CLASS ASSEMBLIES This year, the custom was inaugurated of having each class conduct at least one assembly. All the exercises were, indeed, most interesting but it is the unanimous opinion that the Sophomores were the best. The programs of all the classes consisted of songs, recitations, readings and current topics. Each class, however, introduced its own special feature, as a piano or violin duet, oi iginal essay, or a chorus. 1 he Sophomore chorus was especially enjoyable. These exercises were both instructive and amusing, and were greatly enjoyed by all. ARBOR DAY Arbor Day was observed here on April twenty-fourth. The exercises were held in the afternoon on the lawn in front of the school. 1 here was a program made up of different drills, dances, recitations and songs by the grade pupils. The most interesting features were the dances by the first and seventh and eighth grades. All those who were present were well pleased with the work of the pupils and teachers in preparing the program. SENIOR NIGHT On Hallowe’en the Seniors of the Southold High School put on an entertainment called “Senior Night” in the school auditorium. The program consisted of an opening chorus bv the cast, a burlesque on “Bluebeard,” and three animated I neT» Mu,,er’” “Excelsior” and “The Village Black- , 1 °Mh? Scn,ors took part. Five Senior bovs played in Bluebeard, three of. them taking the parts of girls, while the ghost dance was made up of other high school students. he three animated poems were very humorous and nonsensical but very clever. In the afternoon the show was given lor the school children, and afterwards the children played games under the direction of the Senior girls. Punch and fancy cakes were on sale at both the afternoon and evening performances. In the evening the auditorium was crowded and the show went off very well. It was a great success and made a big increase in the Seniors’ Washington Fund. The program was ended by a dance with music by A1 Dennis’ or-c n cstra. The success of this show, one of the most clever, unique and original performances ever put on in Southold was due hugely to the coaching of Mr. C. F. Kramer, and Miss Miriam Kramer I he capacity crowd that filled the auditorium declared, almost to a person, that the evening of October y 1024 was one of the most pleasant ever spent in their lives.' Page Ten THE CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT The first annual Christmas entertainment of the Southold High School was given December 18, 1924 in the school auditorium. The program consisted of drills, plays and songs by the pupils of the grades and of the high school classes. The entertainment as a whole was very successful, the best feature being the play, “Christmas in a Country School, by the seventh and eighth grades. An unusually large crowd came to the entertainment and we were well supported by their applause. After the program, ice cream and cake contributed by the Parent-Teachers' Association was sold by the Senior girls for the benefit of the Athletic Association. COMMUNITY SPIRIT IN SOUTHOLD The last few years have seen many improvements and developments in the village of Southold. These beneficial works started by village societies have been accomplished mainly because of the whole hearted, unselfish desire of the townspeople to support any sound and sane movement for the good of the village. The members of the Parent-Teachers' Association, the Ladies Village Improvement Society and the Dramatic Society have worked tirelessly to promote the interests of South-old. They have aroused in the people the spirit to accomplish. By subscription money was obtained to remodel Belmont Hall. Now it is a fine community hall, which has one of the largest stages on Eastern Long Island. This hall together with the ever popular Park House, built at Founders' Landing furnishes an excellent place for entertainments and dancing. No longer will space be lacking for library purposes for Mrs. Clement Booth has bought and donated to the village, as a library the Southold Savings Bank building. This donation was made in memory of her father and mother, who were active in helping any worthy cause. On the lawn in front of the building stands a stone, the memorial of Southolders to those who served to uphold democracy. Across from the Universalist church a monument has also been erected to commemorate the noble deeds of the Union Army in the Civil War. Southold is known all over the Island as a community in which the highest community spirit prevails. The Dramatic Society which every year stages plays at various east-end villages, has to a large extent, accomplished this. These plays, dramatized by local amateurs, who work unceasingly and do their best are worthy of a village five times the size of South-old. Yes. They are as good if not better than many New Page Eleven
