THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, JUNE 7. 1915. 13 FOUR SENIORS DEFY EDUCATION BOARD Won't Attend Amityville Commencement Exercises, They Declare. NO CHANGE IN PROGRAMME.

Although Exercises Will be Held in Theater, Invocation and Benediction Won't be Omitted, (Special to The Eagle.) Amityville, L. June 7-The commencement exercises of the Amityville High School will be of practically the same character as those of former years, irrespective of the wishes of the Rev. Joseph F. Conway, pastor of Martin's R. C.

Church, who, in protesting against the manner of conducting exercises in past years, urges that the Board of Education have "plain public school exercises, without sermon, without invocation, without benediction." While the programme of the exercises has not been completed; it has been announced that the Rev. B. F. Gilman, pastor of the South M. E.

Church, will address the graduates, or as many of them as decide before June 21 that they will attend. The other three pastors in Amityville, the Rev. John Whiting Crowell, priest in charge of St. Mary's Episcopal Church; Rev. Smith, pastor of the Simpson M.

E. Church, and Father Conway, will be invited to attend the exercises as in former years and sit on the platform. In the event that even one of these clergymen accepts the board's invitation, which is more than probable, he will be called upon for invocation and benediction, two of the things that Father Conway objects to in school exercises. It is improbable that Father Conway will attend the exercises, as, according to Frank Wells, clerk of the School Board, he has been invited for the past three years and has never accepted. The Rev.

B. F. Gilman told a reporter of The Eagle yesterday that he does not intend to make any comment on the statement of Father Conway, as he does not consider the text of the statement to have any bearing on his position. He said that he ha.s never urged the holding of the graduating exercises in the South Church and has never volunteered his services as a speaker to the Board of Education, but sere willing to speak when asked. Four of the graduates who signed a letter telling the board that they would attend the exercises only to receive their diplomas have addressed still another communication, stating that they have reconsidered and will not attend.

These pupils are Adolph Pape, president of the class; Margaret Murray, Elsie Blythe and Laura Burch. This leaves the class "insurgents" divided equally on the subject. Henry Regelman, Doris Purdy, Mabel Erwood and Abbie Gosline have not renounced their promise to be present to receive their diplomas. Edwin Bailey, a Farmingdale has not committed himself, and Rose Shea, the member of St. Martin's Church who bolted when her classmates voted the exercises in the South Church, will attened.

Riverhead, L.

June 7-That haughty Riverhead baseball team that has leading the East End League with 1,000 per cent. had its pride humbled Saturday, when it lost to Cutchogue, 5-3, in a real hot game. What makes the defeat a little more galling, too, is the fact that it was a tailender that turned the trick. Although Riverhead still holds a place at the top of the column, it is not much more than a toe hold, for she must share this place with Greenport. When the Riverhead players landed on Cutchogue soil Saturday, it looked like another easy victory, but the Riverheaders frankly admit that they couldn't find Fleet's curves.

Three widely scattering hits, one in the first and two in the ninth, was all that he allowed them. Greenport beat Shelter Island, 19-2; Southold trimmed Sag Harbor, 4-0; Orient trimmed Mattituck, 11-9. And on this coming Saturday Greenport and Riverhead, old-time rivals in everything, will have a battle royal at Greenport to see which team shall occupy the coveted first place all alone again. Other games for Saturday are Shelter Island at Orient, Mattituck at Southold and Sag Harbor at Cutchogue. COMPLETE MAP OF CENTRAL PARKWAY Highway Will Extend From Forest Park to Nassau County Line.

Johnston Sees New Progressive Spirit Growing. CITES NEEDS OF VILLAGE. Suggests Beach Park and Playground. Commends Civic Club and Board of Trade. (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L.

June is no mistaking that Patchogue has a grip on progress," remarked the Rev. Louis H. Johnston, last night, in his sermon on "The Patchogue Spirit." "I don't know exactly what has changed it since I came here a few years agowhether the people have taken a more positive position, whether the live factors in the community have stirred things up, or whether The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, has always taken a stand for advancement, has vivich been the cause of this new progressive spirit; nevertheless, it exists," said Pastor Johnston. "The spirit -togetherness' seems to have appeared, and a large percentage of the people have taken it up. The Civic Club is a young organization, but I heartily commend, as all others will, their work in estabthe effective good done by their 'clean lishing in the village a rest room, and up' campaign.

Another organization, the Board of Trade, is sending out circulars advertising Patchogue. Both are making our village cosmopolitan. "I understand we are going to have a parade on the Fourth of July. Cooperation seems to be our greatest need. If some of you can give, give; if some of you can march, march; or if some of you only can stand on the corner and clap your hands, do that.

We need to cultivate the spirit of patriotism, similar to that of foreign countries. "In Patchogue, everything seems to be waking up, even the preachers. There are larger possibilities for us; not that we need to become a city, but we can improve. We need a place where all classes can congregate. Patchogue ought to have a park before all of the beach is bought.

We require a playground and a manager to take charge of all public functions and to establish the right kind of sports among the younger generation. It will repay the community SE well. "The spirit for all this progress is here; and we have the men to make this a success; all that is necessary to accomplish this now. It's here, but we need a spark to start it. That which stands still, decays, but the restlessness within Patchogue is proof we are alive in the roots, and only require a little sunshine to make the plant blossom in its fullness.

If you don't do it now it will take twenty years before another crest appears on your wave. As Germans say, let us make make Patchogue have a place in the sun."

The present church is entirely too small for the increase that has come to the parish during the past few years.

The general plan of the reconstruction was outlined by rector, the Rev. Charles Gibney. The front of the church will be of a purely Gothic character and will contain two towers. Between these towers will be a handsome new rose window, 13 by 18 feet, depicting the Nativity. The choir loft and belfry, with a new set of chimes, will be installed in the east tower and the entrance to the new baptistry will be through the tower on the west end.

The old sanctuary wall will be removed and an addition of 40 feet made, which will give 12 feet additional to the sanctuary with two new sacristies and a meeting room for the various societies connected with the church. The front and sides of the church will be of Indiana limestone. The interior will be redecorated and the floors and wainscoting will be of marble. There will be three new marble altars, with the communion rail are the pulpit also of marble. The new church will contain ninety windows, all donated by the church organizations.

The window over the main altar will represent Our Lady of Mount Carmel presenting the scapular to St. Simon. In the main body of the church the windows will represent the twelve Apostles. In the cloister there will be some fortyeight windows, which will be emblematic of "The Passion of Our Lord and the Sorrows of Mary, His Mother." The main altar will be of marble with the "Last Supper" in the table of the altar. dome over this altar will be surmounted by two angels sculptured in marble, with golden trumpets in their hands.

The parish now has a membership numbering 5,000. There are six masses each Sunday. There is at present a seating capacity for 800. but when the alterations are completed there will be seats for over 1,300. The alterations will be completed about Christmas.
