4 chosvn to compete in Writing Contest

VOL. 13 NO. 10 Paul D. Schreiber High School Friday, March 16, 1973

l^s tweek. on the basis of a one hour impromptu essay. tb» English department selected juniors Robert Fi^dsteel . TaraFTt ipatr ick, Risa Kr iv f and Joanne Gruber as nominees for NCTE wri t ing honors.

The non-monetary award, given by the National Council of Teachers of English to recognize some of the country's finest high school writers, was described by Mrs, Nul l . Schreiber's competititm coordinator, as "the ultimate testimony to l iterary achievement", ranking in prestige with the National Merit Schtdarship.

Prior to this year, Schreiber's four candidates were nominated by thetr English teachers and selected by a departmental vote. However, it was decided that an open contest would be fairer pr imar i l y because the elective p n ^ r a m gives a teacher only ten weeks to become acquainted with a student's work. The twenty-two juniors who participated in the [H^l iminary contest were asked to write , under test conditions, an essay on how the image of women in Films. T.V. and literature has aided or defeated the feminists' c laim that social cultural , and economic forces have made them second class citizens. This topic was chosen because of its relevance and broad scopeand the papers, identified by numbers instead of names, were graded by Mrs. Nul l , Mr. Bocarde. Mrs. McKenzie, Mr. Hamburger and Mrs. Lawrence who were looking for strong viewpoints, stable supporting evidence, and overall quality wr i t ing .

The next step for each of these juniors is to submit three pieces of wr i t ing to the NCTE before Apri l 16th: a 250-300 word autobiography, a sample of their best wr i t ing (prose M- verse), and an impromptu thwne written in one hour under teacher supervision. In mid-October the 876 winners from across the country wi l l be announced. Ac-cording to Mrs. Null . Schreiber has had three consecutive winners, including Fred Lawrence who received the award this year, while students from Ro lyn and Great Neck have not been selected.

The following is a list of the other eighteen students who par-ticipated in the competition: Debbie Levin. Norl)ert Seifert, Bob Weingrad. Kathy Jackson, Rondi Sokoloff, J i l l Dinneen, Michael Fentk-ich. Robert Dropkin, Neil Canter. Daniel Ciccariello, Helen Sayers. Jeanie Clarke, AdamGinensky. Andrea Stein, Vidal Alcolea, Gregory Nissen, Andrew Peters, and Rosemary Pierce.

Port Alert Youth Center plans Coffee House

H i e Port Alert Youth Center, under the auspices ot new director EUise Rubenstein. has been discussing plans for setting up a coffee house, fund raising and other projects.

The board of directors cites as its goal to read the desires of members of thecommunity and to provide for them. One such desire expressed by many Port youths is the need for evening en-tertainment in town (other than the movies or bowling). In response, a coffee house which w i l l be opened most nightsjof the week wi l l be set up and opened in a few weeks. U v e entertainment wi l l be provided. The center also plans to establish frequent trips to con-c o l s , providing transportation by bus. Another idea being discussed is offering courses, such as yoga.

In order to achieve great success in establishing these programs and widening the channels of communication between all Port residents. Port Alert neak your h d p . I f you are interested in of-fering assistance of suggestions, please contact Bi l l Allen. Harry McBee <M- Ralpii Ramirez.

Room A ' a new place to relax Room A wi l l soon have a new name, the Guidance Lounge. Ms.

aeary , head of the Guidance Department, said that the lounge is intended to be a "relaxed, informal area. " The lounge wil l be a place where students can go to talk, study, play chess, and so on. Some furniture for the lounge has already been obtained, and more is on the way The furniture mainly consists of couches and ••com-fortable" chairs. Ms.Cleary stated that there would have to be some restrictions. No food or drinks wil l be allowed l)ecauseof the carpet-and the noise level, particularly caused by loud music wi l l be cur-tailed because d the neighboring guidance ofHces. The only supervision wi l l be from members of the Guidance staff passing through the lounge " I f supervision is needed, " Ms, Cleary said, " i t ifefeats the entire purpose of the lounge." She also said that the lounge is a real need for Schreiber students, more than the cafeteria. The lounge should be ready very soon.

Principal Comm. Selected

I n a s e r i es of four open meetings over the past two months, seven students were elected to represent the Schreiber student body in the selection of the next principal Two students were elected from each grade and one at large. Fred Lawrence , Cla ire Sokoloff. Joanne Gruber, Barbara Derian, Debbie Levin, Julie Sandorf, and Cathy Muir constitute the Student Principal Selction Committee, TTiese students were elected by those who attended the last open meeting which took place on February 28.

The first job of this commilttee is to find out what Schreiber students are looking for in a pdndpd. To accomplish this, they created a survey which was then made avai lable to a l l students through homerooms. This survey compares the good and bad qualities of past pr in-cipals. 11 leaves room for any other character is t i cs students would like to find in a principal, as well as any opinion of qualities that they (the commilteei should look for in helping to choose a new principal for Schreilier. With the aid of the survey information, the committee hopes to ac-curately represent the student body.

The second item on the agenda is to learn mterviewing techniques needed to uncover the full potential of an applicant. The committee has an aptxiintment w i t h Dr. Landon, Personnel Director, who is gomg to work with this gn>iq> to tietter them in this field.

The committee has already started reviewing applications and resumes of the ap-proximately one hundred ap-plicants being considered, as has the Teacher Principal Selection Committee.

French A La Hoffman

by Hulan Greenman

"L'enthousiasme des 'eleves est la raison d'etre de ce cours, leur a t t i tude est tres en-courageante. Nous allons coo-t inuer . " (Mrs. Hoffman tran-slates her statement as, "The enthusiasm of the students is the rational for this kind of course, the i r a t t i tude is very en-couraging. We wil l go ahead." Mrs. Hoffman's Practical French course, crffered in the third quarter as a language elective to allow studmts with no language experience or students w i t h experience other than French to have a chance to have a working VDcatMilary in a foreign language. The pilot class of ten allow Mrs. HoSman to concentrate more with each student. Although only French is spoken, these new French students find themselves capaUe of speaking correctly in thb new foreign language.

At the present t ime the class uses visuab to simulate actual situations. In the near future, however, they wi l l be going into the field to French stores and restaurants Now the students can hande themselves in Paris if they find themselves in an auto accident, in need of a hotel room or wanting to Tind out the cost of an i tem.

Mr^ Hoffman hopes to go on with the same group and add a few new students. Next year there might be a hal f -year Practical Frwich I course and a half-year Practical French I I course. Fol lowing these a one year student of French could go into a regular conversation c l a u .

Indians" Opens April 13th 1890 Massacre of Indians

Rehearsals are underway for what is likely to be the most current and topical of any play that the Department of Performing Arts has ever produced. The recent occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota by militant Indians brings the events of the play, Indians, into suddenly sharp focus. The subject of the drama concerns the tS90 massacre of Indians by Federal troops in the last clash of the Intfian wars.

The play was written and produced on Broadway totir years ago by Arthur Kopit. The lead. Buffalo Bul l , was played by Stacy Keach, and wi l l be played by Gerry Cavagnaro in the Schreiber production. Other famil iar personalities wi l l be portrayed, such as Sitting Bull (Nate Moon) and Wild Bi l l Hickok (Tony Solomita): Jesse James. Bil ly the Kid and a real 01 ' Time President Among the cast of ap-proximately 50 actors wil l also appear Alan Michalak. Ron Mayer, Mark Da Silva. Nick Mastrocinque. John O'Connor and Robert Fieldsleel in leading roles. Indians wi l l be staged Apr i l 13 and 14. Friday and Saturday evenings.

Two Views of the Talent Show Bull in the Ring Nife

by Nancy Kaplan [n a bullfight, the bull is in the center of the ring, fighting against an inevitable

slaughter. In Schreibers Talent Show, the student was in the center o( the stage, also fighting against Ihe inevitable. As the bull is tormented by metal spikes planted In his shoulders before the fight, so the performers were tormented by the thoughtof facing an incredibly critical audience. The banderillos, who before a bullfight "p lay" the bull to lest its fighting characteristics, represent a parallel to the "talent show" spectators, who in their silence at the beginning of each act were testing the extent of each per-former's talent.

When a tHillfight begins, the picador, holding a lance, enters the ring on a decrepit horse. As the bull is duped into charging the horse, the picador gashes him between the shoulder blades. As this gash lx?gins to weaken the bull, so the sarcasm of the talent show's spectators began to weaken each of its participants. The second act of a bullfight involves the banderillos again, as they stab the bull with harpoon shaped points in his wounded neck. Here the analogy is to the perpetual ridicule of the audience at this '"talent night." Finally, in the bullfight's last act. the matador is alone with the dying animal. Proving his "bravery and courage ". he must pierce the bull's nock and strike its heart, finally, at the end of each student's performance, the audience, alone with the dying performer, proved its 'bravery and courage"; it pierced the student's act and striick his ego with jeers and boos.

Editorials It is a weJl known fact that a parking problem exists at Schreiber for

faculty and students alike. Throughout the year students have been getting tickets, three day suspensions or warnings from Mr. Bartels lor parkmg in the faculty lot. The faculty, each of whom is guaranteed a parking space in his or her contract, has become vety angry and upset over another 's taking their assigned parking spaces. This in-convenience makes it difficult for teachers to get to their classes on time and often they end up getting tickets for parking in other spaces.

At the present time, Mr. Bartels has rescinded his order that all teachers report parking violators to him for suspension.

At the present time, there is no concrete policy regarding the use of the parking lot except that the administration can call in the pohce to issue three-to-five dollar parking tickets to violators. This rule has been found to be very ineffective, and teachers a re still complaining about the parking problem.

From past experience, it is imrealistic to think that students will not drive their cars to school. These students need a place to park somewhere near the school. If the parking problem continues, the teachers have the right to file a grievance to the school district and demand that the situation be improved. If this is done, some new parking policy, or a new parking lot, may have to be made.

Whatever is done in the near future, both students and teachers should be involved to make sure that their needs and desires are beard and acted upon by those who will make the final decision.

Now that many of us have become 18 years old, or are ap-proadiing that age soon, we must assume a greater role in society. All of us who are of age should register to vote (you should do this soon, so that you can vote in the May election!, and all males should check into registry for the draft. Voting information and draft counseling can be easily obtained from omi Guidance Dept. if you require it. ign

Letter To The Editor Sirs:

It has become increasingly distressing to see the state of our front lawn here at Schreiber. I>uring our summery winter the ground, instead of remaining hard and frozen, was very spongy. With the great amounts of foot traffic across our hallowed turf, theground came toresemble some great ocean of mud and muck. If the students at Schreiber expect (o enjoy the luxury of plush, green grass below a lliush green tree this s ^ ing , something will have to be done soon For if we allow this situation to worsen we will be sitting below our plush green trees in a great sei of brown slimy mud!

Audience Burns Hanns by Miehsfl Fpndtich

In the last couple of years. Schreiber's talent shows have attracted more students than any other event. The talent shows, however, attract impatient and intoleranl audiences; this year the people came to hear 50's rock and comedy -they didn't stand for anything else

At this year 's talent show, there were only four acts that the audience really liked The remainder of the acts were heckled and booed Save one or two, most of Ihe heckled acts really didn'1 merit that much audience appreciation. Perhaps the courage that those performers had. to be able to come out on stage and face the hostile crowd, did merit the audience's respect.

Nevertheless, Ihe people there las! Friday night had a good time, even if Ihey were rowdy Maybeil was wrong for them to act the way they did, but then again, maybe it was Ihe only way they could release all the pent-up aggression that a weekof school instilb. The crowd wanted action and it they didn't get it, they made their own. And judging from previous talent shows Ihe soft sounds of the folk singers, the talented low key classical pianists and the tap dancers should have known that they would never captivate Ihe audience. No wonder the audience really dug Lynn atskirsky s vivacious singing. Andy Marsann's Oldies Rock. Greg Nisson's Ellon Jnhn and Bob Weingrad's quick wilted humor- they all had a certain charisma which complementedlheir talent No wonder the audience booed everyone else.

Perhaps Ihe talent should be screened before they come on stage, in order to avoid unneeessarv insult. But the solution is not. as some believe, to do away with talent shows completely The purpose of the talent show is to provide an evening of enlertainment for Ihe students in atlendence. If the audience has fun, then Ihe talent show has served iU purpose There can be no doubt that last Friday's audience had fun And if ihrnngs of students are willing to pay a dollar to return to the high school on a Friday night, then something special must be going on.

Take Heed, You Play-Missers by NktHni Nisten

Often you'll hear a person saying. "That play was only one weekend? I wish I had known. I would have gone to see it'."

To all those who have been misinformed in Ihe past (or who have always seemed to come up with a good excuse not to see a staged production), I have compiled a list of the spring theatrical productions now in rehearsal in and around Port Washington, Take heed, you play-missersl Many of these productions run for two nights only, and many of them are weII-produced, despite their amateur origins. Remember, professional is just one step above amateur!

Schreiber's spring play will be "Indians" with Gerry Cavagnaro in the leading part of BuffaloBill The subject of the play, the Indian Massacre of 1890 by Federal Troops, is a particularly ironic coincidencewith the recent clashes at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, between militant Indians and United States marshals. "Indians"will be presented the 13th and 14th of April. Friday and Saturday nights, and will run for one weekend only.

At Weber Jr , High, Mr, Martin <of the Schreiber English Department) is staging the television hit musical, "Once Upon a Mattress ' , which starred Carol Burnett and Jack Guilford, "Once Upon a Ht t t res" will be presented by Weber students the 23rd and 24th of March,

Sousa J r High is considering "The House Next Door' as their spring play on FViday, March 23rd; the choice of the production, however, is subject to change.

The Cottgregational Church of Manhasset is staging the musical "Anything Goes" the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of March. Schreiber High will be represented in Ihe cast .

The Play Troupe of POTI Washington is presenting several productions this Spring "Adaptations" will be performed the 61h and 7th of April The annual childrens'production will be 'Alice In Wonderland" Starring is Schreiber student Rosemary Pierce as Alice, with Billy Graverl as the White Rabbit, Alan Michelak as the March Hare, and JeanneMorris. Debbie Lewandowski, Francine DiSlefano, Cindy Smith, Alice Freyer. Louise Diamond, and Debbie Rosenthal in supporting roles, "Alice "will be [H-esented at the Main Street School on the 17th and 18th, and the 23Tii and 241h of March. Saturday the 17th will have 10:00 and 2:00 matinee performances; Sunday the 18th will be at 2:00; Friday the 23rd will be a special adult presentation at 8:30, and Saturday the 24th will be a 2:00 matinee per-formance. Schreiber is not only putting on the spring play, but several concerts as well. The Schreit>er Band Concert is Ihe I7lh of March; tickets may be purchased from any band member On March 31st the Varsity Choir and Ihe orchestra are presenting a combined concert and tickets are available. All proceeds go to the band-orchestra trip to Quebec during the w e ^ of April 9th.

History Survey Evaluated by Jo iu inF G m b e r

Last month, approximately 390 Schreiber juniors enrolled in American Hislnry eleclives were surveyed by the History Department about their reactions to the elective program and course offerings. The results of this survey are contribuling to Ihe continuing enrichment of (he p r t ^ r am, as the History [>eparlment has an-nounced several changes and additions that will be made.

The results indicate that an overwhelming majority of the students are satisfied with Ihe elective program, and prefer it to any other system. They also feel that tea Cher-student relationships a re good,

A very h i ^ percentage of the students felt thai Ihe program is satisfactory, the majority of whom rated it good-excellent. Factors determining this success were, in order of importance, teachers, curriculum, class activities, grading, written work, readings, and AV materials. Students had the option of listing any of these as negative factors; however, the majority of the responses for each were positive.

A high percentage said lhal they prefer the ten week elective program to semester courses i 20 weeks i or a full year survey in American studies. As a result of this response. Ihe History Department has decided to abandon Ihe preseni European Culture course for sophomores, for a ten week elective program. Howe\'er, sophomores and juniors who prefer a full year class will have the op-portunity to lake il. The program will start next year.

In regard to preparation for the Social Studies Regenl."! Exam for juniors, an equal number of students .supported reviewing for the exam in Iheir 4lh quarter elective and an entire 4lh quarter elective designed to focus on Regents skills. In response, the History DepartmenI will offer two ten week electives Ihe las! quarter which can be used lo satisfy junior unit requirements, reviewing Ihe American people and government, and economics and world affairs. In addition, during ihc last quarter teachers will he holding review sessions which anyone can aliend during his or her free mods, and some form of review will take place in Ihe quar-terly classes.

A very high percentage felt that leacher-sludenl relationships are satisfactory, again, with Ihe majority rating them good-excellenl. Factors determining Iheir reponses were, in order of importance, interest and concern of teacher, teacher's willingness to discuss, teacher availability, willingness lo listen, willingness to give ideas and suggestions A significant majority also fell thai, in order of posilive response, teachers respect them, trust them, a r e understanding, and use a variety of classroom techniques.

TESL to Hold Internationol Dinner

On Tues.. Mar. 27, TESL is having its annual dinner, which will be hdd in the Schreiber cafeteria. Last year, the students' parents were each asked to prepare their favorite dish. The result was a very successful dinner with several hundred attending. Hopefully this year It will be another great success.

Interact ^ w p s at Schreiber are innovative ideas designed to promote self-awareness and communication between students and teachers. The groups started last year on an experimental basis, and they proved to be successful. The groups were reinitiated into the schedule on a quarterly scale this year.

The group's main goal is to end the communication lag between students and teachers. The groups try to stress that students and teachers are individuals with personal feelings, and by discussing openly problems on various topics, the two groups relate to each other as human beings rather than baving the students and teachers relate on only an academic level.

l l i e interact groups are op^i to any student and teacher who would like to know about one another with better un-derstanding. At present, there are twelve groups in Schreiber. Getting into a group is on a totally voluntary basis. It is not a course, and there is no credit givm. The groups meet once a week, for at least two mods. Students and teachers are not forced to con-tinue with the groups if they so desire. They are not pressed to remain if they are not satisfied with the groups. In the past it has be^ quite evident that there was a definite need for students to communicate, and hopefully these interact groups are achieving just that.

Some teachers participating in these groups are Mr. Banta, Mr. Darling. Mrs. Puccio. and Mrs Sulzer. Ms. Cleary, a guidance counselor ^nd one of the organizers of the interact groups, at joys participating in them. She finds that she is really able to gel into them, and she was able to belter understand herself as an individual as well as others. Mrs. Sulzer. an English teacher here al Schreiber, likes the interact groups very much. When she started teaching here last January, she joined a group, and in September she once again joined a group, and is still in-volved. She is also able to un-derstand kids at a better level.

ff iSL, the program which instructs foreign speaking students in English speaking and writing slir", is planning to introduce its own version of a multi-media teaching method. Compilation of this learning kit has already begun. It wiO consist of a series of cards containing an illustration, and an English sentence describing the ptcture. The excellent drawings are done by the talented Vidal Alcolea (his drawings were featured in the Schreiber Times). The cards will become part of the multi-media teaching method. A tape recording will accompany the card. The recording will contain the voice of the instructor pronouncing the sentences printed on the cards The student will listen to the tape while viewing the cards. This is done in the hope of helping the student to identify words with actual real life things. The student must repeat the phrase as stated correctly by (he tape. This method of teaching is designed to aid the students in pronunciation and expansion of vocabulary and actural conversational speaking ability. The students hopefully will (eel more comfortable learning from material designed by their peers.

Many students in Schreiber do not know what tne TESL program is. TESL is a program which instructs foreign speaking students in English, as well as conventional subjects such as math and social studies. It is under the direction of Mrs. Girillo. It employs a social studies and a math teacher, as well as several English instructors. The instructors have some sort of foreign language background. The program at Schreiber is now instructing about 115 students, speaking Spanish, Italian. French. Korean, and Polish, Each student is at a different level of education. Some have had a good deal of education in their native country, while others have had comparatively little. The teachers thus must give a good deal of individualized attention to the students. However, group teaching is also employed. Peer pressure often makes a student perform better. Students are also encouraged to take regular Schreiber courses which do not require much English, such as typing, shop, home economics, etc. The main aim of the TESL program is to leach the students more than simply survival English. They want the students to \x able to speak English in a way such that they can function normally in American society.

Students are given their English assignments for an entire week at a time. These assignments include English grammar, vocabulary, and a composition on a topic chosen by the teacher. In teaching social studies and math, a very low level vocabulary is employed These methods seem to be a success. TESL has had no dropouts in the four years of its existence.
