By George Levine Engarde folks! That m a n i s here again. After a delightful week's va- cation I'm back with my nose t o t h e proverbial grindstone ready to grind out the week's news, so, take it away. Current Comments. Current Comments Well, the dance w a s a decided suc- cess. Rick Renson and all those con- cerned certainly can take this as feathers in their caps. (Plural de- notes excellency of affair and due panegyrization thereof.) Although n o t i n actual attendance, yours till Niagara Falls (me), heard enthusiastic accounts from various participants. The dance had every- thing. There were attractive decor- ations with a motif of green, excel- lent refreshments to satiate the most epicurean gourmet, and the finest dance music obtainable through the combined medium of the victrola a n d t h e best dance re- cords in existence. It is not k n o w n w h e t h e r t h e r e w i l l be any more dances in the Junior High this term. This reporter has reason to believe that there m a y b e one more dance this semester. How- ever there is nothing definite about this a s i t h a s n o t been discussed in the Council yet. For a list o f t h e couples who at- tended, see last week's paper. One party took place on Friday the eighteenth a t t h e Renson dom- icile. Among those who showed up were: Barbara Kerby, Muriel Van- derbilt, Hazel Kirk, Barbara Riggs, Charlotte Griffes, Adelaide Crawley, and the Messrs.: Brimm, H. Hin- richs, N. Hinrichs, Raymond, Col- lings and "Of course the genial host. Rick Renson. Rumor h a s i t that Charlotte Grif- fes will give a party early in April. At the moment we "don't know from notting," but expect to have a l l t h e dope by next week. Homeroom Happenings TO ALL REPORTERS: The home- room representatives of the Port Junior are falling down on their jobs. Only two handed in any home- room news last week. H o w d o you expect to get the news of interest to all the school if each homeroom reporter doesn't do his job? Bring it in today, after school, to Room 304. Homeroom 211 mourns the absence of Bruce Rumstetter. H e h a s been in the hospital for several weeks. In the last homeroom meeting of 211, Everett Wilson, chairman o f t h e housekeeping committee was heard to remark that the boys on the housekeeping squad did better work than the girls. Maybe the man's place i s i n t h e home! Homeroom 304 challenges any other room to equal its banking rec- ord of improvement every week since January 25. Week's Wit A dramatic critic gives the best jeers of his life to the theatre. Well fans (or would the singular be a little more accurate?) that is all for the present so if you desire t o r e a d more of my journalistic ef- fort you will have to take in next week's column. (I hate to brag but I ain't subtle.) Goodby and good luck a n d a l l t h e trimmings till next week when I will welcome you with a jolly " h o w d o y o u d o , " m a d Rus- sian style. Charm Club Officers Newly elected officers of the Charm Club are: President, Irene Hope; vice-president, Beverly Am- thor; secretary, Eleanor Tomlet; treasurer, Yvonne Holmes; mem- bership committee chairman, Ruth Seamen; suggestion committee chairman, Virginia Hansen; a n d a d - vertising committee chairman, Mary Dunn. , i Strong Navy Squad Defeats Manhattan O n T u e s d a y M a r c h 15 in a special playoff game Smith Gloucester's Navy team defeated Tony Natale's Manhattan team b y t h e score of 19 to 13. Two weeks before Manhattan defeated Navy 11 to 9. Natale opened the scoring and then Smith evened the score. Natale made a foul and a shot to make it 5 t o 2 as the whistle blew for the quarter. Karl Knutsen opened the scoring in the second quarter and Smith followed up with 4 points and Knut- sen sank a foul for Navy. Larry Wright scored for Manhattan to make i t 9 t o 7 i n Navy's favor when the teams took time out for the half. Four minutes later the teams took the floor and started the bat- tle again. Smith started the scoring again and Mike Contino put Man- hattan back i n t h e game when he made a basket. Knutsen gave Navy a larger lead by scoring and then Harry Hooper entered the game by scoring for Manhattan. Smith gave Navy a 4 point lead again. Bob Walter then scored for Navy. Hoop- er scored for Manhattan and Mike Caparella finished up the day's scoring and game by shooting a long shot. LINE-UP Navy Position Manhattan S. Gloucester R F H. Hooper M. Caparella L F M.

Dear Diary By Janeth Stewart Saturday, April 30, 1938 Dear Diary, Today I went into the yard to plant some Pansy seeds with m y n e w garden tools. I planted them in a nice straight row. The colors I had were yellow, purple and' red. At least thats what it said o n t h e pack- age. Now if they'll only come up before next winter. Sunday, May, 1938 Dear Diary, I spent nearly a l l d a y o u t i n the garden watching my little plot of ground. I w a s looking for the first sign of little sprouts. But I was greatly disappointed. All I saw was the ground just a s I h a d seen it yesterday after I had finished planting the seeds. Monday, May 2, 1938 Dear Diary, I'm getting sore. Today I d u g u p my seeds. I w a s s o discouraged with them that I just couldn't be patient any longer. Tuesday, May 3, 1938 Dear Diary, I felt so sorry for my seeds that I planted them again and squirted the hose on them for half an hour. Now I spend my time hoping and praying that my seeds will apprec- iate my replantment by showing some signs of life. Wednesday, May 4, 1938 Dear Diary, Today I spent nearly all morning watching my garden again. In the afternoon it only took ten minutes to dig my seeds up again. This time I threw t h e m a w a y with no regrets. Overdue Overnight Book Library Misdemeanor An overdue overnight book i s o n e of the most dangerous crimes known to the Junior High School Library. This crime had been so frequently repeated i n t h e p a s t t h a t there has been a great deal of trouble caused. When y o u s e e a red star in the back of the book you will know that that book is a n overnight one. Also there will be a slip attached t o t h e card a n d i t will say: This book can- not be taken from the library until 3:04 and must be returned by 8:56 the following morning. The reason for this is that most of the books are used by other peo- ple during the day are too val- uable for reference to be lent t o o n e person for one whole week. Please try to cooperate with Miss Godfree in getting your books i n o n time. Anthony Picardi, of 211, Shows Honesty Anthony Picardi, a student in Homeroom 211, last week demon- strated the fact that honesty is the best policy and that character training is being carried o n i n t h e J u n i o r H i g h School. Anthony found a wallet con- taining $111.00 o n t h e Port Wash- ington Station platform. He turn- ed the wallet a n d t h e money over to the police who found that it belonged to a woman in Great Neck. As a reward for his action, Anthony was given $20.00, half of which he gave to his mother and half of which he intends to de- posit i n t h e school bank. Spending An Hour With Radio Heroes By Ruth SchoU First I would like to introduce Susie Pumpernickle who will tell you this story i n h e r o w n w a y . Su- sie c a n b e found in almost any class. Here she is readers, Susie Pumper- nickel. The first heart stopping thriller I listen to is Dick Tracy who enters our homes via radio at five o'clock sharp. But before I tune i n o n Dick I always e a t a heaping dish of Cris- co—no I mean Wheaties the food of Champions or Puffed Wheat, oh what's the difference as long as it's a heaping bowl of something good? As you know all nice little boys and girls eat their puffed wheat each day. If you don't, have your mother biiy a b o x a t t h e nearest hardware or grocery store. Now here's Dick's message t o a l l y o u u p and coming young sleuths: Buffalo 21, 4, 16, 8, 5, 9, 3, 2. After deciphering this important mes .-jaD-p T look at ijiy ra- dio program. I immediately switch to station FOO on which I hear that Chinese version of Dick Tracy, Charlie Chan. Incidentally Charlie is none other than o u r o w n M r . W o o P o o w h o gets so much fun out of ruining pop's best and 200 favorite shirts. While hearing this master mind I became determined t o b u y a pair of chop- sticks and a bowl of rice and try to solve the mystery of Algebra. However before I c a n d o s o I hear that All American boy Jack Arm- strong. (Here's a hint to lazy peo- ple like myself) I tune i n o n Jack to save myself the trouble of cut- ting my fingernails. I average about three nails a minute when Jack is on the air. Tune i n a n d save your nail scissors. At this time I am usually called away to set the dinner table. "Gee Whiz." I usually groan, "I'll bet Dick Tracy doesn't have t o s e t the table." As I finish I hear the blood chilling scream of — Oh no, it's just Junior G Men signing off and I guess I better too. Essay On Homework Proves Enlightening By Mary Louise Teta No doubt you all love homework, s o w i t h o u t further a d o I will show you h o w I a n d many others attack our homework. First I take out my books and look at them very lazily and begin to sing, " O h I wish I h a d someone to love m e . " I take o u t m y math book and then I feel like going to sleep. That Miss Saurcraut has some nerve giving us all these problems, (quiet for one minute) Shux! I can't work without some jazz. (Puts on radio) One half divided by five is hi de hi dee hi—boy that Benny Ray has some hot band. Let's see where w a s I , o h five times four is —(telephone rings) "Hello, oh! Sam- my, h o w a r e you? You don't say. By the way whom were you with in the movies the other night?" This goes on for two hours. Begin work again. Mother calls, "Darling, you must come to bed. I think those schools give entirely too much homework. I'm going to complain t o t h e princi- pal." Dance Held In Gym On St. Patrick's Day; Couples Danced To The Radio - Victrola Big Apple Attempted By More Athletic Students While Less Ambitious People Looked On The much discussed dance was at last held in the Gym on the seventeenth, St. Patrick's Day. The Gym was ap- propriately decorated with green and white bunting (paper to you) and green shamrocks. These shamrocks attracted much comment. They were along the walls of the Gym and helped to brighten the place up quite a bit. As the girls and boys were requested to wear green if it were possible most of the boys had green shirts or ties on, and the girls wore green dresses. The space under the balcony was fixed as usual for the faculty members. Bal- loons were not to be seen as the council decided that they caused too much disturbance last year. 9A Team On Top In Interclass Games The last (but not least) of the girls interclass basketball games was played last Friday. Three of the teams played: t h e 8 3 1 , 9 A a n d 93. The first game was played be- tween t h e 9 A a n d t h e 9 3 . This game brought victory for the 9 A a n d a score of 17 to 4. T h e 9 A a n d 831 played off their game ending with the 9A still the victors by one point. The 8 3 1 h a d 8 points a n d 9 A h a d 9 points. M. L. Teta a n d 3 . F o x scor- ed the most baskets for their teams. Ending these interclass games we find that the 9A team i s o n t o p a n d each of the girls will receive twenty- five points. The next in line i s t h e 831 each earning 15 points and as runner-ups we see the 93, these girls getting 10 points. Sports Council Last week a girls Sport CouncU meeting was held and Myrtle Web- ster the chairman took charge. A bicycle hike is to be sponsored for and by the members of the Sport Council and will be held Monday, March 28, 1938. All members who wish to go along please sign up in Miss Pett's office. What the Sports Council is for, was then explained by M. L. Teta to a l l w h o d i d not know. An announcement concerned the individual points which are to be in no later than the end of April. The girls w h o h a d n o t taken the oath then received it and the meeting ^as adjourned. Newspaper Recipe For Port Junior By Ruth Scholl T)he first ingredient is a hard working staff with original ideas. Then you add a few editors, stir- ring slowly all the time. Cream this well a n d a d d a n adviser (Mr. Allen for example). Pour these into a bowl and you will have guaranteed re- sults. N o w t h a t we have t h e r a w mater- ials a d d a large lump of butter, in- side of this is a printer who' for some unknown reafeon is necessary to the paper. With the printer there usuaUy comes a booklet on how to set up the paper. There is however a substitute for this lit- tle leaflet. It is our own system for setting up papers. This of course is entirely different than the prin- ter's ideas and should be used when nothing else is available. Last but not least a r e t h e readers who give the circulation department something t o d o . If you beat these well with an egg beater you wUl be surprised and pleased a t t h e results. Unconquerable Three Still Lead Banking The invincible three are still i n t h e lead in banking, each having 100%. Mr. Hulbert, Miss Kinne, and Mr. Ryeck apparently have model thrift rooms. Perhaps the groups are largely made up of Scotch people. Second place went to room 307 with 93.9% and third place went to a newcomer, room 214. There were about eighty tickets sold before the dance. A t t h e door t h e n u m b e r s o l d was said to be near or over ten, so altogether there were about one hundred and eighty peo- ple there. The extra money is to be saved and used for a final dance at t h e e n d o f t h e term. Then the remaining money from all the dan- ces following is to be used for this big dance. At the dance an orches- tra will be hired and it will prob- ably be one of the biggest dances that Junior High has ever given. The teachers who decided to show up the pupils at tripping the light fantastic were as follows: Miss Avery, Miss Kinne, Mr. Brennan, Mr. Markel, a n d M r . Johnson. They seemed to be having a good time, but even if they weren't the pupils enjoyed watching them. The music was "swell" as someone enthusiastically put it and "Swell" seems t o b e t h e best and only ex- pression to suit it. The records were the latest song hits and perfect for dancing. Once again the radio-vic- trola proved satisfactory. Certainly if it could be heard over the noise in t h e G y m , i t i s better than a n y o r - chestra w e c a n obtain a t t h e present time. Of course the Big Apple was danc- ed and those who could "Truck On Down" did so, and those who could not, made a rather successful at- tempt. It was done by the whole group at first and then by smaller groups who really knew h o w t o do it. Also the Paul Jones was done and the group did it two times after that before they were satis- fied. Those who did not indulge in these strenuous capers were well sat- isfied at the variety of pieces and dances which were played. At Mr. Johnson's request Anna Bertha Winfield and Sherwood Eato with six other students gave an ex- hibition that showed u p t h e best of dancers. Other entertainment Was furnished by Jeanne Rosenberg who sang "Thanks For the Memories," while Jean Driesi sang "Mamma I Wanna Make Rhythm." Refreshments were served at five forty-five. They were served in the balcony as they were last year. After the refreshments the group danced to a few more pieces and then at seven o'clock very reluctantly left for home. Look For Articles In Lost And Found This week we bring y o u a list of articles which were found I n t h e lost a n d f o u n d department. Los:t: A brown fountain p e n . I n school. If found please return to room 212 or 221. Reward. A pair of orange earmuffs. Return to Donald Collings. Reward. A red pencil case containing a pen and pencil combined, two school pencils and a pencil sharp- ener all lost near the bike room. If found please return to Marilyn Baum. Reward. Pound: A blue pocket book I n t h e assembly. Two odd mittens and one glove which were brought to Mr. Karon's room. A navy blue knitted hat found In the girl's basement.

Dance Held In Gym On St. Patrick's Day; Couples Danced To The Radio - Victrola

Big Apple Attempted By More Athletic Students While Less Ambitious People Looked On

The much discussed dance was at last held in the Gym on the seventeenth, St. Patrick's Day. The Gym was ap­propriately decorated with green and white bunting (paper to you) and green shamrocks. These shamrocks attracted much comment. They were along the walls of the Gym and helped to brighten the place up quite a bit. As the girls and boys were requested to wear green if it were possible most of the boys had green shirts or ties on, and the girls wore green dresses. The space under the balcony was fixed as usual for the faculty members. Bal­loons were not to be seen as the council decided that they caused too much disturbance last year.
