The Freshies and Sophs tie for the honor of being the best athletes in the school. May 8fThe Grades celebrate Child Health Day. Many parents come to watch their children take part in the festivities, which in- clude a beautiful pageant, The Crowning of the May Queen . IO-A real Indian Chief, Monobozo of the Mohawk tribe, enter- tains the High School in a special assembly. His War whoops are most realistic. 15-ULU' girls distinguish themselves in tennis as Gin Dreyer defeats Babylon representatives in singles and Gen,' Spurga and Marguerite Heatly prove too great a match for the Babylon team of doubles. 17-More money pours into the school treasury. The Movie Ben- elit is presented at Glynn's Port Jefferson Theater. 24-l'ort's nine ends an exciting game with Smithtown, and the score ends on the right side of the balance, 17-16. 25fS1JCH.klI'1g of money-making abilityg the eighth grade displays its skill at its annual food sale.

Eight contestants speak at the Annual Prize Speaking Contest. Roberta Murry, Williani Godfrey, Betty Hancock, Thomas Newton, and l-larry Purvis are the winners. june 37ThTCC Cheers for Old Port jeff.

Juniors are initiated into Senior dignity. -Regents are written in the heat! Even Regents are made bearable by all the service rendered. The most popular part of the whole week was the lemonade supplied to the many weary souls by the constant stream of faculty members, up one row and down another fllling cups. Mr. Keissling con- trols the supply and demand and since there is a large quantity supplied, the demand is equally as great! We hear whispers that some are willing to take Regents oftener. 19 Il t1J..llllf41ftm.1Il! lsolill 0-Third Annual Fun Fest.

Rev. Irving Smith preaches a sermon directed to those on the threshold of new experiences. Special music by the choir is most delightful. 24-Stage in the auditorium resembles a graveyard. The Seniors give us their past history, statistics, and prophecy for the Junior Class as they conduct their own funeral at Class Night. This occasion is always popular with the Juniors be- cause they feel as though the school is theirs without re- sistance. 25fGraduation! More dreams fulfilled and all the Seniors are pres- ent in gala array. Dr. VV. G. Purdy, pastor of Grace Presby- terian Church of Montclair, N. -I., gives a powerful message entitled Giants , in which we learn that even the smallest of us may be giants in some way! Dr. Irving Smith of I'ort Jefferson gives the Invocation. Of the Seniors, Betty Han- cock gives the Salutation and Ruth Smith is the Valedic- torian. The Class Song at Commencement always produces thrills and no uncertain signs of grief, but the Student Organ- ization prizes clear the horizon. The award of S375 is given to Ruth Smith, who has earned 53 pointsg and S50 goes to Betty Hancock with 50 points. These are claimed as our most valuable students. The crowning event is the presenta- tion of diplomas, when the Seniors are absolutely certain of graduation. A happy night! The prettiest picture of the occa- sion is the daisy chain, made by the Juniors, through which the Seniors march triumphant! 5-The auditorium is a riot of color-and later, of noise. About sixty couples attend the Senior Ball and add their gay pres- ence to the already gay background. The decorations show much hard work. The jubilant couples dance to the tunes of the Ambassador Inn Orchestra. Other tunes are made by the whistles and blowers which, with balloons and hats are happy favors.

As a result of her friend- liness for everyone and her good nature she has made many friends in Port Ich' High. Because of her lack of height she has been given the nickname Shrimp.' She has taken part in the various activ- ities of the school and she was also given a part in the play, Sh! Not So Loud, which she played to perfection. Here's something that maybe you didn't know about, Harriet, she is a good pianist.

G 'GE BAK EOR The force of his own merit makes his way. George's dramatic ability, coupled with his powerful voice has proven to be a valuable asset, when the time for the High School Play comes round. His voice can also often be heard spurring on a wor11 out and discouraged team to renew their efforts and bring glory to old Port Jeff. But this is not all. VVhat would we do every Thursday noon between 12:15 and 12:45 without George and his banjo? 'So here's to you, George may your voice e're retain its strength and your lingers their dex- terity.

Last January she completed her High School course and we lost a scintillat- ing Senior too, but here she is back for graduation. Margaret is the kind of a girl everyone likes, never a clark cloud on her radiant lace. As for dignity-well a look at this picture will establish your own opinion. As a result of her popularity she was elected l'resident for Phi Delta Sigma in her Senior year. Margaret is also an accomplished pianist and we hope she may always be most successful.

Doris comes to us from that great metropolis of Miller Placeg great because it gave us Doris. She has gay sparkling eyes and is just bubbling over with irresistible mirth.

Miller At the beginning of the school year an unusual type of elec- tion for l'ort Jefferson High School was held at which the officers listed above were elected. One of the regular Thursday morning assemblies was turned over to the students, who held a regular nominating convention, over which Dorothy Lee presided as chair- man. The students gave nominating and seconding speeches and everything was carried on in strict parliamentary manner. Indeed, the nominees were ceremoniously escorted to the platform by the speakers. Then a ballot form was made out and a few days later everyone voted by strictly secret ballot, with the above result. The officers elected also make up a part of the Student Council, and their pictures are featured with the above organization. The Student Organization has now been in existence for three years. This, it's third year of functioning, has been one of great success, with approximately ninety per cent membership of the student body. The dues of the senior and junior high schools are the same as last year, 33.50 and 32.50 respectively. A plan has been adopted by which the students may pay for their tickets more easily, that is, an initial payment of 55.50 at the opening of the year, and 3.15 per week thereafter until the payment is completed. This installment plan has been highly approved by all students, a small payment weekly seems to leave sufficient nickels and dimes for our noon candy sales and as the latter is also immensely beneficial in swelling our school funds, We heartily endorse this method of payment. All students belonging to the Organization are admitted on their tickets to any high school activity occurring during the cur- rent year. This plan has proved very successful for we find a much greater percentage of the student body attending the various games and entertainments than there would be otherwise. All other school organizations before duly recognized must be sanctioned by the Student Organization. It is a body truly repre- sentative of l'ort Jefferson High School and it upholds the true spirit of Port Jeff to the utmost. 46 STUDENT COUNCIL l L11 lllIfe1f.,.4..1lllI lsol Il 4 btuhent Glnuucil Last year the Student Organization was formed to take the place of the Athletic Association of former years, while the Student Council replaced the Senate. The members of the Student Council include the head officers of some of the most important organizations within the school. They are the presidents of the four classes, the president of the Student Organization, the editors-in-chief of the Crystal and the l'urple Parrot, the leading olificers in both the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, the coaches and captains of all athletic teams, and the prin- cipal of the school. It is required that those who serve on the Stu- dent Council be members of the Student Organization. The Student Council was organized for the purpose of decid- ing certain matters pertaining to the student body. It fixes the basis for all rewards given for excellence in scholarships and for participation in athletics. It also determines who shall receive these rewards. All proposed clubs and other organizations must receive the sanction of this council before they may become a part of Port jefferson High School. In the future, the school plays before being staged must receive the approval of the council. In all, the council renders decisions on a great many matters concerning the students, but it does not concern itself with any disciplinary problems. According to the laws of the Student Council, any student who wishes to receive letters for participation in sports must be a mem- ber of the Student Organization. In order to be eligible for the Most Valuable Student award one must not only belong to the Student Organization but one must have belonged to it during his entire high school career. And last but not least, no Senior may go to Vifashington until he has paid all dues belonging to this im- portant organization. The council decided that the scale to be used as a basis for awarding letters for participation in athletics should be Q0 percent for Freshmen, 80 percent for Sophomores, 70 percent for Juniors, and 60 percent for Seniors. That is, the Freshmen shall have par- ticipated in Q0 percent of the league games before they may receive letters, the Sophomores in So percent and so on. The Student Council is really a democratic achievement. It enables the students to take part in the direction of the affairs of the school and in the awarding of honors. 48 iBurpIz iBarrnt .Xt the beginning of Fehruary 1930, the meinlmers ul' the Senior stall' uf the l'urple l'arrwt put asifle their wld ancl much-usecl pens tu make ruruni for the new stallf.

The fuundatiun uf the play was the puzzling' rwbbery uf Miss 'l'ate's emeralds. lrenc Newberry gave a faultless interpretation uf the excitable wld maid, Miss Tate. 'l'he rule uf Kitty Penrose, Miss Tatels niece, was charmingly lilled by lluris llartuw. The part ol' the learned llishup was capably portrayed by Harry l'urx'is. Mar- garet Lowry, as his wife, acted with all the puise and dignity of a true l1ishop's wife. Ned Sheldun, the llishop's nephew, loved Kitty Penrose. Since Miss Tate disapproved of Ned the latter persuaded Ralturd, a refwrmed crunk, tu steal Miss 'l'ate's emeralds su that he, Ned, could stage a fake light with the suppnsed cruel: and recover the gems in urder to gain Miss Tatels favor. llaul Smith, as Ned Sheldon, and XYilliam Zalias, as Ratl'urcl, both acted with great skill. Harriet ,Xrehambault, as jenny, the maid and Rall'urcl's sweet- heart, was excellent. Clyde Melendy's portrayal of lmclce, the despised cunstable, was admirable. 57 Ill isor Il GYM NIGHT I ll I llllqlfnfialllli I50l ll bpm jante Our annual Gym Nite this year was in the form of opening nite of a new theatre. Everything was done to make it give the appear- ance of such, a box office, pages, screen and ushers. Ernest Hopkins, the manager of the theatre, delivered an ap- propriate speech of greeting, after which an interesting travel pic- ture was given. Richard Darling did the announcing and was fine. Then came a delghtful Al Jolson picture starring Joseph Minnlield who pleased all with his antics. Next in order was the Fathe News which gave us some fine slow motion news of the Fort-Jeff-Sayville football game. Then the big headliner of the evening! A one hun- dred percent talkie entitled The Great Pajama Case. Never before had this spectacular trial picture been shown on Long Island. The cast included Ruth Anderson, Irene Newberry, Anna Tuthill, Helena Dorr, Margaret Lowry, Betty Leonard, Betty Dickerson, Frances McDowell, Dorothy Furick and Helen Davis. After the completion of the picture, Ernest Hopkins, on behalf of the cast, presented Miss E. Vkfhitney with a bouquet and thanked her for her work in making Gym Nite a success. This was ,followed by an overture by the High School Orchestra after which the vaudeville began. The first act was a clever pantomime, The Toy Shop, in which a number of children took part. Next came Joseph and his trained dogs, who did many astonishing things. Paul Smith, Olive Darling, and Marge VVarner were in this act. The Kris Kringle Klowns, Irene Krause, Marion Gaynor, Helen Lowry and Ruby Vest, then entertained us with some graceful dancing. Following this, Irene Newberry attempted to broadcast a prize fight but mingled her broadcasting with some amusing songs and anecdotes which were not the least bit appreciated by Ernest Hopkins and Doris Bartow, an usher, whose attempts to stop Miss Newberrv's performance greatly amused the audience. The next feature on the program was an acrobatic act during which Helen Hewlett, Char- lotte NValker, Grace Glock, Gladys Fowler, Ruth Carlton, Rita Burke, Anna Butera and Carol Davis accomplished many remark- able feats. Professor Knowsall Bumworkski, otherwise Alf Ander- son, exhibited some of his remarkable powers of magic. This was followed by an excellent song and dance act featuring Olive Darling, Marion Petty and Irene Newberry. The last act was an ushers' drill well executed by Vivian Thompson, Ethel Baldwin, Phyllis Conger, Ada Oettinger, Dorothy Lee, Doris Bartow, Lillian Pendle? ton and Mabel Connors. Many thanks are due to the orchestra whose music was especially line. Thanks are also due E. Whitney, Mr. Kiess- ling, Miss Hosley, Mrs. VVallace, Frank Robbins, Douglas Bartow and all others who helped in any way to put it across. 59 OPERETTA . 1,-jr l tl! llllillmfalllll ISO! ll QBperetta XVith a goregous stage setting and melodious strains of the orchestra the operetta, Tulip Time , was a most beautiful and most enjoyable affair. The scene is the Dutch village of Osendorf. It is tulip timev in Holland, and many of these beautiful flowers are on display. NVhile the villagers are enjoying a holiday a party of American tourists arrives to see the tulips. This party includes Professor McSpindle, a botany teacher, and two young students, Ned Baxter and Dick Warren. VVilliam Davis as the professor, Paul Smith as Ned, and Lawrence Gaynor as Dick displayed great ability as actors and singers. While Ned and Dick are supposed to be studying flowers they are making love to the pretty Dutch maidens, Chris- tina and Katinka. Ethel joynes' sweet voice and charming manner made Christina a fascinating Dutch girl. Katinka's role, as por- trayed by Margaret Lowrey, was truly delightful. Professor McSpindle does not approve of the young students' interest in the Dutch girls. Consequently, he attempts to break up the love affairs. Annoyed by his interference Ned and Dick plan to get rid of the Professor. It seems that someone has been stealing valuable tulip bulbs. The two youths persuade the Professor to dress according to the description of the thief. VVhen the village Burgomaster sees McSpindle dressed thus he has him arrested. The part of the Burgomaster, Hendrick Van Ooster, was played by Clyde Melendy. Clyde's portrayal of this character afforded a great deal of amusement and was very cleverly done. The Burgo- master tries to swindle Christina by offering to buy, at a price much below its value, some stock left to her by her father. Ned convinces Christina that her stock is very valuable and she refuses to sell it. In the meantime, the real tulip thief has been caught. Christina's Aunt Anna helps to prove Professor McSpindle,s innocence. McSpindle, having fallen in love with her, proposes marriage. Irene Newbery acted the part of Aunt Anna with the ability for which she has become noted. Thus the Professor, as Well as the students, loses his heart while in Holland. The part of Hans, a Dutch youth, was amusingly and skill- fully played by Harry Purvis. A notable feature of this entertain- ment was the lovely dance of Gretchen, otherwise Olive Darling. The members of the chorus, too, with their ,gay costumes and spirited singing helped to make Tulip Time a performance to be remembered. 61 ll l9i llllillwwllll l5Dl Il iBri5z bpzaking Qtuntest of 1929 The oratorical contest of 1929 which was held on Friday even- ing, May 31, was an exceedingly line one, and attracted the most appreciative of audiences. After the High School orchestra had played its first number, Bohemian Girl by VV. Balfe, the following oratoricals were given: Roberta Murry- A Little Lie Or Two by Howard Vincent O'Brieng Harry Furvis- The Yarn of the Nancy Belle -Anonymous, Helen Nitsche- The Frisoner's Plea WAdoptedg Donald Floyd-- After the Battle by James Dawson. Ruth Smith then played a piano solo entitled Lieberstraum by Liszt. The program continued with two selections by the Girls, Glee Club, My Task -E. L. Ashford and XVake, Miss Lindy P- H. NV. NVarren. The following oratoricals were then given: Irene Newberry- A Legend of Service by Henry Van Dykeg William Godfrey- Views of the Statue by Fred Emerson Brooks, Betty Hancock! Commencement by Sarah Winter Kellogg, and Thom- as Newton4 The First Settler's Story by Will Carleton. The judges for the contest were: Mrs. H. B. Fullerton of Setauket, Principal P. M. Proctor of Patchogue, and Principal G. I yon of Smithtown. Their decision gave Roberta Murry first prize for the girls, Betty Hancock second prize for the girls, William Godfrey first prize for the boys, and since Thomas Newton and Harry Purvis tied for second place, each received a prize. The donor of these prizes was Editor Scherer of the Port Jefferson Echo. We are grateful to Mr. Scherer for sponsoring this contest in our school, for it is indeed a worth while educational feature. The program concluded with Mozart's Minuet by the orches- tra, and a final selection by the Girls' Glee Club entitled Lullaby and Goodnight . The orchestra played the exit march Cup VVin- ner and so the evening came to an end. 39cm Burk Times Qllnntest ' The speeches for the New York Times Contest of 1929 were given in chapel on Thursday, March 28. Those who participated in this contest were: Betty Hancock, Lillian Sheridan, and Roberta Murry. Miss Murry who spoke on, The Citizen, His Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution , was chosen as winner by a committee of teachers appointed by Mr. Vandermuelen. This con- test was held in order to determine who should represent our school in the semi-finals. In the semi-finals at Patchogue the following people spoke: Roberta Murry, Port Jedersong Carl Horton, Huntington, Jere Sullivan, Northportg Slechta, Patchogueg and Elizabeth Shafer from Riverhead. Elizabeth Shafer was awarded first place, Jere Sullivan second, and Slechta third. 62 KINDERGARTEN l Ill llslfwwlll I50l l l ll ll I The iBnrt Eletfzrsnn Iaigb Schunl It is the policy of the administration of Port Jefferson High School to have the courses of study consistent with modern educa- tional principles. With this in mind the Port jefferson School System is divided into three distinct yet closely corellated unitsa Kindergarten, Elementary fgrades one to sixj and Junior-Senior High School Qgrades six to twelvej. ln other words We have a one- six-six system. Beginning with the first year of Junior High School, promotion is by subject rather than by grade. The economy and educational efficiency of this system is readily realized when one considers that older systems often require the passing of geography in grade seven as a prerequisite to any eighth grade work. Thus a boy or girl might have been successful in all his work except geography and failing it, was forced to repeat all his seventh grade work. Practice at Port Jefferson advances the pupil in all subjects except those in which he fails, hence in the case cited the pupil would take eighth grade subjects and repeat geographey in grade seven. The same principle applies in each year of high school where even greater economy and efficiency are found through a system of term pro- motions. There are few schools in Suffolk County where this system is as extensively practised as in Port Jefferson High School. Thus the student in Caesar may find the first term of second year Latin too diflicult. What happens? Instead of penalizing him, the class and the teacher by forcing him to continue through the entire year and then start all over again the following year, he starts all over again with the beginning of the second semester. Gf course this method of promotion has long been in use in city and large rural schools. Itlis mentioned here because it is unusual to find it in the average ac ool. The individual needs of each student are always the immediate concern of the Port Jefferson faculty. In the first place a program is arranged to meet the requirements of each student. This is in contrast to a system whereby a program is set up from which the student arranges his schedule. Beginning next September an effort will be made to organize a high school band. Preliminary Work has already been done, in that several boys and girls have now had a year of instruction on band instruments. The picture on Page 66 gives at a glance an idea of the work done this year. These boys and girls are receiving regular instruction during school hours. This instruction is free and will be continued. Each pupil furnishes his own instrument. After the high school band has been organized, the same procedure will be followed. Regents credits may be earned through regular attendance in either the band or orchestra or both. 64 ll tl i llllfgfwalllll l50l ll FACULTY The faculty of the Port jefferson school consists almost ex- clusively of Normal school and college graduates. Special teachers in health, music, art and physical education are employed. An un- usual regents' record Cwithout eliminationsj during the past de- cade, together with student activity shown in The Crystal speaks for the work of the faculty and students. A modern school is a community in itself. Conditions of Work should approximate actual life situations outside the class room. Formal marching to and from classes may look pretty, but there is little marching of the military type in everyday life. Students go to and from classes with only the discipline of the background of a civilized community. The day of securing discipline by rule and rod is past. The day of individual responsibility has arrived. INVITATION Boys and 'girls not residing in l'ort Jefferson may be registered in the kindergarten upon application to the principal. The same opportunity is offered in all grades above the sixth. A nominal tuition 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.

MY f paris 67 ll 19l 31914211 Qthletics in the iBast Long years ago, P. had star athletic teams and they won games, not merely moral victories! ln those days of old when knights were bold, our boys were real he-men with plenty of muscle and our girls were modest little maidens. But they knew their basketball and many a country championship was won in those dark ages, the girls in 1923-24 and 1925-26, the boys a sec- tional championship in 1926-27. A line record! Also in '23 and ,2Q, our tennis doubles team won the county championship and also in ,29 our girls won first place in the county track meet at Patchogue. Comparatively recently, football was started in ,27 and girls' soccer in '28 and the spirit with which these have been developed is cer- tainly a credit to the school. Coming down to the present then, we really must admit that our team spirit is still line and old l'ort is better than ever. Qthletirs in the Jfuture Thanks to the Board of Education, Mr. Vandermuelen, and the taxpayers, Port Jefferson High School has much to look for- ward to in athletics. A new field--one of our dreams-is at last realized in the form of the Plant Hotel property. A real athletic field has been badly needed and the announcement of the purchase of this property was hailed with boundless joy throughout the entire school. It will be used for football, baseball, soccer and other activities of the school. An archery course may be laid out and a track constructed around the field. It will surely be a huge asset in future athletics and will supply incentive to spur our teams to victory. Q Both boys' and girls' teams appear very hopeful for the imme- diate future. As our Seniors leave vacancies, we call upon under- classmen and the grades. There are some next year's teams which will rely on underclassmen and the grades for the majority. In fact, the grades constitute our future varsities, and by careful early training-such as the daily consumption of gallons of milk-we are doing our best to produce bigger and better teams. One can conclude that with a splendid arena for future con- tests both players and spectators will thrill with enthusiastic sports- manship. 68 ll 1501 I ff 26 gl ' 1 I . ,K ' .Y Q 4 f Qi Z, - , 1- ,, QL 1, W, 1 xii Y-W .Sz V Mr k 4, xirzxyyzv ix ff 'N -Q fl iw f Q ff?

This season has been the best yet in football. After losing two games with no score on our side-one against the championship eleven of Patchogue-Port managed to score one touchdown in the Amityville game. The first two games at Pat- chogue and Huntington netted scores of 24-O and 19-0 respectively. Nevertheless in the game with the former, the champs were held scoreless during the first half. It was not until the latter part of the third quarter that our much heavier and more experienced oppo- nents secured their first touchdown. Time and time again they threatened to score and only the courageousness and spirit of our worthy team held them back. At last the pigskin was barely pushed over the line. Another touchdown, following a bad break ended the third quarter. A hard struggle was fought during the last quarter but our opponents broke through the line twice ending with a score of 2A-O. At Amityville, however, with a score of 20-O and a few min- utes to play, a run around right end from center field gained a touch- down making the game very exciting. The next game brought better luck as we played Sayville to the tune of 12-6. At the Bay Shore game our opponents managed to get the first touchdown but a forward pass tied the score. The game was lost by a blocked kick which gave the other team a touch- back making a final 8-6. At the last game of the season, played at VVesthampt0n, Port gained her greatest victory. VVith a few loyal supporters our team fought its way to a triumphant I9-7. Thus the season ended in a very commendable manner. Schedule P. J. Opp. Sept. 28 Huntington at P. .. 0 I9 Oct.

After all, a good sports- man is what counts. Through sickness, accidents and other sorrows ful mishaps a number of players were barred from participating. XVith two regulars the team strove through a rather hard season winning but one game with the alumni. However neither this fact nor the scores can give a true account of the excitement and close- ness of some of the games. Since P. J. H. S. is the only member of our basketball league who also participates in football there is less time for practice. NVhen the first game came around it found Port unprepared and at a disadvantage. By showing the old Port light we were able to keep our opponents worried until the final whistle blew. The score was very close to that time when East Islip rallied and by accurate shooting finally defeated us 30-18. The Smithtown game proved to be another very interesting contest as this team was our close rival. The score persisted in see- sawing up and down neither team gaining more than a 2-point lead. Both sides missed shots frequently due to the excitement and tension of the game. When the final whistle blew our team was found lacking three points, the score being I3-IO. The games with Islip, Lindenhurst and the return game of Smithtown were also very thrilling and interesting. The first two were played on the home court and the opposing teams having the advantage in height, forged ahead and maintained the lead through- out the games. In the second game with Smithtown, Port still hold- ing memories of the last game was confidently looking forward to victory. However, it seemed that the players couldn't get started. Again, as in the previous game each side missed often but finally Smithtown succeeded in downing Port for the second time. The members of the team were encouraged after the Babylon game. This was a line contest. Port held the lead up to the last minute when, with much against them the boys were finally de- feated 22-18. Babylon had about the best team of the league this year and after all, the season was not a failure. We predict great prospects and development in the future with the never failing co-operation of our excellent coach, Mr. Kiessling. We have faith in the hopes of our coach and sincerely wish that the future may bring many high lights. 72 Ill! Iso! Il ll WSI NIIQI mffiaill l50l Dee.

There were only three experienced players, all the rest being new. However, the new men proved very good to work with as is shown by the fact that P. J. H. S. won four out of ten games and that two of the remaining were very close. The first game of the season was on April 26th when Islip came to Port jefferson and defeated our purple and white. It was a true pitchers' duel between Dondero and Sinder, the final score being 8-4. The following weeks our boys traveled to Smithtown and re- ceived a second defeat of 12-I. Port fought hard but in vain. Once again the team lostg this time to Stony Brook with a score of 18-3. However, next time Port played a splendid game with Center Moriches, winning their first game IO-3. The battery for Port, which formed an excellent combination, was Dondero and An- derson. The team next ventured to Central Islip where we were downed by a score of 5-3. Although we were defeated this game was hard fought and one of the best contests of the season. The following week Stony Brook feeling quite confident of victory met us on our own diarn-ond. This time Port avenged the former defeat by a score of 6-19. Krause and Anderson were the battery. 5 Port followed up this victory with another with Smithtown. Our team trailed behind till the lastfwhen it displayed its old fight and won 15-17. The visit to Center Moriches resulted in another victory. Port took the lead from the start and at no time was it threatened by our opponents. Gaynor and Anderson made up our battery. On June 7th Central Islip defeated our varsity I0-3 on the home diamond. Port threatened to reverse the score in the last inning but was held down. ' The last game of the season saw our team defeated by Islip. But We didn't feel so hurt over this since Islip held the champion- ship this year. 74 I L11 llllfllwfalllll l50l I BOYS' BASEBALL BOYS' BASEBALL SCHEDULE 1929 Opp. P. J April 26, 1929 Islip at l'.

Owing to the shortness of time, it was not completed. Ruggles NVoodard. Charles Guy and Douglass Bartow were the three leading unbeaten contenders. These represented l'ort Jeff in the interscholastic games. L Our tennis teams were booked to play Babylon for the pre- liminary matches. Charles Guy represented Port in the singles and was beaten by the Babylonys representative by a score of 6-2, 6-2. Thomas Allen and Douglass Bartow played the boys' doubles and in a very hard contest lost two out of three setsg 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. This is the second year in which Port has participated in the tennis league and considering that the teams were made up of all new members, the results were as good as could be expected. Baseball Qliarnihal T The annual fun fest or baseball carnival of 1929 was held on Memorial Day last May. And who will ever forget those baseball games, the costumes-oh! oh! and the eats? After a goodly crowd had assembled at the Echo field the activities were commenced by a flag raising ceremony. This was very impressive and served to remind us of the true meaning of Memorial Day. This was followed by a May Pole Dance under the supervision of Miss Wlhitney. Then came those memorable baseball games. The Lizzies,' again played the Joints', and after a wild and exciting game the former won. Thereupon the game between the married and single women started. The baseball equipment of this game was as out- landish as the costumes. After dashing valiantly around the field for several innings the married women came out in the lead. The prizes for the best costumes were awarded to Miss Anita Ilawkins and to Judge Dreyer. The Port jefferson band entertained the crowd with very com- mendable musie at various intervals during the afternoon. Mr. Kiessling assisted by boys from the High School saw that the public was supplied with ice-cream, soda pop and hot-dogs, if such was their desire. After a great day of merriment it might be truthfully stated that a good time was had by all and that everyone who had a part in its success was compensated by the results. 76 GIRLS' TRACK TEAM - llllgw-Ill . so , 11 wrath Old Man Rainstorm, gave way to Old Man Sunshine, when the girls of the P. J. H. S. track team on Saturday, June Sth, 1929. won the Suffolk County Championship in track and field events at the athletic field of the Patchogue High School. Every large school in Suffolk was represented by its best, but Coach Whitney's stars wion decisively by a score of 47 points to the nearest contender's mere 30. The team was so well balanced that at least one place in each event was taken by P, J. H. S. The student body generally was highly elated and the victors very proud of their medals, and particularly so of the High School Championship cup which now reposes in the school trophy cabinet. Stella Wozniak was the star performer of the day making eleven points, while Gen Spurga was neck-to-neck with ten, while Mary Walker and Laura Sills each had eight points. The first event was the 100-yard dash and P. H. S. with Laura Sills came home with the gold medal. Nancy Olsen then took fourth in the 60-yard dash. Mary VValker with the fine throw of 184 feet and 4 inches Won the premier place in the baseball throw, with Genevieve Spurga second and Marjorie War- ner fourth. P. J. H. S. nearly took the full count in this event, and duplicated the same feat in the basketball throw. With Spurga get- ting first with the splendid throw of 84 feet, with Mary Walker second, and Dorothy Purick fourth. My, how the points piled up for P. J. H. S.! Then the lead pillet was brought out for the shot-put and of course we again took three places. Dorothy Purick earned the silver medal with a put of 31 feet 6 inches, third going to Spurga, just a foot behind, while Virginia Dreyer took fourth place. The judges then brought out the standard for the high jump and Stella Wozniak took first with the great jump of 4 feet 6 inches. Nancy Olsen was third, claiming only two inches less, while Francis Lynn took fourth with a leap only three inches below the gold medal winner. This was some contest. Stella Wozniak won her third gold medal in the hop-step and jump, getting first with 31 feet II inches. Laura Sills was fourth with a jump of 29 feet 52 inches. VVe won fourth place in the snappy re- lay race, the team being Laura Sills, Jean Dayton, Nancy Olsen, and Nancy Edgar. It was a good team and the team had a good coach. All who won at least one point for the school in this meet have been awarded a block letter. 78 ll IIE Jllmff-lllll LSQI ll Girls' Basketball The first girls' basketball game of the season 1929-1930 was played on the home court on Friday, the 13th of December, against East Islip. This proved to be an unlucky day for us as the girls were defeated with a score of 25-33. The Alumni game, scheduled for December 6th, was not played till the 23rd. On that evening a friendly tussle was greatly enjoyed by the spectators. The High School finally won with a close score, evidently the Alums had lost some of their former skill. The next game had also been postponed from Friday, the 19th, to Monday, January 6th, following the Christmas vacation. The girls must have lost practice over the holidays as the final score registered 21-16 in favor of our opponents, Islip. The game was played on their court. The following Friday we met our friendly rivals, Smithtown, on the home court. They demonstrated playing which our faithful six could not equal, the final score being 22-12. However, on January 17th when P. J. H. S. played Babylon at Babylon, the tables were somewhat changed. Cur girls, intent upon winning this time, did so with a score of 16-10. On January 24th we welcomed Lindenhurst upon our court where we struggled vainly for victory. Lindy was just a little too fast for old Port Jeff High this time and after a real exciting game the final score was 18-13, just a trifle over two shots difference. The next game was played at East Islip and again P. J. H. S. bowed to her w-orthy rival with a score of 26-II. This game was marked by the strict refereeing maintained throughout the struggle. But soon victory again compensated us for the loss of the pre- vious week when we met Islip, this time on the home court. A Fine game was fought, ending in the triumph of P. J. scoring 16 to Islip's II. On Tuesday, February 11th, we again encountered Smithtown on Smithtown's court. In spite of especially fine yelling by a line crowd of rooters, our girls, after holding the lead till the last half, fell down noticeably in the last quarter, at the end of which the score was 25-17 designating our opponent's victory. This was an especially exciting game regardless of our defeat. The following Friday, however, caused our spirits to rise when we triumphed once more over the Babylonians as we met them on the home court. The score was 24-14. The last game of the season was played against Lindenhurst on the Babylon court. Port had kept the lead till the third quarter when the Lindenhurst sextette seemed to wake up, play brilliantly, and finally reverse the score to 27-13 in their favor. 79 l l llllfgwffelllll l50l ll GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Members of the Team lletty lliekersun ...............-......

This year section 6, the 6th period gym class, and the Juniors had the victorious teams. On February 26th the ga.mes started with section 2 section 4. The latter defeated the former in a hardfought game wth a score of 5-12. Next section 5 was easily defeated, by section 6, 8-32 and then it remained for the 4th period class to play the 7th period. The former put up a stiff light but the 7th period class won with a score of 8-16. On March Ioth section 6 defeated section 7 with at score of IO-18, making the former the championship gym class in'Basket- ball. The intra-mural class games started with the Freshmen vs. juniors on March Ioth. The Freshies put up a gallant light' but the Juniors defeated them with a score of 8-24. Then the Soph- omores were victorious over the Seniors with a score of 9-21. Next came the Sophomore-Junior game to determine the championship class team. The Sophs fought fiercely but the Juniors finally won I6-26. 1 SOCCER The section teams for soccer were organized early in the year and on September Ioth the first game was played with G. Spurga and O. Darling as captains of the 5th period and D. Purick and A. Oettinger of the 6th period. The two battled vainly for five extra minutes, ending Hscorelesslyf' The following Thursday section 2 played section 4. The latter with the worthy captains, B. Dickerson and N. Olsen, overcame the former, managed by S. VVozniak and D. Lee, with a score of 3-0. Friday, September 13th, proved anything but unlucky for section 4 as it was then that they defeated section 5, making themselves section champs The games between the four classes began during the week of November 9th, when the Freshmen fought with the more experi- enced Sophomores, holding the score a tie and finally winning through a toss-up . The Juniors then defeated the Seniors I-O. Another exciting contest followed between the Freshies and Juniors ending in a tie and again the lucky Freshmen won a second toss- up , thus capturing the class championship. 33 biking Qllluh In '30 the Hiking Club proved an attractive organization. Its membership was over forty and many new members joined who were instructed in the rules. All those who had walked at least 250 miles were made captains. NVhen a girl walks 500 miles in one sea- son, she earns her letter and several were earned last year. There were two enjoyable hikes held. One to Setauket and one through Belle Terre. This latter, was a novelty, a hare and hound chase. The hounds, accompanied by Miss Lou Thompson, lost .their scent and tramped for hours, not linding the elusive hares. Finally, rescued by Marguerite Heatly all gathered, half starved on the Belle Terre beach. A line tire having been built, they enjoyed a steak roast, warmed up and betook themselves homeward. This ended a most amusing day for all the hikers. The presiding officers this year were Nancy Olsen, President, and Ada Oettinger, Secretary and Treasurer. bpm Meet In '29 P. J. H. S. held its second annual Gym Meet. This was to show our friends what we are taught in Physical Education. It consisted of athletic projects. To lend zest to the occasion, a contest was held among the four classes. This plan was enthusi- astically received by the students. The winning classes had their numerals placed on the handsome Gym Meet banner. This has become a worthy tradition in the school. This contest attracted a considerable audience. Beginning at eight o'clock, the following program was presented: KID Entrance March singing school song falljg Qzj Mass Drill Calljg Rope Quoit contestg C45 Dance--Schoolroom Antics Qgirlsjg C55 Mass Drill Qboysjg Q6j Tumbling Contest Qgirlsjg f7j jumping Rope ck Circle Jumps Contest fgirlsjg QSJ Leap Frog Qgirlsjg Q95 Shoe Race QboysD. At the end came the Original Stunts. These were enjoyed by everybody. Especially the Seniors' which proved the most original. Thus ended an enjoyable evening. The final score was'-Freshies 36, Sophs 36, Seniors 26, and the Juniors 19. The honorable judges of the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Caroll Loper and Miss Lois Knight. 34 l,I19I llllgfnmlll ISO! l ll l l III!! l50I ll l ll -l Gfgiia . CHEER LEADERS FIGHT P. J. FIGHT P. J.

Although his cheering was not loud his very presence inspired the players to seek higher laurels. The following girls, Anna Tuthill, Betty Terry, Blanche Carl- ton, Frances Lynn and of course, our old standby, Olive Darling, have most efficiently and faithfully led the Student Body in her cheers and songs during intermissions. 35 ,.

Lois JENNINGS, '30, The Story at the Gate Mine is not a garden gate, or a driveway gate, indeed it is not a real gate at all. By that I mean one cannot touch it because it is not made of Wood or irong but, in spite of tha-t, it is a gate through which everyone passes. Everyone? Yes, everyone, for it separates two great countries. On the south the sunny Childhood, while on the north the Grown-up Land. The gate swings very easily from the south, but from the north side, it is always closed. Hundreds of children hurry through its magic portals every day, eager for the charms beyondg while many others linger on its threshold, filled with a sudden fear of the future and a half-longing to go back to Childhood. But the crowd from behind pushes them, and they are forced to wander on. Very often they are as happy in Grown-up Land as in Child- hood, but sometimes there is one who, pressing his face on the bars of the gate, cries in his heart, Ohl why did I not stay where I was happy? Why did I hurry from Childhood? The gate is sorry for these few and would fain let them depart into Childhood again, but it cannot, for only from Childhood can the gate of adolescence be opened, and the grown-ups can but look back. ELIZAIBETH TERRY, '31, 88 l ul lfflQ1a..t.1Ifll lsol l Saenrztaries hs Eaugbtersanilatn No, I won't have an efficient secretary, they're too blame much bother, never leave my desk alone, always straightening it up, gen- erally losing something I wanted that very minute. Most of 'em empty wastepaper baskets too often, and aren't careful what they chuck in 'em. If they're efficient, this time I'm going to have one that isn't efficient and see how it works. This was only Harri- man Benedict mumbling to himself on the difhculty of an efficient secretary. J. Harriman, Junior, swinging nonchalantly on the desk looked up with a grin and said, I'll tell you, Dad, the best way to judge them is by their looks. The last one you had-well, she fairly radi- ated efhciency. NVasn't a fit feminine or pleasing, or anything like that. NVhy don't you try a different type of girl, maybe she'd prove less efficient. -I. Harriman looked at his son quizically as if he had not yet outgrown the pranks of youth and meeting the boy's frank, yet mischievous glance, said, All right son, find me one and don't go to an agency, they're all alike there, too darned efficient. Whistling softly Harriman, Junior, slipped off the desk and swung through the door to the outer office, and into a phone booth. After getting his number he said quickly, XVell it struck him right enough, and so far the plan has worked out, and remember, don't empty wastepaper baskets and don't disturb his desk. If he talks, answer just 'yes' and 'no,' don't try to be efficient. Use your head, darling, you've got a nice one. Then in a lower tone Harri- man Junior said, We'll get around him, honey, the first thing you know he'll be eating right out of your hand. Goodbye until tonight- remember, don't empty a wastepaper basket, not even if they pile upon the floorf, It didn't sound exactly as if Harriman had engaged a secretary for his father exclusively, but we could only wait and Two weeks passed and Harriman Benedict had been more amicable of late, than ever before in the history of the office, Even tho' his son was around the office more than usual the secretary junior got made up for it. Harriman Senior, now swore by his secretary, not at her, as was the fate of previous victims. And an- other comforting fact was that his son, while he was around the 39 ll L11 ll wfaillll lsou l office, at least Wasn't running around with that little fool of an artist, down in Greenwich Village. Why Harriman Junior couldn't use his head in regard to his father's future daughter-in-law, as Well as he did with his father's secretaries was most provoking to Harriman. Alas, J. Harriman's contented state of mind didn't last long, for his secretary, Wonder of all Wonders, gave notice the follow- ing Week. After vainly protesting for no less than a half-day, J. Harriman gave up in disgust, and left the office in his son's care, while he finished the nerve-racking day with a round of most un- satisfactory golf Cthe kind J. Harriman generally playedj. A Coming down to the office the next morning, in a most devas- tating mood, J. Harriman found his recent secretary waiting in the outer office with J. Harriman, Junior. Hailing his father, as he Went into his office, Harriman, Junior said most provokingly, Don't you Want your secretary back, Dad? Turning, with undisguised anger, Harriman said coldly, This is no time for jokes, and as for you Miss VVayne, your pay envelope was given to you last night. Interrupting his father, Harriman said eagerly, She's not Miss Wayne, she's Mrs. J. Harriman Benedict, Jr. J. Harriman's face lost its thundercloud aspect and he said in a relieved tone, Thank God. Then catching the former Miss WVayne's mischievous glance, he said, What's up now? As long as I've gained a sensible daughter-in-law, I'm sure she'll train me another secretary, so thatfs all rightf, Harriman Junior smiled and said, 'Tm sure she will, for you see, Mrs. Benedict wishes to go on With her painting, and We're going to live in the studio in 'The Village'.

He pinches his finger trying to open it. His wife grabs it and opens it for him. He takes down picture of his mother-in-law and moves ladder over to victrola and puts pic- ture there. Then, he climbs down ladderj. Mrs. B.-No, Tom dear, don't you think it would look better over the piano. I guess I will try it there. Mr. B.-CMoves ladder there and gets halfway upj.

My heart seemed to drown out our steps as we made our way up the porch stairs. I stopped at the top, my heart in my mouth, and expressed to my companion my in- finite desire to turn around and go back. But then-it was too late. The sound of footsteps Within informed us that we had been heard. So, with mucch urging and encouragement from my friend, and some unknown spell of boldness from within, I knocked upon the door. Before I had time to even think ofthe words I wished to use to express myself, which were by the way, an invitation to a party fthe first I had ever extended to a girlj, the door opened and there faced me the very person I wished to see. My heart leaped as with the last bit of dying strength. Then I feebly began to stutter: '--er, would you a-er-a-that is a-er-is your brother home? NVith a faint smile and a curtsey came an affirmative reply and before I could speak again, she had gone to summon her brother. By the time he appeared, I had thought of a reason why I had wanted to see him and we talked there for several minutes. After a short time, it seemed to me though I ought to make another attempt at my original purpose, for I really had no reason for wanting to see the young man. So, after explaining to him and with a little more encouraging I consented to have the fellow call again to have sister come out. I assured myself that this time I would speak up to the young lady and tell her my exact purpose with the boldness of an experienced courtier. But alas! The moment she appeared, my former spell again overtook me and my tongue would not work in accordance with my mind. I stood there talking for a few minutes about the Weather, school, church, dancing les- sons, and everything imaginable, but hardly realizing what I said and never hinting toward anything that would suggest my desire. A few more minutes passed and nothing had occurred. I was begin- ning to run out of things to talk about, Something must be done. VVith one last effort I managed to announce my message, listing the time, place, type, etc. of the party as if dictating a tabulation of events of the current week.-Then came the crisis. To be or not to be accompanied was the question. That minute of her de- cision Qconsenting to goj seemed to be years, at least so, to me, it seemed. And now, as I think of that occurrence which was to me almost like the beginning of a tragedy, I often wonder if each young man has the same difficulty, and if so, I sincerely extend my sympathy and pity to him, and also these few words of advice: Never plan ahead of time what you expect to say when extending an invitation to a girl for the first timefyou'll forget it all anyway. ERNEST HOPKINS, '30, 92 ll ll. ll ' Gfnffalll ll 1501, ll Jfrihap the Thirteenth Bruce Kendal was walking nervously up and down his spacious living room, running his hand through his hair, lighting a cigarette and immediately discarding it. He had been doing this for some- time, his nerves were on edge. Having nothing else to do he had gone to a fortune teller that morning and she had told him that on Friday the thirteenth he would be killed by a lion. At the time he laughed it off but now the more he thought of it the more he was possessed with the odd feeling that it would come true. Bruce walked over to his desk and looked at the calendar- two,5no, three more months before the thirteenth fell on a Friday. Three more months and then!-. Coming again to his desk he looked at the letter he had received a week before from his old friend, Bill. Bill and some other men were going to Africa to hunt game. Bill had written to Bruce asking him to go along. A sudden wild idea flashed into Bruce's mind-he would go to Africa and kill lions, not for sport but for defiance, vengeance. He looked at the letter again, Bill was sailing at midnight. He must get ready at once, he called his valet and told him to pack. By the time he was dressed his valet had finished packing,-he grabbed his suit- case and hurried to the dock. In Africa Bruce killed numerous lions and other animals but this gave him little pleasure. He became sick and tired of hearing about and seeing lions so he decided to go back to New York. Friday the thirteenth was also drawing near and he thought how foolish it would be to stay in Africa on that day because it would only make it more possible for the fortune teller's prophecy to be fulfilledg so he engaged a stateroom on the next boat to New York. He arrived in New York on Friday, the thirteenth. He Went immediately to a friend's apartment. A maid answered the door. No one was home but she told him to come in and wait. He went in and going to the window watched for a moment a circus on parade, and then shuddered, there were the lions again. He turned his back to the window and as he looked around the room, he saw a picture of a lion hanging on the Wall. This was the last straw. He strode across the room, snatched down the picture and smashed it with his fist. The glass flew in all directions, a piece cut a blood vessel in his hand and before a doctor could arrive, he had bled to death. Q iff The fortune teller's prophecy was fulfilled. Bruce Kendal was killed by a lion on Friday, the thirteenth. LOUISE ALBRIGHT, 31. 93 ll ll I lllIGIfnf+a1Illl ISOI ll Qetting a Humber nn the Telephone Mr. jones-Plaza 3720, please.

In addition to the students there were Mr. Vandermeulen, Miss Thompson Cchaperonej, Miss Smith, Mrs. Darling, Mrs. Pfeiffer, Agnes Schlagenhauser, and Ethel Terrell. From Port Jefferson to Vlfashington the wheels of our trains turned to the music of I bid three hearts intermingled with the Stein Song. Our so-journeying ended at about four o'clock when we boarded buses for the Driscoll. Dinner that night was a wild scramble for places. Once everyone was settled we set to with a right good will. That evening we visited the Congressional Library although many mistook the Senatorial Office Building for it. At the Library we viewed the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Original letters and papers of men such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were also shown. As you entered the building you had a Wonderful view of the Grand Stair- case . After viewing the Library we attempted to locate the theaters. That night was a very noisy one at the hotel. In fact, the boys were enjoying themselves to such a degree that the house manager had to intervene. Tuesday morning we started our week's pleasure in earnest. At about 9 o'clock We boarded sight-seeing buses for a tour of the city. Everything of interest was pointed out to us and about eleven we reached the Capitol. We were conducted through it by Mr. Mulligan, who had a big bump of humor. Quoting Mark Twain he described the original dome of the Capitol as the national cus- pidorf' As we continued through the Capitol, he pointed out the statuary, paintings and grill work in the staircase, all of which was done by Brumidi, an Italian artist. VVe visited the House of Repre- sentatives and the Senate. Returning to the rotunda the historical frieze was described to us. VVe then made a call upon Mr. Bacon and received our passes to the various departments. In the afternoon we took the Arlington, Alexandria, and Mount Vernon trip. At Arlington we visitel the memorial amphitheater, the Custis Lee Mansion, and the grave of the Unknown Soldier. 97 H .fll llllelwf-1IIIl lsol r At Alexandria we entered Old Christ Church and sat in Washing- ton's pew. Proceeding to Mount Vernon we finally reached our goal. We had our pictures taken on the lawn and then began the exploration of the house. VVe saw the parlor, sitting room, two bed- rooms and in one of the outside buildings some relics. Then we visited Washington's tomb. The return trip was made by boat. NVednesday morning we had a hard task. We were to climb the Washington Monument. Eight hundred and eighty-nine steps to the top, but what a view you gain of the city! An equal thrill arrives when you go down in the elevator traveling nine feet to a second! Our steps then took us to the Bureau of Printing and En- graving. Here we saw money made and stamps perforated. The rooms are so warm one wonders how anyone can work in them. Leaving this building we journeyed to the'Pan American Build- ing. This is very beautiful with its Mexican patio and the brilliant South American macaws. Throughout the whole building one views Indian color decorations. In the afternoon we scattered into separ- ate groups to visit various buildings. However, most of us took in the Smithsonian National Museum, and the New Museum. Thursday morning we visited the Treasury Building and the VVhite House. We also visited the Corcoran Art Galleries. Then we went back to the Capitol and some attended the Senate While others went to the Supreme Court. Thursday afternoon, conveyed by a chartered bus, we took a trip to Annapolis. We went through the various buildings and then watched the drill. Friday morning dawned with the realization that this was our last morning. We went to the Botanical Gardens and the Bureau of Fisheries, then We separated and revisited some of the buildings we had seen. Also many of us patronized the Martha Washington Candy Shop. At one o'clock we all gathered in the hotel lobby and after cheers had been given we boarded buses and were taken to the station. Arriving at Philadelphia about five o'clock We imme- diately prepared for dinner. Saturday, the last day of the trip dawned. We took a bus ride through the city of brotherly love. We passed statues of Wash- ington, Penn, and Franklin, visited Fairmount Park and there saw the remaining buildings of the exposition. After leaving the bus we visited Independence and Congressional Halls, Betsy Ross House and Christ Church. We took the two o'clock train for New York. Arriving there we saw High Society Blues , ate dinner and came home on the 8:10. Thus we ended our happy time. 98 ll L1 Sl Grggialu 'as 67' f T 'EQ 35W x - Xfmff 4: w J 5 ., I ll.l1 I llllfllwwllll ISO! . ll Jfahurite bbutns uf '29 U30 Vagabond Lover ....... Untamed ..........

ISOI 711513: Satanh Qbtnners' Dream With due apologies to the various authors I think that I shall never see A hot dog growing on a tree. If such there be, go roast it well And take it to the shops to sell. Oh, under the spreading hot dog tree The village caterer stands Serving you hot dogs by twos and three As fast as you hold out your hands. WVhile up from the cities, dusty and dry, The hordes of people go riding by. They stop to eat at the hot dog tree Ice cream, coffee, hot dogs and tea. Pluck, if you must, this hot dog red Taste it but once and you may fall dead. Blow, bugle, blow, set this dead silence flying NVhile we listen to the patrons, dying, dying, dying, The Broadway lights have seen queer sights But the queerest they ever did see NVas the bright sunny day, by the side of the way That they lirst saw the hot dog tree.

IOI ll ll l lllllgfnfhl ibntn tn Behav: in Glass How to behave in class is a ticklish subject to touch upon, but I will endeavor to go over it with my usual carefulness. When you enter the classroom, I would advise that in order that the teacher may know that you have entered, make a couple of cat calls or something that will attract her attentiong and then with a loud stamping of feet, march to your seat and violently seat yourself. This will let your teacher know that you have arrived on time. If you happen to sit by someone who is feeling dull, a hearty slap on the back will usually refresh his mind, and I know that he will immediately thank you for your little courtesy. When homework is called for, make a great rumpus so that the teacher will know that you are industriously looking for it. Never give another person a chance to answer any of the questions, but answer them, or else interrupt the other person, so that your teacher will know that you are very studious and know your lesson. NVhen the teacher's back is turned, laugh out loud or make the noise of a siren or what have you, and when she turns around, look as innocent as one who would never think of such a thing. When the bell rings, rush out of the class so that she will know just how enthusiastic you are. GEORGE TSANTES, '31, Gin-Yes, I s'pose Barnum went to Heaven when he died. Ruth-He had a good chance, they say he had the greatest show on earth. DoHedEThere's a lot of lame verse in this book. Hoppy-What can you expect in limp leather?
