1 EDITORIAL STAFFS REMARKS ON SENIOR PLAYS Famous war cry of Red, 'iliut I havenit done anything yet. We see that Mr. Eekley has realized his aspiration-a cop, Mr. Harriott has disappointed us by turn- ing electrieal engineer instead of an orches- tra leader. You'd better not go around trying to apolf ogize any more, Mr. Halsey. Needless to say, Rose's heart is again mended. I'm sorry, Helen Hay, but it looks as though you'll have to remain an old maid. Mr. Maher, your grammar is absolutely atrocious. We see that Perry is still tinkering with lights. What a shock to find Miss Scherer. Grandma Miss Halsey, your stubbornncss is very unbecoming to one so young. VVe hope that you have made the fathers more tolerant of the younger generation, Miss Gale. Mr. Langwortliy says he specializes in, Speeding, Stealing and Bootlcggingf' Sure looks bad, I ritz. Mr. Nichols lost his first wrestling match in many years to Mr. Pcriconi. After handling that ear, Mr. Hains is too quick for you, Miss Haruls. -Jack Freeman REMARKS Mr. Hare assures us that he has perfect control of the car going forty miles an hourg but we don't know, because he says he was only doing thirty-five. Mr. Hains told the doctor he was dead. Quite an active ghost he left, I'd say. Nichols must have found a nurse he liked at the Doc-tor's. It's going pretty far Nick when you have to smash your finger to go back. Jack Freeman Page Thirteen

SELECTING THE COLORS In choosing our class colors A few strict rules umst we, With utmost diligence observe. Regarding harmony. I think that green and white, says Dud, Vlho hates two shades of blue, i Are quite the nicest colors For this fine class to choose. Says Stew. I.et's leave the white alone. Instead of it take gold, For white gets dirty very quick And makes the felt look old. Now Robert Hains does favor us In his peculiar way. Says Hains, I don't see why you don't Choose scarlet fredj and gray. llut this last choice is quite reversc To our originality. Why Master Hains-where are your brains? 'I'hey'rc the colors of twenty-three. Of course the girls all favor The fancy names like these: Nile green, burnt orange, salmon pink And indigo, cerise. Each one thinks his suggestions Are quite the shades you see. And so if two don't suit us all We'll have to select three. We, the class of '29, have chosen as our colors burnt orange and royal blue, two fancy names. For mentioning the fact that these are girls' colors I must apologize to Bill Rcinke, who suggested the chosen lilies and showed us a really beautiful color combination. Harold Harriott MAPS Maps arc here for us to see, 'I'hey're a vital part of history. We must see them to understand The ancient and modern lay of land . Elizabeth Gale BANNERS A year of intense study has passed by Since last year's Seniors hung their banner high But now in June, alas. it must make way VVhile that of twenty-nine holds sway. So down you come, oh, banner so puzzling, In Greek letters, unknown, excelling, O'er which no more others need try to scheme, As to what you might possibly mean. We raise our banner of orange and blue, A lasting symbol of our class so true. And no explanation need expressg All know the meaning of R. N. H. S. Let it a guidance, Juniors, be to you And all the younger underclassmen too. And may it a memory of us raise- VVhen we depart, here it spends all its days. Marion Hare WHAT'S IN A NAME? F. E.

Augusta Romaine THE SENIOR PLAYS The Senior Plays of '29 were presented Friday evening May 24-th, in the High School Auditorium. According to critics, the plays were the best presented in many years in the history of Rye Neck. Two of the out- standing characters in Forty Miles an Hour were Mr. Radley, Dudley Hare, and Judge Peabody, Fred Langworthy. The twins in The Telegram, Dorothy and Stewart Halsey played their parts exceed- ingly well. Much credit should be given to the stage manager of Dinner at Seven Sharp, Fred Nichols, for the way in which he handled the lights during the play. We recommend Edward Maher asia messenger boy for any florist shop or as an insurance collector: he has the knack of having men sign on the dotted line. Miss Romaine, the faculty advisor, was presented with a bouquet of roses as a token of appreciation of her hard work in per- fecting the casts. Glen MeQuaker FAMOUS WORDS FROM THE DRAMA lVIarmaduke: Parsons! Parsons! Call a policeman at once. Parsons: Is there anything out of the way, Sir? Mrs. Beverly: Come, fly. Marion: Put those papers down at once. Bixby: I thought I had the address right- Lawton: I don't dare go in a strange cellar alone. Mr. Radley: Crazy-headed, rattle-brained. Mrs. Radley: Charles, I won't have you say such things about Peggy. Peggy: I wish it had been dark. Policeman: Ah! I guess you'll go aisy on the gas. now. Grandmother Rad: Those who worry all the time and- Judge: Those who, if they do, keep it to themselves. Sis: And then I can enter upon my chosen career- Don: Career-Bunk. Ann: Oh it ean't be he. Bert: .lust what is your objection to me. son. Mrs.: That clerk certainly must be dumb. -E. Periconi Page Ifawrteezi.
