In order to help the graduate recall his high school days, we, the class of 1948, are presenting this annual. In it we have tried to depict both in Words and pictures the many activities and friends that have combined to make our high school life a pleasant one--and one that We will always cherish. We sin- cerely hope that our efforts have not been in vain. Board of Education Dominic I. Massa Leon I. Deming Leonard S. VVright Ruth Humphries Dwight S. Bishop Claude H. Iones President Superintendent Clerk Treasurer Truman A. Rogers Frank Tappen -1-, Superintendent LEON I. DEMING Listen to the exhortation of the dawn Look to this day, for it is Life The very Life of Life In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of our existence: The bliss of growth, the glory of action The splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. -From the Sanskrit Principal You leave Oyster Bay High School with my fondest good will for your future. For that much of your life as shall be given to you to control, I hope your decisions will be wise. But if you cannot always be wise, be honest to what you believe. And if we have taught you successfully, your honesty to the principles of human freedom will serve you Well. JOHN H.

The Class of '49 has been outstanding for its achievement in the field of athletics. With Gene Floyd and George Pirie as basketball stars, the class has gone far beyond its greatest expectations.

With all the activities they have gone into they have proven to be on top. At the beginning of the year, ten girls were chosen for the Iayvee -cheer- leading squad - they did a fine job ot cheering the team. Boys have also played an important part in class activities. Several have made different ath- letic teams. We must not forget the very successful Soph-Frosh party held April 9. Freshmen President - Ioseph Ferrera Vice-President Thomas Lehecka Secretary Anna Petrus Treasurer ------ Ioyce Wright Faculty Sponsor - Mr, Wilbur Phillips The ninth grade this year is a lively, aggressive group.

In their first encounter of the season, they lost to a strong Port Washington team 20-O. However, they bounced right into the winning column in the next game, by tak- ing a tight game from Manhasset 6-0. The ensuing game saw a much im- proved ball team romp over Northport by 3 touchdowns to none: the scoring being done by De Lucia, Nixon and Winslow. In the following game Oyster Bay went on to its third straight victory by defeating Smith- town. The fifth game -' of the season was with Oyster Bay's closest rival, Ros- as I ld I ' lyn. Before the 9 game, many of , the experts said S 'S the teams were iz..-.5 mo almost ldentical in power, and the spectators came to see a close game. As proved by the final score, however, Oyster Bay was by far the superior team, winning 36-0. In the East Rockaway game which fol- lowed, Oyster Bay ran into one of the best defenses of its campaign. Working hard. however, to maintain its streak, the Purp1e and Gold came out on top 20-0. Then they went on to defeat a weak Seton Hall team, making it six straight games without a defeat. The eighth and final game of the 1947 season took place at the Hempstead High School field, with South Side, a team which had a 27 game winning string. In this game Oyster Bay completely outplayed South Side in every department, but as fate would have it, they ended on the short end of a 13-7 score. Thus a successful season came to an eventful close. 1. 1 . I l 1' 1 'W .,' J W' 1, Z C. 4 W .. Ms- V As- -N Q f-'L Q. Q 1 v L -Q A U AA x S t ,f P' ?igYff5:AlLvi. f f'.,,....

They practiced more often than in previous years, but played the usual numiber of games. A hockey tield day at Friends' Academy in Locust Valley also found Oyster Bay represented. Rosemary Collery was the manager with Roseline Giddens serving as her assistant manager. The first honor team consisted of: Nancy Schroeder, Ginny Galletly, Margaret Dishington, Jane Caffrey, Allison Disbrow, Rosemary Collery, Pat Crawley, Sis Platt, Lilian MacDonald, Crharlotte Ritchie, Christine Farr-ell. IThose on the second team were: Ca-rol Hill, Nellie Moore, Mia Johnson, Martha Frana, Angie Cucci, Lillian Mariscalo, Inga Lundloorg, Jean Crawley, Thelma Turple, Barbara Ingram, Cynthia Cornford, Rose Giddens. The varsity schedule ran as follows: ' 2 Friends ..,............,........................

Rose Giddens with 4. Nancy Schroeder with 3, and Margaret Di-shington with 2. Girilsg Basketball tw, , , This year's average was fairly good, having lost only two games, tied one, winning five. The opening game was played against the Alumnae Team whom we beat. Our second game was at Friends' Academy. Tlhe O. B. girls lost this game by a score of 43-34. High scorer for that game was Ginny Galletly with 18 points. Pat Vincent and Lilian MacDonald eacrh made eight points. The second honor team won their game by a score of 26-25 with Roseline Giddens as high scorer, having 15 points. Sea Cliff, Roslyn, and Huntington proved three easy games for the girls to win. Then we came up against Hicksville - which wasn't as easy as the previous three games. The score was 21-30 at the end Of the third quarter in favor of Hicksvilleg but Oyster Bay came up to tie the score. Ginny Galletly ,then scored two more points to win the game by a score of 36-34. The second honor team lost their game 23-13. Glen Cove was the last adversary of the season. Oyster Bay lost this game by a slight margin of three points. The final score was 31-28. The second honor team was successful in defeating Glen 'Cove by a score of 26-22. High scorer of the year was Pat Vincent who scored a total of 57 points, fol- lowed by Ginny Galletly with 56, Lilian MacDonald with 46, and Jane Kraft with 12 points. The scores of the games were as follows: Oyster Bay Vistors Alumnae .............,...................................... . 31 1 Friends' Academy ..... 34 43 Sea Cliff .......,......,..., 32 19 Roslyn ........,..,......., 29 W T2 Huntington ...... 25 90 Hicksville .....,.. 36 34 Glen Cove ...... 28 31 Q --'ll--,, --f' EIKO X , X fpfw bf , IP Boysg Baslketba ll l If ever a Purple and Gold team had a right to be proud of its record, this yea'r's 'basketball out- fit should receive that honor. N-ot only did the club run away with the North Shore and Nassau County titles, but in Gene Floyd they produced the top scorer in Nassau County and a new rec- ord holder for the high school. This series of successes is the first of its kind to hit th-e local sports pages since the year of 1921, when the Purplites managed to win the 'North Shore trophy only to be nosed out by this same defeated Lawrence outfit for the County crown. N-o one suspected that OBlHlS would ever fashion a victory string of 12 straight during their campaign of 18 regularly sclheduled contests. This was also the longest :run Of Wins in the area. There were many highlights during this wonderful season of 1948. Among the first was the trip upstate to Amsterdam to play the opener against a strong St. Mary's five that had been, for a num- ber of seasons, the leader among Mohawk Valley Parochial Schools. Tlhe Baymen came home with a 36-28 win and with the memories of a Wonderful time among friendly people. Th-e return game also ended in an Oyster Bay victory. A high spot of this game was the dinner tendered the teams at Rothrnan's following the game. Another important item during the schedule was the first defeat off the season at the hands of a good Roslyn team 'by a decisive 61-38 count. This game began the oft-talked over controversy corvcerning the use of the 1947-48 rule of basketball that allows a new use of the three foot re- straining line. The game was -played under protest because of the fact that the officials would not allow our team to play accordinlg to the rulings. No doubt this had a tremendous affect upon the play of our club, but certainly should not detract from th-e fact that we sufrfered our first loss - the only league defeat of the season. The long standing rivalry 'between St. Dominic's and OBHS produced, as in other years, an- other pair of wild and Wooly contests. OB sneaked through the opener 31-30, but dropped the follow-up 49-36 on the opponents' hardwood. In both games a very aggressive and determined type of play was prevalent, which added to the tenseness of both fives. Packed gyms enjoyed the vil1age's contrilbution to bask-etlfall. During the -playoffs at the Jamaica Armory our cagers knocked off Garden City to the tune of 54-44 to clinch the North Shore crown, then beat Lawrence, the best from the South Shore, 37-35, in what proved to be the thriller of all thrillers. It was in the final game that the OB hoopsters showed their supporters that they had what it took, as they 'battled for a win right down to the wire, with Johnny Mazalewski dropping in the final two-pointer on a quick break lay-urp for the win and championship. During the regular season Floyd hit for 25 against Farmingdale, 24 against Sea Cliff and 30 against Hicksville. All during the year, it was the cool play of Captain Stan Wiercinski that pulled the club out of many a hole. When one of the scorers was off the beam, the captain came through with 15 or 20 to pull the game out of the fire. Too much can'it be said about the defensive play of Red De Lucia, who came through to play his best brand of ball when the chips were down. Pirie and Nixon were also invaluable as floor men and as defensive bulwarks. Jim Minicozzi proved to be an able balll hawk, a g'ood passer and a handy gent to have around, for he could play und-er the boards or out front. Phil Knox, Davis, and Oliver were invaluable for getting rebounds off the back boards in this season and for playing their best. The season was 'concluded by a dinner given by the Rotary Club at the Matinecock Inn. 1 ' . . I ' U: J x U- ,. 5. A if ' Q Q I Gi ,-1 :, , E 'E ss' kv U 1 -' 'N .,.. A, Q- 0 7' 'rbi'-Lf: ' .'

Minus such stars as Como Coronesi, Mario Vaccaro, Bob Stewart, and Joe Hammond, Duke Benz has moved other boys to fill their shoes. These boys have come through with flying colors. Among the track meets this year have been dual meets with Huntington, Sea Cliff, Glen Cove and Port Washington. The outstanding meet was the Port Wash- ington invitation meet which all the boys looked forward to and worked hard for all year. The traditional sweat boys are always seen on the indoor track sweating off that extra fat. Credit goes to Duke and all those who strove to accomplish as much as they could. 'F t in .x '- : XA kr at W Baseball Sixty prospective players answered Coach Crawley's call for baseball. All but' three of last year's squad returned, which gave Coach Crawley hopes of a splendid year. Twenty-one were selected for the team. On the mound were the veterans J im Jarman, Red De Lucia, newcomers Pat Coronesi, Dick Hauser and Fred James. Behind the plate were George Pirie, Vic Suspenski and Martin Johnson, to round off the catching staff. In the infield were Eugene Floyd, firstg Art Yanuchi and Dave Layton, secondg Tom Wright and Ed Meehan, short, and Joe Sus- penski, third. In the outfield were Bill Wins- low, Fred Ammirata, Tony Yanuchi, Charles Hall, Harrison Herbert, Mike Rich and Ed. Davis.

Capitol, where they saw the House of Representatives and Senate in session. They then proceeded to the Supreme Court building and the Congressional Library. A weary group of students finally arrived at the Hotel Roosevelt, where they resided during their stay. The evening of the first day included private excursions and parties, all very jovial. Tuesday morning they left in sightseeing buses for a tour of Washington and its environs. They viewed principal buildings, parks, homes of prominent persons, foreign embassies and legations. and famous monuments. They continued through Fort Meyer to the impressive Tomb ol the Unknown Soldier. After a short trip through the quaint town of Alexandria, they visited Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington. Here they spent a very pleasant time wan- dering about the beautiful grounds and adjacent buildings. After a short stop at the Lincoln Memorial, the class dined at the hotel. Their afternoon was spent at the National Gallery of Art and on a well-con- ducted tour through the FBI building, which proved to be most informative. The evening was free for individual entertainment followed by several hotel parties. Everyone seemed to draw his own happy ending for the last night tlcere. Wednesday morning, the seniors proceeded to the Bureau of Printing and En- graving, the Pan American Union Building, the White House and the last point of in- terest - the Smithsonian Institution. They arrived in Oyster Bay early Wednesday evening, with a host of mem- ories of their last rnafor event oi the year. BAND THE YEAR 1947-48 WITH OUR BAND The Junior-'Senior High School Band this year is composed of seventy-five students from grades seven to twlelve.

The football season began, during which time the ba-nd was particularly successful in many formations. An instrumental group played at the Senior Class Play.

COR YEAR'S ACTIVITIES OF CHORUS The Junior and Senior High School Crhorurses have 'been very busy this year. Mr. Will, our new choral instructor, has made many plans for the future.

The other members of the September staff were as follows: Managing editor, John Cantlayg Exchange editor, Veronica Dobiesg Circulation manager, Doris Mann and Business manager, Nancy Schroeder. With the coming of the New Year, the monthly journal started anew with many willing and interested juniors.

Urpon entering the Fashion Show, each lady was graciously given a small vial containing per- fume by the petite usherettes, Dot Moulder, Delores Wickham, Ethel Bernstein and Ann Rothman. Th-ey were dressed in White ballerina-length frocks and carried gaily decorated baskets which con- tained the perfume. Mrs. Ward, of Winward Inc., sponsors of the show, gave the introduction. The show was then turned over to Jane M-artineau, commentator for the evening. l'I1h-e first part of the show was devoted to casuals, ranging from cool white shorts for the t-snnis court to casual afternoon frocks, while the second ,part was comprised of stunning dresses for any occasion, made of rich fabrics and accentuated by the smiling models. The climax of the evening was the bridal scene. The bride, Mary Lou Wargo, was accompanied by her maid of honor, M-ary De Jesu, and brides-maids, Veronica Dobies and Virginia Galletly. They looked lovely in their g'owns. 'Dhe scene was a garden, complete with laurels placed around a white picket fence and dainty pastel flowers pee-ping from among the l-eaves. Than-ks to Florence Taylor and the Decorating Com- mittee for such excellent taste. At the end of the program Mrs. Wanser was presented with an exquisite bouquet of delicate reed roses and Mr. Luckerrbill was thanked for the soft piano melodies he played all during the show. Oysterette Staff The Oysterette staff of 1948 was chosen by a volunteer group of hard-working seniors. Mr. Nardone, our supervisor, was a great help in the editing of our yearbook. Much credit goes to the excellent staff chosen and to all the seniors who pitched in to make this yearbook possible. Editor-in-chief, Rosemary Colleryg Literary editor, Joan Schullerg Art editor, Pat Girolamog Publicity editor, Mario De Lucia: and Business manager, Willard Van Velsor were supported faithfully by a ready and able staff comprised of Ethel Bernstein, Mary De Jesu, Pat Vincent, Charlotte Ritchie, Doris Mann, Martha Frana, Barbara Samuelsen, Lilian Mac- Donald, Veronica Dobies, Angelo Abbate. This committee gave endless time to make this yearbook one of the best O. B. H. S. has ltad. From the beginning months of school to the time it went to press, everyone cooperated and did his share. The tasks of writing the articlesg having the right pictures takeng and preparing all copy that was to be sent to the publishers was ably handled and evenly distributed among the members of the staff. The l948 Oysterette staff bequeaths all the headaches a yearbook can bring to all future staffs and sincerely hopes they have as much fun making it up as we did.
