The picnic, held at the Bungalow Club at South Harbor was a very jolly get-acquainted party, in spite of the easterly storm which accompanied it. , The Class Parties, so successful the year before, were continued in 1928-9. The Fifth and Sixth Grade Party held in October was combined with an afternoon reception to the teachers. In November a pleasant evening meeting was held at which Mrs. A. P. Opdyke, of Sea Cliff, our District Chairman, was present and told us much about new Parent-Teacher Clubs on Long Island. No meeting was held in December, but thanks to the genetosity of the Long Island Lighting Company, Mr. Stacy, and many townspeople who responded to our appeal, the Community Christmas dree was again lighted. Health” was our topic during the winter months. In January Miss MacPhillips, of the State Department, gave a talk to mothers, At the Class Party held in February, the first four grades presented a Health Play. No activity except a business meeting took place in March. In this month a sad loss occurred in the death of one of our most loyal members, our social chairman and former president, Mrs. Elinor Wells. A card and domino party on April 19 took the place of the regular meeting in this month, and fourteen tables were filled in spite of the worst storm of the year. May, as usual, was a busy month, beginning with the Seventh and Eighth Grade Party on the tenth, with its Latin Play and Sewing Club Exhibit, and ending on the thirty-first with the three-act Operetta, Goldilock’s Adventures,” directed by Miss Walker. This was a gala occasion and well repaid the work of the many teachers, pupils, and mothers who cooperated to make it a success. The Fourth Annual Mother-Daughter-Teacher Banquet was held in the Presbyterian Parish House on May 23 and was attended by 124 guests. The guests of honor were Mrs. Mary Jane Fowler, of Cut-chogue, and Miss Margaret Dcale, retiring after 39 years of service. The Banquet was dedicated to Miss Deale, and each speaker paid some tribute to this beloved teacher. At the close of the evening, a purse of gold was presented to her, a token of love and appreciation from her Southold friends. The new work of the Association this year has been to encourage 12 THE SNUFF BOX high standards in the High School. Two prizes have been offered to Seniors. One of these was offered to the Class as a whole and depended on scholarship. As a result of this prize, the Seniors’ record in the second quarter earned for the class $20 toward their Washington fund. The other prize which we call the Good Citizenship Prize will be awarded at Commencement to the member of the graduating class who has been adjudged the best all-round school citizen during his high school career. CHIEF MANABOZHO Great was the excitement in S. H. S. on that memorable day when a real Indian chief appeared at school. The upper grades and the high school were summoned to assemble in the Auditorium where Chief Manabozho, of the Mohawks, lectured to us about Indian customs, sang some of his native songs, danced various war dances and folk dances. This event was sponsored by the Suffolk County Boy Scout organization. After Chief Manabozho, Field Executive Simmons of the Boy Scouts described the advantages of the organization and of the Scout Camps, thereby encouraging more boys to join the local troop. THE TRANSMISSION OF PICTURES BY WIRE For the past several years the Lecture Bureau of the New York Telephone Company has sent us each year a speaker to address the student body on various interesting topics in connection with the telephone and its uses. This year we had the pleasure of hearing Mr. P. B. Smith, who gave an entertaining and interesting stereopticon lecture on the transmission of pictures by wire. Mr. Smith explained the principles involved in the process and illustrated these by the use of slides. This process has been so much improved in the past few years that it is now possible and practical to send the image by wire almost without defects. THE LECTURE COURSE The Class of ’29 carried out the custom established several years ago by sponsoring a Lecture Course. Three entertainments were given, and while the Seniors did not derive much financial profit from the project, we feel that it was worth our effort and that the Course was appreciated by the public. The first entertainment was the operetta, The Gallant Soldier,” presented by the Terhune Light Opera Company, on November 2. The other two were the Hurley Entertainers, given on December 6th, and the well-known comedy team of Vernon Stone and F.lectra Platt, who gave the concluding number on February 6th. 13 THE SNUFF BOX CAPTAIN ROALD AMUNSDEN Captain Roald Amunsden, the famous Arctic and Antarctic explorer, was born at Smallenene, Norway, July 16, 1872. His father, Jens Amundsen, was a ship-owner and a sea captain. Amundsen must have inherited his love of adventure from his father, for one of the chief delights of his boyhood was to read stories of adventure and of exploration. The account of the exploits of Sir John Franklin, who had unsuccessfully tried to negotiate the Northwest Passage, especially interested him. Amundsen’s parents wanted him to become a doctor. Accordingly, he was sent to a private school in Oslo, and thence to a medical college. The medical profession, however, was distasteful to him, and he soon forsook this to enter the naval service of Norway. Amundsen was a man of great physique, without which his future exploits would have been impossible. Even as a boy he used to go whaling with his father and thus he built up a strength which grew to be invaluable to him. After serving several years in the navy, he grew restless as this life did not apparently furnish him with enough adventure. Consequently when the Belgian government sponsored an expedition to the Arctic in 1897 Amundsen resigned his commission to volunteer for duty with 14 THE SNUFF BOX this expedition. Early in 1897 the party set sail and reached Graham Land, a point north of the Arctic Circle. Here their ship became frozen in the ice and they were imprisoned for thirteen months, after which they managed to cut a way through the ice and escape to clear water. As soon as he again reached Norway, Amundsen undertook to organize on his own responsibility an expedition to navigate the Northwest Passage, a feat which had baffled all explorers up to 1854. He chartered a ship, the Gjoa,” organized a group of companions, and left Oswald on June 16, 1903. About two years later, the Gjoa” successfully traversed the Northwest Passage. After making many observations and compiling data in the North Polar Region, Amundsen made plans for a voyage to the Pole itself. About this time news reached him that Commander Peary of the United States Navy had reached the Pole. Disappointed that he could not be the first to reach the North Pole, Amundsen resolved to attempt to reach the South Pole. Amundsen s real plans had been kept secret, people generally believing that he was to start on another Arctic expedition. It was not until after he left port that the real goal was disclosed. Three rivals were also in the race for the South Pole, among them being Captain Robert Scott of Nova Scotia, who almost succeeded in reaching the Pole before Amundsen. Amundsen used dogs on his expedition, while Scott relied upon Manchurian ponies, which did not prove to be hardy enough. Reaching the Bay of Whales in 1911, Amundsen spent about a year before he was ready to make the final dash for the South Pole. Taking four companions with him, he left his base in October 1911 and reached his goal about December of the same year. To make sure that he had reached the true pole, he drew around his camp a circle with a radius of twenty kilometers. Scott reached there only thirty days later. Already nearly exhausted from the trip, his disappointment was so great that he apparently lost heart on his return trip and finally perished before again reaching his base. After his return to Norway, Amundsen spent several years of comparatively quiet life, during which time he lectured and wrote books about his expeditions. Among these was a book entitled The South Pole. Not contented however to lead an inactive life, he planned another trip to the Arctic regions under the auspices of the Norwegian Government when the World War broke out necessitating a postponement of the trip until 1918. Convinced that the most expeditious way of overcoming the rigors of Arctic travel was by the use of airplanes, he took two planes with him on board the ship Maude,” which had been chartered for the trip. For two whole years no word was received from the expedition when a wireless message was received in 1920 with the information that Amundsen had been picked up at Cordova. Alaska. After this adventure Amundsen spent about two years making preparations for another trip in the Maude.” The ship had been 15 THE SNUFF BOX equipped with radio apparatus and all latest scientific devices. Two airplanes were also included in the equipment. Amundsen established a base on the island of Spitzbergen and attempted to fly over the North Pole. He was absent from his base about a month, during which time nothing was heard from him. He finally returned on June 19 and reported that he had been delayed by a breakdown of the plane when about one hundred and fifty miles from the Pole. Convinced that a dirigible would be more adapted for polar flights than an airplane, he completed negotiations with the Italian government for the use of the Norge,” an Italian built airship. Associated with him in this last venture were Lincoln Ellsworth of New York, Ruser-Larsen, his navigator, and Commander Nobile, a representative of the Italian government, who operated the ship. The flight began at Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, where the Norge” had landed after its trip from Italy. After about seventy-two hours of flying, the party reached Teller, Alaska, after having flown over the Pole. Unfortunately ill-feeling had crept in to disturb the harmony of his party. Amundsen and Nobile accused each other of trying to usurp the honor and glory of the flight. Eventually the Italian government and Mussolini became involved in the dispute and the matter was finally referred to the Norwegian Aero Club for settlement. The Club decided that Nobile should receive the credit. Amundsen retaliated by withdrawing from the Club as well as from other associations to which he had belonged and declared that this had been the last trip he would ever take. About two years later Nobile himself organized another expedition which was to be made on the Italian dirigible Italia.” The Italia” came to grief and was badly wrecked in the polar area. When word of the disaster reached civilization, rescue parties were organized. Amundsen, with his usual sportsman-like attitude, was among the first to volunteer. Mussolini officially refused Amundsen’s offer, but Amundsen, feeling that he was probably as familiar with Arctic conditions as anyone, organized a relief party of his own to set out in a French plane. Nothing has ever been heard of him or his crew since. Most of Nobile’s party were eventually rescued by a Russian ship, but after a diligent and thorough search, no trace of Amundsen was ever found. Amundsen was fifty-six years old when he set out to the rescue of Nobile. His record of exploration is one of the most noteworthy that has ever been achieved. The first to negotiate the Northwest Passage, discoverer of the South Pole, and the only man who has ever seen both Poles, his contribution to the sciences makes his place in history secure. T. L. B. ’29 16 THE SNUFF BOX BOULDER DAM Captain Hernando de Alarcon set forth upon the waters of the Gulf of California in 1540 in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola. He never found the Seven Cities, but in his course, he discovered a great river known today as the Colorado. This untamed river has been the natural enemy of man. The Colorado is an ever increasing flood menace and a notorious waster of its precious cargo of water, so desperately needed in the region through which it passes. In recent years the Federal Government has turned its attention to the Colorado. A careful and thorough survey of this has been completed by the Department of the Interior, and from this survey there has been evolved a definite and complete plan known as the Boulder Dam Project, whereby this growing flood menace may be transformed into a great natural resource. The Colorado River rises in the high mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. It flows through these states and the states of Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California, forming part of the boundary between Arizona and Nevada, and between Arizona and California. Flowing some fifty miles through Mexico, it discharges into the Gulf of California. The rim of the upper drainage basin of the river is composed of high mountain ranges, the lower portion of the basin being composed of hot arid plains, while the central portion consists of a high plateau, through which the river runs for hundreds of miles in a deep and narrow canyon. The topography of the country is such that one section through which the Colorado River flows is threatened in times of high water by serious floods, while another section is subject to long periods of droughts. The engineers who have investigated these sections have agreed that a dam across the Colorado will correct both of these conditions as well as provide a much needed domestic water supply for cities on the Pacific Coast. It will also improve navigation, safeguard interstate commerce and protect Government property. One of the sections of the Colorado basin in which drought conditions prevail throughout most of the year is known as Imperial Valley. This valley lies in the southeasterly portion of California. On the south it is bounded by the Mexican line; its easterly edge being about forty miles west of the Colorado River. Centuries ago Imperial Valley was the northerly end of the Gulf of California, but the tremendous quantities of silt carried by the river gradually built a great delta across the gulf. Thus Imperial Valley lies like a great saucer with the Colorado running along its rim. The valley secures its sole water supply from the Colorado River by means of a canal which starts from the river just above the boundary and runs thence for many miles through Mexico before re-entering the United States. Imperial Valley has a population of 65,000 people, six well-built, incorporated cities, over 400,000 acres of cultivated farms, and property values of over 17 THE SNUFF BOX 100,000,000. This valley during May, June and July of each year is threatened by destruction by flood and in September and October is threatened by drought. Part of the Boulder Dam project is concerned with the construction of a canal entirely on United States soil. Originally, in order to avoid prohibitive cost of construction, the canal which now provides a water supply for Imperial Valley was built on the United States side of the boundary line, but passing immediately into the Republic of Mexico, through which it runs for a distance of sixty miles before recrossing the international boundary. The seriousness of the situation may be realized by the fact that, if the supply of water delivered by this canal were interfered with for only a few days, Imperial Valley would not only be faced with financial ruin from the destruction of all crops, but the people themselves would have to move from the valley as no other source of water is available, even for drinking purposes. Under the plan developed for the canal, it was proposed to divert the water at Laguna Dam, located some twelve miles above the city of Yuna. This diversion and grade of canal would be so constructed that some 500,000 acres of additional land may eventually be placed under cultivation. This necessitates that the canal be considerably larger than the present canal which passes through Mexico. The canal will not only guarantee a water supply to Imperial Valley, but will, in conjunction with Boulder Canyon reservoir, make it possible for the American land owners in Mexico to develop a million acres of land below the border without affecting land owners in the United States. The total cost of the entire project has been estimated to be about 125,000,000, of which 41,500,000 will be expended for the dam itself, 31,000,000 for the canal, and 31,500,000 for the water power development. Other expenses of construction, including interest during the development of the project, will bring the total bill to the amount stated above, which has been appropriated. Because the Colorado River is an interstate and international stream, and since the proposed site of Boulder Dam is on the boundary between Arizona and Nevada, thereby affecting the interests of more than one state, the Federal Government is the logical agney to undertake this project. Federal Government officials, whose duties have brought them into a close study of the Colorado River problem, were unanimous in their conclusion that immediate legislative steps should be taken to curb the flood-mad waters of the great river. Every phase of the problem has been surveyed, investigated, and considered most thoroughly by the nation’s most competent authorities. These authorities agreed that the time for action had arrived—action by Congress that will accomplish the Conquest of the Colorado River. M. E. H. ’29 18 THE SNUFF BOX FRIVOLITY AND FATE For generations the Scranton family had considered frivolity ill becoming to a woman. All of the sisters of the Reverend Mr. Scranton had been serious minded—pioneer women, physicians, women collegians, missionaries, and the like. Now the Reverend Mr. Scranton and his wife were rejoicing over the fact that already three angelic daughters had lived up to the family tradition. Ruth, the eldest, had become a missionary; Helen, a prominent woman suffragist; and Pauline, a professor of science in a large western college. The fourth daughter, Rosalind, who was now attending Ardsley College, was the youngest of the four girls and the pride of both father and mother. Surely she would have some great work planned, which would undoubtedly surpass all the rest. Re. and Mrs. Scranton had not seen Rosalind for nearly a whole year as she had spent both the Christmas and the Spring vacations at the home of her room-mate, Angela Smythe. The month of June, the month when school would close, could not fly fast enough for Rev. and Mrs. Scranton, so great were their anticipations to have with them once more their beloved daughter. For several months Mrs. Scranton had been making plans for their daughter’s home-coming—the beneficial things she could do during the summer months, the Sunday School class that she could take charge of. Then, too, arrangements were being made whereby Rosalind should continue some of her missionary work. At last, that long-anticipated day of days arrived. Barely had the train come to a stop alongside the little station when a slip of a girl not more than twenty-two bounded gleefully from the steps of the train into the arms of an anxious mother and father. Surely it was as she had always done, but still, Rosalind had changed so in appearance that everything seemed radically different. She seemed to have stepped from a fashion plate. Her smart tailored ensemble, the nifty little hat, and the neatly shod feet, all seemed to radiate worldliness. How Rosalind had planned and dreamed about the homecoming and the meeting of her old school chums. How she had thrilled at the thought of creating a sensation in town! Now she was home—and two solid months of recreation before her. Needless to say, the Scrantons were horribly shocked at their daughter’s frivolity and immediately took prompt counsel together concerning the possibilities of her reformation. After you have spoken to Rosalind regarding her future purpose in life,’’ said Mrs. Scranton, I shall appeal to her about her dress. She has steadfastly refused to teach the Sunday School class and seems to take no interest whatsoever in our missionary work. I believe that it has been very unwise for us to allow her to spend her vacations away from home, and also to attend to the buying of her clothes, but I had actually believed that now was the best time for her to be independent 19 THE SNUFF BOX and to learn thrift. These were the only methods I could think of. What shall I do?” At this the Reverend Mr. Scranton grumbled, Bring her to me.” Rosalind floated into the room, a vision of pink satin and marabou. Your father wishes to speak with you, Rosalind.” I wish you would call me Ross. All the girls at school call me that,” remarked Rosalind, nervously twisting her foot about the leg of the table. After Mr. Scranton had spent several minutes lecturing on the vulgarity of using nicknames, he suddenly asked, Rosalind, what do you intend to do? What career attracts you?” At this point Rosalind looked up and laughed, Me! Career! Why I’ve never even thought about it, and besides I couldn’t do anything. Angela and I sat up all night cramming for four nights in succession. Oh, we had an awful time to keep awake—had to drink oceans of black coffee and I had to have wet towels around my head.’ Rosalind,” cried Mrs. Scranton, totally shocked. Well, that’s the way wc always have to cram for exams,” protested Rosalind in a hurt voice. By this time Mr. Scranton had decided to let the matter drop for the moment. Well, Rosalind,” continued Mrs. Scranton, what do you intend to do all summer to amuse yourself?” Why,” burst out Rosalind, aren’t there any interesting men in o town r Men!” groaned the male parent, while Rosalind carried her mother off to teach her how to do her hair properly.” While thus pleasantly occupied, she learned that two young ministers, who had come to spend the summer months at the hotel, and who were great friends of her mother, would like very much to meet her. It was preposterous. She hated all ministers except her father. She wouldn’t even see them and if she did, she wouldn’t treat them decently. A week later Rosalind was seen seated among a group of laughing young people on the veranda of Pine View Hotel, overlooking Lake Luzerne. Her shrill voice could be heard above all the rest and her words were distinctly heard by the group of young men who were standing at the end of the veranda. Anyway, I can’t stand a minister. They never do anything heroic and they are about as interesting and cheerful as Alden’s 'Study of Death’.” At this the group in which Rosalind was the center of attraction broke into laughter, and the group of men at the end of the veranda slowly sauntered toward the tennis court. In several days the swimming match which had brought Rosalind and her friends to Pine View Hotel was to take place. On the day preceding the great event, Rosalind awoke early and after hastily don- 20 THE SNUFF BOX ning her bathing suit, she made for the beach for her morning duck. It seemed to Rosalind that the weather was much colder than usual, but after running for about a quarter of a mile, she soon forgot the chilliness of the air, and upon reaching the pier, she dove into the water. Her plans were to swim from the pier to the dock at which the steamboats landed, a distance of about a mile. Rosalind was quickly brought back to her senses, however, on striking the cold water. At first she began splashing vigorously in hope of getting warmed up, but in spite of all muscular gymnastics, she felt the chill of the water gradually penetrate her body. It was then that she made the hasty decision to turn back and reach the pier before her limbs became numb. Little by little she was making the distance, but the pier was still a considerable distance away, and she was experiencing most extraordinary sensations. Her arms and legs began to stiffen, and before she could think, her movements had ceased altogether and she was frantically calling for help. Then things became black and she knew no more. When Rosalind recovered consciousness, she was lying on a couch in the bath-house. A young man’s anxious face was bent toward hers, and as Rosalind opened her eyes, the stranger inquired, How do you feel now, Miss - er -?” I guess I wouldn’t have been here if it hadn’t been for you,” replied Rosalind. I’m afraid you wouldn’t, child. I’m mighty glad I happened around. I was just going swimming myself and, as I came down to the pier, I saw you struggling.” Oh, I’m so glad that you happened around instead some of the girls. It seems so much more heroic to be saved by a man. Are you a life saver?” At this the hero laughed heartily and answered, Something of the sort.” During the days following this incident, Rosalind was seen most of the time in the company of her hero, instead of the little group to whom she had formerly been attached. The letter which Mr. Scranton and his wife received, telling them when Rosalind was coming home, also contained the following: No doubt you will both be surprised as much as myself when I tell you that my hero is the Reverend John Swift. I was unable to find out all of his name until after I had consented to marry him. He was afraid that I would change my mind if I knew, but anyway I would have married him even if I had known the Reverend was attached. I guess that all of dad’s brethren aren’t so bad after all. Your frivolous daughter, 21 Rosalind” THE SNUFF BOX AN ACT OF HEROISM The waves were dashing against the rocks, and there was a high wind. The people of a little town near Cape H— were on the shore. There had been a shipwreck, and the men of the Coast Guard were doing their utmost to launch a small boat in a brave attempt to rescue the unfortunate people on the ship. It seemed to those on the shore that the boat had been swallowed by the sea again and again, but each time it would rise dominantly to the top of the wave and the men would be seen bravely struggling to reach the ship. At last, with extreme difficulty, the task was accomplished. Marette and her dog, Tokon, watched the little boat. At times, when it was on the point of capsizing, Marette would gasp and shudder. Her sister was to come on this boat that was on the rocks, and she was anxious that she should be saved. The boat came in three times to bring the people ashore, but the girl did not see her sister. Are you sure there is no one else on the ship?” she asked one of the Coast Guard men. Pretty sure, miss,” he replied; were you looking for some one?” Melisse, my sister, was supposed to be on the boat. Oh! don’t tell me you didn’t find her!” ttr ’ I am sorry — A faint call for help was heard above the wind, as it abated a little, Oh! maybe that’s she. Go get her! Go get her for me, please!” begged Marette. The men tried in vain to launch the boat. The waves were very high now, and the wind was again raging furiously. A figure could be seen struggling in the cruel waves. Tokon! Tokon! See! Look in the water. Bring her to me!” cried Marette, frantically tugging at his collar and trying to drag him to the water’s edge, where, at last, after a little pulling, he arrived. The girl knelt beside the dog, and pointing toward the object, encouraged him to do as she had commanded. When Tokon saw the figure, with an eager whine, he immediately sprang from her side and plunged into the waves. After many struggles he reached the figure just as it went down, but when it came up, the dog caught its dress in his mouth and swam toward shore. The people yelled and frantically jostled one another to get to the edge of the water where the dog would come in. Many times Marette thought that the dog and his burden were gone, but Tokon would rise again with Melisse after a wave had swallowed them. The crowd waited breathlessly—no longer yelling. Bit by bit the dog fought his way until at last he reached shore with the girl, where 22 THE SNUFF BOX he dropped, panting and fatigued. Marette knelt beside him, and taking his wet head in her arms, she hugged him tightly, while he tried vainly to lick the hand of his beloved mistress. Many honors were showered upon the brave dog, who so gallantly saved the life of Melisse, and the people of the village still take delight in relating the glorious tale. L. S. '31. THE WOODS IN WINTER It is cold, and the gray murkiness of the hour before dawn makes it all the more dreary. Behind the tall and silent ghost-like forms that seem to be reaching clammy fingers out to snatch anything that should come within their grasp, looms a white figure of immense proportions. This figure rises majestically above the smaller forms and its head is enveloped in a mist. Dawn is coming. Slowly the ghostly bodies take shape. Along the horizon, on each side of the giant-like figure, the sun god paints his glorious colors. And look! There is the sun god’s chariot rising. At first a speck of it is seen, but little by little it climbs the sky until it is resting on the peak of the great figure—and lo! the ghost-like figures become many snow covered trees of a forest, and the huge form turns into a white mountain. The trees seem to welcome Apollo’s awakening, for their tall forms sparkle like tiny gems and the icicles shine like diamonds. If the forest could give voice to its gladness, I think a tinkle of icicles and a tiny tinkle of fairy bells could be heard. The mountain itself is sparkling and seems to look befittingly enough for the honor of having the sun god rest on its white-capped summit. L. W. S. ’31 NO USE SIGHIN’ No use frettin’ when exams come ’round, No use grievin’ when the teachers frown, No use sighin’ when there’s work to do, No use wailin’ when you’re blue.

W. ’30 23 THE SNUFF BOX THE SNUFF BOX DIARY ON THE WASHINGTON TRIP Tuesday, April 2 At last we’re here! Tired but happy we’ve reached Washington around which most of our thoughts have centered for some months. What a thrill our first view of the Capitol, gleaming magically in the distance gave us as we pulled into the station. After leaving the train at the Union Station (somewhat larger and more impressive than the one at Southold) we were met and piloted to our hotel, the Hamilton, where we are very comfortable. What appetites we had acquired after a day’s travel! Great quantities of food were necessary to satisfy us that first evening. After dinner we went to the Congressional Library where we feasted our eyes upon some of the many beautiful and historic objects; the Declaration of Independence among them, encased in its marble shrine. Oh yes, on the way to Washington, we stopped in Philadelphia, where we enjoyed a sight-seeing trip around the city. We saw many things of interest, including the Liberty Bell, and the meeting place of the first Continental Congress. And now for some sleep, if I can only persuade my niosy room- 25 THE SNUFF BOX mates that Science is right—that sleep is not only enjoyable, but necessary. Wednesday, April 3. In spite of sleepy protests, we were ready for the first sight-seeing trip at 8:30. It seems as if we traveled every street in Washington from end to end. Then we went to Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The next stop was at the Lincoln Memorial, where our stay was lengthened by a wait for some of the stragglers, who under the spell of the spring-like day, had wandered off. After satisfying our appetites and resting our weary legs a bit, we were hustled to the dock to get a boat down the Potomac to Mount Vernon. Here we explored the spacious grounds, peeked in here and there, and had our pictures taken to prove that we’d been there. The trip back on the river was very beautiful, although the peaceful calm was somewhat disturbed by Starry’s snores, Alice’s chatter, and Possum’s tales of his conquests among fair damsels. Nevertheless we reached the Hamilton in time for food before the theatre. Thursday, April 4 Another bus ride. Today we saw the most important public buildings; the new National Museum, with its relics and curios; the Bureau of Engraving, where they print millions of dollars with no fuss at all; the Pan-American Building, with its beautiful nooks; the Capitol, with its interminable corridors to aggravate the blisters made by my new shoes; the White House; the Treasury Building, and others. One of our biggest thrills came when we saw L.indy s plane in the Smithsonian. Loath as we were to leave, we were reminded that bus and dinner wait for no man. Thursday afternoon We had a nice choice of attractions, but most of us went to the Franciscan Monastery, a trip we wouldn't have missed for anything. The beauty and quiet that prevailed in the grounds was most welcome and restful. Our only disappointment came when we learned that the beautiful music emanating from the organ was made by the tuner. Friday, April 5, a. in. We’re getting more acclimated. Starry’s appetite is still unabated. Possum’s air of man about town” is becoming more natural. Milt’s surliness is disappearing. Art, our hero, is as debonair as ever, and the rest have taken on a cosmopolitan complex. Our first trip was to the Washington Monument. The lift took us up in short time, and we walked down the 900 steps in the shaft. The Red Cross Building and the Corcoran Art Gallery completed our wanderings for the morning. 26 THE SNUFF BOX Friday, p. m. Four of our members took the air” and viewed Washington from the clouds. The rest were stirred into belated activities shopping, postcard writing, and the like. Our trip to the Great Falls of the Potomac proved to be another interesting expedition. One more night and then home! Saturday, April 6 Back to Southold after a tedious journey. Now that we’re back, it’s almost like a dream. But tired as we are, how we would like to repeat the trip! The Class of ’29 will never forget its Washington Trip and the wonderful sights of that city. Our thanks to Miss Malone and to Mr. Blodgett! A SHAKESPERIAN DREAM To be, or not to be, that is the question!” Like Hamlet, I once made the suggestion. As out I walked, I met a dog And raised my arm to strike it; When I heard a voice exclaiming, Hold!” I answered, As You Like It.” As on I walked, a loving pair I met; I soon discovered it was Romeo and Juliet.” Two Gentlemen from Verona” dressed in their best Caught a good drenching out in A tempest.” They sat by my fire, hung their coats on a nail, While I related to them A Winter’s Tale.” They stayed until the Twelfth Night,” Until the storm had ceased its terrors; They made Much Ado About Nothing,” Which proved A Comedy of Errors.” Then came Othello” and Iago,” too, Which brought to my mind the Taming of the Shrew Like Richard, the Third,” I awoke, And strange everything did seem; At last I realized my situation— It was only A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” 27 THE SNUFF BOX WHO’S WHO IN 1945 AKSCIN, ADELAIDE Politician Born, Bay View, N.

(Signed) THE SENIOR CLASS In Witness Whereof, we have here set our hand and seal Adelle Payne Francis Thompson XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI XXII XXIII XXIV XXV XXVI 31 THE SNUFF BOX To me has been given the task of writing our Class History, and I assure you it will require much heavy thinking on my part to decide just what things should be included and which things were better— forgotten—at least in public! As I look back, we must have been very much like every other Freshman Class—meek, retiring and industriously engaged in our studies. We came out of our shell long enough to have a class meeting and from our twenty members we elected Helen Dickerson, president; Alice Downs, vice president; Evelyn Van Wyck, secretary; and Francis Thompson, treasurer (he had such taking ways). We also chose and purchased class pins, thereby completing our business worries of the year in our spurt of ambition. When June came we were still in a daze of decorum. Through our untiring efforts we ceased to be Freshmen and became Sophomores. As Sophomores we branched out a bit. A few ambitious classmates aspired to the limelight in athletics and drama, but the limelight was pretty well monopolized by bulky Juniors and Seniors. We covered ourselves with neither mud nor glory in either case. A few habits which were later to become characteristics of this class began to bud at the end of the year. We gave a picnic to the Seniors (with the kind help of the Juniors’ purses). It was entirely the Seniors’ fault if they hadn’t enough to eat, for we furnished plenty. In September, 1927, we continued our Education—as Juniors. Alice, Helen, Possum,” and Starry” played important parts in the Senior play, thereby winning a few laurels for our class. We chose our class colors and flower, and having discovered our extraordinarily good taste, two weeks later the Seniors calmly appropriated them. And we, being Juniors, were forced to choose new ones. In the annual track meet at Patchogue, the laurels for the school were won by three representatives, two of whom were Starry” and Ernie” from our class. Our inferiority complex was rapidly fading! Three more outstanding events occurred this year. First, we purchased our class rings; second, we had a food sale to earn the necessary 32 THE SNUFF BOX money to purchase the Senior banner; and third, we were tendered a picnic by the Sophomores which would have been more successful had they realized what huge appetites we carried with us. As Seniors in 1928, our activities resembled the busy bee’s. Our first aim after the successful completion of our studies in order to graduate, was to earn money enough to get to Washington. • We elected new officers with Mary Heckman as president and Mil-ton Folts vice president; Alice Downs, secretary; and Julia McCaffery, treasurer. Being a brilliant class, we had no difficulty in thinking of ways to earn money. Following in the footsteps of other Senior Classes, we sold candy during the noon hour. Then we started a new custom, that of conducting suppers. Our two attempts were very satisfactory financially and, we trust, were enjoyed by the diners. 1 he three numbers of the Lyceum Course were presented by the Terhune Light Opera Company, The Hurley Entertainers, and Platt and Stone, vaudeville. The P. T. A. offered the Seniors two dollars for every average of 85 per cent, or above in any study. On this we netted 20 which was a welcome addition to the Washington fund. As Easter vacation drew near, we counted our money and joyfully discovered we had enough, not only for our expenses from New York to Washington, but also enough for our expenses from Southold to New York. But alas, the pence remaining in the class treasury soon dwindled to a negative quantity on our return from Washington when we realized that if we wished to display publicly a class banner—well, the banner was ours for the paying. Undaunted, and thanks to none other than Pauline Albertson, a design was made and finally incorporated in a banner which now adorns the walls of the Auditorium for posterity to view with envy. In May we had our pictures taken at Patchogue and made a picnic out of it. It was our own idea, but it must have leaked out somewhere for the Juniors proceeded to follow suit. If it had simply ended by their aping us by having a picnic, we would not have cared, but they followed us to our picnic ground, sampled our food, found it good, and proceeded to camp alongside us and partake of it in large quantities, thereby cutting our rations down considerably. The younger generation is becoming so officious! Starry carried off the honors at the Boys’ Track Meet in May, being the only one to win any points for S. H. S. Judging by the rate Starry leaps over hurdles and Art dashes around bases, our Class Motto should be Haste, but no waste.” June 24th saw the eleven remaining students of the Class of 1929 graduating. Although we have tried to distinguish ourselves from other classes, we find that when the time actually comes to leave school, we all detect an ache in our hearts at the parting of ways which graduation surely means. H. E. D. ’29 33 THE SNUFF BOX ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS Now, as the time draws near when we shall have to be separated from you, it is with great reluctance that we leave our many responsibilities to such a giggling, innocent young class of Juniors. We have carefully observed your conduct during the past year and have found many faults which need correcting in order that you may follow in our model footsteps. It is possible that you may overcome some of these faults by diligent effort, but we are certain that you, at best, can never reach the intellectual plane of the illustrious Class of 1929. We suggest, first, Kathleen Meredith, that you muffle your giggle and concentrate a little more on your class work with less day-dreaming. Then one of your greatest faults will be conquered. Marie, a little less of that incessant and inconsistent giggling on your part would be to your credit, too. Get to work NOW, for he who waits to do a great deal at once never does anything. Jean, you’ve been so quiet (?) that we haven’t noticed many of your faults. Although you do good work in school, you could do more in study periods if you would only remember that children should be seen and not heard. And when he spake, his voice was like a wolf’s.” Frank, are you trying to gain a monopoly on the classroom by scaring people out? Try to make your voice a wee bit sweeter and then the girls won’t be so afraid of you. Bud, your sarcasm gets monotonous. Although some of it is very original, it would be better unsaid. You’re getting to be a bold, bad man and you will have to tone down a great deal before you can become a serious Senior. We all know it is a hard task to get to school on time in the morning and a still harder one to keep awake if we had only a few hours’ sleep the night before. Now, Possum! Early to bed and early to rise.” Practise this and you will be more at ease during those first few periods. Bob, if you would take your walking exercise before school, rather than in school, and practise the motto, Speak only when spoken to,” you would get out before six o’clock. Adelle, it’s just too bad we Seniors can’t appreciate your nonsense. For goodness sake, don’t try to make wise cracks while attempting to answer questions; just answer them the way you think they should be and it will be funny enough. Eileen, you will have to be in school at least three days a week next year. You might miss something. There is a certain amount of work to be done in order to obtain fifteen units, so a little less time out” for you. Mary, we’d advise you not to write letters and use them for bookmarks. They’re apt to be placed on the bulletin board. You’ll have 34 THE SNUFF BOX to settle down and not bother (?) your cousin if you expect to attain the heights. Leonie, you’re getting noisier. Don’t overdo it for Seniors are supposed to be extremely dignified. If you feel a giggle coming, laugh up your sleeve and one of your outstanding faults will be hidden. Horace, wisecracking is not one of your strong points, you know, so concentrate on your work and you will gain great renown some day. But you’ll have to learn to bear up under the gazes of the fairer sex. Hide those blushes! Tut, your work is falling down, and if you are going to pick it up you 11 have to step on it.” Show us a little speed in school as well as you show it outside. We’ve seen you tearing around in that Ford. And now, dear Juniors, it behooves you to take this advice. It has been given in a well meaning and friendly manner, so please take it as such and you will be worthy of the name, Class of 1930 of Southold High School. You are welcome. “THE DUST OF THE ROAD” A very delightful one-act play, The Dust of the Road,” was presented by members of the Senior Class at the assembly held on the morning of December 21. The roles for this interesting little melodrama were ably portrayed by Alice Downs, Francis Thompson, Milton Folts and Jerome Grattan. We are proud to state also that a second performance was given in the Methodist Church at Cutchogue. Art—What do you think was the biggest thing you saw in Washington? Starry—My ice cream bill. Miss Hall—(in Physics class) Define Density” Alice. Alice—I know, but I can’t find the words to explain it. Miss Hall—A very good example. Sit down. Possum—Well, I answered a question in History today. Starry—You did! What answer did you give? Possum—Present. Mrs. A.—So your son studies foreign languages in the school he attends. Mrs. B.—Oh, yes indeed! Johnny, say 'How do you do’ in Algebra. 35 THE SNUFF BOX THE SNUFF BOX JUNIOR HISTORY In September 1926, the halls of old S. H. S. trembled with the coming of the Freshman Glass, for we've been noted for our tumultuousness. However, the noise subsided after a few months for our spirits were dampened by a few rules. Our two outstanding achievements in that distant and thoroughly to be forgotten year were to buy class pins and elect officers. These were president, Robert Gagen; vice president, Jean Wells; secretary, Marie Doherty; treasurer, Walter Williams. After that first meeting, we settled back to entertain the upperclassmen, which we certainly succeeded in doing. June found us getting through those hateful Regents Exams by the skin of our teeth, so to speak, into our Sophomore year. Sophomores! We were full of enthusiasm and ambition, and we proceeded to work with a will. Hard study and little play constituted our second year. We did, however, come out of this stupefaction to devote ourselves to that time-honored custom of giving the Seniors a picnic. If they didn’t enjoy themselves, it wasn’t our fault, for we had plenty to eat. That was the climax of our Sophomore activities. Now we’re Jolly Juniors, and what a year! We’ve been by no means dormant, for we’ve shown our versatility by having a number of our members on the basketball and the baseball teams. After Easter vacation, which terminated the money-making activities of the Seniors, we, prompted by our knowledge that the early bird catches the worm,” 37 THE SNUFF BOX £ cn Uiha't ha-f he done I uJorl'h wh i te I to ge t here? Crouching VENUs place (fecogn! ® him ? xie tiwo to e her- 3 ALL Kneeiincj Ml HTlE MIGHT 3 Kinds of LOOoJ ( , -SoLi d ! THE SNUFF BOX devoted ourselves to the somewhat laborious task of fattening the class exchequer. After we had gathered enough money to buy a banner to present to the Seniors, we discovered, much to our delight, that they had bought one of their own. Nevertheless, we clung tenaciously to our purpose of painlessly extracting money from the unsuspecting public by means of food sales and similar activities. In our last great financial effort of the year, namely, the Junior Prom, the proceeds were minus. However, we had an enjoyable, if somewhat laborious, time decorating the Auditorium. So here we are at the termination of three high school years, starting off with high hopes and best intentions for a spectacular Senior year. We sincerely hope to make the Class of ’30 a source of pride and joy to Southold High School. REPLY TO THE SENIORS After careful study of your uncalled-for words of advice (as you term them) O worthy Seniors, we are greatly surprised at you. But then we did not expect much of you. Our expectations are fully realized. Even more so than we expected. It seems that you turned all your attention to inconsequential matters and gave us nothing which could benefit us. This is just like you, however, so we should not complain. Your remarks entirely concerned themselves with our faults. Therefore, as you judged us, so shall we judge you. Your virtues are very easily overlooked, anyway, as they are few. We modestly believe that this is not true of our class. Adelaide Akscin, what’s your big idea in rushing to Riverhead whenever you get a chance? We wonder! We should think that by this time you’d know that school is the place to study and not to entertain all your classmates. Therese Bauer, if you ever caused as much excitement in high school as you did in Washington, the teachers would have something to say. It’s just as well you don’t, because we know how much disturbance a little thing like you can make. Mary Heckman, why do you take it upon yourself to hold the dignity of the whole class? Loosen up a little and give the rest a little of it. It wouldn’t hurt them one bit and you’d never miss what little you could give them. Helen Dickerson, just because you’re called to the office now and then doesn’t say that you know how to run things any better than anyone else. Give someone else a chance to say something once in a while, even though everyone doesn’t like to talk as much as you do. Arthur Fanning, don’t be so good-natured. Someday you’ll wake up and realize how others benefit by this weakness of yours. Dash into it, Romeo! Alice Downs, for four whole years we’ve waited to see you grow up 39 THE SNUFF BOX and we haven’t seen any signs of it yet. When you decide to put away your childish things,” let us know. We’re waiting anxiously to see you change. Frances Gordon, you’re much too noisy. Since you’ve been told so . many times, we should think you'd at least try to control yourself. Don’t you know that it isn’t at all ladylike to try to manage the Boys’ Baseball Team? Milton Folts, you waste altogether too much time talking to the girls. Let us tell you right now it’s not going to get you far in the undertaking job so you’d better make up your mind to quit now. Julia McCaffery, don’t you know that you’re much too quiet for a Senior? Yes, we believe that most of them say too much, but if you don’t say more than you do now, you certainly will never cause much disturbance. Stanley Krukowski, this High School course isn’t as easy as you think. It’s just about time you forgot about all your female admirers and put more time on your work. You’d really accomplish a lot more, Starry. Irene McKeon, why do you insist upon always being in such a rush? You should remember that haste makes waste”, Irene. You think you’re fooling us by speaking softly, but you’re not—we know how much noise you can make outside of school. THE HIGH SCHOOL STAIR (By a Junior) On the first step as Freshmen We thought it only fair That we let our upper classmen Pass us on this stair. One step higher to Sophomores, And it was just the same; There was one less class to pass us But they were far from tame. On the third step as Juniors (Those Seniors were hard to compel!) We’ve finally survived another year, But how we cannot tell. Next year we’ll be on the top step, And a hard climb it has been. But, wait ’til next year when we show you The best Seniors you’ve ever seen! J. W. ’30 40 THE SNUFF BOX A JUNIOR'S OPINION OF HIGH SCHOOL (With Apologies to Shakespeare) All High School’s a stage And all the boys and girls merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, One pupil in his time plays several parts, His acts being four ages: At first the Freshman, Sighing and sulking o’er his new school books. And then the Sophomore with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like a snail, Unwillingly to school. And then the Junior, Full of wise saws and with a little experience, Telling the Sophomores of their past coincidences. The last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history Is the worthy Seniorship, with all its dignity, Too proud, too frank, too ruling, wrong in everything. J. W. ’30.

We lost no time in choosing our class officers, with Jerome Grattan as president; Muriel Young, vice president; Norah McCaffery, secretary; and Francis Strasser, treasurer. The first part of the Freshman year was spent becoming used to being High School students and also learning not to resent the patronizing airs of the upper classmen. Before the Christmas vacation, we were proud possessors of class pins. In June we gave a farewell party to Miss Aston at Westhampton Beach. After various trials, we succeeded in getting matches to start a fire and proceeded to spend a few enjoyable hours eating and swimming, and having a good time in general. At the beginning of our second year, we plunged into an orgy of social life which helped to vary the monotony of school and studies. We celebrated our first month as Sophomores by having a picnic at Nassau Point. We rode over in Kenneth’s truck, and those who survived enjoyed the eats so much that a walk almost around the Point was necessary to restore us to normal. In October we had a Hallowe’en Party at Jerome’s house, where the games and the eats were enjoyed by all. The biting November air inspired us with a desire to walk, which we gratified by a hike to the Sound. After a picnic supper, Kenneth’s truck transported us to Greenport to the movies. In December the girls gave a Leap Year Party at the Universalist Parish House. Supper, games and dancing formed the program for the evening. The music was furnished by a two-piece orchestra with Billy Williams at the piano and Howard Terry as drummer. Our activities ceased for a time but came to life in May, when we 45 THE SNUFF BOX went on a picnic to South Harbor. The entertainer of the evening was Kenneth, who distinguished himself as a tight-rope walker. Following the feed, Ged’s chariot took us all to Riverhead to the movies. Our Class, with the help of the Juniors, gave the Seniors their annual picnic in June. As this goes to press, we are about to bring our Sophomore year to a successful close with a final gathering in the form of a picnic. THE SOPHOMORES’ CLASS DREAM A fish there was in Bering Sea, And he was a terrible sight to see. The Freshies had spied him first of all, But there had come up such a terrible squall That they said they couldn’t catch him then, But we noticed they didn’t try again. The Juniors would catch him with no fuss at all. But alas! Pride comes before a fall; As they made ready their enormous hook To catch the fish of that big brook, It was discovered just too late That they’d forgotten to bring any bait. The Sophs decided ’twas time they tried To catch this fish the Freshies had spied; So when they found wind and tide were right, And they thought the fish would surely bite, They all set out, with a parting cheer From the Seniors and Freshies standing near. Over the sparkling ice they sped, On the well-built, swiftly-gliding sled. Oh! what fun ’twould surely be To catch this fish in Bering Sea! Why didn’t somebody bring a gun? If our hooks should fail, we’ll regret wc’vc come.” But when they came to the shore of the Sea, And flung their hooks amidst much glee, That wise old fish stayed far from shore And couldn’t be seen for an hour or more. Then a freckle-nosed lad with a bright blue eye Decided he’d sing, so we all said Aye.” As the deep nasal tones floated over the wave, The fish being charmed, and getting brave, Came toward us. Out went hook and line— But alas! just then we awoke to find It was only a dream of the Sophomore kind. 46 THE SNUFF BOX FRESHMAN CLASS THE SNUFF BOX FRESHMEN NOTES On September 4th, 1928, a class of thirty trembling youngsters entered the doors of S. H. S. Who were they? Why, the Freshman Class, of course, and although we were pretty green as we stumbled through the halls to the Assembly Room, some of our verdancy has worn off. We held our first meeting on September 25, and elected Billy” Williams, Rensselaer Terry, Roberta Kollmer and Pauline Albertson as class officers for our first year. Pauline has charge of the checkbook and so far has not been overwhelmed with her duties. With customary precision, we purchased the freshman insignia — otherwise known as class pins. With the passing of time came the advent of courage, so we planned a Thanksgiving Party. Came Thanksgiving, and we had to postpone the party. However, we had it in December at the Universalist Parish House. Our time, during the past year, has not been devoted entirely to educational purposes; for several of our members played basketball and baseball. One of our illustrious members, George Worth, catches for the victorious varsity. And still others were on the track team. Maybe we’re not proud of these boys! Now, at the close of our first high school year, we are looking forward to the field of Sophomoristry. As we look back, it is hard for us to understand how S. H. S. ever existed without our class, but anyway, now we can cast aside the name of Frosh, for we are Sophomores! ADVICE TO FRESHIES OF THE FUTURE This year is almost ended; Our Freshman year is almost done; So here’s our advice to future Freshies” Who in High School expect much fun. ’Tis the one that works hard that is winner Not the one who loves to fool; And although we’ve tormented our teachers, It isn’t wise in this school. Don’t high-hat upper classmen, And don’t think you know it all; For according to the old adage, Pride goeth before a fall.” Take this advice and heed it, For it comes from someone who knows well. Remember experience is the best teacher” And from it we learn more than books tell! E. M. M. ’32. 49 THE SNUFF BOX Junior H. S. ATHLETIC CLUB NOTES The Athletic Club, which is composed of boys and girls of the Seventh and Eighth Grades, was formed in November with Miss Devins as adviser. During the winter a day was set for the boys and the girls to practise basketball. The boys’ team had two games with the Greenport Grammar School team. The Southold boys lost one and won one. Although the baseball team is late in getting started, they expect to play one or two games before the season is over. SEWING CLUB NOTES Early in the school year, the girls of Grades Seven and Eight organized the Junior High School Sewing Club. The membership was twenty-nine, with the following officers: President, Elizabeth Baker Vice president, Ruth Christiansen Secretary, Dorothy Howell Treasurer, Edna Dickerson During the year several interesting projects have been carried out. We made various articles to be used as Christmas gifts and also made costumes used in the class play which was given at Christmas time. This spring we have been working on boudoir pillows and other articles which were exhibited at the party given in connection with the Parent-Teacher Association. Several social events have been sponsored by the Sewing Club, among which was a very successful Valentine Party. THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club, which was organized in October, under the direction of Miss Hall, has proved to be a very interesting organization. The club has had an active membership of about fifteen boys and girls. These were the officers chosen: Julius Zebroski, President Anne Thompson, Vice president Anne Thompson, Secretary Beverly Gordon, Treasurer At each meeting at least one experiment has been performed, with the result that the members of the club have become familiar to a certain extent with some of the experiments which will be performed when they take their high school science courses. 50 THE SNUFF BOX JUNIOR HIGH BASEBALL LEAGUE Early in the baseball season, the Seventh and Eighth Grade boys organized four baseball teams, as follows: the Yankees, with James Gagen as manager; the Athletics, managed by Robert Grattan; the Giants, under the leadership of Dan Bridge; and the Browns, directed by Julius Zebroski. The four teams were divided into two leagues, the National and the American, each composed of two teams. The Yankees and the Giants formed the National League, and the American League was composed of the Athletics and the Browns. The winners of each league will oppose each other in seven series to determine the championship. As an added incentive, the Sewing Club has offered the winner a fine pennant. As the Snuff Box goes to press, the National League is in the lead, with the Yankees winning nine games, while in the American League the Athletics have won eight games. THE DRAMATIC CLUB One of the most active of Junior High School Clubs has been the Dramatic Club, which was organized early in the year under Miss Kramer’s leadership. From a membership of about sixteen pupils, the following officers were elected: President, Nelson Dickinson Vice president, Laura Kramer Secretary, Dorothy Lucey The first play that was given was William Tell,” an original pantomime. The next play was entitled The Spirits,” and was produced about Christmas time. Christmas in Flanigan’s Flat,” another play with a Christmas setting, was produced about that time by the Club. Several other plays, among them being The Elder Makes a Call,” Pa’s Daily Dozen,” and Sally and Si,” were given for some of the other clubs, and the last was also repeated for the Southold Grange. The last play of the year was Ludus Romanus,” an original Latin play, written by Edgar Smith. This play was so successful that it was repeated for the Parent-Teacher Association. S. H. S. AGAIN WINS SPELLING CONTEST Southold High School kept its string of victories in the Southold Town Spelling Contest when Anne Thompson won. This year is the fifth consecutive year that Southold has won this honor. The winner in the various towns will meet in June at Riverhead to determine the Suffolk County winner, who will compete at the state wide contest to be held at Syracuse at the time of the State Fair. 51 THE SNUFF BOX The season of 1928-29 saw the Southold High School team win the championship of its section for the third consecutive year. When practice began in November, the outlook was none too bright, as Ru-land, Meredith, and Kress, from last year’s team, were missing, leaving but two or three veterans around whom to build a team. However, Coach Goldsmith is noted for his ability to turn raw material into a smooth basketball team, and this year was no exception. Captain Fanning, Hobson, and Krukowski were the only remaining members of the championship squad of 1927-28, but Frank Kane, a newcomer to Southold High School, proved to be a valuable addition, and with Thompson and Orlowski rounding out the first squad, De-Long, Grattan, and Gagen were used in most of the games and gave promise of developing into first class material by another year. In the latter part of November, Southold met the strong Bay Shore team at Bay Shore and was defeated by a large score. Bay Shore was the team that eventually won its way to the State Tournament, and Southold at the beginning of the season was no match for its more experienced opponents. The game, however, gave the new men some experience, and gave Goldie” a chance to try out his men. The next week Southold played its first home game with Sag Harbor. At the end of the first half, Sag Harbor led, 19-12, but Southold spurted at the beginning of the second half and soon tied the score. From this time out, the two teams were practically deadlocked with neither team able to gain a decisive lead. A long shot and a foul goal near the end gave Sag Harbor the victory, 26-23. Although close, the game was cleanly played by both teams. On December 7th, Southold again lost, this time to Southampton, the team that later played in the County finals. Southold was outclassed, but nevertheless, fought valiantly and gave a good account of 52 THE SNUFF BOX itself, the final score being 39-15. The next week saw one of the most bitter contests of the year when Southold met Riverhead on the latter’s court. A large crowd was on hand to see the two rivals play, and they were given thrill after thrill. Southold led throughout the entire first half, the score being 10-6 at the beginning of the third quarter. Riverhead, trying hard to overcome the lead, finally managed to draw up to even terms with South-old, and just as the final whistle blew, scored a long goal from the field to win 19-17. This game was marred by many fouls, but nevertheless, some excellent basketball was exhibited. Southold’s first victory came the next week when Sag Harbor was defeated 24-22. Two games were played during the Christmas recess, one at Smith-town Branch, and one at East Hampton, Southold losing the former and winning the latter. The game at East Hampton was featured by the tight defense of the Southold team. Fanning, Hobson, and Kane did the scoring for Southold. Early in January, the league season opened, and Southold’s first opponent was Westhampton Beach. This team was highly rated and was expected to give Southold a hard game. Southold went into an early lead and was never threatened. In the second half, Southold scored almost at will, winning by a score of 51-26. Fanning and Thompson did the bulk of the scoring, with 20 and 14 points respectively. Although handicapped by the loss of Fanning, who was out of the game because of illness, Southold was not extended to gain an easy win over Mattituck, 26-6. Thompson and Kane lead the offense, and Kane’s floor work was especially good. Southold lost its next game to Lindenhurst, the latter’s accuracy at long shots being largely responsible for its victory. Overconfident because of its one-sided victory over Westhampton Beach earlier in the season, Southold slumped and lost to Westhampton Beach at Southold by a margin of one point. Although the score was close, the game was rather listless. Krukowski's guarding featured the contest. A close game with Smithtown Branch at Southold was won by the former, 20-17. Thompson was the leading scorer for Southold, while Germond, of Smithtown Branch scored the most points for his team. In the next league game, Southold overwhelmed Mattituck. Mattituck was able to score but 2 points against Southold in the first half, and Coach Goldsmith sent his entire second team into the game during the last half. In view of the close game played earlier in the season at Riverhead, the basketball followers looked for an exciting contest in the return game. Such was not the case, as Southold gained a lead early in the game and was never threatened. The game was rather slow, 53 THE SNUFF BOX with Southold showing a decided superiority in every department. The final score was 3 1-16. Bridgehampton gave a nice exhibition of a clean, fast game when they played at Southold on February 16th. The game was close all the way, with neither team able to gain a decided advantage. With Bridgehampton ahead by one point, Kane threw a goal from a very difficult angle in the last minute of play, winning for the home team, 18-17. Since Westhampton Beach and Southold ended the league season in a deadlock, a play-off was necessary to determine the winner. The game was played at Riverhead on February 19th. Westhampton had improved greatly and was a far better team than the one that Southold had met at the first league game at Westhampton Beach. A large crowd was on hand to see the play-off and it was treated to a good exhibition of basketball. Westhampton Beach went into the lead at the beginning of the game and maintained this lead until the end of the first half, the score being 16-12. In the second half, however, it was a different story. Southold’s defense tightened and their offense began to function more smoothly, with the result that the Southold boys out-scored their opponents 15to 6, making the final score 27-22, and thereby winning the championship of this division of the league. The final play-off against Southampton at East Hampton found Southold in a slump and the team could not seem to penetrate Southampton’s defense. The game was much more interesting than the score would indicate, and Southold exhibited some good floor work but could not score. Captain Fanning, appearing in his last game for Southold, played an excellent game. Southold feels that it has reason to be proud of its basketball record, as it won the championship of its own division and met the teams of much larger schools on practically even terms. Great credit is due the coach, Harold Goldsmith, who developed this team. Southold, too, feels proud of the good brand of sportsmanship exhibited by its team and looks forward to another successful season next year. The following line-up was used during most of the season: Fanning and Thompson..................Forwards Orlowski................................Center Kane and Krukowski Guards Hobson, Grattan, and De Long.......Substitutes 54 THE SNUFF BOX The schedule of games and scores follows: Nov. 23 BAY SHORE 60 SOUTHOLD 13 Nov. 28 SAG HARBOR 26 ii 23 Dec. 7 SOUTHAMPTON 39 ii 15 Dec. 14 RIVERHEAD 19 it 17 Dec. 21 SAG HARBOR 22 ii 24 Dec. 26 SMITHTOWN B. 31 it 12 Jan. 5 EAST HAMPTON 15 it 20 Jan. 11 W.

S., each year some of the boys go to the County Meet. This year Southold won a first place and several of the boys finished among the leaders. Lack of experience and practice handicapped the boys a great deal. This year Krukowski, hurdling for the second time in his life, broke the Class B record set by himself last year when he ran his first hurdle run. For getting first place, he received a gold medal. The following boys were entered in the meet: George De Long, Stanley Krukowski, Jerome Grattan, Frank Kane, and Arthur Fanning. Getting out a paper is no joke. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly. If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. If we publish things from the paper, we are too lazy to write. Perhaps some folks will say we borrowed some of these. Maybe we did. 55 THE SNUFF BOX � BASEBALL TEAM THE SNUFF BOX With a desire to carry on the good work of the 1928 baseball team which went through the entire season undefeated to win the Suffolk County Championship, candidates for the baseball team reported early. The hard-hitting Kress, the reliable Dickerson, and the famous Mere-dith-Ruland battery were out of school, and Southold was confronted with the problem of a new battery. Kane, a new-comer to Southold, was a great help to the team, and his fine hitting has aided greatly. Shipuleski, a beginner in baseball, has also shown great promise and bids fair to be a star pitcher. Worth, a freshman, has done well behind the bat. After trying out several different combinations, the following lineup was decided upon: Worth, Catcher; Kane and Shipuleski, Pitchers; Krukowski, First Base; Hobson, Second Base; Kane and Thompson, Short Stop; Fanning, Third Base; Thompson, Shipuleski, Orlowski and Tuthill, Outfielders; with Gagen, Grattan, and De Long as substitutes. Southold lost its first game of the year when it played Greenport there on April 19th, the final score being 9 to 8. The uncertainty surrounding the pitching staff was one of the reasons which contributed to Greenport’s victory. Greenport scored five runs in the first three innings, and with the game apparently lost, Shipuleski, a new comer, was sent into the box for a try-out. His pitching was remarkably good and he held Greenport to two runs in the next four innings. During this time Southold gradually grew closer to Greenport and in the eighth inning gained a one-run lead. By this time it was almost too dark to play ball, and it their half of the eighth inning, Greenport quickly scored two runs, as our fielders were unable to see the ball. In the next game Southold defeated Mattituck by a one-sided score in a slow, uninteresting game which was featured by Shipuleski’s pitching and the hitting of Worth and Fanning. Southold had looked forward to one of its hardest games when it met Riverhead on May 3rd. However, Southold acquired a large lead 57 THE SNUFF BOX early in the game and showed a decided superiority over Riverhead, to win by 9 to 1. Kane pitched his first game for Southold and held Riverhead to two lone singles, striking out nine men in the seven innings that were played. Hobson with two two-base hits and one single led Southold in batting, although the entire batting order delivered hits at opportune times. A very interesting game ensued when Southold journeyed to East-port and defeated them by a score of 3-0. Both teams fielded exceptionally well, particularly with men on bases. Shipuleski held Eastport to two hits, while Southold was able to get but five hits off Brown’s fine pitching. Twice when Eastport men were on base, Southold completed fast double plays to retire the side. Southold scored its runs as a result of a base on balls and three successive hits. In the sixth inning, Or-lowski featured at bat with a long triple. In the return game with Greenport, Southold turned the tables on their opponents and defeated them by a score of 7 to 6. At the end of the fourth inning ( the score was tied, but in the fifth inning, Southold rallied to score four runs. In their half of the sixth inning, Greenport retaliated by scoring three runs, falling one short, not enough to tie the score. Both teams went scoreless for the remainder of the game. Kane’s relief pitching for Southold, and the hitting of Fanning and Hobson featured. Salter, of Greenport, pitched a good game and also made two two-base hits. Southold met Mattituck the next week and the game was a replica of the first, Southold winning easily by a score of 12 to 3. The day was cold and windy, far from good baseball weather. At times clouds of dust swept the field, making it difficult for batters and fielders as well to play good baseball. Southold’s entire batting order functioned very well. Fanning and Hobson each collected a home run and a triple. Riverhead gave Southold quite a scare in the return game, played at Riverhead. Southold started well, scoring all its three runs in the first inning on five hits. Kane retired Riverhead’s batters in order in the first three innings, and also in the fifth. In the fourth inning, Riverhead managed to get a man to third base, but he was put out trying to score. In the sixth inning, Riverhead scored two runs, making the final 3-2. Playing its last scheduled league game against Eastport, the South-old team failed to play its usual good game and lost by a score of 4-3. Although Shipuleski, who started for Southold, allowed but three hits, his wildness enabled Eastport to get enough men on bases to tally four runs. Southold secured five safe hits, but three were well scattered. Kane’s relief pitching in the seventh inning was the bright feature of Southold’s playing. The entire Eastport team played excellent baseball. The loss of the game to Eastport involved Southold in a tie for first place which must be played off to determine the winner in this section. On Wednesday, June 12, Southold met Greenport and won 6 - 3, winning the championship of the league. Southold played East Hampton for the championship of the Eastern District, losing by a score of 7-5. 58 THE SNUFF BOX The season of 1928-’29 proved to be the first year since girls’ basketball became an organized sport, that Southold High School failed to win a majority of its games. The first call for candidates, which was issued about the first of November, found only two or three veterans from the Championship team of 1927-28. Nevertheless, under Miss Walker’s able coaching, rapid progress was made and while the team lost a large majority of games, it gave a good account of itself in every contest. Also several underclassmen who were new at the game were developed and will be available for next year’s team. Alice Downs was elected manager of the team and Frances Gordon captain. The players were: Adelaide Akscin, Marie Doherty, Helen Dickerson, Frances Gordon, Jean Wells, and Muriel Young, with Louise Orlowski, Mary Furey, and Kathleen Meredith as substitutes. Since no other school in Southold’s division of the League entered a girls’ team, there were no League contests. The first game of the season was played with Bay Shore on the latter’s court. Bay Shore showed a decided superiority over Southold and won by a one-sided score in a slow and uninteresting game. The next game on November 30 was the first home game, with Sag Harbor the opposition. During the first half of the game, the score was close, Southold being in the lead several times. In the last half, however, the Southold girls tired, and Sag Harbor ran up a commanding lead to win by 21-13. On December 7, the Southampton team, which later won the championship of its division, won from Southold by a comfortable margin. The next week saw one of the best played games of the year at Riverhead. Trying hard to defeat one of its closest rivals, the South-old team played an excellent game, leading by a good margin at the end of the first half and holding the lead until near the end of the 59 THE SNUFF BOX third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Southold s defense weakened and the Riverhead forwards scored enough points to give it victory. On December 21st Southold again lost to Sag Harbor at Sag Harbor. The game was slow and uninteresting. Two games were played during the Christmas recess, one at Smith-town and one at East Hampton, Southold losing both contests. When Smithtown played a return game at Southold, on February 1, the home team showed a decided improvement and gave the Smith-town girls a good contest, although Smithtown won. The next week the Southold girls played a winning game with Mattituck at Southold, bringing success to their team by a one-sided score of 39-6. February 11th brought Southold and Riverhead together again and a close game was the result, with Riverhead winning out in the last half after a hard game. The outlook for Southold for another year is very good. Although several members of the team will be lost by graduation, this year’s substitutes, who had quite a bit of experience, will fill the gaps, and there are several members of the 1928-29 grammar school team who appear to be good candidates for next year’s varsity team. SENIORS Oh, we’re reaching our goal And the way is less dim, Instead of silly Freshies” We are Seniors solemn and prim. Once we were little Freshies” As silly as can be; Then we reached our Sophomore year And oh, how proud were we! How much prouder we were to be Juniors! And Commencement is drawing near. And now we are Seniors So much nearer to our last year; How sorry we are to leave this school Where we spent a good many hours! But eagerly we look forward to Commencement In the beautiful month of flowers! To our classmates we bid goodbye; To our teachers who have helped us through; To those we have known in Southold High, We say Farewell” to you! 60 E. M. M.

Big Tut—I’m a self made man. I’ll have you know. Frank—Doesn’t your conscience trouble you? Miss Fullerton—Have you ever run a temperature? Francis S.—No, but I’ve driven nearly every other kind of car. 63 THE SNUFF BOX 64 THE SNUFF BOX S. H. S.

It is the name of a family of brands, INCLUDING BRADLEY’S A-A-C BRANDS AGRICO BOWKER’S COE-MORTIMER LISTER’S EAST INDIA HESS DARLING’S These famous brands are America’s best known fertilizers. The “AA QUALITY” seal on the back of every bag of these fertilizers is a pledge to the farmer that these Brands are authentic—the best brands of all time—many of them dating back to the very beginning of the fertilizer industry. The “AA QUALITY” Seal, like the Sterling Mark on a piece of silver, is a symbol of quality, a guarantee of value. H. W.

Pace Institute encourages graduates everywhere to continue purposeful study—in academic college courses if practicable, in professional courses in Accountancy and Business Administration if business life is in close prospect. Your mental development, in any event, must continue. Pace Institute is a distinctive private school of professional grade. By means of day and evening courses in Accountancy and Business Administration, and Secretarial Practice, it prepares high-school graduates for specific duties and immediate earning in business and in the practice of Accountancy. Many of its graduates, after acquiring experience, have become treasurers, controllers, auditors, private secretaries, and office managers of large corporations. Many others have become certified public accountants and are in successful Accountancy practice. The Registrar of the Institute suggests that you call at the Institute for a conference with respect to your own personal problem. If practicable, bring your father or mother, or both, to join in the conference. If you cannot arrange for an immediate call, write for the school bulletin, which contains interesting details with respect to Accountancy practice, and the interesting held work which is conducted in conjunction with study at the Institute.
