19 IT REPLY TO THE SENIORS As recipients of the Seniorship of M. H. S. we Juniors feel the great responsibility which will be placed upon us. But the dignity which we have been steadily acquiring during our high school course, will, we are sure, stand any test. We shall profit by your mistakes, O Seniors, you may be sure, for they are very plain to us. We will always be true to M. H. S. and uphold our school in every way possible. At least, dear Seniors, we will hold our class rings as treasures to be worn only by ourselves. What we always hope to be is an example to which all future M. H. S. classes may look up. The time will soon come when we can no longer give you any of our good advice so, as opportunity offers, we advise: Hazel Tuthill: Don’t talk to yourself: it’s a sign you’re getting old. Hope Duryee: In regard to stocks and bonds— ‘‘Watch your step”. Millicent Tuthill: School teachers should never “giggle”. Flora Binns: Keep up your singing, we are sure you will some day equal Alma Gluck. Anita McNulty. As it’s done in Mattituck: A glance, a smile. Blush! A walk, a talk. Crush!

ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS Well, Juniors, we have finished our work in M. H. S. and must turn the Seniorship over to you. We have done our best to uphold the class spirit; but our numbers were few. So if we have failed to come up to your idea of Seniors, we advise you to profit by our mistakes and do better; and as a result of experience and observation we beg of you: Be true to M. H. S. and keep up Class Spirit in both school work and athletics. Remember it is never wise to cheer for the opposing team even if they are your friends. And. dear Juniors, remember it is most important that you set a good example for the rest of the school. The cherub Freshman, the sophisticated Sophomores and next year’s bragging Juniors will all look up to you as their model. As the Seniors go, so goes the entire High School. Among those to succeed us there may be some who would like individual advice, and to them we now speak: To Vivian Seymour—giggling does not befit the dignity of a Senior. To Alice Silkworth—A Senior must never stay out late except on Friday and Saturday evenings. To Alice Case—It is a good plan to feed your horse the first part of the noon hour lest you forget it till the bell rings. To Anita McNulty—All work and no play will make ’Nita fade away. And to Lyndon, the only man in the class—Take good care of the girls and do not try any fancy driving on the way to school.

VRAM A TICS On March 18th and 19th was presented the Ori- ental fantastique given by the pupils of our school. Naturally there was much interest in the production, as it was something out of the ordinary. Lester E. McCloy representing the John B. Rogers Producing Company of Fositoria, Ohio, trained the pupils. He brought with him special scenery and costumes for the play. He had under his direction over one hundred people who had part in the cast. The show was a musical comedy of the profes- sional type, based on a plot full of humor, and carrying witty songs, with special choruses and groups. Laid in India, the first act presented Oriental ladies, priests, slaves, veiled dancers, Indian idols and settings, which brought to us the very atmosphere of that distant and mysterious land. The second act took us to America, where we saw the modern home of Mrs. Chattie Gaddin on Riverside Drive, New York. Some of the characters were: Solejah, Widow of a Wizard: Dorothy Brown Urbanah, High Priestess of the Temple: Hope Duryec Maharajah of Hunga, an East Indian Romeo :Rov Reeve Boodypah, Attendant of the Maharajah: Jerome Burns Katcha Koo, An American aviator, pretending to be an Oriental Fakir: Donald Gildersleeve Dick, an American adventurer: Clarence Diller Dolly Gaddin: Flora Binns Prudence Gaddin: Alice Silkworth Mrs. Chattie Gaddin, an American adventuress: Evelyn Kirkup Patsy Kildare, Irish wife of the Maharajah: Marjorie Harris
