Play Troupe s Menu Has Comedy, Drama

'Brass Buttons* To Be One Of Three Feature Plays

Fantast ic melodrama and sophisti-cated comedy are on the Port Washing -ton Play Troupe's menu for Apri l 23rd and 24th when the third bill of the s e a -son is presented at St . Stephen's P a r i s h House.

L o r d Dunsany's " A Night at a n I n n , " considered by most critics to be a per -fect one act play in its construction, is the fantastic melodrama. " T h e C h a r m -ing Young M a n , " another one act piece of hilarious incident and unbelievable situation, wil l divide comedy honors with " B r a s s Buttons , " to be produced by the R e d Domino Club of Port W a s h -ington High School. Brass Buttons is an original play by Bonnie Hawthorne, Director of Dramatics at the Senior High School. J i m Charles L i n c o l n Bob B i l l Buschmarm Bil ly Andrew Johnson Tommy L e n n i e Romagna Betsy J a n e Cole R u t h Zoe Andel Mary B e r ne Deane Purgett Eve Marjorie Wheeler

" A Night A t A n I n n " is typical of the strange melodrama that the I r i s h play-wright has written around the motif of terror. Dunsany wrote it at a single sitting between tea and dinner one day in 1912. Only men actors appear in the story of the jade idol, K l e s h , who takes his mysterious revenge on four sailors who have stolen his ruby eye.

T h e Play Troupers who will appear i n this unusual production, w h i c h is d i -rected by Constance P. R a n k i n , are John C . Crawley, Joseph G . Breaznell , Charles C . Johnson, Homer N. Bartlett , E . Boyd Lipsett, George Bollwinkle, Fred M. H a l l and Raymon d Bott.

Martha Strong S m i t h and E v e l y n Kelly are directing " T h e C h a r m i n g Young M a n , " which is pure foolishness built around a very agreeable young gentleman who, as a n excuse for be-ing late for dinner, tells a wholly i m -possible story that turns out to be true.

Among those i n the cast are R u t h Helmle, J e a n Beckwith , Percy S h a w -cross, Genevieve Hare, Kingsley Poynt -er, Howard T y n d a l l and Jul ius K o e l -ber.

T h i s series of one act plays marks the second in a series of three major pro -ductions planned by the Play Troupe for this year. Recently a P l ay Troupe cast in " T h e V a l i a n t " won a North Shore Litt le Theatre tournament at the Beacon Theatre , and earlier i n the season " T h e Ghost T r a i n " was success-fully staged. A third production, pro-bably the most serious and ambitious undertaking by the group in a number of years, is being plarmed as a n out-door spectacle, in late Spring or early Summer.

Annual Retort-Celerity Dance Attended By Many

T h e third annual Celerity-Retort dance was held in the cafeteria last F r i -day evening Apri l 9. T h e dance was both a social and financial success. A profit of thirty dollars was realized by the clubs.

T h e decorations were under the charge of Charles L i n c o l n and c o n -sisted of green shrubs and cleverly a r -ranged colored streamers. T h e music which was furnished by Peter and his Pennsylvanians was lauded by the dancers and listeners.

Other committee members were Mary West, Suzanne Milholland, J a n e W a t -kins, B e m a D e a n Purgett, Bob M c C a l -lum, J o h n Anderson, Bob K u n z , a n d Jack Wilson.

Regents List Shows Changes

A list of revised marks from last J a n -uary's Regents examinations has been sent from Albany and is now posted on the bulletin board.

Twenty-s ix marks have been changed; sixteen were lowered and ten raised. T h e number of changes and subjects included i n this list were two Business Arithmetic, four Plane Geometry, two L a t i n I I I , five General Biology, four American History, one Shorthand 11, one Economics, one P l a n Trigonometry, one Solid Geometry, two F r e n c h I I I , two S p a n i s h I I , on E n g l i s h I V .

Two students from the Port W a s h i n g -ton Senior High School attended anoth-er meeting of the constitutional com-mittee of " L a Societe Honoraire " the F r e n c h honor society which is being organized for students of secondary schools in Nassau County. T h e second meeting of the committee was held on April 15 at Freeport High School.

T h e committee, which was engaged to draw up the constitution of the newly founded " L a Societe Honoraire " left the business of the meeting to for-mulate plans for a n essay-contest which they are sponsoring on Saturday, May 1st at Baldwin High School. T h e de-tails decided on so far, are that the hour of the contest will be 10:00 and the time limit will be three hours. T h e teachers of F r e n c h who accompan-ied their delegates to the meeting de-cided the topic which the essay will be on but no student wUl be told it u n -til the contest begins at 10:00 on May 1st. T h e essay will be in F r e n c h . F u r -ther details will be announced later.

Gross Is President Among the points which the com-

mittee has agreed upon is the appoint-ment of Ruber Gross the president of the Long Beach Chapter of the socie-ty as president of " L a Societe Honor-a i r e " for this term. His appointment was received with favor by al l the com-mittee because Long B e a c h issued the call for the founding of a F r e n c h H o n -or Society for Nassau County. T h e secretary of the Long B e a c h chapter is also the recording secretary of the so-ciety proper.

T h e schools which answered the call of Long B e a c h included Baldwin, E a s t Rockaway, Freeport, Lynnbrook, Long Beach, G a r d e n City, and Port Washing -ton.

Forum Financial Status Shows Balance of $151.08

T h e financial status of the Public Forum, sponsored by the Port W a s h -ington Teachers ' Association, was a n -nounced this week by Mr . H . Curt is Herge, chairman.

A total of $910.95 was taken i n by the F o r u m treasurer and a total of bills rendered to date shows that the expenses amounted to $759.87. T h e dif-ference between these two shows a baalnce on hand of $151.08.

Immediately following the last lec -ture of the series, the patrons of the F o r u m voted to put this balance i n a fund to apply toward the expenses for a second F o r u m series to be held next year.

A more complete report will be pub-lished i n the near future containing the final results and the findings of the questionaires which were given out at the last lecture.

E l m i r a Honors Port Alumnae

Two former students of the Port Washington SeiUor High School, V i r -ginia C h u r c h and Marjorie Griffes, who are now attending E l m i r a College, were recently elected to the honorary position of president of their respective classes.

Miss C h u r c h who was graduated from this school in June, 1935 is now a junior at E l m i r a , and Miss Griffes, a graduate of last year, is finishing her freshman course.

Out of 364 Frescols exhibited in the Mezzanine Galleries of the International Building at Rockefeller Center from March 30 to A p r i l 10, Chester J a s i n -ski took first place by receiv-ing the most votes (590) for his painting of a local water-front scene. Wil ly Knudsen, also from our school, received second place with 469 votes. His painting, " A M a r i n e " , h a d been ahead of Chester's in votes during the first few days of the exhibition.

Winners Receive Prizes T h i s years exhibition was the second

year that Blnney and Smith , makers of Frescol, has presented the student c r e -ations to the public to vote on their choice of the best picture painted i n public and parochial schools al l over the United States. L a s t year, Chester and Willy placed first and third, r e -spectively this year they placed first and second in that order. T h e three w i n -ners received a prize of ten dollars and all the others whose pictures were represented received a box of Frescol , and a box of water colors.

T h e 100 best pictures are to be ex-hibited in the Western Arts Associa-tion building in Toledo, Ohio from Apri l 14 to Apri l 18.

Band And Orchestra Receive High Ratings

Band Qualifies As Class A For State Contest

T h e Port Washington High School B a n d and Orchestra and over thirty soloists competed at the Sectional C o n -test held at Manhasset High School Saturday, Apri l 10. T h e orchestra r e -ceived a rating of 1 and helpful c r i t i -cisms for w h e n it plays at the National Contest, from Pierre Henrotte of the Ernest Wil l iams School of Music.

Mr. Harwood Simmons of Columbia gave the band a rating of 1 and eligi-bility to enter the State Contest at E l m i r a , Apri l 30. At this Sectional C o n -test the band entered Class A, and it is now officially announced that the band will enter Class A at the State Contest. T h i s is quite a n undertaking for the group as Class A competition is for bands whose school enrollments ex-ceed 750. I n view of the fact that the band has won the State Contest for three consecutive years, the members of the organization decided to enter Class A in order to experience stififer competition and to give other Class B bands a chance for first place.

Eleven Qualify

Of the thirty or more soloists who e n -tered the solo competition from this school, eleven qualified for the State F i n a l s . Only one from every five e n -tries at the sectional was allowed to be chosen for the State Contest. T h e eleven soloists thus chosen are :

Wi l l iam Bailey, J o h n Smith , R u t h Guilford, D r i n a R i c h , clarinets; S u -zanne Trussell , flute; H a r r y Helfrich, bassoon; Harriet De Pauw, oboe; W i l -l iam Griffes, tuba; Howard Smith , trombone; Michael De Leo, F r e n c h horn ; Wil l iam Bischof, drums.

Ensembles entering the State Contest are, T h e Woodwind Quartet, T h e T r o m -bone Quartet, T h e H o r n Quartet, and the Clarinet Quartet.

Crime In School

C r i m e ! W e in the school think of crime as only happen-ing to other people in the big cities. W e t h i n ^ of crime as some thing which never affects our lives, but crime is gradually creeping into Port H i g h !

During the past year, sever-al thefts have been reported by Miss Hawthorne, who reveals that her purse has been stolen upon numerous occasions. T h en there have been reports from students who have lost or had stolen articles of clothing or money in the locker room of the gym. Another student reports the theft of some subscription money for The Port Weekly which he had placed in a teach-er's desk for safe-keeping.

What is this school coming to? Either the inhabitants are degenerating rapidly or peo-ple are becoming careless in leaving articles where they can be stolen. W e are of the opin-ion that it is the former. W e think that there are a few in -dividuals in this school who have started off on the wrong foot in life by petty larceny. This wil l later develop into grand larceny and greater if not checked.

The student body is urged to co-operate with the authorities in keeping a strict watch for the culprits and reporting crimes if they are seen commit-ted. Unless this is done, the school wil l gradually become a place where nothing can be set down without danger of some-thing being stolen! Crime and theft M U S T be eliminated from the school system!

Novelty Dance?

This high school, or various clubs in it, sponsors a certain number of dances annually such as the Senior B a l l , the Junior Prom, The Sophomore Hop, The Retort - Celerity Dance, and a few others. How-ever, the boys act as escorts to a l l of these dances, which is usually cust6marJ^; W h y

can't the girls enjoy the privi -lege of inviting the boy of their choice, or of going " s t a g " ?

The novelty of an " A . M. B . " ( A l l Men Broke) Dance would certainly contribute to-ward its success. T he boys would appreciate the fact that they would not be required to pay the price of admission, and the girls would relish the op-portunity to do the "cutting i n . " The old maids would as-sume al l the duties formally en-acted by the boy such as in -viting them, calling for them, etc.

" A . M. B . " Dances have been held by other schools and have been proved successful. W h y not initiate this type of dance in the Port Washington High School? I f it is successful, make it an annual affair; if not, discontinue it.

Miss Hyland is a much traveled young lady; in fact, she is a navy woman. T h a t is to say, her father is in the Navy, not Virginia . Some of the many places she has visited during her travels are California. Newport and of course Port Washington.

I t was during her thirteenth year that she moved here and entered the Junior High School. While there her activities included such things as s ing-ing with the Glee Club, acting in the graduation play and reporting on " T h e Port J u n i o r . "

After this adventuresome beginning. Miss Hyland moved up to H i g h School and immediately got in the swim, so to speak. She joined the Glee Club and was immediately elected Assistant L i -brarian. After a year she was made a member of the Celerity and the R e d Domino. She gained the latter honor by participation in many plays such as " U n d e r the Gas l ight " and " B l u e b i r d . " Also during her junior and senior years she suffered bruises and floorburns with the rest of the pantomime class.

Virginia is also quite a singer and hopes to take up singing as her l i fe-work. While in high school, she h a d a leading part in the Glee Club produc-tion. " T h e Feast of the Litt le L a n t e r n s . "

Well, that's about all , oh, no, she's a letterman. or should I say woman, in soccer and has participated in archery; and too, she is quite a student and was made a member of the Circle i n her senior year. Y e s I guess that is al l ex-cept to say that she hopes to attend the New Rochelle College for Women next fall . We wish her luck!

Better Be Prepared Here is a hint to all you gay young

Lotharios who haven't gotten dates for the Junior Prom. Better get busy and get your dates lined up because it is only a few weeks away.

The Spyglass T o m Ell iston

Before we start this column, we plan to make it understood that a n y -thing said in these paragraphs is not being said with malicious intent. I t Is not or wil l not be my policy to carry out grudges in this space.

Orchids to Miss Pelton, Mr. Pickett, the Retort and the Celerity for the swell dance they gave us last F r i d a y night. I t all goes to prove that with a good orchestra the crowd will turn out and the sheckels will roll in . F r o m the report by Mr . Pickett, they hit a n all time high for profit . . . Among those present at the dance we noticed R u t h y Guilford with Joe (Dude) Griffes, N i p -per L a n g with M a r i a n Oestreich, Bi l ly B u s c h m a n with V e r a M a c F a r l a n d , B . Calvell i with Harold Voegelin, Mr . and Mrs. Predmore, and several old Retort members among whom were Bob C o r -rigan, A l Brown, F r e d McNutit, and Eggy Montell. . . . As per usual there were unlimited number of stags, and Professors Dimmick and Pickett por-traying the respectable bachelors . . . and then there was Miss K i n n e , popu-lar Junior High science teacher who borrowed Mr. Roger K i n n e from the Columbia Broadcasting Company for the evening. . . .

and D O Y O U K N O W

. . . . W h y S t a n S m i t h came to the dance alone? . . . . Anyone who has heard better music around here? . . . . Why Miss Pelton and Professor Pickett did not put on their exhibition as advertised? . . . . W h y al l the men were glad to see Mr. Predmore arrive? . . . . W h a t Purdue F r e s h m a n received a detailed report on the activtiies of a certain doctor's daughter after the dance?

Miss Pelton would not let any of the local Casanovas cut in on her at the dance F r i d a y . . . According to her she claims it wouldn't be proper for her to dance with anybody else and let her New Jersey boy friend languish by the punch bowl seeing as he knew none of the high school girls. . . . We wonder if that really is the reason?

Question M a r k : Why wasn't Keates at the dance? W a s it because some-body else took " H E R " ?

Arsenic to the boys who ask to cut in on a couple at a dance after they have only taken one or two steps, and then when asked to wait a bit want to make a n issue of it.

Quite a few of our high school d a m -sels have forsaken our boys and have been paying quite a bit of attention to the alumni . . . ,A young fellow from Luquer Road named George has been making quite a lot of Bangs up at the Allington household, while Shirley Warren has been hearing a different story (Charl ie) every week. (Pahdon the puns.)

W h a t young lady who commutes to school on the bus every day h a d to refuse a date to see a Cornell sopho-more back to I t h a c a because she a l -ready was tied up with a n engage-ment for the evening? [Answer next week.—Ed note.]

Studes Desire Good 'Hot Spot' Near To

Dear Old Port High B y Charles L i n c o l n

There is considerable discussion about what happens between the time the school dances are concluded and the participants get home to bed.

Most of our information is based on what each individual feels free to admit, and this in a way is sufQcient; but it does reveal a very interesting cross section of student life.

T h e dance ends very properly at twelve, rarely later. Assuming that we possess a conveyance w h i c h gets us from place to place, we note the dis-tribution of local talent bound for other parts of the Is land .

As the multitude pours from the school's parking and fender denting space, we hastily withdraw to the safety of M a i n Street, and witness a show of speed and brakes that looks and sounds like a testing ground for the latest safety device on automobiles. Only a junior licensee could put on such a death-defying display.

Long Is land C h a m p s Style Skipping over the ride, and after

consulting a map of the places, we found our fellow conspirators. We have to admit that Long Is land does cramp the style of our youth, because we can get to the ends of it so quickly. Jones Beach is a mere step from our back door.

During spring and summer, these lit-tle jaunts are al l right but when the ice appears in winter, the trip really has some thrills .

P a r t of our education stresses the value of the student who learns to get along in the world as he finds it. The present student body did not invent the after the dance entertainment, which is one of the things he has to get along with, when his good sense and tired feet tell h i m he might much bet-ter " h i t the h a y . "

Most of the places available and fre-quented are not advertised in the smart magazines or family newspapers. The word " D i n e r " over the door step merely proves that food may be available, but one needs not go over the things avail -able under the elastic term "food."

Need Local " H o t Spot " A poll of the student body favors a

plan to provide a good " H o t Spot" for Port Washington, or some place at home where the small fry can eat hot dogs and other indigestibles wi th the satis-faction of being places with none of the usual disadvantages.

Of course, this good time near home idea, will not appeal to the sophisticates, but we can get along without them any-where.

Wil l some one come to the rescue with a good idea about how the boys and girls can get a drink, feed the hungry throat developed after several hours strenuous exercise, and manage to do it without feeling like a following sheep? T h a n k Y o u !

There are many people around the ivy covered walls of our institution of learning who remind us, for one reason or another, of certain popular songs. P'rinstance, . . . B a r b a r a S t i m s o n — " I ' v e got my love to keep me w a r m . " J o h n K e a n e y — " I ' v e got you under my s k i n . " . . . Nina Cox "Boston T e a P a r t y " . . . Andy J o h n s o n — " L e t ' s call the whole thing off."

1932—Only 20 turned out for track. R e -hearsals under way for "P irates of Penzance. " Mr. Pickett is w i n -ner in a bowling contest between the men of Port High faculty and those of Great Neck.

1927—Port Swamps Sea Cliff in open-ing baseball game. 14-1. T h e or-chestra under the supervision of Mr. Dimmick is planning for a n elaborate program at Commence-ment Exercises.

Q U E S T I O N : Do you think the B a n d and Orchestra should be excused from school classes i n the Spring to attend the Music Contests?

C H E S T E R J A S I N S K I , a Senior r e -plied, " I certainly do because the high school band and orchestra have done much for this school and so should have this privilege."

M I S S D U F F Y , a L a t i n teacher a n -swered, " B y al l means ! However, I think provision should be made for the s tu -dents whose schoolwork is not satis-factory."

J O Y C E D E N D I E V E L , a Sophomore said. "Why, of course I I t promotes their musical interests and encourages their work."

B O B D O N A L D S , a Senior responded, " Y e s . I think they should be excused. They've worked hard and deserve a v a -cation. "

T H O M A S W I L H E L M S E N , a Sopho-more answered, " I approve because it provides good experience for band and orchestra members."

F R A N K J O S T , a Junior said, "No, because it's near regents and every-body will be kept back three or four days on account of the band . "

J U N E A L L I N G T O N , a Senior de-clared, " Y e s . after al l , i t Isn't a per-sonal achievement but one for the honor

of the school. "

'Times Post' Awards Medals on April 26

Famous Celebrities To Laud Winners In Auditorium

This coming Friday evening, Apri l 23, the Port Washington Times-Post wi l l award gold medals to Mr. Van Bode-graven. Harriet B. Li t t ig , and Mr. Wil l iam P. Hewett. The presentation wi l l take place in the high school audi-torium and wi l l be open to the general public wi th no admission charge.

This is contrary to the original plan of having a banquet i n honor of the medal winners. The change was made after many Port Washington residents expressed the opinion that the affair should be open to the public instead of to the few that would be able to attend the banquet.

A section of the auditorium wi l l be reserved for the prominent people of New York and Long Island. Five prom-inent speakers wi l l address the group. They are Gabriel Heatter, noted news commentator; U. S. Senator Royal S. Copeland; U. S. Representative Caro-line O'Day; Harry P. Guggenheim, and Federal Judge Wil l iam Clark.

Prior to the ceremony at the high school, an informal dinner wi l l be given at one of the local yacht clubs for the outstanding people and participants of the evening. Approximately 50 peo-ple wi l l attend.

The school orchestra wi l l play at the high school ceremonies and Mr. Albert R. Beatty, editor of the Times-Post, wi l l introduce the speakers.

The original plan of the paper was to choose two people, a man and a wo-man, who had contributed outstanding and unselfish service to the commim-ity. A committee of fifteen prominent people, headed by Mr. Harry T. Gug-genheim, American Ambassador to Cuba, was chosen to select the winners. Since a decision between two of the winners could be reached, i t was de-cided to include the person wi th the other two.

The committee was aided in the se-lection of the winners by comments from townspeople and through the readers of the local paper.

New Books Offered By School Library

Edna Perber's 'Stage Door' Is Included In List

Have you often wanted to be amused —to laugh for a few hours? Then why don't you go to the library and get "You Can't Take I t Wi th You," which you can take wi th you? This hilarious play was written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. The pages are just bursting wi th nonsense and humor wi th a foundation of good sense.

"Stage Door," which is a three-act play by Edna Perber, is another amus-ing new book which can be gotten in our school library. I t has currently been playing on Broadway, starring Margaret Sullavan.

I f you happen to be in a serious shape of mind, which you carmot, i f you have read the two aforementioned books: then you must read "Time Out of M i n d " by Rachel Field. It 's an u n -usual novel of the Fortune family In Maine. I f you like sentiment and ro-mance, this wi l l probably appeal to you.

And listen Romeos— Miss Pelton es-pecially recommends "Escape to the Tropics" by Desmond Holdridge. I t is something different. I t entertains as well as informs. I t concerns young people, strange countries, and adven-ture.

And, dear bookworms, (pardon my French) I f you want more friends who are not book friends, then you should read "How to Win Friends and I n -fluence People" by Dale Carnegie. I t is a popular and inspirational book show-ing how to please people, w i th exam-ples cited of the successes or failures of famous persons.

June 4 Nassau County Meet — location undecided.

By Richard Eddy and Alan rioidd With the training being carried on for two weeks in preparation for the

coming meets, the Track Team has begun to take shape. The abundance of Junior Weight men is rounding out into a group that should aid the Blue and White track stars not only in the large invitation meets but i n the dual meets. This lighter group is led by Kenny Morrison, a returning letterman from last year. The Sophomores and a few from the Junior High compose most of the Junior Weights.

The track team shows plenty of promise. Only one of last year's lettermen, "Eggy" Lewis, was lost by graduation. Herb Carpenter, letterman i n the hurdles last year, was not out for the team this Spring. B i l l Effertz, who placed second i n this event at the La Salle invitation meet last June, is expected to more than make up for his loss.

Wi th Bob Lang in the dashes, Lee Mehan in the mile, Bi l l Effertz in the hurdles and broadjump, Joe Lamberti in the pole vault, and Johnny Carlson in the shotput. Port looks weak only in the middle distance races.

The winged footers meet their first test on Apri l 22nd when the Track Team of Farmingdale journeys here for a dual meet. The Portsters wi l l be out for revenge for last year's one sided defeat by the "Dalers."

By Robert Mac Galium For the past two weeks, the Port baseball squad has been extremely active

in the business of shaping up for the season's schedule. Their efforts have not been without success for under Coach Seeber's watchful eye all veterans and rookies alike have been put to test.

Batting practice, which started on Monday, has brought to light many po-tential hitters among the lot. Thorough infield practice has not been at al l absent and those four positions wi l l probably contain: Oscar Petersen at first, "Mac" McCarthy at second, Stan Smith at short stop ,and either Frank Mark-land or John Hooper holding down the hot corner.

The batteries have also been through their share of the hard work. Among the four backstops who appeared at the in i t ia l practice three stand out: Phi l Norton, Art Duffy and "L indy" Lamberti. The problem of which one Is superior is a tough one for Coach Seeber to solve. Jack Osborne and "Zook" Zaremba are the top men on the pitching staff which is rather small this year.

As to who wil l perform in the outer garden narrows down to four liked athletes. They are Bernie Mallon, Mike Romeyko, Lee Mehan. and Don Harsh-barger. "Zook" Zaremba wi l l also play i n the field when not doing mound duty.

Among the able substitutes for the nine positions are A r t Nelson, first; Tony Augustino, second; Frank Smith, short, and Bob Clark, th i rd base. Wi th this string of diamond adherents the Blue and White should leave a none too poor record of games won when they have finished their fourteen games sched-ule on May 28. The ini t ia l game wi th the local postoffice gang was played last Tuesday, too late to be reported i n this issue. The second game was played wi th the postoffice nine yesterday; also too late to make this week's paper. Another encounter wi th the same ballplayers wi l l take place next Tuesday.
