ADVERTISMENTS............90 To many Europeans the average American high school student is a stereotype—a gum snapping, saucy, bobby-sox brigader, a perennial picnicker, a feather-brained adolescent. Spindrift, conscious of this mistaken idea, invited Joan Florstedt, educated in schools abroad, to visit Oceanside High School and become acquainted with our students. The classes and activities she visited suggested that the average OHS student is serious and eager to learn, and yet is not merely a digit cowed by the strict European standards of discipline and apprehensive of the faculty. Instead, the high school student carries out the American spirit of initiative, of democratic discussion and restrained freedom in the setting of a typical school day. While one visit will not solve the problems of the world, “With malice toward none With charity for all With firmness in the right” With under5 landing, — Peace ■ ' «� - ?- many such visits might easily develop into a broad band of understanding, for the globe is made up of Joans, of high school students, of persons in communities. Even as one visit by a European corrected one person’s false conception about American students, so we hope that other visits expanded on a world-wide basis might change other mistaken ideas. Perhaps in this way, this dark world of fear and ignorance might be illuminated. One visit is a pin-point of light. Millions of such visits should not only dispel the terrifying gloom of a weary world, but also ignite a flame of understanding, which would light the world first to knowledge, then to confidence and finally to lasting peace, the distant hope of rational man. 5 Mr. Fetherston The Board of Education is an important factor in school life. It is made up of five local citizens who are responsible for the establishment of a proper educational program. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Meeting monthly are: Mr. Fetherston, pres.; Mr. Southard, vice pres.; Mr. Goldie, clerk; Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Syrett. Also present are: Mr. Hoffman, treas.; and Dr. Boardman, supt. Dr. Boardman, well known superintendent, is active in many community affairs.

There is no better place for you to meet our Senior Class Officers and Advisors than at one of the regular senior class meetings. First, there is Bob Burtis, the witty, hardworking President calling the meeting to order, and Bev Crymble, the congenial and ever-ready Vice-President, who carried on her duties most efficiently during the past year. The Seniors are very proud of Carolyn Bennett for the splendid job she did as the Class Secretary. The able Class Treasurer was Karen Chunko who kept the class on solid financial ground during the year. The Faculty advisors who gave the Senior class inspired leadership and kept a leash on their frisky spirits were Miss Mary Sullivan, Mrs. Francis Heinley, and Mr. Richard McLean. Thus, with the help of these enthusiastic advisers and officers, the Seniors have completed a grand year, one on which they will look back with bright memories as they assume their share in the society of the future. It is their hope that they may use their varied talents and careful training to help build the best civilization the world has ever known. M Shirley Palmer welcoming the sophomores. Marie Prochilo having an X-ray. The Talking “Things.” Under the direction of fine officers and wonderful advisors, the Senior Class activities for the class of 1949 were completed. In September came Senior-Sophomore Day. This was followed by the presentation of the Senior Play entitled “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” In February all the talent of the Senior Class was combined into a very successful talent show. The following months contained planning and hard work for the Senior Prom which featured an “underwater” theme. Then in June the big moment arrives as we, the seniors, graduate from high school leaving many memories and friendship ties. Bob Burtis conducting a class meeting.

On December 21, 1948, they sponsored a Christmas party. The party was a great success with almost the whole class attending. A juke box was rented to supply the music. Mr. Poleshuk was dressed as Santa Claus. Further entertainment was provided by Ned Carter playing his trumpet, Edna Sanders, Dorothy Kunkel and Walter Sechko singing solos. Large quantities of food were donated by members of the class, and the decorations by Mr. Howard Harter. The Junior Talent Show was presented on March 23, 1949. The theme was the difference between the old and modern quiz show. The acts consisted of an American band, a German Band, singer and imitators. A group of girls imitated the Mills Bros. Two girls sang songs from “Kiss Me Kate” and three male ballerinas were accompanied at the piano by Walter Sechko. Successful script writers for the Junior Talent Show. 38 A bang of a Junior class meeting! SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES The Sophs getting into senior high school started right off this year by continuing their Good Neighbor policy. Anticipating a number of problems that might arise while planning their social events, they chose a committee made up of twelve people to untangle all the snags that might come up. This proved to be very effective in keeping the peace pipe smoking in the Sophomore camp. Mr. Gerek, Mr. Chase, Mr. Proctor. Ever since crawling out of their shells after Senior-Sophomore Day, the Sophomores have not hesitated to announce to the school and the rest of the world the many talented and wonderful members of their class. It took a short time for them to get out of that green stage, but when they did, showed themselves as tops in almost every field of activity in the school. They were well represented in sports by both the fellows and the girls who showed up in every field. Mr. President, we agree! 39 SOPHOMORE CLASS Our expectations of a powerful class would not have been fulfilled if our officers had not executed their duties so faithfully. Our president was A1 Chase; our perky secretary, Joan Hufnagel. Jim Vaughn pinched-hit when A1 was absent; and our money-man was Danny Gentile. We must also give credit to the special committee of the class, which had charge of all the Sophomore activities, and to the chairman, Sandy Cestari. OFFICERS: Lee, Vaughan, Hufnagel, Chase. w, ., .

The English Department is staffed by Miss J. Boken, Mrs. F. Heinley, Miss A. Raynor, Mrs. A. Short, Mr. E. Sugarbaker and Miss D. Sullivan. Students taking these English courses get intensive training in reading, writing and speaking their own language more effectively. All of our English teachers have strong backgrounds, with a wide variety of experience. The foreign languages are handled by Mrs. A. Short, (Latin); Miss A. Raynor, (Latin-Spanish); and Mr. C. Pieper, (French). This department instructs the students in grammar, conversation and literature. After taking two or three years of a foreign language, the students, if they happen to travel abroad, are easily able to speak the native language of a country. Coming from a foreign country, Joan, you can readily see the importance of other languages in communicating our ideas. Journalism is taught by Mr. E. Sugarbaker, who trains the students for work on a newspaper or magazine, by assignments in news, feature, sports and editorial writing. Explain that, Mr. Spanish III students apply their knowledge. Miss Boken’s English III 44 SCIENCE AND MATH Joan, we also have science and mathematics departments. Mr. McLean, Mr. Muller, Mr. Pieper and Mr. Proctor teach our science courses while Mr. Gerek, Miss Rapp, Mrs. Short and Mr. Waldron teach our mathematic courses and business math. Our school offers such courses as biology, health, physics and chemistry for those students majoring in science. For those majoring in math we offer geometry, algebra and trigonometry. In the math courses all the materials you really need are a piece of paper, a brain, and a pencil. But in the science courses you need such materials as laboratory tables, microscopes, chemicals, books, charts, animals, and so on. Out of these science and math courses come our scientists, engineers and mathematicians. For those who do not intend to specialize in these fields, the courses develop reasoning powers. 45 Stop, it tickles! Evelly gives a sales-talk. Our high school requires every student to take three years of history. In the Sophomore year, the agenda calls for the study of World History. This course starts off with early Egypt, and continues the panorama of mankind’s long record through ancient and modern European history, down to modern times. Mr. R. Loveland, Miss H. Moeller and Mr. A. Chase have succeeded in making the world history courses lively and interesting. The Juniors study American Problems under the tutelage of Mr. S. Poleshuk and Mr. R. Loveland. This course encompasses American history from the time Columbus and his men set foot on San Salvador to the time when our doughboys returned victorious from World War II. Current events are also featured in this course. American Problems II, the study of everyday problems including a survey of. our government, and the modern problems of education, housing, health, and crime, is a Senior course, taught by Miss H. Moeller and Mr. A. Chase. In this last year of history, the students again consider the important field of current events, and are primed for the New York State Regents. LIBRARY Here, Joan, is our library. It is filled with many books which are used by the pupils for research and recreation. With the help of the student library staff, Miss Morrissey, our librarian, takes care of lending books and helping students with their reading problems. The displays in the showcase keep students informed of all news concerning the library. 46 Is that book overdue? BUSINESS AND RETAILING Many interesting and practical subjects are taught by the Business Department. The secretarial course is complete in every detail. Besides classwork in taking dictation and transcribing letters, students act as secretaries for the school. Open to any student in O.H.S. the Typing sections taught by Misses W. Nunnenkamp and M. Sullivan offer a highly practical skill; the Shorthand courses have proved to be extremely valuable once the graduate has gone job seeking. Mr. W. Gerek teaches two business courses. In Business Law, the students become acquainted with the fundamentals and applications of law; annually, the class goes on field trips to see these law principles in action. The Bookkeeping course trains students in the technique of handling financial records. The students keep a practice set of books to rescue the course from theory. Retailing and Textiles are taught as distributive education subjects. The highly practical retailing course teaches students retailing fundamentals. The project is cooperative. This gives the students the opportunity of achieving experience in retailing while learning the fundamentals in school. Cooperative students are paid for their services. Employers work closely with the school coordinator, Miss Madolyn Pancoast, to develop an all around efficient worker. Look what we’re doing. Eyes on the copy! Show us how, Mr. Gerek. 47 GENERAL ART 1948-49 brought a new art syllabus for New York State. It provides the long-needed change to a contemporary approach to teaching art. General art is a prerequisite for all arts and crafts courses. We have had fun this year exploring the possibilities of pure line, form, color, texture, and form, and their application to costume, interior, community, etc. DRAWING AND PAINTING will be the name of the representation courses. Having progressed through preliminary work, the senior students will settle down to problems of light, shade and color, putting the finishing touches on their high school art careers. THE HOME ECONOMICS course includes Elementary Clothing, a comprehensive study of techniques in garment construction, sewing, grooming, fitting and repair of clothing, fabric sources. Home Economics studies furnishings, consumer buying, child care, foods, personality and family problems. Students cooperate with Service Club and other social school functions. INTERIOR DECORATING classes study the underlying art principles in decorating a home attractively, comfortably and economically. These are studied, together with furniture styles, arrangement, color harmony, fabrics and proper interior decorating standards. What is it? The subject must be interesting. 48 I take size 12. RELATED SHOP DRAWING provides background in shop drawing for students working in the school shops. An introduction is offered in perspective, isometric and orthographic drawing as related to sheet metal work, machine shop, electricity, printing and woodworking. GENERAL PRINTING or print making tends to differentiate between art and hand skills. The fine art department includes silk screen, seri-graph, block print and etchings. CRAFT CLASSES are for those who are adept at creative work with their hands. Not unusual is the sight of a boy struggling with knitting needles as a grandmother would with a plumbing outfit, or the sight of the class up to its elbows in mud pies for pottery. Also included is leather, metal and textiles work. ADVERTISING DESIGN points out the vast field of art activity, including poster composition, display, and fabric design. The course develops air brush and silk screen technique and gives the student considerable training in advertising layout. Stop the presses! 49 Check your dimensions. Advertising and design. SHOP Mr. Mac tells us what it’s really like. Many industrial art courses are offered to our students including shopwork, metalwork, printing, electricity, woodwork, industrial arts, photography and related shop drawing, giving students basic and practical skills in numerous trades. Projects range from a plastic finger ring to a kayak. A student may learn to print a name card, build an electric transformer, sandcast aluminum ends, build a model airplane and do portrait photography. PHOTOGRAPHY The course aims to introduce the student to fundamental principles, practices and responsibilities of photography. It is designed to help him evaluate and develop natural interest and ability in photography as a possible life’s work. CAFETERIA The Cafeteria amazed Joan most. Waiting in line for food was nothing new to her but to find at the end of that line such tempting food as prepared by our Mrs. Osterheld, Mrs. Golder and Mrs. Mathews! To eat this food in gay surroundings encouraged by Miss Johnson, and to find students helping in many ways—that made waiting in line a pleasure. HEALTH Among the compulsory subjects of O.H.S., Health is perhaps the most popular with the students. “Mr. Mac” or Richard McLean, our instructor, has always managed to teach this course in a way that is enjoyable. To put our knowledge to practical use Mr. Mac organized a group of students to improve general habits of O.H.S. Watch your fingers! Wait your turn. Look at the birdie! 50 GIRLS GYM CLASS The Girls Gym Classes bring to the girls: the rules of the different games, modern dance plus social and square dancing under the capable direction of Miss Ruth Lewis. The girls are given aptitude tests on these different activities. During the gym classes the girls play such games as volleyball, basketball, tennis, badminton, and hockey. BOY’S GYM CLASS The Boy’s Gym Classes directed by Mr. Helmcke, meet Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during various periods of the day. The fellows take part in a changing variation of activities thus showing their personal ability. The activities include: football, basketball, softball, volleyball, apparatus, wrestling, tumbling, boxing, track and tennis. The boys of OHS are always physically fit! Easy does it! I wonder what it looks like upside down. BOYS CHOIR The Boys Choir, Joan, is something new that has been started. It is ably directed by Miss Jean Lewis who also teaches music classes in the Terrell Avenue Grammar School. The choir is open to boys who have a talent for singing and believe it or not when these fellows get warmed up, they can really sing! This class of eager singers is held on Monday during the seventh and eighth periods. Boy's Choir. SECTION CLASS Both the Senior High orchestra under the baton of Miss Pauline Hess, and the Senior High band, directed by our new teacher, Mr. Donald McCoach, hold section classes one day a week throughout the school year. The different sections of both the band and orchestra meet during a different class period every week, with the orchestra meeting in the Junior High School on Wednesdays and the band gathering in the same building on Tuesdays. This enables the music teachers to give to the students individual instruction in each instrument. 51 Section Class. rfc£ivttte • - •A Inner Council: Lee, Turley, Downs, McKeon, Arnold, Marino, Damone. Mr. Stone ACTIVITIES COUNCIL The council is also an essential part of the G.O. It is made up of a representative from each homeroom, who has been elected by his homeroom. His duties are to bring all the news to his homeroom, receive suggestions and answer any questions concerning school activities. The activities of the General Organization are many. At the beginning of this school year, the Ocean-side High School G.O. became a member of the National Association of Student Councils. The officers also went to the meetings of the Nassau League of Student Councils, where the problems of schools all over the county are brought to be solved and suggestions are offered. The G.O. is also responsible for the sale of tickets at all other events. This year the G.O. sponsored buses for the Southampton and Hicksville games. Another activity which the G.O. started was dancing in the gym during lunch periods. These are just a few of the new things started this year which has proven to be a success. Joan McKeon, President Mary Marino, Secretary Ernest Arnold, Vice-President Vincent Downs, Treasurer 54 Outer Council: Seated: Marino, Roehm, Franey, Frontino, Campbell, Arrandale, Milos, Cacace, Mainelli, Busch, McKeon. Standing: Downs, Peltz, Arnold, Turley, R. Kenny, G. Kenny, Damone, Gerdes, Ploth, Berry, Harter, Dappelido, Lee. CABINET OFFICERS The General Organization is the student governing body of our school. This student government exists so that the student body may be assured of a voice in the school’s well-rounded “after school program.” It illustrates our educational system’s way of teaching future citizens in the workings of a democracy. The G.O. Cabinet consists of the four officers and a representative from the sophomore, junior and senior classes. This year a new representative was added to the Cabinet. The P. G. group requested a representative. The cabinet agreed that it was a very democratic idea. Our faculty advisor is also a very necessary part of the Cabinet. The officers this year were elected by the entire student body in May. A regulation voting machine was borrowed for this purpose. The officers elected are Joan McKeon, Pres., Ernest Arnold, Vice-Pres., Mary Marino, Sec. and Vincent Downs, Treasurer. Joan, Mary and Vinnie receive some of Mr. Stone’s advice. 55 CHOIR Another and very important part of our music department is the Girl’s Chorus. Under the leadership of Miss Pauline Hess, the choristers sang for many occasions. In the past year, the girls performed for the Honor Society inductions and also, under the auspices of the Kiwanis, presented a Christmas Carols program over the loudspeakers in Oceanside village. Their last public appearance of the year was at the graduation ceremony, singing one number. The officers are Karen Chunko, President, Florence Rasch, Secretary, Violet Miller and Dorothy Kunkel, librarians and Carol Bennetter, publicity manager. Naturally, the big musical event of the year, the spring concert, found OHS songsters attired in their prettiest gowns and singing just as attractively. They rendered Bruno Hahn’s “Invictus,” the difficult “In A Persian Market,” and “Tiptoe Through the Tulips,” conducted by Karen Chunko, given this privilege as the Chorus President. Officers: Seated: Chunko, Kunkel. Standing: Miller, Rasch, Bennetter. Girls’ Chorus 56 Orchestra ORCHESTRA Yes, that’s right Joan, that queer sound coming from the auditorium is our orchestra tuning up. And here comes Miss Pauline E. Hess, its able leader, with the officers— Harry Gerdes, Pres., Gladys Admiral, Sec., Ned Carter and Frances Beck, librarians and Lee Shelley, Pub. Manager. The orchestra, under Miss Hess’ direction, performs many times during the year. The music makers may be heard at such school and community affairs as the Christmas Pageant, Senior and Masque Society Plays, alternate assembly programs, “Ki-wanis Kapers” and the South Shore Businessmen’s League Convention, and the Spring Concert. Whoops, there goes the sign that means rehearsal is over for the day. Thank you for being with us, Joan, and although we don’t put as much stress on music here as you do in Germany, we do regard it as a very important part of our education. We hope that from this short visit you have come to understand our school’s feeling toward music and that music is one of the things that helps to unite people of all nations.

The OHS band, sporting new uniforms, started its successful year by marching at the football games with the twirlers stepping high out in front. Under the direction of our patient and competent leader, Mr. N. Donald McCoach, the members have perfected such formations as a big heart pierced by an arrow and a huge four leaf clover. To set the scene further, these were formed while playing an appropriate tune such as the popular numbers, “Peg O’ My Heart” and “I’m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover.” One of the favorite formations was the airplane. Bob Levin and Jimmy Hoffman, our two capable trombone players, produced the sound of a droning plane while the twirlers gave us the effect of propellors. The twirlers, numbering nine, played an important role during their performances at the football games. Under the watchful eye of Lee Shelley, the drum majorette, the girls mastered many new routines which added much finesse to the appearance of the group. As a concert band the organization gave an excellent concert on April first and played at some of the assembly programs. The musicians prepared a variety of music ranging from peppy marches to soft hymns. One interesting piece was a novelty number, “Three Blind Mice at the Floorshow,” which describes the various types of entertainment found at a night club.

MASQUE SOCIETY Officers: Bennetter, secretary, Rattlesdorfer, president, Prochillo, treasurer, Beck, vice-president. The Masque Society—during the 1948-49 season—was really a “bigger and better one” than ever before. It flourished under the expert supervision of Miss Dorothy Sullivan and its competent officers who were Joan Rattlesdorfer, President; Frances Beck, Vice-president; Carol Bennetter, Secretary; and Marie Prochilo, Treasurer. In October the society held tryouts for new members. Initiation rules, as usual, were rugged, but extremely enjoyable for all of us. New members were required to do anything and everything from “praising Allah” to drying dishes in the cafeteria, with the veterans taking a fiendish delight. The cast of the Spring drama included Joan Rattlesdorfer, Karen Chunko, Charles Tamburo, Robert Ficken, Jack Woll-heim, Carol Bennetter, Ruth Shiller, Jerry McNally, Jerry Smith, Gilbert Brown and Bob Burtis. Alternates were: June Lawyer, Miles Levin, Louis Parascandola. Marie Prochilo was Miss Sullivan’s right-hand woman as student director. 60 MASQUE SOCIETY PreaenH Out of the fynyi+Uf Pan CAST OF CHARACTERS George Bodell Norman Reese Mrs. Garnet Tony Dennison Muriel Foster .. ..

They wound up the evening by playing a lively game of softball.

There are four major activities: (1) Sider Press, the school paper, headed by Mr. E. Sugarbaker; (2) Spindrift, the yearbook, directed by Miss J. Boken; (3) Business Department, guided by Miss M. Sullivan, handles circulation of the newspaper and yearbook; (4) Press Releases, or the writing of school publicity managed by Mr. J. Muller. Since all of these activities have a similar pattern with the object to publicize the school, Sailor Publications is the clearing house. Meetings are held when there is a need to expedite a matter concerning more than one of the activities. Other faculty members contributing to the smooth-running operation of this group are: Miss L. Sanger, Director of Art; Mr. R. Loveland, Advertising; Mr. C. Pieper, Photography; Miss W. Nunnenkamp, Business, and Mr. C. Mosback, liasion between school and the Board of Education.

This year the society was ably directed by such fine officers as Gladys Amiral, Beverly Crymble, Harry Gerdes and Carol Bennetter who were president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. Under the supervision of these officers were June Yeransian, Karen Chun-ko, Mary Marino, Joan McKeon, Vincent Downs, and Edgar Hansen and Bob Burtis. In order to qualify for this organization a pupil must have maintained an 85% average and must have character, leadership and service. The midnight club was carried over from last year and continued to be a great success. The club also went to New York and enjoyed many of the famous sites of the famous city.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB This year the Photography Club wasn’t very large but as a club we had and will have fun. On February 26 we went to the National Photography Exhibition at the RCA Building in New York. This spring we hope to go on a few “hunts” for unusual shots in and around Oceanside. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club under the supervision of Mr. Proctor has again planned an interesting program for the year. The club has many projects such as taxidermy, and making models of the human head and mouth. Anyone interested in joining the club is a welcome member. VARSITY CLUB Our Varsity Club this year was one of the most active clubs. The boys undertook the job of acting as hall cops. Almost all of the boys were assigned posts at the congested places in our halls and helped to keep hall order. In this way the boys have encouraged courtesy. MATH CLUB The Math Club is open to any present or past Math student. We sell pencils bearing football or basketball schedules to pay for our annual May banquet. Miss E. Rapp is advisor. Alice Ann Arnold is President, assisted by Marie Prochilo. SERVICE CLUB The Service Club is well known and liked by all for its humane drives and accomplishments. This year it was truly a success. It was ably run by its officers with the assistance of Miss Anne Raynor, faculty advisor. FORUM CLUB The Forum Club guided by Miss H. Moeller, typifies democracy, for its aim is to provide a better understanding of local and international problems. At present the club composed of 12 girls, headed by Joan Von Glahn, builds up their treasury by selling school book covers.

KEY CLUB The Key Club, sponsored by the Oceanside Kiwanis Club, has tried to do good in keeping up to the expectations of the Kiwanis Club in performing services for the community. The club raises money by having “kiddie” movies and an annual dance. Last year they took underprivileged children to a baseball game. They have also given to worthy organizations and have engaged in a project to help keep the community clean. Any boy in good standing in the High School is eligible for membership. They enjoy their weekly meetings and occasional social gatherings and their work gives them spirit of comradeship and the great satisfaction of having done something for others. From their experience as members, all the boys in the Key Club should gain the qualities for good citizenship and should continue to become leaders in Kiwanis International. 1. Louise, Lee, Flo. 2.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Facing a hard schedule and only 2 varsity lettermen returning from last year, the fooball team had their work cut out for them. Although their record was disappointing, they were never out-fought. The spirit of the team was exceptionally high, despite a few setbacks. Mr. S. Pole-shuk, our football coach was very pleased with the playing of the team in the Baldwin and Southside games. In both games the odds were very much against Oceanside’s chances. In Baldwin, Oceanside faced perhaps the strongest team on the Island. Though the team knew they were heavy underdogs, they never stopped fighting until the final whistle blew. The final score was Baldwin 27, Oceanside 6. Oceanside’s best played game was their last game, the Southside game. Again, the team faced a supposedly better team. Southside was favored by 30 points in the contest. Oceanside out-fought and outplayed Southside all through the game, and earned a 6-6 tie, a great upset of the 1948 season for Southside. Mr. Poleshuk is sure that if the team spirit is carried thru the forthcoming years OHS will remain tops.

JAYVEE FOOTBALL Though the boys didn’t do too well this year their spirit was high. They were always out for practice, no matter what the weather. The boys put their most into the game getting fun out of playing whatever the outcome. When the J.V. football team move on to varsity, they will have a better chance for the championship because of their speed, weight, and experience. This year’s Jr. Varsity had speed but they were limited by weight and little experience. First Row: Mr. MacLean, Patton, Dappelido, Ahlers, Nigro, Bedell.

VARSITY BASKETBALL By merely looking at a record one cannot judge a season or the makeup of a team; although Oceanside’s basketball campaign was not too successful it typified the usual fine spirited and co-ordinated teams. Captained by Dick Abrams who led the Sailors, Oceanside ended at .500 mark in league competition. Ray Kenney, a junior, who possesses a wealth of talent was a great asset to the squad throughout the season. Bob Weber and Ralph Fritzman, forwards, were the two most improved members of the team. George Kenney and John Vette could always be counted upon for their steady performance. Little Joe Trenz was the sparkplug of the Sailor quintet while Ernie Arnold and Kenny Fisher hold great promise for next year. First game of the season at Sewanhaka.

JAYVEE BASKETBALL “Victorious though Defeated” is a headline that can be applied to the 1948-49 J.V. Basketball Team. Under the efficient coaching of Mr. H. Waldron, the boys impressively battled their way through a number of games and came out with very close scores. Everyone attending the J.V. basketball games admired this hard-hitting team and appreciated their high team spirit. Despite our losses, the basketball squad in all of their games showed first-rate sportsmanship, which is a credit to them and to our alma mater. Although this past season we bowed to the neighboring superior teams, next year we look ahead to a successful J.V. basketball season when the boys will have the advantage of one year’s grooming.

They dash up hills and down valleys, over trees and under water, a full 2 V2 miles. Minutes of bewilderment slowly pass and we see the finish line. Climbing and swimming faster we finally crawl over the gates of Heaven. Then Mr. Waldron says, “Good running boys; keep in shape for that next meet!” TRACK The scene opens on a beautiful spring day with the sun shining bright on our campus. Here we see the hot-rods of the track. There are milers; pole vaulters; high jumpers; sprinters; shot putters and hurdlers all going through their practice routines. To the left we see the high-jumpers and hurdlers trying hard to perfect their speed and class. On the starting line we see the sprinters and the distance runners, all trying to beat the world’s record of their event And to the rear we see the shot putters limbering up by heaving the twelve pounds of lead. And, over to the right we see the pole vaulters twisting and turning over the bar, and the sprinters dashing around the track, and the distance runners. We see all of them on a beautiful spring day on the Oceanside High campus. 78 Kiesel, Corseri, Elliot, O'Donnell, Weber. Try a backhand, Bruce! First Row: Trenz, Hansen, Weber, Brennen, R.

This year the team will be trying doubly hard to avenge this loss. Backing up their hopes are ten returning veterans. Ed. McGann, Dan Casey, Ray Kenney, G. Kenney, T. Brennen, H. Gerdes, Ed Hansen, E. Arnold, M. Karadenes and Bob Weber whose pitching and hitting will definitely be one of the teams mainstays. TENNIS Tennis, under the direction of Mr. McLean, starts about March 15 until the semester’s end, and during the season the team plays matches with other schools and participates in the sectional tournament. 79 First Row: Rappaport, Campbell. Second Row: Taylor, Fleischman, Renner. Mr. Gerek, Pietroforte, Hoffman, White, Salmons. First Row: Miller, Corseri, Kusky. Second Row: Meehan, Suriano, Haggerty. BOWLING Our bowling team is so ably headed by Mr. Poleshuk who has had considerable experience in pulling our team up from last place to the top. Bowling although not a strenuous game, requires physical and mental endurance. It is a sport that many men pursue in later life. Our bowling team—going up toward the top-may someday soon get the section championship and even sometime in the near future compete in the national tournament in Miami, Florida. GOLF Golf is another one of the various after-school sports for boys offered at OHS. Last year’s team, which was composed mainly of Sophomores, won only two of their games. But Mr. Gerek, the boys’ coach, expects the team to do very well this year, due to the return of such players as Kenny Fischer, James Hoffman, Leo Pietroforte, and Forrest White. The team plays at the Oceanside Country Club, and is a member of the South Shore League. RIFLE CLUB This year the Rifle Club was presented with a completely new range for practice purposes. A modern installation was built at the Oaks Road grade school which made it possible to learn organized target shooting. The group consisted of a few experienced shooters, but the rank and file were neophytes who had never experienced standard shooting procedures. As the “Club” is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, all procedings were under their rules and regulations. Caldero, Andos, Bigelow, Home, Southard. 80 WRESTLING The winning pin by Damone at the Suffern game. The Oceanside matmen, coached by Mr. A. Chase, turned in a first-rate performance for the 1949 wrestling season. Don Hull-Ryde, Bill Evel-ly, Bill Turley and Jim Damone garnered four South Shore crowns. Captained by Bill Turley the grapplers registered a five win and five loss record, its most sterling victory being over Long Beach, who took the B-League team championship. Bob Carter handled the wrestling chores in the 103 pound division while Don Hull-Hyde worked in the 112 class. Bill Bailey was in the 121 bouts, Bill Davidson, who made some stellar bouts during the season, wrestled at 135. A1 McCabe did well in the 145 division while Captain Bill Turley, who lost only two tough matches, weighed in at 155. Dan McGuigan and Harvey Blum alternated in the 165 class. Jimmy Damone was the Sailor heavyweight. The Sailor Wrestling fans will never forget the match deciding pin that Damone registered over the Suffern heavyweight, which tallied a 25-19 Oceanside victory. First Row: Probst, J.

You have no doubt seen them cheering their hearts out at the various football and basketball games throughout the season. In case you have forgotten their names, they are: Lena Spadanuta, captain, Barbara Turley, co-captain, Lois Meyer, Gladys Amiral, Virginia Thonet, Theresa Arrandale, Barbara McDowell, Carolyn Bennett, Joan Casey and June Yeransian. During the football season, they wore the traditional navy blue outfits, which, in turn, were reversed to white during the basketball season. This year, they have introduced a new cheer which has rapidly become the favorite of all, “The Say What Cheer.” It has helped to pep up both the team and the crowd to a great extent. Since eight of them are now seniors, you will probably see quite a few new faces cheering for the Sailors next year. Barbara Turk Spatts Carol Ginny June 82 Jumping: Meyer, Turley, Arrandale, McDowell, Spadanuta. Standing: Bennett, Yeransian, Amiral, Casey, Thonet. JAYVEE CHEERLEADERS Our Jay Vee cheerleaders, whom you have probably seen cheering for the Jay Vee football and basketball teams, are guided by the able leadership of Vera Lupo, captain and Rose Wykert, co-captain. The other six girls include Ann Bernhardt, Mary Vaughn, Flossie Kenny, Joan Hufnagel, Diane Vande- weghe and Helen Mott. First Row: Lupo, Kenny, Vaughan.

VOLLEY BALL As a popular, competitive team game, volleyball at OHS is attracting a steadily increasing number of players as indicated by the 103 girls who signed up for this sport. Ten enthusiastic teams played a strenuous schedule every Monday and Thursday afternoons in the gym. The senior class team was victorious. Matches were held with Mepham, East Rockaway, Lyn-brook and Malverne. A successful Sportsday was held at OHS on December 16, with seven participating schools: Baldwin, Mepham, Long Beach, Freeport, Lindenhurst, Amityville and Oceanside, with Mepham placing first and Oceanside second. Twelve members of the honor team were: Lois Meyer, Barbara Turley, Joan Casey, June Yeransian, Lena Spadanuta, Joan Bossi, Eleanor Risticcio, Theresa Arrandale, Evelyn Thompson, Nora Nilsson, June Cole and Diane VanderWeghe. 84 At present basketball is the most popular sport in OHS. 150 girls participated in the L.I. G.A. program; the Seniors had 3 class teams, the Juniors 3, Sophomores 4, and the Freshmen 6. The teams were very fortunate in being able to practice in the Junior High School gymnasium as more time was available for such a large group. At the intermural games, a Walt Disney animated cartoon kept a running score of our interclass teams. “Goofy”—with Marianne Ger-des as captain came out with first honors. Oceanside’s class teams were very successful in their games with other Nassau schools winning 11 out of 12 games. Our opponents were Lynbrook, Freeport, and Baldwin. At the basketball sports-day held at South Side, our honor team won 2 and lost 1. Honor Team: Lois Meyer, Evelyn Thompson, Barbara Turley, Joan O’Brien, Terry Arrandale, June Cole, June Yeransian, Gladys Amiral, Jane Moriarty, Nora Nilsson, Dot Mat-thei, and Diane VanderWeghe.

Under capable coaching of Mrs. Mangiapane, the class teams had a successful season. A veteran honor squad won two games at the L.I.G.A. Sports-day at Mepham. Unfriendly weather cancelled the L. I. Hockey Association Playday. 86 Get back in position, Lena! SPORTSNITE Sportsnite has been an annual affair at Oceanside for the past six years. From 1943-46 it was co-ed, but in 1947 the event developed into a “Girls Only.” Enthusiasm ran high this year with Joan Bossi as Captain of the White Team and Lena Spadanuta as Co-captain. Barbara Turley was Captain of the Blues, with June Yeransian as Co-captain. Junior assistant was Nora Nilsson and Sophomore aid was Diane VanderWeghe. Ushers and assistants at Sportsnite were members of the Freshmen Leader Corps. MODERN DANCE Fourteen members of the advanced class in Modern Dance worked for five months on six original dances, presented for New York University’s Dance Club, for our own Sportsnite and for Girl’s Week Assembly. The original dances included “Shortning Bread,” “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” “On the Avenue,” “Parktown Strutters,” “Turkey in the Straw” and “Morning,” which dance was chorally accompanied by Gloria McCabe and Edith Farrish.

We had two matches this year, one with Southside and one with Mep-ham. Sportsday at Hempstead Lake Park proved most successful for the girls from OHS. Rasch, Sandburg, Rauh, Blafaux. MacDonald, Matthei, Schroff. Standing: Thompson. PING PONG Only fifteen members came out for Ping Pong, ten advanced students and five beginners—a very small group because of the Freshmen who were deep in Sportsnite organization and couldn’t participate. However, enthusiasm ran high in spite of the limited number out for this sport under the capable managership of Florence Rasch. Oceanside was represented in a fine play-day held at East Rockaway by Edna Sanders and Barbara Blaufeux and Eileen Helm as a double team. BADMINTON Class badminton seemed to inspire a larger number of participants in the spring. During the fall, the Seniors were given a choice of a team sport or an individual sport during class periods. Many indicated a preference for shuttlecock game and subsequently class champions were crowned in the first, seventh and eighth periods. The victors were: Louise Scheck, Ethel Tred-well, and Florence Rasch. Badminton was limited to the spring season as Modern Dance was given preference in the fall. Following Sportsnite, there was a large turnout for this when activities were resumed. 88 Rauh, Gold, Mancini, Scheck. GIRLS’ SOFTBALL The majority of high school girls in Oceanside thoroughly enjoy playing softball. Everyone experienced a highly successful season this year since only two members of last year’s Honor Team were lost through graduation. Many Freshmen and Sophomore candidates have been moved up into the ranks of the highly coveted positions, bringing them nearer to the Honor Team. The L.I.G.A. members enjoyed a new experience of “Field Day” at Mepham High. O BOWLING Bowling is fun, even though you score 75 instead of the anticipated 300. Among the current bowling enthusiasts, Carolyn Kline is the only veteran. A Bowling Sportsday was held at Baldwin. ceate Ban ’ Seated: First Row: SchrofF, Reeves, Banks.

That must be our archery team practicing. This year the girls met Mepham in a match, and the honor team competed in a playday against five other teams from the nearby high schools. Oceanside High was well represented at this playday by five girls, Dorothy Mainelli, Carolyn Kline, Helen Powers, June Zatovich, and Marion Mainelli who were chosen to the honor team. Dorothy, the star of our team, achieved the fourth highest individual score of all the girls in the tournament. Although the team did not dp as well as Dorothy, everyone enjoyed participating in this fascinating sport. 89 92 VOCATIONAL TRAINING Cooperating with merchants is another phase of distributive education program. Here James Damone, Mary Vaughan and Ann Bernhard check on the sale of tickets for the Business Forum sponsored by the South Shore Businessmen’s Council. Each retailing student is required to work in a retailing firm during the school year. This work experience is under supervision of the coordinator, Madolyn E. Pancoast. Students thus have an opportunity to earn as they learn. Ann Bernhard and Barbara Allen are intrigued by this attractive display of merchandise in Harter’s Display Showroom in Oceanside. Visited by the class on a recent field trip, advanced principles of display were discussed by Mr. Harter. This was a most worthwhile field trip. OHS students are at an advantage in being so near this highly specialized business. In order to sell merchandise effectively it is necessary to know the product. Here Jacqueline De Santis combines merchandise information which she has gained in textile class with selling techniques learned in Retailing. Prospective customers are Louis Parascandola and Joan Gismervik. This is the first year the textile course has been offered. The syllabus was approved by the State Department of Education last May. Distributive education classes are held in a vocational classroom in Oceanside village because of lack of space at OHS. Students cooperate well in getting to and from the classroom which has a cash register, selling counter and windows used for specialized training. Receiving state and federal aid, the program meets the requirements for the highest type vocational training. 93 V mw r •V.V. v.v. mm 111 il? §1 in m Republic 9-9314 Opposite L.I.R.R. 94 Mu Omicron Delta MU OMICRON DELTA Peggy King, president, Marie Prochilo, secretary, Lee Shelly, treasurer, Frances Beck, Eleanor Doerflinger, Pat Gold, Greta Johnson, Barbara Kattenhorn, Judi Lesnow, Marion Mainelli, Shirley Palmer, Shirley Pfeifer, Joan Rattelsdorfer, Ruth Suy-dam.

Last December during a rainstorm, 15 soaked boys huddled against the radiator in the boiler room hoping to get dry. The custodians made them remove some of their clothing — shoes, socks, shirts—and seated them near the sizzling radiators. The boys relaxed with the first heat-rays happy to miss classes until the custodians loyal to the faculty brought them testbooks and made them study. We shall never forgive Mr. Pieper for missing this amusing picture of the year. Half dressed students studying from wet books, policed by fatherly custodians! OF JEWERY FOR Rings Pins-Medals 17 John Street, Tropies THE CLASS OF 1949 Cups - Placques - Awards New York 18, N.Y. 99 Our biology lab, famous for its aquariums with their beautiful tropical fish, also has its drawbacks, especially the many pungent odors freely escaping. The lab is now more adequate and enjoyable by a variety of new equipment from gleaming dissecting sets, 2 expensive microscopes, 2 human body models, charts and black tables. Now Mr. Proctor is searching for specimens (any dead, malodorous grasshopper or lobster will do). The chemistry lab is jealous of the bio lab’s equipment and shows it by trying to blow up the school on various and regular occasions. imtLi sums 4 246 Long Beach Rd., Oceanside smm RO 6 9801 BEST WISHES from tie MEH Tim; STIFF 100 Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Christmas Club Personal Loans Interest Accounts Mortgage Loans Checking Accounts Safe Deposit Boxes Moderization L oans Special Checking Accounts ceanside National Bank Ocbanside, T.

We certainly enjoyed your visit and are glad that you now have a clearer picture of a typical American high school. If other students like you paid exchange visits throughout the world, we are sure that people would get to know and then understand one another, for knowledge usually brings understanding, which turns fear and hate into trust and love for all men.
