JUNIOR NOTES The following students were elected class officers by the Junior Class: Albert Langworthy ............ President Victoria Maxwell . . .... Vice-President Herbert Houghton .. ..... .Treasurer Edith Meyer .................. Secretary On the 27th of April, the third year Eng- lish class journeyed to New York to see the University of Pennsylvania Varsity Show, at the Metropolitan Opera House. Miss Larmon had charge. On Tuesday June 4th the Juniors pre- sented a fantasy entitled I igureheads. Each member of the east helped to make the play a success. Victoria Maxwell as Felicia was a very spirited and fiery princess and she did very well in this colorful part. The Prince of llomdomiter, as played by Herbert Houghton, was a rather humorous young man who, in his calm and forceful manner. was a check on her unruly temper. Edith Meyer as Gertruda, the l'rineess's Maid, por- trayed the most humble and obedient servant in a convincing manner. George Fitzroy lent more Royal Splendor to the scene as the Guard. Altogether the play was very effect- ive and enjoyable to the audience.

SCHOOL NOTES The class of twenty-nine wishes to show its gratitude for Mr. Lidstrom's kind assist- ance throughout the school year. He has showed the boys how to print and helped very earnestly in the printing of the first edition of Sc-raps. The programs for the Senior Plays. so neatly and a1'tistically done, are Mr. Lidstrom's work. Lastly, he has promised to make our Cl iss Night program. We ein appropriately borrow some of Mr. Lidstrom's own familiar terms in reference to himg he is on a plane above the level of mediocrity and his modesty has no p:1rallel.,' Harold Harriott THE NEW TEACHERS Miss Van Keuren. Miss McPhee. and Mr. Lidstrom have adapted themselves to Rye Neck in a remarkably short space of time. To the body of students they have endeared themselves by their sincerity of purpose. Miss Van Keurcn succeeds Miss Dunn as instructor of history. Miss McPhee teaches mathematics, formerly taught by Miss Hut- chinson. Mr. Lidstrom takes Mr. Darling's place as manual training and mechanical drawing teacher. Harold Harriett COMPETITION It seems to us that Hare and Nichols are having a great time seeing who can wear the most bandages in school. Nichols started it off in football by cutting his eye. The next morning found Fred with a little white band- age over his eye. Dud immediately got mad because Fred was one ahead of him so he went out and sprained his ankle. Another bandage made its debut. That made it even all around and they went on peacefully. Then these two gentlemen went automobile riding and behold! the next school day they both appeared with bandaged heads. Still the score was tied! But Nichols is a clever little boy and so to be ahead he smashed his finger and came to school showing it off to Dud. Dud again decided to make the score tie and came with another bandage for Dud had one on his nose. Let us hope there will be no more competition between these two. The moral of this story is a star in the field is worth two on the benchf' One of them AN HOUR OF' ENTERTAINMENT The Speech Art Classes of Rye Neck pre- sented a very interesting Hour of Recita- tions and Music on May 1. After the program had been introduced by Doris Offer- man, the high school orchestra under the direction of Miss Romaine played a Spanish Dance. Joan of Arci' was presented with good effect by Dorothy Bryant. Jeanne Egger held the attention of her audience as she presented The Painter on Silk. The Girls Chorus sang the Waltz Song and then Anna Kuhn presented Edward Mark- ham's. Lincoln the Man of the People. Roses of Picardy was played as a saxa- phone solo by Fred Langworthy and the two of the younger members of the high school, Nancy Reinke and Irene Miraglia presented The Frost Spirit and The Petrified Fern,', the latter a very interesting poem by Mary Bullis Branch. Another musical selection, a piano solo, by Violet Gee followed. Audrey Hare gave The Smaller Joysf' by Edward Guest, which was followed by Between Two Loves a poem in Italian dialect by F. A. Daly presented by Mary Quintavalli. The Boys Chorus sang Lullaby Moon and then Madeleine Houpcrt, Victoria Max- well and Florence Kelsey recited three Selec- tions about. The Road Not Taken. The House By the Side of the Road, and Tukesbury Road. Harold Harriott, the eminent violinist of the Senior Class, rend- ered VValtz by Brahm and an encore num- ber Romanza Andaluzan by Pablo de Sara- sate. As usual both numbers received won- derful applause from the audience of Parents, Teachers and Students. Doris Offcrman and Evelyn Rosofsky pre- sented the last two selections, Old Shipsi' and Be Yourself. A piano duet by Violet Gee and Angelina Lanza closed the very enjoyable program. Glen McQuakcr The Woman's Club Bulletin for May con- tained plays by two of the younger members of tl1e high school.

ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE David, reading aloud in History A, about the early scientists: Archimedes was going to take a hath, and therefore he got into the bathtub. His body displaced some of the water, and to his astonishment, he saw the water rise in the tub. Profoundly he thought, and thought, and thought. and then gave a triumphant yell: I have found it, I have found itf' The Teacher asked David, What was it that Archimedes found? David was silent, he did not know. The teacher asked the class the same question, and lo and behold, at last a tiny voice CWillis'j cried out. Per- haps it was the soap. Lincoln Belluscio ,,..L.L.i-.1-. THE SUNDAY DRIVERS Every Sunday they go forth, From Haiti to away up north. They push and shove and rush along. Then stop awhile to sing a song. They never give you half the way We know is now needless to say. They stop to read a sign post there, The women all adjust their hair. The men all argue which is right And on the road they have a fight. Then on their way once more they go, On to zigzag to and fro. And as they go a-bumping by, One can almost hear their cry, We smash, we crash as we go past- We are so good and drive so fast- And to the cops pass long, green fivers For we are the Sunday drivers.
