Oceanside High School - Spindrift Yearbook (Oceanside, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1948 volume:

To you, we give the Spindrift hoping that it will hold for you reminders of assemblies and study halls, Sportnite and pep rallies, football games and scholastic achievements. As you browse through the book, many of these memories will be relived. In short, we present the 1947-1948 high school year. Produced Published by SAILOR PUBLICATIONS of the Senior High School Helen DeSio Editor-in-Chief Dot Mendelsohn Production Manager Margaret Hansalik Editorial Manager Nancy Tenny Literary Editor Liz O’Connell Literary Co-Editor Mary Jane Wardrope Art Editor Loretta Marcus Photography Editor Judy Lesnou Advertising Editor Mary Hooper Business Manager OCEANSIDE HIGH SCHOOL Oceanside, New York 4 The 1948 Spindrift is fondly dedicated to Mrs. Frances W. He in ley. As literary advisor she has stood valiantly by the enthusiastic corps of writers as they have tried to express in words, the activities, atmosphere and spirit of Oceanside High School, 1948- In her classes we experienced some of the most valuable hours of oir lives. During her long term here as teacher of some of us, and friend of all, Mrs. Heinley has embodied all those characteristics we like to think of as typical of CHS. In the following pages we shall present scenes from our day to day activities that e want to pres«r ve in our memories. If we could televise these scenes, we should have a perfect record of all that has been near ard dear to us. Since science of 1918 does not make this practicable, we shall assemble pictures of activities that we consider ideal for televising. We shall accompany these by a running commentary sir h as might be used by a telecaster to make communication comolete. We have been so rmr ha part of all that follows, that many of us have been unable to recognize the purposes of all that we have 1 one. No doubt, you other readers, teachers and parents, will see better than we, the direction we are going, the lessons we have learned . Later, in retrospect, we can supplement our words ard pictures by the use of memory, the television of the mind. 5 BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Canpbell Mr. Southard Mr. Goldie Mr. Syrett The Board of Education is an important factor in school life. It is made up of five local citizens who are responsible for seeing that a proper educational program is carried out effectively. Qie night in September, the officers of our various school organizations attended a Board Meeting in order to see parliamentary procedure in action. It was a revelation to note the speed and acumen with which business was dispatched. A great deal of the Board's problem study is done through the committee plan. Members serve on two and three-man conmittees covering the ma j r fields of school service. They study problems and make recommendations which are passed upon by the Board as a whole at regular sessions. The Board meets every first Wednesday of each month. Special meetings are called when necessary or in the case of unfinished business. Into their hands fall the responsibilities of maintenance supplies, the employment of efficient faculty members and officials, establishing school policies, and the supervision of Oceanside District Evening School. In retrospect, with this page before us, and our trusty television of the mind, we shall truly appreciate this phase of democracy as it functions in education. Mr- Eetherston And new I should like to introduce the television audience to Dr. WalterS. Boardman, Superintendent of Schools, and the part he plays in maintaining this educational system in ac cordance with the highest ideals and standards. Dr. Boa rdman is Oceanside's representative of the New York State Department of Education in matters concerning the State's interest in local education. He works closely with the Board of Education and aids in carrying out their policies. It is his task to advise the board on state requirements and local progress. D . Boardman is active in community affairs. He serves in many capacities in youth and adult organizations. Because of his untiring work in both community and state affairs, he has become known as a leader of remarkable quality, as his keen devotion to his work proves. 6 1 ■ Lena Prochilo taking dictation from Mr. Mosback.

Although their work goes on beyond school hours and their re war dado not balance the high calibre of their work, they continue to do their best and to strive toward their goals of a more harmonious and beneficial educational system. In order to accomplish all that they 1 o, it is necessary for them to operate with a measure of well-ordered teanwork. To achieve this team work each member of the faculty must give his fullest cooperation. This cooperation has been readily achieved under the capable leadership of O.H.S.'s princi pal, Mr. Charles R. Mosback. During the recent shortage of teachers during thewar CHS’s teachers were affected ard had to iedouble their efforts.

Many of the teachers who teach the more difficult subjects of math, and the various divisions of science have classes after school for those students who are low in their class work or who are interested in getting more advanced information in the subject. Many of the teachers have clubs such as the Service and the Forum Clubs. Tht «se meet after school and sometimes have activities that take place at night at which the advisor must be present. Besides their extra-curricular activities there are numerous papers to correct and the next day's work to plan for five or six classes. Most of the teachers teach more than one subject or many divisions of one subject. Each of these require a different plan of stidy. The lunch period is divided into two 'shifts and the teachers are on duty to keep the hall clear of students until five minutes before the classes are dismissed.

For one day the seniors completely ran O.H.S. The theme of our prom, which was the main event of the year, was a tropical island and a moored boat at one end of the gym. We entered through a thatched hut to see a large moon and silhouetted palm trees in the background. There was also a lighthouse in one comer that blinked continually. Don't give in, Mary Jane SENIOR The Senior Class of 1948 planned its goals early for the yea . Senior-Sophomore Day was a huge success. The purpose of this was to acquaint the new students with high si hool life. They were welcomed to assembly and sat beside a senior throughout the program. Speakers werec ho-sen to represent all co-curric-ular activities in sc hool. Some senior boys ve re picked as ushers to seat the students. The class partic ipated in the local T.B. Association X ray Survey and ‘Back toSchool Nite sponsored by the P.T.A.

We made all the scenery and stressed publicity. We held our Honor Society inductions on December 17, 1947 and March 1948. Another of our projects that was great fun was our trip to the U.N. We went by bus in separate groups of thirty and forty so that each group would have something different to report on. Every student who made the trip realized how much that organization means to the world.

The Senior Talent Assembly, the theme of which centered around a ship, certainly shcwred off the swell talent we had in our class. Tbe boys presented a skit and some of the girls sang. A group of the fellows formed a choir. With the Sider Press Senior Issue and the pis sen tat ion of the class gift, our activities came to a close, but the friends we made and the work we accomplished, will always remain in our hearts and in the years to come we shall always look back with pride to our class.

In the field of sports we find George Kenny was co-captain of the basketball team and Dick Abrams was one of their leading lights. Joe Trenz and Mickey Cunnings shared honors as cocaptains of our J.V. team. Showing school spirit were Barbara Turley and Lena Spadanuta as Varsity cheerleaders. Lee Shelly did her bit as co-captain of our blue and white garbed twirlers. Some of the juniors favored the more literary aspects of O.H.S.

Talent in other directions was shemm by Frank Catanzaro who plays the organ on WCEB for the Windsor Ave. Bible Church,and Joan Hattlesdofer who showed acting ability in the Senior Play. The high aims of our middle classmen were expressed by their president in these words, ‘Next year we shall be senitrs nd we hope our plans will be bigger and better than this past year. The road to our futures, whatever they may be, is before us and the training and experience obtained in our past junior year has molded us and readied us for this road.

The 6ophonore class boasts quite a few personalities. Did you know that Richard Scharf, alias Red, made the first Junior-Varsity Sailor touch dcwn of the season? Robert Overton or Buzzy left Oceanside High School for Germany in December. He and his mother, brother, sister, went to be with Mr. Overton, who is serving in the Army of Occupation. We may have a second Anna Pavlova in our midst, namely one Marie Alice Nanfeldt. Marie has been studying ballet since she was five years old. You all probably know about the traditional Senior-Sophomore Tay which is held every year to welcome the new sophomore students into the high school. The senior officers have been very kind to the good sophomore class this year. The Dong Island Girls’ Association of Oceanside has three high rating girls (in points). Terry Arrandale has 275 and tying her isDottie Matthei with 275 good points. Then runner up is Ncra Nilsson with 260 points. Seems the girls have been better in the sports than the boys! Sophomore girls havewonall their basketbal 1 games except the one they tied with Southside. They also won all their volley ball games. High Honor floll also exists among the sophomores. There are Marion Mainelli and Marcia Babbige to represent the class. Our own Kenny Fischer is one of those varsity basketball ushers at home games. Robert Weber, our baseball star, was one of the best pitchers and hitters for the baseball season. Sophomores taking it easy in homeroom. 36 JUNIOR ACTIVITIES Under the guidance of their officers and advisors the junior class made a wonderful beginning this year by proving that a class meting can be made to function in an orderly manner beneficial to all. The president of the class stated that the meetings were well coordinated and smoothly run and all suggestions were heard and welcomed. The first things ac complished by the juniors were the election of class officers and the setting of the d uas at $.25 per half year. The officers e lected were Jerry MacNa 1 ly, president; Bob Burtis, vice president; Mary Marino, secretary; and Jirrcny Damone, treasurer. At a meeting in October, the class decided to have a Christmas Party and the date was set for December 18. Corrmittees were set up with Marion Pettit leading refreshnents; Beverly Cryntole, entertainment and Alice Ann Arnold, decorations. A large crowd turned out to enjoy the dancing and food in the balloon bedecked, gaily decorated cafeteria. Mr. Poleshuk made a success of the evening when he donned a Santa Claus suit and handed out gifts. A talent show in March brought out the best in our middle classmen. Gilbert Brown favored us with his piano renditions of a few of our favorite semi-classical music. Marion Pettit and June Yeransian were accompanists. Violet Miller placed her aocordian.

CLASS Our class of 50, the sophomores, is indeed a powerful class. President N d Carter, cr Ned, tohis friends, stresses at every class neeting that, ‘This has got to be a powerful class.' If we are not strong, it will not be the fault of our officers. Capably filling the positions of presicbnt, vice president, secretary, treasurer and G.O. representative are respectively: Ned Carter,Ernest Arnold, Theresa Arrandale, Marion Mainelli and Helen Mott. In September of 47, when we were really green, the seniors came to our rescue with senior-sophomore day.

Arrandale OF ’50 To make sure that all talent in O.H.S. is unearthed, an assembly program is presented by each class. Among our performerrs were Ned Carter and his trumpet, and Dorothy Kunkle in the role of a vocalist. Our main strength, however, seems to lie in sports, as our members are making themselves known in that department in no small cfegree. Our regular monthly meetings were a cauldron of enthusiasm and suggestions. We were guided along our rugged path by Miss Bapp, chairman of our advisors, and Mr. Gerek and Mr. Proctor. We dec id ed to tax ourselves to the extent of fifty cents to be hereinafter known as dues. Marian Mainelli made commendable progress. Trea . M.

ART AND ECONOMICS Design and representation are the two beginners of the art course. Design is nothing more than dec ora tive drawing . It teaches symbolism, repetition, balance ard :olor matching. Representation consists of pictorial 1 rawing . During the first year still life and landscape drawing are perfec ted. Advanced art is a continuation of the two elementary courses mentioned above. Here students delve deeper into the subject of delineation. Color and attractive color combinations are particularly stressed. Elementary clothing and inter ior decoration are two constituents of the general heading of hcmemaking. The very names of the courses give away their fundamentals. Elementary c lothing stucfents learn the types of fair ics, their texture, to understand and make use of patterns and to sew simple garments. Interior decoration is the stirly of color harmony, furniture arrangement, types of furniture, houses and roofs. Both these subjects play an important part in the lives of most students. Hone Management t.laaa at work 42 Exploring the Unknown-Physics Class Mr. Proctor and his 'Buddy biologists. SCIENCE AND MATH Science is one of the most fascinating subjects there is, and as you walk into the various science classes, you will find some part of our ever day life being explored. Biology classes ac filled with specimens and pictures such as, al 1 types of wi Id life, plants, charts and diagrams of one celled animals, diseases, etc. Chemistry, of course, is more of what the foundation of substances are and what makes chemicals act as they d o. Physics is a part of science which deals with mechanics heat, light, sound rays. This is the most interesting division and helps you to understand much more of everyday happenings. A person, who not only understands, but enjoys science, has a very precious gift. As we peer into the various classrooms we see many puzzled students. Say, these-must be our math wizards! Elementary algebra is the first course of the hopeful Einsteins. This lays the groundwork for future classes. In plane geometry students frantically try to solve the mysteries of lines, circles, and angles. Traveling on we see kids drawing graphs and finding ‘unknowns in intermediate and advanced algebra. After all this the wizards may look forward to a struggle with solid and trig., but in the end this is really only the beginning. And be sure to read the labels twice!! — Chen. lab. That intelligent look--geometry class Confusing, isn't it, Clem? Advanced Algebra Ah, sweet mystery of life--trig. 43 Mud pies and cat’s cradles. Belated Arts Related arts is the class for those who possess creative minds and skillful hands. It is one of those few ‘different classes where students can easily combine work and pleasure. Weaving, leather work, clay modeling ard drawing are only a few of the many interesting subjects taught in the art room. General printing, shop, related shopdrawing and photography are four more of the aforementioned ‘different classes. The general printing course, which is taught to iidividual groups consisting of about five students, takes up the study of stenciling, silkscreen, mimeog aphy, ditto, block printing, bookbinding and setting type. All groups w r k together, in the same room. Photog'raphy is one of our newer courses. Students become adept in the art of taking pictures, developing negatives, printing pictures and enlarging. They are provided with a wel1-equipped dark room and such other facilities and materials necessary to their work-. Most of the fellows finl that shop is one of their favorite classes. General wood, general electricity and related shop drawing are three new branches of the shop class. Sixteen projects are now required of each student d uring the year. After the sixteen are completed the boys have the privilege of making whatever they wish for their own personal use. The fellows who are in general wood plan on buiIdinga boat this spring and selling it for cash to the highest biddo- , and the general electr icity boys expect to visit a fac tory, also in the spring. Last year, the Ford Assembly Plant in New Jersey was chosen for the tour. As proof of the fact that shop is a favorite among the fellows, they have given up fifteen minutes of their lunch time to lengthen the shop period. Picture making today--photography Watch your fingers, boys! APPLIED ARTS What have we here? Printing class Another busy day in Related Shop Drawing. 44 HISTORY AND LANGUAGES The toilsome march of man from deepest ijpiorance and superstition to our present day stage of civilization, is the subject matter of history. As sophomores, we strive with ancient world history and our ancestors in many a corner of the globe. As juniors we are concerned with politics and in our senior year we discuss economic prd lems of the United States. The primary function of Fnglish is ccmnunication. We write in order to convey our ideas to others; and we read in order to obtain ideas of others. In addition, we read the Times and other newspapers correctly, we learn how to criticize a boo ' and to improve our vocabularies and reading speed. We a Iso explore occupational opportunities. Journalism, which is usually taken in our junior year, prepares us for work on the Yearbook and Sider Press, and helps us to better understand the newspaper. Speech class gives us the proper poise, diction and the finer points of speaking and thinking. In the foreign language department we have Spanish. Besides learning proper grammar and good vocabulary, we learn the customs and histories of Spanish speaking countries. Many of the students carry on correspondence with Spanish students of other lands. 'latin is a language dead —but not to these students, many who will use it in the careers they pursue. Caesar in second year, and The Orations of Cicero in third take up most of the time and interest. Mrs. Short and Miss Paynor try their hardest to make the students realize the value of a ‘dead language . Parlez Vous Francais?' Under the able direction of Mr. Pieper we study French granmar and learn to read from the great literature of France. Napoleon couldn't hare done better. Remember, words are only symbols of ideas. English IV. ‘Parlez vous Francais?1 You don't? Well, we do. Just the day she didn’t have her homework done.... Latin II From Mexico City to Madrid via Spanish III class. 45 Shhhhh! Bookkeeping genius st work. Hey, wait for me! Shorthand II BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Because of the vast, complex nature of our present day business world, a great amount of attention must be paid to the keeping of books, the cormrunicating of information by mail, the filing of material and legal work. The courses designed to meet this particular call for workers are secretarial practice,shorthand,typewriting, business law, and bookkeeping. Because nearly thirty per cent of Oceanside's students go into some phase of retail selling, a broad program has been designed to instruct individuals in the distriibution of products. The vocational training called ‘cooperative part-time retailing includes the study of the text and actual work experience. Wheels of Justice Business Lew 46 Bookworms in the library LIBRARY AND CAFETERIA 'GOOD BOCKS are rare gems.1 The library is open to those who like good books and enjoy the many treasures hidden in them. All through the year it truly serves as a constant aid to students. Our library has many books which are arranged according to the Tewey Decimal System We have all the standard reference books, cir -rent magazines aid pamphlets of all kinds. The large windows, which allow plenty of light for readers, the sturdy furniture and the pleasant atmosphere which prevails, all add to the excellence of our library. Fcr several years Miss Pearson, our ever-ready librarian, has kept scrapbooks containing newspaper articles having to do with Oceanside High and its students and alumni. Thecafeteria is a business in itsel f, serving between four hundred and five hundred junior-senior high school students and teachers each day throughout the school year. Miss Olga Johnson is Cafeteria Manager and Mrs. Osterheld and her assistants, Mrs. Golder and Mrs. Mathews prepare the food. Students sell lunch tickets, act as cashiers and help in the kitchen. The various sections of the orchestra and band meet once each week for individual instruction in their respective instruments. Pupils are excused from their regular classes to take advantage of this instruction. Strange sounds issue from the music room HEALTH CLASSES-JANITORS Probably the most popular place in the school is the gymnasium. The girls' classes practice techniques in games such as volleyball, basketball, and softbal1. The ooys' classes concentrate mostly on tumbling, wrestling, are! apparatus work. The health classes under the direc -tion of Mr. McLean study the physiology of the body and other factors that lead to health. The students of Oceanside High are certainly physically fit. The study hall, which is supervised by various teachers is held in the cafeteria. It provides peace and quiet so that those students who wish to study may do so as easily as possible without being disturbed or interrupted. Students may also sign out to the library. In this way they have every opportunity to make use of school facilities to aid them in their work. Our teachers and students add to the friendly atmosphere of 0. H. S. and to complete the picture there are five friendly custodians: Mr. Terrel 1 superintendent, Mr. DeMott, Mr. Abrams, Mr. Shattes, and Mr. Gritman. They are always seen smiling at their work, or perhaps, even whistling the latest tune on the ‘Hit Parade , or chasing the Yearbook Staff out of the art room and the typing room when five o'clock nears. EDITORS Betty Mae Anderson Pat Gold Marie Prochilo HONOR SOCIETY It is the mcrning of December 3, and a very solemn ceremony is about to take place in the auditorium. In a few minutes eight pupils will be inducted into the Oceanside Chapter of the National Honor Society. To qualify for this, a pupil must have maintained an eighty-five average; hermist have beenanable and willing leader inmost activities. His character must be of high degree, and he must have been a good citizen of school and comnunity. Earlier in the year,the faculty chose twenty pupils whose names wer e submitted to the senior class. In this way, the eight were selected, but their names have been kept secret. Their parents have been notified, and they are now in the audience. The choir under the direction of Miss Hess is singing 'Lead Kindly Light and the curtain is opening on the stage. Present members,Lena Prochi lo, Clem Lawson .Anthony Barbaro in black robes, and holding lighted tape-s are ready to speak on Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service.. .Miss Kinkade now steps forwaid to call the names, and a hush falls over the assembly. Fred Brockmann answers the call, takes his place on the stage with his newly acquired lighted taper. He is followed by Nancy Chamberlin,Dorothy Collins,Stephen Delligatti, David Ditmars, Catherine Fahy, Jeanne Seymour and Dolores Wolfe. The eight proud and happy faces can be seen in the flickering light of the candles they hold as they raise their right hands andr epeat the pledge that makes them members. As tne curtain slowly closes, the choir softly sings ' Fol low the Gleam' and 'I Would Be True' as the student body silently leaves the aud itorium. The Honor Society real ly took shape this year. The officers are: President, Clem Lawson; Vice President, Lena Prochi lo; Secretary, NancyCham-berlin; Treasurer, Jeanne Seymour. In January, they organized The Midnight Club which supplied food and dancing in the cafeteria after basketball games. Officera-standing: Lawson, Prochilo, Cha erlin; seated, Seymour.

Sailor Publications guided by eight teachers of the Ocean-side faculty combine two of the sc hool s journalistic activities, the Sider Press and Spindrift. While the newspaper and yearbook have served as mediums to inform, entertain, and influence the student body, Sailor Publications have also served as a business enterprise, an educational laboratory, as an agency for improving school public relations, and as a work shop for emerging leaders of democracy. Sailor Publications provide co-curricular work for all journalistic minded students. In addition, it provides a wide variety of training in art, stenciling, mimeographing, makeup, printing, transcription, writing in such fields as news, sports, and features. Through all this training, students learn to equip themselves for future positions.

And dan't ooma baok till they re aaldl The triangular construction of Sailer Publications provides for monthly meetings of a managing boaid at which time the problems of the Sider Press, the Spindrift or business are considered and settled to everyone's satisfaction. Our 1946 president, FredBrocVmann, carried the job in his able way in the best of parliamentary procedures. Under his gavel, many major issues were discussed and settled. Among these were: Who should attend the convention at Syracuse? Hew could the increased costs of production be met without increasing the prices of the publications? Who should receive awards, and why should they receive them? And, a big question, was Mary Hooper trying to do too many things at once? Yes, for Sailor Publications, this year has meant the solving of many problems, and much enjoyment while working 5 SIDER PRESS Literary Staff - Meet that Headline H iter-in-Chief.................................Fred Brockmann Managing Editcr............................................Bob Pittluck News Editcr......................................Anita Alpers Press Relations..........................................David Ditmars Copy Editcr...............................................Ruth Shiller Feature Editor....................................Anita Mar Vo Makeup Fditcr...........................................Hervey Kimball Sports Editcr....................................James Grange Mimeo Foreman...........................................George Merry Business Manager..................................Mary Hooper Advertising Manager.............................Marion Pettit Assistand Advertising Manager.....................Mary Conway Advertising Editcr.............................Marilyn Savage Circulation Manager..............................Lena Prochilo Assistant Circulation Manager............................Susie Barrett Advisors: Muller, NunnenVamp, Sanger, B.

Here is the answer in just so many photos. When the television theme was hit upon, action began under the supervision of the Editor-in-chief, Helen DeSio and Production Manager, Dorothy Mendlesohn. A tirade of assignments fell upon various editors after being okayed byMiss Sanger, faculty advisor in charge of the yearbook. These assignments were in turn handed dewn to staff members with definite deadlines. Copywriters, under the guidance of Mrs. Heinley brought pictures to life while the Art Department turned out the layouts,cartoons and lettering. They sent continuous orders lost cr incorrect orders presented momentary problems,an! ■ absent staff members slowed down production somewhat. Overcoming these obstacles, conscientious effert, a cheerful.fr iendly atmosphere and the helpful hand of our advisors brought the '48 Spindrift to life. to the Literary Depar tment with precise specifications.

Fran the beginning of the year the orchestra has worked and waited expectantly for this--- the Spring Festival-—their finale. This was not the only activity of this group. It supplied music for assemblies and its performances between the acts added the final touch to the plays of the year.

The theme was a candy shop in which all the d ifferent kinds of candy came to life. Tie White Team's picturesque entrance portrayed their conception of ‘Little Old New York . GIRLS’ WEEK Glamour Plus 'Raggedy Ann' was the name bestowed upon 1947's Girls’ Week The weaker sex of O.H.S. attended school dressed in dainty pinafores and aprons. With the enhancing effee t of pigtails adorned with colored bows, the girls retaliated good-naturedly. The secoid day, slacks, jeans aid shirts were the predominating outfits. ‘Comfort was the excuse for such happy-go-lucky attire. A softball game ensued with teachers and seniors siding against sophs and juniors. Amid cheers, grunts and cracking of joints, the faculty won. A banquet in the H.S. cafeteria followed the game. The senior girls participated in a fashion show sponsored by the Towne Shop of Freeport. School and suomer clothes were modeled. As always, Girls’ We«k proved to be a success and a lot of fun for everyone. The New Look 57 MASQUE SOCIETY 58 For the Siders who like acting, dramatics, the smell of greasepaint and that certain feeling of anticipation that comes only to those who are in the wings waiting for the curtain to go up, there is the Masque Society. It is comprised of students from all three classes. New members are initiated at the beginning of each term, and for the next week can be seen praising Allah, helping in the cafeteria or helping the janitors. Every year the group takes a trip to the city to see a Broadway production. This year the selection was a Saturday matinee of ‘Brigadoon. In order to defray the expense each member had to sell four boosters for the play or pay his own way to the Broadway production. This fact did not de ter enthusiasm in any way. Under the direct ion of Miss Dorothy Sul livan the group contributes to the life of O.H.S. by presenting a play. This year the play presented by the Masque Society was ‘Spring Fever by Glenn Hughes. The plot involved two college boys. Their trials and tr ibulations inacollege boarding house made tb play a truly enjoyable one. It was mainly a comedy with a bit of mystery and a sprinkling of romance. The college professcr was portrayed by E. Fogle and supporting him were G. Phelps, D. Ditmars, E. O’Neill, A. Winkle, J. Pattlesdorfer, J. Lawysr, J. Riesenberger,R . Stcry, A. Purchards, M. J. Wardrope and A. Ireland. Every detail of the production from ushering and making posters to sell ing tickets and prompting was carried to completion by the members of the society. Everyone worked in earnest at the rehearsals held in the cafeteria or the auditorium, but there were lighter moments too. Ann and Mary Jane are still laughing over the time a slightly inebriated gentleman wandered in and serenaded the players. He was soon shown the i cxr by Miss Sullivan and Mr. Sayre. The people who appeared on the stage were by no means the only important people in connection with the play. H. D 5io andD. Mendelsohn with their group of ushers; A. Marko and her ticket sellers; M. Prochilo with book in hand prompting, and the boys hanmering, sawing, painting and papering, hauling and moving furniture, provided very necessary background without which the play would not have been the success it was. Memories which will always be dear to their hearts are the eternal blaring of the tuba backstage, the mad dash to get something to eat before ‘you’re on and then getting ‘on with a mouth full; members bringing Miss Sullivan the focd she gave up for Lent; the priceless change of expression on her face during a rehearsal, and Miss Sullivan in a plaid jacket she borrowed from one of the boys because she was cold . The aim of every Masque Society member is to become a Thespian. Toqualify, each person must have 10 points. These points are earned by appearing iw plays or serving on committees. This year the suoc essful candidates were: A. Rurchards, J. Battles for fer, M.J. Wardrope, J.Riesen-berger, D. Ditmars, G. Phelps, E. Fogle, E. O’Neill, R. Story and A. Ireland.

FORUM CLUB The question,‘Should there beaRoy s' W-ek at Oceanside?1 is now being lively discussed by the group of juniors and seniors in 210, the room of their advisor, Miss Moeller. The members are required to have an interest in good-natured word slinging and a fifty-cent piece ready for financial obligations. Other topics up before the club have been ‘Tuesday Night Basketball Games,1 and 'The KeytoWorld Peace . However, these are not the only activities of the group. In October they visited the U.N. and February found them selling O.H.S. book covers to finance a tr ip to N.Y. By the way--the outcome of that discussion is that they have decided to put articles in the Sider Press and have gone to Mr. Mosback to present their views. So let's move along. Watch John’s ears light up! SCIENCE CLUB It's 3:05 in room 308, and Leonard Howell, the president of the Science Club is calling the meeting to order. The secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Wal-broehl, is reading the minutes and the plans and projects of the club for the year. We can hear her as she reads: Our last meeting of the Science Club was taken over by Robert Ficken, vice-president , who took over LeonardHowell's place as he was absent from school. We have many plans and projec ts to complete this year,such as taxidermy, establishing an aquarium , making models of the human head and mouth from plaster of paris. Some of the projects planned are making a visit to such places as the American Museum of Natural History, the Zoo, Rockefeller Museum, and the Botanical Gardens. VARSITY CLUB The 1947-48 Varsity Club under the supervision of Mr. Helmcke, and headed by the president, Bill Turley, move! on to new heights. Among the highlights of the 1918 activities were the moving pictures shewn at the meetings, the appointment of student gym leaders, for the Oceanside Junior High School, and the faculty vs. varsity basketball game. All of these things have tended to give ample opportunity to develop potential leaders of boys; this, by the way, is an open career field. The faculty vs. varsity basketball game drew a full house, and to the surprise of the crowd, as well as to both teams, the faculty proved winner by four points. Mr.R octor showed his ability as guard by agi lely c limbing to the top of backboard and preventing the varsity from making baskets. Don't we look athletic! 60 MATH CLUB ‘The meeting will please come to order can be heard as we roam into 123, the rendezvous of the Math Club. It was here that the inspiration of the basketball pencils was bom to help finance the annual dinner held in May. Another yearly project of the group is the party given for new members. Their motto seems to be ‘Keep 'em smiling and they certainly uphold it. John Short, president, keeps order and conducts the business meeting with the helpful efforts of the other officers—John Swanson, Pat Gold, and Robert Weber. Miss Rapp, the club’s advisor, requires all members to be math or exmath students. A sense of humor is also a valuable asset. From what I hear, a good appetite would not be out of place Mias Rapp and her mat hematic ally-minded Math Club members. either. SERVICE CLUB The Service Club, a branch of the Junior Red Cross, is composed of about 15 girls. The only requirement of the club is that each person must participate in two or more club activities during the year. This year the club again renewed its contract to care forAime Commemye. Aime is a small Belgian boy whose parents were killed during the war. In order to secure the money for our quarterly payments, the club sold candy at all the home football andbasketba 11 games. Also, the club has been selling stationery, and personal labels. Early inOct-oberanAime Day was held, the proceeds of which went to aid our quarterly payment. At Christmas time, and also, on Aime’s birth! ay, packages were made up to send him. The girls feel that their efforts are well rewarded when they receive letters of thanks from Aime. Besides supporting Aime, at Christmas time, the girls bought oran s for the children in hospitals and some of the members made stocking dol Is for the small girls in our hospital. Two dances were held this year, Spring Time and the St. Patrick's Day Box Social the proceeds of which went towards Aime. The club sponsors the annua 1 Red Cross Drive and a Iso the March of Dimes.

The Service with a Smile. 61 Dona Id Cook Next we shall see through the aid of our television screen how the student administration of Oceanside operates. The General Organization is the definite name of this student governmental body. It illustrates our educational system’s way of instructing its future citizens in the workings of democracy. Fach student homeroom elects one representative. These twenty - two representatives form the outer council. The inner council is composed of seven members consisting of the president of the student body,vice-president,secretary, treasurer , senior, junior, and sophomore representatives. Problems are brought before these twocouncils for settlement and debate. The inner council hands down the last decision. There are two faculty advisors, Miss Eunice Pearson and NV . Ford Stone, who aid the councils whenever necessary. Dorothy Collins Inner Council: Doug Heine, Helen Mott, Anthony Barbaro, Dorothy Collins, Lena Prochilo, Steve Delligatti. 62 ORGANIZATION The functions of the G. 0. include the supervision of co-curicu-lar activities, investigations concerning the school, thehearing of money troubles, the mediation of school troubles, and the arranging of assemblies. These functions are designed to carry out the G. 0.’s objectives which inc lucb the smooth running of co curricular activities, themeeting of the demands of administration or students and the creation and furthering of co-curi-cular activities of the General Organization. To be a member, a student must purchase a card for 25$. This allows himtosee plays, sports events, and concerts at a reduced rate. The revenue obtained from the membership drive is then used for purchase of records for dancing, to pay assembly expenses in the case of outside entertainment and other items that add zest and interest to the co-curricular program. There, very briefly, we have the out line of student government, a government which exists so that the student body may be assured of a voice in the school's operations and a well-rounded after school prop am. Students and teachers alike recognize the need for the G. 0. and are eager to help it. Aathoay Barbaro, Lena Prochilo Outer Council: Back Row: Ernie Arnold. Ned Carter, Don Mareaca.

The cheerleaders wore traditional sailor uni forms of navy blue and white. The girls were captained by Jeanne Seymour and their co-captain, Mary Jullig. The glamorous appearance of the girls at various sports e-vents added much to enthusiastic teams and crowds. Meyer, Yeransian, Bennett, Admiral, Casey Thonet McDowell, Arrandale.

The visiting Oceanside Sailors have a time out. During the time I will go over the scoring of the game. In tha first quarter, theBeach-ers marched down field and scored on an end run. Minutes later with the Beachers against the goal line, John McCabe broke thru the line of Long Beach and smeared an attempted end run for a safety. This closed the gap to a four point lead for Long Beach. In the second quarter with Long Beach once again against the goal line, George Kenney nabbed a kicker for another safety. .Time is in again, and Oceanside takes over. They shift to the right. Lucas receives the pass from center; he fades back,spots Wacky Lucas and passes; it s complete on the40. The shift is again to the right as J. Lucas gets the snap fran center. Again he fade and spots Wack; he passes.

Back Roe: W. Lucas, Lawson, Groha Ellison, J. Lucas, Muhlstack. This year's picture of the football team does not shoe three of the more important players. They are Steve Cho-hany, Ernie Moring and Andy Spadanuta. They did not appear in the shot because of injuries they received before the Garden City game when the picture was taken. Chohany and Moring were injured in the Baldwin game--Spadanuta was put out of action in the Long Beach competition. All were out for the rest of the season. Their loss was a great blow to Sailor chanaes for a winning seascn. Chohany and Moring alternated as signal callers. Moring was the field general and Chohany was the blreking back. Spadanuta was a valuable reserve tackle whose loss left the Sailors without a n placeroent. 67 CROSS COUNTY Hup two, hup two- The teams line up on the starter's line.

The sun is shining bright on Oceanside track. In the crowded stands one can feel the cool breeze that often blows across the field. Qi the far side of the field one can see the pole vaulters smoothly vaulting over the crossbar. To the right is Hal Scully who is throwing the shot-put. Scully was last year’s, class B champion. Far to our left one can see the high jumpers twisting and turning over the bar. In front of us are the hurdlers and the milers. This is what ore sees on the Oceanside campus during the spring track season. 68 Oceanside entered six men—Vogl, Davison, Swanson, Turley, Keegan and Muhlstock. All with the exception of Turley and Muhlstock were defeated in the pre liminaries. The Oceanside team was headed only by Mepham, Bayshore, Amityville and Baldwin as far as team honors were concerned. They came up with a total of twelve points, seven of which were amassed by Muhlstock, four by Turley in placing second, and one by Tom Vogl who pinned Calvin Beals of Garden City in the preliminaries. Our menc ompeted this year with the best wrestlers on Long Island. (vv) Oceanside High School's wrestling team placed fifth in the Mepham Invitation Wrestling Tournament which was heki at the Wellington C. Mepham High School. The highlight of the Sailors’ good showing was Charlie Muhlstock’s victory over Don Bush of Amityville in the finals of the unlimited division. Bill Turley of the Sailors reached the finals too, but was defeated by Bob Snyder of Mepham by a 9-1 score. The mat-men from Qreanside entered the Long Island Championship Invitation Tournament after finishing the South Shore in a sir cessful campaign. That's our boy Charlie! Well, anyway Oceanside is on top. In the Class B South Shore Athletic League Wrestling Tournament held at Lynbrook Oceanside placed second to Long Beach in team scare but won five individual championships and placed one boy second and two third. The champions were: Donald Hull-Ryde 104 lb. William Evelly 113 lb. William Lucas 134 lb. William Turley 155 lb. Charles Muhlstock and Harold Scully co-champions in the heavy weight class. The secord place winner: Thomas Vogl 128 lb. class. That looks like A1. Bailey was pinned in his first match. Davison, who was impressive in the South Shore, won his first match but lost the following ore . Vogl won his first but lost the second as did Davison. Bill Turley, South Shore champion wcr ked his way into the finals and lost,to place second.

This sp ing brought along a hopeful repeat of last year’s Class B Championship club. Don doing a little practicing. The pitcher who was most responsible for the success of the team was Bob Weber, the boy who has plenty of speed ard a good curve. The team depended upon the hitting pow-we of Maresca, Lucas, VanHouten, Earle and Weber. The only first string men from last year that were on the team were Jack Lucas and Bob Weber. Oaeanside's baseball team had plenty of high speed and carried through an exciting year of first class baseball. 72 Str... ike! Praotioa makes psrfoot There it goes . .. The boys tennis team, under the supervision of Mr. McLean, is composed mostly of underclassmen. They have been very success ful in their matches against other schools. Even though the members of the team are young, they are very enthusiastic and enjoy the game tremendously. The benefits derived from this popular outdoor sport cannot be overestimated . Back rowjBrandon. Mr. Cohane, Aakerdall Front rowi Gibney, O'Connell, Nordhausor The three crack shots in the club are Jack Frandon, John Gibney and Ed Askedall. The other members are Angelo Scarenzi, Guy Washburn, Dave McIntyre and Bill Costigan. They are shooting forN.B.A. medals. Next year they plan to resume competition with outside schools. Mr. Cohane set up a standard fcr next year. He says that anyone who can t make ninety shots out of one hundred to hit the bul1 s eye standing up will not be a Hewed on next year’s team. With such a standard the new team promises to be a good one. TENNIS The Oceanside High School Rifle Club is a member of the National Rifle Association, and as a club, it replaces the rifle team of previous years. It is led by Mr. Cohane, teacher of science in Junior High and an experienced nimrod fr om ’way back. There are three superb shooters in the Bifle Club and five others who are nearly as good. They practice all year round many afternoons after school. There are two rifle ranges which may be reached through doors in the boys’ locker room. Bangl Raok rowj Taylor, Barrington, Mr. MoLean.

Heins with a close follcw-up, Jimmy Hoffman. Wes Bideaux was the most improved bowler this year and if he continues to improve at that rate he should be up with the best in the county. During this year’s bowling season sportsmanship was str es-sed even though the boys strove to win. The Keglers competed in the Long Island Bowling Tournament which was held at the Heineman’s alley in Hempstead. The league was composed of Rockville Centre, Long Beach, Ocean-side, Baldwin, Hempstead, Sewanhaka, Mepham, Freeport, Lyn-brook, Valley Str earn, Woodmere and Malverne. Oceanside's team was composed of four sophomores: Bideaux, Hoffman, Pel 1, Fl-dridge, and one senior, E. Heins. From the start of the season the team made marked improvement, and next year should see Oceanside at its finest. Edward lb ins is the only man that the varsity team will lose as a result of graduation. All of the others should return barring all unforseen events. Under the able direction of its coach, NV . William Gerek, an experienced bowler himself, the squad should improve steadily and interest in bowling should increase in Oceanside. NV . Gerek is capable of instilling in his boys not only the will to win but also the spirit of sportsmanship which is characteristic of al 1 Oceanside athletic teams. At any rat wewish Nfc . Gerek and his prodigies all the luck in the world for next year’s season. Make it a strike. GOLF Some form. Top row: Edvard Salmons, Alden Sager, Jack Brandon, Mr. Gerek. Bottom row: Forrest White, Leo Pietroforte, Ronald Ames. F ore! Golf, although not a strenuous game, requires just as much physical and mental strength as necessary to anycompetitive sport. It is one of those few social games that retains its interest in our adult lives. O.H.S. has always been rather successful in regard to its golf team. This year is no exception. The ’48 team is composed of four veterans: G. Ceignan, ft. Ames, L. Pietrofort and Joe Zartun. This same squad did very well in last year’s matches and equaled their scares this year . M- . William Gerek, a former N.Y.U. captain,is the golf coach. Competitive matches were staged against Lynbrook, Southside, Lawrence, Hempstead, Baldwin, and Sewanhaka. The Oceanside Country Club provided a satisfactory home course for Oceanside. 74 GIRLS’ SPORTS HOCKEY Miss AnnCavanaugh, assistant girls' gym teacher. This November day is warm and balmy, just perfect for hockey. We are at Central High School in Valley Stream and the Oceanside Honor Team has played two games. The girls have been here since 9:00 this morning and will stay till 2:00 this afternoon. Their scores so far have been 0-0 with Central and2-0 in favor of Lynbrook. Their third game with Baldwin is now in progress. The score is 0-0. Just a moment—yes, here they come to resume their game wearing blue tunics. The ball is now moving swiftly up and down the field. The ball is now in Baldwin territory, but here comes Oceanside with a fast defensive movement. Oh boy! What a terrific whack Joan Casey gave the ball. Oh, oh, Baldwin got the ball and it's in the goal. Wfell, that's that. Baldwin won, 1-0. That was quite a game; Those players from Oceanside put up a terrific battle and it has been a rousing day here at Central. Mias Ruth Lewis, girls’ gym teacher.

The class teams played four schools, namely Baldwin, Long Beach, Lynbrook and South Side. Of these games the freshmen won two and lost two, sophomores won three and tied one, juniors won four and the seniors won one and lost three. The Honor team journeyed to Me pham for the basketball Sports Pay. Sharing a bus with South Side was lots of fun and the peppy songs and cheers were really ringing out across Sunrise Highway. At the Sports Day, Oceanside won one and lost two. Everybody worked hard and deserved the oranges presented to both the winners and losers.
