SOPH CAST WHICH WON THE INTERCLASS' PLA Y CONTEST LAST SATURDAY NIGHT

Nepham Concert Well Attended Port High School was very well

represented Saturday afternoon at the annual All-State Band, Orchestra and Choir Festival. This year the festival was held at Mepham School, Bellmore.

Both organizations will have exceptionally fine conductors this year. The band which will consist of some 120 members was under the direction of Mr. Sydney Berg, who is the instruc-tor of instrumental music at Maury High School Norfolk, Va. Mr. Christopher assures the band members that they are in for a terrific workout inasmuch as Mr. Berg is such a hard worker and outstanding bandsman.

The orchestra was conduct-ed by the distinguished Dr. Paul VanBodegraven, who was the head of the Port Washington High School Department and who is now Professor of Music at New York University. Dr. Van Bodegraven is at present a resi-dent of our community and will long be remembered in this neck of the woods for his fine achieve-ments as a musical director and teacher.

The All-State Choir was under the direction of Mr. Ran-dell and although none of our students participated, it ap-peared on the Saturday night concert program. Mr. Randell hails from Stamford, Connecticut and has had great success with his choral music in the past.

The band members were: Marge Eckberg, flute; Sue Wager, horn; Jim Head, drums; Paula Camp-bell, oboe; Sue Tiley, horn, Carol Dunnels, clarinet; El Rugen, clarinet; Joe Greco, cornet.

The orchestra members were: Fred Duell, cello; Barbara Whee-ler, cello; Sandra Madeheim, cel-lo; Nina Stephvenson, cello.

Incidently there were more cellos represented from Port than from any other school.

The rest of the members were: Marie Bianco, Violin; Nancy Ra-mey, Viola; Diane Mauro, Viola; Bob Hunter, Violin; Bill Bow-man, Violin; Bob Petitt, Drums (timpani); Leonore Burton, Vio-lin; Mary Wanser, Bass.

Among the band numbers were: National Victory March,If Thou

Goal Post Letter Received From Manhasset High The foregoing letter was re-

ceived by John Wing from Ma-rilyn Wittschen, Secretary of the Manhasset G. O.:

November 3, 1950 John Wing, President of the General Organ-

ization, Port Washington High School, Port Washington, N. Y. Dear John:

We appreciate your oflfer to pay for the damages done to our school grounds before the foot-ball game on October 7, 1950.

However, we feel that it is not necessary for you to do so.

We hope that the relations be-tween our schools can be kept on a good basis and that such pranks will be eliminated in the future.

Thank you again for writing to us concerning this matter.

Yours sincerely, Marilyn Wittschen,

Secretary of the G. O. We feel that Manhasset is do-

ing the right thing, therefore keeping good relations between Port and Manhasset.

The Sophs Win For The First Time In Seven Years

The myth that the seniors al-ways win the Interclass Play Con-test was shattered last Saturday night when the piosent sopho-mores (Class of 1953) turned the tables and upset the juniors and seniors to win the play contest for the third time, since Port High first started these tradi-tional Intor-class Plays in 1929. The sophomore classes first tri-umph was in 1938, and their se-cond was in 1943.

The winning play that the sophomores presented this year was a light comedy entitled "Make Room for Rodney." The story was about a boy who was eager to get his sister married, so that he could move into her room. Bob Price played the part of the scheming little brother expertly, winning the title of the best actor in the sophomore play. Joann Ford, playing the role of the sister, displayed her unusual acting ability which she has shown at many previous plays. She won the title of the best ac-tress in this play for her per-

Photo by Carl Dahl For the first time in three years,

a sophomore has won the Fratry award for the best performer in the inlorclass play contest. Jay Greene was the lucky soph, and he did a wonderful job as Bill Thomson in the sophomore play.

Jay is now president of the Junior Red Domino which was organized this year for the ben-ofit of the theatrically inclined sophomores. He has had experi-ence in Dramatics, as he was in the Dramatics Club last year and played the part of the detective in the Junior High graduation play. He is also president of the home-room, 106.

Jay is also very interested in track. Last year he was on the freshman trackteam and is now

What Thanksgiving Means With a great deal of argument concerning the exact

date of the great occasion, we eagerly await that d a y — Thanksgiving!

To most of us, we guess. Thanksgiving doesn't mean a great deal more than just " a day of gorging ourselves with turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie" and so on. We don't suppose you accept it particularly gratefully and certainly not with the same sense of profound thanks and good will as that of our forefathers — the Pilgrims! But we feel that perhaps we all might do something unselfish and truly Christian on this so-called "unselfish and Christ ian" day of the year. Why not contribute something to the annual Red Cross drive? Why not give, generously, to the needy and the unfortunate of our own community? Why not? There are a million or more worthwhile deeds for everyone of us to perform. Let's really "go to town" this year and try to aid those less fortunate than ourselves. And then maybe we, too, will have that spirit of tranquility and peace with which we associate the Pilgrims.

With a war in Korea, and danger threatening in our country, we face a grim Thanksgiving day, and yet there is hope; perhaps from the Church, perhaps from the heart and soul of every patriot, but wherever it originates, it will be welcome. I think we should be thankful that we of the United States are, as yet, "neutra l . " Whatever our thoughts may be, I believe that all of us shall enjoy this Thanksgiving.

After the terrific inter-class plays Saturday night, Fuller Comstock had a wonderful party. Some of the couples seen around were:

The host and Joan Davidson, Joann Ford and Vic White , Jack Patton and Margie Peterson, H e r -man Jacobs and Margie Ingley, Ames Ressa and Pat A l l e n , Mary lou Roper and K e i t h B u l -lard , Joop Mossel and John Wing , Bette Thomson and.Ozzie Olstead, Br ian Mul l i gan and Dot Breska, A l La Pera and Nancy McDon -ough, A l Bi lanski and Annabelle Sloane.

Who were all those poor girls in the living room??? There cer-tainly are a lot of sad people in this world today.

Sally Enscoe has been seen lately w i t h a certain boy from Fordham. Having f u n , Sally?

Flash! Patsy Haron and Ed Musselwhite are going steady. Good luck kids.

Say Boys, we know that you are choosy, but w h y don't you ask a few girls out who are stay-ing at home on weekends? I t isn't as bad as a l l that, you know.

This Charles who came over to see Bobbie Millman certainly is cute. What do you think, Bob-bie?

I t seems that Janet K u h l went up to A d m i r a l B i l l a r d Academy to see a certain boy named Bob. We hear that they had a wonder-f u l weekend!!

Mike McGrady seems to be having a wonderful time in Paris much to the unhappiness of Jody.

As far a l e t t e r - w r i t i n g goes Joann Ford and D o r i n Oltarsh have been w r i t i n g to two boys at Duke Univers i ty . Seems their names are Don and Bob. Long letters girls??

Wel l guess that's a l l for now. See you next week.

The reason that a l l the br ight large apples are on top of the box is because there are a lot of l i t t l e ones holding them up there!
