I ff X! lax Page 4 Ol' ff Ou alle One Many of us remember our sophomore English classes with pleasure and nostalgia, and this is all due to the ef- forts of one man.

A Jil ff W . .. Well, it's been a long trip and it's been a good one. When we entered P. H. S. as fresh- men in September, 1952 and found ourselves bein tri ped over by the bi seniors, we had no idea that we ourselves would so soon be trip- ping over those little kids. At our first gathering in the fall of 1952, we elected as officers Bill Sutton, president, Jer- ry Small, vice-president, Edith Kaltner, secre- tary, and Bill Belmont, treasurer. Near the end of this eventful year we gave our successful dance, May Day Sway. When our sophomore year arrived, we moved our meetings from the cafeteria to the auditor- ium, and elected Bob Dakin, president, Bill Sut- ton, vice-president, Edith Kaltner, secretary, and Bill Belmont, treasurer. That we had a good year was shown in the successes of our fall dance, Evening in Paris, and our contribution to the play contest, Sugar and Spice. Our junior year arrived, and we were nearly on the top of the heap. Our officers for the year were erry Meisner, president, Bob Berger, vice- presi ent, Carolyn Caruso, secretary, and Joe Corn, treasurer. We found ourselves taking a much greater part in school activities and func- tions. We sent many people to the Katonah Conference and the College Board exams, staged our class' pla , High Window, for which Sue Dean won the cup as best actress, and put on the best junior prom ever, the Stardust Sere- n:-ide. Finally, after a long, lon time, we entered the cafeteria homeroom and ie senior class. To guide us down the last mile we chose Curt Platte, president, jerry Meisner, vice-president, Sara Solz, secretary, and Joe Corn, treasurer. For one year we ran the school Calmostl Our Halloween House was a howling success, run ably by Bill Russell and Sandy Hise. Then we fell into the whirl of College Boards, college ap- plications and the breathless wait for acceptances, commencement plans, and all the problems that arise in the attempt to leave the hallowed halls at last. And now it's all over but the shouting, and we find ourselves looking back a little sad- ly on our four long years of fun, friends, and frantic activity, and we know that even with all our complaints and scrapes we have had a good time, one that we will long remember.

The Student Government had a very active year with regard to legislation affecting the entire stu- dent body. Realizing that the present constitution, under which the organization operated, was badly in need of revision, the council began the task of going through it and making necessary changes. Among these were new registration and election laws, making the methods more like those used in our national government, and -laws which added several offenses to the category of major offenses, for which summonses may be given. Another major function of the group is the organization of the annual Students' Day. To help the financial status of the Student Government, plans were made for a new assessment tax. This year the council was headed by Kim Keeley, president, Bob Berger, vice- president, Carolyn Caruso, secretary, and Ioe Corn, treasurer. Miss l-laack was the faculty advisor.

At slippery Parkway Field, two Panther fumbles decided the 12-0 season's opener in favor of Sleepy I-lollow. A fourth period Horace Greeley touchdown sank the Green and White, 18-14. Scoring by Manna, Schmidel, and Berger smothered Hastings, 19-0, and six pointers by Bergman, Manna, and Russell vanquished Edison Tech, 19-13. ...1 Pleasantville succumbed, 12-O, to I-Iarrison's single wing offense. Although the Panthers tallied the game's only point after touchown, they were 36-7 victims of Ray. In the finale, the Greenbacks whipped Eastchester, 7-O. Bob Berger and Dick Curtis received all-S.W.I.A.C awards. Led by Nancy Berger, captain, the Vars- sity Cheerleading. Squad worked long and hard to perfect their routines, and did an excellent job. Although there was quite a decline in general school spirit during most of the year, the end of basketball season saw considerable improvement. The girls had decorative new uniforms which were made by Mrs. Oliva. The other mem- bers of the squad, which was sponsored by Mrs. Hogue, were Margaret Osmer, Edith Kaltner, Beth Thompson, Pat Oliva, Sally Caiani, Ann Davey, and Ginny Smith.

'fwssszif f n ' The Varsity Baseball team, coached by Mr. Beattie, is hoping this year to keep its reputation as the most successful varsity team at P. H. S., which it has been for several years. Last spring they again took first place in the S. W. I. A. C. league competition and produced several all-starsg this year they look forward to similar achievements. They can do it with the full support of our stu- dent body. This year the track team com- pleted its first full cycle of varsity competition, with many of the ath- letes rounding out four years of track. Under the coachin of Mr. Wittern, with Mr. Wright ieading the field men, the team set out to equal or better last year's record of second place in the S. W. I. A. C. In ad- dition to the regular season of six dual or triangular meets the thin- clads entered several open meets, in which they com eted against all of Section One. The graduating class leaves behind a fervent wish that the long-sought cinder track may yet ma- terialize. April 19 -.- .............. Hastings April 26 ........

MERCURY Golf, a relatively new sport at P, H. S., is under the coaching of Mr. Anthony Sabella. The boys compete against all other schools in the S. W. I. A. C. League, playing their home matches at Nannahagan Golf Course. Last year Pleasantville boasted a 7-2 record, coming in second to Har- rison in the S. W. I. A. C. FUTURE PRESIDENTS ? . UP AND COMING . The Freshman Basketball squad, in spite of its hard work and high spirits, had only a fair season. They had one main triumph, which was their victory over C-reenburgh, considered one of the best teams in the county. The team was coached by Mr. Fagella. This peppy group of freshman and Sophomore girls, led by Paula Gulden, captain, provided the incentive for cheering at the I. V. football and basketball games this year. The girls who did such a good job of supporting the Baby Panthers were May Lanning, Kathleen Foley, Charlotte Manna, Jeanette Mikkelson, and Barbara Spaulding. SIX CHEERS FOR OUR JUNIOR GRIDMEN . Last fall thedl. V. Football team complete a fair season with a record of two wins, three losses, and one tie. VVith Lohn Driscoll as cap- tain, t e team was guided by Mr. Beattie, backfield coach, and lVlr. Sabella, line coach. -Although the team's record isn't spectacular, the boys worked hard and had keen competition. The high- light of the season was Bert Schriber's ninety-five yard run for a touchdown on the kickoff against Rye. 3. This year the I. V. Basket- ball squad was coached by Mr. Kurachek. The boys did not elect a permanent captaing in- stead, Mr. Kurachek appointed temporary ones before each game, This policy gave a num- ber of the boys on the squad a chance to act as captain. After a slow start they improved con- siderably toward the end of the season. PANTHERLETTES . The athletic program for girls at P. H. S. con- sists of two parts, intramurals and honor teams. Many girls participate in the sports offered: hockey basketball, volleyball, and baseball by joining in- tramural teams which compete among themselves for the school championship. From these teams are chosen the better players who make up the honor teams, which play other schools. Letters and trophies are awarded according to a system of points earned by participating in intramurals, honor teams, and gym classes. 7 The entire program is under the direction of the girls' physical education teacher, Miss Sullivan, who is aided by Leaders' Club members.
