Music ODDS AND ENDS EDITORIAL Whether one be cognizant or incredulous of verity, the truth remains, immutable and impervious to assaults and vehement questionings of its authority. For, inasmuch as persons do not indulge in the full realization of potent originality, that same power for the conception of thoughts tar removed from the natural and accustomed, does the more make evident its clear and manifest existence. _ . . . Through the divine agency of this rare ability for sensing and eluci- dating the genuine, are inventions perfected; do nations rise; does one create the ineffable sublimity of art and attain to achievement in the fields ot science and of literature. . , The practice and employance of this genial perception tend toward keeness of observation and freedom of thought and action, at least unob- jectionable, if not of actual and positive value. In view of this, henceforth let there be no slavish obedience or prejudiced adherence to the pristine and commonplace, for this, certainly, there is no necessity; from it no value derived. , Original thought and energetic action are the means by which rapid and manifold progress becomes tenable; they are approved of considerate judg- ment and attested by myriad actual demonstrations of their inestimable value and indeterminable worth. , There is a moral degeneracy easily associable with this philosophy ol unrestraint which is to be avoided; restriction and control of character linked with an infinite and diverse variety of mental activity are the ideafs which are to be presented to your consideration. Praise is to be accorded that one who successfully possesses them. However, there is a lasting satisfaction which one acquires in the passionate ardor of pursuing such a course as this. For, to him, the common is criminal and delight lies only in its conversion to the peculiar; the interesting, the artistic. To participate in this is permitted to many, denied to but few. For this sole purpose, artists of the laboratory and of pen and brush have drained the last drop of human existence and have made of themselves a supreme sacrifice to the enjoyment of nations and peoples of approaching ages. Let us therefore snatch this immortal accomplishment and fit and adapt it to our own usage. He who slaves, is free in thought; but he who is free, may be slave in thought. RULIF S. VAN BRUNT SALUTATORY At last we have succeeded in climbing an important step in the stairway of ambition. Wte have completed our high school careers. We are deeply indebted to our principal, our teachers, the Board of Education, our parents and friends for the ideals they have kept before us and for the help and encouragement they have rendered us during our four years of interesting high school work. To all of you, in behalf of the Class of 1927, I extend a heartful welcome. EVELYN MARGARET CORWITH VALEDICTORY Lamentable though it may seem, the character of memory is transient and the voracious facility with which oblivion engulfs is evident and un- deniable. We ourselves, the class of 1927, will have further cause of credu- lity and more certain probation of this principle upon subsequent visitation ODDS AND ENDS of these accustomed halls and through a mature consideration of precedent and example. However, regret is vain; therefore is it the policy of wisdom and the part of courage to relegate such melancholy to fitting and appropriate forgetfulness and to concentrate the faculties and attentions toward that future, concerning which we ponder with ardent hope and pleasant antici- pation. Appreciation and laud are to be accorded our principal and faculty, to whose kindly benevolence and amicable enthusiasm may be ascribed what- ever achievements we have attained. Thanks are particularly and specifi- cally due to those friends and townspeople to whose generous support we must attribute the success of our various and’ diverse financial ventures; and to the Board of Education, which has aided in counsel and supervision of our endeavors; and to our fellow students for their sympathetic harmo- ny of cooperation. And so, with enthusiastic interest in the approaching succession of events and with grateful appreciation of those who have facilitated our educational development we bid you all an affectionate farewell. RULIF S. VAN BRUNT SENIOR ADVICE Aroused by the fervid effusions of your wild depravity, we carefully and assiduously inquired and examined into the nature of that grievous malady to whose tremors and violent terrors you had apparently become victims. And lo, to our amazed horror we, distinguished in the elements of most piti- able levity of character, of mental incom'pacibity, and insane revelry. In the revulsion of our delicate� and sensitive feeling—was attuned to the perception of artistic sentiment_from this drunk, tragic portrayal of human decline and ablivious, in the heated ardor of our indignation we have well nigh snatched from you the blessed cup of our admonition Juniors, cravens, vile and dispicable scum of the earth, instigators of all crimes, most ghastly example of ignorance, we assure you of our abundant capa- city and eminent capability to instruct and counsel your rapt and apprecia- tive attention to the dispersion of our knowledge. CLIFFORD ALDRIDGE. We advise Apple, to take up music. He is do- ing well as a second fiddle now. FENTON CRUTCHLY. Ruby Lips, we would advise that the next time you go to a prom at S.U.S. You leave your chewing gum at home. Although it, might be permissable at Junior Prom it is not good etiquette in the eyes of Miss Hudson. (iUS MINNE. Gus, we advise you to get a girl of your own so you wont have to consult Bud Youde every time you want to go to Bonac. CHARLIE SCHWARTZ. Gabie. we advise you either to increase your shaving schedule or else join the House of David. FOSTER WELLS. Mammal, we advise you to try and overcome your bashfulness. Remember, Wells, faint heart never won fair lady. BOB LIND. We advise you, Bob, to purchase a few more volumes on the science of baseball so you’ll be able to break into the big leagues soon. T ALICE DRUMM. Why don’t you give the local shieks a chance. Sag Harbor is all right but we’re not conceited. EVA CULVER. To use a worthy senior’s words, “Keep your voice down.” You disturb your fellow classmates. HALSEY HOWELL. We advise you very wisely, Pete, leave all Col- leges alone until you leave High School. MILDRED GODBEE. Take our advise and join Mr. Stenson’s classes so you can help Jones build the love nest. ODDS AND ENDS ELIZABETH COLLEDGE. Betty, we advise you to find brother Archie a girl to make the party complete. HENRY BALNIS. Hen, your black shirts are very stunning. e advise you to continue wearing them; the future Mrs. Balnis will appreciate oui economy. “CHICK” ELLISTON. We must give “Chick” credit; she sure knows her groceries. But be careful Chick Albert does too. JOHN WARD. The little Giant, the would be Tilden. We wish you would grow a little, John, so that some of the worthy seniors won t walk on you. CONSTANCE LISBON. If you don’t watch your step Connie, your flirtations will charm all the Bridgehampton lads and there 11 be many an anxious mother awaiting the return of her stray boy. VIOI A HERMAN. Drop the old fashioned idea of walking for Sun- day dates—use the telephone its more modern. VIRGINIA HERMAN. We readilya dvise you to continue your violin lessons—you certainly need them. ROSEMARY LOADER. Since you put your hair up, Rosemary, I guess mama better watch her angel child. DOT DREW. We advise Dot to make dates with Albert when Midge isn’t home so he won’t want to entertain the family. DOT MORRIS. We advise Dot to get a transfer to Riverhead high school for convenience and economy ANITA CRIPPEN. We advise Anita to adont some of her brother’s Athletic ability—you have the build (builds) Anita. GEORGE BUCKHEIT. We advise George to get a girl because a car and an athlete should be the answer to any maiden’s prayer. LAURA CALLAHAM. We advise Laura to send away for the reducing recoi'ds, you might find use for them. BILLY CHEESNICK. We ad ise you not to study so hard we fear it is stumoing your growth, Little Boy. HELEN KOSKI. We advise Helen to be more serious so that you’ll be worthy of the dignity of a Senior. “MIKE” MICAkI. We advise Mike to think less of “girls” AND base- ball while in classes—red marks are attractive but they don’t make a base- ball player. MAY MOORE. We advise May to grow a bit if sne expects to be recognized as a senior—you might get lest in the flock of incoming freshies and who would ever recognize you as a dignified Senior. UH'AKLIE PAVELEC. We advise Charlie to get rid of that adorable smile and purchase a real cne. . Fi ANK PHILIPS. We advise Frankie to go and take a peek inside a real barber shop—just once your father needs a rest. CLAUDE SANFORD. Kyke— Don’t leave Miss Blythe any ice this summer. We have observed that it affects the freezing tone of her words. ELEANOR SCHOLTZ. Just because Watermill is so secluded why be so secluded yourself Budgie? We advise you to start something in the old town, say a dance in the village Green, we know those Watermill shieks just couldn’t resist you Budge—“Rey just haven’t had a chance to know what an opportunity is within their grasp. ETTA WHITNEY. We advise Etta to find a nice young, man who can play a piano because we just know that you two could get along famously —a piano and cornet are so soothing to the car. Just try it and see. ODDS AND ENDS JUNIOR RESPONSE We, the unworthy Juniors, have unanimously decided how utterly im- possible it is for us to understand the actions of the dignified Seniors of this year’s class. However, capable as we are, we have come to the conclu- sion now, after studying their many peculiar, interesting and preposterous undertakings that the Seniors need such advice as will tend to benefit their most humble gathering. And thus we spread our trusty advice to each and every one of these peculiar beings. ELBERT ROBINSON. As a “peanut” your aj peach. As a “violinist” you’re a wow. But we solemnly advise you to keep away from Hempstead now. SARA MCALLISTER. Sara has the bad habit of leaving “death” from Patrick Henry’s speech and expressing in a lovable way “Give me Liberty”. BESSIE MILLER. A type of Scotch who w'ould spend a dime to have our Oh! Henry. We know “Beth” is Scotch but when, it comes to buying grape juice she sure is a spendthrift. HENRY FORDHAM. Seeing he prefers the open air and that the damp sea air is said to be unhealthy on cool nights we wonder if “Hen” is not well enough informed to know that there is now on the market just the car for such occasions as afford themselves after Senior Play practice, a converta- ble coupe which the girl friend would enjoy. THE FLAPPERS! butter and egg man. The well known coiTespondent in many famous divorce cases. A modern Romeo to whom the famous “Pas- sion” song as dedicated. We introduce to you the one and only of this spe- cies—CLARENCE PHILLIPS. DUTCH PHILLIPS. Could it be possible that Dutch is trying to im- prove his style of running so that if Paul has to break a date some time it won’t be such a long distance to Bonac. ALBERT GRIFFIN. When you leave school we suggest that you go to IHbllywood and just as a sideline set up a business such as Audre Ani has. He deals in wardrobes and your form will come in handy to you FRANCIS JESSUP. We advise you to take up a course in an interna- tional corresponding school specializing in Arithmetic. They say the world is full of funny figures. EDDIE McGUIRK. Eddie we would advise you to look out for those Riverhsad girls. We know now why you are always singing that song “Where do you work, Marie?” “In the Telephone Company.” If she’s one of those night operators beware, Eddie, beware. BOB LIPPMAN. Bob, we advise you to make a little more noise in school. You don’t make enough. Ask the teachers they know. We also ad- vise you to look for a new car because going to Hempstead to see your girl every week end sure is a wear and tear on your puddle jumper and it is certainly a rough ride for the sheba, anyway you look at it. EVELYN CORWITH. We suggest that “Monk go to Cornell where her darling Bobby is going so that he will not succumb to the charms of other beauties. ANNA DARBY. Wanted a husband, to keep her away from the High- lights of LSbertv. ELIZABETH TERRY. A pair of roller skates so that she can go faster. ARAMINTA 'HILDRETH. We wonder what “horse” Mint is betting on at the “Mardi Gras” race track. Why Washington’s of course. MIDGE DREW. “Misery’.’ always did and always will believe that old saying “Variety is the Spice of Life.” She has a different beau for each sport and a different line for each one. Misery enjoys company. In this “Old Womans” sense of humor it’s the “Man who Pays,” But what a solemn heartbreaking expression comes over her face as she hums her favorite song: ODDS AND ENDS Oh! Where Oh! Where has my Bowser gone Oh! Where Oh! Where can he be. He’s been away so long, so long. Will he ever come back to me? P. S. Perhaps when roses grow on Lilac trees. HULLA FRANKENBACH. We congratulate you, fairest and modest little “Sparrow,” on your success so far in your endurance race with the boy friend. Lots of luck for the future and may your home be a happy one. HELEN SCHWENK. We enjoyed hearing “Steaky talk about aow nice the liberty fellows were and how glad she was to be back to her History again. Can you imagine “Hefty” not talking? “Hel” did have a tendency to desire the love of more than one and to have more than one date a night but now that she is a senior and considers herself much older she has given up these thoughts and is writing a book entitled “How to Make Love tor the benefit of Bob Peck and “Passion” Phillips. , RULIF VAN BRUNT. We advise this brainy individual to pick tor himself, a blonde or brunette which ever he desires and venture down to “Lover’s Hop” some night so as to get his mind off his studies for a change. Remember, Rulif, a thought killed a man once. . _ „ CAROLINE WILDE. Tony seems to think “life is just a path of Roses by the times he takes in getting to her class after gym. She’s sure fast when she takes it in her mind to be, but we think she either has spring fever or else she’s dreaming about the “Bunny” who didn’t come on Eastei. LETTY WOOD. Well well Blondes or Brunettes? Seems to us that someone prefers a nice quiet sedate blonde. Now Letty we adivse you to beware of the high Spots and to get in at ten sharp, every night so as not to lose your beauty sleep. . ., JULIA SAKOWICZ. A girl with high ideals such as regular on the basketball team and a nice tall blonde, with blue eyes. BEATRICE LINDBERG. Beatrice’s a thriving blonde, looking forward to the day she graduates and goes out into this, wide world with the fa- mous title of “Heart Breaker attached to her. ALBERTA ASHMAN. A very quiet individual who loves to whistle and sing to herself while trying to get “Cicero” by the neck. MARJORIE BUNN. A story rival of the powerful Katinka. A girl who is studying very hard to win for herself the honor of being the only one to say “Peter Piper” without stuttering. CLARKE SMITH. To this bright young heartbreaker we advise a portable carriage for an emergency in case “Sciueak” should get tired of walking. As usual he’s up to his old trick of robbing the cradle. RUTH RAYNOR. We advise you to be very careful and not lose your heart as you have your voice. We understand you are interested in a certain dark young man, who drives a “Star” Don’t fall too hard Ruthie. CLASS WILL The members of the Class of 1927 do hereby make their last will and testament, all phases of which they request be carried out with due respect and deliberation, always mindful of the class who toiled faithfully that the fruits of their labors might be impartially divided among you. We, possessing at this time minds stored with the riches of wisdom, memories which recall perfectly when some of you were fresh little greenies and hearts that bear you no malice, do hereby bequeath to:- CLIFFORD ALDRIDGE—A sum of money for playing baseball so that you can turn “Pro”. MIKE MICARI—A book entitled “Women I have known”. DOT MORRIS—We certainly are glad to see Dorothy with her golden tresseq pinned upward but in case you should run out of hairpins again kindly take this package for emergency. ODDS AND ENDS DOT DREW—We know it’s mean that sisters have to be in the class with “your” boy friend but never mind, Dot, Marjorie really took awfully good care of him; in fact, we hardly saw them apart once while we were away. However, accept this little piece of rope to be sure he’s firmly “tied” while in Southampton. JAMES ROBINSON—We really don’t know why you went south, Jim. Could it have been to gather more sunshine? If so please accept this little watering can and sprinkle some along the path of some one of our fair “misses”. We know it wouldn’t be in vain. ALICE DRUMM—To Alice we leave a file so that she may file all those letters that she gets so that she and Phyllis can have an easier way of talk- ing and arguing over who has received the more. FOSTER WELLS—To Foster we leave a very attractive young lady. We really do admire your haughtiness but have you never considered the thrill you are depriving some young lady of by being so “exclusive” and “distant”? CATHERINE ELLISTON—A loyal Junior, a most loyal one, may we present you with an electric dishwasher then the next time you are the only Junior who shows up to wash dishes after a Prom you can make more progress. FRANK PHILLIPS—A hook on “How to behave oneself while at Wash- ington” so you won’t be cutting up any such capers as Clarence and have to spend your time in bed as a result of “eating your breakfast too fast”. ROSEMARY LOADER—We admire your sweet shy and girlish effect Rosemary but why not try a little foolishness like the rest. So here’s a book entitled “The Modern Flapper”. HENRY BALNIS—A white shirt to wear on Sunday. ELIZABETH COLLEDGE—A girl for your brother to make the party complete. ANITA CRIPPEN—A car so that you won’t have to walk around the beach on Sunday. FENTON CRUTCHLEY—A scholarship for a girls’ school. EVA CULVER—Some golf sticks so that some day you may become a professional. MILDRED GODBEE—A few carpenter’s tools so that you can help Jones. HALSEY HOWELL—A little courage so that next year you will be able to talk up to Miss Blythe. CONISTANCE LISBON—A pair of red stockings to match your coat. MAY MOORE—A Virgil Pony so that you won’t have to work so hard next year. JOHN WARDE—A little more heighth so that you won’t disgrace the Senior Class next year. LAURA CALLAGHAN—A muffler so that while attending the movies you won’t disturb “Dutch” Wickapogue’s faithful movie attendant with your continuous chatter. BILLY CHEESNICK—We will you Griffin’s Patented Line, including his walk, conversation and that soulful expression. GEORGE BUCHHEIT—To George we give a thorough knowledge of American history so that he may enjoy a pleasurable year with our amni- gerent and omniscient professor, Mr. R. Carlton Steinmetz. VIRGINIA HERMAN—A book on “The Appreciation of Black Shirts”. VIOLA HERMAN—A steady beau in S. H. S. HELEN KOSKI—A yard more material so that you may lengthen your skirts. BOB LIND—The philosophy of love on which you may ponder on your many and diverse travels. Note well and take action. LILLIAN STRONG—A deed for a permanent home in Bridgehampton so that you may be near your friends and Claire. ODDS AND ENDS D ISY PILCHER—A book on how to shorten your strides VIOLA MACK—A of attraction for Arthur, our noted athlete. GUSTAV MINNE—Some writing paper so that you may continue to you may entice the opposite LEE ALLEN—To Lee we give a hairnet to confine the gentle wav g °f HA-RLIE1 SCHWARTZ—A peach basket for next ELEANOR SGHOLTZ—Another course in history so that you can enjoy nnntVipr vear with our beloved Mr. Steinmetz. . HARRY LILLYWHITE—A hair ribbon to control your superfluous hair. The wilds of Mt. Hermon might justify it—Southampton emphatically nug n0t CHARLES PAVELAC________An iron mask for the correction of that diabol- ical grin,—it arouses Miss Schrader to anger. Now a little attention to our infallible and divinely inspired Faculty: To MR SABINE, we leave the incaleuably difficulty task of Endeavoring to train and educate those photoplasmic insignificances, the Juniors, to our high standard of m'orality and intuitive perception of artistic se £iment To MISS HUDSON, we bestow a vacuum cleaner to pick up the papers in study hall—never mind if you do catch a few freshmen once in a while. To MISS BLYTHE—a file to dull and relieve the sharpness of her tongue. MISS BAKER, a steam-rug to keep you warm on deck. MISS SCHRADER, a Caesar Pony. Although we hesitate in the accusa- tion we find that your translations are becoming more and more vague, your syntax less definite, so for the facilitation of your future work in this High School we present this most appropriate gift. ,. MISS COLEMAN, A mixture for the remedy and alleviation oi distor- tions of that diabolical arrangement called the stomach—seasickness. MR. BAXTER, “The Man from Maine”—a high chair so that he can keep careful vigilance over all his students. , MR. SMITH, a book of diets. The wife must be feeding you well, Coach. MR. STEINMETZ, we give a supply of neckties for the use of incoming freshmen who have not been initiated into and are as yet unaware of this needless and senseless regulation. Besidys this supply, we give one large red necktie for personal use as a danger signal to denote rising anger and distemner. ,. , , , MISS GRAY, A can-opener, one of the essentials of a modern home. MISS McNAMARA, a cake of soap so that you may keep that school- girl complexion. CLASS PROPHECY It was a delightful summer afternoon at the magnificent summer resort of Montauk. I was walking along Long Island Avenue, looking at the sky- scrapers as they towered up into the azure sky. I came to the corner and 1 noticed a very strange happening. Two men, having passed each other, looked back and expressed their recognition by a fond handshake and I over- heard the ensuing conversation. Eddie—Hello, Bob. Gee, it’s good to see you again after all these years. How have you been? . Bob—Fine. You’re looking rather well yourself. You know, I was just wishing I’d see someone of my old classmates of S.H.S. and here you come along. What have you been doing for the last 15 years ? Eddie—Well, after graduating from Notre Dame as an electrical engi- neer, I played baseball for the N. Y. Hankees for seven years and now I own the electrical plant that supplies this city. I am hanpily married 'to a Liberty girl and have two children. What have you been doing? ODDS AND ENDS “A meek, mild maiden, Jolly and little Who plinks away On her time worn old fiddle.” ALBERTA JOHNSON ASHMAN (Alias, “Buckeye,” “Bud”) A queer miss is she, one day brimming over with laughter, the next she is gloomy and sad, but putting all aside, as a rule she is a jolly, good sport. Four year, S. H. S. “She does her duty and does it well” MARJORIE JEANNETTE BUNN She is noted especially for her strong personality and one look at her will con- vince you of the fact. Marjorie also has a cheerful disposition and more than once during a period, her laughter can be heard above the rest of the class. Parrish Speaking Contest ’26. ODDS AND ENDS “Talkativeness produces many disasters, but in silence there is safety.” EVELYN MARGARET CORWITH (“Monk” or Ev) Evelyn Corwith, some times known as “Monk,” is one of the most dependable and reliable supporters of the class of ’27. She has worked hard and may be called a “go-getter” for the class. There is nothing pretentious about her. Her air is that of a simple, good natured, well be- haved girl. Here’s to the success of “Monk.” Operetta ’26, Operetta ’27. “Peace is always beautiful” ANNA CATHERINE DARBY (“Ann”) The girl with the big blue eyes. Just gaze at her. Who could be more charming than Anna? If everyone had Anna’s deter- mination and studious nature there would be some bright people in this world. She has that affable nature that goes well in any crowd. Good luck Anna! Track Team ’27, Operetta ’27. ODDS AND ENDS “It is a world of startling possibilities” HELEN BARBARA DIX Helen is that quiet type but “Still Water Runs Deep” so the saying goes and in this case that is truer than ever. Helen is “right there” when there’s any excitement and has proved an all around sport. She seems to be the type that appeals to the opposite sex and has proved an addition to our class. Bon voyage, Helen! Fours years in S. H. S. “Does she love me or does she not” MARJORIE ELIZABETH DREW (“Midge”—Marge) “Midge,” sometimes “Marge” by a Master Mind of the faculty, although she hasn’t taken any active part in athletics, has done her share in other school activ- ities as Vice President of our class. Midge is a worthy friend to have and a friend we all appreciate. Our Vice President is one who absorbs a great deal of kidding and teasing and as a result has become a favorite among her classmates. We rank er among the first in line to extend i heartiest wishes for her success. Vice President Senior Class, Assistant Business Manager of Class Book ’27. ODDS AND ENDS HENRY FORDHAM There reposes within him an intangible sense of the moral, of the rational and of the sublime; for he has achieved the divine attainment of profound and continued thought. However, he is in like manner marked by an unreserved originality which displays itself in excursions and deviations from the natural and regular course of human expectation and in ventures among unfrequented l-egions of argumentative and philosophical creation. To the whole has been added a refinement of taste and an incredible appreciation of musical tal- ent such as can alone rise from a worthy character and an undeniable fortitude of nature, both physical and moral. Henry is a man whom we are proud to have known; rejoiced to have been afforded an oppor- tunity for the expression of our friendship. “Good things come in little packages” HELEN THERESA FRANKENBACH (“Hulla,” “Baby,” “Sparrow”) A good sport, a conscientious student, and a basket-ball player of no mean skill is Hulla. She makes friends readily and holds them easily. Hulla is a good com- rade to those who are fortunate enough to secure her friendship, and we are very confident that she has success awaiting her. Basket-ball ’25, ’26, ’27; Captain Basket- ball Team ’27; Soccer ’24, 25, ’26; Operetta ’24, ’25; Red and White Staff ’26. ODDS AND ENDS “Of better men there are, but few” ALBERT THOMAS GRIFFIN Albert more commonly known as “AT” or “Bert” is a good example of an “all around good scout.” Cheerful, good natured and a hard worker is “Al,” a worthwhile asset to our class of ’27. Ah, but friends, Albert also has his failings, he is subject to the endearing charms of the opposite sex. Albert might be compared to a good declarative, always demands a “dot.” With all your qualities, Al, you should find suc- cess no matter where you search. So here’s wishing you the best of luck wherever you go. Manager Football Team '26; Secretary and Treasurer, Sophomore Class; Vice-Pres- dent Junior Class; Basket-ball '26, ’27- Parrish Speaking Contest ’27. “Beauty hath Charms” ARAMINTA HILDRETH (“Mint,” “Spud” or “Gasoline Gus”) The girl who can handle a tennis racquet. When a fellow needs a friend “Mint” is always on the job. She is always cheerful and we are sure she will spread joy and brightness wherever she goes. Basket-ball '23, ’24; Soccer ’25, ’26; Girls’ Singles Tennis Champ ’27. ODDS AND ENDS FRANCIS JESSUP His is a nature desirous of leisure and the many vai'ied enjoyments which it be- stows, yet one l'emarks in him a certain capability for studious effort and worthy attainment; he unwittingly betrays in un- conscious actio n and in disguised glimmer- ings an ability which one had not thought his. For he is versed in science and pos- sesses an intelligent and acquisitive intel- lect,—albeit perhaps too indolent for its best interests. A rare humor and cynical indifference we must alike applaud and lament and to annotations of his keen perception and ob- servant vigil we acquiesce. Let all there- fore join in good luck to “Fritz,” waes hail, old friend. Operetta ’25, Football ’26. “Life is short, Art is long” BEATRICE LINDBERG (“Bee”) Happy go lucky “Bee” always buzzing around. No one could be a better sport than she. We wish you the best of success in future life. Soccer ’25, ’26, 2nd Prize D. A. R. Es- say ’26; 1 year Erasmus Hall, Brooklyn, 3 years at Southampton High. ODDS AND ENDS “I came, I saw, I conquered” ROBERT LIPPMAN (“Bob”) Robert Garrett Lippman, whose main object in life seems to be to have a good time, which he usually succeeds in doing. Full of fun and deviltry, this cut-up spends most of his time getting into scrapes and then getting into them again. He worries about nothing and is usually very much of an optimist and a good time was had by all.

She always has a good time wherever she goes as proven by the Washington trip. She has a host of qualities that make her a favorite; among these are adaptability, sense of humor and cheerfulness. We hope her natural fun- loving and sunny disposition will win her a host of genuine friends in the years to come rnd may she succeed in whatever she undertakes in life as well as she has in S. H. S. High School Orchestra ’25, ’26, ’27. ODDS AND ENDS “Wine, women and song” EDWARD THOMAS JOSEPH McGUIRK (“Eddie”______________“Irishman”) After spending two years at St. Charles, Eddie decided to honor S. H. S. with his pi’esence for the remaining part of his high school course. Unlike his name, Eddie is a short light fellow, with excellent athletic ability. He is the leader of the class in that line and only his calm indifference hinders him from being an excellent student. He made the trip to Buffalo and furnished the rest of the team with amusement by his super- ior ability to use a telephone. As captain of the baseball team he is worthy of the most hearty congratulations for its success. We wish him the best of success and when we hear some one say “Ireland Forever” we’ll know our wishes have come true. At St. Charles ______ Baseball, ’24, ’25; Basket-ball, ’24, ’25. At S. H.

A good friend to those who share her friendship but a mystery to those who do not “know” her. There is yet anothe'r mystery to her credit—her interests. We can’t figure out why while most of us are striving toward the top of the social ladder she should be striving toward politi- cal heights and choose “a president” for an associate, friend and legal? advisor. Never mind, Bessie, we recognize the presence of much “gray matter” and wish you all the luck in the world and know , ou’ll rea h whatever heights you strive for.

ODDS AND ENDS Her gesture, motion and her smiles, Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles.” ADELINE OLGA OSWICK Among the many friends brought within the range of a character analysis none other strikes a more responsive chord in the understanding and the hearts of all with whom she comes in contact than this conscientious little friend, charming, thru hei possession of a graceful and persuasive disposition. However vivid our conception, however fervent our devotion, we cannot hnd praise adequate enough to do her jus- tice. Her tender smiles depict to us a fidel- ity of mind and spirit. Her sincerity dissem- mates far and wide the seeds of admiration for she wears the semblance of profound loyalty. We might say she possesses an entire command of wit. In conversation her judicious insertion of a happy phrase spares the cost of clumsy monotony, so evident in her absence from our group.

ODDS AND ENDS CLARENCE PHILLIPS He is vigorous and conscientious; a man of religious morality and scrupulous integ- rity. Indeed, the simplicity and unaffected perseverance of Clarence are chiefly res- ponsible for whatever charm he may pos- sess. He has demonstrated the possession of a willing and generous nature by multi- farious proffering of aid and through trie kindly benevolence of counsel. Clarence is one whom all have known, a personage blessed with a multitude of acquaintances. Here’s good luck to a student and a man of endeavor. “In quiet she reposes; Ah, would that I did too.” RUTH ADELE RAYNOR (“Queenie”) Since we’ve known Ruthie there has been no time when she has been disagreeable to anyone. Always smiling and happy with a cheery “hello” for everyone she has gone her way working diligently and proving a “good all around gal.” Operetta ’26, 1st prize W. C. T. U. Essay ’25. ODDS AND ENDS “Of wine, women and song, I prefer song ELBERT WELLS ROBINSON (“Peanut”) Here is our dear friend, better known as “Peanut.’ He is ever cheerful, funny and frolicsome, in fact he is sometimes the life of the party. “Peanut” in his early ige was exposed to the wiles of music and now has addicted to himself a charm of violin playing seldom ever heard. “Pea- nut ’ so I am told, visits Hempstead quite frequently and has like Heinz’s pickle motto “57 varieties.” Although “Peanut” is not athletically inclined, he is quite stud- ious and is far from reticent in his studies. “Peanut” is a fellow we’ll miss and al- though he is small, “ Great Gifts come m Little Packages.” Good luck, Peanut—you brute.

Her smiling face will long be remembered in the “quiet” halls of S. H. S. We all wish her the best of success in her life’s chosen career. Basket-ball ’25, ’26; Soccer ’25, ’26. ODDS AND ENDS “To do two things at once is to do neither.” HELEN EDITH SCHWENK (Better known as “Hel”) Has won a place in the hearts of all her classmates. Her sunny smile and pleasing disposition are never wanting. She is ever ready to take her part in our activities whether it be work or play. However, par- ticipating in our social activities does not interfere with her studies. She is even so greatly interested in her school work that she can be found continuously in the pres- ence of a certain professor, “Pro” for short. Good luck, Hel, we know that you will make friends and success wherever you go, but please don’t forget to keep a place in your heart and mind for your old class mates.

But perhaps his humor is that by which we will recall him with the greatest ease, for he was a partici- pant, nay, often the instigator of innum- erable incidents uniquely comic. His is a nature free, bold, logical, natural and ori- ginal. Had his impetuous energy been de- voted to the serious consideration of pro- found study, what might have been the result? However, forgetful of his various and peculiar escapades and oblivious to the pointing finger of criticism, we commend his work and affirm the pleasure we derive from his association and friendship.

He is a good worker, has an even dispos- tion, is our valedictorian which proves that he is an excellent student and is lik- able in all other respects. Incidentally he is editor of this chronicle of senior activ- ities and slams at the rest of the school. Rulif is not easily aroused to anything. The fire of his mind is like coals, very steadily burning. But, when that fire is fanned to a flame by a lively interest, it bums at a white heat and no obstacles, no matter how large or how insurmountable they may appear or how imposing they may be in their outward aspect, can stop this boy if the goal is of considerable largeness and importance. The complicated problem be- comes of superficial import and is readily solved. Thus will it be throughout his life and we can but wish him every success.

She takes a great interest in athletics and athletes. But, sad to relate, she has a failing, a bad temper.

She hails from Wickapogue and seems to be as model a student as it is possible or a Senior to be. She is a warm-hearted impulsive girl with much decision of char- a? -?r. She is always cheerful and we are sure that she will spread joy wherever she goes. She has much self-reliance in 'lrHt’on to a winning personality. But Letty has one failing, her indifference to masculine gender. She has much ability and we all extend our best wishes for her future career. Basket-ball Team ’25. ODDS AND ENDS Bob—After leaving Cornell, I finished at Yale Medical School and became an M.D. After a delicate brain operation, in which I converted a moron into a genius my fortune was made so now I am traveling with my wife, who was a girl from Ohio, you know, and my children. Eddie—Have you seen any of our old classmates lately? Bob—I saw Midge Drew about three months ago in a steamship office. You know she’s been married three times. First to a sailor whom she killed by nagging at him, then to a marine, whom she divorced and now to a ship- owner. She always did like the sea and those pertaining to it. Eddie—That reminds me. I saw Tub Terry about a year ago. She’s the college widow at Harvard. We had quite a talk. Francis Jessup was the engineer on the New Century Limited and boy! how he wheeled her; about 160 miles per hour. He always was a speed maniac. Bob—I saw Albert Griffin. He moved to New York and is running a beauty parlor on Fifth Avenue under the name of Madam Peggy. Eddie—Yes, that’s the place for him. I met Hulla Frankenbach on Broadway some time ago. She is married to a big laundryman in New York and they are quite happy. I heard Dutch Phillips the other night when I was up to Hulla’s. He is a radio announcer in station B.L.A.H. He’s got the voice for it. Hie told me all about the new aeroplane that Rulif Van Brunt designed, guaranteed to do 486.2 miles per hour. Hulla told me that he is married to Evelyn Corwith but Evelyn’s beginning to get her second childhood now. Bob—Ruth Raynor is a cloak model in Baumgarbner’s, the largest and most exclusive ladies’ clothiers in New York City. I saw her when I took my wife there and you’d never in the world guess what Passion Phillips is doing. He’s dean of a girls’ college in Chicago and they just adore him. I was out there a year ago. Eddie—I hear Sara McAllister is married to a Liberty fellow and now owns the biggest summer hotel up there. Bob—Clarence told me that Beatrice Lindberg is studying singing in Spain and is going to get in high opera. Eddie—I met Clarke Smith at a business meeting in New York. He is a big contractor in San Francisco. He built a 247 story office building there, xie started it four years ago. He married a movie actress and has four children. Bob—I see Henry Fordham is still studying music in Italy. I guess he tninks he needs it and I heard Bert Robinson is playing in the Imnerial Orchestra of Spain. Eddie—What did Bess Miller do after Henry left her? Bob—Oh, she went and married ihat fellow from Sayville. Eddie—Julia Sakowicz is a movie actress. I saw her playing opposite Ricardo Cortez. Have you heard anything of Helen Schwenk? Nobody seems to know anything about her. Bob—She never married, poor thing. Cliff and Pro killed each other in a duel over her and so she became an old maid mourning the death ot her loved ones. Eddie—I was down in New Orleans some time ago and I saw Mint Hil- er th and (Shrimp” McLaughlin. John is the organizer of the Mardi Gras Racetrack. Have you seen Tony Wilde since she left college? Bob No, I haven’t seen her but Helen Schwenk told me that she is ?n St. Louis writing sentimental poetry for a magazine. They say that Marjorie Bun married a shiek from Georgie and Alberta Ashman is sell- ing fiddles out at Shinnecock. ODDS AND ENDS WASHINGTON TRIP It was with cheers and smiles and happy hearts that the Senior Class started its trip for Washington. The work and worry in which every Senior participated had culminated in the realization of our every hope. Enthusiasm was manifested in the bearing of every individual. Even Mr. Sabine wore an expressivi and dilative smile when we met him in Penn station. We arrived in New York through the good work of Bob Lippman who took Mr. Sabine’s place from Southampton to New York. V e rushed through 1 enn station out to the B and O busses which took us to the B and O terminal in New Jersey by way of ferry in New York Harbor. Four members ol the class were delayed and consequently lost for a few minutes over the buying of a compact in Penn station but soon all were accounted for. The trip down to Washington was as uneventful as it seemed endless to the Seniors who were alive with expectancy and impatient to see the city of every Senior s dreams After going to the hotel and eating our dinner we went to the Congres- sional Library. Four of the more serious minded boys went to the theatre to broaden their intellects and improve their views. Sunday and Monday were devoted to sight seeing trips. Arlington Cemetery with the grave of the unknown soldier, Mt. Vernon and many public buildings comprised the extent of these trips. It would be useless for me to attempt to describe the untold beauties or the magnificence of the scenes we encountered. Washing- ton has the reputation for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it certainly lives up to its reputation. The buildings were visited by day and the numerous parks and squares were duly investigated by night with the aid of the moon. . Rulif and Clarence seemed to take untold delight in delaying our trips. They were always the last ones to arrive at the designated spot at the wrong time. In fact on the morning of our departure they were ten minutes late nearly causing us to miss our train. Among the personages with whom we became acquainted might be men- tioned “Sniffen Snoop” the Defective. ‘He was in evidence at all times and especially at the time when least wanted. He had the distressing habit of walking in the room just when one of the boys was leaning out the window talking say at two or three o’clock. He gave evidence of having a rather misplaced or warped judgment. Billy Fordham and “Senator Platt and Eddie Foster were also personages of great impoi’tance who were with us. This seems to be an opportune time to thank the general public for the kind and exceedingly generous support which they gave to us while we were raising sufficient funds to enable us to enjoy this splendid trip. Also I wish to state the gratitude of the class for Mr. Sabine’s part and interest mani- fested in every way. For a chaperon one would have to search far and wide to find a peer.

ODDS AND ENDS LONG ISLAND CHAMPS’ TRIP TO BUFFALO After having defeated Sag Harbor and Southold for the sectional basketball Championships and Amityville for the County Championship, we decided we would beat Westbury for the Long Island Championship and as victory in this contest meant a trip to Buffalo to play in the State Championship games, we were doubly determined to win. So with six hundred accompanying rooters and several thousands more at home, cheer- ing madly for us, we defeated Westbury for the privilege of playing in the New York State Championship Tournament at Buffafflo, New York. As this was only the second time that Southampton had sent a team up-state the people were celebrating our victory with noise and a banquet at Agawam Inn. After a suspense of several days we finally learned that we were to leave for Buffalo on the Wednesday morning following the game. We went to the station to embark on the first train out at seven o’clock to find almost two hundred people there to give us a send-off. It made us feel great to see the appreciation those people of Southampton had for us. Those who comprised the party were Coach Richard Smith, Manager Arthur Smith, Captain “Shrimp” McLaughlin, “Boo” White, Francis McGum, Paul Top- ping, “Chesie” Buttonow, “Eddie” McGuirk, “Cliff” Aldridge and Albert Griffin. (Our accompanying cheering section was Eddie McGurn and Ted Schrader.) Everybody was in high spirits we pulled out of the station and started on our trip but after a while everyone calmed down and a mild game of pinochle was started to pass away the time. Nothing worthy of note happened so far. After our arrival in New York we went in the subway (Artie Smith was afraid of it) to Grand Central Station where we checked our bags and then went out to Child’s to eat lunch. After lunch we wanted to buy derbies and we finally succeeded in finding a hat store where some of the boys purchased derbies. “Eddie” McGuirk could not get one to fit him, although he tried on several and had two stretched. After this business was over the “Men with the Iron Hats” boarded a train for Buffalo and sat in a Pullman. This was a new experience for some of the 'boys like Albert Griffin, John McLaughlin and Artie Smith who had never been more than one hundred miles from Southampton before. All went well until Albert Griffin went into the men’s compartment to wash. Eddie McGuirk asked “Griff” if he would like to take a bath. He answered that he would so Eddie told him to pull out the cushion of the compartment seat that runs nearly across the car and he would find a tub. Albert started pulling and the porter who probablv heard the noise, entered the compartment and wanted to know what “Griff” svas trying to do. When the porter was let in on the joke he laughed as loud- ly at poor “Griff” as any of us. Anyhow Griff will know better next time. The experience did him good. After some fooling with several girls from Vassar who were in the car with us we began to get hungry and eating was the subject of debate between “Coach” and ourselves. But finally we had supper in the diner. This was a new experience for those fellows who had never been on any train but a Long Island Express. But they waded through it all right and retired to our car again. Some of the fellows went to sleep but when we stopped at Syracuse everyone was awake. “Pete” Balnis was at the station to see us and “Cliff” Aldridge’s aunt was there to see him. After leaving Syracuse we sang all the popular songs in our reper- toire. Our fair traveling companions left us at Rochester. We arrived in Buffalo around eleven-thirty P.M. and had to walk about ten blocks to the Cairo Hotel, one of the most sumptuous and luxuriant hostelries in Buffalo. After having checked in, “Coach” told us to go right to bed but that was impossible. We unpacked and started running around, from room to room, making a great deal of noise. “Coach” told us to stop it and go to bed. We quieted down for a short time and then “Eddie” McGuirk conceived ODDS AND ENDS the idea of calling up “Shrimp” McLaughlin who was in a different room. Eddie, disguising his voice, called him up and told him that he was Mr. Brown, a reporter for the Buffalo News. He asked John for a hastory of his life as an athlete, which “Shrimp” very obligingly gave him in detail. Then Eddie asked about the other members of the squad. John told all about each man on the squad at length. The conversation lasted for the best part of an hour. Paul Topping was sore because Johnny didn’t say that he played guard on the basketball team. A few minutes afterward John burst into the room where “Eddie” “Boo” and Francis McGurn, who were in the joke, were and told them excitedly what had happened while the three fellows had all they could do to keep a straight face. Next morning, John bought every newspaper in Buffalo looking for the write-up of the team. Even then he didn’t see the joke until he was told of it. This hoax was a source of amusement for some time. After a good sleep we went down stairs to find Mr. Edward Wihrite in the lobby. Then we looked over the city before we went to the Buffalo Athletic Club for a dinner and talks on sportsmanship. Opponents for the first round of the tournament were chosen. That night, Thursday, the tournament started at seven thirty. As we did not play until last we stayed in the hotel until nine o'clock and then went to the Broadway Auditorium to play Elmira, N.Y.S. ex-champs. As we came out on to the floor our cheer- ing section, “Eddie” McGurn, “Ted” Schrader and Mr. White let out a great yell so we knew we had Southampton behind us. We tried our hardest to beat Elmira but they were too good for us. We were defeated by a score of 35-17. After the game we went back to the hotel rather downhearted but were consoled by the fact that we were not the only team that lost. After we felt in better spirits we wrote several letters and then we decided that Eddie McGurn needed a bath so we put him into a tub of cold water in his pajamas. He sat up almost all night reading letters, waiting for his paja- mas and bed, which someone saturated with water, to dry. The next morn- ing when he didn’t come down to breakfast, he was thought dead, and they were going to saw out the transom when “Eddie” wanted to know what the matter was. On Friday morning all the teams went out to Niagara Falls in buses. That is a magnificient spectacle. Words can’t describe my feelings as I stood there watching those gigantic masses of water tumbling from such a height. But the trip was over all too soon and we were back at the hotel. After lunch some of the fellows took in shows or played pool at the hotel. After dinner we went down to the Auditorium! to watch the semi- finals of the tournament. Elmira and Yonkers were left after the night con- tests. After touring the city on foot for several hours, “Boo” and “Eddie” McGuirk returned to the hotel and “Eddie” decided to call up Paul Top- ping. He called up Paul in the next room, said he was from Elmira and that Topping had insulted one of the Elmira girls by flirting with her and if Topping would come down to the lobby of the hotel, he’d show him a few things in the way of a fight. All this was said in a hard tone and Paul was answering, “Yes,Sir” to every sentence. After Eddie hung up, Paul rushed into Eddie’s room and told the fellows in there all about it and got us all dressed and we all went downstairs. Everybody was wise except Paul. There was one Elmira fellow in the lobby, as his sweater showed so Paul walked up to him, hard as nails, and said, “My name’s Topping. Are you looking for me?” The fellow was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to do or say for a minute but he finally convinced Paul that he hadn’t called him up. John explained the joke to the fellow after we went back upstairs, where we ex- plained the joke to Paul and had a good laugh at his discomfiture. Then “Eddie”' McGuirk got busy with the telephone again and called Artie Smith. He told Artie that he was the manager of the Oswego team, which also lost in the tournament, and asked him to come to a room on the other side of the hotel. Artie said he’d be right over, so he dressed and went to the room mentioned and entered. It was lucky for Artie that there were only fellows in the room. After Artie came back, he told us about it ODDS AND ENDS and seemed rather mystified that he couldn’t find the fellow and although we tried to persuade him to go to some other room, he would not try another one. On Saturday morning Coach hired a taxi and we toured Cana- da. We took in all the sights over there and persuaded Artie Smith on the trip that engineers must steer railroad engines. We were in Can- ada a greater part of the day. That night we went to the auditorium and watched Yonkers trim Elmira. At eleven-thirty we got on the sleeper for New York City. Shrimp had an upper berth but did not want to sleep in it for fear he’d fall out. Coach finally persuaded him to get in and go to sleep. Here most of the jokes that were played on the fellows were exposed and several of them felt rather silly. When we arrived in New York Sun- day morning we met “Boo” and Topping and Francis McGurn and Mr. White, who had gone to Cornell to see Ibby. After a hard trip on the Long Island R. R., we arrived home safe and sound to find a crowd of people to meet us. Although we had a wonderful trip and a great time we were mighty glad to get home and put in a little time sleeping. Here I would like to take the. opportunity to thank, in the name of the squad, those who gave us their loyal support all year and thus made this splendid trip pos- sible for us. By a Senior who made the trip. IT HAPPENED AT SOUTHAMPTON On a summer afternoon two years ago, under one of the large umbrel- las of the Southampton Bathing Beach sat a young, attractive and very well dressed girl of perhaps twenty two years of age. In her hands was a late novel and her eyes were steadily perusing its pages. A young man could he seen gazing upon this girl from a little distance. He was , very anxious that something should happen so he could meet her. At length her book fell from her lan and he rushed to pick it up. After its recovery he stood hemming and hawing, wishing that she would speak first. His wish was granted. This charming young lady asked if he would not sit down. Most willingly he did this. The ensuing conversation was rather pe- culiar. “What is your name?” asked the pretty creature. “Martin Clarkson,” replied the over excited gentleman. “What is yours, may I ask?” “I’d rather not tell you mine. You see, I am of one of the few great families of the country and if I told my name I might get into society more than ever. If there is anything I hate, it is society life. The same thing over and over and never a minute’s let up.” “Society life does not seem at all dull to me. You see I am a butler and the scenes which I witness seem very enjoyable and appealing. If I were in society life, I certainly would make the most of it.” The conversa- tion continued in this discussion of society life for several minutes. Then she after glancing at her watch, remarked that she must be going as she was attending a tea. Mr. Clarkson asked if he might drive her home but she said her own car was at the entrance to the beach. “Do you mean that big red car with red wheels?” he asked. “Yes, that is the one,” was her reply and “please don’t try to follow me or find where I live.” He promised and walked slowly down the beach. She hurried to the car, sneaked behind it, ran a short distance down the path and entered the servant’s entrance to one of the summer homes to return to her work for “one of the few great families of the country.” He, after a short while, went back to the entrance, got in his big red car with red wheels and drove off. HISTORY Mr. Stsinmetz—“Well, Bob, tell me something about gold diggers of ‘49”. Bob (after careful consideration)—“Mr. Steinmetz, I don’t believe I can tell you much about.them, but I think I can relieve your mind as to any doubt concerning the gold diggers of ’27.” ODDS AND ENDS FOOTBALL This year’s football eleven proved to be a fast, light aggregation. After losing the first three games to heavier teams, it began to bit its stride and eventually won the County Championship by overwhelmingly defeating Pat- chogue here on Thanksgiving Day before the largest crowd that ever before witnessed a football game in «Southampton. It upheld the old timeworn traditions of Southampton by defeating her hereditary rivals. Patchogue and Riverhead by satisfactory margins. On the whole Coach Smith and cap- tain Whitman were satisfied with the showing they made. We heartily con- gradulate the team for its success, not forgetting the scrubs who made the County Championship possible. We extend to Captain-elect Buttonow our heartiest felicitations for the coming season. BASKETBALL Before the Bordentown game, which S.H.S. won, someone said that the outlook for the High School this year was not so good. But after seveial games in which the home quintet proved its superiority over its rivals by dominating scores, people of the town realized that their hopes of a Long Island Championship team had at last come true, and began to support the team by crowding the new gymnasium to capacity and by sending large contingents to out of town games. During all the season Southampton lost three out of nineteen games. Amity ville and Westbury were defeated for the Suffolk County and Long Island Championships respectively. Then the Squad took a trip to Buffalo where it met Elmira, Ex-State Champs, and were defeated by them. But taken as a whole this was the most successful season which Southampton has had in ten years. Coach Smith and Captain McLaughlin were overjoyed at the brilliant success of the team and confi- dentially hope for the New York State Championship next year. McGuirk is the only “S” man leaving school so the team will not be changed. To show their appreciation of our success the business men of Southampton presented the team with handsome miniature gold basketballs for which we take this oppoi tunity to extend our heartiest appreciation. TRACK Although Southampton lost the Triangular meet between Southampton, Patchogue and Riverhead, ancient rivals for track and field honors, Captain White and members of the squad confidentially expect to win the County meet. The loss of the meet was due to several injuries some of our runners had which necessitated them remaining out of the running. There is some new material out this year which promises many first places for South- ampton. BASEBALL The baseball squad that turned out for practice a month ago has proved to be the best in many years. After losing the first game to Eastport through several errors the team settled down to win the next two games easily from Easthampton and Sag H'arbor. There are five veterans of pre- vious teams this year who in a great measure steady the youngsters. The infield is one of the best Southampton has ever had and the pitching staff is all that can be asked for. They play fast, snappy baseball and have im- proved so much since the first game of the season with Eastport that Cap- tain McGuirk says that he expects the team to clean up Suffolk County. Coach Smith has’ great hopes for a Championship team. ODDS AND ENDS LOST ! ! ! ! ! On Monday April 25th our intelligent Senior Class was reported mis- sing.

Mike Micari THE GHOST OF FRESH POND The wind went howling through the trees with a moanful tune. The owls were hooting wildly and weirdly. The half hidden moon played ghostly shadows of the landscape. The moon’s reflection on the ice cast a bluish tint over all. As I walked around the bend of that frozen pond in the deep of the woods I heard the peals of a distant clock strike two. As I came further around the bend, I thought I saw something in the glen on the op- posite side of the road from the pond. It approached me and I grew frightened. It’s cold, clammy hands were extended toward me and finally touched my neck. Behind me the ice cracked emitting a terrible boom and- I awoke. My mother was covering me up. CHEMISTRY Mr. Baxter—“Well, Bob, what rock is quartz usually found in”? Bob Lippman (mistaking quartz for quarts) dreamily—“Well, I don’t ow easily, but I guess White Rock”.

After many long years of study, In these old memorial halls, After many long years with our buddies, We leave our time is in call. We started school all together And came each day hand in hand, We now have to bid all good-bye And soon shall be scattered like sand. When we look back on our past And our hearts are beginning to throb, Or when we look off into the future Or to our next oncoming job We feel a spell,—a deep sensation Soon we are to be one of God’s creation. We meet tonight for the last time in years And recall to our minds our fancies and fears After tonight we will go on our way Some scattered, yet others here may stay. When we leave we’ll all feel down hearted But nevertheless we must be parted; It is predestined by God’s own will And now we must leave to partake of our fill. If sometimes the Cup of Life be sour And things don’t progress for many an hour Recall to your minds our bygone joys Then your troubles will be swept aside like toys, If perhaps you will feel real blue And the whole world seems to be bothering you, Remember our trials, tribulations and trips Perhaps Melancholy will give you the slip. And now my dear friends, comrades and all We wish you good-bye, as we answer our call To you, our teachers, we have enjoyed your strife And now we march on, onward to life, And come dear associates, we must away There is time for work and that for play, Now we must go—out and beyond And leave behind many of whom are fond. And now dear friends, I have finished my verse Please take it for better and not for worse, But although I am not a poet Please don’t tell me, because I know it, And so remember these things until you die And now “au revoir” but not good-bye.
