Superintendent’s Message
As members of the senior class of the Baldwin High School,
you are now thinking of the few weeks ahead when the high
school days shall culminate in reaching an objective which has
taken several years to attain. During this period you have ac-
quired some knowledge, gained a certain understanding of what
the best minds have thought and produced in the fields of litera-
ture, science, mathematics, history and human relationships.
These experiences have enabled you to form ideals and thereby
made it possible to live a fuller, richer life. Your training re-
ceived in school will be tested as you take your place in a society
which has become complex. Today much is expected in the way
of preparation and training. We who have had a part in directing your formal school education wish you every success and
trust that you may make some contribution to the solution of
the crucial problems that confront the American people today.

Principal’s Farewell
All through the ages there have been ways of measuring men.
Whenever a statement is made that a certain man has been a
success, someone has had a standard by which his work has been
measured. The true measure is not his social life, his money,
or the cut of his clothes. It is rather how well he serves his
fellow man. Everyone has a latent desire to do something high
and noble. In every boy and girl, lies a dormant ambition. When
the urge of the ambition becomes strong enough, no power can
prevent its fruitfulness. Work is one of the laws of life. It is a
form of worship and when properly executed is as acceptable
to God as a fervent prayer. Everyone must choose some line of
work. It is not a curse pronounced upon man but a blessing.
It is the only agency known that can bring out the best that is
in him. A great burden has been thrust upon the youth of this
day. The honesty of their work and the sincerity with which
they strive to serve others will determine whether this world
shall again descend into the dark ages or rise to an era of great
promise for all men.

We are Thy Children
“The Seniors in Review"
OVERTURE The orchestra is tuning up, the actors arc poised, the curtain rises,
and we present the true story of the class of 1945.
ACT I The Scene: B. H. S.
The Time: September, 1941
The Place: Freshman row on the first floor
The Cast: The small fry frosh
The Atmosphere: One of alarm, anticipation, and awe as the timorous
freshmen first present themselves before the Public Eye.
To their horror and bewilderment, they find themselves without an adviser.
Tragic circumstances then appear when these neglected orphans discover they
are without officers for their ’42 Nexus picture. However, this is forgotten when
later in this act we find these same small fry in the auditorium, ready for their
Junior High School Graduation. After this gala occasion, we hear them singing
in their high-pitched voices (Take note Miss Le Faivre) “I here s a Great Day
Coming, Manana.”
ACT II The Scene: B. H. S.
The Time: One year later
The Place: Third Balcony
The Cast: The same, but now scatterbrain sophs
The Atmosphere: The cast is extremely boisterous, busy, and bother-
some to its superiors.
Three scenes present themselves in this act. The first of these is election day,
which proves the winners to be Robert Casey, Edward Morris, Jean Hawley,
and Dorothy McQuillen. The maestro is Paul Muro, whose orchestra provides
the tunes for their first successful dance, the Soph Hop. The evil of money pokes
its ugly head into this act, when we find the poor little sophs worrying about
16
their scanty treasury. In fact, this bitter
thought keeps many a soph awake
nights. Well, we see that the coaches,
Mr. Leonard and Miss Bohlmann, are
signaling the Orchestra to end the act
by playing that too true melody, “1 Got
Plenty of Nothing!”
ACT 111 The Scene: Still B.H.S.
The Time: Draw your own
conclusions
The Place: Around the cor-
ner from 213
I he Cast: Still the same
1 he Atmosphere: A money-
mad spirit constantly sur-
rounds the jaunty juniors.
The leading roles are ably enacted by Robert Casey. Jean Hawley, Beverly
Dousman, and Elayne Soley, with an excellent supporting cast. The football
season closes with the remarkable success of the Football Dance and Banquet.
'With rings on our fingers,” (nice, new, shiny class rings), and more money in
their cash box, they launch the big social event of the year, the Annual Junior
Prom. The stage is decorated with spring flowers, surrounding a gigantic may-
pole under which gay, colorful couples dance the night through. The last scene
of this act finds the upper classman seated in the auditorium. The event is the
riotous “Juniors’ Farewell to the Seniors.” The chorus is again singing: this time,
while looking expectantly at the school, we hear “I’ll Be Seeing You.”
ACT IV The Scene: B.H.S.
The Time: The last lap of journey
ThePlace: 213(atlast)
The curtain rises on the final act and we find the cast seated in 213. In the
first scene, we find the average senior selling anything from cokes to magazines,
including pretzels and potato chips. All this just to raise some money! The
chief instigators of this and all the other plots are James Christiansen, Elayne
Soley, Evelyn Baldwin, and Kenneth Rigoulot. The back stage crew on hand
at all times consists of Miss Robinson, Mr. Leonard, and Mr. Lynip. Dancing
takes up most of the time, what with the Harvest Moon Dance, the Nexus Dance,
and a few others thrown in for good luck — and money. The next scene again
finds the seniors decked out in formal clothes (tuxs and gowns) ready for one
of the biggest moments in the show. The Senior Ball—centered about a Christ-
mas spirit — was nostalgic and sentimental. The last scene yet to be played will
find the seniors garbed in caps and gowns, ready for the climax of the play and
the ultimate goal of every senior — Commencement. And so the orchestra
strikes up for the last time, the curtain descends, and the seniors, taking a well-
deserved curtain call, end the show by wistfully singing, “Thanks For The
Memories.”

Tribute to the Class of ’45 In Service
A song of praise to you,
Young Soldiers, who yesterday were our classmates.
Today you march to martial strains
And answer the call of the bugle.
But though the stormy music of war grows louder,
It must reach its climax.
And. after the paean of victory has sounded,
The symphony of jteace shall begin;
" The symphony which you have composed
Of hopes and dreams, through blood and battle;
The symphony which you shall direct;
A symphony which shall be heard by all peoples of the earth
Today and Tomorrow.
And the greatness of w hat you have done
Shall run through every measure of every movement.
A song of praise to you,
Young Soldiers, who yesterday were our classmates.

Senior Advisers
“Thanks For The Memories"
C. MORTIMER LEONARD This man of science has
been our financial wizard for two years. He has steered
us past many a shoal and pulled us through with flying
colors. Many’s the afternoon he spent worrying about
our class pocketbook. His room has been the birthplace
of all our successful undertakings. He is a possessor of
the necessary qualities for an adviser: humor, boundless
energy, and a congenial personality.
MARGARET R. ROBINSON “A stitch in time saves
nine,” and Miss Robinson has been the stitch to save one
hundred eighty-six. As the adviser who has been with us
the longest, she is excelled by none. She is an ever-pres-
ent element helping to plan and chaperone our dances.
She once said that although being an adviser is a lot
of work, taking a great deal of time, she enjoys it, and
will miss us “terribly” next year.
ARTHUR W. LYNIP A new teacher who is really one
of us in spirit as well as activity. Instantly popular, he
was snapped up as one of our advisers. Our good faith
was rewarded as he was of inestimable help to the Nexus
Staff. He worked hard and long with the literary staff to
produce a synchronized whole. We will not soon forget
his tireless efforts to make our yearbook one of the best.
/ he National Honor Society
Last June, nine of the Junior Class, selected by a special faculty committee
for outstanding character, scholarship, leadership, and service, were inducted
into the National Honor Society. With Jean Hawley as President, Richard Tish-
ler, assisting, and Judith Beckman as Secretary-Treasurer, Virginia Chivers,
Karen Dollard, Dorothy Kempner, Paul Levy, Suzanne Smith, anil Eloise West,
performed the duties of the Baldwin chapter. These included keeping the honor
roll up-to-date, helping to acquaint new students with their surroundings, and
tutoring. The special projects the group carried out were assisting the teachers
during Regents week and ushering at the student performance of “Our Town.”
In spring, fourteen Seniors were inducted: Richard Burns, Robert Casey, James
Christiansen, Norma Fink, Virginia Fortin, Robert Hill, Dorothy Michealis,
Carol Nielsen, Robert Price, Isabel Rockmore, Kenneth Smith, Elayne Soley,
Evelyn Strouse, and Frank Voges. For Memorial Day, the society presented a
chapel program in tribute to B. H. S. graduates who have given their lives in
this war. To conclude an eventful year, the annual Banquet was held, at which
time several of the Juniors were inducted into the society.
“Our Intelligentsia”
The Valedictorian of the class of ’45
is Karen Dollard, who has maintained an
average of 95.074 throughout her high
school work. Dorothy Kempner, with an
average of 92.296 is our Salutatorian.
Both girls have distinguished them-
selves not only in the scholastic field, hut
in the extra-curricular activities in which
they have participated. Congratulations,
and the best of luck to each of you.
NEXUS MEMORIES
Let us picture some Senior fifty years hence,
who stumbled unexpectedly upon his old year
hook now yellow with age, and almost com-
pletely forgotten. As he again turns the pages,
his thoughts wander hack to 1944 and ’45, and
the unforgettable times his class had publishing
its Nexus.
IX ill he remember Jean and Evelyn, the two
head editors, together w ith their assistants Doro-
thy, Barbara, Norma, Elayne and the one lone
male, “J.C.”? Perhaps he will remember even
lllorc — how the money rolled in, which helped
roll out the presses.
Exactly what was the purpose of selling coke
and pretzels between halves and why plague
friends with Christmas cards, magazine sub-
scriptions, hook covers and “B” stickers? Nonna,
Charlotte, or Doris could answer these questions,
for it was their joh to raise money for the Nex-
us.
All contributed to the canvassing of year books
by making those never-to-he forgotten sales
talks. The successful Nexus dance was the crown-
ing glory of the business staff’s campaign.
If he were Bob or Kenny, perhaps our friend
recalls the evenings spent at Dorothy’s with Sue,
Judy, Carol, Isabelle ,and Karen, writing and
rewriting, with Mr. Lynip prodding them all the
harder as the shadow of the deadline grew near-
er.
A knowing look, a smile, and finally a broad
grin covers his face as he remembers the after-
noon when he asked one of the girls for a date,
only to be rejected with the excuse that she had
to type Nexus material. Boy! What we sacri-
ficed for that year hook! Thanks to Jean, Lor-
rayne, Joan and Mary, and especially to Bar-
60
bara and Irene, the yearbook neared comple-
tion.
He turns another page and who does he see
but "J.C.” (again), and Ada, Joe, Kasty, Evelyn,
and Feets. He recalls that the clever sketches
throughout the book were the work of this
group.
The book flies open to the page of candids and
“Mr. Senior of 1945” remembers the fun his
class had posing in riotous and peculiar posi-
tions, with Mr. McNabb snapping the poses.
Throughout the entire yearbook the musical
theme is well illustrated. Our friend recalls that
Elayne, Virginia, and the rest of the music staff
brought out the theme to its best advantage.
Drowsily, in his reminiscing, he recalls the
feeling of pride and achievement that conies
from hard, but worthwhile work. He, for one,
has no regrets, but only pleasant memories.
Suddenly the well-worn Nexus of 1945 slips
noislessly to the floor and the old man, young
in spirit for just a few precious hours, continues
his recollections in dreamland.

THE SENIOR PLAY
“Do you want to learn how to be charming? Well, here’s
how’ you can do it in one easy lesson. See The Charm
School,’ the annual Senior Play, on December 15.”
These words resounded through the B. H. S. halls, and
appeared on all the notices for weeks ahead. How can
we forget those long hours of practice before the play?
Remember Alden Brewer, having full charge of a school
for girls and playing the Romeo role at the same time;
Jean Ougheltree, the President of the senior class, who
had a personality not even a stern person could resist;
the sophisticated Dorothy Narr, who was feared and
loved by all who knew her, and the scatterbrained sec-
retary Charlotte Fick, who was perpetually confused.
Yes, of course you do. We noticed that many of the lines
were not even heard because of the continual outburst
of laughter brought forth from the audience. This was
due to the dramatic ability of the players brought out
by Mrs. Hutchison’s splendid direction. Received once
by an enthusiastic audience, we then presented “The
Charm School” again, before the servicemen in the
Hempstead U. S. O. and later before the grateful patients
of Santini Hospital at Mitchell Field. Delivering three
successful presentations is certainly proof of Mrs. Hutch-
ison’s powers. Yes, orchids to you, Mrs. Hutchison;
we are grateful for all you have done.

THE SENIOR BALL
“We want it before Christmas!” “We want it after Christmas!”
Arguing until the last minute, the class of ’45 decided that the
Saturday night before Christmas would be the best time for the
traditional Senior Ball. Many of the boys were heard to groan
—“But we don’t get paid until after Christmas.” The decorating
committee was formed, mostly of girls, of course. The fellows
complained that they were working, but a few of them found
time to come dow’n for awhile. Bev Yeates insisted that her
snow-covered windows were just the right touch, even though
no one could see them. The auditorium of Steele School was
gaily decorated with Christmas colors. With our hearts in our
throats we watched Eddy Morris climb the ladder to the ceiling
to tie up the center piece. It took us two days to finish the job,
but the compliments we received were well worth it! Then the
big night arrived with snow as an escort. As they entered the
ballroom, the girls received sachets with the compliments of the
Senior Class. The Blue Serenaders furnished the music. The girls
in their gay formals and the boys in their tux were a fitting
theme for the festive occasion. Delicious cake and fruit punch
were served much to the pleasure of everyone, including the
chaperones. The climax of the evening was the grand march led
by our class president James Christiansen and his partner, Evelyn
Baldwin.
65
JUNIORS
Let tlie trumpets blow! Let the flags be unfurled! The Junior
Class has arrived! This elass certainly has a brilliant past and a
promising future. This year they really got into the “swing” of
things with leaders Patricia Higgins, Ann McGrath, Harley
Pickens, and William Sibbers, and counselors, Miss Alice Bouton
68
and Mrs. Eleanor Brown. Indian Summer, Sadie Hawkins, the
Football Heroes, and St. Patrick were celebrated with gala dances
climaxed by the Junior Prom, second only to the Senior Ball
in elegance. We Seniors hand over, with pleasure, the honor of
occupying 213. knowing full well that it will be ably filled by the
class of *46.

Student Council
The G. ()., newly formed this year, has operated more than successfully wher-
ever it has participated. In the educational, recreational, and sports life of the
school, the G. O. has made marvelous progress and received splendid coopera-
tion from the other school organizations. The credit for the work accomplished
hy this organization goes to its Council members, faculty advisers, and officers
who were elected in May, 1944, thus constituting Baldwin High’s first wartime
G. O. Under the direction of Bob Hill as President; Jane Chivers, Vice Presi-
dent; Eunice Standish, Secretary and Leah Tiebout, Treasurer, the following
students with the helpful aid of Mr. Reed, set the machinery of the G. 0. in
motion:
12th Grade
Virginia Chivers
Jean Hawley
11th Grade
Joseph Cifaldi
Ann McGrath
Lorraine Rabbitt
Hazel Wesley
lOt/i Grade
Robert Altman
Joseph Kessler
Dolores Minke
Donald Stites
9th Grade
Gregory McGrath
Richard Usher
Marion Weiss
James Doyle
Craig Haight
A cross section of the year's work shows that an active spirit did much to put
over Dances and Variety Shows. Also, the contribution of student support to
sports and dramatic activities was helped considerably through use of the G. 0.
ticket. This meant an aggregate saving of S2000 to the holders of these tickets.
The students have started an organization which can do much to increase the
scope of their school activities, and with this year’s fine start, the G. 0. has a
chance to go as far, if not further, than any other G. 0. on the Island.
74
Student Court
Guilty or not guilty? The familiar scene
on Friday morning shows a defendant
standing soberly before the judges of the
Student Court, awaiting the verdict. The
student Court was newly organized this
year for the purpose of helping the
student body function well. It consists
of seven Judges: Paul Levy, Robert
Phipps, Suzanne Smith, Jane Chivers,
Betty Jean Chase, James Carbone, Doro-
thy Hill and two clerks Irene Wiekhorst
and Doris Pudney, The Chief Justice
Evelyn Strouse, and the faculty adviser,
Mr. McNabb. A recent addition to the
court was a system of employing prose-
cuting and defense lawyers that ensure
fairness for all.
Student Police
Swish .... A boy dashes down the hall.
“Come Back around that wastepapcr
basket!"" the voice of a Student Police
shouts out. Yes, many’s the struggle
these students have had to confront, in
trying to maintain order in the B. H. S.
corridors. Action, you said it! When the
police are on their job, there’s plenty of
it. This body deserves recognition for its
vital job. Although thanks is sometimes
meager, they hold great respect in the
eyes of their fellow classmates and
teachers.
The Journalism Club
The organizing force behind the
"Golden Wave” is credited to the Jour-
nalisin Club. Under the advisership of
Mr. Lynip, this group formed the plans
for our newspaper. 1 he club is now one
year old with Jack Celler conducting the
meetings, Jean Hawley assisting, Doro.
thv Kempner taking the minutes, and
Judith Beckman filling the money bags.
The purpose of the Journalism Club is
to stimulate journalistic ideals, promote
accuracy in writing, and form the back-
bone for the staff of our newspaper. Al-
though the Journalism Club has not
capitalized on all its advantages, the
very existence of this organization as-
sures promise of better things ahead.
“The Golden Wave"
Will there he enough copy? In on time? Is it news style? These questions
jab through the editors’ skulls every other week in room 200. The students
“mouthpiece” made its debut this year with the aid of Jack Celler and Paul
Levy. Shepherded by Mr. Lynip, the “Golden \\ ave" has done an excellent job
in stimulating school spirit throughout it's first year. The paper has directed
action on many student problems through its editorials, and has given publicity
to organizations and individuals that otherwise would have been unknown to
the students. \\ e arc sure it will be just as successful after we have left the halls
of B. ILS.

Art Club
Art students of Baldwin High
participated in a new activity
this year — the Art Club,
sponsored by our new art
teacher, Miss McGovern.
Wednesday afternoons found
them busy with clay model-
ing, sketching from life, water
colors, and rudiments of oil
painting. The members of the
Art Club deserve commenda-
tion for their highly promis-
ing endeavors to reach a lofty
plane of artistic merit. As the
Senior members take their
leave, they extend every good
wish to their fellow’ art stu-
dents for success in carrying
on as “Les Jeunes Artists.”
Spanish Club
Senor Smith — Servidor. No,
that is not English. That is
what Joseph Harris con-
fronted his fellow members
with at the beginning of each
Spanish Club meeting. Under
the prompting of Mrs.
Thompson and Miss Sharp,
the advisors, these energetic
senors and senoritas planned
their own entertainment for
their five meetings. Singing
Spanish songs, playing games,
and presenting small plays in
Spanish were followed by the
serving of refreshments. All
atmosphere — Espanol.
Alpha Hi-Y
Remember those girls who
courteously acted as guides on
parents’ night and were often
found at their meetings industri-
ously sewing for wounded sol-
diers? They were the Alpha Hi-
Y girls, headed by Evelyn
Strouse, who also attended this
year's Albany Conference. Cli-
maxing their season's work, they
left to the school a large por-
trait photograph of Mr. Collis-
ter in remembrance of his out-
standing service to the school
and Hi-Y work.
Beta Hi-Y
The students you saw assisting
Miss Fuller with her records and
making an Afghan for the Red
Cross, were no doubt, the Beta
Hi-Y girls, with Isabel Rockmore
leading them. Part of the year’s
successful work to raise funds
for the Albany Convention.
represented by their president.
w as the basketball game between
the two Hi-Y’s. Also, along with
Alpha, the good neighbor policy
was fostered by an exchange of
visits with the boy’s Hi-Y’s from
Lawrence.

The Masque
Standing Room Only. All right, on stage — more action — speak louder! The
Masque has made a name for itself in B. H. S. This year, it started one of its
busiest seasons with the election of the new officers, Robert Price, Arnold Miller,
Suzanne Smith, and Kenneth Smith, who have all taken leading roles in the
plays presented during the year. Under the leadership of Mrs. Hutchison,
their accomplishments are well worth mentioning. This year saw the formation
of a Junior Masque of Eighth Graders only, a make-up committee to teach anyone
interested in the art of stage make-up, and a visit to the U.S.O. and Santini
Hospital for the entertaining of servicemen. “Our Town” was the annual Masque
play.
Junior Red Cross
“Angels of Mercy” Yes, the
Junior Red Cross suffered a great
loss when Miss Greene left, but
these folk recovered to find Miss
Bader, an adviser who has done
an excellent job. Some of the
more active members have been
Dorothy McGinnis, Harriet See-
bach, Ann Harper, Ruth Reese,
Barbara Maurer, and Carolyn
Carlstedt. These people earned
the thanks of our student body
for performing such tasks as fill-
ing Christmas stockings, making
scrapbooks, knitting afghans and
socks, and making duffle bags
for the men in service.
79
The year 1944-45 has proved a difficult one as far as the B. H. S. choir is con-
cerned. Unusually had weather and uncompromising bus schedules have retarded
to some extent the progress of these eighty-six well-blended voices under the
capable direction of Miss Le Faivre. However, the musical potential quality of
this group and the coming of better weather maintained the Spring Concert at
its traditional musical perfection.
Under the baton of Miss Le Faivre, the strictly male star in the musical con-
stellation of Baldwin High School prepared its part in the Annual Spring Con-
cert which was held this year in May. Practice during the eighth period on
Wednesdays has enabled this group to grow to an unprecedented size of thirty-
two members.
Although the elimination of first period study cut down the number of girls
in Glee Club this year, the quality remained unimpaired. This gay choral group
has had a good time mixed with hard work in its twice-weekly rehearsals. Under
Miss Le Faivre"s direction, they have developed a musical repertoire which made
this year's Spring Concert, always outstanding, one of the best Baldwin High
has ever heard.

“Holiday For Strings"
Have you heard the strains of melody coming from the auditorium
every Wednesday and Friday morning before school? If you have you
probably knew it was the B. H. S. Orchestra, conducted by Miss Le
Faivre. Although the Orchestra was small this year, its quality and vol-
ume was excellent and it certainly ranked high in school life. A newly
formed string ensemble directed by the violin instructor, Mr. Marino,
progressed rapidly, learning many favorite tunes. These musicians pro-
vided the musical background for the presentation of the Senior play,
the Masque play, and all special chapel programs. Topping their success-
ful year, they played in the annual Spring Concert, bringing upon
themselves much credit for their fine work.
82
“The Band Played On”
Strike up the band! Here comes our drum majorette and her high
stepping twirlers. No football game was ever complete without the
peppy tunes of those marches and attractive Eleanor Grant leading the
colorful group. Remember those cold days they marched down to the
Baldwin Station in the early hours of the morning, to give our draftees
a rousing send-off? As they complete their season with the annual con-
cert, presented in March, we end by saying, “Congratulations on your
fine work!”
83
Take me out to the Ball Game
With all of the fighting spirit attributed to B. H. S. Football Team.* of the
past, Baldwin's Golden Wave swept triumphantly through its season. I nder the
expert coaching of George Craig, it achieved a record of five victories, one tie,
and only one defeat. Mineola first felt the power of Baldwin's punch and passed
under the yoke, score — 31-7. Memorable in this game were the two runhacks,
86
both culminating in touchdowns, made by Captain Bob Casey and Oily Gondoli.
The following week our gridstcrs subdued a Glen Cove “eleven,’’ score 25-2.
The Baldwin juggernaut had difficulty getting started, but (inding its pace.
netted a total of 19 points in the 4th quarter alone. The Hempstead Tiger put
an end to our winning streak a week later. Fleetfootcd Ike Jersey made Bald-
87
win's lone tally in the first play of the game on a brilliantly executed double
reverse. Hempstead scored in the 3rd quarter as a result of the blocked kick,
hut the game ended, score — 7-7 tie. Seven days later in a drizzling rain, about
400 shivering spectators saw Valley Stream Central bow to the Golden I idal
W ave, score — 20-6. Baldwin then came up against their toughest opposition
of the season in the form of the Oceanside aggregation. Only after hard fighting
ami an unforgettable goal-line stand did we get away with a 7-2 decision. Typical
of Baldwin's spirit was the fighting zeal of Jake Considine, outstanding through-
out the game. November 2 saw the annual election-day classic with our traditional
rival, Freeport. A colorful crowd of over 6.000 gathered to see a determined
but hopeless Freeport Devil humbled for the tenth time, by score of 6-0. Missing
from our regular line was Perry \\ atts, star quarterback, who had left to fight
with a greater team, the United States Army. Particularly outstanding was the
expert plunging of Boh Casey, by whose efforts our lone touchdown was made,
and the work of Warren “Smokey” Meyer ami Buddy Fink. A heavy and
experienced Chaminade outfit handed the Blue and Gold warriors their first
defeat, and the 6-0 score destroyed all hopes of participating in the South Shore
Athletic League play-offs. The loss of Bud Fink, veteran tackle, to the armed
forces the day before the game was keenly felt and probably influenced its out-
come somewhat, perhaps as much as the excessive fumbling which plagued our
squad. The 1944 season's record was due to such as Captain Casey, winner of
the Tom Thorpe Memorial Award. Considine, \\ atts, Heidtmann, Bouton.
Gondoli, Flanary, Wink, Fink. Berndt. Meyer. Phipps, and Jones. But let us not
forget those heroes, the 2nd and 3rd string teams, without whose presence at
practice, the achieved success would have been impossible.
88
Hasketball
Basketball? it cannot be said they did not try. Paul Clark,
tbe one seasoned and natural player, performed splendidly throughout and
carried off high scoring honors. Casey. Gathings, ami Gotzmer, moving up from
last year's second team, showed every effort while Calvin Moon, a new’ comer,
began to click in the later games and finished brilliantly, brightening the out-
look for next year along with Shultz who developed into a capable “set shot”
artist. The team simply lacked the finesse to win close games. With regret, wre
av grodbve to seniors. Casey. Gotzmer. and Gathings.
Wrestling
Our wrestling team, has come through once again with flying colors, thanks
to the coaching of Mr. Reinisch. This year again, it was rated as a big threat to
the champion Mcpbam squad. Such outstanding wrestlers as Jim Fogarty. Reggie
Jones, champion, Captain Bill Devaux, and Don Berndt, unlimited champion,
who were finalists in the South Shore Championships, made the Golden Wave
\\ restling team respected by all contending schools. This success was due in
large measure to those faithful members of the second and third squads. Deserv-
ing a good deal of credit also, is the intra-mural wrestling schedule, instituted
90 by Mr. Reinisch four years ago.
Soccer
Fighting hard all the way. the Golden Wave Soccer team, led hy captains Don
Magrane and Karl \\ eits, completed its ninth year with one of the best seasons
in a few years. Starting practice late, due to difficulty in securing a coach and
hampered by the loss of many regulars in graduation, they nevertheless formed
a good team around five letter men. Outstanding in their first year of play were
George Chaslon, goalie, and wings, Bill Sibbers and Dan Damn, all of whom
played vital roles on the team.
Baseball
“Play ball!” cries the umpire, and the 1945 baseball season is under way. Al-
though the ranks of the Blue and Gold “Nine” differ greatly from last year's
because of the decimation caused by graduation and enlistments, this team of
“Apple Knockers” is one of power-house hitters. With Bob Casey, Jim Fogarty,
“Smokey” Meyer, “Lefty” Boyle, and “Skippy” Hunt on deck to start them off,
they are all set for a "hit” season. 91
Track Team
No yearbook of Baldwin High would be quite complete without including our
fleet footed friend* of the cinder path. Under the skillful guidance of Mr.
McNabb, our team has grown to be an experienced group of runners who enjoy
competitive team sports with our neighboring rivals. Anyone wishing to go
out for track can try for the 100 yard. 220 yard, quarter mile .half mile, or mile
race. Don't forget the hurdles, shotputs, standing and running broad
jump, ami the pole vaulting. Aside from promoting a competitive and team
spirit, the tracksters know their sport as a great aid in building character and
a strong physicpie.
Tennis
It has been a long time in Baldwin High School history since so many players
have gone out for the tennis team. W ith such an enthusiastic response, they
should surpass last year's record of one loss, even though some* of the Baldwin
courts are covered over with weeds. Keturning from last year’s squad are Joe
Benenati, Bud Moon. Jim Hoyne. Frank Voges, and Gray Wileox. The boys
really enjoy themselves after school at practice, playing, eating apples, and
92 having plenty of fun with a grand sport and coach, Mr. Leonard.
“Cheer For Old Baldwin”
“We want a touchdown!” — the familiar cry of the girls in the blue and gold,
rings out. The Cheerleaders, led by Captain Jeanne Muller, deserve a lot of credit
for bringing out school spirit in B. H. S. “Are you ready? Let s go! \\ ith flips,
handsprings, and cartwheels they cheer at every football and basketball game.
“B-A-L-D-W-I-N” — Pep meetings before all the games certainly stirred en-
thusiasm. That bonfire rally before the Freeport game, new this year, proved
so successful that it may become an annual affair. “Hold that line!” — Here's
a host of Bravos to all the J. V. Cheerleaders, too. Keep it up, we're proud of
you!
93
Leaders9 Corps
Class Attention! Dress Right!” The sharp commands of white
uniformed girls ring out. “Front!” Virginia Chivers leading, the
ranks are formed. Advisers Murphy and Studwell look on from
the sidelines. “Right Face!” Established by Ethel Kloberg, neat-
ness, sportsmanship, and honor, have been maintained as basic
qualifications. “Forward March!” Three words inscribed on the
Leaders’ Key describe the story of this ability — “Beneficium,
Honor, Scientia,” meaning service, honor, and knowledge.
“Halt!!” Each member is qualified to take complete charge
of a gym class at any time. “At Ease!” Despite the handicap
caused by the barring of evening meetings, the Leaders came
through with flying colors in their presentation of a precis-
ion flag drill for the Sporinite demonstration. “Class Dis-
missed!” And there they go, all fifty of them: Evelyn Baldwin,
Virginia Chivers, Virginia Fortin, Eleanor Grant, Jean Hawley,
Jacquie Lavac, Jeanne McLean, Dorothy Michaelis, Jeanne Mul-
ler, Barbara Ridley, Joan Rikmar, Elayne Soley, and Eloise
West. Those were the Seniors! And there go the Juniors! Mar-
jorie Avery, Louise Boudreau, Betty Chase, Jane Chivers, Joan
Hernandez, Phyllis Hernandez, Patricia Higgins, Anne McGrath,
June Michie, Virginia Ryan, Doris Saunders, Eunice Standish,
and Kathleen Susmann. And there go the Sophomores! Jean
Bcrnish, Dorothy Carlton, Jacqueline Cohleach, Marilyn Deng-
ler, Joyce Heide, Shicla Horowitz, Harriet Kremer, Lorraine
Louring, Marilyn Muller, Virginia Org, Jeanne Pudney, and
Leah Tiebout. And, last but not least, there go the Freshmen!
Maryann Cackowski, Cloe Collins, Linda DeBottari, Edythe
Ferns, Olga Huppert, Marilyn Klein, Mary LaBarge, Irene Licht,
Margaret McDonald, Helen Price, Edith Torkelson, and Jean
Voigt.

Basketball
“A tisket, a tasket, a blue and golden basket”
— yes, those girls certainly knew bow to make
baskets. From Freshmen to Seniors, each team
was gifted with outstanding members. Good
Shot! The three aces, “Snookic”, Avis, and
Mary shone as the star members of the Honor
Team. Although in competing with several
neighboring schools, they did not walk off with
the honors, their fine sportsmanship and team
work brought them enough success.
Hockey
You've got to be a hockey player, to get along
with the handsomest men, ’ so the song goes.
Regardless of knocked shins, black and blue
marks, and other bruises, each hockey player
has worked hard to win the game fairly. Under
the supervision of the new coach, Miss Murphy,
the team played at Plaza school. 1 he field some-
times deep in mud, felt the trample of fast run-
ning feet at least twice a week and although the
girls did not emerge victorious, they made a good
showing in every game they played.

Volleyball
Seniors Victors? No Sir! The Juniors
emerged with the laurels at the annual
Volleyhall Afternoon. The School Honor
Team was chosen with many regulars
from last year still on it: namely, Avis
Dippel, Dorothy Kempner, Jean Kessel,
and Patricia Mashek. Yes, a good time
was had hy all this year, including Miss
Bouton.
Softball
One, two, three strikes — you're out!
This can he heard on the girls' softhall
field. Bats, halls, mitts, and masks are
strewn all over. The referee blows the
whistle, and the game commences. Bat-
ter up! It’s a hit! The batter runs for
first base. The shouts rise “Steal!” and
screams echo across the field. “Slide!”
Too bad. Three outs, and the teams
change places. The girls are in rare form
this year. Their hours of practice in the
hot sun never fazes them. No doubt
about it, their curves and hits are tops.
96
Tumbling Club
Oops! Don't fall!
Where have we heard
these words before? The
Tumbling Club should
know. Miss Murphy
helped many a girl over
the horse, on the paral-
lel bars, and in perform-
ing several difficult
stunts. However, despite
their bumps and bruises,
the girls loved their
strenuous exercises, and
“tumbled" through a
fine performance on
Sportsnite.
Tap Club
Keep in Rhythm. This
is a necessity for the
members of the tap club.
Under the direction of
Mrs. Studwell, these
girls have added this
club to the top rankers
in popular sports’ activi-
ties. As well as taking
part in Sportsnite, they
participated in the
Spring Dance Recital,
presenting several tricky
tap routines to an en-
thusiastic audience.
Modern Dance
A spiral fall here, and
a leap there — the Mod-
ern Dance Club was un-
derway. With Mrs. Stud-
well helping them to
straighten their legs,
these graceful lassies
were always kept on
their “toes.” This year
the dance was, to a large
extent, converted into
ballet, and on Sportsnite
the girls showed that
their long, tedius hours
spent in practice were
not in vain.
Girl’s Week
The Blue and Gold take great pleasure in presenting our annual Girl's Week.
Sunday, special services arc held in all of Baldwin's Churches and on Monday
a super Chapel program. Each girl appears, proudly escorted hy one of her
favorite men, at the annual Father and Daughter Night on Tuesday. Then, on
Wednesday, it’s a girl's revenge. The Tea Dance gives every girl a chance to go
with the best beaux. A huge success, the Mother and Daughter Banquet follows.
Each mother proud of her daughter, and daughters beaming equally. The Song
and Cheer contest brings down the house with applause as each team competes
for the laurels. Friday, and a special Chapel program. Then, on Saturday, . . .
Sportsnite. The results of eternities of practices appear as the Gohl, captained
by “Snookie” and Elayne, and the Blue, captained hy Jeanne and Avis strive for
the crown. The Blues presenting “The Greatest Show7 on Earth" and the Golds
“In Little Old New York.” Snappy marching and lots of games and Girl’s Week
finally climaxes with Blue and Gold always “Friends.”

“Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory ...”
Shelley
As the notes of a song are forgotten, but the theme remembered,
so, though the little incidents of school life are lost with the
years, they form a melody of impressions. For this has been the
“allegro” of our life, the gay, fast-tempo time, tempered with the
“lento" of some of our experiences, the seriousness underneath
brought, for a measure, to the surface. Long shall the memories
and melodies of B. H. S. sound in our ears, lending us a crescendo,
to the theme of our lives. And if we do learn to sing the tune of
happiness and find the keys to success, we shall long remember
it was our High School days that made up the prelude.
