link's charming and mystical play, •The Blue Bird" , as the Red Domino's spring offering, wi l l be presented 'in the High School Audi -torium on Friday evening, March 13.

N E W W O R L D S

TODAY marks the last day of the fa l l term. After Regents Week,

aathough our ranks wi l l be swell-ed by the incomirig Sophomore Caass, mainy seniors and some members of last June's class who returned for a post-graduate course wi l l leave school i n search of gain-f u l employment or in order to en-ter another school.

Although, the outlook may seem gloomy at first glanoe, stUl there are jobs to be had. However, stu-dents must realize that i t is not easy to secure a well-paying por-t ion where the work is interesting and the hours short, immediately upon leaving High School, even college. Tne novice must start at the bottom where he wil l ob-tain the practical experience neces-sary for later life. Of course, there are always a few "lucky' enc'Ugh to have influence by means of which a job is procurred. But, as LJ often the case, those who gain positions through Uttle or no ef-fort on their own part frequent-ly fai l to api-reciate them and hence do not expend their best ef-forts to keep them.

And just a word to tihs gradu-ates who are planning to enter a university or a school of the arts. Profit by what your secondary education has taught you. I n col-lege you wUl doubtless spend more itime directly prep>aring for what is to be your life work and less on those subjects which i n High seemed rather useless. Perhaps also, you wil l observe that the i n -terest taken in taie students by the Insti-uctors is often an impersonal one, due to the size of the en-rollment. The "sink-or-swim" the-ory is strongly h i evidence in most college;, and i t is here that the High School pupU, who is ac-customed to depending on some-one else when he should be inde-pendent, loses out.

We trust that i t won't be too long before the "big chance" comes along; that the enthusiasm of those setting out on a new career won't become dampened by rebuffs en-countered along the way; and that the graduates entering college or advanced schools wi l l bring credit to the Port Washington High School, both through their academic and social achievements.

We extend to these cla&smatss of ours sincere wishes for their future success, whether i t be in the field of business or higher edu-cation, and we hope they won't object to this conglomeratton of do's and don'ts, gathered from those who liave been through the K>pes.

The Port Weekly expresses the sympathy of the entire student body and faculty to Claire WUlets, on the recent loss of her motJier.

A Port Profile

Schools Influence Life Of Busy Musician

Wihen I got through gleaning facts from Jfcan Lowry, I decided I 'd found the perfect Interviewee, so to speak. Jean was bom on Reid Avenue i n this town with a violin i n one hand and two •older sisters to hve up to. She claims she brought about the Armistice, being born in 1918, and further states thai , as her family moved to Madison Avenue, near the school, early in her career, she has lived under the influence of the educattonal system ever -Jice. I contest that the Circle and Honor Roll are some indication j f abiUty.

Donbles in Strings I n addition to the above men-

.ioned activities, Jean was also treasurer of the Celerity, "plays .he fiddle" in the orchestra, "tackles v-ola" in the string quartet, writes the music newi for The Port Light and The Port Weekly, as well as having been feature editor of the latter up unt i l the present .ime. To quote her again, she has also "messed around" In a t h -letics, namely—tennis, soccer, i n -ter-class hookey and inter-class basketball. She likes music best of all, and is an ardent enthusiast of the new music appreciation course, (adv.)

Cares For Infants As for pet aversions, she claims

only one rabid one—having the shoe lace break while tytng her shoe practically amounte to a phobia. To be consistent, pet diversions include poetry, sailing at midnight, swimming, canoeing, hiking, and modehng clothes. For the last two summers she's been a counselor at camps and last year she took care of infants from three to eight.

No profile would be oamplete without mention of the person's l.iture plans, for Jean intends to

I take Up nursing, preferably i n a combination nursing and college course.

Rank and Vile

I t seems that last week's change of title threw a lot of people off •uhe track. Apparently the gossip column, feeble as i t may be, is uhe only thinig that some subscrib-ers read on the inside page and Jie different name made them think that there was no column. So I guess wel l have to etiok to uhe same name or else give due iiot.oe of any change.

Contributions haven't exactly been pouring i n thick and fast but we found a few. A l l oommunica-„ions are strictly confidential. Here are a few of them:

" I t is rumored that that wel l -known orchestra leader, Eddie Gunther, and Alice Pray are that way about each other. Tsk, Tsk, and Eddie was such a nice boy, too."

Someone who signs himself "An Anxious A r t Student," wants to know why Willie Wilson is spending so much t/ime i n the Art room recently.

Another anonymous contributor reports seeing Eleanor Talbot and "about half a dozen" fellows i n •ths Manhasset beanery last Sat-urday night.

Eddie Bangs and Alvor Pran-kel seem to be h i t t ing the high spots. At least they were seen in P>ete's last Friday night. They're also dating for the ap-proaching Sophomore dance.

"Seen last Friday night, V i r -ginia Utz out walking the dog in her pajamas (not the dog's). There were also a few other peo-ple around."

It 's being rumored that the Jean Smith-Paxton get-together isn't going as smoothly as i t should.

Teddie Gregory seems to be go-ing philanthropic. He now drags Arthur Woelfl wi th h im when he goes to Barbara Dexter's. A t least, he did last Thursday night.

Stixl another: "Oarod Yetter is corre&ponding wi th a former columnist now at Syracuse." Signed by "A Junior" but the writing looks familiar. After a great deal of laborious research in our volumnious files we de-cided that the mysterious ool-umndst muiSt be Albert Trussell. We also want to know, so what?

It 's a bit early to say much about 'the outcome of the M i n -strel Show but one thing is prac-tically certain, i t was well worth the price of admission.

The basketball game last F r i -day night was successful i n some ways for some people. Ray Mazur and Zech Rinehart breezed in to-gE'ther to the surprise of many observers, closely followed by George H . Bangs, Jr., escorting Mary Brennan. Another surprise was Betty Shontz and "Gonk" Kings-ley. Pete O'Brien, recent alumnus, howed up with one of the orna-

ments of the Junior High, Zoe Andel. A few of the steadies a t -tended, including Jane Cole and Ted Minich, and Ruth Guilford Jimmie Rinehart, and James' mas-sive 8-ceII flashlight.

On Friday, January 10, the J u n -ior High band accompanied by Howard Smith, as soloist, perform-ed at Malveme, L. I . , displaying its progress in musical activities.

Looking For A I Book To Read? High School Library Has

Many Volumes Y o u Wil l Want

By JEANNE P E L T O N

Are you looking for a book to read and enjoy? The library has just the one you are seeking. I f you liked "Mutiny Or, The Boun-ty" and "Men Against The Sea," you wil l want to continue the ad-ventures of Fletcher Christian and his followers In "Pitf.iaim Island," which is the last of this series written by (Charles Nordoff and James N. HaU.

An exciting novel of a 12-year-old boy who lived i n 1859, entitled "Swords of Steel," by Elsie Sing-master, is filled with adventures of this youthful si>ectator who later enlisted i n the Union Army dur-ing the Oivil War.

You cannot afford to miss Anne Morrow Lindbergh's delightful travel book, "North to the Orient." Because of the simplicity of sub-ject matter and the universal i n -terest i n material included, Mrs. Lindbergh's book has proved one of the most popular of our day.

E. Thornton Cook has written a charming novel called " T h e y Idved," which affords a fascinating introduction to the lives of the three Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, and of their tragic brother, Branwell. Char-lotte, as you probably remember, is the author of "Jane Eyre," while her sisters are well remembered for their poetry.

One New Year's resolution which you should not break is: Read more books, both for pleasure and informa'tion. T'isit the library— we wUl be glad to aid you in selecting your next book.

Inquiring Reporter

T H E QUESTION Wliat is your favorite subject

and why?

* • Benjamin Kirkup, a Junior, re-

plied: " I like Physics the best because a knowledge of the sub-ject supplies the answers to many everyday problems. I f you notice what goes on around you, you wiU see that Physics plays a very i m -portant part i n our lives."

Jane Clark, a Senior, said: " I like English becaaise I enjoy read-ing poetry. I think i t is the most important subject because without a knowledge of the English lang-uage you can't get very far.

Mary Kellogg, a Sophomore, re-sponded: " I th ink English is my favorite subject because as a rule i t is candiicted i n a less fonnai manner. I consider i t the most interesting subject because of the variety of things studied."

Mary Lerhiman, a Junior, ans-wered: "Algebra is my favorite subject because i t is very easy for me. I like to work out protolems, and all forms of mathematics are interesting to me."

Eugene Oglethorpe, a Senior, re -pJied: " I like Journalism because I think newspaper work is very interesting and since I have had Journalism I have learned a lot about the newspaper industry T never knew before. I t is different from most subjects."

9B Class Files Last Will And Testament

Traits, Talents, Tr icks , And Text Books Bestowed On Classmates And Teachers

Snoop Gets Scoop!

My, my, I didn't have to snoop this weelc. A delightful bit of toformation came my way. I went to aie zoo ajid met a charming l i t t le bind which has teen brought back from the wilds of Hobokein -by Ellsworth Erb (of the ejcplor-ing Ellsworths). The fowl has powers of magic! He foresees many things to come and not only that, he tells al l he knows (and then some)! I got h i m stttrbed on thie 9Bs and their future and my, what he said! I ' l l repeat some of tiheim.

Effertz Runs Museum

This strange bird is housed by the "CJoo-Coo" Oage Museum and he said he'd much rather be caught later on in life when Billy Effertz gets to running his mus-eums. He said that he just knows that Fraoak Jost wi l l become a suiccessful farmer and that Rich-ard Ooucher is destined to n m a General Store. He could just see dharlotte Hewitt in a h i t play of the season wi th her name in lights over Main Street.

Famsworth Manages Hotel My friend (th'is bird) sees B i l l

Parnswcirth managing a country hotel for old maiden laxiies (he's so dharming). Edith Thompson (against her better judgment) is destined to be a school teacher and Prank Shelton wi l l be the principai of the institution of learning. S t rue !

Anderson Sells Hats He could feel i t in his bones

(funmy bones) that Margot And-erson would run an exclusive chapeau shop and David Wysong would be ithe leading l ight of Wy-song's Dancing School w i th Pat Evaais as his iassistamt. Stanley Kei^by is bound to be a profes-sional football player, and Irving Markland wi l l be a tennis champ. CJhaxles Thomas wiU warble over ithe radio and Oolbum Davis just can't help being a professor at a school for absent-minded pno-feesoiTs.

Liebauer With Fans The dear fea-thered creatuire

blushed as he told me that Anna Liebauer wi l l be a- f an dancer and Warren Kunz wiU have a ner-vous breakdown from over-taxing his brains. Tsih, tsh. He said that Edward K r a f t w i l l majiage a cheese factory and that Janet Wanser wi l l become Mrs. Bruce Oox. (My word)!

The Bird Has Flown At this podnt the gong rang for

feeding t4me and the bird seemed a Ufctle bored wi th i t a l l . I was a trifle lame i n my ears myself, so I gave up. I haven't told you all he told me. I wouldn't dare! It 's just too, too exdoisive!

A copy of the last wi l l and testa-; ment of the 9B Class has revealed many interesting and unique be-quealhaJs. We quote the document as i t was wri t ten :

We, the members of the 9E Class, having successfully wriggled through the first two chapters C i f our educational life, namely Grade School and Junior High School, and being duly prepared to tackle the third chapter, namely High School, do hereby bequeath our traits, talents, tricks and text books to the following as stipulated i n the statement below:

Bob Clark's h i t wi-th the "dames" we leave to Harry Helfrich. Misty Campbell's stature goes to Bever-ly Lawrence, Sally Petersen's dis-tinctive feminine voice is left to Dob Bessel, and Johnny Smith gets Alan Gould's expressive eyes.

Piazza May Fiddle David Kravitz leaves his ability

to draw music from a fiddle to John Piazza; Nancy Gimither gives her modest manner to Zoe Andel; Emanuel Scrofani's small, delicate hand-writing goes to Henry Frost, and Freda TurrUl's lure for Lewis Ligeri goes to Patty TurriU.

Wfe now solemnly bequeath Jack Van Name's dimple to Mr. H u l -bert, Louise Teta's primness tc Mildred Lang, Violette Levy's d l i -gence in Lat in to Penny Williams,

and Evelyn Marro's athletic ability to Mary Muro.

After due consideration, we leave Carol Lewthaite's wit to Bud Mc-Quade and B i l l Griffes; we want Bert Schauer to have all the ex-girl friends of Bruce Oox; B i l l 9ipzer's air of self-confidence goes bo George Levine, and we'd like Margaret Bay to have Virginia Brant's collection of boy friends.

Farrelly Eats! And now, we leave Beatrice Far-

reUy's lunch to Teddy Farrelly, Jessie Eaito's best wishes to How-ard Stephenson, Mary Redfield's cosmetics to Natalie Porter, Peg-gy Varley's temper to Betsy Frank-l in , and Florence Pettus' giggle to Andy Sprague.

A l l copies of "The Last of the Mohicans" are left to chapitafole organizations who may dispose of them as they see f i t , our seventh period dass goes to Miss Palmer, and 10 cents goes to Miss Armer for several dozen test tubes which may have been broken by us.

May our successors be worthy of and accede to the high honors and privileges we have so freely bestowed upon them, and may they never sing as we- depart, "We'll be glad when you've gone, you nasty 9Bs."

Signed and sealed and stamped (with our feet).

P o r t G i r l s Are Victors

Beat Manhasset Squad By Score Of 22-20

On Thursday, January 9, the Port girls' team emerged the vic-tor from Manha.;set on the latter's homie court. I n a hand fought contest, the Port girls were able to win their third contest to the tune of 22-20.

I n the absence of the captain, Anna Mae Seaman, Gloria Alex-ander, last year's center guard, started at center forward and was easily the star of Port's &ix. M a n-hasset tallied the first two points immediately and continued the lead throughout the game. Several times i n the first quairtex the score was dose, but the Port team was never able to even i t up.

Second Period Better I n the second quarter, better

playing was evidenced on both sides but Port was st i l l the "under dog." At the end of the haif the Port six, with Anna Mae Sea-man and Arline Grtese replacing Eloise Jenkins and Sophie Slaska, retired, trailing by five points.

Wi th the original line-up, the Port aggregation was able to ring up four p j ints which brought the count to 16-15 for Manhasset. The home team was held to one bas-ket during the quarter and started fouling; two center farwaids and one guard were wifchdrawnL The th i rd stan2a. ended i n a 19-19 tie due to some fast and over furious playing on the part of both teams.

Port Gains Lead Three field goals and a foul

in the last period gave Port the much needed lead. However, one of Port's players committed a per-sonal foul giving Iklanhasset two shots, one of which was made, bringing the final count to 22-20 for Port.

Through national comipeti-tion the local band was chosen by the committee in charge, being suggested at a meeting held re-cently to choose bands to play.

The Tuesday before the Christ-mas vacation commenced a repre-sentative from the National Music Educational Board visited the scJiool and informed Mr. Van Bodegra^'en of the honor which had been given the band. The band is to open the Band Section Meeting with a haU-hour con-cert. I t wi l l play the required number for the state contest and several others not yet chosen by Mr . Van Bodegraven.

By GEORGE BANGS Prior to last Friday's game wi th Great Neck, tlie Blue and White

squad elected its captain for the present basketball season. When the Varjity came on the floor for the warming up, Stanley Smith was the leader and newly elected captain. Stan is one of the most popular boys on the squad and is the second Junior to have the honor of captain in as many years. Last year Joe Augustino was a Junior while he was captain of the basketball team. We al l hope t l iat Port wil l have as guod i f not better record than last year wi th Stan Smith as captain.

Pont lost its first league game to Great Neck last Friday night i n the spacious Great Neck gyranasium. Only once did Port lead i n this game. Port scored the first point and then lost the lead soon after-wards and never saw i t again. The final score rested at 34 for Great Neck and 19 for Port. The game was a very rough encounter with two Great Neck men put out of the game on personal fouls. Both teams Iculed quite frequently but Great Neck had the edge JD. the number of fouls. I think that i f Port had been able to make more of its foul shots i t could have won the game. That's the only way N. Y. U. defeated Columbia last SaJturday night.

* * * * * Soon after the second half had started Irving Petersen received

a pretty bad sock on the head. There seems to have been some sort of a collision at one end of the floor, and i f there hadn't been a door there, i t might have been worse. Stan Smith went through the door and escaped injury, but Irving was not quite so fortunate. "Pete" stopped himself by hi t t ing his head on the door sash. Of course, this left h im a bit groggy so the Coach put Eddie Dumpson i n the game. Irving sti l l felt "rotten" the next morning but i t soon wore ofiF.

While Port was losing to Great Neck, Mineola was losing to Glen Cove. Mineola was supposed to be Uie team to look out for and Glen Cove was not coiLsidered a serious contender f r the title. But i t now looks as i f Glen Cove wil l be a bad omen to the other teams m the circuit. Last week I picket Port to defeat Great Ncck, and this week I pick Port to defeat Mineda.

* * * * * To break away from basketball for awhile, I can sti l l write about

football (in the middle of January). Last week. High School football of-ficials from 14 slates met in Cliicago to hash out the subject of school-boy injuries and remedies for t:uch. After a few days of talking, fight-ing, and talking some more, they reached a definite decision on the sub-ject of unnecessary roughness. I t was decided that penalties for u n -necessary roughness shall be enforced to a greater extent than they are at present. The penalty wi l l be 15 yards and may be inflicted whenever the officials of the game see fit. I t was also suggested that a five yard safety zone be installed along the side-lines, and that teams should have wamung up exercises three minutes between halves. This conference did not include any Eastern states, but i t may in time. At least i t would be a good idea i f some of the Coastal States would adopt these new laws of the gridiron.

Port High Girls Play Glen Cove

Alumni Pledge To Sigma Alpha Epsilon

John Decker and Raymond Pat-ten have ben pledged to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the U n i -versity of New Hampshire Both of tliese boys were graduated from Port last year and are attending the Universiy of Durham, Neiw Hampshire. Ray Patten starred in freshmen football this fall and is also playing on the freshmen hockey team. John Decker was a baseball player while in High School and wil l probably be on the college J . V. nine this spring.

As we go to press the girls' bas-ketball team meets its second opponent of the current season on January 16. The challenger was in the form of the Glen Cove team.

I n view of the recent victory over Manhasset, the girls should have some confidence as to their play-ing ability; they should also real-ize and profit by their mistakes. No definite changes were deter-mined by last week's game at M a n-hasset. Anna Mae Seaman was elected captain of the team prev-ious to the Manhasset game.

Alexander Forward Gloria Alexander is surely a

startling forward, due to her ex-cellent play at that position last week. The remaining two forwards wil l probably be Elcise Jenkins and Sophie Slaska. I n al l probability the three starting guards wil l be Dorothy Davenport, Stephanie Slas-ka, and Florence Kurejwo.

The Glen Cove game wil l prob-ably be the hardest test the girls wil l have to fa/ce. Glen Cove has lost one player by graduation from last year's squad while Port has had to replace four veterans from last year's team. This doesn't make the outoome look very bright but the Port girls are resolved not to give up unt i l the last

whistle.

Port Swamped By Great Neck

Blue And White Loses First Conference

Game, 24-19

A sharp shooting Great Neck five dealt Port a severe setback in its championship hopes by the score of 24-19. Poor passing and shooting was the cause of the Blue and Wihite's firat downfall of the season.

A field goal by Joe Augustino put Port into an early lead, but the Blue and Orange were n<«t to be denied and soon grabbed the lead holding i t throughout the game. Bri l l iant shooting on the part of Luniewski and Bienkie-wicz accounted for most of the Great Neck scores. The half ended w i t h our boys on the short end of a 14 to 10 count.

Second Half Similar The second half was almost a

repetition of the first. Frequent mishandling of passes and poor shooting on the part of the Cos-teUo men enabled the Great Neck-ers to hold their lead consistent-ly. I n the third Bienikiewicz and Andromides were put out on fouls. Itois did not stop the Blue and Orange from continuing to score. The closing minutes of the last period saw Joe Augustino leaving lie game on fouls and the sub-

stitution of Ed Dumpson fOr "Pete" Petersen who was put out of the game by bumping his head on one of the side doors. The final whisUe blew leaving Port on the _hort end of 24 to 19.

Seconds Win Port's second team showed up

a little better than their older brothers by defeatjig the Great Neck team 20 to 12. Phn Norton and Herb Carpenter starred wi th two and three goals respectively.

One of the best games of the schedule is on the program tonight when Mineola, last year's cham-pions of the North Shore, w i l l visit the Blue and White Gym. The outcome of the contest wil l be very important to both teams and wUl probably see both teams playing good basketball.
