SAG HARBOR
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
June 14 – June 20, 1926

Main Street from the Liberty Pole to the Civil War monument was a blaze of color with a profession of flags, banners, and streamers strung across the thoroughfare, and electric light poles decorated with national colors. Merchants were also decorating their shop windows in preparation for Old Home Week, to celebrate the Sesquicentennial of American Independence and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Old Home Week was scheduled to begin on Monday, June 28 and continue until July 5.

The students of the Academy of the Sacred Heart of Mary had an enjoyable afternoon at commencement exercises at the academy hall on Sunday, June 20. The Reverend Father Waters of St. Andrew’s Church delivered the address to the graduates. His remarks were brief, to the point, packed with common sense and eloquent in their simplicity. He also bestowed diplomas and gold medals to the grammar school and high school graduates.

The Masonic Club gave a dinner to the members of the cast of the Barbary Pirates at Lily Pond House on Thursday, June 17. Covers were laid for 90 guests. It was a cosmopolitan crowd, with members of high school and college mixing with the younger married set. The dining room was decorated with June flowers with roses at each table. The dinner was most daintily served, and each dish was the height of perfection.

'Whatever Lola Wants' will be performing at the party, if you haven’t seen them before, now is your chance!
Whatever Lola Wants is the East End’s very own youthful American Songbook and Jazz trio. They aim to unite the community through the power of music and by authentically resurfacing timeless tunes that speak to love & humanity.
The titular vocalist, Lola Lama, is a local actor, singer, and performer. With beginnings at Sag Harbor Elementary and Pierson, Lama recently earned a BFA in Drama from the New Studio on Broadway at NYU Tisch. She also received training at the Experimental Theatre Wing at NYU, Atlantic Acting School, and Interlochen Arts Academy. In addition to Whatever Lola Wants, Lama is the lead singer of the local multi-generational female-centric 80s Rock band, The Cherry Bombs.
On keys and additional vocals is 17-year-old NYC and East End-based singer/songwriter Matthew Brand. Starting piano lessons at only four years old, Brand is a true virtuoso, having just graduated from Mannes School of Music and kicking off a new chapter at NYU’s esteemed Clive Davis Institute. More accolades include writing a Piano Concerto that he premiered at Carnegie Hall, hosting an annual Charity Rock Concert at Horace Mann named “UrbanAid,” and music directing Voices for Change.
Bassist Dylan Hewett is a fellow Pierson graduate and local musician with a Bachelor’s degree in Music from Gettysburg College. Hewett has experience playing with several East-End bands on both electric and upright bass. To name a few, the Lynn Blue Band, Wood Dog, and the Jack Marshall Trio. Last Summer, Dylan had the chance to play with legendary musician Ed Sheeran at Rosie’s Amagansett.
