Boys' Ba&eball Today The Port Weekly Congratu- lations to the Orchestra Vol. XIV. No. 29 Port Washington Senior High School, May 21, 1937 Price Five Cents Orchestra Awarded First Place In National Contest At Columbus Industrial Arts Shop Is Host At Exhibition NationallyKnownCraftsmen Display Wood Carvings On Thursday. May 20, the Industrial Aris Department of the Port Washing- ton School was host to the Long Island Industrial Arts Association, a group made up of instructors of shop work from all over the Island. Among the highlights of the program was the demonstration of wood carving and cabinet making by "Albert Wood and Five Soris." nationally known craftsmen of Port Washington. This was scheduled in the General Shop at the Senior High School. Mr. Carelton Pierce. In charge of Printing, had his shop open for dis- play with various types of printed pro- jects done by students during the year. Prominent among the displays in the General Shop, which is under the in- structorship of Mr. Howard R. Junker, was the shop equipment made by stu- dents of the school, metal spinning equipment, stools and screen for use during the showing of motion pic- tures on related industrial topics which are part of the course, metal and leath- er working tools, and visual instruc- tion aids. A special exhibit was shown of art metal and wood projects made by the girls both in the regular academic classes and in the extra-curricular groups. Many original and attractive designs have been created by these girls. A small museum of industrial pro- ducts has been set up at the rear of the shop. Informational pamphlets were distributed to explain the various ex- hibits. At the Junior High School the guests were treated to a steak dinner prepared in the metal workship and served in the General Shop. The Wrought Iron Designers of New York City will demon- strate new techniques in art metal craft work at these shops. "The Industrial Arts Department at- tempts ' according to Mr. Samuel Cram- blett, supervisor of Industrial Arts, "to correlate its work with the other aca- demic classes wherever possible. Co- operation is carried out by construction of items such as display panels, book- ends, terrariums, service traps and many other items for the other de- partments of the school. I f a boy de- sires to work up some project based on some History or English class dis- cussion, he is encouraged to do so." Ruth Lowry Is Awarded Scholarship At Cornell Word was recently received that Ruth Lowry, Valedictorian of her class in 1934, has been awarded one of five Sen- ior Scholarships at Cornell University. These are provided by the Federation of Cornell Women's Clubs. These scholarships, each worth $250 for the senior year at Cornell University, are awarded to not more than five members of the Junior Class who are outstanding in scholarship, character, and partici- pation in outside activities. Quoting Principal William P. MerrUl, who received the information from the university, he remarked: "It is a real honor to be chosen for one of these awards and Port Washing- ton may well proud of this additional scholastic honor won by Ruth Lowry." French Society Holds Tea Dance The Port Washington Chapter of "La Societe Honoraire" was host to a tea- dance here Thursday. Members of the society from Baldwin, Preeport, Lyn- brook. East Rockaway, Long Beach, and Port Washington attended. Music was supplied by the Port Swingsters. Victorious Orchestra Class B Champions in National Orchestra Contest Music Department Senior Banquet Held To Present Festival In School Cafeteria Members of Vocal Groups IC. B, Kelland Addresses Will Render Program This evening at 8:15 p. m. the first of two free concerts will be given by the musical organizations of the Port Washington Schools. The concert to- night will be devoted entirely to vocal music and will include the choral groups from all the schools. Next Thursday night. May 27, an instrumental concert will be given by all the instrumental groups of the various schools, including the High School Band and Orchestra. Tonight's concert will begin with se- lections by choruses from each of the grade schools. The vocal organizations from the Junior High School will render the next group of songs, and the pro- gram will be concluded by the Boys' Glee Club, and Choir, from the Senior High School. Thursday's instrumental concert will show in a similar way the gradual de- velopment of music in the schools. Instrumental classes from the grade shools will open the program and followed by Grade School Orchestras and beginners' bands. The Junior High School Band and Orchestra will then play several numbers. As a grand finale the National Championship High School Band and the now National Championship High School Orchestra will each play a selection. On the Friday following the concert May 28, the band will play at the ded- ication of the Frances Hodgson Burnett Memorial Park. The band received and accepted the invitation to play at this occasion shortly after its victory in the State Class A Band Contest earlier this month. Immediately after school on Friday the band, dressed in full uni- form, will leave in buses for Central Park of which the Memorial Park is a part. The ceremonies will then take place and the band will furn'sh ap- propriate music. Among the notables to be present are Mayor V. H. La Guardia of New York, and Mr. August Belmont. Port Athlete Electt.d Captain Mr. Charles Karizia of Charles Street, Port Washington and a graduate of the Port High School, ha. recently been elected captain of tba 1937 Lacrosse Team at New Hampshire University. An athlete of repute while a student at Port Washington, Charles has es- tablished a noteworthy record at vari- ous sports and has also been made a member of several scicieties. He is a member of the Sph-'nx, the Scabbard and Blade, and al^r Sigma Alpha Ep- silon fraternity. Friday's Assembly The assembly r ogram today will be a performance of .he play "Braid and Brass Buttons" ader the direction of Miss Hawthorne, dramatics Instructor. Graduating Students Last Wednesday evening at 6:30 p. m. the Senior Class held its Annual Ban- quet in the Senior High Cafeteria. About 150 seniors and members of the faculty were present both for the amner and the dancing that followed until mid- night. Clarence Budington Kelland, well known author and prominent ciiizen of Port Washington, was the guest speaker for the evening. Mr. Kelland addressed the graduates in an advisory manner, and, amongst other things, quite star- tled his audience by advising them not to attend college. Other speakers included Mr. P. D. Schreiber, Mr. W. F. Merrill, and Mr. R. Predmore, who is the faculty adviser of the class. Several committees under the super- vision of Stanley Smith, president of the class of '37. organized the program. Helen Bott was appointed chairman of the decoration committee; James Rine- hart, of the seating committee; Barb- ara Stimson, of the invitation com- mittee; Dorothy Davenport, of the food committee; Ann Edgar, of the finance committee; and Jack Wilson, of the entertainment committee. The music for the dance that followed the dinner was supplied by Eddie Gunther and his orchestra. Martha Reed Is Elected Phi Beta Kappa Member Martha Reed, an outstanding mem- ber of the class of 1933, who will be long remembered here for her scholastic, dramatics, and athletic achievements, was recently elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa at Barnard College. After Miss Reed was graduated from the Port Washington Senior High School, she entered Barnard College where she has continued her superior work. Mr Merrill recently received a letter from Miss Mary V. Libby, Sec- retary to the Committee on Admissions, from which we quote: "Martha Reed has been a great ad- dition to Barnard College and we are looking forward eagerly to having other such students from Port Washington. She was president of her class in her sophomore year; president of the Undergraduate Association in her senior year, the highest honor any student can hold; and she has been elected a mem- ber of Phi Beta Kappa. She majored in zoology. Martha is an excellent example of the student who can combine great Interest and success in extra-curricular activities with a high academic standing." Highly Superior Rating Awarded Group TOWN GIVES OVATION John J. Floherty Speaks In Public Welcoming At Station Sunday By George A. Keates After receiving a rating of Highly Superior by five judges in the National Orchestra Con- test at Columbus, Ohio, last week, the Port Washington High School orchestra was greeted by the townspeople of Port Washington and given a tremendous ovation similar to the one accorded the Band last year on its return from the Band Contest at Cleveland. Immediately after the orchestra train arrived at the railroad station, the Port Washington High School Band marched out to meet the homecoming victors. The musicians then marched to an en- closure at the rear of the station where a public address system had been set up and where they heard several short speeches. The guest speaker for the afternoon was John J. Floherty, nationally known artist and author, who spoke of the younger generation growing up to run the world which the older folks had made a mess of, and also congratulated the orchestra on its winning the con- test. Speeches were then in order by Mr. P. D. Schreiber, Mr. W. F. Merrill, and finally by Mr. Paul Van Bode- graven, director of the orchestra. Supt. Acclaims Group Mr. Schreiber stated that he was proud of the way the orchestra had conducted itself both in winning the contest and in the conduct of all the members, while Mr Merrill wished to announce that he was proud to be associated with a school system which had such able direction and fine musicians. Mr. Van Bodegraven thanked the people for turning out to welcome the orchestra and stated that he knew that the orchestra had never played any better at any concert or public appear- ance, as it had played on the stage of the Civic Auditorium at Columbus. Climaxing the speeches, the orches- tra members lined up behind the band and marched through the applauding crowds which lined the thoroughfare, down Main Street, around Carleton Avenue, and up Main Street again to the station, where the group dispersed. Enroute 17 Hours The orchestra left Port Washington at 7:28 Thursday morning; and after traveling all day and half the night, they arrived in Columbus. Cabs were taken to the Neil House which was the headquarters of the members for the remainder of the trip, and rooms were assigned to the members. Meetings of the entire group were held at various times during the day so that informa- tion regarding times of contests and solos could be told the members as a group. At approximately four o'clock the orchestra went on the mammoth stage and prepared to play. Mr. Van Bode- graven stepped on the podium and the orchestra began the best program it has ever presented by playing a string suite written by Lully. Then the selected number "Unfinished Symphony", by Schubert, was rendered with the full orchestra. Strauss' "Gypsy Baron" completed that part of the program, and (Continued on Page 4)

Congratulations

It is a real pleasure for me to be able to report to the stu-dents in the Port W a s h i n ^ o n High School that I consider the orchestra trip to Columbus an o u t s t a n d i n g educational achievement. I am more proud than I can express of the hon-ors earned by our musicians. They have brought credit to our school, not only for their musical training, but equally for their character, personality, and training. It is a great sat-isfaction to be told by people from many states that our mus-ical performance is superior. I t is perhaps even more gratifying to be told what a fine group of students we have. Th e home background and the work of the entire faculty is reflected in such praise.

I congratulate Mr. V a n Bode-graven on his splendid w o r k ; I congratulate the musicians on their outstanding achieve-ments; and I congratulate the parents and faculty on the re-sults of their efforts. I am proud to be associated with a com-munity and a school which can provide such opportunities and achieve such results.

There is just one regret that T feel on my return from this trip. T h a t is that the entire student body and faculty could not enjoy it with us. My senti-ments while in Columbus could have been expressed only by sending you al l a message read-i i ig : " H a v i n g a fine time, wish you were here . " Only by being there is it possible to fully ap-preciate the pleasures and va l -ues of such an experience.

Superintendent Schreiber Congratulates Orchestra !

I consider myself priv-leged to have been present at the recent Music Contest at Columbus, Ohio, to wit-ness the performance of our high school orchestra, and to experience the thri l l of deep pride at the signal recognition accorded the members and their leader.

I believe the lasting value of their achievement lies not in the judges' rating alone, because that in time wil l be forgotten. Rather, their suc-cess is a forceful illustration of the truest principles of education, and one by which we may al l be guid-ed : perseverance and per-sistent effort, in any subject, wil l win success.

HOME ROOM HAPPENINQS

I n last week's "Inquiring Repor ter" of the Por t Weekly, a number of seniors were asked whe ther or not they though t t h a t the n in th grade should be encour-aged to a t t end the Jun ior Prom. The great majority of the people interviewed obviously intended to discourage any of us who had any such intent ions. A number of Junior high studes are slightly indignant about the answers received.

I suppose t h a t we could interview a lot of kids of the Jun ior High about the same question, having them pu t "cen-sored, yes" as their replies to make t h e m effective. But we won' t bother. We might also point out t h a t it 's the JUNIOR Prom, t h a t a fish and a half is no t to be kerchooed at, and t h a t the Seniors aren ' t paying to get in any-way. Very few Junior High kids will go any way, what with the r a t h e r hilly price and stuff. The opinion of t h e n in th grade might be summarized in two very expressive words "censored, censored."

Charl ie Cornell and Anton Holmberg did a thriving business wi th their cameras a t the May Pagean t last week. They contracted to take pictures of any of the young ladies in the th ing in costume for a st ipulated fee. They took some a t the rehearsal Tuesday and the rest after the festival was over on Thursday. They really did a swell busi-ness especially of snaps of the May Queen and her a t t endan t s . Some of his customers and the pictures wanted follow: Ber t Schauer wanted a couple of Mary Nicholson and one of Phyllis Warren. Harvey Witheral l h a d one taken of Char lo t te Gril les Bu tch Cramblet also wanted one of Cha r -lotte. May Queen Phyllis War ren too

Bill Ames had film used on Bet ty O'Brien Jack Lordi had them t aken of three of the gals Pau la Read was in demand with Mike Cherry, Charl ie Cipriano, and plenty of others, Eddie Grzejka wanted one of Mary Nichol-son and, oh yes, Ernie Mazur has one of Phyllis War ren . This list is part ial . The firm of Cornell and Holmberg wish it announced t h a t they have duplicates for sale of all these, and other, photos. I t is rumored t h a t they had a commis-sion for one of Miss Mallon ( the n e m e -sis of the Port Jun ior stafif). This r e -por t i:: ut ter ly t rue.

J. Starkweather Writes Essay on Constitution

The Consti tut ion Essay Contest, con-ducted by the New York Times and pa r -ticipated in by Miss Atwater 's 9B's was won by J e a n Starkweather . A variety of titles were given but the winner chose "The Const i tut ion: A Living Doc-u m e n t " which was somewhere specified in one- thousand words. Each school was awarded a first prize of $10.00 and a bronze medal .

Nancy Shakespeare 's essay on "The Powers of the President Under the Const i tu t ion" was a very close rival to the wirmer's but as J e a n S ta rkwea th -er's was done in a somewhat bet ter style Nancy had to be content with honorable mention.

Lunch Room Figures Show Pupils Like Nourishment

A visit to our cafeteria disclosed the fact t h a t the boys and girls of our school dr ink about 96 bottles of milk on clear days and on rainy days, the mob drains from 150 to 200 bottles. I n spite of rumors t h a t bread is de-vastat ing to the figure, about a half dozen long sandwich loaves are done away with each day. About 8 gallons of home made soup and 25 cans of soup flow into empty s tomachs each noon, while canned goods also have a heavy toll. When we get to desserts we see t h a t about four pounds of cook-ies a re consumed and "tons"of ice cream are lapped up as hot weather approach-es. You won't ever be lonely in t h e lunch room. About 300 a t t end on boom days. The average a t tendance from junior high is 125 hungry customers.

P rank Miller was the leading hi t ter of the day with two home runs and three doubles, not to ment ion a single or two.

Behind The Scenes Of A Gay May Festival There was more t h a n appeared on the

surface a t the recent May Festival. For instance no one saw Miss Kinne, Miss Armer, and Miss Far l inger holding the fort in the audi tor ium during the show.

Sally Dusinberre says her knees served the purpose very well. Have you seen the posters t h a t were displayed advertising the affair? J o a n Wright ' s was good. Caroline Dissosway says the pagean t was harder work for the boys t h a n the girls. They had to keep away from the windows during rehearsals . Have you seen the snapshots t aken during r e -hearsals? And did you hear the cheers the girls gave Mrs. Nicoll after the per-formance? We all agreed t h a t she 'd earned them.
