It’s a swan song, this song. And it’s a beautiful, fa- miliar song, this swan song. It is a song of joy, anticipation, sorrow, failure, triumph. It first steals upon the mind with a halting, joyful, uncertain lilt, full of a wonder and awe. It is thus that our song interprets the Freshman year. It changes now; it is of the Sophomore year that it now sings. There is more volume, a bit of the wavering is gone, swallowed by a deeper tone which is beginning to be heard. There is a more brazenly, resonant quality to it, there is an almost steady beat which gives way to a swell which intro- duces the Junior year. There are many swells now; there is joy; there are some crashes as of cymbals. We are sure of our footing. The wavering note disappears entirely, supplanted here and there by a bar of triumph, But a note of sadness has begun to creep in. Midst all the joy and blare, a plaintive strain of melody is rising and falling, scarcely perceptible, but strengthening into the measure by which the Senior year is preceded. It is the most plaintive of all, the Senior year. It is the most triumphal, too. There are bits of exquisite, joyous melody, there are bits of rhapsody, there are bits of a poignantly sorrowful strain. It is the sorrow of farewell that this song expresses now. A sorrow which is not a child of melancholy but a child of memory. It is ending now. It is reaching its climax. The melody swells to a glorious culmination. It is ended and it fades until it is gone. Yes, it’s a beautiful song, this swan song, as beautiful as we have made it for ourselves during these four years. U. S. B. ----o----- Daniel Webster and the Indestructibility of the Union On the eighteenth of January of the year seventeen hundred and eighty- two there was born in the small village of Cassandras, New Hampsire, a frail, weakly boy, whom the neighbors predicted would die in early childhood. Little did the mother know of the iron constitution concealed in the frail body of this child. This juevenile phenomenon was Daniel Webster. I need not dwell further on the youth and education of this man, who was destined to become one of the greatest orators that the world has ever produced, unless to say that he had an insatiable desire for reading and an outstanding faculty of rapid acquisition, combined with a burning zeal to acquaint himself more with the things which pertained to his own and his country’s betterment. The first speech which was delivered by the “Iron Orator,” which ap- proached the later perfected eloquence, was presented on a bill against the encouragement of enlistments. I think Mr. Lodge summed up the whole matter when he said that Webster was now master of the style at which he aimed. This speech typified the elasticity and vigor of his destined force. His deliberate and measured phrases conveyed themselves with favor to the previously doubting ears of his fickle audience. He wielded his powerful weapon of sarcasm with formidable strength and wisdom, a weapon which was always feared by his most worthy opponents, THE TALLY 9 After entering the lower house of Congress, Mr. Webster soon showed that he was a man to be reckoned with in all public (questions as he brought his arguments to a logical conclusion. He took his position with the party which held the key to the question, defeating two bills to establish a paper money bank, solely by the lucid manner of his speech, accompanied by all the rudimentary facts fused together by a real orator for impressive delivery. The days of amateur speaking were now over. Daniel Webster had been converted into a professional orator to whose eloquence America was privileged and proud to base a claim. The new era of his advanced oratory was precipitated by his testimony and arguments involved in the Dartmouth College case, which he brought to a suitable climax by winning the unani- mous decision of the judges present. The result was finally attained in his masterly reply to Hayne. In this debate he advanced a candid heart to heart talk with his reasoning American public. His brief and pregnant sentences found their way with favor to the ears of those who were most prejudiced to his cause. It was a grand victory for the man who swayed three-fourths of the Senate, who were formerly in sympathy with his most worthy opponent, Mr. Hayne, to his way of reason- ing and to his views merely by the flowery flow of his oratory. In this debate his vigorous sarcasm and unexcelled interpretation of the Constitu- tion stood him in good stead in bringing it to a suitable conclusion. Mr. Webster did not use his marvelous powers of debate for personal prain or popularity, but rather for the prestige and compactness of the Union resulting from a government which was born m Greece, saw child- hood in England, and finally attained manhood and perfection in these United States. The Union was always foremost in his mind. For it he sacrificed his time and opportunities and I think that I may safely say that he was the strongest thread that bound it while he was living. Nay, more than that, Daniel Webster was incorporated in the Union and unity was wholly de- pendent upon Daniel Webster. They thus formed a political equation, the one non-existent without the accompaniment of the other. The fact that I would like to impress upon your minds, fellow citizens, is that Daniel Webster realized the solemn obligation we had to fulfill in handing down our model government, whole and unbroken, to be enjoyed by our successors. He fulfilled his obligation by his many impressive and sincere speeches most of which he dedicated to the advancement of his theory of the indestructibility of the Union. His views on the bank, his views on the tariff, his views on slavery, all found their arguments in their connection with the Union. If he com- promised, it was to save that Union. If he threatened, it was to demand respect for that Union. In all his pleadings for unity his arguments became incandescent. Some of you may ask why this man was never president; the answer is simple. He spoke contrary to the views of his party to keep these states of ours united forever. I should like to ask you, ladies and gentlemen, which is better—to have your name blazoned on the hearts of every American citizen or scrolled on some public document with the names of thirty-one executives of those United States to which he dedicated his life and fortune to keep united. What nation today could long consider dismemberment or factional strife if it had been aroused by the inspiring words of a Daniel Webster when he said, “Standing hand to hand and clasping hands, let us remain united as we have been for sixty years, citizens of the same country, mem- bers of the same government, united, all united now, and united forever.” DUNCAN MacLEAN, 10 THE TALLY Freedom of Speech and Press; Its Scope and Limitations When the Constitution of the United States was being formulated, the scrupulous Democrats of that day, fearing that the houses of Congress would develop into an oligarchy, demanded among other fundamental rights, freedom of speech and press. These the Constitution grants in Article I of the first ten amendments, knowm as the “Bill of Rights.' : “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances.” These rights were just and necessary then as they are just and neces- sary now. The thing that has made this clause of the Constitution seem too liberal is the perversions to which these rights have been put by those un- acquainted with the true principles of American democracy and viciously seeking to undermine the foundations of our glorious republic. The City of New York today is in the grasp of communist rioters, in- cited by “soap-box oratory” on the street corners, shouting the principles of anarchy and waving the red flag of bolshevism. Can these people be supporting a great and noble cause when they put their women and children in the first ranks that they may be injured and excite compassion? Can they better conditions for the working man by training their women to fall down in front of the police and scream that they have been beaten or in- sulted? Have you heard that the Russian government has spent one million dollars to further the cause of communism in America? To the furtherance of such irrational aims has our Constitution of the United States been perverted. I commend and heartily endorse the policemen who showed these rioters the error of their ways with the business end of a nightstick. The fathers of our country inserted the “Bill of Rights” into our Con- stitution to protect the citizens from being infringed upon, to allow them to voice their opinion in an orderly and dignified manner, not to rouse crowds of rioters and vandals, not to enable the yellow press to stir the fires of anarchism with destructive criticism of our government and its institutions. Wise and justified restraint has been put upon these rights in times of national stress. During the World War, President Wilson found it neces- sary to silence propagandists to protect the government and its citizens from the influences of grotesquely biased reports of the allied policy in Europe. There is, however, another side to this story. The people of our country have not always allowed the exercise of these rights in causes that were just and commendable. In 1835, William Lloyd Garrison narrowly escaped death at the hands of a mob in the most conservative city of Boston for advocating the emancipation of the negro slaves. June 14, 1798, the Federalist party passed the Sedition Act providing that, “anyone writing or publishing false, scandalous, and malicious writings against the government, either House of Congress, o’r the President” or “exciting against them the hatred of the good people of the United States to stir up sedition” should be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars and by imprison- ment not exceeding two years. This was an unfair measure, clearly uncon- stitutional and designed expressly to curtail the newspapers of the opposing Republican party, not as a measure for protecting the government. It caused the downfall of the Federalist party and became inactive March 3, 1804. Free speech and free press are at the same time glorious privileges echoing the quintessence of American democracy and lethal weapons which THE TALLY 11 may be used to destroy the very freedom and prosperity they were created to preserve. To act the part of good American citizens and loyal supporters of the Constitution we must be educated and we must educate the new-comers to our shores in the principles of right thinking and right speaking that have made the United States the greatest nation and the purest democracy in the world.

Possessing an unusual intellect, a pleasing personality, and a fine sense of the moral and beautiful, she embodies all the attri- butes which have made her the perfect classmate which she has been during our four years association with her.

WALTER JOHN MANSBERGER “Eva” “Actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.” “Eva,” alias “Al,” makes a welcome ad- dition to any company with his ready wit and infallible good humor. Perhaps the most popular male student of our class, he is dear to us all both as a fellow student and as an all-around “good guy.” Basketball, ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30; Football, ’29; Red and White Staff, ’28, ’29, ’30; Sports Editor of the Year Book. THfe TALLY 13 fa ACHILLE HENRY COLLEDGE “Archie” “My tongue within my lips I rein, For who talks much must talk in vain.” There may be those who make more noise and raise more dust, but there are few who carry more under their hats than Archie. He is one with a fondness for me- chanical things, not mere tinkering, but an instinctive insight that promises well for the future. Operetta, ’27. CHARLES PAUL CORRIGAN “Joking decides greater things Stronger and better oft than earnest can.” It is impossible to find Paul in dull spirits. He is always wide-awake and us- ually hatching some ingenious prank, such as stationing sharp objects on the plane sur- faces of the seating facilities, but, joking aside, Paul is as determined as the best of us and does his duty as he sees it. Baseball, ’29, ’30; Tennis, ’30; Football, ’28, ’29; Basketball, ’29, ’30. 14 THE TALLY EDWARD ALFRED MAJOWSKI “Eddie” “He that is wise and good, Just, ingenious, and honest.” Eddie is a man who is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and pitch in. Such does the world demand, workers, mentally alert, physically fit, and morally straight. Four years at S. H. S. ORVILLE BEHLER “Lefty” “I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indiffer- ence to me.” “Lefty” has grit, courage, and initiative. He combines a likeable personality with a subtle dominance born of personal magne- tism and physical perfection. Football, ’27, ’28, ’29; Track, ’28, ’29, ’30; Glee Club, ’28, ’29; Basketball, ’28, ’29. 15 THE TALLY hg——■ «■■■in � n EDWARD LAWRENCE GODBEE “Goop” “An honest man’s the noblest work of God.” “Goop” may look reserved and dignified, but he’s the prince of good fellows, and then some. He is not, however, one of those who rush in where angels fear to tread, but works as he plays, under the full control of an open and healthy mind.

MARGUERITE ANN CRUTCHLEY “Crutch” “Whence is thy learning? Has thy toil oe’r books Consumed the midnight oil?” Behold our beautiful and accomplished Marguerite! Here is an unassuming pos- sessor of that rare combination, brains and beauty, excelling in both pulchritudinal and intellectual arts, she yet would be a “violet by the mossy stone, half hidden from the eye.” But then you might be surprised.

In his studies and in the field of athletics he has revealed a determination to succeed. The praises which have been bestowed upon him have been earned through conscien- tious effort on his part. Russell, through perserverance success in all your undertak- ings will be easily acquired. Football, ’29, ’30; Baseball, ’29,’ 30. AMELIA RAYNOR “Mele” “Still water runs deep.” Is “Mele” really as quiet and dignified as she appears? I should say not. That twinkle in her eye belies her real nature. A good sport as well as a player of no mean ability, both on the soccer field and basketball court, she has done her part to bring home the bacon for S. H. S. May Lady Luck always smile on your under- takings. Soccer, ’27, ’28, ’29; Basketball, ’28, ’29. THE TALLY 11 RITA MARIE MOORE “Shrimp” “Ambition is the germ From which all growth of nobleness pro- ceeds.” With her versatility and all-around pro- ficiency, Rita has made her presence in the Class of ’30 indispensable. Self-possessed, competent, and endowed with an individ- ual personal charm, she has been an in- valuable asset to our class and to the school which will feel her loss as keenly as we, her classmates, will.

MARJORIE ESTELLE ENSTINE “Midge” “A happy heart is worth a king’s ransom.” In Marjorie’s diminutive person is stored a fund of vivacity and energy which have made her a most interesting and pleasant classmate. With her sparkling and refresh- ing happy mien, she has made her own lit- tle niche in the regard of all of us which will remain pleasant to our memories when she has ceased to be a part of us, as a class. Operetta, ’26, ’27; Soccer, ’28, ’29; Track, ’29, ’30; Parrish Speaking Contest, ’30; Cheer Leader, ’28, ’29, ’30. 18 THE TALLY DAVID McMEEKAN “Dave “A married man Within the limits of becoming mirth I never spent an hour’s talk withal.” In our short association with him, he has impressed us deeply with his profound ap- preciation of all that is fine in literature, the wide scope of his intellect and his price- less sense of humor. One year Markquand High School; two years at Exeter; one year at S. H. S.; Ora- torical Contest, ’30. JULIA MALMROSE “Lue” “For friendship sake in her cheery way Brings forth a smile from day to day.’ What would we do without Lue to see that everyone gets what is coming to him? No one who understands her takes offense at her candid out-spokenness, but receives her good-natured advice in the friendly spirti in which it was given. If you always face life with the same good sportsmanship and unruffled ability you have portrayed in your participation in athletics, surely the Fates will reward you with the good- fortune you deserve. Basketball, ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30; Captain, ’29, ’30; Soccer, ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30; Captain, ’29, ’30; May Attendant, ’30; Track, ’29, ’30. THE TALLY 19 BESSIE EISNER “Bess” “Frivolous in manner, mind and soul.” Clever and friendly though she may be, Bessie’s chief social asset is undeniably her sparkling vivacity. Her classmates of ’30 feel sure that with her pleasing personality she will always breeze through life joy- ously, achieving whatever her heart de- sires. Glee Club, ’27, ’28, ’29; Secretary of Glee Club, ’29; Soccer, ’29; Basketball, ’28, ’29; Second Prize, Parrish Speaking Contest, ’30; Red and White Staff, ’30. HELEN CHEESNICK “Seek ye not success, but Seek ye greater success.” 8he old seer must have had Helen in mind when he made that crack! She cer- tainly has gained success; all she needs to do is to keep on expanding. We’re all for you, Helen. Keep it up. Associate Editor of Red and White, ’30; Assistant Editor Year Book; Operetta, ’27; 20 THE TALLY FRED OSWICK “Begone all ye dull cares of life.” Fred’s career in the Southampton High School has been one of cheerful indiffer- ence to cares and worries. Rebukes and failures, praise and success, have been taken with the same jolly smile. Although discouraged at times, he never failed to persevere in his effort to do his best. We sincerely hope that his efforts have not been in vain and that his future success is as- sured. Class President, Freshman year. COURTNEY PHILLIPS “Jim” “A man of ambition and ability.” In Courtney are contained all the char- acteristics of an expert and efficient mana- ger. These were revealed in his meritorious work as manager of our foot ball team. Through the skill of our team and his profi- ciency as a manager our foot ball season has been an overwhelming success. His jolly disposition has earned scores of friends for him, who admired his whole- hearted interest in his studies and in ath- letics. We are confident that his lot in life is to be a hpapy and prosperous one. Football, ’26, ’27, ’28; Manager, ’29. THE TALLY 21 URSULA SOLACE BRADLEY “Urs” “Comeliness and wit Shall be joined in happy harmony.” Not only poular in class or school activi- ties, but also with her teachers for her many abilities, Ursula is sure to outstrip the field. Not afraid to hit a tough proposi- tion on the button—that’s Ursula.

MELVIN GRIFFING “Grif” ‘Came we many leagues In quest of learning.” “Mel” is one of our accomplished actors and an ardent advocate of a good time. An ace on the banjo and a king as a friend is “Mel.” Football, ’29; Basketball, ’29, ’30; Base- all, ’30; Senior Play; Three years in Iridgehampton High; Baseball, ’27, 28, o • Rflskpthall. ’27. ’28. ’29; Senior Play, ’27, ’28, ’29. 22 THE TALLY PATRICIA ODELL BAILEY “Good actions crown themselves with last- ing ways Who well deserves needs not another’s praise.” Her calm, competent attitude, her con- cise thought and execution have made her one of the chief claims of the Class of ’30 to scholastic eminence. Coupled with the concrete possession of an unusual scholas- tic ability is the abstract endowment of a pleasant disposition and quietly ingratiat- ing personality. In the estimation of her classmates, she holds an enviable position gained by virtue of her own merit. Parrish Speaking Contest, ’30. ALEXANDER DUNCAN MacLEAN “Duke” “Ever foremost in the ranks of fun The laughing herald of the harmless pun.” Here’s another of our class’ claim to fame. His oratorical ability has “brought home the bacon” for our school and maybe we aren’t proud of him! His incessant cheerfulness, his air of contentment with everything and his inimitable grin are in- valuable. Baseball, ’29, ’30; First Prize Parrish Speaking Contest, ’30; Oratorical Contest, '30; Senior Play, ’30, THE TALLY 23 BETTY McAULAY “Bet” “A rare humor and a winning smile.” Here is a girl whose cheerfulness is pre- dominant. No matter how trying the sit- uation, Betty has always been able to main- tain her smile. She is known to all as a good sport, ready to participate in a bit of fun, and on the other hand, willing to do well in her studies. We all agree that Betty deserves all the happiness that the future has in store for her. HELEN SOKOLOWSKI “Sok” “Ever jolly, ever gay.” Here’s our happy-go-lucky Helen! Her fun-loving nature is outstanding and her ready smile is always appreciated. Throughout her four years at High School, she has been ambitious to succeed in her studies, no matter how difficult. Helen’s nature does not permit her to regard life too seriously and she is always willing to take part in some deviltry. We all hope her life will be a huge success and will al- ways remember her many jests and jolli- ties. Operetta, ’27; Glee Club, ’28, ’29. 24 THE TALLY ANNA SAKOWICZ “Saks” “For she’s a jolly good fellow.” In the field of athletics, Anna has ex- celled and has at all times devoted her ut- most energy to win laurels for our school. Iler jolly and friendly disposition has won her many sincere and well-wishing friends. She hns always revealed a willingness to participate in all class activities and an eagerness to further the welfare of our class. With her energy and determination she is bound to make her way in the world. Basketball, ’28, ’29, ’30; Soccer, ’28, ’29, ’30; operetta, ’27; Glee Club, ’28. EVA PARKS “Contentment is the best phase of happi- ness.” Content, unassuming, and genial. Eva’s serene dignity has been characteristic of her throughout her four years at school. Her desire has been to be pleasant and un- obtrusive and we know that this worthy aim has been realized. Though naturally quiet and unassuming, Eve has, at times, been wont to indulge in laughter and gig- gling at some humorous incident. Here’s luck to all of Eva’s undertakings. Four years at S. H. S. THE TALLY 25 PAULINE LIPETZ “She’s pretty, she’s petite.” Pauline is a rare combination of shyness and charm. She has just come to this school recently and has been able to adapt herself to the ways of our school and to win many friends. In her work, she is careful and precise. She is to be com- mended for her industriousness in the un- dertakings of our class. One-half year Girls’ High, Brooklyn; three years Riverhead High; Treasurer, Freshman year; Junior Reporter Blue and White; Glee Club, ’28. ELOISE MILLER “Soft blue eyes and sunny hair Smiling lips and a graceful air.” A charming friend and companion! Eloise’s place in the Class of ’30 has been one of undisputed geniality. Pleasant and uncomplaining, she has ever been ready to render aid to her fellow students. She has been a conscientious worker in the inter- ests of the class and has revealed a great deal of ability and efficiency in her work. We predict a rosy future for Eloise. Orchestra, ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30; Operetta, ’27; Manager Soccer Team, ’28; Glee Club, ’27, 26 THE TALLY PEARL FREEDMAN “A sparkling personality With friends in plurality.” Don’t we all envy the happy-go-lucky air and sunny disposition that Pearl pos- sesses? Though she always seems to find time to be friendly, no one can boast of more helpful participation in class activi- ties than she. Pearl never refuses a task set before her, but performs it so joyfully ii scarcely seems a task at all. May you always win the hearts and good will of your associates as you have those of your classmates of ’30. Glee Club, ’27, ’28; Senior Play, ’30. Glee Club, ’27; Salutatorian. AUGUSTUS CLARK JOHNSON “Gus” “Great are the blessings of knowledge.” Why do we allow that “great big man from the South” to invade our battles of the intellect, more commonly known as classes, and literally walk away with all the honors? Perhaps it’s because we can’t re- sist his good-natured, friendly grin. Per- haps his sunny nature and consistent good humor doesn’t leave us any alternative but to wish him the best of luck. Surely that thoroughness which has quite abashed our puny attempts at scholastic eminence and energy which he has displayed in class ac- tivities will boost him far up the ladder of success.

U. essay contest, ’30. THE TALLY 27 CHARLES MAYNARD HAVENS “Slim,” “Chas” “Life is too short for mean anxieties.” Charles is possessed of that very rare talent of being able to pat everybody on the back with all the sincerity in the world. And not at all brief is his catalog of tal- ents and accomplishments in any field, whether athletic, music, or dramatics. Serenely at peace with all the world, his very indifference to his attraction to the weaker sex has proved most devastating.

SIDNEY HARTSTEIN “Sid” “Short of stature But high of aspiration.” In Sidney we find much to admire. Clever, ambitious, thoroughgoing, he has filled a by no means inconspicuous place in our class life, but perhaps it is that boyish fun-loving and fun-inventing side of his na- ture we find most individual and likeable. Keep that excellent self-confidence and if you don’t succeed in this busy world then nobody ever will.

Also, if you want a real friend, see Hall. A re- sourceful, popular member of our class is Hall, a sure bet in the future race of life. President, Junior year; Parrish Speak- ing Contest, ’29, ’30; Winner Written Prize in Oratorical Contest, ’30; Associate Editor Year Book. SPENCER LANSDOWNE “Spence” “A close mouth Reveals a sharp wit.” Spencer’s first year among us has justly raised him to a key position in our class.

Alice Bishop, we advise you to get a pair of asbestos gloves as your more or less phenomenal speed as typewriter chauffeur is likely to set fire to one of the contraptions. James Scholz, perhaps you might profit by that old onion: “Discretion is the better part of valor, and either indulge in a few life-savers or a good old listerine gargle after your noon smoke. Miss Blythe would like, we’re sure. Mary Gaines, better see Dr. Scholl about some of his Zino pads. Your treks around study hall aren’t going to do your feet any good. Elizabeth Barteau, lay off the Egyptian style of hair-dress. It went out of date with Cleopatra. Donald Terry, something nice in a gas-balloon ought to be useful to you in your pole-vaulting, as well as ornamental Leo Zeiman, if our old mentor, Mr. Steinmetz, were with us yet, he’d no doubt tell you to “wipe that smile off your face. We can think of no better way to let you know we don’t like the grin. Roderic Penny, keep away from slot machines. We’d hate to see you fall in. Helen Gilmartin, don’t you think it would be advisable to learn to con- trol your mirth in English IV, even if green paper does happen to appeal to you in a humorous way? Elsie Pugley, you’d better cultivate a sweet smile to propitiate any traffic cop you might come across while navigating that verdant vehicle of yours. Wallace Aldrich, you’d do well to learn to control your grin in Physics class. Mr. Baxter doesn’t seem to appreciate that “Pepsodent” smile. Elizabeth Whitman, stop smoking “Old Golds” and try some brand less easy on the voice. It occurs to us that your voice needs that bark imparted by “Camels. Ruth Frank, don’t you think that you’d better comb your hair so it won’t hang over your face like that? Someday Miss Hudson may not recog- nize through the underbrush, and you’ll lose your opportunity for one of your discourses in English class. Anna Dzieman, roller skating may be good exercise and a very useful accomplishment, but it’s very unseemly at your age. Slavic Pavelec, keep that vacant look on your face so that you can help out if your father ever needs a clothing dummy. Edna Wood, try to learn to modulate your voice, Edna. There have been several complaints from the boys in manual training class about the vibrations caused down there by your masterful voice up in English class. Luke Ruth, try wearing a red tie around school so that you’ll know you’re there. You’re getting so quiet we’d almost mistaken you for Scholtz. THE TALLY 34 THE TALLY Jenny Lotko, keep away from the movies. We can’t have you getting bad ideas Ruth Gilmartin, when you’re in Washington next year, drop around and see Mr. Hoover. He might be able to use a few of your ideas on “mob rule” as demonstrated in the Junior class. Martha Tuthill, try standing in an ice-box. It’ll help you keep fresh, a state which you seem to enjoy. Elsie Kunigonis, change that walk. It won’t go well with the dignity assumed by a Senior. Dorothy McMaster, see if you can get an appointment to go to the London naval conference. You might learn how to reduce excess tonnage. Ruth Duryea, you’d better teach Rita to drive a new Ford so that after school every afternoon you won’t have to act as chauffeur. David Overton, if you must chew tobacco, don’t spit it into the waste- paper baskets. Use the ink wells—they’re much more convenient. Arthur Harrison, we’re fully convinced that you have a great future in the movies. Think of all the money you can save the producers by making a one-man mob scene. Ruth Crutchley, the baby talk is all right for a Junior, but in a Senior it’s not exactly appropriate. Paul Fordham, of course, we realize all about the breaks you give the girls, but why dwell on them to such length? Ruth Moore, your soda jerking is sadly amateurish. It lacks that cer- tain something that distinguishes a novice from an “old salt.” Try practice. Margaret McAllister, try inserting the business end of a hat pin into your head. It might remove the inflation Jean Wells, we have only congratulations for you upon the way you keep and enjoy your “suppressed desires.” Muriel Jessup, we advise you to keep on confiding in Dibby Whitman. She’s a wonderful press agent for dates. Sis Schenck, get a commutation ticket to Bordentown so that when Gren doesn’t write for two days you can investigate the cause personally. Alice Roscoe, we advise you to apply for a position posing for the illus- trations for “The Outdoor Girls” or “The Elsie Books.” -----o---- Junior Response There has been a malady prevalent among us for many years, for which we, the Juniors, feel there must be both cause—and a cure! We noticed it first, when we were Freshmen (and one could scarcely help noticing it be- cause it was then, as it is now, so obvious, and because it was spreading, rapidly and daily, like some horrible germ, among all the members of the upper classes). To those who have been fortunate enough to escape this scourge and blight, perhaps a word of explanation is necessary—this germ —this malady, is known as supercilious Seniorism. Among the most out- standing traits (and all of them are undesirable), is the fact that it affects only those creatures known as Seniors—and utterly blinds them to the fact that they are top-heavy with conceit (not brain matter)—overbearing and arrogant (not superior), and far more obnoxious than the freshman in his earliest stages! After these three long years of observation, consideration and medita- THE TALLY 35 tion we have concluded that the cause dates too far back to be traced, and must be put down to the score of tradition. The cure, however, is plain to us and we wish to apply it now, with a view to the good of future classes, and the superciliousness of future Seniors! The remedy is an old one—but much is to be said in its favor, mainly, that it usually works! It is—advice! We have been taught—in these lofty halls of learning, that orderliness is next to Godliness—so we wish, as a result of long habit, to place this advice in orderly form. And what, pray, is more a symbol of systematic tabulation than—a proposition? If there are 36 Seniors, suffering from a malady known as supercilious- ness they must be cured—and advice is the only cure. Given: 36 Seniors. To Prove: That advice is the only cure. Steps—Proof—Reasons Marguerite Crutchley—We think, Crutch, that you would do well to wear a white gardenia on an orange hair ribbon, when traveling “abroad” and to lock “little Crutch” in the dark closet when Bob comes—because we’re afraid he’s going to take the wrong girl out some night, by mistake. Helen Cheesnick—Studying is rather important we admit—but must that “hunted” and “trampled” look be the price of scholarliness? Odell Bailey—We advise you to muffle that “giggle”—when it threatens you__it’s much too frivolous and incessant for one of your years—we feel that the gravity of life does not weigh in upon your mentality sufficiently! David McMeekan—Don’t you think it would be nice, Dave, if you dropped around at school once in a while—just to see how the place is run. Augustus Johnson—Gussie, your possibilities are enormous—after see- ing the amorous fervor of your embrace on the stage, we are sure that John Gilbert’s technique is that of an amateur Ursula Bradley—Urs, with a view to his education—don’t you think you should bring Tom in earlier ? That sleeping he does in morning study halls may be good for his constitution, but not for his marks! Sidney Hartstein—That wild pompador of yours, plus a black velvet coat and a baton, should develop you into no mean leader—in years to come. Nancy Herrick—Nan, we urge you to calm those attacks of spring fever! We ask you in all sincerity—is jumping barbed wire fences the proper sport for a Senior president to indulge in? Spencer Lansdowne—Probably offering new cases in law classes is the spice of life to you—but think of the wear and tear on the rest of the class. Fred Oswick—Why haven’t you gotten that ingenious brain of yours functioning—Freddie? We think that you should have been able to invent some apparatus to bring you from Corwith’s to school—so that you wouldn’t be late every morning—a puller—for instance! Archie Colledge—Your collection of automobiles is quite the most amaz- ing thing we know of! Each one more brilliant than the last. We advise you to become a connoisseur—you certainly should be able to tell a good car from a bad one. Charles Havens—Charlie—we could enthuse about that hair of yours! Do you put the combs in at night—or in the morning? 36 THE TALLY Amelie Raynor—We wish to inquire, “Mele,” if the “Bachelor Girls’ Club” are bachelors in name only? We think there wouldn’t be any “eligi, bles” left if the members had their way! Courtney Phillips—Your continually morose and silent aspect in the Geometry class makes us wonder whether proceedings are not too juvenile for your lofty intellect—or you are committing the proposition and originals to memory? Edward Majowski—Your constant hovering about Miss Siddons’ desk causes us to ponder over whether you are practicing to become Paul’s under- study—or her private secretary. Anna Sakowicz—Your coy advances to some of us Juniors are too num- erous—we’re young yet—give us a chance! Pearl Freedman—Your ideas about how to improve all the members of the student body are good—Pearl. But after four years we’re just a little tired of them. Helen Sokolowski—All is truly quiet on the Eastern front! This sud- den departure of your erstwhile boistrousness worries us—aren't there any jokes left for you to tell? Rita Moore—We think. Rita, that you should have notified the baseball team of your ability as a fielder—-if you can’t catch your men you can cer- tainly chase ’em! Melvin Griffing—Since you feel that greetings are too few in S. H. S. we have arranged a reception committee for you at a future date—even to the silk hats and the bowing. Hall Downey—Can’t you alter that fierce expression at all? You’re going to frighten some poor inoffensive little girl one of these days. Eloise Miller—You may not be true to all your loves, Eloise—but we have one thing to say for these days—“You certainly know your groceries!” Orville Behler—Your future is assured. After all the practice you’ve had “gently but firmly” sticking hairpins into Ellen’s hair—you certainly would make one of the world’s finest hair dressers! Marjorie Enstine—And Midge—we think it would be much safer to get a very boyish bob! When young Van Brunt gets riled—there will so much less for her to pull! Walter Mansberger—Eva—don’t you think a bodyguard would be a nice precaution? The next time you faint in study hall he could be on hand to warn you—before you resorted to cussing at Miss Schrader—while coming out of the ether. Pauline Lipetz—We think this affair of yours with that Frenchman is progressing; too rapidly! And besides, you don’t know enough French to talk it to him—if he did come to see you. Thomas Darby—Do you know that verse about Mary’s little lamb, Tom? Your evident and cheerful obedience prompts us to believe that it was writ- ten—“And every where that Lulu went—there Tom was sure to go.” Duncan MacLean—Tell us “Duke” what is the answer to the long hours you spend “back stage” on Fridays? Is it Miss Delkin, or love of the drama? Bessie Eisner—Well, Bess, what is it to be this Summer—a season house at Water Mill Beach—or will Southampton’s ocean prove as invigorating? (We hardly think it could!) Paul Corrigan—That wink of yours is fast developing into a dangerous habit You continue to wink as promiscuously and the freshmen will begin to think you’re flirting with them! One can’t be too careful! THE TALLY 37 Lawrence Godbee—“What is this thing called love?” Goobie? Your fidelity is not only amazing but unique—we wonder can it be real? Russell Tooker—We suggest that you employ a Western Union boy in study hall. The notes sent to you by your many admirers cause too heavy a traffic for mere students to handle! Lillian Strong—Sis—in the flower catalogues they might list you as a “strong perennial Lily”—back every year—bigger and better than ever. Julia Malmrose—Don’t you think that during this Summer vacation would be an admirable time for you to write your book on “How to Run the High School”? Surely you can’t lack for ideas! Eva Parkes and Betty McAulay—We suggest for you both a truly noble combination—that is—a “tandem.” It would serve double purpose, for while helping Eva to reduce—it would enable you both to travel farther and faster on Sundays than walking ever could. ----o---- Washington Trip The first part of our trip to Washington is rather hazy in our minds, as we were forced to spring from our beds at the most unearthly hour of 6:30 in order to arrive at the station in time to embark upon our private car at 7:11. The main event of the railroad journey was when Eva Mansberger was confronted with one square centimeter of fish in the dining car. At first it was the opinion of the party that the fish was merely residual and that the plate had not been washed properly since its last period of use, but we were subsequently assured by the waiter that it was part of the menu. Upon our arrival in Washington we walked through a railroad station that was at least twelve miles long and our baggage had gained in weight approximately two hundred per cent by the time we reached the bus. Inas- much as there was only one bus for the party, two of the bystanders up- rooted an adjacent telephone pole and, using the pole as a ram, managed to pack in the whole party. During the turmoil I received several suitcases in the mouth but finding myself unable to swallow them, I was forced to hold them until the opportunity or disentangling myself should be presented. The bus stopped before a gorgeous hotel with a liveried footman at the door and limousines dotting the landscape. We headed for this palace with great enthusiasm when we w re hailed by Mr. Sabine, who was standing on the steps of a far more modes'; hostelry on the.other side of the street. Imagine our embarrassment! We swarmed to our rooms which were tastefully appointed with de- funct pianos, mute radios, extra squeaky stairs and all the comforts of home. The first night we were roused from our slumbers (?).by the sounds of a terrific struggle. Dashing into Duke’s apartment we found him and Charley Havens engaged in a deadly combat with a horrid, squeaking mouse! To the consternation of the party it turned out to be a toy one which Midge Enstine had brought along to keep from being homesick. At this juncture another crash was heard which turned out to be Goop falling for that blonde. A swimming party was organized and we went to the pool at the Ambassador, where we were entertained with fancy diving by Melvin Griffing. We all received personal invitations from the President to drop in and see him some night, but we were forced to disappoint Mr. Hoover because of our numerous previous appointments. Sunday afternoon we were attacked by a photographer whose favorite 38 THE TALLY admonition “Don’t shakeamove” bid fair to become a universal by-word Many pictures of “smiling boys” and “blushing damsels” were taken W this gentleman and may be seen displayed on the garments of our class, mates. The bus drives were an endless succession of public buildings, fountain; homes of famous men, monuments, etc., but the memory of one bus at nouncer will never be erased from the pages of Pearl Freedman’s memory Ah, Cupid, thou bold schemer! On the boat ride to Mount Vernon, Duke overcame with his masculis charms a hapless young lady who may be seen in the picture taken at Ml Vernon standing behind him with hands elapsed in an attitude of adoratiot Paul Corrigan likes nothing so well as a nice juicy cake of soap (an; flavor) to be inserted in his oracular cavity whilst he sleeps. The resulting soap bubbles are truly gorgeous. The fatal day of departure arrived with surprising rapidity and found ourselves seated in our car on the homeward journey. The remarkable freshness and gaiety of our appearance on that last day was a subject o: popular conversation until we all became too exhausted to talk and dropper into a semi-coma until we reached Southampton, where we stepped from the train amid the plaudits of the multitudes mingled with the strains o: “Hail the Conquering Heroes Come.” H.

H. S. decided to show them how it’s done. The rules of the contest provide for two cash prizes of ten dollars each one for the best-written essay and one for the best presented. Believing that there was sufficient material in the Senior Class to warrant a fair chance in competition with other schools, Miss Hudson had each member of the class submit an oration (original) on some phase of the Constitution or s me current topic; from these she selected those of Augustus Johnson, Hall Downey, Marguerite Crutchley, Duncan MacLean, Nancy Herrick, David McMeekan, Melvin Griffing and Ursula Bradley and submitted them to judges who conceded the prize for composition to Hall Downey. After a contest in which Hall Downey, Marguerite Crutchley, Duncan MacLean, Nancy Herrick and Ursula Bradley took part, the prize for oratory was awarded to Duncan MacLean and with it the right to represent the school at the sectional contest at Sayville where, a week later, he placed third and thus gained the right to compete at Northport for another prize. At North- port several more “Indians” in the form of his fellow-competitors, “bit the dust.” Duncan came home from there with first place and a fifteen dollar prize and the assurance of competing at Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn. There his succession of triumphs ended after having gained for himself and the school an enviable reputation for oratory. He proved that S. H. S. need not depend only on its excellency in athletics for eminence. The Class of ’30 thinks that it does well to publish here in its class book the prize-winning oration of two of its members. How Shall I Spend My Leisure Hours?” If one has leisure hours to spend I recommend he spend them flying kites. In the good old days, before airplanes came into vogue it was con- sidered very much the thing for a respectable citizen to spend several hour; primping before a mirror prior to his leaving for the kite field. When he reached this overcrowded field he would call on his valet to summon hither his ‘Spirit of ’86” in the form of a flaming red kite. Then he would grace- fully escort his female companion to a hot dog stand where he would make the necessary purchases of several bottles of “pop” and at least a dozen ’’dogs.” From there they should journey to the shade of the old apple tree, there to sit in the cooling shade of big, red apples. Tying the kite string to his ankle he could manage his hot dogs and woman with two hands. How- ever, he must not stay in one spot too long as he will take the shade out of the apples and furthermore the sun sets at four—taking with it the wind- and as soon as the wind goes down the kites refuse to fly. However, it is an excellent outdoor sport for a windy day—try it—it is good for fallen arches. H. G.

Time—19000 A. S. H. S. (After Southampton High School). CHARACTERS Saint Peter........................................................ Head Angel......................................................... Head Angel—There are two men without----- St. Peter—Without what? Head Angel—Food or clothing. St. Peter—Supply them with the celestial kiddie-kars. (Walter Mansberger and Lawrence Godbee trundle in). St. Peter—And what did these creatures accomplish on that small wart? Head Angel—0 sainted bugler, their careers are replete with the cries of their hapless opponents in the earthly game of basketball. St. Peter—Such base cruelty shall never pass unpunished. Add fuel to distant leaping flames! St. Peter (Accompanied by two and one-half claps of thunder)—Blow the men down! Edward Majowski and Hall Downey shall never taste eternal bliss. What care I if they did die for dear old A1 Fal Fa, a fraternity well known for its extensive campaign for the extermination of the cotton boll weevil from the Blue Grass of Kentucky? St. Peter—From what neck of woods hail those fair damsels who bruise their toes on the pearly gates? Head Angel—Rita Moore, Lue Malmrose and Pauline Lipetz, lately wafted from, ahem! business positions as private secretaries to tired business men. St. Peter—Goodly maids, forsooth. Measure them for wings. St. Peter—Zounds! My rose-colored glasses! What means this “de- footed” apparition? Head Angel—’Tis but Nancy Herrick, missionary, recently “de-limbed” by an enthusiastic convert from the Fiji lies. St. Peter—Install, with hip-boots, in the orchestra pit. St. Peter—Well! Well! Well! Look who approach on yon milk- white steeds, none other than the original Kandy Kitchen Kowgirls them- selves, Anna Sakowicz, Pearl Freedman and Amelia Raynor. ’Tis true their raids upon drug stores in many a fair city were devastating. Many a good man succumbed to their beguiling charms. Sad! Sad! But a place awaits them in the cavalry. Head Angel—Ah, sainted sire, a mortal ascends breathing forth strange saxophonic syncopations. St. Peter—Hola! ’Tis Slim Havens, a kindred soul. Thus my orchestra swells. I had not had such a find since Rudy Vallee. Pfut! My golden clothes pin! The stench of foul grease paint pollutes the celestial atmosphere. Head Angel—Calm thyself! ’Tis but Darby, Oswick, Lansdowne, Hart- stein and Tooker, that inimitable troupe of Abysinian Muscle Dancers. They’re all trying to get in on the old gag—slipped on a banana peel. St. Peter—Hence at once!—I relent—conduct them to the heavenly gymnasium. Head Angel—Oh twice and thrice blessed saint! The four fair women who come soaring through the ether I perceive as Helen Cheesnik, Helen THE TALLY 47 Sokolowski, Eva Parks and Betty McAulay. They crave entrance as sponsors of the one and only institution for Husbands Whose Wives Misunderstand Them. St. Peter—Put them on the down elevator at once! Do you not see the one-time Lillian Strong, Odell Bailey and Eloise Miller over there strum- ming on the big bass harps? They’re the wives and I crave peace! St. Peter—Let yon silver-tongued orator, Duncan MacLean, prove his worth. He shall give a five-minute speech on “What I Have Done to Help Enforce the Eighteenth Amendment.” Head Angel—Sire, the man says, “Hie”! St. Peter—The usual remark—let him pass. Exit to yon warmer climes, Bessie Eisner and Marjorie Enstine! Well knew thou Bonac to be a populous thriving hamlet until thou lured all the comely youth to thy native village leaving all the women there to become raving spinsters and gibbering maniacs. We’ll have none of that here! St. Peter—What, ho! Courtney Phillips. Such talent as thine shall not pass unnoticed. Considering thy great prowess as a guide through a certain fair city, hereafter you shall personally conduct me on my tours of Heaven. Fail to omit no place of interest. “See Thine Own City First,” is my slogan. St. Peter—Say, you, that felon who attempts to dislodge the pearls from ye Heavenly Portals is Paul Corrigan, the noted deep-sea diver, and those two who come floating upward are Jed O’Conner and Orville Behler, partners in the Great Home Cooking Establishment for Starving Armenians! Let them in. They’ve good kind faces all. Head Angel—Ahem! Who have we here? None other than Ursula Bradley and Marguerite Crutohley, joint proprietors of a Bigger and Better Hotel for Seniors who Visit Washington—absolutely no mice in mattresses, flies in fruit cup, and growlings from guests guaranteed. St. Peter—They lie! They lie! Such were impossible! The great big bonfire for them! (Just then the celestial harp twangs the closing hour. Business over for the day.) St. Peter—(After folding away his wings in moth balls.) Whee What a day! Have a chew, Angie, old thing? Head Angel—Don’t care if I do, Pete. Say, what about that guy Mc- Meekan you know, the Chief-of-Police in that little burg of Southampton. Do you know Pm expecting him and that other cop, Gus Johnson, up here any day now. Between you and me, they’d be good cops only they’ve got the wrong idea about their jobs. They think they’re meant to enforce the laws. Ain’t that a huge joke? But they’d better be careful. Public opinion is against them. Say, do you know Archie Colledge and Melvin Griffing are sporty devils, but jolly bachelors withal. About their souls- St. Peter—Aw! Shut up: How many times have I told you not to talk shop after hours? o- 48 THE TALLY The Senior Play Applesauce By BARRY CONNERS CAST OF CHARACTERS Ma Robinson................................. Pa Robinson................................. Mrs. Jennie Baldwin......................... Hazel Robinson.............................. Matt McAllister............................. Bill McAllister............................. Rollo Jenkins............................... STAGE ASSISTANTS Stage Manager............................... Wardrobe Mistress........................... Technician.................................. ......Ursula Bradley ....Sidney Hartstein ..........Rita Moore Marguerite Crutchley ....Duncan MacLean .....Melvin Griffing .....Charles Havens ........Hall Downey ........Bessie Eisner ....Pearl Freedman The Senior play which was presented on February 6, justly deserves the utmost praise. Miss Hattie May Delkin, our teacher of dramatics, is to be commended for her expert direction of the play which was a dramatic as well as a financial success. “Applesauce” is a comedy of American life in three acts. The story is based on the rivalry between Bill McAllister, a jolly, happy-go-lucky fel- low, who is fond of the so-called “applesauce,” and Rollo Jenkins, a serious, business-like chap, for the hand of the lovely Hazel Robinson. The element of amusement and hilarity is furnished by the wrangling between Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and by the town gossip, Mrs. Jennie Baldwin. The play term- inates with the end of discord between the Robinsons and McAllisters and our hero and heroine are left blissfully happy. The members of the cast did exceptionally well with their parts and certainly deserve the praise which has been bestowed upon them. The play, itself, is an excellent comedy, well liked by the multitude of people who attended its presentation on February 6. H. C. S. H. S.

H. S. BAND My Hero! Gilbert Granger was a romantic-looking creature. I really do not hold myself entirely at fault for succumbing to his charms and attaching myself to his throng of admirers. It would have taken a person with a stronger will than mine to resist his alluring ways. A bit larger in every way than most, he seemed a princely sort of being. His large, wistful brown eyes would melt a heart like so much butter in a hot frying pan in the middle of July. His hair was a reddish gold, catching the glint of the sun and shedding a radiance in every direction. It was very apparent that it was subject to much careful brushing. Mere words can never do him justice; the dictionary does not contain words adequate enough to touch upon describing him as he should be described. You will be prejudiced, no doubt. Anyone who has never seen him is inclined to be. You will make many and varied comments—all equally face- tious—to the effect that his amazingly gorgeous appearance must make him conceited, vain and arrogant. But you are wrong. His nature was and remains to be as sweet and sunny as that of a child. Not once during all the time that I knew him did he show his ugly side. I really don’t believe he has one. At the same time he is entirely free from egoism. He is as modest and unprepossessing as, well, let us say, Lindberg, for in him we presumably find ultimate modesty. You will say that in the secrecy of his own quarters he no doubt spends a great deal of his time preening and parading in front of the mirror. Wrong again! He scarcely ever gives it a thought and when he does, he appears terribly bored with what he sees there. You, then, will say that I am a victim of hero worship. I do not deny this charge. If the queer feeling I have around the region of my heart every time I think about him is a symptom of that disease—I am far past any chance of remedial cure. You will wonder why I rave and do nothing. That’s what I shall fore- close. I did do things but all to no avail. I established a firm friendship with him but inwardly I felt that did I not proceed more rapidly it would remain just a friendship. At last I saw an opportunity. The Kents, with whom he resided, were going away for two weeks. He was looking about for a place to stay during their absence for they could not take him with them. I hurried home to mother and unfolded my plot. I had hoped at least for indifference on her part, for I realized that I could never expect enthusiasm. I was totally abashed, therefore, when she looked at me with disapproval stamped plainly on all her features. Her answer to all my arguments was: “But he really belongs to Valerie Kent.” How absurd—I rebelled inwardly. He wasn’t bound to Val by any legal bonds. Just be- cause she’d known him longer than I, mother would insist that I should keep “hands off.” I fumed, I fretted and I argued. “What if he does?” I ques- tioned. “Well, I should rather say it were more her business and his than yours about where he shall stay while they’re away. He’s so big, too, he probably eats like a horse.” In vain did I plead and entreat. Her mind was made up and she refused to change it. My big opportunity was lost. Soon after that the Kents moved from town and he went with them. Due to mother, Gil and I were never more than friends and probably he’s forgotten that, but there will always be a place in my heart for him. You see, I’m not like mother—she can’t stand even the sight of collies! E. V. S. THE TALLY 53 S. H. S.

He restoreth my sorrow. He causeth me to work On hard theories for my grade’s sake. Yea, Though I study till midnight I shall gain no knowledge For, Gravity sore puzzles me, and Inertia and Density They distress me. He preparest a test for me in the Presence of the whole school; He givest me a low grade; My sorrow runneth over.
