THE EDITOR Q' -n .xl CIIAUNCEY M, OGDEN STANLEY R. ALLEN Superintendent Principal FACULTY L up Mr. Ogden, in his capacity as superintendent of this school district, j has kept the school running smoothly and won the friendship of all the I students. 1 As principal of the W00dlllCrC High School, Mr. Allen always has a hit of helpful advice and a cheerful word of encouragement for the students. ' 'gDuhie is that ever-helpful person who aids everyone in planning high school schedules and post-high school education. Despite that withering look given to lower elassmen most Seniors find that Miss Van Der Meid owns a heart of gold and a constant willing- ness to help. The Junior play owes a great deal of its success to the able direction of Mr. Boyd, ,lunior English teacher. , ETHEL DUBOIS LUCILLE VAN DER MEID GEORGE BOYD X n 8 The Juniors depend on Mrs. Brower for notes and outlines on World Institutions, and cer- tain Seniors for their homeroom discipline. A new teacher this year Mr. Deliaura has disclosed the mys- teries of intermediate algebra and solid geometry for many Woodmere students. Mrs. Fischer has returned to us after an absence of several years. Students now have her as their health teacher. The remaining Seniors are granted to lucky Miss Gris- wold. who also has her troubles teaching plane geometry. Miss Hart with all her misfitting nicknames, helpfully guides many an aspiring Ra- phael within thc portals of Woodmere High. Our Senior class advisor Mrs. Kielty has patiently tried toim- press unappreciative students with the eternal life of Latin. Aside from being chemistry and physics teacher and match- maker, Mr. s'Mac takes boyish delight in teasing the ladies of the fourth floor. Miss 6'Matty entertains her typing and shorthand classes with her unending stories and chatter. Madame Meske has taken over the French department this year. Under her supervision a new French Club has been organized. MARTHA BROWER GILBERT DELAURA MARGARET 1-'1scHER ARLEEN GRISWOLD DORIS GHART EULA KIELTY IRVING MACDONALD DOROTHY MESKE LYDIA S. MATHEWSON ANNA METZLER HARRISON G. OTIS ANN PHILLIPS HERBERT RADTKE ADELAIDE OTT Every Sophomore has relived the heroic deeds of King Ar- thur's knights and the adven- tures of Jacob Riis under Miss Metzler's supervision. The civics and citizenship classes are considerably enliv- cnerl by Mr. Otis' inexhaustible supply of jokes and stories. Miss Ott has kept her classes busy with all types of new games and dances, and has done an ex- cellent job as sports coach. Gracias to Seiora Phil- lips for the fun fand workj in both Spanish classes and club. The responsibility for the suc- cess of the music department be- longs to Mr. Radtke, who has brought them through with fly- ing colors year after year. La Belle is well known for keeping her Senior English classes an stitches and terrifying the Freshmen, who donit know that her bark is worse than her bite. With a helping hand and en- couraging smile Miss Schneider has solved the mystery of alge- bra for her students, and brought the Red Cross Club its success. Miss Smith is a new instruc- tor for Woodmereis microbe hunters. Through her intelli- gence, amusing stories, and threats, students have become aware of Biology's wonders. Though it's hard to helieve of a truant officer. Mr. Southard has a wonderful sense of humor and a winning personality. Despite her tedious history outlines and grueling tests Miss Underhill is a speeial favorite of all Seniors. Miss Vander Volgenis cheery smile is seen daily hy students patronizing the cafeteria. Miss Van teaches the way to a man's heart, Mrs. White can always he seen rushing lraek and forth from her humorous history classcs to her amazingly quiet study halls.

When we got to be first graders we went to classes in the current junior high building. By third grade Miss Grossman had hit Patsy Hatry so many times on the top of the head, trying to inspire a musical note, that Patsy had a permanent center part. Fourth grade found us in the Annex - and, oh, so many of us behind the stove. It was here that we had that terrible feud. Well, what could you expect? There was no reason at all why Jolmny Wortman should speak to Peggy Lincoln after she tore up his Junior C-man hat! For fifth grade they packed us off to--the present junior high building again, but in half a year we split up into the 'Tranklin School Crowd and The Girls fand Boysl They Left Behind. Sixth grade took us to the senior-high building and there love smote many of us. Those were the days when we loved ,em and left 'em - every other day! We sang Contemplation,' in four parts. lThe boys sang soprano and the girls sang the lower parts.D We were big-shots then, and every so often we'd blow ourselves to a Bulletin Sixth grade was the time when all the girls were bigger than the boys. Little Bobby Plonsky's shirt-tail was always stick-out. It was such a thrill when the Seniors came in on Class Day. We oohed and uaahedn and said we'd never be Seniors. tlt seems that some took it as a pledgefl Expectantly we went to Junior High School, where they split us up into three LQ. groups. Jackie Neel' used to sing Billy Boyw for Miss Solomon. lEver heard him sing? - Plays a wonderful game of basketball.l This was the year those queer lmicks from Hewlett School arrived. We taught them the language and customs, and now you can hardly tell them from us civilized folk. We were a force to be reckoned with in Pinafore, with Al Postrel Sinatra crooning to Josephine Stouges. The '6Pinafore sailed, but we stayed in port for more doings. In the eighth grade we worked like dogs on t'social projects, and one bright pipsqueak even recited the Declara- tion of Independence. Just in case you have guessed g'who -- what? - oh, you've already guessed it was Steinberg. By this time we were well versed in phrases of loveg fthey were on every basement doorJg and although Beverly hadu't yet appeared, we knew that some day there'd be a love-aiair that would last longer than a week. Ah, gay Woodmere, where we were eighth graders and on top of the world. But on balls roll and often what's on top ends up on 'the bottom, which we very' definitely did when we got into high school. Let it suffice to say that the teachers made a great effort and pushed us from the bottom to the top, each year bei-ng recorded in that wonderful literary annual, Patches, of course. This has been our early history. When we look back over all that fun, now that we're graduating, WE RATHER WISH we weren'tl I 4 E K . ,jp J vc .P .11 Q , w.. l I 1 G1 I gg, L 'Jl 51l6 x IK 1 I JOHN KUTINA As class president for the past two years, Johnny has taken upon his capable shoulders the troubles, joys and widespread activities of our class in its Junior and Senior years. His vast knowledge of current events made him a welcome addition to the International Relations Club. and Bulletin has him to thank for several of its cartoons. RALPH JOSEPH Our vice-president's popularity in Woodmere High is not to be easily equalled. Besides making friends, Ralph's favorite activities have been International Relations Club and Track. He also played featured roles in both our Junior and Senior plays and did a grand job in both. ANN SLATTERY Ann is that pretty young lady who can always be de- pended upon to do that favor for you. Ann's accomplish' ments as Senior Class secretary and as a faithful member of the Art Club have been made modestly, but have not gone unnoticed. MILDRED RICHTER Affectionately known as Mildew , our Senior Class treasurer has breezed through high school leaving behind her an enviable record in sports. clubs and scholarship. With her contagious grin and quick humor, we are con- fident that she can draw as many laughs as Bob Hope any day. KATHERINE RAPP Three cheers go to Kathy who in three and a half years came through with a high enough average to make her valedictorian of our class. Her conscientious work in the Red Cross Club has made her a valuable part of that organization and of any other which she has joined. JUNE ENCELHARDT We find in June the most welcome and rare combination of both brains and personality plus . Not only is she the salutatorian of our class, but is also Editor-in-Chief of Patches and an officer in several clubs. What more could be wished of a classmate? Nothing, she's tops! PATRICIA BAIN Cute Pat's chuckles are well known in Woodmere, and undoubtedly by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps too. Sports have been Pat's favorite outside activities, and her good-natured humor has livened up the baseball field. BEATRICE BARAK Bea is perhaps one of the busiest of the Senior Class. If she isn't doing stencils for the Bulletin or teachers, you may be certain that she is collecting cards for Miss Grafeld or busily typing for Patches , Her performance in Big Hearted Herbert in her Junior year displayed her acting ability. HERBERT BEHRENS Unobtrusively accomplishing a great deal, Herb, one of the quieter members of our class, has been a most valu- able asset to us. It has been through his patient manage- ment. that many an issue of the Bulletin has success- fully gone to press, and be ended up his Senior year by becoming its editor. GLORIA BERNSTEIN Having the rare quality of making friends easily through her sweet nature, Glo has won the friendship of all her fellow classmates. History class has been greatly en- livened by her timely and intelligent comments. In the field of sports. Gloria has excelled in archery and hockey. JOAN BLACK .loan has contributed greatly, in the last year, to the support of the Woodmere Diner and Long Island Rail- road, since she has left ber old haunt in Gibson to take up new residence in Garden City. Her witty frankness has brightened many a dull moment in Woodmere. JEAN NE BLEISTIFT Jean's Interpretation of the murderess. Mrs. Thurston Allen. in the Senior Play, was one of the outstanding performances. Her prowess in the dramatic line was rewarded well when in her .lunior year she was elected President of the Footlighters. We fully expect, some day. to see her name in lights on Broadway. JOSEPH BOEHRER .loe has been one of the surpassing players in several sports. Many a gasp has been caused by his accurate long shots during tense moments of basketball games. Second only to his speedy foot-work is the rapidity with which he speaks. BERNARD BOOKBINDER For the past year Chuchie has been the successful author of the sports column The Book Says . He has contributed to the school not only in the line of sports. but has also delved into the field of current events through the medium of the International Relations Club. RITA BORDOW Little Reet caused many a hearty laugh by her clever portrayal of the brat, Eloise, in Reserve Two for Murder . She has followed in her brother's footsteps in her interest in and knowledge of photography and has become vice-president of the Camera Club in her Senior year. LYNETTE BROWER An amazing basketball forward and all-around athlete is Sis. Often thought of as a tomboy, she is quite the lady to those who know her well. Her quiet, easy-going manner made many close friends and bosom pals for her. MARIE BURCIIAM Marie is a very studious person who sits back and listens. She absorbs knowledge all term and then lets loose on the exams. Business is her line of contemplation and she will probably make a very efficient secretary after her high school graduation. JOHN BYRNES Blonde. easy going. John. with his subtle humor. made Mrs. White's history classes even more entertaining than ever. He did his bit for our class play by firing the two shots needed for the murder. and by aiding with the scenery. MARIE CASPERSEN Caspie . one of the January graduates. is known for her fast and eltective pitching for the girl's softball team. Her generousness is envied by all who really knew her and she was constantly in a happy-go-lucky. energetic mood. She never seemed to sit still a moment. BARB ARA CHERNOFF Dark haired Barbara has several activities to her credit. As one of the first ten. she has also shown her ability in classroom work. Moreover. she is an eflicient and co- operative memher of thc Bulletin staff and Interna- tional Relations Club. RUTH CLEVEN This future business woman is one of the most coopera- tive and sweet-natured persons in Woodmere High. Ruthie. though quiet and reserved has momentarily broken her shyness to engage in several sports. JEAN COHEN Artistic ability has been .Iean's outstanding characteristic. She has used this skill in working both on Patches and Bulletin . As a Topsy Chorus Girl she tapped her way to fame in Showboat,'. BEVERLY CRYSTAL A jolly and happy-go-lucky person, Bev is seldom seen without Wzilter at her side. or a smile on her face. The outbursts caused by Bev's quips in all of her classes has fostered many a gray hair among the faculty. MILTON DAVIS You can't possibly forget Miltons' grand supporting role as the suave. Ivan Strange. in the Senior play. His real personality was kept from us. and only by means of play rehearsals did we learn of his wittiness and friendliness. ,-.. 1 1 1 1 ' Q f Q 17 ' . I , 1 rl 4 , I J ' ,I I 'X I .t f fr, P i i Q 1 ' 1 N Q f , LWELH N DODGE Evelyn is another one of those Seniors who always seems to prefer staying in the background to being in the limelight . She is ever calm and collected. and is seldom to be seen angry or complaining. CAROL FEIN BERC Carol is one of those rare species of Woodmerites who has been in this same school since Kindergarten. Her extra-curricular activities have been mainly confined to the field of sports. Though inclined to sudden outbursts of knowledge in history, they are usually found to be most helpful. LEONA FRIEDMAN Leona left the class of '15 to join our ranks this year. She was a member of the Spanish Club. and as a Wood- mere Wizard she helped to puzzle the rest of the stu- dents with her magic tricks. ROBERT CLASER Tall. lanky Rob is very quiet in his ways. His interest drifts easily from school work to athletics in which he has excelled in both football and basketball. Much of his spare time has been taken up hy trying to decide to which Sophomore girl he shall give his attentions. PHYLLIS GRADY l'hyl . who cattle to us from Ohio. was a welcome addi- tion to our class. In her capacity. as president of the Red Cross Cluh. she has done enviable work. Always sweet and calm. it is very easy for anyone to like her. GRETA GOLDBERC Blonde-haired Greta is always busily combing her hair one minute before the bell. Sorority sisters take up the greater part of Gret's time and attention. but she man- aged a few spare moments for the Spanish Club activi- ties. HELEN COLDRICH Helen is seldom seen without Greta or some other mem- her of her sorority. She is treasurer of the newly or- ganized French Club and devotes much of her time to its activities. She, too. was an important member of the cast of our Senior play. WALTER GREENBERC Since Walter is both comparatively quiet and new to the Senior class. we haven't gotten around to knowing him very well. We do know. that he is always coopera- tive and willing to help you in any way. any time he is asked. Nga 0 J ,U 1 I9 PATRICIA H ATRY Third from the top. Patsy is one of the most activc girls in the class of forty-four. As secretary of the l.R.C. she has been one of its most contributing members. Patsy is also known for her oratorical and writing talents. IRENE HENDRICKSON Rene is the tall pretty girl who played the part of the beautician in the Senior play this year. Her accom- plishments are rather limited but she is accredited with being the only student to have created anything in Chemistry Club. At present Rene is studying hard as a cadet nurse. GEORGE HERM AN Frank Sinatra's most dangerous rival is our own George Herman. who has had more than one Woodmere Miss swooning. His grand playing on the varsity basketball team this vear. and his broad good natured grin won for George his popularity in Woodmere. NATALIE HERR A chemistry student with explosive lab ability. is Natalie. Her antics in Public Speaking are things to be remem- bered as well. She is forever giggling over a funny story which, when she takes time out to think about. she really enjoys. WALTER HEYMAN Walt has been a very faithful member of the band throughout high school. As suave John Randall in our Senior play. he proved his acting talent. He is better known as the other half of the Bev-Wallt couple . MILES HOYE We can remember Miles as the fellow pitching in those fast curved balls to the bewildered players on the visiting baseball teams last season. This season Miles helped out with the behind stage work in 'gReserve Two for Murder and could always be counted on for his advice concern- ing the use of firearms in the production. FLORENCE HYMES Woodmere's own Paderewski has certainly proved to Woodmere that she has a special technique on the piano. Flo, who is going to continue in her study of music after high school. has also loaned her talents to the French Club and Footlighters . BETTY JACKSON Cute, dark haired Betty could always be seen combing her long locks at both beginning and end of all classes. Her sense of humor broke many a dull moment in class, which was always appreciated. How she could forever find something humorous to say is still puzzling the majority. LOIFISE JACKSON Louise has only come to our class this year and thus hasn't given us much time to get to know ber. However, she has shown us. through compositions and the like that she has a definite flare for writing. JOHN KENT Having come from a southern school two years ago to join us. .lohnny was unanimously dubbed South-boy by his friends and classmates. Many is the time be has seen fit to draw upon his store of knowledge to say down South . . . . His three-syllable part in the Senior play added to the hilarity of the production. SYLYIA KINBERG Tall. sophisticated Sylvia with her timely. witty remarks has kept the Glee Club in stitches and Mr. Radtke in frowns. She has displayed her dramatic talents in both the ,lunior and Senior class plays: and as a recognition of her ability Sylvia was elected president of the Dramatic Club in her Senior year. GILBERT KINCHEN There arc few people in Woodmere High. be they teachers or students. who have not listened to some of Cil's choice bits of philosophy. He has. however. paid some attention lo studying. and. witl1 the minimum amount of hard work. gained seventh position in the class. and first place in the Senior Essay Contest. ANNETTE KING Annette came to us last year from France and brought with her eye-witness accounts of the war. Annette de- serves most of the credit for bringing the French Club back to life in her Senior year. and as president kept the club working together. ILON KOLBE llon. with her long. raven black hair and olive com- plexion. has come to be known as Woodmere's Ramona , Poise and graciousness seem to have been granted to Ilon in place of the usual school-girl's giggles and chatter. She has been a conscientious worker for Bul- letin throughout her Senior year. LOUISE KOLINSKI Louise. ever since grammar school. has been noted for her excellence in art. As well as being a most valuable addition to the Art Club. she has ably and successfully filled the position of art editor of Patches , Her like- able personality is a welcome addition to any gathering. .IOYE LAFORGE As combination llinah Shore and Lily l'ons. Joye is for- ever entertaining the student body with her melodious voice. She is active in other fields as well and plays a fast and effective game of basketball. Her puns and witticisms cannot be equalled by anyone, in and about xv0lTdIll8F0. A1 it aff PEGGY LINCOLN Peggy's outstanding accomplishment in high school has been her excellence in the field of sports. This merit has won her a position on almost every honor team in girls' athletic competitions. Peg also has a certain envi- able genius for spreading laughter and merriment among her classmates. MAX LIDZ Mickey. the Chinese detective in Reserve Two For Murder, is famed for blurting out the wrong answers in history class, where we're sure he has caused Miss Underhill more than one gray hair. His ability for get- ting into trouble, however. is not overshadowed by his skill for quickly slipping out of it again. ' ELAINE MILLS This little miss. who left us in January. was the only one to represent her class on the cheerleading squad. For such a little girl she had a strong voice but still was comparatively quiet and poised in classes. JANET MARGOLIN When one first goes over Janet's accomplishments in High School, sports, in which she excelled. appears the most prominent. However, she has been Girls Sports Editor of Patches for two years. an active member of the Spanish and Red Cross Clubs, and has been made a permanent member of the Honor Society. RICHARD NEIDICH Dick with his fiery red hair. is a very recent addition to our class. We haven't had much time to become ac- quainted, but there are few people in Woodnlere that are not aware of the fact that animated Dick has become a part of our class. JACK NEER Jackie was a celebrated figure on the basketball court as he raced across the floor with the ball. He proved that one doesn't have to be tall to be a good player. His class pranks and sly grin, however. have about exhausted the teachers. ALBERT POSTREL Tall Al seems to have a business-conscious mind accord- ing to his interest in the business transactions of Patches for the last few years. This year he was awarded the position of business manager. Al doesn't take on a great many responsibilities. but what he does he does well. ROBERT PLONSKY Before the baseball season began. Bob became a working man after school and was usually seen busily racing about on his bicycle. Since spring has rolled around, however. Bobby seems to have centered his interests on baseball and spends his time on the baseball field. MORTEN PRESLOFF It seems that Morten came and left Woodmere before letting us get to know him. He was absent from school for several months because of a serious illness but managed to make up the work and successfully pass his exams. His most outstanding extra-curricular activity was track. PETER PROVENZANO The January class' only representative on the football team last year was l'ete . His broad shoulders and sturdy build helped to account for his praiseworthy football playing. Of course. you remember him as one of the gang who continually patronized Barak's. JANE RASMUSSEN That tall. attractive girl. who was often to be seen rushing around trying to stir up business for the P.T.A. dance was none other than our own .lane Rasmussen. The r .t of her time was divided lzetween participating in tain sports and being just generally happy. ,F 0 , VINCENT RAU L- 'T ., Many is tht- girl that has fallen for that devastating com- bination of good looks. athletic ability. and smooth line that go to make up Vinnie's winning personality. As chairman of the committee for the l'.T.A. dances. he has shown both originality and leadership. ,lACQl'El,lNE RAUCH As a member of the Red Cross Club. Activities Board. and Dramatic Club. Jackie has shown us her interest in school activities. She has been especially active in the latter of the three. Her abilities are definitely along the creative line. for she produces both enviable art and written work. I. NWREN I IE ROSEN HERG Larry is the fellow who lirened up most of our classes. especially study-halls. He is a real sports fan and is well acquainted with the activities of all the football and baseball teams. l.ast season he was assistant manager of Woodmere's football team. PATRICIA RUBEL As far as it is possible to discern. Pat's favorite occupa- tion. during her years in high school. has been getting in and out tshe hopes! of trouble. Our champion chatter- box and prankster is hard to miss with her flaming red hair and uncontrollable giggle. l,UCILI.E SALITAN Lucille will debate with anyone on any subject at the drop of a bat. llcr extra-curricular activities in school have been mainly confined to the Red Cross Club, in which she has worked especially hard. We wish her the greatest of luck in the medicinal profession. which she plans to follow. ,....'i t5 .nn IRWIN BOOTH Irwin. one of the quieter members of the class of forty- four. By insisting on handing in English assignments late, he has very often been the cause of the raising of Miss Russell's famed eyebrow. ALICE SCHIFFMACHER Alice plays piano very well and was often asked by the Spanish Club. of which she was an earnest member. to play for their meetings. If you can remember the scenery of the Senior Play. Alice did prompting for center stage which meant that she had to stand in cramped quarters throughout the performance. .dl6'i?b s' , '7 CAROL SCHULMAN With her brains and creative imagination. we are sure she will go far in the ficld of literature which she has chosen as her career. In her position as Secretary of the French Club, and Librarian of the International Rela- tions Club. Carol has proved her ability to us. BARBARA SCOTT Tiny Scotty spends most of her time worrying about how to stretch herself to five feet. so she can enter Nurses' Training. Her comical capers in Clee Club have caused Mr. Radtke many an unhappy moment. but cheer- ful humor has often entertained her classmates. LESTER SEAMAN Lester is seldom seen without a violin under his chin and the bow in his hand. This member of the renowned Desert Rats has entertained us several times in mu- sicals and assembly programs with his violin music. We're wondering if there is any French blood in him to inspire that beret. AMELIA SMITH Coming to our school from the city just last year. Amy spent a good half year trying to persuade her classmates to call her by her nickname and not Amelia. She easily adjusted herself to our school. and it seems that she has always been with us. A most likeable person, she is worth knowing. JOAN SMITH As far as we can judge. ,Ioan's favorite activity is just talking to anyone at any time. This auburn-haired young lady caused more than one uproar in third year Spanish class, much to Senora's distress. MICHAEL STEIN Mike's sense of humor is known by all. If he isn't shining his fingernails or cracking his knuckles. he can probably lie seen telling jokes. His dream girl is the glamorous movie star. Marilyn Maxwell. and you can't blame him for dreaming. 9 ROBERT STEINBERG Few classes or clubs have missed hearing some of Bob's favorite puns. All of Bob's time is not spent in joking though. as is shown by his being president of the Inter- national Relations Club. his second place position in the Senior Essay Contest. and his place as sixth in the class. HELENE SULZER Helene is another one of those active and scholarly mem- bers of the class of '44. Tenth in her class. red-headed Helene. has worked on Patches. gone regularly to the Wavecrest Convalescent Home. and has intermingled several sports with her numerous other activities. HOWARD SYRKIN s Tall Syrk '. as the fellows call him. was also a January graduate. He was active in the line of sports. especially in baseball. Although he was forever being kidded about his big feet. he was well liked by all his fellow class- mates as being a really swell person. ENA VOCEL Although Ena's interests have lain outside of school. and. mainly in Omega Pi Lambda. she has nevertheless been a most valuable member of our class. Her pretty face, and friendly personality have brightened many otherwise cloudy days. KATHRYN WALKER An enthusiastic math student. Kay also appreciates the wonder of Chemistry. She was a member of the Spanish Club in her Junior and Senior years and is always willing to hablar at the drop of the pin iwhich she received for excellence in her second year of the languagel. HELEN WALTER llimpled Helen with her frequent giggle has been a favorite of her classmates and rather pleasant headache to the faculty. Helen has made her way into almost every sport and club the school has to offer. Not to be out- weighed by her part in the school activities. her scholar- ship record has placed her fourth in her class. RUTH WEINDORF Little Ruth is one of our more modest and shy class- mates. The Clee Club. with which she appeared in Show- boat . seems to have been Ruth's favorite activity throughout her high school career. Although rather re- served. she has also taken part in several sports. WANDA WEINER Woodmere and the class of '44 gained Walndzl from Hempstead in '51-2. Blonde Wanda gave an enviable per- formance as the attractive usherette in our Senior play. Dramatic Club has also had her membership and has benefited by her honest efforts to help out in any way. ,. wt, Qs, cy' -Wi:-'af-ff Y . ' so K JOHN WEISEL Through no fault of his own. John has acquired the nickname of Weasel , John joined us in our Freshman year. and since then has made his way through high school unreservedly but not unnoticed for his drawl sayings and unexcitable nature. DOROTHY WOLFF Five-foot-two. eyes of blue Dottie is that cute little girl who is always so independent and conscientious about her work fwith the exception of Spanish Classl. Dottie is her preferred nickname. hut her friends often greet her with a Wolff-ish howl. JOHN WORTMAN Johnny's dry remarks accompanied hy his famous ex- pressionless visage have become too well-known to fool the teachers any longer. The world of sports has held most of his interest. and he focused his attention on foot- ball, in which he played particularly well. HARRIET Y ATES Here is a Senior girl well-known for popping up with the wrong remark at the wrong time. There has been many an explosion of laughter at Harriet's witty inter- polalions in all her classes. Harriet livened up the Senior play rehearsals by giving out with piano boogie-woogie. ESTHER ZIBNER Esther's throaty voice can invariably be heard uttering French phrases, which appears to he her favorite pastime. We believe she holds the record for quickly sailing through a speech in English. Spanish. or French. WARREN ZWEIGEL Wzlrreii has rushed about worrying over the financial affairs of hoth Bulletin and the International Rela- tions Club, and successfully endeavored to make the books balance. Warren's work is done quietly, but always as thoroughly and efficiently as he is able. SANFORD SCHAFLER Sandy', is the man-about-town of Woodmere. His wise cracks and funny stories during Senior Play rehearsal kept us going when everything else looked glum. He's quite the actor too and is so much at home on the stage that the other members of the cast are assured of a successful night. SENIOR PLAY On the evening of November 19, l943, at 8:30, a novel variety of melodrama was presented by the Senior Class before one of the largest, most gracious audience that has ever been assembled in the Woodmcre High School auditorium. Under the critical but patient guidance of Miss Frances Russell and with the aid of the whole class, the cast of the Senior Class, presentation, Reserve Two For Murderf, climaxed weeks of rehearsal by satisfying the large gather- ing, which rewarded the players with hearty approval of their efforts. Portrayals especially noteworthy were those of Rita Bordow lEloise lnglefritz, a troublesome problem childl, Sandy Schafler fa rather stupid dctectivel, Albert Postrel fan equally stupid police oflicerl, and Max Lidz fa proverb-spouting Chinese detectivel . Others in the cast included Walter Hcyman tthe corpsel, Renee Hendrickson, Bea Barak, Jeanne Bleistift, Ralph Joseph, Sylvia Kinberg, Helen Goldrich, Milton Davis, .lohn Kent, VVanda Weiner, and Gilbert Kinchen. Well earned credit is also due to a number of other members of the class who insured the success of the undertaking with their tireless efforts in behind the scenesi' capacities. The ne'er to be forgotten of the night: John Kent's superior rendition of the line, Uh glub glubw in his outstanding characterization of a deaf mute. D Q, xdv 1 J 542 0' 'Q N G-' . V r 14 X JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Play , l'm in the Army,N0w, was both a financial and a dramatic success. This was largely attributed to the ease with which each actor fitted his part. Exceptional performances were turned in by Helene Kastan who por- trayed eighty-five year old, quick-witted Crannyg Robert Sonny Lee who played the part of Toby for we might say played himselflg and Elaine Ras- mussen who performed as a domineering widow, Mrs. Corinna Duffin. The story dealt humorously with the problems of youth in a war-shaken world. Bronson Robertson fRobert Schoenfeldl was a pampered young man who entered the Army as a baby and came out a man. Ma Robertson tl-Ianna Fisch- beinl was his worrisome mother and Pa Robertson fRichard Browerj his henpecked father. Three twenty year old ladies were Deanna Robertson LSylvia Maimanl , Letty Ashbrooke QSheila Karpl, and Dale Morrison fMargie Schwartzl , who had matrimonial ambitions. Audrey Nayland tPatsy Lopinl was a sophisticated young lady who capitulated to the youthful charms of Toby. Prentiss Roper tjohn Bregsteinj, a wealthy egotistical young man, could not choose between Deanna and Letty, and finally lost both, Deanna to Ramon Valdez LHenry Straussl, an F.B.l. agent in the guise of a suave Spaniard, and Letty to Bronson. Essie Knapp tloan Schlossb appeared as an ignorant but kindly rooming-house owner. Vlfith this performance, Mr. Boyd added another star to his g list of YICCCSSCS. 1 N - Q .X Zee? 28 S 'Y x al l l Af 1 g 3 w , v I f 5,4 .

Then Coaeh N11-Sweeney hrought up George Herman from the J. V. -4 This snapped the team out of the doldrums into a five game winning streak. The first of these was a 39-28 victory over Central, a non-league game. It was in this game that the newcomer, Dick Thomas, accounting for 16 points, began to shine. Next on the list was Long Beach, over whom the Blue and White rocketed to a 42-28 victory. Teamwork was outstanding as Barnwell took scoring honors with 12 points. East Rockaway by a 29-23 score, was the next to how to the Blue Jackets, who again were led by Jack Barnwell with 10 points. Then against Lawrence, the Blue and White avenged its previous defeat at the hands of the Tornadoes by winning, 28-21. On February 4 Woodniere scored its second upset by taking the measure of Malverne, 33-31. Many observers agree that this game saw the Blue Jackets at their peak. .lack Neer gave an exhibition of dribbling that will long be remembered by Woodmere fans. The Blue and Wllite then proceeded to fall to pieces, losing to South Side, 29-28, when a last minute basket by ,loe Boehrer was ruled out. Lynbrook's defense again proved too tough as the Blue Jackets took the short end of an 18-14 score. Oceanside def- initely eliminated Woodmcre from any play-off berth by drubhing them, 33-18. The Blue Jackets ended a disappointing season by defeating East Rockaway. 34-20, with Thomas continuing his scoring sprees, accounting for fifteen points. The McSweeneymcn had a record of 9 wins against 7 losses while in league competition they had 6 wins against 6 defeats. This put them in a third place tie in the league standing. Hats off to: Dick Thomas, high scorer with 110 points: ,loe Boehrer and Jack Neel' for stellar ball handling: ,lack Barnwell for control of the llilClClt0ill'll, Congratulations to the whole squad for a grand job and good sportsmanship.

Al Walling was the successful mentor. Captain Colin Scotty Campbell. triple-threat hack, led the team, scoring six touch- downs. Wfoodmere got off to a flying start against Garden City, the score heing 9-6, capitalizing on a fumhle in the first period. Then the Blue Jackets suffered three successive sethacks. The first of these was a 12-6 defeat hy liynhrook whose fourth period aerial attack netted them two touchdowns and the game. On Octoher 9 the Blue and Wllite was decisively trounced, 26-0, hy a Strong Port Wasliington eleven. Next Long Beach just eked out a 12-6 victory in a game that was a thriller. Boh Glaser was responsihle for Wioodmerels only score, intercepting a pass for a touchdown. Then a 16-6 triumph over East Rockaway ended that losing streak. The Blue Jackets overcame a 6-point half-time deficit, scoring twice in the 4th quarter, Camphell carrying hoth times. South Side howed down next on a muddy field hy a score of 9-0. The Blue and Wllitf- closed its season with a 14-0 defeat at the hands of Malverne whose aerial attack was too strong for them. Curtis Kurzenhauser and ,lack Barnwell deserve a great deal of credit for their effective end-playing. Vinnie Rau, Willy Henggeler and John W0l'lHl3H rounded out the hackfield. This was the last season for such stalwarts as Pete Provenzano, Bob Glaser, Vinnie Rau. Scotty', Campbell, and John Wortman. Two of them have already left for the armed services. Good luck and congratulations to them and the team for a joh well done. I cxDJ r-I-L27 M., MMA Aja V ' B4SEBALL With th a under way, and the pitching problem partially solved, the outlook for the Blue and White baseball team is bright. From the outset of practise many weeks ago it was evident that pitching would be the big worry of this yearis teamg and when Curtis Kurzenhauser's arm became too sore to pitch. this situation became even worse. So when Bill Henggelcr displayed his talents on the mound, everyone breathed a mighty sigh of relief. He and John Hopkin take care of the pitching duties, backed up by Bob Plonsky, Law- rence Pierce, Freeman Van Wickle1', and Robert Pierson. The line-up at present is Frank DeGraf at first base, .loe Boehrer at short stop, Dick Thomas at third, John Greco as catcher, .lack Neer in center field, George Herman in left, Curtis Kurzenhauser in right. When Bill Henggeler is not on the mound he covers second base position, but, when pitching, leaves the second base duties to either Bob Lee or Frankie Erwin. The record so far stands at one victory and two defeats. The season opened against Freeport with John Hopkin pitching. Woodmere lost this game. 6-2. The second game was played against Valley Stream. Henggeler pitched well. as our loss of thc game was due to 5 errors in the first inning. Then followed the first league game of the season against Oceanside which was won. 5-3, Henggeler getting credit for the victory. The team is now approaching the thick of the schedule and the next few games will determine whether the Blue and White has the makings of a champonship team. -' R. Marx. Mgr. QSM-.

TRACK Vtvith a few lettermen returning from last year's squad, the prospeets for this year can be viewed optimistieally at this time. Coach Utis has done a fine job in welding: together a strong team. The tracksters have special power in sprints and the relay. The relay teatn consisting of Dick Ncidieh. Earle Herman. Erik Dejmak, and Ralph Joseph, is one of the strongest from Wood- mcre. They looked great in whipping Lawrence in the first meet of the season, which we lost, Sl--L-1-. Up to this time, this has been the sole meet with a long schedule ahead. There remain meets with East Rockaway, Lynbrook, and Long Beach, and also a triangular meet with Malverne and East Rockaway. The 75- and 220-yard runs are being well taken care of hy Dick Neidieh, Ralph Joseph. and Earle Herman. Stanley Wein- stein is competing in the 220-yard hurdles. A promising young miler is Lawrence Bootsy Pierce, who with a little practise should develop into one of the best milers on the South Shore. The broad jump is in the capable hands of Earle Herman. who took first against Lawrence with a jump of 19'6 . Harold Moony Mathews does an admirable job in holding down the number one pole vault position as he clears the bar at 10'. Our hopes for the half mile rest with Bob Combs, while Bob Brown and Vinnie Ban do their bit in the 490-yard run. Al- though weak in high jump and shot-put, some new men may prove ability in these fields. lmft to right: .l. l,al ol'gm-. G. lie-rnstvin. ll. Southard. P. Line-oln. J. Margolin. A. Slattery. Y.

Although the Patches staff was chosen last semester, actual work on the year hook didnit begin until February. At the first meeting of the literary staff, the cover, size and shape of the book were decided. The next few meetings were devoted to the set up. The order of the clubs and activities was settled and then came the endless writing. While this got under way downstairs, tl1e business staff was labor- iously collecting installments, month hy month, and calculating just how much Patches would cost us, and whether or not we could afford it. When it was decided that we could meet the expenses, contracts were signed here and there, and the money that was so hard to collect was gone in no time at all. Our Editor-in-Chief gave out assignments to students in all classes and made a deadline for all the work to be handed in. Wle vowed every- thing would be completed by the deadline, so in order to keep our promise, we moved the deadline up a few days, Finally, all the reports were handed in, checked, typed and sent off to tl1e publisher. Then the art work was completed by a group of future Rembrandts, and that, too, was sent to the publisher. Now the heads of tl1e staffs could relax and breathe easily once more. Everything was out of their hands until the book was completed. When Patches finally arrived, tl1e business staff once again took over. In fact you just received your book from them. They tried to eliminate all red tapei' when giving out the books, so dou't feel too badly about signing away your life in order to prove you really bought uPatches. Editor-in-Chief , .

Under the expert supervision of Miss Hart. the elub has done many inter- esting things in the ereative line. Last term the girls eolleeted gourds, painted them in gay eolors. and strung them. These eolorful Mexiean ornaments will brighten any room in the house. This term the girls have let their artistie minds wander at random, but the emphasis has been on jewel boxes. book marks and portrait work. THE ASTRONOMY CLUB Une of the newest elubs to appear on the sehool seene is the Astronomy Club. The main purpose of the elub is to further the mem- bers' knowledge and enjoyment of the stars and other heavenly bodies. Besides the regu- lar weekly meetings, they held a few night meetings and made monthly trips to the Hayden Planetarium. It is the hope and aim of this elub to ex- pand its membership. and to delve even further into the field of astronomy. President, Anne Slattery: Vice-President. Inez Ball: Secretary.

It was then She came upon them from the mystic East, clothed in the regal robes of wisdom, wearing the crown of knowledge. She came upon them and they recognized Her queenly beauty. And the wise men welcomed Her and bowed before Her and set Her upon a throne worthy of Her fresh young loveliness. And they offered Her all their domain, naming Her Philos Sophia, The Loving of Wisdom. Years passed, glorious years in which men had discovered the joy that comes of being ruled by the never-ending search for facts and factual fancies to lay before such a Queen as an offering and a proof of their love. She matured into a Queen so lovely and graceful that She surpassed even the greatest ex- pectations of the most ardently devoted. Strong men wooed Her, loving Her, yearning for a single glance from the warm eyes, a mere shadow of a smile from the jeweled lips of their love. With Her subtle charms She drew a never ending stream of captives from the ranks of wise thinkers, who aspired to share for a brief moment, Her throne, Her intimacy, Her touch. Nor was she cold to the pleas of Her suitors for She took many husbands, men that through their worship of Her will live eternally, men such as Crito, Democritus, Lucretius, the gentle Socrates, the aristocrat of thought, Plato, the mighty Aristotle. These were the men who fathered Her daughters, and to what a heritage were these daughters born, sired by the mightiest of mortals and mothered by a Queen immortal. Was it any wonder that they grew fair, so fair that men called them the Sciences, Knowledge. I' I' l Q i 'I' And they lived together in close harmony, this immortal Queen and Her lovely princesses in a castle of learning such as the earth had never before known, until from out of the West came crude, strong men to plunder and destroy and seeing the daughters of the Queen, they were seized with lust and SENIDB PRIZE ESSAY carried them off, while the aging Queen was left in Her sorry land. Alone in a desolate land the remnant of the ruler looked out upon the remnant of the ruled. No more were strong men to defend Her honor, to humbly pay homage to Her majesty, to protect Her from the jeers of the vulgar. No longer was She surrounded by the wisdom of the wise, no longer Queen of Queens. She set out upon a journey to find knights to grace Her court, and She searched the earth over, but in vain. Where She went they laughed at Her and the high and mighty sent Her on fearing Her, and the lowly hurled coarse insults upon Her. There were some wise beyond their fellow men who recognized Her through Her mask of suffer- ing and age and took Her to their shelters and fed Her with the semblance of the bubbling thoughts of old. Ah, these were men of courage to accept an exile in the face of threats of eternal infamy from the crude, who despised those that preserved Her waning life. There was Voltaire, Locke, Diderot, Hume, Bacon, Emerson, Spinoza, Kant, Neitsche, Spencer, Hagel, and Schopenhauer, braving the life of outcast to ease Her pain, but one by one they died and left her once more alone. And there are those who abuse Her unforgivably. They are the weak, deformed, gnomish men who caress Her prostrate form as fiends with their undeserving thoughts of theology and put themselves forth as upliilosopllersf' '4Philosophers indeed, these womanish imps, who abuse Her very honor and the sacred honor of Her past lovers by associating their persons with Her name! You, lovers of Her daughters, the Sciences, can you call yourselves men and see the Mother of all Sciences ridiculed by the common, silenced by the cowards, sinned against by the weak? Can you stand forth and watch the honor of Plato, Socrates and the Queen Herself covered with the dust of ages and contaminated by the filthy hands of the weak, unworthy? Keep your Sciences for today they are rightfully Queens, but brave the love of a woman just as thrillingg build Her court anew and restore Her daughters to their Mother- Queen for She will stop their quarrels and make them more worthy of the position they now hold, the position She once held. Then can you call your- selves wise men, then can another Plato rise from your ranks. Then can there be beauty in the minds of men. . . . Try to examine her well and truly, and if she be evil, seek to turn all men from her, but if she be what I believe she is, then follow her and serve her, and be of good cheer.
