S5 THE DIEDICATION of the new Greene Avenue Elementary School last fall marked a milestone in the story of the pub- lic schools of Sayville. When We, the staff of this year- ka book, learned that the year 1939-40 also marks the fiftieth A W anniversary of the beginning of high-school work in Say- Sx ville, we felt that this year's edition of the Sayville Senior was destined to be a historical one, contrasting the schools Biz and school life of days gone by with those of today. kg BX A preliminary search revealed that records from 1888 is to the present are on file in the high-school office, but for xg W the years previous to that only meager accounts were SX available. To supplement these, members of our group visited many of the lifelong residents of this village in search of old pictures and more detailed information. Our W findings comprise the theme of this book. QE 532 Plzblislzezl by kg 5354 THE SENIOR CLASS or SAYVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 223 Zi Sayville Long Island W New York EEEEEEEEEKEEEEEEEKEMEEKFKEK

DEDICATION NO ONE has had the success of the Class of 1940 more at heart than Mr. Wenk, our class sponsor. For four years our problems have been his prob- lems, and his help has often made their solution possible. As a concrete, lasting evidence of our sincere gratitude for his constant guidance and compan- ionship, we, the Class of 1940, dedicate this book to our teacher and friend, Tillman E. Wenk.
