Port To Meet Southside In County Battle 'Milky Way' Plans Vear Final Stage

Rehearsals for "The Milky Way" are becoming longer and more fre-quent as the date of the twenty-

' second moves closer. Mr. Ehre has been working on the third act this last week; Monday he will combine all three acts for the final week's work on the play.

Other preparations beside those for the actual production have been in operation. Margaret Dick, who heads the ushering committee, has chosen eight girls, taking seniors first, for the job. They are as fol-lows: Adelaide Crawley,- Kathryn Woodward, Joan SantaneUio, Ida Yewell, Marion Brunola, Rose Im-perial, Tessie DeMeo, Jane Geresi, and Helga Bodtker.

Ray EUiot and his reliable stage crew, consisting of Gene Elliott, Dick Cromwell, Roy Schauer and Vene Wilkinson, have been working hard on scenery.

Stage manager Mary Louise Teta has been engaged in supervising backstage operations.

Larry Lord, Dick Kirkup and Kemp Reade, plus other prominent members of the cast, have been rehearsing with the rest of the cast since work on the second act commenced.

Other production departments are as follows: Properties, headed by Ruth SchoU and Margaret Dick; Sound, Ricky Renson; Posters, Jan-eth Stewart and Claire Campbell.

J. Bomer To Represent Port In County Contest

Since Jacqueline Bomer was given first prize in the recent American Legion oratorical contest held in the auditorium, she wiU represent this school at the county competition to be held at Mineola during the latter part of March. The prize awarded to her by the local Legion group was $5, while Dale Ely, taking sec-ond place, received $3.00. Ryder Am-thor, who placed third, was awarded $2.00. Other participants in the con-test were Adelaide Crawley, Don-ald CoUings, and Holm Hinrichs.

The judges of the contest were Mr. Otto Berger, representing the American Legion Post, Mrs. Ralph Rankin, wife of the former school board president, and Mr. Vinnl Tibbets, superintendent of schools in Manhasset.

Celerity-Retort Dance Saturday, April 5th

Plans for the annual Celerity-Retort Dance have been progressing at a good pace. Buckie Walker and his Orchestra will supply the music. Dress will be strictly formal, and admission will be $1.00 for couple or stag. The affair will take place on Saturday, April 5th.

Celerity members have been en-gaged in planning decorations, and Retort members will soon be selling tickets.

Although there was some discus-sion of having the dance a formal hen-hop, the idea was voted down 30 to 20 by the combined member-ship of the two clubs.

Port Clio Club To View City's Historical Spots

The Clio met March 12, and the initiations for the new members were completed. The members were entertained by a movie, "Tobacco Land".

There are at present 35 people signed up to go on the trip planned for March 29. On this trip the Clio plans to visit the Stock Ex-change, Trinity Church, Teddy Roosevelt's Home, Ellis Island, and to have lunch at Fraunces Tavern. They also plan to see the play "Flight to the West", the tickets for which will cost 55 cent's each. All other expenses will be paid by the Clio.

There is still room for 13 more Clio members who, if they care to go, should see either Ann Ross or Mrs. Johnson. However, they must arrange to buy their own theater tickets.

Weekly Staff Members Attend Conference

Several members of the t>ort Weekly staff are attending the Columbia Scholastic Press Conven-tion, held annually at Columbia first sessions were held yesterday afternoon. The convention is in progress all today, and tomorrow there will be further meetings, and the convention banquet.

Those who are attending are: Mr. Kezar, Roanne Hicks, Barbara Reade, Everett Wilson, Martin Lewis, Ruthanne Studebaker, June Johnson, Kathryn Woodward, Roy Larssen, and Dale Bronson.

$25 To Be Prize Li Essay Contest

In conjunction with the nation-wide essay contest sponsored by the Elks National Defense Committee, the local Elks group is going to award to some student from Port Washington, Great Neck, or Man-hasset High School a prize of $25 for the best essay submitted on the subject "What Uncle Sam Means to Me".

Several of the English teachers in the school are assigning this essay as a part of the regular work, and the best from among them will be submitted to the Elks group. Any-one else can submit an essay if they so desire.

The national prizes will be $1,000, $500, and $250, with other state prizes being given.

The deadline for essays by which time they must be in the hands of the Elks is March 31, 1941. Essays must be typed or written in long-hand, with typing greatly preferred, on one side of the paper only, and should be from 300 to 500 words in length.

Traffic Squad Plans To Cooperate With Council

The trafQc squad at their meeting on March 10 discussed changes in the noon duty posts.

There will be three different shifts with eight people on each. The girls will take care of the sec-ond floor; the boys, the basement floor. The boys are on the ground floor in cooperation with the coun-cil's cafeteria activities.

The squad needs more applica-tions from the boys. Anyone can get an application blank from Mr. Brown, Russell Beckley, or any member of the squad.

Freeport To Be Scene Of Action

Tonight at 8:30 p. m., the Port Washington High School basketball team, third placer in the North Shore league, will face Southside High's aggregation, as a result of the title battle between Woodnjere and Southside on Tuesday night, where the latter won by the score of 27 to 24, making them cham-pions of the South Shore circuit. This game is a part of the play-off tournament conducted by section eight of the N. Y. State PubUc High School Athletic Association.

The general organization is run-ning a bus to the game, with tickets costing 25 cents. The admission at the gate will be 25 cents to siudents, and 40 cents to adults, so it is advisable to bring one's G. O. ticket, or similar identification.

The Southside team is a strong combination, with all but one of its first-stringers over six feet, but it is expected that their star center, who is one the highest scorers on the South Shore, will not be able to play, due to sickness. -

Port's fellows are in good shape, and will go into battle in high gear.

Senior Poll To Be Port Light Feature

As a special feature of the 1941 Port Light, the editors are plan-ning a Senior Poll for inclusion in the annual. The class will be asked to state who iii their judgment, best qualifies to be classified as the following:

Class Wit (boy). Most Popular (boy or girl). Done Most For Port High (boy or girl). Best Dancer (boy or girl). Done Port High For Most (boy or girl).

Typical Port Washingtonite (boy and girl), Laziest (boy). Best Natured (boy and girl), Biggest Grind (boy), and Biggest Heart-Breaker (boy and girl).

Ballots will be passed out In . homerooms on Thursday, March

20th, and are to be turned in an Friday at 1:00 p. m.

EDITORIAL The Port Weekly March 14, 1941

Attendance At The Games student attendance at this season's basketball

games has been much greater than i n other years. At out-of-town games the crowd from Port has been as large as, or larger than, the number of students who attend from the opposing school.

Students are to be commended for their enthusi-astic turn-out at all games. Let us hope that this is not due entirely to the fact that Port has had a •winning team this year, but rather that they want to cheer for their school team, may i t win or lose.

This school spirit is certainly a thing for Port to be proud of. Let's keep i t up!

Bouquets To Council By far one of the best acts done by the present

administration of the school is the undertaking to clean up the cafeteria. The council is to be commended upon the splendid methods i t is using to remedy the situation. The fact that already things have improved is enough to satisfy the council's rulings. Students that go home for lunch certainly can find something to keep them busy unt i l twelve-forty. There should be no complaint from this quarter; and i t should be to the lunchers' advantage to clear up the debris that has accumulated through their carelessness. Once again let us extend thanks to our representatives for their fine work, and let us also give them our complete and whole-hearted support which also includes our co-operation.

Good Marks Needed When you receive your report card and have yoiu-

first glance, are you perfectly satisfied with what you see there? No matter how good the marks appear. Isn't i t always best to say " I can do better?" You might say that you're utterly gratified to see your S in such and such, but down deep in your heart, wouldn't you feel highly elated to see H in its place? I f you think you'll ever make the grade i n life by barely sliding through, you've got another think com-ing. 'Employers are looking for those students who have proven themselves worthy of a good position, not those who say, "Well, I 'm glad I got through". Better grades mean better jobs. Better jobs mean an establishment in the world of society.

— — Cholly Knickerbocker, Jr. — — Mrs. Reid's senior ballroom club had its Spring

party last Saturday night. Due to the snow storm, I t was suddenly changed from formal to informal, but al l had a good time. Decorations followed the St. Patrick's Day theme. Those who attended were: RUTHANNE STUDEBAKER, JEAN GALLOWAY, K A T H R Y N WOODWARD, BARBARA KINGSLEY, ALETHA H A M M , BEVERLY AMTHOR, CHARLOTTE BREAZNELL, JACKIE BOMER, ANN MORGAN, IDA YEWELL, ANN ROSS, DALE ELY, ANNA MARIE THOMASON, and DOROTHY HARRISON; ROY LARSSEN, M A R T I N LEWIS, P A t n ^ WILLIAMS, DICK K I R K U P , RYDER AMTHOR, B I L L H A M I L -TON, B I L L HELFRICH, WARREN BAKER, K E L V I N KABLE, JOHN SCHAEFPER, PRANK WOOLEY, BLAIR CORNEY, H A L MACARTNEY, and DON COLLINGS.

After the Play-Troupe presentations last Friday night at the Junior High School, there was a short barn dance. Those attending from the Senior High school were: ANN MORGAN and PETER WITHERS, CHARLOTTE BREAZNELL and DAVID SPRAGUE, PETE LOISEAUX and JEAN SWAIN, and ROGER MONTGOMERY.

Guidance Office To Be Open In Evening

On Monday evening, March 17, from 7:30 to 9:30, the members of the Guidance Department will be in the senior high school guidance office to confer with parents who find it impossible to come to the school during school hours. Appointments may be made by calling F.W. 2070.

Everett Wilson: His Daze Pants or Skirts? That is the Question.

After observing some of the latest styles, we have come to the conclusion that Mother really does wear the pants in the family. The girls are even wearing coats now. As yet, we have not observed any vests on the members of the feminine sex. Any day now, we expect to see the boys walk down the halls of dear old P.W.S.H.S. in skirts.

Can't you just imagine the football team in hockey skirts. We have always thought that Dan Brimm would look very alluring with a rose in his hair. After smelling some of the hair tonic appUed to certain masculine craniums, we don't believe that the boys wil l ever have to resort to perfume.

Why even today you can observe unwary boys being whisked away in the automobiles (or should we insult the name of automobile) of many gals.

This column wishes to propose that Graeme Zimmer and some of his l itt le friends would look extremely attractive wielding kni t t ing needles through the air.

The clerk of the marriage bureau recently reported that most of the grooms are dragged into the bureau by the brides. We are not surprised at this since i t is not an uncommon thing for a young lady to. use the cave woman technique on her would-be spouse. (And do we love it?)

One thing that has not been taken over by the femmes is pipe-smoking; but i t won't be long now. I n the household of the future. Mama w i l l go off to work while Papa stays home and does the dishes.

Perhaps such ideas don' t belong in a bowling column, but I can ' t he lp protest ing vehemently a t t he raw h a n d na tu re deals to us s tu-dents . If i t weren' t for the bowling we do on Monday, I would lose my fa i th in life, considering t h a t it always snows on Friday n igh ts i n -s tead of Sunday evenings. But t h a t is beside the point, dear s tudents .

Last week, every girl improved he r score, and Miss Buckley did herself proud. 'Miss Sammis is learning rapidly, and since every-th ing is so ducky, the team is seriously considering the idea of competing with other schools (as if the other schools could offer any competit ion) and perhaps next week will show some definite plans.

The team consists of Myrtle Web-ster, Helen Kelly, R o a n n e Hicks, Carolyn (Sis) Hammet t , R u t h Bard, and Frances Taylor.

12B's Stai Retain Inter-Class Lead

The 12B's assured themselves of a tie for first place by their vic-tory over the lOB's. Displaying the best basketball they have play-ed to date, they defeated the lOB's by the score of 18-13. The 12B forces were led by Grzywac, who scored 6 points. Ted Parmelee was high scorer for the lOB's.

The l l A ' s remained i n the r u n -ning by turning i n a comparatively easy victory over the helpless 12A's. The score was 1&-8. Jimmy O'Day again led the 11 As' forces by scor-ing 9 points. Allison Brooks was high scorer for the 12As' wi th 5 points.

The l l B s ' finally broke into the winning column at the expense of the lOAs'. The lOAs' were very much handicapped when the majority of the' team had to play wi th Jimior High. The game was a real tussle right up to the losing m i n -utes when a goal by Hooper clinch-ed the game. The final score was 16-14. Hooper was high scorer for the l l B s ' with 11 points. Pete Dunn led the lOAs' again this time wi th 7 points.

The games this afternoon wi l l tell the tale when the 12Bs' meet a strong lOA team and the l l A s ' meet a fairly good lOB aggregation. 6hould the 12Bs' lose and the 11 As' win, i t wi l l then result i n a tie. But should they win, or the l l A s ' lose, they "wil l have won the league.

The volleyball season closed last Thursday with a game at Sea Cliff. There had been another game scheduled but i t was cancelled. This last game was played on a very large court and consequently the number of players was increased from nine to fifteen. Only one more game was played but quite a few subs were put in . The final score was 21-11 i n favor of Sea Cliff.

Two basketball games were played at Sea Cliff on March 6th. During the first team game, Teddy Ulz-mann made the first basket and f o l -lowed i t up wi th a successful foul shot. Sea Cliff scored and then Net-tie Salerno made the next action shot. At the half the score was 8-5_ i n Sea Cliff's favor. Subs were put in for Port at this time and at the end of the th i rd quarter, Nettie made another basket which was fo l -lowed up by a good foul shot by Sea Cliff. Teddy, not to be outdone, scor-ed another basket under heavy guarding. The f inal score was 9-11 with Sea Cliff ahead. Rose Smiles

"reffed" this game. I n the second team game. Sea

Cliff scored first. Martha Zaremba followed this by shooting two bas-kets. On the whistle, Billie Camp-bell shot for a basket which was too late. The first quarter score was 4-2. A t the beginning of the next ses-
