rru-: Jorword It’s always wise to look to the future; but at the same time one likes to remember pleasant experiences from the past. In order to help the graduate recall his high school days, we, the class of 1950, are presenting this annual. In it we have tried to duplicate both in words and in pictures, the many ac- tivities that have helped to make our high school life a pleasant one and one that we will always cherish. We sincerely hope that our efforts have not been in vain.

As Freshmen, we were not easily broken into the life of changing classes. We found it hard to believe that room 105 was on the third floor, but it was consoling to be assured by upper classmen that we Freshmen were to be given the coveted balcony scats in the auditorium. The February of that memorable year found us giving our first assembly. It was the first time in many years that Freshmen had found the courage to perform in front of upper classmen. The skits, “When Shake- speare’s Ladies Meet,” and “Who Got The Job?,” were somewhat of a prophecy of what was to be expected from us in later years. All too soon, our year of experiences was over and Sophomore year was upon us. Mr. Vassilew, new to our World History department that year, was the first to receive our most original means of teacher initiation. Our class organized, and elected Joan Reiss, presi- dent; Gerald Finn, vice-president; Sheila Wylie, secre- tray; and Paul Albanesc, treasurer. We promptly spon- sored a cake sale, the dividends of which were the first deposits in our treasury. Again, students in our class lent their talents to a Christmas cantata, “Glad Tidings of Great Joy.” Their participation added to their stage experience which would come in handy in the Senior play. Junior year dawned on us with large promises of success: and undaunted, we went right to work. A new bracket of class officers was elected with Gerald Fitz- gerald, president; Frank Franzesc, vice-president; Ger- aldine Foglia, secretary and Paul Albanese, treasurer. Since we had a yearbook to publish in 1950, we became very money conscious. We sold school banners, shields, and held a cake sale, while Paul tried, sometimes in vain, to collect class dues. The ambitious attitude presented by the class of ’49 was willed to us in the form of traditional setting. The Juniors sponsored a contest in which a school em- blem was to be drawn. Richard Kowalchuk, a Junior, created the winning emblem. The design was to be used on our school flag, stationery, and most important, our Senior rings. Plans for a yearbook were formulated in early Feb- ruary, and by the end of May, Bill Tatem was elected editor; Mary Ann Pacholik, literary editor; Nancy Langston, layout editor; Joan Reiss, art editor; Ronald Vogelbach, photography editor; and John Wilson, business manager. The National Honor Society was initiated during this year. The majority of the members were students from the class of 1949, but five Juniors succeeded in making the grade. Louise Bradley, Martha Jane Edgar, Ruth Ellenbroek, Wesley Jurgens, Josephine Bruckner, Mary Ann Roush, Martha Smiles, Constance Soulias, Eleanor Tobin, and Jacqueline Ziano were the Seniors of ’49 elected, wdiile Joseph Clinton, Geraldine Foglia, Mary Ann Pacholik, Virginia Suarez and William Tatem made up the Junior roster. Gail Rainey did her bit to add to Junior prestige by holding the office of Student Council vice-president. Fortunately, our class activities didn’t consist of all work and no play. The evening of June 4tli found the high school gym transformed into a starlit garden. Soft lights, dreamy music, and the smooth rustle of evening dresses made it a night to remember. The highlight of the evening came with a lilting song by Caroline Capozzoli, our class nightingale. The end of our Junior year was climaxed by our presentation of the ’49 class prophecy on Senior Class Night. The skit, written by Anita Perotti and Bill Tatem proved to be a success, yet to be equaled. Our dream of being Seniors finally became a reality. We set to work, this year, a little more wiser and ex- perienced in the problems of class government. The class organized and Frank Franzese, who had acted as Junior class president since the departure of Gerald Fitzgerald in February, was again elected president, Paul Albanese was elected vice-president; Geraldine Foglia, secretary; and Joseph Clinton, treasurer. In the early part of October, our Senior rings arrived. This was a great day, for the design of our ring would hereafter be used by all succeeding Senior classes. Several members of the class became prominent in school activities. Anita Perotti was appointed editor of the Whisp with Barbara Pegusky, Mary Ann Pacho- lik, and Roberta Hahn, a Junior, assisting; Virginia Suarez was elected president of the G. A. A.; Caroline 36 Capozzoli and Sheila Wylie were elected members of the cheering squad; while Student Council was run- ning efficiently with Bill Titus as president. With a goal of the Wing and Spur staring us in the face, our class started various selling campaigns to pro- cure financial aid for our treasury. The items included hook covers, car plates, class pins, and Christmas cards. Unfortunately some of our best intentions went astray and we lost more pride than money. Everyone will well remember our Senior Play, Dear Ruth, performed on December first and third. We found so much undiscovered talent within the class, that double casts were decided upon. Our star per- former turned out to be Dave Feron, who brought down the house with his black-eye and mustache interpreta- tion of “Albert.” Stella Daguerre and Jean Saur also shone as “Dora,” the maid, while they put shoes on all God’s children. Many Seniors now answered the call of the Student Patrol. Although being stationed on the third and second floor rear became somewhat confusing to us, we have survived the life of laws, “Stay to the right.” Service Club was formed this year to give recognition to those students who have given service in other fields besides sports. Joseph Clinton was chosen its first president, while Joanne Ellison, Mary Ann' Pacbolik, Gail Rainey, Joan Reiss, Anita Perotti, and Barbara Pegusky were enthusiastic Seniors. Our farewell to our school was brought to a climax at the Senior Ball, held on April 12. Again, and per- haps for the last time, we put aside our own desires, and became one of the few outgoing classes to hold our ball in the school gym. It looked beautiful. It shall always he a lasting memory to all of us. Now that all our activities are finished, our minds are turned to thoughts of colleges, business schools, jobs, and what ever each of us wishes to do. The walk up the aisle on graduation night is slow and very sad indeed. As we sit in the auditorium, we shall think over our four years in school and wonder what our new life will be like. Written by: Anita Perotti Sheila Wylie Student Patrol Sponsored by the Student Council, the Student Patrol is an organization which keeps traffic running smoothly and orderly to and from classes in corridors and on the stairs. The members of the Patrol are all Seniors. 37 junior Prom Md Senior Pall The date, June 4, 1949, will always bring to mind of the Class of ’50, their Junior Prom. Much of the success of this event was undoubtedly due to the excellent job of transforming the gym into a Starlit Terrace for a gay and exciting evening. As a climax to four years in high school the class held the annual Senior Ball. The event, which marked the height of class social events, was held on April 12, 1950, in a beautifully decorated gym. Few' seniors will forget the memorable evening. 38 Class of ‘50 Ceaves We, the class of 1950, being in a practically unques- tionable state of insanity, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, thereby intending to dispose of all the properties and attributes of which we may be possessed at the time of our graduation: VIRGINIA ABBATIELLO leaves her girlish blushes.

(Cont. on page 76) The future — that unexplainable sequence to our present lives. We would like to predict a future for the class of 1950, a future full of excitment, romance, and adventure. Come with us on a trip to the outer realm of the stratosphere, to Mars, in the year 1965. The space ship, designed by Richie Fastenau, leaves Toodles Bologna’s rocket station in fifteen minutes. Let’s go! As the rocket glides softly through space, we are de- lighted to find that Toodles’ Company employs a com- plete floor show. Caroline Capozzoli is the singing stewardess, while Ted Black’s “50 Famous Rockettcs” perform an intricate routine designed by Rita Rutig- liano. The interior of the rocket contains all the comforts of home, and in the lounge, we find Madame Juliana Iadevaia, creator of many fetching Venus originals. Jule has just completed the organization of nine inter- planet dress shops, employing the now very famous models, Marcia Stroup, Carol Stroup, and Kathleen O’Connor. Theresa Lobascio is the shop’s leading de- signer. The pilot of the rocket, Bill Tatem, one hour later sounds the landing warning. As we tighten our safety belts, the rocket glides smoothly into its berth. My stars, this really is a surpirse. Here, off the “Jupiter Special,” are Barbara Pegusky and Joanne Ellison, who have been touring Earth’s surrounding planets. They are followed by those untiring social reformers, Marie Rottkamp and Pearl Fink. Steve Gerdik, we find, is our guide. And massing into Ed Lodi’s “hot rod,” we start on our trip. It seems but seconds later that we hear a siren and discover we’re being chased by a hawk-eyed “Marcop” who turns out to be Artie Fieldstadt. It seems Ed went over the 100 M.P.H. speed limit. After Artie herds us into court, judge Richard Tietjen slaps a S10 star fine on each of the members of the party and orders his ac- countant Leo Apgar to collect. (It seems private enter- prise is flourishing here too.) While we’re filing out of the courtroom we see John Anderson’s Real Estate Office. John is specializing in sweet smelling domestic caves for the average citizen. Next door is Matthew Maccio’s display of his Ronnie Vogelbach designed ceramic miniature space ships. Outside the courthouse, an ultra-modern newsstand, run by Terry Vickers, is selling a “Mars’ Dispatch,” printed by Joe Valsecchi and Henry Tourangeau. The paper headlines Joe Clinton, the famous writer and his new book, along with Mike Nataro who stars in the “Cinemars” production “Silence is My Virtue.” The film was produced by Francis Fichter and is now play- ing in Joe Talenti’s “Playhouse.” Mars, it seems, has adopted very advanced educa- tional methods. Jane Post, Ann Zaleski and Estelle Daguerre, now famous educators, have been following Jean Saur’s theory of “Pick ’uin up and slap ’um down.” Ed parks his “hot-rod” in front of the “Inter planet Stadium;” a great Olympic game is in progress. Ed Arcari, Donald Deskins and Frank Franzese are play- ing on the Earth football team, while Cynthia Conway and Virginia Suarez are participating in the inter- planet swimming meet. Jim Grenfell is referee of both events; Bernard Bose, three time basketball champ, is keeping track of the league standings. Tom Allegra, the famous mink rancher who employs Nan Langston as his model, has taken advantage of the games to display some new styles. Jackie Massiello, the stadium drum majorette is sporting a mink lined cape; Sheila Wylie, official cheerleader, wears a daring en- semble of mink tails; Ida Ianchello, the interplanetary known tennis champ, is showing off her new mink up- holstered convertible. Mary Jean Stafford is here with all her little basket- ball players, (which, we remember, she always said she’d raise) and we can see Bill Beauchamp’s haber- dashery signs prominently displayed throughout the grandstands. Mary Ann Pacholik, chief reporter of the Olympic’s for the “Earth Centinnel,” tells us that Janette Scotti has found life peaceful on her yacht anchored in Pluto Bay. Mary Ann also remarks that Gloria Raia, long a roller skating champ, owns her own rink. The interior, by the way, was expertly painted by artists Joan Reiss and Richard Kowalchuk. Dinner time is later here on Mars than on Earth, so by 10:00 P.M., Steve has us comfortably seated in Dick Dunwoody’s “Moon Dive.” We have a delicious meal. When the entertainment starts we’re quite unprepared for what is to follow. Dave Feron gives a magnificent performance of ex- cerpts from Dear Ruth; Margretta Phillips proudly displays her string of trick polo ponies; Ronald Snyder, self-styled and self-instructed “chemical” engi- neer, blows up hydrogen bottles filled with iodine (much to the disgust of the red-faced patrons) ; and (Cont. on page 76) 41 Senior Play Dear Ruth, the hilarious comedy of stage and screen, became a reality on the stage of the auditorium as the Senior class once again held the tradi- tional Senior Play. The double cast, who worked under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Griffin included Marg- retta Phillips, and Mary Jean Stafford as Ruth; Patricia Callahan and Geral- dine Foglia as her mother, Edith; Joseph Clinton and Ronald Voglebach as her father, Harry; Sheila Crouchley and Barbara Pegusky as her younger sister, Miriam; William Tatem as the soldier. Bill; Estelle Daguerre and Jean Saur as the maid, Dora; Caroline 42 Capozzoli and Joan Keiss as Martha; and George Knipfing as Chuck. David Feron gave an immortal performance as Albert, the jilted boyfriend. (Jail Rainey acted as prompter while Anita Perotti served as stage manager. Props were collected under the management of Mary Ann Pacholik and Mike Arter acteil as sound effects man. Joan Reiss and Joseph Valsecchi were stage craft managers. The committee which included Theresa Lobascio, Gene Kenny, Jean Saur, Peter Purazclla and Vincent Abbatiello was supervised by Mr. Robert Heist. The play proved to he very successful and will always he remembered as a highlight of our Senior Year. 43 Class of 1951 With a firm resolution to carry on the responsibilities passed on to them when they became Juniors, the Class of ’51 promptly elected able officers who were: Joan Dysko, president; Joseph Piscitelli, vice-president; Rose Strada, secretary; and Thomas Nunziata, treasurer. To help raise money the Juniors sponsored such projects as selling school stationery. As a climax to the year’s social season, the Juniors held the annual Junior Prom, truly an apt finale to the year’s activities. 46 Class of Since this was the first year that they could or- ganize, the Sophomores got right down to busi- ness and elected capable officers who included: Virgil Abbatiello, presi- dent; Harold Dick, vice- president; Lorraine Ncder, secretary; and Bruce Dalton, treasurer. 47 Class of7953 48 After a few weeks of confusion, the Freshmen settled down fast to become members of Wcstbury High. Although they have not been able to organize, they found pleasure in extra-curricular activities, and are anxiously waiting for the day when they will be upper-classmen. 49 year Book Editors Members of each of the five sub-committees of the yearbook committee have worked hard along with the faculty advisors to make this yearbook the best that Wcstbury High has ever seen. Under the guidance of Miss Harricttc Kuhlman, faculty chairman and William Tatem, editor-in-chief, all members worked dili- gently to make the annual a success. The task of preparing the copy for this book, that is composing the material and typing it up for the printer, fell on the literary committee with Mary Ann Pacholik as editor. Under the supervision of Mr. Robert Heist, Joan Reiss and her art committee have made all the drawings used in this annual including spreads and incidentals. The photography assignments consisting of collecting, selecting and preparing snapshots, arranging picture-taking schedules, and selecting pic- tures for use in the yearbook fell upon Ronald Vogelbach’s photo- graphy committee with Mr. Wesley Graves directing. Putting the writeups, the art, and the pictures together in the right order to form a yearbook was the responsibility of a com- mittee consisting of the editors with IVancy Langston as editor and Mr. Miles Landon assisting. Making this yearbook possible, financially, fell to the adver- tising committee under Mr. Ray Southard for the faculty and with John Wilson as business manager. To raise the money neces- sary, the department sponsored drives for advertisements, patrons, and boosters. The Editors would like to take this opportunity to thank Ruthann Derr, Joanne Ellison, Helen Maloney, Ernestine Parillo, Barbara Reed, and Elaine Weekes who have been outstanding committee workers. We are sorry that Gail Rainey and Fred Bogart were absent when the pictures were taken. 52 Zhe National Manor Society The Westbury Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in the spring of ’49. Mem- bers were chosen on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The honor- ary charter members were: Louise Bradley, Jose- phine Bruckner, Martha Jane Edgar, Ruth Ellen- broek, Wesley Jurgens, Mary Ann Roush, Martha Smiles, Constance Soulias, Eleanor Tobin, and Jaccpieline Zaino. This year’s active charter members were: Wil- liam Tatein, President; Joseph Clinton, Vice President; Virginia Suarez, Secretary; Mary Ann Pacholik, Treasurer and Geraldine Foglia, Paul Albancse, Joan Dvsko, Roberta Hahn, Jose- phine Iovino, Paul Kennedy, Diane Martin, Beverly Parillo, Barbara Pegusky, Anita Perotti, Rose Strada. The society chooses a project each year and sends reports to the headquarters in Washington. M iss Ida Mesick was the founder of the society in our school and Miss Marion Kendall was the faculty advisor. In April, induction ceremonies were, held to bring in new members. 54 Student Council Taking up where last year’s council left off, the Student Council busily en- gaged itself in solving the problems of the student body. They sponsored the organization of the Service Club. The Council did its utmost to meet the demands and requests of the students in every way. Piloted by their president, William Titus, the Council showed much im- provement over previous years. The other officers were, Paul Kennedy, Vice President and Jean Cavallaro, Secretary. Mr. Joseph Matthews acted as faculty advisor, and his advice and supervision were very helpful to the Council. 55 £ 3? o eft WESTBURY NIPS FARMINGDALE BY _ LAST MINUTE RALLY.

Its new features include short stories, coverage of sports events in the girls’ and hoys’ athletic depart- ments, and an inquiring reporter column. This year, under the guidance of Mr. Carl Monk, and Miss Bosketti in the advertising department, the Whisp was headed hv Anita Perotti, editor, with Mary Ann Pacholik, Barbara Pegusky, and Roberta Hahn acting as associate editors. 57 Maud For the first time in many years, Westbury High has a band that it can really be proud of. Under the able direction of Mr. William Doar the band has furnished us with music at assemblies and other occasions such as the Senior Play. Members of the band hope to march in uniform in this year’s Memorial Day parade. Chorus The chorus under the guidance of Mr. William Doar meets three times each week. The primary purpose of the group is to learn to enjoy vocal music through participation. Three or four performances are scheduled during the year for pre- sentation in an assembly. 58 Projection Club The projectionists voluntarily render their services to the school hy giving up a study hall in order to show a motion picture to a class. Organized under the guidance of Mr. Ray Southard, the members receive instruction in special tech- nical skills. Assembly Committee The committee meets visiting performers, makes the introductory speeches, helps decorate the stage, and sponsors assembly programs. 59 junior Ked Cross {junior Classical JCeague The Junior Classical League, an organization com- prising interested students who have completed one year of Latin, has been organized for two years under the guid- ance of Miss Beatrice Keevil. The activities of the League have included school assem- blies, the study of ancient Rome, its customs, its enter- tainment, and holiday ban- quets. Roberta Hahn and Helen Maloney are consuls, Patricia Fitzgerald is scriba, Ernestine Parillo is quaestor and Nancy Marano is aedile. The first drive conducted by the Junior Red Cross under the guidance of Miss Eva Bronner, was the packing of boxes with useful items to send to needy children over- seas. A membership drive was another project. At Christmas the Club filled Christmas stockings for war veterans in hospitals. 60 £a Wa-Si-Club In the spring of 1950, a committee of teachers and students approved the applications of seventeen stu- dents, who have rendered valuable service to the school, to the newly organized Service Club. For tbe first time in many years, the Library Club has been organized and holds meetings to discuss prob- lems of the library. The group works under the guid- ance of Miss Grace Bennett. The officers of the Club are Gloria Raia, president; Marie Levitt, vice-presi- dent; Betty Sinclair, secretary; and Doris Cobb, treas- urer.

Westbury started off by heating Poughkeepsie, Farm- ingdale and upsetting Valley Stream. An underdog, Port Washington, then upset Bol) Shemky’s charges. A win over a traditional rival, Ilicksville, and two losses, Oyster Bay and Freeport, finished out the season with a 4-3 record. Don Deskins was all scholastic; Frank Cross was the most valuable player; and Frank Franzese and Ed Bologna were chosen co- captains. 64 Varsity Zeam Tliis year, the Westbury quintet had an eight and ten record. Team captain and co-captains were Ronnie Vogelbach and Frank Franzese, respectfully. High scorer with 196 points, was Tommy Nunziata. With two out of the starting, five returning, and a J. V. that finished strong, Westbury has optimistic hopes for the future. ‘Junior Varsity 65 baseball The Westbury High School baseball team is the leading contender for the North Shore League title this spring. The experienced team led by Ronnie Vogelbach, all scholastic pitcher, should turn in an impressive record comparable to last year’s. 66 Although the cross country team was not very large last year and did not win any meets, Mr. F. Truland, hopes for a stronger team in 1950. Cross Country Soccer Soccer is another first year sport in Westhury. Mr. Jack coached the team through the first year. Although not too successful, the team has new talent that will develop with experience. 67 Rifle Zeam One of tlie new sports Westbury is developing is Rifle. Formed last fall, the team is already practicing regularly Saturday mornings. The Green and Gold hopes to have a team to compete in the league next year. Mr. Reiss, Mr. Reilly, and Mr. Truland are teaching the team markmanship. Rowling Under Mr. Fitzgerald’s able coaching, the bowling team is having a successful first year. The group is developing rapidly. 68 Zrack The Green and Gold rode to victory twice last year. Winning the Hicksville, Farniingdale, Wcsthury triangle, the Junior Trophy at Port Washington and a third place at the North Shore meet, Westbury had a rather triumphant season. Zmnis The newly organized tennis team had many hoys turn out for it, but only those who had ex- perience were accepted immed- iately. Led by Dave Feron, the captain, and Ben Bose, they fought their way through the schedule without winning a meet. Jack Hoban played third singles and teamed with Bill Tatem for second doubles. 69 (VJX Q. tA- (A- The Girl’s Athletic Association, composed of all girls who are interested in participating in sports after regular school hours, is one of the largest organizations in Westbury High School.

RONALD SNYDER leaves a hospital bed. Coming Millions (Cent.) Pat Callahan gives her imitations of Paul Albanese, Secretary of the Mars Treasury, counting money. Gerard Finn, commonly known to Mars’ citizens as “Don Gerardo Finn, el magnifico toreador” comes to chat with us and lets us in on some news. “Brains” has been so very successful here on Mars that he has found it necessary to hire Elizabeth Sinclair to be his Spanish interpreter and Caroline Christiano to be his nurse. (Toreador’s are often injured and need medical care.) The time passes so quickly that we are surprised to find our space ship is to leave in a very short emit (as hours are called here on Mars.) Upon returning to the space port, we discover that Bill Titus and Bob Stafford, veteran Eartli ambassadors to Mars, are present to see us off. Music is provided by- Gail Rainey’s symphonic group, with special choral effects supplied by Matthew Messina’s trade school students. Sheila Crouchley, the Mars Oscar winner for her portrayals of precocious children, joins us on the rocket ramp. With her are her secretary Josephine MARY JEAN STAFFORD leaves a sweet smile.

ANN ZALESKI abandons her fits of laughter to any- one who has wind enough to laugh as long and hard as slic docs. BARBARA PEGUSKY and GAIL RAINEY leave this class will to be read, studied, and disposed of. Iovino and close companion Nancy Hickey. The girls are glad to see the interest we have taken in the affairs of Mars. We find Mike Arter is in the observation cabin burrowed under a pile of his own books explaining the meaning of “shrewd,” and Virginia Abbatiello is heard exercising her vocal chords in her state room under the strict eye of her wardrobe designer, Geraldine Hill. In the rocket nursery, housewife, Evie Medoff, is trying in vain to calm her quintuplets. John Hoban’s murals explaining child psychology don’t seem to help a bit. As the rocket catapults back to Earth, we have a delightful conversation with Antoinette Yatauro and Anne Lagnese. The girls, after taking so many first places in Earth typing contests, have turned to ex- hibition typing on the other planets. Shortly after Earth is sighted, John Wilson, the radio operator, sends back a radio-gram to us. It’s from the Whisp, now a national newspaper, saying, “To Anita Perotti and Gearldine Foglia . . . have heard of your wonderful trip to Mars . . . please report to Whisp offices . . . want you to serialize it for us.” 76 Patrons Mr. Mrs. Virgil Anderson Mrs. J.
