So we study all the harder That we may worthy be, While we're working, while we're playing, Port Jeff High, we think at thee. So we ioin in every contest, Work with a right good will, While the love of Port Jeff High School Our willing hearts doth fill. ln basketball and baseball We have our hero bands Ancl the name of Port Jeff High School They send echoing o'er the lands. Although other schools are larger No school could better be, No matter where we wander, Port Jeff High, we think of thee. And the sight of royal purple To our eyes will e'er bring tears As we think of Port Jeff High School And the friends of former years. Alice McQuade, '25 1956 Earl L.

However, school citizenship on a high plane is also a requirement. To maintain that honor students do nothing but study is a fallacy, for members star on varsity teams, in dramatics, music and other phases of school life. In addition, they perform duties relating to attendance cards, elections, and the reception of visitors. all sl . .P Q' . 0 'E' M. g 'S 'V . w Y A ,gvlefi F540 Q Wx, 1 MM , fi . , li fii '- naw 2 ' S hx is ,, ei r 4 5 g ... 3 -. l Q -2' in 3-'A Tulip time on fhe campus. 1-sun...

Www,-r wr Each week the Student Council representatives meet with the high school principal to discuss means of helping the students and administration accom- plish their primary aim - making our school a bet- ter place. At these sessions such problems as proper dress for school functions, easier methods of seeing guidance counselors, behavior in assembly, and other topics are discussed and reported back to the homerooms by the various representatives. When such timely subiects originate with the student population, the social impact is great. Mr. Kiessling has done much to aid the work of the council. William Rogers was elected to head the Stu- dent Organization, and in this capacity he has been a forceful and efficient leader. Some people have the desire to appear in the spotlight of public attention. However, President Rogers works behind the scenes as well, contributing to school life through careful planning and real leadership. Left to right: fstandingl William Rogers.

A committee session presided over by a visiting delegate. The afternoon meet- ing was highlighted by a speech by Miss Dorothy Robins of the Foreign Policy Association. It was United Nations day at Port Jefferson High School on Saturday, March 19, as 150 students and faculty observers from 12 Suffolk County high schools lived through the vitalized reenactment of a model United Nations session. Student enthusiasm ran high as each school represented a different foreign nation in the especially arranged commis- sion meetings and in the final plenary session of the General Assembly. The members of the Forensic Society, sponsors of the session, had created an au- thentic atmosphere for the occasion by specially decorating the gymnasium and classrooms in true UN fashion. A large blue and white UN seal mounted behind the President's desk and the raised speaker's dais were close replicas of the scene found at UN headquarters in New York. The semi- circular seating of individual delegations found in the commission rooms and the General Assembly was also a duplicate of UN practice. Such an at- mosphere helped the youthful delegates to respond to the rigors of maintaining national policy under parliamentary circumstances during the six hour session. After Miss Melinda Tointor, president of the Forensic Society, opened the morning session by leading the assembled delegates in the Lord's Pray- er, Earl L. Vandermeulen, Supervising Principal of the Port Jefferson Schools, welcomed the many stu- dents and faculty representatives present in his traditional hearty fashion. Mr. Vandermeulen re- minded his audience that forensic activities of this nature are vital to any school's extracurricular pro- gram. He then wished the delegates success in their day's undertaking. ln the commission meetings that followed these nations were represented: Egypt- Southhampton. Australia-Patchogue, U. S. S. R.- Bay Shore, United Kingdom-South Huntington, Canada-Southhold, Yugoslavia-Bellport, New Zea- land-East Islip, China-Northport, France-Babylon, India-Smithtown, Israel-Robert L. Simpson, United States-Port Jefferson. The purpose of the commission meetings was to bring about discussion of maior problems facing the United Nations today and to have the student delegates draw up recommended courses of action for the General Assembly to pass upon. Miss Dorothy Robins of the Foreign Policy As- sociation opened the afternoon session with an ad- dress entitled The UN - Window on the World. Miss Robins outlined the organization and accom- plishments of the UN and built a stirring case for the unit as the lone organ capable of maintaining world peace and security. In the question-answer period that followed her speech, Miss Robins pointed out that the United Nations has no room for an aggres- sor nation like Red China among her members.

True to the title, the staging depicted an authentic Dutch scene - even to the windmill, prize creation of the Stage- craft Club. Color was evident in gay costumes, dan- ces and interpretative acting that was contributory to the success of the operetta as a whole. Besides acting finesse and sparkling dialogue, the musical element proved outstanding in both solos and choruses.

Our Town , directed by Mr. Anthony Prochilo, was presented on the Port Jefferson High School stage on October fourteenth and fifteenth. Although this production might be considered too difficult for students, the direction - replete with attention to detail, staging, interpretation of roles, and accurate timing - enabled the actors to live the parts and compensate for the absence of stage properties and background effects. The audience, intrigued by the ambitious nature of the play and the superb acting, acclaimed it the best ever produced on the local stage. Although few of the cast had had previous ex- perience, Our Town being unique in the respect THE CAST '60ur Town that it does not depend on conflict to hold the int- erest, the challenge of something different from mere slapstick comedy was met successfully and will un- doubtedly point the way to other worthwhile dra- matic efforts.

Robert Nagel, a new-comer to high school dra- matics, evinced definite stage presence as the nar- rator, a long maior role.

On April fourteenth the Port Jefferson baseball squad, defending champions in the A-1 loop, launched the 1955 campaign with a 3-1 non-league victory over the Sayville Golden Flashes. ln two suc- ceeding non-league tilts, Coach Scofield's crew au- spiciously trounced Smithtown and Patchogue by scores of 6-3 and 10-2, respectively. Following these three successful pre-season games, the varsity played host to Babylon, winning by a score of 4-3. Junior Frank Pepe, who proved to be the team's mound stalwart by winning six and dropping none during the season, pitched, al- lowing no hits throughout the first five innings. However, in the sixth an error, two singles, a double, and a squeeze bunt tied the score at three all and brought in Ray Burr in relief, Pepe going to right field. Victory came in the eighth inning as Art Ficht- ner singled, stole second, and scored on Pepe's safety into center field. The ensuing contest at Amityville proved dis- asterous as the Royals could manage only two hits while losing 9-0. Although the pitching was fair, the defense fell apart, committing no fewer than seven errors. Again at Bay Shore the Purple ran into stiff oppostition, losing to the former by a 2-0 margin. Burr's first-frame wildness proved costly when the Maroon picked up the game's two tallies on a walk, a double, and a wild pitch. The Royals bounced back to the .500 mark once more as Pepe pitched them to a 4-1 win over Lindenhurst on the home field on May ninth. Burr's triple and a Lindy miscue produced the initial tally in the third, and two more came across in the next' frame when Bob Guiffreda and Carmen Femia reached base via consecutive errors. After both had advanced on a wild pitch, Bernie Zimlinghous slashed a single to right field, clearing the bases. Pepe was superb, striking out eleven and allowing no free passes, while the Port defense showed gen- eral improvement. The Scofieldmen again tasted defeat, at the hands of Huntington. Dick Kranzmann, the losing hurler, and Burr allowedvonly three safeties apiece, but the Royal defense was erratic. Although out- hitting the Blue Devils 9-6, the Purple was forced to watch numerous scoring opportunities go by the boards as the opposing pitcher proved tough in the clutch. However, this loss was to be the last of the season until the playoff. Against Babylon Coach Scofield's nine started a five-game winning streak that was to bring them into the class A-1 tie with Amityville. The Royals drew first blood as they scored twice in the second inning on Bub Hart's single and a home run by Kranzmann. They picked up two more in the fifth when Pepe looped out a one-bagger and Rocco Guacci poled the first of his two homers. Singles by Hart and Pepe, plus a Panther error, allowed two more tallies in the sixth. Guacci closed out the scoring for Port Jeff with a solo four-bagger in the seventh. The final score: Port Jefferson 7-Baby- lon 3. The Jeffs were on their way. In the ensuing con- test they administered an 11-6 upset victory over Amityville, Burr going the route in a rain-interrupted game. Trailing 3-2 in the third inning, the Royals engineered a five-run rally. Giuffreda followed Guacci's lead-off double with a home run. Riding under a full head of steam, the Purple next scored a come-from-behind win over Bay Shore in the second meeting of the season. A three-run fifth inning began when Hart singled to left and went to second as Kranzmann's grounder was booted. After Blair Marelli reached first on a fielder's choice, the opposing hurler wild-pitched Hart home. Successive squeeze bunts laid down by Pepe and Burr then scored Kranzmann and Marelli. Score: Royals 3 - Bay Shore 1. Pepe threw a 1-0 shutout at Lindenhurst as he allowed only three hits while the Jeffs collected seven. ln the final scheduled league game, Coach Scofield once more called on his ace, Pepe, as Port Jeff nipped Huntington by a 2-1 score to throw the A-1 loop into a three way tie for top honors, Amity- ville and Huntington ioining them in the same bracket. In this contest the Royals engineered a very timely triple play to choke off an impending Blue Devil threat. In the last of the fifth, score 1-0 Port, Huntington loaded the bases with none out. The batter hit a soft low line drive to Anderson in his second base position. Pepe snared it on the fly and tossed to Dave Terry at first, who then threw to Burr at the keystone sack to complete the game- saving triple-killing. junior varsity baseball Coach - Mr. Estelle First row: Carmen Femia, Alvin Smith, Arthur Weber, Blair Marelli, Bernard Zimlinghaus.

Opening at Lindenhurst, Coach Bob Estelle gave the starting nod to Jack Bennett, who, along with Bernie Zimlinghaus, took care of the pitching chores throughout the season. Scoring began in the second inning when Carmen Femia singled and Marelli got on via an error. Art Weber then singledp Vic Horvath bounced out, Bennett hit a sacrifice fly, and the Royals had three runs, more than enough for their eventual 6-0 victory. Port's second victim, arch rival Patchogue, went down by a 6-2 count, Zimlinghaus going the route. In the big inning, the third, three walks, an error, and a Femia safety scored three runs. In a wild and woolly contest at Sayville, a total of ten errors marked the type of game played. The Royals, garnering seven hits while allowing only three, scored enough runs in the second, third, and fourth frames to wade through a late Golden Flash rally. During the next five games Bennett and Zim allowed only three runs on eleven safeties while Port racked up thirty-two runs on a total of thirty hits. The wins were scored against Bay Shore, Hunt- ington, Patchogue, Lindenhurst, and Sayville in that order. Playing Bay Shore for the second time, the Jayvees scored two runs in the first inning, three in the second, and two more in the fifth to win a close decision 7-5. Femia collected three hits and Dave Terry, two, including a terrific homer. Zim pitched, but Bennett relieved in the seventh frame to stave off an impending Maroon threat. The final game proved to be the most exciting one. With Bennett pitching and allowing only three safe blows, the score was tied going into the Port Jeff half of the seventh. Ronald Tulloch, a pinch- hitter for Richie Schwender, walked, bringing Ben- nett to the plate. He slashed a low liner to center field, and when the ball got past the Blue Devil outfielder Tulloch scored uncontested. Congratulations to Coach Estelle and the Jay- vees for their great season. BATTING AVERAGES freshman baseball Coach - MV-l-Ofd The 1955 freshman baseball team was under the guidance of a new mentor this year as Mr. Lord took over the reins. Although unable to repro- duce Coach Andrews' one-season stand of the pre- vious year when the frosh were undefeated, he did a spendid iob to bring the squad home with a six win-two loss record. Opening the season against West Islip, the Jeffs got off to a fine start as they beat the oppos- ing squad by a score of six to four. The following game proved to be a squeaker as John Blasko and Bob Hoose hurled the Royals to a five-six victory. The winning runs came in the final frame as McDon- nell walked, Reuter and Hoose hit safely, and Mike Guacci lofted a sacrifice fly. After a 3-0 loss to West Babylon, the frosh traveled to Bay Shore where they were set back for the second straight time, 9-8. Trailing 9-0 since early in the game, the Jeffs put together four hits, three walks, and two maroon errors for eight runs, almost salvaging the game. Two of the remaining four games were played against Brentwood and proved to be one-sided con- tests as the Royals won 14-l and 16-4. In their sec- ond contest with West Islip, Nick Pisco went all the way as the yearlings capped 8-2. Charlie Seibert picked up two walks and a hit to lead the attack. Pisco and Hoose combined to gain revenge against West Babylon in the season's final game. Ray Schmalz, who hit safely twice, and Seibert, who was on base four straight times, were powers on offense. To summarize, congratulations to both Coach Lord and his fine group of up-and-coming ball players. PORT JEFFERSON OPPONENTS FROSH 6 lallP g 5 tau et BASEBALL 0 W.

QE, - - L05 N. 4-it I C x iw, g w k After opening the track season with a comparatively easy victory over Huntington and Amityville, Coach Beniamin's defending county champions continued to dominate the Class A track picture as they ran over Sayville i291 and Patchogue C81 while amassing 91 points. Chalking up wins for the Purple were: Archie LeMone in the 100, Charles Robbins in the 220, Charles Caraftis in the 880, Bernie Haynes in the 440, Mel Solomon in the mile, and the relay crew of Robbins, Bill Rogers, Tom McNamara, and LeMone in the 880. Field events triumphs went to Doug Boehm, double victor in pole vault and high lump, Phil Siino, shot put, and Bill Cullin, discus. The Suffolk Relays saw Port Jefferson the winner in the one mile relays when Jack Becker, Dennis Kessler, Don Carlson, and Bernie Haynes defeated Amityville in 3.36. The Jeffs also scored impressively in the 880 yard event when speedsters Robbins, Rogers, LeMone, and Palaganas negotiated the distance in 1:39.1. Coach Beniamin's Purple Wave received little competition from Northport C271 and Lindenhurst C241 while running up a count of 78 points, the Jeffs winning ,eight of twelve events. Doug Boehm and Don Carlson each vaulted eleven feet, the first time a team in this county has had two eleven foot vaulters in the same meet. Joe Pillus nipped teammate Mel Solomon in the 880 for the first time, while Caraftis moved up to win the mile. Rogers lumped 19 feet 7 3X4 inches as Port won eight of twelve first place awards. Out scoring Bay Shore 71 to 41, the cinder and field squad swept four places in the 440 and 880, Haynes taking the former in 52.7 and Caraftis the latter in 2:09. Becker, Kessler and McClomb completed the sweep in the quarter mile, while Pearson Pillus, and Petty did the some in the half. Mel Solomon took the mile in 4:53 with teammates George Davis and Bob Helmstead. Doug Boehm soared over the pole vault bar at 11 feet - 6 7X8 inches, the highest iaunt ever made by a Port Jefferson athlete, to feature an 83-21 romp over Babylon on the Royals' new track. Coach Beniamin's team was red hot despite the cold breezes blowing in from the harbor. LeMone captured the 100 in 10.4, Robbins, the 220 in 24.5, while Haynes won the 440 in 52.8. Joe Pillus was first in the 880 and Mel Solo- mon led in the mile. Phil Siino, Bill Cullen, and Rogers were number one in their field specialties. The Port Jefferson speedsters were favorites to down Riverhead, also undefeated, but the 68-36 margin was more than anyone anticipated. The Purple took seven firsts to five for the County Seaters, building a wide margin on seconds and thirds. LeMone was a double winner in the sprints, and Cullin and Siino matched points with River- head's Nelson in the shot. Meanwhile the Purple made the pole vault 8-1 as Boehm and Carlson took top honors. However, the real crusher came as Robbins and Palaganas ioinecl Champ LeMone in the century. Two thrilling running duels climaxed the afternoon, the first as Solomon took the Blue Wave's Doroska by four yards in the mile, turning in a time of 4:44. Warner, winner of the 440 last season, almost nipped Haynes as he lunged at the tape, but the Port ace was first in 52 seconds. At Amityville the track team defended its county title by garnering 34 points, its nearest rival, Riverhead, earning 23. Although Coach Beniamin's undefeated squad won only one individual title, Boehm in the pole vault and a tie with Amityville in the 880 relay, it showed team strength to score in ten of twelve events. Summary, Pole vault - Boehm first, Carlson second, Mile - Solomon second, Broad jump - Rogers second, Shot put - Sino second, distance 47 feet 7V2 inches, Cullin third, 440 - Haynes second, Becker third. Fourths were taken by LeMone in the 100 and by Robbins in the 220. George Davis and Caraftis were also fourth in the mile and 880, respectively. The relay team, tied for first, was: Robbins, Tom McNamara, Rogers, and LeMone.

Playing in the Suffolk County A-1 league, Coach Bob Estelle's Royals posted four wins as against three losses as they top- ped Sayville, Huntington, Babylafi and Patchogue while losing to Lindenhurst, Bay Shore and Amityville. Coach Estelle and assistants Mr. Berndt and Mr. Doski were high in their praise of the determination shown by the 1955 team, sparked by the leader- ship of Co-captains Bub Hart and Ray St. Denis . Hart proved a standout performer all season as he passed, ran, punted and called plays in super- lative fashion in addition to playing an excellent game as defensive safetyman. He led a fleet of good backs, such as Siino, Sayers, Schwender, Raschke and Jackson. Joining St. Denis in sparking Port Jeffs' ag- gressive line was Bob Stawicki who opened huge holes from his tackle spot while proving a demon as defensive end. St. Denis featured as a defensive linebacker while showing well as a running guard. Other standouts among the men up front were Marelli, Bottier, Bubnis, Kloiber, Murphy, Senesi, Snyder, Hall, Terry, Nemeth and Bammann. The Royals gathered numerous individual hon- ors at the season's end. Bob Stawicki was selected as All-Suffolk tackle while Hart gained honors as an All-Suffolk back. Ray St. Denis earned a spot on the All-County second eleven while Bob Bammann achieved an honorable mention on the dream team. Top honor went to Bub Hart who, as a result of the voting of his coaches ,was awarded the Port Jefferson High School Gridiron Club Trophy for 1955 as the player who contributed the most to Port Jefferson High School football throughout his high scool career. Seniors who played their final game for the Purple and White in the Thanksgiving Day victory over Patchogue are Bottier, St. Denis, Kloiber, Stawicki, Bobinski, Bammann, O'Reilly, Droscoski, Montalbano, LeMone and Hofer. Port Jefferson 32 Sayville O - The Royals in- augurated their new football field in winning style as they humbled Sayville by a 32-0 score. Phil Siino opened the scoring with a one yard plunge. St. Denis tallied next on a 35 yard pass interception return. Hart place kicked both points after touch- down. Siino scored again on a line plunge and Bammann gathered in Pepe's pass for a touchdown. Schwender tallied the final TD on a 40 yard pass from Hart. Hart and Pepe combined to complete 15 of 23 passes to receivers Terry, Hall, Nemeth, Bammann, Schwender and Hansen while the Royals defensive line, paced by Stawicki, Kloiber, Bubnis, and Bottier, throttled the losers. Port Jefferson 19 Huntington 7 - Playing in the rain on the loser's field, the Royals posted the first victory over Huntington by the local school since 1942. The Jeffs were behind in the first minute as Huntingtons' Forte returned a punt for a TD and added the point. The Royals, sparked by the pile driving of Phil Siino, unleashed two tremendous drives to go ahead with the solid fullback plunging over for both scores while Sayers added the extra point. Carl Kloiber blocked a Blue Devil punt and fell on it in the end zone for the final tally. The Royals used Hart's punting and the defensive tack- ling of Stawicki, Bottier, St. Denis, Schwender, Hart, Jackson, Kloiber, Bubnis, Snyder, Murphy and Han- sen to contain Huntington thereafter. Lindenhurst 7 Port Jefferson 0 M Playing in a field dotted with deep puddles, the Royals could not get their wide open attack under way and suc- cumbed 7-0. The only offensive threat of the Purple varsity football YV' 5 it Head Coach i ' Mr. Estelle Assistants :gg .54 it. Mr. Doski . Mr. Berndt and White came when Richie Schwender sped 72 yards only to have a clipping penalty nullify the tally. A fumble deep in Port territory was recovered by Lindy and converted for the game's only tally late in the fourth quarter. Bay Shore T9 Port Jeff O - The stout defensive play of the Maroon kept the Royals from the final line as they gained plenty of yardage within the 20 yard stripes but couldn't tally. Meanwhile, a blocked punt, and two TD passes dented the Royals for scores. Port Jeff T3 Babylon 6 - Ray St. Denis' 45 yard run with a blocked punt sparked the Purple and White victory. The game was played in wretched conditions of rain and mud. John Jackson capped a Royal drive by scoring a Port Jeff TD while Frank Sayers added the extra point. A long pass for a score brought Babylon close in the third quarter. Faced with a tough break when Richie Schwender's 55 yard run was nullified by a penalty, the winners stifled a Babylon passing threat when Hugh McElroy intercepted to give Port possession of the ball for the remainder of the game. Amityville 44 Port Jeff 7 - Amityville's County Champions riddled the Port Jefferson pass defense to smother the Royals. Tony Pira's 25 yard pass interception return for a touchdown, followed by Sayers' extra point, provided the only Port scoring. Thanksgiving Day Classic T955 - Port Jefferson 25 Patchogue 6. On a perfect football day before 2,500 spectators on Port Jefferson's picturesque field, the Royals smashed out a convincing victory to give them possession of the Thanksgiving Day Classic trophy for at least a year. Behind excellent blocking, Frank Sayers sped 80 yards with the opening kickoff to spark the vic- tory. Moments later, the same player tallied the extra point. Following a pass interception by Ray St. Denis, Bub Hart tore around the end for a 20 yard score on some tremendous open field running. Following a Patchogue score, Richie Schwender gathered in Hart's pass and crashed over for a Royal touchdown. In the third quarter, Frank Sayers went 'l5 yards for the final tally behind the block- ing of Stawicki, Nemeth and company. In everyone's mind, the season couldn't have ended better as Sayers accepted the trophy as the games most valuable player.

Jayvgg fggtball Coach - Mr. ooska The Port Jefferson Junior Varsity football squad battled to a successful season of three wins, two losses, and one tie under the fine coaching of Coach Joe Doski. The opening game with West Babylon resulted in a scoreless tie as each team lacked the final T.D. punch after having moved deep into the opposing squad's ter- ritory. At Huntington with Butch Magurk quarterbacking, the offensive team of William Burrows and Eric Johnson at ends, John Senesi and Dick Giuffreda at tackle positions, and Bill Newton and George Kaminski at guards, piled up nineteen points in the first half. Hector St. Denis scored the first T.D. on an off-tackle smash, while Steve Mason scored twice on fine end runs. Good defensive work by John McNamara, Bob Bondi, and Gildersleeve held the Blue Devils to one touchdown. St. Denis' scoot off left end produced the final T.D. and score of 25-6. Traveling to Bay Shore, the Jayvees fought in vain as they lost to the Maroon by a lone point after touchdown, coming after the opening kick-off in a score. St. Denis again carried the pigskin for six points, but the Royals' attempt for the P.A.T. failed. Score: 7-6. Ralph Hulse, Tony Pira, and St. Denis starred on a rain-soaked, muddy gridiron as Port Jeff defeated Babylon 21-6. Fine defense shown by the entire squad proved to be the deciding factor in the victory. At Amityville, two T.D.'s, one by Mason and one by Magurk, plus accurate con- versions by Tony Pira, had counter-balanced the Crimson Tide's 14 points at the half-time mark. ln the last quarter Bondi caused an Amity player to fumble and Pete Ahrens recovered and romped home for a touchdown. Score: Port 21 - Amityville 14. With snow, rain, and mud slowing up their offense, the Jayvees outfought a heavier Lindenhurst team until the final minutes of the last game. Spectacular passing by Magurk and receiving by Burrows and Mason showed the adaptability of the squad, but Lindy edged Port by 20-19. Coaches - Mr. Roessner . Mr. Andrews The Royal yearIings, coached by Messrs. Andrews and Roessner, emerged from the '55 football campaign with a 2-3-1 record. Although small in number, the team exhibited excellent spirit and determination under the leadership of Co-captains George Krause and Eugene Jackson. The season opened with a 14-13 loss to the Bay Shore freshmen. Port Jefferson led at half-time 13-0 on touchdowns by Jackson and Jansson. However, the Maroon's single-wing attack came alive in the second half to score two T.D.'s and the necessary extra points to win in a thrilling game. Following a 25-7 loss to Lindenhurst and a forfeit victory over Amityville ,the frosh gained the distinction of breaking Northport's string of fifteen successive wins by battling the Indians to a 0-0 tie. Stellar defensive work by Allan Perin, Tom Reth, Dick Schmus, John Reiff, and Allan Balzarano slowed Northport's ground game to a crawl. The high point of the season came on a rain-soaked field early in November when the Purple and White mauled Patchogue 6-0 in a mud-smeared contest. Once again an excellent defense kept the Indians in their own territory all through the game. Hard running by Leopin, Schmus, and Balzarano set up Jackson's scoring plunge. The freshmen ended the season with o 19-7 defeat at the hands of a rugged Sayville eleven, the Purple's only score of the game coming late in the second half on a Schmus to McGrath pass.

The winning score for the Purple harriers was 26 points. Riverhead's ace, Bob Doroska, defeated Charles Caraftis by seven yards for first honorg Robbins and Helmstead tied for fourth, and Becker, Scholl, Pillus and George Davis placed seventh, eigth, ninth, and twelfth re- spectively. Coach Beniamin's hill and dalers ran their victory skein to twenty-one, winning by a 24 point victory over Huntington 1611, Babylon 1631 and South Huntington 1961, Caraftis handing Ed Jackson of Babylon his first defeat of the season. The south side runner led three-fourths of the distance but faded to finish ten yards behind the winner. Port showed depth with Helmstead 141,, Pillus 151, Davis 161, Scholl 181 and Becker 191. The run was held over Huntington's rugged course. Winning easily against Sayville 1581 and Patchogue 1731, Port Jefferson 1191 placed five harriers among the first six to cross the finish line in a triangular meet at the picturesque Belle Terre course. The victory enabled the Royals to complete another undefeated season in meet competition and ran the victors' triumphs to twenty-two straight. Although the Purple runners were favored to take county honors, they experi- enced their first loss in four years, bowing to Riverhead's 44 and losing with a 48 score. For the Jeffs the results were: Jack Becker 7, Bob Helmstead 8, Charles Caraftis 11, Joseph Pillus 12, Don Scholl 13, and Charles Robbins 15. Under Coach Beniamin's direction the x-country teams have established an envi- able record over the years, having taken the Suffolk County title eleven times and the New York State championship two years straight. The Purple Junior Varsity served notice that they will make Port Jefferson a strong contender for the trophy next season when they outclassed the other county teams to sweep to first spot at the annual championship run with low score of 20 points. Their nearest competitor, Riverhead, was second with 49, followed by six other schools. Richard Ligon of the Blue Wave was first in 12:06, but seven Jeff runners, led by Tony Mastauskas, followed: Leverett Brown, Charles Petty, Ted Dorsett, James Newsom, Melvin Robinson ,and Tom Woodburn. The Long Island meet at Befthpage State Park brought new recognition to the county champions. They ran their way to the Section Eight crown with 23 points to trim Sewanhaka, which was far behind with 76, and eight other teams. The result was highly pleasing to Coach Benjamin, for five of his lads were among the first eight to cross the finish line. ln addition, five others were among the second platoon of eight to negotiate the course. Outstanding for the victors were: Tony Mastauskas 111 ,Leverett Brown 131, Ted Dorsett 151, Melvin Robinson 161, James Newsom 181 and George McClomb,who stamped himself as one of the best youthful track prospects in the metropolitan area when he won his 880 yard heat at the 102nd Engineers' Armory.

Coach Sco- field makes it official. CFOSS countr 13 as JC Coach Estelle's Varsity quintet finished the 1955-56 season with a record of 11 wins and 5 losses, finishing in third place in Section 1-A. Spirited, well-coached, and aggressive on both offense and defense, the team's main difficulty was competing with squads that had the added asset of height. Although Ev Hart was the only Varsity regular remaining from last year, the reserves of 1954-55 developed rapidly, and, aided materially by Bammann, a newcomer, made each game well-played and hard-fought. Coach - Mr. Estelle PORT JEFFERSON 75 SMITHTOWN 73 Although the Jeffs led throughout their opener with Smithtown, the visitors 'last minute tie at 73-73 was broken by the one-hander by Carmen Femia 1185. Guadanino, a power on rebounding, connected for 20 points, and Everett Hart 1155 directed the fast-breaking attack from his back-court position. PORT JEFFERSON 70 NORTHPORT 64 Coach Estelle's varsity avenged the 71-43 claw- ing by the Tigers in 1954 despite the disparity in height. With Femia finding the range for 38 points and all players of the squad on for the night, the reserves finished the last quarter. SAYVILLE 60 PORT JEFFERSON 58 The Jeffs rallied from a half-time 12-point def- icit to tie the count at 56-56 as the regulation game time ran out. Leading the rally were: Bammann 1115 and Hart 1155, who repeatedly stole the ball to score in the last quarter. Sayers contributed a 2 pointer for a 58-56 advantage, but Martyn of Say- ville forced the sudden death play when he equalized with the tying basket. Rebounding by Guadanino in the fourth period was outstanding. PORT JEFFERSON 60 PATCHOGUE 42 Resorting to a man for man defense, the Jeffs, aided by fine ball handling by Hart 175, Bammann 195 and Sayers, overcame the height advantage of the Raiders and won handily. The well-balanced Purple quintet fed off to Femia in the pivot as the lanky forward connected for 29 markers. Guada- nina 175 and Bammann dominated the rebounding. HUNTINGTON 75 PORT JEFFERSON 46 The county champions and their Big Bob Badeer were too much for the Jeffs, as he led all scorers with 29 points and used his 6'4 height to dominate the rebounds as a springboard for their attack. However, the Royals led 33-27 at the half on the sharpshooting of Hart 1105 and Guadanino 1115. AMITYVILLE 97 PORT JEFFERSON 65 Amityville, with but one loss to date, outclassed Coach Estelle's determined team. Terry 185, Davis 185 and Marelli 145 stamped themselves as future court prospects. Hart and Bammann were high with 15 and 13, respectively. PORT JEFFERSON 55 BAY SHORE 54 George Davis 175 and Dave Terry 1105 worked well with Sal Guadanino 1105 and Femia 1135 to give Port the edge in the vital rebounding depart- ment. Engineering the attack with his usual effective- ness was Bub Hart 1115, who passed off for many more. PORT JEFFERSON 72 BABYLON 45 Playing their best game of the year, the Jeffs rolled over Babylon with every man on the squad in action. Following the intermission, Hart directed the diversified attack as he fed the ball to Femia 1185, Guadanino 1145, Bamman 1165 and Terry 195 to put the Purple in front 59-35 at the end of the third quarter. George Davis turned in the defensive job of the evening. PORT JEFFERSON 71 LINDENHURST 51 The Jeffs copped their third successive league win, although they got of to a poor start, trailing at the end of the first period 14-12. Terry, however, hit with five successive shots, and Femia 1125 and Davis 1135 began to score consistently. Hart contri- buted 13 points and five rebounds, besides passing off for 10 baskets. HUNTINGTON 57 PORT JEFFERSON 44 The undefeated Blue Devils encountered unex- pected resistance from the Royals, who played the first quarter minus star rebounder Guadanino. De- spite Huntington's early lead, Port Jefferson came within six points in the fourth quarter, even with two baskets disallowed - but Huntington met the challenge. Femia and Guadanino were high with 17 and 10, respectively. PORT JEFFERSON 66 BAY SHORE 64 The Jeffs downed Bay Shore for their second win over the Maroon during the current campaign. In fact, the victory was the first Purple triumph on the Ioser's court in twenty years. The final buzzer found the score tied at 60-60, and at the end of the over-time period the count was 64-64. Coach Estelle's possession strategy worked, as Hart 1145 drove in for the sudden death basket after his team had kept the ball for almost two minutes, Bammann andDavis connected for 16 and 15 points, respectively. varsity basketball if- Firsf row: Coach Esfelle, Carmen Femia, Sal Guadanino, David Terry, Blair Marelli, Roberf Bammann.

The Royals were bolstered by the tremendous playing of sophomore sensa- tion Tony Mastauskas, who averaged 23 points per game in his first eight contests. After winning two of three non-league games, the Jeffs traveled to Huntington where they walloped last year's champs by a score of 77-68. Mastauskas rustled the nets for a season's high of 42 points. Fine court work by Blair Marelli and George Davis played an important role in the victory. Following successive defeats at the hands of Amityville and Bay Shore, the Royals bounced back with a 45-37 triumph over Babylon. Ed Kappler, John Whelan, and Dave Magurk combined excellent ball handling and shooting to outclass the opposing five. At Lindenhurst a last quarter rally proved to be insufficient as Port Jefferson was edged 42-41. Fine court work and rebounding by Ralph Hulse and John McNamara kept Port with striking distance of the Green and White. Playing the Huntington Blue Devils for the second time, the Jayvees were in top form as they won 59--49. Mastauskas and Whelan, who scored 25 and 13 points, respectively, rebounded superbly throughout the entire game. George Dorsett K9 pointsl, Artie Weber 163, and John McNamara C65 rounded out the night's scoring. freshman basketball Coach - Mf' Scofiad Coach Scofield's Freshman basketball squad enioyed a very successful campaign, winning five while dropping only two contests. Tom McGrath, young Frosh flash, proved to be the main scoring threat as he rustled the cords for an average of 16 points per game and also gave a fine court performance. Playing against Patchogue, McGrath poured in twenty-two markers to lead the Royals to a 42-40 victory. Superb ball handling by Dave Leopin, who scored 13 points, and Boby Jansson proved vital to the outcome of the game. In a thrill-a-minute affair at Sayville, the Frosh were at their best as they won 46-45. Tom McGrath and Tom Moffett each scored 14 while Ledpin hit for 9.

At approximately 7:30 on cl cold, windy .lan- uary morning, the first honor squad iourneyed to Bay Shore for the annual volleyball playday. ln the first game Port encountered a strong opponent in Smithtown. An exciting and well-played contest resulted in a victory for Port Jefferson by the close margin of 15-13. The girls then faced Huntington, only to be defeated 31-16. Those attending playday were Alice Detmer, Carole Dickoff, Eleanor Krause, Jean Seaman, Anne Elser, Betty Hausner, Marla Lee, Marilyn Susa, and Barbara Dorsett. For her out- standing playing ability, Alice Detmer, team cap- tain, was awarded a much deserved certificate of merit. Because of few team practices and conflicting schedules, Port's teams were unable to have a win- ning season. Though they played hard and with teamwork, only once were the girls victorious. For example, with one team practice behind them, four Port Jefferson squads met their first competitors on December 1. The results were Port losses because of Babylon's display of excellent form throughout the games. Subsequent games with Smithtown, Bay Shore, and Islip ended similarly.

Miss Hedges Another undefeated season brought the Port girls a well-deserved County Championship banner for softball. As always, the team displayed outstanding ability and a real desire to win. The initial game was played on BelIport's home field, where Port Jeff romped to an easy victory. Ably led by pitcher Martha Riccardi, the team marked the start of a three-game winning streak with a score of 12-2. Our second encounter brought South Huntington to Port Jefferson. Martha again hurled amazingly well ,allowing only one run on three hits. Diane Burr starred with three safe blows to her credit, while Eleanor Krause and Peggy Piercey each tagged two apiece. A final score of 13-1 proved Port's team superior. Islip was the scene of our third and final game of the season. Backed by a pre- cision-playing team, Riccardi allowed only one hit, walking four and striking out four. The final score of 17-3 gave a victorious Port team high hopes for the ensuing County Championship battle. A tense squad awaited the outcome of the annual softball sportsday. The first contest with lslip was a thriller, running 0-0 until the last inning. Diane Burr brought home the wining fond onlyl run of the game, enabling Port to continue on in the tournament. The tangle with Bay Shore, however, provided the high light of the day. With one inning to go, our opponents lead by a score of 2-0. Vonny Hylton, Peggy Piercey, and Eleanor Krause sparked a last-minute rally and Port came from behind to win 3-2. The deciding game of the morning ended in a 3-0 victory for Port Jefferson. An exultant girls' team received another championship banner to add to a growing collection of athletic awards. For their outstanding playing ability, Martha Riccardi and Yvonne Hylton were awarded certificates of merit. second honor Winning two out of three games, the second honor team proved its worth on the softball diamond. Effective fielding and timely hitting characterized Port's strategy throughout the season. The girls led off with an overwhelming victory against Bellport. Barbara Kito, pitcher, was in fine form and registered six strikeouts to her credit. A final score of 10-1 ended the contest in Port's favor. Our second game with South Huntington was a thriller and terminated in a 17-17 tie. Only timely hits and several fine fielding plays kept Huntington's team stalemated. Port's first defeat came in the contest with Islip High, the final score being 8-3. Through the first honor team was unable to boast an undefeated record, the girls played hard and showed excellent team spirit. The popularity of this fall sport was clearly evidenced by an amaz- ing turnout of 122 girls for after-school practice sessions. The opening game with Central Islip ended in a scoreless tie and afforded many thrilling moments. Port, however, realized that the girls would have to correct costly playing errors in order to perform well in ensuing contest with Islip. This encounter brought with it P. J.'s first defeat of the season, Islip winning by a score of 3-'I. Patty Krause ac- counted for our only goal. Led by Captain Denny Were, the second team chalked up an impressive record of 2 wins, I loss, and 'l tie. The entire squad worked hard and played capable hockey throuhgout the season. A 2-I victory over Central Islip started the sea- son favorably. Both Denny and Yvette Augustine played extremely well and accounted for the two goals. In the game with Islip, the second honor squad played hard and fast, again winning by a score of 2-'I, goals having been scored by Leilani Benzing and Florence Hylton. Babylon, however, brought about the girls' first defeat, winning by only one goal. The final game of the season with Smithtown High School proved to be the most exciting. The ball was passed consistently from one team to the other in a desperate struggle to score goals. A final score of I-'I left the game still undecided. Florence Hylton scored Port's goal. Coaches - Mrs. Gracey . Miss Hedges first honor The contest with Babylon also ended in victory for the opposing team. Though Port seemed to be in complete control of the ball, Babylon managed to drive in the winning and only goal. The Port girls finally took a hard won triumph over Smithtown. This game was a touch and go contest until Yvette Augustine drove the ball in for a last minute goal to the great ioy of her teammates. In the annual field hockey Sportsday, Port .lef- ferson played four games. All ended in scoreless ties. Betty Hausner, captain, received honorable men- tion for outstanding play throughout the day.

To date, the girls' basketball teams have played three hard-fought games and have showed improve- ment in every contest. Of great importance is the annual playday coming up on March third. Port has high hopes of winning another championship banner. Twenty girls iourneyed to Islip for their first game of the season. After the election of Eleanor Krause as team captain, the first honor squad was off to a fast start. From the beginning, however, Islip maintained a strong lead and defeated Port Jeff by a score of 38-22. Yvette Augustine, Dottie Harris, Patti Krause and Marla Lee accounted for the team's twenty-two points, while Pauline Wood- ard, Anne Elser, Eleanor Krause, Helen Baker, and Pat Dunbar displayed effective guarding. Shortly afterward, the second honor team com- menced play. This contest followed the same pattern as the varsity tilt and ended in a crushing defeat for Port. Beryl Innis and Barbara Kito scored the only baskets. Babylon was our guest for the second court contest. ln an extremely exciting battle, both Baby- lon and P. J. scored alternate baskets. As a result, Dottie Harris' three successful foul shots tied the score at 33-33 as the buzzer sounded. An overtime period of two minutes caused a desperate struggle for the ball, but in a last minute play Babylon man- aged to score the winning basket. Dottie Harris, girls' basketball Coaches - Mrs. Gracey . Miss Hedges Marla Lee, and Patti Krause tallied for Port Jeffer- son with 17-10-6 points respectively. Pat Dunbar, Antoinette Lessie, Anne Elser, and Pauline Woodard did well as guards. The third encounter resulted in a decisive vic- tory over Bellport. Gaining an early lead, Port romped to a 39-8 win. Dottie Harris, Marla Lee, and Patti Krause again sparked the team with 12 points each. The guarding was obviously faultless, as Bell- port scored only four baskets . The second honor squad played a hard-won contest and just edged Bellport 14-13. The entire game was o constant struggle for control of the ball but ended in favor of the Port girls. Barbara Kito, Florence Hylton, and Beryl lnnis accounted for Port Jefferson's baskets.
