Prissy has a mischievous twin- kle in her eye and is always on the lookout for a good time. Behind her puritanical name of Priscilla, lurks a spirit of good sportsman- ship and charm that has won her a slew of friends during her too brief stay in Port Jeff. We pity Massachusetts in her loss of a fine pal and good student, but glory in our possession of her. Priscilla's popularity has been proven by her election to the vice-presidency of the Class of '29.

Vivian is one of our quiet class- mates, but we must recall that old maxim about silence being golden. However, Vivian's silence is cast aside at times when she is with her intimates. Those of us who are lucky enough to have become well acquainted with this young lady, who hails from that metrop- olis, Miller Place, realize the mean- ing of her friendship-faithful and lasting. We often wonder if this rosy- cheeked maid is a booster of Palm- olive, for her peaches-and-cream complexion is the envy of all the fair sex of '29. Athletic Association, 33 Senate, 3. BEATRICE BURKE Red In arguing, too, Babe owed her skill, for e'en though vanquished she could argue still. During Babe's four years in high school she has made many friends, in spite of a red-headed temper. Beatrice's happy personality is a great asset to the Class of '29, but woe be unto him who falls into her clutches in an argument! During her Senior year this curly headed young lady distinguished herself as a member of Port's first interscholastic soccer team, and in a principal role in the annual play, DuIcy.

Lenore Carlton, who is a rather quiet person, devotes her spare time to drawing, for which she has won many prizes, both in school and out. Her literary and artistic work on the Purple Parrot has helped to make the paper better. Lenore was a winner of the New York Times Contest and a recip- ient of many other prizes for her work as an amateur artist and au- thor, dating back to the fourth grade. She enjoys long hikes and is one of the captains ofthe Hiking Club. A. A., 1, 2, 3, 43 Student Org., 2, 4: Phi Delta Sigma, 3, 4, Glee Club, 4, Captain of G. H.

She's right there when there's something to be accom- plished, and we are well aware of her indefatigable pep by her tech- nique in cheerleading, in subscrip- tion contests, etc. Bett has the biggest drag in the school tper- haps due to the fact that the fac- ulty are well informed concerning her intellectual abilityj and we may well say that she finds it most decidedly convenient at times.

Don certainly can tickle the ivor- ies, much to the envy of us all, and he is noted for his bright, cheerful personality and friendly spirit. In spite of his teasing ways, the younger students as well as '29 will be extremely sorry to sever connections with Don, and all wish him a successful future in Stony Brook and otherwise.

That's the spirit, Helen, smiles always pay! Certainly, many of us envy your cheery countenance, especial- ly on a rainy Monday morning. You do help chase away the Blue Mondays.

His voice resounded in most of the operetta choruses and also in the Boys' Glee Club. It is in the football games that he puts to shame Daniel Webster's famous Bunker Hill quotation by his own, If you don't honor me, then you don't honor your coun- try.

ARNOLA ROSE Nolan 'lThere was a little girl, who had a little curl. Arnola, deniure and likewise si- lent, with long brown curls, is an- other essential member of the Class of '29. She is not only able to wield a singing violin bow, but can also wield that full-back kick in the inter-class soccer contests, sending the ball far down the held. Arnola is an excellent swimmer, and enjoys boating and fishing. In- cidentally she has the nicest launch, in which some of us have enjoyed many a ride during the summer months.

LILLIAN SHERIDAN Tee-dee Hers is a life that is free from care. Sherry, a member of the firm of Murry and Sheridan, came to Port from the wide open spaces of Mt. Sinai.

Clifton Lee In March the junior class was organized with the above of- ficers and immediately started upon its duties as upper-classmen. XYhen the Seniors took up the work of the Crystal, the Juniors took charge of the Purple Parrot, our weekly paper, and have turned out many creditable issues. The class of l3O is a very large class and has proved its ability in all the activities of the school as well as in the scholastic achievement of its members. There are always Juniors on Basketball, Soccer and Cheerleading squads and there have been Juniors in the High School Play and the Operetta. It seems only a very short time since we entered high school as frightened little Freshmen but now we are ready to assume the tasks which the Seniors will leave for us. 35 , r-Yrrqfxkp r 5- rs le 31 -11 HI E we 7' Uhr Snphnmnrv Qllazu The word sophomore is said to have been derived from the ancient Greek, and means. a wise fool. I have my doubts con- cerning this statement, yet there seems to be some truth in it. 'Fake a look at the first four letters of the word 'isophisticatedf' which means worldly-wise. As to the last part of the word, nt-o-r-e, if you are interested enough, you might look up moron in the dictionary. Looking at it in a different way, this statement seems to be false. at least in relation to this school, because, so far as l can see, there are no fools, even wise ones, in the sophomore class, or, for that matter, in the whole school. There are 55 sophomores, and almost every one of them has done something to help the school along. This year, for the First time, the number of students in each class having been sufficient, all the classes were organized, instead of just the juniors and the Seniors, as before. Un Friday 1norning, March 15, for President we elected VVilliam Miller, a young man who hails from the big city of VVad- ing River, and who is also Business Manager of the Purple Parrot. For Vice-President, Gen Spurga was elected. Dorothy Purick was elected secretary, and Peggy Preitzel treasurer. VVe are all sure that these students will do their best for the sophomore class. and for the High School. 36 an l 2l .l .tllG1fwHl il Uhr Zllrruhman Glass Meet the Freshman-The Freshman class has 39 members. The class of '32, although it has been in High School only one year, has accomplished much toward the great goal. In the various activities of the school, the Freshman class is well represented. Its girls have the distinction of being the win- ning soccer team in the school.. This class is always willing to do its share in ticket selling, subscription contests, and any other project the school undertakes. Recently, the Freshman class organized and the otiicers were elected as follows: President, Olive Darling, Vice-President, Wil- Iiam Godfrey, Secretary, Jean Dayton, Treasurer, Nancy Olsen. Although we are not very well known now, we hope to reach h t e top some day, and be the best class that ever graduated from Port Jeff. High. 37 E .121 M5185 Grahrn 9211911 anim Eight The Eighth Grade class meeting was held Thursday afternoon March 14, when the following officers were elected, President, Ethel Baldwing Vice-President, Orville Browng Secretary and Treasurer, Martha De Ryckere. Elmer Holmes was chosen to write the class will and Mary Walker the prophecy. The flower selected by the class is the yellow rose and the class colors are yellow and white. In January, nine of the original twenty-eight members passed the required subjects and became full-fledged high school students. The Seventh grade has thirty-five members. It does not or- ganize, but the class enters the various school contests and ticket sales, and does its bit in these activities. 38 qw Q m ay L , 9 'kmf faiikeasg, 4 M9 'Cz- NN 15' 8 Ne! 0.

Vandermeulen As we all know, the Senate has been replaced this year by the Student Organization. The students have responded remarkably well by paying their dues regularly. The high school student's dues are 33.50 and the pupils in the grades are admitted by paying 52.50. The members of this organization can attend the various school activities at a reduction in price, so it is, of course, a great advantage to the students. Also, all other organizations of the school have their charters approved by the Student Organizationg thus the student body has a keen interest in the activities of the school. Then, too, it raises the funds for the Washington Trip. And what a great help it is! Ask the Seniors, they know. This group forms an assembly, representative of the students of Port Jefferson High School, which is highly respected by those favoring democratic principles. 40 1'12 5itiilifHHfHli Purple liarrnt During the latter part of january 1929, The Purple Parrot was heard chattering louder than ever as it strutted proudly about, pluming its bright purple feathers. Moreover, it seemed to wink with a knowing air at the wondering students. When it bade fare- well to its faithful servants, the Senior statt, everyone knew why it had been acting so mysteriously. To be sure, the wise bird was about to pass into the hands of the juniors. Accordingly, the hrst edition of The Purple Parrot under the new staff, was issued on February 6. Margaret Lowry, the editor-in-chief, was supported by an enthusiastic staff with Miss Laughton as the faculty adviser. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, the new staff has endeavored to make The Purple Parrot as fine a paper as possible during the short time it has been working. With the cooperation of the student body, it wishes to make the Parrot echo as clearly as possible the activities and spirit of the school. 41 JU FE: H s 12- l' HT'J7W' Tw flu' N1 Y , s, -oy. x l t Q 1-M! 31 N M g 1 1 in .

The Glee Club has also adopted this year a costume which they showed for the first time at the Novelty Night entertainment. The members also plan to select a pin.

The year was successfully opened by a very entertaining meet- ing. New members were taken in, the rules and regulations of the club read and other business was carried on. After the business was transacted, the members of last year's club gave a modern one-act play, Casual VVater. Meetings were held the first Monday of each month. The meetings were made sociable by a play or sketch, refreshments and sometimes dancing. Phi Delta Sigma gave its second annual ball on December 23. The dance was a semi-formal affairg music was furnished by Val's orchestra. Many of the prominent people of Port Jefferson and vicinity attended this function. The auditorium was very elabo- rately decorated for this event. 44 will MM MI X ' , ,l i M H N QMEEIHH - Illnm X Illlllllli JW!

Those behind the scenes as well as the members of the cast did their best to make the play successful and worthwhile. The part of lJulcy was played by Kathryn Porter on Friday night, and by Beatrice Burke on the following evening. The per- formances of both girls were distinctive and capably done. Louis l'Jondero's interpretation of Tom Sterrett was xvell-nigh perfect, while Charles Guy as XVilliam Parker indulged in much droll and amusing conversation. Henry, the butler, was portrayed by George Baker. Priscilla Soule played the role of the romantic Angela to perfection. Thomas Allen's histrionic ability was shown by his portrayal of the part of Gordon Smith. Roberta Murray as Mrs. Forbes made her role a decided success. Mr. Forbes in the person of Alfred Anderson was cleverly done. Vincent Leach, played by Parker Haesloop, was extremely amusing. Ernest Hopkins, as Blair Patterson, and Donald Floyd as Schuyler Van Dyck, took their parts cleverly. 46 OPERETTA 1 S Y if X Y V S YY :E i 2111 rgztat llharrrtta 'l'he operetta given this year was Carrie Comes to College, a musical play in two acts. Spencer Goodnow, Louis Dondero, a good spendthrift, is the son of a millionaire. Because of his debts, his dismissal from Beetax is sure. NVhen his father, Hiram Good- now, Donald Floyd, learns of this, he immediately goes to Beetax. He is informed of his son's actions by a beauty specialist, Madame Louise, Kathryn Porter. Upon Mr. Goodnow's arrival at Beetax he is met by Madame Louiseg Fred, portrayed by Thomas Alleng Bobby, a spit fire, acted by V. VVarnerg and Tommy, taken by Ernest Hopkins. After much discussion, it is decided to cut Spen- cer's allowance off and let him earn his own way through college. Porky, VVilliam Mueller, offers to loan Spencer the money which is originally given by Mr. Goodnow. Porky is chosen be- cause he always has plenty of money and because he is supposed to be a governor's son attending Beetax incognito. Spencer, frightened by the attitude of his creditors, represented on the stage by Williaiii Godfrey and Harry Purvis, plans to leave college. His plans are thwarted by Carrie, Ruth Anderson, who chides him for being a quitter. VVhen Tommy tells Spencer that Porky will lend him the money, he feels that his problems are solved. But Porky thoughtlessly gives the plan away and when Spencer finds that it is all a trick he refuses to accept the loan. Carrie, having promised Spencer's creditors that his bills would be paid, pays them with her meager savings and says that if Spencer were man enough he would remain and pay the money back to her. Spencer and Porky open a service station and the income from this permits Spencer to pay all his debts. Spencer has never for- given Carrie for what he thinks was her part in the plot and treats her so harshly that she leaves college before the fete given by Ma jenkins, Irene Newberry. Bobby tells Spencer that Carrie had no part in the plot. Madame Louise intercepts Carrie before she boards the train, so all are present at the fete where it is discov- ered that Madame Louise is Spencer's mother Cwho through a mis- understanding parted from his father years beforej and the aunt of Both Carrie and Bobby, children of half sisters. Much surprise is evidenced when Governor Thompson, Alfred Anderson, announces that Tommy is his son and that he wins ten thousand dollars for having worked his way through college under the required conditions. Spencer is forgiven by Carrie. Bobby and Tommy, who have been quarreling all through the play, decide to keep quarreling to- gether through life. So the story ends. 48 l fi lli Gfgmllsl lgrizr Spraking Glnntrat nf 1923 The school's third annual oratorical contest was held on Fri- day evening, May 25, 1928. One of the largest and most apprecia- tive audiences that this contest has had was present. The program started promptly at 8:15. First, the High School orchestra gave a selection, Song of the South. After this the following were given: 'KTrouble in the Amen Corner,', Harbaugh-Irene New- berryg The Congo, Lindsey-Donald Floyd, Advice to Youth, Mark Twain-Betty Gurney, Mazurka, Ernst Schmit-High School orchestra, Opportunities of a Scholar, Grady-Thomas Newtong A Vision of VVar and a Vision of the Future, Ingersoll-Irma How It Happened, Doyle-Thomas Allen, Goin' Home, Dvorak, and The Bells of St. Mary's, Adams, by the Girls' Glee Club. Following this Priscilla Soule recited Kentucky Belle, Wilson, john Randall: Herve Riel, Browning, Anna Henningseng Amer- icanism, H. C. Lodge. The Shooting of Dan MacGrew,', Service, given by William Minuse, followed by a selection from the High School orchestra, Emerald, Seredy, ended the program. The judges for the contest were: Mr. F. E. Gaebelein, head- master, Stony Brook Schoolg Reverend Karl Moore, Setauket, and Miss Eleanor Whitney, head of the physical education department, Port jefferson High School. They decided that Irma Lawrence and NVilliam Minuse excelled. The second prizes were awarded to Priscilla Soule and john Randall. Editor Scherer of the Port jefTerson Echo, donor of the prizes, was then presented. Mr. Scherer congratulated each of the contestants, spoke briefly on the value of such a contest and stated that he was happy to take part in an active way in such a fine edu- cational project. He then awarded the two first prizes of ten dollar gold pieces and the second prizes of five dollar pieces. New Hnrk Elimra Qlnnirnt On Thursday, April 5, five of our students gave their orations on the Federal Constitution. Those who competed were Lenore Carlton, Helen Nitsche, William Davis, john Randall and Myron Woodfield. This contest was held to determine who should repre- sent Port jefferson High School in the semi-finals. The judges were members of the High School Faculty, who were almost unani- mous in their selection of Lenore Carlton. In the semi-finals at Riverhead, Thomas M. Fell, jr., of the Setauket High School, and George W. Roesch, jr., of the River- head High School, were the winners. Lenore Carlton of Port jefferson and Hazel King of West Hampton Beach, also spoke and received third and fourth place respectively. 49 Mill E , l g u l T I V , 5? - '15 2 if l i l! La. - . .F . . O Ggm Night The annual gym night entertainment was given on October 27, 1928. The program was under the direction of Miss Whitney and Miss Hosley. The stage setting was designed by Miss Bartholo- mew. The program was varied, consisting of drills, stunts, dances, acrobatic work. Two miniature pages introduced the various fea- tures. There was an electric Indian club drill done by Nancy Olsen. Eight high school boys made very acceptable clowns. Beatrice Burke and Parker Haesloop gave a Dutch dance. There was also a tiller dance by some high school girls, a stick drill, a dumb bell drill, a jumping drill, acrobatic work. Tom Allen and Louis Dondero did an Apache dance. Elizabeth Robertson and Olive Darling danced a Hirtation waltz. The high school orchestra furnished music. The performance was a decided success. The program was well executed, and well received by our patrons, who' called it an excellent entertainment. Nnurltg Night The school's second novelty night entertainment was given March 5, 1929. This program was intentionally diverse, including many different features and using students from the kindergarten through the high school. The curtain opened on the kindergarten orchestra, conducted by one of its members. A radio stunt was given by some students from the first three grades. A desirable trait of this feature was that the static was eliminated. The boys and girls of the sixth grade gave a song and dance act, the Skating Song, which was especially well done. A Doll Dance was given by Annie Butera, Janet Gover and Olive Darling. Nancy Olsen and Pearl Schoen- berger gave a sparkler drill. There were many musical selections, both vocal and instrumental, by high school and grade students. A one-act farce, Julius Caesar, given by some boys of the Dramatic Club, ended the program. In addition to those who actually appeared on the stage, ,Miss Hosley, Miss Whitney, Miss Bartholomew, Miss Thompson, Miss Knight and Mr. Kiessling contributed to the success of the enter- tainment. 50 GYM NIGHT KINDERGARTEN ORCHESTRA - x xv I rl' 1 if I N 1-H H 'I X E N ff A 1 I 2 , f In , J f f f 'f my ' 4 ls H w y S PO IRQUVS 'unnw l l -1 211 llE ' 4 al 5liGf5u5fH1 Zlinnthall Beginning with the season of 1928, a football league was or- ganized on Long Island. In Suffolk County there were two sec- tions, the Eastern and the Western, of which we are a member, along with Bayshore, Huntington and Patchogue. Patchogue, who is so near to us on the South side, was fortunate enough to win first place in the Western section, while Southampton, league lead- ers of the Eastern section, won the play-off for the Suffolk county championship. With only six of last year's varsity remaining on the squad, Coach Kiessling tried his best to build up a team that would line up to the standards of Port Jefferson High School. However, it was not until the Patchogue game, the team proved their metal by holding the champs 6-6 for their only set-back. This showed to all what the fellows were capable of doing. Following this, the team visited Amityville and Bayshore, where as lady luck would have it, two defeats stained their record, 15-O, 6-O, while in both games Port Jefferson outgained their oppo- nentsl This drove the team to desperation and on November 10th they awoke with a bangf' as the Brooklyn Times expressed it, completely outsmarting the clever Valley Stream eleven, by sink- ing them to the tune of 34-6! After this taste of victory, the boys traveled to the town of Huntington where after the first three- quarters they were on the end of a 26-O score, four of their regulars out, and torn to pieces by their heavier opponents. However, nothing can drown the light of Port first, so with two minutes to go, they surprised everyone by making a sustained drive that netted a touchdown! A SCHEDULE Opps. P. J. Riverhead at P. . ..

The year started with the highest of hopes, even Coach Kiessling was optimistic, but the law of averages, which no one can defy, upset his carefully laid plans. The first game of the season was with Central Islip, who is not a member of the league. Port managed to pile up sixteen points which did the trick. The boys then traveled to East Islip, who proved most inhos- pitable, defeating our quintet 32-16. At half-time the score was 20-4, so you can see how the fellows fought in the last half. Then Islip was our guest. VV'e sent her home with her first defeat, 24-20, in a very thrilling exhibition of team work. Then we went to Smithtown minus two of the regulars. Smith- town defeated us for the first time in three years, 45-22. We all looked forward to the Alumni game, it was a nip and tuck contest and ended in a tie, 19-19. However, the boys brought home the bacon in the extra period in a lightning-like manner, 27-21, scoring four baskets in three minutes! Babylon won a close game from the team, with only two of its regular men ong the subs put up a wonderful scrap, 23-19. Lindenhurst, the champs, managed to break away from our representatives after being held to one basket in the first quarter, 32-16. The team then avenged its defeat by East Islip, trimming them up nicely 32-29. Stony Brook Prep then came to see us and felt they had a vic- tory, leading 13-3 at half. But when the whistle blew, the old team was out in front, 29-25. At this point our star center, Cherub, left school and broke up the team. It could not get started after this, losing four games at fairly good scores. Throughout the season the boys put up stiff opposition for their opponents, fighting always, no matter what the odds. After all, there are other benefits in interscholastic basket ball and our team has felt these. 56 Q 121 ll BUYS' l1.XSKE'1' 1' 'Xl,l. fllllemhrra nf Bugs' Easkrt Ball Gram Furwarfls ..... . ................ 1Vrmclarcl, Dlllklelu Guztrcls . . . ...Robert Krause, Allen Centers .... ..... ......

We were justified in this prediction for the boys, through constant practice and un- yielding zeal, fought their way to the county finals before suffering defeat. This in itself is an accomplishment, a distinction which not every school can attain. Babylon was our victims in both the singles and doubles matches. Sayville also met with this fate, but twice our balls flew too fast, our men were too tricky for her representatives. The fellows who did our battling were as popular in school as on the tennis court. jimmy Gaynor and Ruggles Woodard were our doubles team. Claude Tuthill also worked with this faction. Bill Minuse was our singles representative and Charles Guy took his place in some of the games. In this season, only our second at tennis, these fellows have built up considerable reputation for our racquets throughout the county. Gumball In the year 1927 Port jefferson High School's representatives won the championship of their league from an array of diamond stars most unusual in scholastic competition. Considering this, and also considering the fact that seven of these men graduated, you can appreciate the wonderful record made by the greenhorns at baseball-for they actually ended their first year on the diamond with a 100 average, quite remarkable. Some of the candidates were from grammar school. However, the smooth functioning machine the boys developed into surprised even the coach! Their first combat resulted in a vic- tory over Setauket to the tune of 8 to 5. On April 24 they first met defeat, at the hands of Islip, our South side rivals. This was their worst set-back-18 to 2. Their visit to Smithtown resulted in a defeat-13 to 12. The boys put up a great fight against their older opponents. However, they repeated over Setauket-11 to 7, flashing the form they started the season with. 58 ,Ei 2 115 F e em agl l ali g m F ' T ff Q l , ,, ,,, , , 7 - .4 f N .-W? QA , ..

The last game of the season on May 29 found Center Moriches our guests-we gave them a warm welcome and a quick send-oE- 15 to 5. So the season closed with a victory. Some of the boys displayed form that may some time bring to them big league fame. Good luck, fellows! Lineup: Anderson ,... Catcher Tillotson ..... Pitcher Cherub . . . .....

Hence, there was a break in the long choice of success- ful years attained by our girls, so far as the actual winning of games go. The season was not so unsuccessful as it might ap- pear, for the members gained invaluable experience in playing, and as the majority of the team and squad will be here next year, it is expected that the team will find that something which puts a team on the top rung of the ladder, This year they have gained their experience-next year they will use it. The team this year was managed by a very able captain, Betty Dickerson. According to the new system of electing captains, Betty had to prove her worth before she was elected, and she continued to act ably in this position. Miss Whitiiey, who ofticiated as coach, did her best to put P. on the top. Zlntvrrlana Gamra nf Basket Ball The Interclass games for girls created much excitement and a keen feeling of rivalry. There were two groups of interclass games: those between the different Gym periods and those between the classes: Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. In order to pick teams to represent the Gym classes, the classes were each divided into teams, and the team that proved itself the best by defeating the other teams represented its class. Genevieve Spurgafs team, representing the fifth period class, won. The games between the classes were even more exciting. The Seniors defeated the juniors by one point. The Sophomores were victorious over the Freshmen by a score of 8-1. Then in the play- off between the Seniors and Sophomores, the Sophomores suc- ceeded in rolling up the bigger score of 6-1 and so were the leaders. 60 'l'f1QzHQ ' fllllrmhrrz nf Girls' Eankvt Ball Gram Center ......... ...Virginia Dreyer Right Forward ....

Suffolk Glnuntg Girlz' Urark Mint The first track meet ever held for girls under the auspices of the Suffolk County Athletic Association was run off at Patchogue on Saturday, June 4. Sixteen high schools participated. The Port girls made a splendid showing considering how much they are hampered by lack of proper facilities for track. At the conclusion of the day's events, it was found that Patch- ogue had attained first place in the meet. Riverhead came in sec- ond. The third place was gained by Southampton, while Port was fourth, securing ten points. Port Jefiferson's points were scored by the following: Girls' Junior Relay-Stella Wozniak, Nancy Edgar, Fannie Sills, Gene- vieve Spurga, l. Basket Ball Throw-Vivian Dreyer, 53 Genevieve Spurga, 33 Anne Gudzik, 1. Cfgm Meet Last year P. J. H. S. added a new feature to its program, namely, Gym Meet. The purpose of this meet was to show those who are interested in our school the things that we are taught to do in our gym classes. This being the case, it was in every way an athletic affair. The meet was in the form of a contest between the four classes in high schoolg the winning class to gain the honor of having its numerals placed on the banner to be presented that night. The program consisted of drills, relay races, dances, endurance tests, jumping rope contests and original stunts. The latter were kept secret as each class had entire charge of its stunt. The Freshmen and Seniors each having secured 28 Points tied for first place, therefore, both classes had their numerals placed on the banner. The Sophomores secured second place with a score of 24 and the Juniors third with a score of 10. 62 M 1 1 was GIRLS' TRACK TEAM Twp Rww-Svule, Ifflgilf, Slbllfgil, Conch XYl1it11cy Hwtunlm Rmx'-IJic'ke1'sm1, Ulsvn, IJ:u'li11ff, I3reYe1', Purick 35 1 63 s r' iz.. ii a s Ki 9111 H ww! Ernnia May. 1928, was a successful month for P. H. S. in tennis. especially so for the girls' teams. The first match of the season was played in Patchogue. Virginia Dreyer won the girls' singles. Vivian Dreyer and Betty Ebert won the girls' doubles after a hard fought match. Later at Islip Virginia won the singles, and Vivian and Betty won the doubles easily. The final match was played at Patchogue. Virginia lost after a hard battle, but the doubles team won the championship. These three girls deserve congratulations for their success and for the excellent games they played. Hiking Glluh Last fall a girls' hiking club was organized under the super- vision of Miss Whitney. The object of this club is to interest the girls in hiking. After having completed 50 miles of hiking, each member of the club receives a pin. Each girl who walks five hun- dred miles by the end of the school year will receive a letter from the school. The officers of this club are Kathryn Porter, president and secretary, and Francis Lynn, treasurer. There are a number of captains who record the number of miles each girl walks. Arrhrrg Another new sport, archery, has been added to the many now in school. Practice will begin this spring under the supervision of Miss Whitney. This sport is something of a novelty at present and bids fair to be a success, both because it is new here and be- cause it is a form of a very ancient sport. Perhaps in another year we shall be able to have interscholastic as well as interclass com- petition. 64 ,,,,,..,- .... , . -V --,ll- - T ' AQ -4 TX i l -H 1-' l l l 31 Hgl tliwfvrfrl -ii Girlz' Surfer Since this was our hrst year playing interscholastic games in soccer, our girls came to the front ancl valiantly fought for vic- tories.

Baarhall Qlarniual The Second Annual Memorial Day Fun Fest proved to be a knockout, so say the fifteen hundred enthusiasts who attended the festivities. The Port jefferson Band, dressed in pure white, pre- sented a thrilling spectacle as they paraded around the diamond. Throughout the afternoon they furnished excellent music. Shortly after one o'clock, one hundred and seventeen girls of the Port Jefferson High School, dressed in red, white, and blue capes with stars, gave an exhibition of marching and calisthenics which finally evolved into a hugh American flag. This tribute to Old Glory was most beautiful, and showed much hard work by those taking part under the direction of Miss Whitney. There were other interesting events to start the Fun Fest, a sock race, one hundred yard dashes, baseball throw, and an egg shuttle race. Many of the most dignified ladies of Port Jefferson, Mt. Sinai, and points east, assumed some of the most unusual pos- tures in their desperate attempts to win the 35.00 prize for their society. The Whatsoever club of the Baptist Church won the event, after mixing successfully six omelettes and a dozen scram- bled eggs! We always did like those Baptist Suppers. Then came the hit of the seasonf' the big league contest be- tween the formidable Joints and the mighty Lizzies. fNo of- fense, Mr. Fordj The final score was 11-7 in favor of R. C. Craft and H. N. Magill, the scorers. However, the press fFeldman and Glaserj called the game a tie, as the 'flointsi' had twice as many jerseys as the Lizzies, while the latter were unsurpassable in the skirt department. The big trouble with the game was the dis- tance between the bases, according to our fire chief. Oft times the Joints were caught off their guard, fiirting with several of the darlings on the opposing team. You'd be surprised at the charming ladies that H. Floyd, Malcolm Bartow, G. Woodard and Judge Dreyer make! When these two armies finally had decided their fate, the Mar- ried Men continued their feud on the Single Men, nevertheless, the Single Men won 7-4, as they still retained their fighting instinct to win, which is a lost talent to the married men. The game was called in the fourth inning because of rain. A minstrel show, presented by Dondero, Allen, Gaynor, Tut- hill, and Peterman pleased many with their clownish stunts. The school sold refreshments: hot dogs, cones and soda water, to those who desired to wet their palate. 67 Mfridl.-, - ... I ---1'- f-- --Af- . -- . Y l i, -wza Jli s l ilimsgafal lint!

Special teachers in health, music, art and physical education are employed. The regents' record fshown abovej, especially when it is understood that it has been made without eliminating students from examina- tions, together with the student activities shown in the Crystal, speak for the work of the faculty and students. It is the policy of the administration to maintain courses of study in a manner which is thoroughly consistent with modern edu- cational practice. Our kindergarten is one of the best on Long Island. Our school is organized on a six-six basis. Special pro- vision is made for the teaching of instrumental music throughout the entire school. There is no charge for this service, the school furnishing everything except the instrument. INVITATION Boys and girls not residing in Port Jefferson may register in the kindergarten upon application to the principal. The same op- portunity is offered in all grades above the sixth: A nominal tui- tion fee is charged. Students from districts not maintaining an academic department are cordially received at Port Jefferson High School, tuition in such cases is paid by the district in which the student resides. 69 w R N il Q 0 51 fx. xxkwv xx 'W-Q XXNRX X , S X 1, 'r L x : ' Xqff ,X--X J' 0 ' K 5 X A ! 5 if LQQX R VNS N 1. vu JKT f ra ff f-vw A 111:31 3 J Ku!k'fl1 sLLr-LJ..kQJjQ4.lAl...'j 7 ef- s-ff f .- lf K X e -he ! l f322H L Qffi1 Uhr Gull The warm sun of a balmy November day was nearing the zenith, when the bustling crowd of busy Manhattan halted in startled surprise, as factory and boat whistles, elevated railroad locomotives, fire engines and automobile horns blended as one, in a loud shriek against the pealing and tolling of every bell in the great city. It was just eleven o'clock. Bankers, business men, clerks and office workers stared at each other in questioning won- dermentg but by the time the great ball in the tower of the banking district had dropped to tell the waiting crowd that the midday hour had at last arrived, every one in that excited throng realized that an armistice, quelling the world's war had at last been signed. New troops and soldiers lately discharged from various hospitals in their khaki colored uniforms dotted the thoroughfares here and there. Night found the city ablaze with myriads of colored lights, waving streamers, and flags of the allied countries. Confetti in every form dangled and flew about the heads of the pedestriansg most of whom had already started to CELEBRATE. Wildest of all were the hundreds of college boys, who raced up and down the avenues, blowing horns, twirling crickets, and shouting at the top of their voices with an occasional shot in the air with their carefully hidden automatics. One of these shots going astray, as a medical student tried to dodge an oncoming policeman, struck a lately convalescent veteran on the forehead, as he approached from the opposite direction. Screams and hysterical shouts drew the at- tention from the culprit, who made a quick get-away, while the police hurried the injured man off to the hospital, where it was dis- covered that he would be totally blind. Days of tranquility soon followed the excitement of the armis- tice. Physicians, nurses, and people in general all devoted their time and energy to making the disabled soldiers happy and com- fortable. Nils Hopkins, now graduated from medical school, prac- ticing as an eye and ear specialist, was working on the unfortunate veterans who had been blinded in the war. Daily the tales of hor- ror and sufferings which these men unfolded to him, made him more and more determined to make a complete cure, wherever human effort was possible. Among those who came to him in the latter months of the first mad rush after the war, was a tall, hand- some lad by the name of Ivan Ruvenoif. He explained to the ever sympathetic physician that his blindness had not been a result of the War itself, but rather a consequence of the hilarious festivities of armistice night. While walking amidst the jostling crowd he 72 ,,.,,i - I- H -- 'V-?,...-Y 1 .1528 lli al ili 01.215121 had been critically shot by some careless, thoughtless reveller, who, never stopping to see what damage he had done, left him unconscious in the panic stricken mob, the offender never having been discovered up to the present time, though the police had long been on his track. A tremor ran through the physician's hands-a fixed, worried expression came over his usually pleasant face. Days, weeks, months chased each other within his muddled brain, each one had meant a sad story of one kind or another. Where had he heard this story before? Had he heard it?-the same haunting reality which had ever been present with him, since the night of the ar- mistice when he had so cowardly run from the scene of the shoot- ing, never daring to look back or to inquire about the damage he might have done. This man's blindness was without a doubt the result of the doctor's foolhardy hilarity. He had been afraid to give himself up then. He was afraid now-besides it would do no good. This man was hopelessly blind and he was the cause of it. What could he do for him? How atone for the damage he had done? He must keep on helping the alilicted, but he wanted this unfortunate man to enjoy a little of life's pleasures. A trip around the world would take months, even years, if he chose to be liberal with his vast fortune, which his father had bequeathed him, but a blind man could not travel alone, he reasoned to himself. He must find some one to go with him, whom he could pay to act as a guide, yet pretend to the sightless veteran that he was going on the trip to be the constant companion of the man, whom the doctor must find to employ. I'll have to pay Ivan Ruvenoff a salary also, said the doctor to himself, or he'll think there is something queer about my scheme, besides he is sure to need spending money. Long rest and a trip abroad will help you a lot, suggested the doctor persuasively. Impossible, replied the veteran. Not so fast, returned the doctor. If you haven't home ties to keep you, you're just the man I need to act as companion to Horace Astor, a wealthy patient of mine, who is about to take a trip around the world and wants a quiet educated man to accom- pany him. How about it? Will you go? Certainly I will, doctor, if you really mean it, he assented. And so the affair was at length settled, Ivan Ruvenoif and his companion started on a prolonged trip throough the generosity of Dr. Hopkins, who felt that in this manner, he was repaying in part the unlimited misfortune he had brought upon this ex-soldier. Four years later on another balmy November eleventh, Dr. 73 -152 i flrwl f Hopkins, hastily leaving his still crowded office, rushed for a North River pier, arriving just in time to see the great ocean liner, on which are Ivan Ruvenoff and Horace Astor-glide smoothly into her moorings. Among the first to descend the gang-plank are the physician's two friends. A friendly slap on the shoulder-a hearty clasp of the hand, and Dr. Hopkins' lips tremble with the words of confes- sion, which he has planned for many months to be the first words of greeting to the blind veteran. The burden has proven too great for his comfort and I'll make a clean breast of the whole thing if I ever meet Ruvenoff again is what he has been saying to him- self over and overg but just at that moment his chauffeur drove up unexpectedly. Horace Astor, as is his custom, assists the blind man to enterg the doctor following, with the long practiced con- fession still unspoken. Turning into West Street a momentary stop of the car affords the doctor an opportunity to again begin his confession. I've waited for your return, Ruvenoff, to tell you, that I know the man who shot you the night of the armistice. I wasi- Then, the clear notes of the bugle ringing out the call for the two minutes of silent meditation at eleven A. M. com- memorating the anniversay of the world's peace again halted the doctor's speech of self-conviction. Then came a jerk, a grind, a CRASH. The two minutes had elapsedg and the great steel truck which had been just ahead of them, releasing its brakes, backed down upon them with tremendous force, leaving a buckled mass of twisted steel and crushed humanity beneath it. Thus did Dr. Nils Hopkins pay heavily the toll exacted of him for the misery that he had brought upon this one lone man, who died with him in happy ignorance of the doctor's part in this tragedy. LILLIAN SHERIDAN, '29. llimmg John, said Susan Banks one Sunday evening as they were eating supper, I've been wondering if we couldn't invite Camilla's. oldest girl, Susan, to spend a few weeks with us this summer. Don't see why not, replied her husband as he helped him- self to a generous piece of strawberry shortcake. Last time I saw her was at her father's funeral, two years ago. She was quite a pretty kid then only she looked sort of old for her age. I guess she has to work pretty hard taking care of the kids and helping her mother. I reckon the country air would do her good. Yes, that's what I thought. And she's nice and quiet, too. The rest of the children are so noisy. I don't see how my sister stands them. But she ought to have had more sense than to marry 74 i l i a-1 I that good-for-nothing Irishman, Dennis Blake, and have six chil- dren by him. Let me see, the oldest boy, Dennis Junior, is seven- teen and then there's Susan, Elizabeth, James, Mary Ann and Wil- liam. My land! I should think she's be sorry she ever fell in love with Dennis Blake-just because he had blue eyes and black hair and could sing like an angel. But I guess she didn't think so much of him when she found that he drank, though she did say that he was awful kind to her and the children. And so it was decided that Miss Susan Blake of New York City should visit her relatives' home in western Connecticut. The invitation was duly sent and within a week the answer came, say- ing that the girl would arrive Tuesday afternoon on the 4:15. At the appointed time, John Banks was waiting at the station in his second-hand Ford. But there was no young girl among the passengers who got off at the little country station. The only stranger was a little, black-haired boy carrying an old, much worn valise. Seeing that his niece had not arrived, Banks was about to start when he noticed the little boy standing on the platform as if he were waiting for someone. There was something strangely familiar about the small, shabby figure with the black, curly hair and wide open, slightly frightened eyes. Say, he queried suddenly, You ain't one of the Blake kids, are you? Yes, sir, I'm Jimmy Blake, responded the boy instantly with an evident sigh of relief. And I guess you are Uncle John, only I hadn't seen you in such a long time that I wasn't exactly sure what you looked like. But I remember that wart on your nose. Oh, you do, do you P asked his uncle. Well, supposing you jump in the car now so we can get started. Here, you'd better let me put that valise in the car, hadn't you? It looks pretty heavy for a kid like you. I can manage it, replied Jimmy, dumping the valise in the car and seating himself on the front seat. It looks heavy but it ain't 'cause I havn't gotmany clothes. Oh, I see, Banks said as he started the car. But how is it that you're up here instead of your sister ? Well, you see Susie has to stay home 'cause Willie and Mary and Ann have got the measles and I've just got over 'em so Ma sent me along 'stead of Susie. She said she thought you wouldn't mind and the country air would do me good. Banks chuckled as he wondered what his wife would say when she saw that he had brought home Jimmy instead of Susan. However, when Susan Banks learned that Jimmy was to be their guest she did not say anything but she secretly resolved that his visit would not be long. 75 ,. , Y ,...4- Q., ,. ,..,-- i l She certainly found plenty of excuses for sending jimmy home within the next few days for he was anything but an angel. They sent him to bed one night without his supper because he had been caught smoking one of his uncle's cigars. Since it was his first attempt at smoking he did not miss his supper. After it had grown dark he climbed out of his bedroom window and easily de- scended to the ground by way of an apple tree which grew con- veniently near the window. When the Wilsons, who had been spending the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Banks, came out of the house, old Mrs. Wilson was so frightened by the sight of Jimmy's white nightshirt as he hastily ducked behind a tree, that she fell and did considerable damage to the dozen eggs which Mr. Banks had just sold her. As a result of his prank, jimmy spent the next morning in the house. But he improved his time so well that his aunt was glad to give him permission to go outdoors in the afternoon, after making him promise to behave himself. Jimmy tried not to get into mischief but the fates were against him. Of course he should not have been swinging over the gate of the pig pen as he watched the old sow and her nine young ones. But he did not expect the old pig to rush suddenly against the swinging gates and throw him head first into the mire while she made a bolt for freedom, followed by the little pigs. Nor did he know that his uncle would come out of the barn at this particular moment, with two brimming pails of warm milk. The mother pig and her nine off-spring intercepted Mr. Banks' progress with the result that he took an unexpected milk bath. jimmy again went to bed minus his supper. But in spite of Jimmy's mischief-loving nature there was some- thing endearing about him that made his uncle and aunt love him in spite of themselves. His emotions were very near the surface He was as easily moved to tears as to laughter. One moment his Irish blue eyes would be twingling with laughter, the next they would be filled with tears. His uncle and aunt easily forgave Jimmy because he was so ready to forgive himself. Then, too, the fact that they had never had any children of their own helped influence them to adopt their nephew. Jimmy himself was entirely satisfied, for he greatly pre- ferred the farm to the tenement house in which the Blake family lived in the city. When Susan visited her uncle's farm in the fall, Jimmy said to her: Gee, Susie, but I'm glad it was me 'stead of you that Ma sent up here last June. .

The sun, now a blazing ball of fire, starts to sink slowly in the vast western horizon, to leave our hemisphere in dusky shadows, but to light another in the gold of early morning. The sky, still a blue sap- phire, is streaked with such crimson and purple and gold, that one would almost believe an artist's entire possession of colors had been splashed in the sun's wake. Evening, fast approaching, will leave us protected still by blue skies, but those of midnight blue, fiecked here and there with many stars, like tiny lanterns hung out to guide us through the night. BETTY HANCOCK, '29, Ennis In the days before the Civil War New Bedford was the most noted of the many thriving ports along the New England coast. It was at her quays the famous old five mast schooners tied up during their brief visits home. In that town even today we find descendants of the sturdy men who followed the code of the sea and sailed those beautiful old ships in quest of whales. Lincoln's call for aid in '61 was answered by many such men and therefore a number of those schooners lay idle. After the close of the war, pleasure craft appeared and yachting became one of the sports of the day on a small scale. Port Jefferson was then one of the lead- ing shipbuilding centers on the island and some of the largest yachts in the world wintered there. . 77 ' Eli li l fle w 4 y l !

After the war automobiles came into use for sporting and American waters were scantily filled with boats, but today people are tired of the crowded highways and turn once more to the free and open sea. From the tiny bright colored catboat of inland waters to the beautiful sailing craft of the deep, from the handy outboard motor- boats to the floating palaces of the wealthy, we find a new era in the history of navigation. What is more graceful than a beautiful schooner yacht cutting the white capped waves at full speed with her sails filled with the morning breeze and a fine spray breaking over her bow? In the thrilling few minutes of the intercollegiate races we see behind the fine rhythmic sweep of the oars, the me- chanical movement of the oarsmen and the knife-like progress of the shells, weeks of training, clean living and sportsmanship. A few summers ago the yacht clubs named Port Jefferson as an overnight port during the interclub yacht races in Long Island Sound. Never had our harbor presented a more beautiful spec- tacle, never had it been so full of boatsg bearing the appearance of a regatta. By night one saw hundreds of lighted boats and the red and green running lights darting to and fro, one heard the hum of the tender's motors, by daylight the hurried chores of scrubbing decks, the hoisting of sails, the starting of engines, the weighing of anchors and the racers filing down the bay to the Sound to continue on their quest for beautiful trophies, the pleasure craft following with eager spectators. Of all the annual shows held at the Grand Central Palace the motorboat show was one of great interest. On the first floor the beautiful mahogany express cruisers used by wealthy brokers to commute between their summer estates and New York offices, the long slender runabouts, water cars and sedans were placed. The sea sleds, which present a brilliant spectacle in action, found a prominent part at the show, as well as the cabin cruisers and play- boys. On the other two floors were engines, boat accessories and small launches, catboats, speed boats of the outboard motor type, all representative of a brilliant future for yachting. Boats have come back, they are popular, and will become more so. They have had a wonderful and eventful history and stand as an emblem of sportsmanship. May the United States win the laurels in this phase of sports that she has won in others. ARNOLA ROSE, '29, 78 152, WASHINGTON TRIP I i i i ! I I .l'I fHiQKf-ilhl Uhr Glnrinua Ahumturr On Monday morning, April eighth, we pulled out on the express for the twelfth annual Easter Tour conducted by Long Island High Schools. In addition to the members of the Senior Class, were Mr. Vandermeulen, leaderg Miss Sorensen, chaperone, Mrs. Vandermeulen, Mr. and Mrs. Kiessling, Miss Hartnett, Miss Laughton and Miss Thompson. On the train to New York were several of our alumni friends, so that part of the journey passed quickly with cards and pleasantries. After an hour's wait, we embarked on a special train for Wash- ington. Port jefferson and Northport shared the car next to the engine, so we could not open the windows. Upon reaching Washington we went directly to our hotel, the Driscoll, where we prepared ourselves to go to the Congressional Library in the evening. The Congressional Library is indeed a glorious spectacle at night. The beautiful mosaics and the marble staircases are shown off to their best advantage. There were no guides, so each brow- sed around to his heart's content in the part which interested him most. Here we saw the originals of the Declaration of Independ- ence and the Constitution of the United States. There was also a very good collection of Pennell's charcoal drawings and sketches. The group then scattered and visited various movie theaters. Tuesday morning began with a visit to the Capitol through which we were shown by guides. Following this we toured Wash- ington in sight-seeing busses, and made a brief stay at the Lincoln Memorial, a most beautiful and impressive structure. After lunch we set out in trolleys for Arlington, where we visited the Arlington National Cemetery, with its memorial amphi- theater and tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Custis Lee Mansion, from which we obtained a never-to-be-forgotten view of the Nation's Capitol. We then resumed our trolley journey and went to Alexandria, where we visited Christ Church, which Wash- ington and Lee attended, and then started for Mount Vernon. Just as we arrived there it began to rain, so we could not see so much of the beautiful estate as we had hoped. After spending Z short time there, we returned to Washington on a Potomac River oatQ Steps! steps! and more steps! Wednesday morning we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where we enjoyed watch- ing paper money and stamps in the making. The State War and Navy Building was next in line, where we shook hands with Mr. Stimson, the Secretary of State. After a short time in the Pan 81 il..?il llEL ,ii'-a a i si ili ii American Building we climbed the Washington Monument, made a brief stop at the New National Museum, and climbedato the dome of the Capitol. After so much exercise, most of us went to shows that afternoon, after stopping at the annex of the Smithsonian Institute to see The Spirit of St. Louis. Thursday morning we went through the Corcoran Art Gal- lery and the White House, after which we scattered, some to the Martha Washington Candy Shop, some to revisit buildings which had been of especial interest. In the afternoon we took a char- tered bus to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, where we watched the midshipmen drill. We also visited the sarcophagus of John Paul Jones in the Academy Chapel. After these exciting and eventful four and a half days, the Class of 1929, together with leaders, chaperones, baggage and sou- venirs embarked for the Quaker City. After three hours of idle prattle accompanied by the consumption of huge amounts of Mar- tha Washington chocolates, Philadelphia was finally reached, and we were duly installed in the Bellevue Stratford, Philadelphia's finest hotel. At eight A. M. Saturday we sallied forth via bus to acquaint ourselves with the statues of William Penn, the beautiful Fair- mount Park, Independence Hall, etc. Two hours were spent sight- seeing. During that 'time we visited the Betsy Ross house, the Centennial grounds and the few remaining buildings that had been constructed for the Exposition, the Curtis Publishing Company Building, the grave of Benjamin Franklin, the new art museum, the City Hall and the Washington Monument. We abandoned the bus in front of Independence Hall and spent some time in viewing the birthplace of the Constitution. Here, also, were many relics of the Colonial period. We next paid a visit to the john Wanamaker Department Store, where we obtained a fine view of the city from the roof, then, after listening to the famous pipe organ, the largest in the world, we consumed a very fine luncheon in the Crystal dining room. Immediately following this we returned to the Bellevue Stratford, and after collecting our bags, we left for New York. Upon our arrival in that great metropolis, we became engaged in something of a discussion as to which movie we would choose prior to our dinner and the evening's performance. It was finally agreed to visit Loew's State, after which we hurriedly indulged in dinner, and shortly after found ourselves in the Empire Theater, with the curtain rising for the opening act of The Age of Inno- cence, starring Katherine Cornell. At 11:37 we headed for Long Island and home! We arrived in old Port Jeff at an early hour Sunday morning, tired but ex- tremely happy, having completed a most enjoyable week. 82 4 , W f 1 I 'r is u V 4 'E 1 U ll v5 lvflqi IV Z Q, 'W ff NA sy 'EF 0 ' 5 I Xf- ,..-.

No, it is a teacher. How like the Mad Hatter she looks. Hush, she may hear you, and then will make you work. Teachers do not like little boys and girls who do not work.

N o Bears Wanted The applicant for the place of cook was rather untidy in ap- pearance and insolent in manner. Don't engage her, whispered Smith to his wife, I don't like her looks. But, remonstrated Mrs. Smith, just consider the reputation for cooking she bears. That doesn't matter, said Smith, testily, we don't want any she bears cooked.

Alfred Anderson-I don't know, I thought you were keeping score. john Reboli, when he was ushered into dinner the first day at the Hotel Driscoll, was surprised at the number of people, as well as the vastness of the dining room. He was equally surprised to see that each person had a printed account of his dinner before him, and that each one, as he thought, ate according to directions. He was quite hungry, and well he might be after waiting three hours over his usual time, so he attaked the head of the bill with vigor, and ate down as far as he could, but soon came to a stand. just then someone on his right requested the waiter to bring him some oyster pie, which our friend heard, and instantly referred to his list to see where it was. Whatl, exclaimed he in aston- ishment, turning to his neighbor, are you all the way down there! Why, I have only got to roast beef, and I feel already as if I would burst.
