Division III, the squad handily dominated play, and unlike last year, took both games against rival Hempstead. Center, Beaver Smith, with guards David Lucey and Greg Smith returned as starters, forwards Bernard James and Mike Shannon completed the first unit. Beaver's bril- liant play won him countless accolades, and for the second consecutive year he was awarded the County Tournament Most Valuable Playern trophy - the second player in county history to do this. David Lucey reached the 1,000 point career mark in an exciting win over Lawrence in the South Shore final, joining Beaver in that category. Beaver also broke the school scoring record with a 41 point performance, and Greg came close by scoring 38 points in another game. Willie Salters and Bob Buckfelder provid- ed strong bench support for the Cyclones throughout the season. BASKETBALL: LGIRLSJ p. 114 COACH: Miss C. Mathias This year's team was composed of approxi- mately twenty players split into two groups: varsity and junior varsity. The girls played in a large league. Good ball handling, defensive playing, fine outside shots and rebounding, accorded the team a fine record. BIOLOGY CLUB p. 74 PRESIDENT: Roy Luft ADVISOR: Mrs. B. Robbins The Biology Club gave its members an op- portunity to continue their work in this field outside of the course offerings. Speakers were invited and there were field trips to nearby wet- lands to obtain marine specimens. Special, in depth, research reports were given by the mem- bers, and many members participated in the spring Science Fair. The club maintained Biolo- gy Lab equipment and marine fish tanks. The annual Biology publication The Spendthriftn was produced in the Spring. BLACK STUDENT UNION p. 50 PRESIDENT: Melvin Crews ADVISOR: Mr. K. Jenkins Members of the Black Student Union spent the year exploring the riches of their heritage and culture through various field trips and speakers. The group attended the New York City Memorial for Martin Luther King, viewed performances of the Black Theatre in New York City, and saw productions at Hofstra and Nas- sau Community College. J. C. Franklin and Melvin Van Peebles, authors of Black Girl and Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death, respectively, spoke with the Union, and in June, a scholarship was presented to a graduating senior who did much for the Afro-American people. BOWLING P- 115 COACH: Mr. Joseph Metallo CAPTAIN: Ira Thomsen The South Side Bowling Teamfaced stiff competition this year in Division II but was able to compile the best record during the second half, allowing them to participate in the South Shore roll-offs. For South Side, Ira Thomsen, Kurt Schmalzbach, and Tom Foley held league individual honors for both high games and high series. In addition, Kurt and Tom won the league high single trophy. For the first time in the history of South Side's bowling team, a girl, in the person of Ilene Klugman, represented the team in interscholastic play. She was the only female in South Shore Division II. CHEERLEADING p. 90 CO-CAPTAINS: Wendy Young and Betsy Lyons ADVISOR: Miss C. Mathias This year's cheering squad of juniors and seniors boosted our teams to victory. The girls cheered at football and basketball games, feed- ing and stimulating the excitement felt by the spectators. CHESS CLUB p. 76 PRESIDENT: Louis Gasthal ADVISOR: Mr. G. Rauch The Chess Club of South Side allows for all who enjoy and share an interest in the game to get together for some good competition. Many of this yearfs members had an avid interest in chess and in organized competition. They were consequently registered members of national and international chess associations. CI-IORALEERS P- 56 PRESIDENT: Barbara DiNapoli VICE-PRESIDENT: Ellen Cabasin SECRETARY: Christianne Wendt TREASURER: Deborah White and Jayne Erny In 1971, the South Side Choraleers experi- enced great success with their Winter Show, the rock operetta, Joseph and the Amazing Tech- nicolor Dreamcoatf' The Madrigals , a divi- sion of the Choraleers, also performed at the Show, and in addition put on a show at a local Kiwanis Club dinner. A trip to see Jesus Christ, Superstar, was organized by the Chor- aleers this year, and many attended. Eleven members of the singing club competed in the Nassau County Sectionals. In the spring, the Choraleers combined with the orchestra to pro- duce Shubert's Mass, COLONNADE p. 64 EDITORS-IN-CHIEI3: Jaimee Kurfirst, Mark Stillman ADVISOR: Mr. E. Garfinkel ART ADVISOR: Mr. W. Dehn Hello? This year's Colonnade staff under the watchful eye of its advisors, a pair of misplaced editors and a slightly used cameraman, actually produced a yearbook. The struggle was not without its ups - the bi-annual Hello Lunch- eons, and downs - tears shed on the part of more than one staff member, deadline rushes and lost pictures. The art room was always bus- tling with activity lalthough not always Colon- nade activityj and as the year progressed, those involved realized that Colonnade was more than a yearbook and the workers more than a staff. It was an integral part of our senior year that all of us could easily have missed but which will nev- er be forgotten. Goodbye? COMPUTER CLUB p. 71 PRESIDENT: Roy Luft VICE-PRESIDENT: David Bayer and David Lustig ADVISOR: Mrs. L. Yelman CO-ADVISOR: Mr. G.

South Sides Computer Club offers students a basic course in the use of the machine and in writing programs, knowledge which may be expanded upon through independent study. Over 40 students were introduced to the com- puter this year, discovering its many practical uses and applications. Among the many pro- grams written were a checker program, a mar- riage ceremony, and an attendance program used for the new modular schedule system. CONTEXT p. 68 CO-EDITORS: Linda Pressman, Bill Silberg ART EDITOR: Denise Martin ASSOCIATE EDITORS: Susan Greenberg, Ju- lie Shuchman, Howard Clark ADVISOR: Mr. R. Reusch Context, the literary and art magazine of Southside Senior High School, provides an outlet for creative students. It is published an- nually and consists of original poetry, short stories, art work, and photography. Those items to be published are determined by the staff. This year, Context again gave awards to the best works published. CROSS-COUNTRY p. 93 CAPTAIN: James McCullough COACH: Mr. Dowden The 1971 Cross-Country team showed some fine talent en route to a 6-3 season and a very respectable third place division finish under new Coach Dowden. Standouts for the season included seniors Jim McCullough, Steve Figu- eroa, Joe Duprey, and David Lucey. Jim Mc- Cullough finished fourth in the South Shore Championship Meet, a very worthy achieve- ment considering the fact that over a hundred boys from all the schools in the southern half of Nassau County competed in this meet. CYCLONE SHOP p. 76 ADVISOR: Mr. R. Zodda The Cyclone Shop provides the student body with a complete line of stationery products, study aids and review books. Business students operated the shop enabling them to gain the experience of the day-to-day operation of a re- tail store by keeping records, pricing merchan- dise and keeping inventory. This year, the store expanded, with a new location and longer hours. DRAMA GUILD p, 60 PRESIDENT: Richard Keller VICE-PRESIDENT: Connie Kaplan SECRETARY: Janet Sturm TREASURER: Kathy Gilligan ADVISOR: Mr. L. Waxman The Drama Guild, with its eighty-eight members, staged a number of successful pro- ductions this year. The two major presentations were Bad Seed and a musical extravaganza, Fiddler on the Roof. The club ran workshop productions along with presenting films, im- provisations, and different theatrical produc- tions at their monthly meetings. An affiliated group produced Story Theatre to entertain children and hospital patients. The end of the year was marked by a banquet where the most valuable member was awarded a plaque.
