Spring Play Is Popular

'Blue Bird' Dramatic, Financial Success

An appreciative audience of about 600 a t tended the Red Domino production of "The Blue Bird" last Friday night at the High School. About ninety dollars was taken in at the door in the evening. At the afternoon performance about fifty dollars was received and approxi-mately four hundred children was there. Prances Villani sold over eighty tickets and was awarded the first prize in the ticket contest. The prize is a free ticket to any show on Broadway the winner wishes to see. Ernest Dahl, who sold fifty-six tickets, was the win-ner of the second prize, two free tickets to "The Blue Bird".

Cast Shows Fine Acting: Leonard Romagna and Berna

Deane Purget t . presented fine per-formances a t the poor wood-cut t-ers children Tyltyl and Mytyl. J o h n Keaney, who played the pa r t of The Dog. turned in one of the outs tanding performances of tTie play. His par t presented difficult in terpreta t ion as well as a most exhaust ing physical position. Lewis Deane gave one of the most con-sistent character izat ions in the play, and Antionet te Keaney was most amusing. Mary West turned in another sterling performance, and Mary Kellogg, one of the newer actresses proved her r ight to a place in the limelight. Pau l Harr ison and M a r t h a Munhal l gave a delicate and f ine-drawn picture of the aged Gaffer and Granny, Helen Bot t as Fire, and R u t h Loomds as the Cat, were commendable. Barba ra Stimson was a tender and beautiful Materna l Love. Andrew Johnson was fine as Fa the r Time, and Natalie Frost is to be compliment-ed for her work.

The sets, designed by Kingsley Poynter and handled by the stage crew under the direction of Ar thur Cornell were some of the most original and striking ever seen in the local High School. The amazing varieity accomplished in short t ime and with simple shifts was most unusual .

Dances Are High Points Among the high points of the

play were Miss Holt 's work with the glee club and her ha rp solo. T h e dances were also Well done. One of the nicest was the dance in the Palace of the Night. Mary West did a very nice bit of ballet in this and Natalie Frost is also to be commended. The children from the lower grades and the kindergarten- were also suprisingly fine, and played their par t s ade-quately.

About $250 dollars was taken in by the play and the expenses amounted $117. The club cleared approximately $125.

Chester Jasinski Wins P r i z e In

Fresco Contest

This Issue of The Port Week-ly was written and edited by the Juniors. The regular staff, in connection with Youth Week, edited one page of The Port Washington News.

Cheater Jasinski, a promising art ist of the Port Washington High School, had his portrai t of Bet te Davis, famous movie star and recent winner of the Academy Award, voted the best of the 300 paint ings shown a t the "Young American Pa in t s " exhibition which is now on display in the mezzanine galleries of the R. C. A. Building in Rockefeller Center, New York.

The picture was so well done a n d the likeness so striking, tha t it drew admirat ion from even the more casual onlookers. Miss Davis was chosen by Chester as the sub-eot of his brush, as he admired her work in many note-worthy cinema productions.

As a prize, Chester posed for his por t ra i t painted by Mr. Bernard Green, supervisor of a r t at the Thomas Jefferson High School. The re was only one prize given, but a honorable ment ion in such a widely advertized exhibition as this is in itself a worthy a t t a in -ment .

T h e various mater ia l from Port Washington evoked considerable comment by critical and seasoned observers. Willy Knudsen, also of Port, was the recipient of thi rd place.

Students Hold Offices To Help Observe National Youth Week

Music Department A t t e n d s Contest

Band, Orchestra Qual i fy To Perform At Endicot-t

FOUR PORT STUDENTS ATTEND MATH CONTEST

A group of aspiring m a t h e m a t i -cians journeyed to the city last Sa tu rday afternoon to part icipate in a test at New York University based on the principles of elemen-tary and intermediate alegebra, and plane geometry. J o h n Greig, Ar thur Johnson. Benjamin Kirkup and William Weber were chosen as t'he representat ive team of Port Washington.

The group s tar ted with high hopes and re turned with slightly subdued egos, testifying to the dif-ficulty of the examination. I t has been estimated t h a t such a test is the equivalent of four m a t h e -matics regents.

An award is to be made to the school with the highest t eam aver-age. A certificate will be presented to the one receiving the highest mark on each team. The boys strove valiantly, but they claim there is little if any chance for Port 's receiving a high award this year.

Saturday, April 24, the band and orchestra under the direction of Paul Van Bodegraven journeyed to Floral Pa rk where they at tended the Sectional contest for soloists and ins t rumenta l organizations. The contest was held in the Se-wanhaka High School audi tor ium and lasted the entire day. The band and orchestra as well as ten soloists entered from the Por t Washington Musical Depar tments .

The solo contests were held in the morning and the soloists were ra ted according to their ability. The Port soloists were ra ted as fol-lows: William Bailey, superior; Michael DeLeo, highly superior; Ru th Guilford, superior; Robert Lambert i , excellent; Gordon Lew-thwaite, excellent; Malcolm Lowry, superior, J o h n Smith, excellent; Warren Thomas, average: and J o h n Wilkie, excellent.

T h e orchestra commenced play-ing in the afternoon. The Port V\1ashington Senior High School orchescra played iwo selections, "Prelude to Kunihi ld" and the "Caliph of Bagdad". The orchestra performances were judged by D. Larson of the Eastern School of Music, Rochester. The Port Wash-ington orchestra and Sewanhaka orchestra both received superior grades and are now eligible tor the s ta te finals. The Roslyn or-chestra was ra ted "good".

The last feature of the after-noon was the Port Washington Senior High School Band which played al though handicapped by the loss of three instruments , a piccolo, an alto clarinet and an oboe. These ins t ruments had mys-teriously disappeared from the Se-wanhaka school gymnasium.

Red Domino Elects Members Tuesday

I t was also announced at the same t ime t h a t approximately 125 was cleared from "The Blue Bird". T h e club voted to buy two new spot lights from a New York firm. A motion was also passed regard-ing a thea t re par ty at the end of the year. A tentat ive date of May 20 was set and "Victoria Regina" was suggested as the play.

More t h a n once a s tudent has expressed a desire to act i n

the capacity of t eacher—i f j u s t f o r a day. Y o u t h Week offered th i s o p p o r t u n i t y to m a n y pupi ls . A s tudent was appointed i n each class t o conduct the lesson for the day o f Wednesday, A p r i l 29. As teacher, the s tudent assumed r e -sponsib i l i ty for the ent i re period. Even i n t h i s l i m i t e d t ime , some of tihe d i f f i cu l t ies w h i c h one i n th i s f i e ld meets were brought to l i g h t . As a resu)t of h is experience, the s tudent is better able to unders tand the d i f f i cu l t i e s of the teacher a n d to be i n sympath y w i t h h i m .

However, the object of Y o u t h Week i n the school system is n o t to impress upon the younger generat ion the complicat ions i n -volved i n a pos i t ion as teacher, but since m a n y of you have n o t as yet f o r m u l a t e d de f in i te p lans i n regard to your f u t u r e occupation, you, who may cherish a n a m b i t i o n t o be teacher, may have benef ited toy the exper iment of Y o u t h Week i n your i n d i v i d u a l classes. No doubt , the s p i r i t of the occasion was n o t a solemn one. M a n y may have ant i c ipated th i s day as a n o p p o r t u n i t y to re lax f r o m the r e g u -lar r o u t i n e a n d to have a good t i m e . B u t at the same t i m e i t is i m p o r t a n t to realize the value of such a n experience a n d the bene-f i t s w h i o h m a y be derived as r e -sult . I f you neglected to accomplish t h i s d u r i n g the past week, be p r e -pared next year to make Y o u t h Week i m p o r t a n t to you, as a n i n d i -v i d u a l .

vantage or a disadvantage to the social value of a community?

Virginia Hyland, a J u n i o r , r e -m a r k e d : " I t h i n k t h a t movies are a n advantage for they are a d a p t i ng m a n y famous classics a n d educa-t i o n a l stories to the screen t h a t w o u l d n ' t be read otherwise . Since t h e i r l i t e r a r y s tandar d has r isen, i t is no longer d e t r i m e n t a l to the younger generat ion . "

Jose Bornn, a Senior, s tated : " I believe i n the movies as they e n -able people to see other countries a n d customs, w h i c h broaden t h e i r outlook. T h e movies provide a good source of amusement a n d var ie ty of programs . "

Miss C. Sammis, a teacher, r e -p l i e d : " I t a l l depends upon the c o m m u n i t y . I f i t has a h i g h s t a n d -ard , the movies w h i c h they accept a i d i n the educat ion a n d l earn ing . Burt i f they have no d iscr imdnat ion a n d the c h i l d r e n are al lowed to go to every type, i t is h a r m f u l . "

Dorothy Woon, a Senior, s ta ted : " I feel thait there are m a n y p i c -tures t h a t are not only educat ional but very e n t e r t a i n i n g ; but also there are m a n y t h a t do not come u p to s tandard a n d do no one any good."

I n case you-ve gotten "out of touch" wi th the latest gossip, we bring you a few choice bits we've been coUeotin from here and there:

The science class of the 7A-1 girls went on a hilce during vaca-tion and Ray Elliot and David M . followed them.

• • • The blow has finally been struck.

The 9A-1 Buzz seems to be going on the rocks. The editor resigned, the assistante editor has quit and says she is going to start a paper of her own.

Who are these blind dates that seem to be floating around? Patty F. and V. Rnlay were seen with initials of boys from Litt le Neck on their wrists.

Rachel C. has been seen in the movies with a certain C. S.

• « • Shirley Z. of Miss Hiorn 's home-

room, is known as "Miss Nassau" to her classma;tes.

• • « I f anyone in our J. H. S. ever

needs a minister or an under-taker, just go to Miss Thorn's room and ask for W. Biddle.

« • « Ilsa Senn and B. Kerby were

seen in the movies wi th A. Sprague and Ray Pinlay.

It 's rumored that Babs Den-dievel who left for England, made arrangements before she left to write to Henry F^ost. Oh!

Marjorie Eilers, formerly of "Port" came to visit during Bas-ter vacation at Nina Cox's house. Numerous parties and hot-dog roasts were given for her by the crowd.

Spring Fever Is

Said T o Produce

Strange Symptoms

Dread Disease Defined B y Authority

By W. McQVADE Spring arrived, officially quite

a while ago but not unt i l recently have symptoms of Spring been ob-vious in many students of this school. But now everyone has either spring fever, romantic thoughts, or a cold in his head. The latter two epidemics are well known by practically everyone but, surpris-ingly, a few people don't know what Spring Fever i t .

A Definition Now Spring Fever is, for the

benefit of the ignorant and lucky people who have not experienced i t a time when you don't know when, how, why, what or who, and care less. You usually wake up at the crack of dawn, maybe half past eight, blissfully unaware that i t is Thursday, not Saturday. After your mother has put this idea to rout, you proceed to w a ^ your teeth with cold cream and, in dressing, put both socks on one foot, the r ight . shoe on the wrong pup, and other absent minded little things like that. At breakfast the victim of this dread malady i n -variably pours his orange juice on his pancakes and his maple syrup in to his cereal which con-cootion, after adding salt, he en-deavors to eat with a fork.

Lost In A Fog

After being reminded to go to school a second time, he wanders off and is lost track of unt i l six o'clock when he is found sitting on the curb about a block from his house. When questioned he usually mumbles some thing to the effect that he has been sitting there all day wondering what he was told to do when he left his house in the morning.

One bad point to be greatly regretted is that the faculty re-mains immune to this disease.

Junior High School Band Plays In Senior Contest

For the second successive year the Junior High School band went to the Long Island Sectional Con-test for High School Bands at Floral Park. This is a great honor for group and their efforts were loudly praised.

Another orchestra composed of beginning players from Flower Hi l l , Sands Point and Main Street has been formed. They rehearse every Tuesday in the Main Street audi-torium under the direction of Miss Legro.

Bunny " D u c k s " Doctor

Dr. Stephenson has failed. He may be proclaimed a traitor to science. He has failed to capture the Easter Bunny. I n fact he let Easter Sunday go by without realizing its passing. He thought it was Fourth of July. "Lack of concentration is a terrible thing," said the dear doctor when questioned.

Dale Ely since she has changed her hairdress seems to be making a hit wi th Gordon Grant.

J . H . S. Girls Prove

Active I n Sports

On Tuesday, ^ r i l 21, girls' baseball started. A game was play-ed with two pick--up teams and, quite a few girls showed up, but even more came out on the follow-ing Tuesday when practice was officially opened by the Sport Council.

For Thursday, Apri l 23, a hike was planned and about 25 girls went. Because of the large number, the girls were divided into 2 griups. Each group started in opposite directions and met at Plandome station to eat.

Sally Douglas and Gerda Zerm managed to keep the led of their group all of the way. Upon ar-riving at the school, one group of girls had some daffodils, hyacinths, and violets. How they appropriated them is not known but one girl had a few scratches on each knee.

Sports Council News

The Girl's Sport Council Meet-ing, which was supposed to be held on Friday, April 24, was postponed unt i l further notice.

The individual sports committee reports that the ping pwng and shuffle board tournaments have not been completed. Those who have completed their games in the tournament are' Hicks, who defeat-ed Jenkins; Roes, who lost to Smiles; Murray, who was beaten by Purieck; Caparella, who lost to Smith. Seidlecka lost to Bonczek, Lang to Cox, Roberts to Mullon and Marro to Biggs.

Only two shuffle board results are known: Seidlecka and Purieck defeated Carey and Kohanska; and Caparella and Jenkins defeated Kleskowski and Burke.

H . S. Girls T o T a p In Assembly Today

The assembly program planned for today promises to be a treat. Miss Carey, who is in charge of the program has arranged to have the girls tap dancing class from high school pay us a visit.

Future assembly programs are in charge of the following teachers: Miss Armer, Miss Sherman, Mr. Lewis, and Miss Mandigo, who is in charge of the graduation pro-gram.

Fads And Fancies

Even though the teachers are serious-minded characters in the school rooms, they are like all other people outside of school. They have hobbies, even as you and I .

Miss Atwater and Miss Palmer have a kindred interest in swim-ming and knitting. Miss Armer, naturally enough, likes to collect rocks. The men enjoy their leisure moments in the field of sports. Hunting and baseball are Mr. Hulbert's favorites, and Mr. Lewis likes fishing.

Those who lean toward domestic pleasures are Miss Carey, who likes crocheting and Miss Avery who says cooking is her delight. Miss Rees likes to spend her time "see-ing America first."

Mr. Markle and Mr. Brubaker turn to nature with gardening as their hobby. Miss Thorn likes ping pong and horseback riding.

Youth Week Observed In

Junior High

Pupils Are I n Charge Of

School, Community

The boys and girls of the Junior High School had a chance this week to show what they could do if they were running the various organizations of the community. National Youth Week, which was Observed throughout the entire country was a time when "youth had its f l ing" in our school and community.

Pupils Visit Many groups visited various or-

ganizations during the week and some places had pupils in charge. Junior High School groups visited the sewer, garbage, and water plants as well as the sand bank, Port Washington National Bank, Village Welfare House, Post Office and Fire Department. A party of pupils were given a ferry ride on Thursday.

Odd Hope, Burr Miller, and Ernest Fagiola assisted in the police station; Mary Church, Nora Masi, and Jean Swain were select-ed to work in the public library; Daniel Brimm, Belva Schulze-Berge, and Robert Brock assisted in the bank and Bayard Osborne represented the school at the county meeting.
