THE RED ANI) GREEN We left Glen Cove, Thursday, April 21, by bus to Twenty-third Street, New York City, then by ferry to Jersey City where we boarded a special car for Washington. Miss Richards met us in Philadelphia. After a sight-seeing trip there, we left for Washington. Here as previous classes had done, we visited all the places of interest. Some of these were the Capitol, Pan American Building, Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonian Institute, and Arlington. The next day, unlike other Monday mornings, we walked around in our sleep. The teachers were lenient with us, however. It seemed incredible that our long anticipated trip was over. Now I must tell you a bit about the members of this unusual class. Mae Allchin has worked hard during her last year, especially on refreshment committees. Lloyd Baldwin is almost Mae’s twin in that the both of them are so jolly. All of the girls envy Lloyd’s curly hair. History is his favorite subject. Sylene Bernstein has done good work for “The Tattler.” She kept us well informed as to the whereabouts of the alumni. Mabel Bjorkgren is our vice-president and salutatorian. Regardless of her healthy appetite, she was chairman of the cake sale committee. Margaret Braun has worked faithfully and is one of the most loyal members of the class. She is also one of the honor students. Abraham Buxenbaum has taken a prominent part in athletics, having played on both football and basketball teams. Boxie is one of Miss Richards’ favorites because he never talks or chews gum. ' Catherine Coughlan is editor of “The Tattler” and has displayed unusual literary talent. She also has the honor of being valedictorian. Leroy Dayton waited another year so that he might graduate with us. LeRoy has taken an active part in athletics. It was toward the end of the football season that he was able to “strike his stride.” All during the year, Ophelia Dayton and Sylvia Rose have been rivals as ticket sellers. Sylvia finally won the race. Effie Dickerson did good work for the class especially during the magazine drive. Marshall Eastment’s graduation will be two-fold—from high school and from amateur plays. He is our class president and has filled that office well. Esther Feinberg is one of the quietest in our class. The theories she disclosed in Physics put those of Newton and Galileo in the background. Alma Gerken has won the reputation of never being without her homework. As a result, she is an honor student. Anna Germaine and Esther Nylund, both good students, are almost inseparable. You hardly ever see one without the other except when a certain person from Lattingtown is around. Then Esther is seen no more. Page twenty-four

THE RED AND GREEN On class night last year we gave the Seniors a party in the Kindergarten. The dues we had paid during the year defrayed all expenses. We finished our Junior year well satisfied with ourselves. Our Senior year has been the best of all. From time to time some of the class dropped off until at the beginning of the term, we numbered 32. Nevertheless, our undertakings have all been successful. This is better realized when it is known that the class is almost entirely composed of the “weaker sex.” As soon as it was convenient, we held a class meeting. Thinking that royal blue and silver were too modest as colors for such an illustrious class, we chose yellow and black. However, we retained our motto “Vestigia nulla restrorsum”—no footsteps backward. Marshall Eastment was elected President; Mabel Bjorkgren, Vice-President; and Julia Orzehow-sky. Secretary. Miss Richards, our Treasurer, knew from past experience the large sums of money Seniors have to handle; so she asked for an assistant. To this office, we elected Thomas Scott who kept track of our money very efficiently. Incidentally, Tommy is Scotch. After we purchased our class banner, we turned our attention to rings. After much debating, we ordered gold rings with jade stones. We soon started to canvas for subscriptions to “McCall’s Magazine”, “The Woman’s Home Companion,” “Colliers,” “The American.” and “The Mentor.” The response given by our parents was prompt and generous, for we profited greatly from this drive. The Crowell Publishing Company awarded us a pennant for securing more subscriptions per pupil than any other school in the county. This is the first thing of its kind in Glen Cove High School. Then came the successful Senior Ball, which was held in St. Patrick’s Auditorium because the kindergarten had been destroyed by fire. The receipts from this dance were greater than from any previous Senior Ball, and no one questions its success socially. But then it takes a good class to conduct a good dance. Our next attempt to earn money was the cake sale. We held one in Glen Cove and one in Locust Valley. Here, as in other cases, the returns were greater than any before. The largest part of the Washington fund is obtained by means of the school play. The Seniors receive 60 per cent of the proceeds; the General Organization receives 40 per cent. This year the play was “The Show-off,” a recent Broadway success. The Seniors were well represented. Marshall Eastment made a perfect “show-off.” Edna Stay was his wife and Emma Hotopp her sister. All played their parts well. After the play, only a few weeks remained before we were to go to Washington. Of course, the girls talked of nothing but clothes. The boys scoffed at the girls, but you should have seen them when we were ready to leave. Why, one could hardly recognize James Mallon. Page twenty-three

THE RED AND GREEN The spendthrift of the class is Erwin Hahn. It was in Washington that Erwin was nicknamed “Dutch-treat Hahny.” It’s rather a long story but ask Mabel—she knows. Frank Hartmeyer is one of the school’s best athletes. He is captain of the football team and has taken an active part in all sports. We certainly are proud of Frank. Every day the bus has brought Emma Hotopp. Grace McKeever and Edna Stay from Locust Valley. Emma has served on various committees and has taken prominent parts in the school plays. Edna and Grace took charge of the selling of candy. No wonder it sold so quickly. Besides Edna took a leading part in this year’s play. Bogue Hunt is one of the most industrious among us. French is his favorite subject. Whenever the French class has a test, Bogue is among the missing. When it comes to oratory, Clifford Johnson “shines”, for he has taken part in several speaking contests. He was the athletics reporter on “The Tattler” staff. Dorothy Lange is another who waited an extra year so she could graduate with us. We appreciated her waiting because she is jolly and worked hard for the class. When we studied Physics, we learned that no machine had been perfected that could produce perpetual motion. The inventors must have overlooked Dorothy Lockw'ood. What an incessant talker! The world has yet to receive its most famous woman. James Mallon, better known as “Leap”, may not know how to play football, but no one in high school can hold a candle up to his “gawlf”. “Leap” also pitched on the Senior baseball team. Herbert McCarroll, popularly known as “Bibs”, is a talented pianist. But how anyone can ever wear to school the loud sweater and socks that he does and still live is a mystery. Thomas Scott has been our competent assistant treasurer. He also took an important part in athletics and this year’s play. Thomas is all speed. He ran up the Washington Monument which is 555 feet high in 7i 2 minutes—he has remarkable wind. Irma Wood has taken care of the history annex throughout the whole year. Laura Young is a good student even if she is bashful. The most important rpember of our class is Miss Richards. Her services to the class have been innumerable. Always patient and kind, she has indeed been a friend. Thus, our history as far as this school is concerned is completed. During the busy years that are before us, we will never forget the pleasant hours spent in Glen Cove High School. Julia Orzehowsky. Page twenty-five
