The Port Weekly Happy Vacation Vol. XII, No. 32. Port Washington Senior High School, Friday, June 12, 1936 Price: Five Cents Sports Dinner Held Monday Everett Morris, Martha But- lar Speakers A large crowd of 150 attended the Sports Banquet in the school cafeteria last Monday night. The main speak- ers of the evening were Mr. Everett Morris of the Herald Tribune and Mlss Martha Butlaj, President of the New York Women's LaCrosse Association. Khe other speakers were Mr. Carl See- ber, Mr. Leo Costello, Mr. Kenneth Brown and Mr. Paul Schreiber. Miss Irene Maher was present for the first time at the Sports Banquet in her cap- acity as Girls' Athletic Instructor. To vary the usual procedure, Mr. Schreiber spoke previous to the meal in order that he might leave early to attend a board meeting. His speech was very brief as he only took time to greet the unusually large turnout and to say that he hoped as large a gathering would be assembled next year. After dinner, the business of the evening began. Mr. Seeber, as toast- master, introduced Miss Maher, who expressed her appreciation of the girls' co-operation very briefly. She ac- knowledged the difficulties she had en- countered and the success with which they had been overcome. Miss Maher then introduced the managers and captains of the various teams in seasonal order . and in turn the captains introduced the various mem- bers of each team. Miss Martha Butlar, as the girls' speaker, spoke in detail of the organ- ization of Lacrosse in the United States in comparison with England. The speaker was emphatic in her praise of tlh,e game and said that she expects Lacrosse to become as popular in the United States as it Is in Great Britain. As the evening progressed, the same principle was employed by the boys. Mr. Seeber presented each coach and each coach presented the managers and captains who followed the same pro- cedure as the girls. The boys' speaker. Mr. Everett Mor- ris, used basketball as his subject. Mr. Morris is the basketball expert for the Herald Tribune. He discussed tjie dif- ference in rules in different parts of the country. Each of the coaches received pres- ents. Miss Maher was presented with a lapel watch, Mr. Brown with a cig- arette Ughter, Mr. iCostello with a gold chain and knife, and Mr. Seeber was the reciprocant of a belt, tie and collar clasp contained in an ash tray. 0 High School Students Act In "Port Pranks" The Masonic show, under the di- rection of Mr. W. F. Baker, was held in the hig h school auditorium on June 5th and 6th. The show was a decided success with a large audience attending iboth nights.

ANNOUNCES NEW RATING PLAN William F, Merrill, Principal Many Essays Submitted By Seniors In Contest The essay contest sponsored by Mr H. B. Le Quatte of (Port Washington has closed. This contest, limited to the memibers of the Senior Class, was Ireld with the viewpoint that one should plan for his future early in life. The subject of the essay, "Wlhat I Expect to be in 1946 and How I Expect to Reach that Goal," was chosen by Mr. Le Quatte to encourage young people to follow this advice. The winner of the $10 prize will be de- cided by Mr. Le Quatte, Mr. Dimmick, and 'Mr. Lyons. The eight best essays have already been sent to Mr. Le Quatte, but the final winner has not yet Ibeen picked. 0 Students Organize Commercial Club The first meeting of the newly or- ganized Commercial Club was held Tuesday, June 2. The officers who have been elected for next year are Jessie Bonczek, president; Florence Whyte, vice-president; Susan Whyte, secretary; and Helen Mahoney, treas- urer. A charter is now being drawn up and as soon as the requirements for membership have been definitely decided upon those pupils who are eligible will be invited to join. The club will make field trips next fall So that the members will be able to see how some of the large corpora- tions are managed. New Report Cards Will Be Issued Next Semester Mr. Merrill Announces New Meth- od Of Rating Students At a recent meeting of the Senior High School faculty, Mr. William F. Merrill, principal, presented for final discussion and approval the report of the teacher committee on revision o(f the report cards, which for some time have been considered otosolete and inadequate. After discussing at length the various phases of the new system, the teachers adopted unanimously a card which will 'become effective in Ssptemfoer. The abrupt departure from rating students numerically for mastery of subject matter is an interesting feat- ure of the adapted card. During the past several months, the committe* headed by Miss Stierle, has carried on a program of research; sample re- port cards were considered from all parts of the country. After careful study, the teachers group drew up a proposed revision of the present card for criticism by the administrative au- thorities and teachers. Working upon the theory that education should ibe a liife situation, the committee finally arrived at the conclusion that stu- dents do either satisfactory or unsat- isfactory work. There are the few efficient students who do honor work; and there are those whose attitudes and habits are deficient. These ideas are incorporated in the new card as the report to parents. On the front of the adapted card there will appear. In addition to the usual information concerning the home room, grade, units earned to date and the address of the pupil, a complete list of the subjects taken by the individual student. Beside each of these the subject teacher will place in both the subject mastery column and in the attitude column an "H" indicating that work or attitude has been on an honor level (superior rat- ing), or an "S" indicating that work or attitude has been on a satisfactory level. T h e " U " rating when given will indicate to parents that work or atti- tude has been on an unsatisfactory level. This last grade wiU not be suf- ficient for college entrance. On the reverse side of the card will appear the foHowing explanation with slight modificationB: (Continued on Fa^ 4) Class Of '36 Is Graduated Recent Graduates To Be Guest Speakers The class of 1936 will be graduated on the evening of June 22 in the Senior High School Auditorium at 8:30. This year's exercises, which will graduate the largest graduating class in the his- tory of (he school are to be entirely unique in that there will be no feature speaker. Instead five talks will be deliv- ered by comparitively recent graduates from the Port Washington School. Barbara Stimson and Marjorie Wheeler will lead the procession of seniors into the auditorium while the High School Orchestra plays "Pomp and Circumstance" by Elgar. Herbert W. Irwin, President of the Beard of Education, is to present the diplomas to all who are graduating. Miss Eloise Jenkins, Valedictorian of tjh,e large graduating class, will de- liver the valedictory address. Miss Anna Romeyko will give the salvtatory address. Admission Secttred By PaSses Admission, as has been customary in previous years, will be secured only through passes given to the members of the Senior class. Each member of the graduating class will be presented with these tickets for their guests. The auditorium has been filled to its capacity in past years. A reception wUl be held In the cafeteria immedi- ately after the exercises for tihe parents and friends of the graduates. The exercises for commencement night of 1936 as voted by the senior class members, will consist of five talks. The discussions will consist of the speakers impressions on and shortly after grad- uation, and the many surprises which they were forced to experience as they left high scfhool and moved on to col- lege or the business world. A varied group of graduates was selected in order to make their experiences and ob- servations include as wide a field for the graduates to observe as possible. The speakers will include : Christine Eato, 1932; Connie Cald- well 1932; Goodhue Cleveland, 1934; Woodman Scandalbury, 1930; and Al- bert Trussell, 1935. Scholarships Will Be Awarded This years commencement is being planned to demonstrate the relation- ship of school life to what the grad- uate oomes in contact after graduation. Those who planned t^iis year's exer- cises did so with the definite idea that commencent should be of lasting value to the community, not merely a time (Continned on Page 4) Band Closes Season At The Polo Benefit The HigOi School Band closed its season by accepting an invitation to play at the Benefit Polo Match at Sands Point.

I n Resume

rr IS Wrm a feeling of regret that we fa«e the termination of this school year. However, there is much satis-faction in the knowledge that i t has been a successful one. The various sports were carried along on a wave of enlfousiasm and received the fuU sup-port of the school. Although not every game played was a victory for one of our teams, the spirit which accom-panied each game deserves admiration.

The Dramatics Department also suc-ceeded in all of its endeavors. The program for the year was made i n -teresting by the variety of the pro-ductions. Emphasis was given to the Pantomine classes and they supported the Dramatics Department in several plays.

Perhaps the most distinguished hon-ors go to the Music Dei)artment; for both the Band and Orchestra received highest rating at the State Contest. The Band also was honored at the National Contest at Cleveland by plac-ing first wi th two other bands.

The position of first place in class B •Which The Port Weekly attained at the Columbia Scholastic Convention compliments the ambitious activities of the staff during the year. Everything was taken into consideration which would make this paper interesting to the students and members of the fac-ulty.

I t is obvious that this has been an ambitious year in each activity. Let us hope that next term may go as well.

THE QXJESTION Do you think too much stress

given to teaching for Regrents? FLORENCE WHYTE, a sophomore,

said: " I don't believe i n teaching for regents. More progress can (be made i f regents are not necessary. A sub-ject should not be studied wi th such an examination i n mind, but should be pursued more freely. An individu-ality i n the method Oif study is possi-ible i f regents are not to be taken."

RICHARD EDDY, a Sophomore, offered: "Yes, I think regents are stressed too much. A lot of pupils in classes don't take them and re-gents study is wasted, as they get nothing out of i t . Much more would be gained i f regents were not the a im of study."

S H I R L J E Y W A R R E N , a Sophomore, responded: "No, regents are not stressed too much. A certain amount of study in that direction is neces-sary to keep a student working. I f we didn't have regents, we would be likely to neglect more work than we do."

LEE MEHAN, a Junior, stated: " I t is worth while to teach for regents. They are necessary in order to re-ceive a regents diploma which is more valuable than a school one."

CLAIRE WILLETS, a Senior, said: "Too much study is put upon re-gents. I ib€|ieve that regents are becoming less prevalent and soon no high school w i l l be taking them. I t is much wiser to expand in a subject in a way which regents study would make impossible."

JUNIOR SNOOP

L E T ' S G O P S Y C H I C

As a final and fitting wind-up to my year's career, I have decided to be-came psychic, ta i e my crystal ball i n hand, concentrate w i t h my snooping eye, and see i f I can't discover what fate I believe awaits the n i n t h grad-ers who expect to enter high school in the fa l l .

Hokus-pokus—here goes! I can see that Ray Finlay wi l l be-

came a ifamouls surgeoni and th|p.t Rachel Cuomo w i l l help h im wield the axe and saw. W i t h them I see Prank Himold, who is to contrilbute great things to science i n the battle against disease. Outside the same hospital I can see Jerry Grecco on his beat, for his vocation is to be that of a trafac cop. A n ambulance shoots by w i t h Eddy Tylinski its d r i -ver.

More Psychic Meandermgs A stroll down the street causes me

to meet Patty Turr iH, well-kniown dancer, and her friend, Eileen L a n -dy, who has just returned from Holly-wood. Eileen reports that June M u l -lon is busy shooting a new picture. Donald Lord is her director and Burr Miller her photographer. A whirring noise is heard overhead and Remlbert Brimm, noted aviatrix, whizzes toy. Florence Francis, air hostess, is w i th her.

Crystal Carries On For a freshening up, we visit the

beauty parlor of Loretta French, and have a talk w i th her partner, Mary WUlis. They te l l us that Josephine Nassani is preparing for the tennis finals at Forest Hills. Jo is good be-cause Ctoach Muro of Smith College has been coaching her. That conjures up the picture of Prof. Owen Thomas of Oxford, who is just "wowing" the Brit ish w i t h his feats of mathema-tics.

Another look shows us l itt le Char-lie Neulifit pleading a case i n court, and whom do we see on the bench, but that dignified jurist. Judge Phil l ip McQueen. The crystal whirls around to Yankee Stadium and there's A r t Duffy, famous Yankee coach. Watch-ing the game is Mary Roberts and Charlotte Webber. They're partners i n the kn i t t ing and dressmaking bus-iness, .toother spectator is Bayard Osborne, well-iknown politician, (and Byron Cramlblet, engineer.

Last Spin A final spin of the crystal and I

see Bryce K i r k , Earnest Fagiola, Nor-man Siwan, and Robert Johnson i n sailor suits. They're i n the navy now. Talking w i t h them is BUly Steinmann, who runs a mall plane. Andy Sprague, dancing maestro, is in conference w i t h George Huston who is well-known as a violinist. The crystal ball is spinning, I ' m spinning (yams), and we're tooth d l ^ — so let's a l l call i t a spin and quit.

The Staff has missed Buddy McQuade these past two weeks. Buddy was very busy entertaining a oold, measles, and a feiw minor ailments. We're glad he's back.
