THE ALBUM OF c NAMF PLACE lyf ljsrve Cas tL ky tfcAjoirC ADDRESS VW. B.md Photo by Fireplace Studio FOREWORD The purpose of the 1948 Signet is to present a treasure chest of memories—the seniors’ recollections of high school and of the activities which were so much a part of their life as students. Months of work by the staff was necessary to make this book a realization. If, however, enjoyment is found in reading this volume and a true picture of school life is presented, we shall feel our labors were successful. 2 MRS. BEATRICE ENGELMANN MRS. MARY MAHER The seniors of January and June, 1948, dedicate this book, highlighting our memories through high school, to our class advisors- Mrs. Beatrice Engelmann and Mrs. Mary Maher. The January class sincerely appreciates the wise guidance and helpful suggestions, in all their activities, of Beatrice Engelmann, their petite and attractive class advisor. Her sparkling personality and eagerness to help were an inspiration to the class. Through her able assistance their dances and the prom, as well as other class projects, were very successful. We shall remember her most for her cheerful friendliness and unfailing sense of humor. Mrs. Maher, the advisor of the June class, will be remembered for her initiative, industriousness and effervescent personality. She has had much to do with the success of all their class ventures: dances, the sale of jewelry, and the promotion of the “Signet. This charming and friendly teacher with her inevitable “Why, of course, we can do it, has given us muclvneeded confidence throughout our entire high school days.

This council, composed of five of our most civic-minded citizens: Patrick J. Walshe, presi- dent; William T. Hicks, vice-president; Frank E. Barnes, William D. Lotz and George F. Stra- dar—gives freely of its time and energy to as- sure the young people of this community the best educational opportunities possible. These men are concerned chiefly with the over-all problems of organization and financing of our educational program. They are always alert to our needs and are responsible for giving us a competent and modern educational system. Our principal, Ralph L. Sloat, is a man we have come to look upon as a friend and guide due to his interest and help in our activities. At the end of our four years at M.H.S., Mr. Sloat is acquainted with not only the scholastic record of almost every pupil, but with the student per- sonally. Never will we forget Mr. Sloat’s peppy “Step lively, please before classes, nor his ever- menacing shillelagh. We will always consider Mr. Sloat an important part of Mineola High School, both as a principal and as a friend. Kenneth S. Terry, besides fulfilling his respon- sibilities as assistant principal, directs the various student service activities. As advisor of the Pro- jection Squad, he selects and instructs its poten- tial members. He also chooses the Candy Girls, seeing that there is always a sufficient number to sell the much desired confectionery. Checking up on questionable absenteeism is an unpleasant duty which falls to Mr. Terry; in fact, it was through this that many of us became acquainted with him. Nevertheless, pleasant memories of this genial man will linger with us always. IN APPRECIATION OF 25 YEARS Twenty-five years ago when Dr. Harlan B. Allen became superintendent, the Mineola schools were housed in one building on Willis Avenue. Now, the Mineola District boasts six fine schools established under his leadership, not to mention a very capable faculty and an extensive field of study. Dr. Allen is an understanding friend of the stu- dent, a versatile leader of the administration. The team of faculty and student body is proud to work with this progressive captain. nm u auu «■■■! LI. i IIU.L.r We have attempted, in our English classes, to develop a mature and varied vocabulary and to acquire some degree of proficiency in reading, writing and speak- ing. Our first introduction to fine writing and our growing ability to understand and enjoy it will be long remembered. A special treat this year was the use of records by Orson Welles and Judith Anderson in Mac- beth. The study of English has been of primary importance to us as high school students since we have had to put our ac- quired knowledge to immediate and constant use. In our study of mathematics few of us will forget our dark grapplings with the unknown quantity; the disgust or delight with which we made the complex acquaint- ance of Euclid; the unlimited patience of our math teachers, whose repeated assur- ances that the whole thing is deceptively simple only rarely were convincing. Some of us will recollect the joy with which we tackled a particularly difficult problem; some others will re-live the old pencil-chewing reluctance. Preparing for future positions in the business world, we chose one of two pos- sible majors in the commercial department: vocational bookkeeping or vocational sten- ography. In either case we studied such subjects as business arithmetic, typewriting, bookkeeping, business law, and shorthand. Although we may have complained bitterly about the unfair complexiteis of shorthand and suffered the effects of broken tempers and fingernails in typing, we have gained a background of business understanding which, with or without supplementation, will make us capable employees.

BUSINESS Seated: Beatrice Hubbard, Violet Lynde (secre- tary), Elizabeth Miller, Rosemary Ball, Helen Oprandy; Standing: Gretchen Bubie, Harriet Proaper, Bette Bertschinger (secretary), Anne Hastings (secretary). We won't forget the heated debates in social studies, conducted to the accompani- ment of much hand-waving and finger snap- ping. We have studied world geography, history, and economy during our courses with the ultimate aim of tracing from their origins American institutions and culture. The problems of the present-day have been analyzed through the medium of weekly newspapers, supervised trips to the United Nations, and class discussion in order to give us the understanding necessary for competent citizenship. Some of us will reminisce, with a mix- ture of loathing and satisfaction, about our struggles with irregular verbs or pronunci- ation. In our language classes we gained an insight into the natures of those countries which have come to be our neighbors. Latin has maintained a position of great import- ance in scientific, technical, and legal fields; Spanish, German, and French have commer- cial value as well. El Circulo Espanol gives students an opportunity to visit Spanish quarters in New York City. Each year Latin students of exceptional ability are entered in the contest sponsored by New York University. Some of us established, perhaps in prepa- ration for college, a background of science, chemistry, physics, and biology. We remem- ber, some of us happily, some with distaste, our efforts to balance chemical equations, to solve an especially fiendish problem in phy- sics, or to complete one of the seemingly endless diagrams in biology or science. The biology and chemistry clubs gave interested students additional opportunities to under- take private projects and to make practical application of the theories learned in class.

HIS HHUI! fl! ill ill lillf The numerous activities of the music department gave many of us an opportunity to develop our vocal and instrumental tal- ents. The mischief-makers among us also displayed their talents in washing black- boards and polishing sousaphones, two of the punishments meted out by the music council. This newly formed group, com- posed of the officers of the boys’ and girls' glee clubs, choristers, orchestra, and the band, tried those unfortunates who were tardy or disorderly. They distributed de- merits and other more distasteful penalties with a generous hand. Exclamations of delight from some of our teachers might indicate that the boys in the vocational department had finished over- hauling their instructors’ balky cars. This flourishing, although unlucrative, business was carried on by pupils learning automo- bile and aircraft engine mechanics. Students planning careers in industry were prepared also in industrial arts, electronics, mechan- ical drawing and blueprint reading. Some of our best memories concern con- ferences with our guidance advisors. They helped us recognize our aptitudes and abili- ties and to plan our high school courses in accordance with them. With their assistance we chose the colleges and careers best suited to us. Through the placement service main- tained by the guidance office many of us secured after-school and full-time positions. Besides the required physical education classes, most of us participated in inter- school and intra-mural sports. We gained, in addition to pleasant memories of spir- ited wranglings over disputed points and noisy commentary from the sidelines, an understanding of sportsmanship and a spirit of teamwork which will never leave us.

JANUARY 1949 Breathing hard upon the necks of the seniors came the January 49ers. Realizing the need of capable leaders this class chose Joan Fraas, Dee Petrasek, and Ray Bagno as their officers and Mr. Ralph Wilhelm as advisor. They readily solved their financial problems by pre- senting two dances, the Jo Jo Jump and Autumn Serenade, which were successful from both the financial and social viewpoint. Additional coins were added to the treasury by selling football pins. In the fall of '47 cams the long-anticipated day when the jewelry arrived. In a few hours many an advanced junior hand was adorned with a shining class ring. With pride and dignity they look forward to their fast-approaching senior year. R. B igno, D. Petrasek, J. Fraas, M. Hirsch. A. Jablonski, J. Kicscl, M. Pnnncvis, A. Bauer. JUNE 1949 The class of June, 1949, follows closely at the heels of its senior brothers and sisters. In Sep- tember, 1947, the members of this class, one of the largest classes in officially organ- ized. They selected as their proficient advisor Mr. Bernard Hausman. The next thing on the agenda was to elect their class officers. In the ensuing election of officers Alfred Bauer emerged as president, supported by Marianne Pannevis as vice-president, Steve Jablonski as secretary and Jean Kiesel as treasurer. In October they selected and ordered their class rings. Their selection was a modern gold setting with a choice of either a ruby or onyx stone. On October 17 the juniors gave their first dance, the Talent Hop. It was one of the most novel affairs that was ever given by a newly organized class. The dance was held in the Music Room on a Friday afternoon. The main event of the dance was a Lindy and Foxtrot dance contest which was judged by two dancing instructors from one of the famous Arthur Mur- ray Dancing Studios. It was a huge success and put the first money in their treasury. Only two months after they had organized, these ingenious juniors were well-launched into the hectic life of upper classmen and had shown themselves capable of handling the job well. The juniors are already making plans for the future for raising money to fill their treasury. We are sure that they will have success in all their undertakings, for with so promising a start comes the guarantee for a successful future. 1- SOPHOMORES Ah, to he a sophomore! How wonderful it is to have so many of the activities of the school before you, your freshman, year behind, and three years in which to attain your goal. The sophomore year constitutes one of the most jubilant and carefree parts of your high school life. The students in this class have not yet organized, nor have they done anything as a class. They are in the transitional period be- tween being freshmen and upper classmen. Al- though they have learned their way around, they have not yet the problems and responsibili- ties of the juniors and seniors. But too soon the year flies by and they will be in the ranks of the juniors. These members of the student body who are seen running about completely carefree will be the leaders of the school, the officers of the clubs. We are sure they will have success in all their undertakings as the representatives and leaders of their school. FRESHMEN As each new term arrives, a group of saucer- eyed freshmen is found trying to accustom themselves to the busy atmosphere of M.H.S. These novices with class schedules in hand can be very amusing. They are often seen in a fren- zied state trying to locate their lockers. Some students have been known to lock their lockers and hang the key on the inside of the ventilator slot, only to find that they cannot get it out again. After walking into the wrong rooms, leaving their pens and books in classrooms and furnish- ing amusement to humdrum study halls, they soon get used to the roaring laughter of their upperclassmen. High school is at first difficult and confusing for the freshmen. They find themselves in a large group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have forgotten their own trials as freshmen and have no sympathy for the newcomers. Eventually the freshmen join and participate in the courses and activities offered by our school. 15 Photo by Fireplace Studio First Row—E. Elflcin; E. Free; G. Remsen; H. Mun.10; W. Pewarski; W.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Mineola opened its football season on the 26th of September with a hope of revenge for last year's losses. It started off on the right foot by beating a spirited Baldwin team. The out' come of the game was settled early in the first half as Mineola took a lead of 13-0 at the half. Mineola's first touchdown came as a result of Gene Cuomo's lateral to Dick Lofrese, who scampered 25 yards to paydirt. Cuomo then converted from placement. In the second quarter Cuomo tossed a thirty' yard pass to Nolie Stovall, who took it on the three and went over to score. The final score was 13'6 in favor of the Maroons. With a win under their belt the Maroons visited Great Neck. Great Neck scored early after a drive of 77 yards. Jay Bryne's placement netted the extra point which was to prove the margin of victory. Mineola's lone score came on Cuomo's 44'yard end run. Photo by Fireplace Studio SCHEDULE Lofrese forced out by a pair of Lawrence ladders. Mineola's Murtha in background.

Mine- ola’s first t.d. came when Cuomo lateraled to Lofrese, who went over for the score. Lofrese also scored the second touchdown on a five- yard end run. In their next game, Freeport was hard put to beat a stubborn Mineola eleven by 13-6. The Maroons matched Freeport's early score when Nolie Stovall took a pass in the end zone for the t.d. Freeport rallied to score in the closing minutes and that meant the ball game. Lofrese carries through hole in Great Neck line as Gal- luzzo does the blocking. The Maroons played a poor game against Glen Cove and as a result lost 14-0. Mineola threatened the Covers a few times but was stopped short each time. Mineola tried hard in the last half but could not gather enough mo- mentum for a victory. Mepham hit the airlines to secure its win over Mineola, 12-0. Mepham scored after a long pass deep in Mineola's territory. The sec- ond touchdown was scored on a run back of an intercepted pass. In their final game of the season, the Maroons went down in defeat to Hempstead by the score, 33-7. Cuomo scored early in the game as he intercepted a Hempstead pass and went 35 yards for the score.

This was not exactly a J.V. team but merely a team selected so that the inexperienced players on the varsity would have an opportunity to get experience. This experience can only be picked up by actually playing in games. This team also provided the boys who did not see much action in the varsity games many chances to show their real skill. On October 6 the J.V. traveled to Great Neck for its first game. This game turned out to be a real contest between the two rival schools. At the sound of the closing whistle the game ended in a 6-6 tie. Bill Slater scored the touchdown for Mineola on a brilliant 19-yard run. In their next game the Maroons ran over a smaller Westbury eleven by the score 19-0. Labriola was the difference in the game, as he scored two of Mineola's three touchdowns. Facing Glen Cove for their last game, the J.V. really went to town. George Labriola went 55 yards of tackle on the first play of the game. The Mineola line gave excellent blocking all through the game. This blocking helped Labri- ola, Glavas and Capelluto to break away for much yardage. The final score was 38-0, which was all in Mineola’s favor. J.V.

Twelve of our peppiest, most glamorous girls, under the captaincy of Mickey Jones, and the direction of Miss Anne Gregory, give our teams the push toward victory that they so often need. It is the secret ambition of every female un- derclassman to be a member of this squad and help lead the M.H.S. students in the various tongue-twisting cheers and tonsil-tearing yells. Highly competitive try-outs give all the poten- tial cheerleaders an opportunity to demonstrate their cheering ability. After a long and tiring session of elimination the girls are selected. Garbed in tricky uniforms of maroon and gray velveteen, the girls present a striking pic- Front to Back: B. Jones, M. Nolan, J. Stevenson, J. Pon- tifex, M. Tilley, B. Reuter, B. Maribu.

M.H.S. is duly proud of these girls, because our cheerleaders are—why, they’re terrific! 19 HOCKEY The girls' hockey season opened this year with the usual hustle and hustle. According to custom the fundamentals were first taught in class; they were then put into practice in the intramural games which are held between the freshmen and sophomores on Tuesday, and the juniors and seniors on Monday. This year there were eight teams formed. When the hockey season terminates, the two top teams meet in the playoffs. Each member of the winning team is presented with a hockey shield. Center: B. Sweeney, T. Di.imanti. Background: B. Lee (manager), J. Gerry, P. Miller. E. McNamara, B. Foulkes, E. Armstrong. A. Nygren, J. Matthei, D. Jeremiah, L. Russo, D. Kuntz. J. Morretta, P. Kochey, A. Twaddle. D. Nygren, F. DeSilvestro, J. Geller, B. Scott. Then comes the excitement of the honor team tryouts. All girls are eligible for trying out re- gardless of class. Enough girls are chosen to form a first and second team. This year there are five freshmen girls on the second honor team. The girls are chosen on the basis of: skill in using their stick and handling the ball, speed in taking the ball down the field, ability to cooperate and work with the team, and sportsmanship. The girls were chosen by Miss Gregory and the hockey manager, Barbara Lee. The honor team takes part in the playoffs with several other schools; these are held at Adelphi College. Every year there is a playday held at Mineola to which three or four other schools are invited. This year Mineola invited Roslyn, Hempstead, and Port Washington. Hockey honor letters are awarded to those girls who have played on the honor team for two years. This year honor letters were pre- sented to the following: A. Twaddle, D. Nygren, J. Fraas, D. Jeremiah, M. Ridick, D. Kuntz, and B. Allwork. First Row: J. Reymann. I. Miessner, D. Winter, D. Comcrma, B. Buttcrworth, J. Linne- kin. J. Larkin; Second Row: P. Dempsey. M. McCartney, E. Kiefer, J.

ARCHERY SOCCER Zinging arrows may suggest the cavortings of Robin Hood's merry men to some; but to us they indicate that the archery club is meeting at Hampton Street School. Archery, a through-the-year sport, is under the direction of Mr. John Waterbury, principal of Hampton Street School. The activities of the club culminate in a dinner at the end of the year, at which time archery letters are awarded. Officers are Rita Gaylo, president; Mary Mc- Cartney, vice-president; Dolores Winter, secre- tary-treasurer; Diane Comerma, publicity chair- man; Dorothy Shaw, assistant director. Soccer, the sport that ranks high on the list of girls' sports in M.H.S., is under the direction ot Miss Freund. During the season after-school games are scheduled. Playoffs are held between the two top teams and the winning team is awarded the soccer shields. This year shields were awarded to both of the leading teams, due to a tie in the playoff game. Mineola has the distinction of being the only high school on Long Island that participates in girls’ soccer. Seated: C. Gcrrity, D. Cambria, J. Collins, A. Pfalzer, J. Grandwilliams, F.

As part of their studies these aspiring young mechanics delve into the intricacies of airplane motors. Our attractive campus and neat school building are due to the effiicency of our custodian staff, two mem- bers of which arc Mr. George Ruppel and Mr. Wil- liam Murphy. A popular corner of the music room contains the phonograph. Before classes groups of music students gather here to listen to their favorite records. Archery, a year-round sport, has become very popu- 22 lar with the students. The members of Mineola’s arch- ery club have successfully participated in many tourna- ments. n order to gain experience, vocational students re- pair automobile motors. Proof of their competent work is the increasing demand for their services. Repairing automobiles is very interesting work, but there is one slight annoyance. As is illustrated, your face may acquire a few grease spots. A visitor to the Guidance Department would, in all probability, find such a group of students studying while waiting to discuss their scholastic problems. JANUARY SENIORS EXCERPTS FROM THE CLASS LOG The January seniors organized in their sopho- more year and elected the following officers: Donald Speck, president; Doris Nygren, vice- president; Marie Serra, secretary; Albo Bua, treasurer. . . . First dance, the Junior Jig, was M.C.d by Charles Darrell; Jackie Bradicich twirled; Terry Neville tapped: Bill Davis and George Labriola played a boogie woogie duet. . . . When Donald Speck, Marie Serra, and Albo 3ua advanced a class, they were replaced by George Galluzzo, Joan Ballard, and Charles Dar- rell. . . . With the music room decorated to create a night-club atmosphere, our first evening dance. Club '48, was held. Bob Hembach acted as master of ceremonies; the Nygren twins and Jackie Bradicich furnished the entertainment. . . In the March re-election of officers for our senior year, we chose George Galluzzo, Doris Nygren, Ann Nygren, and Buddy Morgensen as president, vice-president, secretary, and treas- urer, respectively. . . . Mineola pennants were cold to add to our treasury. . . . The Poor Man's Prom was something new in the way of a class dance. Old clothes were proper attire; decorations consisted of ingenious newspaper fringings and card tables resplendent with their tin cans; entertainment was provided by the Korn-Shuckers, a quartet specializing in Hillbilly music. . . . The prom given for the June, 1947, seniors was unusually successful, both socially and finan- cially. The theme—plantation gardens— was used in transforming our gym into a beautiful garden bordering a plantation house. One of the largest crowds to attend a prom danced to the smooth music of Tony De Rosa's orches- tra. . . . All too soon caps and gowns were fitted; our motto—“Find a Way or Make One was cho- sen; our last dance, The Squaw's Delight, be- came just another memory; and we bade fare- well to the halls of M.H.S. 24 I.

The number of girls participating in this intra-mural sport far wAceeds the total taking part in any other. It is .ndeed a very well liked sport and all are anxious to find out who will ultimately be the members of the honor team. One can find the seniors matching their skill with that of the juniors on Tuesdays, and on Thursdays the ability of the sophs is pitted against that of the lowly but nimble frosh. A play day is held at the end of the season at which the two top teams battle for the volleyball letter, and following this the members of the victorious team play various other schools. This is the climax of the volleyball season, and even the defeated teams root loudly for the team re- presenting Mincola. With crossed fingers they hope that their team emerges the victors. Throughout the period in which volleyball is played, after school, much chatter is exchanged about how many games respective teams have won and how far they are from the envied top two groups of players. Many amusing incidents occur as results of the enthusiastic attempts of the girls to save the ball. Unexpected falls and sprained fingers do not prevent team mates from trying harder and harder to defeat the group on the other side of the dividing net. Sportsmanship is well developed in the large number of volleyball participants, also the en- thusiastic spirit with which they play this popu- lar game. Seated, First Row: E. Collar, J. Collins, B.

The future looked bright in Mineola High for a successful 1947-48 basketball season. With Pechette, Stovall and fine material from the second string and J. V., Coach DcPhillips formed the nucleus of his Maroon five. The Maroons opened the season with a bang as they downed St. Paul, 45-30. In their follow- ing game Mineola lost to a strong Freeport team, 57-32. The County-seaters had beaten Westbury and Farmingdale before Roslyn came along to put an end to their streak of wins. Nolie Stovall tickled the nets for 23 points in a losing cause. The Maroons were again defeated by Freeport before they rolled over Great Neck, 52-38, in the first league game. Garden City also fell in the path of the Maroons as they continued to win and drove for first place. Manhasset scored a stunning victory by up- setting Mineola, 50-46. Glen Cove, Port and Hempstead were then mowed down by the Ma- roons. Facing Garden City again, Mineola was stopped by a hot Trojan line, 66-43. From thence Mineola went on to avenge a previous loss to Manhasset, winning easily, 51- 38. Glen Cove next came on to beat the County- seaters, 35-33, in a hair-raising game. Mineola again showed its power as it beat Great Neck, 54-40. This year's team deserves plenty of credit for its spirit to win which pushed them on to many victories. 36 i it rj V WMi x Dcc. Jan. Fcb.

Under the direction of Miss Gregory and Miss Freund the rules and practices are taught in class. After school games are scheduled on Tuesdays for the juniors and seniors, and on Thursdays for the freshmen and sophomores. This year there are seven junior-senior teams and eight freshmen-sophomore teams. Every team plays two games a week. For every game won the team gets five points. Because of the large number of girls partici- pating in basketball it is impossible for an exten- sive program to be carried out. The program is arranged so as to suit the majority of the girls. At the end of the season the jr.-sr. team that has the most points plays the leading fr.- soph, team in the playoff. The winning team is present- ed with the honor M's” which distinguish them as the top team in the girls' basketball. The honor team is chosen from those girls who have proved to be outstanding in the after- school games. The girls that made the honor team this year are: B. Allwork, T. Diamanti, J. Fraas, J. Morretta, J. Beedon, L. Palka, B. Sweeny, J. Geller, J. Collins, D. Jeremiah, A. 38 f Kneeling: A. Felton, R. Vogel, W. Campbell, R. Chase, A. Hay. Standing: C. Miller, H. Hammett, D. Hafner, G.

Through constant practice and drillwork, the team recovered from a poor start to complete the season admirably. The J. V. are the heirs apparent to the positions vacated by the Varsity. We hope they will carry out their promise and complete next season with an impressive record. The Jay Vee consisted of 14 boys in all. At the forward positions were Bob Vogel, Herb Hammett, Charlie Miller, Joe Anderson and Bob Kessler, Centers were Allan Hay, Bill Dec. 5 St. Paul M.H.S. 23 Opp. 27 9 Freeport 12 Westbury . . . . 16 Farmingdale 28 31 19 Roslyn Jan. 6 Freeport 44 9 Great Neck . . 13 Garden City . . 40 49 Campbell, Duck McGeorge and A1 Felton.

Star of the game was Bob Vogel with 26 points to his credit. J.V.'s most spectacular win was over once- defeated Garden City. This was a thriller right down to the end. Mineola won on a foul shot by Herb Hammett with five seconds to go. 16 Manhasset 23 Glen Cove 30 Port Washington . . .27 41 3 Hempstead . .31 38 6 Garden City .... . .40 11 Manhasset 13 Glen Cove 16 17 Great Neck 24 20 Port Washington . . .41 47 39 Photo by Fireplace Studio Mincola tries the pick-off play as opponents’ base runner hustles back to first base.

The Senior Prom. 40 JUNE SENIORS “Your wish is my command! shouted an ac- robatic member of the decoration committee as he leaped up to the basketball backboard to hang some crepe paper. With lots of enthusiasm this group from the class of June, 1948, had come to prepare the gym for the Winter Carnival to be held that night—-January 10, 1948. Mr. and Mrs. Snowman, glistening with delight, supervised the prom from their enviable positions on either end of the refreshment table. This class had organized in their junior year by electing Jack Nolan, president; Betty Reuter, vice president; Sina Hansen, secretary; Walter Hildebrandt, treasurer. They chose for their class advisor Mrs. Mary Maher. Their first un- dertaking was the successful dance, the Hippity Hop. The Spring Ball was equally profitable, and the height of their success was the senior prom. In September, 1947, the class reelected Jack Nolan and Sina Hansen to their positions as president, and secretary, respectively. Jeanne Beedon became the new vice president and George Labriola, treasurer. The class did a flourishing business in the sale of costume jewelry and with great satisfaction watched their bank account grow. Members of the class have won recognition in all departments of the school. Pep and enthusiasm plus coopera- tion have characterized all of their undertakings. As the time drew closer to the day of gradu- ation, these once-bewildered classmates were re- luctant to leave their alma mater with its pleas- ant memories. Nevertheless they looked forward to exploring the new fields lying ahead. 42 TOP ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: EDITH ABRAMS Glee Club; Radio Revue; Badminton; Volley' ball. Petite but sweet.

The team got off to a good start in the exhibition games, sport- ing a 4-2 won-and-lost record before entering league play. The Maroons started things off right by defeating Manhasset with a 6-2 triumph. Home-runs by Hildebrandt and Ferrulli high- lighted the game. Traveling to Great Neck, Min- eola lost a tough one by a 7-6 count in nine inn- ings. Fred Pechette hit a homer for Mineola. Glen Cove then came to town and beat Min- eola in a pitchers duel between Del Vecchio and Spy. The final score was 2-1. A return game with Manhasset was won by Mineola, 3-1. Min- eola then went on to lose to Garden City, 9-1, in a poorly played game. Facing Great Neck for the second time, the Maroons lost another nine inning game to them by the score of 6-3. Mineola took another vic- tory at the expense of Port Washington, win- ning, 4-2. In a return game with Garden City, Mineola lost, 5-1, with Hamilton's hit preven- ting a no-hitter for Stuhr. Taking on Port, Mineola downed them in a thrilling thirteen inning game by a 2-1 score.Min- eola lost to Glen Cove, 5-1, for the last game of the season. Thus another fairly successful season was com- pleted at Mineola High. 58 TRACK The Mineola track team under Coach Wright had had little time to get in shape when the Port invitation rolled around. Although many entered, only Daley and Henry placed for Mineola. They gathered nine points for Mineola in the sprint races. Daly finished fourth and third in the sen- ior 100 and 220 yard dashes, respectively. Cop- ping second in both junior dashes, Dick Henry captured six points. In their first dual meet Mineola lost by a score of 102-58 to Westbury. George Sima won the half mile and the Senior Relay team of Murtha, Patterson, McGuinty and Warta also won their event. The North Shore Championship was held at Westbury, the outstanding performers again be- ing Daley and Henry. The next meet was at Great Neck, where the Maroons were defeated, 97-57. Mineola's lone double winner was Sima, winning the half mile and the broad jump. Broderick, Murtha, Henry and Capelluto were other Mineola win- ners. Although the track team did not have a very impressive record, the boys deserve a great deal of credit for all the time spent in practice and getting their form. The boys tried hard and cer- tainly deserve a pat on the back. First Row: R. ScHliehting, D. Ring, R. Smith, C. Gillespie, K. Jodry, R. Buebe, J. Juergens. 2nd Row: J. Daly, J. Capelluto, E.

After a grueling workout, these stalwarts are barely able to respond to the shrill blast of the final whistle Studying current events in the park has its disadvan- tages, as this picture of somewhat crowded conditions may indicate. Despite the campus patrol's injunctions, when spring comes to M.H.S. many find the savor of their lunch improved by the open air. June Henrich, a junior in M.H.S., is U.S. Champion figure skater. Feminine prowess in sending the shuttlecock over the net is showed in a gym class. All these engrossed fellows find the radio course a good way of learning watt’s watt. Mineola's band is a favorite at the annual county fair. 60 rh� giiit'io� u � k '• '5 i CaM cj ggj QUESTION MARK i Il MARK OFFICERS. Seated: M. Puutc- vU. R. Gaylo. M. Fridcrich . D. Giniger.

That was just Flo Harrington, editor-in-chief of our school paper, asking her assistant editors, Maureen Friderichs and Rita Gaylo, to make sure that a picture of Mr. Sloat is filed away. The purpose of the paper, which comes out once a month, is to keep the students informed about the many activities and personalities of the school.

Slogans such as this caught the eye of students in M.H.S. during the Signet's advertising campaign. The Signet staffs had been chosen in May, 1947. Soon afterwards came their first meeting with Mr. Jackson, the Campus representative. Everyone will remember this meeting as the one in which no one could think or any qustions to ask. Was the silence caused by talk of bleeding pages, following a dummy and glossy prints? In September we selected our theme, chose the cover, and sold the first advertisements. Soon after this the dummy arrived and the 1948 Signet began to take form. Workers on the Yearbook received valuable experience. The sale of ads, writing stories and the many contacts with fellow students all increased our knowledge. 63 Front Row: J. Mark, J. Fraas, G. Galluzzo. K. May, N. Cummings. Second Row: S. Hansen, J.

The dates for the two senior proms, the school play, and all outstanding events were scheduled by this board. The Council also sent represent- atives to each meeting of the Nassau League of Student Councils. The Assembly Council's diligent planning re- sulted in the varied assemblies this year. Besides the usual short plays and movies, special guests highlighted our programs. A lecture on snakes fascinated some while others shuddered. A blind pianist and a trip to Virginia via 16mm. roun- ded out our education considerably, too. ASSEMBLY COUNCIL Front Row: M. Wharton, T. Tobin, W. Hildebrandt, J. Mark,, G. Munao, R. Katz.

HALL PATROL Our Hall Patrolmen keep the traffic in the halls from snarling up between periods. Courteous but firm, they keep students moving along smoothly. Composed of upper-classmen with good scholastic averages, the group operates under the direction of Miss Doedeyns. Members of the Campus Patrol scrutinize everyone who leaves the building during lunch periods. They are on the lookout for the mis- creant who would slip his lunch out to the park. Such vigilance helps to keep our campus neat. Director of the group is Miss Pulver. CAMPUS PATROL Kneeling: A. Pfalzer, L. Nurge, J. Boyd. O. Ncilson, D. Jeremiah, A. Ingalls. Seated: R. Haag, M.

Occasional' ly a laugh came from the inner office where a member was supposedly check' ing in a new issue of the 7'{ew Tor er but instead was peering at its cartoons.

OFFICE WORKERS The office girls, those hardy Amazons who were seen racing in and out of rooms, were the pride and joy of Mr. Terry the first and second periods. In the office they helped out on all sorts of jobs. Sometimes they even daringly an- swered the telephone. Feverishly the girls worked over those absentee slips, which they then delivered at record-breaking speed. A few of the tasks they undertake and accomplish efficiently are: filing, stenog- raphy, typing, ordering and filing college catalogs, and acting as receptionists. Lower Row: R. Katz, P. Vohwinkel.

These girls sell the much desired confectioneries dur- ing the lunch periods and at the football and basketball games. The girls are chos- en by Mr. Terry for their efficiency and capability. They are a great help to the football team, for the profits that come from their sales are used by the team for the purchase of equipment. Front Row: W. Gates, M. Corcoran, G. Wood, B. Nilsson, P.

The cooperation of the girls in the Hi-Y of Mineola High School has resulted in many com- mendable accomplishments. In September four delegates went to Sewanhaka to a county-wide conference for Hi-Y'ers. Then, their calendar called for having their customary installation in October. Holding their dripping candles tightly, ten slightly-awed lasses were led into this organ- ization. Later these newcomers and our old-timers of a term started their projects. Honor rolls in this vicinity were checked by Hi-Y workers seek- ing information to complete the M.H.S. honor roll. Packages were sent off periodically to Euro- pean countries. Group work in school at present prepares one for work in the community in the future. The G. A. A. started off a very successful year by presenting The Beggars Ball. It was the first time in the history of the club the G. A. A. had sponsored a dance. This year the club is under the able leadership of Sina Hansen, as president; Terry Diamanti, as secretary, and Miss Gregory, as supervisor. To be eligible for membership in the G. A. A., it is necessary for a girl to have 600 points in athletics, of which 150 must be after school credits. Another activity sponsored by the G. A. A., was the gathering of food and clothing to provide Christmas baskets for needy families. 68 SVANISH CLUB A trip to New York to view a Spanish movie followed by an exotic dinner at a Latin restaurant is the most looked'for ward' to activity of the Spanish Club.

Certain mem- bers of the ensemble have been operating as a trio. These members have played at various public schools, parent-teachers’ meetings and the Nassau Hospital. Although this group of players was only re- cently formed, they have come to be well known and much in demand. Playing in a small informal group of this type offers the string-playing members of the orchestra a chance to gain more proficiency in their instru- ments. The modern version of music is represented in Mineola High by the Dance Band. The biggest assignment of this group consists in taking over an entire act of the annual Radio Revue. At this time students and townspeople come out to hear the popular ballads as well as the numbers that make you jump in your seat. The Dance Band may also be obtained for school dances and class nights. Front Row: E. Meyer, J. Larkin, L. Katz, J. Graber, M. Walker, A. McGill. Second Row: R. Angus, Mr. Castagna. Kneeling: M.

The purpose of the club, sponsored by Mr. Wilhelm, is to give students the opportunity to perform individual experiments for which there is no time in class. These pros pective Curies and Ureys have made a rayon solution, explored the ionization theory and pre- pared laundry bleaches, to mention a few of their accomplishments. Seated: Mr. Wilhelm.

Bunt- ing, B. Allwork, W. Penny, W. Gates, G. Labriola. BIOLOGY There are all sorts of experiments going on in the laboratory when the Biology Club meets. Time rushes by as students carry out projects along their own lines of interest. For those who are squeamish about being nurse- maids to mice, there are pigeons. The birds, like the rodents, are given certain foods and thus our young scientists further their knowledge of dietet- ics. Another project of the club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Richel and Mr. Cady, is the breeding of fruit flies. This ties up with a study of heredity. L. Sloan, E. Hilbert, J. Koenig, I. Meyer, B.

RADIO The Radio Club is an off shoot of the vocation- al course in electronics. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Arnapol the boys experiment with radios and transmitters, learning a great deal about their construction. They study the International Morse code and prepare for the Federal examination leading to amateur or “ham” licenses. M. H. S. has applied to the Federal Communication Com- mission for a station license. Soon we hope to operate on the amateur bands. R. Sullivan, F. Barry, R. Regelmann, R. Chase, C. Patterson, J.

Mark THESPIANS Membership in the National Thespian Honor Society is the highest achievement in dramatics. This organization accepts students only after they have successfully taken a major part in some school production. Thespians receive a monthly magazine and can often obtain valuable recom- mendations for college or future jobs. The meetings are of two types—business and social. Pantomimes, monologs, and impromptu skits are presented at the social gatherings. The agenda of the business meetings includes elections, plans for the school matinee and a trip to a Broadway show. In September Lois McKee was re-elected president; Dick Butterworth, vice pres- ident and Joan Mark became secretary. The serious interest of the group in drama is shown by their unanimous choice of Medea as the play they would attend this year. Accompanied by Miss Austen they went to the play on January 14. A touch now and then of the superb dramatic technique of Judith Anderson was observed in Thespian productions for the remainder of the year. Lower Row; N. Pope, R. Katz, L. McKee. Upper Row: R.

They may he found acting as stage electricians, prop men, sound effect technicians or doing any other type of backstage work. All concerts and assemblies require their assistance. Eight boys comprise the Stagers with Ralph Stark and Peter Johnson acting as officers. Their most important production this year was January Thaw, the school play. In one scene there was a driving blizzard. Here the stagers did their stuff. They gradually dimmed the lights or brought them up to synchronize with candles brought on the stage. Front Row: W.
