' E 1 ' ':'::'i ye DEDICATIO Thirty-eight years is a long time to devote to serving mankind as a teacher. The class of 1955 hereby dedicates this yearbook to a man who spent these years guiding and inspiring students at Oyster Bay High School. Peter R. Borzil- leri, who passed away in March of this year, had been, since 1917, a teacher, counselor, and an example of right living to all his pupils. lf we who read this strive to have his qualities of integrity, dignity, and humility, success will be ours, as surely as it was his, for no one could be more successful in living a life so worthy of emulation. 3 i . .T 1' '-fifwzef? g.'f'f'r't.,,' Z e Five-fl. 145.7 sez?-E. 41-l. la. . ,'I,,y'L 1, Y' . tm., i 4 . , ,g...J. -1 1 V ' :QPF L Sui., if A Glad to have had you aboard . As you leave this training ship for your permanent berth, our best wishes for a successful cruise go with you. Do not expect smooth sailing all the way. Lite has a way of tempering us all, without exception. This is good, for the pleasure of sail- ing, or living, would be spoiled by the monotony it each day were the same. As you sail through the unknown waters of the future, keep your ship in Bristol fashion, and face each new course without fear. sooo LUCK! xx Superintendent of Schools .XS Oyster Bay harbor, nicely landlocked and having a deep-dredged channel devoid of treacherous rocks, is considered a sheltered and safe anchorage for small boats. It is fine for the launching, testing, and break-in of these craft and, within its kind embrace, repairs and alterations can be made with ease. Even accidents are not too serious for the shore and docks are close at hand ready to take over in the event of emergency or in case weaknesses have shown up in the trials. A day of final approval is set-and having completed the trial period, the new boat may be passed as ready for the open water where things are neither safe nor cozy, nor is the dry dock close at hand. lf the inspection and tests were thorough, the timbers are sound and will withstand the roughness of the waves, if weaknesses have gone undiscovered or unchanged, misadventure may befall the crew and much can be lost. So let it be with you, our Oyster Bay class of 1955. We hope your ropes are strong, your timbers sound, and that all sails are set to a brisk and steady breeze. We expect you'll soon be coursing on the Sound and we look forward to your reaching out to the ocean, the seas are rougher there but the opportunities to travel far are great. With a steady hand on the helm and the bow pointed into the wind, a bit of fresh paint when needed and regular polishing of the brass, your boat is ready for anything that comes. Happy sailing! Left to right Mr. John W. Stevens, Mr. Dominic J. Massa, Mr. Leonard S. Wright Mr Dowd Bernstein, Dr. John M. Lohr, Mr. Ernest Chamberlin, and Mr. Lester George Mrs Ruth Humphries, missing. As President ot the Board of Education, it is a real privilege to wish all of you Godspeed , as you launch your ship for your journey through life. What is past is preparation, the fitting-out of the ship you are to sail. Now you, and only you, can take the helm, you may ask for advice in charting your course , you can seek the help of those who have preceded you, but you alone are the Master of the ship, and only you can make the final decisions. May Good Fortune be with you! .fffgy President, Board of Education 6 if ERQXA X Z QKJQYYJJXB CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION Mr. lrving Ruclcel, Mr. Maflhew Gaynor, Mr. William Andrews, Mrs. Lillian Wanser, and Mr. Ralph Sparrow.

As freshmen, it was hard to believe that someday we would rise to the exalted position of seniors. Nevertheless, we knew that some- day we too would be boarding a busfar Wash- ington, D. C., and that we had to prepare, for it. 'iSiUCCe5SfUl, but the crowning glory came with the To help us up the first rung of the 'laclderflwe ,-f' elected Lucille Vaccaro president, Joe'Girolam'o vice-president, Gertrude Hunter secretary, and Jean Diedrich treasurer. Ou St m,on'ey-mak-.. mg activity was a successful., unpo party. When we returned n'ext'fqll os sophomores, we realized that ourf.Qclass,vvas growing ever, it larger, and that we.5y6gere a step higher on the ladder to seniority. T6 guide us in this year's proiects, we elected as president, Larry Remsen, as vice-president, Joe Girolamo, as secretary, Gertrude Hunter, and as treasurer, Jean Died- rich. To start us on our way to a very prosperous year, we sold tickets to a flower show and sponsored on alumni basketball game. As the year progressed, we started work on our first dance, the Sweethearts' Swirl . This was such a success that we followed it up with a Sadie Hawkins Dance. In addition to the distinction we enioyed as a class, many individual sophs were making names for themselves: Jayvee and varsity squads found many of our classmen among them. Four sophomores were elected by the student body to lead the G.O. the following year. They were: president, Joe Girolamo, vice- president, Charles Lambertson, secretary, Dotty Platt, and treasurer, Trixie Clyde. We realized, when we became iuniors, that time was going fast. This was the year to boost our treasury to an all-time high, and we were ready to do iust that! We now knew each other thoroughly, and were able to select four capable iuniors as our class olficers. Larry Rem- sen was our president, Angelo D'Andre our vice- president, Gertrude Hunter our secretary, and Jean Diedrich our treasurer. Mrs. Viatori and Mr. Parr again were our sponsors, and their support- helped us greatly. This was the year we launch'ed many of our most memorable ac- fti'vities,' including several cake sales and a dance, the Hula Hop . These events were all Junior Prom, Japanese Fairyland . In a magi- cal setting complete with pagoda and dragon, we enjoyed that never-to-be-forgotten night, our last event of the year. Again members of the class of '55 were 'coming into the limelight. The varsity teams were composed almost entirely of iuniors, and thiifizgleaders of many organizations were also igiunigrs. A member of our class, Esther Bain, be- cameighwe first girl to serve as G.O. president.

Our four-day trip to Washington also was a wonderful experience for us. Now, looking back on our four years in O.B.H.S., we know that we can be proud of what we have accomplished, both individually and as a class.

'fx l' EG I X A top-notch play, yet not one known to everybody, a play that would be remembered as entertaining, a play that was amusing, yet not a farce: that was what the Class of 1955 wanted for their Senior Play. The play meeting these requirements, in the eyes of both faculty and students, was The Youngest , a three- act comedy by Philip Barry. The Youngest told of a young author, Richard Winslow, and his attempts to free himself from his tyran- nical family. The owners of a prosperous pin-manufac- turing concern, the elder, more sensible Winslows were convinced that Richard, the youngest , should get that crazy writing bee out of his bonnet and settle down with the family pins. Fighting a lonely, losing battle, Richard got a friend and staunch supporter from an unexpected quarter. Pretty, vivacious Nancy Blake, a houseguest of his sister, took an interest in his plight. With a little skillful management on Nancy's part, Richard put his family to rout in a totally unexpected-and very funny- maneuver and estabished his rights as an individual. Members of the cast were: Richard Winslow . . . John De Madaler Nancy Blake . . .. . Esther Bain Charlotte Winslow . Wilma Pinkerton Oliver Winslow . , . 4 Thomas Moffitt Mark Winslow ...., ., . . Stuart Hastings Augusta Winslow Martin , Carol Ann Murphy Alan Martin ....,. ,.,. .... . . Ward Smith Martha f Muff J Winslow , . Gertrude Hunter Katie .,........,. ..,.. . Sally Withers Many thanks are due our wonderful clirector, Mr. Grady, without whom the play would not have been possible, and also to student director Charles Lambertson. In years to come, members of the Class of 1955 will fondly remember the deft mixture of comedy, pathos, and romance which was our Senior Play- The Youngest . - j L .-.ffl .. ,...,. ' A SENIOR PROM On the evening of January 29, 1955, over a hundred couples spent a wonderful evening in Stardust . The occasion was, of course, the Senior Prom. The theme was carried out in various ways through the entire gym, on two walls were city scenes and on a third was an enormous replica of the Stardust score. The centerpiece, where the pictures were taken, was a fantastic, glittering twelve-pointed star. From the ceiling sparkled hundreds of tiny gold and silver stars. Big event of the evening was the crowning of the Prom queen and her attendants. Ann Marie Zwakhals was chosen queen and Betty Ann Manarel and Joyce Fildstedt the attendants by Richard Maltby of Stardust Mambo fame. After the Prom, many couples went to the various night spots and parties, but to the members of the Class of '55, Stardust was the important occasion, and this lovely dance will linger in many minds during years to come. 4 l i 33 , . N. -4 . sl At seven o'clock on the morning of March 24, three buses containing more than cz hundred sleepy seniors pulled away from O.B.H.S.-destina- tion, Washington, D. C. The first important stop of the day for this group, which included chaperones Mr. Nodell, Mr. and Mrs. Chefec, and Mr. and Mrs, Parr, was Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where we saw the famous electric map depicting the battle. Next stop was Washington and our hotel, the Windsor Park. gigs . or 4 ,-- 4 ir Yg,:,g..--- 3 WASHINGTO Friday morning, we were out touring bright and early, seeing the Bureau of Printing and Engrav- ing, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Pan- American Building, and the Arlington National Ceme- tery. In the afternoon, we saw the Capitol and Supreme Court buildings. That evening, many of our seniors went either to the movies or to the Am- bassador Hotel to swim. .fig 1 -r 1 FQ - .xx - .f-Nun' 'JSR IINI On Saturday, we went to Washington's home at Mount Vernon and through the White House. In the afternoon, many of us got our ex- ercise for the entire trip by climbing the 898 long steps leading to the top of the Washington Monu- ment. After this, we went to the vastly impressive Franciscan Monastery. The evening was spent at a party in the hotel's dining room. Sunday morning, after church, we went to the huge Smithsonian Institute museum and then started the long drive home, which was broken by a stop at Annapolis. Late Sunday evening, three buses pulled up to Oyster Bay High School-buses filled with seniors even more sleepy than they had been four days before.

GENERAL ORGANIZATION This year's General Organization has been one of the most successful O.B.H.S. has ever had. Under the capable leadership of Esther Bain, the first girl to hold the presidency in more than ten yearsp Vincent Sangermano, sophomore vice-president, and Diana Higgins and Joan Orton, iunior secretary and treasurer, the Student Council sponsored several new proiects. In November, the first annual Football Hop was held in the gym. With at- tendants from the seventh through the twelfth grades, Tony Oddo and Betty Ann Manarel were crowned King and Queen. The G.O. also sponsored simultaneous cake sales in the outlying towns in order to raise funds to send the football team to Port Jervis. During the pre-Christmas season, the Student Council sponsored two charitable projects: a Mitten Line and the making of tray favors for hospitals in the vicinity. The new year brought plans for a Basketball Hop, a Red Cross Council, and a Girls' Athletic Association. Fiinally, in May elections were held for new officers. The entire student body should be proud of their G.O. and shouldn't forget their thanks to the G.O.'s sponsors, Mr. Sparrow and Mr. Andrews. x Tm! 50 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS President .......,,.., Charles Lambertson Vice-President . . . ..,., Stuart Hastings Secretary ...,,...,.....

The member- ship consisted of sixty-eight musicians: six flutes, one E flat clarinet, sixteen B fiat clarinets, two alto clarinets, two bass clarinets, seven saxophones, three French horns, fifteen cornets, four trombones, two baritones, three tubas, five percussion, and two marimba and bells. The graduating Seniors are: Carol Ann Strath, tiuteg Gertrude Hunter, Stuart Hastings, John Meany and Nancy Coschignano, clarinetsg George Smith, saxophonep and Robert Gwynne, baritone. Every one of these seniors is an outstanding musician and they will certainly be missed next year. The twirling corps consists of Carol Ingram, Miriam Yannotti, Jean Birkland, Mary Ann Scienski, and Bergit Behrmann. The officers were: President-George Smith, Vice-President-Fred Boerump Secretary-Gertrude Hunter, Treasurer-Gerald Raymon. Football season kept the band busy playing at pep rallies, for home football games, and for that memorable trip to Port Jervis. The band and football team stayed overnight at Rock View Hotel and had a most pleasant time. The Mid-Winter Band Concert on January 2 was one of the most well-received programs ever produced by the band in the last eleven years. James Burke, cornet soloist with the Goldman Band and with the Band of America, was our guest soloist, and thrilled the audience with his beautiful tone and technical proficiency. Dave Chamberlin was featured in The Typewriter and in Bye, Bye Blues with the band doing the accompaniment. A LeRoy Anderson Section was the finale of the program. Mr. Luckinbill conducted the band in this entire program. We made a two-day trip to Philadelphia on April 'I4 and 'l5. This was our first trip of an annual series of sight-seeing trips inaugurated this year. May 6-7 were the dates of the State Contests at Levittown High School. Once more, many soloists, ensembles, and our Elementary Band and High School Band drew excellent ratings from the iudging staff. Our spring concert was held on May 13 and featured a wonderful program to climax our year. Of particular note was the performance of Kiddie Ballet, a brand new composition from the pen of Ralph Hermann of Great Neck, N. Y., an arranger at the American Broad- casting Co., who came to our concert and guest-conducted his own selection. The program concluded with Sagamore Hill March, written by our own conductor, Mr. Luckinbill. This march is about to be pub- lished by Associated Music Publishers, Inc., of New York City. The band contributed its usual marching color to the Memorial Day Parade, and after performing at Jones Beach and at our own Com- mencement Exercises, began to prepare for the Summer Band Con- certs and the 1955-56 school year. The year has been a lot of fun-a lot of work-a lot of music- but a worthwhile use of our extra time, and something to be long remembered. CHORUS ln the year 1954-1955, the chorus has been ex- tremely active. Under the capable leadership of the officers-Edward Martin, president, Jim Zarifis, vice- presidentg Joanne Stevens, secretary, Marianna Har- der, treasurer, Lucille Livolsi, historian, and Roberta Hudak, Verline Sistrunk, and Margaret McDougall, librarians-several excellent programs have been pre- sented. At Christmas time, the chorus gave a program fea- turing songs such as Carol of the Little King, Oh, Holy Night, The Song of Christmas, and the Halleluiah Chorus. Later in the winter, the chorus presented that well- known Broadway play, Finian's Rainbow. Such songs as Look to the Rainbow, How Are Things in Glocca Morra?, That Old Devil Moon, and others were done as solos and by the chorus. The cast consisted of: Finian ...., . . . ...,...

The year was closed when the chorus followed their annual custom of singing at graduation.

Mr. Parr A FooTBALL This year, under the able direction of the coaching staff, headed by Mr. Parr, the varsity football squad finished a spirited season with a record of tour wins and three losses. We opened the season against our traditional hometown rivals, St. Dominic's, winning the game by a score of 41 to 18. For the second game we went to Hicksville, where we lost by a score of O to 12. Farmingdale then upset us on our own field by winning a close game 7 to 6. We bounced back in our fourth game to beat Bethpage by a score of 19 to 0. Next we downed Massapequa on their field by a score of 14 to 7. Manhasset then beat us is an exciting at-home game by a score of 24 to 18. To close the season, we traveled to Port Jervis, where we triumphed 20 to 18. 60 . JV FOOTBALL SQUAD N XNN W 'M C' . Q f v ,E ,, 2 Q c gang - nav .NL 'x ' 1 V! if -V. tam 3 'I N f -IIN' Y, .

Mr. Chefec's boys showed the top-notch style that Oyster Bay has produced in the pcist. Only the loss of a heartbreaking game to Hicksville kept the team from obtaining first place. Everyone on the team contributed to the fact that Oyster Boy averaged nearly 65 points a game. With seven varsity players returning, next year's team promises to provide more tough competi- tion for the top position. 99 as. . , H . . Q - ., Y f, .

BASEBALL With the maiority of last year's varsity baseball players returning for the 1955 season, Mr. Storm had plenty of good material with which to work. It was an active season and a long one, non-league games with teams such as St. Dominic's, Mepham, St. Mary's, Glen Cove, Manhasset, and Bayside, plus a full schedule of league games taxed the entire team. Kept especially busy was the small but durable pitching staff. Through much work and perserverence, Oyster Bay once again produced a winning team. Congratulations to both Mr. Storm and the players.

TRACK The most unsung of Oyster Bay High's four maior sports has always, in past years, been track. This year, however, student interest in track has increased amazingly. The build-up of the team, which has been taking place in the last two seasons under the expert guidance of Mr. Posch, really showed in the '55 team, strong in both track and field events. Regulars from last year's squad and new members both contributed greatly to the group's success. 67 BOWLING TEAM RADIC AND TV CLUB C, l vi 0430 GOLF TEAM ' N .f W N K xx YN fx , , J 1 - :Q onus-'-'-V f N - 19 N 'VV k 1 ' ,ff- J, Jr' Y' T: - R - - X, A -..rx 2 ,J-'-'r 'A P in ERN .

Sitting at the same table are distinguished scientists GERTRUDE HUNTER, CHARLEY LAMBERT- SON, STUART HASTINGS, and JEFF PER- RINE, and Drs. GEORGE CRONIN and DON KURTZMAN. We step closer to hear the knotty problem these six are thrashing out. When we are within hearing range, we End that the question of the hour is: will the Yankees, owned by ROSS MANAREL and managed by COKE BROCCOLO, defeat the Giants, owned by JIM BALLETTA and man- aged by SPIKE RELYEA, in the World Series? The group finally decides in favor of the Yanks, because their team includes ace players JOE BELSITO, NICK ARATA, and JOHN MINUTOLI. Seated to the left of the door is the principal of O.B.H.S,, JOE GIROLAMO, ac- companied by his secretary, TRIXIE CLYDE, and faculty members CAROL INGRAM, physical education, NANCY HOPTAR, Span- ish, VESTRA BOTTITTA, guidance, RICHARD MARTIN, commercial subiects, LUCILLE VAC- CARO, Italian, BARBARA VAN ZILE, chem- istry, ISABEL LOVETT, physics, and VICKY DANIELLO, English. Against the wall is an argumentative group composed of PHIL SCHNEIDER, who is running for the position of president of the A. F. of L., his advisor, MIKE TOTO, and opponent ESTHER BAIN, who is accompa- nied by her secretary, MARY ANNE DeLU- CIA. There's a lot of noise and confusion out front where commercial artist DOTTIE PLATT is sketching some of the better-known alumnae of the Class of 1955: SALLY WITHERS, now a famous horsewoman, JOYCE FILDSTEDT, one of America's ten best-dressed women, LOIS AMODEO, inter- preter for TENNESSEE BURLESON, Americian ambassador to France, and ANN WILKIN- SON, newspaper columnist, who is gathering material for feature articles on the girls competing for Miss America: BETTY ANN MANAREL, CAROL MURPHY, MARION WETHERBY, and ANN MARIE ZWAKHALS. DOLLY LEHECKA is adding to the confusion by trying to teach the group the theme song of the newly-formed Housewife's Union. Suddenly we spy WILMA PINKER- TON, whose book, Playing the Mongolian Mandolin in Six Easy Lessons , has just reached top position on the best-seller list. With her are the owners of the well-known publishing firm of REMSEN, WEDLEY, and REMSEN. We have ci stage celebrity with us, popular leading man JOHN DE MADALER. Accompanying him are costume designer CYNTHIA DeJESU and producer ANGELO D'ANDRE. These three are listening with interest to ALMA RINGEWALD, one of the organizers of the Housewife's Union, who is explaining to a group composed of JEANETTE AMBROZY, PAT VAN ZILE, JO- ANNE COVER, BEVERLY STEVENS, ROSE- MARY DOWNES, PEGGY MCDOUGALL, SHIRLEY CRAWFORD, and BETTY JANE WILKINSON, the best way to make double- whip lemon meringue deviI's food cake, her specialty. Also listening, with a hungry look in their eyes, are VIC ZOLFO, IAN OGILVIE, and DAVE SCHNEIDER, co- founders of Go-Gro-It-Urself Florists, Inc. Ap- proaching them are GARY GRIFFIN, JERRY LAYTON, and BOB STEINIGER, who are eager to introduce window boxes in their new luxury rockets to Mars. It is with regret that we leave this reunion of the very successful Class of I955, and we look forward to next year's gather- ing, when we shall be able to talk with more of our interesting personalities 'M , , , , Y W , W , , , i N W .
