A few will go on to halls of higher learn- ing, but a great many, unable to do this, find themselves about to face the serious problem of earning a living. We are unfortunate in the conditions with which we must cope, but we are thankful for the adequate training we have received for this purpose. Perhaps to you we have seemed to take life too easy, to spend our time foolishly and to miss the point and meaning in our school life. Really, however, year by year, we have gradually absorbed some of that seriousness and meaning, and as the four years drew to a close, wo have wished that we might relive some of those preceding years and do a little hotter by our- selves and our teachers. And now, as we sing our swan song, we wish to hand down a little ser- ious advice—not because we feel that we have always done the right thing but because we know wo’ve made mistakes and want you to avoid them and have your class get a little more fun and a little more benefit out of your education—stick out your four years in High School and do each day’s work well. Make a habit of success in High School that will stay with you in life. ELLEN VAN BRUNT. THE LAST FLARE 9 Salutatory Members of the Board of Education, Faculty, Parents and Friends: Four years ago we entered High School. We little realized how quickly and happily the time would pass. Now, we have reached our goal and can look back. We see that without you we should never have been able to come so far. You have helped us in our work and in all our undertakings. You provided us with everything necessary for our success. You made our Washington trip possible. Therefore, we, the Class of '32, bid you a sincere welcome. MARGARET HUBBARD. Valedictory During our four years in the. Southampton High School, we have often looked forward to these graduation exercises. The long awaited event has come, but it does not bring all the joy we had expected. We regret having to leave this school which holds such happy memories for us all. Tonight we bring our school days to a close, and we find ourselves facing the future. It is as though a door had suddenly opened, and as we stand on the threshold, we see the bright future stretching out before us. We feel that through the instruction received here we are well equipped to cope with the struggles ahead. We give our heartfelt thanks to the Board of Education, Mr. Sabine, the faculty, and our friends who have done so much for us during our school years.

Howard Crutchley—Q. Where can I replenish my supply of wise-cracks. A. There is nothing more expressive at times than silence� . Howdy. Alice Robinson—Such a lasting romance is unbecoming to one of your tender years, Alice. John L;nd-—Q. Is it true that I have little gray matter? A. If brains were� ink, sad to say, John, you wouldn’t have enough to dot an i.” Edith Wood—“The good die young.” Here’s hoping you live to a ripe old age, Edith. Edward Malmrose—Q...Do I really step rather heavily? A. You certainly do, Eddie, and as a reminder, rubber heels help that. Grace Phillips—Well, I’m cenainly glad to find one Senior, Grace, who doesn’t keep the neighbors up by late home-comings. Frand Wodjewode—Q. .Should I venture into a love affair? A. “ ’Tis better to have lived and loved than to never have lived at all.” Frances Raynor—Q. Are my dramatic abilities highly esteemed? A. Yes, but is gum-chewing the only exercise you could find to improve your speaking capacity? Jack M'.ller—Is your motto “A slam in time saves nine� ?” Remember it doesn’t take any more time to boost a man than to knock him, Jack. Frances Ellis—You’re quite an optimist, Frances, but remember that optimism is only worry on a spree. Jack Doering—Why not drop around sometime, Jack, just to see what’s going on around the school? It might burn down one of these days before you’ve found out what it’s all about. Zigment Szczubelec—Close your mouth, Zigment, that gaping expres- sion is very unattractive. Dorothy Hedges—Q. How could I go over bigger? A. Buy a book on “How to Go Out with Two Men at One Time,” and learn how to do it and still keep both men. Albert Martin—Q. Am I destined to be a great baseball player? A. Not unless you get a glove with a hole in it, Albert. Elizabeth Brodie—Just two words for you, Miss Brodie, be natural. Tululiah Ashman-- It’s too bad, Tut, that some of the others in S. H. S. wouldn’t practice your example of good-naturedness. Nellie Bennett—Q. Have. I really a sunny temperament? A. That beaming smile is very pleasing, Nellie, but a frown would re- lieve the monotony—just to show it isn’t painted on. Henry de Groot—Q. Will I ever achieve, my ambition? A. With another hit like “Two Lips in Tulip Time,” Henry, you’ll be on the way. Betty Jessup—I see that there are several complaints against your ir- repressible squeals, Betty. Just to relieve them a bit, why not try some 3 in 1 oil. Elizabeth Smith—Everybody’s seen the “boy friend” by now, Liz__ you can park in less conspicuous places. Margaret Hubbard—Your vocal abilities are much appreciated, Mar- garet, but must you make them so terribly evident? Helen Zavestoski—Q. How may I reduce? THE LAST FLARE 25 THE JUNIOR RESPONSE—Continued bicycle goes a long way for that purpose, Helen, and at the same time takes you farther than walking on Sundays. Mildred Pavelec-—Your sense of humor is very welcome around these halls of learning, Mildred. Don’t be so stingy with it and let your class- mates hear more of it. Rita Hurley—Ah!

Only one othei' person, Miss Nokes, and that appears to be you. Jack Sabine—Q. Shall I get what I want from life? A. Just keep on as you’ve started, Jack; that high pressure salesmanship of yours certainly brought about results in the May Queen election. Ethel Bailey—Q. Will people ever realize the fact that I’m present? A. Not until you cause some disturbance. Talking instead of whisper- ing, or even yelling, or running, would create a bit of sensation just to begin with. Fred Elliston—Even though you are rather small, Fred, why not give the High School girls a break instead of the little girls who still wear hair ribbons? They’re just dying to go out with you. Doris Havens—Q. Have you any suggestion for my betterment? A. It’s only a case of “Speak for yourself, John,” with you, Doris. Try going somewhere just for a change without that shadow continually by your side. Herbert Greene—Q. Would the people here appreciate my girl friend? A. Herbert Green, they have heard enough about ho.r to like her, but why not bring her around and find out, or is it that your pockets are too small to get your hands into? Esther Bishop—Q. What do people think about me? A. Clothes make the woman, Esther, so for Heaven's sake learn how to wear them. Harris Dimon—Instead of wasting your time, good looks and gas in Southampton, why not go to Hollywood and convince Clark Gable that his good looks are wasted when you’re around? (Catherine Ward—Q. Are my eyebrows shaved becomingly? A. Positively no, Katherine, they add to that vacant expression. A-h-h, much as I hate to tell you here, do learn to conduct yourself properly in public. Chester Napiorski—Q. How can I better my athletic ability? A. Learn to play soccer, Ski, and coach the girls’ team. Irene Smith—Q. How can I improve my track? A. I think the 18-day diet would be as good as any, Irene. Stanley Musnicki—The only fault to be found in your track methods, Stosh, is that you run too long in one spot. Genevieve Brusdoski—You must reign in this magnetic personality of yours. I hear that even windows fall and go to pieces under your spell. Mahala Cook—Weare indeed chagrined! What is this we hear about you bribing an innocent taxi-driver to gather cherry blossoms for you in the dead of the night? Can it be true? Walter Cosgrove—Q. When will people realize that I’ve grown up? A. Now that you’re allowed to smoke in the house, Cozzy, there’s little doubt that you haven’t. Lucille Monselle—I am really glad to see that your present swain is an inmate of this most noble High School. It’s so much more practical to just run your car around home, too, isn’t it? Clement O’Connor—Q. How can I become popular in S. H. S.? A. Little boys should be seen and not heard. Ellen Van Brunt—Q. When will I get over being stoop-shouldered? A. Ellen Van Brunt—Oh, yes, Ellen; this may hurt but certainly not 26 THE LAST FLARE We Leave You — Finding the Senior Class rich in many outstanding charcteristics and finding a lack of these said traits in the under classmen, we leave Jack Miller’s ability to invent fabulous stories to John Herrick Ray Moore’s success with the ladies to Arthur Guldi.

You have years yet--. Edna Tooker—Q. Are the reports I’ve heard concerning a certain person true? A. Gossips are the spies of life, Ena. THE LAST FLARE 27 George Washington—American “He might have been king!” These words have been applied to the Father of the great American Nation. Washington not only “might have been king,” but actually was a king in his own impressive, yot simple way. The effect of his character upon other men has been tremendous, influencing rich and poor alike. On the 22d of February, 1732, this great American first saw the world in the. old Washington homestead on Bridges Creek, Virginia. The house commanded a beautiful view of the lazy Potomac, and it was here that George founded his great love for the broad, friendly river. Soon, however, Au- gustine Washington moved his little family to an estate in Stafford County, opposite. Fredericksburg. Here George spent most of his early childhood, receiving such rudiments of education as the little neighborhood could afford. His elder brother, who supposedly would be the future head of the family, returned from his education in England when the younger lad was but seven or eight years of age. A strong bond of friendship and under- standing immediately sprang up between the two brothers. Lawrence looked upon the youngster with rather a protecting eye and greatly admired the child’s intelligence; George looked up to his manly, cultivated brother with great respect and as an example to be closely followed. As time went on, conditions in the Washington family circle altered. The father died, distributing his possessions wc.ll among his children. Law- rence was given the beautiful estate on the Potomac, later named Mount Vernon; George was given the house and lands on the Rappahannock. Daily the. mother read to her little flock worthwhile lessons about religion and morality. Her teachings sank deeply into George’s mind and greatly influ- enced his later life. Washington proved to be a self-disciplinarian in both mental and physi- cal matters. By copying into a volume all forms of legal and mercantile papers, throughout his life, he had a lawyer’s skill in drafting documents and an exactness in keeping his accounts. He excelled in all sports because of his powerful physique. Young Washington frequently visited his brother at Mount Vernon and while here he. came into familiar contact with the Honorable William Fairfax, Lawrence’s father-in-law, who lived just a few miles from the Washington estate. A great friendship began between the American youth and the English gentleman. It was probably the association with his brother and his European friends that caused him to conduct himself well in company and, later, to write a series of rules on morals and manners, which exists to this day. During these visits at Mount Vernon, a few of Lawrence’s former com- rades of his old regiment, who had been with him in the West Indies, occa- sionally came to see him. Sometimes a British vessel would anchor on the broad Potomac and the master of Mount Vernon would gladly welcome the officers and men. Their stories exerted such an influence over the life of young Washington that at the age of fourteen he desired to become a sailor. His brother and Mr. Fairfax both encouraged him in this and, after a great deal of persuasion, Mary Washington finally consented that her own eldest son should live his life at sea. A midshipman’s warrant was secured and some of the boy’s luggage placed aboard a man-of-war on the river before the mother finally faltered. It was an eleventh-hour decision; her son’s daily love and devotion meant more to her than any fame he might gain in a number of sea battles. Mary Washington could not endure having her son so completely separated from her, subject to such a dangerous pro- fession; George must remain at home to be the head and protector of her little flock. Thus ended George Washington’s desire for a sea-life. While, he con- tinued his schooling, he became extremely fond of surveying. There was 28 THE LAST FLARE GEORGE WASHINGTON—AMERICAN—Continued always a perseverance� , a completeness, and exactness in his work; he was never careless and never did his work by halves. The mother had early taught her son the “magic of method.” Washington’s schooling and lessons in self-mastery were soon to bear fruit. In this lad, Lord Fairfax saw the person whom he wanted to survey his huge tracts of land along the ridges of the Alleghenies. No sooner was the proposition offered to young Washington than it was eagerly accepted. rl he task was done with such a thoroughness that the young man was later made public surveyor, through the influence of Lord Fairfax. These sur- veys of Washington’s have been found to be so exact that they have com- manded credit in all cases . During these surveying days, the young man gained such knowledge of the Indians and of life in the open that he was late� r chosen by Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia to carry a message across the mountains to the French—a really difficult mission. Then came the French and Indian War in which young Washington began his career as a soldier. Everyone knows how bravely the young American fought that day in the forest when General Braddock and the British troops were so disastrously defeated. His bravery, self-reliance, keen judgment, and perseverance were shown throughout the entire war. The time soon came for the Stamp Act, the military demonstration in Boston, and finally the battles at Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill, and Ticonderoga. Every patriot of the American cause knew that there� was only one man fit to lead the American forces. Therefore, on July 2d, 1775, George Washington assumed command of the Continental Army at Cam- bridge� , Massachusetts, amid the din and rattle of drums and the wild shout- ing of the people. In undertaking this tremendous task, he sacrificed not only the pleasant home-atmosphere and activities at Mount Vernon, but he even dedicated his life, to winning American liberty. His was the seemingly impossible task of cre-ating an army out of the most ragged, crude, and in- experienced forces the human mind can possibly imagine. John Adams wrote to Elbridge Gerry: “There is something charming to me in the conduct of Washington. A gentleman of one of the first fortunes upon the conti- nent, leaving his delicious retirement, his family and friends, sacrificing his ease and hazarding all in the cause, of his country.” Washington met many discouragements. He had expected to find the same steadfastness and determination in his followers as in himself. There- fore., when periods of enlistment expired and soldiers began to be eager to leave the army, the commander became somewhat disappointed and dis- couraged, but never once did he regret leaving Mount Vernon and his be- loved Virginia for the patriot cause. His heart and soul were in the great struggle. At one time he wrote: “Congress has added to my embarrassments, inasmuch as it gives me powers without the means of execution.” He could not get the necessary men or supplies, and, during the horrible winter at Valley Forge, the American army would have been completely annihilated had it not been for the resistance and judicious management of the able, leader. The war slowly dragged to its end. At all times Washington’s great strength of character dominated over all men. He won the independence for the American colonies not so much by what he did as by what he was. It has been stated that the fact that Washington was willing to accept a seat in the Constitutional Convention was the decisive fact which secured the appointment of delegates from every State except Rhode Island, that Wash- ington’s presidency averted failure in its work. The people believed in his wisdom, honesty, and faithfulness to the whole cause. So much faith was placed in this great man that some one suggested that he be made king. At once the General was aghast, thunderstruck to think that, after fighting eight whole years against the tyranny of a king, the American people were THE LAST FLARE 29 Senior Will Dorothy Bailey—Having noticed your unhealthy pallor, we think some good old mashed potatoes will do the trick.

E.—Why yes, who is this? M.—This is Mahala, Edna. E.—Mahala Cook! Where have you been the last five years? M.—You’ll die when I tell you, but I’ve been in Africa. E.—Africa? M.—Yes. When I went to New York, I met Hildreth Rogers down at the Battery with a butterfly net over his shoulder all set for an expedition to Africa (he’s a great naturalist, you know), and when he saw me, he told me to grab a typewriter and come along as his secretary. E.—How exciting! M.—Exciting! I’ll say it was! We were captured by cannibals, and if it hadn’t been for Skee and Herbie Greene, we would have been boiled in oil. E.—Skee and Herbie? M.—Yes. They’re doing missionary work down there among the can- nibals. E.—Why, I didn’t know that. You must come and see me and tell me all your experiences. Can’t you come to dinner tonight? Russ would love to have you come. _ M.—Oh, I’m awfully sorry. I have a dinner date with Jack Miller. He wants to take me to the Rainbow Club to hear John Lind’s Orchestra. He says John has a wonderful orchestra, and the entertainers are always good. E.—Oh, yes. Russ and I went there with A1 Robinson and Claude Sanford about six weeks ago, right after they returned from their honey- moon. The night I was there Katherine Warde and Frances Raynor gave a song and dance act. They’re acting in Elliston’s Follies now. Fred re- cently bought out Ziegfeld. You know Walt Cosgrove is proprietor of the Rainbow Club. M.—Yes, Jack told me so. Where did A1 go on her honeymoon? E.—She traveled all over Europe and when she was in Paris she saw Eddie Malmrose. He’s a pilot in the French air mail. His wife, Dot Hedges, is a famous opera star. M.—Well, I must dress for dinner. I’ll see you soon. E.__Couldn’t you get Jack and come over and play bridge tomorrow evening? You know these lawyers are clever bridge players. I’ll get A1 and Claude and Lefty and Ellen, too. Ellen can leave the children with their nurse, Nellie Bennett. , M.__Oh, I’d love to. I’m sure Jack would, too. Thank you very much. E.—I’ll see you tomorrow night then. M.—All right. Good-by.

First it was a chorus girl named Rita Hurley, then a school teacher named Lucille Monselle. Last month he was run over by one of Stanley Musnicki’s chauf- feurs, Albert Martin. He was taken to the hospital and fell in love with his nurse, a girl named Be.tty Jessup. Right now he’s engaged to an artist named Doris Havens. E.—Where are you calling from, Jack? J.—Pm at the restaurant run by Genevieve Brudoski and Helen Zavis- toski. One of their waiters, Harris Dimon, just spilled a plate of soup down my neck, too. E.—Is your wife, with you, Jack? I haven’t seen Elizabeth Brodie in two years. J.—No. Elizabeth plays in the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra now, and she couldn’t get away. She’s living with Spike O’Connor and his wife until I get back. Spike’s a big banker in Philadelphia, you know. E.—Yes, I know. Let’s see, Spike married Edith Wood, didn’t he? J.—Yeah. The night they graduated from High School. Well, I suppose I’d better look up Ray and see that he doesn’t overeat. E.—Well, you and Raymond come and see us, won’t you? J.—Sure will. Well, so long. E.—Good-by. (Hangs up. She has scarcely taken up her book when the. phone rings again.) E.—Oh, that phone! (speaking into phone) Hello. This is Edna speaking. Edna Tooker—Hello, Edna. This is Edna Tooker. E.—Why I thought you were abroad. E. T.—Oh, I got tired of Europe, so I came home. Of course you re- member Jack Doering, Eddie Blumenkranz and Frank Wowjewoda? Well, I saw them and they’ve just compounded a chemical theory. I don’t know what it’s all about, but it’s something astounding, I know. E.—Is that so? I remember they were always interested in science. E. T.—And in Italy I saw Grace Phillips, Ethel Bailey and Mildred Pavelec. They’re making a world-wide tour talking on the preservation of ants and earthworms. E.—How interesting! E. T.—Isn’t it? I met several of our former classmates. Alice Gray has a beauty salon in Paris. And on the way homo on the boat I heard Alice Roche and Elizabeth and Irene Smith broadcast over the radio. E.—Oh yes, they’ve been broadcasting for a couple of months. E. T.—Esther Bishop and Tut Ashman have a gymnasium in New York. I met Frances Ellis as I came off the pier. She was on her way to the gym then. She’s trying to cut down her weight—getting in condition for the shorthand contest to be held next week. Some of the best shorthand students in the country are. entered. There’s a grand prize of $5,000 for the winner, offered by Margaret Hubbard. You know her husband, Howard Crutchley, made several millions in oil stock. She—(a wail is heard off stage). E.—Oh, pardon me. The children are crying. I’ll see. you soon. Good-by. (She hangs up and exits.) Jean Havens: Doris, why are you feeding Vina yeast? Doris: Ah, she swallowed my dime and I’m trying to raise the dough. Coach: Foul. Howard Doering: Where are. the feathers? Coach: This is a picked team, Freshie. THE LAST FLARE 33 Class History In the year 1928 the Senior High School was both pleased and delighted to see what a jolly band of Freshmen there were. With Jack Miller as our class president and Mr. Baxter, our advisor, we succeeded in earning $100 by the sale of magazines. This was just a slight example of the abilities we had. During the first year we made many contributions—to music, athletics, and dramatics. Our Sophomore year was as successful as our Freshman. This year Edith Wood was our guide and stay. Mr. Baxter honored us by being our advisor again. The second year was quite uneventful and stepped by before we knew, but we managed to accomplish a great deal in a remunerative way. September 5, 1931, came round soon and once more we were back in the halls of S. H. S., but this time with more responsibilities. We were now Juniors, and the success of our Washington trip depended on this year. Without Miss Schrader’s and Jack Doering’s able help we probably wouldn’t have made, out as well as we did. By holding cake sales, dances, and selling tickets for different entertainments, we had a goodly sum at the end of the year. At last we were Seniors, with all the dignity and superiority that one of such standing should have. Washington did not seem quite so far away as it had in former years. We settled down to money-making in a big way. It was hard work, but no one minded it. Finally, by Eeaster, we were ready for the greatly anticipated trip to Washington. Mr. Sabine and Miss Blythe were a great help to us, both in raising money and on the trip. Dorothy Hedges was our capable president. After Washington everyone settled down to study for exams, then came graduation. Thus ended four perfect years at Southampton High School. BETTY JESSUP.
