Ellsworth Erb Is Chairman Entire Evening's En-

tertainment

Of

T w o days pr ior to Hallowe'en on October 29. the Seniors w i l l start the social season off by g i v -ing the annual Senior B a l l in the cafeteria. The dance w i l l begin at 8:30 p. m., and the dancing w i l l last u n t i l 12 o'clock.

For the past few weeks the Senior's have been planning and scheming i n order to make the last dance that they w i l l give in this school their best. The moti f for the decorations w i l l probably be the 1939 World's Fair . This type of setting was selected be-cause of the class coincidences w i t h the year of the opening of the New Y o r k World's Fair .

Committees Busy El l sworth Erb is the general

chairman in charge of the whole affair , and he w i l l collaborate w i t h Peggy Stephenson, the class president, M r , Scherer, the facu l -t y advisor, and the various heads of committees under his supervi -sion. Robert Brock heads the decoration committee, Charolette Webber, the refresiunent com-mittee, Mary Roberts, the i n v i t a -t ion committee, Bayard Osborne, the publ ic i ty committee and B u r r M i l l e r , t icket committee.

Orchestra Not Selected The orchestra committee has

not yet selected the orchestra but they are investigating a l l the best orchestras on the island.

Because the preparations for the dance are s t i l l i n their e m -bryonic f o rm as the paper goes to press, definite ideas for the Senior Hal l cannot be stated. There might be a victoria playing d u r -ing the intermissions besides the usual entertainment supplied by ping-pong and other games i n the game room.

Tickets are now being pr inted and w i l l soon be placed on sale by the t icket committee at the price of 1.00 for couples and $1.25 for stag.

Of The Other Activities Planned For Club Year

Work on the 1939 Port L i g h t has been progressing rapid ly f rom the opening of school on Septem-ber 12, and the annual is already w e l l into production. Due to his splendid work as assistant Editor last year and his experience w o r k -ing as News Editor on the Port Weekly. Warren Kunz was ap-pointed Editor by Mr . Scherer. Doris Fenton. who has been B u s i -ness Manager for the Port Weekly for several years and Assistant Business Manager last year for the Port L ight , was chosen Bus i -ness Manager for this year's edition. Richard Johnson and Jack Duff ie ld were chosen Assistant Editor and Assistant Business Manager respectively. Ever i t t Hehn has been appointed Photo-graphy Editor. M r . Scherer, last year's able adviser, w i l l take over the duties of an adviser this year.

The policy of this 1939 Port L ight is to be "less w o r k " , thus making the work for everyone lighter and also giving more s tud-ents a chance to work on the i r year book. The staff hopes that this new policy wiU help to make the book t r u l y a student's annual.

Since the beginning of the new term, Mr . Scherer and the staff have been going over and making necessary changes on the book's layout that was made up by W a r -ren Kunz dur ing the summer months. The new Port Light is to be a modern book w i t h digni f ied lines.

A meeting was held on Tuesday, October 4, in Room 102 for a l l those interested in w o r k i n g on the staff. Forty-seven people were present at that meeting. From this group, the remainder of the staff w i l l be chosen, and their names w i l l be published w i t h i n a month.

M r , Gui l lo , photographer for last year's annual, was chosen to do the work for this year's edition. His contract was signed dur ing the week. So far, several companies have submitted their bids for pr int ing the 1939 issue.

Plans are w e l l under way for the ways and means of earning the necessary funds for the p u b l i -cation. The f irst of these w i l l be the f a l l play, to be held early i n December.

The Staff of the 1939 Port L i g h t sincerely hopes to produce the best book ever published by the ienior high school.

New Members T o Be Elected To Circle Soon

The Circle, the honorary society of the school w i l l get under way very soon. There are only eight members at the present t ime, so a meeting w i l l be held very soon to appoint a committee to elect new members.

This committee w i l l examine the records of various promising students and w i l l then recommend the ones they have chosen to Miss Bortz and M r . M e r r i l l , the faculty advisors. Other requirements for entrance are outstanding p ar t i c i -pation in extra-curr icular a c t i v i -ties and admirable personal q u a l i -fies.

Paper Campaign Not Succeeding

Lack Of Shtdent Interest May Spell Downfcdl

A t this t ime the Port Weekly Staff expected and hoped to thank the student body for their co-operation in the Port Weekly's w ide ly -known campaign. Due to the lack of enthusiasm and back-ing of the students, the campaign has not succeeded in f inancial means. This lack of funds has been largely due to your neglect and appreciation of the finest p r o -ject i n this school — The Port Weekly.

The Port Weekly staff lias made every effort to make this paper one that is both educational and interesting for every one of its readers. Their experience, knowledge, and abi l i ty i n the newspaper line forms one of the best school papers in the nation.

New Installment Plan

The students have been given ample time and every opportunity to purchase a Port Weekly sub-scription. The campaign got under way on September 22nd and this is now the end of the t h i r d week in this dr ive . The price of this superb paper is but ninety cents, yet this slight sum is not coming into the hands of the various home room representatives. There is a representative i n every home-room and i f you are unable to meet this amount i n one payment, pay by the convenient installment plan. There is no need for any embarrassment i n this transac-tion for the representatives are most w i l l i n g and understanding.

There are approximately six (Continued on Page 4)

Moral Victory

They ' r e of f ! T h a t is the c r y of the crowd, as the contestants in a race set out for the i r goal. T h e contest may be of horses, dogs, men, or .sailboats. Who, or what , is r ac ing , however, does not matter , but w h a t rea l ly counts is the k ind of show ing the ind iv idua l makes . I t is not only the w i n n e r s who deserve c red i t and pra ise , but also the runner -ups who have done thei r best and fought ad -mi rab ly .

H i g h school education might be considered a type of competition in w h i c h every student is a pa r t i c ipant . E a c h one should be s t r i v i n g for the best grades and the most en joyment f rom his courses. O f course everyone wi l l not receive the honor m a r k s and other r ewards for ex t r a - cu r -r i cu l a r ac t i v i t i e s ; but i f a student has put forth h is best effort and has produced the best wo rk of w h i c h he is capable, he should be commended.

I f you a re not the person who receives the laure ls , a t least t r y to be the one who is g iven wor thy c r i t i c i sm . I f you do so, spectators f rom the s idel ines w i l l notice you as one who can ' t be beaten i n sp i r i t , a lthough he does not come in f i r s t .

Counc i l Met O n Tuesday ; P lanned New E lect ions

The Port Junior subscription campaign is going down the last stretch with Miss O'Malley's homeroom, 203, tied i'or first place with Miss Atwater's homeroom, 217. Both rooms have twenty-three subscriptions and the probability �� that both have more as the paper goes to press.

M a r y L o u i s e Te ta has ga ined •wmr i n r o con f idence o f one o u t s i d e r

Why Fay Lessr B y R U T H C H O L L

Many of the students of our Junior High School won-der why we should pay the same price for the paper as Senior High. Why should we pay as much for one page as the Senior High students pay for three?

Both schools have approx-imately two hundred fifty fifty cent subscriptions each term. This equals $250.00 a year from each school. To issue a paper it costs almost one thousand dollars a year! Where does the rest come from? Advertising. Al l ad-vertising work is done by the Senior High Staff.

The staff members on the Senior High paper are older, they are able to write better, and there are more club ac-tivities in the Senior High to write about. The Senior High staff has much more material and better material to fill three pages.

Rather than filU two pages with nonsense, it's a much better policy to have one page of comparatively good material well written. The policy of our paper is to se-lect the best contributions handed in and print them.

Finally, you'll all be in Senior High eventually and the page you miss now, you'll get when you're up there. You'll have something to look forward to. The paper should be thought of as a product of Port Washington Schools, not as a bone of contention between Junior and Senior High School.

Fire Prevention Assembly Topic

Last Tuesday morning classes were shortened to allow t ime tor a Fire Prevention Assembly under the direction of Captain Be l l , an instructor in the Nassau County School for Fireman.

Since this past week has been put aside to promote f i re preven-t i on , the theme of his ta lk was on this subject. He informed us of the great number of tires caused by uneducated and careless people, and the way i n which to reduce them. I n addit ion, he instructed us i n the importance of knowing what to do at the r ight time, of keeping cool, and of taking ad-vantage of the opportunities of-fered to us to learn this.

Carelessness is one of the main factors i n causing fires. People who throw down l ighted cigarettes or matches, wi thout f i rs t looking to see If they are out, people who do not keep their electrical a p p l i -ances and w i r i n g in good condi -t ion a l l come under this class.

He also stated that now since there is the opportunity to educ-ate people on this subject dur ing f i re prevention week, we should a l l do our best to make use of i t and see that others do too.

Clio Plans Trip (Continued f rom Page 1)

ter-Class debates have been planned and an Interscholastic Forum at Oyster Bay w i l l be attended by members of the Clio Club dur ing the 1938-1938 season.

The Clio is now selling tickets to a recital to be given by Faye H . Deming i n Town H a l l , New Y o r k City , on October 15. A l -though this is not a school aSair, the c lub w i l l receive toward the t r i p fund half the proceeds of a l l the tickets sold.

Social activities for the club members w i l l be s imilar to those of last year.

The new members have not as yet been decided upon but oul of f or ty applicants approximately twenty-one w i l l be admitted by next week.

Paper Campaign (Continued from Page 1)

hundred people i n the Port Wash-ington High School and only two hundred and sixty subscriptions have been received. Twenty - f ive per cent of these are half year subscriptions. The returns tor

these embarrassingly few sub-scriptions are one hundred and eighty-three dollars. This w i l l scarcely cover the expense of p r i n t i n g the paper. The price of each single copy is t h i r t y - f i v e d o l -lars. Our goal one thousand d o l -lars, w i l l easily be consumed after the publication of our year's i s -sues.

The Port Weekly members, after consideration on the stud-ents' part, decided to r u n the campaign two more days. H o w -ever, on Monday 17th the names of the two lucky subscribers w i l l be drawn from the hat on the stage in our auditor ium. This is absolutely your last chance to subscribe. The staff sincerely hopes that the paper won't have to be discontinued through lack of spir i t for the Port Weekly,

THE PORT WEEKLY

IT PAYS

S P O R T S By A L A N GOULD

Thr, v ictory our husky eleven achieved last Saturday was not one to be proud of. but I t was very rellevlnir. We refer, of course, to the moral victory we can claim through having made a touch-down, our f irst i n two years.

A series of passes from Bob Clark to Andy Jsason. B i l l Ef -fertz, and f ina l ly the al) important one to K e n Iverson gave us those six unfami l iar points.

• k »

I n the last minute meeting be-fore the game, the veterans of the Gee an side game elected Ernie Tonsmiere to captain them through the remainder of the cam-paign. Ernie celebrated by p lay-ing a hangup game at guard w i t h Charlie Neulist as his running mate. The only way Hicksvi l le could gain at the middle of our line was to dive over the top (which they d id for one touch-down) .

a • •

Aside f rom the fact that made a touchdown, the most en-couraging th ing the game pro-duced was the effeictiveness of Port offense. We rol led up fifteen first downs more than twice as many as Hicksvi l le . The passing attack especially, looked potent. I n addition to the many that con-neicted, several just barely missed, two of which would have meant touchdowns.

>• • * B i l l Effertz and Joe Biro carried

the brunt of our running attack. They didn't break away tor any long gains, but ripped off quite a few f i rs t downs.

* • * Here are the results of some

games that should be interesting to a l l of us.

Great Neck. 13; Glen Cove 0. MIneula, 6; Farmlngdale, 6. Oceanside, 14; Lynbrooh. 6. H i v t o s tX bisl broken the j t m t ,

we can now look forward to the Farmingdale game tomorrow w i t h something resembling: optimism.

By N A N C Y G A I G N A T The tennis matches are s t i l l

progressing very slowly. The re -sults of the few games whi ch have been played fol low. M i l Lang emerged victorious f rom the match played w i t h Irene Hope, the score being 6—1, 6—2. whi le A . Reardon bowed to Anne Ross w i t h a score of 6—0. 6—0. N , Shakespeare came out on top in her match w i t h A . Crawley, but the scores were not posted.

The f irst cut of the hockey squad has been made, and equip-ment was handed out on Tues-day, when practice was held. The girls were unable to hold practice on Monday because Miss Mahar was referee at the Farmingdale, Oyster Bay game. A few of the gir ls who wished to, accompanied her on the t r i p . I t is h igh ly bene-f ic ia l for the gir ls to attend games between other teams, for they very often are able to develope t r i c k y plays by watching others play.

The gir ls are looking forward w i t h great enthusiasm to the f irst game of the season, which w i l l be held at Oyster Bay on October Tth. They are anxious to uphold their record of last year. This year the hockey team w i l l play an entirely new team, that of Adelphl Academy at Brooklyn . Since our team has to meet its adversaries on their t err i tory , the gir ls w i l l be excused earlier than usual f r om their afternoon classes. This game w i l l be played sometime i n the latter part of October.

Soccer practice was held on Monday of this week, and f rom the good-sized group wh i ch at -tended, i t appears that the interest of the gir ls has not waned as yet. The squad was to have been chosen some time during the past week; however as we go to press, we do not know whether i t has been or not. The f i rs t game w i l l be played between the f i r s t and second teams on October 18th, and on October 19th, our team w i l l t ravel to Ba ldwin to compete w i t h its team.

C a m e r a Club Wi l l Elect Officers Next Meeting

The Safety Club organized last f a l l under the direction of M r . Dodds, promises to become one of the year's liveliest clubs.

Its purpose, that of teaching its members the theories, operation, manipulation, and parts of the car should be of interest to a l l those who desire to dr ive .

The Club is composed of i n i t i a l drivers and future drivers. The meetings held on Tuesday, d i rect -l y after the close of the sixth period are both interesting and educational. This year i t is hoped that guest speakers may hs p ro -cured is that the older members who have had more experience help instruct the newer ones.

The newly elected officers are: Frank Jost. Present; Pat T u r r i l l , Vice-President; Edythe Thomp-son, Secretary.

Port Defeated (Continued f rom Page 1)

Ear ly i n the t h i r d quarter, Port started another sustained drive on hard running by Effertz and on passes, Clark to Harsh-barger and Clark to Effertz. However, w i t h first down and eight yards to go for a touch-down. Port again failed i n the shadows of the goal post. Early in the fourth quarter, Hicksvi l le scored another field goal, and then immediately went for a n -other touchdown.

Late in the fourth quarter, w i t h the minutes t i ck ing away, Port's offense again started to click. Runs by Effertz and Biro , and passes w i t h Clark on the throwing end, and Jessen, Harsh-barger and Iverson on the re -ceiving end, put the ball on the ten yard l ine . Then Iverson brought the Port supporters to their feet when he caught Clark's flat pass in the end zone. The t r y for the point after the touch-down failed.

A deep reverse on which the Port ends w e r e continually sucked in was the play which set up most of Hicksvil le 's touch-downs. The stars for Hicksvi l le were Englebretson, who scored two touchdowns, and Yartozkey, who scored a touchdown and

kicked two field goals. Bob Clark's passing, k i ck ing ,

and severe tackl ing stood out for Port, as did the running of B i ro and Effertz. The backfield, which played the second half, and which was composed of Clark, Iverson, Biro , and Effertz, looked very good. Harshbarger and Jessen, the ends who played the second half, proved excel-lent at snatching passes. Johann-sen and Tonsmiere, the captain, stood out among the l ine men. I t is interesting to note that Port made 15 f i rs t downs to H i c k s -ville 's 7.

Now that the blue and whi te have broken the ice, Port sup-porters can look forward w i t h hope to the remaining football games.

Buddy McQuade a Frenchman was relat ing his experience of studying the English language. He said;

"When I f irst discovered that i f I was quick, I was fast, that i f I was tied, I was fast, that i f I spent too freely. I was fast and that not to eat was to fast, I was discouraged. B u t when I came across the sentence, "The f irst one won one one dollar prize,' I gave up t r y i n g to learn the English language."

There seem to be s e v e r a l m e m -bers of the Port Weekly staff who are not showing up Monday and Tuesday afternoons and at the regular assignment meetings Thursday noons at 12:45. Maybe the reason is that they don't know that they are on the staff. I f this is the case, a l ist w i l l be placed on the bul let in board.

Even so, the staff is short and i f you are at a l l interested in journal ism, there are several fields open to you in the staff. I f you are a good English s t u -(lent, the copy desk is the place for you. I t you are business-minded, the advertising and bus-iness staff should interest you. I f y o u wou l d l i k e to represent the band i n your school paper, there is the musical staff. I f you have the yen ' to cover sports events, w h y not t r y out for the sports staff?

Come down to the assignment meeting next Thursday and see how the Port Weekly runs.

ent came f o r t h w i t h the fo l lowing . I t is not surpris ing that the i n -strutor read i t to the class:

" I say, B i l l i e , here's a go. Forty busses i n a row." "No, " says Mary , "they be

t rucks . " "What's in 'em? "Packs of

ducks,"

"Don't open your mouth so wide , " said the dentist. " I ' m gging to stand outside."

L i t t l e Wi l l i e (to the old lady who has just arr ived , and whom he has never seen before) : "So you're my grandmother, are you?"

Old lady: "Yes, on your father's side."

W i l l i e : " W e l l , you 're on the wrong side; T i l tell you that r i ght now."
