When
were were kids, interscholastic high school sports got a lot of coverage in our Long Island
newspaper, , probably more then than it does now. Newsday
Below are some selected
clippings reporting (among some other miscellaneous sports-related stuff) the thrill of some of
our OHS victories ― and, sometimes, the agony of defeat.
All of them come from the wonderful scrapbook assembled at the time by our classmate,
Marta Watts. (Thanks for the memories,
Marta.)

The
following clippings are undated but arranged, more or less, in chronological
order. You will find the names
of our classmates in them highlighted
in yellow. (Some of them you can even
read.)



OHS
won three Nassau County championships (in soccer, basketball and baseball) during our junior year (with many
of our classmates on those teams). It made that year one of the most
exciting in Oceanside sports history. But of course, the
most
exciting sports headline of our high school days came from the March 1959 basketball victory over Baldwin
led by the now late Artie Heyman
('59), capturing the County championship by
only one point
― in
nail-biting overtime!
