Pathetic be- cause of their abject misery at having been deprived of their freedom. Frightened bef cause cf the vast strangeness of this large study-hall and the proximity of the principal's office. Not frightened but hardly less pathetic was Miss Wilhelmina Hutchinson. Through the use of almost daily lectures and being kept after school, the class of '31 learned not only their lessons but also the rudiments of common courtesy and dignified behavior. Their highfschool social career was started with the annual Hallowe'en party and dance. An assembly program of great inter' est on Birds and Flowers of May was pref sented by the freshman English class. 1928-Sophomores! Almost dignified. Not until now had the freshman assumed his prof per insignificant proportion. The class of '31 by comparing themselves with the foolish freshman, realized the importance of the step they had taken. A new studyfhall and teacherg theirs for two full years. With a new and happy feeling of importance the class settled down to work. They experif enced some feelings of awe' and respect for the illustrious Senior but lost all respect for the juniors who raised cain and were in trouble almost as much as themselves. In their second year of' high school, they presented a Book Week play, depicting various characters from books, in the assem' bly. They were also well represented at the Hallowe'en party. ' As Juniors the class of '31 assumed a posif tion of real importance. They entered en' thusiastically into sports, were ,quite active socially, and behavior and work improved greatly. Their literary talent was recognized in several editions of the Junior paper, The Quidnunc fBeware of imitationj The Seniors were treated to an exception- ally pleasant party and dance at the Annual juniorfSenior party. The main entertainment was the chorus girl dance gracefully executed by the blushing boys. The junior science class made visits to the Suburban Ice Plant and the Brooklyn Poly' technfc Institute where they viewed with wonder and delight interesting experiments and exhibits dealing with laws of physics. At the Metropolitan Opera House, the en' tire junior class enjoyed john Faust Phd , presented by the University of Pennsylvania Mask and Wig Club. The thrill that comes once in a lifetime was experienced in june when the respective members of the class of '31 were informed that their exams were largely successful and that they were now technically Seniors . Their senior year is the year that the class of '31 shall treasure most in their memories of school. Their activities and adventures to' gether have formed a strong bond of friend- ship amongst them and made everlasting their senior days. This last year for the graduates has been the busiest and surely the most enjoyable. In every branch of school activity have the seniors been prominent. Four tea-dances and a card party were held in the gymnasium, tickets were sold for a halffdozen other enter' tainments, food sales were held, candy was sold at school, and the senior plays were showng all to raise the fund necessary for the Washington trip. The thrilling trip to Washington is second only to the final, glori' ous activity, graduation. James Reed Page Fifteen Svvninr Qllawa lirnphrrira In 1940, while I was sitting in the lounge of Annapolis Hotel, I saw a familiar figure and thought it was a former classmate of mine. I walked across the room and saw that it was our Class President, Henri Houpert. He carried his saxaphone in his hand and in' formed me that he was playing in the Anna' polis Band that evening. He asked what I had been doing and I told him that I was in Washington on business, as I was now the Secretary to the Australian Ambassador. In speaking of our classmates, Henri told me that he had met james Reed who is the head of a large number of soda fountains in Washington. We discussed Angela Pecoraro who had just secured the position of librarian in the Congressional Library. Also, Frank Holby was the Manager of the Port Chester Life Saver Corporation. When not in his oHice, he is seen speeding along the highways and turning corners on two wheels. joe Tierney is managing the baseball team for the Mamaroneck All Stars. We discussed the stage production, Night and Day, in which Miss Lucille Tocknell had the leading roll. Lucille had won a beauty contest previous to her stage appearance. Anna Kuhn, I told Henri, had graduated from Elmira College with high honors, and was now secretary to the Mayor of New York. Billy MacFadden, to his mother's great joy, is a successful engineer. He is now contemf plating building a bridge in the Sahara Desert. Robert Gunn is thinking of taking a trip to West Africa in his new airplane. Bob is an experienced pilot and spends quite a bit of his time wondering why the motor is necesf sary. It was past eight o'clock and Henri had to go, so I settled down to read the Australian Daily Bugle. I noticed, to my surprise, that Richard Gainey was the EditorfinfChief of this famous paper. Miss Lucille Frascella asf sisted him and took charge of the articles on college life, especially those of Fordham Uni' versity. The headline seems unusually large, it says, Raging Fire Destroys Home of American Consul. It says further, The spacious home of Robert Wakeman at Melbourne was des' troyed by fire today. The consul was away and the caretaker, John Walters, declined to make a statement for the press. The fire chief, Walter Haines, who was recently ap' pointed because of his unusual ability, was inf jured while directing his men. Further down it says, Captain Robert Lux plans to make a cruise around the South Seas in his famous ChrisfCraft. He will be accomf panied by the professional golf player, Alex Campbell, who will attempt to teach the game to the South Sea Beauties. Well, 1et's see what this is under the Perf sonal Column. Miss Nancy Reinke, re' nowned Professor of English Literature, has been awarded the Nobel Literature Prize for her latest novel. Page Sixteen Evelyn Rozofsky is presenting a series of lectures on What to Read and Why. The Misses Selma Erickson and Mary Fredrfclzs have been chosen as the head nurses at the new Rye Neck Hospital. The interior of this beautiful edifice was designed by Miss Dorothy Bryant. Miss Doris Wolf is now private secretary to a large law company which is managed by Harry Foreman, a shrewd lawyer. It is said that Mr. Foreman could defeat any of Shy- lock's crafty ideas. In the Art Section, there is a beautiful por' trait of the Society Leader, Miss Martha Estep, painted by Rene Miralia, the foremost artist in America. There is a poetry corner where one can read some of Virginia Skelling's lovely poems every day. I recall that Virginia was our Class Poet. Sarah Friedlanderf' writes the athletic editor, has obtained the championship for Westchester County by her spectacular demf onstrations in tennis. Charles Pratt is a Professor of Science in the University of China. His many discovf eries have advanced science. Josephine Ockershausen Page Seventeen 3luninr Qllaau Itliutnrg JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES The junior Class was organized February 5, 1931. The following officers were elected: President, Harold Daviesg Vice-President, john Farrellg Secretary, Raymond Lapollag Treasurer, Constance Pratt. Friday evening April twenty-fourth, the annual JuniorfSenior Party was held. The gym was uniquely decorated as a show boat. At the start of the evening three onefact plays were given by the members of the junior Class. Dancing followed the enter' tainment. Music for dancing was furnished by the Clover Club Orchestra. During inter' missions refreshments were served. On May second a group of Juniors under the guidance of Miss Larmon, were the guests of the Mask and Wig Club of Pennsylvania University at the Metropolitan Opera House. A musical melodrama, East Lynne Goes West! was presented. On May twentyffirst the juniors gave a tea dance for the benefit of the Seniors. Quite a large number of students attended, dancing to the strains of the popular Clover Club Orchestra. For the first time in many years junior class members dominated in the athletic activf ities of the school. The major part of letter men and substitutes were of the class of '?-2. The junior boys' basketball team was not as successful in the interfclass games being defeated by the Seniors. The girls fared better, winning all games played. The junior Class published three editions of the magazine, Vox Gentis . All contrif butions were by the juniors. Thus the calendar of the Junior Class is replete with varied activities. Harold Davies Page Eighteen I .,, . Svnphnmnrr Qllaaa Fflisturg In the fall of '28 the present sophomore class made its entrance into the halls of its alma mater, Rye Neck. As for their Hrst year, like all freshman nothing eventful hapf pcned. But this year they have shown that from now on they wish to take an active part in school activities. In the Hrst social function of the scholastic year they carried off the honor by winning first place for the best stunt. The end of th: football season feund two of their mem' hers entered for football letters. In basketball four qualihed for their RN's and again in baseball letters were awarded to four team pl iyers. Nor did the girls fail to qualify for lettersg and many who received them for hockey, will not be forgotten for their masterful per' formance on the field. Three sophomores ref ceived insignias for basketball. Sophomores take particular pleasure in ref minding people of their talented cartoonist, Arthur Belluscio. He was first brought to light by winning first prize in the contest conf ducted by Scraps . Seeing this advancement in so short a time, what shall we be able to anticipate in the future. Page Nineteen ' s Ifrwhmrn Gilman liiainrg FRESHMEN CLASS ACTIVITIES For the Freshmen, their Hrst milestone has passed. They have taken their place in schocl activities with marked success. The first social event of the year for them was the Hallowe'en Party. They put over their stunt with success, which must be com' mended. In athletics the girls played an important part. Their basketball team carried off all the honors in the interfclass games winning the championship. At the end of thc season sixteen letters were awarded for athletics. It may be noted that the Freshmen girls and boys are represented in all school sports. Besides taking an active part in athletics, they did their share of community relief during the Christmas season. A word of encouragement for the Fresh' man class-may they have the same success for the remaining three years. Page Twenty fT? v Ill' -f'nl,,l 1 lZ ff' as ' ' -N an 4' A- 'bf X ye .

When we entered as freshmen four years seemed so long. Now when we look back at the end of our Senior year, we realize how short these four years were. Four years crammed full of work and fun,-the work which prepares us for the later tasks of lifeg the fun which is enjoyed during high school as only students can enjoy it. One hardly realizes he is no longer a Freshman when he suddenly finds himself a Senior! The Senior year, the last year of school, is crammed more full of work and joy than ever. This year this truth has been very evif dent. For besides doing the usual things, four editions of Scraps were issued in addif tion to our year book. That makes one more edition than was ever published before. Also the class created a precedent by taking a trip to their National Capitol, Washington. They raised the money for the trip by running several social affairs. Why do the Seniors fill their last year with so much work and pleasure? Naturally to make it last longer. One hates to think of his school days being over,-those days which overflowed with happiness. As we glance back over the past year, we find that not a little has been done in the way of athletics. Rye Neck can truly be proud of its athletic season. After all, sports play an important part in developing both the character and the mental capacity of a high school student. Athletics should be a part of the education of every normal person. The body must be developed along with the mind. Nothing is more stimulating to a person than to see a boy or girl, who takes an active interest in sports, but who still is taken up with the educational side of life. It is the aim of every high school to en' courage athletic competition whether it be among the boys and girls themselves or with an outsider. In the three major sports, namely football, basketball and baseball, that Rye Neck en' gages in, there has been success marked by the true sportsmanship and clean playing of the members of the teams. The football season must be marked as one of the most successful in the history of the school. Even the basketball and baseball teams did their share in bringing Rye Neck into the limelight. And in the course of our discussion, girls' athletics must not be forgotten. Although these athletics have not been developed to the high degree that they should be, still there has been interclass competition which has proved most profitable. To the teams and athletes that may come after us, Scraps Staff wishes unbounded sucf cess in anything that they may undertake. Anna Kuhn Martha Estep Page Twenty-one 'Vt 1 'Lit era urs . THE AGE OF SPEED Once upon a time, an old man sat on the steps of a country courthouse, and when a stranger approached him and demanded what one did in his little town, he replied: Wal, Stranger, sometimes we sets and thinks, and thinks, and sometimes we jest sets. That old man dwelt in an age of relaxation and deliberationg an age of reflection and meditation, an age of leisure. Now the world has turned a complete somersault. We of the present generation, dwell in an age of haste and confusion, an age of energy and actiong an age of speed. We are indeed far removed from the age of the gracious lords and ladies, who, after a leisurely toilet of two hours, sat down to a twelve course meal, from which they arose, amply satisfied, several hours later. Their evenings were spent in quiet conversation by a cheerful fireside. Consider the average modern business man, who dashes from his office, perches on a stool at a drugfstore lunch counter, and proceeds to consume a hasty meal of cheese, crackers and malted milk. His evenings are usually spent at an amusement park or a Tom Thumb Golf Course. For the modern age demands canstant action. The leisurely toilet of the reflective age has been abolished as well. It has been effective' ly demonstrated that a modern girl may garb herself for the day with five gestures. Speed has left its traces also in our various means of conveyance. In place of the tranf quil old horse and buggy, we find the peace' destroying nhorseless carriage . The younger generation of today seems to delight in rushf ing madly hither and yon without regard for the sensations of the lower forms of humanity who come within their range. The antedeluvian railroad train of the ref flective age has been replaced by a powerful mass of iron and steel, driven by the force of electricity. In place of the picturesque paddle-wheel of former days, we find a monster oilfburner, which propels our ships at an awefinspiring rate of speed. Consider for example, our modern Europa which ploughs up the seas and crosses the ocean within a period of four days. The greatest strides of all have been taken by the aeroplane. The gracious lords and ladies of the age of leisure would indeed marvel could they view the air manoeuvres of today. For the pleasurefseeker too, Speed has a certain charm. Such terror-inspiring con' traptions as the rollerfcoaster, put to shame the mildlyfthrilling merryfgo-round. In aqua' planing too, modern youth has gratified its desire for speed. It is interesting to observe that even in the reflective age, the mania for speed had begun to pervade the human mind. For the thrilling horse races of today origin' ated in a lesser degree, in the age of leisure. Yesterday, as well as today, crowds thronged the race tracks and rooted for their favorites. The speed mania has assuredly taken a firm grasp upon humanity. Our imaginations know no bounds when we attempt to predict the marvels of a few decades will reveal. With' Page Twenty-two out doubt, air traffic will have become one of the problems of the day. The speed of machinery will be increased 89W. The world will have become a wonderful region of fly' ing wheels, shuttling pistons, whirring machin- ery-an everfchanging maelstrom of motion. The age of leisure will have become as ex' tinct as the dodo. The world will be held in the powerful grip of the age of speed. Humanity will be borne along despite itself in the stream of progress. Nancy Reinke How to Amuse Yourself While Waiting for the Traffic Light to Change It has been estimated that the time wasted in one week by people waiting for traic lights to change, equals the time still to be served by the combined inmate population of all our jails, including those in for violating the prohibition act. There is no reason why every motorist should not have a set of Harvard Classics tucked away, ready whenever the opportunity presents itself. Besides he could start for downdown in the morning, get caught in a few traffic jams and arrive at the office quite well educated. Hornfhonking is another way some folks have of amusing themselves when the lights are against them. Like yawning, it is conf tagious and soon spreads. While a traffic serenade has never been known to have the slightest effect on an automatic lighting sys' tem, it sometimes proves effective on one operated by hand. Making faces or casting looks upon the driver who has just cut in front of you is another way to pass the time when you pull up to him at the stop light. It is even possible to exchange pleasantries. Pedestrians, too, can find ways of entertain' ing themselves while waiting on corners for a break in the traffic. Red Rover is about the best game, and the last one over is it. The idea is, not to get tagged by a passing taxicab. Lucille Frescella MAN EATING CORN-ON-COB Bold, dapper man enters crowded restaur' ant and orders cornfonfcob. Order arrives. He butters and salt in small portions, holds daintily by finger tips and takes small bite with success. He glances about for signs of approval. Adds more butter and salt-larger bite.

Virginia Skelling Page Twenty-three A DESERT MYSTERY Outlined against the sun, setting behind an Arizona desert scene, was the silhouette of a a man dressed in the picturesque Western garb. He had a dirty gray sombrero pulled over his eyes to protect them from the flying sand and the glare of the passing sun. His pants were torn, worn, and tucked into his high runfdown shoes. The handkerchief around his neck was of the same color as the sky surrounding the sun. He was leading a tired but patient burrow carrying a light pack with no prospecting tools, showing that the wanderer was not led on by a search for gold. He glanced about him, and seeing the un' usual deepness of the red sky, knew that he was to suffer another dreaded desert storm. He found a small valley betweeen two small dunes and proceeded to unload his pack and protect himself as best he could from the fly' ing sand. About a halffmile away, another wanderer saw him make camp and quickened his step in order to have company before the storm broke. In a few minutes he had arrived there and the usual, Howdy, Stranger , the calm salutation of the desert passed between them. The storm broke, and a beating, driving, cutting sand drove them closer to each other for protection. After six hours the storm continued with unabated fury. To keep up their courage, they began to talk guardedly at first, but as the conditions of their com' radeship continued, they spoke more freely. The first told his story, of why he had come into the desert. He told of a brother of his, mercilessly killed two years before. His brother, Godfrey, had been showing a friend of his, his African collection. He, reading in the other room, had heard a heated argument, a brief silence, a shot, a scream and a crash of breaking glass. He rushed into the room and the friend had fled, leaving his brother with a shot through his lung. He had never seen the friend, but had heard that he had gone West. He had come out here search' ing for him. During the telling of this tale, his voice had become low, husky, trying to hide his emotion. A look at the other showed him to be astonished, turned to stone and staring into the darkness. At the completion of the story, he leaped to his feet and paced up and down. After a terrific struggle with himself, he planted himself directly before the other and spoke: Stranger, he said, for the past two years, I have wandered through this desert, trying to escape the past. I've been seeing the face of the man I killed accidentally. Now is my chance to get it off my mind, and at least live in peace for the little time I have to live In this storm we can never escape. Albert Howe, I killed your brother! Howe gathered himself into a ball and leaped at his throat. A terrific struggle ensued with Howe having the advantage, because of his two years' desire for revenge. He had the other by the throat. The stranger tore his hands from his throat and shrieked, Don't, Howe, it was accidental. I tell you the gun went off without my knowing it. I was un' familiar with the old trading guns and I Ered it accidentally. It was an accident. Man, don't you see that one who is about to die can't lie? How slowly loosed his grip and stood up. He walked slowly away, and drawing a blanf ket over his head, sat still. The stranger slowly arose and taking his own blanket, sat beside him. The storm continued for fortyfeight hours and finally broke, leaving as it had comef suddenly. A beautiful desert moon shone down upon two bodies, side by side.

Nancy Reinke Page Twenty-four REACHING FOR THE CLOUDS As one stands casually gazing up at one of New York's latest skyscrapers thinking of its beauty of arhcitecture and marveling at its height, one usually thinks of it not as the result of slow development, but as the marvel of this twentieth century alone. One never dreams that people centuries ago fancied such skyscrapers as those which now exist. But just as transportation has progressed from the stage coach to the railroad, so has the skyscraper been of slow development. Centuries and centuries back we are told in fables, legends and poems that the people of the ancient nations dreamed of erecting tall towers. For example, we have the Bible story of the Babylonians, who dreamed of a tower that would reach the heavens. People came from all over the known world to help in constructing it. There was the din of hammering stones, the babble of voices and strange tongues, and all the bizzarre of the East. Because of the lack of machinery and the incomprehension of the various strange languages the tower was never completed. This may be considered, however, as the first vision of the skyscraper. Some nations which had this desire to reach out into the clouds have left us monu' ments which contain their dreams and visions. Mysterious Egypt has left the Pyramids, ex' cellent examples of their engineering skill. In Greece the temples, such as the Parthenon whose grace and beauty still influence archif tccture are, are still standing. Rome has left the Colesium as a monument of her civilizaf tiong the middle ages-its castles and Gothic Cathedrals. But all these may be considered as part of the age of visions or legends. The people either dreamed of constructing enorf mous buildings or partially succeeded in doing so. Let due credit be given these former attempts, but let us remember that it is we, the people of the twentieth century, who have Hnally made the skyscraper a reality. That which was the fancy of yesterday is the reality of today. We have taken the various principles left by the countless ages and have combined them with the miraculous engineer' ing feats of today. The skyscraper incor' porates the setback or tower principle of the Pyramids, the grace of the Greek temples, the enduring quality of the Colesium, com' bined with this age's engineering skill. One of the iirst skyscraper marvels was the Woolworth building of New York. Since then New York has become a forest of sky' scrapers. In 1929 the Chanin building was erected but it held its supremacy as the tallest building in New York only for a short time. For in 1930 the Chrysler building sprang up even taller than the former two. In this same year Europe followed in the footsteps of the United States by constructing her first skyscraper in Antwerp, the twenty stories of which make it the tallest building on the Continent. It is especially noteworthy that Antwerp should be the first continental city to allow the construction of a tall commercial building, since it is one of the oldest cities on the continent. Then in the year 1931 among the hundreds of skyscrapers which were completed, there appeared one which will probably be rememf bered for many years to come as the tallest building ever erected by man. The Empire State building 1,248 feet tall, the highest structure in New York's forest of skyscrapers, is well fitted to be the Hnale in this reaching towards the clouds. With its 200 foot moorf ing mast, which is a unique feature of thc building, it connects with its only manfmadc rivals for soaring honors-airships. Whether this mooring mast is practical or not has yet to be proved. But it certainly is spectacular. One can easily imagine what a thrill passenf gers would get coming out of the nose of a Zeppelin and entering a slender tower a slender tower a quarter of a mile ahove the street. just as in former centuries people had the desire to raise their buildings into the air, so we have the tendency of raising our traffic into the air along with our buildings and reaching further into the clouds. In 1930 air traffic was quarupled as compared with that of 1929. And the culmination of this increase was expressed in the air maneuvers recently held throughout the United States. The earth has become so crowded, and traffic so Page Twenty-five congested that we have been forced to utilize the the broad expanse of air and have made another fancy of past ages a reality by raising our traffic to the upper spaces. It is difficult to foretell the future. The people will continue to struggles toward the clouds, erecting taller and taller buildings. Air traffic will increase and some day people will be accustomed to step from a sky' scraper a half a mile in the air into a waiting plane. Perhaps in thousands of years, our skyscrapers will be considered lust such inf affectual attempts as we consider the tower of Babel. Scientists, although this seems too fanciful, may even journey to Mars, that planet about which they are now puzzled. But one thing seems certain, where we now speak of reaching further into the clouds, they will speak of reaching into infinity. Anna Kuhn A CHOCOLATE FANTASY fBy one who 'earned her quota for the Washhigton Trip, I A monstrous old man who called himself Mr. Schrafft appeared from somewhere. His chocolate brown appearance frightened me as he thrust a sticky rag into my mouth and proceeded to wind celophane paper about me. I started to laugh hysterically at my silly en' casement but my laugh faded as I saw day' light slowly disappearing. Mr. 'Schrafft had not ceased, as I thought he would, when the celophane was wrapped about me once, but he kept winding the shiny, airftight paper about me till I was almost stifled and blinded by the silvery mass. I felt myself lifted and carried upside down till it seemed the blood would burst from my head. Finally, when I thought I could stand no more I felt the paper being pulled away and I felt damp air on my face. When I became accustomed to the darkness, I noticed small things like mice crawling around on the damp earthen floor. They crept nearer and nearer to me and I could see that they were not gray, like mice, but some were bloodfred, ghastly white, greenishfsilver, blue and brown. Some looked as if their skin would fall from them as they crept, like snakes, closer and closer to me. They were chocolate bars-alive! ! I heard a harsh laugh, my captor came for' ward and dragged me to my feet. He led me to a small green tent, which was wallfpapered with a queer design of electric numbers which kept changing with such rapidity it confused me, so that I did not realize I was being ushered into a larger green tent with the same lined and numbered wall pattern as the one before. I noticed with astonished that the other members of the Class of '31 were present. A huge banner with the word Quota waved over a stage in front of us. That was the name of the play which was going to be presented that evening Mr. Schrafft told us. Then he screamed to me, Why are you standing there like that? Get busy and direct your dance number. I was astonished to see some of the wall figures come down and stand on the stage. Mr. Schrafft brought forward a huge man whom he called Mr Trip. They told me to arrange the figures attractively and produce several good numf bers or the play, Quota , would not be presented, nor would they lead us out of the tent-like houses we were in. I found the figures were plentiful enough but they were poor actors. I struggled for hours. My friends came to my aid, and after much screaming and ordering about, the figures formed themselves into a number we were proud of. The quiet Mr. Trip now smiled at us and came our way. I awoke from a slumber which came upon me while looking over my note books for the last time, and I laughed at my nightmare. Our number proved large enough, we pref sented our quota , and Mr. Washington Trip loomed ahead of us. Ho! What fun! Lucille T ocknell Page Twenty-sim HIRING HELP An advertisement in a daily newspaper reads, Wanted, a girl for general house work. Sleep in. Recommendations ref quired, In 1831, a girl answering this advertise' ment, would come to the rear door of the house. She would probably be a foreignor who spoke English with great difficulty. In one hand she would be carrying her recom' mendations, a sheaf of papers. The Lady of the House would look over the recommendations, bully and crossfexamine the girl until she blushed and stammered, and then stormed around until the girl accepted the position at a starvation wage. She would say, Hulda's your name, you say? Well, Hulda, your recommendations are not as good as they should be but we'll over look that, if you take the position for five dollars a week and board and also do the washing and ironing every week. You want six dollars! I should say not. It's out' rageous! The last girl I had only received four and onefhalf and she worked for Mrs. Van Something before she came here. I suppose since I am having the Sewing Club over this afternoon, I have to hire you. It certainly is terrible, the independence of hired girls nowadays. Your room is on the third floor. It is rather small but it's clean. In 1931, the Girl walks up to the front door, rings the bell, then poses on the top step like a model. The Lady of the House opens the door and the Girl walks into the living room. She makes herself comfortable in a chair near the fireplace. Before the Lady of the House has a chance, the Girl begins, I read your adverf tisement in the paper and I'll accept the posif tion with these provisions. My room must be on this floor but far enough from the kitchen so it does not smell of the cooking. There must be at least two windows in thi room. If you have a large dinnerfparty a week, you'll have to eat out two nights. Cook ing regular meals along with the extra largc ones, is entirely too tiring. You will have to have my laundry done for me, otherwise I won't be able to do the upstairs work. Now, if you will accept my conditions and I find your recommendations all right, I'll go to my room and unpack. Mary Fredricks A SENIOR SKETCI-I Four years! Short years!

Virginia Skelling Page Twenty-seven THE WATERS UNDER THE EARTH MARTHA OSTENSO I'd like to get all of the Welland children together in front of me and say to them, Come on, and assert yourself !'l But I know what they'd do. They'd shrug their shoulf ders in a resigned way and answer, There's father, you know, we can't hurt him. Yes, there always was Matt, their father, blind to their desires, keeping their bodies tight within his house, and always patiently reclaiming their fluttering souls. Matt Welland did not beat his children. Ah! no, that would be ungodly and un' christian. Instead he restrained them by his prayers, his constant beseeching of God's aid and forgiveness, and his tentacles which twined and then clung so tightly that they could not be shaken off. In vain did Ruth marry Clinton Proles, a farmer to gain freedom from her father. At the end she returned home sick in body and mind after having burned her house with her husband lying drunk inside. David, Tom and Pager, with the boys, tried their best but they all returned to be under Matt's watchful eye. The fact that I urged and hoped for Jennie didn't help, for IvIatt's words and the memories of him were stronger than jennie's love and my urgings. She tco returned home a cripple with a bitter and resentful mind. Then there was Sophie still longing over her frustrated love. Frustrated, of course, by Matt. And above it all Matt smiling, How content I am with my happy family. Only Carla, the youngest, declares over and over again her impatience with tradition and restraint. But Martha Ostenso has impressed too strongly upon my mind the power and evil of their devoted father. So, no matter how long and how loudly she cries of her freedom, Matt's sonorous voice, gently reading the Bible will call her back to the unhappif ness of the family circle. She too will sucf cumb to The mystical waters under the earth-the pulling, deadly tides of suspicion, of fear, of bigotry . Evelyn Rozofsky A WINTER NIGHT Soft snowfshrouds drape the earthg While from distant slope of towering hill Comes a long drawn wail of the owl's evil Will, Chill North winds rattle icefcased trees, And while the moon gleams o'er the silver expanse, Weird shadows flicker in a wavering dance, Anna Kuhn PROPHECY Far places have I wished to see, And always longed to roam, So I shall go, now I am free, And leave the things of home.

Virginia Skelling Page Twenty-eighf 0911 Glheatrv 132515 Since the old adage All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy is equally true in the case of Jill, I went to the Mamaroneck Play' house the other evening. I noticed with def light that there was a clear path before me to the screen. Sighing, I took off my coat, relaxed and prepared myself for an enjoyable evening. The lights went off, the music started play' ingg the picture started and-in walked a newcomer dragging his wet umbrella, hat, and overcoat over my dress. That dress never did look the same afterward. Well, thought I, that's only to be expected. I controlled myself by counting slowly to ten and again looked toward the screen. But where the screen had been before there now loomed a huge, black figure. I twisted to the right, I twisted to the left and so with one eye partly closed I could see a corner of the picture. Oh well, thought I, that doesn't matter, 1'll be able to understand the picture by the sound effects. But here I was sadly mistaken for on my left two girls had seated themselves and to my disgust one of them decided this was just the time and place to describe her new dress to her friend. Her voice droned on and on, only interrupted by her friend's highfpitched laughter every few moments. To add to the pleasures of this extremely enjoyable evening, a little girl seated behind me thought my neck the place on which to wipe her sticky hands. That wasn't so bad, but one of her sticky chocolates filled with some abominable concoction fell down my back and impressed itself there firmly between my dress and skin. The little girl began to cry on the back of my neck because she had lost her candy. By now I had lost the proper angle at which to see the picture. Because of the two girls having their delightful conversation. I could not hear and I could not even be com' fortable because of that child's crying and because the chocolate had started to melt and run down my back. I was a little deranged by now. Queer thoughts were passing through my mind. Suddenly I began to laugh loudly. Instantly the two girls, the large man in front of me and the mother of the baby in back of me decided that I spoiled their enjoyment of the picture. They called an usher and still laughing wildly I was es' corted to the outside door. My shattered mind still remembered the way home, and about midnight, still laughing madly, I entered my own home. Time and care have built up my mind and nerves but I shall never forget my terrible encounter with theatre pests.

Herbert through trickery obtains his father's permisf sion to go to a boys' camp, which Mr. Win' stead had been opposed to, and also helps Roger in obtaining Anita's hand in marriage.

Its success was certain as nearly the whole high school turned out. To start the entertain' ment, each class presented an original and amusing stunt. A prize was awarded the sophomore class whose performance was most enjoyed by the audience. A promenade and award of prizes for the most distinctive costumes was next on the program. Virginia Skelling received the prize for the most attractive costume. The funniest costume and make'up was exhibited by Whit' ney Erickson, the most original, by Robert Gunn. Following this, dancing was enjoyed until after eleven when the party broke up. james Reed A recital given by Miss Mayme English' Lillotte on May 1, although not overwhelm' ingly successful from a financial viewpoint was certainly well received by the audience. Her presentation of many of Edgar Guest's poems, in costume, was very entertaining. A story hour, also given by Miss Lillotte for the grammar school, was a great success, nearly every student in that department attending. james Reed JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY Cn Friday evening of April twenty'fourth, the juniors gave their Senior Classmates the traditional Junior'Senior party. The gym' nasium was decorted with flags and pennants, anchors, life preservers and various nautical implements, representing a Yacht Club. Three very funny skits were given which did a great deal towards putting everyone in good humor. The best was probably the modernized version of the Assassination of Caesar. The skit of Barnacle Bill, the Sailor, was acted by two boys, and their presentation made the audience roar with laughter. After the entertainment, refreshments were served and dancing followed until eleven. The Senior Class is much indebted to the Juniors for the party, and it will always be remembered as one of the most delightful evenings of the year. Robert Lux On the evening of December 12, the Par' ent'Teacher Association gave a circus in the gymnasium. The actors and actresses were made up largely of members of the student body of both schools, trained by members of the faculty. About four hundred and fifty children and adults attended and enjoyed an hour's performance in the one'ring circus. The circus atmosphere was accentuated by candy and lemonade booths at the entrance to the gym. james Reed Page Thirty-two P. T. A. cALi3NbAn OCTOBER This meeting was first of this year and was followed by a reception and musicale to .he tcacliers. Refreshments vere served in the gymnasium. NOVEMBER At this meeting the Senior Class presented several one-act plays which were e..tremely well done and received hearty applause. DECEMBER Under the direction of Miss Scutt and Mrs. Coyle a circus was presented in the gymna- sium. The admission charge was Zfic and over 500 people attended. The associatfon made a S75 profit. JANUARY This meeting was omitted on account of alterations being made on the school. FEBRUARY This meeting was held in the Barry Avenue School and featured a distinguished speaker. MARCH At this meeting the fathers in the com' munity were honored. There were singing, musical numbers and speakers for their enter' tainment. The evening ended by refresh' ments being served in the gymnasium. On March 27 the Fordham Glee Club gave a very successful concert under the auspices of the association. The concert was followed by dancing in the gymnasium. Music was furnished by Burns' Columbians. Refresh' ments were served by Mrs. Marsland and her committee. The profits of 5103 were donated to the Senior Class for their Washington Trip. APRIL At this meeting the pupils of the 7th, Sth, and high school were guests. They were en- tertained by Vernon Stone and his wife. They caused continued mirth and applause for their act. NIAY At the annual meeting in May the yearly reports were read. Mrs. Marsland succeeded to the office of President at the complegkn of the second term of Mrs. Jean A. Refnke. Mrs. E. B. Ingraham was elected lst V'ce Presidentg Mr. H. C.

Miss Scott presented an unusually interesting dance recital. At the close of the meeting the Refreshment Committee served icefcream and cake to about 125 members. Dorothy Bryan: TEA DANCES The class of '31 has established a precedent of holding teafdances from time to time. As the student body turned out in large number. at each dance and certainly enjoyed them selves, it is hoped that other classes will fol low this precedent for years to come. The first teafdance, held on March 7t1.. proved to be such a success that another ma., held about a month later, Due to their su: cess, two more tea-dances followed. The:c were sponsored by the Sophomore and jungor classes and were for the benefit of the Senor class. john Walter.x Due to remodeling of the auditorium, the assembly programs have been very limited. However, those we have had have been most enjoyable and entertaining. In September, two very excellent talks on aviation were given by Robert Lux and Richard Gainey. On Armistice Day, Anna Kuhn recited the poem Young Fellow My Lad by Robert W. Service and the orchestra rendered a few selections. Throughout the year at various times, orchestra programs have been arranged and the musical talent proved themselves a cerdit to the school. john Walters Page Thirty-three ki Page Thirty-four anhingtnn 'rip Thursday-May 28, 1931 Q The Seniors left Mamaroneck on the 5:06 train, arriving in Washington at 11:45. A bus conveyed us to the Hotel Annapolis, which was our headquarters during the trip. Friday-May 29, 1931 After breakfast a sightseeing trip of public buildings was taken. Among those buildings visited were the Building of Printing and En' graving, where our paper money and stamps are made. The only regret was that no samples were given out. The Pan'American Union, one of the most beautiful of Washing- ton's buildings was next visited. Then fol- lowed the inspection of the Smithsonian Inf stitute, the White House and the Capitol. After luncheon a trip to the Corcoran Art Gallery and Mount Vernon was taken. Here the pupils were free to wander at their will for the rest of the afternoon. In the evening the Congressional Library was visited. Saturday-May 30, 1931 After spending a delightful morning at the monastary a few miles out of Washington, the Washington Monument was visited. It so happened that this was the morning of the air maneuvers took place in Washington and the SpectaC1e..rhr111ed all. . ,Q k The afternoon was spent visiting the varif ous foreign embassies, Rock Creek, Arlington and the Lincoln Memorial. X i We left Washington on the 9 o'clock train, stopping off at Philadelphia to see some of the more important historical points. We arrived in New York about 3:15. This trip was one which none of the Seniors will forget for some time to come. A marvelous time was had by all.

No one person seeks his own interests but rather endeavors to further the interest of the group as a whole. It is essential that the team or group operate as a single unit and not as individuals. In atheltics, teamwork is just as necessary in a sport in which two participate, as in an I elevenfman sport. Tennis doubles and foot' ball or soccer will illustrate this point. Each member of the team has his work to do in its moves and plays. If he fails to carry out his part the objective of the entire team is frustrated. It is only when personal glory is disregarded and every effort is made for the team as a whole that success is attained. james Reed Pdde Thifiy-Sim UNIVERSITY OF' NOTRE DAME ATHLEJTIC Assocmrxox .QT NO!!!

Probably no man was more respected by young and old than the great Rockne. Adults marveled at his results, while children revered him. Knute Rockne was all that we could hope a man to be. He had courage of steel and a heart of gold. Page Th irty-.seven ,aa .. - . . A Ilinnthall As far back as the annals of football his' tory in Rye Neck go there are no records to compare with the results of this year's Blue and Black eleven. It is perhaps the first team produced at Rye Neck to finish a season with an unbeaten-, untied record, and, whats more with only one touchdown tallied against lt. Due to its excellent performance on the gridiron last fall the Rye Neck team was recognized by all leading newspapers in New York and Westchester. Rye Neck was one of the three Westchester teams to hand in perfect records and one of the ten in Greater New York and New Jersey. Of these ten unbeaten, untied teams seven played post' season games and through some quirk of fate or the strain, or a hard season, five of these teams were beaten, including Rye Neck, one was tied and the other two won out by the meager margin of extra points. The record made by the football team last fall will long dwell in the memory of Rye Neck students, alumni, faculty, and those who were closely connected with the athletics. Johnny Farrell, right half back, was by far the outstanding player on the team. He pranced across the enemy goal line no fewer than fifteen times during the season. By his splendid abiilty to get past the line of scrimf mage behind his interference and then burst into unusual speed and shift his hips to good advantage, he cut and whirled his way over the line from all positions of the field. Ray Mule Lapolla, the team's captain, though not figuring in the ball carrying as in past seasons played well in the center posif tion. The Blue and Black captain who was the only one to participate in every game last season played a roving game and he was quick in spotting opponents' plays. In the post season game with Harrison he scored the lone touchdown in the waning moments of play on a pass. Frank Holby was also an outstanding char' acter on the greensward last fall. Frank, who came to us from Blackstone Academy, Virf ginia, brought plenty of experience with him and he was a great help to this year's team. Page Thirty-eig'ht Whenever those few yards were needed the signal was called for Huck to crush the line. Few times did he fail. His long spiral punts aided considerably on the defensive while, on the offensive, his powerful arm sent many passes straight and true into the arms of receivers, to us accounting for many long gains. Tony Rigano who was playing his fifth year on a Blue and Black team was an iron man and a tower of strength on the def THUMBNAIL SKETCHE3 john, Big Feet Frascella is, believe it or not, a basketball player. With only Suit- case Simpsonf' fwho has the largest feet in the whole townshipj as a rival, he struts about on solid footing. He must be unbalf anced somewhere, however, because of the fact that he played most of the games on the floor. We must forgive him, though, for he shot the winning goal at Harrison, so I sup' pose his heavy feet are not such a drawback as they may seem. Bob Cannon Gunn Bob is a born athlete. Not only has he skill but he uses his head in all sports. To see him pivot, then pass is one of the beauties of a basketball game. In baseball, he is a daring base-runner who seldom is caught nap' ping. He is fast and knows the old hook- slide, and how to employ it successfully. On the mound he excels, being one of the best ever to wear a R.N. uniform. Thefact that he is a pitcher does not prevent him from being one of the most consistent batters on the team. Ed Wood Our only three letter man of 1931, and a most consistent player in all sports. He handles footballs, basketball, and baseballs in an extraordinary manner, basketball being his most successful sport. He is one of the most quiet and unassuming lads on any of our teams, and we surely like Ed and his man' ners in all sports. fcnsive and a hard crashing full'back on the offensive. Since his grammar school days he has been one of the main characters on Rye Neck grid teams. Tony's brother, Charlie, is also gaining fast and forcing his way into the limelight. Charlie started his career in the eighth grade. As the seniors-and juniors pass on, Charlie will be here to help Rye Neck carry on. Every player on the Rye Neck team, inf cluding the jayvees, did his duty nobly. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Chess is one of the most popular but lesser known sports at Rye Neck. Holby once threatened to give up life' saving. Rye Neck Basketball team once played one against Eve against Salesian, Pat Ortiz being the lone defender Qand offenderj.

Miss Broadt really enjoys music. john Frascella has the largest feet in the R. N. locker room. jack Hull and Arthur Belluscio didn't go out for the teams because they had to build a scow. Fred Nichols of class '29 played in every athletic contest except one, in Rye Neck for three years. Wally Drewes pitched the only nofhitfnof run game in the school's history back in the early twenties. He fanned 23 batters in a nine inning game. lBih 131111 ilfnum That: James Reed is a direct descendent of Roger Williams and that Jeannette Adams is a descendent of the famous Adams family.

Page T71,i1'iy-'.r1i:!e 1 Mzuikrilmll The basketball team, as in past years, held its own by winning six of the ten games played. Coach Sherwood had an excellent nucleus for a winning court team in Bob Gunn, Ed Wood, jim Reed and john Frascella, all ex' perienced in the fundamentals of the game. The two Zerega brothers, Al and Roland, who came here from Port Chester High, and the certainty of Bob Rankin's eligibility, strengthened the team considerably before it got far under way. However, all three of these players left school beforc the end of the season, leaving the team flat footed to battle it out. The season's review The season started with the Valhalla game, the only contest to precede the Christmas ref cess. The game resulted in an easy victory and the coach made many tryfouts. The schedule was renewed with Scarsdale. After leading a major part of the game we were overtaken by Scarsdale's late rally and before a rally could be initiated the final whistle blew with Rye Neck on the smallest portion of the rope. Coach Sherwood led his team to New York to meet a team of varsity substitutes representing DeWitt Clinton, metropolis champions. Rye Neck was over' whelmingly beaten by this fast stepping team. The Regents week recess was followed by the return DeWitt Clinton game. In this game the Blue and Black turned the tables on the team that beat them scarcely two weeks before. The following day Elmsford was taken into camp by a good margin. As in past years, the Harrison game proved to be the season's classic. Rye Neck was trailing 9-3 at half time but a spirited rally late in the third period and ex' tending into the final quarter gave Rye Neck a one point victory. Two quick baskets by Roland Zerega and john Frascella, respective' ly, were the winning factors in the fracas. Elmsford was again defeated, extending the winning streak to four straight. Scarsdale halted this spree abruptly by administering a decisive setfback to the locals. Rye Neck went into the winning column again by sub' duing Greenburgh. The season climaxed with an exciting game against St. Gabriel's, which resulted in a victory for the visitors, Page Forty l mamvhall For a number of years Rye Neck has been unable to put a consistant winning ball team on the diamond. Now, for the first time since the days of Wendell, Potts, Ottman and Drewes, who were of the early twenties, the Blue and Black baseball representatives earned an average better than five hundred. This spring the team finished the season with seven consecutive triumphs after dropping the Hrst four. Coach Sherwood had an excellent nucleus for a good ball team in johnny Farrell, Bob Gunn, Ray Lapolla, Bunt Harris, Ed Wood, Olin Boom, jack Armstrong and Charlie Rigano, all veterans from past teams. Ed Farrell, Harry Young and Pat Triiiletti came through for the first time this season to round out the team. Throughout the season, Bob Gunn starred on the mound, defeating Har' rison as a climax. Rye Neck received excellent pitching from its array of twirlers in every game. In only one game, the season's opener, should the pitch' ers be credited with a loss. We were def cisively outplayed in this game. However, in the three succeeding games the players failed to support the moundmen. Thus each one was lost, two by one run and the other by two. The team finally pulled together in the fifth game and played errorless ball to subdue Scarsdale. Eastchester and Bronxville were successive victims in the spree for victories. Then Rye Neck engaged in a slug fest to beat Valhalla overwhelmingly. The season's class' ic followed, the longfwaitedffor Harrison game. Harrison had only lost one game in nine starts and were favored to triumph again. However, Rye Neck fought stubbornly to overtake their old rivals with a three run at' tack in the fifth to overcome the Ze-1 lead held by the losers. Elmsford and Valhalla were easily beaten, closing one of the most successful seasons in the annals of the sport.
