Saturday night the depot committee receives a rather tired crew on the-oh, why mention it? Anyway, they werenit weary without reason. V all about the Washington trip. Then they showed XYe hear us how they did it , the Agony Sextetu functioning during several splendid little interludes. The boys' baseball team takes Lindenhurst over for a score of 7'4 in the first game of the season, played on the Circle .X. C. held. Augurs well for the season .... we hope! May May Day and Child llealth Day furnish material for a very nice assembly, conducted by Anna 'l'uthill, and just full of fun, May Poles, and light exercises.

Miss NVing just glance at this snappy looking group of Sophomores: we are still as carefree and as lively as in our Freshman year and still cause the faculty a little trouble but they are not annoyed as much as formerly.

This year we organized our class under the supervision of a new member of the faculty, Miss XYing, and chose the above oflicers. Miss XYing and our president together with other members of the class have endeavored to make our class a bigger success than ever and so it is to these people that the Sophomores owe their gratitude. Rach month our president has selected a Scholarship Commit- tee which has accomplished much toward raising the marks of the students to a higher average. The Sophomores will undoubtedly make a strong Junior Class next year. May they have the best of luck in all that they undertake! Ethel' llaldwin, ,33. 42 A-S..., 'R76rs5-ral.

This is the largest number that has ever gone through the Eighth Grade on half term and we are proud of it. The teachers also deserve much credit for getting so many through. NVe have decided to hold the annual Eighth Grade food sale early in May and we hope to make it the largest and best on record.

XVilliam Miller The Student Organization is a body for the benefit of the stu- dents. In belonging to the Student Organization a student saves approximately five dollars. It enables more students to attend the various games and school entertainments. This is the fourth year the Student Organization has been in operation. It has been a great success with an eighty-seven percent membership. ' The dues of the senior and junior high schools are the same as in former years, 53.50 and 32.50 respectively. This year, as cus- tomary, the tickets were purchased on the installment plan-fifty cents at the beginning of the year and fifteen cents weekly there- after until the total is paid. This plan makes it possible for more students to be members of the Student Organization. Incidentally this installment plan enables more students to attend the various games of the school. The teams perform much better if there is a large number of Port Jefferson students in the cheering sectiong better school spirit is shown if a large representa- tion ofthe students attend the games. Also -by this plan more stu- dents attend the school entertainments, which are very educational. At the beginning of the school year elections for the officers ol' the Student Organization of the Port jefferson High School were held. One regular assembly was turned into a nominating conven- tion for the offices of the Student Organization. As chairman of this convention Margaret Lowry presided. Nominating and second- ing speeches were given and the nominees were escorted to the platform. A few days later the members of the Student Organ- ization voted by strictly secret ballot. The students elected are listed above. Florence Spear, '3I. 46 STUDENT COUNCIL r. -99 --1 EE ,Q CDO QA:- 12:9 gal '-as n-:H gmc GJ DD Z 5 .- -1 JI Q 71 :S 22 5:- gn .Eu 'Um' 1 C. gli fi' , P1 b.

It is composed of the officers of the most important organizations in the school. They are the presidents of the four classes, the editors- iu-chief of the Crystal and the l'urple l'arrot, the officers of the Student Organization, the chief ofhcers of the Girls' Glee Club and the Hiking Club, the coaches, captains, and managers of both the girls' and boys' athletic teams. Only members of the Student Organ- ization are allowed to serve on this board. As the Student Council does not have an election of otiicers Mr. Vandermeulen acts as the chairman at all the meetingsg Irene Newbery acts as secretary this year. Many matters of importance are settled by this council. It fixes the basis for all rewards given for excellence in scholarships and participation in athletics. The decision in regard to any new Letters rests with this organization. It also determines the recip- ients of the awards. A proposed club must receive the sanction of the Council before it becomes oflicially a part of the l ort Jefferson High School. The Council chooses the leader, assistants, and busi- ness managers for the annual subscription contest. It is a decree of the Council that all students must belong to the Student Organization before they can claim eligibility to re- ceive an Athletic Award for participation in any sports, or for the Most Valuable Student Award. No Senior is permitted the privilege and pleasure of going to NVashington unless he has paid in,full the membership dues for the four years in the Student Organization. The Council has also established the basis by which the stu- dents should receive the Athletic Awards. Freshmen shall play in ninety percent of the league games, Sophomores in eighty percent, Juniors in seventy percent, and the Seniors in sixty per cent. Any student who plays in a championship game is eligible for an Ath- letic Award. Participants in Track are eligible for a Track Letter only after scoring a point. The Student Council also determined the size of the l.etter to be awarded to both the girls and the boys. The boys are to receive a seven-inch and the girls a six-inch Letter. XVith each Letter a certificate is awarded. In place of a Letter a student may take a star if he so desires. Olive Darling, '32. 48 l9,,, rsstal V... . W heme 1BurpIe i9arrut The Purple lfarrot is the voice of Port jellierson lligh School. just as its illustrious and appropriate namesake, the garrulous bird, repeats every word it hears, so the Purple l'arrot repeats faith- fully every worthy sentiment and action of l'ort Jefferson High School. Constant advancement is the aspiration of the l'urple l'ar- rot and twice each year, whenever the Parrot is presented with a new staff, the bird of royal plumage is exalted to a higher perch on the scale of excellence by the ambition of its new proprietors. For example, when the junior Class is entrusted with the management of the regal bird, the juniors are so proud of this honor that no goal of achievement is beyond their desire for their noble charge. Likewise, when the responsibility of caring for the llarrot falls to the Senior Class, the Seniors comprehend that they must set the loftiest standard possible for the guidance of their successors. Consider the year 1930-31. The Purple Parrot was taught to speak again by its Senior staff, after having remained silent through the summer recess, and enjoyed a successful season until January. ln January it was relinquished to a staff of Juniors, who assistei it in pursuing a brilliant course to the close of the year.

The recently developed brass section will be a great asset after they have mastered the selections which the orchestra is practising. Another important addition is the bass viol, which furnishes a background and will add greatly to its quality. This body is one of the most indispensable of all the extra-curri- cular activities in the school, for it furnishes the music for all the assemblies and plays. NVe are proud that our orchestra has been invited to play at the sectional tryouts for the New York Times oratorical contest, which will be held at Smithtown. The brass and the string quartets are very important offshoots of the orchestra. The string quartet has played several times at church gatherings and social aetivitiesg the brass quartet recently made its debut in assembly. The personnel are deeply indebted to Miss Hosley for her infinite patience which deserves all the credit for what they are and none of the blame for what they are not.

It began practicing in the latter part of September and since then has made steady progress. Many members of the Junior and Senior high school are included in this group. The boys and girls have great enthusiasm and faith in their work and they are giving the Senior Orchestra considerable com- petition. Although some veterans will be lost in June by grad- uation that does not mean that the progress will decrease. To have a organization of this sort is a reason for great pride to our school. A good Junior Orchestra will result in a better Senior Orchestra in later years. M Miss Hosley, the leader and conductor of this group, spends considerable time and eltort in training the students.

The band was put on its feet by the expert teaching of the l.anday representative who gave one lesson a week for twelve weeks. .Xt the end of this period the company was sutliciently adapted to give a modest concert on February 24th, in the High School Auditorium, well lilled with listeners and parents interested in the progress of their children. After the l.anday representatives had started the band, it was consigned to the efficient and able direction of Miss Hosley. The young organization, under Miss Hosley's guidance, shows promise of becoming one ofthe outstand- ing activities of l'ort Qleflerson High School.

The first play of the school year was given on November 21 and 22. The cast was almost entirely inexperienced, but they played their various roles commendably. The setting was a college room. lfrank Robbins in the role of a popular college student, about whom the plot revolves, together with Mary Miller, as his sweetheart, formed the nucleus of the cast. On account of an ever-changing decimal point, the hero's bequeathed fortune was a constant un- certainty. Of course there was a mischievous frosh continually making trouble for everyone as well as making love to Olive liar- ling. NYho should it be but Clyde Melendy? Genevieve Spurga, the Trish landlady, supported by her two daughters called forth many a laugh. Many amusing incidents lent humor to the performance. Green Qtuckmgs The second play production, staged on February ld, was even more successful than the first. The scene was laid in England and the plot concerned a family of some repute. Irene Newbery, as Celia, enacted the role of a girl on the shelf . ln desperation, as a harmless prank, she invented an imaginary fiance for the benefit of her family. Captain John Smith, alias l,ondy Gaynor actually did exist and did appear unexpectedly in the final act. Her aunt alone shared her secret. The irate father, Bill Zakas, constantly ejaculating, XVell, God bless my soul ! caused considerable mirth. The principals were well supported by the rest of the cast and as Celia and her Captain finally arrived at a happy agreement she will not wear Green Stockingsu at anotherlwedding. The Zbaunteh ilanuse Shots! Horrible laughs! Blood-curdling shrieks! Blinking lights! Moans! Rattling chains! Murders! Bloody footprints! Ghosts! lion Floyd and Marion l'etty played to each other very well enacting the role of newlyweds spending their honeymoon in the abandoned country home of the bride's father. Bill Zakas gave a pleasing interpretation of the part of an analytical, intriguing novelist stabilized by an equally practical wife, played by Frances Lynn. Bill Davis made a hit as a country milkman, whose wounded cow caused all the excitement. The country constable, played as usual by Clyde Melendy, along with a precipitous detective, a for- mer sweetheart of the groom's, a skulking tramp and the nerve- racked father completed the cast. These parts were played well by the respective players. This production was reported to be a very fitting climax to the plays of the year, and as a whole the most finished. Miss Lou Thompson deserves especial mention and congratula- tion for her admirable skill in directing all these plays, 61 GYM NITE 1214 f'-Ei 1 J. V39 X 4? 'Sf n auuv.-v..1as.1.f.'1 -. BAGDAD ELLE OF OPERETTA, B Gym 31202 The annual Gym Nite production was presented as a radio programme from Station l'. l I. S. on December 5th, under the capable supervision of Miss XVhitney. Two novel settings formed a charming background for the clever drills, stunts and athletic features. The first was a Mother Goose scene portrayed by the Primary children, with Irene New- bery as the Dame of the Bedtime Stories. Their simple and childish performances won the hearts of the audience. The second featured the junior and Senior High School pupils in a realistic jungle set- ting. NVild jungle beasts and Cannibals formed a noyel entertain- ment with their artistic athletic feats. Special features included solo dances, a weird skeleton dance and a hobo frolic. Vocal selections were rendered by james Hawkins, Margaret l.owry, and Irene Newbery. About hfty pupils participated, wearing colorful, bizarre cos- tumes, designed and made by students. The performance received high commendation and was heartily enjoyed. Q9peretta : Glibe Belle of Zkiaghah The Operetta, a beautiful scene laid in llagdad with an unusual cast of natives, and :Xmerican tourists, was successfully produced March 26 and 27. Harry l'urvis with Margaret Lowry as the llelle, played the leads, and were admirably supported by the comedians, Veronica Mattfeld, who portrayed a love-stricken old maid who hnally married the l refect of Police, Clyde Melendy, of course: Nancy Olsen, Lawrence Gaynor, Ollie Darling and llill Godfrey formed an entertaining foursome, rendering special songs and dances. Irene Newbery, as the American Consul, was kept busy settling difficulties of the Americans with the Caliph, George Tsantes. An Oriental dancer, lithel joynes, captivated an English nobleman, no other than l'aul Smith. Anita Jewell and Emma Rogers as sisters of the Belle complete the list of principals. The Ilancing and Singing Choruses, arrayed in bright costumes, fur- nished attractive backgrounds for the principals. Art students in collaboration with Mrs. Vtfallace built and de- signed an excellent Oriental street scene, which created a perfect atmosphere for the production. The Operetta was ably directed by Miss Hosley, assisted in the dancing by Miss VVhitney, and she merits our most hearty felicitations. 64 iBri5e bpeaking Qllontest High School Auditorium, June 13, 1930 Darius Greene and His Flying Machine ........

XVinifred Sheridan's composition on The Adaptation of the Constitution to the Changing Needs of the People was selected as the best one. There were eleven seniors who gave orations in chapel. Helena lilorr, who spoke on The Constitution in the Daily Life of the lndividualu, won the honor of a unanimous vote of the three judges. Margaret Lowry and XVinifred Sheridan were chosen as alter- natives in case Miss Dorr should not be able to represent Port Jefferson at the semi-finals at Huntington. Although Miss Dorr did not win first prize at Huntington, she represented Port Jeffer- son very commendably.

After two weeks of practice the schedule was announced and it was known that about one more week of practice was left before the first game, scheduled to be played on April II, with liast Islip. However, due to the fact that their team was not ready to play, the game was cancelled. Therefore, the season opened with the Lindenhurst game played on our own field. This game was certainly a good one to start the season, for we defeated Lindenhurst 7-4. .-X large crowd attended, and the game was very interesting. Our hopes for a winning game were dashed by the Central Islip team, when our nine met them on their own field, losing by a score of 29-7. The next game, however, was one of the most exciting games of the season, in spite of our defeat. Islip came here for this game and the two teams seemed very evenly matched. Neither side seemed able to score. The spectators were in suspense until the very end, when Islip brought in a single run, which gave them the game I-0. VVhen our team travelled to Smithtown the following week, the kind of a game the crowd likes was again witnessed. Our boys took the lead at the start and held it for several innings, and then Smithtown tied the score. In the next inning Smithtown brought in three runs to our two. Try as they would, the fellows couldn't even up the score, and at the end it stood 5-4 in Smithtown's favor. Next, we had a chance at the team which we should have played first-lfast Islip. It was a home game, but played on a school day. Our team was unable to score until the end of the game, while East Islip brought in eleven runs. The game ended with a score of II-I with Port on the wrong end. The following Friday our team played Lindenhurst, whom we had defeated at the beginning of the season. This time, however, we were disappointed, 'for the boys from Lindenhurst defeated us S-2. Too bad! Then came our chance to wipe out the defeat which we had suffered at the hands of Central Islip, and we did it, but by how small a margin! The game was closely contested, and at the finish we had won by one run, the score being 4-3. There followed another close game, in which the Islip team bested the Port nine to the tune of 4-I. Thus far, the season had not been eminently successful, but we at least had the satisfaction of beating Smithtown 2-0 in the final game of the season. I-Iere's hoping that presages a good season for this 1931! 68 J. Terry, R. Krause, W. Godfrey, A. Anderson, E. Schlagenhauser, D. Bartow, E. Tillotson, L. Gaynor, Mr. Kiessling lCoachJ.

Such has been our experience this year, Our old backfield was back almost in its entirety, but very few of our heavy linesmen were left. The first battle of the year was with Westhampton Beach, on our own field. Port really outplayed their foes, as far as football is concerned, because we made twelve first downs to our opponent's four. However, unlucky breaks, such as a penalty when only two yards from our opponent's goal line, lost us the game. The score at the end was 7 to o in favor of VVcsthampton Beach. Fighting next against a much heavier team than our own, the boys managed to hold Patchogue to a score of 39 to 0. It is indeed unfortunate that more candidates do not come out for football. To have a strong team we must have more husky mate- rial for selection in all sports. Next, our men visited Smithtown to play a team just begin- ning their football career. Our boys were hopeful of victory, but our opponent's team was faster than expected, and although Port came close to a touchdown several times, fumbles cost us dearly, and meanwhile Smithtown had twice pushed the pigskin across the line, gaining an extra point the last time. The game ended with the score 13 to 0, with Port on the short end. NVell, so far our hopes of victory had been crushed. NVQ seemed destined to lose all our games but still the boys fought with all the old l . J. spirit. In most cases our team has been on the defensive and has had little chance to try offensive tactics. The final game of the season was played with Bay Shore and although the Port eleven performed its best the Bay Shore team held us scoreless and gained three touchdowns and two extra points, the final score being 20 to 0. Our big handicaps this year have been the lack of sufficient candidates to choose from, and the fact that most of the teams we played outweighed us. Our team certainly was good enough, but it was not heavy enough. The result was seen when we played XVesthampton Beach, a team near our own weight. VVhat a differ- ence in the Patchogue game! liy having a goodly number of foot- ball enthusiasts ready for training next fall, we can hope to present a good opposition to our adversaries. 70 l l Kiessling, lCoachl - Chereb - Davis Top Row4Tsantes - Sch agen xauser - Ri dall lM r.l llcrnard Miller, Richard Quirk, Cf Schroeder, George Krause, Ill , g Middle-Lee - Miller - Schroeder - Krause - Semm - Heatley - Helms Bottom'-Smith - Quirk - Terry - Nohejl - Godfrey - Gaynor FOOTBALL SEASON 1930 Officers Mr. Kiessling, Coach X'Valdo Randall, Manager Personnel of Team Selden lflcatley fl..E.j joseph Cherch ll..G.J XYilliam Davis .Xlfrcd Scmm Cl..l'l.lr.j Francis Terry fL.T.j XYilliam Nohejl QR.G.j CCJ George Tsantcs fR.T.j Charles Helmsg XYm.

Practice began immediately and after about three weeks' preparation, two non-league games were held with the Iiiremen and with Stony Ilrook. Then, after time out for Christmas vacation, the season began in earnest. The first game was with Smithtown on the home court. The boys did their best, but the Smithtown team had the edge on them, -although 1'ort did manage to keep the score fairly low in the first half. However, in the second half when our boys began to tire, Smithtown sent in fresh men, and the score was run up to 30-IO. Our next encounter, with Northport, was very similar to the first, in that we held them fairly even in the first half, but during the second half Northport increased their score to 30, holding Port to the 15 made during the first half. Better luck next time! And it was better luck. The home team Won its first game of the season when they defeated Central ,Huntington High. Reports have it that our team played a fast game. :Xt any rate, they dropped the ball through the net often, and at the same time kept Central from doing that same thing often. The result was a score of 14-8 in our favor. Iiveryone hoped that this was a good omen, but alas! we were doomed to disappointment. A week later our quintet went to Islip and opposed one of the best teams on the Island. Try as they would, the best the Islip basketeers could gain was O-3. However, our team tired and Islip forged ahead to a score of 52-9. Following the Islip game, our quintet visited Smithtown for a return match. The game was very similar to the first one with Smithtown. Our team lost 20-I2. The next was a return game with Northport, played here. It was very similar to the first one. The score was 29-14. In our return game with Central Huntington, the tables were turned and our opponents came out victors. Central Huntington had the lead for the first half, but later the boys from Port put a little more push into their playingg the effort did not entirely fail, for what might have been a crushing defeat was averted. Port lost to the tune of 23-15. Islip came here for the last game of the season. The athletic prowess of Islip was too great for our team, and it suffered an even greater defeat than before. Islip made basket after basket, and when the final whistle blew the score was 62-3. As we look back on the season as a whole, it does not seem too discouraging. The fellows gave all they had, and who can do more? 72 'i'J.l9: dnfsstail 'ZBLZE--' l ,Cf Bark Row' -Miller - Gaynor - Lee - Robbins - Mr. Kiessling fCoachl Front R0wfQuirk - Godfrey - Harlh BASKETBALL SEASON 1931 Personnel of Team Guards Forwards Richard Quirlc I.awrcncc Gaynor Frank Robbins CcnterfXVilliam Godfrey Linus Harth Clifton l,ec Coach-AINII1 Iiicssling llernard Miller Record of Games jan. 9 .Nt l'ort ,lcllierson I'.

Games were played every day by those who were first to sign up, and by a process of elimination we selected those who were to represent us in the ten- nis meet. Doug Bartow had the privilege of representing the school in the singles and Rugs,' VX'oodard and Ribby Krause played the doubles. The first of the series of semi-Hnals was held in Center Moriches on May 12, 1930. The girls won, but the boys were less fortunate. In the singles Doug Bartow lost to Callaghan of Center Moriches. In the first set, Doug lost 0-4, the next two were both 6-3. This was not a bad defeat, but it barred our boys from the other semi- finals' singles. In the doubles we didn't make as good a showing. Krause and NVoodard lost to Traincrn and Tooker in three sets as follows: fi-4, 6-2, 6-2. This record slightly bettered the one of the previous year, and wc hope it will be improved this year. The boys should not be Willing to admit that the girls are better tennis players than they are. filet out and show the girls you can win a few semi- finals, fellows.j Considering the number of sports in which this school par- ticipates, and the fact that those taking part in such sports are comparatively few in number, we can say that we had a fairly good season last year. Perhaps it will be bettered this year. fflheerleahing Cheering symbolizes the expression of the true, united spirit in any organization. Half-hearted cheering reveals the lack of in- terest and enthusiasm, while whole-hearted cheering exhibits earnestness and zeal. It is necessary for the various teams to be supported and encouraged in their effort to win laurels for their school. The duty of our cheerleaders is to arouse the proper spirit and enthusiasm in the students. In the past, a large proportion of the cheerleaders have been boys, but recently only girls have par- ticipated. Some boys tried out at the beginning of the year, but only joseph Chereb really lead in any cheering. More power to the boys l-they need it. Among the girls the cheerleaders are: Olive Darling, Blanche Carlton, Frances Lynn, lletty Terry, and two very little girls- Marion Gaynor and Elizabeth Darling. Betty Terry deserves especial commendation as she was present at nearly all of the games during both the football and basketball seasons. Come on, enter the try-outs for cheerleader and let's see the dawn of a new era for Port Jefferson High School cheers!

The track team had been chosen through the medium of a School Track Meet. Twenty-six girls took part in this annual event, fourteen of whom were chosen to bring honor and glory to l'ort'bIeff High. june 2, 1930, was the big day for which-the track team had been practicing so hard. .Nfter a short practice of the relay team. the girls set out for Vatchogue. lfpon arriving at that town the girls found that they had been changed from Class A to li because there were not enough schools entered in Class ll. It made little difference in which section Port Jefferson was entered as we should have been the winners anyway because the records made by Class :X were not as high as those of Class B. In only one case did Class .X make a higher record than Class B and that vias an exceptional broad jump of 15' 11 made by one of Southampton's entrants. Our school made more points than all the other schools that competed. To be exact, l'ort's total score was 43 I-3 points. The team came home with nineteen medals and two silver cups, one for the County Meet itself, and the other for the championship in the County Relay.

Uf course, the fact that they had defeated some of the finest basketeers F. DI. II. had ever known served to encourage the girls immensely and when they lined up for their first league game against Smithtown, on January 9th, on the home courts, it was evident. At the end of the first half l'ort held the lead by one point but the girls didn't play a strong defense and the game ended with the final score of 28-25 in Smithtown's favor. The next game, at Northport on January 16, proved that the l5'ort team hadn't lost its spirit, for the game ended in a tie, I6-16. The following week, on january 25, the girls showed their true colors again, defeating Central Huntington by the score of 18-13. During the first half the visitors scored frequently but in the second half our girls made a strong return and carried away the victory. It seemed that after every game which the team won, Dame Misfortune frowned on them. On January 30 on Islip's court the girls went down to defeat before Islip, the score being 27-18. The game was marked by strict refereeing. 3 Nevertheless on February 1 Port journeyed to Smithtown and tied with them to the tune of 24-24. The game was extremely ex-- citing and the playing exceptional. A few days later, on February 13, the I'ort team vanquished the Northport visitors with a score of 23420, amid hearty cheering and enthusiasm. The Varsity entertained the Central Huntington team on Feb- ruary 20 in a return game and chalked up another victory for F. -I. H. S. The final score was I3-IO and as probably has been surmised it was a thrilling and close contest! Innumerable fouls were called but they did not dampen the spirits of l'ort's faithful sextette. On February 27 l'ort played the last league game against Islip on the home court. This game was to decide whether Islip or Smithtown would win the championship of the league. ln any case P. -I. would retain third place. The team entered the game in high spirits but at the end of the first half Islip was ahead. The Fort girls offered stiff opposition during the second half but not enough to turn the victory. When the Hnal whistle blew ringing the curtain down on the Basketball Season of 1930-31, the Islip girls were the winners by a score of 25-18. So Jan. Jan. Jan. -lan. Feb Feb.

There is always much keen competition and this year was not an exception to the rule. On September 19th the juniors met the Sophomores in a hotly contested game on the school field. The mighty Juniors proved themselves worthy by running away from the Sophs and when the final whistle blew the score was 4 to 0 in the Juniors' favor. just a week after the Junior-Soph game the Seniors and Fresh- men lined up against each other. The ground was damp and soggy and the Freshmen had only six players. Nevertheless this contest was exciting and ended with the score 5 to 0, proving that the Seniors had the better team. September 30th was the day which decided who were to be the Uchampsl' of P. H. S. It was a hard fought game between the Seniors and Juniors as evidenced by the final score of I to I. A decisive fifth quarter during which the Juniors made a goal after a foul made by Wfarner, ended the contest. This left the Juniors possessing the championship of the high school. Another feature in the Soccer history of the school is the an- nual contest between the girls' gym classes in this sport, but due to the lack of time these games were not played this year. Girls' ilnterrlass Basketball This year, as in previous years, we witnessed several exciting games between the Gym Periods and the Classes. There were three interclass games g one between the first period class with Marion Gaynor as captain, and the third period class with Olive Darling as captain. The third period class proved the victors. This was followed by a game between the fourth period class with Nancy Olsen, captain, and the seventh period class with Genevieve Spurga as captain, the seventh period were the winners. The finals played off on March 13th left Genevieve Spurga's team the winners of the Gym classes. Then came the class games. The Freshmen and Sophomores offered an interesting game ending with a score of I3-8 in favor of the Freshmen. The Seniors, in a hard fought game, managed to hold the Juniors to the very close score of I4-13. Then came the hnal play-off between the Freshmen and the Seniors. The Seniors were again victorious with a score of 35-5. Any girl who had had any training in basketball or had played on the squad was given the opportunity of refereeing in these games. All proved themselves equal to the occasion. These games are enjoyed by both the contestants and the ons- lookers and afford the girls valuable experience in this line of sportl 82 - il-fl9,.,6 r-95 TB I ,.,5l?-3: The 1930 Gym Meet The Annual Gym Meet of 1930 was well attended. This event has been a feature of the school for the past three years. Its pur- pose is to exhibit the student body's athletic accomplishments and the co-operation exercised among the students. To lend excitement to the occasion each class of the High School competes for the honor of having its numerals placed on the Gym Meet banner which hangs in the auditorium. XYhen the classes marched into the auditorium to sing their opening songs, they were all decked out in their class colors. A floor drill in which all the students took part came first. This was followed by a Sword Dance executed by the girlsg Bowling Contest by the boysg Tug-of-Vvar also by the boysg Girls' Tumbling Contestg Virginia Reel by the girlsg game of Field Dodge Ball in which the girls also participatedg l'otato Race by both boys and girls. Then came the main event of the evening, the Class Original Stunts. The Seniors proved their worth by producing the best act of this kind which depicted a group of negroes at Worship, accom- panied by characteristic songs and actions. The final score was as follows: Freshies 1456 3 Sophs 41 5 juniors 38g Seniors Slyz. The students thoroughly enjoy this event and each class strives very hard to produce the best possible results. ibiking Qliluh In 1930-31 the Hiking Club proved a most successful organiza- tion. The object of this club is to interest the girls in hiking. After having completed 50 miles of hiking, each member of the club re- ceives a pin. All those who have walked at least 250 miles in pre- vious years are eligible to become captains. VVhen a girl walks 500 miles in one season, she earns her letter. Several were earned last year. There has been an enjoyable hike every month under the super- vision of one member of the club. At the end of the season the per- son who receives the vote for the best hike will be highly con- gratulated at a party given in her honor. The presiding officers of the club this year were Olive Darling, President, and Anna Kempster, Secretary and Treasurer. 33 Qllnurne nt btuhp First Year Grrtcral College PrvparaloryNormal Elltranrc CIIIIIIIIIFVKTIUI English I English I English I English I Algebra Algebra Algebra Biology Biology Biology Biology Business Training Electives Latin I Latin I Business VVriting El.

Uh dear, if this is what they call the world, I donlt think much of it! lt's a very light world and makes me blink. Gee! I don't know what to do with my hands. Maybe I'll dig my lists into my eyes. No, I guess l'd better not. I'll grab at the corner of my cover and chew it up, and then I'll holler. This nurse keeps putting a spoon into my mouth. If I holler, she trots me. Oh- I suppose that's what comes from being a two-days-old baby. Here I've been telling you my troubles but you don't even know who I am. XVell, I'll tell you. I heard folks say, Hush, don't wake up Maryls baby, and l suppose that pretty, white-faced woman over on the pillow is Mary. No, I can't belong to her be- cause a chap was just in here and wanted to see liob's baby, and looked at me and said I was a funny little toad, and looked just like Bob. He smelled of cigars and I'm not used to them. I wonder who else I belong to? Oh yes, there's another one-that's grandma, Mary told meg she took me up and held me against her soft cheek and said, It was grandma's baby, so it was. l declare I don't know to Whom I do belong. I'll holler and maybe I'll find out. Oh, there comes that nurse again with some milk. The idea of giving babies milk when they want information. I'm going to sleep. CSENEVIIQVIQ E. SVURGA, '3I. ilaahe Eau Cllfhzr There are times when words are precious thingsg ever so many instances when the use of a particular word would be a great help. Have you ever felt the desire to exclaim about some extremely beautiful scene and found yourself unable to do so save by using a few common adjectives? I have. Have you ever thought of the predicament a young man is in when he is proposing? It might even be a young lady-provided that it is leap year. just imagine the flowery phrases which must be composed, only to be forgotten when the time comes to utter them. lt is then necessary to use words you can think of on the spur of the moment, and oh, how lacking they are! l'lease under- stand, I am not speaking from experience in this ease. Have you ever had to write a theme? lNe might even say, an oration, for example? Yes, it is a very easy task. just make an out- line and follow it. But deary me, to lind words which exactly ex- 86 press the thought that you wish to convey. That is where and when the trouble starts. I have been in such a predicament. Have you ever gone to class without having thoroughly pre- pared your lesson and tried either to bluff an answer or present a feasible excuse? Very improbable, no doubt, but it may happen yet. Of all the times when your mind goes blank, that is foremost. W'ho- ever said, You must learn by experience, had the right idea! In reading this article, you notice the lack of appropriate words. But have you ever really found yourself able to express your thoughts, clearly, easily, and precisely. I never have. So do not judge too harshly. MARKS.-XRICT l'RIliTZlil., '31, Etna Bantams The bantam rooster is a small pugnacious and very energetic fellow. W'ith the exception of the game cock, he is the bravest, gamest little lighter of the poultry world. Dempsey and Tunney are two bantams, brothers, and were the only ones of the brood that survived the hardships of the win- ter, for they were born in February. Tunney possesses more of a combination of colors than Dempsey. Although most bantam cocks cannot tolerate another rooster as a companion, Dempsey and Tun- ney have never quarreled and are inseparable. They seem to be the followers of the Golden Rule . i The Black Prince , another cock, who, it seems to me, thrives on fighting, hates Dempsey and Tunney in a way that only a rooster can. But he cannot fight two bantams at a time and try as he can, he can never separate Tunney and Dempsey, so that,he will be able to fight and thrash one of this Damon and Pythiasn partner- ship. If he starts a fight with Tunney, fTunney by the way does not care for iightingj Dempsey will butt in the middle of the fray, set upon the Prince from behind, thus giving Tunney time to rc- treat and then he himself will hurry to safety, all the while crow- ing and chuckling at the apparent rage of the frustrated Prince. Once in a while, Tunney and Dempsey will attempt to out- crow each other and the way in which they undertake this contest, will make one have fits of laughter. This pair never roost in a separate place. They always find a roost which is agreeable to both. This is the way they do it-if Dempsey finds a place, which he thinks is as good as any, he will at once announce his find with loud chuckles and immediately Tun- ney will come at a run to inspect this nook. If it is agreeable to 37 him he will, after a few seconds of crowing and gay flapping of wings, settle to roost beside his companion. Tunney and Dempsey are now three years old, still the same old pals, and on some moonlight 11ight, in one of the peach trees in back of my home two objects will be observed, making a slight wheezing noise as they slumber and these objects, you will know, are Tunney and Dempsey, the Damon and l'ythias of the Ban- tam world. GEORGE TSANTICS '32. :lilly Jflrst Fmt Eu The Qllutp By A. Hick NYaal, I got one of them trains about eight o'cloek and rode on that dern thing for about three hours. That old thing swayed from side to side so dern much, I couldn't read the paper I got jest before I left home. Soon the train came to a place called Jamacky , or somethin' like that, and as I got off the train, I heard a man hollerin' somethin' in a foreign language, but later I found out that it was one of the men who yell out where the different trains are goin'. It's no wonder people get on the wrong train. Soon the train left jamacky and purty soon we went into a dark place and all of a sudden somethin' seemed to be pressing on the drums in my ears, I guess that's what you call 'em. As soon as I got into Penn. Station fthat's what a sign had painted on itj a colored man with a uniform and a number on his cap took my suit- case away from me. After I had chased him and socked him, I linally got it back and then left it at one of them check places. After that I went out into the street and saw some taxis and busses with a second story on 'em and farther away there was some trains that rattled and banged on the bridge over the street. Then l looked up at the houses and I'll be swaned if there wa'n't houses way up in the air. I kept lookin' up until somebody hit me in the stomick with an umbrelly. The rest of the mornin' I walked around, lookin' at most every- thin'. Every time I tried to cross the street, one of them taxis would come purty close to me and it waren't their fault that some of 'em didn't hit me. 'Bout noon, I went into a place called an Automat. All went well in gettin' my things until I came to a window in the. Automat with a chicken pie in it. Cn the outside of it, it said- nickelssso I put in two nickels and found out that I didn't have any more nickels. 'XVaal, all of a sudden that do-hicky behind the 88 glass turned around and my two good nickels was lost forever. After that I couldn't enjoy my dinner. In the afternoon, I went to a theatre and one of the dancers there didn't have many clothes oniit really was disgraceful-but jest the same I liked it. Then came the talkie picture and that was so funny, I laughed so hard the tears rolled down 'my cheeks so fast that soon my handkerchief was all wet. jest before I left the theatre, an awful thing happened. I dropped my hat and when I bent over to pick it up, I heard a sound like cloth rippin' and when I straightened up I felt cold air blowin' where it ought not to be felt, if everything was all right. Then I put on my hat, buttoned up my coat and left the theatre. NVaal, you see I was goin' to see some relatives, but after that awful thing happened, I couldn't go to see them, so I went back to I'ennsylvany Station and got my suitcase and in about three hours I got back home. FRANK ROBBINS, 31. Q 1H1Ipsterp Story It was a dark and stormy night, the moon and stars were either hiding behind a cloud or else they weren't there at all. fThat part of the paragraph gives the time and a slightly mysterious touch.j To continue: an old tree, veteran of many storms , QI find that quotation very widely usedj stood in the bright moonlight, thrusting one arm gibbet-fashion over the road. Something else stood out, or rather, sat out, in the light on one of the tree's branches, and that was an owl-fit couldn't have been a canary because it was too large and bumpy and, reason of reasons, it was hooting dismally. A little one-room building was visible from the tree because of the light which streamed from its windows, making a pleasant contrast to the pitchy darkness. That light went out and the door opened and-the postmaster came out, for this building was the post ollice. It was quite a distance from the building to the tree and while the man was coming up the road, please remember that it was very dark, the old tree standing gibbet-like CI mean with one of its branches that wayj, the owl, not a canary, hooting his hootingest. .Xnd then the man was opposite the tree, the owl, the hoots,-and everything else! NVhat happened? Nothing at all. The man walked home just as he had done the other three hundred and sixty-four days in the year, not counting Sundays and legal holidays. JEAN o.xYToN, '32, 39 19, an Zlutumn ilrlzhitatinns Now that autumn is here with us again, I find myself growing thoughtful and pensive. I love to wander out on the hills and, find- ing a cozy spot in the sun, sit and meditate. All around me the glory of nature is rampant, the trees wear dresses of gay red, yellow and scarlet, interspersed with dashes of green. A drowsy murmur is in the air, its source may be traced to honey bees gathering in their late fall store from the asters, the golden rod, and the gentians. As I allow my gaze to linger across the harvest field basking in the warmth of the sun, I seem to see other seasons passing in review before my eyesA-the fresh green color of spring, when everything was newg the warmer, richer colors of summerg both seasons are wonderful and fields are full at this time. But I love best the autumn when the earth lies quiet, just resting and brood- ing, taking on strength for the coming of jack Frost. It seems to me that humans could well imitate nature, and in the autumn of our lives, just lie quiet and brooding in the sun of I.ife which too soon will disappear. GRACE FARON, 31. night As I sit at my window at eventide and watch the day slowly fold itself away under the blanket of night, I see many things. At the bottom of the lane comes Bob, with the cows. He walks along at rather a hasty pace, his whole countenance beaming with the desire to run in to his mother and recount the happenings of the day. Ah, there is a light in the south window of my neighbor's housegit must be nearly seven o'clock, yes, so it is, baby's bed- time. I can see the mother as she tenderly lays the babe to rest and then goes downstairs to finish the last of her many tasks. NVhat is that clattering at my right? Oh, jerry has just finished milking the cows and is going into the house with his pails, his work all finished. The last ray of light has now faded and all is still. Everything is done and Night has come to affix her signature. IRENIQ NENVBERY, '31, 90 wflg fQi3,, film X mg SENIORS' WASHINGTON TRIP +-4-21921 Krystal ,,5l32:' Gin Marla bam! Beautiful Ctlitp On the gay morning of March 30, the Seniors assembled at the station to board the train for that long-anticipated adventure. Members of the faculty included Mr. Vandermeulen Cleaderj, Miss lna Thomson fchaperonej and Miss Spear. The time on the train was passed in window-gazing and sing- ing snatches of the not-forgotten Operettau. ln Washington, cabs were waiting to take us to the Hotel Driscoll. XVhen we finished unpacking it was time for dinner with the annual grand rush for tables, as usual everyone was satisfied with the results. After din- ner we visited the beautiful, ornate Congressional Library, where we saw the original Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and other famous documents. The remainder of the evening was given to theatre-going or talking over the day's pleasures. All the following evenings were spent in one of these ways. Tuesday morning there was a conducted tour through VVash- ington. We visited also our Capitol and after having received cour- tesy cards and special passes from Congressman Robert L. Bacon, we climbed into the great dome of the Capitol. That afternoon we boarded busses again and visited the Arlington National Cemetery which contains the sacred Tomb of the'lUnknown Soldier and a beautiful amphitheatre. Next we visited Christ Church in that quaint old city of Alexandria and from there journeyed on to Mt. Vernon, the National Shrine. A fifteen-mile ride by boat on the Potomac made an interesting return trip to NVashington. NVednesday morning was free of schedule, in order to give us the opportunity of visiting any building of interest and historical background we wished and the afternoon was free for recreation. Thursday we visited the U. S. Treasury Building, VVhite House, Lincoln Memorial and other buildings. To some students the long trip to Annapolis in the afternoon was the most interesting part of the Easter Tour. Friday A. M. most of us spent a large part of our time at the Smithsonian Institute and the Old and New Museums which are intensely interesting. That afternoon we left the beautiful city for Philadelphia, where conducted tours were made to points of his- toric importance, especially Independence Hall with the famous Liberty Hell, and everyone enjoyed himself for a day. After four hours of pleasure in New York Saturday night, we covered the last lap back to Home Sweet Home, reluctant to end a never-tm1-be-forgotten trip. 92, fi 1. .. -. W i .gi :ar 1 M f lf!
