This historical recording of your days here at West- bury will afford you many happy memories in years to come. The year has been marked by significant growth and achievements which have added a bright page to the rich history of our school. In your performances you have received the plaudits of your contemporaries and you in turn have rejoiced in their successes. Your entire school-day relationships have been based on a vital community spirit, marked by friendliness, understanding, cooperation, and loyalty. Such a spirit of concerted effort, with opportunity for individual enterprise, has enabled our school to achieve great heights in all fields of endeavor. All members of the faculty join me in com- mending you highly on your accomplishments. Our lives must ever be bound inextricably to the lives of others. Our school experiences have taught us to work and to dwell together in peace and harmony, in the great tradi- tion of our American heritage, in which personal worth and respect for the human soul transcend all other values in importance. May you ever pay service to that great heritage, and may your school training and spirit carry over into your graduate years to give you strength and confidence in building a full and successful life. Very sincerely yours, Cecil L. Rice DR. CECIL L. RICE Superintendent Dear Seniors: You stand on the brink of a new world. Take into the life you are about to enter the good things of the past four years. Take with you duty to performance; responsibility to citizenship; loyalty to friends. As you expand your horizons, learn to be yourself; learn to use your own talents — do not imitate those of others; cultivate kindness and consideration toward your associates; learn to distinguish right from wrong, truth from untruth; and above all have the courage to seek what is right and to say what is true. Sincere best wishes, John W. Kickham MR. JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal 6 and advice to cherish This year and in years to come Mr. Southard will be re- membered as he patiently fills out absentee cards and works on programs in an effort to please each and every one of us. Also as head of the Visual Education Department, he has charge of the school projectors and other visual-aid equipment. Mr. Southard can be found in any part of the school giving his time to various situations which require his capable attention. No matter what type of problem confronts them, the students know that he will lend a “helping hand.” Taking moving pictures at the fall football games is one of the many ways in which he shows an earnest interest in our school activities. Above all, Mr. Southard contributes to the friendly atmosphere we all enjoy and appreciate here at Westbury. MR. RAY N. SOUTHARD Assistant Principal MR. LEON A. PAYNE Guidance Director As Guidance Director, Mr. Payne spends a great deal of time seeing that our students have well organized programs for their four years at Westbury High School. He helps us in planning our futures with care in regard to colleges, business schools and job opportunities. This he accomplishes through carefully arranged College Night and Career Night pro- grams. During this past year, Mr. Payne has made arrangements for several college representatives to visit our school. At this time we have the opportunity to ask our questions and discuss our futures. In his office are catalogues and bulletins from colleges and universities all over the nation; these are available for use by the student body. Mr. Payne can also be consulted on scholarship matters, and he proctors the scholarship and cooperative tests given in the high school. We, too, will remember Mr. Payne’s patient, dignified man- ner as part of the Westbury tradition. 7 The editors of L.

SECRETARIES Kathleen Robinson, Dahlgren Etchison, and Marianne Kowal- chuk, shown left to right, handle the secretarial affairs here at Westbury High. CUSTODIANS Taking some time off from their many chores are our custodians: Wesley Davis, James Foster, Anthony Tufaro, and Sal Canniac- cone pictured left to right. CAFETERIA STAFF Antoinette Pascarelli, Jennie Martillo, Letti Bunn, Manager; and Lee Blansfield, who are pictured left to right, can be seen busy in the kitchen preparing our lunches. Fortunate we are indeed to be attending a school which has a faculty as fine as ours at Westbury. Our teachers guide us in many ways other than in academic subjects and often give up their own time in order to be of help to us. The majority of the faculty are engaged in some student extra-curricular activity so that we may profit from their guidance. The wide range of subjects offered here at Westbury would be valueless were they not presented by our own faculty. It is for our benefit that we are required to complete a four year sequence in English and history before gradua- tion. Our outstanding English and history departments can be credited to the teachers who present them. The college bound members of our student body select most of their courses from the languages, mathematics and sciences. The faculty members of these departments lay the groundwork for subjects we may select as college majors. In our industrial arts, home economics and business courses, the students benefit from the interest taken by their teachers in their in- dividual progress. The art and music courses provide diver- sion for some and cultivate the talents of others. Our faculty hails from all parts of the country and they received their training at various colleges and universities. All are endowed with wonderful senses of humor which we enjoy in the classroom and they enjoy in the faculty rooms. For their genuine interest in teaching and their concern for our future success, we are grateful. Each member possesses a special quality which makes our faculty one we will never forget. 16 Class of ’57 SENIOR CLASS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Seated—Left to Right: Mr. Anthony Moreno, Adviser; S.

ROBERT ROBSON IN MEMORIAM Three Westbury High School students met with sudden and premature deaths this past year. Edward Froehlich, a junior, drowned in Long Island Sound; soon afterwards, Melvin Rushmore died having had only a taste of high school life. The third boy was Robert Robson, our friend and classmate. Bob exemplified the American high school student. He was quiet but friendly, spending much of his spare time bowling with friends. Bob died suddenly on Friday afternoon, Janu- ary 18, 1957, two days before his eighteenth birthday. We, the students of Westbury, are proud to honor these three boys not as great athletes or scholars but as members of a working team—the Westbury High School team. 39 Looking Ahead ... PP ££ ti i.

S., our Fresh- men, advised by Mr. Roger Cox and Mr. Sal Insolera, settled down to the orderly life of high school students. The class of 1960 is the largest class entering Westbury and shows promise of upholding our many traditions. They have presented an excellent record both scholastically and athletically with a high showing on the honor roll and an enthusiastic turnout for all the major frosh sports. As seniors about to enter either into college or business, we offer one sincere piece of advice: enjoy your remaining three years not only socially and athletically but scholastically; for you will never have a second chance to advance so rapidly and so painlessly into today's complex society. Savor your taste of science, math, music and history and capitalize on your four years of English, for these subjects will provide a founda- tion for future sucess.

Advised by Mr. John Hotchkiss and Mr. Frank Korber and led by their capable officers, they held a successful cake sale early in the school year. Other highlights on their social and economic agenda included a Val- entine’s Dance in February and a memorable class trip to New York and the United Nations head- quarters in May.

The Italian Villa turned out to be a highly successful event on the Westbury social schedule.

STUDENT COUNCIL Our Student Council, operating under a new constitution drawn-up by the council of 1956, serves as a liaison among the student body, the faculty and the administration. With the aid and cooperation of Mr. Joseph Matthews and Mr. John Kickham, it has proved to be one of the most active general organizations in Westbury's history. By sponsoring various student activities such as the football pep rally, victory dances, and several assemblies for Westbury High athletes, it has been instrumental in bringing school spirit to what had previously been a very apathetic student body. When the need arose, the council, assisted by our cheerleaders, arranged for bus transportation to all the football and basketball away games, thus providing a strong cheering section for two of Westbury’s most suc- cessful teams. Another of the council’s many “odd jobs was the sale of review books. Some of the council members were selected to serve on the High School Student Advisory Council of the Westbury Recreation Depart- ment to aid in planning a village-wide program of recreation. This has opened a new era in Student Council influence and is certainly indicative of the progress made by this year's legislators. In a period of school growth, such as we are entering, an effective general organization is not only beneficial to students, faculty, and administration, but essential to the smooth operation of our school. We hope that the efforts of this Student Council of 1957 have been successful in laying the ground work for future generations at W.H.S. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS: Our Student Council Officers for 1956-57 seem to be planning some new activities. Secretary Ian MacKinnon, and Vice-President Tom Costello are pictured reviewing some new ideas that President Jim Zaino, center, has contributed. reads LIFE Seated—Left to Right: Treasurer S.

HONOR SOCIETY Induction into the National Honor Society is the highest honor con- ferred upon students at Westbury High School. The Society recognizes four cardinal objectives as fundamental in all true education: scholar- ship, leadership, character and service. Only those who successfully exhibit these qualities are selected. To meet its financial obligations, the Society sponsored several cake sales. As a service to the school, the members ushered at various school functions: Open School Night, the Spring Band Concert and Graduation. Preliminary work was done for the establishment of an Alumni Association at W.H.S. If it materializes, this organization will serve to keep graduates of Westbury informed on the high school activities throughout the years. In June the Society presented a $50 bond to a deserving senior. The faculty chose the recipient on the basis of service rendered to the school for four years, leadership for the good of the school, and character. One stipulation for receiving the award is that the in- dividual is not eligible for Honor Society membership. Inductions this year were held on February 8 when twenty Seniors and Juniors received their pins before repeating the pledge of the National Honor Society. Seated—Left to Right: -E. Kickham, M.

These seniors, Lynn Woplington, Lois Woplington, Sally Williams, Joyce Mendreski, Tommy Ratigan, George Jahel- ka, and Benny Morselli help to eliminate the congestion in the halls of W.H.S. STUDENT PATROL Because of the confusion in the halls, seven students were chosen to help maintain order. Selected by the Student Council, they were given posts where they could be of the most assistance. In addition to their regular duties between classes, the Student Patrol also helped to direct the student body into the gymnasium for assem- bly programs.

JUNIOR RED CROSS Westbury High School’s chapter of the American Junior Red Cross has been very active this year. Under the sponsorship of Miss Eva Bronner, the Club holds a general meeting once a month. The publicity, afghan, small toys, school chest, and placemat committees meet on alternate Fridays to work on their respective projects. The products of these committees are sent to veterans’ and children's hospitals. The most important project of the Red Cross is the school chest, which furnishes recreational and educa- tional supplies for schools in disaster areas. The Red Cross plays a significant part in developing good citizens by encouraging the students to help others and to participate in charitable activities both during and after their high school years. 56 education EMBRYO TEACHERS Seated—Left to Right: First Row—Miss Harriette Kuhlman, Adviser; V.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA For the first time at Westbury, a Future Teachers of America group has been organized. Its members are famililiarized with the aims and purposes of the teaching profession, and it hopes to encourage more qualified students to enter the teaching field. The group, which is sponsored by Miss Harriette Kuhl- man and Mr. Joseph Raziano, consists of twenty-seven charter members, including sophomores, juniors and seniors. Although the club is in its primitive stage, it has completed many projects successfully. Several of the projects which the group has undertaken during the past year are operating visual aid equipment, assisting teach- ers on open school night, and visiting elementary schools during their daily sessions. This new addition to our high school activities has met with a lot of spirit and enthusiasm from the student body. Seated—Left to Right: Adviser Mrs. Marie Pohl, Treasurer C.

LIBRARY CLUB Library Club, one of the few pure service organizations at Westbury, offers valuable training to future librarians and office workers. Many are unfamiliar with the invaluable services ren- dered by club members toward a better, more smoothly operating, library. Mrs. Marie Pohl, school librarian and club adviser, supervises such activities as book displays, book mending, the maintenance of library shelves, and the clerking of all incoming and outgoing books. Each member works a minimum of two periods a week in these various phases of library duties. Thanks to the unselfish efforts of the Library Club and Mrs. Pohl, the students have access to an excellent, effi- cient library. 57 editorials WING AND SPUR This year the staff of the Wing and Spur exerted considerable effort to produce a year book of distinction. In order to benefit from each individual’s ideas, talents, and creative ability, we worked on a group basis for many phases of the book. The staff spent many tedious but happy hours working during the sixth period and after school. Before each deadline was met, writeups, captions and headlines had to be checked and rechecked; the final chore was the culmination of the individual accomplishments of the writing, typing, art, photography, and layout staffs. A great deal of the staff's success can be accredited to the new year book adviser, Mrs. Jean Angstadt, and to veteran advisers Mr. Robert Heist, Mr. Wesley Graves and Miss Constance Soulias.

The members, under the supervision of Miss Ruth Kelly, gave a Christmas party, wrote and acted-out plays, and heard lectures by several teachers on different Spanish- speaking countries. They also saw Spanish movies at Hofstra and Adelphi colleges and gave a Spanish dinner. For the first time this year, freshmen were allowed to join as honorary members if they maintained a 90% average in Spanish. Also, the club sponsored many money-making projects in order to present pins at the end of the year to members with perfect attend- ance. 62 BI-LINGUAL FRENCH CLUB Our French students, with Miss Jean Bodgzie- wicz as their adviser, have carried on many worthwhile and profitable activities. They meet every other week to learn more about native France, her people and culture. The club took trips to see French operas and movies where they learned France's cus- toms and folk lore. Their experiments in French cooking have made them oustanding chefs. French baked goods and other special dishes highlight their endeavors. All in all, these avid French students think their club is tres bien! Seated—Left to Right: Aedilis J. Stewart, Quaestor L. Bellhouse, Consul D. Kinsey, Co-Consul E. Ander- son, Scriba M.

THE JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE ‘When in Rome do as the Romans do.” The members of the Junior Classical League have applied this proverb quite practically. They formed their club, under the guidance of Miss Beatrice Keevil, to become better acquainted with the civilization, language, literature and art of Rome. By learning more about anicent Rome, the League acquires a better under- standing of how our own culture began many years ago. The club carried on many projects and activities through the year. These students sang Christmas Carols in Latin, made Roman calendars and studied about Rome's ancient cities. Corresponding with young people in Corregio, Italy and sending a CARE package to Italy were also part of their program. The Junior Classical League is one of the most active clubs in Westbury High School. Bottom Row—Left to Right: C. Humphrey, S. Rockow, J. Griffler, J. Regan, J. Sherchuk, C. Siegel, C. Spielman, J.

For the benefit of those students who are interested in the science of celestial bodies’ a new ASTRONOMY CLUB has been organized at Westbury. Under the guidance of Mr. John Shuttleworth, members became acquainted with the many facets of astronomy through telescopes, discussions and field trips. An early foray was an excursion to the New York Planetarium for a presentation of the “Christmas Star.” Recent interest on the part of many underclassmen indicates, that given time, the Astronomy Club will flourish and become an established part of our high school’s nightlife. SCIENCE CLUB has been established for the purpose of stimulating interest in the field of science at W. H. S. It gives high school students the opportunity of individual experimentation. The members of the club meet with professional scientists and dis- cuss matters of scientific interest. The club has already had a visit from an electro- chemist who demonstrated electro-plating techniques. The club, under the direction of Mr. Roy Stern, meets every Thursday; membership is open to all. We are certain this club will offer new fields for our future scientists to conquer. Seated—Left to Right: Mr. Roy Stern, Adviser; W. Gurfield, Secretary; W. Schore, President; J. Cirigliano, M.

Our TWIRLERS certainly revealed their talents at our assemblies, football games and village parades. These girls competed in an annual twirling contest which is held at various towns on Long Island. All qualified winners were awarded medals for their achievements. They belong to the National Baton Twirlers Association and participate in its various activities. The squad consists mostly of underclassmen this year who have progressed rapidly and show promise of being highly skilled in the future. 0 As a result of interest shown by a small but enthusiastic group, our chess fanatics were successful in inaugurating a new activity at Westbury. This is a CHESS CLUB for which Mr. Norman Schwartz acted as sponsor. They met informally during the lunch period. While others spent their energy dancing, these persons taxed their brains with challenging chess games. The climax of daily meetings was a tournament which determined the chess champion of Westbury High School for 1 957. 65 rasis INSTRUMENTAL AND Flutes: G Backus, E. Bernstein, J. Bishara, J. Hicks, S.

This year other activities included participating in state contests and a tri-school music festival with Roslyn and Mineola. The band also sponsored a Mid- winter Dance and played at various assembly programs. Under Mr. Arthur Dougherty’s supervision, members receive an excellent musical background and enjoy playing the musical instruments of their choice.

Under the skillful direction of Mr. Paul Margolf, this club par- ticipates in various activities. Assemblies are given by the group at Christmas and Easter and a special concert is presented in the spring. This winter brought the German custom of the “Burning of the Greens” to Westbury. Music for this occasion was supplied by the chorus. Simone Dewey, Sine Hansen, Gary Persip, Peter Vander Putten, and Robert Molloy qualified for the District chorus. Out of 1300 singers from Long Island, only 250 are chosen. Annually, our chorus combines its talents with those of Mineola and Roslyn to present the Tri-School Music Festival, which was held this year in Mineola. Selling refreshments at home football games was the main fund raiser for this industrious group. Some of the Senior Chorus members B. Moecking, B. McGrenra, G. Gray, E. McWilliam, J. Leonardo, L.

THESPIANS AND DRAMATIC CLUB In October the Dramatic Club, under the able direction of Miss Elizabeth Griffin, raised the curtain on a stage filled with interesting theater activities. The large turn out included experienced veterans and many new drama enthusiasts. The president, secretary, and treasurer of the Thespian Society were elected; these officers also act as the executives of the Dramatic Club. Membership into the Thespian Society is obtained by earning ten points through work in any and all phases of dramatics. For assembly programs and for their own enjoyment, the Dramatic Club put on one act plays during the year. At Christmas time they presented “The Perfect Carol,” a one act play depicting the story of “Silent Night.” Those who attended enjoyed a delightful evening’s en- tertainment. In an assembly for the student body, the Dramatic Club presented Thornton Wilder’s “The Happy Journey.” To wind up the year’s activities they staged a very successful three act play. With an abundance of new blood the Dramatic Club will undoubtedly arouse increased theater interest at Westbury High. THESPIANS President Lynn Waplington outlines the future activities of the Thespian Society, which includes a theater party to New York. Those who will attend are seated-left to right: V. Lester, R.

This varies widely depending upon the course chosen by each student. At Westbury, five courses of study are offered to us: college preparatory, secre- tarial, industrial arts, home economics, and general. It is interesting to note the percentage of the student body enrolled in each of these courses: college prepara- tory, 67.1; secretarial, 21.7; home economics, 1.3; industrial arts, 7.5; and general, 1.5. In this classtime section of the yearbook, we present to you a segment of each of these courses of study. The science and math classes deal, to a great extent, with the college preparatory course; the shop and homemaking classes, with their re- spective courses; and the secretarial and typing classes, with the business course. In the general course, which is new this year, the students are provided with a seg- ment of each of the four main courses. To make the day more interesting, any of these programs may be supplemented with electives; such as music, art, and drivers' education. This year at Westbury there have been some changes made. Many of us know of the new 8:00 A.M. day, but its ending at 2:25 P.M. does leave much more time for fun. In sharp contrast to this, there is one change that some of us will hail throughout the year: the newly organized bus service. Another change which has come about as a result of an earlier day is an earlier lunch period, 11:10 to be exact. Now at the end of the year, our many days living at Westbury High have ended. We can look forward with eager anticipation to next year with many new days, some new changes, and another grand school year at Westbury High. OH! THOSE EARLY MORNING WALKS!

SOCCER, enjoying new found popularity, was one of the bright spots in the Westbury sports picture this fall. The combination of an unusual collection of talent and the coaching of Mr. Bernard Dolat produced a 6-2 and 3 tie record, second only to Sea Cliff in the North Shore. Lead by Newsday All Scholastic Players Tom Costello, Erasmus lannaccone and Sandy lovino, Westbury handed the high flying Cliffmen their first defeat in three years. Costello, a defensive standout, and lannaccone and lovino our defensive stars, were ably assisted by Bill Welch and Howard Richard, veterans of two years varsity experience and under classmen Jimmy Freda and Peter Manetti. Mr. Dolat looks forward to a good season next year with an abundance of talent from the Junior and Sophomore classes.

CROSS COUNTRY Westbury's Cross Country squad had a varied amount of accomplishments this past season. Led by its captains, John Leonardo and “Bobo” Schiller, and coached by Mr. Anthony Moreno, the six man team finished the year with a 1-4 record and placed fifth in the North Shore. Although hampered by a case of bronchitis, John was able to complete the season by taking fifth in the Statewide Cross Country Finals. “Bobo” was not content to let John sweep the field of honors, for he was able to take second place in the North Shore finals. Meets are not won entirely by the members that place among the top five. It takes the other mem- bers to make it possible for a team to qualify. For this reason Tom Newman, Bill Harriott, Bill Grotto, and Ed Kutchma deserve credit for participating and working hard at practice as well as at meets. Westbury's three representatives at the New York State Championships were John Leonardo, Coach Tony Moreno, and Bob Schiller. Leonardo placed 5th and Schiller 66th out of well over a hundred of the state's best, while Mr. Moreno acquired a mild case of frostbite. 81 WONDERFUL WORLD VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Bottom Row—Left to Right: J.

This year's squad showed a hard fighting deter- mination and spirit that has characterized great teams in Westbury history. Backfield magic by Skip Clement was coupled with outstanding running from “Mr. Outside” Dick Martillo and “Mr. Inside” Jim Zaino to lead the North Shore in scoring. Halfback Hub Orr and ends Benny Morselli and Ralph Smith proved excellent targets for Clement’s spectacular passing. The big- gest surprise for Coach Coleman and the deter- mining factor in this year's success was Westbury’s “forward wall.” Sparked by center Ian MacKinnon, guards “Soc” loanidis and Joe Bruno, and power- ful tackles Joe Simon and Jack Kickham, it provided not only excellent pass protection but innumerable openings for rushing yardage. Although injured early in the season, guard Bill Cirigliano and tackle WESTBURY 1956 RECORD OPPONEN Scores Scores 27 MANHASSET 6 34 FARMINGDALE 20 13 CARLE PLACE 7 38 PORT WASHINGTON 0 14 HICKSVILLE 0 41 ROSLYN 14 42 WEST HEMPSTEAD 7 14 LEVITTOWN 6 Coaches Sal Insolera, Ray Coleman, and John Fasano and managers Bob Lippman and Tommy Ratigan provided the neces- sary encouragement behind Westbury's un- defeated team. 82 Gridders produce Here we see the Freshman Team receiving some last minute instructions prior to their last game. Jim Krysinsky, both early starters, contributed much in starting the team on its winning streak. These stalwart 60-minute men, ably assisted by specialist Bob Kremer, formed our rugged highly coordinated defensive unit allowing only 60 points in a complete season of play. Our Varsity “B squad, competing against J.V. squads of other schools, compiled a record of five wins and one loss. We congratulate co-captains Ian MacKinnon and Jim Zaino. They were selected All Scholastic and All Long Island center and All County fullback re- spectively. Proud parents and citizens attended a special football banquet honoring Coach Ray Coleman and his charges for a job well done. At the dinner the North Shore Football Championship Trophy was presented to Mr. Kickham, and each player re- ceived a miniature football commemorating West- bury High School's undefeated season of 1956. The players were also presented with trophies by the school in a special awards’ assembly. As the minutes tick by, another spectacular touch- down is made. This puts Wesfbury six points ahead. Both the cheerleaders and the spirited spectators seem excited and pleased. 83 perfect season Bottom Row—Seated: A. Riccardo, W. Gurfield, F. Rispoli, A. Severino, F. Trinceri, R. Guttman, J.

Here we see three busy members of the chorus with an industrious Doctor Rice getting the ‘‘dogs ready for the hungry customers. The chorus took over the selling of frankfurters and cokes at the football games this year in order to finance their many activities. 84 Westbury spirit “Keep it up Westbury High” was often heard as our cheerleaders led the spirited spectators at football and basketball games this year. Cheer- leading activities included participating in pep rallies and assemblies, selling tickets for away games, and selling season passes for home games to the student body. Co-captained by Ann Lynch and Lois Waplington, the squad consisted of five seniors, one junior, and two sophomores. This year’s group was selected in the spring of 1956 by im- partial judges and the student body; it was spon- sored by Mr. Kickham and frequently escorted by Mr. Sal Insolera. The success of Westbury High's cheerleaders is reflected in our almost unblemished sports' record this year. Here our varsity cheerleaders pause for a picture during an exciting football game. They are left to right: K. Welch, M. Veronesi, L. Waplington, A. Lynch, L. Suchan, M. Wood, L. Bush, and J. Leonardi. 85 plain, Ann Lynch. never dies. BASKETBALL With a final record of 13 5 the 1957 varsity squad will go down in Westbury score books as the most successful team in almost a decade. Led by All-Scholastic Honorable Mention center Jack Kickham and sharpshooting forward Ben Morselli, Westbury placed second in the league play but lost in the first round of the Nassau County Tournament. Westbury jumped to an early lead in the Central Division of the North Shore, beating all comers until a surprise mid-season defeat by Roslyn. Then followed our only other league losses at the hands of Sea Cliff and Garden City. We showed our complete superiority over the North Shore Eastern Division by beating both Hicksville and Oyster Bay twice (they finished first and second respectively). Westbury featured a well-rounded first string with a strong bench. Back court aces, Ben DeLucia and Tom Costello, combined skillful feeding and deadly outside shooting to spark the team. Under the boards Jim Zaino provided valu- able rebounding strength to round out the top five. Bob Waring and Kevin Gebhard, the only junior on the team, proved their value as substitutes, on several occa- sions by pulling the game out of danger in the closing period.

Absent: J. Shickler. Outstanding records by both the Frosh and the Junior Varsity teams foreshadow a promising future for Westbury basketball. The Frosh, led by high scoring captain Bill Grotto, posted a ten and two record losing only to Hicksville and Herricks. Skillfully selected by coach Norman Schwartz, the Junior Varsity lost only three games in a tough eighteen game schedule. The team was led by ex- perienced Juniors: Roy Taff, Bob Hladky, and Max Pinsker. Since there is only one returning member on this year’s varsity, Westbury will look forward to this team carrying the Green and Gold banner next year. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Standing: M. Falanga, J.

Almost any day of the week the boys could be found at the “Village Alleys” in Manhasset. Ken Zimmerman, Mike Chaves, Bob Randall, Laurie Moore, and Marshall Kieselstein will be back next year to provide the best team W.H.S. has had in several years. RIFLE CLUB Our marksmen find Rifle Club an enjoyable way to expel their energies. Under the coaching of Mr. Kenneth Backus, the club had a fairly successful season this year. The squad was made up mostly of underclassmen, who will return next year with even better form than they displayed this season. The team held practice sessions on weekday afternoons at the rifle range. Most of the tourna- ments took place either at our rifle range or at those of neighboring schools. Rifle Club has been and will continue to be an important part of the W.H.S. athletic program. Kneeling—Left to Right: C. Aim, C. Petersil, B. Grimm. Standing: K. Crane, H. Simon, B. Brown, R.

Coach John Fasano instructs co-captain Rich Fava in the proper way to kneel in the “referee’s position, as here demon- strated by co-captains Steve Slavin and Ian MacKinnon. 90 WRESTLING With a small and largely novice squad, the Westbury Matmen did not win a dual meet this year. However, eleven of the fourteen member squad will return next year bigger and more experienced and with no less zeal than they exhibited this year. The team was with- out a coach until Mr. John Fasano, a new and capable member of the faculty, offered to assume this position. Two of our wrestlers managed to walk off with honors in the North Shore Tournament: Steve Cullinan winning second place in the 148 lb. class and Ian MacKinnon taking the silver medal in the unlimited class. ■ ■ ■ THE TOP man Our top notch golf team for the year '57 was provided by Buddy Brown, Frank Dena, H. Barush, Tom Ratigan, Lorie Moore, and Joe Trinceri. Not pictured are Bob Roman and Richard Fischer. GOLF TEAM If you’re looking for Ben Hogan or Sammy Snead, it’s a cinch you won’t find him here. You will, how- ever, find a group of boys with the desire and ability to play a good game of golf. The golf team, in its first year of inter-scholastic competition since 1955, is headed again by Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald. All, but Tom Ratigan and Bob Roman, are re- turning for next year's team, giving the school assurance of a good golf program for its students. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL “Yale, this year’s intramural champions, went undefeated in ten games and beat the Intramural All Stars to climax their season. Cap- tained by Ken Zimmerman and led by high scoring senior, Hub Orr, the Elis are one of the finest intramural teams turned out at Westbury. INTRAMURAL CHAMPS Yale, our undefeated intramural basketball team, included Walter Von Seggern, Roger Bacon, Ken Zimmerman, Hub Orr and Bill Cirigliano.

Dryfuss, G. Conners, T. Gibson, J. Zaino, R. Kremer, D. Hurley, T. Newman. TRACK Varsity track has become firmly established as a major sport at Westbury during the era of the class of '57. Led by four year veteran Jim Zaino (State discus and shot-put champ), Westbury has seen some of its most exciting meets with Bob Kremer, pole vaulter; Bob DeRose, hurdler; Walt Von Seg- gern, quarter mile runner; and John Leonardo, mile runner; providing the major contributions toward a successful season. Evidence of good potential was displayed by many sophomores and freshmen which indicates a promising team in the future. With all this effort and concentration, Dave Hurley should throw that discus a mile. Glenn Connor, our freshman star, strains for that extra inch. 92 and hard work Here our pole-vault ace, Bob Kremer, makes it the hard way. Herb Simon, a newcomer to the team, is already one of our top men.

The returning lettermen included pitchers Sandy lovino and Keven Gebhard; infielders Gizzy lannac- cone, Ralph Smith, Bob Waring, and Tom Costello. Hammerin’Hank Clement was the sole veteran out- fielder. Newcomers to this year’s team included Benny Morselli, Jim Krysinsky, and Dick Martillo, all of whom proved to be a tremendous advantage in the team’s ultimate bid for the divisional championship. Manager Tom Ratigan also deserves recognition for his unselfish efforts for the team. Although the competition was keen, the team made a fine and creditable showing. Mr. Ray Coleman, Coach and Tom Ratigan, Manager, appear to be pleased with our Baseball team’s progress. 94 winning teams.

Adviser Miss Elisa Proly, Vice-President Rosanne Atchue, President Rosemarie Grant, Publicity Manager June Tasciotti, and Treasurer Carol Olson seem to be well in favor of Secretary Jo Ann Savino’s ideas for decorations at the G.A.A. Christmas party. For the girls interested in sports, the GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION was formed. This organization revolves around a point system for which the girls may receive loyalty chevrons, shields and major letters. The sports activities include hockey, volleyball, basket- ball, softball, and tumbling. Badminton and archery are games reserved for juniors and seniors. Another special privilege just for seniors is the Bowling Club. Under the guidance of Miss Elisa Proly and Mrs. Jean Dolat, the club carries on many activities which include playdays at home and away, selling candy, and a big Christmas party. At the end of the school year, a Mother and Daughter Banquet is given. All the girls, their mothers, and the faculty may attend. This gala affair brings an- other successful year of the G.A.A. to its close. LEADERS’ CORPS is organized to offer the opportunity of leadership training to those girls who possess the capa- bility and willingness to give of their services in Physical Education classes. Special credit is to be given to Miss Elisa Proly. She, with her encouragement and understanding, has made Leaders’ Corps the outstanding and successful organiza- tion it is today.

They have just been officiating an exciting game and as you can see, they are happy with the results. OFFICIALS CLUB Officials Club was formed for the purpose of teaching girls to officiate games in a responsible and dignified manner. Any girl who is interested in learning the regu- lations of a game may join this organization. These girls are a great help to the G.A.A. and to our gym classes. BADMINTON CLUB Badminton is one of the most popular sports enjoyed by the junior and senior girls. Here, they have the oppor- tunity to display their individual ability. After the club is formed, the girls have a few weeks of practice before the big event, the championship tournament which is held at the end of the season. BADMINTON Centered here are our Badminton champs Carol Bontemps and Lynn Townsend with managers Margery Long and Virginia Backus. 97 undefeated seniors. Taking the ball down the hockey field are J. Tasciotti, A. Lidecis, J. Howard, R. McMahon, B. Molloy, V. Lester, and L. Howe. HOCKEY During the fall season sophomore, junior, and senior girls could be found playing hockey Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. This year the intramural team stand- ings were (1) Linda Howe, junior; (2) Asja Lidecis, sopho- more; (3) Rose Marie McMahon, senior; and (4) Vicki Lester, junior. Mrs. Dolat aided Miss Proly with the hockey club. VOLLEYBALL Another season of volleyball meant fast, accurate serves and continuous hard practice. After a few sessions of practice, the tournament took place. We were all very proud of our undefeated senior team this year. Playdays, in which the girls were able to compete, were set up with other schools. At Christmastime a huge playday was held at Mineola High. All the volleyball players from five different schools were represented. Grab bag gifts and refreshments were awarded to all the participants. Thus the season came to a close with an equal amount of work and play. L. Bush, C. Bontemps, I. Economopoulos, C. Olson, A. Lidecis and L. Colvin acted as managers and captains during the volley- ball season. Those who frequently participated had the opportunity of playing at our playdays with Mineola and Bethpage. Others had the experience of taking part in the Long Island Field Hockey Association playday in which West- bury took second place. 98 Every sport means BOWLING CLUB: J. lovino, R. lovino, B. Moecking, N. Lubrano, D. Evans, R. Boughal, J. Tasciotti and V. Backus look on eagerly as Joyce Mendreski tries for a strike! BOWLING CLUB Every Wednesday afternoon, during the winter months, the proprietors of the Westbury Bowling Alleys prepare their establishments for an invasion by senior girls. Once the girls arrive they not only enjoy bowling but also have a snack which fortifies them for the game ahead. At the end of the season a dinner is given and trophies are awarded to the girls with the highest average, the highest score for a single game, and the most improved technique. All the participants enjoy the game and be- come capable bowlers after high school. BASKETBALL Basketball season brings a great deal of action to G.A.A. After perfecting the skills in gym class, the girls enjoy playing for the fun of the game. In the tournament Joan Evancho’s junior team took first place and Wally Stanton’s junior team, second place. Also competing were two sophomore teams and one senior team. Playdays with Mineola, Sea Cliff and Carle Place brought this season’s basket- ball season to a close. GIRLS BASKETBALL: Captains of the girls basketball teams, C. Dun- woody, J. Evancho, L. Howe, J. Pravato and D. Scher, look on as Wally Stanton gets set to take a foul shot. 99 fun for all. TUMBLING CLUB Girls sprawled on the mats, twisted into torturous positions, swinging on ropes, and hanging upside-down on the rings—these are sure signs that Tumbling Club is in session. This sport requires good coordina- tion, balance, and timing—and especially an ability to keep from giggling! The girls enjoy themselves very much, despite sore muscles. Tumbling Club completes the girl's winter sports program at Westbury. Many exciting stunts like the one pictured here can be seen every Tuesday and Thursday in the gym. ARCHERY Swoosh! We have another bulls eye and a gleeful scream from one of the members of G.A.A. Archery, a club organized for future Robin Hoods, is an annual spring sport for the girls. Juniors and Seniors can be seen with their bow and arrows every Monday and Wednesday, vivaciously aiming at that tri- colored target. Which one of these girls, Virginia Backus, left, or Barbara Moecking right, got the bull’s eye? SOFTBALL “Strike three—another out” is a familiar cry heard on the W.H.S. field during soft- ball season. This is the time of the year when the girls work outdoors on their bat- ting averages and fielding skills. Although improvement may be slow, they enjoy being in the great outdoors. What, game rained-out? These girls anticipate lots of fun during softball season (when it isn't raining). Seated—Left to Right: J. Savino, J. Regan, C. Dunwoody, L. Calvin. Standing: E. Anderson, B.

Make- c,r'9 «ano; onager; L, McGrenra, So99ern, On February 28 and March 2, 1957, the Westbury High School Senior Class presented What a Life, a delightful satire on school personalities. Led by an all-star cast and directed by Mr. Merrill D. Dollar, What a Life was a smash hit in two performances. The plot revolved around the ever popu- lar Henry Aldrich and the trials and tribu- lations of his school days at Central High. His life was plagued with frequent run- ins with several members of the faculty and many trips to Mr. Bradley’s office. Within the course of two days Henry might become involved in such notorious situations as cheating on a history exam, throwing ink wells in the principal’s office, engaging in fisticuffs with the school bully and to climax the entire show, stealing the missing band instruments. Packed full of laughs this hilarious com- edy will long be remembered by the Class of ’57 and all who attended. Where am supposed to sit? yells Bill, as his classmates push him to the floor when he attempts to join them on the bench. 103 dancing ®Ije (Elate of 1958 dirmtbe (Ecrttllum to be fjelb in ilje -BJestburtJ Jfigt; cljool CUgnurasium cm Jiatbrbag ebenmg, ttje obcieettttj of iHarc[j ®we ttjoaaanb nine bunbreb anb fiftg-seben at note o’clock 104 “Eat, drink and be merry.

SWEETHEART BALL To open their social season with a huge success, the Sophomore Class sponsored a Sweetheart Ball on February 16. Adorned in white and red crepe paper, the gym was transformed into a Valentine delight. The highlight of the evening was the selec- tion of the Sweetheart of Westbury High who was chosen for her beauty, grace, and charm. KING AND QUEEN DANCE At 10:30 on the evening of December 22, 1956, the results of Westbury High’s biggest election were announced. Ian MacKinnon and Linda Latimer were elected King and Queen of W.H.S. Mr. Kickham, an honored guest at the coronation, crowned the King and Queen. Our Royal couple, their court and all in attendance will never forget this memorable evening. The music of Chuck Spies’ Band was an added feature responsible for the success of this Yuletide festivity. Truly a sweetheart! Impartially chosen by the chape- rones at the dance, Lois Waplington was our Sweet- heart for 1957. Here Queen Linda and King Ian pose for their official coronation portrait. Dancing, along with other happy couples, is our Sweetheart and her escort, John Leonardo. 108 . , - v-1 S.
