It is the largest of the Oceanside grammar schools, and is the only granmar school which can boast a gymnasium. Miss Florence Smith, its friendly, efficient principal and the faculty have done much to make a pleasant school. School No. 3 Opened: 1926 Present Enrollment: 259 Those of us who ‘graduated from Oaks Poad School to Jr. High, shall always remember this picturesque brick building situated among stately oaks on a country-like winding road. Mrs. Ruth I.Kopp, the genial principal, along with the rest of the friendly faculty, helped make life interesting and pleasant. School No.. 4 Opened: 1927 Enrollment: 255 Remembered: The bicycle shed; Miss Stout trying tomake the boys sing along in music club; recess and the milk delivery; making cards for every holiday; Mrs. Kilts’ interesting sewing classes for the sixth grade girls. The patience of the janitors on rainy days; the fear of report card marks. c School No. 5 Opened: 1929 Enrollment: 310 Blissful Memories: ‘Pop Jones, the beloved janitor, the muddy basketball courts. Miss dayman'sgeography tests-, Mrs. Newmarch's cheery smile and personality; the frequent assemblies that were so entertaining,and last but not least those rugged lunch-time soccer games. Jr. High School Opened 1911 Present Enrollment: 577 The Junior High, midpoint of our school career, was the goal we all dreamed of while in grammar school. We were made to feel contented and happy by our kindly principal, Miss Anna Haertter, and other members of the faculty. Since the students from four grammar schools all came together here, we made many new friends, which we have kept. DEDICATION To Mr. Roland to. Loveland, to whom we owe much for his long years of service as advertising adviser, we dedicate this issue of the ‘Spindrift.1 Mr. Loveland has patiently guided the various advertising staffs as they have successfully contacted the many Oceanside business firms whose financial backing has been necessary to the publication of the ‘Spindrift. In the following pages we present the 1945-46 report of the oldest business in Oceanside, Education. This business has been in operation since before the Revo-luntionary War and has employed through the years thousands of youpg men and women. During the current year, approximately 2800 employees have worked valiantly to produce for community and world consumption those essential intangibles from which evolve life, 1iberty and happiness. 9 STOCKHOLDERS The preparation of any product for delivery to the consumer requires the services of an untold number of individuals, whether it be tin cans, soap, rides on a bus, electric power, or good will, understanding, initiative, or devotion to duty. When a consumer pays for what he receives, he is in effect, paying an army of servants who are unseen and unknown. Parents and teachers and administrators and boards of education and taxpayers all recognize the crying need in this world for our product. They have faith in our ability to produce, and our ability to produce depends upon their faith. They realize that the preparation of our product requires the co-operation of thousands of individuals. In every conceivable way, efforts are continuously being lent toward the improvement of our product before it leaves our Plant. At times, inferior material is presented to our manufacturers with instructions todowhat is possible to make it into a product with sufficient qualities to send forth into the world. Unfortunately, some of this inferior material does not stand up once it is in the world. It is discarded along the way because of some weak trait that has pulled it down into the everlasting depths of failure. The raw material and the Plant’s objectives did not blend well enough to enable the finished product to endure the situations on hand. Mingled among the various types of raw material will also be found the extreme opposite. Before going through any of the processes, this material already shines with definite promising gleams, l ittle has to be done to this type in order to have it emerge as a smooth and well-done, finished product. Let us doff our hats to our parents, to the voters, to the taxpayers. They know that the process is slow and that our supply never quite meets the demand. 10 Administration Editor: Ruth Shotwell Thom C. Fetheraton, President Andrew S. Southard Andrew R. Frit Henry L. Hoff nan BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Education, made up of five citizens, is the governing body of the major community enterprise, Education. These men are responsible for seeing that a proper educational program is carried on effectively and efficiently. The Board meets on the first Wednesday of each month, but special meetings are called as urgent matters develop, or when the volume of business exceeds that which can be conducted with care at a single meeting. Much of the Board's problem study is done through the committee plan. Members serve on two or three man committees, covering major fields of school service. Among these are purchasing, building, use of buildings, teacher, and transportation committees. It is their function to study problems and to make recommendations which are passed upon by the Board as a whole in regular session. As the Board of Directors of any large organization is responsible to the stockholders of a company, the Oceanside Board of Education is responsible to the people of School District I I Dr. falter S. Boardaan, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Walter S.Boardman, Superintendent of the Ocean-side Public Schools, carries out the policies determined by the Board of Education. He is also a representative of the New York State Department of Education at Albany in matters concerning the State’s interest in local education. He advises the Board in matters of educational requirements and is responsible for reporting to the Board on the progress of the schools. Dr. Boardman’s position is comparable to that of the president of a corporation with the property valued at $2,5000,000, with an annual expenditure of approximately $500,000 and with 2800 individuals directly concerned. In conjunction with the Board, PRESIDENT AND HIS STAFF the purchase of supplies, repair of buildings, and maintenance of safe and sanitary standards, are his responsibility as well as work of the teachers and pupiIs. Dr. Boardman serves in many capacities in the community, county and state. He is President of the Nassau County School Administrators Association, and during the war years served as Committee Chairman on Fuel Problems for the New York State Council ofSchool Superintendents. He has been Chairman of Leadership Training in the Nassau County Council Boy Scouts of America and serves as a member of the National Committee on Volunteer Leadership Training of that organization. He is President of Oceanside Youth Activities Incorporated, and has worked tirelessly for the maintenance of the ‘Sailors Haven. Dr. Boardman is vitally interested in all things pertaining to the community, and youth in particular. He does not consider the schools as a thing apart, but a vital factor in the lives of the people of the Oceanside School District. Assisting the President of our corporation are two full-time secretaries, Mrs. Hermine H. Fiedler and Mrs. Mildred L. Haff. During emergency periods Mrs. John J.Kearns has also assisted in the office work. Office work involves not only the correspondence and business transactions necessary to a large corporation, but business accounting under very rigid State specifications. Payroll work in recent years has been greatly complicated by tax deductions. Difficulties in securing materials and supplies have added irrmeasurably to the work of the President and his staff during the war years. Mrs. Haff, Mrs. Fielder, Dr. Walter S. Boardaan discussing the day's work and ironing out little problems with which they have to cope so that the school runs smoothly, seemingly without effort. 12 BRANCH MANAGERS Miss Smith: School No.2 The guiding light.of Terrell Avenue..tall..efficient... takes a personal interest in her students...eyes sparkle with laughter.

Six hard working branch managers see that the wheels of their respective Plants turn efficiently and effectively. The managers of the four Plants, dealing with the early stages in the development of our products, are interested primarily ineducation as it touches the lives of young children. The work processes are the same in all the Plants. Miss Wini fredBarry, Elementary School Coordinator, is responsible for this uniform procedure in the schools. In the Junior High School which includes the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, the children from the various sections of Oceanside come together for the first time. They are also joined by Island Park pupils of the 9th year. Here the students are introduced to subjects of a more complicated nature and they also, for the first time, set up their own student body organization. After leaving the 9th grade the pupils enter the Senior High School. Here again they employ their own governing body and engage in many after school activities. It is here that they make their last preparations before entering the business world, college or industry. NIGHT SCHOOL Explaining photography technicalities. Miss M.

Under Glenwood Terrell, Head Custodian of the Oceanside School System and Edmund Boyd, Custodian-in-Charge, Raymond DeMott, George Shattes and Dreyfus Abrams have gone through their daily routines which keep the grounds and buildings in ship shape. Their good nature and patience in the face of various forms of our adolescent enthusiasm are causes for wonder. All of the custodians of the Oceanside system are specialists in some phase of building maintenance. They make the many repairs necessary to keep the Oceanside School Plants in good condition.

Mr. Mosback, Miss Pearson and Miss Kinkade steer the course of curricular and extra-curricular activity inOceansideHighSchool. They schedule classes, keep in close touch with the State Department and trends in education. They encourage every up-to-the-minute course and activity that the facilities ofthePlant permit. They keep very comprehensive personal and scholastic records of all students, and are well qualified to reconmend individuals to the various colleges, offices and industries that use the high school as a source of supply. The vast amount of record keeping necessary to carry on this phase of Oceanside’s oldest business is handled by a staff of two full time secretaries. Mrs. Ethal inda Morgan and Mrs .Dorothy Hopkins are assisted by Mrs .John Kearns, and Miss Janet D$ Mott and the secretarial practice classes.

FOREMEN While our Plant forerren are primarily concerned with imparting specific information and the nurturing and developing of those important intangibles in us, they are also interested in their own cultural advancement. Most of them take courses in the nearby colleges and universities, and all avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the city of New York. They contribute, alongwith the faculties of the other schools in the system, to the Bed Cross, Boy and Girl Scouts, Needle Work Guild, Oceanside Library, Youth Center.

Research Department Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that the human mind is like a checking account. As long as you keep putting money in the bank, your checkbook is the most wonderful book in the world. Dip your pen in the ink, make a few flourishes, and you may have all that your heart desires. Rut once you stop making deposits the magic evaporates. Education is the guarantee against intellectual bankruptcy. Ideas rule the world or lead it to chaos. The good life makes tremendous demands upon the world supply of trained minds, soOceanside continues her oldest business, Education. Our scientific world of today requires many people who understand the composition of the earth, the air, and the water. They must know first, how to analyze and second, how to synthesize the abundant materials that make up our physical nd atmospheric environment. Whether we are to become professional mathematicians and scientists or not, we all live in an age in which a certain amount of this information is necessary. To safe-guard our lives we have to be familiar with the physical laws that govern electricity, certain protective devices to check common-occurrence mishaps, general nutrient information which will make our food habits healthy ones, and finally, we must have that certain degree of scientific knowledge which will enable us to better perform our daily work, for science enters into all phases of living. In the past, men of science did not always have to possess the knowledge that they so earnestly desired. However, we of today find the door to scientific knowledge left wide open, and here in Ocean-side, as well, we need only the desire in order to enter. Our Oceanside Plant provides us with laboratories, equipment, and tool subjects needed to acquire scientific knowledge essential to life today. Waiting for the result in a physic experiment. Ge ot%t 18 THE LIBERAL ARTS SCIENCES Ruth shows then how in Latin III class minus Mrs. Short. The great war from which we are emerging was not caused by a lack of scientific facts, or lack of production or men to produce, or to poor workmen in the various occupations. It was due to the lack of understanding in mankind of the basic principles of life. What makes life worthwhile? Individuals have found the answer thousands of times in every century, in lands all over the world, but so far we have not been able to unify our thinking sufficiently to form policies to determine action. We need to continue our search for the unity of idea and action that will make possible the good life for all. We must return with renewed vigor to the study of LIFE through the medium of literature--our own and others; through the study of events of our own times and other times. Fecause we and our institutions are the result of all that has gone before, we cannot solve our problems or prevent future disasters without a knowledge and understanding of actions and events long since passed. To sweep aside the confusions of the present day, we must remove, at least partially, the barriers of language. Words are but symbols of ideas and we must delve beneath the surface of meaning. We must not fear other men or other nations, because we do not understand the words they use. Miss Moe ler settles s problem in senior history 19 Be p I class experimenting with prespectiwe. SKILLED ARTISANS Our Plant is concerned, too, with those attributes of the spirit which lend grace and beauty to life. It is concerned with our creative impulses, and consequently with those arts through which we coimrunicate our truest insights , our deepest experiences, our better selves. Each one of us has within himself a feeling for beauty that may be expressed in any one of many ways. In our Art Department, talented young men and women create drawings in pen, pencil, and charcoal. Others paint, in water and in oils, thus depicting their dreams and ideals through the medium of artistic expression. Creative impulses are nurtured in interior decorating classes, where pupiIs study furniture styles and room setting, and then model their own original ideas. Our emotions find another outlet through the Music Department. Our musicians find that there is music to fit their every mood. They get a lot of enjoyment from playing or singing the music of classical composers, and naturally they all enjoy a popular number here and there. This group includes the orchestra, the band, and the glee club. The Masque Society presents excellent young troupers in its varied productions. Would-be authors and poets are encouraged in the English and speech classes and in the school publications. Seeing their work in nationally circulated publications enthuses the students, moving them to continue in their literary exploits. Thus our Plant does not feel that its job is complete when it has satisfied only the mechanics of education. It seeks to fan into flame the sparks of creativeness found in students when they began their high school careers. The home economics class sews « fine sea . MACHINE OPERATORS In our Plant we learn to use machines, tools, equipment of various lands, to make things that we can use immediately. We learn the basic principles that underlie the planning and construction of things that we are not now capable of making. Mechanical drawing is basic in many things. The boys do much in the shop. They may be preparing directly for a vocation, or only for a valuable sideline. For instance, someone interested in becoming an electrician would have to be able to do such things as test an electric circuit, or wire a home, but even for those who have no desire to be electricians, such knowledge could be put to use in their own homes. Shop work gives practical experience in handling woodworking and metal working tools—training for anything from a carpenter to a watchmaker. For girls, the Homemaking Department corresponds to the shop, in giving training which can be put into practice as soon as a girl leaves high school. In home management students study homes and family problems, and in interior decoration class they learn the basic principles of furnishing a home, something about period furniture The girls get their actual practice in elementary clothing class, making clothes to wear themselves, and giving aid to the Bed Cross by making articles for hospitalized veterans. In short, such subjects as shop, homemaking, art or mechanical drawing provide not only book learning, but some of the practice necessary before men and women can become expert workers.

Working with Metal in the foundry. 21 CLERICAL DEPARTMENT We have come to believe that many things belong to the American way of life--soap, radios, lipstick, magazines, and so on. The various stages of production and distribution of these involve another phase of our American way of life--exchange of dollars and cents, or business. The vast army behind desks poring over columns of figures, estimating costs, making up payrolls, those sitting behind typewriters, standing by filing cabinets, using machines Resigned to facilitate work done in offices, those engaged in selling and distribution, all have a part in this activity of preparing things for consumption. Teaching workers to do these jobs well, and in co-operation with others is the goal of the Plant. Thus our purpose in education for business becomes more than ‘making a living, for through this view, we find ourselves ‘making a life. In order tomeet the business needs of today we offer training inthe management of business, the distribution of the products, and the consequent secretarial work necessary for carrying on the other two. Because of the vait, complete nature of our present day business world, a vast amount of attention must be paid to the keeping of records, the communicating of information by mail, the filing of material for future reference;generally speaking,these activities come under the heading of secretarial and stenographic. Our courses designed tomeet this particular call for workers are: shorthand, typewriting and secretarial practice. Our trainees may go immediately into offices in banks, law firms, manufacturing companies and publishing houses. A very large percentage of the secretarial practice classes is employed within a few weeks after graduation. Because nearly thirty percent of the students graduating from our high schools go into some phase of retail selling, we have in our Plant a broad program designed to instruct individuals in the distribution of products to the consumer. This is known as distributive education, a vocational course offering actual experienoe and practice as well as theory. The curriculum of the distributive education students includes in addition to the required high school subjects, introduction to business, business law, bookkeeping, business arithmetic, retailing T and retailing II. The actual vocational training is called co-operative part-time retailing and includes the study of a text and actual work experience. This gives the students an opportunity to put their theory into practice and earn money. Courses in the management of business are designed with two objectives in mind. The first, is to give the students an understanding of small business so that they may set up their own businesses. The second, istooffer sufficient background information regarding large organizations so that those going into big business houses will have an understanding of their functions and procedures. Courses are offered in bookkeeping, junior business training, economics, commercial law, business.arithmetic, salesmanship. In this last named course students learn the psychology of selling and they deal in theoretical situations. A course in business management in the senior year ties together the material of the other courses. SALES DEPARTMENT 23 PERSONNEL DEPT. Mrs. Morgan, secretary, and Miss Kinkade take care of the ■ orning's dictation. George Myers and Evelyn Schroeder discussing scholarship exanination with Misa Kinkade. The major objective of our Plant is to supply to the community and the world.a large number of young men and women who will contribute to the good life for all. In order to make reasonably sure that all pupils are choosing the courses and activities best suited to their talents and capa bilities, we have a Guidance program under the direction of the Assistant Principal, Miss Alice Kinkade. In conference with Miss Kinkade, and in the Junior High with Miss Mary Kosegarten, the pupils decide which of the various Regents diplomas they will work for. From this point on, students with the aid of Miss Kinkade make further choices within the limits of the State requirements and the various college entrance requirements if college is the next goal. Miss Kinkade also has a vast amount of material on occupations. Each year there are many calls to her office for students to fill positions of many kinds. Diploma Requirements 1. Regents, College Entrance 75% Three years of science or language Plane geometry, intermediate algebra The constants, English and history Electives to make up sixteen units. 2. Regents Courses for three consecutive years in any of the following: business, homemaking, retailing, art, shop. Also science and language majors who did not get the75% for College Entrance, Regents. 3. School. Sixteen school credits. Mae Molander discussing her schedule with Miss Kinkade. 24 Treasurer Vincent Prochilo Pres ident Vice Pres ident Marilyn Smith Secretary FINISHED PRODUCT AT EASE i Well, here we are! Finished products--at last! After what now seems like a short, rather easy process, we’re on our way to the consumer and out intothewide, wide world. At our first meeting in September conducted by our advisers, Mrs. Short, Miss Sullivan and Mr. Anderson, we elected our 1945-6 officers. From that moment we high and mighty people were on the way to a memorable year. Our first successful event was the comed ‘Ever Since Eve,1 held in November, under the direction of Miss D. Sullivan. We’re proud to say the majority of the cast were Seniors and that the evening proved both entertaining and profitable. What fun! For the first time in four years, the Seniors were given the privilege of ’Senior Day.’ We took on the roles of both faculty and administration just for the day. Real excitement, but what a job! It isn’t as easy as it looks. When called upon to present a class assembly we came forth with a program of talent, wit and some just-plain ’corn.’ The audience was astounded by our brilliant mind reading act by the’Great Jambeezee and his usual partner. One of our talented misses entertained us with a tap dance, which did more for the boys’ morale than anything else. The ’Irish Colleen’ of the class held the audience in a trance with her singing, while the ’Four Fish and a Chip’ split a few sides with their ‘cut-ups. Of all the dates during the year our ’Mardi Gras’ Prom on June 1 is the most memorable. The colorful decorations and the music one could dance to all night, made it a dream come true. And oh! Those delicious refreshments! All these things added to a perfect night. So as we look upon the Regents with lumps in our throats and hope in our hearts we can also look back with fond memories on our last year from which we emerged as finished products. It is our hope that we may use our talents and training to help build the best civilization the world has ever known.

Inner Council boasts two of its members from the Junior class. Bob West is Treasurer and Linda Beck is Secretary. Although they are both busy in these capacities, they are active in other organizations, also. Sailor Publications have found places for many Juniors who possess and are interested in developing writing and business ability. Some of these Juniors are Harry K'envin, Advertising Manager, Simone Shiller, School Editor, and Joy Davis, Assistant Circulation Manager. In the field of sports the Juniors really outdid themselves. Among those active in footbal 1 were Dan Genthner, Arty Graham and Jack Cavanaugh. Ernie Moring and Nick Cherkas did an outstanding job in basketbal 1. Dan Genthner was also elected Junior Class President. The girls, too, have done well in their sports. Barbara Ann Cousins and Lorraine Smith and Marilyn Turley deserve honorable mention because they were members of the fine field hockey and basketball teams. The Juniors were well represented in the arts. In music we find Norma Stenger and Elizabeth Pantke with their violins; Betty Ann Fee, expert marimba player, and Jean Bohn, who faces a bright future as a professional pianist. Several of the middle classmen displayed their flare for dramatics in various plays and stage appearances throughout the year. Among these students were Joan O’Rourke, Walter Keller and Elaine Slatkoff. From the Junior ranks there is an up and coming artist by the name of Ticky Takakjian. Ticky is also very active in the G.O. 43 First Row-Scbaitz ler , Altachul, Barr, Fox, Shotwell, Brian, Krause, Groton, Schroff, Higgins.

Since we are now old-timers in high school we can enjoy a year free from worries about graduation, jobs or colleges. During our first class meeting, officers were elected. This year an entertaining quiz program to determine who was smarter--the girls or the boys--supplemented the election. With Joan O’Rourke and Purdy Cole as co-masters of ceremony, the quiz ended in a tie. Because we Juniors decided to do something different this year, a May dance took the place of the usual Prom. Sports was another field in which Juniors continued to shine throughout the year. The Varsity teams were composed almost entirely of Juniors and both boys and girls participated enthusiastically inthis 'employees benefit.1 Clasa Advisors: Miaa Nunnenkasip, Mias Raynor and Mias Moeller.

Joan O’Rourke and Linda Beck contributed a hilarious dialogue; two charming piano solos were rendered by Jean Bohn and Harry Kenvin; Lorette Gorton entertained with a pleasing vocal; Eleanor Mayer played a gusty trumpet solo and as usual, Betty Ann Fee, our faithful marimba player completed the program with two delightful renditions. By the way, Betty Ann plays for wounded veterans at Mitchell Field ivery week. With such an array of talent the program was a natural success. Now that we have covered the activities of the class of 19 7 we wish to say: Here’s luck to the Seniors of tomorrow! Of i iceri -Treat . Sehiatlein, Sec. Chr iatianaen , Prea . Genthner, Vice Praa.

Leafing through the various sections of the “Spindrift you have probably noticed the name of Fletcher Walsh's Band mentioned several times. This honorable mention is well deserved by these boys and their talented Sophomor leader. In the beginning of his Freshman year Fletcher and a few of his musical-minded pals met several timps to play together, and finally they formed a small swing band which has gradually increased to a membership of thirteen. They also have a vocalist who has proved to be a great success The band has very generously donated their services for numerous school assemblies and dances besides playing for their own benefit. It can be truly said that by untiring and diligent practice they have made a good head start on the road to success. Class Advisors: Miss Vollaer, Mr. Gerek and Miss Levis.

Although the Sophomores were treading over strange territory last September they showed us the good stuff they were made of by quickly and efficiently adapting themselves to the situations at hand. Their first and perhaps the most important job of the year was to nominate and elect their class officers and representatives with the following results: Clifford Laverty, Pres. Clement Lawson, Vice Pres. June Gordon, Treas. Helen DeSio, G.O. Rep. These officers have done a fine job in the organization of all their activities, andbydoirtg so have already made a good name for themselves. It can be truly said that the SophonxJre class has proved to be a great asset to our student body and we wish them all the luck in the world throughout their years in O.H.S. The year’s outstanding athlete in football and basketball was Edward Cavanaugh. He did a fine job for his team and upheld the Sophomore Class. We wish him luck and hope he continues his fine work. Rob McNally, President of‘Sailor’s Haven, the Ocean-side Youth Center, did a super job in the upkeeping of the organization. He has done everything within his power to make it a success and has improved the appearance immensely. Not only the Sophomores, but everyone else in the High School wishesto congratulate him for his grand work. On March 15, the Sophomore Class gave a ‘Saint Paddy’s Day Pance.‘ Fletcher Walsh’s band supplied the music. For added entertainment Jeanne Seymour sang, ‘Oh, What It Seemed to Re. Nancy Chamberlain sang, ‘You Won’t Re Satisfied,' andRlanche Gonzalos sang, ‘I'm Always Chasing Ra i nbows. 48 Activities.....Harriet Olson Boys Sports.... Jack Russell Girls’Sports...

Orchestra Monday's and Thursday's working day begins with the clang of an alarm clock, and woe to him who isn't in his seat when the last echoes of its chiming have died away. Miss Pauline E. Hess, the conductress, likes to get down to business promptly, and as you listen to the annual Music Festival you realize to what good use she puts rehearsal time. Anyone showing co-operation and interest in the organization, and, of course, the ability to keep up with the rest of the gang, has what it takes to become a member. Miss Hess said she enjoyed working with this year’s orchestra, even trying to keep the trumpets from drowning out the small violin section. ‘Stouthearted Men' and ‘My Maryland by Pomberg, ‘The Pridal Rose by Lavallee were among the year’s favorite selections.

These girls, who ‘Gave Out with the tra-la-la,‘ were what you might call the cream of the crop, for each young songbird was required to sing the scales forthedirector, Miss Pauline Hess, before admission into the club. Always busy as a bee, Miss Hess spent every Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon teaching proper breath control, tone quality and enunciation. Next year's most talented songstress,following the notes of Senior Kay McCabe, ought very likely to be one of the apprentices, Blanche Gonzalez. In May, both co-workers and citizens of the community benefited by the colorful spring festival. After so many months of hard preparation, they certainly deserved the applause and ohs and ahs they received as the curtain rose on a rainbow of smiling girls in dreamy, colorful gowns with voices to match. And when that clever little ditty ‘Two Hearts in 3 4 Time was sung, you can bet those wistful looks were meant for each one’s favorite someone. So here’s to a hard-working and enthusiastic leader and to a fine group of girls whocan both sing and work together harmoniously, thus bringing pleasure to the whole community as well as to themselves.

Both the old and new members had much talent in the art of make-believe and enjoyed their meetings after the cares of the day. Much of the enthusiasm came from their faculty adviser, Miss Dorothy M. Sullivan. It was with this feeling of comradeship that they unanimously elected al 1 their officers. The eighteen new members, who were chosen after they had recited the traditional ten lines of prose or poetry, whirled through initiation week and the gala party. In December four of the society's stalwart members, Rob West, Joan O’Rourke, Cecile Biot and Richard Gaissert presented a one act play called ‘Mistletoe,1 the story of the marital troubles of a young couple. During the month of March the lights dimmed and the curtain rose on the annual society play, ‘The Mad Hatters, a play which was not only a pleasure to those of the comnunity, but to the actors as well. S3 Of f iceri-Pres . Griffiths, Sec. Chunko, Trees. Gsrdner, Vice Pres. West. Wittner, Levin, Weisbien, Lipp look st the results of hard work. Do you marvel at such modern wonders as the Empire State Building or the George Washington Bridge? If so, then you have a respect for the mathematics which made these triumphs possible. It is only natural that this attention paid to mathematics would lead high school students to the formation of a MathClub. The purpose of our Math Club is to leisurely present various problematical applications of math for the express enjoyment of i ts members. It can readily be seen that in order to accomplish this, its members must have acquired a fair knowledge of high school math. Members are therefore required to have been exposed to at least two years of high school math. In a direct line with its purpose were the club’s frequent lively discussions dealing with formidable puzzles and tricks. Special problems and quizes were also dealt with in a realistic manner. Several guest speakers from the business world presented informative talks in relation to the mathematics of business. However, all was not pure mental exertion with this club. No sir; top on the list of combined social events was the annual May banquet held at the Shadow Lawn restaurant at Hempstead. The past year has been a very successful one for the Math Club. A word of thanks should go to its capable adviser, Miss Elaine Bapp, and to its able officers. Good luck to the Math Club of 1946-47. 54 Plan of Organization SAILOR PUBLICATIONS Senior High School Oceanside, New York The Sider Press The Spindrift School Newspaper .School Yearbook SiHer Press Publication Staff Editorial Department Printing Department Literary Hake-Up Transcription Printing Spindrift Publication Staff Editorial Department Production Department Literary Art School Class Sports Photography Activities-Advertising Sailor Publications Business Staff Advertising Department Circulation Department Sider Press Sales Sider.

Friday, Monday, and Tuesday found DeWitt Anderson, Make-up Editor, counting lines and ye11ing for more copy while reporters dashed in and out trying to meet their deadlines. Eddie Weber, Managing Editor, could be seen running madly about trying to do ten things at one time, and our Editor-in-Chief, Jean Van Duyne, would wildly tear out her hair as she tried to get an inspiration for an editorial. Wednesday nights the Press Room lights burned until all hours as Marty Frey, Printing Superintendent, finished up the printing, and a few sympathetic souls helped him sort, insert and count. Thursday mornings found the Salesmen out bright and early selling the finished paper, 'hot off the press,' while Joy Davis, Assistant Circulation Manager, counted the money as it 'poured' in. And so it went week after week! The Advertising Department, under the managership of Harry Kenvin, did a booming business this year. Because of the over-supply of ads, it was necessary to publish two eight-page issues in October. We took great pride in the size of our paper for it was one and one-half inches longer. The extra space called for more work, but we pulled through. Among our numerous changes was the improvement we made on the layout of the editorial page. We put our heads together with Miss Sanger and came up with several new and attractive arrangements. In February we received Superior rating in the Better School Publications contest sponsored by the Empire State School Press Association. This made us feel pretty good.

We followed in so far as possible the procedure of a cof mercial pub-1isher. The Fditor-in-chief with her staff and the Spindrift advisers decided upon the theme and the various art and photography articles that would be necessary to develop the theme. The Production Manager along with the Fditor and Mr. Hench planned the organization of the material and assigned the various sections to the production editors. Fach editor sent orders for photography, art and copy to those especially qualified to do the work. The Art Department acted as consultants for the layout editors, drew the maps, sketches and cartoons and did the hand lettering. The Photography Department advised by Mr.Pieper took most of our pictures. The Literary Department wrote the copy to fit the spare required. The Advertising Department too’-care of selling, organizing and pasting up the ad section. This system of organization divides the responsibilities among more employees. outa 59 Advertising Sa let mo -Col 1 ins , Loveland, Tonlines, Mr. Loveland, Peek, Kenvin, Marcus, ullig, Hooper, Salisbury, De Sio, Groening, vert, Syrett, Santoli end Hansalik- ADVERTISING After several lean war years the Business Staff of Sailor Publications found conditions getting bach to normal. Instead of a merchant with empty shelves telling an eager young salesman that he could not advertise something that he did not have, several advertisers even sent word to have a salesman call on them so they could get an ad in Sailor Publications. Another sign of normalcy was Mr. Loveland’s using gasoline to drive the salesmen to those hard-to-get-to places. Marilyn Peek and Barbara Tomlines as Co-Business Managers and Harry Kenvin as Advertising Manager headed a delegation of new sales talent. The Business Department attracted efficient new members and records of long standing fell. By October enough advertising had been sold to carry the Sider Press all year. An imnediate result was an increase in the size of the paper. In the next sales campaign the ‘Spindrift quota was quickly reached. Wayne Loveland was high salesman in both publications. Wayne did triple the business any salesman ever did before. Jean Piesenberger was second highest salesman; and Jean also passed any previous sales record. James Henesy made a fine sales re cord. Over twenty other members helped these top salesmen in their year’s work. The makeup was done by Helen DeSio and Jean Piesenberger. The Staff this year has left a high mark for next year’s staff to reach. 60 BUSINESS MANAGEMENT-v rculation De pa r t ate n C Fi ra e Row-M.rci.no Daria, kliaa Sullivan, Tomlines, h.

CIRCULATION The Circulation Department, headed by Barbara Tomlines and Joy Davis, had a very good year in their selling activities. The 'Sider Press' salesmen who braved the elements, arrived at eight o'clock on Thursday mornings. After they were given their papers and money envelopes they went to their assigned posts. When the salespeople returned to the Press Boom the number of papers each sold was set down and the money counted. The weekly report was filled out, the money placed in an envelope and the salesmen’s envel opes were sent to the office. The mailing and advertising papers, taken out ahead of time, were turned over to Dolores Wolfe and Renee Winkeeper. Plans for the 'Spindrift sales campaign started off with a bang; over a hundred books were sold within two weeks, and the sales continued high throughout the spring months. Every homeroom had one or two salesmen to sell the'Spindrift' and the competition between salesmen was very strong. Triplicate forms were filled out from special order books. One copy was given to the student who bought a yearbook, one for sales record and one for salesman's record. Miss Mary E.Sullivan, faculty adviser, was custodian of the money and yearbook receipts. All sales were recorded in a large book. Harvey Abrams and John Short were the top salesmen. 61 Inner C ounc i 1-Linde Beck. Willie. Seiith, Willie. Von Heesel, Bob West, end Mia a Peer eon. EMPLOYEES’ GUILD Once again our General Organization has come through a year of sterling performance under the capable and tireless efforts of Miss Eunice B. Pearson, Oceanside's Librarian and Assistant Principal. During the football, basketball, and the wrestling seasons, the G.O. aptlymanaged ticket collection, transportation of the teams and cheerleaders, and handled athletic expenses. To help ticket collection during the football season, a handsome and serviceable ticket booth was constructed by Mr. Cooper upon request of the General Organization. Among the many decisions made by the G.O., two stand out, especially, as being admirable contributions to Oceanside High School. These are (1) the decision to donate funds to a memorial to the late Marie Sanders, graduate of the Class of 1944. This memorial is to take the form of a drinking fountain to be placed on the school grounds; (2) the decision to purchase an American flag, and a flag displaying the school colors, both of which shall be used in the auditorium. All of these things involve money. Last year the receipts in the G.O. were $6898.25. The disbursements were $3380.78. This year’s ‘Spiidrift takes pleasure in thanking Miss Pearson m and the G. 0. pfficefs, and extends good luck to her and all future officers.

LIBRARY The Oceans ide Senior High School Library, competently headed by Miss Funice R. Pearson, contains approximately five thousand books of al1 kinds. The fiction books number about one thousand. The rest have been divided into books of science, social science, education, religion, useful arts, philosophy, and books in general about newspaper work and occupations. Under the heading of fine arts are found books (Xi drawing, basketball and football. Throughout the pages of the literature books can be found plays, poems and essays. Favorite books include stories of adventure, travel, and the various types of fiction. Among the two hundred reference books are found encyclopedias.dictionaries,‘Who’s Who, Current Biographies and anAtlas, which are always useful. The 'Times4 or 'Tribune, 'Christian Science Monitor,' 'Review Star' and 'Newsday' are available at al1 times. There are plenty of interesting magazines in the library--some of which are kept on file and others distributed for use in classrooms. For several years Miss Pearson has kept scrapbooks containing newspaper articleshaving to do with Oceanside High and its students and alumni. Miaa Eunice R. Pearaon Librarian | vrar, CAFETERIA The Oceanside High School Cafeteria is a business in itself, involving the disbursement of over $10,000 a year. It has ten years of service to its credit, is non-profit and serves between 400 and 500 Junior-Senior High School pupils and teachers each day throughout the school year. Approximately 92,000 half-pints of milk are sold to pupils in the Oceanside System each year. The government provides a subsidy of two cents on each half pint. Thus the five cent container costs the school child only three cents. The average lunch chosen costs from twenty to thirty cents.- Miss Olga Johnson is Cafeteria Manager, and Mrs. Hilda Osterheld and her assistants, Mrs. Colder and Mrs. Matthews, prepare and cook all food. Student assistants are: William Paud- endistel, Porothy Johnson, Carmel a Pamone, Connie Johnson, Robert Wood, Gloria and Ponna Haven.

The group, under the direction of Mr. Walter V. Anderson, the school's new chemistry and biology teacher, perfoi med their mysterious and amazing demonstrations with, to say the least, their humorous accompaniments. The Chemistry Club, organized last fall by Mr. Anderson and a few of the boys, consisted of 15 girls and boys who chose to work on experiments from ‘Popular Science Magazine,' and extra experiments which could not be covered during regular class time. These experiments included work with the spectrascope, flame tests, qualitative analysis, distillation, and tests for unknowns, both in foods and in organic compounds. Much of this work was advanced work for college preparation. The group aided the regular chemistry classes by reporting to them the results of some of their experiments. This having been the first year of the group's existence, no formality was observed during the meetings. However, Mr. Anderson plans to go into a little deeper organization next year and to become affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, if the students so desire. The 1946 'Spindrift extends its congratulations to Mr.Anderson, for helping these future chemists get a start. His patience has been exceeded only by his kindness in helping them along.

Gene Stiegervald L. T. FOOTBALL Looking at the record this year's team seems to be one of our poorer ones as far as wins and loses go because the Sailors won only one out of seven while tying one. But it cannot be said that we lost because the opposing players fought harder, wanted to win more, or had more spirit. This year's eleven had fight and spirit compared to no other Sailor gridiron team. This fact was stated many times by Coach Chase. During any game of the year, no matter what the score, you could always hear the hoarse yells of Kenny DeLeon and Artie Graham, or see Junior Moring running up and down behind the defensive line urging the players on or giving them a well placed whack. As far as the boys liking the game was concerned, just look at the expressions on the face of Coach Chase and the co-captains in the picture above. The Sailors received more than their share of injuries this year. In fact eight first string men were injured at one time or the other and one was forced to retire for the season. Both Eddie and Jack Cavanaugh received leg injuries and saw little action for a couple of weeks. Gene Stiegerwald had a lame back for a week and Junior Moring split his finger, while Artie Graham broke his hand in the Sewanhaka game. Harvey Pi ttluck and Cliff Hoelzer also received back injuries before they left. With ten first stringers returning next year and a multitude of second stringers coming back we expect to add a string of victories to the fight and spirit we now have. Bob Hninenan R. G.

Front row; Buddy Edaunda , Jiaay Pelgria, Bob Munson, Jiaay Cudahy, John McCabe, Gene Weiabien, Ken Pfeifer. These are the boys who usually spend the season watching the games from a free seat on the bench, but this year was different. Because this was one of our poorer seasons in the win column, they saw plenty of action as Mr. Chase tried to find a winning combination. The three second stringers who saw the most action were Jim Cudahy, Buddy Edmunds, andGene Weisbein. Bud incidentally scored our only touchdown in the Sewanhaka game. He was in his glory that afternoon, because he played the role of the legendary star that the coach saved for one crucial play. In the second quarter Coach Chase put Bud in at right end. In the first play he caught a 25 yard pass for a touchdown, and he was taken out for the rest of the half. Jim Cudahy, who saw plenty of action at center, got the name ‘Pinhead because of shape of the helmet he wore. Gene Neisbien at the tackle post made some of the prettiest tackles we saw all year. CLIFF HOELZER HARVEY PITTLUCK DICK FITZGERALD Big Cliff one of the mainstays of last year's team, left a big gap to be filled when he left school for the Navy after the Baldwin game. We sure missed Harvey, our triple threat back, when he left for Cornell before the Hickaville game. ‘Pitt was a whiz at blocking, passing,or kicking. Due to a freak head injury in the Baldwin game, the Sailors lost the services of another two year man. Dick was voted 'most athletic in '46- 66 Cross Country JW Handicapped by the return of only two of last year’s veterans, Oceanside High’s men of the up-hill and down-dale course had a pretty difficult season this year. The inexperienced Sailor squad also had to cope with the additional disadvantage of competing against many of the superior teams in the county. Although the team managed to secure its only triumph against South Side, while bowing to Mepham, Sewanhaka, Malverne, Freeport, and Garden City, Captain Jack Bussell achieved top place honors in five of the club's six meets. Russell, who was defeated only by Sectional Champion Bob Mealey ofMalverne in regular competition, placed eighth in the annual Sectional classic at Bethpage. Other members who earned their letters with the coveted ‘C.C.’ inscription were George Edison, Bill Barrett and Victor Crymble. Rifle The Pifle Club led by Mr. Mitchell was handicapped this year by getting off to a late start. Two weeks after the club finally got under way, Mr. Mitchell left. Fortunately, Tom Fetherston, well known OceansideHighSchool alumnus, took over to finish out the season. The matches this year were made by mail with Garden City, Valley Stream (Central),Hempstead, Sewanhaka, Farmingdale, Mepham, and Ami tyville, all members of the South Shore Athletic League. As for the members oftheclub, there were Jerry Willenkin, Willis Spicer, Bichard Gaissert, Robert Farrell, Jerry Cosby, andPat Amendolia, all returning veterans from last year’s squad. Newcomers this year were Bob Willenkin, Ed-ward Orr, Kenneth Heyder, and Don Detman. Mr.Fetherston said, ‘The men of Oceanside High School Rifle Team are of the first calibre.

The girls had great difficulty in making up their minds about the kind of outfits to wear. Finally, they decided on navy blue skirts and white sweaters. They ordered yellow 0’s' with megaphones. These letters were to be sewed on the sweaters, but they never arrived. The girls made their outfits at each other’s homes. As usual, the novice squad had a few mishaps at the basketball games. Some of the girls fell down a few times at first, and were mixed up in their timing, but it did not take them long to become precision cheer-ers. The girls and their fans were pleased with their accomplishment of turning cartwheels. Next year, whenJV’s become Varsity they will hold high the cheering standards of Oceanside High School. L. to R.

Sodemann netted a total of 688 points while the opponents netted 622 points for the season. The Sailors finished with a season record of 9 wins and 9 defeats and a league record of 7 wins and 5 losses to be in tie with South Side for third place. The highest scorer for the Sailors was Nick Cherkas with a total of 146 points. The first string will all be regulars again next year which should promise a very successful team. The season was one with many thrilling, fast-moving, and action-packed games, along with numerous upsets and countless examples of fine spirit and co-ordination so very typical of an Oceanside basketball game. long Peach was the scene of our first close, and also our first league game. Behind by one point and with seconds to go was Oceanside’s sorry plight.

An outstanding feature of our home games was the ceremony of saluting the flag, and observing the brilliant shaft of light piercing the darkness to glorify the beautiful stars and stripes, while the audience stood in respectful silence for the 'STAR SPANGLED BANNER. Dare Lazar Ed Cavanaugh J.V. Basketball ‘Victorious though defeated may well have been the slogan of this year’s jayvee basketball team. Although the squad's record of five wins and eleven losses does not appear impressive, a report from any of the spectators on the tenacity and fighting spirit of the group would far outweigh the glum looking aspect of defeat. One factor that does not show up is the fact that five or more of the squad’s games were decided by one point and many of them even went into over time. This is an example of the thrilling exhibition the squad could be counted on to give. Bob Guariglia, first string center, made the deciding point in two games on foul shots. Nippe Earle, Ken.

Wrestling The grunt and groan boys had a fairly successful season this year, having won seven matches and lost only five. Although they were handicapped by a comparatively young team and three injuries they fought through with the old Oceanside spirit and won the majority of their matches. As usual the team was expertly coached by Mr. Chase and Danny Orzano, his assistant. At the S.S.A.L. Wrestling Tournament, held at Cantral 31. S. three fellows grappled their way to the semi-f inn I s, to win bronze medals. They were Joe Orzano, Dick Fitzgerald and Asdur Takakjian. Then Steve Chohany won the south shore championship in the 128 pound class. Steve also took top honors at the tournament by being voted the out-standing wrestler.

Front Row-Jin Morse, Purdv Cole, Millie Pietroforte Although the bowling season this year was not one of exceptional success, it was not without several outstanding highlights. One of the first glad notes of the season was the breaking of the squad's early season losing streak with a surprise upset over Hempstead. The team's good fortune continued, there after, with successive wins over Faldwin, East Pockaway and Lynbrook. The win over Lynbrook was truly a splendid victory as the boys rolled a 909 series to establish a new seasonal record. At the end of regular league competition, the squad placed eighth intheSouth Shore Athletic league’s bowling standings. Another outstanding event occurred at the Sectional Fowling Tournament where Sider Jim Morse led a field of over 60 contestants to achieve the individual high series trophy and he 1ped the CtlS group to attain fourth place honors. In the scoring setup, Pill Pietroforte and I loyd ieser were among the top members. A seastn brightened by the return of several regulars and the addition of many promising new candidates was the prospect for the Oceanside High track team this year. Among the veterans retained from previous track campaigns were such stellar performers as Jar1' Russell in the mile, Ken Pfeifer in the quarter mile, Lenny Howell, pole vaulting, and Jim Byrne in the half mile. Several others including Harvey Abrams, Ken Hy-der, Donald Cullen and Bernard Levin were members boasting previous track experience. From1 the field of the challenging newcomers came other promising numbers such as Bill Barrett, Gene Weisbein and George Matthei. The team’s first meet was an encounter with Mepham and thereafter the boys raced (that’s a joke, son) through their five match schedule with ever present spirit and determination. Among the group’s opponents were squads fron Maiverne, Woodmere, East Rock away, Lynbrook anr Is lip. Further competition for the team was provided at the Class B, South Shore and Sectional meets in which the Sider track group participated. Coaching of the squad, this year, was again under the able supervision of Mr. J. Howard Cooper. This year’s captain, Leonard Howell, was chosen by last year’s lettermen.

Reconversion was the order of the day in more than one field this year and theOceanside High baseball squad was no exception. Practice began late in March soon after the first few warm breezes heralded the approach of another bat, ball and glove campaign. Coach Bob Sodemann found himself confronted with the difficult and critical task of reconstructing almost an entire new squad. Graduations had seriously depleted the roster of last year's diamond group; but the 1946 team, although missing the exceptional services of several members of the 1945 mem- bers, proved themselves to be a very determined and capable club. The returning regulars who formed the nucleus of the squad included Angelo Palmeri, Ken Badenhop, Gene Stiegerwald, Jack Lucas andArty Graham. Bob Milos, Carl Baimondi, Bill Cacace and Steve Delligatti were recruits who filled out the remaining positions. Other newcomers who helped to add to the club's achievements throughout the course of its seasonal clashes were Rob West, Don Cook, Mike Karadenes and Don Maresca. The team played a well rounded schedule of games. 76 1 Oh. my achin' back! G. Ste igerwa Id The Co-Ed Sportsnite, presented on April 11, was a fine demonstration of student organization. The Blue Team, captained by Dot El dredge and Gene Steigersald, presented the ‘County Fair as their entrance, and the White Team, under the leadership of Eileen Boyd and Dick Fitzgerald, portrayed ‘The Life of Nelly Kelly. Thirty-eight fellows and one hundred girls participated in the various activities. The girls soloed in the effective Danish Circle and tumbling, and the fellows gave an equally fine performance on the apparatus. Both fellows and girls joined in Volley-ball, Squaredancing and the 'Couples Belay.' Through the co-operation and help of Miss Lewis, Mrs. Burkhardt, and Mr. Sodemann, Sportsnite was a success. D. Fitiger Id Huba Hub 77 Hockey And to the left you’ll see--yes, indeed, that dashing, young and versatile blonde, Mrs.Isabel la 0. Purkhardt, Physical Education Director of Oceanside Junior High School. Mrs. Burkhardt graduated from Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park and then attended New York University. Upon receiving her diploma from N.Y.U., she came to Oceanside and has been teaching here for the past six years. She received her M. A. Degree in Orthopedics last summer, after six hard years, spending one sumner working in the physiotherapy ward at Hackensack Hospital. Mrs. Purkhardt enjoys working among her students, which partially accounts for her popularity among them. She is interested in all sports and at one time played in the New York Held Hockey Association. $he plays a mean game of badminton and is a crack shot in basketball. Mrs. Burkhardt, still called Miss Oppel by many, was married to a school chum, Mr. Leon Burkhardt, who accompanied her through the long weary miles of toil and labor in high school and college. He has recently been returned to civilian life after serving in the army for a period of four and a half years, emerging as a captain. Two of these years under Uncle Sam were spent in Germany, around Augsburg. Wi th only two of the ’45 hockey honor team veterans returning, this year’s team was confronted with a rather bad situation. Regardless of pessimistic views, those dashing young players went out and played their hardest atthe L. I.G.A.Playday, but it wasn’t quite enough to overcome their opponents. The result of their three games showed that they tied the All Star Team, but lost to East Bockaway and Lindenhurst. Their second chance to better their rating among hockey players came attheAdelphi College tournament, when they played against Northport, Sewanhaka and Mepham. Taking advantage of this second opportunity, they won one game and tied one, but unfortunately, lost the other. The outlook for the 1947 field hockey honor team appears tobe quite bright, with practically half of this year’s team returning, in addition to the up-and-coming Sophomores. The Freshmen also, under Mrs. Burkhardt, their guiding light, show exceptional ability in this sport.

Will they erer learn? 78 Physical education is serious business with this lady during school but come summer she happily pursues her work of keeping physically fit and combines it with her great love for traveling. One summer Miss lewis went with a group on a six weeks' camping trip across the country to California and thrilled to the adventure of real outdoor life. The group put up a tent and cooked all their meals and enjoyed every minute of the trip through desert and Fedwoods. An exciting moment came when a big bear carried off tbeir refrigerator which contained their next morning’s breakfast while they were camping at Yellowstone National Park. Some of her other traveling experiences have included, bicycling inPermuda during an Faster vacation, mountain climbing around Lake Iouise, and a pleasant bicycle trip through the New England States. On her last pre-war trip she combined profit and pleasure by taking physical education courses at the University of Colorado in the morning and enjoying a round of golf in the afternoon or a real western square dance in the evening. Miss lewis is looking forward to a summer trip around the Gaspe and a stay in Maine for tennis, golf and swimming. Basketball always seems to be the most popular of the girls' sports and this year wasn't any exception. Since one hundred-twenty-five girls answered the call it was possible to divide them up into twelve teams consisting of two Senior, three Junior, three Sophomore and four Freshman teams. The twelve teams participated against each other in a round-robin tournament using both the Senior High and Junior High gymnasiums. The girls on Lucy Ervolino's team were the triumphant victors; though the Freshmen really caused quite a bit of excitement and were looking for bigger and better things to come. The honor team which was made up by Pot Eldredge, Eileen Boyd, Frances Frey, Nora Marie Mason, NormaKenvin, JeanSyrett, Joan Shotwell, Catherine Fahy, Virginia Hill, Ethel Frey, Frances Cusano, Marilyn Turley and Barbara Ann Cousins took part in the honor team playday which was held at Ocean-side.

We should like to say we were th tops--but we weren’t, but we’re not complaining; after all, we can’t be the tops always. No, we weren’t the best and we didn't break any records, but we did have a lot of fun and everyone gave forth with swell display of enthusiasm and sportsmanship. The program of inter-school competition consisted of matches with the opposing teams of Baldwin, East Bockaway, Mepham, and Freeport High Schools. The girls also participated in the ping pong piayday which was held at Fast Rockaway. The girls who played in the first division were: Dor;s Brown, Helen Weiniger, Marilyn Peek, Vera Johnson, Connie Johnson, Simone Shiller, and Elaine Slatkoff. These girls were replaced by Virginia Chunko, Anna Marie Me lie and Jean Holmgren in the second time division. Robin Hood may have been the supremp archer of Sherwood Forest, but if he had lived today the gals on the Oceanside High School archery team would have shattered his fame and glory by their keen competition. The grand fall weather seemed to inspire the ’budding of a bounty of ’seasoned’ archers. They began the season by shooting from twenty yards and gradually marched back to a distance of thirty yards. As the saying goes‘Practice Makes Perfeet’ and thus came the longed for result-the glory and honor of winning the archery playday. Frances Frey, Carmel a Damone, Betty DeGraf, Dutch Mayer and a newcomer, Simone Shiller, took a taxi to the archery range at Hempstead in November and for the first time in the history of archery at Oceanside High School, twelve years tobe exact, we became the proud winners. Simone Shiller took top honors as individual team scorer. First Row - J oh na on , Frank, Holsfren, Peek, Shiller, Slatkoff. Second Row -Schi 1 ler , Altschul, Chunko, Johnson, Me 1 le . TENNIS V.

If you have a free afternoon in May or September, how about going over to the school tennis courts to watch the capers of the bevy of girls who grace the courts. Season-1945-46. Although there was a good turn out this year, most of the vigor, pep and interest needed to constitute a successful tennis club were exhibited by the Sophomores. There was a division of two classes, a beginner, and an advanced which was made up of the old ‘stand-bys, Toris Brown, June Duke-shire, Norma Kenvin, Joan Martin, and Betty Ann Fee. The first inter-school competition came when these girls journeyed toHewlett School, where they met the oppositioi of the South Side tennis players. The honor team participated in the annual tennis play day, emerging with a .500 average. BADMINTON You wouldn't have had any cause to be surprised if, at any time during last winter's gym classes, you had seen a bird flying thru the air, followed by shouts of hit it, ‘look out,1 etc. It would have rrteant that a badminton game was in progress. Badminton was made a class activity to be enjoyed by Sophs, Juniors and Seniors alike. The game consists of batting a bird around with a small racket. It is somewhat like tennis except that, if not correctly hit, the 'bird might go in any or all directions. Quite a few badminton champions are expected next year as a result of the class practice. At a playday, held in October at Oceanside, Helen Fahy, Dorothy Eldredge, and Jo-Beth Hollister represented the school in the badminton contest. Helen will long remember the satisfaction she gained in winning her play-off game. Mis« Lewis gives it that one. BOWLING Either the financial backing or the urge tobowl was lacking for only thirty girls were lucky enough to enjoy the brisk mile hike to the Oceanside Bowling Centre every Thursday afternoon this year. The team's high scorers, Frances Frey, Clara Kuster and Frances Cusano kept the pin boys mighty busy. The Honor Team made up of Frances Frey, Frances Cusano, Clara Kuster, Harriet Olson, Ethel Frey and Evelyn Orzano participated in inter-school competition when they met the opposition of the Lawrence and South Side bowlers, Helen Fahy helped the team to win over Lawrence. These girls also were participants in the bowling playday which was held at the Baldwin Modern Bowling Alleys and came out in fifth place. Ethel Frey took high honors as scorer of Oceanside's, team by bowling a score of 139. 81 RIDING Every Thursday afternoon at 3:30, approximately 10 girls attired in riding togs or dungarees, climbed into the old station wagon and were off to the Biltmore stables. This group included Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors, beginners and veterans. At the stables, the group was divided into two parts. One group, the experienced riders, were permitted to enjoy their ride without benefit of a chaperon. They could walk, trot, or canter as they pleased. The other section of the group was composed of the beginners. They were assigned to instructors, who taught them the fundamentals of correct posture and correct handling of the reins. They were also taught to mount and dismount without disaster. After the girls had completed their ride, they all piled into the reliable old station wagon again, some with a little difficulty, and they went back to OHS. Top Row-Anderson . Second Row -De n iiew ic h , Schroeder, Leeda . Third Row-Gold, Kerrigan, Newbold. VOLLEYBALL Anyone inspecting a volleyball schedule for 1945 might think he had suddenly wandered into Mother Goose Land. A look at the team names shows why. Some of the impressive titles chosen were Jack-be-Nimble, Little Boy Blue, The Old Woman in the Shoe, Old Mother Hubbard, Little Bo-Peep, etc. A team chosen from each class played teams from East Bockaway, South Side, Freeport and Lindenhurst. The mighty Sophomores enjoyed an undefeated season, but the other classes weren’t quite able to live up to their record. The Juniors and Seniors chose Barbara Ann Cousins, Frances Cusano, Dorothy F.ldredge, Lucy Ervolino, Helen Fahy, Jo-Beth Hollister, Norma Kenvin, UrsuLa Maher, Ellen Mischo, Lorraine Smith, Jean Syrett and Marilyn Turley to be the honor team and participate in the play-day. This was held at Mepham in December. Cuaan o, Kenrin. Maher, Eldredge. Turley. Mayer, S.ith, Couaiaa. 82 School Editor: Jean Syrett PRODUCTS To live in a democracy, to contribute to the high principle of government stated in the Preamble to the Constitution, we must train ourselves in many ways. The freedom and liberty we want so much can be very dangerous in the hands of selfish, inconsiderate, thoughtless people. Here in Oceanside High School, we try to take advantage of every opportunity to train ourselves in the art of good citizenship. In our school comnunity, we have exactly the same types of obligations and responsibilities that fall upon free citizens everywhere. Thus when we leave our school, we can feel that we are ready to take our places in a democratic society. SERVICE TO SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY We Vnow that in our school community we have produced at least the seeds of those intangibles that lead to the good life, liberty and happiness. We willingly participate inactivities that require mental and physical courage, emotional balance, and determination to see a good cause succeed. An important quality to be developed is that of leadership. The student leaders meet each weeW with Miss I -wis and Mrs. Burl hardt. For practical experience they help with junior high gym classes twice a week. Thus they’re trained in the leadership of younger girls. There are many times during the school year when the school and community gather in the auditorium. We have no buttons to push to set the stage. Behind the scene are stage hands, prompters, carpenters, electricians, curtain pullers. Many performances call for publicity people, business managers, the P.A. experts, andthemotion picture operators. In the boys’ sports department, though not compulsory, several boys aided a great deal in helping to teach some of the more difficult holds to the new wrestlers. There are unsung heroes in other departments, too. We have the typists who type cards and mimeograph notices to be sent out to the community; we have ‘Sider Press and 'Spindrift typists, and those who work for teachers. They even help out in the school office when help is needed. Yes, truly, we are willing to lend our services in countless, unheralded ways, in order to see the many good causes succeed. 84 Shirley type copy for the 'Spindrift. SERVICE CLUB One of the most active groups to be found inthePlant is the Service Club. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Fayhor the club got off toa bang-up start by fi11ing 10 educational boxes for children overseas and collecting for the Junior Red Cross Trive. On the heels of the drive came the ‘Pig Top Dance,' one of the three successful dances put on by the club to raise money for the Poster-Parent Plan. The ‘foster-parent pays $180 a year for the support of a destitute European child. Our adopted ‘son is a little boy named Aime Commeyne fro Liege, Belgium. Next, a Christmas gift was sent to a serviceman overseas and 15 red stockings filled forNorthport veterans. After Christmas came clothing drive, thentheRed Cross drive and the Lee-wnip Dance. Never a dull moment! Another dance, and the busy year of this busiest of clubs drew to a close, giving its members a well-earned rest. Officers-J. Newbold, publicity, E. Schrueder, vice pre ., I.

The girls in the homemaking classes put their instructions to practical use by undertaking many worthwhile products that service both the conmunity and themselves.In theirdaily classes the girls made such articles of clothing as dresses, skirts, sweaters, slips, jumpers, and jackets which brought forth many ohs‘ and 1 ahs of praise from their fellow classmates. Many activities were included in their program of service. They assisted in the cafeteria. They worked for the Red Cross. This year they made sixty utility bags, twelve gray flannel bed jackets, thirty-six needle cases and an afghan six feet by twelve feet in size. 86 The Sider Oct. 3 Oct. 24 Oct. 31 Nov. 25 Nov. 28 Pec. 5 Dec. 12 Jan. 9 Feb. 6 Feb. 27 Mar. 6 Mar. 13 Mar. 27 Apr. 3 Apr. 10 'ay 11 May 22 June 6 Press displays our wares to our parents.

Siders journeyed to Hempstead to take part in the All-Nassau County Band, Orchestra or Choir. These groups presented their work during 'The Arts Come to Hempstead week. The O.H.S. orchestra performed at each of the plays and at every assembly until the band came to the rescue in the spring. The newly-formed band presented a concert on a Sunday afternoon in May. The choir made its appearance singing in the Honor Society candidates with 'I Would Be True,' and 'Lead, Kindly Light.' 87 The young people of Oceanside are turning more and more to the Youth Center or 'Sailors Haven' as it is conroonly known fora source of wholesome entertainment. Robert McNally and Ronald Anderson have done a very efficient job of running the Center this year with the help of Mr. Pieper, a science teacher in the high school. Mrs. Erskine and Mr. Pourgainion, and Mr. Harter are three public minded citizens who have shown a great interest in the Youth Center. Mrs. Erskine has taken care of the chaperons and Mr. Bourg-ainion has supplied the lights. Mr. Harter has aided the Center by securing various games that have been donated by many businesses and organizations of the coimuinity. He has also supplied the decorations and has brought many entertainers, both professional and amateur to the 'Sailors Haven. Among the entertainers that have appeared there are: The Josie Rooney, Isom, LeRoy, Natalie Titus and Margaret Hamilton Schools of Dancing; William Mansfield, trick pianist; Jerry Posenbranz, magician and former U.S.O. entertainer; Milton Thomas, accordianist, formerly with Hildegarde; A1 McCloud and orchestra, barn dance and caller, and Fletcher Walsh's ten piece orchestra.

This year not to be outdone, the 'stronger sex' may have their own. A small group of boys will wear the latest spring clothes furnished by Arnold Constable in Hempstead, and strut their stuff before an all male audience in the gymnasium, according to Mr. Charles Mosback, Oceanside High School principal. There will also be a question and answer period when representatives from Arnold Constable wil 1 answer questions concerning the latest fashions and matching clothes. Actual clothes will be on hand for them to demonstrate with. However, the whole project is dependent upon the success Arnold Constable has in obtaining their spring and sunnier shipment in time as there is a shortage of men’s clpthing. The whole project will be educational and nothing will be sold, or prices mentioned. Representatives from Pace Institute and Rogers Peet have addressed the entire student body during assemblies in the past. A few years ago a similar show was held and was a huge success.

The driver could then be charged with criminal negligenceand manslaughter.

In making this announcement she gave a recent increase in the volume of advertising as the chief reason for the change. The enlarged edition created numerous technical problems for the various editors and printers as will all future issues. However, according to Martin Frey, Printing Superintendent and Paul Wittmer, Mimeo Foreman, it will be possible to readjust the printing schedule to permit this increase. In the future, eight page papers will be interchanged with six page editions as the volume of advertising varies.

'Stimulating interest in high school students to correspond with schools in other countries is an aim of the American Junior Bed Cross,' stated Miss Anne Raynor, adviser CHS Service Club. ‘This aim can be fulfilled in part through the Senior High Service Club, if it can interest OHS high school students in corresponding. The correspondence should be in the form of letter booklets about 6x9 inches, Miss Raynor said. They should contain not more than 10 or 12 letters. The booklets should be well-illustrated, including at least one letter of greeting and one letter on the school’s Junior Red Cross activities.

ANDERSON INTERESTED IN FORMING SCIENCE CLUB Mr.Walter Anderson, Oceanside High School's new chemistry and biology instructor, has varied plans and interests . First on his list is the formation of a science club. Such a club, he believes, can carry science work past the limits imposed by regular class periods.

Since he is very interested in scouting, he is Cormiittee Chairman of the Activities Compittee of the North Fast District. He is also a member of the Sagamore Boy Scout Troop which is composed of men who assist Scout Masters.
