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

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 . . . Suzy Blair . . . Rose Marie De Voe ... Fay Spratt.. . Neil Lanzendorf. . . . Pat Haron kept dreaming of Plattsburg . . . Myrna Horowitz of Monticello . . . Dot DeMeo of E. M.? . . .
