The Crystal Staff is humbled before this great honor, and we have endeavored throughout to make our year book dignified and worthy of the notable year in which' it makes its bow to the world. It contains pages of lighter vein, but they are the inevitable burst- ings-through of the Spirit of Youthg on the whole it strives to match the dignity of its background, which is as it should be. -4 PRINCIPAL EARL L.

DAVIS He is fzvrll paid tha! is iurll satisfied. Miss Davis entered our High Schmid in September having completed most uf the work in the British VVest Indies, She qualified for 21 High School diploma at the end of the first semester. 34 l Urgstal K A fauna? Retrospect April CIQSID An eager group of Seniors set out bright and early on one misty morning for the big city, XVashington, to return sev- eral days later with-Ch, what a time!-Am I tired!!-just wait 'til you go!!! and other remarks showing what a good time they all had. , Londy Gaynor, Bill Godfrey, Ollie Darling and many others provide excellent entertainment in the intermissions between dances at the Silver Tree Inn. Before and after this night the Inn is commonly known as the auditorium, but what a lovely place it is in which to have a good time! A brand new, up-to-date, athletic field is started on the Plant Hotel Grounds. Now we certainly ought to surpass our pre- vious sport records, with that incentive. The Seniors lead the school, as is their wont, followed by the other classes in order, at our annual Gym Meet. Maybe it sounds easy but the underclasses made the Seniors earn every point they won. May Port's Baseball Team starts the season off right by defeat- ing Smithtown to the tune of 6-I. Keep up the good work, boys. Cur Track Team, an innovation this year, journeys to Islip to come in third in a triangular meet with Islip and Smith- town. This is our hrst year in Boys' Track but the results are very satisfying-owing to the able coaching of Mr. Ladd. The weather man succeeds in having a fine day for the May Day-Play Day and the participants show how much they appreciate his efforts by doing their very best. They are amply rewarded by enough ice cream for all hands around. Port's Tennis Team is defeated at Patchogue by Patchogue. What is the matter with our Team? It doesn't look very bright for the rest of the season when they start right off with a defeat, does it? Our Baseball Nine travels to Northport to defeat them in a good game ffor usj, the score being Io-8. The Baseball Team journeys to Islip only to be taken for a loss in a very close game of which the final score is IO-8. The annual Boys' Track Meet is held at Patchogue, in Which, although We do not score, some new school records are made. Life is full of surprises and this is a happy one. On going to chapel this morning we End that We are to be entertained by the various French Classes. We thoroughly enjoy the songs 35 8 22 2: 26 28 29 2 5 I Qfrgstul. l sung by the Junior Class fin French of coursej and the vari- ous skits put on by the French 2 class, the French 4 class, and French 5 and 6. XVilliam Davis makes an elegant French- man with YVilliam Zakas as his interpreter. Our budding orators compete in the annual Prize Speaking Contest. Elizabeth Dickerson wins first prize for girls with Joan Dacostau, while Margaret Prietzel is a close second, rendering, The Fiddle Told . VVilliam Zakas gives Billy Blifkins' Campaign Speech , and walks off with the first prize for boys, while Joseph Pearsall takes second place with Engineer O'Conner's Son. Dreyer, Spurga, and Darling take their trusty racquets in hand to Patchogueg Dreyer returns triumphant but the Doubles Team loses after a closely contested match. After a long hard struggle our Baseball Team comes home from Smithtown, down but not out, after a 6-5 game. The whole school turns out to see Eddie Dowling in Blaze of Glory , and last but not least the old favorite, Mickey Mouse at our annual Movie Benefit. The proverbial good time is had by all but the best part of the evening is the very noticeable increase in the coffers of the treasury. Cur Singles Player, Dreyer, is unable to play in the Tennis Match at Patchogue, so she is replaced by Gen Spurga, who does her best but finally loses the match. Port's Baseball Nine goes to Huntington only to be defeated to the mournful tune of a 9-4 score. Now l'm asking you, Is this a nice way to treat company? Here is a rare treat-John Gurney, one time member of Roxy's gang, comes to Port High to entertain us with a fine program of varied selections. His winning smile wins him as many admirers as his marvelous voice. The Baseball Team is becoming downhearted as we lose an- other game. This time we lose to Northport but the score is very close, 6-5. Better luck next time, Team. june Huntington swoops clown suddenly upon our Baseball Team and gives them a severe shock to the score of a I2-O game. Port's Nine rallies round our reputation and trim's Islip's Baseball Team with a 3-o score. Our Music Department has grown so during the past year that instead of combining the Music Festival with the Prize Speaking Contest, as formerly, a whole evening is devoted to Music alone. The solos and the compositions the orchestra renders, and the selections by the Girls' Glee Club have 36 I 6 13 19 21-25 l Gfrgstal. K A TIGHT? enough charm to soothe a whole tribe of Savage Beasts. Qur Girls' Track Team returns after a victorious session at the annual Track Meet at Patchogue! They win more points than all the other schools put together! Three Cheers and a Tiger! The Seniors turn bakers and sell the cakes and pies con- tributed fand prepared?j by the members of the class. The combination of a fine day, tempting food and good salesman- ship makes a goodly profit for the class. Regents VVeek! An unusual hush pervades the school while each student undergoes his ordeal by fire out of which the majority emerge unscathed. Next fall we will learn just how well we prepared for this test by the general average but in the meantime say Goodbye to all cares for in an- other week we are free for two glorious months of vacation. On this night the Reverend Peter joshua delivers an address, Life's Most Lofty Ambition , for the benefit of those stu- dents who now are leaving their Grammar School Days behind them and at least enter that magic land--High School. The Baccalaureate Service is conducted in the Methodist Church by Reverend VVatson Wallace and Graduation Week has begun. The last informal Get-Together of the Class of '31 convenes on Class Night --although it is in a Way a parting the Seniors certainly make merry, to the tremendous enjoyment of the audience. Graduation Night-The Seniors solemnly march down the aisle between a double row of Juniors carrying Daisy Chains, and seat themselves on the platform, perhaps for the last time! Dr. Bartholow delivers the address of the evening, My Graduation Jewel , after which the various awards are bestowed. Irene Newberry receives the Most Valuable Stu- dent Award, while Gen Spurga and Bill Davis tie for sec- ond placeg Bill Davis also receives the Valedictorian prize plus other prizes for scholastic excellence in Languages, History, and Science. All in all Mr. Davis turns out to be quite the prize winner of the evening, if I may venture to joke on such a solemn occasion. The Seniors, now Alumni, eat, drink, and are merry Cnot that they intend to die the next day, unless from indigestionj at the annual banquet. Although they ate and drank last night they are still merry as they dance to the peppy tunes of a good orchestra, ,til dawn fpardon mej-I2 o'clock. After the strains of Home Sweet Home die away, they suddenly realize that they are no longer an active part of Port. 37 9 6 9 16 7 9 I Cifrgztsxl l ilE5 E7 September School days-'Memories of the Hickory Stick come back to me, but it certainly is good to be here once again! just peek in to that new laboratory Qit's the pride of Mr. Vander- meulen's heart, and it should be, for it is modeled after the one in Harvard University!!!j Stop, look and listen to us rave over our new Athletic Field! Gf course it isn't all com- pleted but it is far enough along to allow us to win all our games on it this year. More good news! VVe've broken some more records by having three scholarships awarded to Margaret Lowry, VVil- liam Davis, and Clyde Melendy! These scholarships surpass all those of previous years but not being content with that, the rest of the students went right ahead and earned a Re- gents' Record of QO.3fk ! ll The first organized movement in the school, the Subscription Contest, gets merrily under way with Londy Gaynor and Ollie Darling heading the Green or Navy Team and Bill Godfrey and Emma Rogers in charge of the Red or Army Team. NVe've been taught the best and kindest way to sell a subscription to an unwilling customer so the results ought to come pouring in any day now. October The honor of christening the new Athletic Field goes to the Girls' Soccer Team which lives up to all expectations and defeats Islip, I-o. A great combination-a good held and an excellent team! The first defeat of the Soccer team is delivered by the hands of Patchogue, our erstwhile enemy and deadliest rival, 3-0. Hear Ye!! The first Cross Country Team in the History of Port Jefferson goes to Great Neck but is overcome by a more experienced team. Some first class material has been discovered among the boys which ought to develop into a championship team in a few years. Port's Football Eleven sends Smithtown home badly beaten after a thrilling game on our new held. Maybe the band, which gave its initial performance at a football game today, spurred them on to such a victory, but whatever the cause, we're rejoicing. The Girls' Soccer Team holds Smithtown to a 2-2 tie in a well played contest. The Phi Delta Sigma holds the election of officers in the opening meeting of 1931-32. The officers are: Olive Darling, Londy Gaynor, Mary Miller, Vivian Thompson and Harry Purvis. VVe foresee a good year for the Dramatic Club as Miss Purdum, the new English Teacher, becomes our new leader. 38 20 23 4 26 27 31 5 6 7 3 l Cifrgsrtul Tiiffij The Girls' Soccer Team ties again! This time it is with Bay Shore, 1-1. Another victory is chalked up to the Soccer Team's credit as Smithtown goes down in defeat to the tune of 2-0. Are we in good spirits! In the most exciting Football Game of the season Our Eleven holds Patchogue down to a mere 2, which any sane person knows is no score for a football game. What a game! Even if the score is 2-0 it was, by far, the best game of the season. Bay Shore defeats Port in a close Soccer game, by one point. They had to give Laura Sills, one of our best players, a black eye to do it. Talk about hair-breadth victories, VVhew! VVC turn the tables on Islip, defeating them 1-0. I guess yes- terday's defeat put our Soccer Team on its mettle. Miss Wing, ably helped by a social committee, puts over a I-Iallowe'en Dance. Good music, a nice Hoor, and regular Hallowe'en refreshments. This dance is the first of its kind but it is such a success that it will soon be followed by many others. Our Cross Country Team loses to Great Neck but they are rapidly becoming more proficient every day and show great improvement. November Last Thursdaywe held the nominations for the Student Organization and today all We need are a few soap boxes and the other accessories of a political campaign. After the dust of battle is cleared we find that our old friend Londy Gaynor is president. Congratulations to you and the other officers, who are: Ollie Darling, Mary Miller, and Ned Bayles. The Red team pays-and pays-and pays. In other words the members of the losing team in the subscription contest serve ice cream and cake to the winners at our ice cream party. VVe really have cause for celebration this year as we made more money than ever before!!! Yesterday's celebration spurred the Football Team on to a tremendous victory over Sayville, 27-ol!! The game is ex- cellent but all the rooters are evidently at home nursing their ruined digestions. Too much ice cream? or cake? or both? The first play of the season, Ann's New Husband , pre- sented under the capable direction of Miss Bowers, certainly is one howling success. Poor Ann lets her imagination run away with her thus involving her neighbors, her relations, and even a total stranger in a series of escapades which are hugely enjoyed by the audience. XVhen you shake the money 39 l fffrgsfilsxl - jffoT' box it also gives forth the most delightful chinking, thanks to all those energetic ticket sellers. December In a special assembly we are at first mystified by Mr. Dietric and his assistant, Miss Brown, with some legerdemain, and afterwards soothed by his music on the Xylophone and the bells. This year Gym Nite is a scene taken from toyland, in which all the toys suddenly come very much to life and provide a very entertaining evening to a full house. Kings Park throws both Basketball Teams for a loss in the first game of the season. Cheer up, fans, this is only a prac- tice tilt. Goodbye, School! Hello, Vacation! VVe Won't be back for a while but you'd better lay in your midnight oil now, for when we do return Regents will be waiting to greet us. But right now it is Merry Xmas, Everyone and a Happy New Year l The annual Dramatic Club Dance gives all the alumni a chance to talk over old times and this year they certainly are well represented. In fact there are so many alumni that we actually realize some profit on the dance, which is very unusual. january Port Jefferson's Basketball Teams take Smithtown for a double victory in the two most exciting games of the season. The boys' game is so close that the excited shouts of the onlookers drown the referee's whistle announcing the end of the game! Excitement is intense as the school presents the second play of the season, The I-lidden Guest . NVe seem to do our best in Mystery plays and this one is spooky enough to satisfy the most exacting person. Miss Purdum, directress, is to be congratulated on her able direction of the play. NVe sail merrily through Regents Week with an average of 89.670 which, although it does not come up to last June's record, excels last January's. If you believe in signs you will see right here that it augurs well for next June. WVe lose two basketball games, in one evening, to Islip. This is rather a setback but we'll snap out of it with the char- acteristic I'. spirit. February Edward Bayles and Samuel Tuthill, as Editor-in-Chief and assistant editor, of the new Purple Parrot Staff edit a cork- ing issue just to let us see what they can do in the way of publishing a good paper. They do it again. VVell, this is getting to be a habit. In other words the Purple I'arrot Staff keeps up its good work and 40 l Gfrgsrtsxl. l - Tqgr? edits another good issue in which we are informed that an operetta entitled Soniay' is to be put on in a few weeks. Nancy Olsen has the leading role. Good work, Nancy! After the crushing defeat we inflicted upon Smithtown last Friday they arrive tonight with murder in their eyes and reap their revenge to the scores of 23 and I7-Io. Now we are even. The American Legion celebrates VVashington's Birthday by a parade ending at the school house and an evening of inter- esting speeches. The Reverend Karl Moore is the guest speaker of the evening. Under the able direction of Miss Purdum our third and last play is presented. Kempy reveals the usual troubles of a middle class family besides the misfortune of an artistic daughter who upsets the 'whole household by bringing home as her husband not the millionaire, they thought, but a plumber! Despite these mishaps everything turns out right in the end especially for the school treasury! March Instead of regular assembly this week We are entertained by the Elizabethan Players who present three scenes from Shakespeare's Macbeth , The Seniors, who are now study- ing the play in English are especially interested. A delayed banquet, celebrating NVashington's Birthday, is given under Miss NVing's management. Each class competes in a contest for the best decorated table and after the de- licious food is consumed the classes put on their own enter- tainment. The Junior Class's depiction of Our Gang Inter- viewing George VVashington is especially enjoyed. The prize, a silver loving cup, goes to the Freshmen with our compliments, and the hope that they will keep up the good work. Another addition to the school!! Archery and Field Hockey equipment are here and practice was started the other day. The girls are very enthusiastic and came out in large num- bers for the first practice. It looks as though Miss VVhitney ought to have very little trouble in choosing a good team from the ranks. The last event for me to chronicle has come and gone-the local New York Times Contest, in Chapel. Of the ten Olive Darling takes first prize and Mary Miller comes in second, and Perina Sini, third. Olive will uphold the honor of the school in the County Contest. Emma Rogers wins the prize given to the student whose essay excels in research. Con- gratulations, VVinners all! At last, with sighs -of pure happiness we close our books for ten whole days and we're od-for a Happy Easter! FINIS.

We are well represented in many school activities such as track, soccer, music, dramaties, dancing, and the Cafeteria.

Mr. John Hesse From the hne picture above you can see the large and ener- getic group of boys and girls that makes up the Freshman Class of 1932. There are 72 pupils in this number and they are all willing workers. This is the first time that the Freshman Class has ever been so large and it bids fair to establish a never-to-be-fcmrgotten record in Port Jefferson lrligh School, if it keeps up the good work it has already started. livery term there are Freshmen on the honor roll and often one at the head of it. Look-and find part of this enthusiastic class in the Orchestra, lland, Uperettas, Gym Nites, all sports and any other activities about school! Just to top off its capability, the Freshman Class won the silver cup that was awarded for the best decorated table at the George Washington Banquet on March eleventh.

We may proudly say that we are the lirst Seventh Grade to have this privilege. ln September our class numbered forty-two out of which twenty-one were promoted into the first half of the lfighth Grade in January. This is a slightly larger percentage than advanced last year. Last fall we moved to a new home room. lt is much pleasanter than Room liight and can more easily accommodate our large class. ln the spring we plan to hold a cake sale, the proceeds of which will he used to pay for the insertion of this picture.

The idea conceived five years ago was to give every High School student an oppor- tunity to gain the utmost knowledge of and to participate in the activities of his school. To be eligible to participate in the activities of the school it is absolutely necessary to be a member of the Stu- dent Organization. Then too, by having a large society the member- ship dues could be greatly reduced to the benefit of all. A membership to the Student Organization may be obtained in two ways: either the student 'may immediately pay the fee of 353.50 in full or he may take advantage of an easy payment plan which has been devised whereby a student deposits an initial fee of fifty cents and pays fifteen cents a week thereafter until the entire amount has been paid. The Student Organization membership pays large dividends. For the 33.50, the student receives a ticket which admits him to every game and dramatic event held at the school. If the student has paid four years' dues, he is entitled to a free trip to XVashington provided he fulfills other urgent conditions, especially satisfactory scholarship. The student who enters the athletic field also reaps some of its benefits by wearing uniforms and equipment purchased with the money of the Student Organization. So it is easy to perceive that by joining the Student Organization a student is benefiting himself immensely. Last November the customary election of officers was held, first in the form of a nominating convention, then in the form of actual voting. Nominating and seconding speeches were made after which each nominator escorted his candidate to the platform. The following week each member of the Student Organization polled his secret ballot. The resultant officers whom the students esteeme-d worthy of the various positions are listed above. Edward liayles, '33, 52 THE STUDENT COUNCIL l Cifrgsftul l - ifEjE5 Svtuhent Qinuncil The Student Council is the official governing body of the school. It is composed of the officers of the most important organ- izations in the school. They are the presidents of the four classes, the editors-in-chief of the Crystal and the Purple Parrot, the officers of the Student Organization, the chief officers 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 Stu- dent Organization are allowed to serve on this board. As the Student Council does not have an election of ofhcers Mr. Vander- meulen acts as the chairman at all the meetings. 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 recipients of the awards. A proposed club must receive the sanction of the Council before it becomes othcially a part of the Port Jefferson High School. The Council chooses the leader, assistants, and business 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 Wfashington 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 percent. 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 Letter 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. VVith each Letter a certificate is awarded. In place of a Letter a student may take a star if he so desires. ' Olive Darling, '32, 54 l Mrgiatul. K j 2 THE STAFF The iBurpIe iBarrnt The fl'urple Parrot is the school News issued by a student staff every week on Wlednesday. Its purpose is to convey to the pupils in lligh School the important weekly happenings. During the first term this honor is held by the Seniors and the next term is handed on to the juniors. Members of the Junior Class who coin- prise the second staff are highly honored by this distinction. Une can subscribe to the paper for the school year at a much lower rate than can be obtained by paying the regular price of an individual copy. The first week in February, IQ32, following the annual pro- cedure, the new staff put out its lirst issue of The ,l'urple lfarrot, the famous heralder of Port Jefferson lligh Sehoolis weekly events. This issue and the following ones proved that this new body of students has lived up to the reputation of their predecessors. Fine co-operation on the part of the members with the faculty adviser, Miss Thomson and the lfditor-infchief, lfdward llayles helped to make this year's issues of The l'urple l'arrot better than ever. More power to them!

' K, Elizabeth Darling .go For the past few years the cheering section of our school has not been what one would consider good. However, this year we are glad to say that it has been much improved. Great improvement was manifested, especially in the out of town games which drew large attendance with line school spirit. We are sorry' to have to admit that the boys are still reluctant in volunteering to lead cheers. However, at the closing basketball tilt of the season Charles, lirown showed his ability by leading the school in several yells. lllizabeth Darling and Marion Gaynor deserve mention for being present at nearly all the games and arousing eonsiderable pep,'. Frances Lynn, one of our best cheerleaders, since she was one of the mem- bers of the girls, team, was able to lead only in the boys, games. but we appreciated that immensely. l.ast but not least our otlieial cheerleader, lletty Terry, faithfully put in her appearance at all the games. lilizabeth Terry, '32, 56 l Urgztul l ' iii 1 x Banca Qbrcbnzstra Evelyn Jewell, l'iano Lorraine XYheeler, Saxophone Helen Glock, Violin Henry lfberhart, Saxophone Louise Thurston, Yiolin Helen Lowry, Saxophone Charles lirown, llass Yiol Lawrence Gaynor, Drums l.ate in October, 1Q3I, eight of our musical students, chosen by Miss Hosley, assembled to compose a Dance Orchestra. .Xfter a few practices they played for the 'llhursday noon dancing. This organization, being hard pressed for a time to practice, did not gain its full stride for a few weeks but once it did that certain somethingv in its music was always present. lts members deserve much credit because of the sacrifice they make. Consider this, they would like to be dancing' too. The Dance Orchestra has also proved to be a valuable asset after basketball games for the past few seasons. just ask anyone traveling with this scason's basketball teams and theylll tell you that, You might beat our basketball teams but you can't beat our Dance Orchestraf' At our George XYashington banquet the orchess tra again contributed to the enjoyment with its smooth melody- making as it did for the Operetta and the Hallowelen Dance. This year's Orchestra is a huge improvement and Miss Hosley looks forward to next year as the best ever.

At present the organization has a larger variety of bass instruments than it has had heretofore. Of course, some of the musicians are not yet accom- plished enough in their art to be able to play difficult classical com- positions at sight. However, the younger members of the orchestrag deserve commendation for their excellent progress since their en- trance into the organization. The school dance orchestra is composed of eight members of this organization, including two violins, three saxophones, bass viol, drums, and piano. These people furnish the music for dancing each Thursday noon, and after basketball games. Gur able conductress, Miss Hosley, has directed the orchestra in several outstanding performances in connection with the school's dramatic productions this year, as well as in our weekly assemblies.

It is a preparation for the Senior Orchestra. There are pupils in it ranging from the Fourth Grade to the Senior Class in the High School. Naturally, those members who are now in the Fourth Grade, thru' constant weekly practices each succeeding year, should be more accomplished players when they become eligible to join the Senior Orchestra on reaching the Seventh Grade. Therefore the same pupils will be in the latter six years. This sys- tem Will be a great aid in building up a more stabilized Senior organization, and remove the difficulty of readjustment each year to train new material with the more experienced musicians. A few additions have been made to the Junior Orchestra this year: two pianists and two eellists. Some have been lost because of graduation and still others have advanced to the Senior Orches- tra. VVe hope that the Junior Orchestra will be steadily larger and better in the years to come. Charles Bayles, '36.

VV'e miss many of last year's members, although new ones have come to take their places. The Band, though not quite as large as it was last year, has im- proved greatly under the untiring supervision of Miss Hosley. The Band has proven its success on many occasions such as the Fourth of July Celebration 1931, at church affairs and very recently at the VVashington Bicentennial Celebration, February 22. Last fall, playing between halves at football games, the band lent a collegiate air to the sport. Mr. Vandermeulen had promised the band uniforms but be- cause of the shortage of school funds he could not carry out the plan this year. Miss Hosley suggested that boxes be placed in several parts of the school, to collect tinfoil from candy wrappings, etc., the money earned from the sale will start a small fund. This economical way to help equip the Hand with uniforms is now being executed. It will take a long time but with the hearty co-operation of the students, we hope it will succeed. Last spring the Band appeared in the Spring Festival of Music and now it is preparing to appear in it again, it will play an im- portant part in the program. XYe hope to see the liland become one of the outstanding organizations of the High School. Helen Lowry, '35. 62 1 2' '?h++f- 63 THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND l Qlrgsiul l 4 -Em?

There was plenty of everything in the Hidden Guestv presented Saturday evening, january 23l'fl. Perina Sini, as the deaf maid Melanthuria, entertained all with her spirits and warnings. Londy Gaynor, as a middle aged gentle- man lost the lady of his choice, Mary Miller, but a lady equally charming, Jane Archer, made him happy in the end. VValdo Ran- dall, the hidden guest, but really an innocent Frosh being initiated into a fraternity, was escorted to the haunted house by Harry Purvis, a bright young college boy. VVhile in the house, XValdo be- came involved in plenty of trouble. You see, the middle-aged gentleman was none other than VValdo's father and when XYaldo accidentally met Mary it was love at first sight. Meanwhile Mary put herself into many embarassing situations trying to protect him from being discovered by the others but he was finally discovered. Elizabeth Robertson made a real Aunt Minnie indeed with her weeping and nervousness. XVilliam Nohejl furnished the spirit element as an escaped convict, but to Melons he was the Spirit of Uncle Timothyn. Ethel Joynes, Vtlilliam Miller and Milton Smith played minor parts but nevertheless did very well in their respective roles. Miss Purdum, the directress, is to be highly complimented on the play's success. Frank Robbins, Prompter. 3Kzmpp On February 20th the last play of the season, Kempy',, was presented. It was one of the best ever produced here. Kempy, really an architect, temporarily a plumber, marries Katherine Hence whom he meets while repairing the plumbing in her home. To spite Duke Merrill with whom she really is in love but has had a silly quarrel, Katherine encourages Kempy. Kempy further entangles the plot by falling in love with Ruth, Kate's younger sister. -lane, the oldest of the three girls, now happily mar- ried to Ben NVade, makes some very untimely appearances thus adding to the already complicated plot, while Ma Renee never quite finishes her faint as Pan is forever telling her to faint up- stairs, if she must. Thanks to the able direction of Miss lfurdum this play earned all the hearty congratulations extended. Jean Dayton, Promptress. Lewis Davis who distinguished himself by reliability as scenery man for nearly every production of the year, deserves especial mention. Merton Mattfeld also gave line service while Yllilliam Miller and Drhu Meeker proved themselves reliable as stage managers. 70 l Cifrgztal l TT'QiH':j' Gym jautz . Gym Nite was presented on two nights, December 17 and 19, to accommodate the many people who come to see this annual pro- duction. It is one of the most popular presentations of the year, probably due to its diversified program and the great number of Grammar School as well as High School children who participate. The scene was laid in a toyshop. As soon as the weary toy- maker fell asleep, dainty fairies waked the mechanical toys and changed them into alert, living dolls, tops, dominoes, balloons, cats, dogs, and clowns, the toymaker, they led away. The mischievous toys then staged a parade which served as an introduction to the acts, dances and drills which followed. This part of the program was contributed by children in the grades. High School students rendered songs, dances, a chalk talk and drills in the second part. A fan dance prettily executed by a group of girls in charming costumes won especial comment as an outstanding feature. Mystic, Merry, Toyland suddenly resumed its usual order when the toys scurried back to their places on the shelves, and elves brought back the unsuspecting toymaker to awake. The audience was carried away to a land of make-believe by the setting and the unique costumes. XYC owe a debt of gratitude to Miss VVhitney who is respon- sible for the success and originality of the production. Nancy Olsen, '32. Zllihv QBpsrztta imma On April I5 and 16 the annual operetta was produced in the auditorium by the music department under the admirable super- vision of Miss Norma L. Hosley. The show would not have been as successful as it was, however, without the co-operation of the art classes, under Mrs. Alice F. Ludwick, in making the attractive scenery, posters and some of the costumes, and several dance chor- uses well trained by Miss Eleanor NVhitney. The story placed in an American college and a Russian cas- tle, and abounding with ransoms, captive fathers, etc. centered around the romance of Sonia Markova QNancy Olsenj a Russian girl in an American college, who had lost her father, and Pat Dunn fHarry Purvisj the most popular boy on the campus. Henry Clay and Olive Darling added pep and romance portraying typical college cut-ups. Ajariah Smythe, the absent-minded professor , in the person of Clement Atkinson, and Martha Mayflower, Sonia's maiden aunt, QVeronica Mattfeldj offered most amusing scenes. Jane Archer and NVilliam Godfrey, both blackmailers, Vyfilliam Noheil, George Tsantes, Vtlaldo Randall and Susie Bergen performed their minor parts on a par with the rest of the acting which made this colorful, lively operetta.

The High School, at this time, expresses thanks to Mr. Scherer for his kind donation of the prizes. Samuel Tuthill, '34. Hem Burk Qliimes Qlluntest, 1931 The New York Times contest for essays and orations on The Constitution of the United States is an annual event in our school. This year the prize for the best essay was won by XYilliam Davis. Three contestants, Clyde Melendy, XYilliam Davis, and Mar- garet Prietzel delivered their orations in assembly. Of these Clyde Melendy won first place, and the honor of representing Port Jeffer- son in the semi-finals at Smithtown, and Margaret Prietzel received honorable mention. Clyde made a good showing at Smithtown, but failed to place for Port jefferson in the finals. lNe consider it an honor that our Orchestra was requested to furnish the music at Sniithtown.

Baseball Sweasnn, 1931 Much pep and interest was exhibited this season and when the call for batterymen came from Coach Kiessling, many promising young candidates appeared out on the diamond limbering up. The rest of the squad started practice early in April and the tryouts were very encouraging. More than enough players for two complete teams took up the sport and therefore real opposition was available for the first team in daily practices. As a result of this, much reserve material was produced which made each regular fight just a little harder to keep his berth. Qur first game of the season, on May I, was played here and the Port team came out victorious. Good boys! They scored a de- cisive 6-I victory over Smithtown, and completely outplayed the red-and-white in every department of the game. Butch,' Schlagen- hauser twirled a line game, allowing only three scattered singles during the entire game. On May I2 we journeyed to Northport where the Royal Purple again came out victors by the one-sided score of IO-3. The heavy guns of the Port sluggers blasted three Northport pitchers from the mound and collected sixteen hits in all. Krause led the attack with three hits, two being extra base wallops. At Islip on May I5 however, Port went down to defeat in a close slugging contest which finally ended IO-8. Even home runs by Schlagenhauser and Lee could not turn the tables, for the fre- quent hits by Islip from two of our pitchers proved too much, net- ting them ten runs. - May 22 came and once more we were to meet Smithtown. But this time there was a different side to the story for Port lost in this extra inning contest 6-5. Both teams played smart baseball but the Smithtown aggregation deserved their well earned victory. Port next traveled to Huntington for another trouncing, this time by a team superior in every department. Those flashy Hunt- ington boys defeated our nine 9-4. On May 2Q we played Northport on our own field. It-was ex- citingly close from start to finish. Butch Schlagenhauser turned in a pitching masterpiece but all in vain. They defeated our nine in a real, good, tight game 6-5. Our purple nine again took a severe trimming at the hands of the peppy Huntington nine. The Port bats just could not function while the Elue and Whites of Huntington accumulated sixteen scat- tered hits from the offerings of three of our pitchers. In the closing game of the season our Purple nine showed early season form and clipped down their Islip opponents to a score of 3-I in a line pitchers' duel between Egan of Islip and our own Butch. Nearly this entire personnel will be with us to play the 1932 season. Here's luck to you, boys! 76 I Qlfrgztsxl.

They were faithful at practices and therefore deserve much credit. Our line men were strong, large and heavy. They smeared the plays of the opposition repeatedly and opened large holes in the opponent's lines for our Heet backs. VVitness the fact that they had only eight points scored through them during the entire season. The first battle of the season came on October I7 when Smith- town paid us a visit. Smithtown was entirely outclassed by our fast purple warriors and the iinal score stood I3-0 in favor of dear old Port. Fine work, boys! Keep it up. On October 24 our boys went to play l atchogue's fine machine. The two strong heavy lines battled evenly until the third quarter when Patchogue forced Port back to the live yard line. In an at- tempt to kick out of danger, an unlucky break came when one of our backs fumbled. Patchogue took advantage of this break to score a safety netting them two points. Port fought hard to regain but could not quite succeed in turning the tide. The final score gave Patchogue 2, Port Jefferson o. Tough luck, boys. You played win- ning football all the way. Bay Shore's boys, our next foe, had not lost a game thus far when they invaded old Port with a cocksure attitude, an attitude which soon changed. After the first few minutes of play, Port forced Bay Shore back to the twenty yard lineg at this point Ray Shore held. The ball see-sawed up and down the field through a score- less first half. In the third quarter however Bay Shore carried the pigskin over the goal line for the one score of the day. The final score was 6-O. The last game of the season we played here against Sayville. Our eleven worked very smoothly and humbled the opposing eleven with a score of 27-0. Every man played a hne game, no stars could be selected. Our reserves were inserted into the fray in the closing minutes and they too overpowered our Sayville opponents. Eight of these eleven boys have played their last game for dear old Port Jeff. Boys, you certainly christened our new athletic field in a line manner with that I3-O victory over Smithtown. This year's team may be justly classed as one of the best foot- gball teams ever produced in the history of our school. iNe're off! Keep up the good work! - 78 I Cirgiaiul - igjljw?

This yearls first squad was to consist of every member of last year's squad save' two, but when the workouts got under way many of these were missing. On january 2 our team played the Alumni in an evenly matched contest, losing by the close count of I8-17. This was a well-played game and Coach Kiessling seemed more than pleased with the first showing of his team. After the quintet had played non-league games against the Circle .-X. C., Kings Park and East Islip, the official season really began. Our five began creditably by defeating the fast Smithtown quintet on our own court by the close score of 20-19. The game proved interesting to watch and it exhibited fast clean play through- out. This can easily be classed the most stirring game played on this court in many years. The cheering became so intense that, for the game to go on, the referee was compelled to halt the game several times to call for silence. The second game was played at Lindenhurst. Though they offered a good defense, our boys were outclassed and fell in defeat to the tune of I3-7. Un January 22 our purple quintet invaded Islip and took the second beating of the season. The game was close until the final whistle blewg the score stood 20-I7 in favor of our fast, shifty and more experienced opponents. The next week, February 5, we took on the green quintet of Lindenhurst in a return game. XVe bowed before a more nimble and more experienced team. The Lindenhurst five took the lead early in the game and used freezing', tactics until the final whistle, and Ilort fans gazed mournfully at the twenty-five points chalked up for Lindenhurst against Port's twelve. Our return game on February I2 with Smithtown, whom we had previously beaten, resulted in another victory for our oppo- nents, by the wide margin of 23-IO. Substitutes frequently halted the game because the regulars were very much off form. Our final game of the season was played at home against the championship Islip hve. Islip took a Io-2 lead in the first half which Port did not threaten seriously in proportion throughout the game. As far as winning games is concerned, this team could not boast the title of a fgood team , but it would rank among the lead- ers in Fair Play. The highlight of the season was that stirring Smithtown battle which gave us a 20-IQ victory. VVill you ever for- get that thrilling game? Each defeat these boys suffered could be classed as a glorious one. Regulars and substitutes alike gave their best. NYho could do more?

As a result of these tryouts, Frank Robbins was chosen to stand up for dear old l'ort in the Singles and in the Doubles Joseph Terry and NVilliam Zakas were chosen to swing the racquet. Before the oiiicial matches were to be played off our teams engaged in practice contests with Bay Shore and Center Moriches. The boys did not make out very well but refused to let that dis- courage them for they entered their first official match, with Pat- chogue, confident of victory. Frank Robbins came out on the short end in the Singles match losing to a much more expemenced raequeteer by a score 6-0, 6-1, 6-2. Vkiilliam Zakas and joseph Terry failed to beat the Doubles Team of Patchogue who were pressed hard to gain their margin victories, 8-6, 6-3, 6-2. In this sport also we may look forward to a very successful season in 1932 clue to the fact that we have a large quantity of good material for Tennis left over from last season. Here's luck for next year, boys! Girls' Zlliennis Exam, 1931 The annual High School Tennis tournament took place during early May. As there were many of last yearis tennis stars still re- maining in school, a successful year was predicted. This prediction was somewhat justified as Virginia Dreyer once again became the Girls' Singles champion of Sulfolk County. This makes the third successive year that Ginny has brought renown to Port jeff. High. This tournament formed the basis for selection of the other members of the Girls' Tennis Team. Genevieve Spurga and Olive Darling composed the Doubles team. The first match was against our old tennis-rival, Patchogue. After a hard battle Virginia was triumphant in the Singles, but the Doubles team finally lost out. Miss Dreyer continued to better her opponents, thus becoming the champion. Although we had only one championship player we felt well satished and have high hopes that as the years progress we will rate as well or better. S4 l Urgztul - gjg?i,7 The 3?-Zem Qtbletir Jfislh One of the conspicuous events of the school year, IQSI-32 was the opening of the new Port jefferson High School Athletic Field. VVe suitably celebrated the occasion by winning the first game played on the field, a soccer game. Throughout the year the ath- letic teams of Port have been notably successful on their new field. This development removes an annoying handicap experienced by teams of former years for it provides a convenient center for all sport activities, eliminating the necessity of hiring a distant field which we could not properly develop to suit our needs. The property chosen is the most convenient possible for the school ath- letes, being near the center of town and therefore an excellent ren- dezvous for our rooters and supporters. lNe now have a quarter mile race track and much additional track equipment, the lack of which sorely hindered our track teams of previous years. XVe are now in a position to repay the hospitality of those schools which invited us to compete on their grounds when we were unequipped for track meets. XVe are proud of our large smooth field on which to play our football, soccer, baseball and hockey games. The field which was formerly used for these sports was a rough, undersized field, a large corner of which was swamp in which our outlielders proved their aquatic ability when some aspiring Babe Ruth connected. The journey between the school and Station Field as it was called used to be traveled in the celebrated Ford owned by Mr. Kiessling. The poor old Ford was released from service when it expired after carrying home a squad of twenty- two f22j football players after the last game. It is planned to have four tennis courts and an archery range in the near future. The pond at the east end of the field will pro- vide a place for ice hockey in the winter. The property consists of fourteen acres which provides ample room for expansion in ath- letic activities. In choosing the property and grading the land, the school ofiicials gave serious consideration to the site with a view to using it for a future high school building, which may be necessitated by the steadily increasing registration. ' XVe will reach the peak of our ambitions when a new modern high school building is erected on the hill overlooking the lield and town. Harry Purvis, ,32. 35 l Urgiaial l tgp? , 1 X GIRLS' FIELD if-IOCKEY SQUAD Jflelh Iiaurkep To keep up the old and crpate new interest in athletics, new sports are introduced from time to time in our school. The most recent addition was Field Hockey. So far it seems to have aroused latent athletic ability in a large number of our girls. NVQ have had only one week of practice because of operetta rehearsals, but during that week nearly fifty girls turned out to learn how to use hockey sticks. XYhen the operetta is over we will resume practice with more enthusiasm and sportsmanship than ever. There has been a controversy concerning Field Hockey and Track, in next year's athletics. If there is enough sentiment against it Track will be replaced by Hockey. There will be no league games but each school is making its own schedule. Port Jefferson is to play four interschool games this year. Remember the slogan Team for every girl, every girl on a teamu, which means that a team is not necessarily supposed to win all games to make it a line team. It is the sportsmanship of the thing and the many healthful benelits which one derives and en- joys from it. So let's see some more girls out for Field Hockey. After all, you know, sports are good tonics for spring fever.

The score of the first game, though in favor of Kings Park, 24-20, revealed fine possibilities for the team as this game was played after only one practice. At East Islip the girls did not fare so well as they were defeated by I8 points. During the Christmas holidays the Alumnae cracker-jack team defeated the varsity by a score of 38-19. But these defeats did not dispirit the girls. In the first league game of the season the Port team easily broke through the Smith- town defense and were victorious with the score of 22-Q. This game was characterized by the heartiest and most enthusiastic cheering of the year. The following week the team met Lindenhurst. The Port team, rather awed on Lindenhurst's court, which was larger by far than those on which they are accustomed to playing, got off to a poor start. The girls were not able to recover themselves in time to raise the score. The fifth game of the season took place at Islip. Although the Port team put up stiff opposition the Islip team, which had a very fine system, was the victor by a score of 27-IQ. On February 5, Lindenhurst came to Port Jefferson for a re- turn game. During the first half Port held the Lindenhurst team to a comparatively even score, but Lindenhurst came back and played the second half zealously. The final score was 37-I5 in their favor. The next week Port's teams journeyed to Smithtown. This game was marked by an innumerable number of fouls which proved advantageous to our traditional rival. The game ended with Smith- town the winner, I7-IO. The last game of the season proved the most interesting and exciting of the year. As the teams ran on the fioor an air of deter- mination emanated from each teamg this augured a struggle. Islip suffered a disadvantage because of the difference in the size of the court. At the half Islip held the lead by one basket. The numerous fouls and repeated following of baskets by each team made the game exciting. Both teams exhibited exceptional playing. VVhen the final whistle blew Islip had but two baskets more than the Port team. Thus the basketball season ended as it had begun, by a hard- fought game. Though the team did not fare as well as was expected, Port's sextette worked their hardest and exhibited the customary good sportsmanship. go 7 L. I Llrgsfiul I jDT'?

This year the custom still exists after the league games had ended, the class and sec- tion teams were organized. The first game renewed the old feud between the Seniors and Juniors. The Seniors proved to be the better of the two and won by the rather large score of 3-0. The Sophomorcs easily defeated their rivals, the Freshmen, by a score of 2-o. The last game, a play-off between the two winning teams, which was to determine which class becomes the champions, was won by the Seniors by two goals. The Sophsy' presented a stiff fight but the final score was 2-0. The first place in sectional games which are viewed as eagerly as the inter-class contests was won by Class I. They are played oft in like manner. Qirls' ilnterclass Basketball Besides the league basketball games, Inter-class and Inter- mural games take place annually. These contests give practical ex- perience to beginners for later participation in varsity games. The Inter-class games proved most exciting this season due to the natural competitive spirit that exists between the four classes. The opening game was between the Seniors and Juniors. The former really had the Hedgel' on the other classes they claimed five of the members of the varsity team. The Juniors badly beaten did not despair and played hard and furiously. The Fresh- man-Sophomore contest was the more exciting of the two as the final score was a tie. Instead of having a toss-up or a deciding game the Sophomores forfeited the game. Then came the deciding game which turned out in an overwhelming victory for the Seniors. The first of the Inter-mural games was between Period 5 and Period 7. The latter period defeated the former by two points. Period 3 then played Period I to a victorious finish. In the last game, Period 7 bettered Period 3 by a terrific score. The girls especially enjoy these games because they offer an opportunity for many to participate. 92 l Qlrgrfiul l j 13? Gym Blast On Thursday evening, April 30, I93I, under the auspices of Miss Whitney and Mr. Kiessling, the fifth annual Gym Meet of our High School was presented by students of the Junior and Senior divisions of the High School. From the entrance March to the closing song, this meetiwas enthusiastically enjoyed both by the spectators and the participants and it was due to the whole-hearted co-operation and generous applause on the part of the on-lookers that the Seniors and the Seventh Grade were spurred on to success. However, the struggle was a hard one, for the juniors and the Eighth Grade offered very persistent competition. But after the final attempts at originality, the class stunts and the various drills the former were found to have attained the desired goal-Victory. Miss XVhitney and Mr. Kiessling deserve our hearty gratitude for the effort they put forth to make this meet the success that it was, and the students who participated are to be congratulated on their ine display of sportsmanship and school spirit.

Not a sound there was to disquiet the infinite stillness of the Night, save perhaps the eery hoot of some lone owl or, perchance, the tiny rustle of a leaf disturbed by a whiff of play- ful breeze. In the distant hills faint touches of grey were slowly stealing, casting a dim light upon the darkened world. Tiny rays of light found their way to the country farm-yard and awoke the sleeping cock who, on his lofty perch, tlapped his wings and joyously pro- claimed to all the world the coming of the dawn. His exultant call aroused the birds who, from their leafy bower, twittered merrily, sending forth sweet, plaintive songs to the slumbering world. Presently a glorious flame burst through the eastern horizon, flooding the sky with a panorama of coloria vivid, dazzling orange, a pale, delicate orchid, a rich, glowing amber, a dash of dainty pink. Dame Dawn in her golden chariot came riding over the purple hills, leaving a path of crimson in her wake, driving before her the vanquished Night, diffusing the world with her warm, friendly light. Once more the Sun had triumphed over the dismal Night. Again she had become the sole mistress of the heavens. VIVIAN THOMPSGN, ,32. The 09112 Bunk tu Wake tn a Bessrt Zlsls .VX brilliant idea has afflicted me! Perhaps, on second thought, l will be accused, by my goodly classmates, of a further touch of egotism for calling it brilliant. Nevertheless my guardian angel suggested to me that the one book to take to a desert isle would be the Crystal recording the deeds of my fellow sufferers of the Class of '32, Surely this book contains inspiration enough to liberate any stranded sea-farer from his luckless predicament. If the handsome photographer does justice to the noble group, one gaze at the faces of our fair jeunes f1lles would cause the amateur Crusoe to dive forthwith into the briny deep and strike out for civilization in quest of such incomparable specimens of pulchritude. If, on the other hand, his sense of beauty was so dull that he did not feel hfs heart falter or skip a beat, the hopeless individual would soon be driven to end his misery after reading many of the examples of our literary ability-such as this. V HARRY PURVIS, '32, 96 I Cfrgztul. l 135157 2113132 Bnttufs illflissiun The little Red Bird Mission snuggled cozily in between three great mountains that towered protectingly over it. Dr. Heim, who had come from the blue grass into the mountains, and organized this little settlement far from a railroad, where mules were the only means of conveyance and men had no law but their own con- science, was beginning to feel the strain. Eight long years he had toiled unceasingly building a school house, church and hospital for these people of the mountains. He had even succeeded in making peace between the terrible Saylors and the Hiightin' lielchers. The Belcher-Saylor feud started years before from a game of marbles, was one of old standing and now the Saylors were led by Si and the Belchers by Zack, two of the iightinist men in the hills. But for several months not a shot had been hred, and Siis boy, Burley, graduated from the little high school in the same class with Zack's beautiful daughter, Fern. Many nights the full moon found them seated between the two cabins, planning and dreaming young lover's dreams. These hard, rugged men of the mountains had learned to love the young doctor, who had given the best of his life for them. They thought of the many times he had ridden over treacherous moun- tain paths in the dead of night on his faithful mule to answer sick calls and care for the wounded. The Belchers and Saylors had come to his little church together, worked and played together for the first time in many generations. Their cabins were only a short distance apart and plainly visible to each other when the trees were leafless, and between these two cabins many a man had breathed his last breath with his body filled with lead. Christmas was near. Things have a way of happening in the hills on Christmas. This Christmas Si had been appointed Deputy Sheriff and, justly proud of his position as the hrst officer of the law, he swore no liquor would get into the peaceful valley of the mission to dis- turb the doctor that Christmas. So he and Burley climbed the Beach Fork mountain where he knew men would trickle in with saddle bags filled with jars of Satan's brew. The moon flickered through the leafless trees as the two men waited in the crisp December air. They could see the mission lights blinking softly below. They could hear the hounds baying 'way off on a side hill where one had treed, a 'possum or maybe a 'coon. They sat on a dead log and thought of the change young Doctor Heim had wrought in their hills. Si jerked up as he heard a mule shoe click smartly against a rock. He made ready his rifle. At the top of the ridge the rider halted at his command. It was Zack Belcher sag- ging drunkenly in the saddle. Si spoke, You have been acrost the hill fillin' up on that Bear Creek liquor? Got any in them thar saddle bags? 97 I Ury-aiu! l Z K I don't reckon it's none a yo, business if I had. VVal, I reckon I'll be proddin' on down. Don't reckon the lil' woman 'n' Fern'll be awful glad tu see me tanked up. Haw! He spurred his mule and started on but Burley knew Zack would beat his beautiful Fern, so he grabbed the bridle to halt him, but Zacl?wasn't in a frame of mind to be crossed. The still night was pierced by a deaf- ening roar and a stab of orange light reached out from his hip. A little brown hole appeared in Burleyis chest and a great tear in the back of his jacket. Finally, as though unable to understand what had happened to him, he let his gun clatter to the rocks. Shoot 'im, Pap, kill 'im! he choked. I ain't gonna die, am I, Pap? Si, paralyzed at what had happened, watched Zack stumble off down the mountain, unable to raise his rifle. He picked Burley up in his great arms and carried him tenderly down the mountain to his brother's cabin. By daylight all of Si's kind for miles around were milling about in his small cabin, cursing and muttering threats. Si took a a steady bead on Zack's cabin door with his high powered rifle stuck through a crack in the logs, and sat patiently down to wait for his first Victim. Dawn found Zack's people too gathered in his cabin. The fire had gone out and the coal was in the little mine across the creek. But Zack dared not go out. Fern, you git out thar and git yo' Pap some coal. Si wonit shoot you, a girl. But, Pap, he might- Shet up and git agoinl Si sat behind his gun and watched Zack's door ease open. He could see no one but he aimed at the middle and pulled the trigger. Fern reeled into the yard and sagged to the hard ground, shuddered and lay still. Sunrise found Belchers and Saylors gathered in the little wait- ing room of the hospital awaiting news of Burley and Fern. Dr. Heim was doing his best to save his two patients from the valley of the shadow. He knew that if either died a general massacre would follow, with many innocent women and children the great- est sufferers. His face grew pale and ugly black rings appeared under his eyes, his fingers trembled, and his cheeks twitched nervously, but he never ceased his steady watch. Every day the doctor begged the two clans to leave their guns, but as much as they would have liked to do his bidding, they were afraid and frankly refused. ' Two weeks after the Christmas shooting, two wheel chairs were pushed into the waiting room, in them was a pale but smiling couple holding hands as if nothing mattered or anything serious had ever happened. The doctor came in and watched the men as they gazed on their children, once more healthy. Zack and Si looked each other coldly in the eye, two hands crept for two guns. All 98 l lifrgstfal - Tgjjjr? eyes were riveted on the two men. Burley and Fern begged their parents, but vainly. Zack and Si looked again at the doctor, their best friend, but the doctor no longer saw them. His eyes had a fixed stare and his hands hung loosely at his sides, his knees buckled and he toppled to the floor on his face. The men fell to their knees at his side and fervent prayers came from their lips where curses had rolled not long since. Zack and Si raised their heads and looked at each other, biting their lips to keep back the tears. Together they walked out on the porch, leaned their heads against the same stone column and sobbed out their grief, and swore lifelong friend- ship like two heartbroken children. Today if one climbed a little knoll between Zack's and Si's cabins he would come upon a little clearing surrounded by giant beech trees, and in the middle a little mound with a huge boulder at its head. Almost any day Zack and Sicould be found there, whittling and talking old times, like the two old cronies they are. Or he might find Burley and Fern seated there on a moonlight night dreaming once more the dreams that had been so rudely shattered by the reopening of the feud at Christmas. VVILLIAM DE VVALL, '33. The Inst Qrt nf walking He who walks is called a pedestrian, and pedestrian is almost a contemptuous term at the present time. He who walks is con- sidered either a fresh-air fiend , a poor nobody, or an idiot. VValking is becoming such an out-moded form of locomotion, in fact, that scientists claim that within a certain time limit the human gens will be moving about on hoofs at the rare moments when they shall not be conveyed in some vehicle. At least let us be thankful that we shall not grace this world then. For we would sadly miss our Hiking Club, should we not? The benefits derived from hiking are legion, and when we become a race of sedentary peoples, in my mindwe shall have seriously degenerated, physical- ly, and perhaps even mentally as well. Many amusing pedestrian jokes are heard here and there at the present time. In one of these a young man who is driving a young friend of the opposite sex in his fast new car is supposed to have remarked to her: XVe just hit seventy l The kind-hearted damsel is said to have cried: Chl shouldn't we go back and pick him up? In still another, a young man remarked to a friend that he in- tended hiking a distance of ten miles. Horrihed, his friend asked, But suppose you do not get a ride? In the future, when there shall be no more pedestrian jokes, I imagine one will go to a museum to gaze upon a waxen image labeledf A Pedestrian. Habitat, entire world during all ages until 99 l Qfrgsrtal l A T315- ' year 2000 A. D. Now extinct. I do not doubt that a heavy guard will be necessary to keep the crowds back from the glass cage in- closing this strange curio, which would undoubtedly be in the form of a waxen man, with feet like we have in 1932, wildly dodg- ing in and out among the confused traffic of a street. Ahoy, you people in 2000 A. D.! You may be happy then, but give me good old 1932 and the Hiking Club! EMMA ROGERS, '32, Qu Zlmateur Rehearsal Sorely negelected and unfortunate is the person who has never witnessed an amateur rehearsal. There is nothing very interesting about a well managed professional rehearsal. Everything goes along too smoothly to be entertaining. In order to have a real amateur rehearsal, everyone must be late. Vylhy, it woulcln't be natural for the members of the cast to arrive at the appointed time. The poor, half-frantic directress is obliged to telephone the private homes of eachperson and invari- ably she is informed that the desired party has just departed. After what seems to be years-but in reality only momentsm have passed, the culprits come dashing in with an innocent ques- tion such as, Am I late F Of course, if it is a dress rehearsal the make-up must be ap- plied. This provides much amusement for the younger members of the cast who delight in smearing each others' faces with the strange powders and creams. Finally all is in readiness-at least it appears so. But alas! Someone has accidentally rubbed his eye and that terrible itching stuff is irritating that member of the five senses which is so vitally important. As the rehearsal progresses, countless accidents occur. The scenery never fails to collapse at the most inopportune times. Or perhaps some wanderer behind scenes steps on the switch which causes the telephone bell to ring for a continuous five minutes. Rut why worry about such trivial incidents? XVithout them what amusement, what recreation could be procured? Sh! I've heard it whispered around that a poor, erroneous dress rehearsal produces a good final performance. MARY MILLER, '32, I OO l Cffrgsrtul. l Tgjlj-gr? S Q Erime It was dreadfully cold. Gusts of wind blew the sleet and snow along the streets. Lights made dim by the heavy storm, shone like faint warnings through the cold darkness. A few people, their coat collars turned up around their heads, were picking their way care- fully along the icy pavement. Black outlines of tall buildings stood out through the dim lights of the street lamps. lt was after midnight, lights were low, a policeman was pacing his beat, up and down the street. Nearby a bridge stretched its shadow, like a great long arm, across the black cold river to the outline of a bleak surf-worn shore. A figure Wrapped in a shabby fur coat which was once one of the most expensive, and holding a tiny bundle, felt her way stealth- ily along the bridge. Finally she reached the place where she must decide. The sleet and the wind stung and lashed her face furiously. She clasped the tiny thing closer. Oh! but she hated to do it. It screamed and howled all day and night. It needed too much care and attention! She was determined to part with it! In the icy waters it would scream and howl no more. She drew the tiny bundle from her coat and with one last look and a nervous, muffled laugh she hurled her burden and listened for a splash below, while she hid her face in her hands. Then she suddenly realized she was in danger! She must make an escape, for as she looked around she saw a policeman diving into the Water. She turned, bewildered, and disappeared mysteriously into the darkness. Completely exhausted and numb from the dark icy water the policeman dragged the bundle to shore, Turning his face upward and clasping his hands he gave a short prayer of thanks. Then care- fully, tenderly, he opened the bundle and found-a radio. MARION VVOOD, '32, 101 l Gfrgztul-J To 157 Being Biffersnt It would never do for all of us in this world to be exactly alike, and since we all cannot be Greta Garbos, let's be our own selves, the way we were meant to be, because after all, no two of us are alike and if we act ourselves, the result will be an infinite variety, and Variety is the Spice of Life . XVho wants to copy after someone else? Anyone can do that, but not everyone can be different in a clearly original way. People who say things they have heard others say, are worse than parrots -parrots do not know any better, but the people ought to-and anyway, who wants to listen to repetition of the same expressions over and over again? The secret of being entertaining lies in being original. New slang expressions and bright sayings are always welcomed by the modern youth, however, they may not be so well received by doting parents, who are properly shocked at the language of this modern generation. Being different is extremely desirable as long as it is prac- tised to a reasonable extent, but it is when some fanatic carries it out to a fantastical degree, that it pays better to indulge in imitat- ing our betters. ELIZABETH ROBERTSON, '32, Qhhire tu the Jfresbmzn Brethren! VVe are gathered here today to discuss the trials and tribulations of the four happiest years of your life. Of course there are certain pointers of which you must be reminded and rules to follow. For the first two years you want to make a favorable reputation for yourself. Study hard while you're a Frosh and a Sap and the next two years the teachers will take you or rather, your marks for granted? Rule No. 2. Try to take part in everything possible that hap- pens in the line of sports, drama, and music. Your father pays taxes fuse them to advantage. Rule No. 3. Always have an extra piece of paper ready for one of your friends. That is a sure way to become one of the most pop- ular students 1n school. And last, but not least, get that ole Port Jeff Spirit coursing thru your veins and you will really enjoy your four years in school. OLIVE DARLING, '32. ' 102 THE SENIORS AT MOUNT VERNON I03 l Urgziul l '1TQ EiF Easbingtnn Grip Our journey to the nation's Capitol this year was the gayest of successes. Our youthful spirits were not even dampened by the unfortunately severe rainstorm which had arrived during the night to bid the Class of '32 farewell on March 28. Not at all! In fact at the very beginning of the trip the gaiety began which was to con- tinue for five carefree days. As soon as the miraculously short train ride was over, we hur- ried to relieve ourselves of the encumbrance of baggage at our Hotel Driscoll rooms, which we found in readiness for us. This accomplished, we immediately boarded a tram for the XVhite House to see what there was to the kiddies' egg-rolling contest. Then some of us were fortunate to go up into the Monument before it closed Cand before the terrihc wind blew it downj. After dinner a guide conducted us through the Congressional Library, the won- ders of which enthralled us. On Tuesday morning the more daring of us walked up into the Capitol dome, after having been guided through the building and conducted on a tour of the stately city. Tuesday afternoon found us invading Mt. Vernon in two bus-loadsf-there were more of us than one bus would hold. Un the way we stopped at the old Lee Mansion. A boat trip home was a charming finish for the day. QXVe even ate hot dogsuj. NVednesday, in the morning, our party sighed for wealth in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, admired the XVhite House from the interior, and visited one or two other imposing points of interest. The more hardy made a trip on foot to the Smithsonian Institute, but blisters proved us foolish. In the afternoon, most of us attended sessions of the Senate or the House for a while, and spent the rest of the time swimming, airplane sightseeing, auto- mobile riding, or doing whatever we chose. Thursday morning, in a hard rain, the crowd descended en masse upon the Martha XVashington Candy Shoppe and found good old Mr. Sheets waiting to greet us and give us a party. An- napolis was our goal for that afternoon, where we visited the Academy, the Chapel, and the Capitol of Maryland. Friday we turned our faces homeward from the happy times which had now become only memories. Our stop at Philadelphia gave us one more pleasant memory to add to the store. From then until we reached home we realized how grateful we were to Miss Keevil and Mr. Vandermeulen, who were the ideal chaperonsg and 'we had time to think how much we appreciated the fine co-opera- tion of the Junior Class in giving us such an appropriate farewell gift and in sending us so much cheer in the form of correspondence.
