Glen Cove juniors swing into the Roaring ‘20s

Posted

Glen Cove High School juniors in Allison Butler’s classes embraced the Roaring ’20s late last month. They toured Oheka Castle in Huntington, where they learned about its history, took dashing photos, and enjoyed a formal tea with their peers. The castle was just the right opulent setting to mark the students’ conclusion of reading F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby.”

Students started their day by viewing their classmates’ research papers and display boards on the 1920s, which were exhibited in the cafeteria during first period. Butler’s student Andrew Wonska serenaded students with a violin solo, and Melissa Johnides’ photography class served as unyielding paparazzi.
