MISS FLORENCE RAPALLO

You loved Life and served it, too---
Not for what it held for you---
But by your faith in everyone---
Mother, Daughter, Father, Son.

You loved Life --- filled each minute
With the finest living in it.
To have known you even slightly
Was incentive to live rightly.

Class Poem

	Now at last has come the time When the class of '29 Knowing Life for it is starting Feels the sadness of this parting. Thinking back on joys and sorrows--- Not so sure of our to-morrows--- Wishing, now the die is cast, We had tried more in the past. So to all we hold most dear Please accept our parting cheer. Each of us will bear in mind Friends and places left behind.

Class History

	When our class entered the Junior High School to become the Seventh Grade there were thirty-two members. Our ranks have been thinned until now we number only 4 boys and 9 girls --- not thirteen. One of our first public efforts was the presentation of an Assembly which was based on our work in science and which proved to be a great success. At the Annual Costume Dance our class came into the lime-light again, --- one of its members winning the Grand Prize. Our Eighth Grade year found us settling down as respect-able members of the High School. Several of the boys and girls represented us on the Varsity teams. Our class teams were strong too. There were twenty-four of us. As Ninth Graders the nineteen of us did our best to keep up a high standard. Again we were well represented on the various teams and did our share of school work, too. Several times someone from our class led the school with the highest average. We who remain to graduate wish to extend our hearty thanks to all those who have helped us toward our goal.

James Oakley

	The Junior High School Activities Association was organiz-ed in 1920 chiefly through the efforts of Grover Schneider and George Denault. Meetings are held at least once a month at which time such things as are of interest to the student body or the welfare of the school are brought up, discussed and, if nec-essary, voted on by the Association members. New officers are elected at the beginning of the school year. Shortly after this the following committees are chosen which function throughout the year: Executive, Athletic, Finance, Soc-ial, Publicity, Assembly and Music. Each committee meets once a week to discuss those things which come under its direction and at the monthly meeting a full report of its activities is made by its chairman.

Football Season

	The 1928 football season was a success as far as good spirit and effort is concerned, but in the matter of games won, it was not so impressive. Mr. Stone, our new coach, was pleased with the showing of the team considering the material available and feels that they did all that could be expected in the face of the heavy opposition. The team had to be built almost entirely from inexperienced material. Next year the outlook should be a little brighter although "Johnny" Maczko and "Al" Reeves, last year's outstanding play-ers, will be lost through graduation.

Field Hockey

	Although our girls have played field hockey among them-selves for the past three seasons, this is the first year we have played an outside team. Millbrook took up the sport last fall and we engaged them in an informal series, the majority of which we won. We are hoping for the organization of more teams in the neighboring schools. If our hopes are realized, 1929 should see a great deal of activity in this good sport.

Boys' Basket-ball Season

	Under a new policy begun this year three teams were or-ganized. This was done with the idea that another year more experienced material would be at hand for Coach Stone to work with. Because of this and the bad roads which made outside games almost impossible, only a few of the scheduled games were staged. A return series engaging three teams was played against the Poughkeepsie Y.M.C.A. Juniors, all of which we lost. Our first team defeated Oakwood School in a fast game. Disappointing as the season was, the outlook for next year is unusually bright.

Girls' Basket-ball

	At the beginning of the season which opened rather early, Rose Morgan was chosen captain and Elsie Boehnel manager. The material for this year's team was unusually good and a well balanced team was developed by Miss Preische. A long sched-ule had been arranged but the majority of these were with four year High Schools or Clubs. By winning two of the six games played and considering the older and heavier teams met, the season was a success. In spite of close defeats the teams show-ed fine sportsmanship and are to be heartily congratulated. Several games were cancelled due to the "flu" epidemic.

Baseball, 1928

	The baseball season was a very successful one, the team winning three out of four. Our only defeat came at the hands of the Kent School Juniors. This game was featured by a long home run made by one of the Kent boys. This was the only home run made from Reeves who deserves much of the credit for the season's success because of his splendid pitching. Pawling proved to be our first victims. This defeat served to lessen the trouncing in football they inflicted on us the pre-vious season. Canterbury was defeated twice in close games to close the season.

The Fair

	Our annual Fair was held early in October and was a great success. Each year has seen a "bigger and better" one and this year was no exception. Some changes were undertaken which in the future should make it still better. All of the heads of de-partments worked well together under the efficient leadership of "Johnny" Maczko who, because he is president of the J.H.S. A.A., is also Fair "Chief." The school exhibited in the assembly and made a very attractive display. The Union Vale Grange also had an attractive stand. Because of the excellence of both the School and the Com-munity Life exhibits, the judges decided to award a Grand Prize to each.

The Band

	The Band was organized in September of 1928. Its first public appearance occurred in the school during assembly. Several months later it surprised everyone by presenting a dance and concert A trip to Millbrook to play at the Millbrook fair was fol-lowed by a trip to Mt. Kisko. Then followed a period of inactivity. For various reasons Mr. Buckton, the band master, did not make his regular week-ly trips and to everyone's disappointment it seemed the band was gradually dying out. However, this impression was soon dispelled when Mr. Buckton resumed his usual visits. It is pro-gressing rapidly now and has great hope for the future.

"Rhetoricals"

	The playlet "Sir David Little Boy" was selected for the annual play, the cast of which was chosen entirely from this year's graduating class. It is a sequel to "Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil" which was presented in 1927. The judges are asked to select that member of the cast whose enunciation, pronunciation and interpretation are the best. The prize, a very fine watch, was won by Rose Hallenbeck. Evelyn Miller was judged second.

The Quarterly

	In November 1927 a competition was held to pick a staff to edit a Hope Farm paper. Students of the Junior High School wrote articles on any subject they chose. At last the winners were announced. Eight promising "cubs" were selected to get out the first Quarterly. Its first issue appear-ed in March 1928, which proved to be such a success that it was considered worth while to continue its publication. Since then the Quarterly has come out regularly. Each issue sees 3500 copies distributed. From time to time prizes have been awarded for especially deserving poetical efforts as well as original stories.

Glee Club Concert

	This year because we had no regular music teacher, the boys' and girls' Glee Clubs, comprising about eighty voices, were united. After many rehearsals the annual concert was presented on April 13th. Because of the large number partici-pating the stage could not be used and the program was pre-sented from the assembly floor under the balcony opposite the stage. The space was arranged like a large living room with floor lamps, rugs, chairs, couches, benches and, of course, a piano. In these surroundings the singers almost forgot that they were the "actors" and enjoyed the evening as much (possibly more) than the audience. The program included such songs as "House by the Side of the Road," "Songs My Mother Taught Me," "Bells of Shandon," "Sleepy Time," "Song of the Vikings," a group of popular selections and several others.

Hallowe'en Party

	The annual Hallowe'en party was held in the school audi-torium. There was dancing, ducking for apples and, last but not least, cider and refreshments. The music for dancing was furnished by radio until no more could be tuned in. Miss Hasbrouck as usual came to the rescue by playing the piano.

Costume Dance

	The Costume dance was held on November 18th. This is an event that is much looked forward to by everyone. Each person was required to come dressed to represent some char-acter from a book or play. This year each in turn appeared through an immense open-ing in a book that had been built on the stage and portrayed the character that he or she represented. Mary Klein and "Randy" Semon were the prize winners.

Valentine Dance

	The Valentine dance was held on February 11th. The evening began with dancing. Following this valentines were distributed and refreshments were served. During the in-termission the pantomime "Pierrot and Pierrette" was present-ed. After a few more dances the party ended all too soon.
