THE RED AND GREEN Lane and arrived at school on time with a smile. She has earned her honors. Sumner Bernstein, who is one of the numer-our Bernstein family, keeps us girls guessing where he got his permanent wave. His certainly would be a boon to a girl. But Sumner has withal been a faithful student. He has added much to our high school life by his jokes. He is shared in this distinction by Sidney Kessler, popularly known as “Jit.” Sidney is one of our great athletes. He has starred upon the football field and has taken an important part in our other sports. Sidney’s favorite subject is History. One day. Miss Brandhorst asked Sidney where he would look to find some information on the Civil War. Sidney replied that “he would look on someone else’s paper.” Ray Freedman, out of school hours, the popular assistant manager of the Glen Head Drug Store, has always maintained a high standard of scholarship. He managed the footbal team successfully, and so earned his letter. One of our best natured boys is Edward Maliesky, who always has a smile, even when called down by a teacher. This has endeared him to us all. Edward fought hard on the football team and took an important part in other athletic activities. Every day the Locust Valley bus has brought to the school house door Josephine Coddington, Helen Dickinson, Helene Dorn, Emma Washburne, Esther Mould, and Thomas Bellingham. Esther Mould, who is moldy in nothing but name, is one of our most industrious scholars and ranks high in the class. Why shouldn’t she? She is the daughter of Principal Mould of Locust Valley. Josephine Coddington is one of the wittiest in the class and helps to keep us going. She is also one of our honor students. Helene left us for a time to try life in a New York City high school. She will tell you why she returned. She is one of our most loyal members. Helen Dickinson and Emma Washburne always bring a smile with them from Locust Valley. Among the Locust Valley bunch, we must not fail to mention Thomas Bellingham. Thomas is quiet, but still water runs deep. Just watch him and you’ll see him quietly taking his place by a certain girl. However, Thomas is nice to all the girls. He always escorted as many as wanted to go along, while in Washington. LeRoy is our competent assistant treasurer. He has played a prominent part in all the athletics; he was manager of the basketball team. Joseph has been one of our busiest boys. He has been Class President for all four years and has also been business manager of the Tattler staff. He has played an important part in all athletics. Our class has two sets of sisters graduating. These are the Kirbys and the Mar-engos. Alice, because of her artistic abilities, has done much for our class, by helping along our social activities. Dorothy is the tall baby of the class. She plays the piano for us at assemblies. We almost have a set of twins in Doris Fling and Virginia McCarthy, who are inseparable. However, they differ, in that one is thick and the other thin. Mary Brett has added much to Senior life because of her perpetual smile which oftens turns into a giggle. The only time she stops is when Miss Richards calls her down and then not for long. It is a question whether Ida Mandelup or Lucinda Johnson talks the more, however, both are distinguished for their conversational abilities. Helen Olsen, Lena Kaufman, Marie Gren-nan, Julia Wolpert, and Anita Levin, are noted for being quiet. Julia has also an abundance of good nature. Helen Olsen has attained a very high standing of scholarship. Marie is always smiling and working hard. Mary Sekwood walks along with a slow, even pace and she talks the same way. I don’t think it would be possible to rattle her. Mary distinguished herself at Washington by spending one whole evening in a good sound [22 j

THE RED AND GREEN had not had such pretty girls selling it. We started a canvass for McCall’s Magazine and most of us have become experienced salesmen. Next we had a cake sale in Clingen’s Drug Store. The returns were very good and we had a few cakes left after the girls in charge had eaten all they wished. How surprising! Our class held the third annual Senior Ball. This was very successful. After all expenses were paid we had over one hundred dollars to our credit in the bank. This was more than any Senior Class had ever received from the ball. One of the greatest means of making money during the year is the school play. This year, instead of having the play entirely carried on by the Seniors alone, the characters were chosen from the whole high school. Sixty per cent of the returns were given to the Seniors and the rest W'ent to the General Organization. Although we had two of the greatest blizzards in a number of years on the nights of the play, “The Goose Hangs High” was a great success. The Seniors took a prominent part in it. Lydia, as Lois Ingalls, made a very good flapper. Joseph Dioguardi was a successful society climber. The returns from the play swelled our bank account. In March, we held two cake sales, one in Locust Valley, and the other in Glen Cove. Each side wished to make the most money. The cakes were all sold early in the afternoon and Monday morning, the returns were made known to the class. Locust Valley had made about $41, and Glen Cove about $39. Locust Valley had won. This cake sale was about our last attempt to earn money. Altogether we earned about S930. This was such a large sum that each member of the thirty-six who went to Washington, had only to pay S10 for the four days’ expenses. As there were only a few weeks left before we would be going, everything was excitement. Of course, all the girls were getting new dresses. Each one wanted to know what the other wTas going to wear. The boys did not say so much, but you should have seen them starting off from the station—new hats, coats, suits, shoes, everything new. Sumner Bernstein certainly looked stylish. Mr. Grib-bin met us at Glen Street Station, Thursday morning, April 8th. We boarded a train and arrived in Penn Station about 10:30. Here we met Miss Richards, happy as a lark. With Mr. Gribbin and Miss Richards as chaperons, we started out like one happy family. To our delight, we found that a private car was reserved for us. This was lucky for the other people because we made quite some noise. We visited all the important places as previous classes had done. Some of these places were Arlington, Mt. Vernon, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. We saw the famous Japanese Cherry blossoms in full bloom. Some of our most enjoyable times were passed when we all sat around the table at meal time. Mr. Gribbin, sitting at the head of the table with a huge smile on his face, made a jolly host. Miss Richards was one of the jolliest in the crowd. Sunday night at 10:30, we drew into Glen Cove feeling that wTe had been traveling for a long time. We did not get to bed until near morning, for we had so much to tell the folks at home. We shall never forget the good time we had at Washington and all the wonderful things we saw. The next morning in school we were all walking in our sleep. Some of the teachers took pity on us and let us dream on until the next day. I must tell you a little about some of the members of this important class. Albert Allchin, one of the most industrious members, has waited so that he might graduate with us. Chemistry is his favorite subject. Kenneth is very quiet, but is very popular. He is one of our most scholarly boys and has been important in athletics. They say that Astrid is the only girl with whom he is on speaking terms. He uses good judgement. Astrid is one of our honor pupils and has always done her best for our class. For four years she has tramped the length of Dosoris [21]

THE REI) AND GREEN sleep while the rest of us were out having a good time. Muriel Cohen is one of our best speakers. She won second prize in the local speaking contest and also won a medal in the orator-icacl contest. Janet Anthony is a quiet little girl who never worries but gets there just the same. Helen Hohenrath is always busy and sunshiny. Maybe this is because she is an active member of the “Tattler” stalf. Kathleen Mordecai has been our efficient candy seller. Sweets to the sweet. Agnes Goughian, one of the most popular girls in the class, is our vice-president and salutatorian. She is one of the members of the “Tattler” staff and has done much for our class. Lydia Stringham is our class secretary. She is also the editor of the “Tattler.’ Her services to our class are innumerable. She Class W Be it known that ive, the Class of 1926, of the Glen Cove High School, in the County of Nassau, and State of New York, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this instrument to be our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. We leave to Mr. Gribbin the sole right to act as judge and jury on all cases concerning disorder among the student body. To Mr. Martin we hereby give the praiseworthy privilege of making and painting all scenery used on the School stage during the years 1926 and ’27. We hereby give and bequeath to Miss Richards the powers necessary to hold in check the wild Senior Class of 1927. To the Treasurer of the Class of 1927, we do, on our departure, give our balance of cash, if any, held by the Glen Cove I rust Company, to be used in erecting a suitable memorial to the great brains and brave hearts of 1926.

They have brought her the honor of being valedictorian and winner of the Sherwood prize. There is another whose chief claim to distinction is that she is the historian of this class. The most important member of our class is Miss Richards. Miss Richards has been long suffering and kind. She has not only urged us on when we were inclined to lag in our studies, but she has done everything possible to make our Senior year most enjoyable. We have now completed four years of hard, but pleasant study, and we have had many good times together. Due to the tireless efforts of our teachers, we are now ready to graduate. Many times our thoughts will back to the happy days spent in Glen Cove High. May Hocc. ill of ’26 queath to the Senior girls of the Class of '27, the mirror which hangs in the cloakroom and the exclusive right to the aforesaid cloakroom.

To the Faculty, we give our lasting thanks for the knowledge, if any, that they have imparted to us. We do leave to the High School, our red and black banner to be used for decorating the Assembly in future years. To “Bill” Gengarelly and John Dioguardi, we bequeath the same good will that Miss Brandhorst bestowed on Tom Bellingham and Eddie Maliesky. We give to Clifford Johnson, LeRoy Dayton’s power of speech, and to “Leap” Mallon, Ray Freedman’s vocabulary and “pep.” To Frank Hartmeyer, we bequeath Eddie Maliesky’s athletic ability, not to be misused.
