Class History J n a beautiful early autumn day in September, 1940, fifty pupils started their freshman year, filled with pride and excitement. 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
