Press Club he Press Club staff has been on a literal all-work-and-no play schedule this year. There has been nothing social about it, the staff has worked hard to put out the Echo and the Snuff Box. During the winter there were frequent meetings of the entire group in the library to discuss and plan for the next issues. The pupils of the lower grades have contributed considerable material for the Echo and they have also been periodic buyers of the paper. We would like to thank especially Marge Mc-Caffery, Editor-in-Chief, for her diligence and perserverence at her job; and Jean Boergesson, who has done most of the art work all year long, and who has done a wonderful job at it. Though there has been a degree of work attached to it, we have all thoroughly enjoyed being able to help out, and we hope that next years staff will have as much fun. Camera Club his year the Camera Club got off to a late start, but when the first meeting was held, there were quite a few enthusiastic “photo bugs” present. Officers elected at the first meeting were as follows: President - Harlan Chase; Vice-Presi- dent - Bud Hunter; Secretary-Treasurer - Barbara Pulese. The purpose of this club is to teach to the members the different phases of photography, not only the taking of the pictures, but the developing and printing of them. The instructions are given under the supervision of Mr. Dart. At each meeting a different phase of photography is covered and explained by a club member. There was such a late start there were few meetings, but activities consisted of sponsoring the Photo Contest and getting “snaps” for the Snuff Box. The Club wishes to thank Mr. Rothman for his contribution of gifts for the Photo Contest. The members of the camera club are as follows: Rose Norklun, Joan Cassidy, Charles Kar-sten, Clotilde Karsten, Meryle Newbold, Bobby Cochran, Barbara Pulese, Stanley Dickseski, Frank Diller, Margaret Neary, Harlan Chase, Jack Donahue, Jack McCaffery, George Kaelin, Jimmy Kaelin, Ed Lademann, Gerry Bradnick, Tom O’Dell, Paul Carroza, Chip Hunter, Art Youngs, Newton Concepcion, A1 Sanford, Martha Cochran, Muriel Mullen, Sue Knight and Frank Dickseski. twenty-seven

Basketball - Varsity outhold’s Basketball Team, having lost two key men through graduation, started the season with only four lettermen. Of the four, Goldie had only two, Beebe and Gagen, who had played regularly on the Varsity. Baker and Diller had appeared in a few games the year before, but most of their good work was with the Junior Varsity. Dick Youngs was chosen as Manager and Chucksy Gagen was elected Captain. The record for the season, although not impressive as such, showed Southold to be no pushover for any team. The Varsity won 7 and lost 8 of its 15 regularly scheduled league games. Southold scored 552 points to their opponents’ 425. Six of the games lost were dropped by 6 points or less. The team played hard, clean basketball and, as usual, were a credit to themselves and the school. There was no individual star on the squad. Beebe and Shalvey were top scorers, while Cap’t. Gagen and Ekster took care of the defense. Hunter saw considerable service and should prove to be- come an excellent passer and scorer next year. Baker and Diller, the two smallest men on the team, saw action in several games and could always be counted on to give all they had. In the Southampton game and the contest at Hampton Bays, Baker was especially impressive. Bob Goldsmith, Harlan Chase, and Bernie Gagen did excellent work whenever the regular guards needed help. Playing his first year as a freshman and making the Varsity gives promise that Bernie should be an excellent player in the three years to come. Through graduation we lose Cap’t. Gagen, Bernie Shalvey, Bob Goldsmith, Bob Baker, Frank Diller and Harlan Chase. To fill their places, we have Bernie Gagen, Earle Overton, Antone Gajeski, Frank Dickseski, Jack Gagen, Phil Horton, A1 Sanford, Allen Beebe and Newton Concepcion, all of whom did great work on the Junior Varsity team. With Beebe, Hunter, and Ekster as a nucleus, and Goldie at the helm, SHS should have a very formidable team for the 1947 - 48 season. twenty- nine
