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.

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.

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

Signed and declared by the Class of 1926 on the twenty-first day of June in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-six, to be their last W ill and Testament and sealed in the presence of us who have at their request signed our names as witnesses thereto.

Beside me lay the Glen Cove Echo which I had been reading. After many attempts at beginning the prophecy, I gave up and resumed my reading. In a short time, the paper became blurry and the printing changed. The date on the paper became June 30, 1946, and the write-ups were odd. I eagerly scanned the front page and letters in large heavy type caught my eye. “The Twentieth Annual Reunion of the Class of '26 of G. C. H. S. held Monday.” This was the heading. I read on: “The graduates of the Class of 1926 of G. C. H. S. held their twentieth annual reunion, last Monday evening, June 27, 1946 in the main dining room of the Astor Hotel on School Street. A w’onderful dinner was served in the first part of the evening. The room was artistically decorated with black and red, the class colors. Large numbers— 1926—hung from the chandeliers and black bowls with red roses adorned the room. The table was also uniquely decorated. All this was the work of Miss Alice Marengo. Miss Marengo is famed for her art and recently won first prize in an art exhibition in New' York. Her painting in oil was a scene of the country in winter.’’ I became engrossed in my reading and forgot where I was. This was interesting. This report would contain an account of all my classmates. I continued: “Mr. Joseph Dioguardi, Jr., son of the former class president, acted as toastmaster. Joseph, Jr. was young for this position, but he has inherited all the ability of leadership from his father. Mr. Joseph Dioguardi, Sr. is noted as a competent lawyer. He and his wife, w'ho will be remembered as the demure M iss Agnes Coughlan, are spending the summer months, touring Europe. They regretted very much that they could not be present on this occasion. “Mr. Gribbin, one of the cleverest lawyers in the country, and Miss Richards, former class teacher, were the guests of honor. Mr. Gribbin commented on the success of all, and wished his former pupils much luck in the future. The speakers of the evening included many other prominent men and women. “When al had been seated for dinner, Mr. Kessler proposed that the class motto, “Non f24]
