Schreiber High School - Port Light Yearbook (Port Washington, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1951 volume:

proudly and sincerely we dedicate our yearbook to you, Mr. Charles Kezar, because we want you to know how very much we appreciate the unfailing inter- est you have taken in all school activities. As class advisor in our junior and senior years, you generously devoted so much of your time and effort to make every one of our numerous undertakings a success. Without your willing help and capable assistance it is doubtful that we could have accomplished what we have. Always popular with the students, your untiring work on the Spring Carnival and your energetic supervision for many years as faculty advisor of the PORT WEEKLY have endeared you to them still further. That winning smile and cheery hello with which you greet everyone merely serves to make your will- ingness to lend a helping hand more sincere. As much may be said for your enthusiasm which increases with each added assignment. Thus, the senior class thanks you Mr. Kezar and hopes that your ready smile, biteless bark, and sympathetic interest will continue to make you a favorite among your pupils for years to come. 5 Mr. Schoenborn Mr. Merrill German, English Miss Buckley Miss Duffy Home Economics Dietician Shop Mr. Mesrobian Miss Fohrenbach Mr. See be r Mrs. Webster Mr Scherer Music Physical Education Physical Education Guidance Guidance Mr. Costello Mr. Hendrickson Mr. Pickett Mathematica, Coach Mathematics Chemistry Mrs. B4genau Mr. Geruso Miss Smith Mrs. Flye 1 ihrarian Driver Education Nurse Attendance Art and Layout Staff Staff EDITORS: Marylou Roper Keith Bullard SENIOR WRITE-UPS: Sallie Brown, Editor Elizabeth Fried Richard Littlejohn Barbara Blanchard Ester Thelander Carol Copp Jennie Fenu Seymour Goldstein Mary Teta Cynthia Wurtz Margo Preston Constance Ignacak CLASS HISTORIES: Nancy Crowl Marjory Hazard Judith Neely Dorin Oltarsh CLUBS: Eleanor Rugen SPORTS: Donald O'Brien Carol Needham TYPISTS: Anna May Hirsch, Chairman Barbara Sozzi Santina Frommja Joan Salerno Nita Nataloni Irene Nakelski Eileen Murray Katherine Brennan FACULTY ADVISOR: Mr. James A.

Much of this success has been because of the efficient leadership of president John Wing, vice-presi- dent Joan Davidson, secretary Margaret Ingley, and treasurer Frank Harding. Joan Davidson took over the office of vice-president when Mi- chael McGrady went to Paris early in the year. Mr. Hendrickson continued to give his useful guidance as faculty advisor. The first big project of the year was the sale of G.O. tickets, the main source of income for the G.O. Some of the money collected was given to the music and athletic departments, some to the PORT WEEKLY and Red Domino, and some was used to provide new uniforms for the twirlers, who are sponsored by the G.O. At the beginning of the year, the project of rewriting the school Constitution was under- taken. A committee was formed to revise and reword the document. After several months of hard work, a draft was drawn up and presented to the G.O. for discussion. Finally in December, the Constitution was ratified. After the committee finished that job, it began the task of writing an informative handbook to be given to all sophomores and new students. The G.O. sponsored a big pep-rally the night before the football game with Manhasset, and throughout the year it furnished busses for out of town games. The annual G.O. Christmas dance was a success worthy of the hard effort put into it. The Spring Carnival again under the auspices of the student government, con- cluded this, a very successful and profitable year for the G.O. Priscilla Spaulding Student Council Mr. Hendrickson, Advisor John Wing, Pres. Joan Davidson, Vice-pres. Frank Harding, Treas. Circle Mr. William Merrill, Advisor Marylou Roper, Pres. Nancy Crowl, Sec. Marjorie Eckberg, Vice-pres. Kathy Quarck, Treas. Circle is the Port Washington High School chapter of the National Honor Society, the Phi Beta Kappa of high schools all over the coun- try. Membership in the Circle is considered one of the highest honors in the school. As a result, qualifications for membership are rather steep. To be a member, one must accumulate one hun- dred points, of which seventy-five, as a mini- mum, must be scholastic. The remaining points may be acquired by participation in various ex- tra-curricular activities. New members are initi- ated twice a year at an impressive ceremony where the candles of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, for which the Circle stands, are lighted. The only club in the school that has evening meetings, Circle meets the second Monday eve- ning of every month. After a short business meeting, the club spends the remaining time playing such intellectual games as brain fever and enjoying delicious refreshments. Among the activities of the Circle are the an- nual spring picnic and the presentation of a Circle cup at the end of the year to the student with the highest scholastic average for that year. The recipient has his name engraved on the large cup in our trophy case and is given a smaller cup of his own. Each year approximately ten Circle members compete for the National Honor Society scholar- ship. This year the ten who participated were Kathe Quarck, Marylou Roper, Nancy Crowl, Keith Bullard, Carole Dunnells, Joan Davidson, Priscilla Spaulding, John Wing, James Steuer, and Herman Jacobs. The Circle has thrived this year under the able leadership of Mr. Merrill, the faculty ad- visor, and its officers: Marylou Ropier, president; Marjorie Eckberg, vice-president; Nancy Crowl, secretary; and Kathe Quarck, treasurer. Eleanor Rugen seniors juniors sophomores Senior _Jliitorii Looking back after three years, we wonder how so many exciting events could be packed into such a short time. Port will long remember the unforgettable football and basketball games, with the all-time stars Charlie Zahn, Norman DeLan, Jim Car- uso, Gerry Volpe, and Victor White on the football field. Stan Cutler, A1 Dumpson, Dwight Otis, Bob Eckardt, John Wing, and Jim McNamara monopolized the basketball court. The G.A. headed by Marjory Peterson and Carole Dunnells has had a successful year. There was a large number of seniors on the various teams, including hockey, basketball, and volleyball (We’ll never forget the hilarious fac- ulty-senior volleyball game in the gym!). The class officers are to be congratulated on their fine jobs in running all of our class affairs. Jim McNamara did an excellent job as presi- dent, with Carole Dunnells as his able assistant. Kathe Quarck took care of the secretarial duties while Marjory Peterson collected the dues. Our Thespians have been outstandingly suc- cessful during the past years. As juniors we won the Inter-class play contest, with Joan Lamble, Claire Munson, Joe Greco, and Sally Brown as stars. This year our best actors in the Senior play were Astrid Quarck and A1 LaPera. Several seniors earned choice roles in the Spring play, “What a Life,” the original Henry Aldrich play. Some of those were: Herman Jacobs, Charles Price, and Allen Davies (both newcomers) Bar- bara Blanchard, Eleanor Rugen, Carole Dun- nells, and Kathe Quarck. All these maintained the prestige of the class of ’51 with their skilled performances. Our class dances have always been top pro- ductions. The most outstanding of these was the Senior Ball, “Night of Fantasy,” with surrealism, provided by Joanie Davidson and Marge Peter- son, as the theme. CLASS OFFICERS: James McNamara, President; Carole Dunnells, Vice President; Marjorie Peterson, Treasurer; Kathe Quarck, Secretary. Kathe Quarck, Valedictorian Marylou Roper, Salutatorian The seniors have worked hard on the school publication during their stay at Port High. This year, under the able direction of Fred Duell, the PORT WEEKLY published a mammoth edition celebrating its twenty-fifth year of exis- tence.

Junior Class Girls 34 Junior Class Boys Two years gone . . . two successful ones! We started our junior year by electing our class officers: George Adami as president, Joyce Crooker as vice-president, Margery Hazard as secretary, and Mary Natale as treasurer. They worked throughout the year with our newly formed Faculty Advisory Board of junior home room teachers. Our sports, on the masculine side, included such well-known characters in football as Carl Booker, Walt Palawsky, Eddie Bialabrzski and George Adami. When basketball came we added “Stretch,”“Eddie,”Pete Walters and Billie Jankowski to the list of stars. Then too, many of our boys slaved away during track and base- ball season, with very good results. And who can forget Eddie Sloane’s prowess on the tennis courts! To keep up the teams’ spirits, we had one of the best cheering squads ever with Marilyn Moore, Dot Breska, Eleanor MacPherson, Pat Haron, Fay Spratt, Lee Ann McGrath, Barbara Wheeler, Sally Enscoe, and Nancy McDonough, under the leadership of captain Joyce Weber. Among the consistent stars in feminine sports were: Jean Volpe, Sue Tiley, Carol Carpenter and Nicky Carment. Our class contributed con- siderably to the lists of Varsity and J. V. all through the year’s sports program. Besides these few, were all the girls who worked so hard and so faithfully in the intramural games. And none of us could forget all the fun and work in pre- senting the Modern Dance Recital. Those who were lucky got a chance to show their skill in our big production, NEW YORK SCENE. Re- member the comments that fell on our can-can girls in FIFI? The annual inter-class plays added Margie Ingley, Nancy Ramey, Judy Westrom, “Bobbie” Millman and Marile Marzo to the list of actors and actresses in our class. And when the time came to choose the two best actresses, Margie Ingley and Bobbie Millman took the laurels. In the Red Domino’s spring presentation of WHAT A LIFE, remember what a riot Fred Johnson was, and what a dazzling “Gertie” “Bobbie” Mill- man was? Mrs. Marchese, Chairman; George Adami. Pres.; Joyce Crooker, Vice-pres.; Margery Hazard, Sec.; Mary Natale, Treas. Janet Ackerly, Janet Kuhl, Preston Pumphrey and many others worked hard on the PORT WEEKLY. Orchestra, band and choir attracted many of our musically inclined geniuses. And of course, Clio, Circle, Theater Group, PORT LIGHT, Red Domino and Celerity also claimed the time of the busy juniors. We were well represented on the administra- tive end too. Margaret Ingley and Frank Hard- ing did a wonderful job in keeping our G.O. secretarily and financially straight. Besides our G. O. officers, many of the class of '52 worked behind the scenes in Steering Committee, Stu- dent Council and the Traffic Squad. Our abilities were tested successfully on such problems as the lunchroom, conflicting after school schedules and the livening up of home room meetings. Remember how glad we were to be juniors ... how long we waited for our rings ... and how many times Myrna got stuck with the job letter- ing posters . . . how some hearts stayed in P. W. H. S. and some left for college . . . and all the trials and tribulations that came with the Junior Prom, which was of course the best dance of the year! But now June has come, and we want to say good-bye and good luck to the class of ’51, which has served as a model for us during our first two years at high school. Margery Hazard 35 Sophomore Class 36 onli om ore Here's remembering all the swell times we had as sophomores—even though we were con- sidered by the upper-classmen as one of the lower forms of animal life. The “soph’s” have left their mark in the dra- matic annuals of Port. Our proudest moment occurred when we won the Interclass Play Con- test (it was the first time in seven years). The play was entitled “A Room for Rodney” with Joann Ford and Bob Price receiving best actress and actor awards in the play. Others in the cast were Dorin Oltarsh, Malcolm Hill, Dorian Davis, Olga Osterholm, and Jay Green, who, to top it all, won the Fratry award for the best performance of the evening. A Junior Red Dom- ino was established this year under the direc- tion of Red Domino’s vice-president, Joan Lamble. The officers were Jay Green, president and Dorian Davis, secretary. Some of the mem- bers of this club presented a play in the sum- mer entitled, ’ The Youngest.” The players were Sandra Ingram, Bill Bowman, Carolyn Crisafulli, Jay Green and Olga Osterholm. The sophomore girls, Ann Hoins and Olga Osterholm, took second and third places in the short story contest sponsored by the PORT Weekly. On the sport's side of the activities we find that Joe Chichanowski (“Chicken”) received his varsity letter for football. Also Bill Bowman, “Chicken,” Bob Gaska, and John Olley made the J. V. basketball team. Last but not least, Marty Seddon and John Olley starred on the cross-country team, which was organized this year. On the feminine side, congratulations are due to Pat Cooper, who was the only sophomore to make the varsity hockey team. Charlotte Bot- tinger, Patty O'Brien, Joyce Burroughs, Jane Markland, and Nancy Weber made the J. V. hockey team. Cookie Knoblach, Carole Spenard, Nibia Nataloni, and Charlotte Bottinger made either the blue or white volleyball team. Our class was run very efficiently by Bill Mc- Iver, president, Joe Chichanowski, vice-presi- dent, Jean Gancher, secretary, and Charlotte Bottinger, treasurer. We had our biggest head- ache with the sophomore dance, “The Heart- Mr. T. Dimmick, Chairman; William Mclver, Pres.; Charlotte Bottinger, Treas.; Jean Gancher, Sec. beat.” (We sophomores had a hard time collect- ing dues!!) Many of the sophomores have taken part in the musical activities of Port High. Lucilia Kim- ball and Nancy Stover tooted away on their flute and clarinet respectively, and Bill Bowman played his violin. Few sophomores are eligible for the school’s honor clubs, but we are proud of the fact that quite a lot of us entered the Latin Club. Some of the happy Latins are Jean Gancher, Dorin Oltarsh, Jeanne Mundschenk, Peter Mertz, Joyce Burroughs, Bill Bowman, Gayle Gough, and many others. Now, finally we would like to thank our class officers, home room officers, council members, faculty advisor, Mr. Dimmick, and last but not least the swell seniors and juniors for helping up make this such a wonderful year for all of us. We’ll never forget it, and it makes us look forward to next year with pleasant anticipation. Judith Neely Dorin Oltarsh 37 Celerity Mrs. Piazza, Advisor Astrid Quarck, Pres. Jane McCormick, Vice-pres. Joan Lamble, Treas. Marjorie Eckberg, Sec. CeL eriL 'i Celerity has come a long way since it was organized back in 1926, but its main purpose is still the same—service to the school and to the community. Its members are girls who not only have high scholastic records, but who also participate in many other school activities. It is not a social club; it is a club with many jobs to accomplish, and its past performance has proved its efficiency. This year Celerity has been very active in many fields. In October, it held its annual tea for sophomore girls to acquaint them with the aspects of their new life in Senior High. A number of Celerity girls gave short talks describ- ing the different clubs and other activities in school; it was hoped that these talks would cre- ate interest in these things and help the sopho- more to select those of her choice. Just before Christmas, the girls dressed about a dozen dolls for the Community Santa Claus. The clothes were painstakingly hand-sewn, and those dolls in all their finery made twelve little girls in Port Washington very happy on Christ- mas morning. Also, during the Yule season, each Celerity girl decorated a small basket, and put into it a dozen cookies and a jar of jam. The baskets were taken to the Village Welfare, filled with food, and given to poor families in town. One of the main jobs of Celerity is to furnish ushers for different functions throughout the year. The girls acted as guides and served re- freshments at Parents’ Night early in the year, and served at several banquets. These gracious ushers you saw the night of the Interclass Plays last fall were also Celerity girls; that is only one example of their work, however. Remember the ushers at the Spring play, at the Band Con- cert, and at Graduation? They, too, were mem- bers of the most active club in school. But all is not work in Celerity; a “hen-hop” was given in February. The theme was “The Vineyard”, and amid huge clusters of purple grapes, couples danced at one of the most suc- cessful events of the year. All the proceeds went to a worthy cause, the North Shore Hospital Fund. President Astrid Quarck, vice-president Jane McCormick, secretary Marjorie Eckberg, and treasurer Joan Lamble, expertly assisted by Mrs. Piazza, led Celerity throuh a highly suc- cessful year. Mr. Horton, Advisor Robert Eckhardt, Pres. James McNamara, Treas., Sec. Robert Micklin, Vice-pres. ’ Y Being a member of Fratry doesn’t mean that you simply go to meetings and wear a maroon jacket. The honor doesn’t end there, for a Fratry member is expected to work, and there are cer- tainly enough jobs to do to keep every member busy. This year, as in past years, one of these jobs was to sell refreshments at all home football games. Working valiantly against a tide of chilled and hungry spectators, they sold enough coffee, hot-dogs, candy, popcorn, and coke to feed a small army, and managed to dispose of many a program, too. And let’s not forget those members who cleaned up the mess after the games. At home basketball games, the Fratry had a double duty. The first was to manage the con- cession stand, selling coke, popcorn, and candy. This included seeing that those empty wrappers and bottles ended up in the right places, not on the floor. The second duty arose from a definite problem. During the halves, between games, in time-out periods, and even while the games were in progress, fans often came out onto the court, hindering the players and causing confusion. To prevent this, a Fratry police force was set up to warn over-eager or careless spectators off the court. With the money received from the conces- sions, Fratry purchased a Coca Cola machine, which was installed in the cafeteria. The ma- chine was not operated during school time, but could be used after school, after basketball games, and at dances. Another purchase of the Fratry was a beauti- ful case in which the new Constitution of Port High was displayed. Club funds were also used to make generous donations to the Polio and Heart Disease campaigns, and to local charities. At the Interclass Plays, the Fratry “Best Actor” cup was presented to Jay Green; the annual oratorical contest was held in the Spring, as was the big Fratry dance. And at the end of the year, a cup was presented to the “best-all- around” girl in the graduating class. Under the guidance of Mr. George Horton, president Bob Eckhart, vice-president Bob Micklin, and secretary-treasurer Jim McNa- mara, Fratry has had an unusually busy and profitable year. Charles Price “Laeti Latini”, the Latin Club, was formed to give its members a better understanding of Roman culture, background, and customs. In former years special programs have been offered each month, but this year the pro- cedure was changed. One big project was undertaken, and the meetings were used for discussion and committee reports. This big project was a novel one—a pre- sentation of an authentic Roman banquet. The club members and interested students from the Latin classes did research to find out just what the Romans ate and wore at their famous feasts, and attempted to repro- duce these customs exactly. When the ban- quet was held in the spring, even the enter- tainment was a counterpart of the original. The officers this year were Nancy Crowl, president; Joan Hildebrandt, vice-president; Sandra Madeheim, secretary and Preston Pumphrey, treasurer. Miss Duffy was the capable faculty advisor. In the opinion of most of its members, Clio, the honorary history club, is one of the most informative clubs in the school. Much credit for the success of Clio should go to its presi- dent, Keith Bullard; vice-president, Astrid Quarck; secretary, Marjorie Eckberg; treas- urer, James Steuer; and faculty advisor, Mrs. Johnson. Among the programs offered at the month- ly meetings were talks by Mr. Hazard, Mr. Schreiber, and Priscilla Spaulding. Recently the club became a member of the Inter School World Relations Council of Long Island. Therefore during the year, Clio members attended two forums at Sewanaka High School and one at Westbury on the problem of world affairs. Also in the line of world affairs, four Clio members each month attended Miss Eunice Avery’s lectures at Manhasset. To end the year, the members went on a spring trip to New York. 7 lectori Under the able guidance of Mr. Pickett, the faculty advisor, and its officers—Kathe Quarck, president; Frank Harding, vice-presi- dent; and James Steuer, secretary-treasurer, Retort, the honorary science club increased its membership, gave a dance, sponsored a liquid-air demonstration, and otherwise ex- panded its activities during one of its most successful years. Meetings, which were generally short but entertaining, were held on the first Thursday of every month. At this time interesting and informative lectures and demonstrations were given on various scientific subjects. In one of the earlier meetings Jane McCormick, Nancy Nern, and Marjorie Eckberg made experimental tooth paste for the enjoyment of the club. To obtain membership in this club, stu- dents must have received honor marks in science courses and have shown a keen inter- est in the scientific field. -Art CLt The Art Club is mainly an activity club composed of students who are interested in art, regardless of whether or not they are taking art courses. Under the expert guidance of Mrs. Kerr, the faculty advisor, the club had a variety of entertaining and educational programs. At one of the fall meetings Miss Wadhams from the Parsons School of Design spoke on careers in art and showed some excellent examples of the various fields. While here, she also invited the members to attend the Parsons Fashion Show at the Hotel Astor. At another meeting some of the girls modeled evening clothes, while the rest of the club sketched them. In addition to attending the regular meet- ings, the members made posters, programs, and place cards, and worked on individual projects such as tooled leather belts and bags and decorated glasses and plates. 43 ? . r Service nLeatjue This year, for the first time, the Service League was incorporated into the General Organization. Frank Harding, as treasurer of the G.O., was the supervisor; he was assisted by three lieutenants—Robert Ra- boud, Coleen Gibson, and Alfred Dumpson. During the first half year, the twenty boys and girls of the League controlled traffic in the halls between periods. How- ever, it was decided that the conduct of the students was good enough to warrant discontinuing the use of monitors. This was done on the condition that if there was ex- cessive noise or confusion, the members of the League would resume their duties. A student court was organized to en- force the principles and laws behind the League. Judges conducted trials according The Projection Club, under the direc- tion of Mr. Young, was formed to acquaint the students with the operation of a mo- tion picture projector. Its purpose is to have at least one student in each class who knows how to run the projector. Students who are interested spend their fourth periods learning about the projector and its operation. When they have success- fully finished this course, they are given by Mr. Young a certificate, stating that they are equipped to run the projector. Its members are of service in all classes in which movies are shown. They also demonstrate their ability when movies are shown in assemblies and when various or- ganizations enlist their services. Although the club was recently organ- ized, it looks as if it will soon take its place among the permanent organizations of our high school. 44 3 OCllS The “camera bugs” of Port High suc- ceeded in making this the best year ever for Focus, the school photography club. Although the degree of photographic skill and experience of the members varied greatly, the amount of enthusiasm from all members was gratifying. Meetings were held for the purpose of improving printing and developing tech- niques, and to discuss such thing� as com- position and subject matter. This year the school dark-room was completed, much to the satisfaction of the club members. The equipment, paid for by the school, includes an enlarger, trays, safe- lights, a tank for film development, and everything else necessary for amateur photography. Accompanied by Mr. Dimmick, the fac- ulty advisor, the club made several field trips to places of local color. Early in the year the waterfront of Manhasset Bay af- forded many picturesque subjects for snap- shots, and later trips were made to the sandbanks and a boat-building establish- ment. heat re Cjrouj} The Theater Group is composed of stu- dents who enjoy going to see Broadway plays, and find that it is convenient to ob- tain tickets through the club and go with a group of fellow students. Members vote each month for the shows they want to see, and attend only a certain number a year. Variety was the spice of the club this year. The choice for the first month was a deeply moving tragedy, “Death of a Sales- man,” starring Thomas Mitchell. Next on the list was “Roland Petit's French Ballet”; third was the comedy, “Mr. Roberts.” Other choices included “The Happy Time” and “Kiss Me, Kate”. The hard-working officers of the club were Joan Lamble, president; Muriel Bode, vice-president; Eleanor Rugen, re- cording secretary; Priscilla Spaulding, cor- responding secretary; and John Mossel, treasurer. Mr. Schoenborn gave his expert opinions as faculty advisor. 45 OJ o mi no With the aid of its faculty advisor, Mr. Ehre; president, Kathe Quarck; vice-presi- dent, Joan Lamble; and secretary-treas- urer, Barbara Blanchard, Red Domino pro- vided work and fun for its members and entertainment for the rest of the student body. Early in November, the annual inter- class play contest was held. The decision was a difficult one to make, but the sopho- mores emerged the victors with their pro- duction of “Make Room for Rodney”. Jay Greene was awarded the cup for the best performance. A high point of the year was the party in January for all the club members. Each came as some character from a play or movie, and the costumes certainly were imaginative. The 1951 Spring Play presented by Red Domino was “What A Life”, a Henry Aid- rich comedy. Excellent casting, talented acting, and polished directing helped to make it the greatest success of the season. • ft 1 ' ; J m) I k ' unior Red 2), o nil no The Junior Red Domino, a branch of the regular Red Domino, was formed this year to give sophomores who are interested in dramatics a chance to display their tal- ents. Since most of these sophomores are not eligible to join the parent club, Junior Red Domino provides an excellent oppor- tunity for these members to take part in the required number of plays and thus earn their membership in Red Domino. In January this promising group of young actors and actresses presented a thrilling drama, The Youngest,” starring Olga Osterholm and Jay Greene. In June they gave another excellent play which was greatly enjoyed by the students and teachers. Joan Lamble, the vice-president of Red Domino, served as the advisor of this club. Its officers were Jay Greene, president; Dorian Davis, secretary. 46 c ommercia (eu The Commercial Club is an honor club for students who maintain a satisfactory average in commercial subjects. The club is intended to acquaint its members with the business world they will soon enter. Each year, to carry out this purpose, the members make trips to vari- ous well known business firms. The club meets once a month and its meetings are always lively and interesting. The Commercial Club sponsored the food baskets which were filled by each home- room at Christmas. The articles collected by the club were distributed to the needy through the Village Welfare. This year the club was efficiently guided by Gloria Garvin as president; Adele Bar- kowski as vice-president; Ann Ruggiero as secretary and Betty Carpenter as treas- urer. The club is under the direction of Mr. Schafer, faculty advisor. JC-U The Link Trainer Club was formed by a group of air-minded students who wished not only to fly an airplane, but also to ex- pand their knowledge of aeronautics. In many classroom discussions, they expound their ideas and theories under the watchful direction Mr. Mcllhenny. Designed to include the same phases and problems that are contained in the In- strument Flight portion of the Standard Training Syllabus, the Trainer teaches the fundamentals of preflight training and the use of the complex instruments and con- trols used in the navigation of an ariplane. Most of the club members have mastered the use of the controls and have learned to read the instruments in the cockpit of the Trainer. At the end of this year the club mem- bers flew another trainer at the Naval Spe- cial Devices Center, where they also ex- perienced the thrills of a pilot in the cockpit of a twin-engine bomber. 47 r Ca 1 Jortufi ia La Tertulia, the Spanish Club which was reorganized this year, has been flour- ishing under the able direction of Miss Stierle, the faculty advisor. The club, com- posed of the members of the third year Spanish class, held its meetings, conducted in Spanish according to parliamentary pro- cedure, once a month during class time. A fine of five cents was imposed on anyone who spoke in English during the period. Each month a new chairman and secre- tary were chosen in order to give all the members a chance to participate. The only permanent officer was Felix Oliva, the treasurer. This year the club enjoyed some very interesting programs. At the December meeting the club saw an entertaining film, secured by Seymour Goldstein, on Mexican farm life. At other meetings such amusing games as “brain fever” were played by the members. 'YVlodern 2)an The Modern Dance Club, one of the most popular clubs for girls in Port High, was most capably run by Betty Nicholson and Marjorie Eckberg, the manager and assistant manager respectively. Meeting on Wednesday afternoons during the winter and spring months, the girls practiced nu- merous basic patterns and routines and created all of their own dances. The Modern Dance recital on May nineteenth was the climax of many weeks of practice. All members took part in the entrance which was an unusual dance adapted to the “Nutcracker Suite”. Then the sophomores danced to the “Russian Sailor’s Dance”, the juniors, to “Dry Bones”, and the seniors, to “The Fable of the Donkey”. There were also many in- dividual numbers, but the big number, in which impressions of New York City were given, was called the “New York Scene”. 48 Port Weekly Staff DL Port WU4 This year the PORT WEEKLY had one of the most successful sea- sons in its history. Nineteen excellent editions were turned out for the stu- dent body, including in January a huge twenty-fifth anniversary issue, which commemorated the founding of the PORT WEEKLY in 1924 and the history of the paper was the front- page story. Tracing the activities of the clubs in school from their organi- zation up to the present time, articles and brief histories of the athletic and music departments were also included in that issue. Several improvements in the paper were introduced; for instance, the banner was changed, and two new features were added. The “Student of the Week column gained wide popu- larity, as did the articles called “Meet the Faculty”. A number of controver- sial subjects lent life to both the edi- Much credit for these improvements should be given to the editor-in-chief, Ferd Duell; the associate editors, Seymour Goldstein, Paddy Fried, and Ester The- lander; and to the very competent staff, assisted by Mr. Farson, the new faculty advisor. Two highlights of the year were the appearance of Fred Duell and Preston Pumphrey on a television show with Jimmy Powers, the famous sports writer and commentator, and the short-story contest, which was a great success. In fact, this year has been one of success in every way for the PORT WEEKLY. Port Weekly Editors Orchestra WLu The music department of the Senior High School had a very interesting and highly profit- able year; much hard work was expended by both the directors and the students. The most important event for the band mem- bers was the bus trip in February to Springfield and Worcester, Massachusetts where they gave a very good concert for the students of Spring- field High School and participated in a clinic discussion at Worcester. On its return, the band, directed by Mr. Christopher, presented the Twentieth Annual Concert with “Universal Judgment”, “Nordic March”, “Roumanian Rhap- sody”, and “Marco Polo” as some of the out- standing numbers. In addition to this concert, the Senior High School Band, collaborating with the Sousa Memorial Band, held a concert in October and gave all the proceeds to the North Shore Hospital Fund. To make this evening perfect, the members had the special privilege of playing under the direction of Edwin Franco Goldman. Our new twirlers, Dolores Mauser, Mary Natale, Adele Barkowski, and Joyce Crooker, did a fine job when the band made its annual appearance in the rain at the Mineola Fair. When the band marched at the home foot- ball games and in the Memorial Day parade, the girls certainly displayed their skill. The offi- cers for this year were Joe Greco, president; Marjorie Eckberg, secretary; Barbara Wheeler, assistant-secretary; and Fred Lewis and Joe Greco, librarians. Both the band and orchestra made a fine showing in the Competition this year and it is hoped that they will continue to do as well in succeeding years. Furthermore, several musi- cians from Port participated in the New York Sectional All-State Orchestra and Band. Special mention should go to Joe Greco, Eleanor Rugen, and Sue Wager, who obtained the first chair positions in the All-State Band. The All-School orchestra presented a very good concert this year with the “Unfinished Symphony” as its main number. Other selec- tions played were “Cuban Holiday” and the “Great Gate of Kiev”. The orchestra also fur- nished excellent music at school plays and at graduation which was greatly appreciated and applauded. In the spring a very enjoyable trip was made up state. Victor White and Sue Wager were the president and secretary respectively. Membership in the choir was increased and, with Barbara Wheeler as accompanist, it had a very successful year. At both the Band and Or- chestra concerts, the choir displayed its excel- lence, singing “Jesus Walks”, “Prayer”, and “Hi Ho Nobody Home”. Joe Greco acted as presi- dent and Joyce Crooker as secretary. 53 Sue Wager Carmvfcl Qvteen Spring Carnival For the second consecutive year our high school held a Spring Carnival to ob- tain money for a scholarship fund. Colorful carnival stands, holding a variety of con- cessions which attracted both young and old, were set up on the football field; mini- ature golf, a merry-go-round, and other amusements were installed near the soft- ball diamond. A great deal of credit for this affair, which is fast becoming one of the outstanding activities of the school and the community, should go to Gerald Volpe. the able chairman who did a won- derful job in making the carnival a gala and profitable event. Tennis Team 55 enniA Our tennis team had a rather disappoint- ing season this year. In their eight game schedule they won one, lost six and got credit for another win when Farmingdale forfeited a game. This year’s sparkplug was Ed Sloane, who was playing first singles. He succeeded in winning all of the five matches he played. Playing second singles was Bill Chapman. Having tough luck in a number of close matches, Bill ended up with a three and four record. Our old standby Eddie Gore played third singles this year. Because of bad breaks he finished the sea- son with a deceiving one win and four losses. Alternating at first doubles were: Skip- py Copp, Rolf Hanson, Roger Irving, Bob Hunter, and Arthur Graseck. Sharing the second doubles positions were: Gardham Comb, Peter Plelps, Dennis Brady, Bill Brown, and John Hobbins. It should be noted that two Junior High boys, Bill Brown and John Hobbins, both won five out of their seven matches and show great promise for next year. They, as well as the other returning members of the team, have been benefited from this season’s experience and, under the able coaching of Mr. Brown, should have a highly successful season next year. Donald O’Brien Aldo Muratore Walter Palawsky Vincent Caruso A1 Bilanski Norman De Lan Victor White Varsity Football Team Mr. Horton, Coach Costello Junior Varsity Football Team With its 13-12 triumph over Glen Cove, the Port High football team closed out its 1950 season with a fine record of five wins and two losses. Led by co-captains Aldo Muratore and Bart Cosolito and backfield star Charlie Zahn, the team subdued a stubborn Garden City team 27 to 6. Charlie Zahn drove 85 yards in the first period to open Port’s touchdown parade. In the second period he passed to Aldo Muratore for the second touchdown. Bart Cosolito passed to Mike Zirpolo and Carl Booker for tallies in the third and fourth periods respectively. Muratore and Zirpolo shared the honors in scoring the three {joints after touchdown. The following weekend Port won one of the most thrilling games played on Long Island this year, when it outpointed Manhasset 21 to 20. Charlie Zahn scored in the first quarter, and Port led 7 to 0 at the end of the half. Manhasset tied the score, but Port went ahead when Zahn passed to Zirpolo and made the score 14 to 7. Manhasset soon evened the score and went ahead 20 to 14. In the last two minutes of play, Cosolito ran around end to score and tie the game. Muratore kicked his third straight extra point, to win the game. The next Saturday the undefeated Port team met an undefeated and untied Roslyn eleven. Rain came down in torrents during the entire game, but Charlie Zahn intercepted a Roslyn pass and ran for the lone score of the game. Roslyn threatened but failed to score, and the game ended 6 to 0. Riding high after a three game winning streak, Port met undefeated and untied Westbury. Westbury was a superior team, but Port kept them from scor- ing throughout the first half. A series of breaks gave Westbury two touchdowns. Then a pair of long passes from Cosolito to Otis set up the lone touchdown by Cosolito. The game ended 12 to 7. On Election Day, the team met a spirited Great Neck eleven and was humbled 12 to 6. Port’s winning spirit was the chief factor in the victory over Glen Cove. Touchdowns by Gerry Volpe and “Josh” Dumbkowski equalized Glen Cove’s power, and Aldo Muratore's magic toe gave Port the winning point. Credit should be given to Vic White, Jim Caruso, Norm DeLan, Walt Palaski and Mike Zirpolo for their superior line play. A1 Bilanski was named as guard on the first string All-Nassau team. Year after year, players are praised for their superior ball handling and cool- headedness, but behind them is the coach who does everything in his power to mold a group of enthusiastic boys into a well-oiled football machine. Over the years. Coach Leo Costello has given his all to accomplish this goal, and in so doing has won the respect and admiration of his teams, his school, and his town — Thanks Coach! Donald O’Brien Mike Zirpolo t Charlie Zahn Bart Cosolito The Girls Athletic Association was begun in 1946 when Miss Foehrenbach came to senior high. With the G. A. A. came Sport’s Night and the Sports Banquet, the two high spots in girls’ athletics. The purpose of the girls’ athletic program is to develop individual initiative and qualities of leadership in each girl. This year the G. A. A. was most capably run by Marjory Peterson, president, Carole Dunnells, vice-president, and a host of fine managers—Nancy McDonough, hockey; Phyllis Lanes, riding; Karin Sandblom, tumbling and cheering; Betty Nicholson, modern dancing; Nancy Crowl, volleyball; Anna May Hirsch, basketball; Astrid Quarck, tennis; Lenore Jacoby, archery; and Carol Carpenter, softball. The manager’s job is to assume the responsi- bility for the efficient organization of her club. She must take charge of the equipment, keep the intramural program running smoothly, as- sist Miss Foehrenbach in picking the teams, and arrange with other schools for competitive games. Clubs such as Modern Dancing, Riding, and Tumbling, give demonstrations, for which the managers are also responsible. The Council wishes to thank all the students for their fine cooperation and hopes that next year’s Council will have an equally successful year. Carol Needham Girl� Athletic Council Cji rl porti Each year more and more girls become interested in sports. This year was certainly no exception, as more girls than ever before participated in inter-mural and inter-school sports. Hockey got off to a fine start with both teams mostly in the winning margin for the entire season. Carole Dunnells did a terrific job as our rough and ready center half-back, while Pat Cooper held the honor of being the only Sophomore one the varsity. Riding climaxed its successful season with a horse show in which Pam Mori competed with Claire Marshall for top honors. In volleyball three excellent class teams were chosen in addition to an All-Star team which played an exciting and thrilling game against the boys for an assembly program. However, our own blue and white game was, without a doubt, the best game of all. The basketball teams, which were chosen on the basis of three things—interest, willingness to work, and ability—began the season with victories for the varsity over Oyster Bay and Hicksville. In order to do this, the guards used an extremely tight zone, while the forwards performed many new plays with consumate skill. The Modern Dancers gave a recital in the spring in which they presented their original interpretations of “Fifi” and the “Nutcracker Suite” and a number of excellent solos. The spring sports—tennis, softball, and archery—all re- ceived a tremendous turnout. Tennis fans will long remember the Quarcks, Astrid and Rathe, for their outstanding perform- ances on the courts: softball fans, searching the woods for Anna Mae Hirsch’s home runs; and archery fans, the “William Tell” of Port High for three successive years, Muriel Bode. The two major events of the year were Sports Night, the annual battle between the blues and whites, and the Sports Banquet. This year the Blues were ably led at Sports Night by Carole Needham and Barbara Sozzi in Toyland. while the Whites found their efficient leadership in Sue Wager and Marjorie Eckberg in King Arthur’s Court. At the Sports Ban- quet Carole Dunnells, Anna Mae Hirsch, Jacqueline Meletzko. Betty Nicholson, and Marjory Peterson were acclaimed “Athletes of the Year.” £a,LlUt Port opened its basketball season at home against a well-oiled Hicksville five and turned in a rather sloppy loss. The boys bounced right back, however, and took in the remaining three non-league games against Roslyn, Sea Cliff, and Farmingdale. The blue wave continued to roll, as the league schedule opened, when it trounced Great Neck 41 to 31. The following week, the spirited Port team battled with Mineola. For the whole first half the game was close, but Port broke loose in the second half and went on to win, 55 to 31. The third league game against Manhasset fol- lowed the same pattern as the first two. Port spurted in the final quarter and subdued the Indians, 55 to 40. Port then shifted its aggregation to Glen Cove’s court and our varsity added an additional tally to its winning column. They won 56 to 44. Returning to their home court, the team seemed to have lost none of its edge as it beat the Gar- den City five 44 to 33. Riding high, Port was doomed to submission. It took a greatly im- proved Mineola to do it by a score of 49 to 44 Port bounced back and took on Manhasset for the second time. They emerged victorious again by the score of 66 to 57. The blue and white then repeated its previous wins over Glen Cove and Garden City when Port beat them 67 to 48 and 43 to 39 respectively. As a result of the spectacular 49 to 37 win over Great Neck, the Port five became undis- puted Western Division Champions. They were then slated to play the winner of the Hicksville- Oyster Bay duel, which Oyster Bay won, The Big Blue lost to the sparkling offensive and de- fensive play of the Baymen, 68 to 37. Regard- less of the defeat, Port again proved its superior- ity over the other members of its league. The boys should be commended for their consistently improving brand of ball playing throughout the year. Coach Costello should also be commended for the way he whipped the team into its championship form. By virtue of its suc- cess last year, Coach’s two platoon system was used again this year, and with even greater suc- cess. The team of Smith, White, McNamara, Cutler, and Dumpson alternated with combina- tions of Musselwhite, Otis, Micklin, Wing, Adamie, Laucella, Echardt, Jude, and Domb- kowski. Because of the fact that a number of juniors played on the varsity team this year, next year’s team should be a good one, especially since this year’s J.V. won 12 out of 14 games.
