Coming Events Valuable

The value of keeping posted on current problems may not be appreciated by the student body as a whole, but it was brought home to this school by an all-county examination given recently to representa-tives of this school along with picked students of other Nas-sau County schools in a current events test. This test gave an accurate picture of their know-ledge of current problems. Winning a test of this sort wil l be of great worth to any stu-dent and be invaluable in re-commending him for scholar-ships or jobs.

K n o w l e d g e a n d interest in current events wil l be invalu-able to the student whether he participates in such tests as this or not. He should find them in -teresting to follow and wil l spend profitable periods each day in studying a newspaper. Everyone should be somewhat informed on the daily occur-rences in the world about him if only so that he might be a b l e to carry on an intelligent conver-Fiition a b o u t c u r r e n t topics. It

is better for a s t u d e n t to read a l l varieties of news a n d not to confine himself to reading only sports or the comic section. This type of reading wil l give him a broad - minded understanding of a l l the important questions of the day.

Spring Fever Begins To Take Annual ToU

Of Students' Lives

Q U E S T I O N M A R K / H o w d i d M r . Scherer get t h e flat t i r e

over a t Mineo la? I f i t h a d n ' t been for those two master m i n d mechanics , R u n d l e a n d W i l s o n , he probably w o u l d s t i l l be there .

B y C H A S L I N C O L N S p r i n g fever is beg inn ing to take its

t o l l of lives aga in t h i s year. Possibly you have at some t i m e h a d the urge to take your books a n d homework , throw t h e m away, a n d settle d o w n to a l i fe of eat ing , sleeping, a n d m a k i n g y o u r -self comfortable . T h i s state of affairs is cal led " s p r i n g fever," a n d is u n f o r -t u n a t e l y f a r too good to be t r u e . E x -t e n d i n g our inves t i ga t i o n i n t o the field of medica l science we find t h a t "spr ing fever" is a state of m i n d b r o u g h t about by sympathet i c i r r i t a t i o n o f our senses. As i t is sometimes h a r d to believe t h a t state of m i n d could ever exist i n a h i g h school p u p i l , we m u s t find a more appropr ia te d e f i n i t i o n ; n a m e ly that s p r i n g fever is a state of complete l a z i -ness usual ly accompanied by a menta l dormancy .

Fever Season Open

P'rom t h i s we discerned t h a t the fever extends over most o f the school year b u t as t r a d i t i o n has l i m i t e d " t h e open season" for susceptabi l i ty, we can feel secure i n our lapses.

To i l l u s t r a t e the devastat ing results of th i s disease, we find t h a t a f a i r young sophomore w h e n asked to gather notes of in teres t about var ious members of h is class came i n t o the P o r t Weekly Room w i t h a f a r off look i n his eye and stated t h a t his class " h a d no points of in teres t . " Now of course the facts are not complete, b u t i f t h a t is so, several seniors have ev ident ly been hanging a r o u n d the sophomore homerooms just f o r the c l imate .

A n o t h e r s y m p t o n comes f r o m the l u n c h r o o m where a l l the g i r l s are be-g i n n i n g to go o n apple diets for the c oming b a t h i n g su i t season. Whi l e the boys don ' t d iet they appear to lose w e i g h t t h i s t i m e of year a n d the only e x p l a n a t i o n seems to be t h a t they worry a lo t . W h i l e the f a c u l t y doesn't sub-scribe to t h i s theory , no one has of-fered a better one.

W h y Desks Are Smal l

A senior c la ims t h a t he has found the answer to t h a t the c u r r e n t problem of w h y the desks were made so smal l . He says t h a t i f they were n o t as smal l and uncomfor tab le as they are, everyone w o u l d f a l l asleep a r o u n d t h i s t ime of year ; a n d n o t h i n g w o u l d be accomplish-ed. O f course some of the seniors are h a r d to keep awake, b u t i t is j u s t pos-sible t h a t there was a more sinister mot ive beh ind the desk s i t u a t i o n than we are aware of.

T h e dramat i c s class is l e n d i n g its bit to the s i t u a t i o n by present ing the bal -cony scene f r o m "Romeo a n d J u l i e t " to r e m i n d the lads t h a t now is the t i m e to a t t e n d to m a t t e r s of " p u r e l y personal interests . "

As no one is i m m u n e f r o m t h i s sub-ject under discussion you m i g h t j u s t as we l l res ign yourselves to your fa te a n d succumb.

Industrial Arts Shop Is Host At Exhibition

NationallyKnownCraftsmen Display Wood Carvings

O n Thursday, May 20, the Industria l Arus Department of the Port W a s h i n g -ton School was host to the Long I s l a n d Industr ia l Arts Association, a group

,rr.oHo i i n of instructors of shop work hundred girls cavortmg aiounu . i . ^ -sorts of dances. T h e bevy of pulchri -tudinous beauties adorning the throne increased the eye value of that s truc-ture a coupJa fold. Costumes for the whole thing were elaborate . . . in fact some of the boys went so far as to admit that they were " s w e l l . " A n u m -ber of the " m u s i c i a n s " i n the band were in several dilemmas while play-ing. T h ey really wanted to see some of the things going on but if they looked they knew that they'd laugh and so not be able to play . . . besides, there was Mr. Christopher to reckon with. Coincidence . . . Mary Nicholson and Dave MuUon both showed up in cowboy attire at a recent costume party. Y o u make something out of it, I ' m tired.

• • • Some " n i n e bees" are shouting the

praises of Mr. B r e n n a n after last F r i -day and Saturday. Some of our male teachers have promised to get " c r e w " haircuts. Al l , so I was told, each of them is waiting for, is to have another get his first. T h e "magic pads" which the council is selling aren't being used by many to take notes, the stated p u r -pose of them. K i d s seem to be too absent-minded in accidentally lifting the wax paper and cellophane when there are a lot of notes written on it waiting to be copied into notebooks. However the artistic ability of many a " s tude" is being greatly furthered by the pads. Pictures and other things may be safely drawn on the pad, for when a "kibitzer" looms on the horizon all that is necessary to erase anything on the pad is a flip of the wrist . O f course the impression remains for some time on the " s l a t e " part . . . so remem-ber to rub that toooo.

Ho. ho. A n n a B e r t h a Winfield knows a secret—And they call R i c h a r d T e n n e -son the K i l l e r from Manila , huh?

Bi l ly Shawcross and Doreen Dendie-val certainly "put their heads together" when they read the Port Junior . . .

Hey, youse girls and youse gals! There are just 25 more days of school until the summer vacation. O r aren't you interested?

* 4̂ *

T'.iS council is going to use money realized from the sale of magic pads to purchase new flood lights for the auditorium. Anne Hartel l went in swimming as long ago as the Easter vacation. They 're calling F r a n k Miller " D o i d e l y " . I f you want to get Russel l Beckley's nanny call h i m (so we're told) " R u s t y " or " J u n i o r " or, so we're also told, he'll blush if you mention I n a Campbell . Bi l ly B l u m has resorted to fighting with pencils instead of swords. O h heck, we really tried to write this without mentioning Mr . Monprode but he slipped in anyway. Mr. Monprode missed being elected May K i n g in college by just five votes. . . . so H E says. And by the way, if any of you happen in Miss Mallon's room-211 — t u r n to the right and open your lovely, orbs. Jus t in case you haven't guessed, you'll see a rather long, wide, deep, brownish wooden contraption with a n oblong hole in the top. I f you have anything that you think would make good "copy" , take some writing implement and let yourself go. Slide the result into the before mentioned box. I t ' s the Port Junior box!

I n commenting on the contest for the most ideal homeroom, which is spon-sored by the Port Junior, Mr. Johnson issued the following statement:

" I a m pleased that the Port Junior is sponsoring a contest which will effect the appearance of our classrooms. After all , we must live and work in them d good number of hours a year. I do believe that the aspect of our surroundings has a great deal to do with our happiness of mind and therefore affect our working habits. Nothing is more depressing than having to work in squalor and untidiness; on the other side, 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever.'

Besides having neat and attractively arranged aquariums, pot plants, book-cases, bulletin boards, magazine racks or tables, and the like, I think that the classroom is first a workshop and should display our finished products.

I am going to offer a prize which will add to the appearance of the room to the winner of this contest. May the best homeroom w i n ! " ' T h e winner will be announced on Maj 28 at which time the prize will be awarded.

Photography Is Theme Of Library Exhibits

Movie Stills, Snapshots, Portraits Displayed

A n interesting display on photog-raphy may be seen in the library this week. Mr. Daly, principal of the Sands Point School, who is interested in photography has allowed us to use some of his pictures and cameras in the exhibit. Professional photographs have also been loaned to the library by Mr. Messing of the Beacon Photo S e r v -ice. Miss E m m i e Gerhard , foremost a m -ateur photographer of the day, has also let us display some of her work.

Popular Hobby Since many junior high pupils are

interested in "snap-shoot ing" as a hobby, it is believed that this display together with many books on this sub-ject will prove interesting and educa-tional.

F o r those who are interested in the making of movies. Miss Godfree is dis-playing four or five plates of movie stills from the current picture "Romeo and J u l i e t " . T h i s picture is coming to Port Washington on May 18 at which time a special matinee will be staged for school children.

Boys' Baseball Squad Games Continue

A r t Loze Hits Second Home R u n Of Season

% Classes Prepare For Graduation Assembly

With the end of the term only five weeks away the members of the 9B classes have started preparing their graduation program for their final as -sembly.

Eddie Bailey is writing the m a n u -script for the play, the scene of which is a pawn shop. He is being assisted by Use Senn, Nancy Shakespeare, Eleanor Merril l , Buddy McQuade and B i l l Griffes. I t Is expected that every member of the class will participate. Mrs. Levine, who is in charge of the production stated that rehearsals will begin this week.

T h e second week of the Boys' B a s e -ball finds Bert Schauer's squad in the lead with two victories to their credit and no defeats while George Poole's and S m i th Gloucester's teams tied for second place with one victory and one loss apiece. I n the cellar are Charles S t a r i n and F r a n c i s Doyle's teams with just one loss apiece.

O n Monday, of last week, Bert Schauer's team won their first game by the overwhelming score of 11—1. Schauer's team proved superior at the bat. T h e batteries for the day were: S. Gloucester and H . Townsend pi tch-ing and J . Boriotti and J . Zaremba when they defeated George Poole's team and Bert Schauer pitching and C . Hew-itt catching for the former's team.

O n Wednesday of the same week, Schauer's team again proved to be tops when they defeated Georg Poole's team 18—4. Batteries for that game were far Poole's team, G . Poole, A. Morrison, and V . Natale pitching and F . I n t e r -mosole catching while for Schauer's team he and A. Loze pitched and C . Hewitt did the receiving. Art Loze hit the second homerun of the season in the game played on Monday. T h e c i r -cuit clout came in the second inning with one man on. I t was the longest hit of the season.

G i r l s ' Baseball Games T o Be Played Off Next Week

I t was stated in this paper last week that the girls' interclass baseball games would begin as soon as enough girls came out. T h i s is not exactly correct. Baseball games have been postponed until after the May Fest ival . T h e time is being spent on tennis instead. I t is expected that baseball activities will be going full swing next week.

Banking Records Sought By R i v a l Homerooms

F o r the third successive week. Miss Mandigo's homeroom leads in banking with a percentage of 86.7 percent. Miss Palmer's room is next with a percent-age of 81.5 while Mr. Hulbert's room is third with 48.1 percent.

J . Biro Wins Mention In Model Plane Meet

Joseph Biro of 9A who entered four model planes in the recent contest staged by the University Heights F l y -ing Club of New York University was awarded honorable mention for his achievements.

Mr. Craine was in charge of the dele-gation of boys who attended from our school. Over 200 boys took part in the affair which was held in V a n C o r t -landt P a r k . Aubrey Wanser also took part in the meet.

When interviewed Joe Biro stated that he was both pleased and surprised that he had received recognition be-cause most of his competitors were older than he.

Would A n Honor System W o r k In Our School ?

Outdoor May Festival Is Staged By Girls' Junior High School GymClasses Colorful Scenes Enjoyed

By Large Audience

" T h e Magic G i f t . " a May Fest ival prepared and presented by the girls of the school under the direction of Mrs. NicoU was given this week on the lawn in a setting of natural beauty.

T h e story of the pageant dealt with the efforts of the K i n g and Queen to cure their ailing son, the Prince. M a r -ion Harper and Marjorie Hal l enacted the roles of K i n g and Queen, while Victoria K o h a n s k a was a charming Prince. T h e F a i r y Princess, acted by Phyll is Warren was summoned by Ann Ross, Court Crier .

T h e Princess Prescribes T h e Princess immediately summoned

dancers from many lands to entertain and enliven the Prince. At this point groups of dancers beautifully costumed to represent ten different nations, gave an excellent program of colorful dances.

T h e Prince improved in spirit and crowned the Princess, the Queen of the May. Seated upon a throne be-decked with flowers and attended by Mary Nicholson. Marjorie Weber. A n -toinetta Cozza. Helena Adams, C h a r -lotte Griffes. Madeline Sheehan. and Betty O'Brien, the Queen witnessed the lovely May Pole dance performed in her honor.

Miss E d i t h Merriman and the junior high band under the direction of Mr. Christopher furnished the music for the dances.

C a n we junior high pupils take care of ourselves? C a n we study during a study period without the aid of a teacher in charge? I s every pupil capable of being responsible for his own actions? Could an honor system work in our school? T h i s paper be-lieves that some pupils would like to express their opinions on this sub-ject. I f you have any ideas on the subject, write them down and put them in the Port Junior box just inside Miss

Mallon's door.

I n closing Miss Palmer said. " I feel that the council will do more worth-while things, since it has been able to accomplish a few things this term that were of value to our school."
