s=THE RED AND GREEN = SENIOR CAKE SALE On March 14, the Seniors held a cake sale. Since some members of the class are from Locust Valley, it was decided to hold one there as well as in Glen Cove. Mr. Clingen and Mr. Goelz very generously placed their drug stores at the disposal of the Seniors. Home made cakes were furnished by the members of the Senior Class. The committee that supervised the sale in Glen Cove consisted of Mabel Bjorkgren, Chairman, Irma Wood, Sylvia Rose, Margaret Braun, and Dorothy Lange. Those who took charge in Locust Valley were Emma Hotopp, Edna Stay, and Grace McKeever. The sale was a great success. The Seniors wish to express their gratitude to all who helped make this affair so successful. THE SENIOR BALL In previous years the annual Senior ball was held in the Kindergarten in the Primary Building. The destruction of that building by fire made it necessary for the Seniors to hold their dance elsewhere. Monsignor Kelty very generously placed St. Patrick’s Auditorium at the disposal of the Seniors, and the dance was held there on February 11. Because of the proximity of St. Valentine’s Day, the hall was tastefully decorated with red hearts and streamers. Favors were distributed, punch was served, and ice cream and wafers were sold. The Manford Aces of Brooklyn furnished the music. The dance committee was as follows: Miss Kuck of the Faculty, Emma Hotopp, Catherine Coughlan, Julia Orzehowsky, Herbert McCar-roll and Clifford Johnson. This affair was voted as the biggest and most successful in the school’s history. The Seniors sincerely appreciate the cooperation of all who worked for the success of the dance. SENIOR MAGAZINE DRIVE In the early fall, the Seniors embarked upon an enterprise not at all unfamiliar to this high school. To enlarge the fund necessary for the Washington trip, the class decided to solicit subscriptions for magazines among which were: “McCalls”, “The American”, “The Mentor”, “Col- liers”, and “The Woman’s Home Companion.” Page twenty

THE RED AND GREEN In order to create a spirit of competition the class was divided into three teams: the Reds, the Greens, and the Blues. The respective cap- tains were Abraham Buxenbaum, Sylvia Rose and Effie Dickerson. Marshall Eastment acted as general sales manager. The race wras a close one; the Greens being victorious, and the Reds next, followed by the Blues. As a result of this drive, the Washington fund was greatly increased. Besides, the Crowell Publishing Company awarded the Seniors a pennant for selling more subscriptions per person than any other school in Nassau County. Their efforts had won for them the county championship. The Seniors are grateful to all who helped make this drive so successful. THE WASHINGTON TRIP At 6 :30 Thursday morning, April 21, a special bus met thirty seniors at the school. The students left immediately for Twenty-third Street where they took the ferry to Jersey City. Through the courtesy of Mr. Titus, a special car on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was provided for the class. Their first stop-over was at Philadelphia where they visited the historic parts of the city. After this, the party again boarded the special; this time not to stop till it was in Washington. It may seem remarkable, but the students never once appeared tired or restless during the long trip. Perhaps it was the new and ever changing scenery. Of course, they were not disappointed when they finally reached Washington. The massive but handsome Union Station impressed everyone. Here a special bus conveyed the party to the Cairo Hotel. The first tour was made to the Congressional Library Thursday evening. Before the party reached the library a cloud burst had drenched everyone. This seemed to add to the fun. Here at this most beautiful library in the world was seen the original Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. On the way home, it rained again. Some of the seniors’ pocket money was spent at the tailors to remove the effects of the rain. Friday morning, although it was raining, the class visited the Arlington National Cemetery, the grave of the Unknown Soldier, and the Lincoln Memorial. The last was one of the most inspiring sights of the entire trip. A trip to Mt. Vernon had been planned for the afternoon, but had to be canceled on account of the weather. The class spent the time as they pleased. Saturday morning the party visited the Smithsonian Institute where the collections of Roosevelt and the collections of the World War are found, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving where money and postage Page twenty-one
