Vol. XXVI—No. 25 Port Washington Senior Kgh, Friday, May 23, 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS Pupils Engage In A-Bomb Resarch In order to prepare them for a possible atomic attack, the seniors were shown a special movie on May 8. Dr. Levine and Mr. Hoffmann of Queens Col- lege, who are doing research for the U. S. Air Force, presented this movie. After the classes had been seen the movie, they were tested on their perception ability in seeing a movie of this kind. These tests will be rated and compared with similar tests made in eleven other schools. This movie stated that one of the graatest dangers involved in an attack is falling glass. There- loie, one should protect himself by taking shelter in a room with few windows. The most effective procedure in an atomic attack is to drop I c bomb iDout 20C0 feeet above the spot that you wish to destroy. Where tht; bomb explodes is called "ground zero" and every- thing there will be destroyed for a radius of about half a mile. Student Of Week It isn't very often that we come across a student who de- serves the title, "All Around Girl," but in 17-year-old Carolyn Crisafulli, we find an excellent example. "Cris" is well-known around Port High for her active interest in school affairs. She is a mem'ber of the steering com- CAROLYN CRISAFULLI mittee and has served on the student council for two years. Besides her student-government activities, Cris is an ardent par- ticipant in most sports. Archery and volleyball are her favorites. An avid Yankee fan, Cris follows the exploits of her favorite team with great loyalty. Since she is an honor student with a high average, Cris belongs to Celerity, Clio, and Latin Club. Since she is interested in acting and the theater, she is a member of Theater Group and Red Domi- no. Tomorrow Brings Carnival To High School •>! /.V New School's Exterior Nears Finish Clanking, rasping, buzzing and chugging have been coming from the area behind Port High for quite a while now, and it is certain that all the students are aware of the fact that a new high school is being constructed behind the present Flower Hill-Port High buildings. The bond issue financing the three-story building was voted in 1950 in a hotly con- as part of the expansion pro- tested election, school system's gram. The new building presents a modern extericr of glass and red brick, and its spacious corridors and airy classrooms will provide an atmosphere of freedom and learning. Expanded shop, home economics, and administration fa- cilities will add much to the school. The teachers will apprec- ate the faculty dining room, and the students will like the cavern- ous gym which will accommo- date about 2000 people—no more crowded basketball games and restricted admission to Sports Night! General construction expenses for the new schcol will be albout $2,530,000. Grading and landscape work will cost $150,000, and $70,- 000 has been allotted for equip- ment. Tropical Isle To Be Prom Theme The long-aiwaited Junior Prom, presented by the class of 1953 will take place on May 31, begin- ning at nine p.m. and lasting un- til one a.m. The admission fee to this tropical island set in a star- ry sea will ibe $2.50 for everyone, couple or stag, with or without G.O. ticket. Of course the dance will be traditionally formal. Chairmen of the various com- mittees have already been chosen and are hard at work. Olga Os- terholm is in charge of publicity, Dorian Davis of decorations, An- nabelle Sloane refreshments, Bob Price is executive chairman of the prom. Guidance To Lose Mrs. E, Webster To the dismay of the students of Port High, Mrs. Webster, the girls' guidance counselor, will iCtire at the end of this school vear becaNse she feels that after 30 years of teaching she has com- pleted her job thoroughly. Miss Barbara Thonnpson, who recently laught in Scarsdale, N. Y., will aoid her position next year. Mrs. Webster, formerly known as Esther Farlinger, has the fol- lowing to say about her work during the previous years in Port Washington, "I shall miss the young people in Port Washing- ton High School It has been fun working with them and if they live up to my expectations, all will do well with the world. I will be in Port Washington until after I help to elect a new presi- dent. Then I plan to spend eight months in Italy, Greece, Turkey and Switzerland. Of course, I will climb a few mountains, sure- ly Etna and Vesuvious." She acquired many years of ed • ucation attending such outstand- ing colleges as St. Lawrence Uni- versity, New York School of Ex- pression, University of Rochester, Oxford University and New York University. While a student at these various colleges, her chief interests chaneled in the lines of mathematics, in which she hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree, Junior High Administration and teaching problems, psychology and Personnel Administration. In the later study she has obtained (Continued on Page 2) After several months of inten- sive preparation. Port Washing- ton High is a last ready to pre- sent its Annual Spring Carnival. It will be held tomorrow and will last all day, starting at 10:00 a. m. with a car parade of which Bill Chapman is in charge. The ;chedule for the rest of the day is as follows: At 10:30 the booths open and the pet parade starts. At 11:00 the bicycle parade be- gins. A yo-yo contest mainly for the kids in Junior High will com- mence. After this will come the faculty show and the circus. Booths will close at 5:30 p.m. ex- cept for the refreshment booth which will remain open. At the Carnival Queen contest at 7:30 P.M. the judges will pick the Carnival Queen. She is the one who draws the chances, At 8:30 the Band concert begins and after that there will be dancing on the tennis courts to end the day. Proceeds for Scholarships The proceeds from the carnival go towards the scholarship fund, which is not only for college but also for art, music, or other courses or lessons. Several weeks ago the home-rooms started their varicus chance-ships around the course which is outlined next to the bulletin-board in the hall. So far we have gone over the $600 mark in chance book sales, but there are still a lot of chances yet to be counted. The break- down of chance book sales by homerooms is as follows: 209-91, 208-73, 203-58, 110-55, 206-53, 103-50, 108-39, 105-37, 107-33, 102-27, 109-24, G-2 - 22, 111-22, G-3 -21, 204-20, 211-19, 205-19, 207-18, 201-17, and 106-6. Among the many people who have helped the carnival is Myrna Horowitz and the art staff who have done all the carnival posters by silk screening. Also on several days this week groups went to the grade schools and to Junior High to tell them about the car- nival.

MR. R O B E R T H. F A R S O N

Carnival The long-awaited carnival is

f ina l ly here — w e l l , A L M O S T here. Tomorrow the football f ie ld w i l l be transformed into a gay and colorful panorama of booths and banners. Tomorrow the place w i l l be infested w i t h foreigner.? f r om the grade and jun ior high scnools, m e r r i l y pouring their pennies into the k i t t y for next year's G. O. Scholarships. Ten sion w i l l rise as the time for drawing the chances on the $250 cash vacation fund, draws near but the excited chance-buyers w i l l be -diverted by the antics of Port High's pros as they display their talent in the circus. A n d ol course, everyone w i l l rave about the eerie House Of Horrors, the delicious refresliments, and the b r i l l i a n t decorations.

What a lot of work has been put into this or.e-day affair. I t w i l l be relat ively easy to total up the f inancial results w i t h ad-ding machines and cash regis-ters, but i t w i l l be impossible to count the investment that the hard -working students have put into i t . Who can add up the sore feet and blistery heels of the relentless chance-sellers? How can we eveluate exactly tne hours of planning and w o r r y spent by the chairmen? What is the pre -cise price of the br ight ideas and wonderful inspiration of the con-struction crew? And how could

we ever pay for things l ike t a l -ent, imagination, and p la in hard work which have contributed so much to the success of the car-nival?

Of course it 's impossible to con-v e i [ S U C H tning£ into a ao i ior -and cents f igure. No amount of money could ever equal the en-tnusiasm and spir i t which some people have put in on the car-nival . "Why , " some ask, "has everyone worked so hard on this carnival?" The answer is simple; tne hard -work ing students who have contributed so much to this a i x a i r were doing so because tney L c i t that a cause which was good for their school was w o r t h their l ime and effort.

A l though we often denounce the seemingly appall ing lack of that evasive th ing called "school s p i r i t " in Port High , we really must congratulate a l l those con-nected w i t h the carnival in any way. These arc the people w i t h the real "School s p i r i t " — people who are w i l l i n g to devote their time and talent to school-pro-moted orojects. These are the people who are keeping alive Port's t radi t ion of co-operation and hard work . I f there were more people l ike those who've been so conscientious about their carnival jobs, our school would certainly be much, much better.

Senior Banquet On June 11, the senior class

w i l l again have its annual ban-quet in the high schoo' cafeteria. Different senior students have been chosen to head up the com-mittees in charge of the class w i l l , prophecy, and history, the menu and the entertainment. More ajbout this great event will appear in the next issue.

Let's Be Serious I n the great major i ty of the

classes at Por.t H i g h > there is itoo much humor and nut e n o u g h work . Contrary to popular belief, students do not attend school to have a good time, or to be en-tertained (after a l l , why do you th ink they invented television?) but to receive the best education obtainable. The taxpayer of our community have gone to consi-derable expense to provide the schools, bcoks, and instructors for their public school system, and i t is our job to make the best use of them.

But do we make the best of them? Sorry to say, we don't. We spend about sixty percent of c ur classroom time in guffawing, and about t w e n t y percent in th ink ing . (The other twenty per-cent is devoted to doing one's French.) It 's about t ime we woke up to the fact that although laughter is a healthful and en-tertaining indoor sport, i t does not encourage the best school-work .

The blame for this situation lies w i t h both the students and the teachers. The students should

realize that giggling does not teach you the binomial theorem, and snickering does not instruct you in the use of the subjunctive. When they go on to college or to employment, they w i l l learn that they are expected to work as much as humanly possible, and to laugh only when there is some-th ing real ly funny. These people who search every situation for even the slightest trace of humor w i l l soon learn—the hard way— that there is a t ime and place fcr everything, especially laugh-ter. Teachers who vainly t r y to make their classes more interest-ing by in ject ing stale jokes and wisecracks only waste t ime, bore the students, and otherwise make fools of themselves. It 's later than you t h i n k — b u t it 's not too late to start tak ing things more sericusly than we have been.

Bright bubbly balloons! Tw in -kle, twinkle , twinkle!

Up they go, and with them The hopes and dreams of the

Carnival chairman Up, up, up! Banners flutter, ponies neigh. And little girl sobs because she

has lost her nickel. As the vict ims slide into the

house of horrors Screaming as they go in gay

terror of the unknown things to come, the mone y rolls happily into the cash register and Mr. Hendrickson smiles his inscrut-able, secret l ittle smile.

Money! Money! "Only ten cents a throw!" "Win a prize!" "Buy a char.ce—only three for

a quarter!" "Worthy cause!" "Student scholarships!" "Mommy, can I have a

quarter?" 'M o mm y , can I have a hot

dog?" "Mommy, can I go home?" Color and noise everywhere . Coke is spil led on n e w spring

dresses. Tired feet ache. Prizes are rumpled Crumpled Crushed and creased. The hopes and fears of strug-

gl ing humanity-Are consummated in this one

But I am here to loudly cheer The blue Cayuga waters.
