Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1954 volume:

Just picture yourself having a duel with the Three Musketeers, or sitting around King Arthur's Round Table, or going fishing with Tom Sawyer. These things are all possible if you would take the path that leads to knowledge, the library. There is no place except the library where you can seek adventure, travel, sports, and many other things. The reason so much is being said about the library in this edition of the yearbook can be summed up in one sentence: the theme for the 1954 Spindrift is the library. We, the staff of the yearbook, would like to thank Miss Kathleen Morrissey for her enduring patience and brilliant suggestions in helping to make our yearbook possible. 5 Thanks! CHARLES R. MOSBACK P r i n p a I 6 A GREAT MAN IS MADE UP OF QUALITIES THAT MEET OR MAKE GREAT OCCASIONS. LOWELL Did we say great? Well....... WHO is the man behind the scenes at Ocean-side? WHO is responsible for driver's education and retail selling? WHO stepped out and fought for Oceanside's Yearbook and Student Handbook? WHO, for that matter, has done such a swell job on the new High School addition, at Dr. Boardman's request? WHO gets graduates adjusted to life on their own, in either college or business? Just pause for a moment to think. WHO works to better the community through the Key Club? WHO has been so active in Kiwanis and countless other civic affairs? WHO is really okay in our school? WHO is EVERYBODY'S friend? He's none other than the guy who rates so high in this book: CHARLES R. MOSBACK Our Great Principal THE KINGS GENERAL CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER ALMA MATER Alma Mater Oceanside, We pledge again our love to thee. Unfurl our colors Blue and White To cheer the way to victory. And when our high school days are done. Our friendship's ties will still be strong; The memories of our battles won Re-echo now in this our song: Oh, Alma Mater Oceanside, We pledge again our love to thee. Unfurl our colors Blue and White To cheer the way to victory. 8 WHAT THEY ARE READING Table of Contents SO WELL REMEMBERED Administration-Faculty WHO S WHO Senior Section ALMANAC OF BOOKS The Student Body LUST FOR LIFE Activities CAVALCADE OF SPORTS Athletics OUR TOWN Advertisements THOMAS C. FETHERSTON THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM ANDREW S. SOUTHARD CHARLES H. GOLDIE CORNELIUS J. SAGER EARL BORGERSEN BOARD OF EDUCATION Oceanside High School wishes to present the Board of Education with a gold cup plentifully filled with the thanks and good will of all the students. The high aspirations and wonderful confidence instilled by these gentlemen is in such abundance that the overflow is transmitted into the hearts of all the pupils of the Oceanside Public Schools. It is the unselfish devotion of these men to their responsibility for direction of the affairs of our school that has earned them wide respect. DR. W. S. BOARDMAN - Superintendent of Schools THE LEADER OF THE PEOPLE Year after year the blue ribbon for outstanding service has been awarded to Dr. Walter S. Boardman. His high ideals are manifested in all phases of his daily living. Policies of the Board of Education are executed by Dr. Boardman with the utmost integrity and sound judgment. His leadership as Superintendent of Ocean-side Public Schools has made his name a highly respected one in educational circles, while his keen foresight and tireless planning has been of immeasurable benefit to the student body as well as the community as a whole. Mr. Mosback THIS I DO BELIEVE t THE FAITHFUL FEW Tried and true, Mr. Mosback is the guiding light of Oceanside High School. A man of tremendous ability, to whom the high standard of our school can be attributed. Miss Kinkade provides all seniors with the inspiration to further their careers. Her fabulous drive for progress has been the incentive for our varied curriculum. Oceanside High School's Girl Fridays are the foundation of a smoothly run administration. Their diligent work and enduring effort are the two main factors of their success. To the administration of Oceanside High School we present an Oscar for their outstanding performance. Miss Kinkade THREAD THAT RUNS SO TRUE ALL IN A DAY'S WORK Mrs. Sammis, Miss Canavan, Mrs. Fellers, Mrs. Gan-dol, Miss Hagen, Mrs. Wright, seated Mr. Purcell with Mrs. Pauline Sammis Miss Kathleen Morrissey ALWAYS LEAVE THEM LAUGHING HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE Mr. Donald J. Purcell LIBRARY A world of magic and make believe where our every dream can be fulfilled. This fulfillment can only be attained through the efforts of our librarian. Though small in stature, Miss Morrissey's wide knowledge of books has been an asset to every student. GUIDANCE Due to the efforts of our guidance counselors. Miss Kinkade and Mr. Purcell, many an Oceanside student has looked forward to a successful future. Through the expert clerical assistance of Mrs. Sammis, the guidance office is kept in efficient order. GREAT EXPECTATIONS 14 ROOM FOR ONE MORE Miss Regina McDonough VICTORY DENTAL HYGIENIST As soon as the word dentist is mentioned most of us turn and run the other way. But what a difference the charming and amiable personality of our dental hygienist makes toward helping us combat this fear. NURSE An important part of any school system is the nurse. In case of emergencies, or illness, the morale of the students is helped by knowing that they have someone reliable and cheerful to turn to.

What wonderful doors open before us as we learn the language and customs of other people of the world. A feast of new words is spread at our feet and we must take advantage of the dpportunity to learn them. This is possible through the language department of Oceanside High School. Spanish, French, and Latin are the foreign languages offered through which the students may become acquainted with languages other than their own. A four-year course in English is given so that the pupil!s viewpoint may be broadened and he can learn to express himself more freely. history One score and two years ago, our founders brought forth into this town a new school, conceived in education and dedicated to the proposition that all students have equal rights to knowledge. Now we are engaged in the study of History, learning how this nation and other nations have long endured. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we must'not forget, we must not omit, we must perpetuate these facts. The world may little note nor long remember what we do here, but the students can never forget. We here highly resolve that these teachers shall not have strived in vain; that this course shall have a new birth of knowledge,- that the history of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

The banisters of the staircase symbolize the math teachers who assist the students in their ascent to higher mathematics. This can be summed up in the equation: MATH TEACHERS-i MATH STUDENTS + A LITTLE IMAGINATION = JUNIOR EINSTEINS HUCKLEBERRY FINN THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE TOM SAWYER Mr. David Waterson Mathematics—History Mr. Harry Waldron Mathematics Mr. William Gerek Mathematics—Business Law EUCLID Miss Elaine Rapp Mathematics ART The builder learns to build, the doctor learns to cure, but an artist must be born —with the power to create. Mrs. Pollard helps Oceanside's struggling young artists to develop their ability and power of expression. General Art gives the student a solid foundation upon which he may further his art career. Basic Art helps to develop individuality. Advanced Art gets the student adjusted to his life's ambition. Best of luck young REMBRANDTS! LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS HOW TO DRAW IN TEN EASY LESSONS TIME AND TIME AGAIN Mrs. Louise Pollard Art and Graphic Arts THE SAXON CHARM Miss Olga Johnson Homemaking—Cafeteria HOMEMAKING Though Homemaking is but one small part of the varied curriculum of our school, it is nevertheless one of the most important. Here is the framework for every modern, efficient housewife of the future. The coming homemakers of America are taught the arts of sewing, knitting, and becoming the economic planners of the next decade. Miss Johnson supervises and aids these girls in their varied activities. It is her hope that some day they may be able to turn the gaunt framework of a house into something cosy like home sweet home. THE ROBE 21 PRIVATE SECRETARY SPEED DEMON CATHERINE HIBBS Secretarial School TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: It has been our understanding that the secretarial course at Oceanside High Schooj. offers the best of training for future secretaries. We feel secure in our belief that anyone of your girls is capable of handling a smoothly run business office. Sincerely yours. Catherine Hibbs. POWER OF CONCENTRATION Miss Wilhelmina Nunnenkamp Secretarial TAKE A LETTER Miss Mary Sullivan Stenography—Typewriting HOT ROD Mr. Robert Sodemann Driver Education DRIVER EDUCATION The 1954 Spindrift is happy to welcome into Oceanside's curriculum a driver education course. This course is designed to make the teenage drivers of today the more competent, careful drivers of tomorrow. Mr. Sodemann's talks on safety on the roads, coupled with actual experience in handling a car, helps students to understand the essentials of good driving. HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN Miss Madolyn Pancoast Distributive Education DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Theory in merchandising and information regarding the basic fabrics used in women's, men's and children's clothes, information which will help them either as employers or consumers, is taught in the Distributive Education classes. The cooperative, part-time student has an opportunity to put this theory into practice, and is given a unit of credit for satisfactory work experience. 23 POPULAR MECHANICS Mr. J. Howard Cooper Industrial Arts INDUSTRIAL MECHANICS Mr. William H Wollace Industrial Arts ILLUSTRATED MECHANICS Mr. Stanley Smitten Industrial Arts INDUSTRIAL ARTS To the boys of our school, Oceanside offers a course in Industrial Arts where they are taught the importance of modern machinery and the correct techniques in handling up-to-date appliances. As the name indicates, General Shop is the foundation of all other activities included in this course. Letter Press Work, Linoleum Block Printing, Silk Screening and Book Binding are some of the end results accomplished by the students taking General Printing. Advanced Industrial Art students may obtain experience in both building, model house construction, and model aircraft construction through General Woodworking. HAPPY BUILDING, FUTURE BUILDERS! MR. PEEPERS Mr. Charles Pieper Science—Physics LOUIS PASTEUR Mr. Joseph Muller Science—Chemistry ROBERT KOCH Mr. William Eckhoff Science—Biology SCIENCE Science is a hub around which revolve the planets of Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Each field in itself plays an important part in the makeup of the world. It is essential that ♦he students of any school have a wide knowledge of scientific facts. Oceanside High School's science department not only fulfills this aim, but has extra curricular activities to supplement. The Science Club supplies the students with a chance to put their knowledge to work. Biology acquaints them with information concerning organic matter. Chemistry shows us what the essentials of life contain, while Physics gives us a chance to apply our concepts. OUT OF THIS WORLD YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES LEADER CORPS Joyce Hoffman, Janet Knight GIRLS GYM Let's go Blue Let's go White Let's go Blue and White FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! This is the cry resounding through Oceanside's gym as the girls in blue vie against each other in sports. Volleyball, Softball, Badminton and Tennis are but a few of the sports in which the girls form happy, competitive teams. Miss Lewis and her capable assistant, Miss Alessio, are responsible for the success of the gym classes. Miss Ruth Lewis Girls' Physical Education 26 TOP FLIGHT Mr. William Helmcke Boys' Physical Education Mr. Frank Mangiapane Physical Education BOYS GYM Sports play a major role in the life of every healthy American boy. Physical fitness is an essential requisite which enables today's youth to continue progress through life at a steady rate. The Physical Training program of Oceanside High School is divided into four parts. The first consists of the outdoor sports, Football and Soccer. The second is Basketball and Wrestling. The third, Apparatus and Tumbling. And the fourth. Baseball and Tennis. THE COACH BIG ENOUGH 27 MUSIC MAESTRO PLEASE Mr- Edwin Benachowski Music, Band, Orchestra Music Maestro please , is the avid cry of Oceanside students as our band swings into view. Because of the talent and versatility of their able leader, Mr. Benachowski, our music makers can play anything from be-bop to Beethoven. Their participation in assembly programs greatly supplements the enjoyment of all students. Mr. Benachowski is also the proud father of an up-and-coming orchestra. His untiring effort on behalf of this group has resulted in one of the best orchestras in the history of our school. The chorus is another of his more ambitious and completely new ideas. Is it any wonder that the pupils of Oceanside are humming Music In The Air ? 28 4 CATHERINE ACIERNO Her manner is calm and pleasant. Her sweetness ever present.

First of all they had a Senior Play. The house was sold out and there was standing room. The play received such terrific notices that it was really hard to believe a group of amateurs could do such a fine job. The next thing the seniors set out to do and that also proved successful was Senior Day. The senior-teachers took their jobs over with confidence and it showed in the results. The Seniors of 1954 can really be proud of their wonderful accomplishments. The class should do the same type of work in their plans for the future and it will almost be guaranteed that they will reap fine profits. SENIOR ADVISORS Miss M. Sullivan, Mr. S. Poleshuk, Mrs. A.

Everyone pitched in and got onto a committee to aid in obtaining posters, refreshments, tickets and decorations.

TALENT SHOW The talent show this year was the first show that was ever given by the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors all at one time. Each class had representatives who performed in some kind of entertainment or other. The Sophomores offered Linda Wolheim singing and Betsy Dunnet doing a monologue. Jenny Tesar playing the piano, Don Clark, Cherry White, and Bridget Picone each singing, represented the Junior class. And the Seniors came up with Pat Tibone dancing, and Tibone's Ballerinas. The Ballerinas, dressed in wrestling tights, crepe-paper skirts, and T-shirts were Dave Rachofski, Ed Lauber, John Solarski, Bob Hunter, Roy Murray, and Dave Jurist. The Talent Show of 1954 was a tremendous success and proved how the three classes can work together in perfect harmony. FROM THESE CAME MUSIC Richard Foster THE ISOMETTES Row 1, L-R: J. Goldie, C.

The club meets every Monday night and is sponsored by The Ocean-side Kiwanis Club. Under the leadership of Waldo Bennetter, they take charge of dances and other activities related to the school. Vice-President, Ross Bunning, gives a helping hand in these undertakings. Dick Barker and Peter Duff carry out their jobs as Treasurer and Secretary to the best of their ability. The Key Club is definitely an asset to the school and community of Oceanside. MASQUE SOCIETY Row 1, L-R: B. MacDougall, L. DeGeorgio, A. Heyder, C. Collins, M. Carman, J. Guinter, E. Unbekant, D.

OVER THE FOOTLIGHTS MASQUE SOCIETY The Masque Society is the school's dramatic club. It enables those interested in this field to gain experience not only in acting, but in stage set design, publicity, and other back stage activities. Each year around March, the club puts on a full length play in which every member participates. This year's play was a well presented drama titled High Ground. Under the able direction of Mr. Jacob Padgug, President Arline Stehle, Vice-President Elise Unbekant, Treasurer Carolyn Rothhaar, and Secretary Dorothy Winters, a few members of this organization have also become members of the National Thespian Society, for their outstanding work in behalf of Masque. 84 HIGH GROUND Cast of Characters Nurse Phillips Louise DeGeorgio Nurse Brent Diane Cestari Sister Josephine Virginia Southard Willy Pentridge Harvey Golub Sister Mary Bonaventure Arline Stehle Dr. Jeffreys Peter Duff The Mother Superior Carolyn Rothhaar Melling Anthony Suchan Sarat Carn Gladys Newbold Miss Pierce Barbara Naeher Martha Pentridge Andrea Lerner Director Mr. Jacob Padgug Stage Manager Elise Unbekant Asst.

BOYS' AND GIRLS' LEADERS CORPS The purpose of Leaders Corps is to provide a medium by which the student's quality of leadership may be developed and utilized. The members of these groups must not only assist in physical education classes, but must also do their part toward the advancement of the school and community. Candidates for Leaders Corps must have, and maintain, high scholastic averages in order to become regular members. They must also have those qualities necessary to help uphold the high moral standards of our school. LEADER CORPS Row 1: L-R, G. Schaub, R. Giampaola, M. Moriarity, J. Hoffman, P. Tibone, J.

Each person in the club has a project consisting of what he is most interested in. Under the supervision of Mr. Eckhoff the club meets once a week. FUTURE NURSES OF AMERICA The purpose of two new organizations in the school. Future Nurses of America and Future Teachers of America, is to advise their members in following chosen careers. The students who are to become nurses are given a chance to visit hospitals where they can participate in some of the work. There they can see the nurses in various special fields performing their daily responsibilities as maternity nurses, practical nurses, and registered nurses.

FUTURE TEACHERS The Future Teachers have a chance to teach one day in an elementary school where they can gain first-hand experience and see whether the work is what they really want to do or not. Both of these clubs give the students who are not yet certain of their choices in careers a preview of two very fine professions. CAFETERIA STAFF L.-R.: Mrs. June Golder, Mrs. Hilda Osterheld, Mrs. Florence King, Mrs. Mae Ferrara, Mrs. Elsie Cornell; foreground. Miss Olga Johnson, Director. CAFETERIA AND CUSTODIAN STAFFS Cooking, said a famous gourmet, is the art of preparing food for the nourishment of the human body. And coffee-making, he added, is an almost lost art. The Cafeteria Staff, under the direction of Miss Olga Johnson, are culinary experts, and no Frenchman, not even Brillat-Savarin himself, could ever say anything uncomplimentary about their coffee. In fact, it is the sort that nourishes the soul. The Cafeteria Staff works daily to vary our menus, make the meals pleasant and attractive, balance them, and encourage pupils to eat as if in their own homes. The responsibility of keeping our classrooms clean, and caring for the school in other ways, rests upon the shoulders of our wonderful custodian staff. From morning to night Mr. Glenwood Terrell and his men work to make O. H. S. the pride of all attending. They pick up lost sweaters, get fountain pens and notebooks to the lost-and-found, and in every way try to make life at school a happier and cleaner one for us all.

We mean the library assistants who so willingly search with us for the books that make book reports, the art crew that spends numberless hours after school working on the beautiful posters that adorn our walls, and the photographers whose long extra hours cannot be paid for in dollars and cents. Our heartfelt thanks to all of them. 95 UP FROM SLAVERY Evelene Miller, who typed two-thirds of the Yearbook. Sometimes the ready office staff receives recognition, as at Christmas!

The number of boys who tried out for the team was impressive and encouraging because interest from the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors means better teams in the future. There were only three goals scored during the whole year. Two of these were scored on penalty kicks by the center half back and captain, Ed Lauber, and the other by Jim McNaughton, our center forward. Even though there were only three goals scored the team's defense was fairly good and one of the main stays was Ralph Evino, a sophomore who is expected to show great things in the future.

It saw them back in the Rifle League again, with expectations running high for an outstanding team in 1954-55. Many sophomores were in the club this year, and they planned to continue next year. The team practised almost every day and held two matches a week with other schools from the time the season started early in the Autumn to the time it ended around the first of the year. Helmut Allman, Bob Van Sise, and Ian Tesar were outstanding marksmen this year. Mr Fetherston, their advisor, taught safety in the use of firearms, and good sportsmanship. He also encouraged the Rifle Club to remember that after graduation they may enter many private organizations like Trapshooting groups, or the National Rifle Association. BIG SCOOP What keeps an Oceanside High School girl young and happy after graduation, and what gives her the zest for living that she had in her teens? An after-school activity, of course. That is where hockey comes in as the ideal stepping stone for the girl athlete following graduation. During school days O. H. S. plays inter-class and with other schools for pure enjoyment. We have had teams that were rated among the best on the Island. But hockey's appeal is even greater to our seniors because of the chance to continue with the sport and meet wonderful players from faraway places. An assemblage to choose future players from among the seniors of this locality is held each year at Jones Beach. The graduates are given the Salisbury Field to play on during the summer, and later come up against teams from England, Ireland, and all over the world. This year's school team was an outstanding one, just as many in the past have been. HOCKEY TEAM Seated: J. Knight. Kneeling: J. Scarinzi, J. Sewell, N. Acton, P. Tibone, S. Fee, G. Hagstad, C.

BIG LEAGUE The Varsity Basketball team finished its season with an unimpressive three win and fourteen lost record. The victories of the season were over East Rockaway, Mepham and Baldwin and were highlighted by the rebounding and defensive play of Bob Hunter, Dave Rachofsky, and Roger Meyer, as well as the playmaking and scoring of Bob Simms, Don Denton, and Ed Lauber. Returning lettermen Bob Nelson, Ralph Evino, and Dave Jurrist will strengthen next year's team. LITTLE LEAGUE Although the J. V. Basketball team did not do too well this year, the boys enjoyed playing for Coach Arthur Wright, who was a star forward for the championship team in 1945. The team lost some games by very close margins—but they gave the opposing teams much tougher battles than had been anticipated. Howard Lefkowitz led the team's averages with thirteen points; Steve Levine and George Angel with ten points. The rest of the team averaged between five and ten points. J. V.

WRESTLING This year in the South Shore Wrestling Tournament Oceanside gave a very good account of herself, even though being put into Section 1 by coming in fourth with fourteen points. Steve Friedman won second place in the 136-pound class. He wrestled Ken Fisher from Mepham in the finals. Fisher beat him by a score of only 2-0. Other wrestlers from Oceanside who placed in the tournament are Frank Churchill who was fourth, along with Pat Gorman, Chuck Evers, and Alex Goris. VIEWS OF SPORTS THE MAT MEN 107 BOYS TENNIS The year 1953 found the tennis team weakened by the '53 graduation, but rebuilding with sophomores and freshmen. There were, however, a few players wi h past experience to form the backbone of the team. The supporters of this backbone were Dave Jurrist, Bob Hunter, Dave Depp, Larry Berman, Jon Minikes, and Barry Braverman. Mr. Mangiapane proved that he can also coach tennis as well as basketball.

With many of last year's good tennis players back, this year's team smashed their way through to a successful season. During practices, a round robin tournament is held and each girl is given points according to her placement. The highest placing girls are sent to play at other schools and at P I a y d a y . Competing against nine other schools at Play-day, the team came in fourth. Among this year's top scorers are Barbara Bedard, Carolyn Rothhaar, Janice Toedtman, Gladys Newbold, Dorothy Winters and Carolyn Carlson. BOYS BOWLING The Bowling Team of Oceanside was coached for the first time by Mr. William Helmcke. After a slow start the team finished strong in its first effort in Section One. Jack Cornell led the team with a score average of 172, John Miller 150, Jim Hill 146, Jim Mc-Naught 145, and Dave Wendt 144, making up the team of five. Although they will lose three of their members at graduation, there are good potentialities in the J. V. which offer a promising season next year. GIRLS BOWLING TEAM Sifting, V. Haag, L.

Central scored 1-2-6-9, and Oceanside came in second place with 1-2-6-8. The leading girl was Jo-Ann Haag whose average was 141.

The girls are picked for honor team by first proving their skill at after-school practices, then by making their class team, and finally by proving themselves the cream of the crop . Tops in volleyball this year are R. Giampaolo, S. Dunn, A. Maissl, S. Fee, J. Knight, G. Schaub, J. Hoffman, S. Cromier, D. Green, B. Nilsson, D. Duplessis, B. Bedard and G. Latulippe. BASKETBALL Dribble, drive, pass and shoot. Keeping all this in mind, the girls' basketball team won two out of four games against some pretty stiff competition. The honor team went on to come in second place at Play-day. This year's globe-trotters include Judy Hoffman, Rose Giampaolo, Carol Goerlitz, Dorothy Green, Alma Kattenhorn, Gladys Newbold, Greta Hagstad, Diana Duplessis, Shiela Dunn and Beverly Nilsson. Although the team is losing some splendid seniors this year, there is A-l material coming up. GIRLS BASKETBALL 1st row, L-R: D. Duplessis, B. Nillson, R. Dirkes, S. Dunn. 2nd row, L-R: C.

A large number of girls participate in this activity, which is dedicated to sportsmanship, and good, clean fun. The girls vote for captains and co-captains, and they in turn choose their teams. This year's captains are Rose Giampaolo and Jackie Bennet for the Blue, and Pat Tibone and Janet Knight for the White. Sportnite consists of many things, such as an entrance theme, marching, songs, cheers, and games. L-R: Rose Giampaolo, Jaqueline Bennett, Diane DuPlessis, Beverly Nilsson. SPORTNITE - 1954 L-R: Barbara Henderson, Sheila Dunn, Janet Knight, Pat Tibone. WHITE TEAM This year the Blue team entrance was called The Blues in the Night, and the White's was entitled, The Life of a Girl's Hat. For everything done in Sportnite, there are a certain number of points awarded for entrance, marching, songs and cheers, games, pre-organization, and organization. Although the girls devote much time and energy to Sportnite, everyone agrees that the wonderful feeling of being proud of their efforts makes the time seem well spent. PAT TIBONE MODERN DANCE Many a sore muscle has been endured by our modern dance girls during their rigorous movements. It has been well worth these aches and pains, however, for the result is a talented group who perform with the grace of professionals. Once a year a Modern Dance Assembly is held, to enable this group to show how far they have progressed throughout the year. Besides learning the fundamentals of modern dance, the girls are given a chance to express themselves by making up and performing dances of their own. Though comparatively new, this Modern Dance group has come into its own, and is recognized by the school as a definite success. To Mrs. Ann Mangiapane, their teacher, goes unlimited praise.
