Student Council, Wing and Spur, Whisp, Chorus. 31 ’52 in euue In a few short days, the slow march down the center aisle will begin, and then, one by one, we will proudly receive our diplomas. High School will be officially over. These four short years in which the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and disappointments have been molded together until they have formed a con- tinuous stream of events. This vast parade with its beginning in the present, and stretching its length back to our freshmen days, will carry us to the final event, the most memorable occasion of all, commencement, when we will sadly bid farewell to the past, and tug our faces to the future. The first events to appear in the bright pageant of memory are the traditional Moving-Up Day and Class Night exercises, which are so dear to the hearts of all Westbury graduates. We're all nstidreaming oi the gala Senior Ball on April 16, wh ch was one of the highlights of the year. Cherished memories of this night will always remain in our hearts. J The Ball was only one of the dances this year. The G. A. A. which w-dfably manafiep by Pookie Crow- ley, President; Barbara Riecj y-fce-President; a d Rose Madsen, Treasurer, put on two Sadie Hawkins dances, much to the delight of the females, Senior arid other- wise. The band also held two dances; the first l onoring the football team, and the second feting the co of our King a id Queen: George Zipple and Dor The mellow music of Phil DeJulio's band, ad measurably to tnV-anjoyment of these occdsions. Another milestone in oyr'JJreer tlie 'j-) roduc- which tion of Head Over He lg a lively comedy proved to be a smash hit. Ably directed by Mr. Leverr-' son, it brought to the surface mucn hidden dramatic talent. Not to b committees did th| ful. outdone, the stage and property ir ufrfiost to make the show success- Naturally, one of the biggest thrills of our Senior year came when we received our rings. For several days underclassmen were kept busy admiring ring- decorated Senior hands. In September we reaffirmed our confidence in our officers by re-electing Harold Dick as President, Lorraine Neder as Secretary, and Bruce Dalton as Treasurer. Maurice Scro was chosen as Vice-President. Mr. Drake replaced Mr. Truland and joined Miss Grady as our advisers. We were soon plunged into money-making schemes to bolster our declining treasury. A profitable cake sale was followed by a rapid succession of beanies, b nn rs stationery, and Christmas cards. One of the first tasks to confront us when school opened was to organize to make this year book the best ever. Dorothy Schroth was chosen Editor-in-Chief, and assisting her wasfthe Editorial Board consisting of Mary Rose Schneider! Barbara Ried, Carol Welch, Judy (Hornung, Margaret Kattau, Lorraine Neder, Felicia ind John Kennedy. This team was soon hard at 'work on tn fiVrtt hnerable details of putting out a year- book.

Top. Of course, football left Harold Dick with his arm in p rather odd position for a while, and we were all g cT to see Bob Stafford emerge from his cocoon. Several Seniors were among the cheerleaders who en- thusiastically cheered the tearp on all year. They in- captain and in her wley, for the second ad, Ann Nicol, Doris eluded: Gloria lannucci, wh third year on the squad; Pooki year; and newcomers to th Smith, and Mary Rose Schn The Whisp didn't suffer f om a lack of Seniors, either. Barbara Ried and Carol Welch served as co- editors-in-chief; Donald Mollitor as Sports Editor; and Janet Kopack as assistant Managing Editor, while Joan Hurley was the editor in charge of circulation. After a short pause in the parade, the action- packed Junior year moves into view. On Moving-Up lly said good-bye to the Class of '51, us through three years of high school, j„zed that soon we would be on top up to us to keep all the traditions of g the spring, quite a few Juniors distin- guished themselves and ths slass. Several of the boys received their letters for sports, cmd Gwen Rushmore received hers from the G. A. A.; a feat rarely accomp- lished b-y a Junior. Walter Koenig filled us with pride s y appearing in the Senior Talent Assembly. Sn The Junior Prom, the most enchanting night of Othe'year, was held on June 2. Winthrop Hall was trans- formed into a South Sea island paradae, complete with waving palms, twinkling stars, and tro cal blossoms. Phil DeJulio's band added to the dreamy atmosphere which left everyone starry- yed for weeks afterward. The Student Council elections held in June, over- whelmingly pfdced Bob Stafford in the oresidency. Another proof of ur ability came dr h lW)!d Dick, John Kennedy, Lorraine Neder, Mar R e S neider, Dorothy Schroth, and Carol Welch were mawfjJa into _tke National Honor Society. course, we were still busy trying to make rr ney. Either a cake or a dollar were worcA fre- quStly heard around homej Jorr meetings. We also co-iperated with the Seniors apd put on the Junior- Senior dance in February. The suc ss of our first big dance gave us much-needed experience and confidence before tackling the Prom. 1950's highly successful football season was aided by a large number of Juniors. Several of them received gold footballs from the school, as tokens of apprecia- tion for their hard work. Maurice Scro later distin- guished himself by becoming top-scorer during basket- ball season. The girls kept up their active role in sports, too. Gloria and Pookie were peppy cheerleaders; while the G. A. A. had Pookie as Vice-President and Dolly Pascarella as Secretary, as well as many loyal Junior supporters. The Whisp also had many diligent Junior writers and other workers. John Kennedy had charge of the photography, with Barbara, Mary Rose, Dorothy, and Carol, hard at work on the literary side. For our Junior officers, we chose Harold Dick as President, Virgil Abbatiello, as Vice-President, and re-elected Lorraine and Bruce, Secretary and Treasurer. The Parade is now twisting its way back through time to our Sophomore year. We ended it with a bang by winning the song contest on Moving-Up Day, with our rendition of A Tree in the Meadow 7 Beautiful new lyrics expressed our appreciation of the Seniors who were leaving. To start us off on our road to fame, Harold Dick was elected Vice-President of the Student Council. Virgil Abbatiello, Bruce Dalton, Bob Stafford, and George Zipple amazed everyone by playing on both the J. V. and Varsity basketball teams. Our Sophomore year was largely spent gaining experience. We eagerly plunged into all sorts of activi- ties — sports, clubs, assemblies, and, of course, the Whisp. The boys were being well grounded on their grid careers. Gloria was a cheerleader, and Pookie, Treasurer of the G. A. A. Crew cuts seemed to be in style that year. One even turned bright orange to knock everyone's eyes out. On the second rung of the ladder, we organized for the first time. The slate of officers included Virgil Abbatiello, President; Harold Dick, Vice-President; Lorraine Neder, Secretary; and Bruce Dalton, Treasurer. Miss Grady and Mr. Truland became our patient and capable advisers. The parade is drawing to a close as the final events of our Freshmen year flash by. We took immense pride in the fact that we received Honorable Mention in the song contest. The balcony really kocked as Jim Diestal sang a solo, and then the class joined in for the chorus of There's a Long, Long Trail Awinding. It didn't take the school long to find out about our values, though. Everyone just about burst with pride when Maurice Scro was put on the Varsity basketball team. Other fellows developed their skill on the Fresh- man team, which had a highly successful career. At G. A. A., the girls were rudely introduced to the joys of cold showers, but the happy thoughts of what would happen next year helped them to survive the ordeal. After a few weeks of confusion, we gradually became acclimated to high school life. All the new, strange, exciting things became familiar to us. We tried to act as unlike Freshmen as possible as we were in- volved in the breathless whirl of our new life. It has been a long time since that far-away day when we, as bewildered Freshmen, searched through a maze of corridors for some unfamiliar numbers on homeroom doors. Next year, some of us will again find ourselves Freshmen, while others will go on to business, industry, or the service. WhereVer we go, we will always gratefully hold the memories of our four years in high school, and hope that our lives will always bring credit to the school which has given us so much.

With the capable influence of Miss S. C. Bosketti and Mr. A. J. Moreno for class advisers, the Sopho- mores proved themselves good potential Upper- classmen. JUNIORS The Class of '53 has earned for itself a money-making reputation. This acclaim is a result of the earnest work of its members. Class officers are Vin- cent Canevari, President; Alden Gray, Vice-President; Laura Staton, Secre- tary; and Jerry Turner, Treasurer. Under the guidance of Mrs. Ostrander and Mr. Vassillew, this class should show even greater progress as Seniors. Wing and Spur The task of editing and organizing the 1952 Wing Spur fell to Dorothy Schroth, Editor-in-Chief, under the direction of Miss Harriett M. Kuhlman. A Board of Editors was organized to cover the various tasks; Lorraine Neder was in charge of Senior layout, Barbara Ried, Mary Rose Schneider, and Carol Welch directed the literary work.

They raised the necessary money with subscriptions, advertising, and patrons. Behind these editors, were the all-important committee members without whom this book would not be possible. The Editors at this point would like to thank all who have contributed to the forming of this yearbook. 54 55 Student Council This was a busy year for the representatives in the Student Council, headed by J. Robert Stafford, President; Jerome Pasquall, Vice-President; Laura Staton, Secretary; and Joseph Matthews, Adviser. The difficult job of revising the constitution was under- taken and after much painstaking work, which included contacting other schools and holding special meetings, the framework of a new constitution was set up. Up to now our council was merely a meeting place for representatives from each homeroom, who brought their ideas and complaints with the hope of getting the school authorities to remedy situations which students called to their attention. As our student body grows, there will be a need for a council that will command the respect of all students and function as a student government should, in catering to the needs of all of us. The new constitution sets up an Assembly consisting of about forty-two students elected by the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes. There is also a council consisting of about thirteen students, elected in the same manner. This plan is much like our own democracy, and parallels our Senate and House of Representatives at Wash- ington. Every student in the high school would automatically become a member. The election held in the spring will be for officers of the Westbury High School Student Asso- ciation, as our new organization will be called. The Council and Assembly control various committees which supply the needs of the students. It is planned to have social, service, finance, assembly, and club com- mittees. The members of the Council and Assembly are automatically members of the various committees. Under this new plan, it is hoped that the Student Association will hold a position of first importance in the life of the school. 56 Honor Society Character, scholarship, leadership and serv- ice are the basis on which members are chosen for the National Honor Society. The Westbury chapter, organized in 1949, this year adopted a teen aged girl in Corregio, Italy as its project. With capable assistance from Miss Marian D. Kendall, faculty adviser, they sent food and cloth- ing to her. Members inducted in 1951 include, Lorraine Neder, Mary Rose Schneider, Dorothy Schroth, Carol Welch, Harold Dick and John Kennedy. In March 1952, six seniors — Fred Bogart, Margaret Kattau, Janet Kopack, Janice Koveleski, Donald Nelson and George Zippel, and 15 juniors — Mary BallufF, Carol Battilana, Julia Beliera, Elaine Farynick, Virgil McKenna, William Mc- Laughlin, Barbara Ney, Jerome Pasquall, Clyde Payne, Helen Romano, Gertrude Romeo, Fred Romeo, Susan Roush, Janet Settlocker and Laura Staton were inducted. WHISP News of all sorts — dances, sports, assemblies, and clubs — is reported to the student body by the Whisp. Many other features are also offered including short stories, an in- quiring reporter and other items of interest that add to the reader's enjoyment. This year the staff, headed by Barbara Ried and Carol Welch, co-editors-in-chief, in- cluded: Helen Romano, news editor, Susan Roush, feature editor, Virgil McKenna, man- aging editor, and Gertrude Romeo, advertising manager. Mr. Carl Monk and Miss Sally Bosketti's helpful advice and guidance were greatly appre- ciated by all the staff. JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE This year the Junior Classical League had a very successful season. Under the direction of Miss Keevil, this club has com- pleted many useful projects in- cluding the adoption of an Italian girl. Gift boxes and letters were sent to strengthen friendship be- tween her town, Corregio, and Westbury. The officers were as follows: Consuls — Carol Batti- lana and Mary Christine BallufF, Secretary — Rita Goulding and Treasurer — Margaret Cantley. TA-WA-SI The Ta-Wa-Si Club gives service to the school through the library. The staff consists of Laura Cassese, President; Arlene Nedosit- ko, Vice-President; Arlene Kovelski, Secre- tary and Treasurer; Mrs. Pirie, Faculty Ad- viser. Their main duties are checking books and attendance, and keeping shelves, mag- azines, and files in order. The club is a member of the Nassau County School Li- brary Assistants Association which meets two or three times a year. 59 MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB The Model Airplane Club was organized for boys to assemble and construct various models. With the expert advice of Mr. Brezina and Mr. Monk, this club is looking forward to another enjoyable season. RADIO CLUB Under the supervision of Mr. Graves, the Radio Club has made good progress. The boys learned much about rad- ios and soon will be able to fix a radio like a professional re- pairman. PROJECTION CLUB The projectionists were trained by Mr. Ray Southard to handle a motion picture projector. They volunteered to show movies during their study halls and during the winter months, at lunch time. JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross had a very profitable year with Margaret Lavens as President and Madeline Pascarella as Vice-President directing its movements. Red Cross boxes were sent overseas to Europe for D. P. children. Its final movement was sending something interesting and worthwhile to the adopted village of Correggio, Italy to acquaint them with our school system. Our High School Band, directed by Arthur Dougherty, has greatly improved in the last few years. They have played at most of our assemblies. Senior Play, and football games, and have marched in various parades. To bolster their uni- BAND form fund, they sponsored a dance in honor of the King and Queen of West- bury, George Zippel and Doris Smith. They also held their annual Spring Con- cert. Even greater success is in sight for our band. Football The Football team coached this year by Victor Connor, got ofF to a bad start by losing four games in succession. It redeemed itself by a good win over Hicks- ville, our traditional rival. The season was completed by losing a rousing tussle with Great Neck, an unde- feated team. 65 jfSTBefl BVj,f i [ ugh I I xVSTWi, { jr 1 Soccer is a new and growing sport at Westbury. The team was just admitted to the league and, although unable to achieve victory, played many close games and placed two players, Anthony Cata- lanello and Neil Catapano, as honorable mentions on the all-scholastic team. CROSS COUNTRY Under the guidance of its new coach, Mr. Moreno, the cross country team showed promise this year. However, it was handi- capped, as usual, with few par- ticipants. Its fortunes may be bolstered next year with the re- turn of some of its underclassmen members plus a few more hearty athletes. 66 A comparative newcomer to Westbury's sport lineup, the rifle team is on its way to becoming a better known sport. This year, guided by Mr. Backus, two old- timers, Dick Schwendler and Bruce Rhodehouse joined a host of eager newcomers. Though the wins were few, the promise for next year is great. RIFLE TEAM BOWLING TEAM A lusty infant in Westbury's sports arena is the bowling team. Having had a fairly good start upon entering the league two years ago, Mr. Fitzgerald's charges should kick up their heels to most opposing clubs this year. Back with the team this season is Walter Krokowski Westbury's leading bowler and Tony lovino and Richard Roese, making a very potent combination with many newcomers fighting for the fourth and fifth slots. This team should prove to be a credit to the school this year. 67 Basketball Westbury ended the '51-'52 season with a four six league record and an overall record of ten eight. The Green and Gold five, composed of all seniors, showed considerable spark at times and lost many games by a narrow margin. Virgil Abbatiello and Maurice Scro were top scorers with 266 and 211 respectively. Bruce Dalton was again the play maker of the team and the best ball handler. The rebounding was handled by Randy Bruckner, George Zipple, and Putt Widmeyer. TRACK This year's track team may well prove to be one of the best in West- bury's history. Touted by coach Vevante to be a championship team, it contains most of its returning lettermen and some good Freshmen. With Vinnie Alexander and Mike Rossi pounding the cinders, we've got a pretty unbeatable team. GOLF The Westbury High School golf team should have a very success- ful season this year. With Charlie Jablonski, Jim Ketcham, Johnny Strada, Mike Bracco and John Query, the team should be right up among the leaders on the North Shore. The team's schedule included Farmingdale, Seacliff, Chaminade, Hicksville, Manhas- set, Glen Cove, Roslyn, and Gar- den City. 70 Baseball With the loss of only three first stringers due to graduation, Westbury's baseball team under the guidance of coach Vic Connors will pose as a major threat in taking the North Shore league championship. The team is well stocked in seasoned veterans and will rely on the hitting of Pat Napolitano and Bruce Dalton along with the effective twirling of Maurice Scro and Alden Gray, nucleus of the pitching staff, for a winning season. The only consolation, if any, last year was a four-two win over Farm- ingdale, which was the only loss suffered in league competition by the Nassau Champs. 71 Cheerleaders Our eight peppy cheerleaders spurred our football and basketball teams on throughout the '51-'52 season. Never lagging in school spirit or energy, they were (counter clockwise) Gloria lannucci-captain, Carol Vitucci-co-captain, Joan Magliari, Doris Smith, Pookey Crowley, Ann Nicol, Pat Dalton and Mary Rose Schneider. 72 Girls' Athletic Association girls of the high school rricular sports revolve, major letter or gold star. r''X t The Girls' Athletij an organization arou Through a point system, according to their ability anfe This year, under the guiabnc?? ofJ)A ss Eliza Proly and her executive board, consisting of Winifred Growtey, president; Barbara Ried, vice- president; Laura Staton, secretory; Kb Madsen, treasurer; and Shirley Deskins, publicity managerx re G.
