The acquisition of this goal means the end of our happy school days, but the be- ginning of life in the vast unknown of the Work- a-day World. The Crystal attempts to record by means of photographs and word pictures the outstanding events of the school year 1937-38. In future years this book will give much enjoyment and will bring back to your memory days at Port Jefferson High School. We, the Crystal staff, extend our sincere wishes for your enjoyment and pleasure in reading this issue of the year-book. 4 19 EE Gfhe Cgyffal EE PRINCIPAL EARL L.

On Thursday, October 7, 1937, our students were entertained by the Petrie Novelty Quintet. This group is com- posed of all brass instrumentalists, but their repertoire con- tains selections of all types. Their program was one of lasting value and enjoyment. We were next entertained by the Sterlings, two magicians of mystic skill. These talented artists performed incredible feats with remarkable ease. Two weeks later, Captain Denis Rooke, a British aviator, described some of his journeys in the air. Mr. Rooke's genial manner added much to the eiectiveness of the presentation. Di Crosti and Ferrari were the next entertainers of this series. On January 4, 1938, these capable musicians rendered a program with unusual talent, and Mr. Di Crosti played several different instruments with astounding efliciency. On Wednes- day evening, January 12, 1938, the Pollard players presented a play in our auditorium. The professional skill of these actors, combined with the popularity of the play, Broken Dishes, left lasting impressions of an enjoyable evening. Stanley Osborne, and Mrs. Osborne, two adventurers de- voted to the Vagabond trails, entertained us on Friday, Feb- ruary 25, and their interesting topic reflected enthusiasm and interest. We were transported spiritually to Australia, the land of exotic wonders, and the realism of our journey was accented by beautiful colored slides and motion pictures. On March 9, 1938, we were fortunate to hear the Ambas- sador Male Quartet. This group is talented in all forms of vocal music, and their instrumental ability was displayed in the rendition of The Bells of St. Mary's on Swiss hand-bells, a selection appropriate to the resonance of the bells. Our last program was a lecture by Bob Hewitt, a cowboy whose artistic nature greatly enhanced his description of the West. Here too, beautiful pictures depicted the grandeur of the unspoiled areas, and motion pictures gave vivid reproduc- tions of untouched trails. In addition, groups of the civic minded, and dramatically or musically gifted, entertained on Thursday mornings. Fre- quently recordings of student productions were made on the speech recording machine, the first instrument of its kind in use in the schools of Suffolk County. Plans are being made for more extensive use of our motion picture machine for future assembly programs. 51 EE e PJJLGLEIE53 Rrtrnnprrt April The day arrives for tliwiiors to go to Washington.

In the evening the Thanksgiving dance is held in our auditorium. When a dog bites a man, that's not news, but when a man bites a dog, that IS news. Likewise, when students present a play, that's not news, but when the faculty presents a play, that is news. 56 19 EE E gym-ll SIE 53 That's exactly what happened. The Smithtown High School Faculty presents Icebound in our auditorium. It is well given and brings a total return of S37 for our school. We thank Smithtown for its willingness to cooperate.

The Junior Food Sale is equally as successful as the Seniors', bringing in a total profit of 3533. Charles Barraud and Howard Wilson try in vain to save two boys from the icy waters of the Setauket mill pond by forming a human rescue chain.

Port Jeff gains its third consecutive win of the season by downing the East Islip quintet 16-13. Our opponents pos- sess a record of 34 consecutive victories, but fall by a three point margin against the Purple and White aggre- gation. The second team also comes through with its third win.

February The Port Jeff lads just can't seem to be taken from the unbeaten ranks. Central Islip loses to us with the score 33-14. The Babylon team, although not ranked very high, proves to be our toughest opponent so far this season. Benjamin's lads win a hard-fought battle by 20-18. Miss Eby's girls lose their first game by a one point margin. Islip defeats them 21-20. The Islip boys, however, prove to be not quite so strong. Their defeat of 23-18 makes our 13th straight victory and our 4th league victory. Again it is well to remark that the second team is still undefeated also. Procon holds a debate with Northport.

Our afiirmative team of debaters journey to Northport to debate on the topic, Resolved: That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislature. We are defeated by a very narrow margin. The King's Ambassador Quartet brings to us a most en- tertaining assembly program. Their vocal selections are chosen with discrimination, the numbers including opera, dialect numbers, a spiritual, and two humorous selections. The novel feature of the program is the Swiss bells, which the entire company play simultaneously. The Bells of Saint Mary's is especially adapted to the instruments. Our negative debating team defeats Bay Shore's affirmative team by a unanimous decision. The topic of the debate is the unicameral system. Earle Snow, Carol Wheeler, and June Darling deliver the constructive speeches for Port, while Margot Benthien handles the rebuttal. Port's girls' basketball team battles to a 12-12 tie with Bayport on the latter's court. Jantella is high scorer of the game with a total of eight points. This varsity game completes the basketball season for Miss Eby and her girls. The Purple and White quintet drops its last and only game 59 SIE e PJJLGLEIE53 of the current campaign to the Red Raiders of Patchogue by the small score of 14-11. As luck would have it, Patch- ogue has the lead, which see-sawed between the two teams, when the final gun goes off. The second team's winning streak also ends with a defeat by Patchogue of 18-15. As a result of this game, which was attended by hundreds of Patchogue people as well as Port Jeff people, fThe doors were open at six and the gym was soon full right up to the lines of the basketball courtj Port Jefferson and Patch- ogue tie for the championship of Section One.

The ofiicers of the Student Organization auto- matically become members of the Council. In addition, each homeroom, except the two study halls, elects one student to represent it. These two rooms, because of their registration, have two representatives each. The Student Council serves as a means of strengthening the bond between students and teachers. Each is confronted with the problems of the other, thus gaining a deeper under- standing of school affairs. The most important duty of the Council, as stated by the new constitution, is to decide the eligibility of students to receive letters which are awarded for outstanding achievement in sports, music, and club activities. This legislative branch of the school makes rules govern- ing the student body. Any breach of these statutes brings one before the judiciary, a tribunal appointed by the Council. At the monthly meetings of this group, the President of the Student Organization presides, while the Secretary keeps a record which is later published in the Purple Parrot. Before the election of Student Organization officers, the Treasurer presides. The Student Council provides for all elections of the classes and the Student Organization. In June 1937, a delegation of students from the Westhamp- ton Beach High School, headed by their principal, visited Port Jefferson High School to study our student government system. The visitors were so deeply impressed that further correspon- dence with this committee revealed that they are patterning their organization after ours. We wish Westhampton success in their venture. 68 COUNCHJ THESTUDENT 19 BFE e Er fiat SIE 53 ivtuhent Lbrganigatinn President, John Hawkins Vice President, Margot Benthien Secretary, Virginia Barraud Treasurer, Joseph Arnaboldi Assistant Treasurer, Osborne Archer The Student Organization is the basic organization of our high school. Members of this miniature democracy are as- sured of having their suggestions taken before the Student Council by the representatives whom they have chosen through popular election. Membership in this governmental body not only assures one of admission to the varied school functions and athletic contests, but it has in store for the senior a memorable trip to the nation's capital. Those who claim membership within the ranks of the largest organized student group at Port Jef- ferson High School are eligible for awards for participation in the numerous clubs, or playing on the school teams. During the school year John Hawkins has ably directed the Student Organization as its chief executive. Through his assembly announcements our president has shown his interest in every phase of the many activities Port Jefferson High School offers its students. His democratic nature and genial personality have been valuable assets in conducting the affairs of his office.

It is truly a tribute that the paper, popularly referred to as the old bird, stays so young in ideas and material and can hold the interest of the student body every week. ' The staff, cooperating with the advisers, introduced several new features and set in motion the idea of naming the athletic teams, a project which has not yet become final. The front- pagel' news, well-written athletic articles, the newly-introduced hobby column, and the usual editorials and jokes make the paper complete. The Student Mailbox became a very real work- ing 'element as it contributed valuable poems, criticisms, and suggestions. The most important innovation from the staPf's point of view was the decision of the Student Councll to give the staff letters in recognition of their long and faithful service. At the beginning of the second semester the retiring staff relinquished its position with the knowledge that others would carry on. 71 19 EE e gyffal EE 53 Olherrlvahing 1 Adviser Miss Austin There they are, the peppiest squad of cheerleaders that Port Jefferson High School has ever had. Their new uniforms of purple skirts, hats to match, and white sweaters add glamour to the part they play in our activities. Under the able instruction of Miss Austin the members have been taught new tactics in leading the student body through our various cheers. Miss Austin has devoted two periods a week to coaching our cheerleaders. During these periods they have been improving their movements, and they have learned to keep their rhythm uniform. They have also added stunts to the program. This year, more than ever before, there has been such an interest in leading cheers that it was impossible to judge who was the best individual performer. Boys have joined with the girls and have found the activity interesting. Miss Austin has encouraged the boys, and anticipates more next year. The cheerleaders have cooperated with their instructor and have been rewarded for their efforts by the response given them by the student body. 72 19 EE e Ggyftdl SIE 53 Ezmrr Ctrrhmtra PERSONNEL Clarinets Saxophones Trumpets Joseph Arnaboldi Carol Wheeler Allen Arnaboldi Ruth Gould Florence Glock Earle Snow Tuba.

They interpret the pages of modern popular songs with melodic delight and are always ready to render music that appeals to the student body. To Miss Hosley and the swingsters the happy throng on Thursdays owe their appreciation for the many hours of pleasure which the dance orchestra has brought them. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the invitation of the Smithtown High School to play at their Senior dance.

It is Armistice Day, and our band again does its part in remembrance of American patriots. In the auditorium of our school, the band can again be viewed and heard during basketball games. This splendid group adds to the enthusiasm of the players and audience, for who is not thrilled to hear the band play El Capitan or Washington Post during foot- ball games? The fine repertoire of the band is not limited to marches alone, for among the classical accomplishments of that group We find the great Huldigungsmarch and Grieg's Atlantis Suite. The change from marches to classics is not disconcerting to the band members, for Miss Hosley has not only taught them the technical proficiencies of playing, but the appreciation for classical music. This is indeed an accomplishment of which We can be proud, for our band greatly aids the maintenance of characteristic Port Jefferson High School spirit and ideals. 76 THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND 19 EE e Cr ftal EE 58 Uhr Evrirnrr Olluh President Evert Dahlstrom Vice President DeWitt Rulon Secretary-Treasurer Margot Benthien The mystery is solved! We have discovered at last the pur- pose of strange instruments which had added a baffling appear- ance to our laboratory. These instruments are the Works of our industrious Science Club. In one corner of the science department we find a group of students who are penetrating the mysteries of ether vvavesg and they carefully assemble condensers, tubes, transformers, and other parts to form sets. The members give thoughtful at- tention to all results. The masterpiece of these brilliant minds lies in another group. The Workers bend diligently over a glass lens and grind its surface with greatest care. This lens will constitute the most delicate part of a telescope, and the project will need much time because of the required precision. Other young explorers exhibit a confusing array of test tubes used in the chemical analysis of foods. This project, and all other projects in science and astronomy, are under the supervision of Mr. Kiessling, who instructs the members and encourages the maintenance of the inquiring spirit which has been the fundamental factor in the success of the organization. 78 19 SIE e Qgyffal SIE 53 ,f Hiking Glluh President, Virginia Barraud Vice-President, Anita Holm Secretary, Frances Hallock Faculty Adviser, Miss Eby The purpose of the organization is to aiord opportunities for social recreation, for close acquaintance with our natural surroundings, and for the development of proper habits of conduct for outing trips. A decided tendency toward bicycling has been shown this year. This tendency became a reality in our famous October excursion to Scott's Beach. The plans for the year include several other similar outings of this type. The club emblem is the purple felt figure of a girl carrying a walking cane. It is awarded to those members who participate in every organized hike during the year, make a regular month- ly report of their activity, and whose annual hiking mileage reaches a minimum of five hundred miles. The members who were awarded emblems at the last Student Council Meeting were: Anne Cotroneo, Hazel Diebel, Evelyn Di Pietro, Florence Glock, Helen Gover, June Haggerty, Catherine Kempster, Lois Norton, and Katherine Ruck. A train requires a continent, A car ft lzast a county, Who goes a-foot will be content With one sweet meadow's bounty.

The fundamentals of clever acrobatics were put into practice, and much extra time was spent by the members in order that they might be primed for the annual Gym Nite program. The audience at this yearly event was amazed at these boys, who were as agile as mountain goats. The club is composed of approximately forty boys selected from all the gym classes. Many of the rookies have displayed promising ability, a fact which insures a continued success when the organization loses its veterans. Charles Henningsen has been the spark plug of the club this year. He has proved to be an invaluable asset in assisting Mr. Benjamin in teaching the younger members the art of gymnastics. By his capable leadership Charles has brightened the future of the organization. 80 19 EE e GQITGL EE 53 Alpha Svigma President Eunice Terrell Vice-President and Secretary Margot Benthien Treasurer Elsie Jicinsky The smiling group that you see here represented is the Alpha Sigma, or Art Club of Port Jefferson High School. The membership of this Worth-While and constructive organization has greatly increased since the previous year. We believe that more students should have the opportunity to display their talents, and in keeping with this principle we have discarded our former restriction of membership for a limited number. The Art Club was completely reorganized in September, and a new constitution was adopted. Because the organization as a whole is not engaging in any one particular project this year, each member can choose the Work which appeals to him. The activities of the Alpha Sigma have been directed prin- cipally toward handicraft of various kinds. The members are greatly interested in their work and con- sider themselves very fortunate to be able to use their imagina- tion and originality as they see fit. The Art Club is proud of its accomplishments this year and wishes to extend hearty thanks to Mrs. Alice Ludwick for her cooperation and helpful advice which she cheerfully gave to all. 81 19EIE e rftaLS1E58 Slliiii CRW Svtagrrraft President Elwood Davis Secretary Edward Luerssen Faculty Adviser Mrs. Ludvvick That very able organization of Port Jefferson High School, Stagecraft, is composed of six boys who are interested in art and Willing to Work. The responsibility of making and arranging thelscenery for the annual operetta and for the school plays is given to these students. The settings must be carefully made, so it is necessary for the boys to spend many long hours after school, as Well as in school, Working on the scenery. The members of Stagecraft have done several other tasks that are Well Worth mentioning. This past fall they painted the lines for the shuffleboard floor, as Well as the basketball and badminton courts. The decorations for the Football Dance in November were also made by members of this society. The designs were very novel, representing the players of Smithtovvn and Port Jefferson in their respective school colors. This group has given much to the school and has received much in return in the Way of experience and training. Mrs. Ludwick and Mr. Bruce are to be especially thanked for their able supervision. 82 19 EE e Cr fiat EE 53 lgrnrnn President DeWitt Rulon Vice President Margot Benthien Secretary Verne Marshall Treasurer Earle Snow The Debating Club of Port Jefferson High School is known by the name of Procon. This society is of a more dignified nature than other clubs of the school. The meetings of the Procon are held twice each month, the time being taken up with informal debates and discussions. Through these, the members gain experience and training for their more important proceedings. During the current season the affirmative group Won decisions from the Northport and Bay Shore teams on the national topic: Resolved-that the several states should adopt a system of unicameral legislature. The negative team of Port Jefferson lost a decision to North- port's afiirmative debaters. The Armistice Day program featured an impressive pageant in the interests of World peace. Although this dramatization was of a serious nature, our members have made student audi- ences chuckle when humorous debates were given. The Procon, under the patient and painstaking guidance of Miss Keevil, is and will remain one of the foremost organ- izations of Port Jefferson High School. 83 19 SIE e Gr ftal HE 58 lghntngraphg Qlluh President Clifford Rowley Vice-President Walter Terrell Secretary Warren Quibell Faculty Adviser Mr. Hendrickson The Photography Club is one of the most popular of the extra-curricular activities of our school. Since February 1935, when the club was organized under the direction of Mr. Geer- lings, this organization has steadily flourished. This year, under its willing president, Clifford Rowley, and under the able supervision of the sponsor, Mr. Hendrickson, the club is making great progress. If you should happen to glance at the bulletin board in room 116, you would notice an exhibit of pictures which the members have takeng they are now learning to irnprove their technique in this field. Accord- ing to Mr. Hendrickson, we shall have members of the Pho- tography Club operating the school's new motion picture ma- chine very soon. In the near future they plan to make a study of taking indoor pictures. We have also a Junior Photography Club, composed of students of the junior high school. This group, with Thomas Lynch as president, is learning to print and develop pictures. Who knows but some of these amateurs may become famous in the world of photography 'Z 84 19 ENE e eg ftal. EE 53 Bugs' C5122 Qlluh President, Thomas Wells Vice President, Joseph Arnaboldi Secretary and Librarian, Frank Brown Director, Mr. Smith ' Accompanist, Thomas Wells - Twenty-one boys responded to the call to join the glee club last September. Others, whose schedules had not permitted them before, joined at the beginning of the second semester. The work of this musical group has been carried on dur-ng the fifth period, Friday afternoons in the auditorium. Most of their vocal technique during the past year has been of four parts. The boys have music which includes many old favorites: such as, The Bull Dog, There's Music in the Air, In the Gloamingf' Water Boy, and many others. In addition, sev- eral recent musical successes have been mastered. The members worked very diligently on the operetta chorus as all male principals in the operetta were members of our organization. Every one looked forward to the assembly program which the club put on, and high expectations were fully justified. Mr. Smith and his boys worked very hard on their numbers for the Music Festival and were well rewarded by the whole-hearted praise which the final performance merited. 'We hope that in years to come glee clubs will maintain the same high standard which Mr. Smith's group has exemplified this year. 85 19 EE e Cr fiat SIE 53 Svninr Girls' C6122 Qlluh President, Elaine Furman Vice President, Beth Loper Secretary, Virginia Fallon Director, Mr. Toal Librarians, Mildred Bishop, Hazel Diebel Accompanists, Elinor Caddell, Frances Hallock, Carol Wheeler Do you know why a few of the sixth period classes have their homework hastily done on Friday? Teachers, here's the answer: the girls' singing which issues from the Little Theatre. They have heard The Bells of St. Mary's, Neapolitan Nights, and Come to the Fair. At Christmas time, carols including The First Noel, Silent Night, We Three Kings, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing were rehearsed for the annual assembly program. During the month of February the glee club gave an as- sembly program which was received with approval. Our organ- ization sang several well known numbers for the annual Fes- tival of Music. We have not only learned the words and the music to the various songs, but Mr. Toal has taught us how to sing them more correctly. For example, instead of singing ing as we used to, We now sing eeng. Furthermore, the second sopranos have learned that it is better to sing out and have volume than it is to sing solos. 86 19 EE e Cr ftal SIE 58 Zllrvnrh Glluh President, Helen Chaplin Vice President, Joseph Arnaboldi Secretary, Earle Snow Adviser, Miss Dorcas Darling In September the French Club began organizing for the ensuing year, with the determination that the meetings, to be held monthly, would be well-planned and interesting. Indeed they Wereg for every member of the Le Cercle Francais had a genuine interest in its activities. Of course, the first meeting following reorganization was for the benefit of new members, who were initiated. Anyone having had a half year or more of French is eligible to mem- bership. This year each class planned the monthly program. Some of the most interesting skits Were: At the Doctor's, Bergen and McCarthy in a Christmas skitg and, of course, A Christmas Tableau for Le Cercle Noel, In a School- room, A Mock Wedding, and others. The script for each skit was written by the class that presented it. As a conclusion to an especially active season the motion picture Maria Chapdelaine was presented at the local thea- tre. The production was entirely in French and the French classes attended in a group. This was the first venture of this kind by any high school in Suffolk County, and ten schools sent delegations. 87 19 SIE Glihe cgyfflldl EE 53 lbratnriml Qlnniwt In the face of keen competition from representatives of nine high schools, Winard Redding of the Senior class was awarded the county trophy, a gold medal, and was selected to represent Suffolk County in the district finals which include all of Long Island and Staten Island. The state-wide oratorical contest, sponsored by the American Legion and including over two hundred secondary schools, was instigated by the State Legion Americanism Committee, of which Mr. Earl L. Vander- meulen is chairman. In our local school nine contestants spoke before a repre- sentative audience in the school auditorium, in order that Port Jefferson's outstanding representative might be selected. Each speaker gave a creditable oration, and from the participants, Winard Redding was awarded first honor, while the second award was presented to Max Connors. The evening of April fourth will long be remembered as over 800 persons attended the county oratorical finals which were held in Port Jefferson. In addition to the outstanding speeches of the contestants, the Huntington Bugle and Drum Corps, the Legion Auxiliary Glee Club, and the school musical groups contributed to the enjoyment of the occasion. 88 19 SIE E gyftal SIE 58 linint Svgztem tn Er Hash in Eetrrminatiun nf the iililnnt Haluahlr Srtuhvnt Four Subjects-Average Four Subjects-Average Four Subjects-Average Four Subjects-Average Four Subjects-Average Scholastic Points per Year 95-100 9 90-94 8 85-89 7 80-84 5 75-79 4 For five subjects add one point to each of the above classifications.

The cosmopolitan audience, from Port Jefferson and the area served by the high school, readily sensed the humorous potentialities of the three act comedy, and their generous applause no doubt iniiuenced the players in their superb enactment of the script. The cast, which was selected and directed by Miss Mary Rita Geren following a series of try-outs for the fourteen speaking parts, refiected the wise choice of the directress. To generalize, the players spoke with a decided clarity of ex- pression and gave all evidence of having captured the mood of the play, a significant contrast to the stylized type of char- acter enactment so frequently an element in amateur dramatics. Among the future leading men and ladies of the school, if their Work in A Full House is a criterion, are: Margot Ben- thien, Mary Hawkins, Leonard Quibell, Jack Cassidy, Frank Brown, Jean Vandermeulen, Valentine Muller, Virginia Bar- raud, and Helen Chaplin. In spite of their limited experience, these students quite captivated the audience with a superb performance. As an English butler John Hawkins, veteran of several starring roles, was outstanding-even to the accent. Edward Zimmerman, the Butch of the play of last year, gave the best performance of his school career in the role of an obliging burglar. Carol Wheeler and Elaine Furman, familiar to many pa- trons as former play and operetta principals, revealed a tech- nique and finesse that greatly enhanced the comedy. George Sawyer gave an especially fine character portrayal. Cbgm Nitr This year, Gym Nite climaxed a series of annual reviews of the work of the athletic departments. Without question it was the best display of marching tactics, gymnastics, dancing, mat work, and tumbling that Port Jeff High has given. A factor which added to the success of the exhibit was novel and color- ful costuming. Over 300 students participated. 92 H U2 D O I A A D if-4 fi H. he919!'

Mrs. Wigglesworth QJean Vandermeulenj was the proprie- tress of Cherry Creek Hotel. Among her guests at the resort were: Andy Hunter CWinard Reddingj, a young man who was always in need of money, Madame Van Sneeze CMargot Ben- thienj, his fiancee who often helped her Humpty out of financial difficulties, and, Armour Veilbrock CJohn Hawkinsj, whose entire days were spent memorizing his play script, which consisted of one word. The arrival of Count Stefano CMax Connorsl, and his friend Adam Addamrns fEd Zimmermanb, attracted several other guests to the hotel. The Count and Andy Hunter changed places in order to escape the title- hunting mother, Nina Truesdale fMartha Hylandjg her hus- band, a golf enthusiast, Harlow Truesdale CDewitt Rulonb, and their daughter who is embarrassed by her mother's con- stant efforts for her marriage to the Count, Phyllis Truesdale, CVirginia Fallonj. This caused much confusion for Sylvia Stew- art fMarjorie Baldwlnl, a newspaper reporter who wished an interview with the Count, and Joe McMoriarty fLeonard Quibellj, a sheriff who had a Warrant for Andy Hunter. Affairs turned out for the best when Phyllis Truesdale dis- covered her lover was Count Stefano, Madame Van Sneeze saved Andy Hunter from the embarrassment of jailg Sylvia Stewart found herself in love with Adam Addammsg Bennie Brown fEarle Snowj, an ambitious bellboy, and Judy Jenks fMildred BishopJ, a maid in the Cherry Creek Hotel, realized their love for each other, and, the title-seeking mother, and her husband, the golfer, became happy over the conclusion. The play was cleverly interpreted and most admirably pro- duced by the high school cast. Annual Gbpvrrtfa Marrying Marian will be remembered as another suc- cessful musical production of Port Jefferson High School. From the first chorus until the finale the musical comedy was enjoy- able for its unusual plot and humorous character portrayals. Excellent stage and lighting effects were provided by the Stage craft group. Between acts eight girls demonstrated the various types of American dances from the days of the minuet until the modern swing era. The musical numbers were directed by Miss Norma Hosleyg the dances by Miss Eby'g and the scenery was painted and erected under the direction of Mrs. Ludwick and Mr. Bruce. 94 f.

During 1936-37 the purple quintet gained its first sectional title. This autumn Section Four was incorporated in Section One, thereby making competition for the coveted pennant more difficult than before. However, Coach Benjamin's lads began where they left off in 1937 and won seventeen out of 18 hard fought court triumphs, losing only to Patchogue by a three point margin in the final game of the season. Riverhead, which lost a tie for Section One honors with Southampton by two points, bowed to the Purple Wave by a score of 28-13 in the initial court engagement of the year. On this occasion the County-seat athletes played ther first game in their new gymnasium before a large audience. December 21st found East Islip, Class B champions of Suf- folk County for eight consecutive seasons, at the Port Jefferson court. The visitors were seeking their thirty-sixth consecutive triumph. Coming from behind, after trailing 8-2 in the first quarter, the home team forged ahead to lead at the half time. Close defensive play marked the last half of the contest, and the final whistle found Port Jefferson the victor, 16-13. Bay Shore proved excellent hosts, but stubborn opponents on the court. The North Shore visitors, however, were successful as Captain Jacunski scored 14 points to lead his equally capable players to victory. ' The Patchogue game at home, played before 1,200 spec- tators, was the only loss for the varsity. With but five minutes left to play in the last quarter, the Benjamin coached group led by four polnts. During the closing minutes of the epic struggle. the Red Raiders looped in three rebounds for scores. Port Jeff missed four foul shots to leave their visitors co-champions of Section One. League regulations do not permit a play-off. 98 e-4 Q fd Cd E-4 4 Q ffi cm E4 Li M U2 ft an En V+ O CQ 19 EE e Gr itat EE 53 Qlrnaa Glnunirg Port Jeierson will remem- ber the superb Cross Country record of Darwin Bruce, Nas- sau-Suffolk champion, winner of the LaSalle invitation meet, and victor and record holder of the Babylon invitation meet. At Bellport, the Purple and White got off to a flying start when five Port runners crossed the line before their first com- petitor. It happened to be the first of four perfect score vic- tories won during the season. Huntington Central and Cen- tral Islip were the 2nd and 3rd teams to be counted among the victims of Port JefTerson's ag- gregation. Seven Purple and White harriers led the runners across the finish line. The re- sult-a 15-40 perfect score Win. A triangular meet, held at Sayville, was slightly disastrous to Coach Benjamin's harriers. Sayville's well grouped runners eked out 20 points against our total of 35. La Salle M. A. was third with 65 points. Darwin Bruce gained first position, de- feating Lang by fully 50 yards. The fourth perfect score came against Southampton and Babylon, who gained 49 and 56 points, respectively. Bruce won first place, being closely followed by several teammates to gain the perfect total of 15. Sayville's close grouping of runners seemed to be all they needed to take the County Meet on November 6th 'with 21 points. Port was second with 35. Port Jefferson was again second with 38 markers, as Say- ville triumphed with 20 at the La Salle Invitation Meet. Darwin Bruce won first place and the Nassau-Suffolk championship over a large field of runners. At the Babylon Invitation Meet, Darwin Bruce confirmed his Nassau-Suffolk championship, breaking all former course records, to set a new low of 9' 50 . 100 COUNTRY'TEAM CROSS 19 Eli e E15 Eilnnthall Early in September football practice was again resumed at Port Jefferson under the capable direction of Coach Kiessling. Eight veterans returned to the line-up, and Mr. Kiessling undertook the task of moulding inexperienced players into varsity material for the remaining open positfons. Patchogue's heavy team came to Port Jefferson for the first encounter of the season. The final outcome, 6-0, proved more than a touchdown victory for the Purple and White. Our boys gained nine first downs to the single down of Patchogue. Lucas tallied the lone touchdown on a short pass, after the ball was put in scoring position by many ground gaining plays with Trubisz, Arnaboldi, and Carrabus doing fine ball carrying. Babylon fell before Port Jef'ferson's second half onslaught, 25-7. Again the Purple gained nine first downs, with Trubisz bucking the line for the first tally, a short pass to Jacunski brought a second, and Lucas hit the line for two touchdowns. Babylon's score came via an intercepted pass. On a rainy and muddy field at Greenport, the gridders fought to a 14-6 defeat, despite the fact that nine first downs were gained to the seven of Greenport. A strong wind enabled the East-enders to block a Port kick for a safety, and to tally two touchdowns as a result of' short Port kicks which gave Greenport the ball deep in Purple and White territory. The first of three ties came against Sayville in the third home game. The final count of 0-0 fully shows the balance of power between the two teams. Sayville withstood four Purple scoring threats, While the home team stood off as many Sayville thrusts. , Rain and a muddy field were a hindrance to both elevens at Bridgehampton. Bridgehampton's tally of the third period was duplicated by Lucas in the closing minute of the game to tie the score 6-6. Despite the mud and a wet ball, fine field running was evidenced, with Jacunski and Stein catching many difficult passes. Although Smithtown was picked by the press to win the annual Thanksgiv.ng Day classic, a 0-0 tie resulted. The Crim- son dominated the field, gaining six first downs to our three, and gaining much yardage by ground plays and passes. The Purple and White fought determinedly and held Smithtown for four downs on our 2 yard marker. The team deserves much credit for their splendid work and concerted efforts. Throughout the entire season the spirit of the team was outstanding. Whether winning or losing, every man gave his best efforts, playing the game in a sportsmanlike manner. 102 FOOTBALL TEAM 19 EE E gyftal EE 53 Urark 1537 Starting with early practice before the Washington trip, Codch Benjamin began to select a new track team. Bob Keyes, Newman, Stein and Poerschke were the only point-winners on the roster from last year. Many of the new candidates lacked the great advantage of experience, but their speed and determination soon put them in the upper ranks. The date of our first meet found the boys trouncing Green- port 58-46. The Purple and White gained six first places and the relay to the four first positions of our hosts. Port managed to place two men in every event. Bob Keyes won the high jump and 440, setting a new track record in the latter. Milton Sills won the 100, 220, and broad jump, posting a new mark in the 100. An evenly balanced Amityville team furnished the closest meet of the season. The scores were always close, but our superiority in the 880 relay gave us a 55-49 winning margin. Amityville won six first places to our five. Bob Keyes again triumphed in the 440 and high jump, while M. Sills captured the 100 and 220. Charlie Barraud also won the discus throw. Bellport came to Port Jefferson to hand the Purple and White junior team an easy victory. The Purple swept each event to build up a large one-sided score. Although Riverhead won seven firsts and the medley relay, the totals were unaffected, for the Purple placed two men in almost every event to upset the County-seaters 61-48. The local boys captured all three positions in the half mile and high jump. Sayville's stiff competition set the boys back 64-40. Eight firsts, the relay, and a complete sweep in three events for the visitors, gave Port its first defeat. Keyes won the high jump and 440, and M. Sills the broad jump, but Barraud's absence in the weight throwing was strongly felt. Bob Keyes' achievement of gaining eight individual points at the La Salle M. A. meet greatly helped Port to tie with South- ampton for first place in Suffolk County. Bob won first in the high jump, gaining the championship of Long Island in com- petition with many city schools. The Purple flash also won third in the 440. Stein took fourth in the high jump. At the county meet the championship' was dropped to Sayville, who totaled 30 markers. Patchogue's 28 took second, while we followed with 24. Keyes totaled 10 points, winning in his two events. M. Sills won the 220, while Stein and Newman were second and fourth in the high jump with Bob. Both relay teams gained third places. 104 L. I TEAM CK TRA D' CYD O5 v-4 MSIE e PJJLGLSIE53 Ezmvhall 1937 Although the team was somewhat weakened by the loss of several regulars through graduation, the situation was easily remedied by the selection of many younger candidates. Early, before regular practice was held outside, a series of talks on baseball rules, problems of play, and team-conditioning was conducted by Coach Kiessling. The boys traveled to Patchogue on May 1, to lose a close game 8-3. Port held the upper hand, stealing several bases and getting four hits to the four of our hosts. However, the hits were not well bunched, and a misjudged fly in the outfield resulted in four additional runs for the Red and Black. Central Islip set us back 7-2 for our second defeat. The Purple and White walked five visitors, but struck out eight to the one walk and two strike outs gained by Central Islip. Defeat was turned into victory when fifth and sixth inning rallies converted a 6-0 count in favor of Islip into an 8-6 Win for Port. The boys were held scoreless for four chapters, but Jacunski's superb pitching, combined with Port's heavy hit- ting, completely overtook the South-siders. Despite the fact that Jacunski struck out 13 opposing batters, the Purple dropped a close game to Bellport 3-2. Smithtown lost a 5-0 decision to Port as a result of our hitting power. The runs were all earned, with both teams gain- ing an equal number of strike-outs and walks. Center Moriches was outplayed in every stage of the game and rightly found itself on the short end of a 5-3 count. The boys landed 6 hits to the 2 for our hosts and also struck out six to one by Center Moriches. We traveled to Bridgeport on Memorial Day to be trounced by Bassic 9-0. The Purple and White were completely out- played, especially in hitting. Bob Slesinger Was most effective with the bat. A close and hard fought return game was lost to Center Moriches 11-10. The lead changed hands many times, but our opponents were finally victorious. 106 19 EE e cQfftGl SIE 53 1 1 Batting Averages A.B. H. Avg. A.B. H. Avg.

This defeat was the third loss for the Purple and White since this sport was introduced by Mr. Benjamin during his first year as Athletic Director. The season opened auspiciously for the Purple and White as Setauket, Central Islip, Center Moriches, and Smithtown were easily conquered by Captain Fred Shultz and his cohorts. However, the match with the Eastenders proved to be another story. Shultz lost a close match to Dyer of the Maroon team by a two point margin. Walter Erland faltered, after a good start, and was conquered by White. The doubles team of Ed Newman and Wally Brown played exceptionally well and defeated their opponents. All of the team of last season is on hand for the spring campaign except Shultz, who graduated in 1937. 108 19 SIE e gyffal SIE 58 Edward Luerssen, better known to the students of Port Jefferson High as Big Ed, was captain of the 1936-37 bas- ketball team which won the school's first title in this sport. Recognized as one of the great- est guards in school history, Luerssen also added to his lau- rels during the 1937-38 cam- paign. During his sophomore year he was a regular back- field man on the football team. Bennie Jacunski was cho- sen captain of the 1937-38 championship basketball team, co-holders of the title with Patchogue's Red Raiders. Since his Freshman year Cap- tain Jacunski has been a mem- ber of the basketball squadg for the past two seasons he has been one of the outstanding players of the team. For four successive seasons Ben has been a'member of the baseball infield, as well as an end of the football team. He was a regular in tennis during his freshman year. 109 19 SIE e gyffal SIE 53 Cfirln' Eaakvthall RESUIVHE Dec. 23 Port Jefferson 17 Alumni Jan. 20 Port Jefferson 17 Smithtown Jan. 28 Port Jeff-erson 25 Central Islip Feb. 11 Port Jefferson 20 Islip Feb. 24 Port Jefferson 15 Bayport Mar. 1 Port Jefferson 10 Smithtown Mar. 10 Port Jefferson 12 Bayport PERSONNEL C.F.

Peterman C. Stein Beginning early in the season, a large and enthusiastic squad of girls began working for the coveted few positions on the varsity basketball team. With several veterans out to re- gain their posts, competition became keen, and the group as a whole worked hard to achieve individual ability and attain a measure of perfection in offensive and defensive team tactics. The first encounter of the season was the annual Alumni game played during the Christmas holidays, and won by the High School by a two point margin. Next came the trip to Smithtown where the Red and White was defeated, oddly enough, by exactly the same score and same margin as in the first game, 17-15. A visit of Central Islip to our court a Week later marked their defeat in the most one-sided game of the season. Then, on the Islip court, the Purple and White had its first taste of defeat, by a one-point margin. We were later downed by Smithtown and Bayport, but came back in the last game to tie the latter school. Port Jefferson scored a total of 116 points during the season, as against its opponents' 109. No review would be complete without mention of the brilliant shooting of Anna Jantella, who was the high scorer for the season. Malkmes was second, and Cotroneo was third. Likewise, it is imperative that we recognize the consistently reliable guarding of Di Pietro, Hof- mann, and Janet Smith, as well as the work of Hankewich and Peterman, who made a very creditable showing. Game captains were chosen during the season, to officiate in each instance, and at the end of the playing schedule Anna Jantella Was elected honorary captain for the season. 110 2 411 an 9+ ,xx Q QC cm 54 Q M CD ft' co En A cw: P-4 Q5 Janet Smith, Hilda Peterman, Marie Jantella, Charlotte Malkmes, Anne Romonoyske, Ann Front Row: Evelyn Di Pietro, bb UD .E -J 9, ,-1 E rn ci :: mi E 'E III Jicinsky, Slophie Trubisz, Elsie June Haggerty, atfasel Margaret Hankew ch, Constance Smith, Ll Ruth Q S a N ll as o Di 19 SIE E gyffal, SIE 58 Ellie Girl Qluhrta Hazel Davis fCaptainJ Mary Anderson Jane Hoffman Virginia Barraud Marie Hofmann Elizabeth Callen Anita Holm Helen Chaplin Catherine Kempster Anne Cotroneo Elizabeth Loper Hazel Diebel Eugenia McCrea Edith Ferguson Hilda Peterman June Haggerty Paddy Plummer Daisy Hall Caroline Stalb Muriel Heberlig Helen Swezey Betty Heesch Thelma Terry Patricia Hoagland Wanda Wozniak The Girl Cadets, formerly known as the Girls' Pep Squad, organized earlier than usual this year under the ef- ficient direction of Miss Eby. This group of ambitious girls, who report for practice at eight o'clock in the morning, exe- cute marching tactics, fancy formations, and spell out the letters signifying the competing schools. These exhibitions are given during the halves of the home games in basketball and football. The girls did not participate last year until the basketball season, but this year they performed for all of the games. A new costume was also adopted this term. It consists of white slacks with purple stripes, white shoes, sweaters, and purple and white felt over-seas hats. These hats have been given to the girls by the school. Since these hats have been worn by the Girl Cadets, they have become popular with the entire student body and are much in evidence at all the games. The drills are given to the accompaniment of the High School Band. The girls are indebted to its director, Miss Hosley, and its members for their splendid cooperation. In addition to learning new routines for each game, the Girl Cadets introduced in assembly several pep songs which were later sung at the games. They also joined with the cheer leaders in singing and cheering. Hazel Davis, a post-graduate, is the captain of the Girl Cadets. This project is indeed an interesting one. The organization fulfills its purpose at each game and has grown to be a per- manent feature. 112 GIRL CADETS 19 E E Cr ,fat E-E 58 Arrhvrg Team: Elsie Jicinsky Anna Koroliszyn Anita Holm Pamela Karlin Faculty Adviser: Miss Helen Eby Last year the girls' archery team practiced twice a Week, Monday and Wednesday, north of the school. During the prac- tices, as well as in the meets, the girls shot a Junior Columbia Round which consists of four ends of arrows, each from dis- tances of 20, 30, and 40 yards. The first tournament, a triangular meet with Riverhead and Northport at Port Jefferson, was held May 21. On June 2, a novelty shoot at Islip provided amusement as well as a test of skill. June 7 saw our team competing in a meet at Babylon against Lindenhurst, Bay Shore, Islip, and Huntington. By some strange coincidence, the Port Jefferson girls' team score placed second in each of the tournaments. The team has lost but one of its members, hence the 1938 season should be very successful.

To top the season, on November 6 the team engaged in a Soccer Sports-Day Tournament at Patchogue, competing with seven other Suffolk County teams, A committee of judges chose an All Star Suffolk Team on which Evelyn Di Pietro and Janet Smith were awarded blue ribbons and posts of honor.

The purposes of this group are to form a common ground for the discussion of the rules of all games played at every season of the year, and to improve the technique of ofliciating at games during the intramural pro- gram. The girls who desired this instruction met every Monday at 3:40 in the locker room. There were regular assignments, studies, and round table discussions which have since proved of inestimable value. After studying the fundamentals of bas- ketball, all of the members were given a Written and practical test compiled by the National Amateur Athletic Federation. The highest scores were made by Sophie Trubisz and Anne Cotroneo. The members, all of Whom are especially active, have had plenty of practice in the gymnasium and on the athletic field in the varied roles of referee, scorekeeper, timekeeper, umpire, manager, and coach. Plans are now being formulated to con- tinue the regular meetings of the Junior Officials with the opening of the soccer season next September. Long life to this enthusiastic organization! 116 19 SIE e Gr' fiat EYE 53 Evnniz '00 'u ' Early in April, a squad of sixteen enthusiastic candidates reported to work for positions on the tennis team. After pre- liminary indoor instruction in the fundamentals, technique, and rules of the game, regular periods of practice and instruction were held at the Malkmes court. Special effort was made to develop each girl into a Well-grounded, all-court player, with practice particularly concentrated on the service, forehand and backhand drives, volleying, and net play. Intramural tourna- ments were played in both singles and doubles. The personnel of the team which competed in interschol- astic matches was as follows: Elizabeth Darling, Charlotte Malkmes, Madeline Scesny, Patricia Hoagland, and Anne Cotroneo as reserve. . The first encounter of the season was with Northport, on the opponent's territory, Port Jefferson winning the matches by the margin of 3-2, with the loss of one in singles and one in doubles. The Purple and W'hite racquet-swingers next met Bay Shore, on their courts, emerging victorious by a score of 4-1, and losing only one singles match. 117 19 EE e Cgyftal EE 53 1 Girlz' Eanrhall At the first spring baseball practice a promising squad of thirty players appeared, to begin working for the coveted berths on the team. With less than half of those represented being seasoned players, the squad could be seen on the field every Tuesday and Thursday after school, striving to perfect the technique of playing each position properly. With several girls trying out for each position, competition was keen and a Well-rounded team was soon formed. Four intramural tourna- ment games were played between squad teams and gym classes before the interscholastic season opened. THE LINE-UP QCD E. Malloy CSS? A. Cotroneo IPD D. Burrows fSSJ L.

Members of the varsity squad coached and refereed for the intramural boys. As always, each class was well represented by capable aspirants. The Seniors, as in football, walked away with the honors, winning three straight games and the school championship title. The graduating class defeated a hard-fighting Sophomore group 9-17 in the only really close game of the series. The Jun- iors fell before a 16-0 onslaught, while the Freshmen fought to a 13-5 finish. The first, second, and third year classes finished in a three way tie, each winning one and losing two. Members of the Senior team were: Frank Trubisz, William Gahwiller, Wilfred Johnson, Leonard Quibell, Jack Cassidy, Edgar Walker, Bert Smith, Gus Poerschke, and Joe Arnaboldi. lnterclass Football Noon periods during the fall were greatly enjoyed by the participants from the class teams, and by the many supporters who gathered about the field to view the touch football games. Members of the varsity team ofiiciated at the contests, which were scheduled and arranged by Mr. Benjamin. ' The Seniors upheld their superiority by easily defeating all their rivals, thereby gaining the championship. The Sophomores gained second place with one win, one tie, and one loss. The Juniors lost one and tied two, while the Freshmen followed with two losses and a tie.

For the first half the game was fast and furious and resulted in a scoreless tie. However, during the last half, youth triumphed over age and the teachers fell before a 21-0 onslaught. 119 19 SIE 8 gy,-,-'fall EJE 58 Soccer After the fundamentals of soccer had been taught by Mr. Benjamin in the scheduled physical education periods, each of the classes of the school sponsored a team. The members of each playing unit elected a captain who was responsible for the appearance of his players at the scheduled time, as well as for the frequent substitutions which were necessary if a large number of students were to benefit from the activity. In the tournament the aggressive Junior team defeated all opposition to reign supreme. Interest in this fall sport was so great that the students hope to have a team which will be per- mitted to play in inter-school competition with other high schools. Noon Hour Program In many schools the problem of how to enjoy a noon hour confronts both faculty and students. During the winter months this period is most significant because of inclement Weather conditions which frequently make outside play impossible. At Port Jefferson the time between quarter past twelve and one o'clock is profitably occupied by a variety of activities in the school gymnasium. On Thursdays the school Dance Or- chestra provides music for social dancing. On other days bad- minton, ping-pong, and shuffleboard reign supreme. Students who do not wish to compete watch the various tournaments with interest and cheer for their favorite team or contestants. Of course, not all the students engage in the same activity simultaneously. A definite schedule of events is planned by Miss Eby and Mr. Benjamin in advance. In general, this part of the school day is looked forward to by all classes. Instead of being a time of listless boredom, while waiting for the after- noon session, noon hours at P. J. H. S. mean opportunity. General Statement Regarding Intramural Sports At Port Jefferson High School emphasis is placed upon participation in many activities in conjunction with physical education. In addition to the sports reviewed under the various headings, tournaments are in progress in ping-pong, badminton, shuffleboard, and golf for both girls and boys. As the girls' physical education department intramural teams play a limited number of games and matches with other high schools, the pictures of their outstanding sport groups appear elsewhere in this volume. Among the girls' intramural groups shown with appropriate summaries and pictures are: soccer, tennis, baseball, and archery. 120 N0 jf ga, X K , fv?.v:. Z , M...

In rhythm quick and melody soft May it float, with sweetness, far aloft And return without delay, Bringing with it added swing and sway. And when at last my practise done I'll go out and have some fun, On sunny beaches and in forests dark, Where I may sit and calmly mark, Every sound that Mother Nature knows, And every wave that comes and goesg Till my mother's voice comes down To tell me teacher's back in town.

The leader barks and they all begin To shuffle their feet. What a din! First Swing it high!, then, Swing it low, While round and round in a circle they go. They do the queerest things, and it's called dancing, CIt looks more like an old horse prancinglb Still round and round till you'd think they'd be dizzy When someone suddenly yells, Shine, Lizzie!

Mildred Bishop '39. 122 19519 e PJJILGLEIE53 Uhr Eliinh, Hagrhnlugint Suprrme Have you ever gone fishing with other people? If so, do you remember anything special about each one of your compan- ions? You should, because there is something about fishing that brings out the dual personality in people. Men and women do strange things in boats and on docks when there are fishing lines in their hands. I can distinctly remember the time I went fishing with my Uncle Ned, who is as gentle a man as I have ever seen. Little did I know that I was in the same boat with a man who had a suppressed desire to be a first-class murderer. Every time he pulled a fish aboard, he would reach into the tackle box and drag out a gory knife. Seizing the finny denizen of the deep in his left hand, he would plunge the knife into its stomach and clean it with one bloody stroke. The expression of sadistic de- light on his face was very character revealing. However, there is a slight chance that Uncle Ned's bravado might have been slightly feigned. You see, Aunt Amantha was on board with us, and the fish were also revealing her true character. Aunt Amantha, let me state, was the true exempli- fication of a pants-wearing Amazon. I imagine that Uncle Ned had more than one suppressed desire, because his dearly be- loved spouse was a perfect suppressor. At all events, it was well known that Aunty feared nothing tangible. During the course of the afternoon this supposition was violently de- stroyed, however, when an unfortunate accident happened. Uncle Ned was dangling his line carelessly, when suddenly he got the proverbial bite. Giving a hearty heave, he sent his prey flying over his shoulder. It landed right in Aunty's lap and started to wiggle. Now a two-foot eel playing tag in a person's lap is a start- ling thing, to put it mildly. Aunt Amantha emitted an undig- nified, unladylike and very frightened screech. Casting the offender to the deck, the former lion of the household became very un-lionlike as she burst into tears of fright. The secret was out! Amantha, bless her soul, was no Amazon. Rather, she was a timid little creature hiding behind a bold, bad, front, Ned, may it ever be so, was not a henpecked husband. Rather, he was a typical, average American citizen. And all these disclosures came about as a result of an after- noon's quest after small, aqueous, creatures. Is it any wonder that I have entitled this essay- The Fish, Psychologist Su- preme ?

In this great wide world, now and again, we find friends who are similar to this steadfast light,-friends whose presence makes us feel calm and reposed. Somehow, their symmetry of dress, their quiet demeanor, and their gentle voices blend in making us realize the deep beauty within their souls. What a diierent picture is presented in the evening. Gentle breezes blow the light, fluffy clouds across the new moon and make the water dance in little ripples. Occasionally, when the moon is bright, the outline of the lighthouse is visible. But the never-failing beam shines steadily in all directions. Through the lighter and darker moods of our lives, there are friends who remain forever loyal, steadfastly maintaining a pleasant atmosphere and a helping hand to those in need. Friends of this type are invaluable. Now, the light breeze has become a strong gale, tossing the waves into a mad whirl of Whitecaps and pounding them against the rocks. Lightning flashes between the clouds which have grown dark and heavy. In each flash we see the light- house, beaten by the waves and lashed by the rain and the wind, towering majestically in the clouds. This night, 'there are many ships grateful for its guiding beam, for without it they would be lost. When we are having a serious conflict within ourselves as to which path to take, then the good advice of our guiding friends shows us a clear way. Unconsciously, our friends help us. Their own fitness to cope with a difficult situation sets an example which furnishes us an inspiration to forge ahead.

Since freshman days this pilgrim- age had been an incentive, a goal to be achieved, and eighty- one seniors and their chaperones boarded the train which had been Well decorated by the junior class. Even the send-off was auspicious. Approximately three hun- dred relatives, friends, and under-classmen cheered and sound- ed automobile horns as the carefree and expectant class of 19x38 headed for the national capital and other historic shrines of our country. Accompanying the party and making every effort to be of assistance to the travelers were Mr. and Mrs. Vander- meulen, Miss Darling, Miss Keevil, and the class adviser, Mr. Benjamin. . Arriving at Pennsylvania Station, minus the original car decorations but still retaining the gay spirit which so charac- terized the entire trip, the seniors boarded a special train of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Continuing to Philadelphia, all boarded buses for a tour of that historic city. Here the home 126 19 EEE e Gr ftal SIE 58 of Betsy Ross, the famous Liberty Bell, and the United States mint Were of special interest. Mr. Vandermeulen thoughtfully arranged for a new nickel for each student to keep as a sou-- venir. To give all the details of the stay in the capital city would be impossible. Although a systematic tour of Washington under the direction of competent guides was accomplished, individual preferences for historical, scientiiic, and governmental centers varied greatly. Some students evidenced a preference for the capitol, the White House, and Congress in session. Others were delighted by the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian, Lincoln Memorial, and the flowering cherry trees along the tidal basin. Trips to the Naval Academy, Mount Vernon, and the Na- tional Cemetery at Arlington were very impressive. At the Academy the Port Jefferson group was fortunate to see the midshipmen on the parade grounds. A visit to the Department of Justice was made unusually educational by one of 'the famous G-men. . 127 Q, Q? ONE 0 .Q F E i . Q hibxqfeybf 4 3 F . .
