Soph Class Holds Tea for Parents

Mothers See "Cindere l la , " Meet Teachers Dec. 21

O n December 21 the Sophomore students ente r ta ined the i r parents of w h o m seventy-f lve mothers were present w i t h an i n f o r m a l tea I n the cafeter ia o f th i s school.

Before en te r ing the l u n c h r o o m they wl tnessd the assembly p r o g r a m given o n t h a t same a f t e rnoon . The assembly e n t e r t a i n m e n t was f u r -nished by the pan tom ime classes, who presented "C indere l l a , " a dance I n t e rp r e t a t i on i n three acts. T h i s rec i ta l was d i rec ted by Miss Bonn ie H a w t h o r n e .

A f t e r t h i s presenta t ion t h e m o -thers were served tea, cookies, a n d cakes by Marge ry H a l l a n d Sh i r l ey Thompson , the two g ir ls w h o acted as hostesses. T h e G i r l s ' Glee C lub then completed the a f t e rnoon by s ing ing carols.

The purpose o f t h i s get- together was for the parents to become ac-qua in ted w i t h t h e var ious teachers a n d to discuss the methods of the school.

Discuss Different Types; Formulate Schedule

A l t h o u g h the assembly programs I n f o rmer years have l>een cons id-ered very successful f r o m a benef i -c ia l and in te res t ing s tandpo in t , a facu l ty commit tee was appo inted r e -cent ly to invest igate and see i f t h e programs could not be made more general In scope.

The mat t e r of assembly programs was presented by the commit tee to the whole facul ty a t a recent meet-ing . M a n y suggestions were g i ven as to how th i s genera l i zat ion could be accomplished. I t was po in ted out t h a t F r iday was no t the most a d -vantageous t ime for assemblies; and It was. Uierefore. suggested t h a t the programs be presented on a d i f f e r -en t day each week and d u r i n g a d i f f e rent per iod each t ime .

A n o t h e r po in t was t h a t the assem-blies should no t only be e n t e r t a i n -ing b u t educat ional as welt . Th i s could be p a r t i a l l y accompl ished I f

. each school section, t h a t Is each home room group and each depar t -m e n t group, wou ld be responsible for one assembly program. Unde r th i s p l a n a great many more pup i l s wou ld par t ic ipate , as we l l as a greater number o f l«achers.

The quest ion was raised concern-ing special assemblies, f t was agreed t h a t c e r ta in special p rograms were desirable f r o m a c u l t u r a l s tandpo in t . I t was also suggested t h a t on ly cer ta in groups were Interested i n cer ta in types of en t e r t a inment . The question was raised as to whe the r those no t interested should be c o m -pel led to a t t end . Po ints were pre -sented on bo th sides, and the ques-t i on Is s t i l l under considerat ion.

The musica l assemblies were very popular w i t h the students t h i s t e r m , especially the " c o m m u n i t y smgs." I t was therefore suggested t i i a t s im i l a r programs be f o rmu la t ed , T l i e need for new music iMoks was then raised, a n d a commit tee was appo inted to decide oa t h e best books for such use.

I n c o n j u n c t i o n w i t h the preceding ideas, the f o l l ow ing schedule has t>een f o rmu la t ed for the remainder of the t e r m :

Vol. XIV , No. 12 January 7, 1938

Your Privilege Have you ever stopped to figure out how much time

you spend on actual studying? Only one seventh of your week is set aside for school and its activities. Make the best of that small part of the day earnestly and whole-heartedly devote yourself to your education. Start class immediately after the buzzer sounds and continue your work up to the last part of the class. Don't waste the first fifteen minutes of class and wish away the last ten. Use fifty minutes of each fifty minute period.

Education is a privilege which is generously granted to al l people of this free country. B y means of education, the standards of this country have been raised to the highest in the world. Use, do not abuse, the privilege.

Care of Books Books are the key to knowledge. They should be

revered and loved. The students and even some of the parents have a few bad habits concerning books. These should be corrected.

Some simple things to remember a r e : first, don't put the books face down on a flat surface, for this cracks and breaks the bindings; second, don't turn down the corners of the pages, because this creases them and they soon break off and third, don't eat candy or anything sticky while reading.

Remember the books in the library do not belong to y o u : therefore, they should be taken care of. When all of the school learns this, the library wil l become a much bet-ter source of interest and reference.

W e Due Mean Y o u You have no doubt heard that old refrain, " P l e a s e

Pay Y o ur D u e s " at almost every club and class meeting that you have attended. Many students are very lax about paying their club dues and let them run on for weeks until the amount rises to quite a targe sum, then they com-plain about the large amount they must pay.

A l l students could readily keep up with their various financial obligations because their negligence in paying is usually due to carelessness or inability to resume respon-sibility.

There are a great many clubs and organizations in our school, and many students feel that they want to be-long to most of them. Students should belong to only those which they can fairly support by regular attendance and payment of dues.

Make an effort now to budget your finances and get your dues out of the way.

I N Q U I R I N G R E P O R T E R E C C E N T R I C I T I E S

The Question Do you believe in making New

Year's resolutions? Owen Thomas, a Junior, stated.

"Sure, i f they're kept i " Pat Turr l l l , a Junior, emphatically

remarked, "What's the use of mak-ing New Year's resolutions? Resolu-tions are just as good any other time of the year."

Jane Cole, pulchritudlnous Senior, coyly replied. "Sure I make them so that I can have the fun of breaking them"!

Bob Brock, titian-haired Junior, advised, "Yes. New Year's resolutions don't do any harm, and they might do some good,"

June Mullon, philosophic coed, said. "Yes. i t starts you off on the right foot for a whole year."

Howard Stephenson, Peggy's Soph-omore brother, enthusiastically sug-gested, "Yes, I think New Year's resolutions are splendid! They teach one self-discipline."

Lennie Romagna has a habit of sketching pictures whenever he does any writing. O Doodelerl

Owen Thomas says "Look" each time he speaks to a person. His fa -vorite pastime, while engaged In homework, is humming a tune and beating his feet to keep time.

Several ardent admirers of the camera are rarely seen without their pet toys. Among them are Kimbal l Perley. Gene Calvelli, and Everitt Hehn.

Violette Levy is a "Catcher," She catches habits.

A r t Dufly has a habit of traveling through the halls at greatc?) speed,

Harry Helfrich crosses his arms before each oral recitation,

Peggy Stephenson insists on wear-ing the same two bobbie pins. They are almost ready for their first birthday now.

Kenny Iverson makes a business of sleeping in school, but his f a -vorite spot is sixth period history class.

TIDBITS By Three Wise Men

The New Year has come and gone leaving most of the high school w i th big heads. An example of this is " K i l l e r " Kirby and Pete Davis walk-ing into the lunch room and order-ing a Bromo Seltzer. (They are real Men.)

> * *

The college men certainly tore the town wide open. Examples: Dick Jost reviving the Jost-Shontz com-bination, Jimmy Lee and Suzanne Trussell lOld Faithful ) . Sam Shiley and Bemlce Calvelli, John Henry Osborne and Ann Edgar. Jack W i l -son making high school boy GrifBes lose ground with Russell Sage Gul l -ford. Doc Lacher didn't do so badly for himself either (IS that right. Mr. Paxton?).

• • • The Y.P.F, Dance was a big suc-

cess. Those who attended were Len-nie Romagna and Mar>- West, Don Mehan and Audrey Jones. Howard Smith and Phyllis Warren, Kenny Iverson and HIS Peggy from M a n -hasset, Clark and Cox (What no Levy?), Warren Daress and Eliza-beth Brown, and Dana Moran. the only stag.

« • • The dance was over at 2 o'clock

but couples started leaving at 12:30 for the Estates Beach and Monfort Hills, Manorhaven Beach and other interesting places, (We wonder why.)

• * > Jim Shakespeare and Bob Hunter

have been seen in the Great Neck movies wi th a couple of strange women. (That was a dull weekend for you, wasn't I t Peggy?)

« * * Ted Minich escorted Eleanor T a l -

"Faith and it's a hot day now, isn't i t . Mike?"

"To be sure and i t is, Mrs, O'Riley, One of the hottest of the summer, I 'd be a sayin'. Just the kind of a day that things happen around the hospital,"

"Is i t now?" questioned the tired old Ir ish woman, who sat on the park bench facing the city hospital. "Tell me, Mike, has anything been happening this morning while I was away?"

"No, not a thing. The day's been mighty quiet, i t has." replied the good natured policeman. "I've been expectin' somethin' to turn up any time, but not an accident the whole day!"

" I was on me way to the butcher's to talk him out of a couple of lamb chops for me and Tommy's dinner tonight. It 's his twentieth birthday you know. I wanted to be havln' somethin special."

"Ay, and you would, you soft hearted old Ir i sh woman," returned Mike, "Always doing somethin' fer somebody else you are. niver givin' yourself a thought. I never seen the like a ya. Can't find troubles enough of your own so ya hikes down here to this hospital every day just to be sympathizin' w i th the poor devils who gets into the accidents. Ah. you are a true Irishman, Mrs. O'Riley."

Molly lived with her son. Tommy, in a l i tt le I r i sh settlement i n the south end of Cleveland. To Molly, Tommy was the world. He was her only son; and, now after the death of old "T, J . " , Tommy worked to support her. There were perhaps twenty families in the district, and although I t was a decidedly poorer section of the big city, there was an air of coziness and comfort about the place. Molly's house was the same as all the rest, save for the small white fence i n front. The house was covered wi th a fresh coat

I of paint each spring. A small flower ; garden bloomed just under tlie • porch. Molly was completely happy and contented there.

Both Mike and Molly had a strange fascination for the many emergency cases that came into the ho.'ipital day aSter day. They shud-dered over who the vict im was, whether he was going to recover, and what would happen, E 3 Molly so often said "To his poor jnither or wife."

Mike would scurry over to the hospital, get the known facts, and then come hurrying back to Molly to relate all he had gathered. Some-times he would add a bit of adorn-ment here and there.

Now their conversation gradually turned to Tommy.

"Well do I remember the day the little tyke stood on his own two feet for the first time and took a step," Molly reflected. "Faith but I was proud of my sonny that day, I can tell ya. Ha, and the day he took a spill into the paint bucket, and old " T . J . " wouldn't scrub him off say I n ' 'Twould teach the young scatter-brain a thing or two. An all my pleadln's and coaxin's wouldn't turn that man's ideas for the world. Ah, I 'm tell in ' ya. Tommy was one to deal with. But he sure was his own mither's pride the day of "T, J.'s" funeral, he was. You'll have to search far for a better lookin' teller you wil l , and I ' m not one to be braggin', but he is a fine son. Mike a fine son."

The Yogi Speaks; A Mystic Tells All

This week, in an attempt to per-form another great service for our subscribers. The Port Weekly pre-sents Yogi Ben AUi Isidore Bel Mir Bist du Schoen, who was left i n our Christmas stocking complete with crystal, turban, Ouija board, accent, and a book on reading the stars. He wil l periodically emerge from his trance to lay out horo-scopes, read the future, dust The Port Weekly box, et. al. We take pride in presenting Yogi Ben, etcet-era! The Y i ^ i speaks!

I f you were born in the days from December 29 to January 12, this Is your horoscope:

You were born under the sign of " M D . " The Yogi sees i n the stars that the kind of life you are fated for begins with a "mo", and ends in "ous". The stars are not very bright so the Yogi cannot tel l whether your life is to be momentous or monotonous. You sometimes re -gret that you were born i n these days because people are too likely to consolidate your birthday and Christmas presents. A favorable oc-cupation lies in the field of ventrilo-quism. Some of the world's greatest dummies were iDorn in this period. Hobbies suitable for you range from carving Totem po les to stufiing and mounting gnats. You are brave, Itind. intelligent, and good looking. You

5 don't like to do homework. Beware of blondes and flat feet. You are overly susceptible to both.

All school teachers adore you; but, in the manner of teachers, they are very wary about letting you find out. I n fact, rather than let you know that they do idolize you, they may give you frequent "U's". Don't

• let them fool you when they maJce you stay in after school; they just want you near them.

And now the Yoci presents a general forecast for the whole stud-ent body. The Yogi looks into his crystal and sees a dark threatening cloud slowly gathering and as slowly approaching. The Yogi sees i t hover-ing over the school in about three weeks hence. The Yogi sees pupils trembling in their galoshes. What is this menace; has i t a chromium l i n -ing? The Yogi will now repair to his Ouija board and next week wil l be able to tell a l l .

The Yogi has spoken! ! J — B . F.

Santa Claus ' O d d Gifts Amuse P. W . Students

Santa Claus was somewhat of an epigrammist according to some of the things he bestowed upon the abecdarians. Juniors and Seniors of this CO-educational institution of knowledge. By a very devious meth-od this reporter sought out some of Mr. Claus's silly and unique pranks.

Miss Joan Palmer (she is an abec-darian) enjoyed much felicity when she found a dancing Popeye and a Hula Hula dancer among her gifts. Speaking of dolls, Helen Brock de-tected among her presents Donald Duck and his pal Goofy.

Some unknown person or persons was a step ahead of St. Nick to Mr. Scherer's tree. The party left a streamlined puddle-Jumper for h im to use when he is not busy on For-ums and teaching.

A ten dollar bi l l was stuffed in Bob Bralla's anklet. This reporter saw nothing funny about that, but Bob stated that he was so surprised that he had to touch i t twice Isefore he could actually realize he was at last a millionaire.

For a moment i t looked as if Ja-pan would be the birthplace of Nancy White, but she was finally born in Boston, July, 1921; and. a

I year and a half later, she moved to ; Port Washington. Although she has • crossed the Atlantic Ocean fourteen I times, visiting England, (home of her ancestors). Prance, Germany, and Italy, she has faithfully return-ed to Port. Bermuda has seen quite a bit of her loo.

As a student in Junior High, she held several offices, acted in soma plays, and brought many smiles to tlie faces of Port Junior readers with her humor column.

I n Senior High she has become & member of The Port Weekly, The Port Light, Circle. French Honorary Society, soccer squad, and is secre-tary of Clio, manager of girls' bad-minton and ping-pong teams, coun-cil member of her class, representa-tive of the Red Cross In our school, and a student with a high scholastic average. That ought to keep her busy 1

After she is graduated from high school, Wellesley will have her as one of Its students in Bio-chemistry.

"Wacky", as she is called in other parts of the world, has one great ambition—to travel around the world. She lists New York at night, all kinds of dogs, golfing, and swim-ming as her "likes" and she has a grand collection of seventy-five chi -na dogs. She admitted that when she was younger, she had a great desire for pigtails; and she betrayed to us her intense displeasure for wearing hats, rubbers, and swim-ming in Manhasset Bay water. The

; latter, she avoids by spending her summers in the Adirondacks.

I t was difficult to make her con-fess her New Year's resolutions. She said with a grin, " I made many but not for publication," However, one of them is that she is resolved not to break any resolutions she made.

Life Compared to Book Individual Is Hero

T h i s year, "1938" is t h e t i t l e o f your book. Each number stands for a w o r d , and each w o rd should be the o u t l i n e of your L i f e B o o k ! Here are the words : Prosper i ty , H a p p i -ness, Peace and H e a l t h .

B y N E I L H I N R I C H S F o r hundreds of years people have

had race prejudice i n regard to other races of people. B u t , i n m y op in ion , I t h i n k they have t h e whole t h i n g wrong . I regard a l l races as being equal. Some races, such as the negro race and the yellow race haven ' t had the proper oppor tun i t i es and advantages to get ahead. T h e C h i -nese race, for instance was one of the f i rs t c iv i l ized , bu t they had a curious t r a i t , namely, the oldest one i n the house was the boss, and w i t h th i s rule, the most lex ica l t h i n g the oldest m a n wou ld do w o u l d be to fol low the customs of h is fathers . W i t h a s i tua t ion l ike th is , C h i n a has been doing the same th ings for cen-turies.

There are good a n d bad poin ts i n every race of people on t h i s ea r th and a lo t of propaganda has, and Is being spread a round concern ing di f ferent races o f people a n d the i r customs. A good example was t h e newspapers d u r i n g the W o r l d W a r . B o t h sides made up such propaganda atxiut the enemy t h a t i t is h a r d l y believable now t h a t we look back a t I t .

Since then pecul ia r ideas and n o -t ions about d i f fe ren t races have been pu t i n people's heads and we don ' t know w h i c h or w h a t to be-lieve. Aside f r o m the other po in t s I have ment ioned . I t h i n k we cou ld cu l t iva te a sense o f tolerance t o -w a r d o ther races.

Today propaganda grea t ly m a g n i -fies the faul ts a n d bad poin ts o f races b u t i f you give the m a t t e r a l i t t l e sensible t h o u g h t you w i l l con-clude tha t the foreigner nex t door is qu i te as decent a fel low as t h e best o f your fr iends.

ith The Faculty While we were wasting our vaca-

tion In the movies or at the roller skating r ink, several of the faculty were enjoying themselves at var i -ous recreations. Their fresh humor and renewed patience may be at tr ib -uted to their holiday activities.

Syracuse was honored by a visit by Miss Buckley, who also did a bit of fancy ice skating up there. For some mysterious reason she re-mained standing during most of her classes.

Miss Sammis renewed al l aquaint-ances while visiting Rochester. I t was at Rochester that Miss Sammls spent some of her time studying during her sabatlcal leave.

'"Doc" Herge journeyed to Syra-cuse where he participated in a con-ference of the Empire State School Press Association.

Miss Sabersky visited her home i n Tarry f jwn for a short time; then she returned to New York City where she saw several plays.

Miss Fa linger had a grand ten day tr ip to Bermuda! Here she bathed and sunned most of the time. She attended the horse races; but, unluckily, her horse came i n last every time. She is still a l i tt le weak-i n - knees from the boat tr ip .

By ALAN GOULD What apparently wil l be a highly

successful basketball season for the Port "White Devils" is now well u n -der way. Their latest achievement, a surprising 21 to 13 victory over the Alumni, left no doubt i n the minds of all that we have another high class team this year.

• * • "Mac" McCarthy, Tony An-

gustino, and Mike Romeyko, (he three dependable veterans, have held the team together; and Don Smith, Emie Tonsmiere, and, lately, "Pussy" Markland have given the team almost perfect balance.

An individual scoring record for a Port player was made by Mike Ro-meyko i n the game wi th Roslyn, He scored seventeen points. The "Blue Devils" won the game by the lop-sided score of 37 to 21, Mike leads in total points scored i n al l the games played up ' t i l l tonight. He has made thirty-five, "Mac"—twen-ty-seven, "Augle"—twenty-six. Don Smith—twelve, and "Pussy" M a r k -land—one.

The second team has yet to win a game. They received their worst beating from the hands of the Alumni the Tuesday before school closed by the score of 21 to 6.

The squad journeys to Manhasset tonight to play its first league game against our natural rivals. Some of Manhassets scouts claim to have a terrific quintet over there this year, and you can't tell—they might ba right for a change. At any rate i t will be a good game, al l the games we've ever played against them have been.

By ELEANOR JENKINS The volley ball and basketball

seasons got well under way this week when a volley ball meeting was called on Monday. Uniforms were given out and the squad received last minute Instructions for their first encounter wi th Great Neck the following day. This is the first year that games have been played w i t h other schools in this sport and we hope that the team wil l be suc-cessful in their first match. Those who wi l l represent Port on the Varsity team are: E. Marro, M. Dellavechla, G, Bub, D. Chekatauskas. C. Lewthwaite. L. Tela, E. Merri l l . J , Rusas. D. Nicholson, H. Kelly, D. Stanley, and R. Brimm. The squad is be-ing ably managed by Audrey Jones wi th B Farrelly, and N. Gaignat as her assistants.

Their schedule* includes seven games with other Long Island teams and one contest with the Alumni. The list of games is as follows:

Jan, 13 — Westbury at Port Jan, 19 — Sea Cliff at Port Jan, 28 — Glen Cove at Port Jan. 31 — Manhasset at Manhasset Feb, 8 — Southside at Port Mr, 3 —Oyster Bay at Oyster Bay Mr. 21 — Alumni vs. Varsity,

The day for basketball prac-tice has been changed from Tuesday to Thursday and the final squad was listed on the bulletin board today. There iteems to be some promising ma-terial for this year's team, but whether success is likely or not remains to be seen. This may be more easily determined next Thursday, when the first prac-tice of the final squad wi l l be held.

Last year's basketball sextette saw a successful season, but the ma-jority of that team was made up of students who have since graduated and new material w i l l be used this

year. There are. so far, only B few forward combinations that seem to click and Mary Muro and Betty Flifion seem to be probable team-mates. The team is scheduled for eight games and we hope that a match m.ay be secured wi th the faculty. Last year's game proved to be very amusing and interesting. The faculty members (red bows and all) provided quit* a t h r i l l ,

Badminton wUl begin soon and praetice wiU be held every other Friday, when the boys are not using the gym. The team wi l l probably be chosen in the same manner as the voUey ball team. There wi l l be a tournament and the best players remaining wi l l make up the team.
