AA, , K '15 DL jvhu Wuucssy The class of '50 regrets that it had such a short time to become acquainted with our Superintendent of Schools. We all owe a debt of gratitude and thanks to him for the things he did for us. He has worked very hard in our behalf in the time that he has been here. The Class of '50 will not forget him. . 7 f Cylctw I f'4 LfL4fl4J ' 03:1-f 4-'fl' ' ' X961- Grcefings C0 U16 Senior 676155 One of the many pleasant duties of a High School Principal is to arrange for the commencement exercises for each graduating class and yet it always seems to he tinged with a little note of sadness and regret. It should be an occasion for real happiness and joy for the completion of a job well done. Still, I always feel as though the four years have flown all too quickly, and I wonder if there wasn't more that I could have done for each of you. Of course, in your case, I had only one year in which to become acquainted with you and I regret to admit that there are a number of you whom I hardly know. However, all of you have my sincere wishes for a prosperous, happy and successful life whatever your choice for the future may be. To you, the class of 1950, God-Speed and Happiness, always.

Could we possibly invent a machine that would turn back the pages of our school years? Would you care to see? Into focus of our reverse crystal ball comes the year 1946. The year was one of confusion which we spent idolizing those wonderful seniors and wondering when those four long years would pass. What's this? It's gradu- ation exercises and Ann Ezzo was awarded the Good Citi- zenship Prize, Madeline Grell copped the Home Econ- omics Prize while Helen Poletti received the Sewing Prize. Donald Wilcox took two awards, Elementary Algebra and General Science as john Musa topped us all with three, High Scholarship, United Nations Contest and the Essay on Long Island's Contributions to America's Greatness. I guess we will always remember Miss Annus' English Classes and Mr. Bergstein. Turning the second of our four knobs on this machine, we see our sophomore year, 1947. Our leaders were be- ginning to come forth. By now we knew the ropes and began to be outstanding in studies and athletics. john Musa, Elizabeth Olsen, Donald Wilcox and Andrew Pouring were all outstanding scholastically. Elaine Bun- dow, Ruth Wilkens, Pat Eaton and Joan Annison were on V. cheering while Carol Matteson made Varsity cheering. jerry Coan, john Suppa and Willie Ellinger made foot-- ball teams. Willie and john were also on the wrestling squad with George Schaller. We were represented in J.V. basketball and track teams also. The girl's hockey, volley- ball, basketball and softball teams were really beginning to show promise. Our junior year, the year 1949, is the dial No. 3 on our new invention. Three homerooms come into view as we focus the screen. Miss Simmonds 502, Mr. Power and Mr. Lopez 316, and Mr. Doyle 309. The first time we really had a feeling of unity was at our first class meet- ing. john Musa was elected president, Andrew Pouring vice-president, Carol Matteson secretary and Alan Karp treasurer. We were now next to the top! Madeline Grell became secretary of Student Council and Alan Karp treas- urer. Helen Poletti was voted president of the Red Cross council. In the athletic field Joan Annison, Elaine Bun- dow and Carol Matteson were on Varsity cheerleading as Pat Eaton, Ann Ezzo and Frannie Delle Donne and Lilly Kraus made V. cheering squad. From the athletic field we go to the gym. The gym looks quite different . . . and john Musa is running around for this and that. You guessed it, our Junior Prom. The best ever , as we see it. The Secrets of Atlantis was the theme and Queen Marion Flotow sat under a pink shell while her atten- dants Carol Matteson and Barbara VanTassell sat nearby. From the gym we go to the auditorium. It's graduation. juniors who received prizes were Lilly Kraus, High Scholarship and second prize in American Institutions, Roger Opdahl, Mechanical Drawing prize, Donald Wil- cox, highest grade in junior-Senior group was awarded the first prize in the Ladies' Auxiliary Veterans of For- eign Wars Essay, Rose Simonetta received the Homemak- ing prize. As we turn our last dial, with regret we look at our last year of school. We had our fun and worked this year too. john Musa as president of Student Council and Alan Karp as vice-president carried out an active program which included being accepted by the National Honor Society, and a G.O. card for the whole sports year. The school paper, The Dalers' 'Skyline , had a good year also. They had advertising for the first time. john Musa was the competent editor-in-chief, Marion Flotow, news editor, feature editor, Elaine Bundow, sports editor, Carol Matteson, exchange manager, Madeline Grell, circulation manager, Pat Burren, and business manager, Lilly Kraus. From 102, the workroom of the paper, we enter the library, where Barbara VanTassell, president of the Library Club reigns. Along with Miss Everitt this group keeps the library in order. From the library we go into the auditorium. Donald Wilcox, president of the Band, Joan Annison, president of Girls' Chorus, and Ann Jacobs, drum majorette are in a lengthly discussion with Mr. Erlanson about the use of the stage. From the first floor we climb the stairs to the second, and third where the year book staff made up of editor, Madeline Grell, assistant editor, Lilly Kraus, business manager, Barbara VanTassell, and assistant business manager, Andrew Pouring, have worked hard over our baby . From there we go into the biology lab where Marilyn Wilhelm has the Biology Club in a lengthy dis- cussion. This year Helen Poletti was elected president of the junior Red Cross. She was president last year too. Marion Flotow, president of the Dramatic Club, also worked hard. The Y-Teens were headed by president jo Badalamenti and secretary Barbara VanTassell, and the Cafeteria Club was headed by Beverly Bendell and vice- president Dorothy Bueltman. The scene changes to the gym which is filled with girls and boys. joan Kunz, president of Girls' Leaders Club, Frances Wegener, secretary, and Ruth Wilkens, treasurer, are in a huddle, while john Suppa, president of Boys' Leaders Club is vainly trying to explain something. From the gym our machine takes us back to the auditorium. The Senior play, The Fighting Littles was terrific! That is, WE think it was, Evelyn Dunn played the teenage lead Goody, john Musa and Madeline Thompson, her par- fl K- J, l..l .ll X .. lil ents, are hosts to Goody's southern girl friend, Henriette, very well played by Doris Barry. Andy Pouring played Goody's boyfriend, Ham Ellers, while Jerry Nelson is Norman Peel, his rival for Goody's affections. Others were Lenny Rickard as Filmer, Goody's brother, Olita, played by Gladys Foulkes as their old maid auntg Ann Saborese as Antoinette, and Pat Burren as Almatina, the colored maid. Others in the cast were Barbara Van- Tassell, Dorothy Bueltman, Carol Matteson and Elaine Bundow. The end of our school year has come. At graduation we all will go our separate ways, maybe to other schools or to work but one thing we'll always remember is our four years in Farmingdale High School. 5 f f xx Q. l - f f 37 A ZX dass Prophecy Last call, last call. All aboard for a tour of the class of 1950. As we ride in our touring bus we see Ann Ezzo and Florence Hunter leave their Park Avenue penthouse apartments for their respective dental offices. Further down we pass the Paramount Theater which is now fea- turing Julie Schneidkraut and the millionaire hot rod manufacturer Tommy Ahern in Daddio . The owner of the Paramount is Paul Victor who has had plenty of movie experience. Duck!! There's a shower of bullets as patrolmen George Schaller and Jerry Coan, followed in hot pursuit by private eye Bob Koehl, chase a pickpocket down Broadway, Business executive Ising Sheh is oblivious to the excitement. There are noises coming from Stan joseph's School of Pugilistics where wrestling coach Richie Kaufman is giv- ing singing lessons along with wrestling lessons. He has a new theory, instead of moaning and groaning he sings. But what is that screeching coming from that expensive studio over there? Why its only one of Joan Annison's pupils distinguishing the different baby cries. joan is running a school for babysitters. Passing the Village Vanguard we hear the music of Johnny Citrano's Hotshots and who do we recog- nize as the owner? None other than Willy Ellinger- the famous multi-millionaire benefactor of 'the famous Ellinger Clinic. Have you heard of the good work our laboratory technicians Barbara Valda, Elaine Bundow, and Lilly Kraus are doing there? Not to mention head chemists joan DeLeRee1and Roger Squire. Elmer Ding- man is there too, and he's done much in chemical re- search with the aid of physicist Jerry Nelson and phar- macist Florence Innis. As we pass the Conover model agency, we see the famous blonde models, Gerri Perkins and Pat Eaton hurrying to Penn Station to catch their trains back to Farmingdale and Patchogue respectively. Gerri can't de- cide whether she likes modeling or Alan Karp's fertiliz- ing business better. We think there's a little more glam- our in modeling than in throwing fertilizer - how 'bout that? A small convertible coupe just passed us and gee whiz -it's Doris Barry and Jo Badalamenti finally taking their tour of the country. And speaking of tours how about that travel agency that Liz Olsen and Helen and Florence Poletti have opened-they offer special trips to Norway and Switzerland but, Beverly Bendel and Rose Diamond have decided to go around the world. Head bookkeeper is Yolanda Pizzuti and stenographer for this bustling business is Pat Burren, who we hear is engaged to a doctor. We wouldn't mention any names but Augie Schwenk has a fine reputation as an M.D. Did you know that Doctor Madeline Thompson fMrs. joel 0'Haynej is head of the nursing school founded by Marge McDougall. Margie is a Mrs. now and a mother of five as well. On Marge's hospital staff can be found such competent nurses as Dot Bueltman, Barbara jean Post, Muriel Brogden, and Gladys Foulkes. Barbara Van Tassell trained there but she's nursing upstate at the present time. Ruth Wilkens, Rose Simonetta, and Carol Matteson are going into Macy's. Ruth and Rose are head buyers there now and Carol is chief fashion designer. There's that attractive bachlorette, Dorris Wohr- Dorris owns a very exclusive beauty salon on Fifth Ave- nue. Right now she's lunching with Marilyn Wilhelm, founder of the business school for the healthy rich! In Marilyn's business school, quite a few of her old friends are employed. Head of the secretarial department is Fran Wegener, with Elaine Moesch, Hannah Brown and Angela Ciaccio as her assistants. Mary Cardone is secretary for Dorris Wohr. Over at Eastern Air Lines, a plane is being warmed up for a special trip to Washington. Famous politician Madeline Grell is on her way to make a speech in Con- gress. With her is N. Y. Times reporter Evelyn Dunne. Did you know Evelyn had aspirations towards Congress? Pilot and co-pilot are Richie DeLalio and Donald Braun, respectively. Hostess Margie Esler is making last minute checkups. What's that peculiar contraption that's holding up traffic on the corner of 42nd. Street and Times Square? Why it's Marty Faeger with his famous i'Fagermobile. That carf?j is patented now and no one can invent an- other like it. Among the group of interested spectators are some servicemen -look at Lt's. Lenny Rickard and Dick Koetzner of the U.S. Navy, Lt. Elwin Reichert of the Navy Air Force and they're all escorting that- cute W.A.A.C., Grace Murphy around town. Down that side street is the big trucking concern of Eric Rathgeber. It's known around N. Y. that his private oflice is out of this world. It was exclusively designed by Anne Sabarese and Fran Delle Donne. Eric's private secretary is Rose Noto who has a competent office force consisting of Marilyn Schwab, julia Fling, Rose Rise- lavto, Ginny Strength, Lorraine Thorne, and Lillian Tiedemann. On Park Avenue once again, we see Donald Wilcox of the Atomic Energy Commission step into his Cadillac. At the Chemical engineering office of Andy Pouring, there seems to be a little confusion, no electricity - but Tony Sciuto, the electrician, who works for George Holz- macher 8: Co., electrical contractors, is on his way over to throw a little light on the situation. Remember Louise Hart? Well we can all be very proud of her. She finally made the grade as a top flight singer at the Met . In Washington D. C. Ambassador John Musa, is leav- ing on his 'round the world peace flight. He's taking his two interpreters with him - Lotty Remmler and Sally Liebowitz. The Yankees really have a good team this year and it's no wonder with Al Ratto as a manager. Not to mention a former F. H. S. student as a pitcher. Marion Flotow can be seen daily in the grandstand at the stadium since Norman Shatzel is that certain pitcher. Wedding bells will be ringing very soon, or so we're led to understand. 38 Down in the village, Jimmy Maher is really quite well-known as The Esquire Artist . You never know what jimmy is going to do- next. Florence Burford is doing very well painting portraits and sponsoring museum exhibitions. Do you know why Columbia's track team is so good this year? Look who's coaching it - jack Delaney! It's a good thing betting was made legal because jean DeI.eRee and Margie Burg are running a thriving busi- ness for themselves at jamaica. Look at the headlines on that paper - Bob McFar- lane makes first trip to the moon. Bob always did have his head in the clouds. We always knew we had smart friends but we didn't know that johnny Rocks was chief chemist at Westing- house. Little did the teachers ever think when Roger Opdahl used to play chess in the back of homeroom that one day he'd be chess champion of the U. S. We've decided to head the bus towards Farmingdale to see what's going on out there. But before we go here comes that traveling booksalesman Billy Mac- Donald selling a copy of june Fowler's latest book The Day I Graduated or My Escape from Prison . Oh! Look, we're passing Freeport stadium and there's stock car driver Victory Mulvey warming up for to- night's race. As we go through Bethpage, Mayor Mike Sciuto is at the R. R. station making a campaign speech. Mike tells us that Benny Zuk is doing well over at Grumman' as head machinist. And look at that Chevrolet Agency Bob Krause owns. Up at the State Park, we see Phil McGunnigle is still running the Pro Shop and half of the State Park, too. Phil Schmitt really has a beautiful vegetable farm, doesn't he? And Burt Lowatsky's dairy farm is fine too. PM Bethpage has its own phone company now. Roberta Littman is personal manager. Veterinarian Rolf Huebner is doing very well. Look who's head man at Broadhollow Farms-Wilfred Koster. Guess he'll be buying' them out soon. Bob Ovens has taken over the Wooly West- he's a cattle rancher in Wyoming now. I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it. Do you see who's jerking sodas at the Avalon - Gloria Podsiadlo. The Avalon was never like that before. The town doesn't look the same. It's not Weber's Delicates- sen anymore- Frank Stokes owns it lock, stock, and barrel. They always say that if you work somewhere long enough, you'll eventually get ahead. What's that appetizing odor coming from the Aggie Campus? Oh - Jeanne Ewing is chef up there now. Let's stop in at F. H. S. for a few minutes to see if johnny Suppa and joan Kunz have teams as good as we had back in school. Mrs. Talmage is lucky to have Anne Jacobs as a secretary. Anne spent most of her H. S. years working in the main oiiice. That eligible bachelor, Dave Floyd, is still wandering around. Quite a few of the girls are just plain homebodies. joan Bowman and Don have built their little bungalow for two in New Jersey. Rose Boyle has set up house- keeping with Artie, and Pat is just waiting for Carol Marcheschi to name the day. The Acorn is still the popular place - especially since Jules Elmen and his band are playing there. jules went to Kings Point, but his music still interests him. And so ends the Class Prophecy for 1950. The bus is heading back towards New York. The Class of '50 had a mission to accomplish, and as we have seen on this trip, they have accomplished it - that of making a success of their lives. x. 5' f f sm AW T: .4 ff? p j gig! al 'il X .L .Q . wf M ,l J ., '- w 1 ' !
