Mineola High School - Signet Yearbook (Mineola, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1945 volume:

PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS Editor — Christine Guarino Business Manager — Ednamae Sprauer Dedication J HROUGH their years of teaching at Mineola High School, Miss Cornelia Doedeyns, Miss Harriet Proaper, and Miss Ruth Smith have shown deep and lasting interest not only in their immediate duties as teachers, but also in every organization in which they have taken part. Everyone is acquainted with their friendly smiles and gracious man- ners, and recognizes their complete and generous loyalty in whatever they undertake. The senior classes are especially aware of the devotion of these teachers to their work. We realize and appreciate the tireless efforts of Miss Doedeyns, advisor of the June class and of Signet circulation; Miss Proaper, advisor of the January class and of Signet ad- vertising; and Miss Smith, advisor of the Signet editorial staff. Here it is, therefore, that we, the classes of 1945, pause to pay tribute to Miss Doedeyns, Miss Proaper, and Miss Smith — teachers, friends, and co-workers. MISS CORNELIA DOEDEYNS 5 Admirals FROM the magic land of Persia Sinbad the Sailor one day made a detour and sailed into Mineola on his flying carpet. With a true nautical instinct he got his bearings and found himself be- fore a large building. He approached it won- dering what men were responsible for this mar- velous structure. Although Sinbad did not meet these men dur- ing his visit to Mineola High School, he was very conscious of the effect of their activity on the school. For in admirng the attractive school building and the well-kept grounds, Sinbad was commenting directly on the work of the Board of Education. Behind the machinery of any corporation, fac- tory, or school system, there must be that super- vising group which makes all the decisions. In Mineola High this function is executed by the Board of Education which has the final word per- taining to the administration of the entire school system. Their decisions directly affect the wel- fare and efficiency of faculty and students. These men work constantly and untiringly for the student body. They may be rewarded properly only by the students' maintenance of a high scholastic standard and by their who'ehearted participation in the high school activities — sports, dramatics, and music — for it is their purpose and desire to see Mineola come out on top. Board of Education: Mr. Patrick Walshe, Dr. Frank Barnes. Mr. William Hicks, Mr. Chester Painter Mr. William Lotz. i DR. HARLAN B. ALLEN MR. RALPH L. SLOAT MR. KENNETH S. TERRY Captains WHILE the Board of Education determines the general policies of the school, the more immediate daily functions are attended to by Dri Harlan B. Allen, superintendent of schools, Mr. Ralph L. Sloat, principal, and Mr. Kenneth S. Terry, assistant principal. The administration not only of the high school but of the entire Mineola public school system is in the hands of Dr. Allen. He acts as coordi- nator of school affairs between the Administra- tion and the Board of Education, and meets the many complicated problems involved in the effi- cient functioning of an organization of this size. Although his duties do not generally bring him into personal contact with the students, his inter- ested handling of such matters as the student petition for an extended Christmas holiday, is witness to the fact that Dr. Allen has a genuine concern for the welfare of every student. On the second floor of the school building is Room 200, the Grand Central Station of Mineola High. Through its doors daily pass hundreds of students. Some come willingly to seek advice on schedules, to request transcripts or letters of recommendation, or to pose the problems of some extra-curricular group. Others present themselves there quite involuntarily to get tardy slips, or to have, a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Sloat or Mr. Terry. In addition to being a sound- ing board for students, the main office is a clear- ing ground for the business of parents, guardians, faculty members, alumni, and salesmen. Mr. Sloat is the genial principal who may gen- erally be found within his office attending to the prodigious quota of work. Nevertheless, his in- terest lies always with the student, and he has taken the trouble to acquaint himself with the individual problems and interests of every stu- dent with whom he has personally come in con- tact. Thus Mr. Sloat combines a general interest in the cultural growth of all his students with a more personal friendliness toward each of them. The burden of work connected with the super- vision of M.H.S. would be overwhelming without the indispensable aid of Mr. Terry. Besides his high school duties, Mr. Terry is supervisor of the junior high school, advisor of the Projection Squad and of Candy Committee, and creator of the Hall Patrol. With his ready smile and his careful con- sideration of all problems brought to him, Mr. Terry has gained the respect of every student. Most underclassmen and every graduate ac- knowledge with gratitude the part that these three men have played in the shaping of their high school destinies. Lieutenants MINEOLA S classrooms are dominated by fifty-six learned individuals who comprise the faculty. For purposes of vengeance, various students have expressed na desire to exchange places with their teachers, but they ho no idea how often the faculty expresses this .e wish, conversely. Indeed, there are times when every student sings We Dreamed We Were the Faculty, per- haps often bitterly and with malice aforethc - ht. Many's the time when he has ranted and raved, and fussed and fumed because homework assign- ments were too long or too hard. Yet, whe-e v.ould a high school be without its teachers? Theirs is the duty to present the knowl- edge they have gained in an interesting and in- formative manner, so that it may be assimilated by the generally reluctant student body. In addi- tion, the faculty helps to advise the students in their many extra-curricular ‘es. Thus, it is their job to act as informer, v, and friend to each of their pupils. Besides beino fountains of learning, M.H.S.'s teaching staff has endeared itself to the student body through a variety of quaint expressions and associations. For example, who ran forget sitting in typing class, impatiently w0 ‘ a-t pound- ing away, but forced to sit cu ss Miller discoursed in her inimitable . aversion to chewing gum ... Or Miss PulvuMB merican Problems classes and her theses . . . Mr. Schwan and his string of terrifying adjectives climaxed with Great balls of sweat, people! . . .

JANUARY 1948 Boots SEPTEMBER 1945 brought an influx of fresh- men that was quite different from the con- ventional worried, bewildered crop of underdogs. Instead, the class of June 1948 was a group of junior sophisticates who defied the juniors and seniors, quickly became acquainted with the in- ner sanctum of Mr. Sloat's office, and otherwise found their own way in the labyrinth that Mineola High is to most incoming frosh. Naturally these students entertained a preco- cious interest in the extra-curricular activities of the school. Consequently they are already be- ginning to be known in the circles of music, sports and journalism, as well as that of detention. The more experienced class of January 1948 is well established in the social life of the after- three hours. Members of that class are J.V. basket- ball stars, musical virtuosos, twirlers, cheerleaders, football prospects and newspaper aces. They have become acquainted with the upper-classmen and have learned the value of friendship'with the faculty, a prerequisite of success in high school. These students have already had experiences that will become fond memories before the culmina- tion of their high school careers. JUNE 1948 JANUARY 1947 Apprentice Seamen SOPHOMORE year introduces students to that brotherhood known as a class. For, prior to becoming juniors, all second-year students go through the rigors of class organization, election of officers, and the selection of the faculty ad- visor who will see them through their remaining school years. This is usually accomplished by some enterpris- ing class member who takes it upon himself to round up a group of delegates who in turn shyly approach Mr. Sloat. Thereupon a meeting follows at which Mr. Sloat tenders the group some valu- able advice and warnings of the stumbling blocks up against which they are likely to come. In this manner, the class of January '47 has duly organ- ized and has chosen as leaders Joseph Solosky, president, Joyce Haviland, vice president, Stanley Hunt, secretary, and Dorothy Holly, treasurer. Miss Hubbard is the faculty advisor who was in- strumental in helping the class put over their first dance, the Shamrock Shindig. The class of June 1947 stands on the threshold of all the varied high school activity and will soon join the ranks of their predecessors. The sopho- mores have learned the ropes and are climbing steadily onward and ever upward! JUNE 1947 Seamen First Class AFTER the comparative calm of the freshmen and sophomore years a junior finds himself plunged into the hectic life of an upper classman. It is the class of January 1946 that follows most closely at the heels of its senior brothers and sisters. In 1943, the members of this class officially organized. As Mrs. Connors was well qualified in the capacity of advisor, she was unanimously elected. Then the class started a steady uphill grind. Both their first two dances — the Hillbilly Hop and the Pigskin Bounce — thrived, enabling them to line their previously empty treasury with an abundance of copper and silver coins. Upon their return in September 1944 from summer vacation, the class members awoke to the realization that they were advanced juniors, defi- nitely an important element in the school. Now was the time for unity. In the ensuing election of officers, Ken Darrell emerged as president, with Marie Stephenson as vice president, Barbara Wol- verton as secretary, and Floyd Cibulski as treas- urer. One innovation for which this group agitated was a sobriquet and mascot for the varsity teams. Ideas for the sobriquet, or nick name, were sub- mitted by the student body then voted upon by the Student Council. The Mascot a picture derived from the selected sobriquet, is to be used on all sports emblems for the school. During this term came a long-anticipated day — the day on which class rings arrived. Mr. Sloat's office was packed to capacity as the juniors waited impatiently to receive their shining gold and onyx rings. Not long after, the new jewelry was being proudly displayed before the envious lower classmen. But, alas, the absence of Mrs. Connors left the class without an advisor. Fortunately Miss Beatrice Hubbard offered to take over the relinquished responsibilities. Under her supervision the class sponsored the Ragland Riot, a jam session held in the music room. Already this class has left a definite imprint on Mineola's school life. Through its tireless efforts it will unquestionably secure for itself a permanent place in the annals of Mineola High. JANUARY 1946 JUNE 1946 It would seem difficult to uphold tradition with such a class as predecessor, but the class of June 1946 refused to be dispirited. They resolved to become recognized and respected in their own right, to fill a record of their own successes. After organizing during their sophomore year and choosing as their proficient advisor Miss Barbara Hobbs, they proceeded from one event to another. September 1944 brought with it the knowledge that they were no longer underclass- men, but were well launched on the course toward becoming seniors. It was then that they elected Bob Beedon to head their class, supported by Betty Hautsch, vice president, Norma Browne, secretary, and Larry Kuster, treasurer. In January, at the time the January 46 class received their rings, the June 46 clajs selected and ordered theirs. Something different was what the class of June 1946 sought; something different was what they presented to the school last November in the form of their first dance, the Pin-up Festival. This gala affair held in the music room was com- plete with floor show, dance band, and class talent. At the festival a pin-up girl for Mineola High was picked and the title awarded to Joan Andrews, a senior. Something different, too, were the first maroon and grey pennants to appear in many years, sold by the members of this class as another means of raising money for their treasury. Another contribution of this class to the social life of the school was the evening dance held on May 4, greatly enjoyed by all who attended. Thus far have been written the histories of the classes of January 1946 and June 1946. With so promising a start comes the guarantee for a suc- cessful future. January Officers: B. Wolverton, M. Stephenson, W. Vasiloff, F. Cibulslci. June Officers: L. Kuster, N. Browne, B. Hautsch, R. Beedon. 17 January Ensigns EVERYWHERE that Sinbad visited in Mineola High he noticed some outstanding athlete, student, actor, or musician. And very often in response to his questions someone would answer, That's Johnny So-and-So, January '45. It came to a point where Sinbad requested to meet this class as a whole to learn something of its history. Therefore the class arranged a meeting with him in Room 201, where daily resides this class's pleasant and hardworking advisor, Miss Proaper. Here Sinbad was read the class history. He learned how this group had entered Mineola green and were obliged to find their way about with hardly the courtesy that he had been shown. That was in January 1941, and these greenies, having been 'welcomed' by the upper classmen, made their separate ways to the activities in which they so soon excelled. Before they could stop to think about anything (excepting, of course, homework) they were or- ganizing as a full-fledged class. The officers they selected included Jack Woods, president, Grace Rutan, vice-president, Florence Massa secretary, and Daniel McAlinn, treasurer. Under these offi- cials, the class gave its first dance, causing a sen- Valedictorian: G. Saul. Salutatorian: G. Rutan. January Officers: R. Jahellca. C. Moritz, G. Cunningham, J. Ingalls. sation by calling it a Sadie Hawkins dance and reversing the usual boy-ask-girl procedure. The omnipresent need for moolah reached the class as juniors. To satisfy this need, the members sold football pencils, football pins, and basketball pencils, and kept on selling until the day they graduated. With the prom for the June 1944 class given, and senior caps purchased, the '45 seniors realized that their time had come. Fast and furiously they crammed their remaining days with fun, study, and activity. And here they were, as Sinbad knew them, far from the bewildered frosh of four years previous. They now had a valedictorian, Gerald Saul, a salutatorian, Grace Rutan, and, in addition to Bob Jahe'ka. president, the graduating officers in- cluded Claire Moritz, vice-president, Grace Cun- ningham, secretary, and Jack Ingalls, treasurer. The day was near when these students would don their royal blue caps and gowns and, as a class, would make their last march down the center aisle of the auditorium. These people had made the most of their opportunities, reaping pleasure and profit from their four years of high school life. The class of January '45 was now ready to take its leave. 18 MURIEL BAKER HELEN BENSON MARION BERTRAM JOAN BOLES JOSEPH BOWtTfcW, AIDA CALFAPIETRA GEORGE CAMERON ROBERT CAMERON GRACE CUNNINGHAM MURIEL DEVEAU BETTY DIAS NORMA DOMNITZ JUNE ECKHARDT HARRIET EDMAN JOSEPHINE FUSCO V N VERONICA GESSLEIN MURIEL GINIGER 19 RUTH HACHMANN THOMAS KESTEL JOHN KIBBE JEAN KNOPF HOPE KOCHEY GEORGE KOEGEL KATHRYN KOELBLE WALTER HAGAN GORDON HENDRY MARIE HENRICH JACK INGALLS ROBERT JAHELKA ALICE KANE HELMUTH KARSTADT CHRISTINA KENNEDY GERALD KESSLER DANIEL McALINN Charles McDermott MARION MERRITT CARL MOREHOUSE CLAIRE MORITZ THOMAS MOTO FRED MUELLER HERBERT NEUNZIG HELEN NICOLELLO CLAIRE NILSEN MARTIN PETERSSEN BERNICE PINCUS HARRY PLEINES EVELYN RIDICK CHARLOTTE ROSE 21 GRACE RUTAN GERALD SAUL JOAN SAUVIGNE DAVID WHAM 0 • ♦7 EDWIN WORKS - «Vko r • • WALTER 2AHN 'v % u ■■ . jV • 22 June Ensigns FOUR years ago there came to Mineola High a group of unusual students which, like every freshman class, had possibilities, but which was too bewildered at the time to do much about them. Nevertheless, their interests guickly turned into definite channels. Many of the basketball stars of today might have been seen then, loung- ing wistfully on the gym bleachers. Or the writers and actors of the present senior class could be found nightly in Room 3 14 where they contributed to the Creative Writing Club. Still others turned to music and devotedly followed Mr. Schwan around the building. Therefore, by the time they became sophomores, the future class of June 45 was well on its way to high school fame, if not to fortune. Toward January of their sophomore year the class organized under the following officers: Bill Hautsch, president, Henrietta Koch, vice-presi- dent, Betty Weaver, secretary, and Douglas Hey- don, treasurer. Miss Doedeyns was selected as class advisor. When.it came time for this group to make its social bow, they brought forth the fabulous Gay Nineties Dance. Be it here recorded that this was as successful as a dance could be although, due to a slight mishap, it was distinguished by its com- plete lack of anything gay-ninetyish. With the coming of junior year a change in ad- ministration was made: Doug Heydon took over as president with June Haviland, Irene Dzikielek- sk! and Bill Rogers as vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Under these leaders class dues were levied to be gathered in by unpopular homeroom collectors. In addition, class rings were selected and another successful dance was held. The latter, known as the '45 Club, was a soiree held in the music room. To atone for their first dance, the juniors went out of their way to pro- vide a night club atmosphere with glamorous decorations of wax lilies and paper apples. Later in the year the class decided that, unlike the preceding June class, it was going to have a yearbook. Mr. Sloat was approached, arrange- ments were made for a publisher, a student staff was selected, and the class of June 45 had ful- filled its first major ambition. Now senior year rolled around bringing with it several vigorous campaigns to transfer money from the pockets of any hapless individual into the class treasury. Having elected the graduation officers-----they remained the same as those of junior year with June Hage taking over as secre- tary — the June Forty-fivers became well-versed in the art of salesmanship. The first senior project was the Hallowe'en Hop which netted the amaz- ing sum of seventy-two cents. More successful were the sales of yearbook subscriptions, school play tickets, and football and baseball pencils. Finally came their last contribution to Mineola's social whirl — the January prom, better known as the Cafe Moulin Rouge. As a parting gesture, the seniors decided to re- vive Class Night. Among many industrious plans to make it an evening to remember, the class suddenly realized that graduation loomed not far beyond. Time was short, but memories were ong and it had been fun while it lasted. June Officers: W. Rogers, J. Haviland, J. Hage. D. Heydon.

Shore Patrol To qualify for the Hall Patrol, one must be a Junior or Senior, have a good scholastic record, and be approved by his individual teachers. Be- sides rendering a service to the school, the twen- ty-five members learn leadership, responsibility, trustworthiness, and other traits of good charac- ter. During the past year, observing the need for a program of campus cleanliness, a group of thirty- five students, assisted by Miss Pulver, organized the Campus Patrol. Led by the officers, Bob Cole- man, president, and Barbara Wolverton, secre- MEETING the members of the various classes aroused in Sinbad a tremendous interest in their activities, and so he prowled around the building during and after school hours to learn what he could. He discovered that the responsi- bility of maintaining the beauty of school and grounds, and of contributing to efficiency within the school falls in part upon the students them- selves. In order to meet these responsibilities it has been found advisable to form various student organizations. If, while walking through the halls, you hear such exclamations as ' Keep moving, Break it up, and Hey you, off that bannister! , they will invariably be those of a Hall Patrol member. Un- der the guidance of Miss Doedeyns the Hall Pa- trolers keep order in the hall between periods, making futile any attempts to stop for a lengthy chat, to run or even to loaf. Campus Patrol.

To make the Campus Patrol more effective, Mr. Sloat gave permission to form a court where student offenders are tried and just punishment meted out to them. This court is presided over by a judge supported by a jury of three — repre- sentatives from the patrol, the faculty, and the student body. As many of the surrounding schools have dis- covered, the success of this type of association depends mainly on the cooperation of the stu- dents.

A little-noticed group that effectively tackles a great amount of work is the Library Council. Without this group, smooth management of libra- ry affairs would be impracticable. Comprising the council are fourteen girls, who devote free periods to assisting Miss Carnegie. They may daily be observed in the library processing new books replacing those returned, typing lists, or super- vising the incoming of books and library permits at the desk. When library duties have occupied a member's spare time for two years, that girl is awarded a key denoting service. Marie Ste phenson, president, Barbara Smith, vice-president and Helen Stumpf, secretary, head this industrious group. A comparatively new organization is the Stu- dent Council, whose membership consists of the leaders of other school groups. The primary pur- poses of the Student Council at present are to draw up a calendar of events for each new term and to supervise the activities of other associa- tions. The biannual calendars contain the dates for such activities as proms, and other class dan- ces, teas, Thespian matinees, spring concerts, the Radio Revue, and basketball games. For the past term Lester Weidner acted as president with Dorothy Braster as secretary. Overseeing the pro- ceedings of the Student Council are Mr. Sloat, Miss Hubbard, and Miss Proaper. 35 Yeomen THE social-minded students ot Mineola greatly aid their high school and community by de- voting their time to one of the service groups. Two of the clubs that directly aid the adminis- tration of the school are the Office Workers and the Guidance Club. You can be sure that if you are catching forty winks in social studies or math, the classroom door will open and one of the efficient office girls will drag you from your slumber for a chat with Mr. Sloat or Mr. Terry. The services they perform in- clude typing and filing and the preparation of the absentee slips. The members of the Guidance Club learn a great deal about office routine while helping Miss Phillips in the activities room. Recording marks and giving and marking vocational preference tests are among their duties. The officers are Christine Guarino, president, and Dorothy Behn, secretary-treasurer. Those who think in terms of chocolate-covered peanuts, peppermints, and potato chips, are well acquainted with the members of the Candy Com- mittee. These sixteen girls, supervised by Mr. Terry, are responsible for selling at all the games and during the lunch periods. A boys' club that contributes much to the school is the Projection Squad.

Under Steve Conklin's captaincy the squad has given much time outside of school in showing films to community civilian defense organizations. The Mineola Molecular Mutilators is better known as the Chemistry Club. The scientifically- minded members have permission to use the lab for experiments during their free time. The club has temporarily disbanded, due to the lack of an advisor. However, the officers were Hilary Bil- lings, president, Grace Cunningham, vice-presi- dent, Irene Dzikielewski, secretary and Howard Williams, treasurer. Serving biology as the M.M.M.'s serve chemis- try is the Science Service Corps. This group of ten students cares for the aquarium, performs nutri- tional experiments and takes inventory of the biological equipment. Volunteers from the biology classes comprise the membership list and receive silver service pins at the completion of one year. The importance and popularity of the Girls’ Hi-Y is attested by the fact that this group has recently expanded, forming a new chapter. Dur- ing the past year, the Hi-Y girls have filled Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter boxes containing gifts for the wounded at Mitchell Field and St. Albans Hospital. In addition, they have carried on such worthwhile activities as working on Red Cross projects, making Christmas menu folders for the sailors at sea and preparing a bill for the Albany Projection Squad.

Under Miss Howard and Miss Eiskant, the Girls' Hi-Y has enforced a strict code of rules and regulations for Christian living. The members of the Junior Red Cross are in- deed busy girls. Under Miss Becken's supervision they have filled Christmas stockings for World War I veterans and have made Christmas orna- ments, utility bags, slippers, tray covers and joke scrap-books. Once a week the girls help with the senior division bookkeeping at the chapter house. Their officers are president, Mignon Saul, vice president, Rita Gertner, and secretary, Jane John- son. In conjunction with the Camera Club, the Cor- respondence Club is sending letters and photo- graphs to the Mineola High School alumni serving in the armed forces. Mrs. Walter advises the Correspondence group which mails birthday and Christmas cards as well as letters. Under the di- rection of Miss Wilburn the Camera Club has sent more than twenty-five hundred pictures of Mineola High School and community life to the boys and girls in the services. A silver shower helped to de- fray the expenses of the club. Correspondence Club. E. Abel, A. Hoffman. M. Di Leva. Girls' Hi-Y. First Row: N. Simons. J. MacGeorqe. R. Lindsey. J. Hage, J. Haviland.

What better souvenir could he take than this journal containing the latest news from the corridors and classrooms of M. H. S. as well as such spicy features as lei et La? Published eight times a year, the Question Mark is the students' own newspaper. The pres- ent staff is headed by Irene Dzikielewski and Douglas Heydon, and other journalistic aspirants become its reporters and desk editors. Faculty advice is rendered by Mrs. Roberts, Miss Palmer and Miss Oprandy. It is the responsibility of another Mineola High Publicity: J. Kessler, R. Speck, A. Koch, A. McGowan. newspaper group, the Publicity Committee, to keep Alma Mater on the map. Each week a staff of writers turns in news of Mineola's activities to Miss Pulver for publication by local newspapers. Its members during the past year have included Ralph Speck, Joan Kessler, Barbara Wolverton, Audrey Koch and Anne MacGowan. Question Mark. First Row: J. Hage, M. Stephenson, K. Katz. J. Haviland. D.

Radiomen A goodly portion of the Mineoia High School building is occupied by its auditorium. Here weekly the students of Mineoia congregate to hear lectures, enjoy movies, and witness the par- ing of getting up and together try to spice school life with a variety of programs. These miniature Ziegfields often write, direct, and act out their own productions. In addition to planning and par- ticipating in the programs, the members of the councils take turns at announcing them. The Freshman Council this year was led by Elaine Conlin, Walter Hagan and Audrey Koch, The Senior division by Joan Andrews, Eugene Neville and Bernice Gary. The Assembly Council receives wholehearted cooperation in the presentation of assemblies from a student group known as the stagers, for no theater can properly function without the aid of these men who, shunning glory, work quietly in ticipation of their classmates in dramas and comedies. Each week these participants can be found here, busily engaged in the activities which are the answer to their dramatic aspirations. To facilitate a proper outlet for those who dream of bigger stages and of paying audiences, Mineoia has several organizations under the lead- ership of the dramatics coach, Miss Jane Austen. Behind the presentation of assemblies there is a hard-working group known as the Assembly Council. The people comprising the two councils stagger to school before most students are think- Assembly Council. Seated: N. Dunleavy. E. Neville. J. Andrews. E. Conlin. A. Koch, B. Gary. Standing: R.

Speck, H. Billings. At the semi-annual elections in January, Ralph Speck replaced Betty Dias as president and the other officers chosen were Richard Neimeyer and Nancy Dunleavy. The climax of yearly dramatic activities is the school play which is presented in December. This year Mineola's elite trooped to an evening per- formance of Junior Miss, a reproduction, as the Question Mark put it, of the famed Broadway hit. The popular story concerns adolescent Judy Graves (Joan Andrews) and her bosom pal Fluffy Adams (Rosalind Rose). These two blossoming Dorothea Dixes pair off Judy's uncle 'Richard Neimeyer), a man with a past, and the daughter (Elaine Conlin) of Judy's dad's boss. This con- siderably upsets the boss (Sylvester Maggio) and leaves Mr. and Mrs. Graves (Hilary Billings and Betty Dias) ip a rather delicate situation. Judy's sister (Pat Ferguson) and Hilda the maid (Norma Domnitz) are also affected by the affair and the characters played by Robert Epp, Rudy Hrivnak, Douglas Heydon, Gene Neville, Raymond Cull- man, Alfred Weismantel, Joe Vincenti, and Kenny Darrell ride along for the laughs. With the curtain on the school play, the cycle of another year of dramatics is completed. The curtain does not stay down long however, for Miss Austen is ever busy fostering her groups and the dramatics department marches on! School Play. First Row: H. Billings, J. Andrews. B. Dias.

Among the enig- matic workings of the electrical switchboard, among guy-wires, back-drops and curtain pulls, the Stagers continually make their contribution to assemblies and school plays, under the student supervision of Gerard Thomas. Without cooperation backstage, no production can be first-rate. Thus the Stagers are an especial aid to those students who hear the call of the foot- lights. It is to these would-be actors, who wish to run the gamut of stage experience from Gertie Lawrence to Gravel Gertie, that the National Thespians cater. The yearly activities of the Thes pians include a Thespian matinee or evening per- formance. These activities halt once a year to in- stall new Katherine Cornells and Frederic Marches into Mineola Troupe No. 276. 41 Ship's Band ALMOST any quiet, sunny afternoon, especial- ly in the spring, the solitude is likely to be blasted by the blaring of a trumpet, the whine of a violin, or a high note struck quaveringly on the vocal cords. Any Mineola student will instantly know that this is the Music Department at work. For the music-minded denizens of M.H.S. are seldom at rest. The band, consisting of forty-five members, starts off the season by playing at the Mineola Fair. It may then be seen parading down the field at every home football game, augmented by the Color Guard and the Drum Majorettes. However, the band's concerts are its special feats. The band has a big part in the Spring and Christ- mas concerts. It has brought to Mineola the old- fashioned concerts in the park during the summer months. Occasionally the band is called upon to give a musical send-off to the draftees. Often at rehearsals, Mr. Schwan has given, to those who wish, a chance to conduct the band, helpful ex- perience for student and band alike. This year the officers of the band are Bob Baxter, president, Leonard Chafetz, vice-president, and Joan Vetter, secretary. Less noisy, but hardly less important, is the orchestra. It too takes part in assemblies and re- citals and is always an important part of the Radio Revue. Outstanding contributions have been the orchestra accompaniments to the piano solos, Rhapsody in Blue played by Billy Regelmann, Tschaikowsky's Concerto in B-flat minor played by June Hage, Mozart s Piano Concerto in D minor and Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 played by Jeannette Gojean. Without the orches- tra in the pit accompanying instrumental and vocal solos, graduation would not be complete. The orchestra's officers are Billy Regelmann, presi- dent, Russell Varnum, vice-president, and Muriel DeVeau, secretary. An off-spring of the orchestra is the String Ensemble composed of ten members. A creation of its director, Mr. Castagna, the String Ensemble holds forth at recitals, lectures, evening plays and concerts. Senior Band. Kneeling: J. Bradicich, G. Thomopolus, B. Maribu, R.

The Choristers sing each week in assembly and some- times comprise the entire program. They have an extensive library of various kinds of music ranging from classical to semi-popular. Constant- ly on the job in concerts, assemblies and the Radio Revue, the Choristers are a mainstay of the music department. From the Choristers, Mr. Schwan selected twelve voices to form the Madrigal Singers. This group sings at recitals, concerts, the Radio Re- vue and in assembly programs, and has built up a good-sized repertoire since its debut in October 1944. The Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs also play a part in the activities of the Music Department. From these two groups are selected the members of the Choristers. The Glee Clubs take part in all Orchestra. First Row: J. Taylor. A. Koch. M. Johnson, M. DeVeau, E. Fitzgerald, B. Morris, A. Bauer. Second Row: R. Varnum, T. Ogonowslci. J. Clayton. E. Abel. M.

The Dance Band caters to those who crave jive at School dances. They practise regularly under the direction of Mr. Higgins. These swing- sters really go to town at the annual Radio Revue. This past term a great many of the Music De- partment members took advantage of the valua- ble experience offered by Sectional All-State Band, Orchestra or Choir concerts held at Free- port. Later these same people took part in the Nassau Band, Orchestra and Chorus at Hofstra College. In fact, Mineola's entire musical organization does not stop its playing and singing, its rehear- sals and public appearances, and its constant quest for new musical worlds to conquer, until it has exhausted an entire term, a great deal of music, and its industrious leader, Mr. Schwan, as well.

Under the able leadership of Miss Anne Gregory and Miss Alice Tesar a wide variety of sports is offered. These range from soccer, hockey and volleyball in the fall to basketball during the winter months and finally baseball, badminton and tennis in the springtime. Field hockey is one of the most popular sports among the girls. Eleven intramural teams were formed. These teams proceeded to battle among themselves, fighting for the privilege of wearing the small M which is awarded to the winning team. From the ranks of these teams, twenty-two girls were selected to comprise the honor teams. The honor teams this year were very successful in their campaign. They defeated Port Washing- ton and also beat Roslyn and Westbury in the annual Play-Day held at Adelphi College. Many girls prefer to lend their talents to soccer during the months of September and October. This year over one hundred girls participated in the sport. After weeks of competition an honor team in soccer was also chosen. With the coming of November, attention is drawn to volleyball. The main event of the volley- ball season is the Christmas Play Day. At this time other schools participate in competition to de- termine which school has the best team. M.H.S. has held the title for eleven straight years. Those eligible for the volleyball honor team were: Muriel Baker, Jean Cambria, Renee Cohen, Fran- ces Dewey, Anna-Marie Feeley, Donna Foley, Lenore Gehrig, Ruth Hachman, Joyce Haviland, Jane Johnson, Betty Kehn, Henrietta Koch, Joan McFadden, Helen Nicolello, Delia Otte, Adelaide Pecon, Evelyn Ridick, Nancy Simons, Adele Wei- mer.

After the Christmas vacation basketball begins in earnest. The twelve girls who are the most faithful and play the best game are rewarded with the privilege of being on the basketball honor team. These teams also entertain the girls' basketball teams from other schools on the home court. The following girls received an A rating for basketball: Jean Cambria, Renee Cohen, Rita Collins, Theresa Diamante, Donna Foley, Caroline Gal- luzzo, Lenore Gehrig, Jane Grasberger, Emily Hildebrandt, Jane Johnson, Betty Kehn, Audrey Koch, Ijfenrietta Koch, Dorothy Kuntz, Mary Little, Joan McFadden, Delia Otte, Adelaide Pecon, Stella Presti, Bernice Snelson, Marilyn Thompson. In the spring baseball, tennis and badminton take over. Strangely enough, the fellows aren't the only ones who like baseball. Try and keep the girls away from it! So many go out for it that over a dozen teams are formed. Tennis and bad- minton are extremely popular too. Many girls can be seen swinging their rackets in the bright May sunshine. Participation in these sports enables girls to earn credits which entitle them to membership in the Girls Athletic Association. Many a G.A.A. recruit can be spotted by the traditional dog collar around her neck. This collar signifies that she has earned six hundred credits, one hundred fifty of them for after-school work. G.A.A. initia- tions are held in February and October of each year. To each girl having eight hundred credits a large M is awarded. The highest award offered by the G.A.A. is the silver bracelet. In order to receive this, a girl must have twelve hundred credits and she must serve on two honor teams. The two most important events of the G.A.A. calendar are the banquet and the bicycle hike. The banquet is well attended by alumnae as well as students. It is an excellent chance for the girls to get together with former G.A.A. members. In the spring the girls pedal their way to Hemp- stead State Park. They spend a very enjoyable afternoon and evening playing, hiking, and of course, eating. The association not only offers fun and recrea- tion to the girls, but what is more important, aids in promoting teamwork and good sportsmanshio. 47 Signalmen BESIDES decorating the fields of contention in Maroon and Gray, Mineola High School's cheer leaders serve a twofold purpose. They ad- vantageously employ the spirited screams and yells of Mineola's fans in cheering for the fighting Mineola teams at all ball games. In this way, they give a lift to the morale of Mineola's players, a big factor in defeat or victory. The Cheerleaders are chosen once a year at the conclusion of the term. Tryouts are held and the process of elimination continues for several suspense-filled days. Finally, the required number of finalists are chosen and the Cheerleaders pre- pare for another year of shouting and jumping. Spirit and color are provided at every home football game and in all parades by the eye-filling Twirlers, or Drum Majorettes, who precede the band. These girls are chosen as needed by Mr. Schwan according to their twirling and strutting skills. Jacqueline Bradicich, state-twirling cham- pion, is the leader, followed by Harriet Ander- son, Ruth Cornwell, Barbara Maribu and Gloria Thomopolus. It can truthfully be said that the Cheer leaders and Twirlers have attracted much attention in Mineola's direction. •n Sixteen girls led by Captain Shirley Hyndman practice diligently throughout the year in order to spur the Mineola athletes to championship. Rehearsals are held three times a week during football season and the girls are particularly proud of the many original cheers produced at these times. Cheerleaders: D. Braster, D. Hill, E.

Gunners BASEBALL prospects looked good tor Mineola as the 1944 campaign got underway. As the season's play progressed, things looked even bet- ter. To be exact the Maroons suceeded in win- ning the North Shore Championship, setting a new county record by winning their first twelve games in succession, and finishing the season with a 15-3 won and lost record for a .833 percentage. Much of the credit for this highly successful season must go to Dick Kuster, for it was his strong right arm which brought Mineola eight of its fifteen wins while suffering only one defeat. The other pitchers were Ward Whitten, Eddie Schultz, and Floyd Cibulski, who alternated be- tween pitching and catching. The rest of the team consisted of Al Cohen at first, Charlie Pechette at second, Johnny Meeker at short, Joe Solosky at third, Bob Traetta, Eddie LaCagnin and Gus Drivas in the outfield, Howie Henkel and Joe Bowler behind the plate. Opening up the league season, Mineola took an 11-3 verdict over Glen Cove, with Dick Kuster doing the hurling. Pechette was the big sticker with a single and a double, while Eddie LaCag- nin contributed the fielding gem of the day. Retrieving George Fowler's line drive double off the center field wall, he unleashed a perfect peg to home plate from deep center field to nip Martone, who tried to score from first on the play. A traditional rival to the south, Garden City, played host to the Maroons in our next engage- ment. The Trojans put up a stiff fight, but finally fell when Mineola banged across two runs in the sixth inning to take the decision, 3-1. Ward Whit- ten was on the mound for the Maroon and Gray. Finally the game Mineola had been waiting for came around. Great Neck's ace, Tom Casey, was pitted against Kuster in a battle to the finish. Tied one-all at the end of the regulation seven frames, the game went into extra innings with Mineola finally banging aross three runs in the first half of the ninth to clinch the decision 4-1. The Maroons went on their merry way, swamp- ing Port Washington 15-5, stopping Manhasset 49 8-2, and shutting out Slen Cove 8-0. When they took a close 3-2 win from Garden City they set a new county record of twelve straight victories. The league record stood at seven wins and no losses; one more victory was needed to clinch the flag. However Mineola took the pennant in the next game by virtue of a 2-1 triumph over Port Wash- ington. The Maroons were pushed to the limit in this game, squeezing over the winning run in the ninth inning. Mineola took another victory from Manhasset by an overwhelming 14-1 score. This gave our boys a league record of nine wins and one loss. However, in the first post-league game Mineola was outscored by the St. Paul nine, 4-3. With the score knotted at 3-3 in the last half of the tenth, St. Paul succeeded in pushing over the winning marker to hand Mineola their second defeat. Meeting Hempstead for the first time in the year, Mineola went down to their third defeat by a 2-1 count. This game was only a preparation for the tilt with Roslyn to be played May 27 at a neutral field. Having beaten Roslyn twice be- fore, the Maroons were confident of victory. And justly so; For Mineola, scoring in every inning but two, ran up a 12-0 count behind the stellar shutout hurling of Dick Kuster. It was not to be had right away, however, for Mineola met Great Neck again. Tom Casey was unstoppable this time. He blanked Mineola with but two hits and succeeded in halting Mineola's streak at twelve. The final count was 5-0, Great Neck's favor. Mineola, by stopping Roslyn in this final playoff game, was awarded the coveted North Shore Athletic League crown. Credit was in order for Dick Kuster, mainstay of the pitching staff, Joe Solosky, whose .312 batting average led the team in hitting, and each and every player on the team who contributed his share towards the making of a championship team. Praise goes to Coach Haf- ner whose excellent management and superb gen- eralship added another championship to his al- ready long list of winners. The TRACK team, while not matching the Championship team of 1943, did have on its roster a number of runners who excelled in their field. Under the direction of Coach Schloderer, the Maroons succeeded in capturing the meets from Oyster Bay and Sea Cliff, and finishing third in the sixteenth annual North Shore Track and Field Championship. In track, more than in any other competitive sport, individual achievement counts above all. The trackmen who showed up so well were Joe 50 Buebe, Jack Hay. Bob Tate, Russell Varnum, Mike Labriola, Alvin Little, Dick McAleese, Wally Mc- Duffee, John Morris, Al Sillifant, Bob Reuter, Jack Ingalls, and Ed Soukup. In their first meet held May 3 at Oyster Bay, Mineola walked off with an overwhelming victory by an 87-33 count, garnering their highest point total for the season. A big help toward this high score were the double victories turned in by Jack Hay and Bob Tate in the junior events. Next, Mineola went to the Port Washington Invitation Meet, at which their only victory was the 100-yard dash. Moving on to Westbury our boys lost a close one 82-72. Mineola's loss was brightened some- what by the outstanding work of Joe Buebe, Jack Hay and Bob Tate. Mineola sent three relay teams to attend the Long Island Relays at Hofstra College on Satur- day, May I 3. The team of Varnum, Little, Labriola and McAleese made a good showing by taking the 440 relays. The Maroons captured third in the mile run, but came in fifth on the 880. Coming home, Minela played host to a Sea Cliff aggregation. Using Chaminade Bowl as a home track, Mineola out-ran Sea Cliff to the tune of 71-38. However, Sea Cliff failed to enter all the events, thereby weakening their chances im- measurably. Once more Mineola traveled to Port Washin- ton, this time for the sixteenth annual North Shore Track and Field Championships. Great Neck and Garden City put on a nip and tuck battle for first place honors, with Great Neck winning out by the merest fraction of a point. Mineola, not rated highly for this event, never- theless finished a close third, only 1.5 points be- hind the leader. Joe Buebe took the 440-yard dash with a time of 53 seconds. Varnum ran first in the 220 yard dash while the team of Tate, Hay McDuffee and Varnum romped off with the junior relay. Alvin Little came off with a first by seizing the running broad jump with a terrific leap of 19' IOI 2 . The final meet was the Long Island Champion- ship at Patchogue at which the Mineola Mercuries made a satisfactory showing by taking a number of races. Track Team. Seated: E. Fuctis, R. McAleese, R.

Carried on the winds of cool, crisp autumn, are the sounds of bounding pigskins, the slap of leather as the tacklers hit the dummy, and the grunts and groans of the linemen and backs alike as they run through gruelling practice sessions night after night to attain the perfection de- manded by Coach Hafner. After one month of such muscle-building work on the practice field, and some equally hard work mulling over the in- triate plays, the FOOTBALL squad is considered ready to face the foe, and the season is on. The 1944 varsity consisted of the following players: Captain Hautsch, Cibulski, Solosky, Buebe, Ranno, Bruchsel, Payntar, Bowler, Dannen- felser, Wham, Whitten, Drivas, Finsterle, Mro- zack, Vasiloff, Rogers, Jones, Kennedy, Steele, McAleese, Smith, Jahelka, Ostrowsky, Herd, Rey- croft, Little, Kessler, Gallagher, Himpler. In mid- season Lulu Bruchsel, third year varsity tackle, left for the Marine Corps. Opening against a vastly superior club, Baldwin, the inexperienced Maroons were swamped 31-7. Scoring in every period and twice in the last, the Blue and Gold racked up their score, while the only Mineola touchdown was scored in the final period when Captain Bill Hautsch took a lateral from Ward Whitten who had received a pass from Cibulski and went over for the TD. Lulu Bruchsel booted the extra point through the up- rights. Continuing in the rut into which they had fallen the week previous, Mineola fell before the assault of Great Neck for the first time in ten years. Scores came in every period but the last. With a touchdown in each of the first three periods, Great Neck tallied 20 to Mineola's 6. Mineola s lone score came on the same play as in the Bald- win game, with Joe Buebe on the scoring end of the lateral. Mineola came into the Freeport game a lowly underdog. The powerful Red Devils were favored to beat Mineola by two or three touchdowns. However, by striking early, Mineola scored in the opening minutes of play on the same pass-lateral which had scored in the other games, Buebe again going over for six points. Dick McAleese managed to put the pigskin between the bars for the extra Varsity Football. First Row: J. Bowler, H. Reycroft, L. Kennedy. W. Webster, A. Little, W. Vasiloff. W. Hautsch. Second Row: G. Kessler, R. Jahelka, A. Steele, W. Rogers, E. Himpler, M. Payntar, G. Finsterle. Third Row: H. Dannenfelser. R. McAleese. J. Buebe. R. Mrozack. F. Cibulski, R. Jones, H. Schmidt. Fourth Row: W. Whitten, R. Beedon, F. Gallagher, J. Solosky, R. Ranno, W. Smith, D. Wham, G. Remsen. 52 point. The rest of the game was a tribute to the defensive powers of MHS. In the closing minutes of the first half, Mineola held on their own one yard line, while in the second half, numerous spurts were cut short by the boys in Maroon and Gray. When the game was over and the final score was in, Mineola had come out on top 7-0. Discovering that they could win, the boys went right out and captured the next game from Glen Cove by a 20-6 count. This game was marked by long runs on Mineola’s part, and a lack of offen- sive power on the part of Glen Cove. Mrozack, Cibulski, and Hautsch ran wild with touchdown gallops of 60, 65, and 30 yards respectively. Dick McAleese managed to boot the pigskin straight and true two times out of three, comprising the total of MHS points. The lone Glen Cove tally came late in the second period with the try for the extra point no good. Bringing themselves up over the .500 mark for the first time since the start of the 1944 campaign, the Maroons went on to lick a stubborn Westbury squad 20-7. On two identical plays, Mineola jumped ahead I 3-0 in the first period. Twice in a row Mutt Cibulski dropped a long pass into the arms of George Finsterle, who carried the mail through for two quick TDs. McAleese placed one of his kicks through the uprights for the other point. The rest of the game resolved itself in a defensive stalemate. Westbury traded touch- downs with us, theirs coming in the second quar- ter, and ours coming in the last period on a plunge by Bill Hautsch. Cibulski scored the last extra point on a flat pass from Ray Mrozack. The Maroon and Gray came up against strong opposition in the Hempstead Tigers, and went down fighting 19-12. After Hempstead had scored twice in the first period, Mineola came slugging back with a 61 yard mad dash down the sidelines by Bill Hautsch for 12 points. With the game knotted up at 12 all, Joe Buebe broke loose for a long run into pay dirt, only to be called back for stepping out of the sidelines. Mineola was not to score again. Instead, Hempstead, keeping the Maroons dormant, managed to push over a score in the last period from the one yard line and go on to triumph, much to our dismay, 19-12. The final game of the 1944 football season was a fitting climax to a hard but successful year of bitter campaigning. Mineola came into this game with a better than .500 average hanging in the balance. This game meant the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful year. Meeting Valley Stream Central for the first time in a number of years, Mineola had picked a worthy opponent. Things looked mighty black when, early in the fourth quarter, Central smashed its way over for a score, to forge into the lead 12- 6. Our first touchdown had been scored by Joe Buebe near the end of the first half. Mineola didn't have much time left, but they started right in to work. Running the kickoff back to the Central 45 yard line, the team wasted a couple of plays and then the Cibulski-Finsterle combina- tion clicked for a long gain down to the 20 yard marker. A few more wasted downs, and then the pass — lateral which had worked so often, worked again. Cibulski fired a short pass to Dick Ranno who shovelled it off to Joe Buebe. Buebe danced the remaining 15 yards into the end zone with his second score of the day, knotting the count at 12 all. Now comes the payoff. Dick McAleese was sent in to try for the extra point and Captain Bill Hautsch was to hold. The ball was snapped back, Hautsch set down, and the educated toe of Dick McAleese went to work. Up went the ball, up, up and over the crossbar! Good for the extra point, and the ball game! Mineola was the victor, 13- 12. This final victory gave the Maroons a 4 and 3 record for the 1944 campaign. True, they started slowly. But once they found their footing, they came roaring through to take four out of their last five. Here's hats off to a gallant squad, Mineola's 1944 football team.

Once more sports- writers, coaches, and players throughout Nassau County were impressed when Coach Hafner took his basketball aspirants, molded them into a championship outfit, and brought them unde- feated through league play to topple Sea Cliff from the ranks of the unbeaten and to capture the North Shore basketball crown. Starting from scratch, Coach Hafner experi- mented in the preseason games, working with his players, shaping them into a team that would click as a unit. As a result of this experimenta- tion, Mineola did not do so well in the five games preceding the regular league play, winning two and losing three. The Maroon and Gray swung into league competition opening up against a weak Man- hasset squad. Outscoring the visiting quintet in every period, Mineola took an easy 46-16 de- cision. Swinging up to Glen Cove for the second league contest, Mineola banged up against a scrappy five. Our boys left the court at the half holding a mere one point advantage, but came back strong in the second half to gain the nod, 32-21. Next on the list of victims was Port Washing- ton High. The Port boys were vanquished 36 - 20, and Mineola moved on to tackle Great Neck. Not having taken a game from Great Neck in two years, the Mineola fans were gratified to see Jahelka, Works et al stop the Great Neck- ers 41 - 23. While Mineola was knocking off their oppo- nents one by one, neighboring Garden City was proceeding on like trail. Led by high scoring Carl Braun, they had ridden roughshod over their league opponents, and when Mineola met Gar- den City on the evening of February 2, the two teams were locked in a first place tie. There was a tense atmosphere when the Maroons invaded the Trojan court, and there promised to be a tough and exciting battle all the way through. Garden City took the opening top and pro- ceeded to control the ball for the first quarter. Mineola began to click as the second period pro- gressed. Every time Carl Braun went up for a shot, a Mineola player was on him, blocking his moves and bottling him up so effictively that he sank a meager total of five points for the night. The great defensive play was the key to Min- eola's success that night. In addition, Mineola Varsity Basketball. First Row: E. Breslin, R. Jahelka. W. Whitten. E. Works. G. Finsterle. C. McDermott, R. Mrozack. Second Row: L. Kennedy, G. Drives. J. Solosky, D. Herd. F. Cibulski, E. Schultz. displayed offensive strength, outrunning, outplay- ing and outshooting the Garden City quintet. Mineola took the victory over a highly vaunted Trojan five, 40 - 28. After the win over Garden City, Mineola took on Hempstead in a non-league affair. It looked like a repeat performance of our previous defeat by Hempstead as Harder put in a foul shot in the closing seconds to give Hempstead a 27 - 26 lead. But with ten seconds left to play, Jahelka took the ball down the court, set shot, and made it! The gun went off and Mineola had the win, 28 - 27. Back again in league play, Mineola met Glen Cove at our home court, and took them into camp by a 36 - 20 count. Mineola then proceeded to triumph over Port Washington 48 - 28. This was the last game in the high-school career of Cap- tain Bob Jahelka, as after this game he turned in his maroon and gray uniform for one of navy blue. Mineola went on to trample Great Neck 37 - 25, in a game preparatory to a rematch with Garden City. The Trojans had continued to swamp all other adversaries down to this next to the last game of the season. If the Trojans won this battle, the league race would end in a tie necessitating a playoff game. If Mineola won, it would clinch the pennant and the North Shore Western Division title. The first Mineola victory over the Garden City squad had been a defensive victory over Nassau's leading scorer, Carl Braun. In the second game, Braun ran slightly wild, pivoting like a whirling dervish, and sinking shots from impossible angles. However, one man does not make a basketball teayi. Following Ray Mrozack's lead, the Ma- roons put in enough baskets to hold a nine-point edge when the half-time whistle blew. But Garden City came back strong. At one time they cut the Mineola lead to one point, but couldn't quite nose ahead. Mineola pulled away and came through with the verdict and the pen- nant, 43 - 38. Mineola finished its regular season with a 44 - 25 win over hapless fifth-place Manhasset, giving Mineola an undefeated league season with a 10 and 0 record for league competition. Moving to neufral Chaminade, Mineola played a hard and fast tilt with Sea Cliff, winner of the North Shore Eastern Division Race. The Maroons grabbed an early 6 - 2 lead, but Sea Cliff, driv- ing hard, pulled back up and went ahead 15-12 at the end of the first half. In the third quarter the height of Works, Whitten, and Finsterle began to tell as the Ma- roons forged ahead 24 - 23. The last quarter was all Mineola's as the boys in Maroon and Gray put in 14 points. Sea Cliff, due to McDermott's work on the defensive backboards, succeeded in scor- ing only 6 points and went down to their first defeat in seventeen engagements, 38 - 29. The 1944-45 campaign concluded with a bang- up playoff at Hempstead's court with power- laden Sewanhaka, victors in the South Shore play- off over Oceanside. This was the game to decide the champs of Nassau County. Mineola grabbed the opening tap off but a mispass gave Sewanhaka possession of the ball. Gunderson and Anderson put in four quick points to give Sewanhaka an early lead. Ray Mrozack put in a set for Mineola and the quarter ended with Sewanhaka leading, 8 - 2. Continuing in the same line, the Floral Park quintet increased their lead to a half-time margin of 20 - II, and a third period edge of 31-18. In the fourth and final quarter there was an awakening in the Mineola ranks and a resurgence of the old power. But it was a case of too little, too late. The Maroons outscored Sewanhaka this last period, 11-4, but the purple and white lead was too much to overcome. The Maroon and Gray went down fighting before the Sewanhaka Indians, 35 - 29. Anderson of Sewanhaka was high with 14 points while Ed Works took Mineola honors with 10. Sewanhaka received the section 8 trophy while Mineola was given the playoff basketball. The Mineola fans can well be proud of their basketball team. After a shaky early season start, they saw their heroes come through with 14 straight wins, an undefeated league record, the North Shore Championship, and the final won-lost record of 15 and 4. They saw the Ma- roons put up a valiant fight before falling to the high flying Sewanhaka Indians. And they saw a real example of sportsmanship and ability. Theirs was the most successful basketball season Mineola has seen in a number of years. 55 Boatswains SINBAD'S sea-legs had carried him through every corridor and classroom of M.H.S. and as the shadow of the school building began to creep toward the park, he made his last stop at Room 108 where the Signet staff was busily try- ing to meet the deadline. Through the window his magic carpet could be seen, moored to the flag- pole on the front lawn, its invisible motor hum- ming impatiently. Nearby, Mr. Kinsey stood warily waiting for somebody to remove the darn thing so he could take down the flag and go home. But Sinbad seemed in no hurry to leave. He leafed slowly through the yearbook material, re- calling the persons and places he had seen in Mineola High. The whole story of your visit to Mineola is there, Sinbad, interjected the editor. And next time you come you shall have a copy of the Signet for yourself. Sinbad’s happy smile prompted the question, Where will you be flying to next? Being a sailor, I think I'll fly over Brooklyn and have a look at the Navy Yard. Then I'll travel home westward. 'Tis sad I am to be going and I want to thank you for your kindness. I'll re- member Mineola always. Come again, Sinbad, the Signeteers cried as he climbed on his carpet. I will. And Allah be with you 'til then. The magic carpet grunted and glided silently from the lawn into the air and over Emory Road. Sinbad waved slowly and gazed poignantly at the facade of Mineola High School as the carpet carried him further and further away. The keen- eared claim he made one last remark as he sailed into the sunset: There's nothing like it in Bagdad! Signet Editorial Staff. First Row: H. Koch. R. Niemeyer, C. Guarino, R. Speck, G.
