SPINDRIFT � ■ DEDICATION Lieutenant Charles K. Mosback serves as a symbol of all the Oceanside boys and men now serving our country. To Lieutenant Mosback and all these boys, home is tlie wonderful place where tlieir hearts are, even though they themselves are far away. Their every thought is home and the many treasured memories of it, church on Sunday, the salty smell in the air, the fond recollections of school days at Oceanside High. Never a day goes by that at least one of these boys, home on leave, isn’t seen wandering through the locker lined halls of O.H.S.. reacquainting himself with his friends both in the faculty and student body. We have talked to many of these boys and we find their reactions interesting and enlightening. Oil the following pages we have tried to give you a clear picture of our school in wartime, as seen through the eyes of tlte returning serviceman. The staff of the 1945 Spindrift humbly dedicates this book to these servicemen, and above all to Lieutenant Charles r . Mosback, our good friend and fine principal. How Firm A Foundation 'tnion Free School District No. 11, Town of enspstead i s the of f ic ia 1 title of our School District. Among those closelj concerned with school adirinistrat ive matters it is known as a ‘Village Super intendency , a tern used to denote such districts having a population in excess of four thousand five hundred persons ai� d not incorporated as a city. The Foard of Education is the policy determining body. It is directly in control of all matters concerning tlie welfare and progress of youth in school. This means not only approval of hills and contracts, the provision of supplies and of maintenance, hut also planning for both now and the future to be certain that textbooks, courses of study, and all tlwt is done is in keeping with tlwi finest traditions of American Fducation. The members, elected ty the voters of the School District, serve without pa fora three year term. It neets regularly each month to review natters of instruction, finance, and m.a intenance of facilities. The hoard serves bj authorityof State Legislature, and seeks at all tines to provide the best possible educational opportunities for youth, yet it is mindful of the interests of parents and taxpayers. School administration is generally considered as one of the Lest cxatT.plcs of an effective representative form of government. Tl� e people vote direct ly upon money to he raised and upon the representatives who are to be held responsible for pul lie service. Efficiency Is The Word As executive officer for the school board, Dr. Walter S.Poardrr-an, Superintendent of Oceanside schools, has well served the District. He has wisely executed the plans conceived by the Foard of Education and has worked constantly for the betterment of Oceanside youth. His interest goes beyond the school. He has supported 'Sailors Haven,' Oceanside's youth center, and he has tirelessly tacked every phase of the war effort. Lt. Charles Vosback, principal of Oceanside High School, who is now on active duty with the United States Navy, received recognition this past year, when his gun crew was awarded a citation for all around excellence. We all hope for his safe and quick return. Hiss Alice 1 inkad? has continued in her position as acting principa 1 and has striven to keep upOceanside’s standards. She has shown interest in extra-curricular activities and has fostered the development of team work. Our assistant-principal. Miss Eunice Pearson, who also serves as school 1ibrarian and adviser to the C neral Organization, has contributed many years of faithful service and has been an invaluable aid to Miss Kinkade in supervising financial affairs for Oceanside High. School administrators are now confronted by the same problems that are challenging leaders in other fields. They iiave tlie additional task, however, of dealing daily with those young men and women whose lives are being so inrced iatel y and drast ica 11 y affected. We are glad that our school is in the hands of such capable people. 6 Eunice P. Pearson, lice E. Kinkade, assistant principal acting principal Office secretaries: Mrs. Morgan. Miss Litson.

AN OPEN LETTER Dear Faculty, We, the graduating students of the Class of ’45. wish to express our gratitude for all you have done for us. In years to come we shall remember how you faithfully undertook the wearisome task of putting something into our lieads. We realize now, perliaps better than before, the reason for the many subjects we have worried and fretted over. Fnglish, math, science, health, languages, gyn. etc., all tend to develop our minds and bodies. We shall do all in our power to use the history we have learned to make the world the ‘better place our boys are fighting for. To all the teachers: We appreciate a 11 you have done for us, and we are even willing to forget the many times you sent us to the office, or gave us detention for not doing our homework. You were swell, all of you. Very sincerely, The Class of 45 9 IN MEMORIAM Kirke E. Davis 1895-1944 Kirke F. avis, science teacher for twenty years at Oceanside High School, pioneer in electronics for high schools, he lived to see the introduction of radio into New York schools. Impatient and intolerant with vagueness and careless thinking, he com. rcunicated to his students a respect for scientific method. 10 IF ' Leroy hite-USAF MAY DAY % 1944 !Aeeh potty er Attendant All decked out are Stevie Lawrence, Cinny Crace, Ann Turley, Dotty Meehan, vartha Hoffman, Janie Phillips and Jean Conrade. ]2 Mien, Gladys, and Lucy wearing the traditional Girls' eek pigtails 13 GRADUATION TIME Allen, president: I. Power , vice-preaident. SENIOR V-MAIL Dear Phil, I received your letter yesterday and here 1 am answering on the double.- You asked about the goings on of our class, so settle yourself down and 1 shall relate the happenings. Well, after twelve 1-o-n-g years, thirteen counting kindergarten, I am now a ‘mighty Senior. It gives one a superior feeling. If you visited the school you would probably be reminded of your own high school days, as though, 1 consider this Senior class the best yet. At our first class meeting we elected Doug Allen, president; James Powers, vice-president; Lucille player, secretary; Adrienne Bell, treasurer; and Junior Rosenman, G. 0. councilman. We had outstanding players on the football team and had Herb Gerdes voted a 11-scnolastic by the ‘Review Star and the 'Newsday . We cair.e so close towinning the ‘® league championship too--but South Side tied us. Anyhow, our baskets 11 team gave us honors by becoming the B league champs. All of the players on the team were Seniors--hubhah; hubbahj We never could talk after the games, as we ye 1 led so much. If the cafeteria walls could speak, what stories they would have to tell. Bo-wangi Pror dates, hot gossip, homework assignments, sports, and dates of the night before, were all discussed within these four walls. The latest slang was heard at various tables. An occasional shriek fron an unsuspecting person who happened to sit on a tack was not out of tlie ordinary. Almost every week, the strains of 'Happy Birthday could be lieard echoing throughout the room. ?, r. pieper and Niss Sullivan deserve Purple Hearts, or something, for taking charge of such a rambunctious class, in such small quarters. And now with only a fewweeks left, I truly fee 1 a little sad at the thought of leaving the place. Yep, I’m even sorry that there’ll be no more trips to the office. All 1 have left is memories--ah, wliat memories! How the fellows us d to knock themselves out playing baskettal1 at noontime.

We 11, here’s what I’m going to do --here are some of the doings and deeds of our 'mighty Junior class--the V;r. In-betweens' of old Oceanside Senior High. Just at about the time you fe1 lows were making the magnificent sweep through Verdun and Le Havre and such places we were starting to prepare for our second year in tne school. On September 6- - of n.rfl (’beginning of agony) we dasltcd back gleefully (raise your eyetrow) thrilled at tiie idea of teing real honest-to-goodness Juniors. Naturally we went right towork. The first class meeting was a real success. Vin Prochilo was elected class president along with other numerous officers and G. q. representatives. The war Loud drives, 7ed Cross and infantile paralysis foundation all received excellent support from the nice little Junior toys and sirls (a capita 1 N on Nice•). St. Vnlentine’s Pay was one of the fig dates on our calendar, because it was then we held the 'junior Jump . There was sweI I food and entertainment and a swell turnout. atch the Junior pron. was the trignt spot on everyone’s list.

SOPH V-MAIL Dear Hot , I'm glad to hear that the sophomore class has so quickly become an active part of the high school. Danny Genth-ner must have done some fine work to get a gold football for being on the championship football team. 1 hear John Cavanaugh and Arty Graiiam did some fancy playing on that team, too. You can certainly be proud of tlie wrestling of Steve Chohany and Ticky Takakjian. Good work, sophomores! I know Jack Lucas, Frnie Morine, Davie Lazar and Jack Cavanaugh must have been a help on the Jay Vee basketball team. I hope tliat your barn dance is a great success. The idea of having dancing at the end of the class meeting seems pretty good. It changes class meetings from uninteresting necessities to entertaining dance sessions. oom 123 must have put those seniors in their place by taking highest honors in tlie first Junior Red Cross drive, among other things. Your class certainly has iiad a fine record having had members on the Sider Press, Spindrift, Rifle Club, Service C|ub, Masque Society and other activities. Good luck again next year. Harry 39 Thi picture it posed. John Drew can't read QUIET, PLEASE! As Regents time grew near, Oceanside Seniors could be found storming the library trying to cram bits of the c lassies for their exams. Through tlie helpful suggestions of Miss Pearson, our ever ready librarian, wc Seniors were able to find just wliat we wanted and cane through our Regents with flying colors. Of course, tnis isn't the only time students use the library. All through the year, it serves as a constant aid in solving our problems. Our library contains a 11 sorts of books both old and new, which can easily be found under systematically arranged cards and files. It also has an unusually large display of current pamphlets and magazines. Students enjoy reading them, and miost anytime you walk into the library you will see someone deep in the pages of Vogue , Seventeen or maybe even The Etude. The large windows, which allow plenty of light for readers. the sturdy unmarked furniture and the pleasant atmosphere which prevails, add to the excellence of our library. It would really seem strange not to find Miss rearson in the library. She is always on hand and is certainly a vital part. She has served many tireless years in 0. H. S. with progress always her aim. in addition, our library lias also served as the headquarters for the faculty and General Organization meetings. In October. the Nassau County English Teachers Association met in Oceanside and our library was the scene of an attractive tea which was followed by a discussion of problems confronting English teachers. 40 'I got my start in the Service Club.” COOPERATIVE RETAIL TRAINING PROGRAM Because Oceanside High School is one of the schools on Long Island that has adoDted the George Deen program for Distributive Education, these students, Gloria Campo and Edwin Balder, are given the chance to make a career of retail selling. Gloria, who is a salesgir1 at the Cricket Shop, and Edwin, who is in the receiving department of Sears, Roebuck andCo. (both places in Rockville Centre), are typical examples of the students who have taken retailing in their junior ear, and retail selling in their senior year. Eor the past five years, students of Miss Madolyn F. Pancoast's retailing classes have been employed in various establishments, working on. the average of fifteen hours per week. For this, the students are given a unit of credit and are eligible for a Regents diploma in retailing. Under close supervision, they learn the essential values of integrity, skill and loyalty. They also learn of the close cooperation between the school and the store. They have learned that consumers and progressive retailers are showing increasing amounts of interest in the costs of distributing the products of industry. The retailers realize that some of tiie excessive costs of distribution might be avoided if more efficiency in the system of retailing and wholesaling were encouraged. Thus it is easy to see the immense value of trained students. 'either tiring nor boring are Miss Pancoast's classes, for sue teaches with a f i rm and dist inct ive flair, points on grooming and such are given to the students before they apply to prospective employers, problems that arise are soon smoothed over under her capable hand. in this way. Miss pancoast is paving the road ahead for a better business world. Speech class, looking speechless. Mr . Hench English 8. busy little beavers, aren't they) Journalism class, catching up on Cravel Gertie. Accentuating The Positive Dear Steve, You said in your last letter that you didn't see what good English was going to do you after you graduate, except in knowing how to speak correctly. Since joining the Seabees, I have found that English is important in many ways. I was on a raft in the pacific with two other fellows for three days. In reality, that isn't such a long time, but you'd be surprised how slow the time goes. To pass the time, we talked about our civilian life. Although San-hadn • t had as much education, as Joe and I did, he could keep up an inte11igent conversation, mainly because he had spent most of his spare time catching up on the latest literature. Joe told how he used to be an atrocious speller, and always had his femmes write out his exercises for him. But he didn't learn to spell. You see, we read each others' mail and friends often conplaincd that they couldn't understand his words, because of spelling and sentence construction. I guess this sounds somewhat like a sermon, but I can't begin to tell you how much I want you to know tliat English is,perhaps, the most important subject there is, so far as after graduation life is concerned. Bon 42 History teachers-' Mr. Pearaon, Mr. Loveland, Mrs. Short and Miss Pederson Senior history class Historical Notes You kids have had history pounded into you until you’re sick of it. You may think it’s a lot of bunk when I say I wish I had paid more at tent ion in class, but it doesn’t seen; that way when you sit and think by the hour in some nwddy foxhole. For instance, everyday history is being made..the Atlantic Charter, Dumbarton Oaks and the Crimean Conference. low, how are you going to grow up into competent citizens if you don’t understand the connection between what happened in the 18th century and what s happening now? This is just another case of history repeating itself.• I hear Mr. Pearson has gone military onus and is teaching some of his classes with movies..I guess the kids like it from the reports I receive. I also l� ear tiiat O.H.S. iwsa new history teacher, Miss Pederson, and also that she’s a pretty orwegian. One of the fellows I know is in her class, and he thinks she’s tops. ] guess she passes the gang's muster as being an o.k. teaclier. Charlotte tells me that Mrs. Short is plugging away at American history with her nice friendly manner. It seems it’s been decided that next year she will teach only A-merican Problems instead of tl� e customary Latin, American Patsy takes over World History, while Mr. Loveland goes out for a short 7-up. The Gang writes me that Mr. Loveland is still entertaining his classes by mixing some interesting stories with his explanation of WorId History. if I remember correctly he liad an example for just about every event that occurred. 43 SAILOR PUBLICATIONS S . v t Lee n.

SIDER PRESS Theresa Hair one Editor-in-chief Press Correspondent. Dear Terry, Thanks for sending me the 'Sider press since I've been in the Marines. I can’t begin to tell you how very much I appreciate your sending it to me. I see that Mary Ellen Caroline has taken over my old job as Make-Up Editor, since To Corosete was promoted to Production Editor. I also noticed that my old pal, Dor. Campbell, was printing Superintendent this year. Mr. lench can be proud that the ‘Press won the All N’ew-York ESSPA rating at the Syracuse Convention. That’s certainly keeping up the past standards of Oceanside. I am sure that I speak for all the ex-Siders now in the Service ami especia 1 ly those in overseas service, wlien I express ir.y most sincere appreciation for the fine work tliat you and your staff are doing in the field of journalism and morale. I especially liked the special 12-pagP G.l. Christmas issue you sent around Christnas time. It really made me feel as though I were back at OHS. Thanks again. Pvt.

All yearbook editors say that, wlten they rea 1 ly want to say 'the best . I remenfcer I did. Tlie difficulty you faced, when there was a stiortage of film, was outweighed, I'm sure, b the pleasant thrill you experienced upon see ing the prof ess iona 1 looking art work-turned out bj Shirley and her staff. Fleanor Crymble, and Irene Link must have been very useful, if I know those gals. Although it was hard work, you've got to admit it was fun finding out the 'mighty' Seniors' hidden talents, ambitions, and especially their full names. I know justhowyou felt when the final page was pasted up and tlie completed 1945 Spindrift was safely on the way to the printers. You breatlwd a sigh of relief, as ou closed the door on tlve press roon leaving a pile of clippings on the table, l ecause 'Silent vr.Doyd had mysteriously made awa with the waste paper basket.

The job of financing Sailor Publications and taking care of the monetary matters is handled by the Business Staff. This department is divided into four groups. The Advertising Bept., under the direct ion of manager Albert Levin, sells ads to local merchants and various big business companies. Tlie ads are then drawn up and composed in artistic arrangenents by the foake-up group, led by Jean VarAjyne. The Circulation Dept., headed by Elinor Grafinger is assigned the task of selling the various publications. This intrepid group braved the early dawn to sell the Sider Press to the first arrivals at school. Spindrifts were sold by two methods--they could be purchased in either one or two payments, with a slight additional fee for the latter. , Representative salesmen from the homerooms were appointed to encourage the students• purchases of the yearbook The process was handled ina very business-like way. Each sa lesman was provided with a special order book. Triplicate forp:s were filled out. One slip was given to the buyer, acting as a receipt for the money; one was kept by the faculty adviser for the department records; and one remained in the salesman's book for his own records. Speranza DeMenech was in charge of keeping the books. The entire staff was headed by the Business Manager, Dot Dashefsky, and supervised by faculty members, ft’iss Mary Sullivan and Mr. Roland W.

We’ve graduated froir high school to a bigger thing, life; life, not as you know it, but strict Government Issue life. After spending weeks months, even years in training camps and actual battle, it's always a welcome surprise to get a letter from the old alma mater. The G.O. doesn't stop there, though.

Following the election, tryouts were held for membership. Albert Levin amused us with his passionate proposal of marriage to Murray Neitlich during initiations. Members admitted were; Carl Cash, Martha Lang, Rose Marie Cruz Diaz, Albert Levin, Jeannie parillo, Dorothy Schwartz, Jackie Jaichner, Joan O’Rourke, Joy Davis, phylis Lang, Linda Beck, Genevieve Laino, and Elizabeth pantke. Qur next problem was that of choosing the annual Masqu? Society play. Since it is always given tl e last of March,'My Sister Fileen was hurriedly selected. Under the direction of our faculty adviser, Mrs. Eileen McNamara, the cast was picked and play practice commenced. The cast included Dor is Kesse 1, Albert Levin, Gecile Fiot, Edwin Weber, Rick Hubbard, Carl Cash, Murray Neitlich, Edmund Tester, Doris Concha, Joan O'Rourke, Fverett Anderson, Jacqueline Jaichner, Richard Fur long, Robert Farrell, Gerald Willenkin, and Dorothy Schwartz.

Yes, these girls, under the able direct ion of f' iss liess, shook off ’Mr. Sandman• in the early hours of the morning and plowed their way to school in all the snow and hail of the winter months. Results of the ’Spring Festival proved that their efforts did not go unrewarded, however. Some of the most successful nunLers were ’Dark Eyes’, and ’Gianina Via . Officers of the choir this term were; Louise Cusano, president; Marge Greenwald, secretary; Flaine Meyer, librarian; Kathleen McCabe,. assistant librarian and June Allen, publicity manager. These officers have actual duties to perform. First of all, the president must he capable of taking over in the absence of the director. Due to Miss Hess’ unfortunate illness, Louise had an opportunity to perform this duty. You’ll always see Marge with black Look in hand taking a very accurate attendance. She receives some deep frowns when she marks a member late, but all is forgiven and harmony reigns.

Stanley Douglas as director, the band this year was quite a smooth running organization, with Jay Sweezey as president, Eleanor Mayer as vice president, Bob Fielder as secretary-treasurer, and Joanne Sapounas as 1ibra-r ian. That stirring music you heard at all the home football games was provided by our great band. Tlie attractive blue, goldandwhite uniforms, representing the school colors added much to the impressiveness of the organization. During the intermission between the halves of the games, real performances were presented, including rousing marches, Oceanside I’igh's alma mater, and skillful feats by the twirlers and flag throwers. As an added attraction this year we had both a drum major and a drum majorette. They were, respectively, Harvey Abrams and Glo Sweeney. Owing to other activities, Harvey was forced to resign and Bob West was appointed. Bob led the band for the rest of the season. Besides directing the band at parade, Bob led the band in assembly programs. At tl� e annual Cnristmas asserntly the band presented the 'March of the Three Kings , by Fizet. A clarinet quartet, composed of °andy Orzano, Fvelyn Or-zano, Walter Keller, and DeWitt Anderson, played ‘Prayer from T.ansel and Gretel by Humperdinck. As .Vr.Bouglas is a member of the'usic Education Association of Nassau County our band had the privilege of entering the 'Arts Come to Hempstead', which was held Saturday, Vay 12 at lofstra College in Hempstead.

Tins might not be an exact duplicate of tl� e question answered by the members of the club, but it gives you a general idea of what they contend with. Under the direction of Miss Flaine app, these twenty members have proved that they can and do have just as much fun as any other organization in the school. This point was emphasized especially at the hilarious assembly given by them in the spring. From, now on the club will very likely have an annual assenibly program. ery early in tlie year, after the club officers were elected, Margy Greenwald, as president;Janet Sager,vice-president; Suth Schrepfer, secretary, and Albert Levin, as treasurer, a party was held to we 1 come the new r.embers. The refresidents consisted of eight pints of ice cream, four large chocolate cakes, doughnuts, cookies, candy and cider. This was the first time that every r.ember of the club attended a meeting, according to Margy Greenwald, president. In order to join this club, students must be taking or have completed intermediate algebra at the time of their induction. They must then be elected into the club by the old members. The new members this year include Boris Kessel, Fdrnund Morse ,Ja k Abe 1, F-rnes t Griffiths, Gene Weisbein.Bob Johnson,Dot Dasnefsky, Teddy Hull- yde, Quentin Knauer and uth Schrepfer. nth Out : First Row- E • Griffiths. f • H r «•, T.

Raynor, you as president June Dukeshire, as vice-president, Jean Syrett, as secretary-treasurer, and Julia Penn, as Sider press reporter. I can visualize the Barn Dances, in November and April, as great successes. I remember what fun it was to come in old clothes and just have a swell time. Let me say 'thank you for all the Servicemen and women in the Armed Forces of tie United States for the excellent work you have done in promoting the Junior Red Cross drive and in helping the needy families on the home front and in the war-torn areas. Very truly yours, Gene 59 Miss (reeri sm i I es pr et t y' f or the camera BEAUTY PLUS BRAINS Although yiss . ary Green, the pretty, Hue-eyed guidance counselor, has just arrived this year, she has endeared herself to the student body by her charring per-sonality and proficiency in Her work. One of the nost helpful activities this year was the Career pay, which was planned in order to fai i 1 iar ize the students with the fine points of various occupations. Representatives cane and talked about their industries, colleges, businesses, and the services. GUIDANCE guidance has a three-fold function-first, to fit a student to the school program best suited tohis capacities; second, to discover reasons for and neans of overcoming failures; third, tobring before the student all vocational possibilities. In order todiscover individual capacities, and tendencies, no single measure is used. A combination of objective aptitude and interest tests, conferences with students and previous school progress are employed. The Guidance Departnent receives confidential reports from teachers, which stress possible causes of failure. These are discussed with the individual students in order to clear up any apparent difficulties, concerning day to day work, succeeding courses and ultimate plans for the future. To prepare a student for choosing a vocation, the Guidance Oepartruent first of all has a tremendous amount of information available on every type of vocation. Representatives cone from business schools and colleges, and they help to bring more forcibly vocational choices to the students’ minds. Through individual conferences from sopnomore year on, his definite interests and abilities arc discussed. He is encouraged to take out folders of information, not only about his chosen vocation, but other vocations as we 11, in order to gain as troad a background as possible. In this way, it is to be hoped that by tiie Senior year he will have come in contact with all available vocational information and have acquired a definite plan for his future. RECEPTIONISTS Waiting to pounce on returning servicemen and to run errands for the office, are these willing student receptionists. yany students are reawakened by the appearance of ti� ese messengers in various classrooms. Whistling and catcalls sometimes greet them as they gaily trip along. Miriam Isaac, Larbara Foster, Linda Leek, yvettc ;ilos, Frances Frey, Elizabeth pantke, Lillian Hores, and Peggy Sclimitzler are these active leavers. In truth, they stimulate and keep upthemorale of the school, hiss Kinkade and the office staff find their services indispensitle. Hubba! I'ubba! 60 We really decided to go to town this year, so we spent our afternoons practicing, at tended by the usual crowd of admirers, necklers and certain little boys, who just said £� wangt And can you imagine-we even practiced Saturdays before the games| l'r. Fl nn tnought our squad was good (even if it was only because we 'kept out of his way'). Well, a f ter many bat t le scars from tlae sewing rrachipe, we emerged, spic and span in our •whites and for the last few games, we borrowed pea-coats to complete our sailor outfits. I the way, we entered a cheer-leading contest and placed second, orchids to our J. V. They were a swell squad and rea1ly looked neat in their white skirts and b lue jumpers , which they made then,selves. The squads were: Varsity, GloCrohs, captain; Glad} s Adorno, Terry Damone , Larry and pat Lucas, 'arion Frick, Helen Caros ini, Jack Jaichner, Fi-leen boyd and Verna Godbout; j v. Lucy Frvolino, captain, Kay loylan, potty Johnson, Mari 1 ynColnen, Larry S ith, FI len . ischo. Rugged Stuff Ve Oceanside Gridders bowled over the oppos it ion for our second successive Class P Championship and another great season. We swept our first three opponents right off their feet. Lynbrook was the first of the fateful three, for once the Sailors hit their stride, they coasted toa 19-0 victory, hen .ewrrark, captain for tne game, proved tobe one of our stalwarts on the defense. The following week, we just managed tonip a lowly rated . Maiverne squad. A point after touchdown pass fromWende 11 to Hoelzer proved tobe the winning margin. Hoelzer also did a swell jobondefense which helped to cl inch the game for us. Our third victory came at N'epliam where Bob Wendell’s passing a long with sone helpful running by pless and Taft, paved the way. A pass from Pob to andeweghe in the early stages started us towards a 19-6 victory. At Chair.inade, the absence of Wende 11 and Varrichio, along with a muddy, water-covered field, proved fateful to ti� e Sailors by a 32-6 score. Only a last minute touchdown pass from Pless toj'arty May saved us from a whitewashing. We lost our second game in as many weeks to Paldwin. it was a heartbreaker though, for after they held a 7-0 lead over us at the naif, we came back and outplayed then , only o tiave a couple of tough breaks lose it for us, 7-2. Our meat came along when Long Peach came to play us. Sheer power crushed our arch rivals 45-0 Angelo Varr ichio rece ived the award as outstanding player that day. Gerdes, honorary captain, played a bang-up game on the defense. vext on the list was Sewanhaka, never before scored upon, let alone beaten by an Oceanside team. Fate changed though, and the Indians bowed 13-0 Pill Pless and Pal Vandeweghe, who played the i r best games of the season, had the honor of being the first Sailors ever to cross a Sew- 62 anhaka goa 1 line, buck Ta 1 in was bad 1 y hurt andwas taken out for the rest of the season. On Thanksgiving Hay we met South Side at Freeport Stadium for the Class B Championship. South Side got off to a good start and led 13-0 at the half. In the third quarter, a determined Sider team, got going and a tS yard punt return by Wendell set up the first goal with Taft scoring and Vandeweghe kicking the point. Intheclosing minutes, a pass from Wende11 to Vaixleweghe scored our second goal and the game ended 13 all. Swell defense by Hoelzer, ew-mark, Pasternack and Fitzgerald kept our spirits high. The students of OHS should take ti.eir hats off to .'r. Chase arid Mr. Flynn for another successful season. The certainly shaped Oceanside’s tean up. We • 1 1 remember the inspiring ta Iks they gave us before games and between the halves. Let’s hope we have as good a tean- next year, as we had this year. 63 Coach Chase. (Love that man?) 65 Varsity team; First row-flip Shspiro.Bob Chandler Hank jtforine,Junior Rosen-man and Joey Lyons Second row Her by Gerdes, pal Vandewep.he .Coach Flynn, John Cre w and i ar ty M y With four veterans sparking the team, aiKl the addition of four of last year's J. v.’s and two newcomers, the Sailors started out on what was to be one of their most successful seasons. With 1‘arty and John doing most of thedefensive backboard work, and Ernie and John handling the offensive boards plus accounting for a majority of the scoring, and Marty, Hank and Flip taking care of the ball handling and set shooting, the squad racked up 13 straight victories, but were finally stopped by the Lynbrook Ovls in a tight 46 43 tall game. After downing the Chaminade Flyers for win number fourteen and dropping one to the Vnlverne Mules, the Flue and (� old swamped Long Beach to capture the 'B league title. From there tlie Flynnmen met and beat Lawrence in the semi-finals of the S. S. A. L. playoffs, a feat which entitled tl� cm to meet the Sewanhaka Indians for the championship. The Sailors lost this one in a hard fought 45-39 hall gane and so were eliminated from the tournanent. That ended a great basketLall season at Oceanside. Out of 19 games the Sai lor s won 16, a record which is an enviable one for any team. Next year we’ll miss our Vandeweghe, Drew, and Morine but most of all, we’ll miss Mr. Flynn, our coach. ,';r. Flynn is leaving his job as head coach at Oceanside to take up that position at Chair.inade.

The Oceanside harriers started off tlie season with a bang by beating Freeport and placing second in a tri-meet withMalverne and South Side, but were hard hit when George V.ott, their star, was drafted; A] Bedell, veteran and last year's coach, left school, and Hank Morine, veteran and captain, retired under doctor’s orders. The squad then lost races to Vepham and Se-wanhaka. But Coach Don Carmicliael, former 0� H.S. track star, worked the squad hard and they got back into winning stride by finishing off the season with three consecutive wins, one a-gainst South Side and two against Lynbrook. Oceanside finished eighth in tlie S. S. A. L. championship, with Jack Russell tak ing tenth place. This year's letterrr.en were Charlie Phillips, Johnny Jenkins, Jack Russell, Bill Shea, and George Addison. Coming down the track 68 BASEBALL •ley, the Dodgers want you, Bausch.

BOWLING Although the Oceanside High School bowling squad had a rather unsuccessful season this year it cannot be said that they ever stopped trying. Inder the capable leadership of Captain Oon Wylie, the keglers put up rrany a stiff fight against tough con pet i t ion and dropped several matches by very close margins. The squad had a record of eight wins and twenty losses to rank ninth in the county standings. fron Wylie, Eh Vorse, and Al Abelc were the team’s individual high scorers. Rifle Club RIFLE CLUB Dang. Banp ! While last year’s graduations dealt severely with tlie ifle Team, it put no damper on enthus iasm. Our team, despite its handicap of cramped range facilities for two position matches, competed in tlie Nassau Count Interscho- lastic Pi fie League and placed sixth. The tean lettered the standing of the previous years’ aggregations in the Long Island Pifle Championship Tournament held at Wood-mere bybeing outpaced on 1y I yCentrn1 and Hempstead. The club looks forward to an even better season next year. 70 The grunt and groan boys went at it hot and lieavy again this year and wound up with an average record along with a Long Island Champ, namely, our captain. Cob Wendell. Our record wasn't outstanding as teams go, but individu-ally we had one of the best around. 'alverne, our third match, was our first win of the year. Baldwin came over the following week to teat us 24-16. tut not until we put up a good fight. Wendell and Pasternack pinned their men in quick time, while Chohany and Randy Crzano won decisions. Following this natch we dumped Long Beach and Trinity. The Trinity match, which we won 36-9. was our Lest of the year. At one time in the match, Chohany, Randy Orzano, and Wendell pinned the if men in four successive matches. We finally wound up the season with four wins and six losses. In the SSAS O npionships, we had four men reach the semi-finals, namely, Wendell, TakHji� n Pasternack and Chohany. wende 11 went on to be runner-up in 138 It. class. In the Long Island Championships, Wendell, who didn't have a point scored on him all the way through, was 134 lb. champ, while Pasternack was runner-up in 165 lb. class. Fitzgerald holds the individual fall record of 36 seconds for the year. Hoclzer, a first year nan, reached the semi -fina1s and fared well throughout the year. Nestling Tean,: Front Row- J.

BADMINTON Competition was plentiful on tiie badminton courts this year with such 'pros' as Helen Fahy, who won all her games, Joan Licbtenburg and Jeannie parrillo. The badminton playday was held on October 25th at Lynbrook. The fol lowing players represented Oceanside: Helen F«hy, Dorothy Eldredge and Jo Beth Hollister as singles, with Joan Licbtenburg and Virginia Hill as doubles. Oceanside placed second. Aside from taking part in the individua 1 tournament, Jeannie and some of the girls acted as student instructors to the beginning players. We’ll be looking forward to another swell team next year. ITENNIS The ’Racqueteers' for 0. H. S. bad only one match this season, which was lost to South Side. Top honors go to Marie Clark and Dorothy Jager, who maintained the highest scores throughout the year. Not to be left in the dust are these racquet swinging Siders, who also took part inthematch: Elaine Meyer, June Dukeshire, Ruth Shot well. It will soon be time for the girls to reach into the closet and bring out the racquets for another successful season. f je to difficult transportation facilities a plan was devised whereby each school was a 1 lowed to shoot its tournament match at home. Re suits of the match were then recorded and sent to other schools for comparison. Ocean-side placed fourth. A rain of arrows, the speed of light and the shout of et that Full's E e and 'Dead Fye' Jager scores again! Yes sir. Senior Dot Jager, Carrnela Damone and F la ine ey-er were the chief sharpshooters for tl� e ?obinhoodet tes this season. In November, twenty-three girls cane out for ping pong. Il� ey had six weeks of con-pet it ion, after which Marjorie GreenwaId, Elaine Meyer, Dot Jager, and Ruth Sciirepfer, finished as the four top players respectively. Although they didn't win at the annual play Day, at which Ocean-side was host, tney had fun and enjoyed tl� e ice cream. 73 Hockey Honor Teem HOCKEY Mrs. Isabella Burkhardt KEY After four years of liard work, ti ese Seniors have earned their last and highest award, the Gold Key. Did we say hard works if you know these Seniors as we do, you will that it was more fun than anything else. To earn a Gold Key tl� e students trust participate in after-school activities. They receive twenty points for attendance, fifteen if they make class team, twenty-five if they make honor team and five points for passing an official's test. All inall, a total of fifty points may be obtained in each activity. When a student has six hundred points, she is tlien eligible for her Key. The following gir Is were presented with their Keys at the Sportsnite by yiss Kinkade: Helen Carosini, Lou Cusano, Larry Lucas, Lena Hebner and Jean Turner. June prospects are, Adrienne tell, Verge Greenwald and plaine Veyer. The Senior rough and tumble hockey team liad quite a successful season losing only one game to Central and defeating Baldwin, South Side and Fast ockaway. An unusual incident liappened during tne Fast pockawny game. Helen Carosini, the center, was dribbling down the field for a sure goal. The docks' goalie watched the ball coming toward her with terrific speed. Not knowing how to stop it, shedidthe first thing she thought of. Helen, who was attempting to follow-up her drive, looked around for the ball and couldn't find it. Then someone shouted, ‘Hey, tie goalie is sitting on it. As this was not a legal play, the ocks were penalized. The hockey honor team participated in the playday held at Central on Saturday, October The team won two out of three games, in spite of the fact that it was so cold you could just about feel your toes. I 74 BASKETBALL VOLLEYBALL L. Hebner, M. Frick. A. Bell, J. Turner. L. Luces. H. Caros ini. L.

Using the names of American fighter planes, the teams set their targets at Tokyo. The cliamps were tlie 'Spitfires, captained by Louise Cusano. The basketball playday was he Id a t Lynbrook on parch 3. '■’he Siders played four games, winning two, tying one, and losing one. We placed third out of eleven schools. Marion makes like Vande Oir 'set 'em up and swat 'em over' girls were wise in taking names of pies to represent their teams, as the winning team was awarded with the pie their team chose. It was a neck and neck battle between the two senior teams, namely, the Apple, captained by Jean Turner and the Plue- berries, captained Ly Louise Cusano. The latter proved superior, however, remaining an undefeated team. The Volley Fall Honor Team journeyed to b'epham for the Playday held on December The team played four games in all, winning two and losing two. 75 Mar i r J r'r «n«s l-ou tv lyn BOWLING Make room on the ladder of achievement for the Cleanside ’'ovlerettes .
