Oceanside High School - Spindrift Yearbook (Oceanside, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1947 volume:

We are now at the point in the road of life where we shoul d be asking ourselves this question, “How can we make the most of our 1 ives? Let us recognize our responsibilities and not be afraid of them. What we do in the milestones of our youth may determine the true meaning of our 1 ives and the direction we will take. 1947 SIPIIINIDIRII IFir presents MAT Of LIVING A DOCUMENTARY FILM OF HIGH SCHOOL LIFE JOY DAVIS LINDA BECK BOB ALTMAN PEGGY KELLEY BETTY ANN FEE M.

Boardman These gent I emen are the members of the Board of Education. The Board is holding its monthly meeting. Dr.Walter S.Board-man, Superintendent of Oceanside Pub I ic Schools, is seated at his desk in one part of the room. The young nan,who is intently watching the proceedings before him, is Robert West, G.O.president. Bob will guide our story from here. Bob West G.O.Pres ident BOB WEST: Hello everybody! The meeting hasn’t started yet and I believe this would . be a good time to explain a few things to you. I am attending this meeting for the purpose of seeing parliamentary procedure in action. Such information will be of great help in our own council meet ings. This Board is responsible for a proper educational program. It is directly concerned with all matters involving the welfare of youth in school; finance and maintenance of facilities. Special meetings are called if urgent matters occur or if the volume of business is too great for a single meeting. Hr. Fetherston, as President of the Board of Education, presides at the board meeting. The meeting has begun. Let’s listen. HR. GOLDIE, CLERIC: The meeting was called to order by Mr. Fetherston, Wednesday night, January..,at 8 o’clock in the Board Room. Those present were..Comm it tees reported with recommendations.. adopted resolution for purchase of social studies textbooks-appointment of health teacher-renew lease on school store-readjustment insurance.....

Resolution-Authorizing the treasurer to negotiate a loan...... Hr. Goldie reads the minutes. Hr. Hoffman beg ins the treasurer s report. Visitors witness important communications discussion. BOB WEST: Hr. Henry L Hoffman Istreasurer of the Ocean- side Board of Educat ion, but in the strict sense of the word Is not a member of the Board. He Is appointed to office by the five members of the Board of Education. In January, Mr. Kenneth Campbell replaced Mr. Andrew Fritz who resigned early In December. Visitors are always welcome at all the Board meetings to see how the affalrs are conducted. You may observe these visitors In the Communications discussion scene. Mr. Fetherston, will you honor our friends by narrating the events in the Communications discussions. MR. FETHERSTON: I will be very glad to give everyone as much information possible concerning the items under this heading. The school board receives considerable correspondence pertaining to EducatIon,,requests, bus insurance, veterans educat ion, waterproofing, state aid, reroofing, taxes, and acknowledgements. All are given careful consideration. Each board member expresses his views and puts forth mot ions of acceptance or denial as the nature of each business problem demands......... Dr. Boardman listens to the reading of his report. noB WEST: Dr. Walter S. Boardman, as the principal ad- minstrative officer of the school, attends Board meetings and participates in an advisory role. He keeps the Board informed on school problems. Let us listen to the reading of the Superintendent's monthly report. A committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Burchards has been given permission to use the school facilities in carrying out the program of X-rays outlined by Mr. Mosback at the September meeting. Discussion is underway with Mr. Stirrat for the broadcast of our games over Station WGBB. Your approval is requested. The present grade distribution for elementary schools this year is as follows....... I recommend that Mr.Stone represent us at the State Department Convocation on........ The boiler room, in the Senior High, has been painted, including piping and boiler covering. We are having trouble burning oil in Senior High burners. Todd's men report that we have a poor grade of oil...... Mr. Goldie. Building Chairman Mr. Southard, Finance Chairman Mr. Campbell, Insurance Chairman BOB WEST: I hope that all you have seen and heard, will give you a better understanding of the tremendous task undertaken by the members of the Board of Education. The meeting still continues after Dr. Boardman's report. Since matters of personal nature are discussed, only the members of the school board are present during the Executive Session. These business men are doing everything within their power to provide the students with a broad educational program as well as fulfilling their other duties as Board members. Perhaps, the Influence of some of the decisions reached during this meeting will beobserved in operation further along in this book. By seeing such a Board meeting, you may begin to rea1ize that education is fundamental in preparing students for the art of living. Many are unaware of the influence and effects of decisions reached at such a meeting. There is the desire to give students the best education possible. TT i. C. 9 r 80B WEST: We are going to have a nice day for a change. Any Oceans ide student w i 11 tell you that we have had more than our share of terrible weather—wind, rain and snow. You will be able to see the school very soon now—just a few steps. Ah! the re stands ou r own A1 ma Mater. Don’t you think she looks majest ic in the morning sun? Let’s stand here for a moment before we go on. As I look at Oceanside High School, I can’t help thinking about the Board of Education meeting I attended last night. This morning, I see and think about the school in the usual way. But last night I had my chance to see it through the eyesof the business men, who are members of the school board. I learned a great deal and I didn’t realize how much is involved in education. I'm glad all of you witnessed the proceedings of that meeting. I think you will have a better understanding of that which is about to take place. Come along, but remember you will have to be quick or you will miss much of the flavor of teen age life. BEFORE THE BELL BOB WEST: See, there isMr. Abrams picking up papers careless students drop. Well, let's make the rounds. Oh look, there's Joe Student and Willie Stooge. Just by looking at them you can see that Joe i s the happy-go-1 ucky type and that Willie knows anything from Plato to quips. Hi fellows! What's the latest scuttlebutt? JOE: Hi! Know anybody that did their chem- istry, history, English or trig? WILLIE: It's about time you realized that you should rely on your own resources. JOE: But I do. Gads! LookatZiggie pound- ing on his locker—combination trouble-two people In one locker and one hook-short people with top lockers. BOB: So longifel1ows. I'm showing our un- known friends the life in O.H.S. I want them to see the things that happen to students within themselves and in classes. WILLIE: I must go and read my W.A.White. JOE: Say Bob, can I come with you? WILLIE: On second thought, may I come with you? It sounds remarkably interesting. ;■ . -■ - • 11 Jl ill � T Wlwlnlii Mr. Abrams picking up papers here and there. Ahl It's a janitor's 1 ife. There seems to be no need to hurry when the latest scuttlebutt is in the air. Harry Kenvin gives Don Ziemke a hand with a stubborn locker while Bob manages alone. ■Let's discuss this further in my office. Bob asked Mr.Hosback's vlews on educetion. Hr. Mosbeck gives some enlightening views o.K . on education. BOB WEST: Friends, this is Mr. Mosback, princi- pal of Oceanside High School. MR. MOSBACK: Good morning, Bob! How did you like the Board meeting last night? Did you learn anything that will be of help in the future? BOB: I certainly did, Mr. Mosback. The word educat ion seems to have a greater meaning than I realized. What is education and how is education procured, Mr. Mosback? What do you hope Oceanside students will learn through educat ion? MR. MOSBACK: Come into my office. We will not be interrupted there...... Education, education— that's abigorder, Bob. Education may be interpreted in many ways. However, I wi11 gladly give you my viewpoint. Education is training to gain many skills, discipline; and training in courtesies of life. The individuaI mayhelp others to achieve happiness if he gives his best self to the world. Reach for the education that will lead to this path. All students have a place in this world, for all types and degrees of abiIity are needed in our country. When we as teachers demand the finest thatthepupil has to offer, we have thus provided the spur that will help to make him the best man he can be.

FUNCTIONS ARTS AND CRAFTS The arts are furthered by efficient Miss Johnson and Miss Sanger, Mr. Cooper and Mr. Wallace, and the music master, Miss Hess and Mr. Day. SCIENCE vUe Ll eJicate Hiss Louise Sangery whose domain is art, was born and bred in Boston, Massachusetts. After attending the Massachusetts School of Art first normal art school ot this country, she came to Oceanside as a rookie teacher and stayed. During the year of 1932, Miss Sanger went to Europe for the Grand Tour. Lately, during the summer months, she has been working on jobs connected in some way with the subject she teaches. Besides teaching, Miss Sanger has been taking courses at N. Y.U. and will receive her M.A. this spring. BOB: Miss Sanger, we owe much to you for your great service as production and art adviser for the Spindrift. Many students have not been aware of howmuch you have contributed to the Arts of Living. Miss Sanger, tell usyouraims concerning the student in life. MISS SANGER: I have tried to open the doors of understanding to one of the most enriching types of experience—Art. Art is one of the most satisfying occupations whether an individual enters the field professionally or only uses art as a hobby. I want to develop in students an awareness of inner values In life, observation of significant form, and skill In interpreting them. My final aim is to initiate students into the perplexities of the art of today—art that has been rapidly changing from the customary form. Thank you, Bob, for listening to my view. VL Bod Hr. Charles Pei per, who's a major In physics, was born in Richmond Hill, N. Y. He attended the publ� c schools at Hamilton, Ontario and then St.Jeromes Hi gh School and col 1ege,Ricthener, Ontario. Following this, he became a student at the Immaculate Conception College, Montreal and later at Montreal University. Upon graduation, Mr. Pei -per taught at Loyola College,Mont real. After three years he came to Nassau Collegiate Center, Garden City. He came to Oceanside in I9uI. BOB WEST: Mr. Peiper shares the dedicat ion honors wi th Miss Sanger. As photography adviser, he has given untiring service to the Spindrift. He has snapped the major portion of our annual's pictures. MR. PEIPER: Well, now, I wouldn't say that! BOB: Seriously, Mr. Peiper, I would liketo know what part science plays in preparing students for later life. MR. PEIPER: As a science teacher, I feel science should build an understanding of the materials, forces and living things which make up the world. I like to have my students develop a scientific att itude. .. ab i 1 ity to make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions. Finally, I hope students will develop an ability for clear thinking which is so important today. BOB: Thank you, Mr. Peiper and Miss Sanger for talking with us. Tickets please! 30F WEST: Be it ever so humble, there is no place like homeroom. Everyday in O.H.S. is started off with homeroom period. Just ten minutes to do all your homework, take attendance and read the order of the day. Although these duties seem sufficient to gobble up the few minutes, local gossip and horseplay manage to crowd the clock. Oh! there goes the last bet 1,and as usual the stragglers are rushing to get to their homeroom seats before the teachers look for them. Let's drop inon Hiss Rapp's sophomore homeroom. It looks as if Miss Rapp is collecting Red Cross money. Everyone seems to be doing his share to make the room 100% Red Cross. Oh, Miss Rapp, how are you coming along with your contributions? MISS RAPP: The students seem to be only too glad to contribute—or else. How about a donation? BOB: I think I better leave. Now let's drop in on a little haven of peace and quiet, the cafeteria homeroom where over one-hundred seniors begin thei r day. There is Bob Milos vainly trying to read the Order of the Day above thedin and there is Miss M. Sullivan attempting to take attendance with half of the students at alien tables. Oh well, they say variety is the spice of life. The homeroom offers lots of variety. HOME ROOM CAPERS Miss Rapp getting effective results from her willing homeroom. You kids certainly bite thedust to be on time, don’t you? asses % Bob Milos Joan O'Rourke Dorothy White Jack Cavanaugh BOB WEST: You see before you a cross section of student 1ife--pictures of unknown students registering various emotions--common incidents that may be seen any day of the year in the halls, classrooms and on the grounds of Oceanside High School. It is the students’ record of their high school careers—not all of it at once, but rather in bits and little groups of students and the way they live. Human nature is shown at its best, natural and untainted by too much association with the ways of the world. The natural instincts and impulses of students may be seen throughout these stills. Students drifting through the cycle of youth, the cycle of natural freedom and carefree ways. You see students as they are, living the way they really live, learning to think and perceive and prepare for the art of living in the outer world. Each student has a part and each one steps toward his own goal. Some of the faces or scenes may show the particular problems of the students and the good and bad in daily lives. Would you like to know more about these students, and their problems? Then turn the page and a review of these people you shall see.

See, there is Robert Milos taking the floor. Sit down and let's listen for a while. WILLIE: Mr.Milos is our class president. B. MILOS: Since this is the last meeting of the year, we shall have the secretary read a summary of the year's activities. DOROTHY WHITE: At the end of our junior year, we elected officers. After the resignation of Leo Khandjian,treasurer, Jack Cavanaugh was elected to office. In September, our first undertaking was Sen ior-Sophomore Day to acquaint the sophs with the seniors, the school, and various activities. The Clutching C law, a mystery murder featuring Eileen Sokol, Don Ziemke, Shirley Gustavus, and Bob West, was staged in November. The Senior Talent Show, given in the form of a radio show, written by Norma Stenger, was a great success. Joan O'Rourke was the landlady of a boarding house and Harry Kenvin, Linda Beck, Virginia Wareing, and Betty Ann Fee were among her eccentric boarders who exhi blted the i r talents. Next came Senior Day, when the seniors took the places of teachers, janitors and the principal. Following this, was the Senior Prom with the theme, The Melody Bali. Our last undertaking in O.H.S. will be graduation. Class advisers present were: Miss M. Sullivan, Miss H.Moeller, Mr. R. Loveland, and Miss A. Raynor. WILLIE: Do you mean to say we've success- fully completed the agenda for the year? JOE: Natch! Willie. I told you that you were too much of an under-rater. After all, we are seniors! BOB WEST: Come, we have seen what the sen- iors have done. Let's go to the junior class meeting and see what's happening th re. Mr. Mosback holding the attention of the Junior Class during one of their early class meetings. BOB WEST: Now let’s look in on a junior class meeting and see what's going on. Clement Lawson heads the meeting. CLEM: Lena Prochilowill read the minutes. LENA: Our off icers were el ected at the f i rst meeting which was held on Oct. 2, 1946. Bob McNally was elected Vice President of the Youth Center and pIans were discussed for a junior dance to be held in February. On December 4, Fletcher Walsh was appointed to head a dance committee comprised of two juniors from each homeroom. TREAS. REPORT: A vote decided on $. 50 a half year for dues and they are being collected in each homeroom very satis-factor i 1 y. CLEM: Now we'll briefly review what we did during the year. There was some difficulty in gett ing the interest of theclass behind act ivit ies. The discussion of a dance and the appointment of a committee headed by Fletcher Walsh to decide on the kind of a dance was the first business. Later these committees were organized: Entertainment headed by June Gor- den; Betty MacQueen and Nancy Tenney heading Refreshment; and Decorat ions in charge of Nancy Chamberlain. The possibiIity of a hayride was discussed. A talent show was held in February with Clem Lawson as Master of Ceremonies and Fletcher Walsh and his band providing some swell music. Nancy Chamberlain, Jeanne Seymour, and Blanche Gonzolez each sang a number. Bob McNally as a Vice President of the Youth Center and Nancy Tenney worked very hard on Saturday nights. DOLORES WOLFE: We want to build up money in the treasury for a Senior Prom and then get to be seniors to enjoy our hard earned money. To maintain a high scholastic record and make 0. H.

HUGH QUINN: Yes, Mr. President. On Octo- ber twenty-third the meeting was held in the cafeteria. Class officers were elected. On December Igth the meeting was held in the gym. Bob Burt is was presiding and the last minutes of the meeting were read by the secretary. They stood approved. The meeting dwelled mainly on ideas of the main sophomore event to be held during the year. No decision was made. Respectfully submitted, HugH Qu inn, secretary. BOB BURTIS: Are there any correct ions or objections to the minutes as read? (Pause) The minutes stand approved as read. We will now have the treasurers report. ED HANSEN: Mr.President, I am here to an- nounce that our dues are set at twenty-five per half term. The dues will be collected by homeroom representatives, but at the moment we stand financially deflated. BOB BURTIS: Are there any suggestions as to how we can improve our financial condition? UNKNOWN VOICES: Dance,picnic,beach party! BOB WEST: I'm afraid we'll have to go now. I've shown you how the Oceanside student ticks individually and as a whole. The sophomores may still have a little unfinished business, but we hope that by the time they are seniors we will have a group of students that are worthy of any praise they might receive,for today's youths are tomorrow's citizens.

Now let's take Wednesday. First period we have our assembly. The band and orchest ra a 1 ternate p 1 ay ing. The program is opened by the flag salute, led by John puartrao. A Scripture from the Bible is then read by Donald Ziemke. JOE: How about the outside entertainers? BOB WEST: Oh yes. Well, we had Mrs. Clara Shen, Chinese pianist; Adele Neff, well known for her mono louges; and Dr. Alpen-fels, a famous anthropologist. They were very interest ing. At Christmas, the Nativity Pageant was produced under the direction of Miss Dorothy Sullivan. wiLLIE: I say, Bob, aren't you forgettinr about the Senior Play? The preview of The Clutching Claw was given inassembl) and the play itself was given at night. The same thing happened with the Masque Society play Spring Green. JOE: Then there was the American Legion Oratorical contest. Bob won first place and Joy Davis, second. BOB WEST: We were ente rta i ned by the talent from each class in separate assembl ies. Bob West wins first place in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. The assembly will close with the singing of the Alma Hater—Assembly dismissed. SENIORS FIRSTI H IGH SCHOOL COURSES Pat Hlrsch explains about telephone operating in English class. Hr. Chase helps to straighten out � orld problems in History class. Con Cool' outs uo a convincing argument in Speech class. LANGUAGE AND HISTORY JOE: Next stop is the English department. WILLIE: That’s where the compositions, book- reports and good vocabularies come from. JOE: Anyway, through English we 1earn to com- municate ideas to others. I remember that from Mrs. Heinley’s fourth period class. CB WEST: Don’t forget White and Macbeth. JOE: Tyrant, show thy face! Ifthoube'st slain and with no stroke of mine, ah my wife ah ah——oh, I forgit. ?0B WEST: in journalism, we write and make up our own papers besides visiting the Nassau Daily Review Star to see the paper in the making. WILLIE: |n speech classes, we acquire proper diction, poise and techniques of speaking. JOE: With all that technique my knees still shake when I'm in front of people. BOB WEST: Fellows, aren’t you ahead of me? As juniors we study The House of Seven Gables, and as sophs, Silas Marner. In senior history we discuss economic problems of the U.S. while as juniors we are concerned with politics. Ancient history occupies our time as sophs. JOE: You mean about the study of the pithup? WILLIE: Pilt-down, you bubblebrain. BOB WEST: Then, there is our Spanish course. JOE: Uno, duo, tres, tria--- WILLIE: That’s I at i n. Janet takas over In Spanish 3. Explain it aqain Mr. Muller, maybe we'll understand It this time. Watch out kids, maybe it's Uranium SCIENCE AND MATH BOB WEST: Here is the physics class. In physics we learn about the natural phenomena of daily occurrences and in 1ab,try to prove how they happen. WILLIE: By the way, Bob, have you finished the in- clined plane experiment yet? BOB WEST: No, but I’m getting there slowly. You know, there's one thing about physics..it makes you check and find out something else. It gives you patience because so many times an experiment has to be repeated before definite results can be taken. WILLIE: Let's go and see the chemistry lab--l'm sure that will prove to be very interesting. JOE: Yeah, interesting in that if you come out alive and unhurt—you can thank your lucky stars. WILLIE: It seems thattheaims ofthechem classes is to blow up labs (no excitement in ours, though). JOE: ..and the school. But, you're just a wee bit jealous 'cause you take physics and can't fool with chemicals. But it's not as bad as it sounds. BOB WEST: Well, now...we can summarize the sciences by stating that we attempt to discover the secrets of life on this planet, the possibilities or potentialities of the earth and the air so we may use these things at our disposal. JOE: Here are the math classes. WILLIE: They are the trigonometry and solid geometry classes. Besides how to figure out problems, we learn to be precise and to think in straight lines Instead of crooked ones. Hiss Rapp's star pupil takes over in Trig class. Even Mr. Waldron is stunned by Steve's explanation in Advanced. JO. Blum .ho., th. Phy.lc.el... that It c.o b. dor. Our store in the village where the Retelling classes are held. •Jackie rings up e sale In Retailing while the class watches. Evelyn Orzano takes over in Business Arithmetic BUSINESS COURSES BOB WEST: Letf s go to the store and see about the retailing courses. They are held in the store where the students learn the fundamentals of sel 1 ing. JOE: Here we are. See--over there is a real cash register and counter. WILLIE: Part of the course is having a job after school to get experience. I don’t remember how many hours per week are needed to pass. It is called a cooperative—part time retail ing training. Many students go right into full time jobs after high school and are a success. JOE: Take Jane for instance. She went out and became a clerk in a department store. How she worked her way up and now she’s the manager of the salesgirls. She’s making good money because she has an education and brains. BOB WEST: Ours is a program of actual exper- ience and practice. The students are given an opportunity to put their theories into practice and earn money, too. The students are given a better understanding of how the business world functions--in both the big firms, and the little stores. Since you've seen the retail end, let's go on to the business part. Mr.Gerek helps out in Bookkeeping or is it the other way roundT Lorraine and Jean Holmgren learn office procedure in the main office. Lorraine Smith gains valuable practice taking dictation from Mr. Mosback. SECRETARIAL COURSES joe; I can hear the typewriters goin' in Room 30U. The sound makes you think that every typist is racin' along, but Miss Mary Sullivan says it's cause everybody hitsthekeys at different split-seconds. I can type pretty good, now. WILLIE: Haw, Hawl I can type pretty good, he says. Why, only yesterday, I saw you typing with two fingers. Try and get out of that one, old chass. BOB WEST: Now, now fellows that's enough. JOE: Sorry, Bob....Say let's tell them about our clerical courses. I know—bookkeeping, typing, shorthand and secretarial classes. BOB WEST: Good idea. Because of the involved na- ture of business, a great amount of attention must be paid in learning all activities which come under heading of secretarial and stenograph ic. WILLIE: What are some of these activities, Bob? BOB WEST: You will find that keeping of records, filing, communicating of information by mail, dictation, etc. come under this category. Our clerical students go into offices, publishing houses, law firms and manufacturing companies soon after graduation. JOE: I'm learning two things through the clerical courses. First, do your job well, and work in cooperation with the next fellow. WILLIE: And don't forget the clerical coordination needed to aid in management of business. HO” WEST: Yes, that's true, too. Hiss Nurnenkamp-not so fast pleasel Shorthand 2 transcribing the day's dictation. Hiss Sanger encourages creative ability in Design wonoer wno is posing Tor ebon The Advanced Art students quietly at work, as usual. ART COURSES BOB WEST: Well, here we are at Room 301. Let's go in and see what is going on. Oh yes, here are the rep, design and mechanical drawing classes. JOE: Say those are purty pictures only they don’t make much sense. What are they? WILLIE: My dear moronic friend, those are examples of classic design. JOE: Oh, I thought it was art. BOB WEST: It is through these courses, design and also representation, that the students I earn to express their dreams and ideas through art. JOE: But that mechanical drawing—who wants to draw a mechanic? I prefer trees and flowers and things. WILLIE: For your information, Intelligence Personified, mechanical drawing offers a fi rm foundation of knowledge in the basic principles of planning and construction. BOB WEST: You seemtoknow quite a bit about it, Willie. After mechanical drawing,the students should beable to scale the highest mountain—on paper of course. While we are on the subject, we had better not forget shop. These students get practical experience constructing things of wood and metal and they also are learning mechanics. The shop is equipped with the latest power tools so that the students can be I nst ructed in how things are done in the shops that they wi 1 1 work in. WILLIE: It seems to me that these art courses offer quite a basis for work in art or mechanics. BOB WEST: Right, Willie. The seeds that may bloom to produce another Mona Lisa or Brooklyn Bridge are sown in representation, design, mechanical drawing and shop. Th« boys in Mechanical Drawing class quietly working. Interior Decoration class planning their model rooms. HOME ECONOMICS JOE: Here is the domestic science room. Miss Olga Johnson is the supervisor. WILLIE: Two subjects that are taught here are elementary clothing and home management. JOE: What is the object of that elementary clothing? WILLIE: That's to see that there will be no more insults to Beau Brummels like you. JOE: Ouch! I don't even know the guy without insulting him. Well, I think I'd better keep out of this. Girls' clothes aren't in my f leld. BOB: One of the subjects Miss Johnson teaches iselementary clothing. Let's ask Miss Johnson to tell us about it. MISS JOHNSON: I'd be delighted to, boys. In elementary clothing, the girls learn to make their own clothes. Starting from the very beginning, they first study the patterns, pin them on for size and not ice anything different about the pattern. WILLIE: Then I suppose they cut the dress or whatever they're mak i ng. MISS JOHNSON: No, Willie, they don't. JOE: Ha, Ha, Ha,—stupid. MISS JOHNSON: Then they study the material and figure out how to lay the pattern on the material correctly. Finally, they cut thedress and sew. You can seemany of the girls wearing the clothes they made. JOE: They look pretty good too. WILLIE: So you do notice some things, don't you? BOB WEST: Miss Johnson, what about home management? MISS JOHNSON: Well, the course is just what it is named. The girls study al 1 about the many different problems concerning the home. Future dressmakers in Elementary Clothing. Home Management—a stitch in time saves nine. Miss Johnson and her class take inventory. Tickets for Federal Lunch Plan sold here. GUIDANCE OFFICE JJwV Miss Klnksds and Janet take care of the morning's business. Hiss Klnkade and Hrs. Short help Linda with her schedule. Hiss Klnkade and Hr. Peiper talk things over Miss Kinkade has charge of al 1 scholastic records, past and present. When students enter our system for the first time, Miss Kinkade sends for transcripts of former work, makes programs and assigns them to homerooms. WILLIE: Miss Kinkade knows more about us than we do ourselves. BOB: Miss DeMott has a very important job with the working papers. Ho student can work without them. In some cases the type of work students can do is limited by law. Miss DeMott also makes out transcripts for college. Miss Kinkade has charge of the excuse blanks which dismiss a student from school during school hours. If a student is passing his work and wants to be dismissed from 8th period study hall, he has to bring a note from home. Diploma requisitions aremade out also. Miss Kinkade must check on all seniors with regard to graduation possibilities and letters regarding this are sent to the parents. All teachers' registers are brought to the Assistant Principal once a month and checked. These are just a few of the jobs in the vast network of education. Without this office Oceanside could not function smoothly. BOB WEST: I want you to meet Miss Alice E. Kinkade, our Assistant Principal. She can tell us more of her important work in Guidance and the great variety of duties necessary for the proper functioning of Oceanside High School. Miss Kinkade, how do you feel about your work? MISS KINKADE: I believe that Miss DeMott and I need to do our very best at all times, whatever work we are doing. I feel that I have some ideas and advice that can be of much help to Oceanside High School students. If I didn't feel that way, I should have to consider all my efforts wasted. I enjoy working with and for young people, and although many times I get discouraged, some bright spot always shows up and I know that every cloud has a si1ver I ining. BOB WEST: The guidance office which is known to most of us as t he Assi stant Principal's office, is the backbone of your courses of study. JOE STUDENT: I wish I knew somethin' about somethin'. You seem to get such a kick out of all this. I'm beginning to wonder if you're book-happy or if I'm just a dope. WILLIE: Joe, this library holds the magic keytoall the funandbeauty oftheworld. Books tell you anything you want to know about today or yesterday or thousands of years ago. I was reading recently about what can happen in the future. Why, don't you try to read some of these books, Joe? JOE: Nah! I guess I'd just rather be a dope ...it's easier. Besides, I can find out what will happen in the future in comics. WILLIE: You'll wake up some day (I hope). RECEPTIONISTS BOB WEST: Here is our receptionist. She is usually a busy girl, running errands for the office and Miss Kinkade. WILLY: She also ushers in visitors and does filing for Miss DeMott. JOE: What is the dohicky over in the cor- ner? A-what-you-ma-cal1-it? WILLIE: That is an inter-communication system. I forget what they call it. JOE: Ha! BOB WEST: That is correct, Willie. How I think we better leave our receptionist to her work. So long, for now. Hiss Eunice R. Pearson, librarian It's only three weeks overdue this time. Betty Ann Fee, one of our student receptionists. Hello—Hr. Helmcke’s office. Now we know where the cafeteria profits go. Miss Johnson and our fine kitchen staff. Be sure to pick a well-balanced meal. Miss Kinkade and Mr. Mosback tine the fire drill. BOB: The cafeteria is a very busy place during fifth and sixth periods as you can see. Perhaps, we will be able to talk with Miss Olga Johnson, Cafeteria Manager, and see the work done in the kitchen. JOE: Oh boy! Look at all the food. WILLIE: Control yourself, Joe. Stop pushing..We cannot all go through the door at once. BOB: The cafeteria serves between i 00 and 500 Junior- Senior High School pupils and teachers each day of the school year. The Federal Lunch Plan was started and worked very successfully this year.... Hello, Miss Johnson, how’s everything today? MISS JOHNSON: Just fine,.......Bob!...Some pupi Is are st i) 1 confused over the Plan and Move along peopl e. .. Why don’t you try this--|’m sure you’ll enjoy it ........... Pupils buy the tickets which give them a 29 lunch for 20 and two choices. Do look around if there’s time. BOB: Seventh period is just about gone and....... Clang-Cl ang-Ckang BOB: Au oh! That’s the f i re dri11 bel 1. We better stand right here. I can hear the students coming down the stairs, now....... There is a great importance in having fire drills. It Is extremely necessary to eliminate confusion and to teach students to move as fast as possible just in case there is ever an emergancy. Mr. Mosback and Miss Kinkade time the students with stopwatches. How long did it take to clear the building this time, Mr. Mosback? MR. MOSBACK: Exact 1y two minutes. That certainiy is much better than last time. The state law requires a certain number of fire drills during school year. We have that required number during the year. There will be another one shortly. Gene Sta igerwald Co-Captain FOOTBALL Jack Cavanaugh Co-Captain Buddy Edmonds slty lettermen returning to the squad in the football season. Among the veterans were E. Moring, E. Steiger-wald, A. Graham and J. Lucas, who were the strong found-ations of the Sailor squad. WILLIE: N. Cherkas, the only newcomer to the team, took over the left-end post and soon proved himself as he went through a very successful season. Nick is noted for hisfalIing pants which could never be kept in place because of the manager's inability to find a pair that fit him. BOB WEST: At left-tackle was co-captain G. Steigerwald, who received the honor of being chosen all scholastic by the newspapers. A 60 minute man is Jimmy Cudahy, who usually played the whole game at his left-guard position next to Gene. Looking at Ernie Moring would not give you a clear conception of the magnifleant ball player that he is. Playing with a badly injured arm, received at the beginning of the season, J. McCabe retained his right-guard post showing lots of spunk. A steady player who could be depended upon would be S. Turley holding down the right-tackle spot. Artie Graham's fine work on the defense brought him scholastic honors. JOE: At quarter-back we find Jack Cavanaugh, co-captain, who called the plays that put the Blue and White over. A1though the squad was 1ight at the half-back positions, S. Chohany and B. Gordon made up for it in fight. Ji - k Steve Chohany K IT Ed Cavanaugh L. to R. Back Rofr-T. Marsden. R. Ellison. D.

BOB WEST: As was discussed in the Board meeting, Bob Stirrat did broadcast the Baldwin game. We felt bad that news of victory could not be relayed to the fans the one time the game was on the air. The entire equipment was set up in Room 308 where the location of the room offered a good view of the football field. Some of the students sell ing t i c-kets at the gates had their portables tuned to Sta-t ion WGGB in Freeport. JOE: Ticky Takakjian and Donald Gress were the foot- ball managers and a good job they did, too. Just before the games, Ticky took the trusty little black bag out to the bench. WILLIE: The Baldwin game was a tight game especially when Harold Scully blocked a punt that Baldwin toed from deep in their own territory. However, we lost our opportunity in the next play, when we fumbled. Baldwin gome broadcast with Bob Stirrat at the mike. Football coaches-McLeon, Chase, Helmcke. BOB WEST: Mr. Chase’s prophecies of victory came true as a potent Oceanside eleven went through a very, very successful winningseason, winning five, losing one and tying one. One of the reasons why the Sai 1-ors had such a successful season was that Coach Chase bui It many competent reserves. B.Turley, who filled in for J.McCabe since Johnny had a bad arm, played inspired ball all season. Billy played a brilliant game against Malverne; breaking into the Mule backfield he blocked a crucial punt that proved to be the turning point giving the Sailors a 13-6 win. Oon Moresca, who did the converting for the Blue and White, will probably never forget the Garden City contest. Don toed the extra point that gave the Sa i tors aonepoint edge. Everyone enjoyed the trouncing Long Beach received at our hands 33-C as we retal lied for our 20-0 defeat of prev ious years. Coaches register tension over important play. J.V.

We have a grand bunch of girls cheering. We all love to do it and hope the students appreciate us. WILLIE: Don’t forget the boys. What would you do with- out them. LARRY; The boys have he I ped us a great deal. They make us a little different from every other school on the Island. JOE: The J.V. cheerleaders will have to take over next year, won't they? LARRY: Yes, Joe..and I'm sure they'll do a great job. BOB: If you miss a game, how do you feel? LARRY: We feel very bad...All the girls are so used to cheering that if we don't get to the game,, we feel let down. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS JOE: The girls on the J. V. cheer leading squad really performed like veterans on the gym floor. WILLIE: For a novice squad they certainly did exceptionally well. BOB WEST: Elvera Carosini, captain, kept the kind of outfit the girls would wear a secret until the first basketball game. ELVERA: That's right, Bob. We chose the colors blue and white. Wehadwhite skirts and blue varsity-styled sweater jackets, and white mocassins withblue wool socks. BOB WEST: You cheered for a swel 1 team, too.

Other members of the team were John Quatraro and Bernie Levin, who had track experience, Jimmy Grange, Anthony O'Toole, Jimmy King, Carl Bauch, Ted Hul1-Ryde, and Randy Or-zano. The squad started off by defeating Farmingdale and East Rock-away in their first meet. In the second meet the team nosed out ae strong Westbury team while losing to Valley Stream. After the second meet, inexperience took its toll. The Sai lors beat a favored Sewanhaka squad, but lost to Freeport, Mal-verne, South Side and Mepham. This year was more of a preparation for years to come. BASKETBALL Jack Cavanaugh co-captain Nick Charkas co-capta in Gene Steiger� a1d Ernie Moring JOE: That’s some basketball team we have this year. BOB WEST: Let's go into the gym and seeour championsnip basketball team in action. Tonight's game is the all-important second game with Woodmere to decide the league leadership. Under the basket we can see 6'3n Hick Cherkas playing one of his best qames of the year. The big center supplies the height needed to control the backboards and has the ability and experience to take ful1 advantage of it. Ernie Moring is second only to Hick in total points scored. Versatile Gene Steigerwald gives the team itsspirit. Gene didn't play inthefirst few nonleague games because of a football injury. Jack Cavanaugh and Jack Lucas are the ball handlers of the team. Both are constant scoring threats—able to make set shots and lay-ups. JOE: It's the second half a 1 ready and Woodmere is winning 21-16. Look, Nick just scored two fou1 shots. Hey, he just scored two more. VILLIE: Calm down and you will not ice that Jack Cavanaugh and Ernie Moring have registered field goals and Nick has made two more foul shots. We lead 26-21. 80B WEST: We won the Woodmere game and went on to enter the South Shore playoff and the Invitational. One of the biggest reasons for our impressive record was our reserve strength. Dave Lazar and Pat Westover are excellent ball players lacking only height. Bob Milos, Steve Deligatti, andClem Lawson also lack height but their ability makes up for it. Of course, the highlight of the season was our licking Port Washington 36-25 for the Long Island Championship. JOE: Wasn't Port unbeaten for 2 years till they met us?

They won fourteen games and lost five. Hr. William Gerek1s squad shows great promise for the 1948 season. WILLIE: There were four returning veterans from last year’s combination. They were Steve Delligatti, Clem Lawson, Nipoy Earl, and Eddie Cavanaugh. Later in the season Delligatti and Lawson graduated to the varsity squad. They were replaced by Dick Hasten and Billy Moore. Don Cook was the first year freshman on the squad at center. Tommy Gunn also saw a lot of service as a substitute. JOE: On the whole, the Jay Vees did a fine job and they are sure to see a lot of service on the varsity teams to come. Action under the boards during a J.

BOB: They ended up in sixth spot out of thirteen teams. Bob Morse has the highest average bowling score this year. JOE: Any of the fellows on the team this year, bowl for the school last year? BOB: The Morse brothers, Bob and Jim, and Purdy Cole were all on the team last year. Bob and Jim Morse are in a Pin Boy League at the Baldwin Modern Alleys. And all the other fellows do some bowling outside of school. Jim Morse is captain and won a trophy for high individual series last year. L. to R. Front-Beech.r, Woronstoff-. Heider, Willehkin.

BOB WEST: Just so we do not get off the track, we were discussing the rifle team. Matches are usually played against members of the South Shore Athletic League as has been the custom in the past. JOE: Who was elected manager of the team this year, Bob? BOB: One of our returning veterans, Robert Johnson. WILLIE: Did any of last year's members return? BOB: Yes. Robert Willenkin, Kenneth Heyder, and Edward Orr returned. There are now several new members— JOE: Well, give out with the info. BOB: Albert Anderson,Herman Moos,Edward Bennett, Robert Beecher, William Moessinger, Albert Jackson, George Crary, Walter Worontsoff, and Thomas Holoin. That's all there are, there aren't any more. JOE: A boy’s tennis team? I don't seem to recall--------- WILLIE: Sure, Joe, don't you remember it was begun again last year for the first time since '42. BOB WEST: That's right, Willie; last year Mr. Helmcke got a bunch of boys together who had played some tennis, and with Mr. Jacoby as coach, started a team. JOE: How did it make out? BOB WEST: Not bad at all considering it was the boys' first year. They defeated Lynbrook and Valley Stream, losing to Mepham, Baldwiji. Lawrence, and South Side. JOE: I kin see the fel- lows practicin' on the courts now. Wendy Clifford winds up and lata go in tannls practice. TENNIS WILLIE: I see where Wendy Clifford and Kent Coryell reached the quarter finals In the Sectional Tennis Tournament, finally losing totheGarden City team that won the tournament. BOB WEST: Yes, and 1 ast year's entire team is returning. They are: Wendy Clifford, last year's captain and best player as first singles, Bruce Fergueson and Purdy Cole as second and third singles and Dick Groce and Kent Coryell and Dick Botjer and Robert Altman as first and second doubles respectively.

Say, Bob, you probably can give us the big facts about the team since you played yourself last year. BOB WEST: Last year Oceanside won ||f tied |, and lost 6. The team was coached by Hr. Robert Sodeman. The team won the B-League Championship by defeating South Side 5-4. Cook pitched for O.H.S. They then played Valley Stream, the A-League Champions and lost 4-3. And the runs pile up for Oceanside BOB WEST: Art Graham, Our most outstanding player who played first base, batted .548 for a season average. WILLIE: Remarkably interesting, old chass. Yes, the team was certainly a—pardon the expression—a humdinger. JOE: Yeh, the fellows sure slammed that ball for all it was worth. BOB WEST: We have high hopes for the team this year. All facts seem to point that way. JOE: Tell us about the facts. Jack Lucas comas in for an easy landing at third BOB WEST: Suppose I start off by telling you about the probable positions this year. WILLIE: Proceed, my good man. BOB WEST: On 1st base will be Art Graham, and Bob West will be alternate; on 2nd base will be Bob Milos, and Clem Lawson will bealternate; and 3rd base will be occupied by Jack Lucas whose al ternate isalso Clem Lawson. Bill Cacacewillbe catcher wi th Hike Karadenes as alternate; left field will beEmie Moring with Mar-eska as a possible alternate; right fieldwillbe handled by Mareska or one of the pitchers; and center field will be held by Carl Raimondi with Dick Masten as alternate. JOE: You’ve forgotten somebody, Bob. BOB WEST: Oh, who's that? JOE: Shortstop. BOB WEST: Well shortstop is one of the probable’s im- probables. However Van Houten may fill the position left by Kenny Badenhop. Badenhop, Palmeri, Cook, Westover and Del 1 igat i were the pitchers last year. This year three veterans will return. They are Cook, Westover, and Delli-gatt i. WILLIE: The outlook is certainly very good. Some of the returning veterans of last year’s squad: Top row-Steve Oeligattl, Jiggs Van Houten, Bill Cacace. Bottom row-Don Maresca.Oon Cook, Pat Westover,Bob Milos,Arty Graham, Carl Raimondi HOCKEY Dot Johnson ready for action. JOE: What’s drawing all the attention out on the foot- ball field, Bob?

JOE: That's pretty good, considerin' goalie, Ruth Gutt- zeit, was unable to play due to a leg injury, but I understand Dorothy Collins, the junior goalie, made up for Ruth's absence.

JOE: How many gals played tennis this year, Bob? BOB: There are two groups, the advanced and the begin- ners. In each group there are U girls. WILLIE: There isn't very much to tennis.—what I mean is, tennis begins and ends with the racket—right? BOB: Oh, no Willie! Tennis is a science requiring study and practice. You must develop eye-foot coordination, and train yourself to hit that ball to the desired place—whet her slow, fast, hard or soft.

BOB WEST: Not quite, Joe, but they came in third and that's good enough for me. WILLIE: Who played, Bob?

BOB WEST: The girls really enjoy them- selves, Joe. I'm sure they don't mind a few aches now and then. JOE: I never get sore when I ride. WILLIE: It depends on the meaning of the word, semantics, you know. BOB WEST: Lucile Kerr igan proved to be such an adept horsewoman, that she was asked to ride in the horse show. WILLIE: I hope that someday there will be riding cl asses for everyone in the school. BOB WEST: That really wouId be grand, Wil- lie. Maybe someday there will be. BASKETBALL n Bm A• D r u i c« Pb j BOB WEST: Basketball is a very popular sport wi th the girls this year. Over one hundred girls part ici pated. WILLIE: How can they accommodate all of the girls. Do they have different days for them to come? BOB WEST: The girls are arranged into early and late groups. One group plays from 3: 15 to 4:00, the other from 4:00 to 5:00. This way they can all play every Tuesday and Thursday. JOE: Do they have captains for each team? BOB WEST: Yes, Joe. Offhand, I know that in the early group, Judy Heinze and Laura Nekton are captains, and in the late group, Betty Ann Fee, and Barbara Ann Cousins are captains. BOB So much earnest concentration on such a little ball-almost as bad as golf. WEST: The girls in the bowling ivity are working at it for all they re worth. This is theOceanside Bowling Center where once each week of the school year the girls bowl or, I should say-practice bowling. They thought they might have tournaments againstthe boys but it was decided thathand-icaps would have to be given to the boys. Therefore, the i dea was d iscarded. JOE: That's a swell sport. I bowled once, buttheball would creep along until about half way. WILLIE: What did you do af- ter that? JOE: | got so mad that I did what anyone woulda' done. Oropped the bal I on a man’s toe. BOB: To get back to the girls — Evelyn Orzano, Clara Kus-ter, and Ethel Frey were the top bowlers. The girls olayed Freeport, but the total (highest) number of pins went to Freeport.

WILLIE: Florence Rasch was manager of the team and made 40 points playing the game herself. BOB WEST: Eva Bamberger and Mary Hooper each made 50 points, and Ruth Shiller, Greta Johnson, and Connie Johnson were high scorers, too. JOE: The girls were on their own most of the time.

WILLIE: Yes, it was fun but the girls always beat us. JOE: Well, they get lots of practice. BOB: They meet in different groups two afternoons a week. There are eight teams in all, two from each class. The girls really practice in earnest. WILLIE: Volleyball is very strenuous. After ten min- utes I'm actually ooped. JOE: The trouble with you is you don't play but once a year. No wonder you get tired. BOB WEST: The girls practice techniques and play regu- lar games. Miss Lewis makes up a schedule so that each tear plays the others at least once. JOE: No wonder those girls are so good at it. Do they ever play other schools? BOB: Sure, this year they played Long Beach, Freeport, and East Rockaway. WILLIE: They have an honor team, too, don't they? BOB: Yes, Miss Lewis selected the most valuable players from each class. They had a play-day at Mepham High School against several other schools' honor teams. JOE: I see,’ who was on the honor team, this year?

To continue—— WILLIE: My, my, you really used a big word. You better sit down, Joe. It might be too much for you. Well, perhaps, there’s hope for you, yet. JOE: Everybody sure was surprised to hear that the sen- iors were defeated by the freshman 10 no less, in interclass softball games last week. BOB: On June 6, the Softball Honor Team was chosen from girls who competed for the honor with enthusiasm. Congratulations are in order for three underclassmen who are candidates for the Honor Team, Joan Bossi, Lena Spatunuta, and Karen Chunko. WILLIE: Where are the girls going for the Play-Day, Bob?

Robert West, Virginia Warning, Tlcky Takakjlan, John Quatraro, Elizabeth Pantke, Betty Ann Fee, Joy Davla, Jean Bohn, Linda Beck, Robert Gordon, Harry Kenvln, Pat Meehan, Joan O’Rourke, Robert Mlloa. and Frank Schatzleln BOB: The auditorium is dim and hushed. The choir softly sings Lead Kindly Light. Miss Kinkade arises and begins to call, to the stage, those students chosen for the Honor Society, chosen on the basis of Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Character is the force in one man which gives him individuality and personality. It is the product of constant action, daily striving to make the right choice. Scholarship means a love of I earn!ng. We continue to learn even after school days are over, for education ends only with life. Leadership is sacrifice, ..the wi11ingness to yield one’s personal interests for the interest of others. A leader has confidence in himself and dares to go forward when others hesitate. True Service is the willingness to work without glory for happ iness and efficiency of both pup i I s and teachers. During t he winter months, the Oceanside chapter attended the Honor Society inductions of other schools suchasEast Rockaway, South Side, andMalverne. Ocean-side was also host to several Honor Society chapters from neighboring schools. Betty Ann Fee-vice-president.

JOE: Hey Bob, you d idn't ment ion the president..the G.0.has a president don't it?... is it Truman? WILLIE: Listen bubble brain, Bob West is the president of the General Organization. Why do you think he gets up and leads the assembly? JOE: Aw, I thought that was because he was head of the G.0....What are you hitting your head up against the wall for?.....Did I say some- thin’ wrong or somethin'? WILLIE: Don't mind hammerhead, Bob, tell us about the various duties that the General Organization performs. BOB WEST: At the beginning of the year we all put our shoulder to the wheel and all but a few students bought G.0. tickets during the drive. WILLIE: Bob, what's the advantage of buying a G.O. ticket for f ifty cents? BOB WEST: You save about twenty cents on admission to each sports event and other school affairs that you attend. The money goes toward buying equipment and other things to help improve the school. JOE: Why are you always behind the windows when they sell t ickets for sports? BOB WEST: The G.O. has charge of the sale of ticketsfor all sports events. A group of students volunteer to work w ith us to sel1 the t ickets with the least trouble.

BOB WEST: We have comm i ttees to take care of all such matters. John Quatraro heads the activepub! icity committee. Assemblies are guided by the able committee under the direction of Elizabeth Pantke. The Bicycle room committee is also under her direction. The committee that patrols the hall eighth period is efficiently led by Eugene Steigerwald. WILLIE: I can still see the girls keeping the bicyclists from the south gate. They were very firm about the ruling. JOE: Hey! don't forget the Youth Center. Ain't that got its own president. Oh, maybe that is Mr. Truman. BOB WEST: The youth center has an administration of its own. The senior president is Carl Raimondi and the junior and sophomore vice-presidents are Bob McNally and Ted Marsden. They are doing a great job. WILLIE: Yes, the G.O. has maintained superlative effi- ciency in all fields of endeavor. JOE: And what's more, they've done a good job in every- thing they've started.

Day, did a grand job playing for football games and assembl ies. WILLIE: We did considerable systematic exercises for pro- ficiency and received a great deal of pleasure for our efforts. JOE: Why don’t ya just say we practiced a lot and had fun doin' it. You keep talkin’ like that and people will begin to think somethin's the matter with ya. WILLIE: I’ll ignore that remark, old chass. To continue ....We have struggled to arrive at the scheduled time (8:15 A.M.) for practice. We, also, have section classes once a week. BOB WEST: The band had its biggest thrill waltzing down the football field, to the tune of The Bicycle Built for Two, in the i r bl ue, gold, and white uniforms, knowing that theycontributed to the success of their team. JOE: The teachers were annoyed by our Friday practices on the field during September and October. I still remember the Boom! Boom! Rat ta ta tat! while I was in study hall. BOB WEST: Even though it took a lot of time and effort they really had a thrill from working and playing together. Practising for the Memorial Day Parade. .t I ns, S-ith.

I really don't suppose they could be the new track team, do you think so? BOB WEST: The above debate was just the witnessing of the girls' choir going to rehearsal. They are under the capable direction of Miss Pauline Hess, who conducts the annual spring concert each May. Then the girls assemble in a beautiful array of colorful evening dresses and sing like the angels. The group was so large this year that some had to come on Friday morning. Gunvalaon, Pratt, Mil!

Ah, I can still hear the melodious strains of the Christmas carols from backstage. BOB WEST: During the months, the Tuesday group had alter- nating accompanists. They thought this best so that the work would not fall on the shoulders of one girl. JOE: Some of the pieces didn't sound like much when each part was sang separately, but when together—oh, boyl WILLIE: That little verb which you murder so innocently is sung not sang. JOE: Well, anyway, they don't murder it. H-Ha! Ahem Well I guess I better let that one go. Phew. I wonder if they would consider takin' me in for pass in' out the music? Boy, what a harem. WILLIE: I hard 1 y th ink they wou Id take anyone with a voice like yours. It sounds like water gurgling down the kitchen sink. Better stick to just 1istening to them. Listen, isn't that Stardust they're singing? Sounds real pretty, doesn't it. Hey, stop drooling. BOB WEST: The choir varies its program every year, try- ing to include a religious song, a love song, a patriotic song, and a novelty number. Oceanside can really be proud of its choir.

JOE: Yeh, and it helps you think better, too. BOB WEST: The club is made up of juniors and seniorswho meet every week to discuss current problems. The officers are Walter Keller, president: Elaine Slatkoff, vice president; Shirley Gustavis, secretary; Bob WiI — lenkin, treasurer, and Harry Kenvin, reporter. BOB WEST: Oh, there's Walter, now. Maybe he can tell us a bit about the club's various activities. WALTER SELLER: Well, besides our regular discussions, concerning everything from the Negro problem to all the troubl es of the II. N., we have debates with other schools. We visited the Security Council and Secretary of the United Nations at Lake Success on February 11. SCIENCE CLUB JOE: Say, Mr.Ritzman, now are you coming wi th the Science Club? MR. R.: Well, Joe, we have ten members, and have great hopes of furthering their scientific talent. WILLIE: Isn't your cl ub affi1iated with the Science Clubs of America? MR. R.: Yes, Willie, we're one of the 10,000 clubs in the United States. BOB WEST: Do you have any aid from other organizations? MR. R.: We're aided by the United States Fish Service and Forest Service and National Tuberculosis Association. These are called co-projects. JOE: Gee, I wish I was in the club, it sounds swell. MR. R.: We plan to do everything from col lecting specimens to taking pictures of disections. WILLIE: If you're so interested, Joe, why don't you go talk to John Short. He is president of the club. He can tell vou all about it. Science Club-V. Watte, M. Tipaldo, J. Rattlesdorfer, Mr. Ritzman, J. Short , S. Sofia and F. Catazero.

The Sider Press reached its tenth year of publication, the Spindrift began its seventh year with a greater understanding of how to organize and produce a better book with each passing year and Business had a tremendous selling campaign that had never been seen before. The editors felt that their wobbly legs were part of the past and perhaps, now, they could see where the road of journalism would lead them. The previous years of experience and mistakes had given forth a firm foundation from which they could begin to build a greater Publications. The Managing Board, whose members are the ranking editors of Sailor Publications, meet every Monday of each month. Perhaps, through an Open House in the spring, they would beable to express these thoughts to the public through an exhibi tj an exhibit to show their work, for which they receive more complai nts than praise .... not to glorify their work, but to give the good and bad points in their journalistic enterprise. What fork in the road do we take now? Mr. Loveland, Jean Riesenberger and Harry Kenvin L. to R.-Hooper, Kowitt, L. ProchMo, H. Prochilo, Cousins, Maher, Neatly, Guttzeit, Miss Sullivan, Wolfe, Davis, H. Smith, Kle in Ristucci, A. Smith, Keyes, McMannon CI RCULATI ON ADVERT ISI NG BOB: The Circulation Department, headed by Ruth Guttzeit and Dolores Wolfe, serves the yearbook as well as the Sider Press. Without the circulation division, these publications could not exist because a major part of the financial burden rests here. Circulation is responsible for the sale of 400 yearbooks each spring. JOE: Did I tell you that I was a salesman this year? I'll have you know that I sold 60 copies an issue at my regular post....50 yearbooks, too....What are ya poking me in the arm for, Willie? WILLIE: You forgot to say that the price of the Sider Press rose from 3i to 5 and why. JOE: Gads, that's right. The Managing Board passed a re- solution raising the price to to make more money. They'd like ta buy a new printin' press. BOB WEST: That's right, Joe. I think we better move on boys, we have a lot to cover yet. However, before we do, I would like to say that both business branches are gaining valuable experience which no one will be able to take away from them and which will hold them in good stead in the coming years. 30B WEST: We include ads in both publications because we do not receive an anunity from the school, but most of all it has been our belief that the staff would gain much more from the experience and responsi bil i ty of planning a sales campaign and financing a major portion of pub 1i cat ions. JOE: Gee, Betty Loveland and Mari Iyn Savage sold the most ads. Quite a team. BOB: The ad rates are low for we have found no need to raise prices. Our budget always balances, but if an emergency arises, that is a different story. We would think twice before making such a move for e draw 50 of actual business from the village of Oceanside. WILLIE: Each salesman has a different district which he- covers thoroughly and each has a different approach. Experience shows that the sophs are the better salesmen. Seniors catch the disease known as superiority. JOE: Don't forget to tell 'em that we have a special staff who make advertising layouts. They're necessary because we don't have a professional make the layouts. 1st ro� -R. to L.-Shiller, Pettit, Savage, Loveland, Shelley, Mendelsohn, Wsrdrope, Doerflinger, envln, Rlesenberger, 2nd roe-Cormay, Groaning, Saffa, McNally, Pratt, Nielson, Keyes, Mr. Loveland. 3rd ro� -Turley, Jacobs, Scalzi, Haggerty SPINDRIFT Production Staff-L.to R.-Hanslaik, Kelley, Meeker, Fee, Sletkoff, Wardrope, Lang.

BOB: Yes, pictures and copy are beinjj pasted on the final pages of the dummy. The dummy will be sent to printer very soon. WILLIE: The Spindrift' is certainly our home, eh, Joe? See, there you are on Page 8. The cartoon artist, A1 Anderson, performed a cum laude set of comical cartoons which demand imagination and thought. BOB: Ticky Takakjian is busy with the popularity poll and the master title page and Peggy Kelley is drawing the division pages of the yearbook. JOE: Ha, ha...Every body sure is havin' a bad time with the glue.... It's everywhere.... They look like they're swattin' the air...The stuff dries as soon as it comes out of the bottle....When it gets stringy it settles like cobwebs over everything. WILLIE: The staff started to plan the 19 7 yearbook last June. JOE; What! I don't bel....How come? BOB: From previous years, yearbook staffs found that the sooner the work was started the better. If the theme of the yearbook, the editor and the staff are chosen, the number of pages in the annual, and the photographer selected, it will be easier to begin the work as soon as the new fall term begins.

This accomplishment was rarely achieved in the past. BOB: Yes, the staff is proud to say that we have done what was said to be improbable. The Sardou Studio took the senior portraits and 40 group pictures. Linda Beck and Joy Davis, Associate Editor and Editor-In-Chief, respectively, raced around like Flash Gordon collecting people for those group p ic-tures and setting up schedules. JOE: Gee, we're gonna be enclosed in a swell lookin' cover this year....Ivory and gold....Yes, ma'am.... BOB: Hiss Sanger and all the yearbook people have really worried over the theme of this annual. The theme is based on a documentary film of life of Oceanside High School. It's a big job to make sure that the theme isn't lost in the copy, pictures, advertising, or art. WILLIE: Very few people realize what a tremendous res- ponsibility these editors shoulder. BOB: ...Also the work they do, too. They will see how much they have grown in experience when the annual finally goes to press. They will have a better understanding of what it is to be patient and to stick to a task until it's done. In thei r hearts, they had fun do ing it.

BOB WEST: Yes, Wednesdays the lone mimeograph machine prints away for all it is worth so that the printing staff, under the direction of John Quatraro, printing superintendent, can finish before 3:05. Butthemach-ine is not really that loud, is it? JOE: It doesn't sound like a machine, but it still is very loud. WILLIE: Bubblebrain is referring his remarks to the eja- culations made by the cheerleaders practicing their cheers outside this chamber. BOB WEST: The make-up staff, headed by Bob Pittluck, make-up editor, has the real struggle to meet deadline and still go home before dark. Every issue causes him to tearhishair out wai t ing for copy that was due long before, but somehow he always manages to finish the day's work before he leaves for home. JOE: Hey, how about thewriters. Ain't they important? BOB WEST: Of course they are important. In fact, more than half of the members of the Sider Press work on the 1iterary end ofpublications. The news is gathered by various reporters under supervision of Norma Stenger, news editor. This year the Sider Press increased its size from sixtoeight pages. Host of the additional space is taken up by new features and better sports coverage. The feature departments, under the guiding hand of Virginia Wareing, copy editor, has added an advice to the Lovelorn column, called Uncle Harry, and a friendship column. Sports edi tor James Grange isgiving the paper its most complete coverage in its history. JOE: Hey, Bob, don't forget the big shots. BOB WEST: Simone Shi 1ler,Editor-in-chief and Mike Kara- denes, managing editor, superviseall the work and wr i te the editorial page. They are the most important members of the paper because they can do any of the numerous jobs needed to publish the paper. JOE: What was that party for last fall? BOB WEST: This year the Sider Press celebrated itstenth birthday. Walter Keller edited an anniversary supplement and the event was celebrated by a party. This year the advertising staff, which is separate from the Sider Press staff, sold a record number of ads. To accommodate the ads the size of the paper was increased.

The fact that it's the only one has no bearing on the matter. WILLIE: First, the Masque Society gives one play a year. This year they presented Spring Green by Florence Ryerson. The leads were: Ann Bur- chards, Linda Beck, Don Ziemke, Walter Keller, and Vi rg inia Wareing. JOE: Yeah—and then they have a rugged campaign fer boosters. Ya git yer name printed on the program or somethin'. All I know is that about 20 different people came up and asked me fer a quarter. They must think I'm rich or somethin'. WILLIE: They compete to see who gets the largest number of boosters. The winner receives a $|.2C ticket to a show in Hew York. BOB WEST: We are proud of ours at present. That is, three people who through the various activities of the club earned enough points for a Thespian Pin. We also belong to the Rational Thespian Society.

Every new mem- ber has to call the old members Mr. and Miss and do whatever they want. Then they have a party. BOB WEST: Often, at the tryouts for the plays, amusing things happen. At the tryouts for Spring Green, we had to come in from the right side of the stage and be happy and then come in from the left side and be sad. Host students were overjoyed because they passed every subject and were sad because they had failed. Now, when Elaine Slatkoff came out, she was happy because she had received her auto license and she was sad because she had smashed upthecar. When told to act as she would if her daughter had told her that, Elaine said, Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But don’t give up; try better next t ime. She thought Miss Sullivan meant her daughter had failed in school, but Miss Sullivan meant the smashed car. JOE: Remember the time in The Clutching Claw where the gun jammed and wouldn't go off. The maid on stage was supposed to be shot but the shot never came. Miss Sullivan, ontheother side of the stage had a new $2. 5C record in her hand and not knowing why the gun shot didn't come, threw the record on the floor. JOE: ily car has broken down again. I wish I had a chance to fix it. BOB: You would ifyou were in the in- formal shop class. WILLIE: That’s right, Willie. They did metal, wood, electric, machine and automobile work. JOE: I heard about how they fixed up an old Model-A engine over there. BOB: Sure. The class was organized to supply a shop period wherein the boys could useall the faci 1 i t ies informal Iy and also acquaint tnemselves with types of work they hadn't done before. JOE: I heard that some of the boys built cabinets, fixed radios, and rade parts for their cars. BOB: They did these and many more things and had a swell time doing them in this informal class.

They filled 10 Christmas boxes, produced an assembly program, presented the Broomstick Ball on Oct.25th; they sold stationery and candy at the football games, ran the Red Cross Drive, filled 15 Christmas socks. JOE: One of the girls collected $10.00 at Night School one night for those Christmas socks. BOB: I think I heard about that. Oh, yes, they sent oranges to South Nassau Hospital, sent a Christmas package to Aime and sent a box of clothes to him also. WILLIE: Bob, tell our friends about Aime.

The climax of all the weeks' planned activities isthe crowning of the May Queen on Friday evening. An all girls' assembly is held on Wednesday, a fashion show is presented sometime during the week, a mother-daughter-faculty tea, and teacher-student sports play-day. JOE: The girls live in horror of the day when make-up is taboo, but they seem to laugh, too, when the kidding starts. ENTERTAINMENT Simone cutting the cake at Sider Pres party BOB WEST: The Sider Press celebrated its tenth year of publication this year. The staff had a big party with eats and entertainment. JOE: Jokes too—I’d wager. WILLIE: Well, we had a nice time. JOE: Didn’t you see it in the papers? There were pic- tures and stories about it. WILLIE: I say, Bob. Please don’t forget about the spec- ial Supplementary we put out. That took pienty of t ime and work. It covered our ten years of publication with a summary of things that went on each year. BOB WEST: Near the end of the term, there is a Sailor Publications Party. Then, both the staffs of the Spindrift and the Side- Press have a party. WILLIE: Besides plenty of refreshments, a guest speaker, entertainment, and dancing are further attractions.. Then the students with enough points earned through holding various positions are presented with their s iIver or gold pins. JOE: And don’t forget about the Youth Center—where the gang meet every Saturday night. WILLIE: First, I think, we ought to give the credit to Mr.Harter, who is instrumental in bringing in the outside entertainment and organizing home talent shows. JOE: They have dancing, cokes, candy and ping pong.

BOB WEST: The White Team presented the South American Way, and the Blue Team the Byrd Expedition. Of course, both entrances were secrets until thebig night when the judges made thei r great decis ion. JOE: Miss Lewis, Miss Kulynitch, and Mr. Helmcke gave a great deal of help for its success. Hold it steady, girls. DENOUEMENT BOB WEST: My friends, we have come to the end of our journey. Your journey has ended, but we in Oceanside High School have only begun to travel the roads through life. We wanted to show you some of the lessons and experiences in high school which were designed to prepare us for the art of living. Whet her we recognized them depends on each Oceanside student. Some of us have matured in one way and some in another way, but each of us has grown in some way. Sometimes we have not recognized or realized the changes. We have 1ived through fast moving and changing times in high school. Much hi story has been made; we have lived through a very great struggle for peace, and have watched the tide of politics change, and scientific developments come over the horizon. There is much to do in order to find our place in a very complex world. Memories will be important to us many years from now and we have had many of them come and go. Songs, movies, That’s a joke, sonl Kilroy was herel Open the Door..... all these we worked to death; our championship football and basketball teams, our dances, our newspaper and yearbook, and the memories of class room 1 i fe. JOE: Yeh, you have something there. I can see now what you are gettin’ at. WILLIE: Well, Joseph, I believe you have grown by just coming along with Bob. BOB WEST: Goodbye fellows and lots of 1uck.
