- Published by the students OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Oceanside, New York GRACE GLUECK........Editor-in-Chief JEAN CONRADE.......Assistant Editor JANE PHILLIPS.......Managing Editor JUNE ALLEN...............Art Editor ♦ In the following pages we portray the ties which link our school to our community. Through such agencies as the Night School, the Parent-Teacher As sociation, theYouth Center, civic associations, our churches and other organizations, we hope to realize our ultimate aim of making the school a necessary and valuable part of the community; a place where ideas and ideals may be exchanged, where ins truetion and interests may be developed. We want the people of our community to realize that the school plays an integral part in their lives. We, the future citizens of Oceanside, are dreaming of an enterprising community in which to fulfill our hopes. We envision an even closer tie between the school system and the community. We believe that a changing world requires this growing spirit of cooperation and understanding. To the future of Oceanside, we dedicate the 1944 Spindrift. 5 THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education has been described as ‘the link between the State Legislature and the people of the community . This is an excellent description, for the Board interprets State rulings and applies them to OHS. At the monthly meetings such matters as the annual school budget, community projects involving school cooperation, new courses tobe introduced into the curriculum, cases in which the welfare of the student are involved, are the chief topics of discussion. This year, the Board has concerned itself with postwar plans for Oceanside High School, and has taken an extremely active interest in the new Oceanside Youth Center, the ‘Club Zanzibar , making it possible,thru the generous aid of its members, for the youth of Oceanside to carry on such a project. The men who serve on theBoard have been recognized by their community as its most outstanding members, and have proved their worth in handling the affairs of the school capably and well. The members are Thomas C. Fet hers ton, president, Henry L. Hoffman, treasurer, Andrew R.Fritz, William H.Syrett, Charles H. Goldie, and Andrew S. Southard. Dr. Walter S. Boardman. superintendent of Oceanside Schools, acts as executive officer for the school board. In this capacity, he carries out ably and efficiently the plans conceived by the Board for the functioning of the Oceanside School system. Lt .Charles R.Mosback. former principal of CHS. and now on active duty as a Lt. (jg) with theU. S. Navy, writes: 'it is theduty of every student who is able to complete his high-school education. The world of tomorrow will need the intelligent, broad minds of these people to help plan for the peace . In the absence of Lt.Mosback, Miss Alice E.Kinkade has become our Acting Principal. At the beginning of the year. Miss Kinkade announced her desire to see Oceanside High School the best in the state. Towards this end. she is progressing admirably. We have received enthusiastic support from Miss Kinkade in our athletic programand in various class and club projects . Miss Eunice Pearson, assistant principal, alsoserves as school librarian and as advisor to the General Organization. Miss Pearson has givenmany years of efficient and tireless service toOceanside High School. porwas£ ADMINISTRATION OUT OF THE FRYING PAN The ranks of men have been diminishing so steadily this year . what with the Armed Forces and other things that the girls began speculat ing morbidly on the dread possibility of an all-girl graduation. However, we kept stiff upper lips and sailed along nicely with Bill Campbell as President; Bill Syrett, Vice-President; Louis Snell. Secretary-Treasurer; and Ann Turley, Senior G. 0. Councilman; keeping firm hands at the helm. We found ourselves. toward our last lap. gazing reminiscently around the cafeteria, listening intently to Mrs.Short reading the order of the day, sentimentally fingering the wads of gum under our seats, saying 'Remember the time when---?' thinking in teims of our last basketball game, our last Sport Nite, our last Sider Press, running into Miss Sherwood's office for advice on our ‘careers', and being astonishingly polite to each other. We proudly sported Senior rings and keys. Honor Society pins. Thespian pins. Athletic keys. We lugged around Regent's Review books, and, towards June, we really pored over them. After much debate as to time, place and theme, we held our last Prom, in May. Everybody had a swell time, but we couldn't help wondering, audibly. ‘Where will we be at this time next year? Merrily we roll along 11 BENJAMIN ABRAMS Does Mutt and Jeff act with Clint Draper--perpetual grin ---intellectual--likes girls and sports---hopes to become pilot in the Army Air Corps.

Mr. Hench Pat and Grace, our editors Faculty of Sailor Publications Quill and Scroll Shortly after the ’Spindrift' came into being, taking its place alongside its sister publication, the ’Sider Press , it was decided to combine the two into a smooth-running, efficient organization, to be known as ‘Sailor Publications'. The publications were to have two separate editorial staffs, but the Business Staff, composed of advertising and circulation departments, was to serve the interests of both. Under the guidance of its adviser, Lee 0. Hench, the plan developed rapidly, and has since blossomed intoa healthy, well nourished system. Those faithful ‘Dorothy Thompsons and ‘John Kierans’ who have served on one or more Sailor Publicat ions staffs for two years are awarded gold pins. while those with one year of news and wool-gathering to their credit receive silver pins . For especially outstanding and distinguished service, a member may be nominated by the advisers to the Sigma Phi Chapter of the International Quill and Scroll honorary journalistic society. 33 We started out very early this year, figuring to go places and dothings on a grand scale. We had special Committee Meetings on photography, style and layout of the book, got our faculty advisers and staff lined up, then devoted our time toLiterary Meetings, where we sat with our feet on desks and Aired Our Views on Things. We soon found that we really had toget busy. Our tremendously Idealistic Plans narrowed down to Realism--and we got the Senior pictures taken; spent hours composing fruity little Senior biographies (we had no trouble with these until we tried to describe Dan Ebly's hair), and dashed madly about insearch of persons and places to take pictures. At the flew York University Press Convention, we had a wonderful t ime, although Grace (our editor) insisted on us having our pictures taken on the ramp of a Washington Square bus. We posed cutely. but alas! the bus drove offwithus just as Mr. Pieper clicked his shutter! At the Seminar on Yearbook Writing, we took notes diligently, onlytofind. upon reaching home. that gyr problems were entirely dif ferent! Our days became nightmares of blue pencil and rubber cement. We nagged Bernie for copy, Ann for baby pictures, June for sketches. Our biggest crisis came when our Editor-in-Chief was stricken with mumps| We carried on courageously. and managed, through it all, to get quite a bit of work done, however. When The Spindrift goes to press, we know we're going to wander about with vacant expressions on our faces, feelingcompletely lost with nothing more to do! 34 WE PUT IT OVER The business department of Sailor Publications includes thecombined circulation and advertising staf fs. It relieves the Sider Press and the Spindrift of all worries about the financial end of their publications. The circulation department is made up of the salespeople of both the Sider press and Spindrift. In former years it has been the task of the circulation department to sell annual and semi-annual subscriptions at the beginning of each term. This system was abolished this year, but thedepartment still had the job of selling the paper everyThursday morning, counting money and keeping a record of theamount of sales. In taking Spindrift orders, tiny circulation manager Isobel Shapiro lugged around a huge ledger almost twice her size. Everyday she kept the yearbook staff informed of how many subscriptions her staff had sold, making them feel cheerful or depressed, according to The circulation staff Ad salesmen her statistics. To help Isobel and her crowd along, the yearbook gave an assembly which made the rest of the school realize what a wonderful yearbook they were going to have. The assembly was under the direction of Mr. Pearson. The advertising staff isdivided into two sections, the Sider Press division and the yearbook division. The Sider Press advertising staff, under the gentle urging of Joan Lieberthal, worked on their store-owning families and friends until they had sold almost $350 worth of ads. These ads come in all year, as they are needed. Dorothea Dashefsky is the manager of the Spindrift advertising staff. They did exceptionally well this year, selling twenty pages of ads. Two of the high salesmen are A1 Levin (see picture below) and Ruth Shrepfer, who can tell you many and humerous incidents about her experiences as saleswoman. With the help of their faculty advisers. Mr. Loveland and Miss Sullivan, the business staff outdid themselves this year. A1 Levin sells his father a tough proposition 35 36 THE SIDER FROM THE EOITORfS DESK M MAIL ale has been FROM THE EXCHANGE such as our Youth Center In oceen- for ncw ero Is 10 and for out- THB JACJ6CW JQCRNAL’1 THB MIHRCRu-PAIKKBTON, PA. thi Fourth war Loan Drlvs th?

We felt pretty good all year because we received the International First Place Award of the Quill and Scroll Society for the manner in which our little sheet ‘served to inform, inf luence and entertain the students . Later on in the year, we placed 'First Class-Excellent inacontest sponsored by the National Scholastic Pres Association. Naturally we felt that the standards of the ’Sider Press’ were being well preserved! At the end of March we bundled off to the Columbia Press Convention where we won the medalist award, the highest honor given to a high school newspaper. ion Dior Wls- £21110- 1 rood.

It is compose of four officers: President. Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, who this year were Albert Hauser .Robert Sturm, Jean Conrade, andDouglas Allen, respectively; and three class representatives; namely, Ann Turley for the Seniors. Louise Cusano for the Juniors, with Fred Abel representing the Sophomores . This Council, as it is called, meets once every week. The above named people along with a representative from each homeroom meet once a month. Problems confronting the school and itsaffiliated organizations are discussed and ironed out. Some of the major activities which theGeneral Organ- ization has undertaken this year include the provision of stamps to the Sider Press to mail copies to CHS servicemen, the establishment of a guest book torecord OB visitors and alumni, and theappropr iat ion of money to be used for school publicity. On the entertainment side, the G. 0. purchased ten new records at the beginning of the year and four new ones each succeeding month for school use. presented both the Lowell Patton assembly and a featured magician, and regulated all prices of tickets to events held in the school. A sound booster of our Athletic Program, the G. 0. bought those cute new cheerleading outfits, handled the finances of all athletic contests held at OKS in which we participated, and paid for the purchase and upkeep of all athletic supplies. It is easily seen, from this impressive list of accomplishments, that the General Organization is a vital factor in the success of our organizations, and is equally important to the welfare of the student body as a whole. POLICYMAKERS ORCHESTRA We had fun this year, putting stress on patriotic music and musical comedy. Our first public appearance was at the Senior Play, where we played before and between the scenes. ‘The Hit Parade and several marches were on our program. At theChristmas entertainment we thrilled the school with our Christmas Fantasy . We played so well and Miss Hess worked so hard that we all chipped in and gave her a Christmas present. We appeared again the night of the Masque Society play, playing ‘The Student Prince’, the ‘Didon Overture , and two marches. May 6th. we went formal at our spring concert. The boys even wore neckties! Among our selections was 'A Connecticut Yankee , from the play popular on Broadway this year. As specialties, we had piano and flute solos rendered by Felice Takakjian and Jane Phillips. Something which we can't keep to ourselves happened when the State Music Supervisor came from Albany to visit. He liked our work so much that he gave us four times as much credit. Previously, we have received one fourth credit, but hence f or th we are to have one whole credit per year! Considering the fun we've had and our enthusiastic audiences, we think it's been one of our best years. Our officers 40 Blow, Gabriel, blow! Bet they wish they had their coats on! Of f icers GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Miss Pauline E. Hess, and with such prominent Glee Clubbers as Felice Takakjian, Shirley Story. Adrienne Bell. Dorothy Coffey, and Anita Higgins act ing as President .Secretary. Librarian and Assistant Secretary, respectively, how could we help but have a wonderful year, musically speaking? Every Tuesday morning we staggered into practice sessions at an unheard-of hour, brushed the cobwebs from our eyes, and sang. We didn't forget our limbering-up exercises . either, even though we had to do such seemingly inane things as bending over and touching our toes while holding a high note! Some of us felt that we would like to do extra work, so we organized into a group led by Mr. Stanley Douglas. Calling ourselves 'The Douglas Choristers , we sang at assemblies. You could have heard a pin drop while we were singing one of our most beautiful hymns, The Lord s prayer . At the ‘Christmas Around the World’program, we helped the Masque Society by singing a carol fromeach country as they acted out pantomimes. Our plans for the traditional Music Festival, held in May. included a solo to be sung by Marie Clark, a rendition by our Trio, composed of Velma Traynor. Kay McCabe, and Wanda Sullivan. We are learning Ave Maria', and 'He Met Her on theStairs . which we hope to be able to sing perfectly on the Big Night. Next year. Miss Hess intends toget gowns for us. so we'll feel very impressive almost as good as Fred War ing's Glee Club. ► X X BAND With Mr. Stanley Douglas as our new band director, we really progressed this year. On February 18th we played at the championship basketball game between the Army Air Corps and the Coast Guard. The game took place inRoc kef el ler Plaza at Radio City. We received this engacpment in competition with two other high schools. Oir program was ‘Semper Ftaratus.' 'Our Director. ‘Army Air Corps, and the ‘Victory Polka . We were out on the football field as usual during the football season, marching and playing for O.H.S. Sometimes the wind was so strong that it carried the sounds we made away, but we kept on blowing anyway. Some of you probably remember the day someone went marching right on down the field playing his instrument. while we were doing a ‘column right . Prominent among us were the Rover boys, more commonly known as Harry Anson and Roger Ftatterson. All year they were constantly at odds with each other. Our appearance at Radio City took the place of our annual concert and we spent the winter practicing such numbers as ‘Brazil and 'Begin the Beguine . In May we blossomed out again at the Memorial Day parade, marching through the town at the head of the procession. Gosh! They're all in step! 43 began our year withchuckles of glee at the induction of twenty-four new members through our hallowed portals. While they went thru the familiar initiation routine of kneeling and 'praising Allah before stern, hard-bitten, veteran Masquers like ourselves. we were busy making plans for future assemblies and plays. We had fun listening to those of our group who had ventured out into the hard, cruel world, only to come back and regale us with their experiences. Ten of our members, outstanding for their acting ability and capacity forbackstage work, were inducted intoTroupe 132 of theNation-al Thespian Society. They included: Mollie Dempsey Shirley Sim- mons. Bill Hoffman, Joan Lieberthal, Grace Glueck. Everett Anderson. Gordon Qsterheld. June Sc hrae ling. Albert Kritzer and Dorothy Coffey. At Christmas time, together with theGirls Glee Club. the orchestra and the band, we presented ’Christmas Around the World. in which we told of Christmas in many lands. After much discussion and research, we decided to present ’Letters to Lucerne’ byFritz Rotter and Allan Vincent, as our big performance of the year. We rehearsed like mad things, and Miss Weaver practically got laryngitis, but we put it over to much applause. We knew we would because we had the many and varied talents of June Schmeling, Shirley Simmons. Barbara Tomlines, Miriam Isaac. Cecil Biot. Doris Kessel, Jo Fleming, Mollie Dempsey, June Duke-shire.Richard Furlongand Al Kritzer. Our annual pilgrimage to New York was made, this time toview 'Oklahoma and ’Harriet . Oh. yes, our officers this year were Bill Hof fman.president; Shirley Simmons,vice-president;Mollie Dempsey. secretary; Everett Anderson, treasurer;Joan Lieberthal.recorder; Albert Kritzer.sergeant-at-arms;and Dorothy Coffey, historian. A tense moment from ‘The Fighting Littles Masque offioers 45 HONOR SOCIETY We started out with nine members, namely: Emily MaryGoodwin. Pat Maher, Bill Syrett, Robert Sturm, Jane Phillips, Jean Conrade, Bill Hoffman, Felice Takakjian, and Bill Campbell. These members were all elected as juniors. We tried to uphold the Honor Society ideals of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Meetings were held at odd and varied times since they had to be sandwiched in between different lunch hours and activities. One meeting took place in the cafeteria while some of us were eating our lunches . This year our new members were not elected or inducted until June. Only Seniors were chosen, which means that next year there will be no active Honor Society in school. 46 cards to servicemen The soldiers get all this in their Christinas stockings SERVICE CLUB We feel that we've really lived up to our name this year. With Miss Raynor as our advisor and Felice Ta-kakjian as our president. we've accomplished evenmore than we'd hoped . Our year started out with the Red Cross enrollment drive, whichbrought excellent results. Next we filled Thanksgiving baskets. At Christinas tiroe we sent cards to all alumni in the service, filled Christmas socks for the war veterans, made tray covers for the Army and menu covers for theNavy, and distributed Christmas card booklets. In the spring we made Easter favors for theChildren's Shelter inMineola and sold poppies for the American Legion. All through the year we cooperated with the shop and home economics classes in making such things as folding tables, utility bags, and tray covers. Miss Johnson's class made bed socks and bed jackets. Oh Novenber 5th we had our fall barn dance. Tom Watts' band did the honors and Tater Noon called the dances. The Siders turned out in full force to this dance and had a grand time. The joke of the night was little Bobby White , freshman, who went to the marriage booth with at least ten senior girls. W? had another Barn Dance on March 24th, which was just as successful as the first. Mollie Dempsey sang in ter lyrical ’Joan Roberts’ voice and Edmund Tester gave a five minute vaudeville. 4 MATH CLUB People usually think of us as the model students of the school, but the theory was disproved this year by the fact that many of our members could not attend the meetings because their presence was requested in detention hall after school. However, these nerabers made their appearance at our picnic in June and at our annual banquet. With Joan Lieberthal as our president. we gained new prestige by giving an assembly which featured, among other things, Mr. Levin's Ill-Will Hour. (Brains) plus (16) plus (Miss Rapp) equals “HE MATH CLUB They say women are the best talkers - where do Doug and A1 come in? FORUM CLUB With Miss Clark as our advisor and Felice Takakjian as our president, we set out this year to plan the postwar world. InNovember we piled into a taxi and went to Sewanhaka High School to air our views on the subject. In the spring we made other trips to Mineola and Chaminade. We'll never forget the day when Douglas Allen, with his mind always on the dear old South, got his topics mixed at theSewanhaka forum and expounded on the injustices of the Civil War. Talk about embarrassing moments. RECEPTIONISTS Each year a fewchosen, bright-eyed young people are taken out of the study halls one period a day and asked to occupy a small seat in the hall. These honored few are called student receptionists. Their name implies that their duties are to guide and direct visitors. Also, the receptionists make themselves useful running errands, picking up papers, and closing lockers. To the right is Bernie Weisman, hopefully waiting for a visitor. No wonder no one ever visit mrI GUIDANCE ’What am I going to do when I graduate?’ This is a question which every high school student asks himself. Oceanside has the answer to this all-important question in the Guidance Department. headed by Miss Eleanor Sherwood. Tor many,’ saysMiss Sherwood, 'there is at least a temporary solution--the Armed Services. The others must take up the slack in the industrial and professional worlds. In any modern school system, the Guidance Department must play an important part in helping young men and women prepare for the special tests, courses and training which they will soon undergo. Jobs and careers are becoming more specialized and require more preparation. New industries have sprung up. and we have begun to realize that individuals must, insofar as possible, be suited to the needs and requirements of their jobs. No longer do we shun ’overalls’ jobs in favor of desks or ’white collar’positions, forwesee that the former. also, now require a high degree of skill and technical knowledge. The aim of the Oceanside High School Guidance Department is to suit the talents and vocational interests of the individual to the job ahead. A realistic guidance program, therefore, is planned and followed withan eye tothe student’s attitudes and aptitudes, and with consultation of both parents . With the aid of Miss Sherwood’s competent instruction and vocational advice, the prospective graduate will easily adapt himself to his position in the Armed Services as well as in later life. Miss Sherwood's collection -------------r • The bulletin board ’Let's talk about your careers’ 'Madame Sennet t and 'pierre Gaddy conduct an experiment in fermentation Physics lab--transferring theory to practice 50 ON THE PRACTICAL SIDE Aptitude subjects at Oceanside can be practically applied in every day life. The course in radio, as taught by Mr. Kirke E. Davis, is applied trig.algebra, physics.chemistry, English, and common horse sense. It is one of the most valuable subjects in the school because of its application of the other subjects taught. The other four science courses offered are physics, chemistry.biology, and junior aviation. These courses follow the established curriculum required by the state and are taught by Mr. Davis, Mr. Padgett, Mr. Sayre, and Mr. Pearson, respectively. The home management course, taught by Miss Olga Johnson, offers practical training forgirls inmeal planning. child care, and needlework. Another practical course, offered by Miss Sanger, is that of mechanical drawing, which is the language of all construction. Through training in mechanical drawing, a student learns the essentials of constructing and of working any machine. Directly it will teach him precision and orderliness of work. The work given in the shop course, taught by Mr. Cooper, gives the student practical training both for home and war work application. Among other things, it teaches him blue-print reading and the running of such machines as the lathe, the sharpers, and different precision instruments. These subjects are one way in which Oceanside prepares her students for the future. Mechanical drawing class--the boys attack a scale model construction The girls tend to their knitting 51 PREPARING FOR THE BUSINESS WORLD 'Above All, Be Accurate! In the commercial department of Oceanside High School, the emphasis is placed on accuracy. Basic training begins, in most cases, with typing and shorthand classes. Typing, a one-year course, is given to sophomores. Shorthand is a two year course, beginning in the junior year. In the senior year, the two are combined to form the Secretarial Practice Class. Here, the student is trained to work under conditions existing in a typical office, with assignments approximating those of an average stenographer or secretary. During the year, each student served a week's apprenticeship intheoffice, and many assisted Miss Sherwood in the guidance office, learning the technique of filing. Additional classes intended to prepare the student for later life as a member of the business world include business arithmetic, bookkeeping, and business law. For those interested inselling. OHShasa course labeled 'Retail Selling' which instructs the student in business methods and transactions and then permits him to obtain a job while in the class. The students are paid for their work and receive school credit for work hours. Industry is insisting that employees be accurate! It is demanding that they have some background to fit them for the things which they can learn by experience only. The Commercial Department of Oceanside High School lays the foundation of business experience and prepares students to obtain good jobs in whatever field they may choose.

We were really synchronized this year, and we should have been, forwespent most of our afternoons practicing. EvenCoach Flynn said we practiced as hard as the boys. With our new system, whereby we cheered at Varsity games and the J. V. Cheerleaders carried on at Junior Varsity games, we assured ourselves that next year we would have just as good a squad to take over. To buy our uniforms we held a cake sale, and all the kids sampled our baking. They're still here to tell the tale, so it must have been good. A funny thing happened to us during practice one day. We were in one of the most difficult parts of our routine, when the basketball team came out draped in towels. They did a little jig for us, then dropped the towels--and there they stood, in full basketball regalia! We surprised everyone at our first basketball game when we appeared in brand new white sailor uniforms which we made ourselves. The J. V.'s managed to shine too, in their blue and white jerkins. In case you ever forget our last names, we are; Helen Lucas, captain; Ginny Grace. HelenGrahara. Gloria Grohs. Ann Turley. Pat Lucas and Dot Meehan. j. V. Glamour Girls Football Schedule THE TEAM We didn't have to bring our blankets and thermos bottles to the games until way into the season, this year, for the weather was the kind that fills sports coPy with such adjectives as ’brisk and ’invigorating . A capacity crowd, ’invigorated’ by the’brisk’ air. turned out to view our opener with Lynbrook. We were using our new ’T’ formation for the first time, and it must have been pretty effective, because we trounced Lynbrook. 13-6. Spurred on by this successful start, our team journeyed to Malverne. where we managed todefeat our opponents by one point. We were a little bit ashamed of this, because we had todepend mostly on Ernie Van-deweghe's place kicking, which came in mighty handy. By this time the members of the squad were; Van-deweghe and Hoelzer in end posit ions, Bedell and Ger-des; guards, Genthner and Miranuck as tackles, and Herb Swanson in the center. Backfield boasted Bob Wendell running quarterback, Angelo Varrichio and Artie Wright at halfback positions, and Gil Ousterman filling the fullback slot. We tasted thebitter dregs of defeat one bright Saturday afternoon, whenweplayed host toSewanhaka. We put up a good fight, but they managed to eke out a 6-0 victory. At the Mepham game, we felt really sorry for ourselves, for we were beaten again. We took comfort, though, from the thought that we had played a hard game. Next on our list was Baldwin. Lots of people wondered audibly if we could defeat a team composed of so many returning veterans, but we slugged it out through a terrific battle, and with Bob Wendell and Cal Ousterman scoring for our side, along with Van-deweghe's expert kicking in the clutches, we proudly came through with a 14-14 tie. we just couldn't turn down Poughkeepsie's challenge, although they were not on our schedule. Our team packed up the equipment and set off for Poughkeepsie by train, unof f icially accompanied by t he cheer leaders . Even though many Oceanside rooters were absent, with the aid of Angie Varrichio's two touchdowns we romped right over the Poughkeepsie eleven. At long last, THE SATURDAY of the year rolled around , and we raced off to Long Beach full of high spirits and.rarin togo. The freezing wind from thebay made our spectators shiver and blow on their fingers, but we floored our traditional rivals tothe tune of 13-0-Bill Pless scored his first touchdown with a 25 yd. run! Chaminade rounded out our season, and we climaxed it witha runaway of 20-0- This was thegame in which ’Veronica Ousterman hit the line hard many times to score. Hats off to: The boys who made the All Scholastic Team of Nassau County--Pal Vandeweghe (highest scoring end in Nassau), Phil Genthner (tackle) andCal Ousterman (honorable mention).

' Dribble With the loss of Matt Daly and Larry Gubelli, two of the stellar performers of thel943 basketball aggregation, not much hope was extended to our basketball squad for this year. Our team, which was built around big Bill Pless, our 6 4 center and the set shot artists including Art Wright. Don Seagraves. Ernie Van-deweghe, and Gus ‘jolly Olsen, saw that what it lacked in veterans, it would have to make up in playing skill. With the balance of thesquad, none ly Phil Shapiro. Harold Morine. Cal Ousterman. Marty May, Bernie Weisman and Frank Dunigan. we set to work to oust all comers. 'fk proved to be powerful enough when we soundly beat Mineola 50-15 in the season's opening game. It was then that Coach Ed Flynn realized that he had a club that could lick the best of 'em. Our '43-44 schedule was one of the toughest in tie- history of O.H.S., but we knew how to handle them. We sailors are now in undisputed possession of first place in tie Class B League of the South Shore Athletic League. Pardon us if our chests are rather inflated. We feel that we've earned the right to rest on our laurels. 58 --and it's in! OCEANSIDE HIGH SCHOOL Oceanside, N. Y.

Manager TRACK-CROSS COUNTRY Cod in' around the bend Out in the sticks Herbie falls behind With A1 Bedell as coach and George Mott pacing us. we had the most successful season since track and cross-country were started in Oceanside back in 1940 We met most of the major schools on Long Island. Among our victims wereSouth Side, GardenCity, Westbury. Freeport, Central. and Kings Park. We were defeated only by three schools. Mepham. Sewanhaka. and Malverne. In the Long Island Tournament which decides the championship, our team placed fourth. George Mott led the Oceanside runners by placing third in the race. Five men earned their varsity letters. They were Harold Morine. Hartley Mayr. Herb Gerdes. George Mott, and Al Bedell. Those who earned their J.V. letters are Jimmy Yeransian. Paul Cadicamo. Mahlon Brower. Billy Smith. Johnny Jenkins and Ken Pfiffer. Above you see us running out on the flats of Oceanside, for which we havedeveloped a great fondness. Besides making a name for Oceanside inthetrack and cross-country field, we feel that we have accomplished a running knowledge of the topography of Oceanside, the building of much-to-be -admired physiques, and the development of a respiratory system that will carry us safe thru about ninety years of living. 0 1 Baseball season started on Friday. March 24th. We all ran out on the field that af ternoon wearing a queer conglomeration of clothing which was part football, part basketball, and part baseball uniforms. This mixture was later replaced by real baseball uniforms on the date of our first game. On March 28th we had our pictures taken for the yearbook. We had a laugh over the way big Bill Pless laid himself carefully on the ground to pose for an action shot. With several veterans from last year and other promising new ball players, we had a fairly successful ball club this season. Among the veterans were Don Seagraves. pal Vandeweghe. BillPless. Bernie Weisman. Cliff Hoelzer. A1 Abele. and Jim Skidmore. We had a good pitcher inBill pless this year. With his six feet four inch height measurement, he could just make the ball drop from the pitcher's mound to the home plate. Well, not quite! We also liked the way Don Seagraves scooped up the grounders in his short-stop posit ion and sent them over to Cliff Hoelzer at first. We're still hoping for the day when we see some of our Sider team mates on the diamond at the Yankee Stadium, or better still. ELbett's Field. You can tell it's early in the season, 'cause John Drew's pants are still white. He's safe! Strike and spare experts Sharpshooters READY-AIM- FIRE! Under the leadership of Mr. Padgett, advisor, and Paul Chunko. president, we shot our way through about seven matches this year. Having lost most of our former members in last June's graduating class, our club had only four experienced rif lemen out of thirty. However, we lost matches only to Hempstead and Chami-nade. who had almost allof their last year members. Next year our goal will be to end up first in the Nassau Scholastic Rifle League. Mr. Padgett has fond hopes that we’ll come out on top. BOWLING We carried on this year in spite of the loss of three varsity members last June. We expect to have a winning team next year when our boys will have had more experience. Our members were George Mott, Stanley Stein. Albert Abel, George Dodd and Herbie Swanson. We were also enhanced by the membership of the Were-wolf of Island Park, pete Miranuck, hfe wolfed us right out of the championship but we couldn't have done without him, anyway. Oceanside won matches from East Rockaway, Central, and Baldwin. Long Beach won the champions hip with Lawrence coming in second. ‘Hey. he's got a gun! 62 Mama! Take that man away! GOT ME PINNED! They strip--Ah. such physique All brawn and muscles; that's us. For the sake of the team we ate our spinach and refrained from excesses faithfully all winter, practising for two hours at a time after school on every day except Friday. On Fridays we had our matches. We outdid ourselves on all nine matches. Our rating was second only toMepham. which is probably the best team in the country. We weretheonly ones to keep thembelow forty points. However, half the credit should be claimed by Coach Chase. who taught us our deadly ‘holds’. Our lineup isasfollows: In the 103 lb. class, Billy Johnson; 112 lb.. Steve Chehaney; 120 lb.. Mahland Pearsall; 127 lb..Joe Bauman; 133 lb.,Bob Wendell; 138 lb.. Harry BiewaId; 145 lb.. Everett Dodge; 154 lb..Bob Daly; 165 lb..Fred Pasternack; and, unlimited. Phil Genthner. Joe Bauman won every match he played, even those with Mepham. Bob Wendell wasdefeated only twice, by Valley Stream and Mepham. Phil Genthner wonall his matches until he met one of Mepham's little muscle men. Blancken. At the S. S. A. L. tournament. Phil reached the finals and was defeated again by Blancken of Mepham. Both Bob Wendell and Phil reached the finals in the Long Island tournament. These three are our best wrestlers and are all veterans. Our prospects fornext year are good due to the number of beginners who made the team this year and will still be around next season. The newcomers this year were Steve Chehaney. Mahland Pearsall, Harry Biewald, BobDaly. and Fred Pasternack. What do we get out of all this? Well, it's a lot of fun and then. too. there's the sat isfaction any one of us can get by running up to some cute little numbdr and saying. ‘Feel my muscle, babe'. Wrestling team, muscles concealed HOCKEY With Gertie the Goa lie (see opposite) lending her moral support, we turned out to our first practice feeling quite invincible. The season officially opened when Jean Conrade and Grace Glueck staggered onto the field, making unintelligible noises at Mrs. Burkhardt. On further query, they confessed that they had just christened the girls locker room with a bottle of linseed oil. We proved our merit by taking second place at Adelphi in the Long Island hockey play day. After playing Westbury, Mineola. and Kew Gardens, the honor team came home exhausted, but wiser in the fine pcints of good hockey. Emily Mary Goodwin, captain, Shirley Simmons, FloSmith. Cleo Papatsos, AnnTurley. Steve Lawrence. Helen Caros ini. Marion Frick, Larry Lucas. Lena Hebner. Louise Cusano, Eleanor Masone, Jean Turner and Adrienne Bell made up the team. 'Gertie the Goalie VOLLEY BALL Folliws girls! They can play volley ball, too There was a lot more than volleyball at stake this year because we divided ourselves into teams beat ing the names of airplanes such as the ’Wildcats’, the ‘Spitfires’ and so forth. The idea was to see which plane could reach Tokyo first, this feat being determined by the number of games each team won. At the end of the season the Wildcats and the Thunderbolts were tied. A special game was scheduled and the Thunderbolts came out on top. We all had a good laugh over the new techniques introduced by some of the seniors. Ginny Grace showed us her Dizzy Dean windup and Flo Smith amazed us with the velocity of her punches. Toward the end of the season the honor team was picked, namely, Emily Mary Goodwin, Steve Lawrence. Shirley Simmons, Cleo papatsos, Larry Lucas, Flo Smith, Marie Sanders, Marion Frick, Lena Hebner, Helen Caros ini, and Lucille Grove. At the play-day at Mepham they lost only one game. We vowed we'd never expose ourselves to bruised noses again, but we know that the team will be out in full force again next year. BASKETBALL Our season started with a bang on January 3 as Flo Smith fell off thebleachers while we were signing up. Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors were divided intotwoteams each. The practices on Mondays and Wednesdays consisted mainly of competitive games which were stopped frequently by Miss Lewis so that she could give us a few helpful and badly needed hints about our technique. After a few weeks of fervent practice, we entered into inter-school competition. The Sophs and Juniors did well. We don't talk about the Seniors but we might say that they did all they could to keep their four year record—not to win a game. A few outstanding Seniors such as Emily Mary Goodwin. Shirley Simmons. Flo Smith, and Marie Sanders together with Juniors Helen Carosini, LarryLucas, Louise Cusano, Marion Frick. Adrienne Bell, Jean Turner, and Elaine Meyer were chosen for the honor team. They must have been good because they were winners at the Basketball play-day at South Side. Not a single game was lost! Is that a pos• or is shw rwally gonna shoot? 65 It ain't the results what counts; it s the fora! girls One of the best ways to enjoy the autumn weather is to get out there on the high school campus witha bow and arrow and practice shooting everyday withthesun in your eyes and the fall breezes in your hair. Then on the great day of the tournament, when you're all ready to show off your expert marksmanship, it rains. That's what happened to us this year, but it was a lot of fun anyway. Elaine Meyer, Carmela Damone, Dorothy Jager, and Barbara Ann Cousins were picked by Miss Lewis as the best archers among us. ‘Hurry. Mr. Peiper--the game oust go on PING - PONG Few people ever hear about us except for the janitors and the people who bring their bicycles to school, because we play ping-pong in the cellar, more popularly known as the play room . We're not as insign if icant as youmight think, however, because this year there were twenty-seven of us and we all became pros‘ by the end of the season. We even had a competitive play-day in which Marge Greenwald and Laura Verni played singles, and Marjorie Senningand Dorothy Jager played doubles. Alice 'gives it that one 66 BADMINTON TENNIS For all-round fun and exercise. we nominate badminton as a sport. Gloria Smith claims that she lost four pounds! We all had fun hitting that shuttlecock around and when it came time to attend the South Shore Playday .Charlotte Bedell .Gloria Smith. Dot Eldredge. and Mary Lou Guidice were chosen to go. Dot and Mary Lou played doubles while Gloria and Charlotte played singles. We came out second in the entire competition. We started out with fifteen in the advanced group and thirty in thebeginning. practising after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Lucille Grove and Marie Clark came out on top among the exper ienced players, while Verna Godbout and Nora Marie Mason showed promises of becoming future tennis queens. CXir biggest laugh came when one of our little ‘Alice Marbles found herself on the wrong side of the net after returning the ball. Better than the Dodger SOFTBALL BOWLING About fifteen of us trudged down to the bowling alleys every Friday afternoon this winter. With Miss Lewis faithfully coaching, some of us became rather good. Marie Clark, Jean Conrade. Jackie Jaichner. Eileen Martinet and Velma Traynor participated in the competitive play-day in which we placed third. It was good toget out on the field in the warm sunshine to play softball this year. Towards the end of the season the heat was a little too much for us but the sun helped our suntans along, anyway. Our team was in good form after the first few practices and we did ourselves proud at the annual play-day. strong arm 6a SCHOOL - COM MUNITY In this section of the Spindrift, we endeavor to point out, specifically, some of the many ways in which school and community are interrelated , to their mutual benefit. During the hot months of last summer, the mothers of Oceanside, lacking thegasoline necessary to drive their youngsters to the beach, conceived the idea of a summer morning camp which would provide a supervised play program for their offspring. Sponsored by the PTA. with Dr.Walter S.Boardman as head, the camp was under the direction of Miss Helen Wherry, an OHS graduate, assisted byEmily Mary Goodwin, a senior at the high school. Approximately 150 children, between theages of five and twelve, were enrolled in the sessions, which were conducted three days a week at theTerrell Ave.school and three days at School No. 5 Softball teams were organized among the boys who spiritedly battled the Freeport andLynbrook playgrounds for the summer championship. At a playday held on August 5, kids brought-their mothers and grandmothers. sisters and brothers, to watch as they ranCommando Courses, played kickball, and, in thegirl's cases, exhibited prize dolls. The members of last year's sessions arealready clamoring for another camp this summer. In response to the appeal of the 4th War Loan Drive. Oceanside set out to raise its quota by super-salesman methods. Volunteers Cynthia La ngd on and Florence Morrissey, seniors atCKB. spent Saturday mornings at the Oceanside National Bank, where they tacked on cheerful smiles and received many contributions. Recognizing the need of Oceanside youth for a meeting place and jive joint , members of the community and the student body of Oceanside High School pooled their resources and the result was theOceanside Youth Center, officially christened tfie 'Club Zanzibar . Kids from OS performed the homely chores of scrubbing up. painting, collecting furniture, and giving the former Bristol Motors upstairs lofta club-like atmosphere. The student committees were headed by Douglas Allen and Ann Turley, with Velma Traynor in charge of the House Committee. Bob Chandler handling the financial end. Mary LouGuidice takingcare of refreshments, and Pat Maher directing publicity. The dances held every Saturday night will later be extended to weekday nights, and, if the Club is as successful as its promising start indicates, we have the promise of a permanent new building after the war, to be erected on land donated by Mr. Andrew Southard. On this and the following pages, we show in greater detail some of theactivities through which Oceanside, the Community, and Oceanside, the School, are connected . By the dawn's early light-- ‘Dig down deep. Mister! Muscle packin' mommas Future citizens learn about our Constitution NIGHT SCHOOL To meet the demands of an ever-growing community, one which is considerably interested inbroadening its outlook and horizons, theCfceanside Adult Night School was formed a fewyears ago. It has a large enrollment, and many people meet their neighbors here. 'One of the most popular courses' says Dean Leon H. Sayre, 'is the Reading Club. Lectures and reviews are given on modern drama, poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Imagine Mrs .McDonald s chagrin when she was asked to interpret the poetry of Gertrude Stein! Lots of women, too, go out for the sewing course, taught by Miss Marie Lips of the Junior High School. One young mother has finished her first little girl's dress and is ambitiously starting on a pair of sun-suits . The women's physical fitness course, ledbyour own Miss Lewis and Mrs. Burkhardt, has the mothers of Oceanside touching their toes without bending their knees by now. and the younger generation is complaining that, come summer, their mothers will outdo them in bathing suits) Of value towould-be American citizens is the Americanization Class. Here, the democratic ideals of liberty and justice are taught; and, as a result, Oceanside has several newly acquired citizens to be proud of! Dick Hubbard, sports writer for ‘The Sider Press, is taking typing in the class taught by Miss Barbara Treat. Dick is hoping he can get away from that 'hunt and peck system heuses totype out his sports copy. The Spanish Class, under the watchful supervision of Mrs.Isaac, is fast progressing past the ' Babla Vd. Espanol? Si, hablo espanol!' stage, and soon will have a working vocabulary for the time when they visit South America. The adult night school system is an extremely valuable addition to Oceanside, and illustrated one of the many ways in which the school, given an opportunity. can serve the whole community. THE PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Closely allied with the school system of Oceanside is the Parent-Teacher Association. This organization devotes itself primarily to the youth of the community. It is interested in their welfare, and to this end. meetings and discussions are held every month. The interest of the Junior-Senior High School group was evidenced by its whole-hearted support of our new 'Club Zanzibar . The success of this venture was due in large part to the FTA. A few years ago. the Senior High School received a large donation from the group to help purchase the Varityper, so necessary to the printing of the ‘Sider Press . But thePTA did not merely donate. It helped the students devise more ways toraise the balance of the money on their own. The Parent-Teacher Organization has made it possible. too. for parents to meet and become friendly with their children's teachers. In this way. cooperation from the home is fostered. Discussions are held during the year on various topics of interest to the members. Some of this year's themes were: Ed ucat ion and Post-War Planning. Ad- olescent Vocational Opportunities, at which the speaker was Dr. Margaret Sands, and 'This Global World. a discussion byDr. Chester L. Barrows of Adelphi College. Officers for the year were: President. Mrs. George J. Dashefsky; 1st Vice President. Mrs. William Back; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. Leon Cutler; Recording Secretary. Mrs. Eric Krause; Corresponding Secretary. Mrs .Clyde W. Archibald; Treasurer. Miss Ida M. Pettit; Historian. Miss M.F.Kosegarten; and Counselors. Miss Anna D. Haertter and Miss Alice E. Kinkade. This organization is an example of the community entering into the life of the school. Dr. Chester A. Barrows, speaker of the day 71 Parent meets teacher Morine and Lanzo looking over the lathe bed Reaching for a high one Ulrich sharpens his fingernails 72 MEN AND MACHINES Sponsored by the War Training Program of the Federal Government, theafter-school Defense Courses give enrollees training in machine tool operations,instruction in use of the lathe, drill press, miller, and shaper, as well as in blueprint reading and bene hwork. The course under thedirection of Mr. Howard Cooper is open toboth boys and girls, and recently, we have had students from South Side and Long Beach. The group has completed construction of such instruments as height gauges, hammers, combination screw drivers and other devices. Mr. Leroy Pearson and Mr. Sergius Woronstoff are the instructors for the course. Laboring from 3:30 to 6:00 the trainees emerged begrimed and weary but conf ident in the knowledge that they may get a job in a defense plant immediately on completion of the course.

All is not lost! For the janitor takes them toa dark corner in the cellar of CHS. where they are compressed into bales, and sold for salvage! Donated by the school board about two months ago. at a cost of $100. the baler has proved its worth by eating the words of OB students, digesting them, and making them pay!

We walked in. and sure enough, found them nest led cosily in a wax paper and cracked ice bed. looking just like the pig's feet we used toknow. We hastily bought all that Mr. Gerdes had. and then asked him if there was a big demand for that kind of stuff. He said yes. due to wartime living conditions, when people were forced to use meat substitutes. We left, happy in the thought that the gentle porcine heartburn of our youth was now serving The War Effort. Reimer s Delicatessen OUR SPECIALTY HOME COOK1NQ Opposite Loft Estate A 258 Merrick Road Baldwin. L 1. A newspaper advertisement recently caught our eye. It was a pathetic little item, appealing to the relatives of Fred Strubel and Annabelle Mason, among others, to come around and claim $20 and $50 respectively, at theFirst National Bank. It seems that Fred and Annabelle had thoughtlessly left the money reposing in a Metered Checking Account. Our imagination was stirred bythe thought of hidden millions languishing unclaimed in banks all over the U. S. A. Accordingly, we hastened down to the Oceanside National Bank, where our queries were answered gently and f irmly by Mr .Frederick W.Shaw. president. Q. Did the bank have any unclaimed deposits? Q. How could the claimees identify themselves? Q. Of how many years' standing were some of these claims? And so forth. Not that we were thinking of claiming that which was not our due. but we just thought we d set our statistical mind at ease for the day.

Standing outside the Oceanside Bowling Alleys the other day, we were really amazed tosee how many matronly women come in to bowl for fun and health.’ We noticed whole groups of housewives, energetically carrying special bowling shoes, and vehemently saying to each other. ’Now, I've made upmy mind tomake at least 3 strikes this afternoon, so I can have something to talk about at the dinner table tonight. It'll help make up for the f ishballs . Scratching our head, we strolled in to try our luck. too. Maybe it would help make up for the report card we were bringing home that night. A young lady we know rushed breathlessly into Anna Hahn's Dress Shop. ’Have you anything,’ she demanded rather throatily, ’that willgo with my hair? I can't do anything with it, and my boyfriend’s coming home from theMarines tonight.‘she wailed. As a casual observer, we saw that the wearer had evidently submitted to a hasty feathercut. Miss Hahn calmly produced a rather cute little number with ruffles at the sleeves and a sweetheart neckline, which was obviously designed to take the interest off thehair and center itelsewhere. As the young lady left, with thedress securely tucked under her arm. Miss Hahn sighed and said that it was interest ing,though sometimes slightly trying,to’cater to the school-gir1. We left, also, thankful thatwewere graduating, and could no longer be included in that category. ft Vi !v | ft ft it v V ft vV $ ft 8 V( $ y $ ft i $ % % • Jv Vi A r L€Sn HARF.RnASHF.RY SPORT WHAR ROCKVII.LE CENTRE Peerless Shoe Store 22 N VILLAGE AVE.
