Domestic Science Foreword We publish this book in the customary, semi-humorous style in accordance with the customs of our ancestors. Our purpose is, chiefly, a complete review of our Senior year and a keener insight into the character and nature of our class, stressing somewhat the peculiar eccentricities of everybody but ourselves (which is however also according to custom). We trust that our readers, with the perusal of these pages will accept everything in the friend- ly spirit in which it is written and with pleasant reminiscences recall, or anticipate, their own Senior Year. E. F. 8 THE ORANGE PEAL Editorial People, especially young people, spend much time looking forward. A wise man once said, “It is natural for youth to indulge in the illusions of hope,” and what truth lay in his statement! Has not each one of us in fancy seen himself silhouetted against the brilliant aurora of success, as it is so often pictured? Yet, when we track so high with our eyes we fail to see the path over which our feet must pass. Progress over this path must be of the forward kind, if ever we intend to reach the goal. The advancement is not easy; it is tortuous and slow. Each new step calls for courage and determina- tion. The best way to enable yourself to take a new step, like the meeting of a new day, is to do to-day’s tasks in preparation for to-morrow’s. Do the little things and the big things decrease with your own development. Thus you lengthen your stride along Life’s Highway. As Michael Angelo once said: “Trifles make perfection but perfection is no trifle.” The slight touches of weeks of work which others scarce noticed were the trifles which made his statue perfect. So stay in High School, study to the best of your ability and finish with honor. Then your steps will be firmly planted on the path which leads to Success. G. EDNA FREDERICKS. THE ORANGE PEAL 9 Valedictory We stand tonight on that ever present but almost indiscernible line which separates the past from the future. The doors of the Southampton High School are closing upon the class of 1924. We as a class must say “Good Bye” to the school where we have been taught ever since we left the sole care of our parents. v When we first became students here our road was hilly and we often tried the patience of our teachers by our stumbling in climbing to our places as graduates of the 8th grade. When we entered high school, it seems that our love for the school really became apparent. It was here that we learned to use the tools of elementary knowledge, gained in the grades, that they might serve us in the life which we hope holds much for us. We here wish to ti’y to express our boundless thanks and appreciation to the teachers who have done so much to make us good citizens of Southamp- ton and these United States. We wish to give especial thanks to Mr. Sabine, our principal, who has taken a deep interest in us, and who was our faculty advisor this last yeax We have made many firm friends while we have been in high school and we hope that they will not forget us, as we shall not for- get them. We know that they are in good hands and will have the same opportunity for training that we have had through the instrumentality of the board of education to whose silent work the management of this school must be accredited. Leaving, we wish the future Seniors the best of luck as they take our places here. Tonight is very significant to us, because we are now at the point which Time has set to divide our happy, past, school life from an unknown future. The time is now at hand when we, the class of 1924, having completed our course of study hex-e, must bid farewell to the Southampton High School. One, it seems, rarely appreciates the value of a thing which he possesses, until that thing has ceased to be his. We, now, can better appreciate the school we ai’e leaving. Through the faithful and persistent leadership of our teachers, we have been prepared to meet the wox-ld unaided. We have come to appreciate the value of an education. We have made many firm fx-iends while we have been here whom we hope will not forget us. It is hard to leave this school which we love so much. It is hard to leave these familiar halls and classrooms. But to the Boards of Education, both past and present, through whose management this school has been so well px-ovided with the facilities which make it so well known, to our school- mates and the genei’al public, who have so genei’ously supported our class activities, we, the class of 1924 wish to express our most heartfelt thanks and appreciation, as the doors of the Southampton High School forever close upon us as students. wm. McAllister. 10 THE ORANGE PEAL Salutatory Members of the Board, and of the faculty, friends and relatives, we have just passed through one of the most strenuous weeks of our lives, iRcgents week, which is now only a dim memory growing dimmer and dimmer. We have looked forward to the time when we would sit up here as dignified graduates. Finally our fondest dreams have come true and it is with great satisfaction that we have finally attained this mark of distinction. In behalf of the class of ’24 I wish to extend to you a cordial welcome to this our last official act as students of Southampton High. ESTHER STREET. A Seniors High School Diary 1920-1921 We entered High School today, scared to death, Miss Schrader scolded me first thing. I cried. Mother says I must study Latin hard. Seems queer to be a Freshie. Seniors are awfully conceited; am awfully afraid of them. They laugh at us when we walk into study hall. Here’s an example taken from the Red White 1920. “Once I was a Freshie— The self same thing as you— And I think I ought to tell you What you’ll have to do.” (Preaching first thing.) “Always get your lessons, Never tell a lie (as if they didn’t) And you’ll always find Your work’ll go like pie.” (Theirs doesn t.) If temptations do assail you And the work seems hard and dry, Dig in hard and some-day You’ll be a Senior, same as I. Horrid things!! I like High School though! 1921-1922 The “Class of ’22” has organized with Lois B. Smith as President. Snappy bUThe Juniors sure think they’re some. They’ve elected Red Corwith, Presi- dent. Hot stuff! Ya, red hot! We Sophomores must get in the swim. December—Class of '24 called together by Gerretta W. Skinner. Gee it was fun! Townsend iDonnelly almost wrecked the meeting with his clever (?) TGiriErks January 7—We have elected our officers and chosen the colors of “Orange and Blue!” Miss Alice Hudson is our Class Advisor. President, Helen Mc- Allister; Vice President, Henry Trinkhaus; Secretary and Treasurer, Town- send Donnelly. , , ... , February—Held a Sophomore Tea Party. Served punch diluted with tea. Very queer color but quite appetizing. Loads of fun. Ahem, leave it to us. We are “IT.” June 5—Got our Sophomore banner of most splendidly wondrous satin. Quite knocked the Seniors and Juniors over with its glamour. We paraded in with it on Class Day and sang and yelled. Terrific racket! THE ORANGE PEAL 11 1922- 1923 Well, we are now Juniors and supposedly on the top of “Fools Hill.” Con- trary to precedent although we have quite a little friendly rivalry with the Seniors, there are only a couple who seem to be suffering from the disease of “inflated cranium.” Courtland G. Smith is their president. We have held a Junior meeting and Mr. K. R. Edkins is our class advisor. President, Helen McAllister; Vice President, Gerretta Skinner; Treasurer, Lester Fanning; Secretary, Henry Burnett. We have nobly decided to give the Seniors right of way in the financial line so we held our Junior Prom early. There was an unusual program of a sketch, dancing and refreshments. The sketch, entitled “All on a Summer’s Day” was coached by our star theatrical manager, Henry Burnett. Social and financial success. May—Entertained the Seniors at a banquet at school to-night. Daffodil decorations. French menu, Cahoot, good eats and toasts were the program. They seemed to enjoy themselves, especially a certain Senior who was very fond of showering his neighbor with rolls. June—Watched the Seniors graduate, ran around with flying ribbons, bridal bouquets and all the accessories. Personally think these Seniors are causing us a lot of trouble. Everyone seems to think they’re wonderful. They ought to take a look at us. You wait till we graduate and then won’t it be fun to watch the Class of ’25 work! They’re good workers though. Will credit ’em with that anyway. 1923- 1924 The year of our entrance upon the elevated status of Seniors began yester- day. To tell the truth. I don’t feel much different than I did before but we’re considered conceited, stuck up (chewing gum?) and too proud to speak to the Freshies, so we must be different or else it’s they. Really they seem so ready to depict us in every sense possible that even having our mind on some im- portant problem of Algebra or Philosophy is termed snobbishness. Thus goeth the world—ah me. Never mind, they’ll be in our shoes some day too, and realize what’s expected of them. We held our class election today with the following potential results: Mr. Harold F. Sabine was unanimously elected class advisor. H. Nelson Burnett, President; Emily Xerxes Bishop, Vice-President; Edna Fredericks, Secretary; Lester A. Fanning, Treasurer. Good news! Five more have rallied to support the class of ’24 depriving the Juniors of some very valuable members. October 11—To-night was the first of the school year’s activities, the Senior Ball. With orange and blue decorations, radiators a la window boxes, a waxy floor and Dicky’s orchestra, we succeeded in having a very entertain- ing and delightful time. January 16—Have chosen our pilay and are practicing diligently. February 21—We gave play entitled “A Couple of Million” coached by Mis. John G. Peck. Everyone seemed to be fitted for his part and it was considered a. big success in Southampton and Easthampton also, where we gave it on February 28. March—The Patton Brothers gave a musical entertainment from which we reaped a neat profit and derived a very enjoyable evening. April—We sojourned in Washington. Wonderful little city, a place for the under classmen to anticipate visiting. However, no more shall be said, leaving something for you to wonder about and nothing to condemn us with. In June we hope to graduate. Thus endeth our eventful career through high—in fact many of us like it so well we’re coming back. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to all the teachers and everyone of you students for being such good pals and making our course as happy as it has.

The Editor Looks Back Of course it’s all very well for beautiful people to be photographed, people who can raise their eyes towards the vaulted arch of heaven (the rafters in reality) and by sheer transformation of character assume an “I can hear the angels’ wings” expression. It’s all very well, too, for people with Roman noses to strike Vergilian poses, or for people with noble, broad foreheads to put a nonchalant forefinger to their heads and look philosophical. But why should just plain, ordinary people be photographed? They usually don’t like their pictures themselves and neither do their friends. It’s a work of art, in short, that somehow misses its mark. Let me portray for you the throes through which the victim passes. He enters the chair. He leaves it with the feeling of comfort that is brought to an aching tooth when the owner mounts the dentist’s chair. But in detail— the photographer arranges his limbs in what he considers a real life-like and pleasing pose. Really he, the posee, has never imagined a condition so awk- ward and unnatural. Then a strange man whom he may or may not have seen before, tells him to look pleasant and wiggles his fingers to get attention. If you’re real small he wiggles his ears. Some do anyway. But you just can’t smile for your smiles mean something. They don’t come at the beck and call of anyone, or anything. Finally you hear a click and your frozen features begin to relax and with a feeling of a crisis passed you breathe again. The next degree is waiting for the proofs. To your consternation they seem to resemble anyone but yourself. For the first time you realize that you are quite different from your mirrored reflection. Your nose turns up a little, your chin recedes and your ears are too large. Here, yoiir friends come in. You hope they’ll say it’s a poor likeness, but they’re bound to say it’s good, and one will surely say, “How it flatters you!” Oh, hum. You finally compromise and have the least bad one developed. That explains, probably, why some people wait until the last minute before they have their pictures taken. Having given you this deep and humane insight into the tortures of having your photograph taken, we feel that we may fearlessly ask for your friendly perusal and discreet comment of the foregoing. 20 THE ORANGE PEAL SUGGESTED BY NUMBERS 1. Pete Balnis and Bob Smith. 2. A whole lot of couples. How many of them will be one? 3. Miss Schrader’s Virgil class. 4. The time that whisperers are dismissed. 5. The “Bunch” of the Seniors. Do you know them? 6. About the number of people in the Patchogue cheering section. We beat that. 7. When you are supposed to have acquired your use of reason. How many geometry people have ? Ask Mr. Sabine. 8. What Lillian Bennett did to the refreshments. 9. After which we are late. Ask a certain Hist. C student. 10. The age Dodo Fanning acts sometimes. 11. Time all Frosh should be in bed. 12. Time all Seniors go to bed. 13. Issy Eisner was born under that number. He sees “pretty green stars” all the time. That’s why he thinks he’s bright. 14. The room inclosing the lawbreaker (speeder). 15. The age Frenchy claims. 16. Ask the girls. 17. Beginning of “Fool’s Age” in boys. 18. When we ought to graduate. 19. The oldest Senior. Thus ends the important numbers. One Day in Washington 12:00 (a. m. or p. m. ?)—Lights glow brightly through the transoms of rooms enclosing well known Seniors in Washington. Hall cop wonders if these people sleep with their lights on when away from home. Determines to consult the cook as to why they sleep so badly. (Frequent “pops” like corks coming out of bottles, then gurgles, then giggles and quickly squelched explosions, followed by ominous quiet spells.) 12:15 a. m.—Si locked out of his room, patrols the halls in night shirt, vest, high hat and water pitcher. 12:20 a. m.—.Bob has just started an interesting dream about climbing the North Pole after Peter, when he suddenly finds a lump of ice in his bed. Thorough investigation at once begun with much enthusiasm and flying mis- siles. How did it end? ’Nuff said—the hall cop! 12:45 a. m.—Occupants of 345 have an honest-to-goodness panic when a flying ( ?) hits their shade and causes it to fly violently to the top. Imagine the scene brilliantly illuminated with electric lights followed as quickly as possible, however, by total darkness. 1:00 a. m.—359 feels a craving for nourishment, it now being 5 hours since they were fed last. A hasty visit is made to the store on the corner. 1:15 a. m.—Pangs of hunger allayed, all settle down for the night. (Everybody?) 1:25 a. m.—Mickey appears quite worn out after the long walk. (Those trolleys are so slow!) 1:25 a. m.—Dick appears, also exhausted. 2:00 a. m.—Most of us succumb to sleep. 6:00 a. m.—Mr. Sabine makes daily rounds to enlighten us that it’s morning. (We don’t believe it.) THE ORANGE PEAL 21 6:05 a. m.—Groans, wails, groans, wails, groans, etc. 6:30-7:00 a. m.—Slow elevation from reclining to standing posture. 7:15 a. m.—Exhaustive search for meal tickets. Esther, Mickey and Edna finally decide where theirs are. 7:16 a. m.—Seniors take a constitutional down three or four flights of stairs or risk their necks on the elevator. 7:20 a. m.—Mr. Sabine breakfasts with all the girls except a few. 7:20 a. m.—Henry, Si and Dick bribe the waiter for a table next the kitchen door. E., M. and E. appreciate this by smiling broadly at Mr. Sabine. 7:35 a. m.—Waiter is tipped very generously at the boys’ table. Six well-fed individuals arise. 7:37 a. m.—Henry adjourns to his room to write letters (?) or is it to converse with the girls across the hall? 8:30 a. m.—Bus arrives. 8:35 a. m.—Henry tears himself away from writing letters. 8:40-11:30 a. m.—We visit the Mint, where several go insane and have to be led out, the White House, and other points of interest. 11:30 a. m.—Seniors organize for dinner in small, whole numbers. 11:45 a. m.—Mr. Sabine again dines with several young 'ladies. 12:30 p. m.—Gen and Helen buy out Woolworth’s with such great display that all the girls flock there at once. 1:30 p. m.—Bus arrives again. 1:45 p. m.—Reach the limit of our journey on the bus—iboat landing. 1:45-2:05 p. m.—We walk about 100 feet to the boat. 2:05-3:15 p. m.—Seniors make themselves at home, give yells, songs and cheers, and eat. A few descend to the lower deck and try to dance while drinking orange pop. Result—wild dash for the open air, where they remain for the rest of the trip. 3:15 p. m.—We alight, with the idea of calling at Mt. Vernon. 3:30 p. m.—On the spacious lawns we all sit and smile at the “birdie,” except a few who scowl by mistake. 4:15 p. m.—We sail back with the disconcerting knowledge that Bud and Peter are not aboard. 5:00 p. m.—Bud discovered (with Peter) lost in the intricacies of the engine mechanism with Aleith and Helen looking on. 6:00 p. m.—iDinner. 6:30 p. m.—Henry still feels the need of keeping up his correspondence. 6:45 p. m.— Angel’s fur is LOST! With Angel on the point of hysterics it is finally found, wrapped up in her hat (probably so no one else could find it). 7:30 p. m.—We start for the Naval Observatory. 8:00 p. m.—We arrived back where we started from as Mr. Sabine wasn’t very familiar with the streets of Washington. 8:01 p. m.—Start out again with more success. 9:00 p. m.—Seniors are gazing at stars. 9:30 p. m.—'Catherine asks Bud how he liked Saturn but Bud is speech- less. No words in his extensive vocabulary are able to do justice to his feel- ings. 10:00 p. m.—Arrive back at the National Hotel. 10:15 p. m.—Assemble in the Hotel Dancing Hall where the boys display a few new steps. Where in the world did they learn them ? 10:45 p. m.—Toby, Anna and Angel have a regular party. Result—Toby remained in bed next a. m. 12:00 p. m.—Dancing floor cleared. 12:01 a. m.—Occupants of 359 feel starvation slowly creeping in and another trip is made to the corner store, to the evident disapproval of the hall cop. 12:30 a. m.—Thus ends one glorious day in Washington. 22 THE ORANGE PEAL Washington Trip As far back as September, at the opening of school, the Seniors began to look forward to the Washington trip. With the greatest enthusiasm we started forth to procure the necessary “cash.” Candy and “hot dog” sales were the order of the day. Finally, by presenting “A Couple of Million,” ive managed to make “a couple of hundred” more, thanks to the patronage of our friends, the public. Saturday, April 19, was a great day. The majority of the class were up long before six, in order to catch the 7:30 train west. (I think Angel Elliston was up even earlier for she was obliged to mow the lawn before she left.) I will not bore you with a description of Long Island’s wonderful scenery as seen from the L. I. R. R., only I might say that it hasn t changed much in the last 16 years. After Angel Elliston had related to the party the tragic story concerning the death of her last dog, the boys became rather restless so most of us went forward into the smoker, leaving Mr. Sabine with the girls. No, of course we didn’t smoke (?) We watched “Archy” smoke. Just outside of Jamaica, when the train stopped in order to change en- gines, another train, bound east, stopped opposite us and whom should we see but Miss Dessie Cook! We learned later that she spent her vacation in Southampton. Time passed quickly, and soon we arrived in New York. An hour later we found ourselves headed South on the B. 0. The first thing we (the boys, of course) discovered was a “bunch” of girls at one end of the car, so we proceeded to give them a rousing cheer. Later, we found that they were only school teachers. (W'hat a shame!) We made a short stop-over at “Philly,” which we found to be very in- teresting, especially Fairmont Park, which is the largest city park in the country. Bordering upon this park for a few miles is the Schuylkill River, where we saw several rowing shells practising. We also visited Independence Hall, seeing the famous Liberty Bell. At last we arrived in Washington, which we all agree is the finest and most beautiful city that we have ever seen. Unlike most cities, it has no disgusting or disreputable spots where visitors are not wanted. Even the Union R. R. Station, which is larger than the Capitol, is conspicuously beautiful and might even be classed as a work of art. It is made entirely of white granite and its stately arches closely resemble the great triumphal arches of Rome. We were interested to learn that the passenger concourse which we entered upon leaving our train, is the largest room in the world, under one roof. We shall never forget our first impression of Washington as we emerged from the station, just at dusk. A short distance away, rising above a mass of green foliage, was the majestic white dome of the Capitol, upon which hundreds of searchlights were centered. Directly in front of us was the Columbus Memorial and beyond that, as far as the eye could see, at regular intervals, were arc lights whose bright, purplish rays illuminated one of Washington’s broad streets. In the far distance, to the right of the Capitol we saw the Washington Monument towering against the sky and just to the left of that the copper dome of the Congressional Library. During our stay in Washington we saw and visited many stately build- ings, both public and private. It would be difficult to ascertain just what THE ORANGE PEAL 23 was the most interesting object in Washington. “Bud” McAllister, I’m sure, would say the “Electrical Division of the Bureau of Standards,” while “Archy” would undoubtedly maintain that the pool room in the hotel was decidedly more interesting. (However, I am certain that the whole class was greatly impressed with the Lincoln Memorial. Situated high on the bank of the Potomac, this splendid edifice can be seen from one end of the city to the other. And yet, as we approach it and gaze upward at it, how far away does the city seem! A feeling not unlike loneliness comes over us. The beauty of this shrine lies in its simple elegance. As we draw nearer we see through the fluted columns of marble the imposing statue of Abraham Lincoln. Here the very soul of the man seems to find expression. Reverently we remove our hats and awestruck we admire the paintings and the various symbolical emblems. On either side lettered in the stone on the wall, are the two most famous speeches of Lincoln’s, the Second Inaugural and the Gettysburg Address. The memorial is indeed a fitting remembrance for the most loved American, Abi-aham Lincoln. The Class of ’24 feels that the trip to Washington has meant much more to it than a mere vacation. Not only has it been educational but it has also instilled into our hearts a greater love for our country and a desire to make it even better and greater than it now is. Junior Advice There are Rules and Regulations in this school so fine and free And we should all obey them—even you and me. But besides the R. and R. that we’ve mentioned up above, There’s advice that we would give you—as token of our love. Charles Guilloz—(Don’t crack the Juniors up so much—we’re too well ac- quainted with them to believe everything we hear. Edna Elliston—Do be careful what you eat. One of our physicians says that poison ivy isn’t the best diet for a growing girl. Russell Bailey—We advise Si not to get so interested in wild animals such as “Leopards” that he forgets his way about the “Streets” around home. Elizabeth Darby—Don’t treat Warren Smith so badly. It isn’t often that you meet a boy so near your size. James Lynch—We advise Jimmie to flirt less with Maude Burnett and study more out of substantial books—not dime novels. Miss Hudson gets so tired of tearing them up. Bertha Dull—We advise Bertha to take a correspondence course in dancing from Murray. Nellian Youde—To make out a list of the fellows who (she says) call every night, just to satisfy the curiosity of her friends. Elizabeth Jaggar—Don’t study so hard. Roger Stewart—Leave Sag Harbor’s wild women alone. We have plenty in S. H. S. Juanita Ryder—'Let us recommend a book on “How to Dress as a School Girl Should.” Helen Edwards—Get a geometry answer book. They prove useful at times. Isabelle Downey—We advise you to be careful about whispering in certain places. William Platt—Don’t talk to Ansley Elliston so much in Spanish. Fred Norton—The next time you and Charlie Clark go up to Patchogue and give your “Iky and Aby” sketch on Opportunity Night, publish the news. Some of us might like to go and applaud (???) Joseph Fanning—We advise Dodo to publish a book on “Girls and How to Treat Them.” He thinks he knows so much about them. 24 THE ORANGE PEAL Kathryn McAllister—Don’t keep Lester away from baseball practice by talking to him so long after school. It’s not good school spirit. Joseph Phillips—Don’t try to mix history and geometry so much. You might get confused and when Mrs. Sayre asked you about Washington crossing the Delaware, reply that two lines crossed by the same trans- versal make equal angles. Lillian Bennett—If you wish Gene to take along other boys and girls when you go out on a spree, tell the boys beforehand to be subdued and not “tell” you goodnight so passionately in front of Gene. It makes him jealous. Willard French—We advise Willard to exchange a little of his renowned politeness for a little consideration once in a while. “There’s a differ- ence.” Arthur Herbert—We recommend that you get a girl. At your age you shouldn’t be running around loose as you now are. Daisy McLean—Don’t fool with Lester Fanning so much in chemistry. As Miss Tuthill says—just because you’ve an interest in the family is no reason why you should talk to Lester all the time. Eugene Sandford—Don’t get jealous of other boys who talk to “Moses.” She doesn’t mean anything. Mary McGuirk—We see that you’ve been riding in a new runabout lately. We may be curious, but we’d like to know which you like best—the owner or the car? Helen Roche—'Don’t pick such a little boy next time. Get one more your size. Alice Worrell—Walk up from North Sea every day instead of riding. You know what walking is good for. Warren Van Hise—Keep a few more of the dates you make. Eugene Baldwin—Either get a new white sweater or clean the one you now call white ( ?) In general we advise: Dick Fowler—Don’t make the mistake of buying a Ford sedan with a double front seat again. It must be expensive to trade in and get another car with a single seat. Elizabeth White—To time her departure from the school building a little more accurately. It must be exasperating to wait two hours for George and then miss him. Henry Fordham—If you’d cut the cigarettes you might grow to be a regular man—some day. Ruth Raynor—Try and persuade Seaweed Warfield to come back to school. It must be awfully lonesome riding back and forth without him. Helen Schwenk—Leave cosmetics alone until you are better acquainted with their proper usage. Junior Response We, the Juniors, have unanimously decided that it would be MOST presumptuous, MOST indiscriminating, and MOST preposterous of us, to entertain the slightest idea of criticizing the actions of the MOST dignified and MOST worthy Class of ’24. In this MOST humble attitude of mind we have watched for three years the comet course of this class with great wonder and awe; wonder at their juvenile escapades and awe at their ability to escape their just and due desserts issued from Headquarters, the office. As results of their actions both at home and also abroad we should humbly suggest that the Senior Class adopt the following motto, “The Older We Grow, the More Foolish We Become.” THE ORANGE PEAL 25 In regard to the more eccentric members of this MOST renowned dass, we would advise: Skinny, the next time you buy tires for your Ford, purchase the new balloon type so that everything will be in proportion. Bud McAllister, we think you should become a mason, you are so very concrete. Emily, you should write a book. On what topic? Why, “Love’s Labor Lost.” Anna Hayes, we all agree that you should be more silent about this mysterious George of yours, or else some of our S. H. S. flappers may steal away his faithful heart. Archie, you should purchase a book of etiquette so that if you ever go to Washington again, you won’t ask any strange young ladies to dance before being introduced. Beware! Ladies and Gentlemen! Beware! The most flapperish of the flappers, the deepest digger of the gold diggers, the most vampish of the vamps, the queen with the bluest of blue eyes is now capturing the hearts of all the romantic young Seniors. Need one ask who she may be? Why, Helen Bruzdoski, of course! Ansley, you must restrain yourself from attempting the conquest of William Platt. Knowest thou not, Ansley, that the Hill Street boys are un-vampa'ble? Dicky, old boy, we suggest that you wear green neckties, you seem to care so much for the Irish. Toby, there’s one thing we can’t understand. Why is it, whenever anyone speaks of Farmington, everybody always looks at you? Harriet Raynor, just keep on smiling patiently at “Smiles,” so when “Smiles” smiles back, you will smile and say “Yes” and go “Smilin’ Through” life. Ray Greene, we know you are a noisy lad, but please don’t make such a “Howell” about some of the girls. Oh, Lydia dear. We sadly fear, Your color is not youthful. We would suggest, For happiness, A rouge box might be useful. Our advice to Aleith is not to go into the “Old Maid’s Race for Spinster- hood,” someone might Fowler (foul her) and then, what would mother say? We extend our hearty congratulations to Pete Balnis. May he always keep his present ideas of happy life as shown by a snapshot taken on the train returning from Washington. Our advice to Genevieve Roche is to be sure to put on rubbers on Sunday, so that she won’t wear out so many pairs of shoes walking along “Main Street.” Especially dedicated to William Smith: Oh, he is a lad with blonde curly hair, With a voice very meek and low. But when he “strutted his stuff” in Washington, They called him “Sheik of Tuckahoe.” Catherine, you should get a real, big boy, so that when you are out riding up around Patchogue again the cops won’t stop him when he drives with one hand. Harry Frank, you really must cease aspiring to take out certain mem- bers of the S. H. S. faculty. Really, Harry, it isn’t propel-. Wouldn’t we all be happy if Edna Fredericks were as “Witty” in school as she is outside? 26 THE ORANGE PEAL Henry, we are convinced that you ought to become a road commissioner, you seem to be so interested in “Streets.” Mickey, you mustn’t grow restless or impatient for another opportunity to wear a long, white veil as on May Day. Eight years isn’t such an awful long time, after all, Mickey. We know you like baseball, Lester, but we wouldn’t advise you to take it up as a profession, there’s too much “Fanning” in you. Helen “Half-Pint” Halsey, you must grow! Don’t you know that every- one asks for at least a pint, these days? Have you heard of the Seniors’ most unique gold digger? They say true love never runs smooth. We wonder, Esther, if that’s the reason for the many quarrels between you and your latest, most ardent admirer? Class Will We, the Class of ’24 of this so worthy and honorable an institution, the Southampton High School, being on the point of departure from this afore- said edifice of knowledge and understanding and being in our sanest possible mind, feel it our duty and privilege to leave behind us a few tokens of affec- tion for those poor strugglers toward truth and light, who are doomed to remain behind—namely, the Juniors. To CHARLES GUILLOZ we leave a chauffeur and car without interior lights or mirrors (this for comfort, of course) so that Deerfield and Little Fresh Pond won’t seem so far apart. To EDNA ELLISTON, a wider seat in study hall to accommodate more of her friends. To RUSSELL BAILEY, we leave a whole week of dates with Esther without interference from a certain Senior. To NELLI AN YOUDE, a job in the Post Office so she can keep track of her mail (male). To JOSEPH FANNING, a bottle of Scotch, so he can get pepped up to the proper Scotch standard when out with Daisy. To HELEN EDWARDS, a nice trip to Coney Island where she’ll forget all about the fifteen books she studies every night. To JIMMIE LYNCH, a little lady killer so he can capture his elusive heart’s fancy. To WILLARD FRENCH, a thrilling girl so that he won’t have to begin at the very beginning of her education and bring her up the way he thinks proper. To CLIFFORD GREENE, a pair of socks from his brother Raymond so he will have a pair in case of an emergency when Raymond’s gone. To ISABELLE DOWNEY, a working knowledge of chemistry so she’ll know the difference between a “reducing agent” and “fatty foods.” To LILLIAN BENNETT, a cute little choker to make her rousing yells a little more subdued. In short, so she’ll make less noise. To ROGER STEWART, a girl at home (he can’t seem to get one). To BERTHA DULL, a book entitled “How to Learn to Dance in Your Own Room,” including all the new, sensational “struts.” To EUGENE BALDWIN, we leave one of our members to act as an in- termediary between Gene and the teachers, especially Mrs. Sayre, so that next year he won’t feel so abused and will consider taking a little interest in school. THE ORANGE PEAL 27 To WILLIAM PLATT, a book on “Sensational Style in English,” contain- ing beautiful phrases like “in the lap of luxury,” etc. To ELIZABETH JAGGER, a Vergil translation so she’ll be able to trans- late at short notice next year and thus manage to keep Miss Shrader’s good will until she’s safely out of High School. To DAISY McLEAN, a cute little fan because we hear she’s fond of “Fanning.” To JOE PHILLIPS, a few more years’ extension to his ticket in the East Quogue bus. To PEG RYlDER, a larger pair of feet so she’ll have a little better “understanding” in some of her classes. To KATHRli N McALLISTER, a little black dye to quench that fiery symbol. Seniors should be more subdued. To ELIZABETH DARBY, a real picture of Warren Smith. (Note—How did we get it?) To HE'LEN ROCHE, a tape measure so she can measure little Tommy R. from time to time to see if he’s growing any. She can’t get married til) he grows up, naturally. In general: To DICK POWDER—We know you’re roly poly yourself, Dick, so why do you want to change Aleith ? She’s Pohley now. However, we leave you permission. To our beloved Teachers: MISS OWENS, a megaphone to broadcast her orders to all parts of Senior Room and a big stick to enforce them when made. (We’re leaving so we don’t care). MR. AMNER, a pull with the “cops” on this end of the Island so people won’t be able to spoil his reputation by saying he’s getting “fast.” MISS SCHRADER, a real wreath of laurels like the martyrs of old used to wear, because we Seniors feel it more than justified. MISS TUTHILL—If you call your little dog that you love so dearly, “Uzz,” whatever will you call your husband? We suggest that you call him “Huzz,” so he’ll match and feel he’s liked as much as the dog. Also a speedometer so she can slow down to the school children. To MR. SABINE are extended our most sincere thanks and heartiest appreciation for all he has done for us throughout High School and most especially in our Senior year. To iMISS SCHiENKEL, permission from Mr. Sabine to go out with several small boys. MISS HUDSON, a doctor’s certificate. Maybe she’ll get more “patients” (patience). MRS. SAYRE—A little more avoirdupois so that when compelled, as she says, to “sit down on ‘Hist. B’,” they’ll stay down. Never talk about your ancestors. That’s taking unfair advantage of them. They never talked about you. “Let me kiss those tears away, sweetheart,” he asked tenderly. She fell into his arms and he was very busy for a few minutes. But the tears flowed on. “Can nothing stop them?” he asked breathlessly. “No,” she murmured. “It’s hay fever, but go on with the treatment.” 28 THE ORANGE PEAL The Maid and the Middy The annual operetta presented by the students of the Southampton High School was given on January 18th of this year. The success of the operetta was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Ruth A. Jennings, assisted by Mr. H. F. Sabine and Miss Alice L. Hudson. The operetta banquet (given each year as a result of the operetta) was held at the Hampton Manor on March 25th. Everyone had a splendid time, in fact, we believe it was the best and most enjoyable banquet ever held. The cast of the operetta was as follows: BILLY (The Middy attached to “The Dreadnaught”) ..ABNER BENNETT DAWSON (A Retired Farmer) .................... EUGENE BALDWIN THE COUNT (A Spanish Gentleman) ...............HENRY BURNETT EVANS (Master of Ceremonies, Lakeville Boat Club).. RICHARD FOSTER FITZ (Of the House Committee, Lakeville Boat Club)... .HARRY FRANK CAPTAIN DASHER (In Command of “The Dreadnaught”) .......................................

YOUNG MEN—Isador Eisner, Lester Fanning, Henry Fordham, Warren Van Hise, Ernest Youde, Leonard Hawkins, Courtland Smith, Richard Wells. “I’ve been on this train seven years,” said our conductor friend of the Long Island Railroad, proudly. “Is that so,” said Miss Hudson. “Where did you get on?” THE ORANGE PEAL 29 Editor’s Mail Box Dear Editor: Kindly omit my picture as I do not wish to appear among the common herd. Dear Editor: What are you going to say about us? Dear Juniors: Not what we wish. What we would like DICK WELLS. TWENTY-TWO JUNIORS, to say is better left unsaid. Dear Editor: THE EDITOR. Won’t you please give Edna a hard knock? about me. Dear Lillian: She’s been telling tales LILLIAN. We are sincerely sorry but we are unable to comply with your request. We’ve mislaid the hammer. THE KNOCKER. Dear Editor: Beware! If you do not wish to die an ignominous death! Do not under any circumstances destroy my dignity and hurt my feelings in your book. A brick will await you. TRUTHFUL WILLARD. My dear Willard, Thank you for the information. We will soon be making a collection of bricks and intend to build a new gym with those promised. All contributions gratefully accepted. THE EDITOR. Dear Editor: Won’t you say only nice things about me this year and cut out the unkind knocks ? GENE S. Dear Gene: If you’ll please tell us what the nice things are. We can’t seem to find them all. Besides, we don’t want to spoil Class Day. ___________________ ‘ THE EDITOR. Class Prophecy It was a dull, gloomy day in the Cave of the Winds, but the keepers of the “Witches’ Cauldron” felt no chill or depression for it was the day on which they had decided to forecast the fortunes of the Class of ’24, S. H. S. The three witches, Hysteria, Mysteria and Wysteria, huddled around the huge cauldron, filling it with magic herbs while they murmured incantations. 30 THE ORANGE PEAL “Double, double, joy and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. On this night so dark and drear Arise, O Spirits—have no fear. Class of ’24 S. H. S. Has openly to us confessed They would ask the Fates to-night Of their future—dim or bright. So in kettle herbs of Jove, Magic potencies of Love, Herbs of Fame and brews of Wealth, Loyalty and Joy and Health, Boil together well, and wait For the Spirits rising late. Double, double, joy and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” Soon the wondrous brew was finished, and out of the pale light of the fire which glowed fitfully beneath the cauldron, arose a vision—the Spirit of Fame. Slowly murmuring, as if gripped in a trance, she spoke forth the Will of the Fates: “I single out of this noble group a few on which to bestow my favors. One bright young man, Harold Archibald Phillips, shall become the famous senator renowned the length of Layton Avenue for his ability to talk much and do little. Harriet Raynor, because of her speed and accuracy, will soon be known as tennis champion of Wooley Street. Ah, here we see a famous artist—Emily Bishop, known the world over for her marvelous hair-dressing establishment on Fifth Avenue. Next I see Lester Fanning starring as Shylock in the “Merchant of Venice” playing at the North Sea Community House. From her hands, a piano player and composer of future fame and from her Vergilian nose a truly great (?) scholar, Helen McAllister will go far, fast and furious and end her life peacefully with a Baby Grand. And here we see a famous singer? Ah, no, only Harry Frank, renowned agent for Singer Sewing Machines. Wait—covered with much dirt and grime in the dis- tance I see one, overwhelmed by a desire to discover a worse principle than those which tortured him in chemistry, Dick Wells trying to prove how many wells make a river.” As she disappeared, the witches droned on, swaying gently. Then arose another spirit—Wealth. She began speaking and the witches ceased their invocation. “Power and sometimes happiness do I bring and as my honored one I choose that dark specimen of manhood, Peter Balnis. In future years, Peter as owner of a poolroom will gain money, money and more money. But will he keep it? That is not for me to say. I bestow my gifts and leave. Anna Hayes as a prize fight manager will be recognized as “Hearty Hayes,” the wealthiest New Yorker known. Helen Bruzdoski—ah, hers was gained by chance. Playing the races and winning poker games has indeed made her rich. “But there—-I am weary. Enough gifts have I lavished to-day.” The next vision rose quickly, blithely, for was not she the Spirit of Adventure and did not she have the power to bestow the great gift of enjoy- ing life? Merrily rose her voice as she proclaimed: “That genius among you in his attempts to reach Mars and other planets will have adventures which none of you shall know—for he’ll tell them in such technical language that you poor mortals will never “get” the story. His worthy colleague in these adventures will be Genevieve Roche, who as THE ORANGE PEAL 31 a daring lady aeronaut will reach unknown heights. Edna Fredericks as a vampire, disguising herself as a missionary, will meet many a hair-raising ex- perience as she fiercely travels through the jungles of Africa. Henry Bur- nett as a minister, will follow Edna and try to right all the wrong this naughty vamp has done. Here we must pause and mourn, for Boh Smith, connoiseur of feminine charm, wanders the world over and finally loses him- self in an intricate maze of harems. Catherine Corrigan will experience a marvelous thrill as, digging potatoes diligently, she discovers hidden treasure on her farm in Water Mill.” A wedding march! Surely this foretells something of importance. Ah! The Spirit of Love speaks gently: “Esther Street seeks the world over for fortune and returns at last to her early lover, an elderly bachelor now, who has never given up the pursuit of his elusive heart’s fancy—Smith, Smith—'Blacksmith—no, no—Warren Smith. Realizing that Skinny has always been her mother’s girl, I am not surprised to see her still clinging to Ma (Maher). Raymond Green shall win the greatest race of his life, gaining a mighty cheer—oh, no, a little howl (Howell) from the alumni. Ansley, I see a tall fair man (Angel! Who’d ’a thunk it?) But alas, a lass and mo’ lassies come along and out of these, Helen Halsey shall captivate the tall fair one and carry him off in triumph.” Then slowly she vanished, while the witches sat gazing into the fire. Junior-Sensor Debate Contrary to precedent, the Seniors won the annual Junior-Senior debate. The proposition debated was “Resolved, that this Congress should pass the Adjusted Compensation Bill.” The question was defended by the Juniors, represented by Willard French (captain) and Charles Guilloz and opposed by the Seniors, represented by Harry Frank (captain) and Richard Wells. It was a good debate and many consider it better than those of pre- vious years. The Juniors lost, mainly because of their lack of experience (and partly because of their fright for Seniors). Well, better luck next time, Juniors. A Couple of Million On February 21, the Senior Class presented their annual play, entitled, “A Couple of Million.” It didn’t make quite that much for us but we know it was a financial success and we hope and believe it was a dramatic success as well. All the class participated except Harry Frank, who was unfortu- nately obliged to be in the city at that time on account of his eyes. Besides presenting it here, we arranged with the East Hampton Seniors to give it in the Amagansett Community House on a fifty-fifty basis. Ac- cordingly on Saturday, February 23, we journeyed to the Amagansett Com- munity House. Deep gloom and damp rain greeted us there—for the Ama- gansett branch was cut off from the main circuit and there was not a light in the place. That didn’t affect the spirits of the cast, who cheerfully packed up again and took in whatever movie shows, dances, basketball games there happened to be on the (East End of the Island. 32 THE ORANGE PEAL The next Thursday we went “down east” again and this time found lights and a crowded hall. We were assured by our East Hampton friends that the play was just as much of a success there as it was here. The credit for this play, we all agree, is rightfully accorded to Mrs. John Peck, who so kindly and splendidly coached us. Our gratitude is also extended to Mr. Stenson and Miss Shipbanker, who erected and painted the extra scenery. Miss Catherine Corrigan and Miss Aleith Pohley were re- sponsible for the pleasing stage effects. The cast was as follows: BEMIS BENNINGTON .... FAY FAIRBANKS........ NOAH JABB ........... MRS. CLAIRE COURTENAY JEREMIAH WISE ....... GENEVIEVE Me GULLY... .STUBBY BURNS........ SAMMIE BELL PORTER SQUIRE PIPER ........ BEVERLY LOMAN ....... PINK ................ A VILLAGER .......... ....

EMILY BISHOP ..... peter balnis COTTON PICKERS—Helen Halsey, Amanda Ruland, Anna Hayes, Helen Bruzdoski, Ansley Elliston, Genevieve Roche. FREQUENT FRASES OF A FEW Mr. Amner—Yes—yes—oh, yes indeed! Edna F.—Isn’t it fierce? Juanita R.—Er—er—I don’t understand. Harold P.—“Somebody stole my gal.” Nellian Youde—Well, well, well. Mr. Sabine—What’s better than an idea? (No ‘answer) You, dear. Bessie Miller—Now you quit that. Lillian B.—A new boy??? Oh, what’s he like? Miss Tuthill—iNow I want t'his room QUIET. Mickey Me—Without any exaggeration at all YOU make me tired. Lester F.—Has everyone brought his dues? Warren Van Hise—Want a ride? I’m walking. Mrs. Sayre—I’m sorry to have to scold all the time, but—(sniff, sniff) Henry B.—I’m not prepared. Warren Smith—Won’t you go to the show with me? You’re only the seventh gii'l I’ve asked. Dick Foster—Yes, this tie came from Mr. Finchley’s, New York, my own special make. Beezer—-How are you? You’re looking fine! Court S.—Isn’t it disgusting? Esther—Sp! Hsp! Pst! Helen H.—Oh, dear! Skinny—Oh, dear, oh dear, why don’t this car go? Miss Owens—I can’t understand why you can’t keep still when I ask you? iMiss Hudson (to Archie who jumped to his feet when Miss Hudson started to leave the room)—Well, is Mary’s little lamb going to come, too? 33 THE ORANGE PEAL 34 THE ORANGE PEAL THE ORANGE PEAL THE POET POETIZES Oh, what is yonder fuzzy mop A waving in the air? It is the most peculiar sight, I’ve yet seen anywhere! Aha—it moves! Indeed I see! Beneath it is a girl! I thought at first it was the home Of some poor thrifty squirrel! Let’s see, who is she talking to? Oh, yes, it’s Mrs. Sayre! Can’st see the fire in her eye? Blood on the moon! Beware!! Now see the youngster shake her head, And stamp, and wave her hand, Well, yes, I’d gather from her air, She does not understand. But when she wants to dance awhile And some youth says, “Let’s go!” I wonder, does she understand ? Does she? Well, I’ll say so! For I have recognized this girl, And as I stand beside ’er, I toss a wink, and smile a bit, At “always Peggy Ryder.” THE FRO.SH: “Creeping—creeping—creeping— In at her open door, A line of broken-hearted wrecks, They’ll never be happy more. For Caesar is a ghostly brute Who had no heart at all, And Cicero—the crazy chump! He simply makes us crawl! And I’m afraid to go to class, My lesson isn’t done; She sure will lecture me—Oh, well! I’m not the only one!” MISS SCHRADER (September): Oh, now has come another year, When I must toil and fret And teach these stupids “hic-haec-hoc” Tis work will kill me yet! They come in every morning And try to throw a bluff, But when they’re called on to recite— No use! the same old stuff! I’ve tried so hard to make them see This Latin while they’re young; It does no good that I can see, My nerves are all unstrung! 36 THE ORANGE PEAL And when the Regents come along, A few of these, I fear, Will get again a Latin book And stay another year. JUNE: A day of Latin Regents passed, And every face a smile; Miss Schrader paces down the hall, In just the same old style. She doesn’t have to say a word, Each student knows it’s true, She’s worked the hardest of them all, To her the credit’s due. FINIS: Running—Leaping—Jumping!

Balnis—How does that woodenhead get by? Lester F.—Oh, he manages to lumber along. “I can always spot a silk necktie,” remarked Archie as the drop of soup fell. He saw her stepping from a car, And up to her he sped; “May I help you to alight?” “I do not smoke,” she said. Miss iSchrader (disgustedly)—You’re the slowest boy that I have ever seen.

The wife was constantly correcting her husband for alluding to things as “my” son, “my” piano, “my” home. He was duly attentive. As her husband was dressing the next morning, he apparently was unable to find something. “What are you looking for, John?” asked his wife. “I’m looking for our trousers, my dear.” Henry—Why do you say she has the hardest heart of any girl you’ve ever known? Lester—Because it took a diamond ring to make an impression on it. Gene S.—Mother made me sick this morning. She said, “Do you know how many waffles you have eaten already?” I said “No.” and she said This makes the twenty-sixth.” Well it made me so mad I just got up and went to school without any breakfast. 40 THE ORANGE PEAL If you want an ideal scholar, One who works very hard at his task, I’ll bet you a dime to a dollar You’ll find who you want in this class. If you like real humorous people, Who laugh when a joke’s well told, Why turn! Just gaze toward the steeple And look at our faces, behold! If you ask what we think of our High School, Our teachers and principal, too, We’ll say they’re our friends and companions, Who help us in all that we do. Young Lady Doctor—Did that medicine straighten your husband out all right ? Wife—Yes, Doctor Cute E. Killem, we buried him yesterday. Does she eat worms ? Yea, she’s some chicken. UNSETTLED Anxious Old Lady (on river steamer)—I say, my good man, is this boat going up or down? Surly Deckhand—Well, she’s a leaky old tub, ma’am, so I shouldn’t wonder if she was going down. Then again, her boilers ain’t none too good, so she might go up. STOIC INSECT You never hear the bee complain, Nor hear it weep and wail; But if it wish, it can unfold A very painful tail.

ALL AT SEA A girl in a public library inquired if “The Red Boat” was in. ‘T don’t think we have the book,” she was told. “Oh, excuse me,” said the girl. “I made a mistake. The title is ‘The Scarlet Launch.’ ” After a search the library assistant reported that no book with that title was listed in the card catalogue. “But I am sure you have the book,” the girl insisted. Suddenly she opened her handbag and produced a slip of paper on which something was written. Then she blushed. “Oh, I beg your pardon,” she said. “It’s the ‘Ruby Yacht,’ by a man named Omar, I want.” TUNE IN S. H. S. E e e e e e e k—aw--------rrr—“Urn! A—hem—yes! yes! Mr. Amner announcing.

The Triangular Debate between the schools of Southampton, East Hamp- ton and Sag Harbor proved to be a marked success. This will no doubt in- sure its continuance in the years to come. Each school was represented by two teams, one affirmative, the other negative.. The affirmative of each school remained at home to defend the proposition. The negative debated away. The proposition debated this year was: “Resolved, that this Congress should pass the Adjusted Compensation Bill.” The proposition was defended at home by Willard French (captain), William Platt, Henry Burnett and William McAllister (alternate). This team decisively defeated the negative of Sag Harbor. The negative of S. H. S., represented by Richard Wells (captain), Emily Bishop, Lester Fanning and Helen McAllister (alternate), defeated the affirmative of East Hampton. Southampton ranked first, Sag Harbor second and East Hampton third in this debate. (Tune: “California, Here I Come”) Senior Class of ’24, Never one like us before; We’re happy, We’re snappy, Always awake. We’re working, Not shirking, Victory’s at stake. We are the biggest, finest Senior class, None our records shall surpass. Seniors like us nevermore, Senior 'Class of Twenty-four. (Tune: “A Smile Will Go a Long, Long Way”) Seniors true And we are happy, too, Our Senior Class will go a long, long way. Full of pep. We’ve got a dandy rep, The others ask us how we got that way. Senior class Will all the rest surpass, The Class of ’24 is fine we’ll say. Work to do? We just come smiling through, Our Senior class will go a long, long way. May Day was observed with royal display on our campus, May 18. The Queen, Helen McAllister, was attended by her maid of honor, Mildred McAllister, and other attendants, Emily Bishop, Elizabeth White, Helen Scholtz, Helen Schwenk. The crowning, by the president of the Senior class, Henry Burnett, was very impressive. From the throne ana canopied platform the Queen and attendants watched the various dances, drills and Class MAY DAY FESTIVAL 42 THE ORANGE PEAL exercises given for their review. A large crowd of villagers crowded the streets and lawn. William iMcAllister, as court jester, with his clever antics kept the kiddies in ecstacies of delight and amused the older people. A large May pole made a very colorful dance and perhaps was the prettiest thing witnessed. A drizzle of rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of actors or spectators to any great extent. It is hoped that such an observance of May Day will become an established part of our school calendar. Mr. Smith, athletic director, deserves much credit for the splendid festival presented. Athletics Athletics have played a very important part in the Southampton High School. The football, basketball, baseball and track teams have all had very good success. Because of the excellent record shown at the end of the football season, the players were rewarded by a banquet at the Hampton Manor, after which they all went to the movies where fiox seats had been reserved for them. The basketball teams were composed of a first and a second team. The first team was the best that has represented our school since the championship team of 1917-18-19-20. It was composed of Maher, Veeck, Bailey, Guilloz, Fowler. Reinert and Callaghan. Baseball is becoming very popular again in the High Schools of Suffolk County. Two years ago it was very difficult to arrange any games at all but this year the team has a full schedule arranged by their manager, Arthur Herbert. To date of this issue the team has won four out of eight games. The field and track meets have been of much interest to the pupils of the school, also. A triangular meet between Patchogue, Riverhead and Southampton was held at Patchogue on May 17. Riverhead was the victor and Southampton was second. The Interscholastic meet at Huntington between the Nassau and Suffolk County schools resulted in a victory for Huntington with a total of thirty-three points, Riverhead second with eighteen and Southampton third with fifteen. There were fourteen schools contesting for places. At Riverhead the three leading teams tallied with the Hunting- ton meet. At Huntington Raymond Greene won the 440-yard run, breaking his own record of fifty-five seconds established in 1923 and placing the new record of fifty-two seconds for future contenders to break. Charles Guilloz won the 220-yard hurdles. These two will travel to Ithaca to meet the winners in the other sections of New York State. Malcolm Jessup also won third place in the mile run. The Southampton medley relay team was the surprise of the day, not only to the visiting schools but also to the Southampton rooters. With Clifford Greene as the 100-yar-d man, Carl Phillips the 220, Russell Bailey the 440 and Gene Baldwin for the 880, the team won second place. As last man he started off in last place and running his best this season passed his opponents and came in very close to the leading man. Others who established new records, besides Greene in the 440-yard run, follow: Solomon, of Huntington, in the running broad jump made a new record of 20 feet, old record 19 feet 4 inches. Colyer, of Hunting- ton, pole vaulted 10 feet 6 inches; old record 9 feet 6 inches. Creighton, of Riverhea j, put the 12-pound shot 40 feet 8 inches; former record 39 feet 3 inches. Case, of Sayville, in the running high jump rose 5 feet 8 inches; former record 5 feet 4 inches. THE ORANGE PEAL 43 Girls Athletics For the first time in three years, Southampton High School has pro- duced a winning girls’ basketball team. It has the remarkable record of winning every game played before Christmas and of losing every game but one played after. (There must have been too many parties and dances during the vacation.) However, since the ’22 and ’23 teams played through their respective seasons with nary a victory, we’re proud of our five hard- earned triumphs. Elizabeth White as captain and Lillian Bennett as man- ager piloted the team through their successful (?) season. The members of the squad were: Helen Scholtz, Helen Halsey, Elizabeth White, Lillian Bennett, Enda Fredericks, Olive Jacobson, Helen Schwenk and Emily Bishop. The schedule for the season was as follows: Opp. S.H.S. Nov. 9—Mattituck vs. Southampton at Southampton ........ 6 8 Dec. 8—Hampton Bays vs. Southampton at Southampton ..... 2 21 Dec. 12—Bridgehampton vs. Southampton at Southampton .... 10 13 Dec. 14—Mattituck vs. Southampton at Mattituck ......... 4 5 Jan. 11—East Hampton vs. Southampton at Southampton ....11 9 Jan. 18—Hampton Bays vs. Southampton at Hampton Bays.... 2 18 Jan. 25—Westhampton vs. Southampton at Wqsthampton...... 3 11 Feb. 1—Sag Harbor vs. Southampton at Sag Harbor ........26 13 Feb. 15—East Hampton vs. Southampton at Sag Harbor .....12 12 Feb. 26—Sag Harbor vs. Southampton at Southampton ......16 8 Feb. 29—Westhampton vs. Southampton at Southampton .....13 8 Mar. 7—Bridgehampton vs. Southampton at Bridgehampton . . 6 2 The soccer team, of which Eleanor Galow, Kathryn McAllister, Marie Schultz, Helen Schwenk, Mildred McAllister. Aleith Pohley, Helen Schultz, Josephine Barnwell, Edna Elliston, Mabel Overton, Elizabeth Terry, Catherine Aylward, Bessie Miller, Marjorie Brophy, Esther Street, were members, played four games, winning all of them. Opp. S.H.S. Riverhead vs. Southampton at Southampton ............... 0 1 Riverhead vs. Southampton at Riverhead .................. 1 2 Westhampton vs. Southampton at Southampton .............. 0 1 Westhampton vs. Southampton at Westhampton .............. 1 2 It is hoped that next year, the soccer teams will find more competitors awaiting them, there being only three schools on this end of the Island now having teams—Riverhead, Westhampton and Southampton. An interclass girls’ basketball league, similar to the boys’ league, was started, but due to the lack of enthusiasm or material, it turned out to be rather a fizzle. One game was played, the Seniors vs. the Freshmen, from which the Seniors emerged the winners, declaring also that they were champions of the league. Although Mr. Smith had typed a neat schedule and placed it on the bulletin board, no other games were played, so until next year, anyway, the Senior girls hold the championship of the Girls’ Interclass Basketball League of Southampton High School. 44 THE ORANGE PEAL OH, WHAT IS LOVE? LOVE—A strong, complex emotion or feeling, strictly applicable to persons; the yearning or outgoing of the soul toward what is apprehended and regarded as good or excellent from any point of view or in any rela- tion.—Daniel Webster. Love is like the measles. When hit, you forget what ease is. Love is like the mumps, Life from joy to sorrow bumps. Love is like the “flu,” Sometimes you recover And forget you’re a lover, Tho you’re never the same, 'tis true. R. C. SAYRE. Love is a definite article, and yet hard to define. J. DEWEY AMNER. Oh, love is such a strange affair, So strange to all, It cometh from above And lighteth like a dove, On some; But others it never hits, Unless it gives them fits. _ RICHARD B. FOSTER. Love is a snare and a delusion. Love—A piece of dumb foolishness. H. F. SABINE. LESTER FANNING. Love is the deepest of human passions and is manifested in the subject by the desire for its object, which results in the putting forth of the sub- ject’s best efforts and the calling forth of the subject’s highest ideals and which remains undiminished after the object has been attained. william McAllister. Love is a mirage which vanishes when one reaches where one thinks it is. WILLARD FRENCH. (Note—Alas! And he so young in life, too!) Love is that which if it is, it cannot be manifested in the High School. Then where can it be manifested? Love is the breath of life. Love is to me an unknown quantity. Same here. HARRY FRANK. MICKEY. EDNA F. ESTHER STREET. BOB SMITH. Love is that passion which (good beginning for an oration)—I know nothing about it. GERRETTA SKINNER. Now, WHAT IS LOVE?

We have taken our share of knowledge And we’re smart (we know it, too); We are going to enter college, For we need it—ay, we do. We will then have a good preparation For life and its battles, too, For the Seniors of Southampton High School Learrt quickly—ay, they do.
