Open House Election Day The Port Weekly Vol. XII. No. 7. Port Washington Senior High School, Friday, November 1, 1935 Price: Five Cents High School Presentation Big Success John Anderson Stars In 'Broken Dishes' AUDIENCE OF OVER 500 Play Nets Over $250; To Be Used For Port Light "Broken Dishes", Martin Flavin's touching comedy, was enthusiatic- ally received Saturday evening Oc- tober 26, in the High Schol audi- torium. The proceeds of the pro- duction will be applied to the Port light fund in an effort to bring the price down to that of las.t year's book, which was $.75. Over $250 was grossed, and as the expenses amounted to ".pproximately $40, the Port Light should receive at least $200. The play was presented by Miss Bonnie R. Hawthorne and ranked among- the best given in the High School auditorium. Parts WeU Portrayed The comedy was well cast and axsted throughout, with John Ander- son, as the brow-beaten husband, excelling in his part and running away with the stellar honors be- cause of the interpretation of his difficult role Marjorie Wheeler, as Elaine, the pretty heroine, was ade- quate in her part, as was Ai-thur Woelfl, who played opposite her in the role of Bill Clark, the delivery boy who was in love with her. This is the first time that either of these students took a major part in any play, and both did very well, con- sidering their lack of dramatic ex- perience. Antoinette Keaney ren- dered an excellent portrayal of the domineering wife, Jennie, who ruled the Bumps-tead household with an iron hand. 5Sary West, a prim school teache-, and Dorothy Bohn, as her sister, both turned in good performances. Dick Hawes, as the Rev. Dr. Stump, Charles Lincoln, as Chester Armstrong, and Bob Van Name, the perennial poUceman, as a plain clothesman, all rate due credit for thei'- work. During the intermissions, che Senior High School Orchestra, twice State Champions, played sev- eral numbers The scenery was made by the students of the dra- matic classes, and the publicity was managed by Margaret Rinehart and Helen Brock. The next dramatic event to be held in the school will be the inter- class ons-act play contest, which will take placp on the 15th of Nov- ember. On December 20 the pan- tomime classes will present "The Sleeping Beauty". "The Cradle Song" will also be given on this date. School Average Is 75.4 Per Cent.

By GEORGE BANGS A very powerful Great Neck team upset and decisively defeated the 1934 North .Shore Champions last Saturday on the Port Washington athletic field, 14-6. A crowd of about 1500 enthusiasts witnessed this hard-fought classic of the sea- son, played for the benefit of the Port Washington Athletic Associa- tion. Great Neck scored both touch- downs on passes. The first was a short pass to Reed i i i t h e initial per- iod, and the second was another short pass to Captain Don Bangert in the final period. Al Smith made a sensational run back of a Great Neck punt in the second quarter to score Port's lone tally. Petersen Opens Game Irving Petersen kicked off for Port to the Grea*- Neck 15 yard line where the bal' was returned to the 30. On the first play of the game Great Neck irade a first down on the Port 45 y?rd line. Reed made two yards around right end, follow- ed by an incomplete pass. Another first down was registered on the Port 30 yard marker. Stan Smith threw Reed for a 1 yard loss. Red Bienkiewicz tossed two incomplete passes and then Reed caught the third pass on the goal line and scor- ed standing up. As the teams lined up for conversion, Irving Petersen was replaced by Herb Carpenter. Owens' placekick was good. Great Neck Kicks Off Great Neck kicked off to Port, and the Blue and White forces had their first chance to show what they could really do; but they just couldn't break through the Great Neck de- fense. A kicking duel ensued be- tween Al Smith and Owens with odds about even. Near the end of the period Port threatened to score. Owens had kicked to the Port 40 yard line. Bob Richter. Al Smith, and Tom Keates plunged for a first down on the Orange and Blue 46 yard line. Al Smith lost eight yards attempting to pass. Then came the most beautiful kick of the after- noon. Standing back on his own 45 yard line, Al Smith sent a long spiral down the field that went out of bounds on the 2 yard line. Great Neck immediritely kicked back to its own 25. Lacher went in for Dar- gan. A plunge and a pass netted 8 yards. On last down a pass to (Continued on Page Four)

and on the premises has become more and more dominant. The question as to the moral side of smoking has not been raised by the school authorities. The issue has been raised, however, as to the ad-visaibility of breaking the school law concerning smoking.

Few of the students realize that i t is not the school administrators who make th.3 laws in Port High; it is the community. The people of Port Washington, who suppor't the public school? by their taxes, have the right to demand that certain rules be made and enforced; and they exercise this right. When stu-dents are seen smoking on the school grounds and immediately off them, people feel that the school authorities approve of smoking, and do nothing to prevent i t . I t is not fair that Mr. Merr i l l , Mr. Schreiber and the faculty be criticized be-cause a minority of the students feel i t necessary to light a cigarette the instant they get out of the building. And some few don't even bother to wait unt i l they're out. So when you sta-t to light a cigarette, think of the other side of i t , and wait unt i l you're where i t wiU harm no one.

Honor Due Mark T w a i n

THROUGHOUT the nation to-day, 100 years after his birth,

tribute is being paid Samuel Clem-ens, the popular American humor-ist, whose "books, written under the name of Mark Twain, have made him loved wherever English is spoken. What boy does not count among his treasures "The Adven-tures of Tom Sawyer" and "Huckle-berry F i n n " ' What man does not look back with real delight to the time when he first read them, and, re-reading them now, finds new sources of humor? Even the serious historian finds them of value; for they give a very clear conception of life in a bygone day.

The river held a strong fascin-ation for him. He became a steam-boat pilot and wrote his "Life on the Mississippi." I t must have been during this time that he chose his pen name, for "Mark Twain" was a frequent call of the sounder to i n -dicate that the water was two fathoms deep.

I f you are not acquainted with the works of Mark Twain, you would derive a great deal of personal en-joyment in accomplishing this. The humor which is injected throughout his books tends to lighten the read-ing, but at the same time there is much to be gained from these sources.

Introducing

Miss Maher, G y m Teacher , Whose A i m Is To Interest

A l l Gir ls In Sports

When approached by this t imid soul, and asked the inevitable ques-tion "How do you like i t here?' Miss Maher, in her usual straight-forward manner, replied:

" I Uke the girls, their attitude and their co-operation with me. I do think, however, that they should develop more leadership and co-operation among themselves."

This new gym teacher studied physical education in Boston, grad-uated from Russell Sage College, and is now studying at New York University for her master's degree. Before arriving in our welcoming midst she taught at Sag Harbor.

"Always Kept Busy" We wondered if, having inaugur-

ated soccer in the school, and with all that goes with a new sport, she didn't find her time well filled. The answer to this, accompanied by a good-natured smile, was, "Well, I 'm always kept biisy and have no trou-ble sleeping at night! But it's those little 7th graders in particular. I like them especially—they're darling -^but they'll run the legs off you and ask 88 questions!"

Miss Maher's ambition is to get every gir l in the school interested in something. She believes that inter-est in some activity is a social asset and remarked: "Girls nowadays aren't meant to warm the family fireplace."

Has Plans For Winter Her hobby is golf; she plays

bridge, and enjoys i t , but vehement-ly denies that she is a fiend; she likes to knit, but hasn't the time, Not content v i t h having introduced soccer and hor.=eback riding into the school, she wants to start a tap dancing club for one afternoon a week, and a ping-pong tournament for girls as well as boys. As a part-ing shot she announced, with that already famous smile, " I ' m going to kleep the girls outdoors unt i l Thanksgiving, i f possible." And that is something newl

Cafeteria Patrons Enjoy Celerity Initiation Circus

The bloodhounds which pursued Eliza of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame had nothing on The numerous Celer-ity initiates, who were giving a very fine imitation of tfciose merciless beasts Wednesday afternoon in the cafeteria. However, the girls did not have their respective noses to the ground in an effort to pick up the t ra i l of a fugitive from justice; but rather to further the progress of a hitherto unimportant pencil in obedience to the .mandate of the initiation committee, which decreed that each girl should push a pencil with her organ of smell unt i l the former reached the other end of the cafeteria. Perhaps another reason for the hasto evidenced was the Celerity members who followed the neophytes with paddles which they used at their discretion

Pnsh PencUs

This pencil pushing stunt was just one of a long series of tasks which the prospective club members had to perform throughout the day. To begin with , it was ordained that the initiates wear a pair of shoes be-longing to a father or older brother. This was, in most cases, complied with, to the general impediment of traffic in the halls. Dresses were worn backwards, but in many i n -stances the change was not notice-able as they looked equally well worn thus. Teachers, when asked meekly i f they thought that i t was going to rain, oftimes became an-noyed to the confusion of the i n i t i -ates, who werf compelled to make that query in every class. But then, can you Wame the leacners for be-ing perturbed when 25 girls each asked the same thing six times dur-

ing the d a y And this happens twice a year!

During the noon hour, the mem-bers-to-be caTied trays (none too successfully in some cases), ren-dered various songs with varying enthusiasm, and partook of a hum-ble vegtable which usually accom-panies hamburgers. After this, the initiation com.mittee offered the u n -fortunate ones, wi th deceptive k ind -ness, small pieces of gum which bore a strong resemblance, outwardly, to Chiclets. They weren't.

Secret Passions Revealed After going through the nose f lat-

tening ordeal described above, not to mention others of less severity, the novices were obliged to submit to an inquisition. There was but one question: "Who is your secret passion?" Protestations were i n vain and by dint of much third degree, we obtained the following for our gentle readers:

I t seems that Mary West's choice was Benjamin Kirkup (Turkington, please note): Dot Bohn lovingly named her brother; Katherine Pat-ten picked that man about town, Daniel Weitzner; Virginia Hyland mentioned one Joe Boriott i ; Jane Willis reveale'^ i t was Oscar Peter-sen; LaVerne Tomlet picked Bob Ake; and most surprising of all , Bet-ty Shontz chose Paul Harrison. There were many more astounding revelations, but this has to end some time and. this seems as oppor-tune a time as any. For further information, drop in The Port Weekly office any time between 8:45 and 2:4'? and you wi l l be sure to fine some one only too eager to supply the wt-nted data, at a price!

RANK AND V I L E By F. Turkington

Ray Mazur, man about town, and Barbara Dext.er were seen leaving the movies at approximately 9:06 p. m., Tuesday, October 29. Some time later a black Pontiac coach was seen at the Estates Beach. The question we wish to raise is: When did they do their homework?

* * * The cafeteria wil l resound tonight

with the pound of drums and the sneer of saxophones. The dance committee was unable to decide be-tween Edde Duchin and Ray Noble so they compromised on Eddie Gun-ther and his Empire Stale boys. The young maestro admits that he has the best hand on Long Island just now.

I found this note Is^ng on a desk in t h e Port Weekly room Monday. Maybe some of you know more about i t than I do, "Did you see our former football captain and his 'girl from Tarrytown' in the grand-stand last week? Two of our stu-dents 'One Junior and one Sopho-more—sizzled as they looked in that direction. Do you know 'em?" (Last year's football captain was George Erb.)

Some of the colorful costumes worn at the play Saturday were afterwards seen at a dance at the Port Club. Supposedly, i t was a barn dance so red flannel shirts and blue overalls were the rule, but, as usual, many dissenters appeared more formally . . .

« * *

The high school loyally supported the Y. P. P. Dance last Friday and most of the crowd was composed of students. Clint Hal l and his as-sociates did their best and actually got through the evening without playing "Tiger Rag." This is a very incomplete list of the student couples attending: Shirley Warren and Pat Lord, Ruth Shontz and Roger Kavanagh, Carol Yetter and Ray Mazur, "Chet" Jost and Dot Frost, Jean Smith and Bob Pax-ton, Berna Df in e Purgett and John Anderson, Alvor Prankel and Ted Gregory, "Zech" Rinehart and George Bangs, Ruth Gulford and James Rinehart, and a triangle af-fair including Peggy Mordt, Bil l Maxon, and Bud Griffeis. Other combinations involving students i n -clude Mavis Freeman and Francis Larkin, Georgianna Knemyer and derive a great deal fo personal en-win Leslie, Marjorie Griffes and Dick Gould, and Faimie Woodwar and Phil Tomlet.

JUNIOR SNOOP

A Testimonial You, the pupils of the Port Wash-

ington Junior High School, don't know how fortunate you are i n be-ing able to attend such a fine school. I , for the past few years, have gone to a school where we had no study periods, no library, no cafeteria, only one shop, and no school band or orchestra. There all of our sub-jects were taught to us by one or two teachers while here you have a different teacher for each subject. The Port Washington schools rank • among the first in the State. Your textbooks and other equipment are the finest, and your teachers are the best.

Pupils Continue Banking Activity

S u r v e y Shows O n l y Small Number Bank

I t was heard that a certain B. B. bet a certain E. M . that she would not dare prompt him in a song he rendered at a recent assembly pro-gram. The girl also had to sit at the same time beside two faculty members. We wonder i f Eileen has gotten her ioa ca^am soda yet!

Short Story Once upon a time in a college one

member was always pulling off ter-rible puns, so the other members said he would be put off the faculty i f he continued telUng puns. The "punny" member quietly Siaid:

"Open (oh pim) the door."

Just Pals! I t seems, from the many docu-

ments obtained on the subject, that B i l l Griffes and Bud McQuade are the ibones in Miss Mallon's life.

We wish the student (or students) who put the envelope with soil in i t and wrote: "Here is some dirt you won't publish." on i t would come forward. Suc^ brains deserve res-ognition, and so to the sender we offer a position on the Port Junior of throwing poor material into the waste basket.

After a check-up on the reactions of the pupils toward school bank-ing, i t vsas decided to continue to conduct a pupils' savings bank this year. Despite the enthusiasm ex-pressed at the time, only a small percentage of the pupils are bank-ing.

On Monday October 21, only 187 pupils banked, although there were 574 pupils present. The total amount of money banked by the entire school was $74.55. This makes an average of 45 cents per pupil.

Highest Percentages The following homerooms had the

highest banking averages for that week: 9A-1, 79.4 per cent; 9B-3, 66.6 per cent, and 8A-1, 50 per cent. The cashiers in these homerooms are: Paula Freeman and Philip McQueen, 9B-3; Joseph Lamberti and Prances Brower, 9A-2, and Jeanne Freeman and Edmund T a l -bot, 8A-1. The average banking percentages for each homeroom was 32.6 per cent, which, i t was pointed out, is not an indication that many pupils are interested in school sav-ings. The 9A-2 deserves credit for having deposited the most money. The class deposit was $9.95.

Time is set aside on Monday dur-ing the seventh period for pupils to bank. Five cents is the lowest <|'eposit aljowed and all djsposits must be a uni*- of five or 10 cents to make bookkeeping more simple. Pupils who have been elected to the positiop in the homerooms are in charge of m.aking out slips and counting the money deposited. Homeroom teachers check the work of the cashiers and deposit the day's collection in the office.

Since we have encountered so many repetitions of this joke (?) in the Port Junior Box, we have decid-ed to publish i t to please the i n -sistent persons.

Why does the chicken cross the road?

To get the other side. Now that this is known to all, we

hope i t is the end of the joke. By the way, this is the end of the column.

PUMPKINS PROVE E X P E N S I V E Bert Schaur, a pupil of our Jun-

ior High, has a right to be very mournful. He was the holder of the winning ticket for the $50 prize offered by the Boosters Stores.

That was fine, but now comes the sad part. To win this prize one has to present his ticket before 9 o'clock. Bert, when his ticket was aimounc-ed, was i n the woods procuring pumpkins, and finally arrived at the nearest Booster Store a few m i n -utes late. He had previously thought that the pumpkins wouldn't cost anything, but believe Bert, those pumpkins were expensive.

Original Photos Shown I n School Librarv

John J. Floherty, well-known resi-dent of Port Washington and au-thor of a number of ilustrated books has allowed our library to exhibit many of the original photographs which he used as illustration in his books, "Guardsmen of the Coast," "Firefighters" and " 'Board the A i r -liner."

These photographs are of men and machines which are employed by the coast guard, the air lines and the fire department.

Mr. Floherty's books, which are also exhibited, contain vivid descrip-tions and pictures which tell the story of the experiences of men who have thri l l ing careers.

I t is expected that Mr. Floherty wil l give a talk in our assembly very soon.

Ninth Grade Wins Interclass Hockey

Eighth Grade Second; Seventh Grade Trails

(jfirls' inter-class Jhockey games are over and the results are as fo l -lows: 9th grade—first place; 8th grade—second place, and 7th grade — t h i r d place.

The game between the 7th and 8th grades was an exciting game. The 7th grade had the honor of scoring the first point but the 8th grade just had to win with the score of 3-1.

Player of Merit Helen Kleskowski, Jennie's " L i t -

tle Sister," is a very fine player and shows great ability in hockey. She has not only inherited the ability as a hockey player from her sister, Jennie, but also looks a great deal like her.

The game between the 8th and 9th grades was considered the best inter-cla^ss game played this year. Both the 8th and 9th grade girls realized that i t would be a close game and so they worked much harder to get the ball through the opposing team's goal.

The 9th grade finally came out victorious and wil l be given a party by the 7th and 8th grades combined.

Goal Keepers Have Trouble Sally Douglas, the goal keeper for

the 8th grade, furnished a great deal of amusement on the hockey field Wednesday, the 23rd. Every time she kicked the -ball, her footpad would fall off.

Kleen Montfort, the goal keeper for the 9th grade team, had only one chance during the whole game to kick the ball and she finally suc-ceeded in preventing the 8th grad-ers from getting a goal. The final score was 2-0.

Facts And Figures About The Junior High

By H. STEPHENSON Believe i t or not here are some

funny but true figures about Port Washington Junior High School and its students.

The time we spend in school and study would add up to 45 days in the year. We spend approximately 30 days in eating and 137 days in sleeping.

At the schoo' cafeteria pupils con-sume enough bread in a year to make a stack the same height as the Empire State Building, 1^48 feet.

I f the soup served at the cafete-ria were put m Campbell soup cans and they were laid end to end they would stretch from prow to stern of the S. S. Majestic, 915 feet.

The cafeteria also serves 540 heads of lettuce annually and sells 6,500 Dixie C^ips. The total custo-mers a year are 22,500.

Will iam Effertz registered a smashing victory i n the race for the presidency of the school organiza-tion last Monday at which time school elections were held i n the a.uditorium. The contest for the vice-presidency which was very close, was won by John Smith, bro-ther of Howard Smith, famed t rom-bonist and former student of the junior high. Theodore Farrelly turned in a decisive victory for the office of Guardian of the Flag, while Wesley Bessell who recived the largest individual vote of any candidate, was made Assistant Guardian of the Flag.

Party Platform Presented As an innovation this year the

candidates formed parties, adopted platforms and had managers. Doris Fenton, Manager of the "Students' Choice" party led her party to a majority of the votes, gathering 936 ballots in all, This party, however elected only one candidate, W. Bes-sell. Robert Clark, Manager of the "Vox Popuh" party successfully backed "B i l l y " Effertz. Ellsworth Erb, who captained a parry w i t h -out a name successfully elected two candidates, John Smith and Theo-dore Farrelly.

Candidates Comment Upon learning of his victory, B i l l

Effertz sUted, " I am glad that the best man won, anyway. I 'm proud that the school has confidence in me and I hope my unsuccessful op-ponents have better luck next time."

John Smith, vice president prom-ised to do his best to fulf i l l the du-ties of his office and said, " I wi l l support the president in any way I am able."

The new Guardian of the Flag, "Teddy" Farrelly gave out the fo l -lowing statement: " I thank the students for voting for me and I ' l l do my best to live up to my cam-paign promises."

After many futile attempts "Bob" Bessell issued the following state-ment, "Wesley Sherwood Bessell has nothmg to sa-y."

PUPILS' REPORTS MERIT HONORABLE MENTION

A survey of the report cards for the first six weeks shows that the following pupils deserve honorable mention for having received the best cards in their grade: Ro Ann Hicks, 7A; Ann Ross, 7B; Walter McQuade, and Eleanor Merri l l , 8A; Eleanor Jenkins and Paul Wood, 8B; Rembert Brimm, Owen Tho-mas and Robert Hawes, 9A; Doris Fenton and Warren Kunz, 9B.

SOCCER TEAMS T I E T W I C E One of the closest fought soccer

games in junior high was played re-cently between Baker's and Mc-Carthy's squads. I t resulted in a tie score, neither side being able to make a point.

The following week the same teams clashed. This time both teams scored one point. A play-off is scheduled for the near future.

T H E Q U E S T I O N Do you orefer t o have school

dances i n t h e g y m n a s i u m or i n the ca fe ter ia a n d why?

B i l l Wilson, a Senior, was the f i r s t to rep ly t o t h i ' question. B i l l s a i d : " I n the gym. I n the f i r s t place, I prefer the g y m because i t is larger and , therefore , a t large dances does n o t seem to be too crowded. T h e n , too, decorations show to a bet ter advantage and the floor there is m u c h better for danc in g w h e n i t is waxed t h a n \<; the ca feter ia floor

Betty sbontz, a J u n i o r , disagrees w i t h B i l l . " I l ike the ca fe ter ia , " B e t t y s tated , "because i t has a f r i e n d l i e r atm.-^sphere. T h e g y m is too b ig a n d doesn't look as nice w h e n i t is decorated. T h e ca feter ia is always w a r m e r a n d l i g h t e r t h a n the g y m , w h i c h always seems to be cold a n d d a r k "

Mr. Seeber, i n rep ly to the ques-t i o n , sa id : " I do n o t l ike t o have the g y m n a s i u m floor waxed d u r i n g bas-k e t b a l l season as, o f course, i t spoils the games. I have no objections, however, i f a f t e r the dances some-one is p a i d to c lean the floor. T h i s costs about *5 a n d classes usual ly do n o t seem to be able t o pay t h i s . "

Dorothy Frost, a Sophomore : " W e l l I t h i n k school dances should be h e l d i n t h e g y m n a s i u m m a i n l y because i t has bet ter acoustics. There is m u c h more r o o m

a n exchange of kicks . O n his own 27 y a r d l ine , A l e x S m i t h f u m b l e d and G r e a t Neck recovered. L a r r i g a n was stopped. A pass to D o n B a n -gert advanced the b a l l t o t h e 18 y a r d l ine . B ienkiewicz smashed t h r o u g h to t h e 9 y a r d l ine for a f i r s t down . T h e n e x t three plays gained n o t h i n g whatever . O n t h e f o u r t h down, B i n k i e w i cz t h r e w a short pass over center to D o n B a n -gert , w h o stepped over the goal to score Great Neck's second t o u c h -d o w n . Owens' ta lented toe aga in made good t h e conversion.

G r e a t Neck kcked off t o P o r t . P iurek , i n for R i c h t e r , advanced 3 yards. One pass was knocked down . T h e other was intercepted by Reed i n m i d f i e l d . T w o penalt ies p u t G r e a t Neck seemed destined t o l ine . Not satisfied w i t h the score. G r e a t Necwk seemed destined t o score again .
