ALL THAT DRAMA! By Jen (Vanston) Marin, Class of 1990
Performed by students who were born circa 1912, this is about the 1930 SHS production of "The Whole Town's Talking".
The play entitled “The Whole Town’s Talking” was performed in 1930 by students of Sayville High School. This marks one of the earliest occasions to view an authentic photograph of the cast, as it was featured in the yearbook of that year. We have digitized, improved, and subtly colorized the cast photograph, resulting in a commendable outcome.
It is noteworthy that the majority of these students were born circa 1912.
