Melvin and Howard attended Mineola High School* for two years (1955–1956), now a middle school in the Mineola Free School District, until East Williston School District's new (and first) high school finished. East Williston School District students in the Mineola High School senior class (12th grade) were not moved to Wheatley. Thus, the East Williston School District students in the junior (11th grade) class became the senior class at the Wheatley School for two years and also bacame Wheatley's first graduating class. *The Mineola Twins: Did you know that a play was written by Paula Vogel (1996) about "two Mineola twins"? This comedy traces 30 years in the lives of twin girls who grew up in the suburbs of Long Island during the 1950s. The Hippodrome State Theater in Gainesville (home of Howard since 1968) performed this comedy September 5-28, 1997. « Return to Top of Page » BACK Updated June 12, 2008
