Fuller has won the re- spect and confidence of students, parents, and teachers. He has given the schools a sound and progressive leadership. He has been keenly interested in civic af- fairs, and he has served our community well in many ways. Last November, he was called to active duty as an officer in the United States army. We regret that he must be away from North Tarrytown temporarily, but we are proud of his willingness to serve our country in this time of national emergency. We wish him suc- cess in his new work and we look forward to the time when he will return to North Tarrytown. The staff takes pleasure in dedicating the 1941 Headless Horseman to our superintendent of Schools, Major Delbert O. Fuller. wb- IM Z I SX ZF D '- MAJOR DELBERT O.

All home rooms had a team in the girls' Volleyball league. Mr. Brown's team Won the championship. The members of the eighth grade played an important part in the Music Festival given on May 2. Each homeroom had a representa- tive in the G.O. The Iunior High Assemblies were very entertaining throughout the year. Each class broadcast a play over the school radio system. These plays had for their plot, incidents concerning the Bill of Rights. We participated in a round table discus- sion on Current Events and Personalities in the NeWs. This discussion was held as part of a Parent-Teacher Group meeting. We all mourned the sudden death of Roger Smith, who passed away at Christmas time. 'EVENTH GRADE AST fall the girls played field ball, hit pin, paddle tennis, ring tennis, and tether ball. During the Winter they did some social, tap and country dancing. In the spring they played volleyball, badminton, ping-pong, and underleg. In their physical education classes, the boys played touch ball, football, underleg, badminton, ping-pong, and volley- ball. During the Winter they did some tum- bling. They played punchball high goal. In the spring they had some archery. In music, the seventh grades have joined the Iunior Chorus and the Iunior Orchestra. A colorful display of their love for music was shown in the Music Festival, in which the Iunior Chorus sang and the Junior Orchestra played. Some seventh graders have joined the Iunior American Citizens' Club, a patriotic organization that helps the members to realize their good fortune in being American citizens living in the United States, the land of the free and the home of the brave. 35 . xxx XX , 5 ff X I X ,1l' 4.1 I . i'l'2,'--'ef' Fgxazzbsugsrll X 1: '- N - - - - - - . iff?

All of the activities in which the students have participated are intended to supply the growing needs of our Democracy. The students who took part in the all-county chorus were under the direction of Fred Waring who showed his democratic spirit by leading students from more than twenty-three high schools. North Tarrytown students are beginning to realize the importance of music in building up our national spirit. The training We have received in all the activities, - Dramatics, Public Speaking, Red Cross, Hobby, French, and Italian Clubs, is going to help us during the crisis our country is now facing. The lunior American Citizens have already helped by putting on two one-act plays during Bill of Rights Week, for the Daughters of American Revolution. Because of the background which We have developed and our training in American ideals we shall be better equipped to serve our country in every way possible.

Tonelli, Treasurer ITH patriotic thoughts uppermost in the minds of nearly everyone and with our superintendent of schools, Major Fuller, called to the colors, the executive committee for the 1941 Headless Horseman had no difficulty in selecting a theme for the book. So regardless of the fact that work on the yearbook was begun late in the year, the staff with a wealth of new ideas and material Was not seriously handicapped. As in previous years, the Headless Horseman was sponsor- ed by the General Organization but this year a much different system of planning and producing the book was used. There were nine divisions, each handling a specific section or 'angle'. Each section had its own faculty adviser who selected the students to work on his or her staff. When Miss lenks who had been head faculty adviser left, Miss MacLaury was chosen to take her place. Other faculty members who worked to make the yearbook a success are: Anthony Balash, advertisements: LaVerne Norton, Lewis Traver, circulation: loseph Ramp, photography: Marion Hennessey, senior section: Elizabeth MacFarland, classes and activities: Kenneth Brown, sports: Verena Deuel, features. In mentioning the faculty members We must not forget lames Turek who patiently listened to us when something went Wrong and who from experience was able togive us much valuable advice. 38 Positions on the various staffs were eagerly sought by the students. One of the most coveted honors is to be selected editor-in-chief of the yearbook. This year the lucky person was Winifred Parsons who received her experience Working on previous yearbooks. This is also true of the other students who held key positions: Gladys Palazzo, business manager: Ann Majersky, circulation manager: Lavenia Cipes, Iohn Curtiss, co-managers for photography: Edna Tonelli, treasurer. Underclassmen are encouraged to seek places on the various staffs not only because the Headless Horseman is an all-school project, but because in this Way they are able to get first-hand information on producing a first class school annual. It is noteworthy that our Headless Horseman has won the first class award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in competition with other high school annuals, three years in succession. Needless to say we have hopes of capturing the award again this year. The staff members are as follows: Sports: R. Morris, C. Page, E. Hlavicka, D. Buckhout, R. Wright. Art: G. Dragani, V. Pankovic.

The funds collected are also used for local charitable work. The total receipts last fall were 336.545 the total disbursements this year were 528.251 the total cash on hand the first of May was 38.29. llobby Club THE Senior Art Club of North Tarrytown has gained, the reputation of pro- ducing the best Work in Westchester County. Due to the instruction and guidance of Miss Rose E. Hofstetter, its adviser, the club has made great progress along artistic lines. The Art Club has worked on projects to obtain money to purchase prints of famous paintings. The walls ot the school are proudly displaying Guardian of the Coast by Sammann, A Winter View at Monhegan Maine by Rock- well Kent and Sir Galahad by Abbey. NDER the able guidance of Miss Deuel the Hobby Club, which was formed by members of the present senior class in the fall of 1936, has just con- cluded its tifth successful season. The members enjoyed getting together to discuss their hobbies, to im- prove their recreation hours, and to encourage those members who had not yet developed hobbies. The officers this year were Herbert Miller, President, Gilbert Rabin, Vice- President: Winifred Parsons, Secretary: Grace Friere, Treasurer: and Katherine Babick, Scrapbook Custodian. Art Club 42 Freiwh Club HIS year the French Club, under the lead- ership of Miss MacFarland and its Presi- dent, Herbert Miller, had many jolly times which served to create an interest in the French language. The other officers were: Vice-President, Betty Wackwitzg Secretary, Sonya Kadishg and Treasurer, Estelle Pollock. At the club meetings the members enjoyed interesting talks, skits, puppet shows, songs and games. For one of the social evenings, several members prepared a French lunch, which was a great success. A new and dif- ferent form of entertainment was provided by sound pictures, in French and in English. The members were shown moving pictures of many interesting parts ot France and French Canada. Italian Club HE Italian Club, this year, has enjoyed a large and active membership. Business meetings were held twice each month, and at each meeting planning committees were formed to contact the social members whose other activities sometimes prevented their attendance. The big events this year were the Christ- mas Party, the trip to New York City and the annual picnic, or Scampagnata . Membership was open to those students in Italian I and Italian II who had received 852 or better in the courses. These members gave their enthusiastic cooperation to the following officers: Thomas Cavalieri, Presi- dent: Lavenia Cipes, Vice-President: Marie Battista, Secretary: Sadie Battaglia, Treas- Dramatics SUMMER came to North Tarrytown High School in November last year when the students presented a three-act play entitled Iune Mad , a comedy of modern life. Virginia Ackert played the part of Penny Woods opposite August Tomelleri who was Chuck Harris. They had their trying times when Penny became inter- ested in Roger Van Vleck, a college play boy with a way with the women. Iohn Curtiss played the part of Mr. Harris, Chuck's father, who had a very hard time understanding his son but finally managed to do so. Mr. and Mrs. Wood CPenny's understanding father and motherj were played by George Fuller and lean Evans. Elmer Tuttle, a servant, was played by Iggy Cabriele. The play moved at a very rapid pace around Chuck Harris and Penny Wood. They found after Penny's experience with Roger, Bernard Camera, and Chuck's accident, that they really cared for each other and everything ended well. In Ianuary the Dramatic Classes and the Seniors sponsored a three one-act play program. The Idlings of the King took the stage first and left the people laughing. If you can imagine Eng1and's King Arthur as a jitterbug, you can understand why the play was a laugh. Iggy Cabriele as the king and Regina D'Zur- enda as the queen gave very fine performances. The 44 same can be said of Sam Perrone as the great Merlin. Iohn Lester as the fiery villain, Modred, gave a very good touch to the play. The Valiant took the stage next and really brought tears to the eyes of the people. Iohn Curtiss as the Warden, Bernard Camera as the Prisoner, Rose Bran- cato as the Girl who thought she was the convict's sister, and August Tomelleri as Father Daley, gave performances that would move the coldest heart. The play made the audience see that justice is hard and wrong in the dealings it has with some of its law breakers. The play left the people weeping with hearts full of pity and sorrow. loint Owners in Spain was the last on the program and that play raised the spirits of the people and started them laughing again. Estelle Pollock as Mrs. Dyer and Mary Massari as Mrs. Blair gave the star performances by the way they handled the situation when they were forced to live in the same room although they did not want to be near each other. They had the fine support of Agnes Fucheck and Kathleen McVinew. The people left the building, discussing the fine plays they had seen.

DILLEY Coach ANTHONY I. BALASH Asst. Coach WITH the return of such stellar veterans as end, William Barron, and Frank Zivica, backfield men Al lVIoro, cmd Iohn Imhoff, the N.T. rooters looked forward to a great football season. But no one expected an undefeated team. In the first game injuries began, With center Ioe Voitek receiving a broken nose in the Newburgh game. His position was ably filled for the rest of the season by Buddy Foley. This injury and that of fullback Al Moro's ankles were the only injuries that had any effect upon the team. N.T. vanquished each of her foes as she met them. Beating Newburgh Free Academy, Dobbs Ferry, Tuckahoe, a very powerful Ossining team and tying with Washington Irving. Although through graduation we lose such players as Tom Booth, Iohn Scribano, Iohn Imhotf and Tony Pollock, and sev- eral P.G.'s the performances rendered by sophomore and junior scrubs during the year gives us hope for a good '41 season. 52 UNDEFEATED BA KETBALL UHAMPIUNS HE return of four regulars made the outlook of a successful season for the varsity basketball team bright. The team won fifteen games straight plus three from last season which constitutes a winning streak of eighteen games, the first team to accomplish this feat. For its showing of superior basketball play- ing the Hudson River League Crown will rest in our trophy case until next year when N.T. will valiantly defend it. Decisive triumphs in pre-season games assured Coach lack Edelson and loyal IACK L. EDELSON N.T. fans of the strength of the team. Coach Having defeated Peekskill in the opener, the brilliant playing and team spirit captured the hearts of the ardent students and other fans. Enthusiasm in- creased as the season drew to the halfway mark. In the second half of the season, many opponents altered their defenses, but nothing could halt this strong quintet. The overwhelming de- feat of W.l. at her gymnasium proved to everyone of the spectators the superiority of N.T.'s basketball team. The regular quintet playing this excellent basketball consisted of Co-Cap- tains Ed Mallery, and Al Moro: with Bud Foley, Frank Zivica and Felix Girone. Although some of our best players are leav- ing this year, high hopes for next year are placed in such veterans as: Felix Girone, and All League guard Bud Foley. 53 Front Row: Ralph Ranieri, Sam Donzella, Frank Pollock, Wilbur lacobsen, lohn Barron, Iohn Moro, Walter Smercak. Back Row: Gabriel Hayes Coach, Lotsy Chebetar, Richard Brophy, William Powers Manager. J.V. BASKETBALL 'INDER the coaching of Mr. Gabriel Hayes, the I.V. basket- ball team enjoyed a very successful season, although the opening game was lost to Scarborough, the second game was Won by defeating Leake and Watts 41-27. In the first of the league games the I.V.'s surprised the crowd by defeating the larger Peekskill tearn by a count of 32-26. This team showed real fighting spirit in falling to Ossining by the narrow margin of 28-26. An unbelievable score Was chalked up in the favor of our team over Pleasantville, 55-16. Then our squad showed itself unmatched by defeating W.I. by the tremendous count of 40-14. At the beginning of the second half of the league, the Ossining league leaders came again to face the I.V.'s, this time at the local gym, only to be defeated by this sturdy quintet. Next the team traveled to Tarrytown, to face W.I. Throughout the game the score seesawed back and forth end- ing with W.I. one point ahead of us. Facing Hastings in the final game of the season they were cqnfronted with unex- pected resistance, but the I.V.'s won the game with a score of 24-20. Our quintet Won second in the Hudson River League, and the outlook for next season seem to be very bright, due to Mr. Hayes unsurpassed ability to spot boys able to fill the shoes of those who have gone up to the varsity. 54 Kiwanis Presentation by Brooks Victory Cake CHEERLEADEH' ITH a flash of orange and the familiar cry of hip hip, N.T.'s cheerleaders lead the crowd into another of their many peppy cheers. This efficient squad gave their Whole- hearted support to N.T.'s successful football and basketball teams. The group, consisting of eight regulars and four substitutes was ably captained by Io Caposella, a well-known junior. lo Was unanimously elected for the position by her fellow cheerleaders. Mrs. Bjornstad, the adviser, aided the squad in creating new formations and cheers. She also attended all the games and gave the cheerleaders many helpful suggestions. The squad will lose four of its mem- bers this year as Margie Doherty, Ann Doyle, Kathleen Barr and Emily Hlavicka are all seniors. As is custom- ary, seniors will receive N.T. letters. This year the cheerleaders met twice a week to practice. Their cooperation made this years squad one of N.T.'s best. They participated in the annual Cheerleader's Meet which was held in Pleasantville. A contest was sponsored to chose a new song and pep cheer. Dorothy Gross and Regina Gomez wrote words to the tune of Little Brown lug, which gained popularity during the football season. The winning cheer Was submitted by Miriam McGowan. It was the ever favorite Mow 'em Down. 55 GABRIEL HAYES I.V. Coach GREAT AMERICAN GAME LAST year N.T.'s team tied for first place with Ossining by winning five and losing three games. The five league vic- tories were Hastings, twice: Ossining: Pleasantville and Peek- skill. We lost to Ossining, Pleasantville and Peekskill. In non- league competition, we vanquished Nyack, Irvington, and Tuckahoe and lost to Irving Prep. On a whole the season was quite successful with nine victories, four losses and one tie. The tied game was the memorable game of the year when N.T. and Peekskill played a 3-3 tie, which was later played off, only to have Peekskill win in the end. This year with only the loss of three veterans, the third baseman Charlie Marasco, pitcher and fielder Iohn Imhof and pitcher George Fuller the '41 horizon looks very promising. Marasco has been replaced by Ioe Daley and Al Kossila rotating between home and outfield. This year the positions are: Mallery, leftfield: Girone, rightfield: Ioe Daley, third: Red Bannon, shortstop: Tom Booth, second: Bud Foley, first: Mat Lissey and Al Kossila, catchers. As always the pitching staff is the team's problem. But with veteran Pickets Brophy and a flock of newcomers the most promising of which are Wilbur lacobsen and Frank Ennis, there is hope for a successful season. Above: Bud Foley coaching at first at Irvington. Below: Tom Booth looking them over before taking his turn at bat. 56 TRACK AND FIELD LOOKING back to the track record of the spring of 1940 we find that although the team suffered defeat in two dual meets and in the Hudson River League Meet, the winning of the class B county relay championship and victories in three dual meets, more than compensated for the losses. Records were broken by Captain Kovach, in the shot put, and Warren Spear, in the mile at the annual H.B.L. meet. In the spring of this year, however, track as a major sport almost came to an end due to the fact that the aqueduct was closed to the public as a precautionary measure for national defense. Although not a very good substitute for a track, the aqueduct had served this purpose since track was first estab- lished at N.T. in 1934. However, because a large number of veterans were re- turning, Coach Fitzpatrick decided that track as a major sport should not be discontinued. The marsh was finally decided upon as a practice field and the call for trackmen was issued early in April. Answering this call were twelve veterans, in- cluding eight lettermen, and a few promising newcomers. Veterans such as Captain Warren Spear, Tom Heffernan, Pete Esteban, Al Moro and Ierry Di Cariano form the neucleus of the best balanced track squad ever turned out at North Tarrytown. This team has high hopes of avenging former defeats at the hands of Peekskill, by beating them in the H.R.L. meet in Iune and bringing N.T. its first league track championship.

Ceccarelli. Jr. High Champs THIS year Mr. Traver's Home- room won the eighth grade Intramural Basketball title. This team consisting of W. Hongash, F. Russo, S. Vespa, C. Doorley, A. Lombardi, and C. Minella, was named Illinois and show- ed signs of great players for N.T. in future years. Senior High Champs THIS year the Senior Home- room Team won the Senior High Intramural championship. This team consisting of T. Booth, I. Kleinert, I. Imhof, I. Doyle, V. Chebetar, T. Heffernan, L. Ballas, and Al Lennox, was named Stanford. It was by far the most superior team in the field, but once or twice it met some tough opposition from the lowly freshmen. GIRLS' SP0ll'l' THE girls' intramural sports championship was won by the senior girls. The lofty senior team vanquished all of the underclassmen's teams in basketball, fieldball, hitpin, and baseball. Through four years in high school each of the girls has had a chance to gain experience by being captain of at least one team. The girls also participated in ping-pong, badminton, horse- shoes and bowling. There are tournaments in ping-pong and badminton, for individual and team competition. Playdays are held throughout the year, at different schools. The winning team of the sport in season is chosen to attend these playdays. This year our school was host at a basketball playday.. Outstanding athletic ability is credited to Yolanda DeMilia She is also a member of the Farmerettes baseball and basket- ball teams. The other members of the championship team are: Anne Velba, Katherine Babick, Ethel Grant, Irene Regal, Doris Buckhout, Lucy Pennella, Ada Allen, Gladys Palazzo, Florence Iadus, Sadie Battaglia, Marie Delfay and Emily Hlavicka.
