For each one of us is indeed a bit of spindrift swept across the tumultuous sea of life towards our destiny. The last yearbook produced in Oceanside High School was published nine years ago. The staff of this 1941 issue of SPINDRIFT has chosen as its aim the presentation of the most graphic and literal picture of Ocean-side High School as it is possible to give in the short time at its disposal. Since the decision to publish SPINDRIFT was made late in the year, the staff has been extremely rushed, and we have had to concentrate our efforts to the utmost. Nevertheless, we believe we have succeeded. There are nearly six hundred students in Oceanside Senior High School, each one a separate and individual part of the school. There is also a wide range of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Altogether their adequate presentation is a formidable task. We are certain that those of you who read this will understand. SPINDRIFT is the yearbook of Oceanside High, designed and edited by students. From the planning of the first dummy to the final paste-up of each individual page the staff members have been free to act and do as they have judged best. We would like toextend our thanks to everyone, including the faculty members, the students, our advertisers, and others outside of the school, who have helped in the preparation of SPINDRIFT. Without their aid and cooperation, the publication of SPINDRIFT this year would have been im-pos s i b1e. 5 BOARD OF EDUCATION Meeting once a month in the senior high school the Oceanside Board of Education .composed' o f six members under the able leadership of Mr. Thomas C.

Here are portrayed the activities, curricular and otherwise. We have tried to picture the Board of Education, the administration, our superintendent, our principal and the faculty as the grand group of friends t ha t they are. The seven classes, including the seniors who were graduated last January, will be found under their respective graduation dates. During E. C. A. period and after school there are many activities of varied interests in action on the campus. Among these are the Glee Club. Service Club, the General Organization and many others. When one tires of classes and has no club activities at the moment, the athlet ic department offers sports for the maintenance of a sound mind and a healthy body. The ultimate aim of the sports department is to instill the idea of good sportsmanship in the students minds. There are many phases of school life around 0 H.S. other than classes,clubs or athletics that are definitely a part of the school. The student fads, the janitors, our cafeteria and others equally interesting; these we have called features. We have endeavored to picture life at Oceanside High School as it goes on every day. And so we present--SPINDRIFT. Away back in January, 1937, when this class entered senior high school, they were surprised and a little disappointed to find that the class was the first class to be in Oceanside Junior High School for three years. Before, c1 asses had been two years in junior high and four years in senior high school. During their freshman year they became better acquainted at the Freshman party. In 1938 they became 'gay young sophomores.' Their first big affair during that year was the Sophomore party held in the new gymnasium. Records of the junior year show quite a bit of inactivity. We call it the proverbial calm before the storm for they really progressed at cyclone speed during their last year in high school. The first thing done as seniors wastoelect class officers for the year. Ira Greenwald filled competently the position of president with George Glier as vice-president. Jane Cleary spent her leisu e moments inwriting the minutes of the many class meetings, and Madeleine Park was usually heard asking the class if anyone intended to pay their dues. Besides sponsoring several teadances and selling magic slates they sold candy at many football games. The class had the privilege of sponsoring two important dances during the year; namely, the Coronation Dance and the Senior Bail. When they took over the teachers' positions on Senior Day a good timewas had by a 1 1 . The Kay Kyser program on class night will be a memorable occasion to every member of the class. The feminine hal f of the class ‘took over the General Organization dur. ing the last half year. Madeleine Park was vice-president, Marion Park, secretary, and Susan Bay1 is, treasurer.

WILLIAM BALISH WILLIAM FAY Practically every phase of school life in Oceanside has felt the effect of boosting and cooperation by the members of the beginning senior class. In athletics, the class was we 1 1-represented on the boys’ varsity teams and girls’ honor teams and many of its membe rs have made outstanding personal records. Several beginning seniors figure prominently in the school publications and dramatic presentations. For its comparative small size, the class has contributed generously to the Oceanside music departments, including the orchestra, band and glee clubs. Numerous beginning seniors have consistently been on the honor roll for their fine scholastic achievements. CLASS OFFICERS This year, the class sponsored several successful social events. Varying in theme and well attended, they were: the Junior Hop , a tea dance and a sport dance. Two of the students, who started, at the beginning of the year, as class officers, were elected vice-president and treasurer of the General Organization in January and have since devoted their energies to the school government. Class Of January 1942 Class Of June 1942 A class of enthusiastic, cooperative students, these advanced Juniors hnve extended their talents and participation far and wide through tlie school’s activities. This class held their party last semester, and the feature of the evening was a scavenger hunt. Juniors scoured the town for loot and returned with bottles,mops and the like. An evening at Central Park was the setting of their Junior From held this June. park benches, a New York skyline, a peanut vendor stand all created the necessary atmosphere. CLASS OFFICERS CLASS OFFICERS Class Of January 1943 This class of beginning juniors is we 11-distributed throughout the various extra-curricular activities and athletics, and are already taking that well-known place in the sun with comparative ease. As advanced sophomores, last semester t he y spons ored a dance during the evening. Not only were they the first sophomore group ever to hold a dance at night, but their endeavor was pronounced a complete social and financial success by those who attended and by their officers. Their class party was held at the Mineola Skating Rink in April. Bruises and sore arms and legs were the complaints for weeks afterwards, but they did have a good time. There are two accomplishments of which the class is very proud. One is the fact that they contributed 23 dollars towards the school’s purchase of a var i-typer and the other is that four members of the class are cheerleaders. Vh The largest class in school, this advanced sophomore group numbers some 140 odd members and takes up the entire first floor, four home r ooms in all. Lacking in neither size nor quality, these sophs went out in a big way for school activities, especially boys’ and girls' athletics, and the Glee Club. The class’ major event of the year was their Sophomore Party. Restricting attendance to sophomores only, the members of the class had a gala evening of dancing, games and refreshments. Class Of June 1943 CLASS OFFICERS Class Of January- 1944 Emerging from the bewildering maze of locker combinations, new faces and room numbers, this class of young sophomores has shown itself to be a group of cooperative, eager students. They wasted no time in absorbing t he activities Oceanside has to offer. Several members of the class are interested in dramatics, and have been accepted by the Masque Society. The Girls' Glee Club is well represented inbeginning sophs as are the other music divisions. The Service Club, Forum Club and Sider Press have also recruited members of the class. Rifle Club enticed 14 beginning sophomore boys., which is probably a record representation. Scholastic averages haven't been for gotten either, for several of the students have adjusted themselves easily to the system in senior high and have attained excellent grades. With Miss Dorothy Doyle as their homeroom teacher, the beginning sophomore class is a well-balanced group, since the girls and boys are evenly divided. CLASS OFFICERS o FIRST TERM OFFICERS L. to R. Marion Park,Susan Bay 1 is , Ke mp-ton Roll and Madeleine Park. General Organization SECOND TERM OFFICERS L. to R. Frane.es Rosback, Kempt on Roll, Richard McDonald and Gloria Duncan. Under t he capable guidance of the big four in the G . 0 . , Oceanside's student body is very well governed. Democracy is the keynote: there are annual elections held for the im- portant offices andeach class elects a representative; these make up the Inner Council. Under the guiding influence of Miss Eunice Pearson. President Kempton Poll conducts the meetings each Monday at which complaints are heard, suggestions made and funds voted for various activities. The purse strings are kept by G lor ia Duncan, the records by Frances Rosback and Richard Me Don a Id wields the gavel when Kempt on is absent. Each home room may also elect a representative who is sent once a month to the meetings. G.O. services tothe school are almost endless. Special educational assemblies are obtained , special rates to nurrerous school functions are granted and uniforms for the athletes and cheerleaders are supplied NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A group of intelligent, alert students, they are far from the popular conception of studious grinds. High standing of character, scholarship, leadership and service has earned them their membership in the Honor Soc ie t y. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Unrecognized and unrewarded, these girls nevertheless give their services cheerfully and courteously, with no thought of return except experience. STUDENT RECEPTIONISTS To greet newcomers, guide strangers and give whatever help they can to visitors--1hat is t lie purpose of our courteous, friendly student receptionists. O.H. S. Strike up the band! Trumpets blare, tubas groan, clarinets moan. One of the two concerts given by the Oceanside Band is now under way. Captained by the very able Mr. J ame s Day this group provides stirring music for many occasions. They play for many school assemblies. The Parent-Teachers Association is sometimes entertained by one of their small informal concerts. This spring the band travelled to Mepham and participated in the Nassau County Music Festival held there. At the climax of a successful year the band was invited to play at Jones Beach. This year has been spent perfecting the many solos and duets which were the features of the concerts. Kenneth Squire is president andClifford Glier vice-president. Publicity for the group is managed by Roy Magee and Ruth De-Bevoise keeps the records. BAND OFFICERS The stands are filled with cheering, excited students, the Half is over, the team is resting and on the field marches the band in colorful uniforms, drum majorette and twirlers strutting; a stirring piece resounds down the field. Hearts quicken--everybody loves a parade. The band is led bydark, vivacious Betty Ann Quaritius, resplendent in a white uniform, shako and boots, twirling a gleaming baton. Beside her strut two pretty blondes who twirl very efficiently. This year the ancient Swiss art of flag twirling has been revived and is a featured attraction on the field. It is a very picturesque scene to see the performance of these four pretty girls, accompanied bythe band. All the flags twirl in unison as they flutter in the wind. All are under the direction of Mr.James Day who looks spic and span in his nautical uniform. A somewhat more solemn occasion, but none the less stirring is Memorial Day when the band marches around the village and plays for the ceremonies at the triangle. Orchestra Every Monday and Thursday the auditorium fills with the musical sounds of the orchestra. Chatting gaily and busily tuning their instruments, the group awaits the signal from Miss Hess which will bring forth order and melody. Seventy-four boys and girls, joined together by their common interest in music, contribute much to the functions at which they play. They introduce assembly programs, provide music for plays and graduation. Each spring preparations are made for the spring Music Festiva1 --1he climax of the year’s activity. Cello Section Miss Hess and the orchestra gaze with pride and joy upon this cello group. For the past four years the group has been developing and expanding until now it boasts eight talented girls who accompany the orchestra. Girls Glee Club 'Do-mi-sol-do, Sopranos all together --A1tos come in softly. The Jenny Linds of Oceanside under the direction of Miss Pauline Hess rehearse busily for their part in the Music Festival which is held every spring. During the year this musical group holds meetings once a week. They are presided over by Rae Lazar, assisted by Alice Zorn as secretary and Margaret Turley as librarian. They sing several numbers at formal Honor Society inductions and entertain at some assembly programs. Boys Glee Club Possessors of lusty, harmonious voices the Boys Glee Club contributed much to the concerts at which they sing. The director,Miss Hess, and pianist, Lee Amira 1 , are the only members of the fair sex who are present at the meetings. THESPIANS Bustles and button shoes, mustaches and 'rrellow-drayma,' thrills and chills,--‘On The Bridge At Midnight '--the climax of a successful thirteenth season for the Masque Society. This return tothe 1890’s was accompanied by numerous complaints from the girls while struggling in and out of whale-bone stays and high choke necks. The year began with the hilarious initiation of new members in September. The Senior Play, ‘Growing Pains kept several of the senior members and the director, Miss Frances Weaver, very busy. The Society’s Christmas gift to the school was an elaborate production of 'Fiat Lux. The month of May saw a group of happy stage-struck boys and girls troup in to see two Broadway plays--Life With Father and 'Tlie Corn Is Green. Because of their interest in the workings of the theater, a request to tour back-stage was granted. Everyone was happy examining lighting, poking into wardrobes and trying to catch glimpses of the stars. As a reward for hard work and valiant effort, nine members were admitted to the National Thespian Tr oupe. TOMMY and JEAN FETHER-STON as Halstead the butler, and Queenie de Lome,the much maligned heroine. MARIAN METCALF as May-belle Billings, the 1 is p i ng infant. HELEN DITMARS as the proud and haughty Mrs. Wa i nr ig ht . VIRGINIA SETRAKIAN as Aunt Minerva, a spinster. TONY PROCHILO as Jack Frost, a southern ge ntle man. FRANCES ALTSCHIJL as the 19 year old baby Eunice. On The Bridge At Midnight t PUBLICATION STAFF 'Hey.' This headline doesn't fit. Someonegetir.esowe filler for the bottom of this page. W lie re's that stencil? I have to finish cutting this ad.' A typical press room scene would probably sound like that. Under the able guidance of the editor-in-chief, Helen Dudar, and Lee O. Hench. the faculty adviser, the weekly edition of the SIDER PRESS is about to be printed. A state of turn.oil exists; everybody isworking hard and enjoying it. It requires hard work and a great deal of cooperation between the four departments, literary, advertising, circulation and printing, to produce this brain child. However, everybody connected with its publication can be justly proud of the outcome of their efforts. The publication received the All New York State Award as one of the five best mimeographed papers in the state. It was given Medalist rating by the Columbia Press Association as one of the best mimeographed papers in the country and the All-American Award by the National Scholastic Press Association. These future John Gunthers and Dorothy Thompsons want to keep up with the current trend in school journalism. In order todo so they attend the three day press convention held at Columbia once a year. Here all the problems confronting the student journalist are discussed, and the delegates listen to informative lectures. Spring and Fall representatives are sent to the Nassau Scholastic Fress Convention heldatAdelphi. This past year Helen Dudar has acted as the recording secretary for the Association. For outstanding work in their field, students are admitted to the International Quill and Scroll, an honorary journalistic society. Service Club 'We Serve is the motto, oath, and password of this busy club. Restless as colts, they bound from one activity tot he next always serving and aiding their fellow beings. Some of their many services for local impoverished families are the filling of T ha nk s g i v i ng baskets, t lie distribution of clothes and the gathering and repairing of toys for the children at Christmas. Several families in Arkansas are also very grateful to the Service Club for their donations of clothing. i Gifts for veterans, bundles for Britain, and drives for every worthy purpose are other activities which occupy the t ime of these tireless me m -bers and their sponsor. Miss Anne Raynor Numerous informal dances provide a wealth of material to work with. FORUM CLUB Wir beginnen jetzl? With this query the president. Kempton Roll, opens the meeting of Der Deutche Kreis or the German Circle. Conducted entirely in German, it meets very informally at irregular intervals. Studying German culture and its contributions to world civilization is the purpose of these advanced German students. Once a week, young followers of Demosthenes meet to thrash out important problems and to discuss the current topics of the day. Pro’s and con’s fight stubbornly, and the result is good fun and intelligent reasoning . The clubconducts an open forum assembly every year, and is a member of the Nassau County Inter s c ho 1 a s t ic Forum. Spindrift The purchase of a vari-typer early this year revived the demand for a yearbook which O.H.S. had not published in nine years. Sponsored by the G.O.,a meeting in February authorized the choosing of a tentative staff headed by Madeleine Park as Editor, Mildred Dove 1, Sales Manager and Irene Smith, Advertising Manager. Mr. Hench, Ms. Waldron and Mr. Loveland were the respective faculty advisors. Encouraged by the cooperation of the entire school the staff chosen started on their work. A gigantic drive for the advance sale of the book was made. Members of the advertising department zealously sold ads. Pictures were taken and a dummy prepared. Despite the late start the book was successfully completed. PUBLICATION STAFF i o 1 TOOL •c c Athletic Organization The fighting spirit, fine sportsmanship and generous hospitality of Oceanside’s athletic teams can be credited largely tot he efforts and accomplishments of the athletic department. Under the supervision of Edward J.Flynn,the highphysicai training objectives of Oceanside High School have successfully been achieved. It can safely be stated that a more healthy and vigorous group of young men and women graduate from Ocean-side High School tnan enter its portals three years earlier. The Athletic Board, a democratic body consisting of student representatives f roiri each c lass , played a vital part in t he planning of the athletic policies during the year. Dan iel Or zano was president. Clifford Crawford,vice president. Michael Orzano,secretary and Harry Schneider, marshal. Gym Activities Designed by Physical Director £. J.('Coach ) Flynn not only to develop more healthy and vigorous students, but also to provide a period of real enjoyment for those taking gym, a versatile and interesting physical training program met with marked success this year. A wide variety of sports and activities were included in this program in order that each participant could f i nd s om.e thing to his liking. Featured in the fall season were footbal1 .badminton.appa ratus work and track. During the winter months wrestling, basketball, ping-pong, volley ball, marching and t uir.b ling comprised the gym schedule. Spring introduced popular track, tennis, softball, handball and speedball. The number of gym periods required for each student is determined each spring by strength tests. Faced at the beginning of the year with the un-comf ort ing prospect of only two varsity players returning, Co-captain Alfred Shapiro and James Steigerwald, Oceanside looked to the football horizon with a none too optomistic gaze. However, two extremely significant facts were overlooked, t lie fighting spirit of each participant and the expert coaching contributed by Alan I. Chase and William He 1 meke . This combination earned for the football squad, the best record of any team in t he i r league. After faring well in a pre-season scrimmage with Garden City, the Sailor squad awaited with deep determination that traditionally powe rful rival, Baldwin. Four quarters of grueling battle saw both teams holding on grimly, and the game ended in a hard fought,score less tie Lynbrook was easily overhauled, 19 to 0 by Ocean-side to precede the lone defeat of the season, inflicted by a formidable Sewanhaks eleven. 12 to 0. Mepiiam and Malverne were then beaten by the fighting Oceanside gridiron men by tallies of 19 to 12 and 6 to O.respectively, before Long Beach showed up with unexpected strength to hold CoachChase's aggressive charges from scoring, and thereby marking the second scoreless. tie of the season. The eagerly-awa ited game with Central High School of Valley Stream found a jubilant Sailor eleven ending a successful season with a 20 to 6 victory. The fact that a group of inexperienced young students could, in one season, be molded into one of the finest football squads on Long Island is trulya great tribute toCoach Chase and Assistant Coach Helmcke. Wrestling Although hindered by a scarcity of candidates, the Oceanside wrestling squad came through the season with flying colors, losing only to powerful Mepham and Amity-v i11e matmen. Victories were wrested from Bay Shore, Sewanhaka, Garden City and Hempstead. Determined opposition was encountered from Central and a hard fought tie resulted. Co-captains Gilkes and McDonald handed in consistently good performances, while Gilkes later became South Shore champ in his class. Coach Alan I Chase deserves much credit for his excellent coaching. Basketball Though records will show that the Sailor basketeers had a mediocre season, the support of the students and the never-give-up attitude of the players mark it as s ucces s f u1. Coach Edward J. Flynn’s charges won five of their fourteen matches, losing the others only after battling fiercely over each point. Matt Daly, Bob Rudkin, Charley Aubert, Frank Roberts and Ralph Anzalone were awarded varsity letters. Perhaps next year Oceanside can look forward toa more successful season, but they will find it difficult towitness more exciting and hard fought games. The Sailor trackmen, captained this season by Cliff Crawford and T o mm y West .are hindered considerably by a lack of material, but nevertheless are expecting some fine performances during the year. In the annual intra-team track meet, the Gold squad led by Cliff Crawford, gained a 54-31 victory over Tommy West’s Blue team. Nine meets are scheduled for the runners, three home and six away, to provide an active season for the squad. Coached by William Helmcke and John Neuhs, the team has high hopes of terminating the season with a good record. Next spring the trackmen will be considerably more experienced and should show a formidable array of talent to our coming rivals. Baseball Taking second place in section two of the South Shore league at this printing, the Sailor baseball squad seems headed for another successful season. Forty-five candidates turned out at the beginning of the season in response toCoach Edward J.Flynn’s call for piayer s. Thus far, the outstanding game of the season was the slugfest with East Rockaway, resulting in a 21 to 4 victory for the Sailors. Bill Peel, first baseman, slammed out three homeruns to lead the attack, while outfielder Larry Wilson hit one of the longest home -runs seen on the Sailor diamond. Next season also holds bright prospects for the Oceanside nine since most of the regulars return. The tennis squad is also faced at the beginning of the season with the alarming fact that most of the veterans had graduated, leaving new and inexperienced racketeers in their stead. Captained by Robert Rachofsky, the tennis team hopes to surmount their lack of veterans and end the season with a good record. Robert Rachofsky, Doqglas Gallow, Nicholas Caico, Walter Kritzer, Robert Zerrener, Ant hony Sorrent ino and Albert Tenzer are the most prominent players. Next year should see definite improvement, since none of the squad will leave Oceanside High School. Although last year's Nassau County champions, the Sailor keglers, led by Captain Clifford Glier, had only a fair season, having been hard hit by the loss of several veterans. The squad, made up of Clifford Glier, George Glier, Salvatore Caico, Bob Tan ner. JackGourlay, George Osmer, George Welsh and Albert Bailey, won six of their contests and lost eight. Ending up sixth in the league and fourth in the tournament, the bowlers look optimistically to next season to repeat their 1910 county-wide victory, since only a few players will have graduated at that time. B 0 W L 1 N G Due to the loss of practically every veteran, excepting President Thomas Fetherston, the Rifle Club did not fare too well this year. Matched against strong opponents like Hempstead, Freeport, Sewanliaka, Garden City, Central andChaminade, the Sailor sharpshooters won only one match, Kemp stead being the victim. Coached by Thomas Kyser, an expert shot in his own right, the varsity team consisted of Thomas Fetherston, Robert Anderson, Paul Andoos, Robert Zerrener. Bert Lang, Edwin Metcalf. Wallace Jew ell, Arnold Zachow and Roger Francis. Next year should be more successful. R I F L E C L U B P I N G P O N G Coming up against a stiff schedule, an inexperienced Sailor ping pong team, captained byWalter Kritzer,gained only one victory during t he seas on, that over the South Side squad. Lawrence .Lynbrook and Long Beach were the other Sailor opponents. The squad was made up of Walter Kritzer, first singles,Douglas Gallow,second singles, Chester Mott, third singles, Nicholas Caico and Lawrence Wilson,first doubles and Donald Gil and Albert Tenzer, second doubles. An entertaining part of the season was the amusiqg assembly program presented by the team,featuring faculty matches. Featuring awide selection of activities, the girls' sport program was a notable success this year. Gold sportsmanship keys, the highest awards for participation under the point system in athletics, were given to Jane Cleary, Marion Park, Madeleine Park, He len Wherry, Johanna Collins, Beatrice VanVa lkenburg and Alice Zorn. Bowling proved one of the more popular sports of the year. Among the girls who had consistently good scores are Ruth Cummings, Doris Grohs, Pat Thompson, Joan Weiss, Margaret BiewaId and Doris Ganter. Outstanding in both school and outside competition, Helen Wherry proved the most prominent bowler. This year’s exceptional sport program is a deserved tribute to Miss Lewis and Miss Oppe1. Girls Sports Undefeated champions at the Mep-ham 'Play Day,' the volley ball squad met with noteworthy success this year. Those who made this the successful season it was are Jane Cleary, Shirley Havens, Anna Herman, Mary Wood, Margaret Biewald, Madeleine Park,Marion Park,Johanna Collins, Helen Henderson,A 1 ice Zorn, Helen Wherry and Evelyn Nothel. Ping-pong was equally successful this year since Oceanside was also champion over fourteen schools at a 'Play Day held here. Jewell and Jean Stireman led the throng of students active in this game. Ida May Doern, Audrey Fountain, Rosemary Lawrence, Maryanne McAllister and Beatrice VanValken-burg were also leaders in this popular activity. Despite the fact that the basket• ball play day was cancel led because of the adverse weather condit ions, the girls' basketball honor team gained well-earned victories over South Side and Freeport. South Side provided a great deal of opposition before the superior Sailor attack finally battered down their resistance. Freeport was rushed from the start and was completely overwhelmed by the aggressive Sailor-ette basketeers. Member s of the successful basketball honor team were Anna Herman, Helen Wherry, Margaret Biewald. Anna Shea, Nona Lee Cole, Johanna Collins, Gloria Washburn, Yolanda Lanzar one . Anne Bishop, Joan Cook, and Peggy Schenning, all expert players and grand sports. Badminton is rapidly climbing in popularity, for practically all of the girls enjoy this fast-moving and exciting sport. The Sailorettes who have proved themselves most proficient at this swift sport this year are Helen Ditmars. Edith Mary Doern and Lucy Salvatore. Although the popular activities of archery and tennis have not the status of major sports in the girls’ sport program, they constitute an instructive and interesting phase of girls’ athletics. Whi le the archers have not gained any too notable success in intra-school competition, they have, nevertheless, shown themselves to be the best of sports, whether in victory or defeat. The young ladies who had proven the most accurate marksmen during the archery season were Edith An-doos. Gloria Marion, Virginia Hamilton, and Doris Grohs. Tennis also has come to be very well-liked by the ambitious girls who prefer the more individual type of activity. As there is practical ly no intra-school team compe t i -t i on, tennis is a sport where perfecting technique is stressed rather than playing to win regardless of form. Under the cheerful guidance of Miss Ruth Lewis, girls’ athletic director, and Miss Isabella Oppe1, assistant director, physical education has made definite strides in Oceanside. A major factor in the success of the second annual Girls’ Week was the direction of these members of the Oceanside faculty. Highlight of the week’s program was the hilarious basket -bal 1 contest between the honor team and women members of the faculty. Cheer Leaders Acclaimed by all as one of the best cheerleading squads inOcean-side’s history, the cheerleaders, captained by Marie Drew, engaged in an active and busy season. Not only having the knack of bringing out to full force the cheers of the students, the ‘rah rah squad added several popular cheers to their repertoire and perfected greatly many of the others. The 1940-41 team was made up of Captain Marie Drew, Joan Turley, Shirley Havens, Gloria Washburn, Helen Wherry, Helen Gr inos, Gladys Hohler, Maryanne McAllister, John Gilkes, Dominic Savino and Douglas Dune omb e.

In 1935 the General Organization of the student body presented a wallet containing a life pass to all athletic contests of Oceanside High to ‘The Old Man, as he was affectionately known. This year.as he approached 85 years of age, it was harder than ever for him to continue to attend our games. The last activity at which he was seen was a basketball game this past winter. Even now. though confined to his home, he continues to watch with great interest the sports of Oceanside and the careers of her athletes. He is still keeping his scrap book of Oceanside High's activities and pictures of teams, and his room is filled with pictures of Oceanside’s great athletes. His tremendous spirit and drive will continue to be a part of every Oceanside team long after he is gone. The 'Old Man.‘still young where sports are concerned, can think no wrong of Oceanside or its teams. It is this that has endeared him to Oce ansiders.
