OUR BE5T TO Y O U By Mary H. Brodie

To the Students and Teachers Of the Senior High School:

W i t h the whole w o r l d at w a r , It seems h a r d to think

of a C h r i s t m a s season w i t h the usual enthusiasm. I t seems

almost as if we could not even honestly exchange the usual

good wishes for C h r i s t m a s .

A s I outlined in the brief message I sent out to you

at T h a n k s g i v i n g time, we have a great deal for w h i c h

we can be thankful . A s A m e r i c a n s we have been most

fortunate and have a great opportunity to serve

humanity both in the present and the future.

I f we have a rea l izat io n of our privi leges and oppor-

tunities and are truly thankful for the right to serve, we

can look out over a w o r l d steeped in w a r and catch a

vision of the better w o r l d ahead , w h e n the principles of

the P r i n c e of Peace shal l t r i u m p h and shal l be adopted

by m a n k i n d as the basis for everyday l iv ing .

I t is my hope that each of you m a y have a C h r i s t m a s

that is filled with joy and peace and that the y e a r that lies

a h e a d m a y prove to be one in w h i c h you w i l l accept every

opportunity to serve your fellow m a n , and so find true

happiness . A n d so I find mysel f closing by saying after a l l :

M e r r v C h r i s t m a s and a v e r y H a p p y N e w Y e a r to each

and all of you .

W . F . M E R I L L .

By B O B A I T K E N As evidenced by the past few

weeks, the sale of War Stamps' has been inaugurated as a daily routine during lunch periods. This project was brought about i n compliance w i t h the suggestion of the Nassau County War Bond Committee, who requested that the student government assume the responsibilities connected w i t h the sale of War Stamps to high school students.

Tlie student council has made definite pleas regarding the pro-motion of the sale after Chr is t -mas vacation. There has been no wide publicity or stress so far be-cause of the nearness of Christ -mas. However, the sales w i l l continue as usual and the supply of War Stamps is ample to cover the remaining days u n t i l Christ -mas. Also, savings booklets i n which l^ie stamps may be placed are now available for a l l upon request.

Drive On A f ter Xmas After Christmas vacation, the

drive w i l l be opened on a large scale. Act ing upon the sugges-tion of Mrs. Corson, the council had a quantity of pledges pr inted for distribution after Christmas. The purpose of these is twofold: They w i l l give everyone the op-portunity to declare their coopera-tion and to state how much each wished to pledge; they w i l l give the council definite figures w i t h which to make certain that there is an adequate supply of stamps and booklets on hand. I n addi-t ion to this, the council w i l l make a weekly report of the sales w i l l be made i n the f o rm of a large poster, which w i l l contain the the pledged amount, the pur-chased amount, and the up-to-date to ta l .

Thus, the plans are made and the preparations are complete. The success of the drive depends solely upon the cooperation of the student body.

Mrs . James F. Thomas (former-

ly Miss Sabeth M i x ) , teacher of

Music in the public schools, has

departed for the West to jo in her

husband, who is in the service. Her work w i l l be taken over

here by Mrs . Andrew Lewis ( for-merly Miss L i l l i a n Legro) who w i l l do the grade school music

work. Mrs . Lewis w i l l be remem-bered by many Port Washington students as the teacher here for a number of years pr ior to her mar -riage. The Junior and Senior High School orchestra work w i l l be un -der the direction of Mr . Cordvan, teacher of instrumental music.

C hrisfm as, a T im e of Joyous T id ings

E v e r y year at C h r i s t i n a s , our thoughts turn to joy and

merr iment , for C h r i s t m a s is a time of giving to others. W e

the people of the U n i t e d States should be more thankful this

year than any other year . A t C h r i s t m a s time, the U n i t e d

States is at w a r , a w a r to end al l w a r s if it is at a l l possible.

C h r i s t m a s is not only a time of giving, but it is also a time

for p r a y e r , p r a y er for a quick and a just peace. T h e students

as wel l as the adults have much to be thankful for. O u r coun-

try, even though it is in the w a r , is the only country in the

w o r l d where one can say and do w h a t he pleases. W h e n

C h r i s t m a s arr ives this year , we should not only open our

gifts and show merriment , but we should also give a little

p r a y e r to those of our boys on the fronts who are fighting

to keep us a free nation.

Mulligan Stew

Morale in a D e m ocracy

T h e r e is a great difference between doing something

simply because it must be done, and doing it w i t h a w i l l , for

a part icular purpose. Since the wi l l to give cannot be forced,

good morale is essentially a democratic attitude, no matter

what f o r m of government a person lives under .

I n a democracy the people are not compelled to go in

the direction that their leaders want them to go. T h e y say

" w e , the p e o p l e , " not " h e , the l e a d e r , " or " i t , the s t a t e , " in

r e f e r r i n g to the author of action taken by the nation as a

v.hole. G o o d morale finds itself most truly at home in the

minds and spirits of the citizens o f a democracy , for it, too,

is free.

6B Class Has Food Display

T H E P O R T W E E K L Y w o u l d like to congratulate M r s .

S t a n n a r d and her 6 B class on the exquisite food display

they held in the cafeteria last week.

T h e exhibit explained the necessary daily requirements

( v i t a m i n , etc . ) for the average person.

T h e requirements were shown in an unusual and in-

teresting way . T h e dai ly apple was shown in the f o r m of

a Santa C l a u s . A n orange was in the f o r m of a kitten w i t h

m a r s h m a l l o w s as feet and toothpicks as w h i s k e r s .

A l o n g with the actual food display, there were il lus-

trated notebooks entitled " N u t r i t i o n . "

High lights of the past two weeks were many, but among the most outstanding were—the show, "June Mad," and the Hen-Hop.

"Doc's" pep talk and preview of the play in the last assembly brought about some surprising results insofar as the couples that attended the play were concerned.

Among those present were: Trez Thompson and Ruth Lee Seaman; Carol Bullis and Ches-sie Rice; Joanie Evans and Les Keates; Annie Moshier and Red Van der Voort ; Wolf Larsen and Mary Helen Brodie; Suzy Trondle and M . Walker ; Jolene Head and Jimmie L o r d i ; and Alex Brodie with—Barb'ara Caffrey. . . .

However, these were not the only ones to enjoy the dancing afterwards, since Zoe Branch and Tommy Whitcomb, Jackie Moody, Dickie Bohn and Gloria Lingren were also seen harking to the music of "Hot L i c k s " Jim Bral -la's swell band. Those fellows certainly deserve lots of encour-agement since they did a swell job. In fact' let's hear more of their stulf next time, and more often, too!:: :

(What were Jolene and Sassie surveying out i n the hal l the other day??? You te l l me!!)

The Hens certainly hopped to it when it came to dragging a rooster to the Hop last week, and the G. O. realized quite a tidy profit on their shindig. Those "brave" gals who flashed their G. O. tickets were: Marie Duryea with Dave Ahearn; Bunty Hegar-ty and George Wilkenson; Cili Marzo an'd Carl Lord; Carol Bul -lis with—Dick Perley; Dot Nel-son and Jimmy Lordi.

'June Mad; Play Is Big Success

I n a play that was shock f u l l of laughs, sighs, and tears, the Red Domino staged their annual Fa l l production last Friday. The lead was handled, superbly, by Antoinette Eyr ich who played Penny, a ro l l that isn't an easy job for a high school student. Some of the scenes that Miss E y -rich had to portray wore very emo-tional, but she carried them off w i t h the assurance of a profes-sional actress. Hats off to A n -toinette for a superb performance. And while doffing our chapeaux, let's include Mary Hacker who played Penny's mother w i t h con-vincing sincerity, along w i t h Dick Perley who played the doctor in a surprisingly creditable fashion.

One of the finest performances of the evening was given by M a r y Jane Smith who depicted M i l l y Lou, a l i t t l e brat_ i f we ever saw one. She made the audience rock w i t h laughter. The best minor bit of the show must be credited to B i l l y Peper always singing "Rock of Ages" who played the eccentric handyman of Dr . Woods home. He very nearly stole the show whenever his lanky figure emerged from the wings onto the stage, and he was on the "boards" far too l i t t l e to suit many in the audience.

"Red" Vandervort did a splen-did job as "Chuck" a likeable young suitor of Penny's. He was quite natural and convincing and made us believe in his character. Incidentally, Red has a splendid voice and i t resounded throughout the auditorium. One scene in particular wherein Penny tries to get some money from Chuck, is a howl. Red's embarrassment as Penny uses her wiles and charms produced howls of amusement.

Bullis, Excellent "Mervyn" Ned Bullis as Mervyn was ex-

cellent and so was Dick Clark who played Roger Van Bleck. Ned's annoyance at M i l l y Lou was a humorous portrayal and we felt as sorry for " M e r v y n " as he was sorry for himself. Dick Clark's voice is a mellow baritone—that should be cultivated w i t h a plow.

Other fine portrayals were turned in by Purdy_ Alden Day, Hugh Montgomery, and Viv ian Briethaupt.

"June M a d " is not a great play. I t isn 't an "Our T o w n " or a "George Washington Slept Here." B u t what i t lacked in dramatic content, i t made up in exciting character portrayal . I t was one of the best Red Domino produc-t i ! o n f rom this standpoint that we have seen in many seasons.

Airplane Spotters Needed "Airplane spotting is among the first w a r duties approved for

members of the new High School Victory Corps. The First Fighter Commaiid of the United States A r m y has advised that boys and girls of the older high school group have done efficient work as volunteer observers in manning observation posts in the aircraft warning service." The above statement is taken from an address by Dr . George D. Stoddard, Commissioner of Education for the State of New York.

We i n Port Washington have been fortunate in having so many adults available for airplane spotting. This number, how-ever, is rapidly decreasing. This is due pr imari ly to army enlist-ments, demands by Selective Service, and the many civilians who are entering war production work.

We need boys and girls over 16 years of age and older who are w i l l i n g to devote three hours a week as their contribution to the war effort. There is an urgent need for maintaining a constant supply of observers, according to the Fistt Fighter Command, which describes the service as the State's first line of defense. I f there are any boys or girls in this high school, 16 years of age or older, who are w i l l i n g to assist in this endeavor, please com-municate w i t h me at your earliest convenience. We want and need boys and girls who are wi l l ing to come out in the cold weather, and who can follow directions.

Goodbye , Miss Sannmis, Hello. Miss Duffy

By M A R I * > N : ^ O G L E T H O P E

We, the girls of the Celerity are very unhappy to see our ad-visor. Miss Sammis leave us. She has done a great deal to make the Celerity and Jr. Red Cross a success; and each g i r l appreciates her loyal friendship.

We wish to welcome Miss Duffy, who we elected as our new fac-u l ty advisor. We are sure she w i l l do al l in her power to help the Celerity continue its work successfully.

Well , Hello Miss Duffy and Goodgy Miss Sammis.

The Celerity finally got off its Christmas stockings and the members wish to thank al l of the home rooms for their generous response. The veterans w i l l ap-preciate them we are sure.

Your help and cooperation is much appreciated by al l the Ce-l e r i ty members.

Local Hepcafs Give A 'June Mad' Dance

Did you hear the local hepcats give out at the dance after the play last December 11? The five, under the t i t l e of the Port High Swingtet, were really in the groove as they gave out w i t h some of the latest h i t tunes, which i n -cluded. Cow, Cow, Boogie, Idaho, and American Patrol .

The band under the manage-ment of Jimmie Bral la , includes Babe Imperial , h i t t ing the t r u m -pet, Hugh Montgomery, plowing his old sax, Eddie Anderson, pounding the piano. B i l l H e w i t t on the Clarinet, and Jimmie Bral la mastering the skins (alias the drums). The group made quite a h i t , and probably w i l l be heard quite often f rom now on.

The G. O. is very disappointed w i t h the war stamp sales. D u r -ing the first week the sales amounted to only $11.00.

Girls' Sports By CAROL, NEUMANN

Have you been in an alley late-ly? Ahem! I mean a bowling al-ley, of course. Did you see those delicate females throwing the ball?

The latest scores are: Barbara Somerville, 120; Carolyn Rogers, 156; Fran Kiernan, 138; Ruth Lee Seaman, 138; Ruth Bard, 137; Joan Borer, 128; and our own Miss Buckley, 113.

There were many other high scorers so you boys must admit that they are good.

Any girl interested in bowling can go down with the rest of the group on Monday and Friday af-ternoons. (There is a reduced price so I expect all Scotchwomen there.)

The Volley Ball teams have not yet been chosen so there is a chance for all. There are several games scheduled but the main one Is with Mineola.

This is a traditional fight at which the score is usually tied. A first and second team wUl jour-ney to Mineola to defend the good name (?) of our school.

Mrs. Dandrich has requested that any girl with Hockey equip-ment stUl in her possession would please return it. Thank you.

the French Club on December 1. Les Faux Pas does not plan any social activities over the Christ-mas holidays due to the war situ-ation.

'Gone Wi+ii the Wind" Is Library Winner

Do you remember when you voted for your favorite book a few weeks ago? According to reports from all sides "Gone With the Wind" was the school's fa-vorite. Some of those rated clo!se as school favorites were, "Three Musketeerss," "Captain Blood," "The Moon is Down,"' "Jamaica Inn," "Tom Sawyer," "Little Wo-men," "Berlin Diary," and "North West Passage."

Some collections of books were exhibited in the library. Among them were those of Marcia Li-ciecki. Patsy Louis, lean Ruppert and the winner, Dick Clark.

One of the most outstanding points about Dick's books was that they were all small pocket-book editions (paper covered).

That proves that you can buy ab copy of your favorite book for a small simount and to top it all, carry it around in your pocket.

The Port basketball team upset by Roslyn 45-21 even after get-ting off to a nice start. In this game Coach Costello employed a two-team system which worked very effectively. Both fives had a long rest period before they went into the game, thus making them cooler and fresher. All boys on the squad saw action as the sec-ond team triumphed 26-6.

Last Friday night, though, the score was re\-ersed with Port on the losing end, Seacllft's veteran combination gave our lads a 30-20 setback. After Seacliff used a man-to-man ...defense ...they ...out-played and out-scored Port

Last Wednesday Port played host to Adelphi for its annual pre-season game with the acad-emy. Port went into the game with one victory and one defeat. This was the first game of the year and a victory was expected.

The two combinations which Costello has been using lately con-sist of: Indence, Veit, Goldscher, Zeidel and Gullet and the others:

I Aitken, Zwerlein, Nakelski, Mitch-el and Mesch. Both outfits a i equally effective and nearly have identical records.

A few weeks ago the football squad had its annual dinner. Af-ter Coaches Costello and Ryeck were feted with gifts from the varsity and junior varsity respec-tively, and the fellows really had a swell time. Among the boys who received their varsity letters, were Nakelski, Johnson, Nogal, Poole, Forgione, Procelli, Veit, Hill, Drake, Contino Mesch, Frost, Denzel, Dickson. Many others re-ceived J. V. letters.

In the recent All-Scholastic squad chosen by Nassau County Coaches, the South Shore high schools in the county practically dominated the selections. Cole-man of Hicksville was the only North Shore player who made the first team. . Great Neck placed two players on second squad while Port and Glen Cove players both received honorable mention. Chet Nakelski drew an honorable men-tion from the judges.
