So may the history of a school life, if properly executed, be an aid to the student as he passes from youth to manhood. The purpose of the editors in compiling this book, therefore, is not merely to create a medium through which the memories of an almost forgotten youth may be recalled, but to symbolize a certain coming to maturity in the lives of those who are now bidding farewell to their high school. The student is often inclined to belittle the importance of his graduation from high school. This should be one of the two greatest events in his life. A human lives but twice-once in his youth, again in his manhood. Commence- ment is the culmination of the first life and the beginning of the new. It should be a time of joy, of pride. The annual not only should bring to him a realization of the greatness of this moment, but it should be an aid to him as he passes from this,'his first life, into the next, his final. H VVhen, in later years, he glances over the following pages, let him penetrate their gilted praises, let him remember the truer life he led, with its multifold mistakes. He should use these errors of his youth as guides for future action. Thus, by recalling the memories of his boyhood, with its blunders, the annual may give new direction to self-criticism and creative energy, and help in establishing the sovereignty of high plan, design, and ideal. lt is with this purpose in mind that the editors have compiled The Jrisra. -BERT LINDER.

Three years ago, Great Neck High School discarded a slightly small and outmoded, but pleasantly worn garment to don bright, shiny raiment. With the same sadness that one relinquishes an old, serviceable piece of clothing, and with the same joy that one acquires the latest and most advanced style, the local institution transplanted itself from Arrandale to Polo Road, experienced the stiffness of new garb, and grew to fit the larger size. These three years have been milestones in the history of Great Neck High School. A phenomenal rate of expansion caused the second year enrollment to double that of the first year, and, because of this astounding pace, the third year has witnessed the discontinuance of tuition students from the surrounding region. But the rapid growth of Great Neck High School has only been commensurate with the equally astonishing growth of the community, a growth which has truly localized the school, and yet, on the other hand, a growth which reflects the cosmo- politan spirit of Great Neck. It is indeed a tribute to the fine cooperative bond existing between the school and the community when citizens of so rich a district as Great Neck, people ordinarily entrusting their children to private schools, recognize the local high school, which, in its modern and extensive setting, embraces many of the advantages of the best private schools, while possessing added features of its own. The close intimacy and tradition of Arrandale, for the present at least, are things of the past. Spiritual growth can only come when physical growth ceases. Already, there are signs of a new spiritual birth. In place of the old school tradition, a new school tradition is being built. axe se axe ar as And the ivy shall creep up the walls of the new school. -ROBERT LAWREN.

OF THE IN THROFGII TIIE ARCH p fa! 5 if was s ' 4 is-Lf 1 . f 'je The Faculty HE men and women that compose the faculty of Great Neck High School rep- resent diversified stratas in the educational life of America. Individually, the members of the teaching staff have matriculated at seventy-eight different colleges, universities, and institutions of higher learning located not only in the United States but also in Europe. A In line with the rapid growth of the school there have been correspondingly fast strides in the development of the faculty. Adhering to the liberal policy of the Great Neck board, the teaching ranks swelled from fifty-three instructors last year to sixty- three in 1932. Miss Bates, Mr. Chamberlain, Miss Crandall, hir. Daly, Miss Dreher, hits. Fogg, Mrs. Guiney, Miss Hittle, Mr. Hutchinson, Bliss Kinnaman, Mr. Prutting, Mrs. Reading, Mr. Sabin, lVIr. Snyder, Miss Sorensen, and Bliss Steiner were among the recent additions. Except for one change, the departmental heads continued as before. When Dean Mildred C. Bowen resigned the Mathematics portfolio, Miss Christine Makuen was appointed to the position. Nlr. Brunner, Mr. Cook, Nlr. Douglas, hliss Elliott, bliss Fay, Bliss Goehler, Mr. Gregory, Mr. lVIatthew Smith, hir. Swenson, and Mr. Tupper, along with Miss Makuen, as course directors, outlined the offerings in their respective subjects during the curricular series that featured the season on the school radio. Many members of the faculty, in addition to their duties as class instructors, served as advisers in extra-curricular organizations. Mr. Bowman, Mr. Brunner, Miss Chisholm, Mr. Colvin, lVIiss David, Miss Goehler, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Lusch, Mr. Meyers, Miss Nickerson, bliss 0'Connor, hir. Harry Hale Smith, Miss Steiner, and lVIr. Swenson all lent active support to the clubs and activities which collectively form an important influence in school life. Despite its diversified functions, the faculty nevertheless preserved a well-defined centralization. Tuesday afternoons were reserved for general staff meetings at which current administrative problems and matters of policy vital to the progress of the institution constituted essential topics for discussion. By acting not only as an eilicient teaching body, but by also displaying a hearty interest in activities outside the classroom, by preserving not only the rigid regimen of the three R's, but by also contributing to the schoolys administrative guidance, the faculty of 1932 operated as a unit vital to the well-being of Great Neck High. MR. LEON C. HIGH, PRINCIPAL OF GREAT NECK HIGH SCHOOL , Mr. Willis E. Dodge O the class of 1932, Willis E. Dodge, superintendent of Great Neck schools, has always been and will always be a close friend and staunch supporter. It is the members of the class of 1932 who were freshmen when Mr. Dodge was principal of the 'fold schoolf, The ensuing year, 1929, Great Neck High School transferred to its new spacious quarters on Polo Road, lllr. Dodge became head of the Great Neck system, and now that freshman group of three years ago completes its secondary course, the last high school class to be under lllr. Dodge's personal supervision. If for only this reason, it can be said that Mr. Dodge has formed more intimate associations with the present graduates than with the underclassmen. He has shared our troubles sympathetically. He has championed our causes steadfastly. He has comprehended our problems with penetrating understanding. In leaving Great Neck High, the class of 1932 would like Mr. Dodge to know the affection, respect, and admiration it so sincerely feels for him. Mr. Dodge received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Bowdoin and his blaster of Arts degree from Bates. The graduate schools of Yale, Columbia, and New York Universities, where Mr. Dodge attended, have been significant steps in his extensive educational training. Prolonged experience in teaching and administration contributed to qualify Mr. Dodge preeminently for his present post. He was instructor of modern languages at the Hartford, Connecticut, Public School and Master of Nlodern Languages at Worcester Academy, Worcester, Massachusetts. He was principal of the Princeton, Maine, High School. As instructor of Greek he taught at Bowdoin College, his alma mater. Before coming to Great Neck, he was principal of the high school at Branford, Connecticut. The class of 1932 pays its tribute to lVillis E. Dodge. Mr. Leon C. High R. LEON C. H1GH'S sound counsel is only one of the many familiar qualities which, in his first year, the students of Great Neck High have come to associate with their principal. Mr. High is a native of Hampshire, Illinois. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University and his Master of Arts degree from Columbia Univer- sity. He is a member of three honorary fraternities: Phi Beta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi and Phi Delta Kappa. Mr. High's teaching and administrative experience spreads across the United States. He was head of the English department in Duluth, llflinnesota, and vice- principal in Appleton, VVisconsin. He was principal in Inwood, Michigan, and Hazelton, Pennsylvania. Mr. High organized a new high school in Teaneck, New Jersey, before being appointed to his present position. For nine years, during the summer session, Mr. High has been Assistant to Dean Briggs of Columbia University. As representative of the American Library Association, he distributed magazines and books to the American Expeditionary Forces in the World VVar. Despite an outstanding educational record, Mr. High still retains his youthful enthusiasm. He is the firm adherent of Great Neck High School's representative teams as well as the loyal champion of the students themselves. J I P5 CQi'9 BLANCHE T. BAKER, AB.

This year witnesses the last vanguard of students who retain memories of the dim corridors, pleasant informality, and close bonds that characterized the old school. The senior class organized early in the season. Jack Eckardt was chosen presidentg Raymond Smith, vice-presidentg and Betty Bartholomew, secretary-treasurer. Prior to class elections, the seniors performed another important annual function in the nominating of General Organization ofiicers. From the ranks of the present graduates came four candidates for president of the student body. In the general balloting, William Slocum defeated Lydia lllange, Jack Eckardt, and john Dum- brille. Bert Linder and Edith Schippers were returned class representatives. Linder was subsequently elected vice-president of the council, while Miss Schippers received the post of secretary. The upperclassrnen were, as ever, the outstanding organization members. Accord- ing to precedent, club officers were picked mainly from the senior class, which is proud to assert that almost every graduate was actively interested in some form of extra-curricular life. The athletic teams, in particular, will miss valuable talent by graduation. lllany members of the class intend to enter business directly. The majority, however, will continue their scholastic education in various branches of higher institu- tions of learning. Another senior class feature, shared jointly with the juniors, is the National Honor Society, to which the nucleus of last yearls group select those who have attained outstanding proficiency in academic pursuits. Although most of the seniors are from Great Neck, tuition pupils residing in the surrounding communities have contributed immeasurably to student affairs. To Miss Diary O'Connor and lVIr. John Lusch, who rendered their untiring efforts and invaluable aid to the better administration of the seniors both individually and collectively, goes the sincere tribute of the class of 1932. VVe of the graduating group have derived a great source of satisfaction in the companionship and assistance of bliss O'Connor and Mr. Lusch. Tradition is the life-blood of a school. The deeds of the present graduates will quickly fade into the limbo of everyday occurrences. But the class of '32 feels confi- dent that its presence here has contributed just a little to the intangible tradition of Great Neck High School. ffm! QHAQMOVZQ ew wg JOHN F.

J-'fi SCHOOL IENVIRONS: SUMMER VIICVVS 45 JI NIOR CLASS , TH E Kf' i 1 The Other Classes ERHAPS in no other type of secondary institution is underclass feeling so disor- ganized. With the members of the three lower classes spread all over the school in various homerooms, with new faces constantly appearing and old faces disappear- ing, particularly in the younger grades, it is a difficult task to preserve solidity in lower class organization. VVhere the seniors are grouped in one room and are the outcome of four years of joint growth, the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen have correspond- ingly few opportunities in which to develop unity. Realizing the truth and inevitability of this situation, common to most public high schools, the school authorities abolished freshmen and sophomore class officers, leaving the juniors as the only underclass to choose leaders. Jason Dryer, business manager of the Guide Post, debater, and honor student, was the popular choice for junior presidentg Barbara Smith received the vice-presidency, and Gilbert Fraunhar was elected secretary-treasurer. The annual elections of class representatives for the G. O. council, however, evoked class spirit from all the lower groups. It was through the medium of the General Organization that the student body both as classes and individuals possessed a voice in school affairs. The class nominating conventions and the general election, according to custom, transpired during the Hrst weeks of session. Following tradition, the conventions be- came the scenes of many heated discussions, of rabid electioneering, of impassioned tif not slightly awkwardj candidacy pleas. At no other time does class spirit run rampant in such wild style. G. O. elections are the one occasion for animated class gatherings and this year proved to be no exception. From the junior boy nominees of Jason Dryer, Edward Williams, and Daniel Combs, the third year group selected Combs. Patricia Deering gained girl representa- tive by acclamation. john Armstrong defeated Thomas Evans for sophomore boy representative while Lucille Wilds edged out Bernice Rosenthal and Douglass Dum- brille in the girls' contest. Roland Afzelius, president of the junior high last year, received the freshmen boy post in outdistancing Bruce Minnick and Franklin Leto. Virginia Gregory was chosen girl representative over Anita Minkin and Elsie Bander. Ev F ,J.?. M 0 -.N A5344 -J I T K f gf - e if , V L... A.., .. md.. THE SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMEN CLASSES 1 is l 1' Prominent Underclassmen RONI the ranks of the three lower classes came the body and substance of extra- curricular organizations and from this legion came a still smaller group, students who, through their manifold contributions to institutional functions, occupied preeminent positions. In presenting the underclassmen on the following pages, accom- panied by a very brief review of their activities, it is, of course, realized that many of the outstanding have not been included. Effort has been made, on the other hand, to select a representative group of students active in every phase of student life. A glance at the rolls of the clubs and teams, along with the officers and out- standing members of those organizations, will reveal many names inadvertently omitted in these short summaries. While other articles have relegated the student to a minor role in favor of the organization activities, the prominent underclassmen write-ups, supplementing the customary senior sketches, strive to present a composite picture of the attainments of the leading individual club members. In the following arrangement of thirty-four preeminent juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, such positions and groups are contained as president of the junior class, captain-elect of the football team, president of the Girls' Athletic Association, fresh- man G. O. representatives, captain of the debate team, contributor to a local daily, leads in feature dramatic productions, concertmaster of the student orchestra, president of the General Science Club, editor of The Almanac, captain of the tennis team, associate editor of the Guide Posl, president of the Girls' Letter Club, business man- ager and assistant business manager of the Guide Post, vice-president of the Junior Red Cross Club, captain of the chess team, and members of such organizations and teams as debate, Guide Post, Glee Club, Dramatics Club, orchestra and band, foot- ball, soccer, basketball, tennis, hockey, cheer leading, wrestling, junior Red Cross, General Science Club, track, baseball, Lens Club, Bunsen Burners, and innumerable other organization and individual endeavors. 693355 CWA 9:Jx.u ROLAND CHARLES AFZELIUS Roland, a leading figure of the freshman class, was president of the junior high.

Jul '!wi n'i1 ,WX ' L Bale-..-QHQSQ9 -2 The Organizations REAT NECK HIGH SCHOOL is singularly fortunate in having so many lesser organizations within its major structure. Those of us who were here last year remember Mr. Swenson's memorable speech on spiritual bricks. With striking effectiveness, Mr. Swenson asserted that the students of Great Neck High could never be proud of their school, in spite of its beautiful building and exceptional facilities, if, within its physical confines, a worthy spiritual edifice were not erected. That the Orange and Blue is actually accomplishing the thought expressed by Mr. Swenson became increasingly apparent in 1932. The students, perhaps to a greater extent than any previous year, clearly exhibited their ability as builders of that valuable inner structure. A range of activities that includes in its scope a sulfi- ciently wide choice to meetathe needs of practically every type of student talent, prospered through the efforts of the pupils themselves. The faculty advisers and sponsors, who have supervised the various organizations, were of inestimable worth to the success of the manifold undergraduate endeavors. Every modern secondary institution should have its element of student govern- ment. At Great Neck High, that element is the General Organization and popu- larly elected G. O. Council. Each class, following nominations, elected a boy and girl representative to serve on the council. The seventh and eighth grade delegates were faculty appointees. With the entire school sharing in its government through the class representatives, the council enacted legislative measures that proved forward steps in the efficient administration of the school. For the artistically inclined, Great Neck offers extra-curricular work in music, art, and dramatics. The first department includes a band of forty-five pieces, a twenty-seven instrument orchestra, and an excellently trained glee club. The band attended all major athletic contests, the orchestra performed in assemblies, at dramatic presentations, and other important academic functions, the glee club appeared publicly during the Christmas season. The art courses are supplemented by the Sketch Club and Crafts Club. The dramatic circle is represented by the Junior Players, who present from three to four feature productions annually. Over a hundred avid students contributed either directly or indirectly to the stage offerings of the club. Acting, costuming, art work, property work, stage crew, printing, and advertising are only a few of the multifold branches of stagecraft employed in the Junior Players' programs. To the person with journalistic ambitions, the bi-weekly school paper, The Guide Post, has many compensations for participation, The Guide Post, a five-column sheet that varies from four to eight pages, is an established school institution. Though but three years old, in competition with the leading secondary journals of the country, it won second place in both the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association nation-wide contests. The Arista, the annual publication, is open to members of the senior class, which sponsors its appearance. The Bunsen Burners and Science Club, supplementing in an informal manner classroom courses, were sources of much enjoyment and valuable knowledge for the scientifically minded enthusiasts. The Lens Club developed the study of cameras and photographic lore. The Domecon Club and Junior Red Cross Club were for girls interested in household arts and social work. Both organizations accomplished general good in the community as well as school. Some of the more serious formed the Chess Club, which is represented by a team that engages in interscholastic competition. The Hi-Y Club, although its meetings were held in the homes of the members, is a school organization composed entirely of boys who attend Great Neck High. During the year the club was privileged to hear prominent local figures. Its functions are chiefiy social. An activity which has taken firm hold and already commands wide recognition is debating. The students outstanding in forensic skill have acquired an enviable record in the Long Island Interscholastic Debating Association and the Union College Interscholastic Debating Association. Last year, the team gained the championship of the Long Island league and clinched the sectional title in the Union League. From the previous recital, it may readily be seen that the inner structure of the school has a firm foundation. The class of 1932 would like to feel that it has strengthened this structure, if only slightly, and that it has perhaps made a few addi- tions to it. The class of 1932 entertains high hopes for the development of the school internally, but it also hopes that the members will never feel the edifice is complete. The spirit should remain one of steady improvement and upward progress. Dramatics Club HE Dramatics Club, or the Junior Players, as the organization is formally known, has come to occupy an integral portion of school life. Junior Players' productions, coached by Miss Nickerson, are part of the tradition of the school. The diversified activities and the large number of students participating in the in- numerable phases of a dramatic production are contributing factors in the great success the Dramatics Club has attained at Great Neck High. This year over a hundred students were members of the thespian organization. While the majority tried for speaking parts in the productions, many joined the stage crews, the costume committee, the property committees, the electrical staffs, the pub- licity staffs, the printing committees, and the ushering corps. This large and varied organization working in unison offered during the year three feature three-act presenta- tions, an interscholastic one-act play competition, an intramural one-act play contest, and a holiday festival at Christmas. A school dance was also sponsored by the club. Noteworthy among the events transpiring during the year was the formation of the local chapter of a national honorary thespian group. Five students were appointed by Miss Nickerson for their outstanding contributions to organize the charter club in the National Thespian Society. Those signally honored were Albert Bower, George Brandt, John Dumbrille, Claire Heimrod, and Lydia Nlange. For the loyal members of the Players who, although not achieving National Thespian rank, have been steady workers, there are yet other honors reserved. Accord- ing to a well defined point system a pin, silver, or gold key are the respective awards for members gaining ten, twenty, or thirty points for participation in any or all phases of different productions. This year, the students who have earned gold keys are Albert Bower, John Dumbrille, Helen Healy, Claire Heimrod, Lydia Mange, Edward Williams, and William Wright. Those gaining silver keys were George Brandt, Robert Lawren, and Austin Ventres. Pins went to Irene Bander, Annette Baron, Betty Bartholomew, Mary Dick, Marion McPhee, William Pastor, Dorothy Riddell, Charlotte Rowell, Barbara Smith, Albert Swasey, Joseph Talbot, Muriel Underwood, Helen Wade, and Fred Wittig. The first feature production presented by the club was Walter Hackett's Broad- way success of a decade ago, Captain Applejackf' With the actors far surpassing the general standard of a high school group, the play was the hit of the season. It ranks with and above such Junior Players' successes of years gone by as Admirable Crichton, Boomerang, The Belle of Barcelona, Nothing But the Truth, and Pals First. John Dumbrille, in the title role of Ambrose Applejohn, headed an excellent cast that included Claire Heimrod, Helen Healy, George Brandt, Lydia Mange, Robert Lawren, and Isabel Elmore.

Performing brilliantly, the Junior Players gained the silver cup emblematic of the championship. We are proud to print the names of the following cast: Lydia Mange, Albert Bower, William Wright, Andre Baron, Donald Farrar, Robert Busch, and Gilbert Fraunhar. Lydia Mange and Albert Bower were first and second, respectively, in the individual judging for the Great Neck play. On Sunday afternoon, December 20th, the club presented the pageant of the nativity, directed by a student, Lydia Mange. The following participants contributed meritorious performances: Mary Dick, Albert Bower, William Wright, Edward Tintera, Cuyler Ten Eyck, William Pastor, Herbert May, Fred Sauter, Bettie Friedell, Vivian Kopejzna, and Lydia Mange. The members of the Junior and Senior High School Glee Clubs were a feature of the program. Several student productions vied for prizes in an intramural one-act play com- petition with A Night In an Inn gaining the decision. Another interesting activity was the school dance given on January 29th in the gym by the Junior Players. Thus another full year of dramatics comes to a close. With John Dumbrille as president, Robert Lawren as vice-president, and Barbara Smith as secretary- treasurer, the club completed one of the most fruitful years in its existence. It was above all, however, the untiring efforts of the director, Miss Nickerson, that formed a major reason for the successful endeavors of the organization. It is to her the Junior Players pay their sincere tribute. Forensics RIQAT NECK HIGH SCHOOL is famed for its debating teams. The local forensic representatives have compiled enviable records in four years of competition. IXfIr. Harry Hale Smith, coach of last season's team, was compelled to relinquish his post in favor of hir. Francis Bowman, due to the added responsibility of The flrisla. bnder lNIr. Bowmanls able leadership, the Great Neck debaters strengthened their standing among Long Island schools. The team, which is composed of three regular speakers, again competed in the Long Island Interscholastic Debating Association. The Lvnion College Interscholastic Debating Association rates Great Neck as an inactive member. Bennett Frankel, captain of the team and veteran of three years of interscholastic encounters, led the local debaters. A participant in sixteen league debates, Frankel was undefeated until this year. Runner-up in the 1931 Long Island Symposium con- test, Frankel also was a member of the sectional championship trio in the Union league. Robert Lawren, in his second year on the debate team and his first in the local league, performed the outstanding individual accomplishment of the season by Winning the Long Island singles title at blineola. He has participated in six debates and was a member of the Union team. Jason Dryer will represent Great Neck next year in the individual contest. Similar to Lawren,.he has taken part in six engagements. The Long Island cham- pionship representatives of 1931 included Dryer, whose calm, solid style strengthened the team. The question for debate this year was worded as follows: Resolved, that legisla- tion providing for compulsory unemployment insurance, to which the Government, the employer, and the employee shall contribute, should be immediately enacted. Great Neck debated both sides of the question. The first contest of the 1932 season was with Kew-Forest on February 9th in the Great Neck auditorium. Great Neck upheld the affirmative while the visitors as- sumed the negative. The local boys, clearly superior to their opposition, earned a unanimous victory. Inasmuch as Kew Forest later won the North Shore championship, the victory was indicative of Great Neck's forensic ability. Jason Dryer, speaking first for the affirmative, showed that a need for compulsory unemployment insurance existed. Robert Lawren contended compulsory unemploy- ment insurance was practicable. Bennett Frankel, third speaker for the affirmative, pointed out the desirable features of the system. Lawren and Frankel spoke in that order for Great Neck in rebuttal. Great Neck upheld the negative against Roslyn on February 15th at Roslyn. The affirmative team, captained by Allen Carpenter, charged the negative with de- siring the status quo. The negative effectively pointed out that the plan was un- desirable to the employer, employee, and the general public. The keynote of the Great Neck contentions was that compulsory unemployment insurance, in the guise of the cure-all for our manifold industrial ills, would only tend to intensify them. The two judges were in conference for over an hour following the debate in an effort to determine the winning team. The verdict was finally returned in favor of Roslyn. On February 19th, Great Neck again supported the affirmative in its own audi- torium against Chaminade. Chaminade was outclassed in both presentation and ma- terial, but a misunderstanding of the implications of the question worked against the affirmative to give Chaminade a 2-1 victory. Chaminade challenged Greaft Neck to outline a plan. Great Neck purposely evaded the challenge as the debate was based on the principles of compulsory unemployment insurance and not the admini- strative details. It might be added that Kew Forest defeated both Roslyn and Chaminade. The last debate was with Sewanhaka, Great Neck upholding the negative. The climax of the forensic season came in the individual contest. Robert Lawren, Great Neck representative, handicapped by a severe cold, qualified for the finals by placing third in the Nassau County eliminations at Oceanside on March 15th. Speaking last at Mirieola, Friday night, March 18th, Lawren was in particularly good form and defeated debaters from three counties to gain the Long Island championship. Assuming the negative, Lawren demonstrated convincingly in his main speech that compulsory unemployment insurance is economically fallacious. In an able re- buttal, Lawren argued that compulsory unemployment insurance would be inflicting a permanent evil to cure temporarily disordered conditions following the World War. A cup donated by the Long Island Chamber of Commerce and a diamond studded gold key was presented to the Great Neck speaker for his efforts. Bennett Frankel and Jason Dryer will be back next year to form the nucleus of the 1933 team. THE ORCHESTRA , fiii Q f THE BOYS' AND GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Musical Organizations HE musical department of Great Neck High School can well lay claim to the title of one of the finest secondary units of its kind in the local region. An adept student twenty-seven piece orchestra, an excellent forty-five piece band, and two proficient glee clubs comprise the musical organizations that have attained recognition both in the school and the community. Mr. Howard Prutting, formerly from Blount Vernon High School, in his first year as director of the local band and orchestra, effected marked improvements. Playing at all school assemblies and other important functions, the orchestra per- formed With great distinction under Mr. Prutting's direction. Noteworthy among the orchestra's appearances during the year were at the various Dramatics Club pre- sentations, notably Captain Applejacku and Seven Chancesug the Christmas pageant, and the American Legion Washingtoii Bi-centennial celebration. The orchestra cul- minated its active year with a concert in assembly. The members of the orchestra follow: Pianist: Adelaide Riecker.

In the fall, the organization lent zest to football contests, in the winter, basketball games and wrestling matches received the band's supportg and in the spring, the group played at other athletic engagements. The members of the combined Senior and Junior Bands follow: Trumpets: Fred Ritter, Robert Haggart, Julian Baranousky, Dominick Dennis, Donald Little, Frank Hope, Robert Morrison, Mills Pogue, Fred Wittig, Charles Novak, Charles Still- man, Franklin Love.

Composed of gifted students, the clubs, under the direction of Miss Alice Sorensen, were trained in voice building, reading scores, Working for tone quality, blending of voices, harmony, and preparation of program material. The club's first performance was at the Christmas vesper service, in which the Glee Clubs and the orchestra assisted the Dramatics Club in The Nativity. A special program was arranged during Nlarch for a private concert before an invited group. The members of the clubs are: Boys: Andre Baron, Fernand Caillaud, Arthur Cowles, Henry Cook, Charles Harlow, john Doble, Robert Mallon, VVilliam Pastor, Gilbert Penfold, Fred Sauter.

Regents credit is given in the Niusic Department. Q'-an TIIF AIR1ST.l AND GUIDE POST STAFFS Ournalism N the academic year of 1931-32, three departments of journalistic endeavor existed in Great Neck High School. Eighteen issues of the representative newspaper, The Guide Post, appeared bi-weekly as edited by a student staff. The Arista, an annual publication, was compiled by members of the graduating class. A curricular guide book, The Almanac, was published under the sponsorship of the special group studying journalism for course credit. journalism, a comparatively new subject, taught by Mr. Harry Hale Smith, faculty adviser of all student publications, was included in the high school curriculum in order to keep pace with the modern trend in practical newspaper Writing. Although generally reserved for post-graduate college study, the Journalism class served as an introduction and stimulus to further development in the study of editing, make-up, copy reading, and editorial writing, which are only a few of the innumerable branches offered. A large portion of the course does not concern itself with the actual problems of writing but might be better classified as instruction in news reading. Both The Guide Port and the journalism class supplemented each other, the school organ afford- ing concrete experience and the newspaper course drilling in fundamentals. That the training received in the class proved invaluable to The Guide Post was evidenced by the excellency of the paper. While staff members are not required to take journalism, the most valuable participants were drawn from the class ranks. The Guide Post, olhcial chronicle of school events, was published fortnightly under the auspices of the General Organization. The school year of 1931-32 wit- nessed the third in the journal's existence. Growing rapidly from a four-page, three- column paper, it has developed into a five-column sheet varying from four to eight pages each issue. The Guide Post, an organ wielding probably more influence in school life than any other organization, has just cause for pride in the calibre which the staH displayed and the appreciative manner with which the enterprise has been received. Due to the consistent excellence of The Guide Post, last year's Second place in the national competitions conducted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Association was duplicated. The Guide Post belongs to both groups. In gaining second position in the Columbia association, the point total was increased to within a very few tallies of first place ranking. The production of a paper of the size of The Guide Post, which averages over twenty-two twelve-inch columns per issue, in an institution with an attendance of less than a thousand, is a constantly recurring task. Although Sales were a trifle below former standards, income from advertisements proved a sufficiently lucrative source to insure the continuation of the paper.

STUDENT PVBLICATIONS: THE NEVVSPAPER AND THE HANDBOOK 68 The Arista has been edited and published by the senior class for the past four years. Briefly, it is a concise and accurate record of the happenings during the school term. It is not published for profit. Its sole function is to serve as a book of remem- brance. With Mr. Smith sponsoring the work, the yearbook staff believes it has accomplished its task creditably. The money raised to finance the publication came from advertising and sitting fees. Patrons very generously contributed a percentage of the needed funds. The selling price covered only half of the cost. A committee appointed by the senior class selected the Arista board. The fol- lowing staff assisted Bert Linder, chairman of the board: ROBERT LAWREN' .......................................................,.,....,......................... ............,..............

The entire class aided either by assisting the sales campaign or contributing pertinent material. The student's handbook, published for the first time during the spring semester, is a small, convenient booklet containing information regarding courses offered in the curriculum. It thus is intended as a help to the students formulating a well-planned high school course. Jean lVIcGleughlin was appointed editor. Mr. Harry Hale Smith, who has had experience directing student publications in secondary institutions all over the United States, sponsored Great Neck High journalistic efforts with brilliant success. The rapid strides that the paper and year- book have made within the two-year period he has been with us form a fitting tribute to Mr. Smith's ability. Journalism, a comparatively recent field, is already far advanced in the local institution. The Guide Post, The Arista, and The Almanac are three fine publica- tions functioning so splendidly that it is a mild prediction to term the future in journalism at Great Neck High School as decidedly promising. ,N 'WN W ,X -- s- A - f p.-,.-.., . ,ae 4' X M- ,, Jf. fi S ' ' H 7' i x ff A ' 4.

Contrary to other school organizations, membership is open to only a select circle. Students are admitted by vote according to their qualifications, similar to the method used by honorary fraternities. The club now numbers twenty-five boys, seventeen of whom were initiated this year. VVith hir. Colvin as adviser, the organization conducted weekly meetings. Bi- weekly, the group held its business assemblage in the Arrandale School, while, on alternate weeks, social gatherings were scheduled at the homes of the individual members. During these informal congregations, the club either entertained outside speakers or participated in general discussions of important current topics. The local figures who have contributed to the Hi-Y programs this year include Rev. llaclienzie, Rev. lllcliechnie, and Coach Sears. The big Hi-Y function of the fall term and, for that matter, both terms, was the annual banquet in December. lllr. Dodge, hir. High, illr. Brown, and Coach Sears were among the speakers at the dinner tendered for the gridmen before more than eighty undergraduates. john Anderson acted as toastmaster for the Hi-Y Club. A similar affair was held in honor of the basketball team. Elections for odicers were conducted semi-annually. The officers the first semes- ter, l'resident .lack lfckardt, Vice-President Charles lfrank, xlr., Secretary lvilliani Rhodes, and Treasurer Robert lfckardt, were succeeded the second semester by l'Villiam Rhodes, president: Charles Frank, Jr., vice-presidentg lfdward Cody, secretaryg and Robert lfckardt, treasurer. THE LENS, SKETCH, AND CRAFT CLFBS filet. 'I Lens Club HE organization of the Lens Club brought many embryo photographers into our midst. Under Mr. Lusch's guidance, the members, who may have been seen lugging their trusty Kodaks to various points of scenic interest, have ac- complished much in this form of pictorial art. Every phase of photography has been studied by the members, the taking of the pictures, developing the negative, printing the positive, and the very jargon itself. At present the club welcomes the advent of new students interested in learning the in- tricacies of photography. The organization met every other Tuesday in the Physics Laboratory with Austin Ventres as president, Herbert May as vice-president, and Roberta Hamann as secretary- treasurer. There were no dues, and the trips which have been taken have been sub- scribed to by the students themselves. Jimmy Love and Frank Priest, members of the club, have been active on the Arista Staff as photographers. In other activities, the members have donated their services where photographic work has been necessary. The Sketch Club LTHOUGH one of the smallest groups in the school, the Sketch Club ranks among the most unique. It is an organization composed of students both inter- ested and talented in drawing. Its purpose is not only to improve technique through cooperative efforts, but is also intended as a stimulus to art appreciation. Members need not be interested in an art course to participate in this activity. During the past year, the club has met with Miss Steiner weekly. Included on the program of these youthful artists were many interesting features which are gen- erally not treated extensively in secondary training. The club sketched from live modelsg several students posed in costume during the course of the academic year. A detailed study of the human head was undertaken as a special semester endeavor. The results of this work have been exhibited in Miss Steiner's room. The club does not elect officers. Craft Club HIS year the Craft Club has been a very small but determined group, meeting weekly under the supervision of Miss Steiner. It aims primarily to teach the members arts and crafts. The work accomplished has been constructive and of much value. It has been chiefly on hand etched, hammered silver bracelets, and copper book-ends. Miss Steiner did not wish to stress the jewelry work, but the selection of handicraft was left to the individual. As is true of the Sketch Club, an art course is not a requisite for membership. Any student to whom this type of endeavor appeals, is welcome to join. The Sketch and Craft clubs are businesslike in that they are intent on accomplishing something of a progressive nature in art. Nevertheless, they have felt that they had no need for officers. A feature of the organization of the Craft Club which makes conscientious at- tendance at meetings almost compulsory is that two absences automatically drop one from the club. K THE BFNSEN BITRNERS , i W nmglli 4A 111. lzfzs 'm.L if b , : ' E H. , Li .L A 1' THE GENERAL SCIENCE CLUB R9 Y' The Bunsen Burners HE Bunsen Burners, the chemistry club among the extra-curricular organiza- tions, has become one of the most prominent groups in Great Neck High. In no small measure this accomplishment may be attributed to the constantly inter- esting activities undertaken at club meetings and the untiring interest exhibited by the sponsor, lVIr. Brunner, who, as head of the science department, was a steady source of inspiration to the large number of youthful chemists enlisted from the chemistry classes and the student body in general. The aim of the organization is to present work of an interesting nature in chemistry along with discussions and demonstrations which cannot possibly be included in regular class periods. In addition to the regular programs conducted at the meetings, the Bunsen Burners presented a scientific film before the school in February. The club has also visited the nearby museums and factories containing pertinent material. One feature that proved a factor in the club's success was the total absence of dues. The officers, who were elected at the first meeting, are Robert Eckardt, presidentg Bert Linder, vice-president, and Albert Bower, secretary. The General Science Club HE General Science Club is composed chiefly of freshmen students enrolled in the General Science course. As an opportunity for the students to gain the actual experience of executing for themselves the scientific experiments and demonstrations not included in class routine, the club has rendered an invaluable service. Under the expert supervision of Mr. Colvin and Mr. Hutchinson, the group has progressed in varied endeavors. One of the outstanding activities of the club was the weekly Saturday excursions to points of scientific interest. Among the trips, several transatlantic liners, including the Majestic, were visited. The Museum of Science and Industries and the Natural History Museum proved of inexhaustible interest, repeated visits having been taken to view different exhibits. During the club sessions the first real contact with experimental science was experienced by the members. A model steam turbine held the center for some time. The big feature, however, was Exhibition Day, to which the seventh grade home- rooms were invited. On each laboratory table a club member staged and conducted working demonstrations. The display was continued for two days. The General Science Club numbers over thirty. Franklin Leto is president and Elsie Bander secretary-treasurer. THE JUNIOR RED CROSS CLUB CS? Niilvi' THE DOMECON CLUB www L: ,, The Junior Red Cross Club S an afliliate of the National Red Cross, the Great Neck High chapter of the Junior Red Cross Clubs contributed to the school community a small but active group of girls under Miss Goehler's leadership. This year, the local organization concentrated its social service efforts in the school itself. Mrs. Bowen, the dean, and Miss Steele, the nurse, acted as intermediaries to provide glasses for boys and girls needing them. In this manner, those students requiring aid were able to preserve their anonymity. The club, in addition to its school activities, raised funds for a party given at the day nursery. A trip to the Red Cross chapter house in Mineola was also undertaken. The officers for the first semester were Helen Kopejzna, presidentg Elsie Bander, vice-presidentg Sophie Zakarka, secretaryg and Geraldine Usoskin, treasurer. The second term oliicers were Sylvia Friedlander, presidentg Nancy Wood, vice-presidentg Miriam Haussman, secretary, and Helen Kopejzna, treasurer. The Domecon Club HE Domecon Club, which is supplementary to classes in Home Economics, admits only girls to membership. While the club draws almost exclusively from students studying Home Economics, an active interest in this form of activity is the only accepted admittance requirement. The organization, led by Miss Goehler, the staff adviser, professed a twofold purpose in planning the weekly meetings. The purely educational element was skill- fully blended with informal socializing. Several members of the faculty, as guests of the Domecon Club, were among the roster of speakers who addressed the group throughout the year. At Christmas, the Domecon Club contributed to the holiday spirit by dispatching through the district nurse a box of provisions to a family in want. The organization scheduled trips to the Good Housekeeping Institute and Home Making center. It is now afliliated with the National and State Home Economics Clubs. The oflicers for the first term were Eleanore Baar, presidentg Dorothy Renke, vice-president, Mary Neubert, secretaryg and Mary Cezeski, treasurer. 'For the second semester the student staff was Eleanore Baar, president, Maureen Farrell, vice-president, Marjorie Nlallon, secretary, and Mary Neubert, treasurer. 'Q-NW? ex kt Leaf SQUAD THE FOOTBALL ig- if -xqsqg Q y V2 Bale-.-.1i 9 5'5 Boys' Athletics N 1931-32, as in no other year previous to it, was there so wide a range of repre- sentative Orange and Blue teams. Football, basketball, baseball, track, wrestling, soccer, cross country, and tennis were among the many athletic activities in which Great Neck High boys participated. One of the outstanding occurrences of the sports program was the addition of Earl H. Chamberlain to the coaching corps. Mr. Chamberlain, who piloted the soccer, basketball and track outfits, proved invaluable as a source of inspiration and guidance to the boys working with him. Mr. H. Clifford Sears, holding the football, wrestling, and baseball assignments, again headed the coaching stafl. Mr. Irving E. Brown, di- rector of physical education in Great Neck schools, supplemented his duties by training the cross country and tennis teams. Mr. Francis Bowman was the midget mentor for the second year. With the football eleven encountering the largest batch of unfortunate breaks ever met by an Orange and Blue grid team, the 1931 record of three games won, three tied, and three lost against the stiffest opposition on the island represented a distinct achievement. The booters, taking second place in the North Shore loop, garnered five matches as against two deadlocks and three defeats. The cross country team, led by Stewart Kennedy, captured five out of six meets and performed creditably in the Long Island invitation competition. The courtmen, under Mr. Chamberlain, completed a highly successful slate in repulsing thirteen opponents while dropping only live engagements. The grapplers again gained the mythical Long Island mat title with ten decisive triumphs and a lone defeat. The following section describes in greater detail the record and accomplishments of each team. 79 Q- 1 'Q INTERESTING MOMENTS Football ANDICAPPED by the late start of school and by the loss of many veterans of last year's championship eleven, the Great Neck High School gridmen, coached by H. Clifford Sears, nevertheless compiled a noteworthy record in Long Island competition. The local representatives won three, lost three, and tied three engagements in encountering the stiffest opposition ever scheduled by a football team wearing the Orange and Blue. The Polo Road aggregation continued the string of victories amassed in the past two years up until the final two scheduled games. The Searsmen trounced Far Rock- away 9-0, Hicksville 19-6, and Mineola 14-O. The strong Lawrence eleven, Port Washington, and Manhasset, Great Neck's traditional foe, knotted their encounters. Glen Cove, with the strongest machine developed in the local region for years, snapped the local elevenys triumphant streak, 15-0, in a torrid struggle. The last-slated con- test of the season saw Baldwin eke out a 6-0 last minute victory. Valley Stream toppled the local boys, 6-0, in a post-season battle waged on Thanksgiving Day for the unemployed. Great Neck revenged the only blotch on its 1930 record when Far Rockaway held the Searsmen to a deadlock. With the much vaunted offense clicking on all cylinders, Great Neck blanked the visitors, 9-0, after two weeks of preliminary train- ing. Lawrence brought to Great Neck the following Saturday a collection reputed to be very powerful. Deprived of the services of their captain, who broke his ankle at the start of the second half, the Great Neck boys, aroused to a fighting fury, staved oil the Lawrence threat and knotted the engagement at 0-0. As the acting captain tallied three touchdowns, the Great Neck eleven trimmed Hicksville on the home gridiron, 19-6. It was a typical football day, and, although Hicksville outrushed Great Neck, a fumble and two intercepted passes gave Great l , 2.'f35e l . - .44 IN THE LAVVRENCE GAME Neck the game. Port Vvashington, employing two daring thrusts, gained a 7-7 dead- lock with the local eleven on Portls field. Great Neck lcd, 7-0, by virtue of a pair of passes and a placement kick after the touchdown. The home forces scored on an unexpected double pass that caught the Searsmen napping. A superbly executed toss procured the all-important extra point. Another glorious chapter in the Great Neck-hianhasset rivalry became history on Election Day when two inspired elevens met on Maiihassetls gridiron and, after four torrid sessions of thrilling, tingling, superb football, the home forces fought the undefeated Searsmen to a 13-13 decision in one of the finest, if not the most spec- tacular battle ever waged between the two traditional foes. It is safe to predict that in future years the memory of this stirring encounter will remain fresh in the minds of the colorful throng of four thousand who witnessed it on a warm day early in November. It is safe to predict that not soon will be for- gotten the inspiring feats of a powerful Great Neck collection which had been pre- viously visited with several heartrending mishaps. Not soon will be forgotten the superb rushing of Herbert Gregory, who scored both of the Orange and Blue touch- downs, and the dogged performance of the Great Neck forward wall. Not soon will be forgotten Anthony Krauch's blocking of Catsonas's placement kick for the crucial extra point, following Paul Piatti's spectacular 66-yard dash, nor will Great Neck's superb third period drive that swept down the field like a tidal wave pass easily into the limbo of every day affairs. Nor will lVIanhasset's superb stand in the shadow of its own goal, where Great Neck's march was halted, only to have the visitors push back again for a touchdown, remain in the category of drab, monotonous events. There were thrills galore generously spread throughout the struggle. Great Neck scored in the first period on a steady drive with Herb Gregory lugging the pigskin e wiv ' 4 f- for the touchdown. The try for extra point failed. Manhasset took to the air to tally its initial touchdown early in the second quarter. Gus Catsonas made his kick good and Great Neck was in the ruck, 7-6. Manhasset desperately repulsed Great Neck's sallies in the third session, but could not hold the Searsmen when another drive succeeded early in the last stanza. Herb Gregory again carried the ball and barely went over the goal stripe to obtain the extra point on a rush. Fighting bit- terly, Ken L'Hommediu dropped back to his eight-yard line and dispatched a pass to the thirty-four-yard marker, where Paul Piatti leaped among Great Neck's sec- ondary defense and sped the remaining sixty-six yards amid the acclaim of the Man- hasset adherents. With the score knotted at 13--13, Anthony Krauch pierced the line to block Catsonas's try for the margin of victory. Thus ended a great contest, one of the most stirring ever waged between Great Neck and Manhasset. The Searsmen had little trouble in administering a 14-0 setback to the Mineola gridmen on the losers' field. Herb Gregory, tallying both touchdowns, again starred with his line rushes and superb defensive play. Great Neck held the championship Glen Cove eleven scoreless on the home gridiron until the end of the third period when the visitors broke through for a safety. Two tallies followed in the final quarter to make the count 15-0, and to snap Great Neck's undefeated string. A poor pass cost the local representatives a 6-0 downfall at the hands of Baldwin High in the last minute. Great Neck clearly outplayed its opponent and received an unfortunate break in the loss. The Orange and Blue dropped another 6-0 decision in a post-season encounter with the strong Valley Stream eleven. Here again the Searsmen, victims of the breaks of the game, were superior to the victors. Great Neck boasted a versatile backiield corps. The captain, an all-around star, was lost the majority of the season due to the ankle injury suffered in the Lawrence game, and materially affected the local grid performances by his absence. The acting captain took over quarterback and was an efficient field leader. Captain-elect Gregory's brilliant rushing stood out consistently. Other backfield men who starred were Clarence Lipsky, Dale Scott, Raymond Proflitt, Robert Barber, and Edward Cody. The linemen, owing to graduation, were for the most part replacements. Those who contributed 'brilliant work were William Wynperle, Edward Frank, Thomas Dugan, Peter Gragis, John Morrow, Gilbert Penfold, Joseph Brown, Clarence Lipsky, Dale Scott, Harrison Bettes, Arthur Cowles, and Adrian Spear.

For those who did not see action in the major engagements either as substi- tutes or regulars, the junior varsity provided assignments. Although the J. V.'s were chiefly used to condition the first team, the second string encountered the Valley Stream seconds in the only meeting of the season. The local forces derived much encouragement out of a 0-0 deadlock, since Valley Stream has always been Great Neck's big threat.

F RED RITTER, FRANKLIN MARKS 83 THE SOCCER TEAM , is c fi 9-W2-'QKW Soccer ITH the advent of Coach Chamberlain, Great Neck High developed a soccer team of championship caliber. Many members of the eleven were rated as veterans and soon fitted in with the new mentor's tactics. Following two weeks of training, the Orange and Blue opened its slate by repulsing Flushing High, 2 to 0. The succeeding week, the squad traveled to Sea Cliff and, engaging in the first league game, held the home eleven to a scoreless tie. The team's next victim was Farmingdaleg the local booters prevailing, 2-l. With two victories and one knotted fracas, the Polo Road boys met the heavy Oyster Bay eleven in a battle for the league leadership. Although outweighed ten pounds to the man, Great Neck held the Bay outfit to a l-l tie. The team's initial defeat came from the hands of the Long Island title holders, Rockville Centre, in a non-league fray. The score at the end of a hectic sixty minute tussle was 2 to 1. The first game of the lower half of the schedule again witnessed the locals bow- ing before Rockville Centre by a one goal margin. Centre gained a 1-0 decision. Great Neck made up for the defeat when, in encountering Sea Cliff for a return match, Coach Chamberlain's charges sent the visiting boys home on the short end of a 3-0 count. The first Great Neck soccer squad to invade the city limits, the team again trounced Flushing by administering a 3-0 setback. On the coldest day of the season, the boys journeyed to Farmingdale to record another 3-0 triumph. Following the Farmingdale victory, the team trained intensively for two weeks under Coach Chamberlain's tutelage in preparation for the big test with Oyster Bay involving the league title. The first half of the encounter saw the two outfits battle to a scoreless tie. In the third period, the Bay representatives slipped through the only tally of the contest. Great Neck retaliated with its cleverest rushes and brilliant passwork, but could not dent the strong defense of the visitors. Thus was climaxed a noteworthy season for the local eleven with one of the cleanest and torridly con- tested battles ever witnessed on the Great Neck field. In justice to the team it should be recorded that Captain Franklin Feuerstein, who was perhaps the best goalie in the loop, suffered a broken ankle in the Rock- ville Centre fracas and was lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Captain-elect John Johnson, as center forward, proved the pivot of the Great Neck attack. The other members of the forward line, who contributed consistently brilliant work were Kenneth Kraft, Raymond Smith, Donald Kavanaugh, and William Kraft. Leonard Richheimer, Charles Becker, and Edward Holtorf proved star half- backs and Raymond Proffitt, John Slocum, and William Reilly performed nobly in the fullback posts.

Garnering thirteen victories and only five defeats, the quintet recorded the best performance in five years of local court teams. The Orange and Blue courtmen subdued Baldwin, 14-13, on the loser's floor for the team's initial triumph on December 15th. The strong Far Rockaway quintet bowed to Great Neck in the home gym to the tune of 26--16. Coach Chamberlain's charges conquered Hempstead, 31-15, at Great Neck to extend their string to three consecutive victories. Valley Stream, South Shore champions, toppled the local boys, 32-19, at Valley Stream. In a return meeting, Far Rockaway reversed the verdict of the initial en- counter by tripping up Great Neck, 20-12, on the victorls court. Before a capacity crowd in the Great Neck gymnasium, the Polo Road lads sent their traditional rival, Manhasset, reeling with a 27-9 drubbing in the first league fray of the season. Richmond Hill was the next victim, falling before the Orange and Blue, 19-12. Mineola, aided by several lucky breaks, edged out Great Neck, 12-10, in a tight defensive game waged on Mineola's floor. The encounter was a North Shore league fray. Great Neck journeyed to Port Washington for the next contest, also a league fracas. Port offered stiff opposition, but the local five prevailed, 20-16. Glen Cove was the scene of the seventh Great Neck triumph. The Orange and Blue courtmen went on a scoring spree to upset the Covers, 31-8. Richmond Hill put up a strong fight in a return encounter on the home grounds but Great Neck shaded the Hill Toppers, 30-28. Offering evidence of that extra scoring punch, Great Neck gained another verdict by the margin of two points. Oceanside fell victim to the local attack on the home court, 16-14. The Orange and Blue quintet repeated its triumph earlier in the season by trouncing Manhasset, 28-12, in a league engagement at Manhasset. Hemp- stead bowed for the second time during the slate by a 17 to 12 count. Port Washington repulsed the league leading Mineola machine to throw Great Neck into a deadlock for the league lead. As a result, the local gym was packed when Mineola travelled here for the crucial return match. Great Neck forged ahead, 9-5, at half time, but the attack and defense fell to pieces in the third and fourth sessions, Mineola earning a 23-13 victory. Port, in an anti-climatic struggle on the Great Neck floor, pushed Coach Cham- berlain's five into third place with a 26-Zl decision. Oceanside prolonged the slump by downing Great Neck, 29-19, as revenge for the previous defeat suffered at the hands of the Orange and Blue. Great Neck crushed Glen Cove, 26-9, in the final fray of the season. Fred Lichtward, star forward, was high scorer and proved a valuable addition to the team. johnny Thorsen, center, Clarence Lipsky, guard, Johnny Kachapis, guardg and the captain rounded out the first five. The J. V.'s gave promise of much good material for next year's quintet by winning nine games out of thirteen. Luke Travis, Alvin Schulz, Walter Ninesling, Chester Oates, Courtier Parsons, George Hawkins, Edward Cody, Peter Victor, An- thony Gatavinski, Peter Gruden, and Stewart Kennedy, the remaining members of the squad, contributed brilliant work. VVRESTLING SQVAD BOXING SQUAD Wrestling HE grapplers, coached by H. Clifford Sears, swept aside all Long Island com- petition this year to gain another island title. The Great Neck boys swamped ten wrestling outfits and dropped their first engagement in two years to St. Paul's, a team which the locals downed in the first of a pair of matches. Among the per- formers that stood out consistently for Great Neck were Dave Powers, undefeated in the 125-pound classy Bill Binciewicz, in the ll5-pound classg Ray Proffitt, in the l35-pound division, and Captain Bill Wyiiperle, in the unlimited weight. The boys who wrestled in interscholastic competitions were Binciewicz, Bruce Minnick, Robert lVIallon, and Herbert Meyers, in the ll5-pound classy Dave Powers and Bill Grauer in the l25-pound classy Ray Profiitt, Fred Rowse, and John Dum- brille in the 135-pound classg Dan VVright, Harrison Bettes, and Ed Willianis in the 145-pound classy jimmy Grub in the 155-pound classg John hlorrow and Ed Holtorf in the l65-pound classy And1'e Baron in the l75-pound classg and VVilliam VVynperle in the unlimited division.

Over twenty boys reported to Coach Chamberlain for ring sessions. The keen interest exhibited and the wealth of material on hand were indications of an excellent 1933 team should the Orange and Blue discover local schools fostering the sport. It is hoped that the reawakening interest in the school will act as a stimulus for similar movements in neighboring schools. The big event in the boxing calendar transpired during the Father and Son Night when the boxers shared the spotlight with the matmen. The following pairs staged no-decision bouts: Ed Ketcham and George Hawkins, Art Cowles and Roy Starr. Joe Brown and Adrian Spear, Edwin Arbotowitch and Donald Bangert, Emanuel Seff and Fred Peterson, Fred Kinch and Jack Dennin, and Al Ketcham and Bruce Minnick. THE CROSS COFNTRY Tl2AlVl Cross Country HE Great Neck cross country team of 1931 continued its brilliant performance of former years with a season that recorded five triumphs out of six encounters and an eleventh in the Long Island meet. The local harriers repulsed Port Jefferson twice, La Salle M. A. once, Valley Stream once, and prevailed in the Nassau county triangular meet. The teamys sole defeat was inflicted by Southampton in the first engagement of the season. Stewart Kennedy, by annexing five first places, bolstered his standing as one of the leading harriers in Long Island interscholastic competition. Fred Lichtward gar- nered four second places and Ronald Simpson, captain-elect, was credited with one second and five thirds out of six starts. Cther point winners who will be back next year are David Levitt, Jerry Morrison, and Leonard Morrison. The twelve boys who received their insignia are Stewart Kennedy, captain, Ronald Simpson, captain- elect, Fred Lichtward, David Levitt, Jerry Morrison, VVilliam Wright, Leonard Morrison, Robert Hughes, Donald Bangert, Lloyd Willianis, Bruce Minnick, Fred Rowse, and Edward Willianms, manager. Irving E. Brown again piloted the harriers. y- . . .. . cs..- . , THE TRACK TEANI Track 1TH the 1931 championship track outfit almost completely dismantled, Coach Chamberlain had a difficult task to develop cinder-men of outstanding timber. Chester Oates, captain and Long Island high jump title holder, together with the captain of the basketball five, who gained the North Shore -1-40 yard run title, formed the nucleus of a collection composed for the most pa1't of inexperienced material. Fd Cody, in the 100 yard dash and the hurdles, was a bright prospect. .lim Frazer, a sophomore, proved a find for the 220 yard dash and the discus throw. Stewart Kennedy, veteran harrier, was expected to sweep aside all oppostion in his specialty, the mile run, while Ronald Simpson, another hill topper, led the 880 yard run candidates. Don Kavanaugh, Dick Renshaw, Dave Levitt, and Bob Busch were other prominent aspirants in the track events. Luke Travis drew the pole vault assignment with Bill Goss second in line. Herbert Gregory developed into the leading local shot put hurler and Chester Oates added the running broad jump to his laurels. The team was carded to compete in the North Shore and Long Island meets as well as local dual and triangular engagements. Frank Priest is manager. Baseball HE loss of but three veterans from the 1931 nine augured well for the Orange and l3lue's fortunes on the diamond during the 1932 season. VVith Captain Bob Clarke and Bob llleade, star twirlers, unavailable due to graduation, Coach Sears found himself burdened with an imposing hurling problem. To fill the breach created by Clarke and lN'Ieade's absence, the coach converted last year's first string catcher to mound duty. This move proved to be a successful stroke and strengthened the flinging department considerably. Greer, Gatavinski, Cook, and Bangert also displayed promise. Carroll, Reilly, and Richheimer divided the backstop assignment. Bill Slocum again covered the initial sack, Captain Seagrotte led the second base candidates. .lack Slocum and lliarks fought it out for the shortstop call, while Hawkins, a new addition, guarded the hot corner. Other infield aspirants included Adams, llichel, and Seff. ' , - e ' YVatkins and Gregory gained their posts in the outer garden as Gruden filled in the vacancy left by Johnny Thorsen. Together, the trio comprised a heavy hitting outfield. The team, following annual cus- tom, competed in the North Shore cir- cuit, numbering among its opponents THE BASEBALL TEAM lfanhasset, lN'Iineola, Port YVashington, and Glen Cove. The Searsmen also met Hempstead, Valley Stream, and Sewanhaka. Rudolf Gebhart was reappointed manager. Boys, Tennis VER twenty-five boys responded to the call for tennis issued late in 1VIarcl1. Four of the five first team racquet wielders of the 1931 undefeated varsity graduated to leave a wide breach. The material proved to be promising and another successful season was anticipated. 1 Captain Douglas Henderson, Lloyd Doughty and Robert Bielaski, finalists in the state doubles tourney, and Williain Habermehl were lost to the 1932 collection. Courtier Parsons, number four man last season, occupied premier position this year and captained the squad. Parsons won the Maine State junior net title during the summer and, exhibiting great improvement, was expected to defeat his opponents with little difficulty. Fred Lichtward, who played in one doubles match against Hicksville the previous season, has also displayed rapid strides in form. He should rate number two man and pair with Parsons in the doubles. The basketball captain, joint holder of the Great Neck public courts doubles title, should complete the trio of singles per- formers and compete in the doubles. Other bright prospects included Frederick Adams, John Morrow, William Grauer, and Bert Linder. A full slate has been scheduled for the racquet Wielders. From fourteen to six- teen matches have been carded with such teams as St. Paul's, Port Washingtoii, Man- hasset, Friends Academy, Hicksville, and Hempstead. Other engagements were later added to the schedule. The North Shore singles and doubles tournaments were again held on the Great Neck courts. Irving E. Brown coached the tennis squad. Robert Lawren was in his second year as manager. THE CHEER LEADERS THE TENNIS TEAM COACH SEARS CS I IRLS' ATHLET G ACTIVITIES IN THE VARIED Wg-,N at W .Q Y- , ,vu ,VXSSS ea?-ly sed Girls' Athletics HE year in girls, athletics developed along distinctly modern trends in physical education. With Miss Catherine Dreher and Mrs. llflarion Reading, new supervisors, as exponents of this advanced system, the organization and success of the Girls' Athletic Association was not only the outstanding achievement of the year, but, because of the beneficial effects obtained, overshadowed any other accomplish- ment in girls' sports at Great Neck High within recent times. Wllile the records compiled in interscholastic competition were not particularly brilliant, the intramural program represented a definite advance in personal hygiene. The inauguration of a point system, with merits awarded for team participation and physical care, captured the interest of the average girl, who is in need of physical at- tention to a greater degree than members of teams. Instead of athletics for the ath- letic, instead of athletics for the select few that have the ability and stamina to com- pose the competing groups, athletics for girls in Great Neck High was established on a broad scale to fit the varied requirements of the great majority. As a direct result, there was greater general participation in girls' sports than ever before. It was felt that this accomplishment is of more lasting benefit than the actual development of championship teams. It was also felt that, with the ground- work firmly entrenched this year, the wide interest in girls' athletics would soon act by itself as a foundation for victorious representative squads. Interscholastic sports found the Great Neck High girls waging engagements in hockey, basketball, and tennis. Archery and baseball were among the additional intra- mural activities. 95 THE HOCKEY TEAM Q ,ie Q izzfr s c Hockey HEN the call for hockey sounded this fall, an eager squad of fifty girls turned out for practice under the guidance of Miss Catherine Dreher. With an abundance of green material and the team considerably weakened by gradua- tion, Miss Dreher encountered two staggering obstacles to the development of a championship eleven. Although the team won only one engagment out of six games, the season viewed generally may be termed highly satisfactory, judging from student interest and the groundwork laid for future outfits. From the large turnout, Miss Dreher whittled the squad down to twenty-five girls, including seven veterans. Those from the 1930 aggregation were Captain Louise Richards, Edith Schippers, Paula Boynton, and Sarah Oxman of the regulars, and Adele Hansen, Edith Balsys, and Ethel Ninesling of the squad. Among the most promising new additions who made the first string were Constance Herbert, center forwardg Marie Daly, inside right forward: Edwina Armstrong, right wingg Lois Hunter, left fullback, Emily Joseph, right fullbackg Katherine Farrell, right halfbackg Florence Stadulis, left fullback, and Sophie Zakarka, goalkeeper.

SOPHIE ZAKARKA The Great Neck girls encountered the strong Port Washington eleven for their initial engagement of the season. The Port team led, 2-0, at half time, and added three tallies in the second chapter to gain a 5-0 decision. VVoodmere defeated the local representatives, 5-1, in a contest closer than the score indicates. Edwina Armstrong netted the Great Neck goal. The attack clicked in the following match and the Orange and Blue repulsed Mineola, 3-1, with Marie Daly, Constance Herbert, and Edith Schippers countering. In a return game, Great Neck held Port VVashington to a 2-0 verdict. Hemp- stead tripped up the Great Neck High girls, 5-l, as Adele Hansen contributed the local tally. The closing fray of the season witnessed a stirring encounter between Sewanhaka and Great Neck. The first half ended in a scoreless deadlock. However, Sewanhaka's star left wing slipped through two counters in the latter half for a 2-0 victory. An added feature of the hockey season was Interclass contests and Orange team and Blue team games. The juniors shaded the Freshmen, 3-2, to inaugurate the intramural slate. Adele Hansen, Constance Herbert, and Jean Russell scored the Junior markers and Jessie Lee and Bertha Klim tallied for the losers. The Sopho- mores topped the Seniors by the same count, 3-2, with Marie Daly chalking up two goals and Marjorie Mallon the other for the victors and Ethel Ninesling and Betty Lee countering the Senior scores. The Juniors and Sophomores met in the deciding clash, battling to a 2-2 tie. Jean Russell and Constance Herbert sent the Juniors away to a 2-0 lead in the first half, but the Sophomores came back in the second half, to knot the fracas, Marie Daly and Katherine Farrell procuring the goals. The Orange and Blue teams waged two deadlocks at 3-3 and l-l. Ann Gorelik managed the hockey team.

Sk S 51 5 E M 5 E 'S Q Q2 Girls' Basketball LTHOUGH the girls' basketball team did not have a successful season in the North Shore League, basketball as an activity flourished. Interclass competition drew large turnouts and attracted considerable attention. Under the supervision of Miss Dreher and Mrs. Reading, the girls of the school were divided into two groups, the Orange and the Blue. Sarah Oxman captained the Orange while Madeline Gamble led the Blues. Through these opposing factions, much interest in the court game was stimulated. Ushering in the varsity basketball season, one hundred girls turned out at the call for candidates, many of whom had previous experience. Most of the girls, how- ever, were entirely new to interscholastic competition. It was from this group of aspirants that teams were formed to be judged by the girls' coaches. Eighteen girls qualified for the varsity squad and the remainder gained experience as loopers, guards, and centers on the interclass teams. The 1931 squad gave the team Captain Paula Boynton, Betty Lee, Madeline Gamble, Sarah Oxman, Louise Richards, and Ethel Ninesling. Those who witnessed their first year as participants in girls' basketball were Edith Balsys, Adele Hansen, Virginia Gregory, Jean Russell, Lois Hunter, Katherine Adams, Grace Giesemann, Evelyn Forsberg, and Angene Straub. During the first half of the season the line-up usually ran as follows: forwards, Betty Lee, Edith Balsys, Angene Straub, and Sarah Oxmang guards, Ethel Ninesling, Adele Hansen, Lois Hunter, Grace Giesemann, and Catherine Adams, centers, Made- line Gamble and Evelyn Forsberg. Betty Lee played a commendable game all season and is likened to the famed 1929 captain, Mary Gruden. Last year was Betty's first on the varsity. The marked im- provement she has demonstrated speaks well for her fine athletic qualities. Madeline Gamble for the second year jumped center. Improved greatly, she has come to be one of the stars. The team met with many misfortunes during the past season. The captain, Paula Boynton, was compelled to leave school indefinitely because of illness. Edith Balsys, Betty Lee, and Ethel Ninesling graduated in February and were unable to finish out the schedule. The feature of the year was the formation of extra sextets. The Red Headed team, the Brunette team, the Blonde team, and the Neither-Here-Nor-Theres were a few of the groups organized that successfully engaged interscholastic competition. The varsity team, which competed in the western division of the North Shore Basketball Association, combated strong opposition in such schools as Port Washington, the championsg Manhasset, Mineola, and Glen Cove. Two contests with each of these sextets were slated and, although Great Neck failed to win its encounters, the games afforded their share of thrills. Graduation will exact a heavy toll by depriving the varsity of valuable material. A wealth of reserves compensate to a great degree for this loss. Madeline Gamble and Louise Richards of the regulars will be back and other capable substitutes, which include Adele Hansen, Virginia Gregory, Jean Russell, Lois Hunter, Catherine Adams, and Evelyn Forsberg should prove first team members. f f-Tfxe--A 5 MTTX . 5 ' Z 4, ,Q dd. X, .Y X I GIRLS, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Girls' Athletic Association HE Girls' Athletic Association was incepted as a new organization in Great Neck High School during the fall of 1931. The purpose of the Girls' A. A. is to help formulate programs for the girls of Great Neck High School so that every girl is not only given a chance to participate in sports, but is also encouraged to participate in athletic activities suited to her needs and abilities. In order that this excellent purpose was to be carried out successfully, a point system has been adopted. The point system awarded points for both individual and team sports as well as for leadership, membership in athletic clubs, health, scholar- ship, and service. To become a member of this rather unique club, a girl had but to pay her Gen- eral Organization dues and her dues to the Girls' A. A. This year, the Girls' A. A. has accomplished many valuable advances. It has adopted the new point system, it has made for itself a constitutiong it has issued an Athletic Handbookg it has sponsored sports nights and play daysg and it has given parties. The parties came under social activities of the club and were given to interest the girls in the Girls, A. A. They have furnished an outlet for talents and abilities not necessarily athletic and have provided an active interest for those less athletically inclined. The Girls' A. A. has done more to develop leadership than any other girls' or- ganization or activity in school. Almost every girl is a member. VVith chevrons as a reward for accomplishments, notable advances in the personal well-being of the girls have been consistently in evidence. At a meeting in the fall the officers of the club were elected. Louise Richards was chosen president, Betty Lee, vice-presidentg and Edith Balsys, secretary-treasurer. Q ',,,.. -qs N?-.- K, A N xg I i f 1 100 GIRLS' TENNIS TEAM ii Girls' Tennis ROSPECTS for the girls' tennis team were unusually good. All the veterans of last year's squad were back again for another slate. Angene Von Straub, captain, rated as one of the leading candidates. -lean Russell was expected to provide stiff opposition. Klarie Daly's work on the courts warranted her inclusion on the first string. Harriet Stubbs, another veteran, displayed promising form. Sarah Oxman, last year's victor in the girls' tourney, was highly regarded as was lfary Gregg, winner of this yearls tournament. Kathleen Laressy, as manager for her second successive year, arranged an impos- ing schedule of eight matches with local schools. Rlanhasset, Port NVashington, Glen Cove, Klineola, and Sewanhaka were numbered among Great Neck's opponents. Angene Von Straub, Sarah Uxman, and Kathleen Laressy are the only members of the team who will not be back next year because of graduation. llrs. fllarion Reading coaches the girls' tennis team.
