Senior History

     Because we are not complete ourselves, we depend on memories and experiences shared with others. The endless links and ties which we have forged bind us together as we recall our congregations at Jahn's after games, and our gatherings at open house parties during which we paid visits to "Ruppert" alias "Personality" alias "Sweetstuff" who eats a thinking man's cigarettes.
     Captree holds moonlight memories for many of us--who can forget the beach parties, flashing lights on the bridge, the O.B.I., the road under the draw bridge, or the causeway to Parking Field 9 at Jones Beach.
     Our activities have been full and diversified, ranging from the strong political group led by a rabid senior to Civil War debates with a Confederate Rally of bugles, banner and BANTER. We were always overly active on away-from-school jaunts, especially when we dropped the flashbulbs from the top floor of the Museum of Natural History and when we departed dejectedly from the French cinema. These were vexing moments for our teachers, Mr. Dwyer and Mr. Berzon.
     But perhaps not as stimulating as the reactions of Dr. Marquadt to the trembling turtle in his desk drawer and the wiggling frog in his briefcase, nor as bold as locking Mr. Ford in the art closet. Other teachers have also contributed to our well of memories with: "I'm loveable, I'm a crackpot, I'm a genius."-Mr. Plumer; "I may not always be right but I'm never wrong."-Mr. Finn; "Due to Ferrel's Law and other factors."-Mr. Weisenreider. Mr. Hall and his "bear baiters"; Mr. Zawyrucha, his "Aces"; Mr. Plumer, his pogo stick; Mr. Berzon, his little bell; Mr. Backlund, his alligator George and Mr. Edmunds, his occasional nap during rehearsals.
     A few of our teachers, who shall remain anonymous, will remember the penetrating aroma of the hydrogen sulfide gas, the "bourgeois" math problems, the dummy on the front porch, the mutilation of the flower bulbs, the secret panels in Parkwood School, low water fountain in Secatogue, "air-conditioned" bathing suits in the high school, appetizing(?) cafeteria activities and the Senior who arrived three hours late for Biology Regents. Our memories are warm and varied, but they all add up to B O F F O.
     Two of our highly successful ventures were our class plays. In our junior year under Miss St. Claire's capable direction we enthusiastically produced "You Can't Take It With You". This initial attempt proved so satisfactory that in our senior year, as seasoned thespians, we were ready to undertake "Jenny Kissed Me". This well-received endeavor, guided by Mr. Plumer, was rich in off and on stage experiences.
     Proud are we of our musical seniors, our metal and electrical specialists, our athlete stars, our Betty Crocker winners, our academic record consisting of 5 Certificates of Recommendation from the National Merit Qualifying Test, 7 Regents Scholarships, 5 alternate scholarships and an Engineering Scholarship which we leave as a torch to those who follow.

Appreciation

The "smiling thru" expressions on the faces of the staff members reflect the happiness of accomplish- ment. This accomplishment could not have been achieved without the assistance of many faculty members. To those teachers who were so helpful, kind and considerate, we are truly grateful. For Mr. Coulter, Mr. O'Donnell, and Mr. Beck who cheerfully aided us with permissions for necessary arrangements we extend a sincere thank you.
We are especially indebted to Messrs. Epstein and Lutterman of Riviera Studios for their continued courtesies and unlimited patience.
