A man capable of holding the highest posi- tion in the United States should have the best qualities. Experience in politics and also in a government position should be his. He should have a strong will power so that he may do what he thinks is right. Last but not least his love for his country should come before all things. -Michael Auletta -x- -me -x- as The highest oH'ice in the government of our nation should be held bv the man with enough determination to branch out from his conser- vative party principles if the time should require it. Only a man respected by other nations should rule our nation. --Mary Borel -x- -x- -is -ie lVe want a candidate who can handle the present issues efficiently and sanely. With such great questions as prohibition, flood and farm relief at hand, he must be thoroughly acquainted with these matters. Increased tonnage for naval vessels must be coped with with respect to the resources and finances of the country. -Jeanette Robinson 'X' 'X' 'K' 'X' He should be one who will uphold the ideals of the nation and thus gain the respect of his countrymen as well as that of the world. -Marion Hains -x- -x- -x- -x- He should be the type of man that will gain the respect not only of our own people, but that of foreign nations. -Ruth Gunn A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH How much truth lies in the proverb, A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. It is applicable in numerous cases too. For instance, the man Who actually owns a little Ford is satisfied with it, while his enviable friend boasts of the good looking Buick he's going to have next year. The contented owner of the Ford is still running it when the next year comes around. while the would- be Buick owner is still thinking about get- ting one. Won't you agree with me that even if the Buick is the better of the two, yet the Ford surpasses it, for it's the bird in the hand? -Marion Hains JOSEPH ARCHIBALD I Joseph Archibald was now a rich man. He had just sold an 1898 Ford ,Limousine for 3100. The possibility of such a sale will not be discussed in this story. He decided immediately to deposit the money in the bank. Carefully dressing him- self, he set out as a man of importance would. It was a very windy day and Mr. Archi- bald realized this only after a game of tag with his precious derby. Once he looked for his hundred dollar note. He did not find it. He hurriedly searched his clothes, but to no avail. He glanced up and saw an orange paper fluttering in-the breeze some distance away. He jumped at the conclusion that it must be his note and he once more laid the blame to the wind. He began the chase. Mr. Archibald. with his robust build, was, however, competing with a force which he had not hitherto real- ized. The note flew ahead, sometimes near the ground. sometimes high. It was headed for the dock. The ferry was just preparing to leave. At the last minute the note arrived and was taken on board by his friend the Northeaster.' Mr. Archibald pulled up just too late, but nevertheless, he made a daring leap. He missed. He was in the water. The ferrv stopped. Mr. Archibald was picked up. 'Ilhe first thing he went for was a piece of orange paper in one corner. He picked it up. Instead of a number in each corner, he found written through the center the word Sunkist. The note was an orange wrapper. Mr. Archibald almost collapsed, but he somehow managed to control himself and started for home. On arriving there, he round his hundred dollar note carefully fold- ed in his dresser. --Milton Glatzl ACCORDING TO THE JUNIORS Teacher-At the close of the World War why was France eager to regain Alsace-Lor- raine? - Junior-Alsace-Lorraine had been such an excellent port in years gone by that France wished to recover it. Teacher-Locate Scheswig-Holstein Junior - Schleswig-Holstein is situated south of Germany on the Baltic Sea. -Camille Houpert Page Flfmn

PRESIDENT TIMBER The ideal president ought to have the good of the Uniteil States always in mind. He should not be a partisan when he appoints men to office-their qualities and abilities in the right direction should be the prime rea- son for his choice. His moral standing should be of the highest, for he is an example to all his people. -Hazel Coakley as -ne -1- -me We are soon to elect a president. Let us choose the right kind of man for the position. To govern a nation as large and as com- posite as ours, we must have a man at the head who understands the varied conditions of affairs in America. He must be wise enough and Big enough to be a fitting re- presentative of our nation in the eyes of the world. His character and reputation must be spotless. his conduct irreproachable, and his manhood unquestionable before he is fit to represent the United States. In short, he must have all the characteristics which we, as a nation, strive for and boast of. -Willard Meyer -as -ne -xr -u- A presidential nominee should be a man well informed of all conditions prevailing in the country both past and present, and he 'should express broad-minded principles in his platform. and show that he is not a man ruled by his party. -Mary Moore -x- -x- -me -x- No candidate who has all the fine qualities and characteristics which are always looked for in a man, but still lacks the ability to think clearly and to manage with a firm and intelligent hand, should be chosen. -Donald Stevens x- as -1+ -n- He should be fearless and far removed from anv corruption. His character and be- havior should be irreproachable. A man who is out of the reach of political bosses and machines is the best presidential timber. -Violet Martin 'I' 'I' 'X' 'X' The first thing which should be considered is the candidate's previous career. Ask yourself if he has done things to benefit the public or if he has been led by political bosses. -John Landsiedel His fitness for the ofiice should be deter- mined largely by his capability in diplomatic affairs. Candidates for the presidency should be men of high ideals. They should be broad- minded enough to accept our Constitution with its amendments as final, something which cannot be altered or removed to satisfy personal opinion. If they have had previous governmental position, it will be to their ad- vantage, for they will have a clear conception of the needs of the country and will be en- abled to do the greatest good for the great- est number. A -Eva Wenzel -xf -x- -x- -x- A man with presidential aspirations must have several outstanding characteristics. Most important of all is honesty. Can you imagine a country with our prestige and wealth with a crooked man to guide us? Then he must be fearless-be willing to ex- press his views on the most important issues. He must be a man who will enforce all laws regardless of his own personal opinion and who is as nearly unpartisan as possible. If he has the latter nualitv, he will have both parties represented in his cabinet and so he will have unbiased views on all important issues. -T. F. Goldmann as ac- -we ar- An American citizen. who is trying to gain the nomination of his party. to be the model for all the others of the nation to pat- tern after. That any man so running should be well educated, broadminded and intellectual goes without anv discussion. A candidate should be one who is well versed in national and international affairs. a man whom others will respect, a man of dignity so that other nations will respect him. And of course our candidate must be an apt student of the English language, one who does not use the common ordinary slang language of today. -Robert Montgomery as -me -x- -x- This dignified office demands a man of sterling worth and a man who is man enough to represent the American people and not the political bosses. Our presidents have come from different social classes. This is well, for it has re- suted in the harmonious blending of Ameri- can ideals. -Milton Glatzl Page Fourteen

CLASS NIGHT PRESIDENT,S ADDRESS It is my privilege to speak this evening in the name of the Senior Class of '28, After four years of work, we have come to the end of our term with the best of feelings towards all. ' .nthough we have not been in close contact with the ,Board of Education, we have felt their presence and interest in our work. They have supplied our needs. We thank them. We also thank Mr. Bellows and the mem- bers of the faculty for their patience, in- dulgence and interest in our welfare during the past four years. Their word and help have been unfailing, and, as a result,'we stand before you, a large and, may I say a fairly successful, class. Our friends and the alumni deserve many thanks for their support of our various ac- tivities open to the public. We have been conscious of their interest and cooperation in all things. It has been a help to us to have had such friends as Rye Neck seems to have. As a parting word, we cannot help but give some advice to those whom we leave behind us. We have been in your places and realize your sentiments and ideas. Let us urge you to consider all things fairly and from all sides. If you have certain theories and principles stand by them, but do not close your ears to well meant, honest criticism. Do not be reluctant to concede to the wishes of your teachers. You probably will find out in the end that they know better and that they will help you if you show willingness to cooperate with them. As you know, the Senior Class is supposed to be an example to the other classes of the school. We do not like to be considered in that light, but since it must be so, We ask you not to take us as we are, but to search out our good qualities and disregard the less favorable ones. In this way the graduat- ing class will be a better class each year. What better wish could we have for you and those who will come after you? -Willard Meyer Maybe now we're glad to leave, Later on we may regret, Statistics show that all do grieve, Who've gone to school and can't forget. CLASS NIGHT The Class Night Program is still in em- bryo, but the usual features will be given in the usual original way. There will be class songs, class poems, the President's address, class will, and the past, present and prop- hesied future of the class. There will also be the address to the underclassmen and their responses. Four years ago a lusty crowd of tots Scrambled through the halls of Rye Neck High. They rightly numbered over sixty-five And thought of naught but fun, Till lo! they waked To find their Sophomore year had just be- gun. Here they worked with zeal but found they still Had time to fool around and slip a class. They soon passed into joyous Junior year And settled down to facts as wise folks do. By that time there were only forty odd And fully 'ware of their own high prestige. Once more they ventured forth to lead the throng Bv now they'd dwindled down to thirty-one Their fame and skill and high import You've witnessed in the class of twenty- eight ! -Mary Moore Friends, Juniors, and so forth-lend me your ears! This is a very serious subject, and it is altogether fitting and proper that you educate yourselves as to the subject matter. We, the honorable, most beloved, highly cherished, and above all the most highly praised Senior Class femphasis on the capital SD are requesting you with the utmost of sincerity to do this institution of learning the greatest possible honor. It is up to you, my dear Juniors, to follow in our footsteps, and see that with the greatest of care you carry on the many beneficial, high- lv-lauded enterprises that we have started. Of course we realize that this will be next to impossible, but Juniors, dear Juniors-as a last request, we beg you. ever on our knees in reverence to our school, only, to give up your frivolous ways and at least try to be as Worthy as your sister class of 28. -Dorothy Fitch Page Sixteen
