Oceanside Qeneral Organization | he General Organization has been founded for more than twenty years. It was organized when the first brick school building was built in Oceanside. At that time it was the only organization in the school, and therefore a great interest was taken in it, which was mainly responsible for its immediate success. Since then the interest of the student body in the organization has never slackened. Every year it is growing with the increase of students, and it is hoped that a membership of one hundred per cent will be attained. In the past it has helped the different organizations and clubs in their infancy to gain an established position in the school, and it stands ready to help others that are being organized at the present time. In June of last year the present officers were elected. They are: President — Louis Wedel, Vice-President — Constance Kearns, Treasurer — Helen Duker, Secretary — Paul Kane. This year the Organization has made great strides in both athletic and academic accomplishments. In the beginning of the school year, last September, it introduced the Student Council. This is a body composed of one representative or councilor from each homeroom. Its meetings are held to discuss business which concerns every class of the school. The proceedings and results of these meetings are introduced to the homerooms by the representatives, where a discussion is held to obtain the opinions of the student body. This year also, for the first time, the General Organization has enrolled Oceanside High School in the State Honor Society. In awarding the Athletic letter, and sportsmanship key, the Organization has found the present system inadequate. For this reason the General Organization, at the present time, is planning a new method of awarding the letter and key. As this is an undertaking requiring extensive research and time, it is probable that the new system of awarding letters will not be voted upon by the student body until next year. But, nevertheless, the Organization hopes to have this new system before the student body for its ratification before commencement. T wenty-six

Football With a turnout of twenty-eight men for football, Coach Granger and Captain Kaye set to round out a winning machine. After weeks of hard practice, Oceanside was reputed to have one of the best teams in the division. A tough season was predicted as the other teams also had strong line-ups. Through several tough breaks” Oceanside was beaten by Malverne for the championship. However, a fighting spirit predominated throughout the season. Arthur Stein, Manager. Qirls Hockey Team Coach — Miss Ruth A. Lewis; Captain — Florence Nau; Manager — Miss Gladys Hill. Field hockey is a new inter-scholastic sport in Oceanside. Florence Nau was elected Captain of Oceanside’s first hockey team. She was strongly supported by the other ten players, as well as by those who came out regularly to practice. Thanks to Miss Lewis and the girls, we feel that we have established ourselves in this new and interesting sport. Those who received letters are: Florence Nau, Katherine McCartney, Margaret Anson, Margaret Pearsall, Christina Otten, Betty Guibert, Doris Gallow, Ethel Balbin, Helene Combe, Rose Reinhardt, Gertrude Jacobs, Gladys Hill, Mary Tusta-nowska.
