Miss Jil l Edwards, Popularity Expert,

To Give Talk Here Author, N B C Performer,

T o Speak February 2 O n Personality

O n Wednesday, Pebruarj ' 2. 1938. at 2:15. J i l l Edwards , "exponent of personality," wil l address the high school auditorium on "Personality Pointers, "

Miss Edwards was born in C h i n a , the daughter of a medical mission-ary. She has made three trips around the world which give her a more than average perspective of the world and tta people. She graduated from Oberlin College and pursued studies in speech at Northwestern University. F o r many months she was the " J i l l " of " J l U and J u d y , " a N B C Radio feature; she has been educational director of radio s t a -tion W A A P , at the P a l m e r House, Chicago: and she is now heard weekly over a nation-wide hoofc-up.

Such a unique background is r e a -son enough for her success i n the study of the science of popularity. People everywhere today are c o n -centrating their thoughts on that indefinite, intangible, elusive thing called personality that spells the dif-ference between success and medio-crity. J i l l Edwards has the secret and is ager to share it with others. I n her book, "Personality Pointers , " published by the Bobbs-MerrlU C o m -pany, she gives it to the world. W e d -nesday, February second, she will 8i "e it to you.

Many people have wondered liow such a subject c a n be definite, con-crete, and entertaining. T h e answer may be found I n J i l l Edwards , ex-ample and promoter of the "'Joyous L i f e , "

Clio Presents Movie On Rise of Culture

Club Realizes Profit O n Production

O n Tuesday afternoon, J a n u a r y 18, three hundred and sixty students witnessed " T h e H u m a n Adventure," historical movie depicting man's rise from savagery to civilization. T h e picture followed man's progress from the cave m a n stage and continued to the height of the artistic beauty of the civilizations of the ancient Persians. T h e engineering perfection and architectural significance of the Egyptian pyranUds and obelisks were explained in detail. T h e picture con-tinued from Egypt onward into Mes-opotamia, Persia , Jerusalem, a n d Asia Minor.

T h i s sound motion picture was prepared by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago under the scientific supervision of D r . James Breasted. T h e picture was explained and commented upon throughout by Char les Breasted. A two reel comedy was scheduled to be presented in the same program. Due to a n unavoidable error on the part of the issuing company, the animated cartoon did not arrive on time; and, for this reason, the Clio C l u b has promised to give a comedy after Regents at no cost. T h e club realized a profit on the production.

Guidance Director Honored

Information has been received by T h e Port Weefcly to the effect that Miss E s t h e r Farl inger , Director of Guidance in the Port Washington Public School System, has been a p -pointed member of the planning committee for the National Associ-ation of Deans ot Women Confer-ence which is being held i n con-nection with the National E d u c a -tional Convention i n New York City. Last ing from June 26 to J u n e 30, the convention wUl attract many of the United States' most noted edu-cators.

Several commltiees have volun-teered to help make the arrange-ments for the tea. T h e refreshment committee is headed by B e r n a Deane Purgett, and includes Florence Wright, R u t h B l a n c hard and S h i r -ley Warren. T h e committee i n charge of decorations consists of its chairman, Betty Lindemuth, J u n e Allington, Alice Palmer, and M a r t h a Muniial l . T h e reception committee includes Pauline Perley, chairman, Helen Bierman, B a r b a r a Gautsche, and Alma Vehslage. T h e group wil l see to it that the Sophomores are guided to the Sewing room a n d made to feel a t home.

I t is planned to have the girls informally introduced to the build-ing a little later, after they have met their new teachers.

It is hoped that they won't feel quite as lost as a new Sophomore class usually does.

Phetogrttphy for the " P o r t t i g h t , " the school annual , is progressi i^ r a -pidly, for the appearance of snow has oHered tmusual opportunity for the staff to get some good pictures. At eight o'clocic last Thursday, Bruce Cox, photography editor, and one of his aids, were at worii while the school was still shimmering i n snow. They obtained some views which will undoubtedly enhance the com-ing year book.

The "Port L i g h t " staff inaugur-ated its sale of candy at the G l e n Cove game. T h e purpose of these sales is to help defray expenses which the s ta l l has incurred.

Dr. Harry E l m e r Barnes, famous newspaper commen-tator, criminologist, sociolo-gist and historian, wil l dis-cuss the "Problem of C r i m e " at the second session of the Public F o r u m on Tuesday evening, J a n u a r y 25.

T h e first session of the Public Forum, whlcli was unavoidably post-poned to last Wednesday evening because of the non-appearance of the guest speaker, Stanley High, on J a n u a r y 11, was admittedly a tre-mendous success in that a lai^e a u -dience turned out to hear Mr . High's inspiring talk, "Where Do We G o F r o m H e r e ? " .

Best-seller Author Dr . Barnes , who is acclaimed by

luminaries of many fields of l i tera -ture, penology, and religion, is a u -thority on world politics and the author of many l>est-sellers.

A n educator, lecturer, and writer, he is said by all who have attended his classes, heard his speeches, and read his books to be " a n effective foe of sham, superstition and intol -erance. "

Professor Barnes first gained note as a result ot his efforts to modern-ize and humanize history. H i s "New History and the Social Studies have been declared an " e p o c h - m a k i n g " work. T h e publication of his " G e n s i s of the World W a r " and his "Wor ld Polit ics " brought h i m international fame and a long series of lectures at the leading universities of E u -rope and America. Authorship of "Kepresslon or C r i m e , " "dtory of Punishment " and "Batt l in g the Crime Wave" , ranked h i m foremost among the trenchant foes of the savagery of our outgrown and f u -tile prison system and pre-eminent among those humanitarians plead-ing the cause of scientific treatment of crime problems.

Championing religious reconstruc-tion, he penned " T h e Twilight of Christ ianity , " an opus that caused nothing short of a sensation i n the world of literature and the church . Not an attack on religion, but a n appeal to harmonize it with our modern knowledge of the universe and man. Dr . B a r n e s ' book is said to have magisterially thrown down a challenge which present day r e -ligious leadership can not ignore."

Dr . Neilson Comments When Dr . Barnes resigned from

S m i t h College to take a journalistic post with the Scripps-Howard news-papers. President Wi l l iam Al lan Neil son said ot h i m in his com-mencement address:

" H e stimulated a large body of students to think tor themselves. He displayed and employed in this work the longest range of information of any scholar that I have ever known. T h e value to a college of that type of encyclopedic knowledge is very great, "

Clarence Darrow, great exponent of legal truth, said of the speaker who will come to Port Washington next Tuesday evening, " I cast h i m my mantle. I feel relieved for 1 know that he will take up a good deal of my work."

Seldom has any speaker received the far-flung recognition that has been accorded D r . Barnes . G l o w i i ^ praise has likened h i m to a second "Robert Ingersoll . " evincing his great genius and versatility. " A n exciting speaker"—is the way in which scores of organizations have descriljed him.

Charles N. Wysong, former dis -trict attorney of Nassau County wil l be the local chairman for Dr . Barnes ' lecture at Port Washington High School, next Tuesday evening at 8:15 p.m.

Social Dancing Classes T h e social dancing classes that

were started this semester wil l be continued next semester in Room 110 from 3 to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays.

Those boys and girls interested should sign a list In Miss B . H a w -thorne's room as soon as possible. T h i s class win be limited to the first ten boys and the first ten girls who sign up.

Bon Voyage, Graduates ! ! Today marks the last day of the f a l l t e r m . A f t e r Reg-

ents Week, a l though our ranks w i l l be swel led by a goodly number of incoming Sophomores, many Seniors w i l l be l eav ing the i r H i g h School career beh ind and steping out i n search of wo rk or h igher educat ion.

A l t h o u g h the out look may seem g loomy f o r those who have no def inite plans, we w o u l d l ike to r e m i n d t h e m that there is a lways a place f o r those w h o persevere. Those who are lucky enough to have obta ined a j ob t h r o u g h an-other 's influence should not f o rge t t h e i r ob l igat ions to do the i r best. No mat t e r wha t the w o r k ia t h a t you ob ta in , be sure you do your best; f o r any j ob repays you as much as the effort you pu t into i t .

You who leave our classic hal ls because of g radua -t ion to pursue a h igher educat ion w i l l f ind tha t y ou r w o r k becomes special ized. You w i l l have to w o r k more d i l i -gent ly to keep up w i t h your studies. Students wh o have gone t h r o u g h h i gh school w i t h l i t t l e amb i t i on and self-re l iance w i l l f ind t h a t they must learn to do rea l s tudy ing or f a i l . Col leg professors have large classes and there is l i t t l e chance fo r t h e m to rate the i r students o ther t h a n by exams.

W e extend our sincere wishes of fu tu r e success to these classmates of ours who are l eav ing us and t rus t t h a t a l l actions w i l l b r i ng c red i t to t h e m a n d the Por t Wash ing ton Senior H i g h School.

By Three Wise M e n

We w i sh to t h a n k M r . A lbe r t S. B r o w n , Jr . , o f Corne l l for h is le t ter . I t makes us feel good to know t h a t he s t i l l condescends to read the So-c ia l C o l u m n of The Po r t Weekly, We are sorry t h a t we canno t comply w i t h his request to use h is name more often.

Dig Deep, Brother! This year, as every o ther year a t the same t ime . The

Port Weekly launches i ts semi-annual drive for subscrip-t ions. Those un lucky people who d id not take the advan-tage o f the ten cent reduct ion in a year 's subscr ipt ion have to renew the de l ivery of the i r paper w i t h another fifty cents. B u t even t h a t ia a decided saving f r o m b u y i n g you r issue each week a t a n icke l per copy.

Cer ta in ly a lame excuse for no t purchas ing a subscr ipt ion to the school paper is t h a t you could n o t f ind a representat ive to w h i c h you could give your name and money. D u r i n g the two weeks a f ter Regents, you w i l l barely be able to escape them. Each home r o o m w i l l be as-signed a j o l l y o ld representat ive t h a t w i l l even supply the paper and pen -c i l w i t h w h i c h to make a l l a r range-ments for the ensuing fifteen weeks. W h e n you do so, you also he lp h i m to qua l i f y for the prizes w h i c h are to be ottered again for Uie represen-tat ives-at - large .

A n o t h e r obviously lame excuse for your not subscr ib ing is t h a t there is loo m u c h adver t i s ing i n each issue. I f you were to s tudy the you would emerge a new and r e f o r m -f inanc ia l status of The Po r t Weekly, ed person and probably tafee ou t two subsclrpt lons. T h i s year the ap -p rox imate cost for p roduc ing the p r i n t e d paper is $1200; each weekly issue costs about $35, The income f r o m the s tudent body and facu l ty per year is only $725; obviously t h e n you can see t h a t the paper has t o balance the budget by r e f e r r i n g to outside help, w h i c h comes i n t h e f o r m of adver t i s ing .

Now t h a t you have been g iven a t h u m b - n a i l sketch o f how the paper is backed financially; don ' t begrudge i t a few co lumn Inches o f adver t i s -ing . Remember, the qua l i t y of the ma t e r i a l t h a t makes up the paper has been f i rs t class for the last two years.

See your reprsentat ive a n d renew your subscr ipt ion now. I f y o u d id n o t o r i g ina l l y l iave one, take one ou t now !

Port Cagers Down Glen Cove In Hard Fought Encounter As Romeyko Stars

Last Minute Rally Clinches Second League Victory Junior Varsity Wins First Encounter

The Port High Cajfera won both ends of their twin bill with Glen Cove last Friday night. The Varsity team won by the close score of 27 to 24 after one of the hardest fought and most thr i l l ing battles probably ever witnessed in Port's gymnasium. A large crowd was present, and excitement ran high because of the many close moments In the game Mike

Regents Bugaboo

Romeyko was Port's high scorer for the contest with ten points. He also was top scorer for the evening wi th Simptsoii of Glen Cove a close sec-ond with eight points. Pussey Mark-land broke loose for a change and tallied seven counters as did Sammy Pierce and AI Simoneslcl of the Red and Green. Strange as i t may seem Port's stellar performers at last week's game—Mac McCarthy and Tony Augustlno. scored only one and two pomts respectively. This Is the f i f th Blue arid White t r iumph Of the season and the second league victory.

.\rt DufTy Scores Port scored first when Ar t Duffy,

who substituted at center for Don Smith, sank a foul shot. The local boys then proceeded to run up eight more points i n this init ial period while the Covers gained only one.

The second quarter, however, saw Glen Cove come back and toss the sphere into the hoop for eleven t a l -lies. Pussey and Mike Romeyko, to-gether, scored Ave i n return and the count stood at the half, 14 to 12 i n Port's favor.

The th i rd period produced nearly equal battling in behalf of both ag-gregations as did the final quarter. Port added on 13 while Glen Cove gained 12 i n the second half. The last few minutes of the final frame saw bedlam break loose wi th the score 24 all . The furore reached ita height when Mike Romeyko calmly dropped a foul shot through the basket, putting his tam In the lead by a single point. Tony Augustlno, however, followed wi th his only score of the evening by sinking the leather sphere on a difficult shot. Wi th the advantage In their hands Port fought hard and succeeded i n protecting i t . Thus the Blue and White added another tr iumph.

Second Team Wins The second team made the even-

ing entirely complete by winning the first game of the season. They nearly shut the Glen Cove seconds out by trouncing them I I to 1. Cherry, John Smith, McKenna and Henry Peper contributed to the victory.

Port High leads the Western Division of the North Shore Basketball League. Sounds good, doesn't it? Let's see If we can stay there. We've got what i t takes to turn the trick.

• • * I t seems that al l I do is pull the Port quintet apart. I do think they're

a pretty slick team though. They showed that against Glen Cove last v/eek by wmning thr i r second straight league game. 37-34. The "White Phantoms" from Port led throughout the game and put on the pressure whenever I t was most needed.

• • • -4r( Duffy started in the line-up in place of Don Smith, who vxu ill,

and Art reaily played a bang-up game. In fact, he literally played a '•bang-up game" for he committed three fouls in the ftrst period. How-ever, he did score five points while he was in the game which shotes that he's got something there. Eh! Art? - • •

Port received a good many foul tries, but was very deficient i n put-ting them through the hoop. Better polish up, boys, tor those points often mean the game.

Tonight, the game wi th Garden City wilt be played here instead of i n our opponent's gym. as i t was (M-lginally scheduled. This contest is not a league game; but i t should be very interesUng, for Port may t ry some experiments daring this breathing spe«L

• • • The Blue and While has now icon five out of six games; this is a

good record in any league. The only toss occurred against St Paul's Rutnor has it that they are averaging almost fifty points a game.

Come on, team, keep up the average tonight! We'll be a-rootlnl By ELEANOR JENKINS

The week In sports has not been very eventful, only one game has been played; but our girls have many promising encounters to look forward to. The first contest wUl be held at a Volley Ball Sports Day which is being sponsored by the Manhasset team on January 31st. Great Neck and Roslyn wil l also send representaUve teams to enter the tourna-ment. Port wi l l send four teams, consisting of the first and second teams and two pick-up teams. Anyone wishing to go should make arrangements now. There wi l l be a small fee of twenty-five cents, tor the gtris wUl at-tend a supper after the games. The ne.tt Volley ball game wil l come on February 28th with Southside opposing us, and i f their teams can be Judged by their hockey playing, they are formidable foes.

�� �� ��The game with Glen Cove has been postponed unti l February 11. Oar

team ought to be able to secure a victory at that time. Last year's bas-ketball team had the K'>*>d record of seven victories, one He, and two defeats. The two defeats were both taken from Manhasset. but this year the contest with them wi l l not be played unt i l Marrh. By that time our team will probably be ready to take them over. The .scheduled basketball games do not start unt i l February 3rd. when we meet Oyster Bay Last season's team was easily victorious over Oyster Bay. The score of that game was 41-11. • • •

The games have been scheduled so that instead of having return games with the same schools, different teams um be played. Southside is one of these new additions, and that game, which promises to be exciting, will be played on February ath. The 15th of the same month will see another contest with Freeport. • • •

The basketball team is w o r k i i ^ steadily row. and during Regents week there wi l l be three important practices. At one of them the new-comers from Junior High will be given an opportunity to show their skill and some of them may tje added to the squad.
