This is not quite true when applied to the 1941 Totem. It is the end-there will be other Totems, but no more written by the present Iunior Class. The book is a written record of happy occasions and past experiences. They will long be cherished in our memories and preserved through these pages. I congratulate the Iunior Class for their work in producing this excel- lent volume. 1 Q ,X , 15.2 '15 ,Q Qi 2 M- ,, , . Fil -L..

When school opened again the following September the veterans of that first year were greeted with the sight of a comely young Latin teacher, just out of college. Her only previous experience was a year of teaching in a small upstate rural school. Since then, the blonde locks, pleasant disposition and teach- ing mannerisms of Mrs. Elizabeth Sayre have become a Se- wanhaka institution. A large number of past graduates still remember her, as will the sixty or seventy 1941 alumni who have acquired a smattering of 'Virgil, Caesar, Cicero and the other historical and philosophical knowledge that goes with Mrs. Sayre's Latin classes. Mrs. Sayre was born in Macedon, a small town on the out- skirts of Rochester. She passed her childhood there and en- tered a local high school, graduating in three years at the age of 15. Sewanhaka's Latin teacher then entered the Uni- versity of Rochester which she completed in par. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree and was qualified to teach Latin, History, and French. Although she has taught both French and Latin, Mrs. Sayre has not yet lectured on History. After a brief fling at rural education Mrs. Sayre came to Sewanhaka in 1931. In that year she became adviser to the newly organized Latin Club. For a while she was adviser to the Freshman Class. Continuing her own education she earned a Master of Arts degree at Columbia University in 1934. Mrs. Sayre's off hour time is spent in taking care of a future Sewanhakan. Her twelve year old son will soon enter high school. During the summer vacations the Sewanhaka Latin Teacher turns to travel and has covered most of the United States and Canada during the past few years. In these preceding lines we have attempted to tell something about Mrs. Sayre herself. What we can never fully describe is the contribution she has made to Sewanhaka High School and to her students, who have gained far more from associa- tion with her than merely an understanding of Latin. ai 1 ELIZABETH SAYRE ADMI ISTRATIU Sewanhalca is loundecl upon a theme Call it a basic principle or a sound philosophy, Whichever it is, its potency is only surpassed by ac- complishment lor the administration h aded b Dr, Stanforth Princi al 9 Y f P f Mr. Wright, Assistant Principal, Mrs. Utter, Dean of Girls, and Mr, Coop- er, Dean of Boys has achieved a standard ol instruction lor which the graduates are duly grateful.

President BUAHU UF EUUEATIU Although the tasks of organizing an A-l defense course in Sewanhalca and of supervising the con- struction of the new vocational building presented some problems, the greatest worry of the Board of Education was the rapidly growing community and the resultant increasing number of students to be handled. The Board continued its work with the Adult Education department and the Citizens' Advisory Committees. Mr. Harry Schroeder of District 5 became president after the resignation of Mr. Ered Schaefer. Mr. H. Erank Carey of District l7 was a new addition to the Board as was Mr. George Wahl of District l6. Others who have continued from past years were William L. McQueen, District 16, Dr. George E. Davis, District 22, Mr. Edward M. Thomas, District 22, Mr. Iohn O'Neill, District l7, Mr. Charles Donahue, Dis- trict 5, Mr. Alfred Kiefer, treasurer, Mr. I. Edwin Rus- sell, district clerk, Dr. Harry Rosenberg, school physi- cian. Mr. Marcus G. Christ is the attorney, Dr. Charles McNeely the dental supervisor, and Mr. Charles H. Weckerle the consulting engineer. Top, first column: George E. Davis, William L. Mc- Queen, George Wahl, Charles Donahue, Alfred Kiefer. Top, second column: Frank Carey, Iohn O'Neill, Ed- ward M.

'IQN Z':IP ILI RY UHGANIZATIU The numerous citizens' advisory committees associated with Sewanhaka successfully completed their individual purposes in furthering the community educational interests because of their sincere public spirited members. This year the Forum presented three speakers, Rear Admiral Yates-Stirling, I-I, R. Knickerbocker and Guy Inman, who in the course of their comments on world conditions spoke of the Orient, Europe and South America. Mr. Myron Doucette was chairman of the Advisory Board for National Defense which directed the Sewanhaka vocational emergency training program started last Iuly. In April 370 trainees who had successfully completed the training had been placed in employment in the aircraft industry. By next Iuly it is expected that 1000 men will have been trained and employed. The completion of the new vocational building, which was con- structed because of the necessity for expansion, resulted in Sewanhaka being named as the machine tool training center for Long Island.

Z- 'kv ai' it ST DE T5 itxxtix 4 5 Z This then, was Sewanhaka, That first day of school last September you were a little afraid and a little anxious but quite happy, for this was high school and a new life. You were just one of 750 bewildered youths milling about and making the usual mistakes in new sur- roundings. But it didn't take long for you to get into the swing of school life and learn how to divide twenty-four hours among school, homework, extra-curricular and other activities. ln October you chose officers and selected Harry Cunningham as your president, lohn Murphy, vice-president, lean Kiess, secretary and Edward Rock, treasurer. By this time you were a dyed in the wool Sewanhakan and Saturday would find you lending your voice to those of seniors and others cheering on the football team. Near the end of October you were hard at work making plans for the Frosh Halloween Party, the first social activity of the Class of l94fl. This was the first time in Sewanhaka that you had that pleasant feeling that comes with being partially responsible for the success of some activity for the party was that. The weeks fell away with startling rapidity and before you knew it lune had rolled around and you were looking forward to being a sophomore and perhaps looking back at an active year. There was the Freshman Who's Who, edited by Walter Distler and containing , xt, THE FRESHMEN -P. N 4+ ln,-,-,f your picturo tilonfx witli tliofu: of otlior prom- iuont lrozzlinion.

Ji , When you returned in September you were a Sophomore, established in the Sewanhalia system, no lonaer afraid, no longer anxious. You began to take it easy and realized that studies were not everythina. You lounged on the campus and in the auditorium with the air of a pro and beaan to enter into the social whirl. You were surprised at the childishness of the frosh and you sometimes slept in class. When the time came to choose class officers you balloted Marilyn Fuss to the presidency of the Class of l9,l3, Supportina votes went to Edward lliahtower as secretary, Harold Watts as viceepresident and Theclcla Adams as treasurer. You were a trifle bored in some class as- semblies but there were some that still stick in your mind like the time Captain Tim Healy spoke, or the concert by the Swing Band. This was the year you attended your first danceg youll probably never foraet that Soph Hop in April as lena as you live, You were constantly on the run dur-ina the school elec tions and when your party won you were firmly convinced of the value of school politics. Then the sophomore year was over and you were an upper clafzsmau, reddy for the second half of hiah school. X THE IUNIORS lzytl1,LI A, f . .., l!lIl4,,, !, l 5 .MK ,B GEOR Q . E BALL I e N Now you were a junior. You had found your place in extraecurricular activities and you began to collect the veneer of brass that will be fully developed in your senior year. You noticed how classes were getting smaller and you got your first cut slip. You suddenly be- gan to realize what an important part girls play in modern-day-life and you rarely ever missed a play or dance. You still recall the wild celebration in the locker room after the football team thrashed Hempstead last Fall. You were only a substi- tute but you played long enough to be pre- sented with a letter at the Dads Club banquet at the season's end. When the ballots for class officers were counted it was found that George Ballard was the new president. His fellow winners were Bessie Burden, vice-president, Bob Distler, treasurer, and Carol Bright, secretary. That No- vember Warren Nicholl was chosen to edit the Totem and the juniors began work on their annual contribution to the school. You'll never forget the junior rings. You were on the ring committee and held out for one design while the rest of the Committee wanted another. You gave in and wouldn't trade your ring now for any other. ARD , L s RICH T 1 808 DISTLER This was the year that the class council really came across with some exceptional as- semblies, especially the concert by the Buck- nell Glee Club last February that set you hum- ming Casey Iones and Frankie and Iohnny for days afterwards. You certainly worked hard on the Iunior Valentine Dance in February but you were well repaid by the most successful tea dance of the year. A little later you received one of the biggest thrills of your high school career when you were selected for membership in the National Honor Society along with twenty- nine other juniors whose school records were exceptional. Most of the fellows this Spring were out every afternoon playing lacrosse. You never got to play regularly but you had a great time on the bus excursions and still have some colorful bruises to show for the season's activities. And you'll never forget what your mother said to you after the evening reception on April 22 . . . fine program and so on-but some teacher got to her and gave a play by play account of your conduct in sixth period math.

An elert hall cop caught you going up and down stairway and made a date for you to meet Senior Iudge lane Dorsey at the Student Court. For your offense you were made to serve a brief term in S. l-f. B. You still remember those physics lectures on light and radio waves and the time your home- room won the school softball championship. This was your first year of Hi-Y and you man- aged to get yourself elected to an office for the coming year. In May you wondered whether the lunior Prom would be the great success that chair- man lim Hutchison had prophesied for it. lt wasg it will probably be a long time before you forget this red letter day of the junior social calendar. Soon after that the year was over and you knew that you were heading into the home stretch. THE SENIORS Last tall you became a senior, but you could hardly believe it for you did not feel as old or as wise or as competent an Seniors had always seemed to be. You took a big part in the clubs and societies and the publications and the aames but you hit the books too be- cause there was always the little gnawing thouaht that at the end ot the year you would have to ao to colleae or aet a job. You got some help in choosina a career from Dr. Stanforth and about November and December you beaan to receive a steady stream ot mail from colleaes and universities. You found out what the inside ot the library looked like and where they kept the books, When you were applyina tor college and jobs you worried a little when others got offers but when you were accepted everything looked Swell aaain. You were on the list ot twenty tour, nom- inated lor :senior clam: otiicerss but the coveted presidency of the araduatina class fell to Geoiae Martini. lolin lloraan was elected vice- prersident, Don Weston, treasurer, and lane Dorsey, secretary. Followina the elections the class ol l94l embarked on its most active yearly proarani. V ry it 1 I . IAN x m- x-' E DORSEY G f -. ' EOR .- - 4 A knot, N5 kk:-5 CXK WESTON' N HORGAN '- The reception for mothers on December 4, under the direction of Mildred Muller, and the fathers' reception on April 20, planned by Dick Wyler, brought your parents to another meet- ing with your teachers, The high spot of your l94U celebration of Christmas was the Senior Winter Dance, with Bill Fenno playing in an atmosphere of everareens and snow. You never realized how tough the teachers' lot really was until the tables were turned last April on Students' Day and you became a member of the faculty for a day and tutored six exhausting classes of lfnglish Neverthe less, you had a lot of fun and your depreda tions on the telephone system helped to drive the office staff batty. And this spring, do you remember those anxious two weeks of waiting for your Totem prints which arrived safely in spite of your Worry. And then there was that county I-lifY meeting at Baldwin, Honor Society inductions all over Nassau and lnterscholastic Forum meetings in schools throughout the lsland. You added friends from other local high schools to those you had already made in Sewanhaka. This year the assembly committee proved itself ingenious and came up with programs that ranged all the way from an exhibition of 1 square dancing to a concert by the Nassau llhilliarinonic Orchestra. You were one ot the salesmen in the drive to sell the attractive senior pins this spring, and later the class used your persuasive ability in the ticket sale for the senior play in March. You were only one ot the l8UU who laughed at the three act comedy Swing Fever, with loe Christopher in the lead role at 'teen aaed Alex Norris, After the play, school events tumbled quickly up on each other, leading to class day and coimiienceinent, the impressive finals to tour years in liiah school. You were one ot the liia shots in the annual 'lpooh bah and 'lraztvle dazizile' ol school elections, which ceased just in time for pre regents cramming. And then came the annual Senior Ball, the major social event ter the members of graduating classes and the most memorable dance of your hiah school Career. When you dropped yourseli into bed that night you were deadftired from dancing, tired from studying, tired from taking tests and tired from the strain of prefaraduation activity. But you had a lot ot fun in your last year at Sewanhaka, probably as much as you ever had, and you knew as the tinal day ap- proached, that you were about to leave a lot of friends and that even it it doesnt miss you, you were aoina to miss the old school a lot, 'Q- 1 117 Q' 'S- ABBOTT.

Dear Sewanhaka: On behalf of the Senior Class Officers of 1940-41, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Senior Home Room Representatives and Treas- urers, to the Class Representatives, and to all committees and their respective chairmen, for their unceasing support toward the fulfillment of the various programs and activities we have engaged in, during this past year. I would also like to thank the entire student body for their support, in attending these functions, and making them successful. To the Class of 1942 who, next year will be the leaders of the school, I take this opportunity to extend my most sincere Wishes for a successful year as a Senior Class of Sewanhaka High School. GEORGE MARTINI, President, Senior Class '41 Due to unforeseen circumstances which could not be corrected we were unable to obtain the photographs of a few members of the 1941 graduating class In respect to them, and in the desire to make this book complete we have printed them herewith under the heading of, Camera Shy IOSEPH ANELLO-Intramural sports, homeroom manager.

P-Gm ' 'iii STUDENT GOVERNMENT Every Monday Study Hall A was filled with representatives from the home rooms and the four classes. This was the less spectacular and most important part of the Sewanhaka Student Council activities. You may forget some of these meetings but last Iune's elections will remain as one of the high spots of your high school career. Posters and rumors gave the first hint of impending contest. The cafeteria had its walls decorated with the pictures of prospective officers, and party posters appeared every- where. A new party, the Liberals, became so strong during the campaign that the Pro-lnde- pendents were nosed out of second place be- hind the Student Party. Arthur Ross became Student Council President, Lillian Hashagan, vice-president, Mildred Muller, treasurer, and lack Reamer, secretary, as the entire student party slate was balloted to office. You received pamphlets, free chewing gum and Iollypops, and you heard talks by party booster. And then came election day. ln the morning the school was surrounded by in- tense activity. A parade approached the cam- pus and somewhere in its midst promises and warnings were blasting from loud speakers. Trucks rolled by, gaudy with banners and noisy from the party supporters inside who were sending out a snowstorm of handbills and confetti. When it passed by, the parade turned around and came back to perform before the next cluster of students coming to school. Many did not go in, but remained on the grounds before the building to watch the proceedings.

The announcement of the results a few periods after the balloting provided a fitting climax to election day. One of the grandest pieces of Work that year was Louis Schimolers reorganization of the Hall Squad, which then proceeded to earn much more respect from the student body than it had received in a long time. Lou was backed completely by senior fudge lane Dor- sey of the Student Court, and lunior Iudges Joseph Christopher and Chris Cunningham. QQQW. Jr XR in K nd 'Y' Xil- ms HMV I Z xxtx Wt ff! QU 5 1 it tt tk X XY it e it . it 45 it I You didnt care too much about the Music Clubs when you were a Freshman, but it changed when you became a Sophomore, and then a Iunior and took more part in school activities. For almost every event you went to, the Orchestra was there, the Winter and Sum- mer Concerts, the Spring Concert, and the Operetta. So you suddenly realized one day, how you had overlooked themg and then you joined the Glee Club. Your ability as well as your interest grew, and you were chosen for the Choir and later the Aeolian Club, And so Commencement Day, when you stood in the auditorium waiting for your Diploma you looked back and remembered how the Band, the Orchestra and the Glee Clubs had added immeasurable enioyment to your high school lite and you were glad, because you knew you would always remember them. BAND When you joined the Glee Club you met Mr. Hill for the first time, And as you entered the big music room you saw his tiny office oft in a corner, you felt that should have been larger with a heavy mahogany desk and a soft rug. You came to know Calvin Adams the presi- dent, Ioseph Beza, vice-president, Daniel ln- garra and Harold lohns, secretary and trease urer. How the band could play. Listening to the concert Ianuary 19, you recalled how proud you were when the 85 pieces played at the World's Fair and again each year at Co- lumbia University. That summer you heard the ninth series of vacation concerts and in the fall you heard them every Saturday at football games, and you always liked the Twirlers for several were the prettiest girls at school. Re- member there was Elinor Fox, Betty Cunning- ham, Caroline Putits, Mary Carolla, lane Kanenski, Gloria Scala, and Dorothy Withen. ln Stewart Manor on Memorial Day they pa- raded and you saw them again at the Mine- ola Fair in September. You were there when they played at the concert March 16 and again April 4 at the Annual Band and Orchestra Evening Concert. ORCHESTRA That night you also heard the orchestra un- der Mr. Ahlman's direction and they were familiar to you because you saw them at every play you attended. Some of the others didn't like classic and symphonic music, but you did because never before had you realized its beauty. And then in May the sixty piece orchestra together with several professional musicians played for the Operetta produced by Miss Donoghue and performed by members of the Glee Clubs. And in Iune it seemed fitting that they should be there at the end and they were, for Commencement Day they played while you prepared to leave, and go on to a new life. l-low proud you were! 'Fefe- 'ilu' me ' ar U GLEE CLUBS Pverybody felt that the Operetta was the hialiliaht of the concerts given by the Glee Clubs in lQ4l. Phyllis Teirstein and Bill Diard played the leads in the Pirates of Penzance, supported by Sue Muenzteninaier, Lillian llasliaaan, Yolanda Cacciatore, Marilyn Thompson, Mathew Huss, Arthur Ross, Sydney Tilden, Pranl: Thomas, and Ed Muller. When you left the auditorium that niaht you felt sorry that they only aave one operetta every other year, but you were proud of what an excellent job Miss Donoaliue had done. You rernernbered the Boys' and the Girls' Varsity Glee Club because you had sung with them, toaetlier with the Girls' lunior Var- sity, the aroups numbered nearly 250. From the Boys' and Girls' Glee Club there were two selected aroups, one the Aeons con- sistina of fourteen boys and the other the Aeolian with a inenibership of twenty-seven girls. With thern this year you helped elect Mathew lluss, president of the Boys Glee Club, Bob Distler, vice president, Arthur Ross, secretary, and Bruce Allen and Alfred Anaelo as librarians. Then carrie the Nassau County Choral Conf cert and you spent :several days practicina with the county Glee Clubs under Hugh Ross and last year at the sarne concert you worked with Fred Wanna, but that wasnt the first Q1'i 2f+f.eQ:Q-if-Q-1--1- fe:a Q I 4 1 '5' Q1 Aa, -I '59 -9 'E sy 'i'i,1 , 1 V1 .gi... ,X . itil iii 1 in tiff it 1 D Q 0 f I p 0 Y u u if u -,z H xr -' G Q a as S-5 g 5 5 'G 419 's' 211 if-if .555 Rims Q 2'1i3iQig, l 3 'X Nu aim' fm +'q lU'l'Fff- U - TOTEM LD smNY-'f Tl EN One ot the big changes that took place durf ing 1941 was the appointment of Mr. George Allen as adviser to the Totem, after the retire- ment of Mr. Iohn Clark who directed the staff for three years. We knew Mr. Allen before he aspired to his new position for he previously worked as beginning we hoped lishing of Several year. Two circulating adviser, So l9fll was the of a new Totem, a new adviser, and a new order to the traditional pub- the yearbook. accomplishments were made that were the establishment of the Totem Pole, the annuals paper, and a Student Poll. Another was the founding ot the Totem oflice which we hoped might someday become the center ot the yearbook activity. The l94l statl included Warren Nicholl, editor, Sidney Tilden, photography editorg Fred Balsac, and Paul Moore, advertising, Charles Moncriet, circulat- ing manager, Richard Miller, art editor. George Denton, lames Hutchison, Katherine Hilde- brandt and Walter Willets, were writers' Iames Fitchet and Iohn Francke, photog- raphers. Lastly we do not wish to overlook the book itself, lts physical structure is one of the big- gest changes. No engravings were used and the book was printed by the ottset process which was only then becoming popular in yearbook work. Extensive plans were prepared for the various department schedules, such as advertising and photography. A handbook was compiled on the do and do notsi' ot yearf book publication. So with this, the l9fll issue, the Totem began a new life, CHIEF TAIN A mammoth defense issue of the Chieftain! A 16 page paper boasting a picture section, These were seine of the rumors you heard at school, The Totem had to have a story about the paper and saw here an opportunity, The Chieftain was tops in competition for the last three years, receiving the medalist from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the Pacemaker from the National Scholastic Press Association, but this was to set a new record, for previously fourteen pages had been the maximum. Half-way down the hall a hum could be heard. A voice shouted, Hey Char- ley, go get some sugar buns , from somewhere came a mumbled assent. The hum turned to a roar, and everyone worked feverishly. Iohn lloraan, lifditorin-Cliief, stepping in when it became too tough for the others. Hey, Walter, shouted lim Hutchinson, Sports Head to News Editor Willets, let's have a glue bottle. Over in the corner, Mr. Ierome Niosi, Adviser, looked up from the Feature pages and sighed, Ah, finished. Paul Moore, Advertising Manager, tirelessly compiled inches of ads. Suddenly Betty Brewster, Feature Editor, rushed past, headed heaven knows where. What about the facts? So into the office of Mr. Flaherty, Chief Counselor of all publications. Reporters were sent all over Long Island and into the city to interview heads of the army, navy and air corps. Pictures were borrowed from the mili- tary publicity departments and from local papers, to make it the prize edition of the year. A staff of not over twenty puts out a prize paper, and yet hilarity continually flourished in the office.

HONOR SOCIETY Sixty students walk Sewanhakas halls wearing a gold torch of knowledge pin, the symbol of the National Honor Society. The society's membership is limited, determined by scholarship, character and service. Plans for a monthly literature magazine composed of student contributions and a five dollar prize for the best short story submitted by a student, were among the important business accom- plishments of the organization. The May Dance, held on the night of the annual induction, was the social success in 1941.

W HALL SQUAD Less confusion in the halls, checking passes, lockers, issuing summonses for infractions of school rules, were some of the accomplish- ments of the Hall Squad. One hundred and twenty members officered by eleven veterans did a fine job of keeping order. Captain Louis Schimoler was pleased with results but had more plans in mind. Ken Brandt, Roger Iohn- son and Doug McFadden felt that a closer check of passes and more instruction in sum- mons issuing Would be helpful. Qualifications for acceptance into the or- ganization were stiffened to insure better re- sults. New members had to be acceptable to the entire organization as well as to meet the physical and scholastic requirements. Mr. Howard Nordahl was the adviser. GIRLS' SERVICE LEAGUE At the Senior Play we were ushered to our seats by a good looking girl wearing a G. S. L. usher pin. Curious, we inquired to learn more of the activities of the group. Checking passes and maintaining locker posts was its main function we learned from Mrs. Utter and Miss l-lillcemeier, advisers. But working doesn't take all our time, said Captain Elaine Gode. Every other meeting is a social one. We had a bazaar which Lieutenant Eileen lung headed, and an Award Dinner which Doris Blyseth had charge of, in addition to teas for new students. Edith Pike headed the period post department, and Virginia Sandgren, the ushers.

Starting with the fall sports and then through winter and spring we will try to take them individually and then combine the records. Sewanhaka opened the football season with a l9 to 7 loss to Valley Stream, and was cle- feated the following Saturday by lvfepham. They broke into the winning column with three successive victories over Oceanside, Hemp- stead, and Chaminade defeating the teams 12 to O, 6 to O, and 14 to 6. With the advent of the following three Saturdays the season closed with losses to Freeport and Westbury. The Purple cagers won 9 and lost 7 contests. Before Christmas the quintet downed Mepham, Great Neck, Freeport and Baldwin, while los- ing to Westbury. Once again resuming play the Indians lost two games before they man- aged to get back into the winning column at the expense of Valley Stream. Losses to Lane, Freeport, and Garden City and a victory over the latter made the record 7 wins and 6 de- feats as the season neared its end. After de- feating Farmingdale the Braves lost to Chamin- ade. The regular season was closed with a victory over Hempstead. The quintet then took part in the Long lsland Sectional tournament. They defeated Garden City in the first round but were defeated in the second by Woodmere. Coach Al Kumerowis matmen opened their schedule with victories over Baldwin, Hemp' stead and Garden City, only to lose the re- KVA 156 'G t Ujmg: K' 'X' .....194l maining four matches to Oceanside, Malverne, Mepham and Valley Stream. lerry Krug was an outstanding performer. He grappled in the 155 pound class. Winning three and losing nine matches the riflernen suffered a poor season. Robert Bright, Ed. Muller, Dick Palla, Cliff Svikhart and Cal- vin Degnan made up the aggregation. Bright had the highest average with a score of ninety- seven. The fencing team found it difficult to secure matches. They opened the season with a loss to Lynbrook 9 to 7. The aggregation was made up of Norman Dewier, Frank Strong, Bill Schelder, Walter Schelder and Scirica. With some eight men from last year's var- sity team returning the Lacrosse outlook was bright for 1941, The Iayvees opened their sea- son on April Zl, one day before the varsity season. The former were defeated 8 to 7. Bob Canavan led the team in scoring with four goals. The following day the varsity lost to Garden City 7 to 4. Iohn Piro was the high scorer. Baseball didnt look as good however, as only six of last year's letter men remained. The track and tennis teams seemed very favorable and hoped to get a quick start to a successful season. As for golf the coming cam- paign looked as if it would fall short of last year's record. By April seventh the combined teams had won 18 and lost 25 of their contests. During the seasons, outstanding performances in the different sports were given by Elmer Meier- diercks, lohn Piro, Ierry Krug, Bruce Gehrke, and Bob Fex. I 1 D ,U ?t'x:1 , 1.:P',,.

The first contest was against a strong Valley Stream team, ln fact they were too strong, and the lndians Went down to a nineteen to seven defeat. Bernie Distler scored the lone touchdown from the two-yard line. On Octo- ber 5 the Mepham Pirates arrived on the resere vation. Mepham led during the whole game but it was much closer than the 12 to 7 score indicated for Cand here we do a little second guessingl if it had not been for Mepham in- tercepting a pass which slipped off the side of Bruce Gehrlces hand as he attempted to get a throw to Elmer lvfeierdiercks, the Braves might have Won 7 to 6. lt looked as though Sewanhaka might have all its games in the lost Column, but one week later the Kumerow- men defeated Oceanside l2 to O. After inter- cepting a pass in the second half Gehrke ran 62 yards for a touchdown, and everybody turned anxious thoughts toward next week's game with Hempstead. ln the meantime here is the starting lineup and some of the second stringers. Elmer Meierdiercks, left endg lohn Falvey at left tackle. Ralph MacDonald was at left guard with l-lowie Lapen at center. On the right wing was loe lngarra, right guardg ' 1 Ierry Krug, tackle, and Bill Barnes, right end. The backfield had lohn Piro and Bernie Distler as quarterback, Bruce Gehrke at left hallback, George Gilbert alternating with Al Brennan, right hall, while Bob Fex was fullback. Other worthy players were Doug McFadden, and Henry I-lettinger, who were injured during the season. Falling back to what we had previously mentioned, Sewanhaka was victorious at Hempstead after 60 minutes of play 6 to 0. The next week Chaminade was beaten l4 to 6, but the Braves lost to Freeport. The Kumerow- men were leading at the end of the first hall, 12 to 7, as the result of a ninety-six yard run on an intercepted pass by lerry Krug. Free- port rallied in the second half, however, and tallied twentyfsix markers. Win Wright led the assault on our heroes as he kicked, passed and ran all over the field, ln the closing game ol the season the Braves lost a tight one, 14 to 13, to Westbury. lt looked as though the purple would have been victorious but two bad breaks put the game in the lost column. Bob Fex was the leading ground gainer with an average 4.3 yards per try. Bruce Gehrke and Bernie Distler shared the honors while the passing was honorably handled by Iohn Piro, Distler, Gehrke and Gilbert. The Iayvees had a record of one win, two ties and tour losses, They met Lawrence, Freeport, Charninade. Twenty-tive points were scored by the Papooses while their adversaries tallied seventy-six markers. Mr. Allred Kumerow was coach. 9 QQ? Swiss is . ggi W4 IV.SQUAD W. iiygxfl 5C'f . Y WU 'J v. vi A. Winning the first three games ove lvfepharf, Great Neck and Freeport it looked as though the Sewanhaka cagemen were on their way to a highly successful season. But the next game saw the defeat of the Braves by West- bury 22 to 12. lt seemed as though the boys cou1dn't play in the afternoon after a diet of almost constant night games had been adopted. The quintet broke back into the win- ning column again before Christmas defeat- ing Baldwin 20 to 17. lt's too bad, however, that Christmas didn't bring a foul shot expert for on lanuary 10 Sewanhaka lost to Chamin- ade, 38 to 36, via the free throw department. But the next afternoon game was a loss to Baldwin, 27 to 21. Victories over Valley Stream and Garden City, and a loss to Franklin K. Lane made the record, 6 to 4, This marked the first time a Sewanhaka basketball team met a quintet from Queens County. With every spectator ready to jump onto the floor and fight for their respective schools Free- port and Sewanhaka met during February, and resulted in our defeat 20 to 16. After losing to Garden City 28 to 24, again in the afternoon Farmingdale was next on the schedule. This team of small reputation did not worry the Braves, however, and under the direction of Coach Clarke took to the war path defeating the opponents, 53 to 28. This score was the highest chalked up by the lndians during the season, The Purple played the best game of the sea- son against Chaminade on February 28, al- though losing 51 to 43 in the last three minutes of play. Elmer lvfeierdiercks starred in this con- test scoring l7 points. Bernie Rutledge of Chaminade who led all Long Island in scoring, was second high with sixteen points to his credit. Of the individual records, Bruce Gehrke led the team in scoring with one hundred and twenty-six points to his credit. He was fol- lowed by lflmer Meierdiercks who made eighty-seven points and lack Hamburg with sixtyfseven, Hamburg, however, didr1't play the last four games and probably would have scored many more markers, Piro and Meier- K X dierclcs were rebuffed most for personals. The starting line-up consisted of Bruce Gehrke, Augie Bolli, lack Hamburg, lohn Piro, and Elmer lvfeicrdiercks. Bill Dwyer, and Iohn Fal- vey also saw much service during the season. Other members of the team were Ierry Kney, Don Price, George Gilbert, Howie Lapen, Bernie Distler and Bill Mannix. The lunior Varsity turned in a fairly good record winning 3 and losing 6. The top six was made up of Bill Matthews, Herb Wagner, Iohn Uhlenbusch, lack Daly, lules Henkel and Don Novak. - -323.5 Over one hundred students turned out for the Baseball squad. Of these many Braves only lO were kept. The fortunate among the Braves were lules Henkel, Herb Wagner, Lin- coln Hansen, Tom Earing, Iohn Wilde, Ken Kolkebeck, Dave Bloodgood, Timmy Devine. Henkel and Wilde were luniors while Wagner, Hansen, Earing were all Sophomores and Kol- kebeck and Devine were Freshmen, Bloodgood was the lone Senior. These boys combined with the six old-timers made up the l94l nine. The veteran sguad might well remember the beginning of last year's campaign which started on April l6 two weeks earlier than this year. The Kumerow men lost the first game of the season to Bald- win only to bounce back with successive wins over Westbury, Mineola, Chaminade and Lawrence. lncidentally that game with the Flyers was a shutfout, Merritt pitching a great game. The second lose of the season was to the Tigers from Hempstead. On May 7 last year Bill Harrison at first base was leading the batf ters with the average of 455. He was followed by Bob Fex with ,348 Oh, oh, hero we got ourselves wrapped up in last year's record and forgot to continue the tale on this years team. How about taking a look at the individual ref Jfgrning players. Asitljie Totem went to press I 1 Jlflli Bill Mathers and Bruce Gehrke, both members of last year's squad, were slated to take over the pitching chores left open due to the gradu- ation of Ioe Krug and Larry Merritt. Both had a little question mark after their name. Mathers would be a standout pitcher if he could get some extra speed. Gehrke was trying to get a hitch out of his arm. Last year's catcher, Elmer lvfeierdiercks was ,back at his old position with Don Novak remaining in the number two place behind the plate. Dave Bloodgood, a newcomer, was slated to take over the first base position. lt looked as though Ierry Kney and Bill Dwyer would be the keystone combination. Third base was an uncertainty. ln the outer gardens Howie Lapen and Ioe lngarra were slated to start. The schedule opened on April 29 against Lawrence. Then came home games with Cha- minade and Freeport which were followed by away games with Valley Stream and New- town and a home game with Chaminade. Coming into the last half of the schedule Hempstead came to Sewanhaka on May 20, and was followed by visiting contests at Free- port and Mepham. The Freeport game was played under the arc lights. After a home game with Westbury the season ended with two con- tests at Hempstead and Westbury. Mr. Alfred Kumerow was coach. S3 rg-it fi '... f.. Q., -4 883 V11 . 36'.it qwtti -i 5 .

The In- dians lost their opening game to Garden City, 7 to 4. Iohn Piro was high scorer for the Braves while Douglas McFadden and Lou Schimoler also played outstanding games. Last year the teams rnet in two games. The first was a 4 to 4 tie while the second went to the Maroons, 7 to 6. Eight days later the Stickmen attempted to defeat Marihasset for the second time in his- tory, and won 5 to 4. On May 10 the Purple and White traveled to Peekskill and then to Poly Prep on May 16 and May 24. It was the first time the Sewanhakans had traveled to Peekskill and the second time they met an up- state team. Some of our players, however, lost their heads and the Braves were defeated 6 to 5. Poly Prep also defeated the tired Indians who had been to the Iunior Prom the night l ful. '.' '. M v i' T., 1 '-.- .fnfgvn ,,' ,Q gm-- ,f A -.,.- 4. ,.g:w,3f,f - - of . ' --'W' , g .

But let's take a look at the top thirteen men from which the 1941 squad was drawn. Iohn Piro, George Gilbert, Doug Mc- Fadden, and Ierry Krug all played varsity last year. Piro proved himself a fairly good shot last year, while Gilbert was to play mid-field or attack, although if his wind did not fail, mid-field was the more likely position. Mc- Fadden was one of the steadiest players of the team while Krug was a member of the All- Scholastic Squad last year. Others were Iohn Hennessen, Lou Schimoler, Iohn Falvey, Iohn Grygo, and Bob Distler who played both var- sity and I. V. Each man looked good although Schimoler promised to rise to stardom. The 1940 I. V. team sent up Iimmy Guariglia, Bob Canavan, Bob Grygo, and Iames Hutchison. Guariglia came to the Reservation from Man- hasset. Canavan would be a much greater asset if he were a little bigger, for he handles the stick like a Vet. Grygo and Hutchison both played goalie last year. Many newcomers to the Lacrosse squad were destined to make the I. V. They opened their season on April 21, one day before the varsity. The former were defeated 8 to 7. Bob Canavan led the team in scoring with four goals. The following day the varsity lost to Garden City, 7 to 4. Iohn Piro was the high scorer. Mr. Howard Nordahl was coach. ii 1 I 1 The lndian cindermen were scheduled to meet the cream of Nassau track teams as the Totem met its dead line. The returning veter- ans and the newcomers will be out to better last years record of two firsts, five seconds and one last. Some of this year's losses because of grad- uation were discouraging, Ted Richards was gone in the hundred. Star hurdler lack Bur- mann had also departed, but his loss was somewhat lessened by the return of Bernie Distler. Bill Barnes was missed in the 440 while Eliot Pratt, Iohn Pedone, and Frank Clifford did not appear in the 880. George Ackersen had graduated and left an opening in the shot-put ranks, and pole vaulter Otto Forst left. Still the Braves would not be easy opponents in the year's competition. Our Braves who could be counted on again this season were lack Kresech, Bob Browne, lim Cosgrove, Bill Potts, Lou Merolla, Henry Wocker, and Arthur Highland. ln the tryout run held just before Easter vacation Cosgrove tied the collegiate record in the 100. .3 flag ci ' Pigxgz ff 9 et f 'VV T y , lv 147'-71 tgp, ff . .fx , My Q I ' NL I L XMTT 6 if In f 5 I ,Vg Mel, fm Wocker finished about two steps ahead of Mike Greco in the mile, and it looked as though these two would give an excellent ace count of themselves during the season until Greco left school. Highland won the 440 tryouts, On May 10, Sewanhaka, lvfepham and Cen- tral were scheduled to hook up in a triangular meet. Seven days later the trackmen were to meet Hempstead on May l7. lust a week after the triangular meet came the Long Island Belay Carnival, with three meets a Week scheduled for the season. Started for the first time this year the Cross Country team competed in four meets last fall. Henry Wocker led the team with two firsts, one second and one fifth. Shorty Le Count looked as if he would prove a valuable asset to the team, but was forced to retire because of poor health. Other members of the team were Dick Novak, Bay Fink, Iohn Hoagland, Lou Merolla, Fran Purcell, lohn Tustin and Bob Canavan. Hoagland was number two man on the squad while Fink was number three. Mr. Alfred Caine was coach. Nt 'Nw 'il A I 'ff 0- '11--QQ, TENNIS Maintaining both a 1. V. and a Varsity squad for the first time in history the tennismen opened their season on April 22 with a win over St. Paul 5 to O. Harry lahnke won 6-2, 6-2, while Bill Beckman won 6-4 and 6-2. But Lindquist topped by 6-4, 6-3. The two main cogs in the tennis offense were Iahnlce and Beckman, both luniors This means they will be back again in 1942. lahnke is slated for the number one position with Beckman in the number two slot. Lindguist and Burke both back from last year, will play number three and four man respectively Fifth and sixtl. positions were filled by Wickbane and Harold Martin, Walter Martin last years number one man graduated and entered college. He joined the rapidly growing group of ex-tennis men among whom are Pete Piscitelli, Kenny Evensen and Mr. Nelson Borlchuis. Because the new Vocational Building was constructed near the right wing of the school in 1941, the tennis teams lost two clay courts, however, they were seldom used in preference of the three asphalt paved tennis grounds. The schedule would be much the same as last year with teams such as Chaminade, Hempstead, Scarsdale, Freeport and Garden City. Mr. Marshall Miller was coach. 1 1 44' Z F59 I WHESTLI G 'J The wrestlers came in like a lion and went out like a lamb as they won their first three matches only to lose the last four Zdifwagvictories were clialked up over Baldwin, Hempstead and Garden City, while the losses were to Mepham, Malverne, Valley Stream and Oceanside. After the schedule was completed the Braves competed in the Invitation Tournament. Three Indian grapplers reached the finals in this tourney. lerry Krug, a standout performer, Doug McFadden, Dick Webster all reached the semi-finals. McFadden bowed out as lie lost to Frank Winter of Mepham, who was the outstanding performer in the meet. Handicapped by a hurt shoulder suffered early in the season, Krug lost to Gordon Hausrath of Amityville, Webster was defeated by Henry O'Shaugh- nessy of Mepham. Mr. Alfred Kumerow was PENEING Help wanted! No this is not a placement bureau. lust thought you might be able to dig up some fencing matches so our Cutlass aggressorsn could really have a full schedule. Twenty-five aspiring lndians turned out for the 1941 team. Of these four were chosen to make up the first squad, namely Norman Dewier, Frank Strong, Bill Schedler, Walter Schedler. The Braves were defeated in their first match with Lynbrook on April 3, 9 to 7. Scirica won three of his matches while losing one. He was closely followed by Dewier and Strong with scores of 2 and 2. The Schedler boys brought up the rear with no victories and two losses apiece. Mr. Nelson Borkhuis was coach, coach. RIFLE Bullseyel Nice word isn't it, and the Sewanhaka Rifle team sure wish they had heard it more often during the past season which was one of the most disastrous in years. The riflemen won three and lost nine with an average of 250. The team was made up of Robert Bright, Ed Muller, Dick Palla, Cliff Svikhart and Jack Mills. Bright had the highest average scoring a 97. He was closely followed by Muller and Palla who chalked up 96. Made up of Iohn Heneson, George Wahl, Robert Gens, Roger Gens, Roger Iohnsen and Iohn Redican the Iunior Varsity chalked up a record of three wins and four losses. Mr. Kenneth Skidmore was the GULF A team as good as last year's was the hope of everyone connected with the Sewanhaka golfers as the season was about to open. Niel Anderson and Charles Osborne, both stalwarts of last year's team, which won nine straight, had graduated. Last year the golf team had a highly suc- cessful season. The Braves defeated Amityville 540 in two matches. Chaminade and Hunting- ton were beaten 4-l while Scarsdale and Hempstead lost to our heroes 3-2. This year the squad faced such schools as Freeport, Garden City, Scarsdale, Amityville and Hempstead. Mr. Ira Wilder once again coached the team as he had during the past 10 campaigns. coach. l WW' .LBA t . f .ix 4-....,.,l GIRLS' THLETIES Maybe you have wondered what the aim or purpose is of Girls' Athletics. Well, extra- curricular activities are sponsored to develop the girls of Sewanhaka both physically and mentallyp to kindle in them a sense of sports- manship and fair playg to help them to realize the true meaning of cooperation, and to pro- mote new friendships. Everyone knows that a friend you made on the hockey field or basketball court is always one whom you admire for his or her sportsmanship. The Girls' Athletic Club, more popularly known as the G.A.C., is an organization founded to uphold these ideals. Its member- ship is composed of girls having a mutual interest in sports and who have attained a certain amount of credits based on their athletic achievements. The past year a varied schedule of athletics has been offered to any girl wishing to take part. Soccer and basketball toumaments were held under the supervision oi Mrs. Ida Todd. ln the soccer' toumaments the Iuniors and Sophs finished in a draw, neither being able to outplay the other. There were many sore toes and bruised shins, but the contests were well worth it. They gave the girls a chance for mental relaxation at the same time supplying the necessary exercise. The basketball tournament found the Iuniors placing first, repeating a feat they accom- plished the preceding year and their hopes were high for '42, The winning players were Edna Iones, Irene Almas, Helen Meierdiercks, Sue Muenzenmaier, tWilliel Flieg and Kath- erine Hildebrandt. All of these girls had played together since their Freshman year and had developed their teamwork splendidly. : Q of ,pf -if I, 2 i The sophomore class had interesting mate- rial, and promised to be a threat. Under the advisorship ot Lois Iohnston such activities as volley ball, horseback riding, swimming, fenc- ing, archery and modern dancing were con- ducted. No tournaments were held in any of these sports. Yolanda Cacciatore was the most outstand- ing archer and together with some ot her teammates participated in the Long Island Archery Tournament with girls from other schools on the Island. The most adept swimmer was Shirley Goetschiusg Lois Flint was the most talented dancer. The girls who took part in ping-pong and bowling had as their adviser Miss Emily Smith. After several practice sessions the tournaments were begun in these sports. The finals found Nancy Horgan, Virginia Gill, and Irene Almas competing tor the coveted title Miss Ping Pong 1941. Nancy was victorious with Gill placing second and Irene third. The bowling tournament was equally thrilling. After many strenuous matches a victor emerged slightly dealened by the din ot fall- ing pins. The victor was Eleanor Gehlen. Close on her heels were Ianet Beleau and Nedra Rantsch. ,2- .1 5 ,J i A aff 2 .wy- I -Q-, , af' 1' 7. C4x'f,K TICKET COMMITTEE At dances, concerts and athletic contests, this group functioned as ticket collectors. Orig- inally only fifteen members were necessary to do the work, but the number was increased to thirty. The advisers were. Mr, l-layden Allen, Mr. Louis Anastasio, Mr. Walter Henken, Mr. William Irwin, Mr. Edward Eberle and Mr. Ierome Sherk. Francis Purcell was president and Betty Cunningham secretary. IN TRAMURAL SPORTS To give every boy in school a chance in competitive athletics the intramural program was formed under the direction of Mr. Cuyler Cross. The program has been maintained since the schools opening, and includes such sports as tennis, wrestling, volley ball, soccer, corrective gym, basketball, horseshoes, and ping pong. Wrestling serves a twofold purpose. One, to give the boys who are interested in wrestling and are not able to make the varsity team a chance to compete in matches, two, to prepare boys for varsity competition. Volley ball games were played between the homerooms of the four classes during the winter, After class champions were determined the four remaining teams competed for the school championship. Soccer and basketball were both held in the same manner. Corrective gym was maintained during school hours to give boys who were physically deficient the proper training to help strengthen their bodies, and also to limit exercise for con- valescing students. 62:14 Nwiianai f254eMe U s NAVY MODEL F4F 3 Th G fight pl G N IDf Pg GRUMMIIN AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING CORP.
