v . JoAjVUNG- TIME TABLE We pay tribute to... Charged with fun. Wha’ happ’m?! Why shore! Sign off! | knewit Dear Readers, Flash! The yearbook has been dedicated. We’ve chosen a person who we think is just great. Since adjectives cannot describe his many moods and expressions, we have five photographs which best present him. Some are serious, but, all are happy because this teacher puts his heart into teaching. You ask us how we know? One just has to be in his class to get that “happy” feeling. Who is he? Wesley A. Graves, teacher, friend, and scientist. To him we dedicate the 1956 Wing and Spur, a timely review of life at WHS of which he is a part. The Editors ■ ■ ■ The ' who set MR. JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal He is swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. Look for him chatting with students in the main hall, working in his inner sanctum, on his way to a meeting or writing notices. DR. CECIL RICE Superintendent Laugh and the world laughs with you. Dr. Rice advocates this while visiting the classrooms and cafeteria, cracking jokes in assembly, and while contemplating in his office. His big job of carrying out a complete educa- tional program is seeing that there are enough school rooms, buildings, seats, textbooks, supplies and personnel. In addition, Dr. Rice organizes and operates the budget and acts as the executive officer of the Board of Education. Planning for the future and studying educational trends are also a must. Mr. Kickham makes sure that a workable schedule is set up, that a variety of courses are offered, that teachers meet requirements and make use of available equipment. He, also, does a million and one things that will help make a happy school and turn out good citizens. MR. RAY N. SOUTHARD Ass't Principal He that can have patience can have what he will. Mr. Southard can be found at the receiving end of the attendance line, sending Miss Nelson on her way, checking on the detention room patrons, or, if all else fails, riding in his bright yellow hard-top convertible. Behind the scenes Mr. Southard has charge of the attendance and registrar records, in addition to the students permanent transcripts. He, also, heads the visual education department in the high school. 6 02642874 our clock in motion...

Miss Bronner, met with a ski accident, they had a big elec- tion for class officers. Working hard on their constitution has produced worthy results. It is one of the best Westbury has ever had. In addition their treasury is be- ginning to get that heavy bulge. By selling tickets for the annual Kiwanis Kapers, they received 25 cents on the dollar for every ticket sold. Another class activity was the frosh social which turned out to be a gala affair at which everyone had a good time. Row J—A. Barbati, J. Rocco, J. Agres, K. Concagh, D. Elis. Row 2—B. Hansen, F.

The class of '58 has been very active and is quickly filling up the Pioneer, a scrapbook started when they were freshmen. Pictures of the float which won second prize in the Halloween contest and all of their monthly bulletins (something new at W.H.S.) are among the many entries in the Pioneer. Their Valentine’s Day play was really superb and their Glenn Miller Dance (a first at W.H.S.) was enjoyed by all. To top off their numerous class activities, the sophomore class toured the United Nations on May 25th. With such an active year they are sure to have further success as juniors in W.H.S. C. Kaufman, Vice President; Mr. Crane, Advisor; J. Savino, Secretary; R. Hladky, Treasurer. Missing from picture: K. Gebhard, President. 19 The juniors are... Mr. McDermott, Miss Kelly, Advisors. Standing—R. Kremer, Vice President, I. Woplington. R. DeRose, E. lonnaccone, W. Cirigliano, W. Welch, R. Bacon. Sitting—B. Dill, P. Para, C. Olson, S. Williams, Secre- tary, J. Leonardi, M. Wood. Missing from picture are I. MacKinnon, President, and J. Aim, Treasurer. The juniors have had a terrific year, due in a large part to Ian MacKinnon, President; Bob Kremer, Vice President; Sally Williams, Sec- retary; and John Aim, Treasurer; and also to Miss Kelly and Mr. McDermott, class advisors. The class did quite well selling Christmas decorations and also refreshments at the home basketball games and they hope to make even more money next year. Their prom, of course, was their biggest and best “Moment To Remember. So far the juniors have had three wonderful years, but are looking forward to their last year as the best. Row j—n. Lassiter, N.

Four years ago we entered the halls of Westbury High High School as small, scared Freshmen. Advised by Mr. Cox and Miss Kendall, we became the first class to organize during the Freshman year. We elected our officers, Daryl Ney, Pres- ident; Michael Cimino, Vice President; Barbara Grywin, Sec- retary; and Louis D’Arpa, Treasurer. Since few of us knew one another very well, we began the year with a get acquainted square dance in the old (and at that time, the only) gym. This set us off with a balance of six dollars and fifty cents in the treasury. Our class had much to be proud of in that first year. The J. V. football team consisted mostly of freshmen. Leaders’ Corps originated and the charter members were Mary Kickham, Daryl Ney, Audrey Backer, Nancy Orans, Barbara Grywin, Deborah Graham, Dorothy Graham, and Mary Anne Masica. Dorothy Graham was elected as a member at large to the Nassau County Junior Red Cross, Junior-Senior High School Coun- cil. This started a four year round of service to the County Council. A memorable event was the completion, halfway through our Freshman year, of the new addi- tion to the building. Thus we have had the use of a new gym, cafe- teria, and library during our four years at Westbury High School. In our sophomore year we elected Carmine Marano as our President, and Louis D’Arpa as V.P. Miss Sullivan joined Mr. Cox as class advisor. They were to remain as such for our ensuing time in high school. The other class officers were Ginger Vacchio, Secretary; Rudy Salvi, Treasurer. Ginger Vacchio was elected to the Student Council as Secretary-Treasurer. We were also proud to have her elected to the cheering squad. This year and our Junior year were the years of that crazy mixed up schedule: floating sixth period sure confused us students and who knows what it did to the teachers. Elections found Ed Gannon handling our money and Mary Jane Trainer wielding the pencil. Our Junior year was one to remember! The Prom was coming up and we needed funds, so, we held a cake sale in the village and what a cake sale! We dragged the customers in. (Made a lot of money too.) The theme for that memorable Prom was “Aqua Fantasy.” The gym was decked out with fish, boats, nets, pirate’s chests and the pride of our hearts—that huge clam shell for the band. We provided entertainment by dusting off the cobwebs from our talented class members: John Bracco sounding his trumpet, Tina Carrill and Bobbie Halpin singing, and Harold Mock’s always popular piano playing. All in all, an exceptionally good time was had by those who attended. This was also the year that fifteen members of our class were thrilled to Have the honor of being inducted into the National Honor Society. These students were Mary Anne Masica, Daryl Ney, Mary Kickham, Marilyn Claeson, Deborah Graham, Dorothy Graham, Robin Miner, Nancy Orans, Barbara Grywin, Carole Glovak, Joan Asch, Larie Bauer, Audrey Backer, Pat Hoare, and Lester Neidell. Also distinguished among our members were the co-captains of the twirlers: Carole Glovak and Leilani Peppe. Mary Kickham and Robin Miner were sent to Girls’ and Boys' State respectively, naturally. They both had bang-up times. Other awards given to members of our class were the Ford Motor Company Industrial Art Awards. In 1954, Peter Kelly received one for wood turning. A part of the prize was a trip to Detroit. P.S. He didn’t get a ticket back. In 1955, we had three class members who received Ford awards. They were Martin Keating who received one for wood turning, Walter Wolf who received one for wood carving, and Ernie Skulte who received one for furniture making. Carmine Marano, in his first year of competition, won the 168 lb. championship in the North Shore Wrestling Tournament and the Outstanding Wrestler Award. Another honor bestowed upon us was Barbara Halpin’s winning the oratorial contest. As a result of the G.A.A. elec- tions held in the spring of ’55 a bouncy year, five of our class mem- bers were elected to the executive board. These members were: Daryl Ney, President; Edith Dalton, Vice President; Mary Martin, Secretary; Joy Hornung, Publicity Manager; and Carol McClimon, Treasurer. At class night ’55, a new foot- ball award, the Frank Regan Award, was instituted with our own John Bracco being the first recipient. Ah! that Senior year! Now, we’re talking. Some of us never stopped. In spite of that unique auditorium homeroom, we seniors did all right, if we may say so ourselves. Ah! Those beautiful voices singing Happy Birthday sounded like . . . Metropolitan Opera Chorus—what else? The class was off to a good start by winning first prize with our Halloween Float at the Halloween Party and Parade sponsored by the Kiwanis. Once again Ed Gannon was elected Treasurer by a write-in- vote and Mary Jean Martin claimed top honors as Secretary. “Sket” and Louis were continued in office. The one tragedy and mystery of our high school days was the disappearance of Snook, our yearbook sales campaign dummy. His whereabouts and confiscators still remain a question mark and we guess they always will. He was always wild anyway. THIS IS WHAT WE LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE WERE SOPHOMORES: Row 1—P. Mollitor, M. Meisel, A. Puglisi, C. McClimon, B. Small, R. Summa, R. Nowak, M. Rybak. Row 2—J. Zollo, A. Vacchio, F. Rickenbacker, D. Thompson, J. Maxwell, E. Moore. Row 3—R. Cissler, A. Lawrence, Mr. Vigilante, J. Bracco, N. Disbrow. 45 View our past... During the football season we sold football pins, had pep rallys and best of all had Juke Box Jumps after victories. Three seniors were chosen for the cheering squad one of whom became captain. They were Barbara Suchan, Leilani Peppe and Ginger Vacchio, captain. Carole Glovak continued to captain our twirlers. A senior class election brought Daryl Ney the Daughters of the American Revolution Citizenship Award. Joan Asch received a Certificate of Merit from the National Merit Scholar- ship Association. Mary Muller received the Homemaking Award sponsored by General Mills, a fine man. John McKeefery talked his way into top honors in the Oratorical Contest. In addition several athletes were honored. Brian Tuohy seemed to have a strangle hold on the outstanding athlete award for cross country as he won it for the second time. Foot- ball season got off with a bang under the co-captainship of John Bracco and Carmine Marano. For his efforts Carmine was awarded a berth on the Nassau All-Scholastic Football team. The Student Council with John Bracco as president, Brian Tuohy, vice president and Ginger Vacchio, secretary-treasurer accomplished that major undertaking—revision of the Con- stitution. Due to their efforts S.P.'s reappeared, a super talent show was sponsored and a book store was started. On the literary side, our class had members leading them too. The school paper, Whisp, did well under the triple editor- ship of Joan Asch, Judy McDermott, and Templeton Mossman. The yearbook, Wing and Spur, also operated under a trium- virate of Audrey Backer, Mary Kickham, and Robert Gurfield. Other editors were: Nancy Orans, Art (it’s terrific); Doris Koveleski, Typing; Marcia Smith, Layouts; Barbara Halpin, Promotion; and Robin Miner, Photography. The King and Queen Dance at Christmas time, sponsored by our class, was a great success and certainly one to remember. We were proud to crown Ginger Vacchio as our Queen and Carmine Marano as our King. The National Thespian Society, much to our delight took in eight members of our class. They were Barbara Halpin, Mary Anne Masica, Joan Asch, Mary Muller, Deborah Graham, Barbara Mandel, and Michael Strasberg. Robin Miner who had been taken in the year before is President. He also won two gold stars and has been outstanding in all phases of dramatics. Much to our joy, the Safety Patrol was returned at about mid-year. Also, at this time, the class was busy selling Westbury pins with the graduation years on them to the students. John Rougas and Walter Wolf were outstanding soccer players. Harold Mock captained the basketball team to a playoff berth in the Nassau championships. The wrestling team was stacked with seniors. In December, the Seniors did a bang up job with their play, “The Babbling Brooks.” With a cast including Mary Anne Masica, Barbara Halpin, Deborah Graham, Barbara Mandel, Margarite Meisel, Annette Samuels, Rhoda McCormick, Robin Miner, Cliff Muma, Mike Strasberg, and Elliott Bean, and a premier performance, how could it fail? The play, a domestic comedy, was most successful (financially and otherwise). This class, with some more original ideas, began a Math Club and a Senior Announcement Committee. The purpose of this committee is to see that each homeroom hears of all sales, dances and other activities. The Math Club was a brief intel- lectual undertaking; it was later embalmed. We sold Christmas cards, and many of us were stuck holding the bag (cards if you must)—minus four dollars. The National Honor Society inducted seven more members from our class. They were Doris Koveleski, Marcia Smith, Janet Zollo, Suzanne Ratigan, Templeton Mossman, Robert Gurfield, and John Casali. Three senior English classes having read the play Macbeth, decided to dramatize, in groups, scenes from the play. Before anyone realized what was happening it had developed into an assembly program of seven separate scenes with a narrator to tie them together for the audience. This proved to be a really unique performance (to say the least). There was never one like it given. The Dramatics Club continued the “first” tradition with the presentation of “Mrs. McThing.” This was a major undertaking requiring not one but two stage sets. In the cast were Joan Asch, Mike McNamara, Terry Mulligan and Cliff Muma. Robin Miner designed and built the set. In May, we had our Senior Ball and this was the night of all nights! It was our night. The theme was Secret Garden, the time May 12th, the mood heavenly, the scene beautiful. No senior can ever forget such an evening as that! A distinguishable note to our graduation was the fact that we are the last graduating class to have students from Carle Place. Thus, we turn the book on another era in our lives: our mem- orable high school days. Those glorious days of fun, work, activities, social events and the ups and downs of boys and girls together. Perhaps the cover of the book may grow dusty but these moments shall live on in our hearts forever! 3:00 A.M.—TERM PAPER DITHER HOME WAS NEVER LIKE THIS NOON TIME CONCERTS A SPECTRE IN OUR MIDST -Btrfh DON’T LOOK DOWN!!

Leathercraft and the other arts and crafts classes make up an integral part of Westbury’s varied elective courses. Spread before you on these pages is the sum total of a year’s hard work. From mechanical drawing and math to social studies and public speaking, from Spanish and home economics, to art and auto mechanics, these are the things that we have done and this is what we have to remember. Memory and anticipation; these are the composites of daily life at Westbury High School. Freshmen studying gen- eral science look forward eagerly to their junior year and chemistry; typing one students anticipate secretarial practice. Those of us who have besieged Mr. Payne with questions concerning jobs and college review with nostalgia the hours we have spent in gym and driving, and the hours we have spent in the library checking references for last-minute history and English assignments, and, of course, term papers. Together, these few pages equal a year. Whether it be your freshman, sophomore, junior or senior year, it is imma- terial. The year has passed and here before you is the memory of it; of all its overdue assignments, class projects, unexpected A's, the fun of good companionship, and, for nearly all of us, the satisfaction of a job well done.

The original eight members of this organization are graduating seniors. Drawing up its rules, planning its inductions, and preparing its lesson plans were among their first undertakings. With uncertain aims and accomplishments at its beginning, it has developed into an efficient organi- zation. While Miss Proly acted as chairman and advisor, the members were beginning to collect their thoughts. Then the work really began! Enthusias- tically they began their instruction for taking over classes, teaching skills, and conducting calisthenics. Then, in order to compensate for such a small mem- bership, it was decided to induct new members. Thus the task became greater as these new inductees had to be trained for leadership but the task was completed successfully. Even though the Corps is still in its youth, with the willingness evidenced in its members, successful years are seen ahead. 56 LIBRARY CLUB: Standing L. to R.—Mary Jo Sherwood, Dylis Llewelyn, Carolyn Tiemonn, Penny Peck, Sue Goddard, Beth Leibold. Seated L. to R.—Mrs. Pohl, Gail Lipton, June Dever. The Junior Red Cross has had a very lively year and it seems as if they outdid themselves in worth- while projects. Christmas stockings were filled for veterans and the members baked cookies which were sent to hospitals. Also in the line of hospital work they made cheery place mats for holiday dinner trays of veterans. In March, gift boxes for overseas were again filled and some of the members acted as hostesses at the blood bank. Still being worked upon are two even bigger projects—a chest to be sent overseas to aid high schools in disaster areas, and an afghan to be sent to the vets’ hospital. Members of the Library Club performed varied tasks this year, from checking, cataloguing and arranging books to serving as traffic cops in the crowded study periods. These professional book- worms have also completed several projects, among them a library staff manual, attractive book displays in the hall showcases and a trip to a book jobber. Led by P. Peck as President, D. Cassata, Vice-Presi- dent, D. Llewelyn, Secretary, and C. Liemann as Treasurer, they completed a successful year well known for their service with a smile. 57 cheerfully and...

The bowling team, under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald, is part of the wide range of sports activities available to students at W.H.S. The team belongs to the North Shore League, which is com- prised of twelve of the schools in this area, all the teams of which bowl in Manhasset on Monday nights. Although this was not one of our best years, much is expected of next season, especially with men like E. lannaccone and T. Lagnese returning to the team. This will mean a group of experienced bowlers to start the season next December. Not in preparation for a bear hunt but for recre- ation, the Rifle Club blazes a trail of glory toward the goal of 100% marksmanship.

Marano, the wrestling team had a successful second season. With the toughest schedule in its league the record is one to be proud of. The team was upset by some teams that were considered “sure wins, but did its share of the upsetting. A fourth place was the best the team could do in the North Shore Tournament as several key competitors (including co-captain T. LaFemina) were injured. Six wrestlers walked off with honors: J. Casali, A. Monteforte, and B. Sulgar taking third place, and C. Marano, L. Neidell, and S. Callinan winning gold medals. In the Sectional Championships, we along with the other North Shore schools fared poorly.

Through all seasons of the year, the girls flock to G.A.A. sports and activities for a good time. Under the management of Daryl Ney as president, Edie Dalton as vice president, Carol McClimon, treasurer, and Joy Hornung, publicity manager, the G.A.A. promotes not only sports but social activities as well. Main events this year were playdays, the Mother-Daughter Banquet, and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Each was a financial success as well as a great deal of fun. The classes shared duties: dinner was prepared by the seniors and served by the juniors; while the sophs took over clean-up and other odd jobs. High spot of the banquet was the awarding of loyalty chevrons for faithful attendance at team sports. A higher award, the shield, came next, and the major W,” highest award of all, was presented to a select few. The G.A.A. has made available to all the girls a worthwhile form of enjoyment for almost every afternoon. And yet, it not only provides entertainment but a good education in sportsmanship as well. 76 Row 1—J. Savino, E. Kickham. Row 2—L. Bauer, E. Dalton. Row 3—R. Grant, B. Holm, B. Suchan.
