Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1951 volume:

FOREWORD the class of 1951. sincerely hope llial this Yearbook will he a link in an un- ending c hain, which presents a panorama of our wars in high school. In humility and sincerity, we would like to give recognition in this foreword to the students of Weslbury High School who died in World War II. who. through their sacrifice makes it possible lor us to he able to bring you this yearbook. I hose years hare been pleasant, active, and fruitful ones. This annual reflects these activities and will he an encyclopedia to you in the future. !! is a record of the year in pictures and in words, of things that helped make this year a memorable one. As you read this reminisce and remember. I Miss Elizabeth Griffin During the past four years, we feel we have come to know you—both in and out of the classroom. We will remember your gracious personality, your interest in student activities, and your wonderful sense of humor. Those of us who worked with you on the Senior Play are well aware of all you did for the good of our class: the hours spent trying to choose a play; the many unsuccessful rehearsals, because of absentees or lines not learned; the many, many times you reminded us, “Rehearsals start at 7:30 and NOT 8:00.” But you never gave up and consequently we had a successful Senior Play. We should like to show our appreciation and gratitude to you. So it is with the deepest sincerity and the greatest of pleasure that we, the Class of 1951, dedicate to you. Miss Elizabeth Griffin, this issue of the Wing and Spur. o NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Westbury Chapter of the National Honor Society has been in effect since the spring of 1949. Activities include a project which the Society chooses each year. A report on this is sent to Washington. Members are selected on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Senior members include Joan Dysko, Roberta Hahn, Paul Kennedy, Diane Martin, Beverly Parillo, and Rose Strada. Miss Marion Kendall is faculty advisor. In April, 1951. two seniors: Stephanie Schram and Edward Weisz, and six juniors: Harold Dick, Joha Kennedy, Lorraine Neder, Mary Rose Schneider, Dorothy Schroth, and Carol Walsh were inducted into membership. 8 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has been running smoothly this year under the able direction of Paul Kennedy, President, and Mr. Joseph Matthews. An accomplishment of the Council has been a lunch hour recreation program, which includes basketball games and entertaining movies. The purpose of the Council is to make school life more pleasant for everyone in general, and the Council has done a worthy job of it this past year. PROJECTION CLUB The Projection Club, through its own voluntary service, ran many movies for the school this year. The club volunteered their lunch hours to show the movies held in the auditorium several days a month. Mr. Southard directed this group and gave instructions on how to operate the projection machine. 9 WHISP Since its conversion from a mimeographed tabloid to a regular printed newspaper, the Whisp has been contin- ually advancing. More and more features and its supple- ment, the Scholastic “Roto,” make the Whisp a more complete and enjoyable paper. This year a new organization set-up has been put into effect. There are now two separate departments with Ro- berta Hahn as editor-in-chief. The two departments are the literary, headed by Stephanie Schram, feature editor, and Dorothy Schroth. news editor, and the make-up, headed by Carol Welch, managing editor. With the help and guidance of Mr. Carl Monk, the Whisp is continuing its fine service to the school. 10 Ae The Whisp Mr. Graves Miss Griffin Mre rtird .«aid Mo’’ | tOW Sed en' y ’ • e rs tf v V - .cX' VCV 'P left Mand A-It0 ® J S .... eX I-� - A ...� Jf, w to c oV- it th3f Sa oe .e A° V vl ,1 c O� ' aSx d °aou t a 9v' V Tonrg vj . , VT ee , cfiS? didn’l e c « ■5 e«%.

With Paul Kennedy as its pres- ident, the members have rendered many useful services, such as typing and running errands, for our faculty and student body. LATIN CLUB The Junior Classical League of Westbury, under the direction of Miss Keevil, has made its second year of life quite full of activities, which include the dramatization of a play in Latin, research on Roman banquets, and individual research on debts that our civilization owes to the Roman culture. 12 RED CROSS This year the Red Cross Club staged a big membership drive, which proved very suc- cessful. Many of the soldiers at Northport Hospital were sup- plied with cigarettes, candy, and other incidentals through the Christmas stocking drive. The Red Cross Club was un- der the Supervision of Miss Eva Bronner, to whom a great deal of credit is due. TA-WA-SI The members of the Library Club perform many useful services for our school library. They check incoming and outgoing books, and help in the selection of many new ones. The officers are as follows: Magdalene Fallon President 13 BAND Lots of credit should be given our band for their great improvement in the past year. Besides play- ing for many assemblies, they also made the inter- missions of the Senior Play quite enjoyable. Mr. Dougherty took over the leadership of the band in December. CHORUS What the chorus lacks in number, it makes up with enthusiasm. By its participation in the en- joyable Christmas assembly, Westbury’s chorus has shown good prospects under the able direction of Miss Meduna. HISTORY CLUB The History Club was started in Westbury High School in 1949. Throughout that year, its members attended many forums with various other schools at Sewanaka High School. This year, the History Club has expanded its pro- gram. Its members took part in the American Legion Oratorical Contest and the L nited Nations National Student Contest. The group visited the United Na- tions at Lake Success. In October, they gave an assembly for the high school during “National Edu- cation Week.” In April, the History Club held a forum in which many schools on Long Island participated. The History Club is headed by Stephanie Schram, President, Olga Babiuk, Vice-president and Gloria Monteforte, Secretary. Through the help of Miss Harriette Kuhlman, the History Club is establishing itself as an import- ant club. 15 WING AND SPUR Congratulations arc in order for the industrious workers on the various committees of our Wing and Spur. Supervised by Joan Dysko, editor-in-chief, and Miss Harriette kuhlman, faculty advisor, the committees worked enthusiastically to make this Wing and Spur the best to come to Westburv. The composition of the book was due to the work of a group headed by the editors and several members of the Senior Class. Beverly Parillo, editor of the literary committee, and her assistants wrote the copy for the typing staff headed by Hose Strada. 1 he art committee with Ed Weisz as editor made the book more interesting with their drawings and in- cidentals. A great deal of credit must be given to the members of this committee, who met with Mr. Heist each week to discuss their drawings, which do not be- gin to indicate the amount of time and energy con- sumed in assembling them. John Kennedy, who headed the photography com- mittee, had the difficult job of collecting and selecting snapshots, making picture schedules and selecting pic- tures for the yearbook. Mr. Wesley Graves was the faculty advisor for this committee. The financial aspect of the book fell upon the finance committee with Ernestine Parillo as business manager and Mr. Ray Southard as supervisor. The money was raised by getting advertisements, patrons, and boosters. The advertisements don’t begin to show the amount of foot work that was necessary to acquire them. 16 FOOTBALL The Green and Gold surprised the county by capturing the Class “B” championship of the North Shore. The team deserved the championship with five wins, one tie, and only one loss. Westbury started off by defeating Poughkeepsie and Farming- dale and upsetting Valley Stream. The mid-season was marked by handing a defeat to a dangerous Port Washington team. Hicksville missed ruining our perfect record by failing to con- vert an extra point. An underdog. Oyster Bay, came from behind to tie us 20-20. Our last game was the only defeat of the season, despite the fact that it was by far our very best played game. We arc sure the Freeport team felt very fortunate in taking a 7-6 win. Nick Albanese, our All-Scholastic man. was elected the most Valuable Player to Westbury and co-captain, along with Frank Cross. 21 TRACK Last year track received a very cool welcome. Since the squad was so small in number, they did not have a good season. But this year, with an increased -squad, a suc- cessful year is expected. CROSS COUNTRY The 1950 Cross Country team won its first meet in many a moon, and also made a very good showing in others. All members of the team contributed to the improving season. Since all but four of the members were underclassmen, next year’s team looks very promising. 22 GOLF Though a golf team has been representing West- bury for many years, it has received very little recognition from the student body. However, this year, because of a larger squad, success may be due. BOWLING The bowling team had quite a successful year in 1951. With many young recruits and a continued interest, a successful year in 1952 may be expected. VARSITY BASKETBALL This year ihe Westbury quintet ended up in third place with a 5-5 record. Maurice Scro, the high scorer, contributed 136 points to the team’s total. Although the team started out very weak, it would have had a very strong finish if it hadn’t been seriously hampered by injuries. JUNIOR VARSITY The Junior Varsity team ran up against some very stiff com- petition. However, the outlook is optomistic, since with the ex- perience received by the team, the Jayvees should be the nucleus of a good team next year. FRESHMAN TEAM The Freshman team received a great deal of experience this year and will probably fill the gap of next year’s Junior Varsity very successfully. 25 SOCCER Although soccer, as an organized sport at Westbury, was only one year old, the team members played like veterans. The wins and good showings of its other games will probably earn the team a league position in 1951. BASEBALL The Westbury High School baseball team has hopes for a good season this year. The pitching department will bank on Maurice Scro to come through, and the hitting de- partment will be centered around Tom Nun- ziata. However, the team will have a very difficult time attempting to repeat last year’s record. 26 G. A. A. The Girls Athletic Association is the organization around which the girls’ extracurricular sports revolve. The members work hard to attain the required number of points which enable them to win their Shield, Major Letter, and Gold Star. Under the supervision of Miss Proly, the organization’s able officers are: Patricia Fitzgerald-----------------.--------- President Winifred Crowley..........................Vice-president Madelyn Pascarella ............................Secretary Elaine Knopfler....................... ... . Treasurer Ernestine Parillo..................Publicity Manager 28 VOLLEY BALL CHEERLEADERS Our cheerleaders, always full of school spirit and never lacking in pep, cheered the boys through our most successful football and basketball seasons. They are: Nanette Martini, Nancy Black (not shown) Elaine Knopfler, Gloria Iannucci, Judy Fitzpatrick, Carol Vitucci, Joe Gennari, Pookie Crowley, and Roberta Hahn. FRESHMAN CLASS After a few weak knees at the beginning of their first year in high school, the class of ’54 has become a part of the school. The Freshmen have participated in various sports and clubs, and they now look forward to being an organized class. 35 SOPHOMORE CLASS The Class of ’53 was determined to have a successful career in high school. Therefore, the first year it was able, it organized. The class started right at the top by selecting Vin- cent Canaveri, President; Jerome Pasquall, ice-president: Jerry Turner, Secretary; and Laura Staton, Treasurer. They couldn’t have selected a better advisor than Mrs. Ostrander to lead them on the right path. 36 JUNIOR CLASS The class of’52 has already shown that it will not let down this school as the next Senior Class. This is indicated by the good work it has done on cake sales and other money-raising projects. They gave a wonderful Junior Prom which will always be remembered. Class officers are: Harold Dick, president; Virgie Abbatiello, Vice-president; Loraine Neder, Secretary; and Bruce Dalton, Treas- urer. They say that Miss Grady, their faculty advisor, has helped them immensely. 37 diploma MOST ATHLETIC: BEST DRESSED: Pat and Tom Barbara and George BEST MANNERED: Jean an l Frank MOST POPULAR: Nan and Joe WITTIEST: Barbara and Nick MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Joan ami Paul On a sunny September day in 1947, there passed through the entrances of Westbury High an odd assort- ment of young hopefuls. Yes, on that memorable day we, the Class of 1951, first came face to face with high school life. Awed by our new home, we hesitantly made our way to our respective homerooms. Here we filled out our schedules, heard our final briefing on our new surround- ings and were sent into the four year fight for survival. Some of us chose the Latin and Algebra courses. Other among us made trembling assents to the typing and short- hand rooms. No matter where we headed, we all had one thing in common: we were freshmen. Freshmen! How that name haunted us as we struggled through our first year. It was enunciated with scorn and guffaws as we tried to remember to “Keep to the right” when ordered to do so by those big Seniors of the Safety Patrol. The word was pronounced with great distaste when we marched to the beautiful balcony seats of the auditorium or tried to buck the cafeteria stampede at lunch-time. Undaunted by the suave upperclassmen’s disdain for our lowly position, some members of our class plunged into the various activities of high school life. The girls joined the G.A.A. and showed their abilities on the hockey field, basketball court, and softball diamond. A few of our boys showed potentialities of being some of the greatest athletics to come from our school as they played hard at football, basketball, and baseball. Elaine Knopfier honored us all by being chosen as a cheerleader. Helen Maloney drew attention to the class when she managed to get her eye in the way of a baseball. Francis DiBiase caused a mild sensation when he smiled with all his teeth one day and seemed to be missing one the next. We joined clubs, worked on the Whisp, participated in assemblies, and what was our reward? Well, perhaps the fact that the girls were thrown in the showers (a sure sign of acceptance by the Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors) and the boys weren’t stepped on quite as often as they bustled down the halls. I We must have made a hit.) Try as we would, we Freshmen just didn’t rate. But then, in June of our first year, we were recognized! In the Class Song Contest we sang loudly and sincerely (mostly loudly) as we praised the Seniors and the school. Sure enough, W'e won honorable mention in the contest. Amazing, what say? Those days of balcony seats and humble status soon passed and after a short summer vacation, we re-entered W.H.S. with a new name. We w'ere no longer lowly Freshmen. Now, we could laugh at them! We were Sophomores! Many new adventures awaited us when wre donned our new' role. Quickly we organized our class and, with capable officers at the helm, we set to work making history! Miss Proly and Mr. Graves were our patient, capable advisors for that year. In the sports field Tom Nunziata, Frank Cross, Joe Piscitelli, Nick Albanese and a few other ’51 players dis- played their prowess with the pigskin and basketball. Once again we plunged into the various clubs and jobs high school offered, a little more confident than the previous year. During this time on the second rung of the ladder to graduation the “Tweed Regime” first reared its helpful head. Boss Paul Kennedy showed great promise as a leader and capable worker when he managed the sports and aided Mr. Fitzgerald. His following was forming, and he started to climb the ladder of success. The Sophomore year slipped by swiftly, yet it was chock full of great events. The assembly at Christmas, when one moppet wanted her two front teeth, the closer companionship with upperclassmen, the spirit and joy of the sports events, the excitement over a possible chance to go to the proms and the general happiness will never be forgotten. Before we left our second year, two honors were in store for us. First of all, Margie Pavlicin claimed the title of leader of the horseback riding group, when she won their show. This position was usually filled by a Senior, but Margie proved her worth and took over. Secondly, the Sophomores won the Moving-up Day Song Contest with their beautiful, heartfelt lyrics to the tune of “So Dear To My Heart.” Then to vacation. After another short stay in the sun, we returned to our great school as Juniors. Now we were upperclassmen, and we had a great many responsibilities as such. Soon after returning, Student Council elections were held and our boy, Paul Kennedy, became vice-president. Cheer- leaders were chosen and five Junior girls, Elaine for the third time, Roberta for the second time, Nan Martini, Jean Cavallaro and a darling newcomer from Florida, Nancy Black, became squad members. Continued on page 50 JUNIOR PROM AND SENIOR BALL The cute little wishing well and the flowers all around the room trans- formed the gym into a lovely spring garden for our Junior Prom, held on May 28, 1950. A good time was had by all and the prom will forever be remembered. On April 18, 1951 we held our beautiful Senior Ball, a last shining memory of our wonderful high school years. It was a huge success, which will forever be remembered with tenderness in our hearts. 44 45 Otct ?utwie “My, this desk is cluttered up with papers!

The play was very successful, due to the expert direction of Miss Eliz- abeth Griffin and the wonderful ability of the actors. The cast was as follows: Mr. Barry, George Bean; Mrs. Bess Tay- lor, Joan Dysko; Carrie Stanwich, Stevie Schram; Tom Crosby, Sal Barilla; Daisy Dayton, Helen Maloney; Evelyn Taylor, Roberta Hahn; Mrs. Griswald, Ernestine Parillo; Bobbie, Judy Maloney; “Fifty” Ferris, Joan Costello; “Sawbuck” Sam, Frank Regan; Marvin Pritcherd, James Dillon; Kenneth Plunkett, Don Wy- gand; and Sam Jordan, John Fitzpatrick. 48 The prompter was Patricia Fitzgerald and the sound effects man was Boh Newlands. Properties were collected by Nancy Black. Bar- bara Kraft. Barbara Reardon, Kuthann Derr, and Jean Jurgens. The stage craft committee was: Joan Dysko, manager; Mary Ann Perotti, Laura Staton, Sal Barilla. Domonic Posillico, George Wetter, Rulhann Derr. Jerome Pasquall, Gilbert Hill. Joe Puglesi, George Preston, Olga Yarish. The committee was under the direction of Mr. Robert Heist. 49 Our Past (Cnn’t.) Once more the class elected officers: Joan Dysko, presi- dent. Joe Piscitelli, vice-president, Rose Strada, secretary and Tom Nunziata, treasurer. This time Mr. Kickham was adept advisor. We devised devious methods of collecting funds for our treasury. We held a very profitable cake sale, but perhaps the most successful was the Junior-Senior Basket- ball Game and Dance held in the gym in February of 1950. Not only did we make money, but our boys beat the Senior five and heaped honor on us all. The same young men of our class who had previously showed their athletic tendencies continued on the sports- men’s road. The girls did well when they participated in their sports, too. The G.A.A. was fortunate to have Joan Dysko. a true ’51er, as its vice-president. Our class held its own when it came to assemblies and school activities other than those mentioned. When the Honor Society members were inducted, Paul Kennedy, Rose Strada, Beverly Parillo, Joan Dysko, Diane Martin, and Roberta Hahn were chosen. When elections for the Student Council for the following year were held, Paul Kennedy was overwhelmingly elected as its president, and Joan Dysko as secretary. During this year, too, Ro- berta Hahn represented W.H.S. in the divisional contest of the American Legion's Oratorical Contest, and placed second. Time passed swiftly and we carefully watched our lim- ited treasury, for Prom time was approaching! Through careful management, we arranged for and held a mar- velous Junior Prom on May 28. The gym on that night was transformed into a gorgeous garden complete with a wishing well. The soft strains of delightful music, the bustle of gowns, and the general happy atmosphere made that a night to remember forever. May and the prom slipped into June and Class Night. Joan Dysko wrote the Junior’s program for that occasion. June had its Moving-up Day, too. As we marched to our new Senior seats and sang our good-byes to the Class of 1950, all of us felt very proud and a little sad, for we knew who ice were now, but we regretted the loss of a grand class. We had grown quite fond of the group just ahead of us, and we knew we would miss them. Once September of 1950 rolled around, however, we didn't have time to miss anyone. We had too many things to do! Naturally, we elected officers for our class. They were Joe Piscitelli, president, Frank Cross, vice-president, Tom Nunziata, treasurer and Pat McCrossen, secretary. Mr. Kickham again acted as our advisor. Immediately we started a “buy this, buy that, it’s a duty to your class” campaign for funds. We started work on our yearbook. With Joan Dysko, Beverly Parillo, Edward Weisz and Ernestine Parillo, as its editors, the Wing and Spur for 1951 showed great promise. The Whisp had a goodly portion of its editors and workers from the Senior Class. Roberta Hahn was editor- in-chief, Stevie Schram was feature editor. John Fitz- patrick was sports editor, while Rose Strada and Gloria Monteforte became business and circulation managers re- spectively. The G.A.A. had Pat Fitzgerald as president, Elaine Knopfler as treasurer, and Ernestine Parillo as publicity manager. Nan, Elaine, and Nancy were back on the cheerleading squad. The boys’ sports had some all time greats from our class. Added to those who stood out in previous years were James Dillon, Peter Purrazella, Frank Regan, and John Fitzpatrick. Two of our boys, Tom Nunziata and Nick Albanese were chosen for All-Scholastic during a terrific football season. At the football dinner, Frank Cross and Nick Albanese were elected co-captains for the year, and Nick was chosen as 1950’s most valuable player for Westbury. The other fellows received gold footballs and all our sincere congratulations for a job v’ell done. During this, our last year, Stevie Schram represented us in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. As our class treasury sank, due to great expenses in- curred by our yearbook and the plans for our Senior Ball, more methods of raising money w'ere arranged. A Junior- Senior Dance was held in the gym on February 3, 1951. It was a thoroughly enjoyable affair! Then, too, the Senior play was produced. After great consideration, “Mr. Barry’s Etchings” by Bulloch and Archer was our choice as a fair vehicle for our class thespians. Starring in said production, which was capably directed by Miss Griffin and made possible through Mr. Heist’s staff’s artistic assistance, were George Bean, Joan Dysko, Judy Maloney (imported), Roberta Hahn, James Dillon, Sal Barilla, Helen Maloney, John Fitzpatrick, Er- nestine Parillo, Stevie Schram, Frank “Tiger” Regan, Jo- anne Costello and Donald Wygand. It was an enormously successful show, and though not offered a spot on Broad- way, it was profitable. Last among our class activities is the unforgettable Senior Ball, a truly magnificent affair, far too exciting for mere words. Its elegance will live forever in our hearts. As we attend our Moving-up Day exercises. Class Night and finally graduation, we should all take one long lasting backward look over our four years here at W.H.S. We should recall the laughter, the joys, the tribulations, the companionships, the never equalled events which were crammed into these four years. Then, we should turn confidently, with a smile on our lips and memories in our hearts, toward a new and promising future for all.
