THE 1941 SIGNET Published by the SENIOR CLASS Mineola High School MINEOLA, NEW YORK DEDICATION The classes of 1941 realize fully the opportunities which Mineola High School lias afforded us. It is this institution which has given us our start in life. For this reason we think it fitting to dedicate this, the first Signet, to our Alma Mater. We sincerely hope that ensuing classes of M. H. S. will continue the Signet and find as much enjoyment in it as did the classes of '41. 1941 SIGNET EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Lillian Wass Associate Editors Ai.an Waltheh Earl Merwin Art Editor William Payne I’ll o t ogra ph ic Ed it or Norman Terney Rhoda Baskin Jean Davis Colette Echausse Until Emig Dorothy Jean Graf Norman Leslie Alvin Levkoff Assistants Jack Lyon Cleinence Reyling Marie Roland William Schneider Raymond Siggins Jane Stevens Albert Smith r «i Faculty Adviser Ruth C.

Allen, the Superintendent of the whole Mineola school system, is a well-beloved figure around the school. He is responsible for many of the improvements in Mineola High, and deserves all of the credit which is cast his way. Dr. Allen is more than just our superintendent; he has be- come a friend and neighbor to us all. MR. RALPH L. SLOAT Our principal rates very high in the affection of every student. He is very fair in all his decisions and takes a personal interest in every pupil. Each student knows that he can come to Mr. .Sloat for advice or help. Mr. Sloat has done numerous things to make our four-year stay at Mineola High a more pleasant one. MR. KENNETH S. TERRY Mr. Terry was this year elevated to the office of assistant-principal. After nine years of success- ful teaching in the science department, he is mak- ing a fine record for himself in his new position. Mr. Terry has already gained the honest respect and admiration of every student. [9] COUNCILORS On the eve of our graduation we must pause to give a word of thanks to the members of the faculty who have so valiantly stood by us during our four years in high school. Because of their under- standing and sympathetic co-operation we have come to regard our teachers as valued friends. We have been diligently taught the formal subjects but none has been of such lasting value as the lessons in courage, cheerfulness, and perseverance which we have learned from the examples set by our teachers. They have patiently injected into our thoughts the fine ideals of loyalty, truth, and honesty which we must strive to attain. They also made us aware that we must combat injustice, bigotry, and intolerance. We wish to express our deep gratitude for the high standards of honor, knowledge, and service which you have constantly kept before us. It is for us to endeavor to follow your splendid example and justify your hopes in us. We turn toward the future with bright and hopeful faces; but we look back sadly on our carefree days in high school. As we prepare to face the dangers of the world today we shall keep within our hearts the lesson you have taught us and we shall gratefully remem- ber the help you lent us.

Coining into Miss Smith’s class for the first time and being dumbfounded by her French . . . Miss Carnegie's inevitable “Quiet, Please” in the li- brary when we’re trying to show our pal a good joke . . . That grin on Mr. Zaiser’s face when he gave us detention . . . Our feel- ing about two inches high when we came into the library to have our programs changed and had all the faculty staring at us . . . Miss Hubbard's getting stuck with the stickers the Seniors were supposed to sell . . . Miss Orr and her tests in mathematics which could make Einstein groan . . . Miss Prosper and her perfumes. Ooh la la ! . . . Our having to look as if we understood when Miss McClel- lan came out with words that would win five dollars on any quiz program . . . Miss Luyster’s always catching us when we tried to get in front on the lunch line . . . Miss Phillips and her “I’ve got some pamphlets you might be interested in” . . . Having to listen to the “Instructions for Candidates” before each and every examina- tion when we practically knew them from memory . . . Mr. Wei- ner’s nice disposition . . . That “urge to kill” when the faculty grinned at our dilemma in examinations . . . Miss Pulver and her “Move up two seats” when we misbehaved . . . Miss Hubbard's all but tearing her hair out trying to get some pep out of the Seniors . . . Mr. Flesch’s wide variety of suits which had us all asking, “Wonder what Mr. Flesch is wearing today?” . . .

Although they were a small group, they were very aetive, giving many dances and parties at which everyone had a good time. No one will forget the beautiful June prom given by the January seniors for the graduating seniors of last year. Their arbor and garden theme was very original and attractive while the band, led by Hill Fenno, was one of the best heard in these parts in recent times. What this class lacked in size, they made up in enthusiasm and in original ideas. Under the direction and insistent prodding of their adviser, Miss Ruth Smith, the members of the class started out on a campaign to build up their treasury. Besides the aforesaid dances, prom, and selling well over a thousand of those popular megaphone pins, they outfitted the school with skull caps. Miss Smith led them through graduation and helped them a great deal when they joined the June 1941 class in editing the Signet. The officers who headed this wide-awake class were: Alan Walther, President; Marie Caprise, Vice-President; Doris Mackenzie, Secre- tary; and Grace Williams, Treasurer. [ 16] JUNE CHIEFS Since their organization in their Junior year the June 19H Seniors have made an enviable reputation for themselves. After a veritable blitzkrieg of colorful posters, noon day parades, and high-pressure salesmanship, they ran a Leap Year dance which cleared sixty-five dollars! By running a pennant dance they then sold the pennants which had been haunting Mr. Sloat for several semesters. Everyone was wondering, “What next?” They then started clamoring for a yearbook. At first they received only a deaf ear from the administration. But the June ’41 Seniors could sell a British flag to Mr. Hitler, and after much debate they succeeded in getting permission to study costs. Then, later, came the magic command, “Go to press!” The Signet is a monument to the perseverance and initiative of these human livewires. Probably the most important factor in their unusual success was the fine direction of their adviser. Miss Hubbard. Whenever their pep slowed down, she inspired them with new vim and vigor. Pic- tured below are the class officers who are as follows: Norman I.eslie, President; Lillian Wass, Vice-President; Ray Siggins, Secretary; Alice Crittenden, Treasurer. [ 7] L AMODIO, VITO A.

Though small in size, it is great in spirit, as shown bv the fine officers they have elected. Mike Carew, the gallant football star, is president; Charlotte Kessler, the most ambitious girl in the class, vice-president; Bernice Risdon, M. H. S.'s baton-twirling drum majorette, secretary; and tall, hand- some Albert Anderson is the all-important treasurer. With these officers' leadership and the capable direction of Miss Gcdney, their class adviser, they all co-operated and surprised the entire school by running the first financially successful theater party in many years. A Valentine's Dance was their next social event. Many a sweet young thing turned a deep crimson as she accepted some ardent swain’s bashful invitation to “cut a rug.” After these feathers in their caps they devoted all their efforts to conduct a beautiful June Prom in honor of the Seniors. This class is the type that’s out to do things in a bigger and better way. They will carry on with flying colors the fine traditions left them by the departing Seniors. Almost as soon as it was organized in November 1940, the class of June 1942 started a most unusual project. Feeling sorry for the poor students with frozen cars, they conceived the bright idea of selling ear muffs; not ordinary, ugly ear muffs, hut beautiful maroon [ 42 ] and gray ones. In connection with this clever scheme they started a new vogue in publicity. They composed pretty poetry to promote plenty of pur- chases. Here is a typical lyric: “Noses are red, ears are blue; Buy our ear muff's, everybody do!” After successfully selling the ear muffs they then sold basketball schedule pencils. With their coffers full, this ambitious class has a bright fu- ture. The officers are as follows: President. Clifford Benficld; Vice-President, Arline Barends; Secre- tary, Clifton Clerke; Treasurer, John Feldman. The class is fortunate to have Miss Swetland as its adviser. Januari Officer.v June Officers HUNTERS The class of January 19-13 has been organized under the capable guidance of Miss Sniffen, their adviser. Their officers, James Gilroy, president; Joan Berberich, vice-president; Chester Painter, secre- tary; and Elwyn Walshe, treasurer, have kept the fires burning. Co- operation seems to flourish in their ranks, bringing forth new ideas to make a hit with the student body. From the way it looks, the class will have a bright future, with money in the hank. The June 43 class is always busy working with its advisers, Miss Fields and Miss Orr. The class president, Carl Sehlimmermeyer, with the help of his fellow officers, Vivian Gregory, vice-president; Matthew Presti, secretary; and Nadine Teter, treasurer, has big plans for his fellow classmates. With such classes, Mineola High School may he able to carry on without its graduating seniors. PAPOOSES llit classes of «January ami June 19H have thrown themselves whole-heartedly into high school life. Many of their number seem so small that the seniors wonder if they were that small when they • • first entered high school. (Don t worry, Seniors, vou were!) Despite their size, there is little doubt that the ’Yl classes will be beard from in a big way when they are fully organized. These classes arc “young” and full of pep. If there is anything doing, they are bound to be in on it. They make the upper-classmen smile through dreary days and keep their spirits up. Where would M. H. S. be without the under-pup? Though the seniors pretend to be very superior beings, they really look with pride on classes such as these. It is they who keep the way lighted so that those who follow in their footsteps may be guided with true Mineola High School spirit. Excelsior! QUESTION MARK Our school paper, the Question Mark, is published eight times a year by an ambitious and capable staff. This up-to-the-minute little paper is mainly concerned with bringing the news to the pupils while it s still news. 1 here are quite «•i few divisions into which this news falls, but probably the most widely read of all of these are the gossip columns. The first thing that the fellows and girls look for is their names in lci-et-La, saying that they'll die if their name is there but secretly hoping to glimpse it in the thick of the dirt. However, besides providing a source of school activities, the Question Mark is fulfilling numerous other purposes. It enables those who are interested in journalism to acquire a fundamental groundwork which may help them in later years. It also helps to draw the student body together and gives the school the opportunity to inform the students about various organizations available in school. As the school attendance has grown, the subscriptions have grown. Consequently, the paper has increased in size and attrac- tiveness. It has achieved and will continue to achieve its purpose, progressing steadily towards an even better newspaper. [48] HALL PATROL When Mineola’s wild and woolly Indians come charging through the halls between periods it is the Hall Patrol which corrals them and forces traffic to “Keep to the Right.” Their strong arms reach out and grasp the wriggling Freshmen when they streak madly to their classes. They prod the Sophisticated Seniors who amble slowly and unconcernedly to theirs. The patrol has taken a great deal of hall work away from Mr. Sloat and his shillelagh, both of whom had been sadly overworked by this task. The hall patrol was organized in the fall of 19M). It is composed of Juniors and Seniors who have strong right arms and steady nerves. Mr. Terry is its manager. The Captain of the patrol is Big Mike Carew. Mary Meehan is the recording secretary. Patrolmen have their individual stations which are placed at strategic points in the halls. The patrol was the guest of the school at a theater party during Christmas vacation. It is rumored that the theater was never so full as when the patrol arrived en masse. Upon graduation each member receives a service award from the school. [ «] DRAMATICS The Dramatics department is one of the chief sources of enter- tainment in the school. Under Miss Austen’s direction the students present many amusing and educational plays. The assembly programs are open to all those who wish to partici- pate. From time to time. Miss Austen may be seen gliding up and down the aisles in study hall, peering intently at people, and picking them out to appear in a play. Those not particularly desirous to do so duck behind their books when they see her and emit loud groans when she stops at their desks. The highest achievement in dramatics is membership in The National Thespian Honor Society. Its purpose is to create a more active and intelligent interest in dramatics in the high schools. Pupils must have a total of eighty speeches to join. There are now twenty-four active members in the Thespians, six- teen of whom were installed October 31. This is the organization which appears in the picture below. Among the activities of this group were a dance in October and a matinee in March. A banquet which is to be an annual event will be held in June. [ 30] SCHOOL PLAY Lights! Action! The curtain rose and the audience quieted down to see tlie annual school play called June Mad.” Jacqueline Lavista had the role of the understanding mother of a beautiful teen-age girl, Joan Jeffrey', who had a bad ease of heart trouble. She became infatuated with Jay Wallace, the wealthy visit- ing college friend of her uncle. Bill McCarthy. She finally realized that she eared for the boy next door, Clifton Clerke, whose aero- nautical aspirations were misunderstood by’ his father, Gerard Bil- lings. Trying to make an impression upon the family’s wealthy guest, the family cook. Marie Whitelaw, and the temporary butler, Tom MaeCormack, were hilarious in their efforts to he well-trained. Ann Tintle, acting very sophisticated, successfully competed with Andrea Cullman, a typical thirteen-year-old pest, in trying to win the affections of the college boys. Harold Ryerson fit perfectly into the role of a doctor and a father just trying to live peaceably with a group of teen-age boys and girls running around the house. “June Mad” was attended by a full house which received the actors splendidly in their fine presentation and applauded Miss Austen’s excellent direction. t 51 ] ASSEMBLY COUNCIL I lie Assembly Council is as necessary to K°°d assembly programs as Julius Caesar is to Roman history. Under Miss Austen’s direction it scouts around for new talent, arranges programs, and announces them in assemblies. The council consists of students who are eager to produce educational, en- tertaining, and unique assembly programs. Divided into two groups, the presidents of the council are Harold Ryerson, president of the Freshman-Sophomore division, and John Hammond, president of the Junior- Senior division. The main social event of the council is the annual Christmas tea given in honor of the faculty. STAGERS The “Stagers” was originated this year hv our more dramatically-minded students so they might intelligently learn of prob- lems facing workers behind the scenes. The group has tackled separately the duties of stage - electricians, wardrobe - mistresses, sound effects, and property men. PROJECTION SQUAD About the time we were freshmen, the Projection Squad was organized under the direction of Mr. Terry. The duties of the boys on the squad are to take care of the movie machine for picture showings in cer- tain classes and to run the slides for sing- ing in assembly. CHORISTERS rhe Choristers arc a selected group of from forty to fifty mixed voices under the capable direction of Mr. Sell wan. This group takes an important part in concerts, Radio Revues, and the annual Nassau County Chorus. To gain entrance to the Choristers, a student must submit to an audition to show his vocal ability. An extensive library of various kinds of music gives the Choris- ters a chance to show their skill in contrasting styles of rhythm. 1 his library contains such pieces as “The Ballad for Americans,” Begin the Beguine “ Y hen Day Is Done,” “Cherubim Song” and selections from Victor Herbert, among many others. The officers of the group are Raymond Siggins, President; An- tonio Fernandes, Vice-President; and Helen Smith, Secretary. [53] BAND Six long years ago the Mineola High School Hand was born. It was so small and insignificant that it sounded like a melancholy hound howling at the moon. Thus our hand began, with three quar- ters of its small membership still in grade school. The group ex- panded and soon there were twenty-five “musicians” enmeshed in its coils and more recruits on the way. There began to he instruments other than trumpets, not to mention the eight or ten people who wanted to play drums. Then came the uniforms! Oh, beautiful uniforms! Discords turned to harmony, noise to music and Mineola High School had a hand! Under Mr. Schwan’s capable direction, the hand has bettered itself considerably since '36. It is now composed of from fifty to sixty high school students and has a full schedule for each school year. The band plays at all the home football games and concerts, and parades on national and civic holidays. This year the band had the privilege of giving the local draftees a “booming send-off to the army. The Mineola High School Hand, our pride and joy, has come to be a necessity to the community as well as the school. [54] ORCHESTRA This year, Mr. Schwan claims to have the finest orchestra in the six years of its existence. We have all noticed the excellent work which they have been doing. It is no wonder, though, for they have one of the finest practice rooms on I.ong Island to inspire them and a fine leader like Mr. Schwan to bring the music out of them. The orchestra performs many services to the school and to the community in return for the opportunities afforded it. The orchestra plays in assemblies. The school plays, graduation and class night ceremonies would not be complete without the orchestra playing in the pit. Undoubtedly you have all noticed that the orchestra differs from the band, inasmuch as instead of featuring the brass and reeds, the strings, mainly violins, or fiddles” take the lead and the other instruments are just to fill in. Mr. Schwan has directed the orchestra in various types of music, both modern and classical. Some of the selections which have been played by the orchestra this year are: “New Moon,” S. Romberg; Valse Triste,’ Sibelius; “Cosi Fan Tutti,” Mozart; and “Rose- munde.” Schubert. [55] BOYS Hl-Y Three years ago, the Boys Hi was started when a group of hoys decided to get together to have a good time. Since then the club has grown in popularity. Meetings are made more interesting by speakers who talk on such subjects as crime detection and safety. GIRLS Hl-Y This year, under the able leader- ship of Miss Proaper, the Girls IIi-Y launched upon a new and complete schedule. The purpose of the Hi Y is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and commun- ity high standards of Christian Char- acter. GIRL RESERVES Organized in the fall of 1940, the Girl Reserves are teen-age members of the Young Women’s Christian Association. Under the guidance of Miss Bolger, the girls have discus- sion groups, participate in dramat- ics and athletics, and pursue special interests. [56] LIBRARY COUNCIL The Library Council is a girls’ organ- ization under the direction of Miss Car negie. During their free periods and after school, the members of this group take care of the library. They do such jobs as stamping hooks, putting hooks in their proper places on the shelves, seeing that books are rebound, sending out slips for overdue books, and helping people select books to read for various subjects. Meetings arc held every month. Most of these meetings deal with business only; occasionally, they meet for a theater party or a social gathering. The officers of the council are: President, Virginia Parsons; Vice-President, Marie Whitelaw; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Miriam Seibert. Upon the completion of twro years’ service, each council member receives an award. FORENSIC Though the student body is not fully aware of it, the Mineola debating team is one of the most active groups in school. Mineola High is represented in the Na- tional Forensic League by some of our more eloquent students. The subject debated this year was: Re- solved: That the power of the Federal Government should be increased. The topic was chosen by the National Forensic League. Each school in the League may choose to debate either the negative or the affirmative position. Last year the team attended for the first time the State Tournament held at Highland, New York. This year the Long Island Tournament was held at Mineola. With Miss Scott’s capable direction we are confident that the debating team will be successful in its very full schedule. RADIO CLUB The purpose of the Amateur Radio Club is to bring together all students who are interested in the construction and opera- tion of radios. Members are taught the code and learn bow to send and receive messages. They also take apart and re- assemble radio sets so that they may be able to build one of their own. John Schmitz, the boy wizard in math- ematics and chemistry, is the founder and president of the club. Under bis able lead- ership. the club has visited broadcasting and transmitting stations, and hopes to take many more equally interesting trips in the future. PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Everyone has seen the interesting arti- cles in local newspapers describing extra- curricular activities in M. H. S. For these, all the credit should go to the Publicity Committee. At the beginning of the term each member is given a definite assign- ment by Miss Elizabeth Pulver, their adviser. These assignments cover all clubs, special assemblies, special projects and all other activities held at Mineola High. Each week the reporters gather news by interviewing advisers and mem- bers of various organizations. After the articles are checked, they are typed by the Secretarial Practice class and then sent to the local papers. The radio club is one of the newest clubs in the school, since it was organized only one year ago. However, in that time much has been accomplished, and many new members have joined. To these students, we owe a vote of thanks. It was they who presented us in word pictures to our friends and neigh- bors, and gave outsiders a clearer view of student life at Mineola. [ 58 ] CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club is frequently referred to as the Knights of the Retort. The program for its meet- ings, which are very interesting and well-attended, includes experiments performed in the laboratory, and speakers on subjects pertaining to chemistry. STAMP CLUB At meetings of the Stamp Club, the student philatelists trade and sell stamps under the supervision of Miss Bolger, an ardent stamp col- lector. This enables them to increase the value of their collections and gives experience in recognizing rare stamps. JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross members are becoming skillful at making stuffed toys and scrap books for homeless children, and knitted cloth- ing for Britain. They hope to send at least one delegate to the next National Red Cross convention in Washington, 1). C. [ 59] CHEERLEADERS We will never forget how loud and lustily we cheered our hoys on! And don’t think the eight little lassies pictured above didn’t have a thing to do with it! We are mighty proud of our cheer- leaders. They are one of the most efficient squads in Nassau County. Why, they put more pep into their cheerleading than—well, Kel- logg puts into his breakfast food! Of course, they make mistakes sometimes. I.il Wass fell flat on her face in the mud and Mary Meehan did “Alimeemo” motions to “Maroon Hah, Gray Rah ’ hut then, even Napoleon had his Waterloo. We of the audience think cheerleading is all play, but the girls say it means plenty of hard work, sore muscles and hoarse throats. That huddle in front of the stands just before a “Time Out” gen- erally means that the cheerleaders are telling the Captain what they want to do next. Of course, the Captain should be telling them, but then, girls will be girls. t 60 J FOOTBALL T’lu County-Seaters of Mineola have smashed through to their second brilliant season in as many years, for under the leadership of our co-captains, John DaVanzo and Henry Nary, we have again captured the North Shore Championship. I he team s first test was against a favored Baldwin eleven, whom we played for the first time. This exciting game was played on the high sehool field at Baldwin. In the first period, Baldwin led by a ( 0 score, hut Mineola came hack to score fourteen points in the second quarter. In the second half. Baldwin unleashed a dazzling pass attack that gave the Golden Wave a scoring opportunity on the Mineola four-yard stripe from where Baumann cracked over. 1 he try for the extra point was no good so Mineola won the game by a 14 13 count. We breezed through our next two games with tremendous scor- ing. In the Hieksville game, Jones, Romer, DaVanzo. Carew, Kuntz and Breit went over to give us a 52 0 victory, while in the Great Neck game, Carew, DaVanzo and Mitchell tallied twice each for a 39—0 win. I he next game was with Amityviile which was responsible for our first loss of the season. Although it was an inter-eountv tilt, the boys felt quite bad about their first loss of the campaign. So, on November 4, the Mineola Maroons took to the field and [61 1 ran tlu supposedly strong Glen Cove team into the ground. C o- eaptain Nary got the game under way when he romped 35 yards to a touchdown after Carew blocked Stanco’s attempted punt. 1 he extra point made the score 7 0 after only four minutes of the game had elapsed. In the second quarter, DaVanzo whipped a thirty- yard pass to Jones in the end zone to give Mineola a 13 0 lead. No more than two minutes passed when a third touchdown was recorded on a beautiful pass from DaVanzo to Nary to make the score 19-0 at the half. To Marvin Mitchell goes the honor of exe- cuting the outstanding play of the afternoon, for it was “Mitch, Mineola’s fast-stepping back who went 73 yards on an off-tackle play through the entire Glen Cove team for Mineola’s fourth counter. The Covers’ lone tally came in the fourth session when Famigletti went 32 yards around left end for a touchdown. The extra point was kicked by Glen Cove’s triple threat back, Stanco. In the last quarter, with minutes to play, Jones intercepted a pass on Glen Cove’s 15-yard line and ran to the 10-yard stripe. Mineola then scored again when Leahy tossed a pass to Breit in the end zone. This was the final scoring in a game which found Mineola on top of a 32- 7 score. Our next game, with the Nassau County champions. Lawrence, became our only other loss. But. even if Lawrence remained un- [02] MAROONS TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP An Exciting Moment Mineola Ahead The Band in Action beaten, it received a terrific physical drubbing as the result of one of the most gruelling scholastic games ever played in this vicinity. At least a half dozen Lawrence regulars were stretched out on the field at various times and it was remarkable that they were able to come from behind to overcome a first period 7 0 dis- advantage. Mineola’s score came when Da- Vanzo smashed off-tackle for 30 yards and a touchdown. Nary kicked the extra point to give Mineola a 7—0 lead. Lawrence came back in the second period to knot the score 7-7 and in the third frame broke the deadlock when a delayed buck through center bv Balzano clicked. Their final score was the result of a 76-yard march which was completed when Sarro plunged over from the 10-vard line. A late Mineola rally was killed by the alertness of Cohn on pass defense. Our final game of the season was a 15 0 win over Farmingdale which clinched the North Shore Championship for Mineola. Baker scored twice and DaVanzo, Romer, Nary, Jones, and Mitchell each scored once to swamp our former nemesis for the second straight year. Much of the success of our teams for the past number of years can be directly attributed to our coaching staff. Coaches Hafner. Simon son and Zaiser have built up the teams and coached the boys in not only fundamentals, but also in intricate plays. The entire student body owes them a debt of gratitude. [ «3 ] BASKETBALL After its brilliant season on the gridiron, Mineola looked for- ward to an equally spectacular basketball season. Although there were only two veterans from the previous year’s championship team, namely Henry Nary and Johnny DaVanzo, our hopes were still high. We knew Coach Hafner was one of the best coaches on Long Island and we felt confident he could whip a good, fighting team out of the promising Junior Varsity men. And he did. The Varsity consisted of co-captains John DaVanzo and Edwin Walent, Charley “Buck ' Jones, Donald “Duck” Leahy, Nils “Ozzie” Bern- hardt, Richard Homer. Hen Nary, George Stern, John Bernhardt and Tony “Ox” Palmer. The Junior Varsity men were James Rogers, Shadow Sullivano, Bill DaVanzo, Henry Rogodzinski. Mike Diego, Willie Campbell, Joe Fox, Kemp Ouderkirk and (Jordon Johanssen. With a bright outlook on the future, Mineola entered the North Shore League competition. Then—things happened! Lady Luck snubbed poor old Mineola unmercifully. First, the cold bug that ran amuck around Mineola High in January and February did not spare even the basketball team. Several players were kept out of action for one or two weeks. Then, in their eagerness to win (we hope), the fellows committed foul after foul. On one sorrowful [ 64] occasion, the Garden City home game, the whole Varsity was put out on fouls and the Junior Varsity men had to go in. As if this wasn’t enough, time and again the team fought furiously through hard-con- tested games only to lose by one or two baskets in the closing minutes. This was greatly disheartening, both to the team and to the fans. “What’s the matter with the basketball team?” was on the lips of every student. The answer was inexplicable. The material was good; the team fought every second of every game. It couldn’t have been lack of school spirit for the students jammed the gymnasium at every home game. It was just a matter of had breaks. Take the first Port Wash- ington game for instance. It was a close battle all the way, no team being more than two or three baskets ahead of the other at any time. With one minute left to play, Mincola led 23 to 22. The fans were crowding on the floor, the roar was deafening, and then a Port player sank a shot just before the whistle blew. A look at the reeord shows the other had breaks Mineola received.

We think of the time Mineola played in Madison Square Garden in 1938. Nor do we forget the fun we had at Trophy Night watching Mr. Sloat and Coach Haf- ner scamper about in basketball uniforms. They were good, too! [65] BASEBALL From the time that Mineola squared off with Long Beach till the final out in the Roslyn championship game played at Barton’s Stadium, it was obvious that we had championship material. The scorebook has “Championship nineteen forty” scrawled on the last page. That tells the story in a nutshell. In the final game, DePriest held Roslyn to only one hit. a thrill- ing sight to witness in any championship game. Mineola batters combined their efforts to total seven hits. The score was much too close for comfort; Mineola one run on seven hits; Roslyn no runs on one hit. Preceding this final victory, Mineola had already piled up eleven triumphs and had suffered only two defeats. Thus the total scoring added up to two defeats and twelve victories for M. H. S. at the end of the season. The “regulars” for Mineola were: Earl Swain, John DaVanzo, Richard L’Ecuyer, Fred Gelderman, Edward Solosky, Charles Jones, Philip Wagner, George Pappas, Fay DePriest, Patsy Crispo, Ches- ter Cathcart, Rowland Hautsch and Thomas McGuire. It is only fitting that these last words be a tribute to Kenneth Hafner, who is the coach of the baseball teams and who deserves just recognition for his work. [GS] TRACK The Mineola track team was right in there trying and winning from the starting gun until the moment the last tape snapped. Coacli Bergen Simonson, when approached for a statement, expressed this brief hut concise opinion: “We have had a very successful year and are looking forward to many more such seasons.” Mr. Simonson must accept the laurels bestowed upon him, for it was his advice, training and good judgment that helped Mineola to stay on to]). Mineola won two dual meets by good margins, and outran Garden City and Glen Cove to win their final triangular meet. In the Port Washington invitation tournament, which always provides tough competition, Mineola placed a close third. The Junior relay was won by Mineola, as was the Senior relay. Two outstanding performers for the team were Gerard “Brod” Beirne, and Johnny DaVanzo. Beirne stretched his six-foot two- inch frame to many victories in the mile events. He was second only to Hicksville’s exceptional miler, Hcnniken. DaVanzo broad jumped and high jumped to score many points for Mineola—some- times jumping to heights that exceeded his own. Johnny also represented Mineola at the Long Island meet which is the largest local meet in this area. [67] GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Perhaps you are wondering what tribe is in the picture above? It is merely a small portion of the Girls’ Athletic Association which was started in 1935 with a membership of ten girls. Surpassing all expectations of the Physical Education Department, this organiza- tion increased to over one hundred fifty members. The requirement for membership is five hundred credits which are earned through participation in both class and intramural sports. The highest award is the sterling silver bracelet engraved with “G.A.A.” which a girl receives upon graduation if she has earned one thousand credits and has a good gymnastic record. In January 19 U. three girls were added to the long list of members who have already received this award. Miss Gregory, the chief, has a council of ten girls. If some affairs arise, the chief gives the orders and the council carries them out. Besides sports, the tribe has bicycle picnics, gives exhibitions, holds a class night and two initiations each year. The new Indians get a royal welcome every September and February. The most im- portant occasion is the annual banquet which is attended by the active alumnae as well as the present members. t «8 ] BASKETBALL HOCKEY After approximately eight weeks of playing intramural basketball, the girls pictured below were selected from over one hundred girls for the honor teams. The selection was based on the girls’ ability to play. Juniors and Seniors have preference, but if a lower classman is an excellent player she is included. Each fall an average of ninety girls participate in hockey. Monday is de- voted to the beginners who delight in dig- ging holes in the ground with their sticks. Tuesday and Thursday find the advanced group trying to knock the stuffings out of a wooden hall. From this group the honor team pictured below was chosen. [69] Bernie and her silver stick SCHOOL LIFE September and back to the old grind. After a summer at Bar Beach the halls of good old M.H.S. looked dark and gloomy. The fellows trooped in with the well- known loopers-droop and the girls wan- dered about still reveling in starry-eyed memories of romantic summer evenings. Standing in line for hours to get our pro- grams changed was like waiting to see the General Motors Show at the World’s Fair. And then came the loud “no” when we asked to drop three of our five subjects. Then the seniors came through with a startling suggestion. They wanted—of all things—a yearbook. When they dropped that bombshell into the laps of the faculty, they found out that the cost of publishing a yearbook was similar to the national debt. Everyone eagerly took up the war chant “We want a yearbook!” Then came a frenzied campaign for subscriptions and ads. The grunts and groans coming from the gridiron warned us that the Mineola eleven was getting into condition the hard way— by means of Coach Hafner’s tricky calis- thenics and gallons of Sloan’s liniment. Touching their toes turned the team into a squad of supermen. They slashed through a tough schedule to win the North Shore Championship for the second consecutive season. While the fellows battled on the field we cheered ourselves hoarse inspired by our very attractive and peppy cheer leaders. Between touchdowns we munched candy sold by some of our prettiest co-eds and And the hand played on warmed our feet by beating time to tbe stirring rhythms of the band. Our music- makers kept the crowd amused between halves with their unique formations and clever stunts. Incidentally, we think our high-stepping drum majorette, Bernice Risdon, with her sparkling smile was partly responsible for the huge turn-outs at all the games. Another reason for the strong school- spirit exhibited this past year was the super pep rallies held before the games. Again and again the auditorium rang with the shouts and cheers of the entire student body and who will ever forget the spec- tacular rally and parade before the Law- rence game! The last cheer for the football team bad hardly died out when the basketball season was upon us. The sad details may be found elsewhere in this book. However, happier things were going on at this time. The football team celebrated with a victory dinner at the San-Su-San and the very next night tbe auditorium was packed with spectators clamoring to see the annual school play, “June Mad.” With everyone happily anticipating vaca- tion, the Christmas Concert was a joyous occasion. Vacation swished by and in no time at all we were back in harness, slaves to the bells. Those dreaded notices on the bulletin board told us that examinations were ap- proaching. Cramnation! Somehow we man- aged to survive that awful week. Then we bade farewell to the January seniors at their commencement, only to have them pop back the next week to peer into our classroom windows. Jane Forslund, the valedictorian, and Mary Stuart, the saluta- torian, remained for some post graduate work. Evidently, they just couldn’t bear to leave us. Old Man Winter presented us with the nicest blanket of snow we’ve had in years just to make a lovely winter setting for the From. Tbe seniors with their usual [ 71 ] Between halves at the Great Neck Game ingenuity brought the beauty of the out- door scene into the gym. The belle of the ball was the snow lady who graced the center of the floor. The next snowfall was the occasion for more merry-making for the students. Everyone piled out of the study halls and onto the campus to build snowmen and snow forts. A few unlucky fellows forgot to duck the snowballs which were flying thick and fast and sported beautiful “shiners” as souvenirs. About this time the Signet staff wore worried looks as visions of deadline dates danced in their heads. Cameras clicked and everyone smiled his prettiest for the year- book photographer as the final pictures were taken. March came in with the measles and went out with an epidemic of crew haircuts and jumping rope. Our star rope-skippers were not the girls, surprisingly enough, hut the more muscular members of the stronger sex. Mm—what sweets! II’hat's new? Sulphur and molasses weren’t necessary in good old M. H. S. because we bad our super-colossal Radio Revue to keep us from getting Spring Fever. This all-star show turned out to be the social event of the spring semester. The male ballet, ten fugitives from the football field, created a sensation with their high-stepping dance routine. Their scanty, red gingham cos- tumes revealing a vast expanse of rugged masculine limbs lent charm to their tune- ful rendition of “Oh. You Beautiful Doll.” Strictly in the groove was the school Swing Band under the direction of our own Elwyn Walshe. Their swinging rhythms and hot specialty numbers put everyone in the mood for fun—the key- note of the evening. Everybody who took part gave a top-notch performance. There just isn’t room enough to tell how good they all w’ere. Take it from us—they were swell! April surprised us with some hee-u-tiful summer weather—the kind that delights the kids and worries Mr. Zaiser. Baseball fans and track enthusiasts haunted the practice fields as the fellows warmed up for the approaching season. Both teams got off to a good start and we are all anxiously awaiting the outcome. The seniors began making their plans for Class Night and Commencement and we all knew that the end of the term was near. Two smart girls carried off the Meet Mr. Snowman highest honors: Judith Preiss was named valedictorian and Lillian Wass, saluta- toriam Regents are coming so we’ll have to leave now and do some cramming too.
