They were high school students, now. When they had accustomed themselves to the new work, they elected their officers for the year: George Dickerson, president; Stanley Berkoski, vice president and secretary; and Jean Grattan, treasurer. Later in the year, the class held a picnic on the Sound. Several of the boys were quite active in sports and all participated in clubs. When they became Sophomores, they lost some of their shyness and became a little more active. The officers for the year were: Raymond Donahue, president; Helen Hunter, vice president; Betty Silleck, secretary; and Jean Grattan, treasurer. They were prominent in sports with George Dicker-son being outstanding. Helen Hunter showed her talent in cheerleading. During the course of the year, the students hired a bus and went to Green-port to see “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, after completing the story in class. They also hired the movie, “Silas Marner,” and presented it in the auditorium. Having finished half of their high school career, these happy-go-lucky students, minus a few who dropped out along the way, entered their Junior year with a new zest. This year as before the class showed their strength in Latin Club, band, in sports and on the Echo staff. Helen Hunter, Mary Kouwenhoven, Gertrude Goodale, and Ida Grath-wohl showed their best as cheerleaders, and “Hank” Dickerson held his own in basketball and baseball. Ted Bucci proved an asset to the track team. Toward spring they chose their officers for that year and their much-looked-forward-to Senior year. Betty Silleck was voted president and Ray- To The Juniors Proud Juniors, it is now up to you to carry on where we have left off. One thing we have learned, especially in our Senior year, is that cooperation helps a great deal when a large group tries to carry out different projects and campaigns. Give your hearty and willing cooperation to the president, for hers is a difficult job at best. You’ll have to settle down to some studying now and put your carefree ways behind you, for that is an important part of being a Senior. Keep up the good work you have already shown in the many extra-curricular activities. Juniors, we wish you all the luck in the world in your work next year and throughout life. Betty Silleck, President of Senior Class mond Donahue, vice-president. Helen Hunter was elected as secretary and Jean Grattan was again unanimously chosen as treasurer. After the Seniors returned from their trip to New York, the Juniors started their sale of candy and began their plans for their Junior Prom. On the wet evening of May 21, the students presented themselves in full force to dance to the music of George Laub’s orchestra. The Juniors also ordered their class rings. September, 1943, marked the opening of a new and exciting episode in the high school chapter of their lives. Thirty students settled down to the task of becoming seniors and assuming the responsibility accompanying this privilege. Their fall magazine campaign was a great success and they beat all previous records with sales amounting to $1,527.30. During the year they held many Senior parties which were attended and enjoyed by almost the entire student body. They were active in Latin Club, band, and sports. Albert Dickerson, George Dickerson, Walter Courtenay, John Machinchick, John Norklun and Sid Case made up an excellent varsity basketball squad. They went out in full force for baseball and track. Gertrude Goodale, Dot Miller and Rose Kroleski were cheerleaders. During the year Ted Bucci and Brewster Faucon left school to enter the Army and Navy, respectively. In December, 1943, the class lost one of its best-loved schoolmates and a brilliant student, Raymond Donahue, in an accident. Raymond will long be remembered by his friends. Spring, 1944, brought the long awaited Senior trip. It was well worth the work and wait, for it was enjoyed by all. Thus comes to a close the last chapter of a wonderful four years in Southold High School. To The Seniors We are sorry to see you go. We are proud of your achievements, grateful for your hearty cooperation, and cherish the friendship which we have enjoyed with you. You have left us a great task, to follow in your footsteps, and hope that we may be as successful in all things as you have been. Seniors, wherever you go, you may know that our affection and best wishes for your future success go with you. Our hope is that we may show ourselves well able to take up where you now leave off. Priscilla Young, President of Junior Class twelve Class Prophecy ere we are in the year 1954! Let us see what the Senior Class of 1944 has contributed to civilization. In order to record these achievements for posterity, Albert Dickerson, who is now star reporter for the Long Island Traveler, has undertaken the task of finding out in what fields of endeavor the class is engaged. After 4 hours in his helicopter he lights in Hollywood. He decides on a tour of Paramount studios. Who could be his guide but Dorothy Kaelin! She shows him around to the set where Kenneth Castor is shooting scenes for “Moon over Bay View” in which Margaret Flynn, a famous actress of this day, is starring. Albert also discovers that David Whipple is now a renowned plastic surgeon for Hollywood stars. One leap of the helicopter and our reporter is in Washington. At a cafeteria he encounters Helen Sawiski. She informs him that she is secretary to Jean Grattan who is now Secretary of the Treasury here. On visiting Jean's office he meats Rear Admiral George Dickerson of the U. S. Navy who has come to inquire about funds for his new flagship, the U. S. S. Southold. Winter has approached! He goes to Florida to escape Jack Frost. Naturally, he goes to a famous resort. Who is its manager but Evelyn McAslan, who specializes in building up the business for such places. Next, Albert hops to Boston. He stops at the Beebe B-B Shot Company, where Bill is busily looking over plans for enlargement of his factory. Eleanor Morris is furiously taking in calls as she is telephone operator there. In a very few minutes we find our reporter in New York, staying at the Waldorf Astoria. He is amazed at the delicious food and learns later that Marie Terry is the hotel’s chief dietitian. No wonder the food was good! In the evening he inquires about the entertainment the hotel has to offer. The result is that he hears Vincent Morris leading his own jazz band, and Alice Kauneckas who is a featured singer of beautiful Hawaiian music. Upon retiring to his room, he picks up a copy of Glamour Magazine. He stares at the cover. Why? Didn’t you know? Gertrude Goodale is its cover girl!! The next evening, he wanders over to the Paramount Theatre. Waiting for the show to start he hears snatches of the conversation around him, and he catches the names of Helene Droscoski and Bill Midgley. The conversationalists say that Helen Droscoski is a second Ginny Simms and that Bill Midgley is Sinatra’s twin. In the stage show Dorothy Miller does her thrilling performance of turning backward somersaults on a tight wire. The following morning he goes to the Medical Center to seek a cure for homesickness. He is directed to the office of a psychiatrist where he finds Margot Schmitt. Margot analyzes his case and he leaves, feeling reassured that he will be cured soon. In the course of their conversation he discovers that Betty Silleck is director of the school of nursing at this hospital. As he is looking through the society column of the Herald Tribune, he learns that Agnes Gadomski, noted leader of Cape Cod society who is married to a famous lieutenant of the Navy, is visiting Rosie Kroleski. Rosie is president of the Soda Jerkers’ Union of the CIO. As a last point of interest Albert stops at the Museum of Natural History. He marvels at the beauty of the stuffed animals and upon inquiring learns that Walter Mengeweit is chief taxidermist there. On the way home Reporter Dickerson stops at Floyd Bennett Field to refuel his helicopter. Suddenly, he sees John Norklun emerge from his transport plane and they greet each other long and loudly. John is known for his many flights around the world as a transport pilot. Simultaneously, they hear a terrific roar as a plane zooms from the horizon. John explains that it is Sid Case, the foremost test pilot of the age. After he has taken off from the airfield, he flies low over the coastline of Long Island Sound. His attention is attracted to a solitary figure behind an easel. He drops down to investigate, and there is John Dawson painting the beautiful landscape. He is a successful artist under contract to the Saturday Evening Post to do its covers. He continues his journey and stops at Peconic which is now a thriving community of 1,000 people. He goes over to the railroad station to pay his regards to Walter Courtenay who is its agent. There he meets John Stankewicz, who is trying to negotiate the renting of 25 freight cars in which to transport the potatoes he has grown on his thousand-acre farm. Back in Southold he is just in time to see Helen Hunter dismiss her flock of kindergarten children. She is now one of Southold High School’s favorite teachers. Finally Albert rises high into the sky to have a lock around. What could that be off to the east there? He decides to find out. Upon coming closer he discovers that it is a bridge under construction between Greenport and Shelter Island. He enters the construction engineer’s office to get the particulars. He really isn’t surprised to find the chief engineer to be John Machinchick, fcr John was always good in mathematics and physics. It seems that this is his first job, since he has spent all of the previous years in universities acquiring degrees! Albert is busy writing about his classmates now. As you can see, they are all woven into the fiber of American civilization and only time can tell to what heights they will eventually rise. thirteen Senior Trip eniors at last! It took a long time but it was worth it. One event during the Senior year that all will look back to is that of the Senior trip. April 11th, on the early morning train, twenty-nine seniors and four chaperons; namely, Mr. Blodgett, Mrs. Cote and Mr. and Mrs. Dart, were en route for New York. Not much excitement occurred on the train except that a few of the girls treated the conductor to some candy every time he walked by them. The travelers arrived at Penn Station shortly before 9:30 and from there they took taxis to the Hotel Victoria. Upon reaching the hotel they were assigned temporary rooms with six to eight to a room, and they were free until noon time. At 12:00 they assembled in the dining room of the hotel, which was called the “Candlelight Room,” and had dinner. That afternoon a guide conducted the Seniors and their chaperons on a tour of Lower New York. They visited the old Treasury Building, Chinatown, the Battery and Wall Street. Twenty-nine of them were supposed to be on the trip, but some urban “rubbernecks” also listened in occasionally and the Southolders were outnumbered. After the tour they went back to the hotel, at which time they were provided with permanent rooms. In the evening they attended the show at Radio Music Hall. Mr. Blodgett spotted two stowaways, who tried to gain entrance with our tickets. They were escorted to the exit! In the show were included a special Easter pageant and also some very funny comedians who did impersonations of famous people, especially Frankie Sinatra. Wednesday morning was spent in a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry. Here, the Seniors saw many interesting exhibits; such as airplanes, how machines work, a history of trains and a model city of the future. You can imagine that Mr. Dart had a field day teaching physics to the boys! Wednesday afternoon was free time with the privilege of doing whatever one desired. Several people, through an invitation, visited the office of Mr. Beach, a summer resident here in Southold. From his office he took them to the Curb Exchange and to the Washington Market as well. Before leaving, Mr. Beach kindly gave them gifts of candy and peanuts. That evening the Seniors went to two broadcasts. The first was “Can You Top This?” Following the broadcast each of them was introduced personally to Senator Ford. At 12 o’clock they saw Frankie Carle and Allan Jones on Red Barber’s show. Some of the class got lost and arrived too late to get seats, with the result that Mr. Blodgett left the show to keep them company. Thursday morning and part of the afternoon was well taken up by the wait for the boat and a short trip to the Statue of Liberty. The trip was an unpleasant one for the water was rough and it was quite windy. At 3:00 in the afternoon the Seniors visited the Hayden Planetarium, which proved of great interest to Mr. Dart’s science students, as well as to the rest. At 11:30 that night, another broadcast, “Death Valley Days”, was taken in. Mr. Dart put one over on the boys by meeting an attractive girl attendant at the door. He refused to disclose his technique. On Friday, the last day, they made a tour of Radio City and saw Barry Wood rehearsing. A group picture was taken of the class on top of the Observation Floor of the RCA Building. The Seniors reluctantly packed their bags early in the afternoon and checked out of the hotel at about 2 o’clock. Most of them took the midafternoon train home. However, some stayed in New York and neighboring places for the weekend. All, though, came home with the feeling that the trip had been worthwhile in every way and that it would be a bright spot in their memories all their lives. fourteen 3he Mill of the QJlaaa of 1344 Jill?

As soon as they came back from Easter vacation, the Juniors met to decide on a Junior Prom. Different committees were appointed to take care of S. H. S. ,5 efore mentioning any activities of the school in this war may we remind you of the former students many of whom are serving in the armed forces and of some who have made the supreme sacrifice. About 185 students who attended Southold High School are now in the armed forces. Moreover, most of the senior boys are planning to enter some branch of the service after graduation. In carrying on various activities the school is doing its utmost, first of all in buying Bonds and Stamps. The students bought $1,481.05 worth of Bonds and Stamps in the 4th War Loan Drive. The total of Bonds and Stamps bought from September 15 through April 26 is $4,512.95. Next, the pupils contributed $43.79 to the Junior Red Cross. The school filled boxes for children in England and for the United States mountain children. There was also a drive for the hospital in Camp Upton. For this the Industrial Arts and Home Economics departments made many useful articles. Many of the students took part in the Class the affair. The Prom was successfully held on Friday, May 19, with George Laub’s orchestra furnishing the music. The Juniors were well represented in all the extra-curricular activities of the school. Also, after vacation, the Juniors began to sell candy. They are looking forward to a busy and successful Senior year. At War Red Cross benefit show, some in the music organizations, some in the plays and others by selling tickets. Some of the girls under Miss Vail’s direction took the Red Cross Home Nursing Course and have rolled bandages on Wednesday evenings. The ‘‘Echo” put out the “Servicemen’s Letter” which the boys in this country and abroad were pleased to receive. The students donated the postage for these letters, and this amounted to a rather large sum, for those going overseas were sent by air mail. Plane spotting was a popular activity until it was discontinued except for one afternoon a week. Some of the boys still cooperate in this work. The high school boys helped load the trucks and freight cars with the scrap paper received in the Paper Salvage Drive. The faculty and pupils of Southold have cooperated unselfishly in all types of effort to help win this war; they have never refused to assist in any project planned for this purpose but have worked whole heartedly. nineteen SOPHOMORE CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS twenty EIGHTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE twenty-one Sophomore Class .The Sophomore Class has been well represented in the field of sports this year.

Frank Sanford, Ellsworth Fisher and James Kane were members of the track team. After reading “Silas Marner” the class saw a movie based on this novel. They also saw a movie on “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Several members of the class were in the band, glee club and on the “Echo” and “Snuff Box” staffs. Others were in the Latin Club and Bachelor’s Club. Freshman Class J7he Freshmen elected officers on May 1st. They are as follows: president, Marjorie McCaffery; vice president, Robert Baker; secretary, Jean New-bold; treasurer, Charles Gagen. The Freshman class was well represented in many fields this year. In basketball a good many of the Junior Varsity were Freshmen and on Eighth inuring the school year the Eighth Grade has accomplished many tasks which have aided the war effort. Besides breaking the record set last year of War Bonds sold, they have donated their spare time on Saturdays and holidays to collect paper and scrap for scrap drives. Their officers, elected early in the year, are: president, Martha Cochran; vice president, Jack McCaffery; secretary, Seventh -- he Seventh Grade has enjoyed its first year as members of Southold Junior High School by changing classes and the addition of new subjects such as Home Economics and Shop. In Social Studies the grade made a detailed study of the early days in Southold and the part this community played in the history of New York State. Early in December Mr. Wayland Jefferson spoke to the class, his topic being “Southold 100 Years Ago.” Maps and graphs were also made to Ping Pong This year’s ping pong tournament was very quickly narrowed down to the two semi-final winners, William Beebe and John Dawson. That these two were very evenly matched was shown by the fact that they had two tie games, one 29-29 and another 32-32. However, John Dawson won the fifth game and became the ping pong champ. Southold had no games with other schools this year. occasion some played with the Varsity. They were also well represented in baseball, some being on the regular team. Some of the Freshman girls have taken a great interest in music this year. In the all-girl dance band ten of the fifteen girls playing are Freshmen. Grade Phyllis Baker; and treasurer, Virginia Lytle. In their art classes they have done many posters on victory gardening, loose talk, and War Bonds, besides doing several cartoons. This summer many members of the grade will help toward victory by working on gardens and farms, thus relieving the manpower shortage. Grade illustrate various phases in this geographical and historical development. The history of improved modes of travel were shown in eight murals completed in art class. December 22 was the date of the Christmas party at which time gifts were exchanged. During the course of the year the Seventh Grade purchased $150 in War Bonds and $90 in War Stamps. The girls in Home Economics class made duffel bags which were given to the Red Cross. Horseshoes Horseshoes this year was started a bit late and most of the games still have to be played. Of the 16 contestants, Steve Swiatocha, Thomas Shalvey, John Norklun and Antone Skwara show the most promise and one of them is likely to become the champ. twenty-two Echo Staff accordance with the customs of the Echo, a new editor, Helen Hunter, was chosen for the second half of the year. She replaced Betty Silleck. The associate editor for the year was Agnes Gadomski. One of the new features of the Echo this year is the “Who is it?” column, which gives the description of pupils and faculty members, with each sketch ending “Who is it?” And in order to keep up with the ranks of our servicemen, an insignia column has been added which describes and illustrates the insignia of the various branches of the armed forces. A fashion column also illustrates how well some of our pupils can think of new “stunts”. One of the greatest things the Echo staff is doing nowadays is publishing a newsletter to our boys in service. The purpose of the “Servicemen’s Letter” is to keep the boys from SHS in touch with the news of their school. Many interesting letters have been received by the staff from all parts of the globe from the fellows telling how much they enjoy the “Servicemen’s Letter”. Helen Hunter, Agnes Gadomski, Betty Silleck, Rose Kroleski, Miss Haweeli and Margot Schmitt were delegates to a press conference at New York University in October. The main event was a talk given by Mary Margaret McBride, noted radio speaker, on her experiences in the journalistic field. After the talk the delegates went to various forums dealing with year-book lay-out, advertising, and other phases of the work connected with school publications. The members of the Echo Staff are: Helen Hunter, Agnes Gadomski, Rose Kroleski, Evelyn McAslan, Betty Silleck, Priscilla Young, John Moffat, Dorothy Young, Joan Newbold, Madeleine Donahue, Ellsworth Fisher, Helen Krukowski, Anne Terry, Lois Price, Richard Castor, Barbara Silleck, Richard Youngs, Eleanor Billard, Berneice Grath-wohl, George Pontino, Cathleen Doroski, Nancy Horton, Jean Newbold, Josephine Terp, Barbara Dickerson, Stella Doroski, John Dawson, Bruno Swiatocha, Robert Rothman, Spencer Petty, Margot Schmitt, Helen Sawiski, Jean Grattan, Vincent Morris, Dorothy Miller, Teresa Sledzieski, Joyce Terry, Barbara Grathwohl and the advisor, Miss Haweeli. Twenty-three Latin Club J atin Club was divided this year, as it has been before, in two groups, Latin I and Latin II. Early in the year Latin I elected the following officers: consuls, Marjorie McCaffery and Robert Goldsmith; quaestor, Emily Kaelin; scribae—notes, Jean Newbold; publicity, Berneice Grathwohl; cenatrix, Joan Albertson. The Latin I Club held a one-dish supper on St. Patrick’s Day. Each member brought a guest to this party. After supper there were games and dancing. Latin II Club elected the following officers: consuls, Betty Silleck and Kenneth Castor; quaestor, Jean Grattan; scribae-notes, Priscilla Young; publicity, Margaret Flynn; cenatrix, Dorothy Miller. Latin II Club held a social to which each member brought a friend. Games, dancing and refreshments combined to make a pleasant evening. The annual initiation of the Latin Club I members took place on May 8 and 9. No one who took part in this event or was a spectator could fail to recall many of the amusing stunts at initiation. Assembly Program J ery welcome indeed to a student is an assembly program, partly because it means skipping a class and because an enjoyable and educational forty-five minute period follows. One of the first assemblies was held this year when “Caveman” Russell Neville told the students of Southold High School of his experiences in his work of exploring caves. He spoke especially of Carlsbad, Mammoth and Saul’s caves. Cave-exploring is not all fun. This work is very dangerous and this was illustrated by Mr. Neville when he mentioned that two friends had died when caves collapsed. Mr. Neville illustrated his talk by showing colored slides of the caves and the famous and beautiful rock formations found in them. In November, Mr. Liu Liang Mo, a Chinese, spoke to the students of the high school and upper grades. Mr. Liu had spent three years with the Chinese army teaching them marching songs. He closed by singing “Chi Lai”, a beautiful Chinese marching song. Mr. Liu urged closer understanding and cooperation between the United States and China, our ally. Early in the year Mr. Barrett Lefferts spoke to the high school boys on seamanship training. This is a new course, not connected with the government in any way, but designed to give boys training in such things as signaling, knot-tying and handling small craft. This knowledge will enable them to advance more quickly when they jcin the Navy or Coast Guard. Classes of this type have been organized in fifteen different states. T wenty-four Mr. Ludwig S. Dale gave an inspiring talk on Russia on December 13. Born in Norway, Mr. Dale came to this country at the age of eighteen. He received his education here, then later returned to Europe as a newspaper reporter. Mr. Dale traced Russia’s history from ancient times, through the various changes and revolutions to the present time. He concluded by commenting on Russia’s position in the post-war world. After this talk the History B and C classes met informally and questions were answered by Mr. Dale on Russia’s position now in the world and the part that she is later expected to play. The Christmas assembly on December 22 was presented by the Latin II Club. Some of the features of this were: a radio skit, “A Comparison of Hitler and Caesar;” a sketch, “A Day without Latin;” songs by the Glee Club; the reading of the Christmas story, and carols sung in Latin and English. Presents were then distributed. The high school and several lower grades saw the movie, “Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, based on Washington Irving’s famous story. Two comedies were also shown, one being a Mickey Mouse movie. On March 22, Mrs. McLaughlin, from Central Islip State Hospital, spoke to the high school girls on nursing. She told the girls what to expect from nursing and what nursing expects of them. The new Cadet Nurse Corps was also explained to the girls. After her talk a movie on nursing was shown and questions were asked. Mr. Lincoln Lippincott of the American Motorists’ Insurance Company spoke to the junior and senior high schools on safety. Mr. Lippincott emphasized making the most of opportunities and considering every school subject as a tool for further use. He spoke of how one’s life can almost be ruined by small incidents due to carelessness. Many of his points were illustrated by telling of his own personal experiences. A movie entitled “Wild Wings” was shown through the courtesy of the Bartramia Club. This included colored pictures of ducks and other water birds, their homes and habits. A movie distributed by the International Harvester Company was presented to the high school. This showed the company’s part in the production of war supplies and the conversion of its factories from peace time to war time production. The Home Making classes have seen many movies this year on such topics as the history of canning, milk, thread making, the manufacture of ice cream, nutrition, wasting foods, fashions and fabrics, and kitchen planning. On April 17, Mr. Jack Morrow spoke to the seventh and eighth grades and high school on the Japanese people’s character. Mr. Morrow has been in the Orient for twenty-five years, sixteen of them spent editing a newspaper in Japan. He explained many Japanese customs and gave personal experiences in illustrating the character of the people. Mr. Morrow claims that Shintoism, the Japanese religion of emperor-worship, is the cause of the toughness and fanaticism of the people, but he believes that the public school system, similar to ours, could wipe this feeling out in time. Mr. Gill of Ryder College spoke to the students on the values of education. He mentioned the names of several Southold students who are now attending or have attended, Ryder College, one being Mr. Williams, the commercial teacher. On April 27, Mr. John J. Rooney of the F. B. I. spoke to the junior and senior girls about the jobs now open to high school graduates in the F. B. I. Many girls are needed to fill positions as clerks, typists and stenographers. The latter two are difficult for girls who have had no previous experience. Mr. Rooney emphasized the point that these jobs are permanent. Three movies on nutrition and the value of a balanced diet were shown to the students of South-old High School on May 3. Special emphasis was put on the use of dairy products in the daily diet. Good health today is essential in getting into the Lervices or maintaining jobs. On May 8, the students saw three movies, “Men against Microbes”, “Safety in the Home” and “Sentinels of Safety”. The former showed man’s progress in combating disease. It traced the discoveries of Pasteur and other scientists in finding the three elements in fighting disease—heat, chemicals and vaccines. The latter two movies concerned the prevention of accidents in the home caused by carelessness. Far more deaths are caused by accidents in the home than on the highway. Opening the 5th War Loan Drive, the grade and high school students were addressed on May 9 by Pvt. Bradley, Sgt. Fellerman and Sgt. Mulroy of the U. S. A. A. F. Pvt. Bradley, acting as master of ceremonies, introduced Sgt. Fellerman who explained the mechanism of the carbine, the latest weapon used by the Army. Sgt. Mulroy spoke informally of his experiences on his bombing missions over Europe and answered the many questions that were asked by the students. The final assembly of the year proved to be the most entertaining. Mr. Harry Welsh, who is the voice of Popeye in the movies, delighted the pupils with his impersonations and sound effects. He sang some amusing songs and did a skit in which he played all the characters. All these assemblies have served to enrich the lives of the students here, for they give the pupils a glimpse into lives and countries very different from their own, and thus broaden their viewpoints. twenty-five GLEE CLUB BAND twenty-six Glee Club first appearance of the Glee Club was at a concert given on December 21. They also rendered selections at the Cutchogue Methodist Church and the Southold Presbyterian Church during the Christmas season.

Band y ation-wide publicity was given the music organizations oi the school this year when an article about them was published in the March issue of “The High School Musician.” The article, describing the music work in Southold High School, was written by Mr. Darryl E. Mooney, director of music. The Southold High School Band made its first appearance in September when it marched for the Bond Rally. They gave a concert at the school on December 21st. Also in December they played tor the high school Christmas party. They took part on March 31 in the community benefit show for the Red Cross. A big event took place in May when the Band played a spring concert at the Cutchogue Methodist Church. They marched in the Memorial Day parade at Mattituck, also. The band is playing for graduation, and in the summer this group Dance he Dance Band is composed of School musicians interested in music and directed by Mr. Mooney. They practiced after school, usually, and acquired a good measure of skill in this work. The Dance Band played for the school party in March. The members of the Dance Band are: Joan will give concerts at the Southold Fire House. The members of the band are: Joan Albertson, Joan Rothman, Dorothy Young, Margaret Neary, Priscilla Young, Jean Newbold, Olive Davison, Verna Petty, Dick Van Duzer, Dick Wirth, Marie Donahue, Joan Dewar, Ellsworth Fisher, Cathleen Doroski, Joyce Terry, Frank Diller, James Kane, Carol Bergen, Betty Silleck, Barbara Silleck, Virgina Lytle, Cynthia Knight, Emily Kaelin, Susan Knight, Arthur Youngs, Donald Young and George Zuydhock.

With one or two exceptions, the boys played a consistently high grade of basketball. Injuries and sickness were factors which kept the team from being at full strength all the time but the season’s record of 13 wins and 4 losses speaks for itself, especially since 7 of the 13 victories were against Class A. high schools. The usual starting line-up was as follows: R. F., George Dickerson (Capt.); L. F., Albert Dickerson; C., John Machinchick; L. G., John Norklun; R. G., Walter Courtenay. Antone Skwara started the season as a regular guard but injuries kept him from being a regular after the first game. Carlisle Cochran and Thomas Shalvey, both of whom saw service in several games, did fine work in the forward positions. Sidney Case was on hand at all times as a valuable substitute and got into several games. Shalvey was used at guard position after the first Southampton game in which Norklun broke a bone in his foot and was kept out for the balance of the season. Many of Southold’s games were won by large margins usually established during the first half. After the boys had gained a comfortable lead, “Goldie” used his subs wherever possible. Machinchick was the highest individual scorer with an even 200 points for the season. Albert Dickerson was second with a total of 168 and George Dickerson’s 115 was third. These figures tell the story of Southold’s scoring. Norklun and Courtenay, both over six feet tall, were able to gain possession of the ball for South-old a greater part of the time and this factor proved a great help. With the exception of Skwara, all the regulars are Seniors and ordinarily the team would lose all of them through graduation. At present Norklun and Courtenay plan to continue their studies here next year. With these two as a nucleus, “Goldie” hopes to have another formidable combination for next season. Games were played with Greenport, Riverhead, Southampton, Eastport, Mattituck, Hampton Bays and Bridgehampton. Southold also played extra games with some of the nearer schools. The Junior Varsity did very well in winning many of their games. They played well considering the fact that this was the first time many of them had participated in games other than intramurals. The starting squad usually was taken from the following: Charles Gagen, Charles Turner, Carlisle Cochran, Frank Sanford, Tom Shalvey, Dudley Newbold, Spencer Petty, Robert Rothman and Roger Grattan. Other members of the Junior Varsity were: Bob Baker, Frank Diller and Dick Wirth. Boys' Intramurals tarting immediately after Christmas vacation, boys’ intramural basketball began in the gymnasium during the noon hour. Referees were: John Norklun, Antone Skwara, Walter Courtenay, George Dickerson and Charles Gagen. The games were held under Coach “Goldie’s” supervision. Teams of the high school group were: Tigers (Champions): John Stankewicz (Capt.), Bill Bor-kowski, Joe Papurca, Herbert Fisher, Dick Youngs, Antone Rysko, Buddy Bedell and Don Case. Lions: Bob Goldsmith (Capt.), James Kane, Raymond Annabel, Bob Olsson, Harold Walters, Donald Young, Bernard Shalvey and George Jarusiewic. Red Wings: John Blados (Capt.), Bruno Swiatocha, Bill Grigonis, John Burkhardt, Victor Cherry, Harold Young and Raymond Kos. Teams played five-minute quarters with two groups alternating their quarters. Boys on the Varsity and Junior Varsity were not allowed to play because “Goldie” wants these games for those who have no other chance to play basketball. Some of the high school group showed much ability, while around 12 boys of the 6-7-8 grade group showed promise of seeing duty on the varsities in the future. The games were hotly contested and were close, especially in the junior group where 6 tie-games were played to determine the championship. Teams participating in the junior group were: Wildcats (Champions): Chet Albertson, Walter Blados, Antone Gajeski, George Kaelin, Earl Over-ton, Allen Ovisanik (Capt.), John Polywoda, Louis Walters. Eagles: Allen Dickerson, Charles Hunter, Bernard Gagen (Capt.), Alfred Goldsmith, Jim Kaelin, Jack McCaffery, Dick Van Duzer and Dick Purcell. Wolves: Joe Aksten, Gerard Dickerson (Capt.), Paul Cassidy, Jackie Gagen, Philip Horton, Donald Miller, Alfred Sanford and Joe Sawiski. Standing of teams at the end of season: JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Won Lost Wildcats 14 6 Eagles 11 9 Wolves 5 15 HIGH SCHOOL Tigers 15 5 Lions 12 8 Red Wings 3 17 twenty • nine Baseball year, like last year, the baseball squad was handicapped by lack of transportation and thus the schedule was curtailed. However, a schedule of six games was arranged with River-head, Greenport and Mattituck, and the team buckled down to hard work. “Goldie” finally chose a team which was evenly balanced between veterans and novices. It consisted of Joe Papurca, pitcher; George Dickerson and William Borkowski, catchers; Walter Courtenay, 1st; John Machinchick, 2nd; Carlisle Cochran, 3rd; Charles Gagen, ss; and John Norklun, John Stankewicz, Thomas Shalvey and Steve Swiatocha, outfielders. Joe Papurca shows promise as a real pitcher and he is eager to learn. In case of trouble, “Pep” Cochran can relieve him and Joe can go on third. The team has played two games to date. It first had a practice tussle with Greenport and hit freely for nine runs. “Pep” and Joe held Greenport scoreless. Both sides had valuable practice under fire and it helped the two coaches in making their final choices for the various positions. On May 12 the squad won the opener at Mattituck by the score of 5-3. In the last of the second, Mattituck scored 3 runs by virtue of two South-old miscues, a walk and 2 hits. Southold im- mediately retaliated with 3 runs on a single and 3 straight doubles. In the first of the seventh, Southold scored the 2 winning runs by 3 hits and a walk. Even though Demchuk pitched good ball for Mattituck, he was hit hard and often. Joe was stingy with the hits, allowing but four, while showing a remarkable coolness under fire for a rookie. The squad next traveled to Riverhead and was defeated in a weird game, 11 to 10. Even though Joe pitched good ball, sloppy playing afield allowed 6 unearned runs to cross. S. H. S. knocked out Grodski in a five-run inning, but it was not enough to win as 2 runs in the 7th won for River-head. The team has its next three games at home and the last game at Greenport. Next year “Goldie” will have to find replacements for catcher, first and second bases and two outfield positions because of graduation losses. However, Bill Burkowski shows promise at the backstop position and he and Joe will make one of the finest batteries in years. The other positions may be filled from other candidates, some of whom are: Antone Rysko, Charles Turner, Bob Olsson, Dudley Newbold and Frank Diller. Track ynterest in track this year has been fairly keen with the result that Mr. Dart has had many men from whom to pick his contestants. However, due to lack of transportation, many had to be left home from distant meets. On April 26, an 880-yard relay team composed of George Dickerson, John Machinchick, Antone Skwara, Walter Courtenay and John Stankewicz finished third at the relay meet at Patchogue. On May 6 the whole team traveled to Greenport to compete against Riverhead, Westhampton, and Greenport. Southold did well here, scoring eleven points. They were scored as follows: 100 yard—3rd—Walter Courtenay 220 yard—3rd—Antone Skwara 100 yard—4th—Antone Skwara 880 yard—3rd—John Machinchick Shot Put—3rd—James Rich 880 yard relay—3rd—Walter Courtenay, Antone Skwara, James Kane, and Robert Goldsmith. At the Eastern Suffolk County Meet at Westhampton the team did well against strong competition, bringing home 9 points. 220 yard—3rd—George Dickerson 880 yard—3rd—John Machinchick 880 yard relay—1st—Antone Skwara, Albert Dickerson, Walter Courtenay, and George Dickerson. The team will participate in one more dual meet with Greenport. Girls' Intramurals he organization of girls’ basketball teams early in February proved to be successful. Miss Costello’s and Miss Vail’s physical education classes were divided into four teams which opposed each other. Helen Sawiski and Jean Dickerson were chosen captains of Miss Vail’s teams. The captains of Miss Costello’s teams were Helen Hunter and Barbara Dickerson. Twice a week the gym was crowded with students as the girls battled their opponents. The girls showed great interest and talent in the game. No doubt girls’ intramurals will prove even more important next year, judging by their popularity this year. thirty Alumni Notes CLASS OF 1942 Gene Horton .................................... U. S.

We feel utterly at a loss to make any comment or confer praise, for these are meaningless when one has given his “most and best” for us. Our only hope is that mankind will grow to that spiritual stature that never again shall the world require such great sacrifices. We here and now pay tribute to all the rest of Southold High School’s sons and daughters who are in the United States Armed Forces. We must pledge to them, who bear the sharp edge of conflict, that we will do our best that their sacrifices and work shall not be in vain. Thirty-two (u to a rapfis .
