THE RED AND GREEN enjoy himself so much and experience such happiness as in his Senior year. You, Juniors, have shown yourselves to he one of the most promising classes and one of the best, and you deserve all the good fortune and luck that shall be yours next term. We, the Seniors, bestow upon you all the wishes for a most successful and happy Senior Year. THE WASHINGTON TRIP April 24 marked the realization of the Seniors' fond dreams, for, on that day, the Class left Glen Cove for a few days' sojourn in Washington, D. C. The special car which had been attached to the Long Island train was transferred to a Washington-bound train at Penn Station. The party arrived in Washington at three o'clock, and made its way to the Arlington Hotel. After dinner, a visit was made to the Congressional Library, an indescribably beautiful place, which is well worth visiting from standpoints of art, history and education. A sightseeing trip by bus was scheduled for Friday morning. Among the most prominent of the places visited and viewed, were Arlington, the National Cemetery, the Memorial Ampitheatre and Grave of the Unknown Soldier, the Lee Mansion, Fort Myer, Georgetown, and Rock Creek Park. On Friday afternoon the Class went to Mount Vernon, via Potomac. This was one of the most impressive scenes of all. It was almost incredible that a group of Long Islanders should be viewing the home of ashington, scenes familiar to him. and, with reverence, visiting his tomb. The return trip was also by boat. On Saturday morning, more wonders were revealed to the eyes of the travelers. The hours passed swiftly as the party trooped through the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Pan-American Building, the Smithsonian Institute, the New National Museum, the White House, and the Capitol. I11 the afternoon, an interesting trip was made to Annapolis, Maryland, where the Class visited first the Capitol, and then the Naval Academy. Saturday evening was spent in various forms of amusement, and Sunday morning was also free. The return home seemed to be very short. When the train reached Glen Street Station, all suddenly realized that the trip was over, and they had seen and learned a great deal. They had literally traveled the paths of America's saviors: they had witnessed the scenes of the controlling forces of government; and they had become familiar with places of past and present historical importance. As to the future—all they can say is: May future Senior of Glen Cove High School have this same privilege—and may we show to some extent what we have profited by this trip. 1930 Page twenty-severi

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
