|= THE RED AND GREEN = SENIOR MAGAZINE DRIVE The Class of 1930 started the year's activities with a Magazine Drive sponsored by the Crowell Publishing Company. This was the first attempt to raise money for the trip to Washington. George Lane acted as Business Manager of the Drive. The Class was divided into two squadrons, the Red and the Blue, with Lydia Fadrow-sky leader of the Red, and Maybelle Matthews leader of the Blue. The magazines offered for sale were the “Woman’s Home Companion, “The American Magazine, “Collier's, and “Farm and Fireside. The number of subscriptions turned in was 377, 197 to the credit of the Blue Team, and 180 to the Red, while the total amount of money collected was $500.50, of which $234.75 was retained as the profit of the Class. THE SENIOR BALL The annual Senior Ball was held on Wednesday, February 12. The Auditorium was artistically decorated, and formed a fitting background to the most beautiful school dance of recent years. The Seniors were guided by a faculty committee, comprising Miss Baker, Chairman, Miss Long, and Miss Wade. The attendance of townspeople and loyal members of the Alumni helped to make the affair a success both socially and financially, while the Manford Aces contributed diligently and very pleasingly to the musical side of the event. A number of spotlight waltzes were a beautiful and delightful feature of the evening. This social made possible an increase of over $300 in the ashing-ton fund.

THE RED AND GREEN SENIOR CAKE SALES On Saturday, April 12, the Seniors held three cake sales, one in Glen Cove, another in Locust Valley, and the third in Glen Head. Each member of the Class served on one of the three committees. Marie Olsen was Chairlady of the sales, and was assisted by Nellie Treliey and Madeline Wischebrink, who were in charge in Locust Valley and Glen Head, respectively. The combined profit amounted to approximately $170.00, which was added to the already large Washington funds. The success of these sales was due to a great extent to the kind cooperation of Mr. Clingen of Glen Cove, Mrs. Pollack of Locust Valley, and Mr. Wolf of Glen Head, who allowed the Seniors to use their stores. A WORD TO THE JUNIORS You are fast approaching the turning point of your high school career, dear Juniors. You are nearing the realization of your hopes, your dreams, and you will soon attain the position as leaders of your school,—the place to which you have aspired for three whole years. No one of you can deny that he has been ever envious of the Seniors and of the privileges belonging to, or rather we should say, assumed by the Seniors. There has always lurked within you that indescribable wish to be one of the “most upper” classmen. Now, that seed of hope will bloom and bear its fruit. But the enjoyment thereof depends upon each individual. Advantages and rights are given but they must be neither abused nor extended to meet your convenience. If you make use of them as you would expect others to do, more contentment will lie yours. These aforementioned hopes are common traits in every Junior. They are so prominent and fixed in each one that their attainment makes the members of the class one—a solid union. You can clearly remember when you were Freshmen,—how you were, literally speaking, thrown into a mass of students, disunited and disorganized as far as standards and characteristics are concerned. During your Sophomore year, you came a bit closer together, but there still existed that barrier of separateness. When you became Juniors, you came into closer contact; you began to organize more firmly; and thus you broke down that barrier. But your Senior year reveals the idea of your oneness in everything you do, especially your striving for the same things,—the Washington trip and above all, graduation. One of your greatest dreams, the Washington trip, is realized when you are a Senior and it seems to draw you nearer to your classmates. Then graduation. the super-climax of your entire high school career. Never does one S= 1930 =S Page twenty-six
