Here from this protected Haven of our Youth we Sailors voyage in one great argosy—mid flying Spindrift—to the realization of our Heritage— The American Way of Life. Guarded and guided, inspired and counseled, we daily come to a fuller accomplishment of our Manhood. Through all the years that we spend in this voyage, each class, each activity, each game of our school life brings us nearer to the realization of this heritage. This yearbook reviews many phases of this transition voyage, and seeks to make apparent to all who read how able and effective are the pilots who navigate these, our individual craft, and how surely do we progress in Nobleness of Spirit, in Strength of Mind, in Soundness of Body. AN E FOR EXCELLENCE Guidance director of Oceanside High School is Miss Kinkade, whose counsel and advice have aided many Sailors of our argosy in plotting their courses. It is she who pilots us over the uncertain channels of our high school days so that each of us can receive the most benefit from his educational opportunities. Her influence on our future is even greater. Helping us to avoid future vocational difficulties and to direct our lives into the channels of true citizenship, she is truly one of our argosy. In grateful appreciation of her untiring efforts in charting our lives, we dedicate this book to her. 4 TO THE STUDENTS OF 0. H. S.: In this war-torn world of today, we all need Guidance. We need to be helped to understand ourselves--our assets and our liabilities—so that we may find our proper places in American life. No one wants to be a square peg in a round hole. We can all play some part in National Defense. Some of us will be in the Army, the Navy or the Marines. Still others will work in Defense Industries while the rest of us will have some part in Civilian Defense. Cur first job is to win this war. However, with this done each one of us must find some definite place in our nation. Only a few will be retained in the Army, Navy, Marines or in these various Defense Industries. We must look ahead so that we will have some place to fill when peace comes. We must follow our President's advice for he says that we, the youth of today, must continue our education looking forward to the day when the war is over and we are the people who must carry on the government and the business of the U. S. A. Sincerely 5 THOMAS C. FETHERSTON, President ADMIRALS ALL Once every month the Admirals of our argosy assemble to direct the general course of our fleet. Capable and energetic, they are faced with noeasy task in the direction of the Oceanside schools. Among the many problemsconfronting the Board is the establishment of school policies, the supervision of all the educational activities of the grade and high schools, as well as the Adult Night School. Within scope of their work falls the employment of capable administrative officials and faculty members tocarry out these activities and policies. They are also charged with the task of providing for the maintenance, both financial and structural, of our school system, and for ordering all the supplies needed in the seven schools of the Oceanside District. The members of the Board are as smiling and friendly as our own classmates; they are more like our friends than our board of directors. Most of them are known to us as the parents of our friends, president Thomas C. Fetherston claims two members of the June graduating class, Jean and Tom. Andrew Fritz's daughter is 0. H. S. junior Elsa, and Henry Hoffman has a son, William, in the sophomore class. Charles Goldie's son, Charles, Jr., and William Syrett's son, William, Jr., are also members of the sophomore class. Andrew Southard's son, Andrew, Jr., attends Oceanside Grammar School 4. LEFT TO RIGHT WILLIAM H. STRETT CHARLES H. GOLDIE ANDREW S. SOUTHARD ANDREW R. FRITZ HENRY L. HOFFMAN. Treasurer indication of their character. Publicity manager of an industrial corporation, Mr. Fetherston, who has served on the Board for four years, lists boating, navigation, and a home workshop as his hobbies. Mr. Hoffman, who has been a member of the Board for eleven years, is another boating enthusiast, when free from his duties in the U. S. Internal Revenue Department. Mr. Syrett, a member for the past three years, is connected with the New York Telephone Company, and lists bowling, baseball, and tennis as his hobbies. Architect Andrew Fritz, a Board member for the past four years, likes fishing and bowling, while four-year member Andrew Southard, who is connected with the Tax office, Town of Hempstead, includes all sports as his special favorites. This year new problems confront our Board of Education. The problem of providing safety for the school children during an air raid adds to their burden, with the addition of special boys' training courses, in preparation for defense work, still another load on their shoulders. Even now, several of the schools under their jurisdiction are overcrowded, and demands for a solution will undoubtedly increase as time goes on. We Sailors are proud, however, that our Admirals are at the helm, able and ready to solve any problems facing our argosy. OCEANSIDE ROAD SCHOOL, No. 4 TERRELL AVENUE SCHOOL, No. 2 WALTER S. BOARDMAN CHARLES R. MOSBACK Commodore of the Fleet is Dr. Walter S. Boardman, our superintendent. Now in command of our argosy his guiding knowledge holds firm the course in the stormy passage to our heritage. A likeable, genial, and understanding commodore, Dr. Boardman has sailed before the mast in the quest for knowledge and earned a master's rating. After studying at Fredonia State Normal School, the Albany State College for Teachers, and Columbia University, he received his degree of Doctor of Education from New York University, in June, 1941. His first position was that of supervising principal of Staatsburg Union School. Following this he became principal of 0. H. S. in 1927. In 1940 he succeeded Mr. S. Taylor Johnson, Superintendent of Oceanside Schools, who retired from office. His one leading ambition now is to continue improvement of Oceanside schools. Mr. Charles R. Mosback is the Captain and leader of our argosy. He is our advisor—to him we go for counsel and guidance in our many 0. H. S. problems. Because of his interest in physical education, he attended the Savage School in New York, and came to Oceanside in 1931 as our director of physical education. Shortly after, he received his Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Education. It was as a result of this further study that he received his principal's license. When Dr. Boardman became superintendent in 1940, Mr. Mosback took over his command as our principal. Friendly, energetic, and helpful, Mr. Mosback's aims in life are now largely concerned with our education. I hope to see our high school constantly pushing ahead— playing an important part in meeting the needs of our country and the people of our community. With Captain Mosback at the helm, we Sailors will surely voyage safely. Mildred E. I.itson. Ass'tSecretary Hermine H. Nelson, Secretary Dorothy M. Dovel. Ass't Secretary Fayf. S. Hurrell. Secretary The guiding of the students of our argosy is in the capable hands of those persons best fitted to handle the tremendous task. This group is led by Mr. Mosback, our Captain, who has the task of setting down general rules of discipline and guidance, and handling all the major disciplinary cases. To frame a general code for all the guidance problems of the school, Mr. Mosback calls joint meetings of the senior and junior high school staffs. He contacts business establishments and schools to secure opportunities for the students of our argosy, and then leaves the actual arrangements to Miss Kinkade and Miss Campbell. Miss Kinkade is known to us all as the person we juniors and seniors consult about schedule changes, scholarships, and the pursuit of further education. Miss Campbell serves as liaison director between the junior high and the high school. It is she who aids the ninth grade students to choose their high school schedule, there- by saving a great deal of confusion for them during their f irst days in high school. Miss Pancoast is vocational placement guidance director of our school. Through her business education courses she places people in after school jobs, which often lead to work after graduation. Miss Lewis and Mr. Flynn as physical education directors are in an ideal position to aid Mrs. Smith in health guidance. Because they now handle all absentee excuses, they are enabled toact as a sifting agency for the health department, in that their files present as complete a picture of the students' health during the year. Mrs. Smith, as school nurse-teacher, has a great deal to do with the personal health of the students of our argosy. Miss Pearson, as assistant principal and adviser of student government, serves as a guide to our democratic principles, and is responsible for the guidance of students to the realization of democratic ideals. M. Louise Campbell Guidance Alice E. Kinkade Senior Guidance ENGLISH Frances Weaver LcRoy Pearson Dorothy E. Doyle Lee O. Hench Charles Pieper Guiding us in the English department of our argosy are skilled pilots striving to bring us through devious channels into a sure working knowledge of our language and toward a keen interpretation of our heritage of literature. Opening our eyes to the beauties, the oddities, and the common sense of Americans, our teachers lead us to interpret the characteristics, motives, and moods of people in fiction and in life—the thought, the feeling, the thinking of America. We learn how to read, write and speak our language thoroughly so that we are well trained to take our place in our world and in our way—the American Way of Life. In speech we develop strong personalities and the power of clear logical thinking and expression. In journalism we develop skil1 in original writing and regular and efficient reading habits. In the various classes many activities highlighted the year. One of the features of English 8 this year was a unit of study of the literature of the countries of the world. The aim was to broaden our view of literature and to create an appreciation for other peoples and other lands. In English 7 we studied Macbeth , Merton of the Movies and dramatized four one act plays. Junior classes have placed particular emphasis on American literature. We have studied the poetry, the essay, and the drama of America. Through this study we believe we have come better to understand the soul and the heart of America, her ideals, her ambitions. We have been urged to develop the critical reading and listening habits, deemed necessary if we are to participate in the democratic idea of government as alert, thoughtful, discriminating citizens. In sophomore classes we have continued the review of basic skills necessary to secure accurate information and to interpret it correctly. Some of us did outstanding work in sentence analysis and construction and in character study in short story and novel. 10 SOCIAL SCIENCE Roland W. Loveland Gertrude Gunther Alan I. Chase Fordyce C. Stone The prime purpose of the Social Studies department is to acquaint the students with the past and present history of the world, and the economic theories and practices that have so much to do with our Way of Life. The faculty members of this department are Mr. Alan I. Chase, American history, Miss Gertrude Gunther, modern European history and American history, Mr. Fordyce C. Stone, American history, economics and economic geography, and Mr. Roland Loveland, world history. History, now a compulsory three year course in our school, serves to give a thorough knowledge and an intelligent understanding of America's activities. It is not only the background of all the social studies, but for literature, fine arts and many others, as well. The courses now offered at Oceanside prepare us for the American Way of Life bygiving usa complete understanding of the problems of our country, and the world. Economics and economic geography stress the theories behind the happenings of today, and create a greater knowledge of the natural forces of our country. By stressing the products vitally necessary for defense, where grown, substitutes, and how dependent we are on them, and by clarifying issues of tax laws, money and bonds, to the students of these classes come toa truer realization of their responsibility in maintaining this American democracy. Highlighting the year were many features that made the work more interest ing. Movies of factory life were shown and the economic theories behind our current defense measures were checked, thus bringing thesubject nearer to the students. Comparing thecauses, thedefense activities, and the methods of the two World Wars proved of real interest and value. Students of the history classes participated in the American Legion Oratorical Contest on the subject of the Constitution. 11 SCIENCE Kirke E. Davis Leon H. Sayre J. Howard Cooper John C. Martin INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Science department of Oceanside High School consists of Mr. Kirke E. Davis, who teaches chemistry and physics, and Mr. Leon Sayre, biology instructor. In the science laboratory on the third floor of 0.H.S., classes in instruction in chemistry and physics are held, and students spend two periods a week doing lab work. Thus, by experimenting individually with the principles of science, they learn the application of these principles and independence with the tools of science. In the Junior High School building is the science room of Mr. Sayre, where high school students study the fundamentals of biology, and prepare themselves for scientific professions. A special feature that was recently instigated by the science department is the Radio Communications course, which is designed to train radio technicians and operators. Until the recent ban on private radio stations, Mr. Davis and his students had a short-wave radio station which kept iu communication with otter high school stations . The Industrial Arts Shop of Oceanside High School plays an important part in the mental and physical development of the citizens of our argosy. Classes under the direct ion of Mr. J. Howard Cooper, Industrial Arts instructor, and Mr. John Martin, assistant instructor, have devoted much time to making splints for the Red Cross and are now engaged in making bedside tables to be used in Army, camp infirmaries, wherever the need is greatest. Lathes, drills and other machines are in constant motion, as O.H.S.'s Shop goes, all out for defense, and machine-minded Sailors prepare to make their contributions to the American Way of Life. A Junior Defense Training Course for Pench Machinists is now a part of the Shop's curriculum. Students taking this course and completing three hundred hours of intensified training are eligible for employment in large defense plants. Boys of all sizes and ages are being taught to use their hands and their minds to the greatest advantage of themselves and their country. FOREIGN LANGUAGE MATHEMATICS Gertrude Gunther Anne D. Raynor Charles Pieper Alice E. Kinkade Elaine Rapp Alice Lentzsch From the study of foreign languages, more is to be learned than a mere knowledge of grammar. We learn of the economic and geographic facts that govern the destinies of countries, and we gaina greater appreciation of the American Way of Life by comparing these lands with ours. From the study of French the confused situation in that country prior to her overthrow becomes a stirring example of what must not happen here. Latin gives us deeds of the patriotism of Roman heroes, and a knowledge of German is certainly essential in achieving the permanent peace that must come before we can realize our heritage. Spanish is ever-important in this era of Pan-Americanism and the Good Neighbor policy. This year has been a momentous one for the language classes. An assembly put on by the Spanish students and designed to make 0. H. S. South American conscious, taught the student body a few everyday Spanish expressions. Students of the French class have translated modernized Aesop's Fables, and several modern popular songs, which they have sung in French. Miss Elaine Rapp and Miss Alice E. Kinkade are the mathematical pilots of the individual craft of our argosy. Striving to fill the minds of us Sailors with the axioms and theorems of plane and solid geometry, algebra and trigonometry, they are entrusted with the teaching of one of the most important tools of our nation, mathematics. The preparation we Sailors receive from this intensive training in mathematics willbeof much use to us, even if our future lives are not directly connected with the fields of engineering, navigation, mechanics, orscience, that make use of such knowledge. The sharpening of wits and orderliness of thinking that come to us as a result of a study of mathematics are well worth the time spent. This year the plan of the Math department has been to make math live for the students. In stressing the students' application of what he learns, the department made arrangements for an outdoor session of the trigonometry class in which the fundamentals of trigonometry were used in surveying. MUSIC PHYSICAL EDUCATION Pauline E. Hess James R. Day Edward J. Flynn Ruth A. Lewis William F. Helmcke Isabella Oppel The music-makers of O.H.S. are under the direction of Miss Pauline E. Hess and Mr. James R. Day, who together control the organization and teaching of our school orchestra, choristers, and band. The annual Spring Music Festival is the biggest event of the year for the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs and the Orchestra. The orchestra also provides music for the graduation exercises, the Senior Play, and the Masque Society productions, and every Christmas these musical Sailors take part in the Community Christmas program. Just as busy, is Mr. Day's O.H.S. Band, which starts the year thrilling Sid-ers at football games by their music, baton twirlers and Swiss flag swinging squad. Each year, the band takes part in the Memorial Day exercises and performs at Jones' Beach, besides playing in assembly almost weekly, and holding a Band Concert for music-loving Sailors. Music does much to strengthen American Unity and lifts the spirits of the Sailors to sound patriotic ideals. One of the most influential courses in our argosy is physical Education. Mr. Edward J. Flynn, assisted by Mr. William HeLncke, has charge of the boys' program, while Miss Ruth Lewis and Miss Isabella Oppel are the girls' instructors. Although the classwork of the boys' and girls' classes must necessarily be different, the fundamental aims of physical Education are the same. Good sportsmanship, physical fitness, and better citizenship are their goals. Exercises that develop coordination, games that create cooperation, and a fundamental training in sports—all that is part of the program. The boys' classes excel ingymnasics, while the girls have lessons in tumbling and rope-climbing. Throughout the year, the rules and application of them are stressed, as both classes enter into intra-class competition. One of the highlights of the boys' activities was the Sport Night, in which four teams of boys entered into competition in sixteen events. Olga A. Johnson Louise Sanger Tina O. Smith Dr. Anthony’I. Profit. The American Way of Life aims to develop initiative and expression. It is the ideal of our art department to foster this originality and self expression in all students of 0. H. S. Cooperation is reached toward this goal by common consent. Cooperation is the basis of all larger group projects and the department cooperates fully with all other departments particularly the dramatic, publicity, music, and athletic departments. There has been a steady stream of posters, signs, and labels, scenery and illustrations for all imaginable needs. For the Spring Music Festival on May 8 a large scroll accompanying the King Cole Fantasia was prepared by a group of specially talented students.________ Secondary School Nurse-Teacher is Mrs. Tina Smith, who, with Dr. Anthony J. Profi-ta, medical inspector of the Oceanside Schools, secures the health of every member of our argosy. Foremost in their duties is the thorough physical examination of each student. with a consequent health rating of A, B, C, or D, according to the results of the examination. Mrs. Smith has the task of sending home ill students and readmitting students after an illness. Hers is also the job of conducting ear tests and providing first aid for students stricken in school. She conducts classes in Health Education and has a Red Cross Nursing course in the junior high school. A master of her art is Miss Olga Johnson, our home economics teacher. Sheguides us in the knowledge of good food habits, adequate diets, correct clothing, and household needs. All this we treasure in our American Way of Life. Urging all her students onward tobet-ter ideals, Miss Johnson also stresses the need of saving and constant care in order to prevent unnecessary waste. During the year the home making department sewed for the Red Cross, making children's flannel dresses, scarfs, andafgans. The girls made school letters and flags for the band, and arranged teas. Madolyn E. Pancoast Alice Lentzsch Wllhelmina Nunnenkamp M. Louise Campbell Guided by a group of excellent pilots, students who plan to make business their career have the best of instruction in the commercial department of 0. H. S. There are unaccountable opportunities in the field. Whether we are taking a complete business course, or merely one or two of the many commercial subjects, there is more to be gained than just a few extra points to a diploma. Every hour in every course is preparing us in a definite way for the life we will lead, the American Way of Life that awaits us. Business subjects give the student an idea of what the great business world is like and prepare him for what is before him. But there is no teacher like experience, and the classes in Retail Selling are required to secure actual experience as part of their course. They are placed in department stores or shops and work for a week or so at a time. These students are treated as a regular employee and are reimbursed for their work. Stenography is also an important commercial requirement. Shorthand and typewriting are taught to those students who want a thorough foundation for the business world. The United States Civil Service is reporting a great shortage of capable office workers and filling this need are our high school students trained for these positions. In all of our commercial classes our first aim is for accuracy; the second, for speed. All work must be effective, and is therefore vocational and functional in aim. Commercial graduates with a Regents diploma are adequately prepared to accept a position without further study in business school, thereby saving valuable time for both themselves, their families, and industry. One of the highlights of the year was the novel Blond vs. Brunette competition, that took place in the typewriting classes. Since there could be no outside competition, this was substituted, and the results gave the brunettes some margin as better typists. Records for defense were also kept Dy some individual students. 16 llUtird' v i .'. +’. r , .;!

The members of this outstanding class are very enthusiastic about school affairs, as shown by their participation in extra-curricular activities. A high percentage of these students take part in the Sider press, Service Club, Spindrift and various sports. They started the year in a very businesslike way in their class elections. William Henesy was made president; William Quartaro, vice-president, and Elsa Fritz, secretary-treasurer. At the elections of the Athletic Board, Michael Orzanowas made vice-president. Another member of the class who has distinguished herself is Joan Weis. She was elected Secretary of the G. 0., a high position for a member of the beginning Junior Class. The class of January, 1944 has not neglected the social end of school activities. In December they held the class party at which they played ping pong, shuffle board and danced. Refreshments were served and every one had a good time. The same night there was a community sing in the junior high auditorium, which affected the number at the party, but many attended the party after the sing was concluded. President William Henesy and his committeemen have made plans for a picnic in May to be held at Hempstead Lake State park. If transportation does not present a problem, the class will go on a roller skating party at the Mineola skating Rink. The defense drive has had the whole-hearted cooperation of all members of the class. The Youth Defense Council gets many of its most active participants from the source. QuatraroUlrich, HenVleh.

To head this listwecan mention the officers, who have shown both initiative and cooperation in advancing their class. They have as president attractive Joan Strohm, who has done well in leading her fellow members. A very capable and efficient young man holds the office of vice-president, namely, Leroy White. Leroy, a talented art student, has spent hours of his time in the studio, making posters for our argosy. Many of the clever sketches in the log of our argosy have been done by him. The office of secretary is held by reliable Muriel Clark, who is known for her neat manner of dressing. As cheerleader she has been active in working for the school. The responsible posit ion as treasurer of her class is filled by Doris Schimang. Doris, a live-wire in school affairs, had an important part in the Masque Society play Fly Away Home this year. She is also an outstanding student in Miss Fancoast's department, as she has received very excellent mention for her selling ability. In addition to the officers others in the class have participated extensively in the extra-curricular activities. In mentally tabulating those members of the June 43 class in the Masque Society, one thinks, of course, of witty Donald Bradshaw, who does not restrict his love of dramatization and entertainment to the dramatic club; but to the delight of all, is always acting out some amusing panto-mine. Other members in the Masque Society are Doris Schimang, already mentioned, Edwin Smith, George Spanos, Jean Marie Mahon, Howard Abrams, and Jack Walsh. The last four and Donald Bradshaw have been honored by election into the Thespian Society.

Two of its members belong to the beloved Harmonites; they are Fred Fenton and Sumner Truitt. The Juniors have some outstanding athletes among them, including Lawrence Gubelli, William Thompson, Douglas Gallow, and Norval Anson. Not to forget the publications of our school, this class has contributed time and talent in that field too. John Paisolli, for example, has given hours to an excellent job of make-up for the Sidei press. Bob Downs, who is endowed with that rarea-bility of keeping things going smoothly, has impressed all as a most dependable and responsible press staff superintendent. Fred Cole has been a star salesman of advertisements for the Spindrift for two years. Harry Silvermann has done a commendable piece of work in printing the headlines of the Spindrift.

JUST APPRENTICE SEAMEN The advanced soph group has proved to be a very outstanding class this year. There was one all-girl and one all-boy homeroom; also two mixed classes. Perhaps the most important of these four homerooms was Miss Rapp's all-girl room, 303. The first thing that this group accomplished was the winning of the Magazine Drive. The girls in 303 were the first to reach their quota and at the conclusion of the drive had quadrupled it. Edith Sennett, a member of this outstanding room, was the highest individual salesman in the entire school. As the term progressed, this class was first in the G. 0. and Red Cross Drives. Three of the four sophomore class officers hail from 303. They are Ann Turley, Dot Meehan and Jean Conrade. Three of the flag throwers, Emily Mary Goodwin, June Bidwell and Maureen Maloy are members of this class. And two of the newly appointed cheerleaders, Dot Meehan and Ann Turley, come from Miss Rapp's group. These facts show how great is the significance of this room's leadership.

Another important event was Miss Rapp's birthday, when the group presented her with a clock. Mr. Pearson's all-boy homeroom boasts the fact that the president of the soph group is a member of this room. He is Howard Combs. Two other important members of this group are Donald Seagraves and Wilbur Horsecraft, who are very outstand- ing in athletics. Miss Pancoast's room like the other rooms, filled a lovely Christmas basket. One of the outstanding members of this room is Richard Keyes, who amuses his classmates by his frequent rhumba intervals. Miss Weaver's homeroom has been active in keeping the school grounds free from refuse. This class boasts the fact that Velma Traynor is one of its members. Velma is known for her singing, and she has been known to broadcast on the radio. Last term the soph group as a whole held a soph hop in the Oceanside gymnasium. This term the group is planning to have colored movies taken of all class members. The June '44 graduating class is destined to go down in Oceanside High School history as one of the most outstanding groups ever to graduate. CLASS ADVISERS. Miss R«pp and Mr. Pearson BEGINNING BLUEJACKETS Our new sophomore class is very promising with Arthur Kent as president; James Wood, vice-president; and Louis Snell, secretary. Although our school and its activities were new to them, they have participated in many of our sports events. Bill Mack, John Reilly and Roy Johnson made the varsity track team, and Calvin Ousterman is on the varsity for baseball. Roy is also working hard practicing football. However, the boys aren't the only ones who have shown school-spirit. Fat Jones plays a wonderful game of ping pong and Anita Higgins, Cynthia Langdon, Alice Terrell, Joan Lieberthal, Doreen Finnigan and Mary Jean Valverde are members of the Service Club. The Sider Press has been benefited with their help also. Upon graduation from the Junior High School, this class had the pleasure of an advance meeting with the Senior High School faculty in the cafeteria one afternoon. It was the first class to be introduced into the high under a rather more formal plan than heretofore, and both teachers and students enjoyed the occasion. Miss Campbell, who knew the sophomores in her capacity as guidance counsellor, introduced the faculty. We're sure you'll be hearing a lot about them during their next three years.

The curtain was about to part—the audience eagerly awaited the fall induction of new members into the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools at Oceanside. Then—a shrill siren screamed through the air! Every student go immediately to his home! This is an air raid! announced the principal. And so the audience went home only to return in less than twenty minutes, this time really to observe this semi-annual induction. The speakers had been slightly nervous, and following the practice air raid, were more excited than ever. But trying to follow their high standards leadership, service, and character, combined with one of the most important—scholarship—they rendered their speeches as well as they could. This was the most unusual of all Honor Society inductions in Oceanside. Through the many years of an honor organization here no such happening has occurred. Formed in 1931 as the State High School Honor Society League, it progressed rapidly during the years. In 19:34 the society became nation-wide and was known as the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools. The object of this chapter shall be to create an enthusiam for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of Oceanside High School, Such is the aim of the chapter. Inspiring honor in the minds and hearts of Oceanside students, this group are the leaders in the many school activities. They pursue straight paths, guiding their followers to future goals as coming leaders of Oceanside. Every semester, Mr. Mosback, our captain, accompanies the group on a trip to some educational point of interest on Long Island or in New York City. This past semester the honor students went to the city to view the recently constructed Cathedral of St. John the Divine. They also saw the Statue of Liberty, and concluded their trip at the La Guardia Airport, in Flushing. 49 FRONT ROW, L. to R.-Bedel, Roefener, Abott, Salth, Reilly, Lucas; SECOND ROW: Miss Pearson, Pelftrla, DukeshIre; TOP ROW: Coryell, Abraas, Roberts, Sand MacAllster, Prochilo, Weis, Salvatore, Coafort, penn, Spanos, Walsh, DeLacy, Cuaalns, Stockaan. The Sailors of our argosy are represented in a student council by young disciples of democracy who gather in the school library to carry out in Oceanside High School in actual practice the ideal of the American Way of Life. The inner council—the real clock work—are representatives of each of the six classes from beginning sophomore to advanced senior. The outer council, meeting only once a month, is composed of representatives from each homeroom. Among the activities of the G. 0. are the Annual Magazine Drive, the drawing up of a school calendar listing all the activities of the year, and the purchase of a new Public Address system. The council members arranged for the assembly programs and appropriated funds to produce them. They also plan the National Honor Society inductions and purchase the awards given to members of the Society. This year the G. 0. introduced the sale of Defense Stamps in the school. This was partly taken over as a project of the Mathematics Club shortly after its organization. Thus, the vox populi of the Sailors is the student council which, advised by Miss Eunice Pearson, is fulfilling the purpose of self-government in that it is instilling the spirit and ideals of democracy in the travellers of our argosy. r ROW, L. to R.-Salth, SECOND ROW: Hoefen«r Reilly.

TALKATIVE GOBS The Forum Club, captained by Mr. Charles E. Peiper, assembles weekly to discuss and debate world problems and events. The first manoeuver of these Sailors was the election of officers, namely, president, Pierson McLean; corresponding secretary, Robert DeLacey; recording secretary, Irene Spanos; and treasurer, Elsie Stockman. The most important work of the Club this year was in connection with the formation of a Long Island Forensic League of Forum and Debate Clubs. Oceanside was the scene of the second meeting of Nassau County schools, and plans for the League, made at a previous meeting held at Lawrence, were completed. This year, the other activities of the Club included awards to prominent senior members and amendment of the constitution. The annual reunion and outing of the club proved a great success. Next year the foremost aims of the group will be to increase the membership substantially, create a greater interest in forums and debates among the students of O.H.S., and further the organization of the Long Island Forensic League. ''VISITORS AHOY! Carrying messages and running errands are among the tasks of our volunteer student guides, but their main work, that of directing those un-acauainted with our argosy, has won them the name of student receptionists. These boys give up a daily study period for this service and are stationed during their period at two posts in the school, so situated that all entrances are covered. From their posts, the student guides are able to spot any stranger, parents, or others, who are unaware of the lay-out of the building.

Pilot of the loyal crew is Miss Pauline E. Hess. Throughout the voyage the crew has played for assemblies, P.T.A. meetings, plays, and has introduced a new graduation march Pomp and Chilvalry instead of the familiar Pomp and Circumstance . This year, also, several more outstanding players were accepted in the Nassau All County Orchestra. The major event was the spring festival concert on May 8th when the boat and its crew were decked in gay costumes forthe occasion. Old King Cole , a fantasia by Lester Brocton; Let Freedom Ring by Clifford Devarest; and Marines March by E. De-Lameter are several selections which the High School Orchestra played. Hail To The Varsity by Paul Yoder was conducted by Helen Henderson as student conductor. Soloists of theconcert included Lee Amiral, pianist who played Imprompter in E Flat Major by Schubert. Harry Cornell, on the drums, and Denise Bunce, on the Marimba,were soloists.

Under the capable direction of Miss Pauline E. Hess, the girls presented numbers such as I Would Be True and Follow the Gleam at the fall induction of the Honor Society members. AttheMay Festival, when all the musicians of our argosy made their appearance, those songsters presented many tuneful songs of different nature for the enjoyment of all.

It’s the 0. H. S. band on parade! Led by Mr. James R. Day, the band is in action at our football games— marching down the field in their blue, white, and gold uniforms—forming the familiar 0 for Oceanside—playing the welcome song for the visiting school—our band stands for 0. H. S. spirit and fight. The band took part in community parades on various holidays throughout the year, the most important being the Memorial Day Parade. More twirlers and flag swingers were added to the marching band this year. The twirlers, led by Betty Ann Quaritius as drum majorette, included Gene Wood, Irene Connors, Helen Manookian, Marilyn Berndt, Dorothy Cornell, and Audrey Forsberg. Having learned many new steps to their routine, the flag throwers, Hope Overton, Elaine Neitlich, Doris Adrian, Maureen Maloy, and Emily Mary Goodwin, presented a colorful picture for our football fans. Band concerts were held on deck semi-annually. At the January concert three guest artists were present—Mr. Humbert R. Fennino, guest trumpet soloist, Jules Tancredi, assisting artist, and Miss Vernell Wells of the Spitalny All-Girl Orchestra. Jane Phillips, flute; Clifford Glier, clarinet; Denise Bunce, marimba; and Deane Muenzer, harp; were student soloists.

Adding talent and color to the All-Nassau County Band were Betty Ann Quaritius, Jean Conrade, Jane Phillips, Robert Kowitt, Sumner Truitt, Ruth Cummings, and Harry Gaines, who played at the All-Nassau Concert on March 28 at Adelphi College, Garden City, which was the scene of the concert. Our assembly programs, appearances at a concert at Jones Beach, and providing musical enjoyment for the P. T. A. are some of the activities of the band. The spring band concert was sponsored by the F. T. A. Hawaiian Overture by Terfilli, Hall of Fame , Anchors Away and other patriotic selections were rendered. Bob Kowitt on the cornet, accompanied by Lee Amiral played the Flight of the Rumble Bee . This group of young artists practices faithfully, playing not only for their own enjoyment but for that of others as well. LEFT to RIGHT-Trultt, Carpenter, McCann. Cornell, Wagner, Fenton THEY SWING IT! Swing 'nd Sway the Harmonite Way! That's the tempo set by these students of the musical curriculum of our school in their spare hours. Way back in 1910, this organization was started by little Harry Cornell, and since then it has rapidly become a part of 0. H. S. This popular troupe has taken part in all the Service Club dances that have been given in the past year. With Harry on the drums, Tony Carpenter on his mellow new bass, Sumner Truitt giving out with all he's got on the sax and ebony stick, tiny John McCann rendering trumpet notes in a gay fashion, Graham Hay plunking away on the keys, Freddie Fenton pouring his heart into the accordian strains, and Edythe Wagner handling all the vocals in her own distinctive style, the Harmonites have gone a long way right into the hearts of all true Sailors . This isn't mentioning the many prizes they have taken away from the current Newsday Talent Quests! BIG GUNS OF O. H. S. Defense for America! Aboard the ship Youth Defense Council activities are running full speed. The Sailors are getting ready to put out to sea for Uncle Sam. Members of this new group were under the direction of Fordyce C. Stone and at the time of organization under the guidance of Dr. William Torpey, who is now serving in the Navy. The student workers passed out and collected the original defense questionnaires. Circulars concerning finances and defense salvage were distributed to the people of the community. A number from the group took the Air Raid Warden's Course and First Aid. Salvage materials, metals, and coat hangers were collected, and assistance given in sugar rationing.

Sit erect, chest out, and breathe deeply are some of the directions one hears as one walks into the lunch room of the Junior High School building during the Boys' Glee Club rehearsal. Already in its ninth year, the Boy's Glee Club has sung at many concerts and several school dances. The combination of their deep, rich resonant tones and their inimitable style have won them great popularity among the students and concert-goers. The boys worked most of the year in preparation for the annual music concert,which was held in the Junior High School auditorium in observance of National Music Week. Their songs included Just Like A Gypsy by Simons and O' Man River by Kern. Accompanying the boys in their musical selections is talented Lee Amiral, pianist, who has been with them for two years. One of the attractive features of the concert was the closing number of the orchestra in which the boys sang two verses of the Marines Hymn . As we sail along the boys add much to the gayety and good cheer prevailing. MASTERS OF THE SLIDE RULE A new ship added to our fleet this year is the C. H. S. Mathematics Club. This organization was formed last fall, and its constitution was drawn up in November, at one of the first meetings. In January the club held a dinner meeting at Savoy Inn, Freeport, at which Mr. Thomas C. Fetherston, President of the Board of Education,was guest speaker. A team of four, Carl Wierum, Harry Silverman, Hubert Krantz, and Pierson McLean, entered the Pi Mu Epsilon Mathematics contest at New York University on April 18 to match their wits against those of other student mathematicians. Miss Elaine Rapp, who so capably organized the group, coached the boys. FRONT ROW, L. to R.-Hamilton, Proehllo, Mahon, DeLaey, Fetherston, Cola, Bunce, Genel, Peek, odabashlan.

S.—it's the Press Room, where writers, typists, stencil-ists, and printers, gather to produce our mimeo-vari-typed newspaper, The Sider Press, published weekly on Thursday by the Press Club. Hey, where's that story about the Masque Society? Yes, and where's Dick? Dot, is there enough copy for this week's issue? Come here, Downs's—one of you! These are questions and exclamations that might be heard coming from the little room at the end of the first floor hall. Here Richard McDonald, editor-in-chief, writes editorials; Barbara Brownell, John Paisolli and Elaine Neitlich make-up pages; Dorothy Hench, news editor, checks copy; Hubert Krantz brings in sports stories; Anne Bishop types features; and Rosemarie Fahy, school editor, gives assignments while Mr. Lee Hench, publication director, advises. The printing staff, this year, was one of the most efficient and dependable. Led by Robert Downs, superintendent, the boys did commendable work for the P. T. A., for national defense, and for the school office. Tony Prochilo, business manager, was in charge of the advertising and circulation staffs. Leading in advertising sales was Keith Osterheld, advertising manager aided by Camella Orzano, and guided by Miss Madolyn Pancoast. The paper was sold through the efforts of the circulation staff of which Rita Cox is manager, and Miss M. Louise Campbell who replaced Miss Wilhelmina Nunnenkamp, in the fall, as advisor. With the aid of the newly established Journalism class and under the direction 58 of Dorothy Hench, news was sent to local papers including the Review Star , Newsday , and the Oceanside Home News. The service was carried through the fall successfully, and during the spring term it was continued by the Sigma Phi, O.H.S. chapter of the National Quill and Scroll, national honorary society for high school journalists. Rosemarie Fahy headed this staff. To many of the press Club members the most outstanding accomplishment of the year was the Mid Year Supplement published by workers on the Sider Press, Spindrift and students from the Journalism class. The Supplement was edited and produced under the direction of Joy Kearns, associate editor of the Sider Press . The issue was a twelve page photo-offset paper complete with pictures and interesting copy. Results of the senior popularity polls, an editorial by Dr. Roardman, a special Archie Sez column with a picture of Uncle Archie, a literary page, girls and boys sports reviews, and a double page of pictures— allwere included in the issue. During the year the staff attended the semi-annual meeting of the Nassau School Press Association of which Richard McDonald is president. The Press Club was also well represented at the annual Columbia Press Association Convention held at Columbia University on March 12, 13, and 14. The Sider Press received the All-Columbian citation for excellence in news writing and headlines in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Critical Contest as well as rating First Place as a mimeographed paper. Other awards received were First Place in the National Scholastic Critical Contest, all New York State award in the Empire State School Press Association contest, and the International First Flace award from Quill and Scroll.

A group of eighty-five eager dramatic students, piloted by Miss Frances Weaver, provide theatrical diversion for the Sailors . Each Monday evening the Masque Society members gather in the Junior High School auditorium to plan plays, assembly programs, entertainments, and various other activities that fill their calendar. The most important activity this year was the presentation of the annual spring play, a hilarious comedy, Fly Away Home . Acted, staged and produced by these students, it proved to be a true indication of the high standard of work done by this club. Rehearsals began weeks in advance, with Miss Frances Weaver, experienced adviser of the club, as director. Among the other important activities was the annual Christmas play presented by the group, as part of the community program; this year's offering was The Beau of Bath , given as a radio program. An exchange play was presented at Malverne, and a trip to New York City to attend Junior Miss and Blithe Spirit were highlights for Masque members. The year was concluded with Thespian Night , an evening devoted to the parents and friends of the Masque Society members. Entertainment was provided by three one-act plays, which were directed by three Thespians, Jean Fetherston, Jill Stauf, and Pierson McLean. FIRST ROW L. to R.-Duffy, Coffey, A.

Admission 36c, 4c Tax OFFICERS BARN DANCE SCENE WE SERVE The life-savers of our argosy are the Service Club girls, a group always ready to aid in a worthy cause, no matter what it may be. Among the yearly activities of the Club are the filling and distribution of Thanksgiving baskets to the needy, the old clothes drive sponsored for the benefit of poverty-stricken Arkansas mountaineers, and membership in the Red cross, which this year, more than ever before, needed the support of all its members. Besides the regular annual Red Cross Drive, a drive for the War Relief Fund was carried on in 0. H. S. and proved a credit to the girls who sponsored it. The Service Club members were not engrossed only in serious work, however. Two of this year's most outstanding dances were those presented by the Sailorettes . Besides the annual Barn Dance, complete with corn-husks, and marryin' preacher, La Fiesta , a South American dance highlighted the year's activities. Individually, as well as collectively, the Service Club girls served. Representatives of the Club attended Junior Red Cross meetings in nearby schools, as well as serving as hostesses when the meeting was held in Oceanside. A visit was paid to an old folks home where entertainment was provided by the more talented members. During the year the girls knitted sweaters, stockings, beanies, and completed three afgans. By special request of the Junior Red Cross, 17 hot water bag covers were also made for hospitalized soldiers. $70, a most generous sum, was given to the Red Cross for the War Relief Fund. To the Service Club and to Miss Anne Raynor, admired advisor of this hard working group, goes an E for Excellence. FIRST ROW, L. to R.-Jacobs, Doer-f1lnger, Higgins.

THE LOG OF OUR ARGOSY This year the Spindrift has tried to convey a message to the students and friends of C.H.S., a message which it is hoped will explain the prime purpose of this school democracy. Since September the staffs of our make-up, art and literary departments have striven to portray in graphic form the ideals of our great argosy. Led by Mr. Lee Hench, general publications and Joy Kearns, editor-in-chief of the book, the editorial and business staffs were organized to carry out this complex project. With managing editor Joan Doerf linger at work with her T-square and drawing board, a working dummy was drawn up, and page lay-outs decided upon. The senior pages presented the next problem. Class editor, Virginia Hamilton, and editorial adviser, Miss Gertrude Gunther were in charge of gathering this information. Dorothy Hench directed the Spindrift activities section, and Hubert Krantz served as sports editor of the book. Miss Louise Sanger advised the art department which, supervised by editor Virginia Yasensky, designed a cover and end-pages and drew the small sketches. While all this activity was going on, business manager Gloria Duncan was organizing two staffs to finance the yearbook. Advised by Miss Elaine Rapp, and directed by Thomas Fetherston, the circulation staff turned in almost four hundred subscriptions. Still more was needed to produce the book. Therefore formal group pictures and candid shots were taken. Warren Mayer became student photographer, aided by Peggy Turley, photographic editor and guided by Mr. Charles Pieper, who also took pictures as well as advised. Thus the f inaldummy of Spindrift was produced. BUSINESS STAFF FIRST ROW, L. to R.-Senn� tt, Gluck.

BOARD OF MUSCLEMEN The Boys' Athletic Board of Oceanside High School is a democratic organization with representatives elected by popular vote from each homeroom. The purpose of the Board is to organize and control intra-school and inter-school sport activities. This group, which was first organized by Mr. Mosback, is now under the leadership of our Physical Education Director, Mr. Edward J. Flynn. The meetings of the Board are twice a month, at which time the members discuss current athletic problems of the school and vote on awards for varsity and junior varsity players. The Athletic Board is governed by four officers, namely, president, Frank Roberts; vice-president, Michael Orzano; secretary, Larry Gubelli; and sergeant-at-arms, Harry Schneider. The Athletic Board representatives and their alternates serve 0. H. S. in many ways. Because the control of athletics is in the hands of the boys themselves, there is actually more of a feeling of sportsmanship among the athletes of our school. Among the other duties of the Board members are giving a clear and concise report of the happenings of each meeting to their respective homerooms. They also serve on committees that are selected to carry out the work of the Board, assist Mr. Flynn, and serve as ushers at all the home basketball games. Awards are presented to the members of this Board in recognition of the work they do. Officers receive gold pins on their election, boys serving for a period of one year receive a bronze pin, for two years' service, a silver pin, and for three years' membership, a gold pin is awarded. If a representative serves three consecutive years on the Board, he receives a silver key upon his graduation. Oceanside is the only school in Nassau County to have a separate board to govern all the sports of the school. The powers of the Athletic Board are controlled by the General Organization which also controls any financial problems that may confront them. Energetic, helpful, and doing a great service to the school are these boys. Although some of them may not return next year, they have already made plans for the fall sports program that will undoubtedly serve in the best interests of Oceanside High School. WE WANT A FRONT ROW, L• to R.-Daly, Geiger, Edw rdson, Anson, Gubelll, Sorensen, Sand; SECOND ROW: Horscraft, Furlong, Thoipson, Roberts. As the fall season came into view, Oceanside, with seven varsity men returning with last year's football laurels, held high the prospects for the new football season. Mr. Alan Chase and Mr. William Helmcke, the adept coaches of the Sailor charges, set about to the task of building around the veterans a well trained, hardy, and proficient team. After a few weeks of practice the varsity team was formed; these boys held their positions through the entire year and finished with a record of five games won, and two defeats. Bill Peel and Norval Anson were the centers, with Bill Mahler, Lrrry Gubelli, Bud Magee and Art Edwardson, at guard; at the tackle shots were Bill Gordon, Bob Derry, Marvin Geiger, and Sig Sorenson; completing the line at end were Bill Fay, Harry Schneider, Jack Sand, and Matt Daly. In the backfield were Charlie Kline, Bob Furlong, Ace Shapiro, Frank Roberts, Bob Rudkin. Duke Thompson, and Wilbur Horsecraft. All the boys performed with the spirit typical of an Ocean-side team. The highlights of the season were the Baldwin, Port Jervis and Long Beach games. In the opener with Baldwin our boys upset the experts by training our Blue and Gold rivals by20 to 0. This was the first time Oceanside has ever beaten Baldwin and it is hoped that it won't be the last. The Port Jervis game featured a brother act ; Coach Chase of Ocean-side was the rival of his brother Alvin, who coaches Port Jervis. The final score was 19 to 0 as the Siders did themselves proud by trampling the upstate team. Next year we will continue the rivalry by travelling to Fort Jervis. In the finale, Oceanside took a powerful and determined team down to meet Long Beach at their equally powerful opponents' field. The game was a tough one, but the well-trained Oceanside team took the lead and hung on, to win out by a 13-7 count. This victory was a double joy since it kept alive the Oceanside streak of never having bowed to Long Beach, and also it kept Long Beach from completing the season with an unbeaten record. In the other games Oceanside triumphed over Malverne 20-0, and Mepham 12-0. The only two defeats were inflicted by Sewanhaka by a score of 12 to 0, and by Valley Stream by a score of 21 to 0. At the annual football banquet Bill Peel was elected as honorary captain for the year. Charlie Kline and Bud Magee also received awards for their fine work throughout the season. Bill Peel was also selected on the record team of the All-Metropolitan team; while both he and Charlie Kline received all-county honors. Looking ahead, we should have an equally successful team next year, as there will be seven varsity men returning. They are Norval Anson, Larry Gubelli, Art Edwardson, Bob Derry, Jack Sand, Duke Thompson, Wilbur Horse-craft, and Matt Daly. With our capable coaches and the nucleus of a fine team, we should indeed find next year a victorious one. SINK IT! The 1941 42 Oceanside basketball team showed a definite improvement over last year when they took only five games. This year, however, our team won nine games while dropping seven. In the final game of the year Oceanside was beaten by Long Beach and so lost a berth in the sectional tournament. As is true of all sports, the basketball team had the always encouraging support of their loyal schoolmates. With only two weeks of practice the team started by upsetting our traditional rival, South Side by the tight score of 24 to 23. The next game was dropped to Cham-inade, by a score of 38 to 24. In the first league game the Sailors were nosed out by Woodmere 24 to22. The annual trip to Southampton saw our quintet rout the opposition 37 to 14. After Christmas vacation the team started off with a bang by beating Malverne 30 to 23 and then Mepham 37 to 28. In the final league game of the first half Oceanside bowed to East Rockaway 31 to 29. The next night, however, Baldwin was taken over by a score of 30 to 20. In the second half, South Side avenged its earlier defeat by trouncing our boys 45to31. The next game saw the Sailors turn back Long Beach 28 to 25. The second Woodmere game saw our ouintet stopped by a 35 to 21 count. Our quintet didn't give up, however, and they took the next two games with Mepham and Malverne, respectively This budding streak was interrupted when Freeport took the Sailors 38 to 24. In the next game with East Rockaway our boys hit their scoring high by romping over the Rocks 53 to 24 And then the big game with Long Beach; our boys had apparently shot their bolt the week before and were taken over 38 to 26. The team had no outstanding member, as each boy deserves as much credit as the next fellow. Frank Roberts was noted for his defensive ability; Bob Rudkin, for his spectacular one-handed shots; Ralph Anzalone, for his amazingly accurate set shots; Charley Aubert, for his ability in all fields; Larry Gubelli, for his ability in getting theball off the backboard; and Matt Daly, for his playing of the pivot position. We must not forget Charlie Kline (who left school during the season) for being a natural sparkplug at all times. The Oceanside second team fared rather poorly. Their only victims were Southampton, East Rockaway, and Mepham, whom they defeated twice. Despite this record many promising players were developed. The boys, who, coupled with Matt Daly and Larry Gubelli (the only returning veterans), will form the varsity are Frank Dunnigan, Mike Williams, Henry Williams, Gus Olsen, Bob Wist, Bob Sturms, Norman Kaplan, and Don Seagraves. We should not look for too much next year because of the lack of experience but you may be sure the team will show the well known Oceanside spirit. 69 FULL SPEED AHEAD FIRS 1 RO � L- toR.-Shippers, Richter.

This year Oceanside's varsity track team, coached by Mr. William Helmcke and boosted along by co-captains Harry Schneider and Hubert Krantz, started the season with almost half of its complement made up of experienced runners and field event men. In the annual Blue and Gold meet the Gold team, lead by Hu Krantz, defeated the Blue team. The squad, however, was closely divided between the co-captains, as Harry Schneider's Blues lost by only three points. Leading the team's list of stars is Harry Schneider, who has been steadily throwing the 12 lb. shot over a distance of 50 feet. Jerry Cummings and Philip Guenther have learned from Harry how to get the greatest distance out of their throws and have rapidly increased their proficiency with the shot. Another one of the Sailor stars this year was peter Richter, pole vaulter. Pete strove daily to increase the height of his vaults, which reached the vicinity of eleven feet. Two newcomers in this event were Faul Shippers and Jasper Carillo, who also took over the position of first string high jumper. Also back with last year's honors were four runners, William McFadden, miler, Leonard Barr, half miler, Hu Krantz and Bill Mack, quarter milers. These four composed the backbone of the Sider runners since the team lost all of its short sprinters this year. However, a very powerful group was built around John Reilly, 100 yard dash, Ralph Anzalone, 220 yard dash, and Joe Anderson, 22 � hurdles. This year the sauad was lucky to find three excellent broad jumpers in Ralph Anzalone, Ralph Combs and Wilbur Horsecraft. Undaunted by the loss of their first meet to Woodmere by a slim margin of two and two thirds points, the Oceanside trackmen, trained in sportsmanship and diligence, came back to f inish the season with a greater number of wins then loses. MASTERS AT THE RACQUET Almost the whole tennis team this year was made up of veterans with Fordyce Stone as the esteemed coach, and Robert Rachofsky as their most capable captain; and so a successful season for the team was foreseen. Losing the first match of the season to Lawrence seemed only to give them more determination to make a good showing, and they promptly administered a resounding defeat toFree-port in their second game of the season. Thenceforth they continued to make Ocean-side proud of their record in games with South Side, Malverne, Woodmere, Central, Lynbrook and Baldwin. prominent players on the team were Robert Rachofsky, first singles; Douglas Gallow, second singles; Carl Wierum, third singles. Albert Tenzer and Robert Zerrener played first doubles, and Anthony Sorrentino and Nicholas Caico played second doubles. GUNNER'S MATES The Oceanside High School Junior Rif le Club was organized by Dr. Walter S. Board-man, Superintendent of Schools, in 1935. Since that time the club has grown increasingly in size. Starting with approximately 15 members it now has about 55. The Rifle Clubwasat first coached by Dr. Boardman, who was assisted by Mr. Kizer. When Dr. Boardman took over his new duty of Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Kizer became coach. The Rifle Club hasvari-our pieces of equipment, including two Winchesters, model 75, and two Winchesters model 52, all chambered for a 22 calibre bullet. They own a Mosberg spotting scope and are now using a new sighting bar, which they hope will cause a boost in the club members scores. Club activities will continue as ammunition is available. — .IM1 standing: L. to R.-Calco, sorentin Rachofsky.

Schneider, Horjeraft, The 1941-1942 wrestling teams, coached by Alan Chase, won eight matches and lost four, which is a creditable record considering the rather small squad and tough competition. Oceanside started the season by easily defeating Baldwin, but then bowed to Bay Shore and Amityville in succession. Bouncing back to take the measure of Lynbrook, Great Neck, and Patchogue, the Sailor winning streak was broken by Valley Stream. Long Beach and Malverne were the next victims of the grapplers. Then Mepham, one of the best teams in the state, defeated our matmen. The season was finished off in flying style by the defeats of Hempstead and Farmingdale. The varsity matmen were Bob Evelly, Harvey Husser, Doug Gallow, Mike Orzano, Dick McDonald, JasperCarillo, William Pearsall, Wilbur Horscraft, Bud Magee, Bob Derry, and Harry Schneider. As usual Oceanside participated in the post season tournaments. In the Mepham Invitation Meet only Mike Orzano reached the semi-finals, but in the South Shore Tournament, five men, Orzano, McDonald, Evelly, Horscraft, and Schneider placed in the semi-finals, and Evelly went all the way to win the 103 lb. championship. At the close of the season Mr. Chase was presented with a rod and reelasa token of the team's appreciation. In a short speech afterward, Mr. Chase praised the entire team and expressed the hope that wrestling might receive better recognition in the future. 72 BOWLING THEM OVER This year the Oceanside varsity bowling team finished third in a league of eight schools from the South Shore. Out of a total of twenty-five games the Sailor keglers won eighteen and lost seven. The Junior Varsity team also placed third in the same league. They won 18 games out of the twenty which they played. The most outstanding bowler on the Sider team was Jerry Silverman, who consecutively bowled higher than 150. Other prominent keglers were Deane, Mott, Wylie, and Cliff Glier, who also bowled extremely high scores throughout the season. Those who bowled for the J.V. team were Bomer, Ward, Becker, West, Browne, and Johnson. Next year there will be a majority of this year's star keglers returning to bring Oceanside into a higher standing. FRONT ROW, L. to R.-Dean, J. SUveraan, Becker, Wylie: SECOND ROW: Wott, Bro� e, G.

Under the able leadership of Albert Kritzer, cocaptain of the team, the inexperienced newcomers were able towin only one match, that being against EastRock-away. Among the difficult teams opposing the Sailor paddlers were Lynbrook, South Side, Central, Long Beach, Lawrence and Malverne The most prominent players on the team were Albert Kritzer, first singles, Larry Wilson, second singles, and George Mott, third singles. Those who composed the doubles teams were Albert Hauser and John McCann, first doubles, and Louis Snell and Edward Bomer, second doubles. Next year there willbemany varsity men returning. LEFT to RIGHTHauser, Bomer, Davis, Snell, Chandler PLAY BALL! The prospects for a successful baseball season were bright, indeed, for Oceanside's Sailors at the entrance of this year's season. Under the able and enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Edward J. Flynn, the returning veterans led the few newcomers into a grand season. Oscar Terrell, this year's find, entered the Schoolboy Hall of Fame by pitching a no-hit, no-run game against Freeport early in the season. He has also done himself proud at third base. Al Hermann's one-hitter a-gainst East Rockaway brought him immediately into the limelight, where he stayed with continued good pitching. Another mound star was Duke Thompson, who handed Freeport a sour defeat at the beginning of the year. Duke spent most of his time at shortstop, however, where he not only held down his own position but kept the infield from going to pieces. Behind the plate, receiving from all these pitchers, the souad found an exceptionally excellent player in George Reiger. The problem of an infield was very acute this year and Mr. Flynn had to keep shifting the players a- PROMT ROW.

After his excursion to first base, Bill Peel, a veteran of proud standing in Oceanside baseball history, finally settled down tocov-er the position at second base. The Sailors found a proficient and hard hitting outfield in Charlie Aubert, Alfred Shapiro, and Larry Wilson, all veterans of last year's team. Aubert has made a startling comeback and surprised all outlookers with his exceptionally high batting and fielding average. Ace Shapiro was again a hardhitting ball-player, playing all-round good ball. Luke Wilson, transferred from the pitching staff to right field, tied his last year's excellent record of hitting and held Oceanside's only home run of the early season. Oceanside, with its good pitching staff, fine crop of hitters, potentially defensive playing, and the fine backing up given by the reserves, has had a record which should make all Sailors proud. TEN LAPS AROUND Coming up against a very tough schedule, the inexperienced Oceanside Cross Country team, co-captained by William McFadden and Lenoard Barr, was able to win none of its meets. The squad was made up of William McFadden, Lenoard Barr, both returning veterans of last year, Jack Daly and Edward Reilly. All of these runners earned their varsity letters by placing within the first five places in any one of the eight meets. Those who earned their Junior Varsity letters were Kenneth Bausch, Albert Bedell and Joe Anderson. Next year should find a more experienced team and a better season. FRONT ROW. L. to R.-McFadden.

Girls physical education in Oceanside has been capably guided through another year by our popular coach, Miss Ruth Lewis. For the past three years she has been aided by the equally well-liked Miss Isabella Oppel. Both are held in the highest esteem by every true 0. H. S. athelete, and we can think of nothing more fitting than to wish them many more years of successful athletic activity. This year the point system of the Long Island Girls Association was the basis of all after school activities, as it has been for the past few years. Margaret Biewald, Madelyne O'Toole, Jean Stireman, Anne Bishop, and Helen Henderson will receive gold keys, the highest award of the system, at a banquet to be held at Baldwin on June 4. Sixty-seven per cent of the girls in high school have participated in after school athletics this year. Oceanside is fortunate that it has been able to afford them the facilities to engage in hockey, archery, ping pong, volleyball, badminton, bowling, basketball, softball, and horseback riding. This fine variety of sports is offered in addition to the usual gymnasium class activities. La Crosse and speedball were featured for the second year in fall gym classes with the idea of creating interest in these sports, so that eventually they may be offered as after school athletics. In order to keep up with national plans for defense and fitness in the present crisis, Oceanside instituted physical fitness classes and held weekly physical training groups. Athletics are coming to be regarded more and more as one of the most important factors in the developement of a healthy, strong nation of progressive people; andO. H. S. has striven successfully to produce strong-bodied citizens, as has been demonstrated on our athletic fields. 76 THE BETTER HALF RULES The third annual Girls Week was held the week of April 27—May 1, with Miss Alice E. Kinkade, guidance counselor, acting as general chairman of the affair. She was assisted by a faculty committee of Miss Alice Lentzsch, Miss Ruth Lewis, Miss Elaine Rapp, and Miss Olga Johnson. The girls on the student committee were Betty Ann Quaritius, Feggy Turley, Marilyn Jacobs, HelenCuddihy, GettaAllen, Barbara Brownell, Joy Kearns, Joan Doerflinger, and Dorothy Morrison. A Mother and Daughter Tea for senior girls and their mothers started the week off on Monday afternoon. Songs and student entertainment were the features of the tea, at which Mrs. Boardman and Miss Pearson graciously poured. Modeling as a Profession was the topic of Miss Betty Lou Porterfield, a representative of the Barbizon School of Fashion, who spoke at the special girls assembly on Tuesday morning. A girls sport meet was held on Wednesday after school. Competition was arranged between two teams, the Peeps , captained by Anne Bishop, and the Jeeps , led by Maryanne MacAlister. The Peeps won the very humorous and exciting meet. Highlight of the event was the faculty-student basketball game, which the faculty won with honors. Special notice went to Miss Rapp, who proved to be an exceptionally accurate long distance shot. Miss Ann Wright, of the Simplicity and DuBarry Pattern Companies, presented a fashion show for the girls and their mothers on Thursday afternoon. Twenty-one girls modeled the various types of clothing which were shown. Irene Spanos, voted Queen of the May, was crowned at Girls Week Dance, which concluded the activities on Friday. Attendants for the queen were Gloria O'Donnell, Virginia Hamilton, Rita Cox, and Barbara Tucker. 77 CENTER BULLY! FRO NT ROW. L. to R.-Cox, Brownell, Brocket t. Ha unarm, Clark, Sehonln . Blenald; SECOND ROW: Henderson, O'Toole, Bishop, Wood. Lanzarone, Stroha, Wettach. Hockey was enjoyed last fall amidst an unusual amount of sun and dust. With seniors predominating its ranks, the honor team achieved a draw at the Adelphi play day, winning one game and tieing and losing the other two. Some fine individual hockey was played as was demonstrated by the fact that Anna Bishop and Joan Strohm made L. I.G.A. ratings. Interclass honors went to the ever victorious juniors. Girls on the hockey honor team are Dorothy Baumann, Barbara Brownell, Margaret Biewald, Anna Bishop, Lorraine Brockett, Rita Cox, Muriel Clark, Helen Henderson, Madelyne O'Toole, Yolanda Lanzarone, Peggy Shenning, Joan Strohm, Ann Wettach and Mary Wood. THE DEAD-EYE DICKS According to Miss Lewis, this year Oceanside enjoyed the best archery season yet. Two triangular meets with Lynbrook, South Side, and Baldwin, were held here. In both meets we placed second to Lynbrook, losing the latter by one point only. This year archers shot from a distance of thirty yards in contrast to the previous twenty yards, which was considered a step ahead in the field of archery for O.H.S. The fall saw thirty girls vying for archery honors under the managership of Joan Doerflinger and Virginia Hamilton. There are thirty-five on the field this spring. Elaine Rogers has, without doubt, earned the title of best archer with her consistantly good scores. Other outstanding archers are Anita Short, Gloria Marron, and Virginia Hamilton.

Because there were so many girls who signed upfor vollevball last fall, the class teams were subdivided into teams bearing the names of pies. In this unique competition the cherry pie team members, who were juniors, won the series of games. Cherry pie players are Gloria Boyd, Joan Cook, Edith Mary Doern, Marie Lemily, Jean Marie Mahon, Marjorie Rogers, Peggy Shenning, and Joan Strohm. The volleyball honor team made a good showing at the Mepham play day by winning four games and losing two. Those on the team are Anne Bishop, Madelyne O'Toole, Rita Cox, Helen Henderson, Shirley Holmgren, Evelyn Nothel, Betty Ann Quaritius, MaryWood, Helga Buss, Joan Cook, Peggy Shenning, Joan Strohm, and Yolanda Lanzarone. SWAT THE BIRD! Thirty-f ive girls enrolled for the fall session of badminton, and twenty five signed up this spring. Both seasons featured the usual play-offs to determine the top players. Flay-off tournaments were held under the supervision of Miss Cpell. The fall session of badminton was climaxed by the Malverne play day. The Oceanside team of Jewell Stireman, Shirley Holmgren and Edith Mary Doern came out victoriously in first place, after a particularly hard contest. Individual honors of the fall season went to Jewell Stireman, who wields a mighty racouet. Charlotte Bedell and Gloria Smith head the list of promising badmintoners for this spring, as Jewell Stireman and Shirley Holmgren are ineligible because they played last fall. This year proved again that basketball is one of the most popular sports at Oceanside. The juniors won the interclass play-offs and a number of them made the honor team. There is every promise of a really fine honor team next year. In interschool competition the juniors made a very good record by winning all four games while the freshmen won three games and tied the fourth. Unfortunately both the sophomore and senior teams failed to win any of their encounters. The honor team, captained by Anne Bishop, won two games and lost two at the Lynbrook play day. Members of the team are Anne Bishop, Madelyne O'Toole, Peggy Shenning, Joan Cook, Yolanda Lanzarone, Betty Ann Quaritius, Marianne MacAlister, Helen Henderson, Gloria Boyd, Margaret Obadashion, Edith Mary Doern and Audrey Forsberg. PRETTY PADDLERS The half a hundred girls who met in the bicycle room twice a week topursue the elusive ping pong balls worked together well in their tournaments under the able supervision of Miss Oppel. Each girl played every other player to determine the left to RIGHT-P. Jones, Stlreasn, Fountain. Stalker, tournament winners and the members of the team. Members of the ping pong team are Jean Stire-man, Jewell St ireman, Fat Jones, Mary Stalker, and Audrey Fountain Of the fifty girls who signed up for ping pong in the fall and the fifty-two who played this winter, the Stireman sisters were easily the top ranking players. We lost an outstanding ping pong artist when Jean graduated in January, but her younger sister, Jewell, is doing a remarkable job in succeeding her as champion of a group of wide-awake players. Jean finished up her career in a blaze of g lory by winning in the Malverne play day. 80 During the two years that bowling has been an O.H.S. activity, it has risen in popularity until it is now considered a top ranking sport. As over sixty girls went out for it, Mrs. Mosback took charge of one group. This past season was the most successful yet, and interest is rapidly increasing. The team placed first, second, and third in the three play days it entered. In two different matches, after suitable handicaps had been arranged, the girls team beat the boys team in hotly contested games, much to the chagrin of the boys and the pleasure of the girls. Those who made up the team this winter are Elsa Fritz Doris Grohs, Ruth Cummings, Maxine Cocks, Jean Conrade and Joan Weiss. OUR CAVALRY Not daunted even by the winter snows, a fun-loving, faithful group of seven or eight equestriennes rode during all but the worst weather this year. A little rain never bothered anyone, and cold weather just makes the horses frisky, is the girls motto. Altogether twenty different girls have ridden at one season or another under the watchful eye of Walter , the riding master of the Mayfair Stables. Among those who ride frequently are Gloria Ames, Barbara Brownell, Virginia Hamilton, Marion Metcalf, Gladys Metz, Dorothy Morrison, JillStauf, Edith Andaas, Doris Conklin, Velma Traynor, June Bidwell, Angela Muir, Jean Cdenwald, Joan Weis, and Ruth DeBevoise. Every Friday afternoon the girls journey to Hempstead in the well-known station wagon and enjoy trotting and cantering in the state park. 81 LEFT to RIGHT-HooToner, Cherkos, M loy, DoBevolso.

They entered two meets, and while the scores were not so impressive, valuable experience was gained in tournament playing. Considering that sophomores were allowed to play last fall. Miss Lewis has reason to believe that in a year or two a really fine team will come to light. The best player this year is Jean Stireman, who placed in the semi-finals at the Baldwin tournament. Others on the team are Evelyn Nothel, Rose Catalanotto, and Joan Cook. HOME RUN QUEENS As the yearbook goes to press early in May, there is no opportunity to list the softball honor team, but there are a number of promising players who are outstanding enough to be mentioned. Among these are Anne Bishop, Maryanne MacAlister, Evelyn Nothel, Betty Ann Quaritius, Gloria Boyd, Joan Cook, and Peggy Schenning. In the field of interclass competition the rivalry stood between the freshmen and the juniors. The seniors were eliminated early in the season by a particularly disastrous defeat at the hands of the freshmen, who for the first time have threatened to win the interclass games or place members on the honor team. - - CHEER THE WAY TO VICTORY! Are you ready, gang? Let's go! This is the way the girls encourage a large group of Sailor sport enthusiasts to cheer with all the vocal spray imaginable at our football and basketball games. At the beginning of the football season the cheerleaders of 0. H. S. under the leadership of the petite Maryanne MacAlister started out on a new year of leading Oceanside's fans in cheering our teams to victory. And that's just what they did in many incidents! The Siderette cheerleaders this year have been active not only in action on the field, but also in helping to buy their own uniforms. To raise money for new basketball uniforms they sold cake and coffee during the halves of all the home football games this fall. And to conclude their big season they held a mammoth cake sale to further aid them financially. . -_____, With the proceeds from all this, they bought white sailor-like uniforms that were right in keeping with the Oceanside Sailors , and pepped up both the great team and the spectators at all the winter basketball games by getting out on the floor and giving their all. Captained by Maryanne, these exuberant and cheering Pepsters include: Marion Schweitzer, Jean Marie Mahon, Barbara Tucker, Peggy Turley and Muriel Clark. Six in all, and they certainly make up their number in volume! Usually at the end of the busy cage season the cheerleaders hang up their uniforms and begin to lead normal lives until the next fall, but not these enterprosing young Sailorettes. They set about the task of training a Junior Varsity Cheerleadiug squad, and that meant more hours of jumping around and straining their tonsils so that there will be a well trained group to take over when the present squad graduates in 1D13. After weeks of preparation and hard practice, the J.V. squad was chosen and now we have Helen Lucas, Ann Turley, Dot Meehan, Gloria Grohs, June Olsen, and Irene Brooker ready to take over after the efficient and well-liked team leaves.

By unanimous vote, especially those of the custodians, this image of the well-known and well-liked former president, Theodore Roosevelt, was given the title of most loved. Everyday, the face of this bust has been cleaned of the many various brands of lip rouge imprinted upon it. And from the marks on it one would say that the reds are the favorites . At the moment this shot was taken the image of Teddy was clear of all telltale markings, but lo and behold, no sooner denied than a fair one s lips are plopped on the nose! Another kiss for Teddy!

Both you and the bank cannot do the same thing at the same time. But If you use part of your salary or wages to buy bonds, that money has already come out of the bank In the regular course of business. Nothing Is disturbed In a financial way. if youbuy bonds or stamps with some of your wages, you turn back part of your Income into Government channels. That will help In the war effort. Buying out of past savings helps only In part. Moreover, you will help prevent Inflation (which is merely a rise In prices) because you cannot spend what you thus save and you thereby lessen the pressure upon the supply of goods. Buy_thlngs you actually need and as you need them. Do not hoard money or goods. This Fs sensible advice. Member Federal Reserve System Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

(Reprint from THE SI DR R PRESS, October 2, 1 9 4 1 ) Billy, one of Oceanside's most honored and adored citizens, entered into goat heaven last week, leaving behind an admiring public that never failed to provide him with all the carrots he wanted. Billy has been the Ocean-side mascot since 1937. Owned by Jack McCumisky, an alumnus of the school, this fat, white goat dressed in his blue blank, et costume was a familiar sight at all the football games. Although he was only six, Billy had lived a happy, full life and left his mark in the world he knew. Billy's death, Just before our first game of the season, left OHS without a mascot, but Marco”, a 160 pound bull mastiff has been chosen to take his place. A tan, short-haired dog who stands about three feet from the ground, three-year-old Marco belongs to Larry Wilson, OH senior. Marco is already well acquainted with the football team, and, at their request, accompanied them to the Freeport scrimmage. Mr . Flynn, Mr . Chase and the team feel sure that Marco will be a fitting mascot for OHS. We will all mourn for Billy. To him, wherever he may be, we wish all the carrots and happiness in goat heaven. To Marco, whomakes his initial debut in Oceanside's blue at the Se-wanhaka game, good luck! We'll be cheering for you! Rockville Centre 4190 THE EXCLUSIVE GIFT SHOPPE Win. S. Ring.
