Rage Sixteen THE RED AND GREEN work before them, but we think they deserve some credit. One Wednesday morning while singing our high school songs, one of the Sophomore girls said to a Junior: “I don’t see why they give one girl all the credit and leave the others out.” “Who do you mean?” queried the Junior. “Why, they are always singing about Alma Mater,” was the innocent reply. « « During Biology period Miss Baker asked a Soph boy: “Jimmie, where do bugs go in the winter?” “Search me,” said Jim. FRESHMAN NOTES Class Reporters: Mikiam Abelson.................A 1 Gertrude Van De Water..........B 1 The Freshman class of Glen Cove High School is not yet organized, but with all, the Freshmen have made themselves conspicuous both in and out of school. We cannot say much for their scholarship but their spirit is wonderful. They are the busiest little mites, always getting in the way of the upper classmen. Wherever you go—in the corridor, on the stairs—in the classroom—you will find the inevitable freshman grinning openly at you. On May 2, 1921, the B Biology class, consisting mainly of freshmen, went on a Botany hike to Appleby’s woods. The class was under the able supervision of Miss Baker, the Biology teacher. ALUMNI 1912 Genevieve Cocks is a clerk in the Nassau Union Bank. John Dunn is a priest of the Roman Catholic Church. Mary Germaine is a private secretary for a minister. Donald Mackenzie is an engineer in an aluminum factory in the South. Anna Mahon is married to a lawyer. Bertha Whiting is teaching at Cold Spring. 1913 Kathryn Cocks teaches Oral English in the Glen Cove High School. They built a camp fire and ate a light supper which consisted of frankfurters, rolls and cakes, while Miss Baker delved into the mysteries of Botany. Everyone had a good time, and looked forward to many other similar events. Their desire for hiking (or was it eating) was soon appeased, for on May 12th, the sewing class had their little expedition, when Miss Green and Miss Erskine were the chaperones. The class had an appetizing meal which consisted of about the same food as the one before. Then they were joined by the Junior tramps, who were also having a little outing on the same beach. Both parties joined forces and played games. All had a splendid time until it began to rain, when they all scrambled for the first place at the station. Some walked home and others waited for the trolley. These are the only two outings the Freshies have had, but they have tried to distinguish themselves in other ways. The freshman recitations in the Assembly on Friday are some of the best. The Freshman certainly made a mark for themselves in speaking when Miss Miriam Abelson, a member of their class won second prize in the annual prize speaking contest. This is the first member of a Freshman class ever to win a prize in the speaking contest. The Freshmen have tried for a place in athletics, but, of course, the choice was given to the more experienced classmen. However, if the promises of what they will do next year come true, our Freshman class will be transformed into a reliable Sophomore class. NOTES May Burns is a doctor, with her office in Glen Cove. Benjamin Kabnick is a chemist in New York City. Katherine McLoughlin is in the employ of Gude, Windmill Co. Lulu Hansen is a trained nurse in Mineola Hospital.

THE RE1) AND GREEN Rage Fifteen Not only that, but we can claim one of the successful contestants for the Amherst Cup, which Glen Cove won this year. Taking it all in all the whole year has been thoroughly enjoyed, for something has been going on every week. Our one thought now' is to do our best in the regents. And in after years when we look back upon our high school days, undoubtedly the most vivid recollections will be centered around our Senior year. It was in that year that we really awoke to the value of an education and first began to appreciate the privilege we had enjoyed in being able to complete our course. It was then, too, that we began to realize what the efforts of our teachers actually meant to us. For any success that we achieve in the future we must not forget that a great part is due to the patient and loyal efforts of the faculty. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Class Reporter......... Bertha COHEN Whenever you read of a large, successful school event you can almost always consider that the Juniors had something to do with it. Gus Wheeler, as president of the class has led them in their successful work with the following staff of officers: Dorothy Hallock, Vice President; Archie Brause, Secretary; Jack Matthews, Treasurer. It is no wonder the class is well know'n. You may further identify them by their class colors, blue and gray; their mascot, the eagle; and their motto, “Seize An Opportunity.” The class has given a few' entertainments. The first was a farewell party to Miss Lillian La Forge, a member of the class, w'ho left this city. A few members of the famous football squad attended, and all had a jolly good time. Later the Juniors gave two other parties to which the Seniors were invited. These parties (to quote the class diction-arian, Miss Pauline Fadrosky) were the epitome of delectable times. The Junior girls have organized a Junior Tramp Club, which is a success now, but will do more next year. The girls go on a hike once every two weeks, when they build fires and eat their suppers at the beach. These little excursions are al- ways delightful, and the girls are under the careful guidance of Miss Richardson. The Junior boys have distinguished themselves by their excellent work in the Minstrel and Debate, which has been appreciated and valued by the Senior class. Next year just look out for them, and see what they will do. They are planning surprises for the school and the whole city. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THE MATTER W ITH SOME OF THE JUNIORS. CAN YOU TELL US? Why does Alice Howell? Why is Mary Green? Why is Gordon IF right? Why is it that Edna Halh-a-way? Why does Adeline Boyle? When being shown some snapshots of a large white building taken by the Seniors while on their week-end trip, a clever Junior replied, “Why, I say, the place isn’t such a bad looking hotel.” The picture was of Mount Vernon. We find two selfish people in the whole Junior Class. Glen Springman and Archie Brause. Glen grabs all the height and Archie grabs all the width. SOPHOMORE NOTES Class Reporter .... Emily Raynor It has been a difficult thing for the Sophomore class to organize for the Sophs are scattered in a number of different class rooms and it is not an easy task to get them together. However, the plucky Sophomores have not let this trifle baffle them and of the twenty-five members they have elected Robert Purshall, their President; Alice Conway, their Vice President; Tessie Brawn, Secretary and Miss Baker, Treasurer. Their colors are red and black, and while as yet they have no motto, their slogan seems to be “W ork.” Kathryn O’Brien, one of the Sophomore girls did some excellent running at the athletic meet at Min-eola, May 21, and many other Sophomore girls aided in the pageants. The Sophs like the other classes have not progressed so much this year because of the hard
