'Q - 6 THE. CRYSTAL 16-Crystal Board is formed. Miss Marjorie Kuehn will be at the helm. It's going to be the talk of two hemispheres- this Port Jefferson High School Annual. 18-Stony Brook boys succumb to a team that displayed a brand of basketball they could not fathom. Revenge is so, so sweet. 21 -A monstrous large school banner would be splendid for the Washington trip-so we're going to have one. At least the Senate says so. 25-Port Jefferson at Babylon. The last League game of the season. The girls Win, 50-27, and the boys 15-10. We've grabbed ofl' the championship of our league in girls' basket- ball while the boys are going to play off a tie for first place in their league with that annoying Amityville. Interest runs high. March 1 1-Amityville proved quite as annoying as expected. The boys' basketball tie was played off at Bay Shore--and the enemy won. Score, 27-21. Hard luck--and everybody brokenhearted. 3-Orchestra entertains the student body with a corking good program of classical and popular music. 4-Stony Brook the scene of another battle. The boys from Port Jefferson splendidly victorious-for the sledding was tough. Score, 21-18. 8-A really, truly movie we had-and enjoyed too. East of Broadway was the title. 9-Port Jefferson and Bay Shore clashed at Smithtown for the girls' Sulfolk title. Bay Shore proved the faster team and won by a large margin. Basketball is a hard master. We wanted the game badly but Fate decreed otherwise. 17-The Parrot goes into the hands of the Juniors, while the former staff takes up work onthe Crystal. 24-C' est le Francais! Those who studied performed in As- sembly-and those who did not endeavored to look Wise. 30-Three ambitious souls competed in an oratorical contest sponsored by the New York Times. Two boys and a girl. The lone young lady Won and will have another oppor- tunity when she represents Port JeEerson at the Patchogue contest. April 1-2-The well known High School operetta, Pickles, or In Old Vienna is produced. Everyone agrees that Broadway is missing a dandy performance. 5-The baseball squad begins to clutter up the place with balls and bats and the threat of broken Windows. Time, tide, and the printer wait for no man. The presses call. We must drop our pen. Use your imagination for the rest of the period Until the happy days of June.

1- - - -Y 1---.2 THE CRYSTAL -The young bloods gave the Alumni a bad licking during the Xmas holidays. They had nice suits. January I -There are imposing piles of galoshes in the cloak room, and loud neckties and terrifying sweaters in the study hall. Every one knows the exact minute for the passing bell, 'cause We all asked Santa for a wrist watch so we would know. Hen Tooker wears a tie, undoubtedly the fond gift of some doting relative. It is green with pale orange dots. He grins and wears it. We suifer and bear it. -The basketball teams go to Islip, and add two more impos- ing scores to their already fine record. Girls, 53-15 boys, 31-13. -And some more basketball. Port Jeff. and Lindenhurst with P. J. on the right end of the score. Girls, 34-233 boys, 15-10. -The Regents loom in sight. It's odd how things quiet down. Shh!! We're studying! -Amityville, the proud and haughty suffers defeat from Port Jefferson. Their teams are good and they worried us a little for a while. Scores, 30-29 and 32-24. -We frolicked through Regents. Now that they are a mat- ter of history there is much noise and monkey-business again. -Smithtown at Port Jefferson. Tunes, girls 47-16, and boys 45-10. We have run out of expletives to express our pride. February -1927 organizes. Mr. James Gaynor finds himself president of the class, the class that old Port Jeff is going to be proud of. -Amityville didn't treat us so well when we went to call. In fact, her girls were very impolite. 14-26 was the dis- tressing score. While the boys took a 23-25 defeat, a sporting one anyway. We have tasted the dust, so now its time to hit the clouds. -The cheer leaders became excited today and demanded noise. We gave them some-cheering is our stock in trade. -Islip at Port Jeierson. Back with the old Port fight. The girls Win, 71-26, and the boys 39-16. The Seniors are getting excited about their class ring. Only Miss Denman's tact saves the day. Wolf Harth says Onyx cracks, the girls think onyx is just perfectly darl- ing! But then I suppose every Senior Class has its troubles.
