by the Industrial Arts Department including work in woodworking, metal craft, ceramics, printing and electrical and radio work. The Home Economics Department display included exhibits in table arranging, food display, serving and interior decorating. Buccaneer, Treasure Chest and Skull and Bones also had displays. Driving tests were exhibited by the driver's education course. The A Cappella Choir and the Senior Band presented a musical program.

Walton Alderfer, has been noted for several years for the quality of its choral music. The choir made its initial appearance of the year at Freshman Night. Following this was a concert given at the Roosevelt Raceway for the Long Island Exposition and Mineola Fair. The choir worked actively with the Merrick Brotherhood Council, performing at the Community Thanksgiving Service and the Brotherhood Dinner. On the choir agenda for the year were visits to public schools throughout Long Island. The choir sang at Mattituck and Southhampton High Schools for the third consecutive year. The highlight of the choir activities for the year was the annual Christmas Concert featuring the traditional candlelight ceremony. Visitors from all over the northeastern United States came to see the performance. The choir repertoire included both sacred and secular selections.

The orchestra was under the direction of both Mr. Davies and Mr. Pritchard. During the past few years, Mr. Davies has been working several times a week with the students in the grade schools. Through these efforts, the students are better prepared to play in the orchestra when they become students at Mepham. The opportunity of beginning to play an instrument while in the elementary grades has already brought an improvement in the high school orchestra. f. Mr. Davies In December the orchestra played at the Band and Orchestra Concert. In the spring this organization performed at the Spring Arts Festival, and at the production of the Skull and Bones play in May.

FOOTBALL Starting with only two first-stringers from 1952's undefeated squad. Coach Nick Sabetto rounded the 1953 football team into a ball club which finished in a tie for second place, winning five and losing two in the Triple-A conference. In the opening game the Pirates showed strong offensive power by overwhelming a weak Central team 41-14. Tailback Jack Hinger starred as he tallied twice on end runs and teamed up with End Dick Dose on an 80 yard scoring pass play. The Bucs, however, were shut out the next week 13-0 by Baldwin, whose rugged line held when the chips were down. Without the services of Quarterback Frank Gobetz and Center Ben Brucia who were hurt in the Baldwin fray, the Garnet and Gray suffered a heartbreaking 7-6 defeat at the hands of Chaminade. Don Lyons scored Mepham's lone marker on a 50-yard return of an intercepted pass early in the game. This was erased in the third quarter when the Flyers scored and kicked the extra point. Bill Sandie highlighted a 24-19 victory over Lawrence by personally accounting for the Pirates' four touchdowns. Big Bill bucked the line three times for scores and took a 26-yard pass for another marker. Sandie again showed the way against Sewan-haka as he scored on an 85-yard return of the opening kickoff, kicked an extra point and threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Andy Scerbo as the Bucs won by 13-12. With a three and two record, the Pirates met an undefeated Freeport eleven and pulled one of the biggest upsets of the season. Lyons' 90-yard kickoff return, Sandie's 35 and 25 yard scoring jaunts and the latter's plunge for the rage cighty-two Action in the Lawrence game. Sondie Coach Sabetto lone extra point of the game provided Mepham's winning 19-18 margin. In the season's finale the gridsters blanked Hempstead 21-0 as they combined a powerful offense with a strong defense to finish with a great team victory. Sandie again led the team from the single wing and was its main offensive weapon scoring eight touchdowns and ten extra points. In the post season voting. Bill was chosen first string fullback for the all-scholastic teams of the Daily News, Telegram-Sun, Long Island Press and Newsday. The Tom Thorp award, indicator of Long Island's most outstanding schoolboy foot- ball player, was also conferred upon him. In seven games Sandie carried the ball 181 times gaining 894 yards for an average of 4.94 yards per carry. Senior letter winners were: Ben Beckmann, Dick Beckmann, Dick Dose, Ken Fisher, Frank Gobetz, A! Haggerty, John Hannan, Jack Hingher, Herb Lavanhar, Martin Lavanhar, Don Lyons, Jack McCarthy, Russ Osterman, Andy Scerbo, Joe Troup, Emil Tucek and Bill White. Letter winners who will return for Coach Sabetto next year are: Ted Bailey, Ben Brucia, Bruce Damuth, John Michalek and Sandie. SENIOR LETTERMEN—Back. McCarthy, Fisher, Gobetz, Dose, Osterman.

Good performances were turned in at almost every meet by Clem Hoovler, Art Tauber, Lee Mann and Skip Jaehne. Ralph Schmoller, Bob Raacke, Jerry Weisenseel, Bob Fuller and Al Frankel followed behind. Ken Smith was manager. Mr. Fjeldal Page eighty-four The J. V. line-up was much more successful than the varsity runners. Dyke, a sophomore, was the most outstanding of the J. V. runners. Ramsey, Costello, McCarthy and White, another sophomore, also ran fast times. Mepham lost to Sewanhaka, Hempstead, and Freeport. The harriers proved triumphant over Central and Lawrence and placed fifth in the SSAL run and seventh in the sectionals.

WRESTLING Climaxing the year by taking nine individual championships in the South Shore Tournament and five in the Section Eight Tournament, the Buc Grapplers completed another undefeated season. This was the seventeenth consecutive year that the Pirates have won these tournaments. In winning fifteen dual meets the Gardner-men stopped all opposition on Long Island and also teams from Leonia and Washington, New Jersey and from Forty Fort and Hill School in Pennsylvania. The Bucs scored shutouts over Leonia, Forty Fort, Lynbrook and South Side. In the fifteen matches the Pirates scored a total of 472 points while the opposition scored only 84. The grap- plers amassed a record 117 points in the South Shore Tournament. Members of this year's squad who annexed South Shore Championships were: Ed Hawthorne, 106; Gordon Muse, 115; Jerry Weisenseel, 123; Bill Waples, 130; Ken Fisher, 136; Martin Lavanhar, 148; Bill White, 157; Dick Dose, 168; and Bill Sandie, heavyweight. Waples, Fisher, White, Dose and Sandie also won Long Island Championships. Of these champions. Coach Sprig Gardner will have Hawthorne, Muse, Weisenseel and Sandie back next year. Other returning letter winners will be John Gardner, David Herst, Lee Mann, Frank McCarthy, Donald Verity and Tom Rylander. L. I.

BASKETBALL This year the Mepham basketball team concluded its season with twelve victories and six defeats. Mepham's league record was nine and five, while the team stood three and one in nonleague competition. During the 1953-54 campaign the Mepham team won two major upset victories. The first was a 52-50 victory over Hempstead on their court. Valley Stream Central, the South Shore Section I champions, suffered their only defeat of the year at the hands of Mepham in the Mepham gymnasium by a 50-46 count. Mepham also defeated its two traditional rivals, Freeport and Baldwin, twice each during the season. During the early days of practice. Coach Versocki was dubious of his team's success since he had only four lettermen returning from last year's squad. None of these four lettermen. Bob Burness, Dick Anderson, Jack Hingher and Bob Meurn had seen much action during the 1952-53 season. Coming up from the previous year's junior varsity were Steve Portman, Joe Internicola, John Harmeling, Al Nathan, Jerry Tucker, all juniors, and Sophomore Joe Metzger. Rounding out the team were Art Tauber, Bill Kuneth, Ted Bailey and Jim Tulloch. Burness on lay-up Another Mepham basket Coach Versocki advises Coach Versocki In the first few games, Mepham was paced by the scoring of Burness and Portman and by Anderson's rebounding. Four clutch foul shots by Burness in the Hempstead game provided Mepham with its margin of victory. Jack Hingher's fine playmaking and scoring, plus six-four Joe Metzger's fine defense on Central's Dierking, the league's leading scorer, enabled Mepham to defeat Valley Stream. The team lost Hingher through mid-year graduation, but Al Nathan came up to fill his shoes at guard. About mid-season, Internicola proved himself to be an effective scorer, and was inserted frequently into the line-up. The usual starting line-up was Burness and Anderson as forwards, Metzger or Internicola at center, and Portman and Hingher as the guards. Portman was the team's leading scorer averaging 15 points a game, followed by Burness who averaged 12, Hingher 10, and Internicola and Anderson who averaged eight each. Anderson and Burness were Mepham's leading rebounders, while Portman and Nathan provided most of the playmaking. Led by Bob Swenson, Bill Schack, Don Forster and Dick Dietz, this year's J. V. team compiled a fifteen and three record. As a result of being promoted to assistant principal at Mepham, this year was Coach Ver-socki's least season as basketball coach, a post which he had held since 1937. At a dinner given at Coach Versocki's house the team presented him with a plaque paying tribute to his 17 years as coach. On it were also inscribed the players' names. JUNIOR VARSITY-Brandt, Nelson, Wilgenkamp, Dietz, Wolf, Pugliese, Anderson, mgr., Schulein, Hoke, Forster, Swenson, Schack, Carmen. RIFLE—Back: Drinjak, Smith, Neldner, Levy, Dunham, Mr. Fontana.

Leading marksmen, Edward Judice and Fred Neldner, paced the team to a record of 11 wins and three losses. A one point loss in the last contest prevented the team from finishing in first place. This year's team compiled a record which was the best that a Mepham squad had ever achieved. Mr. Fontana served as the coach. Coached by Mr. Schneider, this year's bowling team captured third place in the South Shore High School League, even though the team suffered the loss of its captain Dick Snyder and the experience of Rich Witte when they both graduated in January. This was offset by the return of George Hinck, the team's new captain and excellent scoring by Bruce Long, Bob Zam-ojcin, Jerry Messina and Jim Casselia. Since all are seniors, next year's bowling team will be inexperienced. BOWLING—Mr. Schneider, Zamojcin, Hinck, Witte, Snyder, Long.

Front row: Fisher, Pacent, Scerbo, Wolf. BASEBALL With the return of Spring, the Buc nine, minus many of last year's players, took to the field to get into shape for its 18 game schedule. The team played 14 league and four non-league games. This year was expected to be one of rebuilding according to Mr. Lurel. He hoped the lack of experience would be made up by hard drive and enthusiasm. The 1953 team lost only one of the six series played with other member teams in Section 1 of the South Shore Athletic League. Mepham beat Sewanhaka the eventual champions, and finished in second place with a record of 12. and 5. The pitching of All-Scholastic Bruce Watts and heavy hitting of Ray Frisch, Roger Marino and Gus Sjolholm paved the way for this fine record. The only two returning lettermen in this year's team were Andy Scerbo at shortstop in '52 and '53 and Ken Fisher, catcher. The rest of the team was expected to include George Hinck at first, Joe Internicola at second and Joe Rossomano and George Aimes alternating at third. Outfielders included Ben Brucia, Warren Smith, Mike Dyott and Jim Beck. The mound staff was composed of Jack Brown, Ed 'Kreuscher, Ted Bailey, Bill Watts and Vin Pacent.

TRACK With the winning of the Sewanhaka Relays, Long Island Relays and the SSAL championship, the 1953 track team completed another undefeated season. Until 1954, the Mepham trackmen had been undefeated in 47 dual and triangular meets during the past five years. The 1953 team was strongest in the field events with Tom Brady and Bob Tallgren doing best in the shot put while Jack McCarthy helped them out with the discus. Top places in the broad jump and high jump were monopolized by Bill Hawthorne, Willis Trainor and Al Ristori, and Bob Knapp, Fred Meyer and Russ Randall respectively. Both Knapp and Hawthorne set school records last season. Jack Hingher, Bob Gampp and Bill Traynor were the pole vaulters. In the track events. Bob Wilmott and Bruce DeFreitas ran the mile while Kevin O'Sullivan and Bob Brown ran the half. Bob Raacke and John Harmeling paced the quarter milers. Mepham sprinters were Trainer, Hawthorne, Joe Beato and Ristori while Russ Osterman and Don Lyons ran the hurdles. The 1954 season, as Coach Nick Sabetto stated, was expected to be pretty rough, as only four of last year's 21 lettermen were back.

In November, the annual team matches were held. Jim Beck, Ken Rubsamen, Bill Bach, Jerry Dicker, Howard Dicker, Dick Stempler, Bill Kenney, Ray Johnson, Joe Laub and Ted Rubsamen, took part in the matches. Bach was crowned champion in the finals. The 1953 team won five matches out of eight. They defeated Hempstead, Central, Baldwin, Chaminade and Oceanside while losing to Sewanhaka, Malverne and Southside.

COACHES CLUB MANAGERS A familiar sight in their grey gym suits, the girls of Coaches Club provided help in the physical education classes this year. Their work ranged from filing score cards to chasing after lost basketballs. Besides assisting in gym classes and supporting after-school sports, the coaches sponsored Games Night, Sports Night and rummage sales during the year. Captain of Coaches Club was Joyce Schonberger who was assisted by Gail O'Brien. With the start of every time division, new managers were picked. Usually two girls for each sport were chosen for this job. They took attendance, looked after the apparatus necessary for the activity, and in general, aided the physical education teachers in making the many extra-curricular activities run smoothly. These girls also went to games at other schools to keep score. MANAGERS—Back: Leich, Harnick, Fisher, Wasson, Ganley, Schonberger, Compton.

FIELD HOCKEY TENNIS Field hockey, one of the girls' fall sports at Mepham, requires much skill if the game is to be played successfully. Good co-ordination, team work, and mastery of various skills are possessed by efficient players. The girls were placed on either Team A or Team B. In the intramural playoffs, Team A defeated Team B. The honor team played seven games. They tied Bethpage, Lindenhurst, Amityville, Islip, and Central, lost to Farmingdale by two points, and defeated Sewanhaka by 1-0. Such a large number of girls went out for tennis, that beginners and advanced groups were formed in both the spring and fall. Each group met twice a week after school to learn the techniques of the serve and net play. In the fall the honor team, whose members were Marion McNulty, Gerry Bauer, Elsie Sil-tanen, Joanne Nocerino, Carol Schmidt and Joan Brenning, won three, lost one and tied four of their games.

The girls tied for first place, sharing their honors with Freeport. The honor team has placed first 14 out of 15 years in playday competition. Mastery of certain skills such as the spike, change of direction and recovery from the net lead to better playing of the game. The seniors won the intramural playoffs once again by defeating the other three classes. The Mepham badminton team placed first at the playday at Baldwin. During the inter-scholastic season, the Mepham girls won the games they played with Lawrence, Baldwin and Freeport, lost to Oceanside and Lynbrook and tied with Great Neck. Singles were played by Joyce Leich and Alice Ganley. Joan Kineke and Alice Beales played on one doubles team and Dot Wasson and Joan Sensmeyer, the other. The girls also played intramural games. The Juniors topped the Seniors in the final matches. BADMINTON—Bock: Kineke, Wasson. Middle: Ganley, Mecking. Front: Heyman, Leich.

BASKETBALL PING PONG This year's girls' basketball team can well be proud of itself. The seniors won all the games they played against Amityville, Lynbrook and Freeport; the juniors won those with Amityville and Freeport, but were defeated by the Lynbrook girls. The honor team members were Virginia Fitch, Joan Mansell, Eileen Freidberg, Sybil Wolfensohn, Joyce Leich, Alice Ganley, Suzanne Sirota, Dorothy Wasson, Janice Thornton, Alice Szabo and Janet Vrooman. Coached by Miss Noller, the girls held sessions twice a week after school. By working at basketball fundamentals, team plays, and different scoring methods, the girls were able to attain their 5-1 record. Ping pong was a winter sport. Mepham placed fourth .in the playday because of a three-way tie for first place. Members of the squad for the first time division were Eileen Freidberg, Sybil Wolfensohn, Sandy Karaus, Linda Rubenstein and Carol Lee. In the second time division Barbara Heyman, Joyce Schonberger and Gail O'Brien played singles while Diane Tietjen and Georgia Curtis were doubles partners. PING PONG—Top: Freidberg, Tietjen.
