Dear Seniors: All words, written and bound in permanent form, reflect man's Hopes, his aspirations, and his achievements of the moment, then join the on-going current of recorded his- tory and become a milestone on the pathway of life. So may this beautiful yearbook become to you — a benchmark which reflects the splendid achievements and happiness you have known in your high school days, and a landmark from which you may gain renewed strength to perform successfully the tasks that lie ahead. And these pages can give you that strength, for they record your many worthwhile successes. What you have done, you can do again and again in ever widening cir- cles of success. We of the faculty are pleased with your increased seri- ousness of purpose and share your pride in your splendid accomplishments. Truly you have earned the honored right to be numbered among the alumni of Westbury High School. Very sincerely, Cecil L. Rice THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND ITS OFFICIAL FAMILY Left to Right: Miss Alicia O'Connor, legal counsel; Mr. Myron Leslie, Mr. William Gibbs, Mr. Carl Lundborg, Mr. James Posiliico, president; Mr. James Riley, clerk; Mr. Robert Schwan, Mr. Roderick Dwyer, treasurer; Mr. Donal Mahoney, vice-president.

RICE Superintendent CDeaicalion We dedicate the 1958 WING AND SPUR to a person whom we hold in appreciation not only for the twenty-three years of service rendered by her to Westbury High, but for her unswerving loyalty, friendship, and sincerity extended to the whole student body. The success of every endeavor depends upon the quality of its foundation. Thus, we as freshmen, were fortunate indeed to have our high school careers furthered by her exacting guidance. In the years to follow, as we strive for our varied goals in life, we will always be indebted to you. Miss Marion D. Kendall. MARION B. KENDALL Page 5 Our Captains... Dear Seniors: You are leaving high school at a very critical time in the history of our country and that of the whole world. Our universe has been dwarfed, and men of all nations are looking to the skies. The launching of the first satellite relegates the fiction stories of your early childhood to the back shelves. Men are now actually thinking of and planning on space travel and colonization. It is the begin- ning of a new age of science. Where will it lead? How will it affect you? What are your opportuni- ties? These questions are hard to answer but each of you, no matter what your place in life, will have some part in this new scientific venture. Each of you, with God's help, will live to see the results of this latest move into the unknown. My thoughts of you, in this thrilling future, cen- ter about the attribute of courage. Every new era is filled with disappointments of achievement. It is only the courageous who learn by past mistakes and who are able to forge ahead regardless of the cost. May you never compromise your courage for expediency; may you continue to grow in knowl- edge and may God keep you. Sincerely, John W. Kickham MR. JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal Mr. Ray Southard, our assistant principal, has many duties and responsibilities. Often we see him checking attendance lists and the inhabitants of the detention room. As the head of the Visual Ed- ucation Department, Mr. Southard has supplied us with many hours of constructive pleasure. Figur- ing averages and issuing the honor roll are more of the jobs he renders to Westbury High. Mr. Southard can be found in almost all parts of our school, giving his time and efforts to the needs of the students. Certainly his services are many, and apprecia- tion of his work is acknowledged by all. MR. RAY N. SOUTHARD Assistant Principal Page 6 - ■ ESTHER ADLER Mathematics Queens College; Columbia University L. JEAN ANGSTADT English Wing and Spur Production Advisor Pennsylvania State University; Columbia University JEAN BOGDZIEWICZ French; Spanish French Club Montclair State Teachers College Our teachers, through the years, have served as our guiding light; their beam has shone brightly with rays of friendship and service. Through the teachings of both tangibles and intangibles, they have unveiled to us unexplored vistas of knowledge. Their warmth and understanding have guided us through the darkest waters on our quest for the truth. Without their guidance we would surely have foundered on the rocks of ignorance. From our maiden voyage as Freshmen to our final voyage as Seniors, their wisdom and helpfulness have never failed us. Yes, to our teachers we owe much. It is the memories that we hold of them which will serve as a source of strength in the years to come. ■ ft — AUGUST J.

A secretary's work is never done. Our secretaries are constantly mak- ing music with their typewriters, writ- ing out billet doux for a few late people, and keeping the notices and the files up to date. However busy they are, being cheerful and pleas- ant to the students is their prime virtue. Pictured here left to right are Mrs. Dahlgren Etchison, Mrs. Kathleen Robinson, and Mrs. Edith Hopkins. Those nutritional meals, served to Westbury High School students every lunchtime, are carefully planned by our new dietician, Mrs. Lillian Hein, who heads our capable cafeteria staff. Pictured left to right are An- toinette Pascarelli, Rita Grotto, Lettie Bunn, Lee Blansfield and Mabel Kim- ble. Always on hand when needed, our custodians can be found from dawn to dusk keeping our school neat and tidy. Pictured from left to right are James Foster, Sal lannaccone, Anthony Tafuro and Wesley Davis.

EMERIC TEDESCHI President JO ANN SAVINO Vice President CLASS OF 58 This year's Senior Class activities, under the capable guidance of Mr. Roy Stern and Mr. Emil Vigilante, were many and varied. We sold foot- ball pins, as our first money raising project, and then sponsored the Sadie Hawkin's Dance, the opening of the Westbury High School social season. This successful event provided not only a good time for those who attend- ed but also the needed capital for our future class activities. We partici- oated in the annual Kiwanis-sponsored Halloween Parade. Our entry, a nursery rhyme inspired float, won first prize. With this victory behind us, we began working toward the King and Queen Dance by selling class pins for additional operating funds. For the first time the King and Queen had a court maeje up of Seniors, elected by their classmates, with such titles as court jester and best athlete. The dance was a spectacular in true movie-land fashion; it was climaxed by the regal crowning of the King and Queen who reigned in royal splen- dor. Remembrances of this dance lingered fondly until the never-to-be-for- gotten Senior Ball. And so we leave Westbury High with fond memories to cherish always.

The highlight of our year was a memorable trip to the United Nations in New York City. The class of '60 has added greatly to the spirit of our school. Bottom Row: C. Suarez, K. McKenna, B.

FRESHMAN CLASS We freshmen, at first confused by the turmoil of school activities, quickly adapted ourselves to a new way of life. Ably lead by our ad- visors, Mrs. Elizabeth Ostrander and Mr. John McHale, we quickly drew up our constitution, which will be the foundation for our three years to come. We have presented an excellent scholastic and athletic record. This year many of our fellow classmen's names have appeared on the honor rolls and on the roll books of school clubs. At the same time, participation in frosh sports also has had high representation. As sophomores next year, the Class of '61 shall try to uphold the standards and tradi- tions of W. H. S. as were set for us by the preceding classes of our school. Bottom Row: Q. Kitchen, C. Walker, A. Hamm, C. Mort, M. Potenza, S. Waskewich, V. ladevaia, B. Rosen, J. Massaro, I. Robinson, D.

STUDENT COUNCIL Westbury High School's official governing organ is the Student Council. The Council, elected by all hbmerooms, has sponsored and promoted many worthwhile activities. A venture which received considerable applause was the Council's work in obtaining a greater variety in our luncheon menus. The long awaited G.O. (General Organization) cards were finally printed; and the success ot this accomplishment goes to our Student Council, which worked long and hard to achieve this goal. The Council also appointed a Student Patrol: Rosanne Atchue, Emilie Mills and Dagny Johnson, who help keep our crowded halls free from congestion. In view of its achievements, the Student Council is deserving of the esteem given it. Much credit also belongs to Mr. Joseph Matthews and Mr. Anthony Moreno, the Council's advisors.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Through the years, the National Honor Society has been the organization which most exemplifies the qualities which all students strive towards. The members are elected to the society by the faculty. They must display high standards in character, scholarship, and leadership. Under the able advisorship of Miss Marion Kendall, their many activities have been overwhelmingly successful. They have increased their treasury by holding cake sales and by declaring a month long work period. However, their most important activity was the initiation of an alumni association for W.H.S. As a part of a nation-wide group, the Westbury Chapter of the N.H.S. will continue setting a high example for all the student body. T March Inductees are A. Catling, J. Sirover, V. Damberg, A.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA With the aid of Miss Harriette Kuhlman, their faculty advisor, members of the Future Teachers of America attempt to explore the teaching profession from top to bottom. Guest speakers, movies, discussions on the merits of teachers7 colleges as compared with the merits of liberal arts institutions, and practical classroom experience are a few of the activities that enliven the year's schedule. The purpose of the club is to instill in its members an understanding of their intended career. AlthoGgh only in its second year of existence at Westbury, the F.T.A. has become firmly implanted as one of our outstanding activities. JUNIOR RED CROSS Westbury High School's chapter of the Junior Red Cross, advised by Miss Eva Bronner, started the school year very successfully, as their annual membership drive boasted an almost perfect enrollment. Activities of this civic league are a veteran's stocking drive, afghan project, and collections of toys for children's hospitals. The chapter's most important project is the Fill the School Chest which is con- cerned with collecting educational and athletic supplies to be sent to communities in disaster areas around the world.

As a result of its activities, the Society hopes to gain many new members and make its future as successful as its outstanding past. LATIN CLUB To acquaint Latin students of today with the lan- guage, civilization, art, and general culture of Rome is the purpose of the Latin Club. The club is comprised of seventeen active members who meet every first and third Monday in the month. Among their many activities, Latin Club members sold bookcovers to cover expenses for their annual banquet. The highlight of the year was their unique celebration of Christmas at which time they invited the French and Spanish Clubs to a novel party.

This they do by partici- pating in games, songs, and dances of Ffance. To supplement their book knowledge, they invite people who have visited France to speak about their experiences. This year's activities were culminated by a barbecue held at Salisbury Park, after which the mem- bers visited the cinema.

BAND AND TWIRLERS DANCE BAND During this past year, under the’ baton of Mr. William Kupferberg, the Westbury High School Band has added much spice to school life. They played at such functions as football games, parades, assemblies, the Spring Festival, and Tri School Concert, along with numerous other outings. The Band, led by its officers: Barbara Rothbard, President; Howard Tear, Vice-President; and Susan Stucklen, Secre- tary; has turned into a well organized group of musicians, after many hours of hard work and practice. Along with the Band, the Twirlers have added much enjoyment to football games and parades. They were guided by Carol Glovac and their elected head, Carolyn Tiemann. Through the course of many Monday night prac- tices, the Twirlers conditioned themselves to the peak of achievement. With the entering of many contests this past year, they won recognition, thus exemplifying their accom- plishments. The overwhelming acceptance of the new Westbury Dance Band by the students and faculty alike was most gratifying. It took many hours of working together as a group to develop that blend of sections and instruments that makes a good dance band. The initial appearance of the Dance Band was at the sophomore-sponsored Moon- light Madness where they were a big smash. They also participated in the Spring Concert. As indicated by the great enthusiasm of its memb’ers and wide acceptance by the student body, the W.H.S. Dance Band is going to be a terrific success not only at school functions but at its outside bookings as well. Botfom Row — Left to Right: Mr. William Kupferberg, Advisor; A. Parillo, R.

CHORUS Every Tuesday and Thursday, while ihe rest of the student body is enjoying lunch hour, the chorus meets in the auditorium with their director, Mr. Paul Margolf. Here the music for their public performances is prepared. In the past year the school's choral group took part in the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter programs and sup- plied their voices at the Burning of the Green ceremony held at the Memorial Library. The highlight of the year was the Spring Festival, an outstanding success. Participation in the tri-school concert marked the cul- mination of the year's events. tong Island's Sectional Chorus participants who were chosen are A. Catling, 5. Dewey, I. Economopoulos, S. Rhinesmith, G. Woods, E. Adjahoe, P. Vander Putten, Mr. Paul Margolf. They were chosen from 2,200 boys and girls who auditioned for the 200 voice chorus. Page 75 Explorers of the depths... SHOCKING!

Though the losses exceeded the wins, the fine teamwork and sportsmanship of our hooters must not be overlooked. It is an achievement well noting. With the underclassmen coming back as seasoned vet- erans, the wish of the student body of W.H.S. is to equal the record of the 1957 squad. Bottom Row — Left to Right: A. Gibson, M. Summa, U.

The team with a record squad of 18 men completed the year with a one win - three loss record, distinguishing itself in the championship meet with superb individual performances. This was the first year Westbury was able to enter a Junior Varsity team. Led by sparkster Hugh Newman, who won the first North Shore Junior Varsity Crown for Westbury, and followed by medalists Peter DePasquale and Ken Ruff, who placed 8th and 9th respectively, the team finished a close third at Bethpage.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Led on by the cheers of the ardent sup- porters of the Green Wave ' our varsity foot- ball team compiled a record of three wins and five defeats. Riddled by injuries early in the season, our football team was molded into a fighting machine by Coach Ray Coleman. On the whole, the team was composed of first year men. As a result they were slow starting but picked up as the season progressed. Paced by Dick Martillo, all-scholastic half- back and one of the top five scorers in the county, Westbury's stalwarts averaged better than two touchdowns per game.

CHEERLEADING One outstanding feature of Westbury High is the cheerleading squad, composed of one senior and seven junior girls. Lou Ellen Suchan, Captain; and Linda Bush, Co-Captain, ably led the squad through the football and basketball seasons with the assistance of Mr. Sal Insolero. Each of the girls has been awarded a cheerleading letter, and Lou Ellen Suchan has been awarded a silver megaphone for the outstanding work as captain. The co-captain, Linda Bush, will automatically become Captain next year, as a result of her work on the squad for the past two years. The squad introduced an organized cheering section to the stands of W.H.S. during the football season and worked hard sponsoring the frequent Soc Hops' we all enjoyed. FROSH FOOTBALL Both new to W.H.S. this year, Mr. Gerard Fiorenza and Mr. Ralph Romano, were named coach and assistant coach, respectively, of the Freshman Football Squad. The record compiled by the Freshman Squad was one win, five defeats and one tie. Though it is important to win, it is much more important for the team to learn the fundamentals of football and to try to practice good sportsmanship. This training is very valuable if they are to succeed in high school sports. We know that freshman football will become a lasting institution at Westbury for it has fulfilled this important purpose. The Squad presents a well-known pose — C. Dunwoody, I. Pediccini, I. Tashie, L. Suchan, Captain; L. Busch, Co-Captain; D. Schev, E. Wiley, and E. Tedeschi.

The intramural squads are composed of forty members, with the top bowlers of the week making up the varsity squad. The varsity squad, paced by Pete Manetti and Bob Randall, had a successful season, winning most of their matches. RIFLE CLUB The year's North Shore Champs, the Rifle Club is an important part of W.H.S.'s athletic program. Although it isn't as heralded as basketball or football, it is a club that deserves much more credit than it receives. This year the varsity rifle team handed Chaminade its first defeat in four years. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Kenneth Backus, the team's record proved to be one of the most successful in its history. We did well in the National Postal and Connecticut State meets. Although the club was composed mainly of seniors, the underclassmen on the team gained experience which will prove to be very helpful in duplicating this year's record. Congratulations!

Ending up on the short end with a 5 and 13 record, the team deserves much credit for their dogged determination and drive. Starting his initial year as varsity coach, Dr. Norman Schwartz spent many long hours coaching his squad. Next year's future looks bright for a good season with many of the J.V.'s returning as varsity material. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Westbury's Junior Varsity is coached by Mr. Edward Krinsky, a newcomer to our ranks. He has already dis- played his basketball skill by guiding our boys to third place in the North Shore Basketball League with 8 wins and 10 losses. Led by rebounder Bobby Thomson, defenseman Dan Fitzgerald, marksmen Jeff Shickler, Peter Marks, and all around standout, Steve Neidell, the team finished above the five hundred percent mark.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Coached by Mr. George Hesse, the Frosh are learning the traits which make for true sportsmanship. Not sacrificing their high ideals, our boys have played on valiantly. We know that in years to come, they will prove to be valuable additions to our varsity squads. This year the Intramural Basketball League was supported by more boys of W.H.S. than in previous years. The large turnout made for keen and rugged competition in a league of scattered brushes on the court. Frankie Dena's Blackshirts emerged victor- ious after a long uphill fight. However, this did not terminate the fisticuffs as a single elimination tournament followed. Sal Palacino's Blueshirts, sparked by the late arrival of Bobo Schiller, fought off the opposition to become tournament champs. Kneeling—Left to Right: J. Puleo. Varsity Manager; B. Katzenstein, J.V.

Although they have not hit their stride, our matmen have displayed outstanding sportsman- ship and are a team to be proud of. Captains Steve Cullinam and Richard Mika have spured W.H.S.'s grapplers on to new wins. Coach John Fasano looks forward to having a winning team next year, with most of the old squad returning, and many new prospects coming up from the lower grades. Something's Got to Give!

EXECUTIVE BOARD Through all seasons of the year, the girls are found enjoying the many sports and activities sponsored by G.A.A. Hockey, volley ball, basketball, tumbling, and softball are sports in which all members participate. Archery and badminton are sports reserved for Juniors and Seniors, while bowling is exclusively a Senior privilege. During the year, there are many playdays with other schools and a Christmas party for G.A.A. members and our faculty. The annual Mother and Daughter Banquet in the spring is the apex of the year's activities, climaxed by the announcement of the new slate of officers for the following year. Kneeling—Left to Right: J.

It is composed of G.A.A. members whose job it is to officiate at their games. They are responsible for the well co-ordinated games played in G.A.A. The girls have a training period in which they learn how to officiate fairly. This is no easy job to accomplish and the girls are to be congratulated for the good job they do. J. Crispino, L.

Page 93 Though many girls suffered bruises and scars, hockey has re- mained a popular sport among sophomores, juniors and seniors. During the crisp autumn days of September and October, the girls were seen competing against each other in exciting games, while learning necessary skills. These skills enabled them to triumph over Ros- lyn in the play day this year.

VOLLEYBALL Let Service, Reserve! is the cry which came from the girls7 gym during the months of November and December. It was volleyball season. Volleyball affords opportunity to learn fair play. It is open to all Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls. After many good games among class teams, the W.H.S. girls engaged in playdays with Mineola, Carle Place, Ros- lyn and North Shore. These playdays concluded a successful volleyball season. Bottom Row — Left to Right: J. Crispino, N. Wolfe, T. loanides, L. Colvin. Second Row: M. Grant, J. Sirover. Third Row: M. Hoare, J.

There is always a large turnout of girls who are divided into teams according to classes. A round robin schedule that allows each team to play every other team is followed. Towards the end of the season, girls are chosen for teams to participate in playdays with other schools. Membership on these teams is based on both at- tendance at club and ability to play.

BOWLING Every Wednesday afternoon during bowling season, the senior girls of W.H.S. anxiously await the arrival of the bus that will take them to the Market Bowling Alleys in Syosset. The girls are divided into teams of five, and at the end of the season, prizes are awarded to girls at- taining the highest averages. This year Adrienne Danzig and Gerry Stagnitta became the only students to be- come members of the 150-and-Over club. Page 95 lost at sea. TUMBLING Late winter brings tumbling and charlie horses. Despite the danger to life and limb, girls obviously enjoy this exciting activity, because they can be seen soaring into the air in a flying swan or jauntily perched on top of the ropes.

This court wa: chosen by the Seniors, and they were announcec at the dance. Mr. Kickham crowns Jo Ann Savino Queen, and Richie Fabbri, King, a royal court looks on. At 10:00 a hush descended over the gym,- this was the time the identity of the King and Queen and their court was made known to the school. The drums rolled. Then Mr. Kickham read off the titles of the fortunate people they be- longed to. Mr. Vigilante escorted the winners to their places on the platform. The suspense mounted steadily, until finally the climax was reached with the announcement of the reigning monarchs for 1957-1958, King Richie Fabbri and Queen Jo Ann Savino.

Dino is the dramatic story of a boy who, not having his parents' love, gets into trouble with the law. When he is released from reform school, his fear and hatred make him violently opposed to society. However, with the help of case workers and a shy, sensitive girl whom he meets at the settlement house, Dino takes the first step from de- linquency to useful citizenship.
