THE PORT LIGHT 1950 THEME: OUR HERITAGE—THE AMERICAN INDIAN Published Annually by the Students of Port Washington High School Port Washington, N. Y. wmw. ' . C Zf � yW r Ik Wii . i V'fV' sMf ‘ •v U A uMd OmwuarvcA Mr. Macintosh... dedication We, the class of 1950, proudly dedicate our yearbook to Mr. James Macintosh. We wish to do this because we want him to know how fully we appreciate how much he has done for our class. He has sincerely and generously devoted most of his time and energy to make evyy project our class ever attempted a success. He has shown a vital interest in our class. By setting us an example of enthusiasm and sheer hard work, he has inspired us to see things through in the thorough and finished style that marks all his work. Without his help it is doubtful that we could have accomplished what we have. As our loyal and efficient class advisor during our Junior and Senior years, Mr. Mac has been a constant aid and source of inspiration. He was the main initiative behind our dances, our yearbook, and our graduation festivities. Interested and sympathetic, he was always will- ing to see our point of view. He has been a friend to all the seniors in their three year stay in Port High. Because of his ready wit, smile, and clever French cliches, he is also a favorite among all his pupils. Thus, the Senior Class of 1950 extends a vote of thanks and appre- ciation to Mr. Macintosh, and wishes him many more successful years at Port Washington High School. A A 7 Tr 1 a X v —w — II.

Kerr STUDENT COUNCIL general organization The purpose of the G. O. is to better the school as a whole and the students as individuals. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Hendrickson, and President Joe Easano, Veep Wally Hyde, Secretary Betty Nicholson, and Treas- urer Jim McNamara, the G. O. has become a clearing house for Senior High problems. Its first important task of the year, successfully com- pleted by a financial committee, headed by Jim McNamara, was the selling of the G. O. tickets. Its next job was the planning of the annual pep rally before the first football game of the year. Because of premature celebrations, the rally was held in the auditorium this year. Many council members attended the meetings of the Nassau League of Student Councils. The representatives returned enthusiastic about exchanging ideas and opinions with students from other schools. They reported to the Council those they considered applicable to Port. As the G. O. found itself with many new topics to dis- cuss, but with little time in which to do so, a steering com- mittee was formed. This consisted of the four G. O. officers and several other outstanding students. They met daily during fourth period and attacked the more pressing issues: the changing of the G. O. ticket to include more and better activities; the changing of our electoral system to eliminate the popularity contest; and the arousing of student interest and participation in the various clubs and school activities. The steering committee brought a summary of their ideas to the G. O., and the Student Council acted upon its sug- gestions. The G. O. also worked with Red Domino, the Athletic Department, The Port Weekly, and the Music Department in their activities. Among the important, successful projects given by the G. O. were the Christmas Dance and the President s Ball. MICHAEL McGRADY � y Ted Ko ✓ 10 sophomores SOPH GIRLS sophomore class history Remember the summer of '49 ?—those lazy, sunny days when the up and coming Sophs were having their last fling before the journey to Port Washington High? How most of us envied the upperclassmen. . . . They were what we hoped to be. Here we were the youngsters of the school, perhaps a little frightened, but as soon as the first school week was over, we were part of Port High. Things started rolling almost immediately . . . election of class officers resulted in Buddy John- son as President, Joyce Crooker as Vice-President, Marile Marzo as Secretary, Pat Haron as Treas- urer and last, but far from least, Mrs. Kerr as Faculty Advisor. Thomasine Orr and Neil Lanzendorf showed trooper's talent as the leads in Fantasy on an Empty Stage. And then, how about Tommy in Dear Ruth”? Sports played an all important part in the lives of the class of '52. We will always remember Carl Booker on Varsity football . . . Eddie Musslewhite, George Adami, and Edward Bialobr- zeski on J. V. . . . Boys' basketball and another terrific turnout . . . Stretch, Eddie Musselwhite, George Adami, Joe DeMeo, Bob Kull, Walt Palawsky, Etch, Neil Lanzendorf, Ed Bialobrzfski, and Carmen Laucella all made J. V. . . . Some of the girls had their share too—Saturdays at Wurtz’ . . . basketball??? Winter was in full swing. Not to be outdone, we had our class dance. . . . Winter Wonder- land ... the decorations ... Lee Ann's worries ... the polar bear ... the north pole ... we had fun though. Interests were found in the Juniors and Seniors, both boys and girls. . . . David Dempster . . . Marie De Santo . . .

V. FOOTBALL TEAM football Port High opened its 1949 varsity football campaign at Oyster Bay. Though the team came out on the short end of a 20-14 score. Port looked good. Led by Floyd, speedy Oyster Bay back, the Baymen built up a 13-0 lead. Our boys fought back with touchdowns by Fasano and Zahn, sending Port ahead 14-13- In the middle of the final period, Floyd carried the ball over for Oyster Bay's winning mark. Port put up a good fight at Garden City. Trailing 6-0, Port picked up a Garden City fumble on the kick off. After a series of plays, Zahn carried the ball over. Zahn's next score, a 74 yard run, sent the Costello men ahead 12-6. Garden City picked up a touchdown but missed the extra point. The scoring ended Port 12, Garden City 12. At Manhasset, Captain Fasano looked superb as he and his team mates led Port to a 13-6 victory. Roslyn was the next victim. Zahn and DeBow intercepted two passes that set up a pair of Blue and White touchdowns. Mallon carried the ball over both times while Gallone made Roslyn's only tally on a Port fumble. At the Westbury game, Green Wave received its first defeat of the year. The score was 20-8. Booker, on a pitch out from Cosolito, ran to pay dirt. Westbury came alive; Deskin trapped Booker in the Port end zone and cut our lead. Port kicked off to the C een and a few plays later, Deskin carried the ball for a Westbury score. The half ended with visitors ahead 8-6. As the play started again, Cosolito got a long pass off to Booker, who converted it into a touch- down. The final Port tally came on a Cosolito to Fasano pass. The Costello men scored their first shutout victory of the season at the expense of Great Neck. Port kicked off, but a fumble, recovered by the Blue and White, terminated a short Great Neck drive in the opening period. As a result of this miscue, Zahn broke for an 85 yard run, and a second Blue and White touchdown. In the last quarter, Booker's fifty-four yard jaunt added the third and final score of the game. The final in that game: Port 19, Great Neck 0. After four wins in a row, Port faced a powerful Glen Cove contingent. Led by Spillman and Britt, Glen Cove scored twice. Booker on a pitchout from Cosolito made the first Port score. It was matched, however, a few minutes later as Spellman ran over to make the score 27-6. A Zahn to Fasano pass set up the second Blue and White touchdown. Though Port put a good fight, the team was no match for the Covers, and they lost 45-13. Despite that last defeat and loss to Oyster Bay, it wasn't a bad season. The team took its four home games and tied with Garden City. Although not one of the best teams Port has turned out, this year's eleven had plenty of spirit and put a good showing in every game. Players from this team received all-scholastic recognition. They were Fasano, Marra and Zahn. Other lettermen who contributed to the success of the team were Zirpolo, Corney, Teta, Mura- tore, Moshier, Pennetti, T. Cosolito, DeLan, Francis, O Brien, Bilanski, Caruso, Volpe and Manager Denton Nichols. Though not a powerhouse, the spirit and play of the 1949 team will be remembered by many of us for a long time. 16 RAY KOERNIG GIRLS’ ATHLETIC COUNCIL G. A. A. The girls' athletic activities were successfully run this year under the leadership of the Girls' Ath- letic Council, which is made up of twelve girls—the president, vice-president and ten managers. The members of the council were Ann Peterson (president), Cynthia Preftakis (vice-president), Betty Nich- olson (tumbling), Nancy Schneelock (basketball), Marjory Peterson (volleyball), Alice Wallace (hockey), Margarite Waddell (modern dancing), Sally Douglas (archery), Vinnie D'Agostino (soft- ball), Claire Marshall (horseback riding), Carol Dunnells (racquet sports, such as badminton, ping pong, tennis), and Margie Dickinson (cheer leading). These managers were elected last year by the general election of the girls. The new managers were announced at the annual banquet in June. In September the council met and discussed its aim for this year—to promote school spirit in all sports. This aim together with the information concerning girls' sports was printed in a booklet which was distributed to all girls. The manager’s job is to assume the responsibility of the efficient organization of her club. She must also arrange with other schools for competitive games. In such clubs as Modern Dancing, Riding, and Tumbling, demonstrations are given for which the managers are responsible. This year the council prides itself in doing a superior job of organizing and managing. We wish next year's council much success. 19 ANN PETERSON Girls Sports This year the G.A.A. and Miss Foehrenbach suc- ceeded in bringing back some of that old-fashioned SCHOOL SPIRIT which had been lacking lately. This SCHOOL SPIRIT made the 1949-50 turnouts the largest ever. This fall the hockey team had an undefeated sea- son, except for the loss of their last game. Seniors Brandon, Schneelock, Wallace, Costello, Belanich, Neumann, Peterson, Robertson, Tramutolo, Cordera, Vanderwall, and D'Agostino were the strong offen- sive and defensive players. The Riding Club ended its season with a horse show, while in Volleyball an all-star Team was picked which won an exciting and packed game, from the Faculty. The basketball season started off with victories over Hicksville, Friends Academy and others. Schnee- lock, Brandon, Peterson and Belanich were the out- standing forwards, while Wallace, Wing and Costello led the guards. The Modem Dancers presented Casey at the Bat” and The Circus” at their annual demonstration. Preftakis, Waddell, Schneelock, Parker and Swift were outstanding. March 31 was Blue and White Sports Night. The Blue Captains, Brandon and Belanich led the Blues in The Dogpatch County Fair.” The White Captains, Costello and Miller, led the Whites in the Ice Follies. The spring sports, ping pong, badminton, tennis, archery and softball ended the sports of the year. The last sports event of the year was the G.A.A. Banquet, at which awards were given. Costello, Wal- lace, Schneelock and Belanich were named athletes of the year. BARBARA BELANICH VARSITY HOCKEY J. V. HOCKEY VARSITY BASKETBALL J. V. BASKETBALL JUNIOR GIRLS the class of '51 Two wonderful years of hard work and plenty of fun—years that most of us will never forget. Guided by an excellent panel of officers—John Wing, president; Gerald Volpe, vice-president; Betty Nicholson, secretary; and Eric Jude, Treasurer; and the Herculean efforts of Mr. Kezar, our faculty advisor, we had a very successful year. Early in October these officers and a special com- mittee of homeroom representatives chose our beautiful class rings. We contributed such stars as Norman DeLan, Vincent Caruso, Gerald Volpe, Victor White and Charlie Zahn to the football varsity, and at least ten other players to the J. V. In basketball, A1 Dumpson, Stanley Cutler, Dwight Otis, James McNamara, John Wing and Victor White set the pace on the varsity, while Bob Eckhardt (captain), Bob Micklin, Eric Jude, John Dumbkowski, and Eric Gabrielson kept things moving on the J. V. This year's peppy cheerleaders were all Juniors. Captain Betty Nicholson, Nancy Nern, Jane McCormick, Nancy Lantz, Marjory Peterson, Margo Preston, Karin Sandbloom, and Carol Need- ham cheered the team on to a very successful season with such snappy cheers as Two Bits. For the first time in seven years the Juniors triumphed in the Inter-Class Plays. But why shouldn't we? Aren't Joan Lamble, Claire Munson, Joe Greco, and Sally Brown among the best? The judges thought so. Not satisfied with this, we went right ahead and captured several parts in Dear Ruth, a Red Domino production. Wasn't Joan Lamble a perfect Miriam? Carol Need- ham a terrific maid? Carol Dunnells an ideal mother? And Mike McGrady an excellent lieu- tenant? We think so. Neither was the class of '51 lacking in school spirit. Betty Nicholson kept the minutes of the G. O. meetings and took care of the correspondence while James McNamara kept the records 22 JUNIOR BOYS straight. A great many Juniors were on the Athletic Council—Margaret Waddel, Betty Nicholson, Marjory Peterson, Carol Dunnells and Claire Marshall. Esther Thelander, Mary- lou Roper, Kathe Quarck, Fred Duell, Sey- mour Goldstein, Paddy Fried, Joe DeMarco, Bob Eckhardt, and Eric Jude held over half of all the special editorships on The Port Weekly. Several Juniors also worked on the Port Light staff. Though active in school activities, we kept our scholastic standing high, as can be seen at a glance by looking at the Honor Roll. Remember Carol Needham's sense of hu- mor? How Marjory Peterson and Joan Davidson headed all the dance decoration committees? Joe Greco's musical ability? Norman Delan's driving? It would not be fitting to close without mentioning the biggest dance of the year— the Junior Prom. Our Junior year completed, we wish the class of '50 all the luck, joy, and happiness possible.

Trailing by eleven points and entering the fourth and final quarter, Port managed to pull itself into a tie at the end of regulation time. An overtime period was played in which each team scored two points, sending the game into the fateful sudden death ' period. The final tap-in was made by Dwight Otis, Port's leading scorer. The boy who enabled the game to go into overtime was Francis O'Brien, who had spent most of the year riding the bench. During the last quarter he collected seven points. This 45-43 win over Manhasset avenged a previous 48-47 score. Port started off the season poorly by losing its first three non-league contests by large margins to Hicksville, Roslyn, and Sea Cliff. Port, led by Otis with 15 points and Walt Olstad with 14, surged back to win the Farmingdale game 52-49. Opening its league schedule at Adelphi College gym, Port absorbed a 61-41 drubbing at the hands of Garden City. Port bounced back and took at 34-31 contest from Great Neck. The high scorer was Mike McCormick with 13 points. In its first league game at home, the varsity cagers fell two points shy of beating Mineola, losing 49-48, despite the shooting of Mike McCormick and Olstad, who each tallied 17. This was followed by another one point loss, this time to Manhasset. Joe Fasano showed a return to his '48, '49 form by scoring 14 points. Port came up with its second league victory. This time over Glen Cove, 51-44, led by Olstad and A1 Dumpson who connected for 15 and 14 respectively. The Blue and White trounced Great Neck 42-24. Otis scored 10 points. The team then traveled to Mineola avenging its previous one point loss, whipping the Maroon 51-34 with McCormick scoring 15, ten of these in the first quarter. At Glen Cove, Port won 55-27, in its fourth win in as many starts. Three players, McCormick, Otis and Olstad were in double figures with 14, 12, and 10 points respectively. Garden City nosed out Port 46-41, even though Olstad hit for 13. Following the Garden City game was the Manhasset contest described before. High scorers for the season were Otis with 119, McCormick with 115, and Olstad with 95. During the last six games, of which Port won five. Coach Costello, who came up with a grand coaching job, used a two team system. The first team was an all-senior quintet of McCormick, Fasano, Olstad, Henderson and Marra. The second was a junior five consisting of McNamara, Dumpson, Otis, Cutler, and White. Others on the squad who deserve praise are John Wing, Bart Cosolito, Paul Hunter, Vernon Francis, and Francis O'Brien. Port tied for second place in the league with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. 26 PORT WEEKLY Associato Editors The Port Weekly under its editor-in-chief Emily Pickett had an excellent year. Assisted by the associate editors Eudora Griffiths. Pat McGrady, Joan Warden, and Clint Schmieg, the paper turned out fifteen issues for the student body. Members on the editorial board included Marilyn Lyons and Fred Duell who handled the news; Paddy Fried, feature editor; and Kathe Quarck who ran the copy desk. Jack Savidge and Joe DeMarco took care of the advertising and business end of the paper. A great deal of credit for the success of the paper should go to Mr. Kezar whose efforts and advice helped make The Port Weekly the success it was. In addition to being faculty advisor of the paper, he also taught the journalism class, a regular half- year course where the principles of newspaper work were taught. The journalism class contributed much time and material to the paper. The members of The Port Weekly experienced all the thrills and opportunities that are connected with the management and running of a newspaper. They attended press conferences at Columbia University and the Nassau Press Association meeting at Adelphi. Some of the lucky members attended the state con- ference at New York University. A number of the staff had the opportunity to see how papers are actually printed and the many proc- esses that are connected with the setting up of the draft through the finished product. Reading copy at the printers and making dummy sheets all became systematical to many of the students interested in making some phase of journalism their life's voca- Mr. C.

Merrill circle The Circle is the Port Washington High School chapter of the National Honor Society. Membership in this club is based upon scholarship, leadership, service and character. All students are on a point system. Students may become members of Circle after acquiring one hundred points, earned by the combined, points given in scholarship and extra-curricular activity. To be in Circle is thought to be the highest honor that a student may attain in his high school life. Circle, primarily a social club, meets once a month in the eve- ning. It is the one club privileged to have its meetings at night. After completing the necessary business to keep the club run- ning smoothly, the monthly meetings are given over to social activities and general relaxation; pingpong and such games as brain fever and charades are played. Following these activi- ties delicious refreshments are usually served. Twice a year meetings are devoted to the initiating of new members into the club at impressive, candlelight ceremonies. This year the club had a membership of approximately forty students. Every year at the graduation exercises, a silver cup is awarded by the Circle to the high school pupil who has attained the highest scholastic average for the school year. Under the very able guidance of Mr. Merrill, as faculty ad- visor, this year the club has been very successful with the leader- ship of President James Hazard, Vice-President Nancy Swift, Secretary Betty Duncan, and Treasurer Clinton Schmieg. 28 celerity Celerity signifies school service and this year, as in the past, the Celerity has more than lived up to its motto. In October, the Celerity gave its annual tea for the Sophomore girls, to acquaint them with the many and varied school activities. The Celerity members gave short talks explaining the require- ments and other details of the school clubs. In December, the Celerity decorated and filled baskets to be given by the Village Welfare to needy families in Port Washington. The Lonely Hearts Hen Hop was given by the club in February, and it was a huge success. Those present were enter- tained by the music of Bucky Walker and his orchestra. The pro- ceeds of the dance were given to the Community Chest. At many of the school plays and other activities. Celerity girls were always present to usher. The girls ushered at the Port Washington Play Troupe's production of Alice in Wonderland, at graduation, and at several concerts given by the various societies of Port Washington. For the first half of the year the club was led by Joy Occhipinti as President, Dorothy Brandon as Vice-President, Nancy Swift as Secretary, and Dorothy Eastman as Treasurer. In January, Susan Wing was elected President and Susan Wurtz, Treasurer. Under all the officers the duties of the club were carried on very successfully and very well. Mrs. Corson gave her expert advice as faculty advisor.

Ehre f ratry The Fratry this year accomplished many activities of which it can feel proud. Responsible for this success were our faculty advisor, Doc” Ehre, and our capable officers: President Joe Marra, Vice-President Wally Hyde, and Secretary-Treasurer Jim Hazard. We started our yearly activities assigning Fratry men to various jobs. First the program committee was set up, whose job it was to purchase the programs, sell the advertising space, print the programs, and finally sell them at the football and basketball games. Those on this committee were: Charlie Moshier, Ozzie Olstad, Mike McCormick, Tom Brown, A1 Pizzara, Joe Marra, Paul Pennetti, Rowdy Ballard, and Stewart Jones. At Christmas time we sponsored a party for all the children in the parochial and public schools. They were shown a movie and given ice-cream. This activity provided the most fun for us. Another project of the Fratry was that of selling pepsi-cola, hot dogs, popcorn, candy and potato chips at the games. The follow- ing fellows did the work: Wimpy Hazard, Wally Hyde, Dick Sheil, Bob Millar, Nick Teta, Aldo Muratore, Ed Mallon, Charlie Moshier, Bob Buchanan, Don Bell, Jay De Bow, Bart Cosolito, and Jack Savidge—the business-minded director. At the Interclass Plays the Fratry trophy was presented for the best acting, and the Fratry Sportsmanship trophy was awarded on graduation night. The Fratry also sponsored an oratorical contest in which any student could enter and three prizes were given. This year the initiation of new members was held in the fall. These new members are Dick Elken, Dick Comey, A1 Bilanski, Bob Eckhardt, Eric Jude, Jim McNamara, Norman DcLan, Vin- cent Caruso, Gerry Volpe, and John Dumbkowski. The Fratry feels that under the officers which they have elected they have gone far. A vote of thanks goes to Joe Marra, Wally Hyde, Jim Hazard and our faculty advisor, Mr. Edward Ehre. The club hopes that the unsung heroes who tackled the dirty jobs, such as cleaning up the stand after games, will not be forgotten and also that the high standards of the Fratry will be continued next year. 30 Clio, the honor history club, maintains a large, active membership and meets on the third Tuesday every month. It has had a very successful year under the leadership of Mrs. Johnson, faculty advisor; Cynthia Preftakis, Presi- dent; Dorothy Brandon, Vice-President; Joan Warden, Secretary; and Joy Occhipinti, Treasurer. The program has been unsually interesting and varied. At the beginning of the year we were fortunate in having as speaker from France, Mr. Oberkampf, a member of the U. N. Secretariat, who gave an interesting talk on the workings of this organization. Brenda Lu Forman provided an interesting meeting with a talk about her trip to Europe last summer. In March, Mme. Louis DeLanney spoke to the Clio about her recent trip to Southern France. This program was both interesting and educational. The Clio also sent four members each month to attend Miss Avery's lectures in Manhasset. These members re- ported on the lectures to the rest of the club. Approximately twenty-five student scientists made up the roll call of the Retort this year. At monthly meetings, this enthusiastic group gathers in the chem lab to listen to a lecture, see a scientific movie, or to plan other activi- ties. Under the leadership of Bob Ames, who was assisted by John Cipollone and Harry Odink, the club continued to function smoothly this year. In one of the earlier meetings of the year, the club heard an interesting and informative talk about oil by Mr. Hazard. Other activities included a movie on atomic energy and the theory of the H-Bomb, and a trip to see an atomic energy demonstration. To obtain membership in Retort, students must have received honor marks in science courses, and must have displayed an active interest in the scientific field. Although graduation last June left the club with only three members, it regained full membership by admitting some twenty odd students last fall. The success of the club for the past twenty-one years is due largely to the able assistance of our faculty advisor, Mr. Pickett. r e t This year the Art Club has had a very successful year. The meetings have been most interesting and different. In the fall a well-known artist showed the members of the Club his technique of painting. At another meeting several members of the club told about the lives of the important artists of yesterday and today and showed illus- trations of their work. At Christmas each member brought a gift for the grab-bag, and everyone had fun finding his own prize. During every meeting of the Art Club the members were entertained by lectures and movies which maintained interest in the club. It also helped increase the membership, which is open to everyone. The club has prospered under the artistic eye of Mrs. Kerr, the faculty advisor. Nancy Robertson as president, Marjory Peterson as secretary, Ann Peterson as treasurer, and Eleanor Prins as program chairman have also done more than their share in contributing to the success of the club. b Laeti Latini, translated Happy Latins, which is composed of over thirty members, meets the first Tuesday of every month. The Latin Club helps more than anything else to bring to life the ancient language of Latin by giving its members a better understanding of the life, language and character of the Roman people. Students gain extra knowledge of Roman daily life which they would not learn in regular classes. One of the highlights of the club's season this year was a lecture by Brenda Lu Forman on some of the famous cities of Italy. Another event which was outstand- ing was G. B. Shaw's play Ceasar and Cleopatra,” which the club had the good fortune to see. At the beginning of each term students who had earned qualifying marks in Latin were initiated at impressive ceremonies. The club owes gratitude to its faculty advisor, Miss Marguerite Duffy, and to its officers: President Letty Lucent, Vice-President Joan Warden, Secretary Mary Lou Roper, and Treasurer Janet Crawley. club the service- The Service League, perhaps the most valuable club in school, had another successful year. They did a splendid job of restoring law and order to the halls of Port Washington High School. The twenty-one members met monthly. Each member of the league deserves much credit, because his job was made difficult by new students and new schedules each semester. The members of the league were also on duty during their lunch periods. Mr. Brown was the faculty advisor for the league. His assistance was invaluable. Some of the hard-working members were: Janet Lauck, James Hazard, Edward Gore, Howard Ballard, Bob Buch- anan, Mike Smith, Fred Bartowski, Nancy Crowl, Bob Raboud, Sally Douglass, Betty Blanc, Bob Ames, Harry Odink, John Cipollone, Dick Sheil, Joe Marra, Albert Olsen, John Cucchi, and Jack Savidge. The members served not only in the halls guiding students, but they were also ready to help any school activity which requested aid. The Commercial Club is an honor club into which commercial students who obtain outstanding marks are accepted. Each year the members make several interesting trips to various business firms. This year they visited, among others, the New York Stock Exchange and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The Commercial Club also provides for its members a variety of social activities, including parties at the regular meetings and a hot dog roast at the beach in the spring. A food collection for the Village Welfare was sponsored by the club at Christmas time. Twenty cases of food were donated. The high point of the year came in February when ten students became members of the club. The antics of initiation day will long be remembered. The club again gave its annual award to the year's outstanding commercial student. The affairs of the club were efficiently managed this year by: President, Marion Caradonna; Vice-President, Cora Chadow; Secretary, Gladys Leitz; Treasurer, Mona Cordera. Mr. Schafer served as faculty advisor. Red Domino changed its schedule this year by following the Inter-Class Plays with its annual three-act play. This was done to enable the members to have more time to work out various assembly programs and also to work on several dramatic features which were presented after school. The movies, Stairway to Heaven and Shoe- shine, which Red Domino showed, were enjoyed by many students. The Inter-Class Play Contest resulted in a major upset, when the Juniors with their play, What Never Dies,” won the cup over the Seniors (for the first time in eight years). The Seniors weren't completely pushed out of the spotlight, because Margaret Dickinson received the Fratry Cup for the best performance of the evening. The comedy, Dear Ruth,” was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Thomasine Orr and Pat McGrady were featured in the play. Under the able direction of Letty Lucent, President; Kathy Quarck, Secretary; and Mr. Ehre as Faculty Advisor, Red Domino progressed through a successful year. This year the Theater Group had a very successful year under the leadership of its officers who were: President, Dorothy Brandon; Vice-President, Cynthia Preftakis; Secretary, Sally Alexander; Treasurers, Susan Wing and Kathe Quark, and Faculty Advisor, Mr. Schoenborn. Eloise Hyde was elected as Secretary in February when Sally Alexander was graduated. Although membership was limited to interested juniors and seniors, a large number of students joined the Theater Group, making it one of the largest clubs in Port High. Regular meetings were held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. At these meetings plays were discussed and the next month's choices were voted upon. Throughout the academic year, the members of the Theater Group were privileged to attend many fine Broad- way productions. Among the plays seen during the 1949-50 season were: Montserrat,” starring Emlyn Williams; Madwoman of Chaillot, with Martita Hunt in the title role; I Know My Love, with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine; Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, starring Carol Channing, and Member of the Wedding.” atre oup Focus, the school photography club, whose purpose is to further photographic interest in the school, had a suc- cessful year under the guidance of Mr. Dimmick. This year the club consisted of the following members. Carl Dahl, Paddy Fried, Barbara Wheeler, Jean Whyte, Fred Duell, Claire Marshall, Tony Holt, Nina Stephenson, Walter Wilczelc, Pat Lynch, Janet Ackerly, A1 Pennetti, Deane Land, Pat McGrady, Mary F. Teta, and Seymour Treasurer, Walter Wilczek. At each monthly meeting an assignment is given to the members. The results of these are then discussed and criticized at the next meeting. This has proved an interesting and instructive way of studying photography. The Focus has high hopes that in the near future it will be able to obtain a dark-room on the first floor. Its future plans also include an annual photography contest. Some of the members of Focus entered the Kodak and Ansco National Contest this year. With the help of Mr. Dimmick, the Focus hopes to continue with its program in years to come. The Projection Club was organized by Mr. Young to teach boys and girls of our High School how to run a motion picture projector correctly. The purpose of the club was to assure there being a student in each class able to run the projector. The club is a service league similar to the Traffic Squad. To date it has not elected any officers. The boys are under the leadership of Mr. Young. Expert projector operators are: Malcolm Flack, Charlie Crooker, Alex Nofi, Billy Ludeker, Frank Ryan, Fred Bartkowski, Joe Guzzello, Karl Held, John Falque, Billy Clark, Donald Seifts, Bob Mullon, Bill Fisher, Buddy Moran, Fred Held, and Teddy Kacziaski. The club members have run the projector in many classes and in assem- blies when full-length features have been scheduled. They have been on hand also to operate the cameras for the Parent-Teachers Association, and were of service to the Fratry at the children's Christmas party when films were shown. ... tv- During the year the club acquired a number of new members including Burt Kurz, Joe Burns, Jerry Koermg, Ciero Gregorio. Dick Shcil, Tom Mackey, Bob Tilcy, Pat McGrady, and Jack Savidge. The officers of the club were: President, Nina Stephenson; Vice-President, Tony Holt; Secretary, Claire Marshall; the link trainer club The Link Trainer Club was formed by a group of air-minded students who wished not only to fly, but to exercise their knowledge of aeronautics. This purpose is carried out by class discussions, which are under the direction of Mr. Mcllhenny, before whom the students pool their ideas. The link trainer teaches coordination of controls and the use of the intricate instruments used in air navigation. All the club members have mastered the use of the controls and learned how to read the instruments of the link trainer. Many of these boys intend to venture into the field of aeronautics because of the interest in flying that they have acquired in this club. There are certain tests or patterns” that every member must pass. Most of the students in the Link Trainer Club have passed the first pattern. The members also learn the fundamentals of blind” flying. Some of the students who have passed the first pattern are: Charles Copp, Henry Zebkowski, Franklin Picone, Dick Baker, Janet Compere, Fred Duell, John Thomson and Kenneth Holbrook. Other members of the club arc: Roy Baker, Ken Hollar, David Dempster, Vincent Cooper, Jane Cram, and Ray Graebe. Soon the members will be able to fly radio-range flying. Earlier in the year, the club took a trip to the Navy Base to see the various aviation devices and engines. This year. Modem Dance Club met on Wednesday afternoons under the able management of Margaret Waddell. The first month's meetings were devoted to warm-up routines and short patterns which helped to get the girls back into condition. From then on various numbers for the spring recital were rehearsed. Each girl in the club took part in one of the three group numbers— Rodeo, a western melodrama; Go Down Death, a Negro spiritual; and Persian Market, an oriental fantasy. The entrance number, Under The Big Top, carried out a circus theme. Horses, snakes, seals, bareback riders, jugglers and tightrope walkers were portrayed in realistic manner. The climax of the season was the presentation of the big production Casey At The Bat. With the aid of both musical and poetical accompaniment, this famous baseball story was enacted. All in all, the modern dancers enjoyed a very successful season. We are looking forward to the continuing success of this club in Port High. Bowling Team tennis Port High School's tennis team, under the coaching of Mr. Brown, had a rather disappointing season this year, winning three games and losing four. However, the high-light of the season was Mike McCormick's winning streak of six straight before being stopped by Manhasset's Bob Dealey in a tight match that could have gone either way. Playing 2nd singles this year for the Blue and White was Bob Neely. Having tough luck in a number of close matches, Bob ended up the season with a three and four record. A newcomer for Port this year was sophomore Eddie Sloan, who played 3rd singles. Although ending up with a mark of three wins and four losses, Eddie showed good possibilities of becoming a top-notch performer. At 1st doubles were Larry Park and Bobby Hunter, who played good, if not somewhat erratic tennis. Switching back and forth at 2nd doubles were Charlie Scott, Billy Levine, Joy Ashton, Roger Irving, Eddie Gore and Billy Chapman. Next year's team will miss sorely McCormick, Neely, Parks, Scott and Ashton. Mike McCormick, compiling a sensational record of 20 wins and 3 losses, completed his fourth year with the squad. ROBERT BUCHANAN 37 music A large number of students participated in music activities and consequently the band, orchestra and choir were very successful. Several members of the band and the orchestra represented Port Washington in the All-State Music Festival at Bayshore in November. An even greater number took part in the Competition Festival in May. The band, under the direction of Mr. Christopher, had another excellent year. Besides marching at the football games and parades at home, it played with the massed bands of Nassau County at the Mineola Fair early in the season. The band also played its annual concert at the Fair. The annual band concert in April and the New York State Competition Festival in May were the important events for the band. Both went off very well. Youth Triumphant, Arioso, Tcnaikowsky's Sixth Symphony (second movement), South Pacific, The Unfinished Symphony, and His Honor were the main numbers this year. The band also included in its schedule for the year a concert in the assembly and one for the Junior High School. The officers this year were: Clinton Schmieg, President; Betty Duncan, Secretary; Dorothy Brandon, Assistant Secretary; Joe Greco, Librarian; Fred Lewis, Assistant Librarian. Gwen Phillips and Carol Brant did the twirling at the football games and parades. The All-School orchestra under Mr. Mesrobian surpassed all those of previous years. It gave an excellent annual concert in the spring and made a fine showing at the Competi- tion Festival. The orchestra also played for school plays. The assembly program presented by the orchestra was an excellent one. Mr. Mesrobian gave his audience a better under- standing of the music by showing what made up the music. In a very interesting and entertaining manner, he explained a little about the music the orchestra played and had sections of the orchestra play certain parts of the music to illustrate. Ann Peterson and Connee White were the President and Secretary respectively. Russian Sailor's Dance,” Beethoven s Fifth Symphony, and Ballet Music from Aida” were some of the main orchestra numbers. Mr. Christopher directed the choir and the girls’ glee club in one of the best years for each. At the Christmas assembly both groups sang a variety of carols, hymns, and novelties, including The Lord Bless You and Keep You, Carol of the Bells,” and My Two Front Teeth. The choir also was an added attraction to the annual band and orchestra concerts. Betty Duncan served as President; Dot Brandon as Secretary. One of the outstanding assemblies of the year was the special music program con- sisting of solos and ensembles by band and orchestra members. Under the organization and management of Margie Peterson, the program went so well that it is hoped it will become an annual occurrence. A brass sextet, flute trio, violin duet, and a comet solo were featured. JANET CRAWLEY Choir Band 39 Baseball Team Track Team 42 Don£ Mox For Pori High Anthony Sovini VoUdictorion PRESIDENT ...
