DIANE VANDEWEGHE Secretary.......................BARBARA MARVIN OCEANSIDE, NEW YORK DEDICATION We, the graduating class of 1950, dedicate our yearbook from stem to stern to all the sailors who came between the time of Christian Hook, our mythical scholar of the 1900’s, and Johnny Spindrift, our imaginary student of 1950. We should like to give a vote of thanks to the people of Oceanside. It is because of them that Johnny Spindrift has this wonderful school of ours, which you will see as he takes Christian Hook and you through the pages of Oceanside High School.

Dr. Boardman, Superintendent of Oceanside Schools, has many responsibilities in community life. He follows each student and is responsible for him no matter what school he attends—elementary, junior high or senior high school. Dr. Boardman is an efficient leader and is very capable of serving in the position he holds. The Board of Education, consisting of five Ocean-side citizens, make sure that we have the proper educational program. The members are: Thomas C. Fetherston, President; Andrew S. Southard, Vice-President; Kenneth B. Campbell, William H. Syrett and Charles H. Goldie, who also serves as clerk. Others attending meetings are Marshall D. J. Smith, Treasurer, and Walter S. Boardman, Superintendent. This present Board of Education has progressed since the earlier School Committee in the days of Christian Hook, because it not only serves a far larger number of students, but directs a far more complicated business organization in a highly efficient manner. DR. BOARDMAN 8 MISS KINKADE ADMINISTRATION The main office, consists of four people. Mrs. Alma Kearns and Mrs. Clara Johnson take care of many of the administrative details of the high school office and answer all the questions that various Johnny Spindrifts and Christian Hooks ask throughout the year. Mrs. Ruth Boren and Mrs. Helene Gandol work with Dr. Boardman as part of the superintendent’s office. Their responsibility is for the schools in Ocean-side. Mr. Mosback, our friendly principal, has a large administrative job. He is a friend to every student, and always ready to help student and faculty. Miss Kinkade, the assistant principal, is also our guidance advisor. She takes care of the year-long job of arranging each student’s schedule. Miss Kinkade is also in charge of our Honor Society. She has a large responsibility and handles it superbly. From the time of Christian Hook right up to our present Johnny Spindrift, Oceanside High School has boasted of its fine staff, and the cooperation it has given. OFFICE STAFF: Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Kearns, Mrs. Gandol, Mrs. Boren. 9 Could they be talking about us. Christian? Almost every Thursday, at 3:15, our faculty holds a meeting in the library. I really couldn’t tell you exactly what go:s on there, Chris, because, being a student, I’m not let in on these gatherings. I couldn’t get much through the Sailor grape vine,” but Mr. Mosback said, ’’Faculty meetings are held for the purpose of group discussion to arrive at a clear understanding of school policies and procedures so that they may be uniformly applied in all departments of the high school. Those meetings are more complicated than we thought, Chris. 1. Norval Anson World History. 2. Alan Chase American Problems II and Coach. 3. J.

He knew his subject well and because of his clear, sympathetic understanding of youth was able to impart that knowledge to his students. Sailor Publications also lost a tireless worker and friend. CLASSES SENIOR OFFICERS AND ADVISORS Probably every class since the beginning of time has had its class officers, Christian, and I think we have had very efficient ones this past year. Serving as president, and making an excellent job of it, was Richard Ahlers, who proved himself to be a capable and efficient leader. He was assisted in the job of presiding over the class meetings by Winona Saunders, our vice-president. The class secretary was Evelyn Anderson. She has kept the minutes faithfully and without complaining, though it was no easy job keeping all the records straight. Perina Fron-tina was another of the hardworking leaders of the class. She has kept the class out of the red by seeing that all of the dues were collected. Very few and far between were the seniors who escaped Perry's watchful eye. Our class advisors were Mr. McLean and Miss M. Sullivan. Besides taking care of the cafeteria homeroom, they helped us with the decorations for the prom and other activities carried out by the senior class. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: E. Anderson, P. Frontino, W. Saunders, R. Ahlers. A little get-together. Seniors and Sophomores get acquainted. 14 SENIOR ACTIVITIES Now, Chris, I should like to show you what our Senior Class has been doing this past year. To begin with, we had Senior-Sophomore Day, when we greeted the Sophs and showed them how they could occupy their spare time by joining clubs. Every class must have some way of raising funds. Our primary source was the Senior play, George Washington Slept Here, a comedy in three acts, which was directed by Miss D. Sullivan. Our next assignment was Senior Day. On this day, the Seniors took over the school for a day, custodians and faculty being chosen by a committee of students. Every class is given a chance to present its talent in assembly. The title of ours was, The Mid-Century Review.” Featured were: a disk jockey show; the Jay Walkers, a dancing team; and a student band. The theme for our Senior Prom was Penthouse Rendezvous.” The decorations carried out the idea of being on the roof of a New York skyscraper on a starry night. A really smooth band made our never-to-be-forgotten Prom complete. Soooo interested!! Isn't it romantic?” Stitchie is giving latest news to class.

Class Officers Junior Class Back in your youth, Christian, I don’t suppose your class had officers to lead them. I should like to introduce you to our four Junior Class officers now. First there is our dues-collecting president, Dot Mainelli, and her hard working helper, the vice-president, Claire Levine. Working right along with them is Sandy Cestari, the secretary. Our efficient treasurer, A1 Van Wickler, takes care of those dues that Dot collects. OFFICERS: Top-Allan VanWickler, Treasurer; Claire Levine, Vice Pres.

Brennan made Varsity in all of his sports, while J. Cole had enough L.I.G.A. points for her gold key. More Juniors are on Sailor Publications than any other classmen. J. Klaess, D. Ploth, and A. Van Wick- ler are Sider PRESS editors, while others work on Spindrift. Intelligence also rates, with a very large number of Juniors on the High Honor Roll. Talent is the strong point of the class. Chris, you've missed something if you’ve never seen D. Vande-weghe and N. Roehm Charleston. Have you heard E. Farrish or G. McCabe sing, or E. Canavan’s tap or P. Burkard’s bop”?

The Junior Class started off with a bang this year Christian, setting a record by collecting 100% of the dues in less than four weeks. Here, Chris, is a meeting that shows our Junior Class in action. The meetings are presided over by the president whom you have mer. The Juniors held their annual Christmas Party on Dec. 15, with tremendous response from the whole student body. The vocal soloists were E. Farrish, G. McCabe, and J. Grigg. Later everyone was favored with a few instrumental renditions by H. Bartell, P. Burkard and R. Caldiero. Even Santa was at the party. He told a story after Claire Levine and Dot Mainelli told him that All They Want for Christmas is Their Two Front Teeth. President Dorothy Mainelli giving the Junior Class a pep talk on the Christmas Party. SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES Mr. Loveland, Mrs. Short, Mr. Gerek, mighty advisors of the Sophomore Class. This year the Sophs had a full schedule of activities. At an early class meeting we had an informal talent show, which was one of our most enjoyable gatherings. Of course, the big event of our year was the Sophomore Class party. Everyone was pleased to hear that the entire student body was to be invite. The decoration committee did a marvelous job as did all the committees. A good time was had by all. Another big event of the year was the annual talent show. This was made up of several acts. Class members sang, danced, and presented stunts. Some were instrumental, others were dramatic. Giving a show of this type brings out the hidden talents of all, and both the performers and the audience enjoyed themselves. You can see Christian, that the Sophomores are an active and contributing part of O.H.S. Any suggestions for the Sophomore Talent Show? 39 Dick Durnan presides at Sophomore Class meeting. This year the sophomore class officers are Richard Durnan, president; Dot Coysh, vice-president; Rill Wolfrom, secretary; Mary Jiminez, treasurer; and Anthony Warnick, G.O. Left to right: standing—Mary Jiminez, Richard Durnan. Seated — William Wolfrom, Dorothy Coysh. representative. No organization can operate without funds. Almost one hundred percent of the Sophs paid their dues. Probably you would like to know' what we use our dues for, Christian. Well, we had our class party which was a big success. The Sophs’ pages in the yearbook also were paid for with our dues. I guess your classes weren’t the self-sufficient organizations ours are today, Christian. 40 First Row—M. Jackson, D. Weber, M.

They have helped our officers conduct excellent class meetings when, at times, we thought they would not be successful. Also, they have aided us in our drive for dues, our class party and other class activities. There are several talented people in our class. The most outstanding are Raymond Calderio with his trumpet, who has entertained us many times at dances and Diane Lockwood, our ballerina, who is a very talented dancer and has performed with a local ballet troupe. In spite of the fact that the Sophs had a big ad- justment to make, coming from junior high school to high school, we have still maintained our high scholastic average. In the first marking period Nancy Elsasser made the 90% honor roll and fifteen people were on the 85% honor roll. So as you can see, Christian, we have a well-rounded group of Sophs.

English is a four-year course which is staffed by Mrs. F. Heinley, Mrs. A. Short, Mrs. K. Steinfirst, Mr. E. Sugarbaker, Miss D. Sullivan, and Mr. W. Tucker. The English course includes reading, speech, and writing. Grammar is also very closely observed. Mr. E. Sugarbaker teaches journalism. This course shows the special techniques of journalistic style and newspaper writing. Miss D. Sullivan conducts the speech class. Speech attempts to develop poise and ability in speaking. The foreign languages are taught by Mrs. A. Short (Latin), Mr. C. Pieper (French), and Miss A. Raynor (Spanish). Intensive training in grammar, speech, and literature enable the students to converse quite well and rapidly in their foreign language. The students may take as many as three years in one language.

Biology, taught by Mr. Proctor, includes a study of botany and zoology, from the simplest forms of plant and animal life to the most complicated. Chemistry, instructed by Mr. Muller, is a study of laws and theories. Mr. Pieper teaches physics, which is also basic to modern science. Mr. McLean teaches health. Guess what they found? Miss Rapp and her mathematical wizards. MATHEMATICS The shortest distance between two points is a straight line! Seeing a new world. B. Bigelow. R. Durham. Mr. Proctor, Trudy Dicken, R. Marvin, W. Williams. Here Christian, is the math department in which everyone seems to have difficulty. Miss Elaine Rapp, Mr. Harry Waldron, and Mr. Williams Gerek are its capable instructors. The whole math course, for those who do not intend to major in this subject, develops reasoning power for work in the years to come. Students planning to become engineers must major in math and complete plane geometry, elementary, intermediate, and advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. 45 LIBRARY As you know, Christian, our school has a library in which there are reference, fiction, and nonfiction books. Miss Morrissey, our librarian, takes charge of lending the books and solves the students' reading problems. Once a month the showcase displays an array of new books which come into the library, and are sure to please everyone's taste in reading. Our library ranges from the Encyclopedia Brittanica down to The Babe Ruth Story. There are 4331 books, 46 periodicals and 3 daily newspapers for reference and recreation. Our library is located on the second floor and is open to everyone. Looks like a lot of reading—Marilyn Tallman, Sandra Cestari. HISTORY And here, Christian, is our history department in which three years are required. In our Sophomore year, we learn the fundamentals of politics, sociology, economics, and religion. The students watch the progress from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age. Mr. A. Chase, Mr. W. Tucker and Mr. R. Loveland teach this subject. Current events and American history are involved in American Problems, the Junior course. Mr. S. Pole-shuk and Mr. W. Tucker are the instructors. American Problems II is the study of government and modern conditions. Under Mr. A. Chase’s guidance the pupils prepare for a state regents. lUHo cones of HtsroRy Tests f bout And that's the way I captured the German Army!” 46 Eyes right!! TYPING AND SECRETARIAL PRACTICE A large majority of the working girls in this country have turned toward stenography as a career. Thus the competition is keen. Oceanside trains its students to compete with the best. It offers shorthand, typing, and secretarial practice. This training is given by Miss Wilhelmina Nunnenkamp and Miss Mary Sullivan. Shorthand and typing are required before a student may take secretarial practice, and are necessary for a business diploma. Secretarial practice in our school office gives the student actual work experience. JfiSo OeyL? BOOKKEEPING AND BUSINESS LAW Business Law, taught by Mr. William Gerek, is a subject concerning the fundamentals of law and its application. The class goes on trips to see these principles in practice. The bookkeeping course, also taught by Mr. Gerek, trains the students in the technique of handling financial records. The students keep a practice set of books to rescue the course from theory. 47 ART This, Christian, is our are department. The art courses consist of general art, basic art, crafts and advanced art. GENERAL ART is an introduction to all of the art courses. It is useful to people who take only one high school art course or to those who go on into other art courses. The students learn through discussion, demonstration and experimentation. It can either be taken as a half year course or a whole year course in any high school grade. BASIC ART is a must to all students that will major in art or plan an art career. It is a full year course. The classes go over the basic requirements of design. CRAFTS is a full year course. To take this course the student must have either one year of general art or one year of general and basic art. In this course the students go over design, decoration, color, tools, and so on. Shhh! Artists at work! 48 Warp and Woof. Left to right: J. Hufnagel, T. Keyes, F. Kenney, I. Pineau. garet Combs, Joanne Moren. VOCATIONAL TRAINING Vocational training consists of Retailing I and Textiles. These classes are held off the premises of Oceanside High School at 364 Long Beach Road. Here students explore the theory and fundamentals of merchandising. The equipment in the store helps to provide a medium through which they attain understanding of how a retailing establishment is operated. Demonstrations help to familiarize the students with retailing work. In the textiles class, students learn vital information regarding the basic fabrics used in women’s, men’s and children’s clothing. This high school course, vocational training, is like the secretarial program in that it is designed for the student wishing to enter business following graduation. 49 General Printing. They couldn't have done better at Wittenberg. APPLIED ARTS Applied Arts is any course in which art is applied to practical use. Such courses include crafts, interior decoration, general printing and related shop drawing. Crafts includes the development of design, constructing decorating materials, work with color, work with different materials, and use of tools. It is taught by Miss Sanger and is open to all who have taken general art. Interior decoration is taught by Miss Johnson. It is the study of house construction, decoration and furnishing, according to the demands of health, comfort and beauty. A subject which covers all methods of printing is general printing. It deals with letter press work, linoleum block printing, etching, mimeographing and silk screen. In order to take this course, Christian, a student should complete introductory courses in either art or shop. A good course that gives you one unit of required credit is related mechanical drawing. In this subject, Christian, one learns to draw shop projects both free hand and also by instruments. These last two courses are taught by Mr. Smitten. That angle is off! Mr. Smitten helps A. Manookian in related shop drawing class. Our future home??? V. Stone. N. Griggs. Miss Johnson—and class. 50 HEALTH AND GYM As you know, Christian, health instruction is a compulsory subject. But it is one of the best-liked subjects in the school. Richard McLean, known as Mr. Mac, instructs this subject in an enjoyable and interesting way. It is a very broad subject, dealing with the human body and its functions. Another required subject in school is physical education. The girls’ gym classes, under the? direction of Miss R. Lewis, learn the rules of various sports and how to play them well. They receive instruction in dancing, hockey, tennis, badminton, volley ball, lacrosse, basketball, softball, and marching. The boys' gym classes, taught by Mr. Helmke, make our men of the future. There is much competition in football, basketball, softball, track, and many other sports. Hike, two, three, four. Come on! Get it over. M. Mignone, J. Cole, A. Milos, N. Griggs. And the blood flowed like wine!! Show us again, Mr. Mac. Mr. McLean. Mary Vaughan, Claire Walker. 51 Knit one, purl one.

SECTION The orchestra, under the direction of Miss Hess, and the band, led under the watchful eye of Mr. McCoach, hold section classes one day a week throughout the entire year. Each section meets one day of the week, enabling the music teacher to give individual instructions in each instrument. HOME ECONOMICS These courses include elementary clothing, a study of sewing and textiles; interior decorating; and home management, which emphasizes the importance of family life and an adequate home. Miss Olga A. Johnson is the instructor of these very vital courses. PHOTOGRAPHY This course is a study in the fundamental principles and practices of photography. This subject is taught by Mr. Pieper. 52 My don't we look grim!! SHOP This includes industrial art courses offered to all students interested in shopwork, printing, metalwork, electricity, woodwork, photography, and industrial arts. Related shop drawing gives the students basic and practical skills in many trades. The teachers are the Messrs. Smitten, Wallace, and Cooper. CAFETERIA Our cafeteria is about the most popular place in the entire school. Fifth and sixth periods the students may be seen running to the Cafeteria as if they had never seen food before. This tempting food is prepared for us by Mrs. Osterheld, Mrs. Mathews, and Mrs. Golder under the direction of Miss Johnson. The cafeteria is also used as a study hall other periods of the day. Because of its large size there are many more students here than there are in the other study halls. How much? Mary Vaughan, Amy Grifenburg, Theresa Arrandale, Nancy Fritz, James Ousterman.

Sitting in the bleachers at the football game, watching this group do their job, was 1, Christian Hook. Their routines included everything from an anchor for Anchors Away” to a candle featuring Ann Morse twirling a flaming baton. 1 have heard, that their most important part in the formations, was when the Twirlers formed the mouth and nose of a pumpkin face. The mouth moved from a frown to a smile. Let's hope the Twirlers keep stepping high, until I see them again. Reissmeyer, Williams, Schleik, Fritz, Duryea. Nouner, Morse.

Miss Dorothy Sullivan MASQUE SOCIETY Under the wonderful supervision of Miss Dorothy Sullivan the Masque Society reached its peak of perfection. With the help of its officers, Sandra Cestari, president; Joan Grigg, secretary; and Chariot Linton; treasurer, and its hardworking members, the Society was able to put on their play magnificently. The spring drama was entitled Arsenic and Old Lace and included an excellent cast. They were Ann Haight, Franklin Renzuli, Burt Lauber, Donald Wyatt, Albert Notine, Joan Grigg, Sandra Cestari, Dick Durnan, Bob Pansmith, Dave McIntyre, Joe Nicholas, Herbert Harper, Jim Hoffman, and Herbert Dickinson. The alternates included John Seaman, Barry Fleischman, Myles Levin, Gilbert Brown, Dorothy Mainelli and Joyce Davidson. In February the Society went to New York and saw Kiss Me Kate.” In June we held our annual picnic. The Masque Society thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the year. I 62 Left to right—J.

Probably when you went to school, Christian, they didn’t have a yearbook so I’ll tell you what it is. In the Spindrift we write short articles about the various classes and their activities. We describe the clubs such as the G.O., the Honor Society, the Masque Society, the band and the orchestra and our own sports activities and teams which participate in them. We include a small biography of each senior and try to state what seniors plan to do after graduation. To put together such a book requires the services of the Art Staff, the Photography Staff, the Copy Staff and the Lay-Out Staff. These groups are under the able leadership of Miss L. Sanger and Mrs. K. Steinfirst. The book is taken to a professional printing concern when it has been completed by the Spindrift Staff. Printed books are distributed to students by the staff.

It is coming from the press room which is where our school paper, the Sider Press, is published by the students twenty-four times a year. Our school paper covers all sports through the services of members of the Sports Staff who attend these events. News of all the other activities of the school, such as the senior play, the school dances, the club and class activities are also published. The reporters who cover these items are members of the News Staff. The Feature Staff elaborates on the news stories and also reports on the humorous side of the school news. The Sider Press is under the leadership of Mr. E. Sugarbaker, faculty advisor, and Winona Saunders, Editor-in-Chief. They see that the paper is printed on time, and that its contents are correct and complete. After these reporters bring in their copy it goes to the typist and finally to the Production Staff. The Production Staff makes up the pages which then go to the veritypist. From there the pages go to the printer and finally to the Circulation Staff which distributes the paper to the students. Thus an issue of the Sider PRESS is born. SIDER PRESS EDITORS: Seated: W. Saunders. J. Klaess. Standing: A. Van Winkler, D. Ploth.

This organization is made up of selected students who have special traits such as leadership and citizenship. They have high marks and character. They sponsor the Midnight Club after every home basketball game, and give money to scholarship funds. Keeping the bulletin-board posted with up-to-date material is another important duty of the Society. Members are taken in twice a year, in November and in March. The officers are: Kate Kristiansen, president; Winona Saunders, secretary, and Ned Carter, treasurer. Meetings are held about once a week in Mr. Mosback's office. The Honor Society usually goes to the city to see a play or some other entertainment, at least once a year. Honor Society Officers in late 1949. W. Saunders, Secretary; K. Kristiansen, President; N.

These girls officiate in Junior High gym classes and Junior High Sportsnite. In order to belong to this organization you must try out. In these tryouts you must teach a game. You're scored on your leadership, school marks, character and ability. To raise money the Corps sells candy. I'll tell you something, Mr. Hook. You will always be able to tell a student leader from the other girls at any girls’ sports affair, by the clean white gym suits that she wears. Representatives are sent to other schools to see how other schools conduct their classes. Nora Nilsson is president, and the representatives are: Kate Kristiansen and Evelyn Anderson, Seniors; Nancy Roehm and Joan Hufnagel, Juniors; Carole Botcheller and Sue Schleich, Sophomores. The faculty advisors are Miss Lewis and Mrs. Mangiapane. L” and C for Ladies' and Charming.’' Back Row — Sue Schleich, Nancy Roehm, Evelyn Andersen.

The Club is a great aid to the Red Cross in helping fill Christmas stockings for veterans, and assisting needy people at any time. It is always on hand to be of service to Mr. Mosback, the faculty and the student body. The money to render service is raised by selling candy, pencils and Ocean-side banners. VARSITY CLUB Left to right—J. Klaess, Carolyn Kline, Virginia Campbell, Molly Leso, Tama Mills. This year's Varsity Club, under the supervision of Mr. Helmcke, is off with a bang once more. The boys help by patrol-ing all sports banquets, and usher at basketball and wrestling matches. The meetings, held every Monday, are chaired by Ernie Arnold, the president. There's one thing, Christian, that is different from your time. The students didn't work together with the faculty, as they do now in the Varsity-Faculty basketball games.

The members are studying the parts of the human body this year. Some have made models of the human head and teeth. The project for this year has proved to be a very interesting one. It is the study of the habits of the hamster. Several scientific movies are shown each year. The officers: Pete Sackaris, president; Dick Durnan, vice-president, and A1 Barr, secretary-treasurer planning the program, have decided to take many trips to museums and places of scientific interest.

It was started three years ago and is sponsored by the Kiwanis. Its object is to be of service to the community. During the year the members held a movie to raise funds and took charge of the hall patrol during fifth and sixth periods. They had two league basketball teams, the Keys and the Clubs.

Ernie Arnold-Back Scharf—Tackle 1949 FOOTBALL SEASON OCEANSIDE 21 - GARDEN CITY 12 Oceanside opened ics 1949 football season by impressively defeating Garden City. Hard running Gasper Corseri tallied twice, and Tamburo once. The deciding factor of the game was the hard charging Oceanside forward wall which proved too much for the Trojan line. McCabe played brilliant defensive ball at guard, while Ernie Arnold proved to be indispensible with his consistent punting. Ray Kenney kicked the extra points. Dick Ahlers—End A1 Chase—Center Tommy Brennan—End Arman Manookian—Back Red McGann—Back OCEANSIDE 29 - FAR ROCKAWAY 0 Improving constantly, Oceanside downed a much heavier Far Rockaway eleven. McGann. Tamburo and Kenney all had a hand in the scoring, with McGann going over twice. Scharf, McCabe and Chase played consistently good ball. It was all Oceanside from kick-off to whistle. OCEANSIDE 0 - VALLEY STREAM 19 The brilliant offensive play of Valley Stream fullback Owen Scanlon, combined with an experienced Central line, proved to be too much for the Sailor eleven. Outplayed, but never outfought, Oceanside received its first defeat of the season. OCEANSIDE 0 - BALDWIN 20 With their running attack bogged down by heads up Oceanside lineplay, the Golden Wave uncorked a brilliant air attack. Baldwin scored twice on its passes and once by recovering its own fumble in midair, which Grotz ran around end for 15 yards to pay dirt. Arman Manookian sparked the losers with hard blocking and smart defensive play. Once again Corseri was the work horse for the Sailor eleven. OCEANSIDE 20 - MALVERNE 0 Playing in a downpour of rain, Oceanside got back into the winning column again by defeating an under-par Malverne team. The Mules could not match Oceanside's running attack and their passing game was of little threat to the Sailors. Tamburo ran hard to cross Malverne’s goal line twice and Probst plunged over for the final score. Ray Kenney was a stand-out with his accurate kicking and hard defensive play. OCEANSIDE 0 - LONG BEACH 12 Playing their best game of the season, the Beachers upset a favored and confident Oceanside varsity. Capitalizing on every break, Long Beach scored twice, early in the game, as a result of two Oceanside fumbles. Tamburo and Scharf played a hangup game of line backing. Piazza, Pansmith and McCabe were stand-outs in the Sailor line. OCEANSIDE 7 - SOUTH SIDE 14 Held without a score in the first quarter, Oceanside finally broke loose early in the second quarter when left-end Tom Brennan caught the Sider’s fullback before he could get a pass off, knocked the ball out of his hands, caught it, and ran 45 yards to score. Kenney kicked the extra point. Late in the second quarter, fullback Schwartz drove over from his 8 yard line and at half time it was a 7-7 tie. Oceanside put on drive after drive in the last half, behind the aggressive running of Gasper Corseri, but was unable to capitalize on these scoring potentials. In the last two minutes of play Sider halfback, Walter McKeon, played the part of the spoiler by going around his end for 5 yards. The winning score was registered. Injured all year, Co-Captain Bill Davidson finally saw action and played the rugged game he is noted for, along with our other Co-Captain Jim Damone, who made his share of tackles.

Oceanside's 1949-1950 basketball team was one of the leading teams on the South Shore. This success was mainly brought about by the all-around play of Dicky Abrams, Kenny Fisher, Ernie Arnold, Tommy Brennan, Ray Kenney, Red McGann, A1 Moriarty and Dick Dunham. Dick Abrams led the team in scoring as he had done for the two previous seasons. Kenny Fisher, sharpshooting forward, could always be relied upon for a top-notch performance. Ernie Arnold and Tommy Brennan, who played the forward positions in the team’s zone-defense, accounted for many points with numerous stolen passes and fast break layups. Ray Kenney concentrated mostly on ball handling and rebounding. Red McGann, A1 Moriarty and Dick Dunham were reliable performers. Out of my way.

Mr. Chase, our coach, has been turning out topnotch grunt and groaners” here at Ocean-side for many years. He is also starting a wrestling program in the grade schools, so that in the future, we will have more champions. Here are some of the wrestlers I was telling you about, Chris. These are what you might call our family group. We have two sets of brothers, the Davidsons and the Damones, and Mr. Chase and his son, Al. This one group has turned in many victories for O.H.S. Set, g s ?i f, Or is. Looks like a pin. Taking it easy. 1 Oh, if I had the wings of an angel Ray Kenney, Captain Will he catch it? The 1950 Varsity Baseball Team has a great deal to live up to in as much as last year’s team reached the district finals before being eliminated. From that team we have had such returning veterans as Ray Kenney, Ernie Arnold, Red McGann, Ned Carter, and Tommy Brennan. Add to these such former J.V. players as Norman Small, Rollie Smith, Wally Daly, A1 Moriarty and A1 Chase and you can see that this year's team is definitely ready for all opponents. Hit it Ernie!

Pretty good? Well, just wait. In a few days you will feel different. Look, here comes Arman Manookian, Dick Stark and Stitch Ahlers. They run the dashes. Over there are Happy Miller and George Fowler. They are the men of the hurdles. You know Jim Damone and Gasper Corseri, don't you? Well they throw the shot-put and discus. Our pole vaulters are Dick Ritz and Don Cohan. The gentlemen of our distance-runs are Charlie Ritter and Jim Knox at the half mile, and Bob Hubbard in the mile. All these veterans should show much success and raise the laurels of Oceanside to even greater heights. I was speaking to Mr. Helmcke, the coach, and he says the team should be good. CROSS COUNTRY Cross Country runs its races on a 2Vz mile course which is not exactly across a country but is not a sprint either. It takes a runner thirteen minutes to complete the course. Members of this year’s varsity team were R. Hubbard, B. Fleischman, C. Ritter, H. Ringerson, B. Suydam, H. Campbell, P. Roche, M. Levin, K. Han-selik and D. Mahoney. The overall record of the team was two wins and five losses. The wins were registered over Garden City and Westbury and the losses were to Mepham, Baldwin, Central, Lyn-brook and Malverne.

BASKETBALL Jr. Varsity The J.V. this year consisted mainly of Sophomores. There were only three Juniors, Ronnie Tierney, A1 Van Wickler and Tommy O’Donnell. Ronnie and A1 contributed experience to the team, having played basketball in their Sophomore year. Other members of the team were such Sophomore regulars as Eddy Jones, Joe Giampaolo, Norman Small, and Rollie Smith. The team was not too successful as far as actually winning games is concerned, but they did succeed in gaining the experience necessary for them to play fine basketball in their Varsity years ahead. WRESTLIiNG Jr. Varsity This year’s Junior Varsity wrestling team lost all four matches it participated in against Mepham, Central, Amityville and South Side. Most of the boys gained experience which should help them gain berths on next year’s Varsity. Standouts for the J.V. were Vito Surico, Jack Link, and Ken Hoelzer. GIRLS’ SPORTS HOCKEY Oceanside has had a very successful hockey season this year, Mr. Hook. Hockey Sportsday, which was held at Hofstra College, proved to be very exciting. Nine schools, including Ocean-side, participated, and the competition was quite keen. Our girls tied Lawrence for second and third place. Didn't make it that time, Ginny. Mrs. Ann Mangiapane. 8J GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls’ basketball started again this year with weeks of practice followed by a quick series of weeks in competition with other schools. At the end of the season, class teams were chosen and from them an Honor Team was composed of the top-notch players. All outside games were won. BASKETBALL HONOR TEAM: Ginny Odabashian. Terry Arrandale. Joan Sterrit, Eileen Canavan, Ann Riesmeier, Diane Vandeweghe, Lenore Nilsson, Joan O'Brien, Nancy Wright, Sue Schleich, Noel Cacace. 86 VOLLEYBALL Volleyball worked out very well this season. The girls obeyed the rules that Miss Lewis set up for them, and harmony prevailed throughout the teams. Both inter-class and inter-school meets were successful. The past and future are a bright spot in volleyball for Oceanside High School. I'm sure that you, Christian, would enjoy it, too. VOLLEY BALL HONOR TEAM: Terry Arrandale, Ginny Odabashian, Shirley Doyne, Joan Hoelzer, Winona Saunders, Evelyn Andersen. Lenore Nilsson.

I'm sure you would enjoy their dancing very much, Christian. ARCHERY I guess the Indians had already moved out of Oceanside by the time you came here Christian, but in spite of this fact, I think you would enjoy Oceanside’s fine archery team very much. Like many other sports, archery requires more skill than physical work. The archery honor team includes Carolyn Kline, Sue Baudendistel, Marianne Herzog, June Zatovich and Gail Schweizel.

I looked it up in the library and found that it is really a modification of an ancient game of battledore and shuttlecock.

You could be proud of the honor team, which was victorious both in spirit and playing ability. The beginners also did very well for themselves and have a very bright future in store. PING PONG Ping Pong is a game I kind of like myself, Christian. It has recently become very popular as a home game. Several girls came out for it and are very good players. They find it a good game for home as well as a school sport. Let's challenge them to a match, Chris. SOFTBALL Softball is a form of that great American sport, baseball, Chris.
