All right. Now settle down to work. We wont have any more nonsense. You act like a couple of two-year-olds. When I went to school it was etc., etc.---. hy, any fourth grade children can answer that question. They’re not hard at all! The trouble is that you people are too downright lazy.

THE RED AND GREEN Rage Twenty-one were now ready to give Oyster Bay a good lacing. They came to Glen Cove determined to bring their banner back to Oyster Bay, but they were greatly disappointed. Sheehan, captain of the team, was the star, winning baskets from all sides of the court, and when he stopped, Cohen continued. Thus the resulting score was 40 to 18, in favor of the Red and Green. Our game with Far Rockaway was our first defeat of the season. This prepared us for our game with Port Washington, which was very disastrous to them. They had brought their whole town over, but that did not do them very much good. Hathaway and Kabachnik, Glen Cove’s guards, played a starring game, Springman, too, was in good form. The final score was 41 to 9. On February 21st, we went to Oyster Bay to play a return game. Due to the fact that the court was very small, and the baskets very low, they defeated us, thus making a tie between the two teams. The final score was 39 to 27. The final game was to be played at Roslyn to decide the championship. Before this game, our first and second teams went to play at Port, and sure enough both teams won. Captain “Yak” easily led the second team to victory; while the first was a very interesting game, with a final score of 23 to 19. Most exciting of all was our final game with Oyster Bay at Roslyn. The Roslyn Gymnasium was crowded with people from Glen Cove and Oyster Bay, as well as from surrounding towns. At the end of the first half, Oyster Bay was leading by six points, but this did not discourage us. We were determined to keep the banner, no matter what happened. With ten seconds to play, and Oyster Bay leading by one point, Cohen shot a foul which tied the game. An extra five minute period was played, in which Cohen shot another foul. Thus we had won the championship of Nassau County by a very close margin. In the last five games of the season, we lost only one—to Bay Shore. For the first time in the history of the high school, had Glen Cove defeated Flushing in any sport. Our last game of the season was played with Lindenhurst in which we won by an easy score of 28 to 19. Thus by the good work of Hathaway, Spring-man, Kabachnik, Cohen, Captain Sheehan, and substitute Petroccia, our basketball team passed a very successful season. The material for 1922 looks very promising, and we expect to continue with our former success on the court. The student body of the high school deserves to be complimented for the manner in which they supported their team for the whole season. TRACK Since we have no baseball team, it was thought advisable to take up track. Some of the fellows, under Manager Petroccia’s supervision got together and with Mr. Gribbin’s help, entered the track meet at Port Washington on May 7. Glen Cove came home with three prizes; first in the 440-yard run, and second in the 220-yard run, both won by Hathaway; and a third in the 440-yard run, won by Petroccia. After this meet Hathaway was elected Captain and we formed a track team to compete in the Interscholastic meet held at Mineola on May 21st. Leonard Ritchie won first in the Junior high jump, Springman third in the Senior high jump, and Hathaway second in the 440-yard run. The school is indebted to Edward Brause and Franklin Vincent of the eighth grade for contributing seven of Glen Cove’s sixteen points. All these prizes won by Glen Cove show that we have material for everything that we enter, and if we go in to win, we win. Although track has not been very successful in Glen Cove this season, there is absolutely no reason why we cannot be as successful in this line as in football and basketball. Come students, wake up and support the track team, if not this season, then next. Higher Education. Miss Baker—In case anything should go wrong with this experiment, we, and the laboratory with us, will be blown sky-high. Now come a little closer, boys, in order that you may follow me. Have a Heart? Andrews—I am indebted to you for all 1 learned in your course. Miss Andrus—Not at all, it was a mere trifle. —Ex.
