Message to All Students And we ' re otf] Summer vaca-

tion Is over and a very p r o m i s -ing school year is under way. On behaii <rf die G.O.. I would "like to welcome back toSchreiber this year ' s juniors and seniors and sound a hearty greeting to all sophomores. The C.O, officers and commtitee chairmen have been very busy over the last lew weeks planning the activities for the coining year. We have many worthwhile programs to initiate and, with the support d our s tu-dent body, the G.O. can be ex-tremely effective in carrying out many student programs and In playing an important role In s tu-dent life at Schreiber.

Remember- the G.O, Is your, government, and for your wel-fare as well as chat of the s tu-dent body, it Is very Important that every student individually takes an interest in his G.O. and its activities. So - know your G.0.1

This September has started and will continue as a busy month. Your G.O. personnel has so far had two very successful functions. - The teacher-student btrbecue on August 26 and the G.O. get-acqualntedparty onSep-tember 6.

yet elected), wUI meet as f re -quently as the Representative Body. The Advisory Board met last Monday and discussed com-mittee responsibilities. Com-mittee membership slgn-ups will

be held very shortly. 1 pers<mal-ly urge you to sign up for the committee you are interested in working on. Scq^homores are especially needed and encouraged to sign up.

On Friday, September 27, the spirit committee will present the annual pep-assembly.

In the near future, many other programs which you should be looking for will be organized by the G.O. In the last week I made contact with die G.O. p r e ^ sidenis at Roslyn, Manhasset, Garden City, and Great Neck North. In October there will be a meeting with the i^'esidents of these four schools here In Port . At this meeting we will form a High School Bowl League. - This will greatly enlarge last year ' s program. Other programs a r e Inter-Class school activities, the student exchange program, G.O, social functions, and interesting assemblies .

As you can see .wehaveagrea t deal to do. The G.O. officers are looking forward to a wonderful year. With the co-operation and support of everyone we will have a great time and accomplish a lot in 1963-64.

Doug Pitman, G.O. President

Schreiber Students Attend State Conferences

Have you ever Imagined what it must be like to be a State Senator, Assemblyman, o r even the Governor? Last year Bar-bara Thombury and Rick WaU were elected by their c lass to represent Port High at a Boys' State and Gir l s ' State. Before then neither one of them had heard of these programs, ^ M N I -sored by the American Legion, they hold a convention of de le-gates from high schools all over the state to set and run a government exactly parallel to our state govemmetit. Held For 1300 boys at Colgate College, and for 3S0 gir ls at Cortland State College during the last week of June, the programs gave Bobbl and Rick their first tas te of living in a college dorm and the experience of actually organ-izing and running a state govern-ment. Political parties were assigned to the delegates arb i -t rar i ly . Bobbi and Rick were faced with the problem of elect-ing city, county, and state of-f icers . But how do pec^Ie elect (^fleers from a iar^e group of obviously well -qualified r e p r e -sentatives of their schQoIs whom they have never met before? This is to some extent the same problem that the voter is faced with In many elections. With-in the par t ies , nominations be-gan. At the same t ime, all the delegates attended lectures on various phases of state and local government. After the meeting of theEmplre State dele-gates had a chance to get to -gether within their part ies to organize cheers , write campaign songs, plan party emblems and slogans, and assign the dally ar t ic les to be written for the p r e s s . Bobbl enjoyed trading cheers with the delegates. Boy? State also included a program of ail kinds of sports for the dele-gates in the afternoons. Bick said that he really enjoyed get-ting to know some of the de le-gates through team cooperation.

The excitement began to In-crease as the zeal of a t n M c a m -

paign convention began. BoHbi complained that she never got any s l e ^ because she only had time to get to kiKiw her fellow dele-gates after the full day of lec-tures and campaign activities was over. The night before the state elections, the girls staged a polidcal rally through the streets of Cortland. Dres s -ed in their party colors , the delegates surrounded the party floats which carr ied the state nominees through the s t ree t s . Each nominee had to give cam-paign speeches before the a s -sembled group. Each party had to devise a party platform. The election of state officials and the governor culminated the in -tensity of the.ampalgn. Although the delegates had met only three days before. Pick and Bobbi said that B spirit of party loyalty and comradeship had developed. The party winners were announced; party members ran to congrat-ulate their candidates. For the remaining days Rick and Bobbi participated as State senators In actually functioning at a state govt. The Congressmen intro-duced legislation In such varied a reas as fallout, vehicle and traf-fic laws andare-evaluadonofthe State Regents Program.

Both Bobbi and Rick feel they gained a great deal from this program. Besides making new friends from all over the state, working together with a rea l dedication to their part ies , par-ticipaUng in govt., the excite-ment, fun and laughter of cam-

paigns, parades, i. beers , speeches, and team sports , they gained a new Insight into the poUtldan 's responsibility. In

evaluation of their t r ip, both regret that they hadn't enough time to get to know such a great bunch of kids. Their ex-perience in applied politics was welcome and rewarding. It will long be remembered. Finally both Rick and BoUiI wished to express their thanks to the A-merlcan Legion.

Workday Proceeds from Sweden Bring OUe

OUe's home is in Stockholm. He Is interested In sailing, meet-ing people, and political science, a field he hopes he may someday enter. His mother Is afree-lance journalist, and his father is an editor for an advertising agency. He has a fourteen year old s i s -te r and says that his family life here is "about the s ame" asthat In Sweden.

Olle finds that school here differs greatly frwn schools In Sweden. He attended the gym-nasium, wrtiich Includes,thetenth, eleventh, and twelfth g r a d e s , tut he says x^c tenth grade is like

a senior year, and the eleventh and twelfth a r e more like a Junior college. School is manda-tory until the ninth grade, and then the students n u y enter the Gymnasium If they wish.

Since the seventh grade, OUe has studied religion, Swedish l i terature, Swedish writing, h i s -tory and civics, geography, bio-logy, physics, French, German, English, chemistry, m a t h , musiiv and drawing, a n d gymnastics ana sports . It s e e m s like a full sched-ule, but students have each class CMily once or twice a week over a period of y e a r s , instead of each class e v e r y day.

The smdents do not change classrooms; the teachers come to them, b r e a k s between c lasses are ten minutes long, and the students may go outdoors during a break. Each day there is one fifteen minute break, and the lunch period is fifty-five minutes long. Swedish studetus go to school on Saturdays except during the months of May andSeptember when summer Is just starting and ending. This is because many Swedish families have summer homes, and like to take their children there over the week-ends.

Olle says that American movies a r e very popular In Sweden. Westerns, "My Fa i r Lady", and "West Side Story" have been among the favorites. Foreign films are very well a t -tended In Sweden, and when one goes to the movies he doesn't care where the film was made as long as he enjoys It.

Everyone at Schrelbo' wishes Olle die best of luck during his year as an AFSer In America. ProfUe of Helene Deveze, A.F.S. student fn:>m France , in next issue.

Y . A . R . E . M U S T S U R V I V B :

T h e Youthful A m e r i c a n s for R a c i a l Equal ity ( Y . A . R . E . I was founded l a s t s u m m e r in the hopQ. that any d i s cus s i on of the prob lems of Negro c i t i z ens in Port Washington would be healthy. The large turnout for i t s f i r s t mee t -ing in .August at E l l e n T ibby ' s house indicated the great concern youth has for questions of r a c i a l equality. Attending the meeting we r e high school s t u -dents, col lege students, and high school teachers .

At the f i r s t meet ing two committees were appointed to investigate whether d i s c r imina t i on was pract iced in h i r ing Negroes in Por t Washington; to d e -termine whether Negro students were discouraged from part ic ipat ing in school ac t i v i t i e s because of the i r r a c e .

T h e s e two committees approached the i r tasks with high hopes, but it didn't take long for them to d i s cove r that to find the information they wanted was a much more formidable task than it appeared at f i r s t . F i r s t of a l l , e s t ab -l ished Negro c i t i z ens and f ami l i es resented being asked by s e v e r a l t een - age r s whether they had any trouble in finding employment. Natura l ly most people who a r e present ly employed would not w i s h to make an i s s u e out of some difficulty they may have had months o r y e a r s ago. B e s i d e s , this bus iness i s pr ivate .

The other committee , after determining that Negro part ic ipat ion in e x t r a -c u r r i c u l a r c lubs i s very low, was unable to state whether low part icipation was a r e su l t of l a ck of in te res t , l ack of enthus iasm, o r the fear of being the only Negro in a club.

But di f f icult ies a r e to be expected. The fact that Y A R E has a d e s i r e to understand shows that it has the r ight s p i r i t .

I bel ieve that s i nce Y A R E i s a youth organizat ion, a student organizat ion, though in no way affiliated with the school , it must f i r s t determine the p rob -l e m s , i f any, that youths have encountered in finding jobs o r joining c lubs . Who would know more about these two a r e a s than Negro students in the hig^ school who may have had prob lems doing s o ? Sure ly d i scuss ion and inquiry among students of the same age with common in te res t s would not c r ea te r e -sentment a s it did with adult c i t i z e n s of the community who were asked p e r -sonal information by teenagers. F u r t h e r m o r e , high school students a r e better equipped to understand the i r own prob lems than the problems of adults . There fo re , let Youthful A m e r i c a n s for R a c i a l Equa l i ty approach the q u e s -tions of youthful A m e r i c a n s who d e s i r e equality.

E l l e n T lbby and R i c h a r d But l e r , the two who led Y A R E through i ts f i r s t month, w i l l soon be going to col lege and have r e a l i z ed that to su r v i v e Y A R E must have l e ade r sh ip while they a r e gone. In the hope that this group would not complete ly d i s so lve , E l l e n and R i c h a r d urged that the membe r s of Y A R E work through SAM, the Student Action Movement. SAM i s a school club that w i s h e s to do s e r v i c e to the community through va r ious pro jects , including community tutoring and aid to high school dropouts. Although it would seem that these two groups Y A R E and SAM, have ident ica l goals, I feel that a m e r g e r of the two would r e su l t in the Youthful A m e r i c a n s for R a c i a l E q u a l -ity perhaps los ing i t s spec i f ic goal of c i v i l r i ghts , and in SAM having too much to do to focus on any one goal at the s a m e t ime . Needless to say , the m o r e s ing leness of purpose a group has , the more effectively it can ach ieve i ts goal. It i s best now to p r e s e r ve Y A R E and its spec i f i c purpose.

To s u r v i v e , however, it needs l eadersh ip and enthus iast ic part ic ipat ion. Y A R E has the enthus iasm, but now it must have the l e ade r s . T h i s o r g a n i z a -tion must choose capable l eaders now, for a s t ime p a s s e s so does i t s chance to su rv i ve .

Why Team Teaching ? by Jonathan Harris,

History Department

Have you ever wished, as you discussed some controversial tcpic In your history c lass , that you could gel at least two, and possibly more , well-informed opinions before forming your own conclusion? Have you ever no-ticed that history teachers (like all teachers) a re cdten more knowledgeable and enthusiastic about some areas of their sub-ject than about others? Now, suppose that your class was about to study a topic that was not one d your teacher 's specialt ies, and another teacher could step Into the breach Co give you the benefit of his special Interest and enthusiasm. Think thatmlght heipT

One way to reach these is through team leaching. This exciting new approach to Instruc-tion has now been introduced Into our history department

Team teaching is one of many innovations developed in recent years by American educators. Launched experimentally only seven years ago, it is already in regular operation in more than a thousand schools across the nation. Results so far in-dicate that team teaching, when properly understood and Intel-ligently implemented, fulfills two pr imary objectives: it improves the quality of instruction, making learning a r icher andmores i im-ulatlng experience for students;

I and ti makes more effective use

teachers ' skills, knowledge and time.

About one-half ti this year ' s Senior Class is studying Ameri-can Wsiory under a two-man team consisting erf Mr. Stopsky and me. Our classes sometimes meet In large groups (about 45 students) to hear a lecture, see a film, listen to a recording or witness a debate, panel program or other presentation by the two teachers or by students. While the large group Is attending a presentation by one teacher, the other teacher may be holding con-ferences with individuals or smalt groups of student.s, d i s -cussing individual problems, suggesting methods of improve-

ment, helping to prepare a fu-ture debate or group report. At ocher t imes classes meet sep-arately. In somewhat smaller groups, for discussion or other more individualized activities. Or. while one teacher is holding a c lass discussion with perhaps 25 students, 20 others may be working in the library under the sec ood teac her ' s superv is ion. Always, the keynote is flexibility, suiting the method of instruction to the needs d the students and [he nature of the subject matter .

Here is an example of what team teaching makes possible. Mr. Stopsky and I have very different opinions as to whether Theodore Roosevelt was a gen-uinely great President. After our students have studied and mas -tered the essential facts about Theodore Roosevelt's p res i -dency, I shall do all I can, la two days of attempted "b ra in -washlii&" to convince them that Roosevelt does not deserve the accolade of greatness. Mr. Stopsky will then spend two days anacking everything that [ have said and attempting to re -bra in -wash our classes to the con-trary epinion. Result: students will have to think for themselves, reconsider the facts, form [heir own judgments, and, we hope, learn anew that history can be as exciting as tomorrow's head-lines.

Schreiber Students Attend March The Negro minister threw his

a rms out toward the crowd: " I have a dream.. . that my four lit-tle children wllt one day live in a nation where they will not be Judged by the color of their skin, iHit by the content of their charac te r , " he c r i e d , a n d a q u a r -ter of a million voices shouted tbelr agreement.

The highliglit al the August 28th March on Washington was reached; it came not vrith r io t -ing, not with rampant r ac i sm, and not with hopeless bit terness. Instead, this preacher 's oration, filled with Biblical eloquence and symbolic truth, inspired not only the hear ts of the people present but ibe conscience of the entire world. Martin Luther King's speech climaxed the most magnificent "calculated r i s k " ever talten.

Ear l ier that morning, Oan Moss, Mark Landsberg and i had taken die 3:30 A.M. train into Penn Station, the 7th Ave. subway to 19^ Street, and the | 5:30 chartered bus to Washing-ton. We passed through N e w j e r -sey, Delaware, and Maryland, and, a f t ^ several expected un-expected delays, we reached the Washington Monutnent by 11:00. Groups from Oklahoma, New Hampshire, and Puerto Rico — from just about everywhere— had also arrived. Hundreds 0* delegations were asked to go to designated places on the Mon-ument grounds from which tney would march down either In-dependence or Constitution Ave-iKies. Tension and curiosity both mounted aS several irf our groups were led toward Constitution Avenue.

A young girl flung her NAACP hat in the a i r , saying, '"Oh, 1 hope nobody s ta r t s somethin ' ."

A young boy of no more iban twelve bravely looked up at the world and held his placard aloft. "We ' re gonna keep on marchln' till we got those r igh t s , " he declared.

by John Burleigh;

Throughout the march down ConstltuUon. with NBC cameras peering at us , the worried a p -prehension persis ted. The crowd held i ts placards high, waving them when the cameras were on. We knew wtiat the home viewers were seeing: tbe bokily lettered signs reading "Tto U.S. Dough to Help Jim Crow," "We Demand Voting Rights ," ' T a x a -tion Without Integration is T y r -anny," "We Demand an FEPC NOW." "Segregation Has Long Outlived Us Use lessness . "

And yet, despite tlils justifiable hard e v e of emotion, a sense of brotherhood remained the most prevalent feeling throughout. When we settled down and took our places in the massive crowd, this united feeling was even more a f ^ r e n t - The white marchers did not simply, look on. Instead, every marcher , white and black, cheered the many speakers.

The three ot us felt this unity most when we arrived at Lincoln Memorial. We wandered some-what helplessly at the back of the throng, b<^ing to f indac lea r -Ing through which we could scurry nearer the piaiform. After a few desperate minutes, we turned to a rotund marcher in much the same fix. "Looks like we stay at the back, huh?" we said. He peered down with his dark brown eyes and laughed. "Jus t hang onto my coattalls and we'll push right on through to the front." We somehow grabbed a hold at each other and, shouting "Sick personi" and "Heat victim comin' throughl" we got to the top level of the Memorial grounds. Our leader stopped attd patted us on the back.

did I tell you? When you want to get through you've got to do something." He looked up at the c loudless sicy, "Even wldi this heat, you've just got to keep comln' through." And somehow the three ol us realized that our friend had not made just a p a s s -ing comment. He had summed up the meaning of the March on Washington.

And so the program began. From the moment A. Philip Ran-dolph began his opening s ta te -ment, the crowd response was sheer electricity. When John Lewis said,"We must remember that the party of Kennedy is the party o( Eastland; and that the party ot Javits is also the party of Goldwaier," when Daisy Bates sa ld"We will s i t - in, kneel-In, and lle-ln until every Negro in America can vote," and when James Farmer said, "We will not come oH tbe s t reets until... we can work in any place in tbe land," the applause was deafen-ing-

However, response was n o t r e -strlcted to emotional outburst. Statements of solemn Intellect were met with similar approval. One o€ the warmest responses of the day was given to Rabbi Joachim Prinz when he said, "Bigotry and prejudice are not the most important problems. Tlie most tragic problem is s i -lence...America must not become a nation of onlookers. We must speak up and act, from the P r e s -ident down to the humblest of US." TTie statementsofRandolph, Dr. Eugene Blake, and Mathew Atunann — all equally cerebral — provoked the same warm ap-plause. Interestingly enough, the culmination of the March, the tying together of the emotional and intellectual loose ends ,came with the a [ ^ a r a n c e at Dr. King. His appeal was to the basic hopes and dreams of every fam-ily man, black aui white. His " d r e a m s " were a st irring fore-shadow dt a PrfHnised Land that has been held back for 350 years.

As a student, 1 can only hope that 1 will, as Oc. King said, "continue to work with the faith that honor in suffering is r e -demptive." I can only h c ^ that I have the fttier to do so .

That is my dream.

Our reporters found some varied opinions, Brrada Wilham complimented and criticized, saying: "I think Schreiber is confusing, but i t 's a lot of fun. 1 can't stand the lunch shifts ."

"1 p r d e r High School to Junior H l ^ I think there 's a big variety of things to do h e r e , " li appeared that the boys were not so easily satisfied.
