P'ifth. The unpardonable laughs of Johnson and Scott, which proved to be such annoyances to Miss Brandhorst, we bequeath to William Gengerelly and John Nicholson respectively. Sixth.

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
