They continued their participation in sports, dramatics, government, and publications. They placed high in the G.O. with Carol and Chris; in football with Gibbons, Kezar, Szabo, Grace, Jagers, and Davis; in hockey with Bendicks, the Ingleys, Marbut, McGregor, Riley, Rohn, and Speck; in basketball with Gibbons, Gale, Certain, and Kirkman; in dramatics with Toni, Cinnie, Phyliss, Sue and Sid; in music with Harding, Duncun, Mitchell, and Spence; and in major- etting with Boehme, Giagu, and Schlingheyde. Charlie, Noel, Marg- aret and Howie ran the class affairs, including the ever-popular junior prom. The juniors ranked high in everything. They showed that they had the talent, brains, and ability to rate tops as a senior class next year. class officers Howie Gibbons ________________________president Noel Certain ____________________vice-president Margaret Mamet...................... secretary Charlie Kezar ________________________treasurer Mr. Kezar............................—advisor Homeroom 8 Miss Buckley Homeroom 11 Miss Ducas Homeroom 209 Mr. Kezar Homeroom 104 Mr. Schafer Homeroom 107 Miss Duffy 'r-’i 1; Homeroom 201 Mrs. Green, Mrs Ozaroff Homeroom 202 Mrs. Graham Homeroom 212 Mr. Hellems, Mr. Neff You'll got your money's worth. class officers Bill Dalsimer — Jane Fitzpatrick Janet Stewart ....

Interest in activities and the beginning of a three-year climb to the limelight followed. The sophs joined the Student Council and made their debut in sports. Officers — Bill, Jane, Janet, and Joe, ran all the soph activities, including a successful (both financially and socially) dance. They formed the junior clubs Red Domino and Celerity, parti- cipated in Clio, the stage crew, lighting, and others. The sophomore play, Antic Spring, starred Carol and Bill D., with a supporting cast of Bill, Marcia, Linda, and Steve. Lessons were well learned, and the sophs began to appear everywhere and anywhere. They completed the first year of their history with the feeling that they could look back upon their 1956 record with pride.

Pilot manager, Nancy Knobloch, campaigned for Seamus McGrady, Ray Saulter, Carol Sleght, and Chris Gale, while Marion Sadler electioneered for the Buzzards, Ed McGuire, Anne Loveland, Rosamond Blakeslee, and Noel Certain. Skits by each of the parties (reminiscent of Ed Murrow and Ed Sullivan) preceded the presidents' speeches. Movies in assembly . . . better dances . . . more discounts ... a coffee break!

It was a well-kept promise as improvements for Port High's students quickly became a reality. The Buddy System, movies, recreation dances, a juke box, milk machine, and a snack bar appeared during the year. Clubs and activities were reorganized under a chartering program and inter-club council. Various committees executed the council's aims. Acting as the president's cabinet was the Steering Committee. Jerry Conway headed all recreational activities, while Judy Barsky took over Building and Ground affairs. Ed Hoffman's Service and Spirit Committee and Ed Mc- Guire's Assembly Committee also assisted. Numerous achievements indicated success for the Pilot Party. Who� '� � o funny — carnival? junior prom February through June, five months of preparation pro- duced the results of a cafeteria converted into a paradise and an outstanding profit to pad the class of '56's treasury. Palm trees, mysterious blue lights, silver fish, and Roy Dar- nell's music set the scene for The Sand and the Sea. Sue Dorn and Frank Cifarelli reigned as the king and queen at this big all-school event of last year. Dance preparations were drawn up by Sirje Helder, Bunnie Dervin, Mary Wil- liams, Sue Gaita, and Mike Foster, along with numerous other members of the senior class. OuMn Su« and King Frank Queen Maureen and King Tony senior ball Dancing, the rush of the Christmas season, and the Riviera were all part of the Snow Ball, the class of '56's senior prom. Tony Indence and his date, Maureen Conde reigned as king and queen at this dance which ushered in the welcomed Yuletide holi- days. Advanced preparations for the first of the senior activities of their last year were arranged by the senior advisory board. Tony Indence presided over all activities in the capacity of chairman. spring carnival Clowns, ponies, balloons, booths, noise, color, dust, and many, many weeks of hard diligent work tint our memories of last year's Spring Carnival. The class of 1956 will receive the profits from the 1955 carnival in the form of $2,400 worth of scholarships. With last year's cornival as a record-breaking precedent, Jerry Conway, 1956 carnival chairman, started this year's preparations early. In February he and Mr. Scott had already worked out detailed plans for the big events. At the same time Ed McGuire, dynamic publicity chairman, steered his committee toward success in 1956 and the best carnival yet. business staff Business Manager_______________________ Bruce Gourlay Assistant Business Manager_________________________Gene Griffin Sales Manager........................Judy W.

One week later, said assignments had miraculously ma- terialized into our own school newspaper, the prod- uct of a Monday night session of confusion, chaos and correction in room 7. Twenty-eight successful issues were published by editor-in-chief Anne Loveland and assistant editor Jean Killam. Financial aspects of publication were efficiently managed by business and advertising managers, Judy W. Robinson and Carol Young. High- lighting the year were the second annual Mr. Touch- down dance, the special issue commemorating the Editor at work? J. Killam, assistant «ditor A. Loveland, editor-in-chief port weekl paper's thirtieth anniversary, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference, and the graduation issue.

Contributing to the suc- cess of this year's volumes were Bunnie Dervin, news editor; Karla Klumpp and Seamus McGrady, sport's writers; Ed McGuire, columnist; and Bruce Taylor, photographer.

The Port chap- ter enthusiastically exercised its unique privilege of meeting at night. These informal gatherings took place at the homes of the members. Amid jokes and cokes such vital topics as where to go if and when a skip day was obtained were discussed. Circle, however, made a significant contribution to the school by maintaining the Circle Desk in the lobby where members continuously acted as guides and greeters to visitors. Nine people were selected on the basis of their college board scores to demonstrate their scholastic prow- ess on the NHS Scholarship Test. Mr. Kezar served as the spirited faculty advisor. What about our skip day? 60 History repeats itself, and the Clio studied this repeti- tion through various lectures and programs. Sue Dorn led the society through student-planned meetings, covering problems from the Far East to our hometown. The peak of the year's events was the Clio assembly at which Mrs. Bonily Knongmen, the alternate representative to the Indian delegation of the U.N., spoke. Clio also sent its members to the lectures given by Mrs. Avery in Manhasset. Clio membership reached an all-time high of one hundred and three members in mid-February when initiations were held. Initiat � on th 61 Starting the ball rolling, the Fratry boys sold re- freshments at the football games as their first service to the school. Later, the boys donated $50 to the Community Chest and presented a Christmas dinner and gifts to an adopted family during the holidays. The annual Fratry talent show proved another suc- cessful venture. In addition, Fratry presented the Fratry Cup for the best performance in the inter- class plays. The boys sponsored their annual dance in the spring and awarded the Sportsmanship Trophy to the senior boy who had displayed the highest degree of sportsmanship. 62 Susie Sophomore didn't remain lost and confused for too long when this academic year opened, thanks to Celerity. This girl's service club began its busy year by holding an acquaintanceship tea for new students. At Yuletide the girls made baskets for the Community Santa Claus. Amid the rush of February activities the Celerity girls prepared for their annual hop, called George Washington Danced Here.

Me — usher’ junior celerity Sophs didn't get completely left out of things this post year, for two school organizations were com- pletely theirs. Julior Celerity, the first of the two, is the sophomore girl's service organization. In mid- January all sophonore girls with a 2.0 average and participation in two activities were admitted. Soon after ad missions were completed, the newly formed organiza’ion elected its officers. Ann Wood became president and he|f assisting officers were: vice-presi- dent, Debbie Brov. n; secretary, Cathy Gyllensward; and treasurer, Tate Ann Hunter. In a completely different field, but still a sopho- more club, the Junior Red Domino was advised by Judy Tangerman of Red Domino. Members assisted the senior Domino activities by selling tickets, helping with publicity, actually participating in plays, and helping backstage. Running all these activities were the officers: president, Carol Wallace; vice-president, Lynda Marvin; and secretary-treasurer, Marianne Brindley. left to right: odvitor, Mr. Ehro; socrotory-trooturor, P.

First the students vied for honors in the Inter-class Plays. This year's surprise: the juniors won with Sorry Wrong Number. Red Domino's next achievement, Our Town, a production marked by its skillful staging and perfection of acting, was highlighted by the talent of Toni Domenech. Finally the Domino prepared Time Out For Ginger as the spring play. Ending a year of dramatic success were the small one-act plays, the presentation of a musical in conjunction with the Play Troupe, and the theater visits to New York productions. 65 p.a., lighting This is your student announcer, was heard as another edition of the P.A. news of the day was broad- cast throughout the school. A group of boys mastered this essential broadcasting operation and served our school at least once a day. Another of Port's very essential organizations was the lighting crew. These boys were partly responsible for every dance, play, and assem- bly that was presented in Port this year. Under the direction of Bob Slusser, they earned considerable praise for their skillful work. Hous lights downl projection club Those class movies or that assem- bly show didn't just fly in and be- come a reality. They were partly organized by the Projection Club, one of Port's most active service clubs. The chief qualifications for membership in this organization were knowledge of the functions and operation of a projector as proved through tests. Many of these boys gave up their study halls and shop periods to run the projector in various classes throughout the school. Bob Slusser managed the general operations of this club. 66 stage crew Paint, brushes, hammers, and boards were all props handled by the stage crew, the unseen heroes who pulled the curtains during as- semblies, lugged risers back and forth, and did all the basic work so that the show could go on. The Red Domino troupe depended largely upon these boys for sets and scenery. While working in this organization the boys gained ex- perience in all phases of back- stage work and were one step ahead for the possibilities of a pro- fession in stage production. It thick I Fan maill class plays Sorry Wrong Number, echoed through the auditorium as the news was broadcast — the juniors, di- rected by Helen Nolan, were vic- torious. For her portrayal of an in- valid woman, Toni Domenech was awarded the Fratry Cup as the out- standing actress. Sue Heller and Sid Georgiou took the other awards in this play. Winning performances in Sue Humphrey's sophomore play, Antic Spring, were given by Bill Dalsimer and Carol Wallace. Roch- elle Tockman and Paul Boukouris took awards in the senior play, Tiger Lily, directed by Bunnie Dervin. 67 debate Ed McGuire and the other members of the Debate Club spent the year speaking the speech and perfecting their cases for logical sequence. The year's topic for discussion was Resolved: That Govern- ment Should Aid Higher Education. John Richardson and Toni Domen- ech as the other officers assisted Ed in running this club of oratorical practices. retort Knock, knock listen to the retort, is a famous initiation cry. Test tubes, flasks and Bunsen burners used in the unusual experiments set the stage for the meetings of PDSHS's honorary science club at which Ed Hoffman presided.

Lights! Camera! Action! was the cry heard when the Focus visited a photography school in New York City. The Focus members used their laboratory, and developed their photographic skills through practice and discussion. The officers, John Carlson, and James Gaita, and the advisor Mr. Dimmick also helped the yearbook in its activities. f. t. a. officers: left to right: Carol Nesbitt, presi- dent; Jerry Conway, vice-president; Mari- anne Young, secretary; Mrs. Corson, ad- visor.

F.T.A.'s activities for this year were joint meetings with chapters from neigh- boring schools, observation trips to elementary schools, and attend- ance at a conference at Queens College. stamp club stamp club Driven by curiosity, lure of discovery, and appreciation of the fine craftsmanship in stamps these boys collected stamps and searched the albums in order to identify rare issues. They also visited the Stamp Exhibition in New York City and entered the 5th International Philatelic Exhibition. Officers of this year's club were Tod Anuskewicz, Al Lingelbach and Bob Cosidine. T.

Besides assisting Mrs. Begenau with the running of the library, the club discussed the many problems connected with the library work and suggested methods of improving the library system. 70 link trainer link trainer Away, away, into the wild blue yonder, the link trainers might go, but for the last year they were grounded. Link trainer members mas- tered the basic maneuvers as preparation for actual flight. In these make believe flying ses- sions the link trainers learned the straight and level flight, the climb, the glide, and the turns.

Plaudits for this hard-earned accomplishment in sheer brain power. 71 band Early fall mornings found the members of the band marching around campus drive reviewing their routines in preparation for half-time shows presented at football games. The band also partic- ipated in concerts at Syosset and Jones Beach and marched in the Memorial Day and the Arnold Constable Christmas parades. The East Meadow competition also received Port's musical attention. The highlight of the season was the Twenty Fifth Annual Band Concert for which an original march, Port 25, was written.

Saturday rehearsals proved to be worth the effort when the news was disclosed that the Port orchestra was ranked as one of the three best in the state. Its many activities included playing during the intermission at plays and the string section visit to Albany to play for the State Music Teachers' Association. The annual concert featured John Harding, who played a trumpet solo with string accompaniment. Adding to fourth period was the sound of choir with its seventy-five members vocal- izing in the auditorium. The chorus rehearsed for the performances it gave at the Band Concert in February and the Baccalaureate Service.

Fewer than six boys on the squad had seen action be- fore, and Garden City showed no mercy, winning on its home field, 24-6. Port learned a lesson from that game. Upon meeting Manhasset the following Sat- urday, Port showed a tighter defense and played that powerhouse to a scoreless tie. Port Washington spectators turned out en masse on a sunny fall day to watch their team win its first game against Roslyn, 14-6. When it seemed that the Costellomen were finally beginning to roll, they were handed an unexpected defeat by Westbury. Undoubtedly the high spot of the season was the Great Neck game. Port was picked to lose, 14-6. The change from the team a week before to the one that massacred mighty Great Neck 31-0 was practically un- believable. Frank Cifarelli started the rally with two touchdown runs in the first half. Ray Saulter climaxed a fifty-yard march with a thirty- five-yard sprint and a four-yard buck to pay dirt. Two long passes thrown by quar- terbacks Howie Gibbons and Roddy Hull to ends Allen Pollock and Howie Davis respec- tively completed the scoring for the after- noon. The varsity had no trouble subduing Farmingdale 18-7; but traveling to Glen Cove for the last game. Port had difficulty stopping the AAA squad's attack. The final gun found Glen Cove ahead, 33-14. junior varsity football Besides giving underclassmen a chance to play football on an organized team, it is the purpose of the J.V. football squad to train boys for the varsity. Coach Horton commented that the players this year showed a commendable spirit — practically all of them showed up at every practice. During the six game season (three wins, two losses and one tie) 32 men earned their letters.

The Blue and White won three out of four non-league contests, losing only to Hicksville while taking Sea Cliff, Roslyn, and Farming- dale in overtime, 46-41. There were high hopes that the team which won the freshman championship might repeat that performance in its senior year. The first league game brought a rude awakening — Great Neck led the entire game and won, 51-41. Port beat Manhasset, 64-58, but successive defeats to Mineola, Glen Cove, Garden City, Manhasset, Mineola again, Glen Cove and Garden City were interrupted only by a victory over last-place Carle Place. The last game against Carle Place was marked by the Port total of 100 points — more than any other team scored in the division. I . V s k e t b a 11 left to right: first row: J. Toto, P. Goffney F.

Meadows, manager. junior varsity basketball Frank When asked how his team fared this season. Coach Horton dwsWered half-jokingly, Average, The Blue and White's J.V. record of thirteen wins and two losses is anything but ordinary. However, nine previous squads under Mr. Horton have lost only 18 games, or an average of two a season. Starting out with Hicksville, the J.V. defeated four teams without a hitch, but superior foul shooting determined that contest which the Orange and Blue took 62-47. Three more wins and then a loss to Garden City completed the first half of the season. Carle Place proved to be no obstacle; Manhasset, Mineola, and Glen Cove likewise fell. The last two games scheduled were against the two teams that had beaten them. Garden City and Great Neck. The former lost 64-40 and the final game saw Port come from behind at the half 34-26 to nip Great Neck 59-56 and cop first place by two and one-half games. Chris Eddie tennis Weekly practices at Sam Shore's Courts set the pace for this year's tennis activities. A team which was improved over the previous year's resulted from these diligent efforts. The Port lettermen finished with a 7-7 record compared to 6-8 the year before. The singles players were all seniors, however, the un- derclassmen were also well rep- resented on the team. An average season didn't dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of the boys. The four sophomore lettermen made the prospects for the future look even brighter. tennis lettermen J. Gantly E. Hoffman A. Krasts J. Richardson B. Slusser Don't get angry! soccer The record of this season's Port High soccer varsity, two wins and 11 losses, is not too impressive. However, Coach Goodwin ex- plained that because this was the first year of the sport in the school, too much could not be expected. In his opinion this was a good season. Garden City won its first game 1-0, but as it placed second in the league. Port's defense proved to be strong. The Blue and White also scored two of the four goals against first place Sea Cliff. baseball Spring of 1956 saw varsity base- ball coach Rogo forced to remake an entire team from the previous one which won the western division championship. Most of the team's hitting power, plus the invaluable pitching of Paul Nuzzolese and Joe Rezek, left with last year's seniors. Bad weather forced the Port High nine to keep inside for the early part of March, but other teams were equally handicapped for the first non-league game, March 27. track Last year's track team drew in- dividual honors. Jay Purdy made the Long Island finals, and he sparked the half-mile relay team to a new Port record, along with a second in the New York State meet. For the 1956 season, three members of the relay team — Cer- tain, Saulter, and Slusser — were back with Norman Taylor filling the vacancy. These boys were the backbone of the track squad this year, each a specialist in several events. Other outstanding returnees were Chester Curry, and Eddie Foss in the distance class. golf Although patches of snow still covered the North Hempstead Country Club course on the first day of spring practice, Coach Seeber could even then foresee the successful season that started two week later against Oyster Bay. Five of last year's six-man squad were seniors but returning Tom Hehn and seniors, Tom Wing, John Osterholm and John Gantly, helped by the promising sophomores and juniors, proved more than capable of carrying on. bowling Port High's varsity bowling sea- son started mostly with boys who had never before played on an organized squad. The first three games were taken by the opposi- tion. Even with that little experience under their belts. Coach Seeber's team won eight of the remaining nine matches, ending up in fifth place. officers: loft fo right: $. Dorn, vice- president; M. Williams, secretary; D.

Manager, Bobby John- son, and co-manager, Diane Rohn, lead the teams to an excellent rec- ord of only one defeat. In addition to the tricky maneuvers and foot action the team could also boast of one player in particular who earned extra praise — Sue Dorn, who represented Port at the Long Island All State Hockey Match for this year. hockey M.

Roome junior varsity Favored with a lesser fame than varsity hockey but an equal amount of enthusiasm and vigor, the junior varsity hockey team practiced for its inter-school games during the fall months. Mary Williams, as cap- tain, coordinated the experienced players with the novices and pro- duced a record of no defeats to stand as a goal for future teams. Tuesdays and Thursdays found the girls out on the hockey field striving for perfection which would closely match that of the varsity squad. In addition, the j.v. spent considerable time polishing off tricky plays and maneuvers. 88 varsity Although the Varsity record didn't turn out too well, the girls captained by Mary Williams kept that old fighting spirit all through the season. They proved to be a last quarter team as shown in the Hiqksville game. There Port sprang into a fiery comeback mak- ing fifteen points in the fourth quar- ter, but time ran out before they could recover. In the West Hemp- stead game Sue Dorn made a foul shot in the last second of play giving Port a one-point victory. Win or lose, everyone worked hard and had a good time. basketbal B. Buckowski S.

Captained by Diane Rohn, the girls showed us that they were really out to win. Made up mainly of juniors and sophomores, the team worked well together and im- proved greatly as the season prog- ressed, giving promise to another victorious season during the coming year. The girls made the most of practices, working with consistently high morale toward more advanced techniques and smooth plays. With four sophs sparking things it looks as if Port's future will be bright. 89 riding Cold weather, a few minor spills, and a number of aches and pains didn't hinder the gallops, canters, and trots of the Riding Club. Eileen Mahoney, manager, arranged the breakfast ride, afternoon sessions and show. Beginners received basic instruction, while the more ad- vanced girls progressed with intri- cate routines. At the Rice Farm Show the winners were: advanced: Eileen Mahoney, Kathy Gyllens- ward, Lynda Eckardt; intermediate III: Mary Ann Muldoon, Kathy Tur- quand, Judy Perkins; intermediate I: Carol DeMeo, Joan Allen, Kay Marbut; beginners: Jane Johnston, Kathy Mussen, and Darilyn Zeig. Is this basketball? Sound off, 1-21 volleyball Five second were left. Then the whistle blew, there was a mad rush, and another game was wrapped up. The weekly volleyball practices were hectic but efficient, under the management of Margaret Mamet and Sue Hurd. Double taps, spikes, and serves, were perfected for the Blue and White tournament and the intermural games with Hicksville. The Whites were victorious after a spirited contest in which skill was the deciding factor. The skilled players for these teams were chosen through intramural games. oftball Many Port girls took to swinging bats around April making this one of the most popular spring sports. This year Yvonne Rob managed the teaching of softball techniques and the making up of the intramural teams. The most capable girls were chosen for the varsity which played other Long Island teams. Muddy fields and spring showers were a few of the hazards the girls successfully overcame. tennis Port's racket squad, the girls who partici- pated in the three sports, tennis, badminton, and ping pong, combined under the leader- ship of Vija Vuskalns. As always the girls practiced their skillful routines in competitive tennis games before the final team was chosen. In the ping pong and badminton fields elimination contests were held. archery Arrows went flying on to the upper field this spring as the arch- ery club members competed for bull's eyes. Those girls who gained the highest scores during club ses- sions made the team. A highlight of the active season was Pori's participation in the Hempstead Lake Park Meet. At this and other tournaments the girls made a fine showing. Managing this sport for the year's activities was Sheila Kane. left to right: Diana Kammerlohr, Sue Dorn, Karla Klumpp, Judy P. Robinson, Pris Ketz. modern dance and tumbling little mermaids, dedications, frontovers, head stands, all mixed with some bruises, colored an active year of participation in both tumbling and modern dance. These two sports were year-long activities. Modern dance, under the direction of Bonnie Besold and Nancy Roome, started off in the fall with practice for an assembly program, presented many times throughout the year at neighboring schools. The honor group presented the Dedication Dance to the English Teacher's Conference in the city. Climaxing an active season was the annual recital in the spring. At the same time the tumbling club, under the management of Karla Klumpp, was per- fecting routines during fourth periods and after school. The advanced players tried out for the Blue and White teams, that performed during Sport's Night. Meanwhile, the beginners worked on basic routines in an effort to make the advanced group where more complex tricks were accomplished. left to right: Bonnie Besold, Catherine Cosolito, Nancy Roome, Marilyn Smith, Judy P.
