A new era was in the making. Previously we had been students in an old and established school with its own traditions and customs. Now that we are in a new school it is only natural that we should want to set prece- dents and initiate customs for it, as well as to mold the tra- ditions that will make others look upon this school with reverence and pride. Whenexfer any group of young people undertakes such l4l a task as this, it is necessary to have competent adult guid- ance, and in a school it is usually to the principal that this job falls. So it was in our school. However, in the light of what had to be done, and the fact that it had to be done under circumstances as unorganized as ours, we the students feel very fortunate that we had a man such as this to guide us. It is to his lasting credit that the success of our school is a reality. That man is . . . John S. Randolph

Forewor This june our school marks the conclusion of its second academic year. It is the privilege of this yearbook to trace the steps leading up to this event. Taking our cue from the Latin phrase, ab initio, we shall start at the beginning, when, on a bright, June day, ground was broken in a ceremony attended by members of the Board of Education. Soon afterward, work began on the building itself. On September 10, 1956, the school threw open its doors to admit its first student body. Since that day, our school has developed into a harmonious organization of students and faculty rivaling the unity of ancient Rome. In the following pages you will read about this evolvement. It is our wish that doing so will widen your insight into the student body of New Hyde Park Memorial High School. 1 COUNCIL PATRICIANS XXV FORUM I-XVII CIRCUS MAXIMUS XCIII TAXES ............................................-..---- ----A-- C V Table of Contents
