Port Light Announces Photo Contest Rules Cash Prizes To Be Awarded In Final; Hendriclcson, Junker, Amthor Judges

Juniors Triumph In Play Battle

BY BOB AITKEN The Junior class emerged trium-

phant after 1% hours of bitter struggle on Friday. The contest of the thespians was extremely close, so much so, that extra time with which to decide the victor was taken by the judges, Mr. Scheenborn, Miss Pelton, and Mr. Corson. Mystery Play is Vehicle

Their play, "Dwellers m the Darkness," was a mystery in which Mr. Mortimer. (Hal MacCartney) gets in a tussle with the spook (Red Hilderbrand). When the Ughts are put on they find him without a face.

I t was acted partially without lights. Professor Urquhart (Kemp Reade) endeavors to prove the sup-erstition about a murder of a man caught stealing a card in the same room. The medium between the natural and supernatural turn-ed out to be Mrs. Vyner (Pussy Woodward.) Sopbs, Comedy of Yomth

The sophomore play "Not Quite Such a Goose" concerns the re-forming of Albert (Mac Rinehart) from a tough lad to a more refined one. His whole conception of life is reversed when he meets Hazel Henderson, nobly acted by Peggy Rankin, and so he feels the same as Philip Flick (David Sipperly) whom he had laughed at before-hand. This meets the hearty ap-proval of Mrs. Bell (Marion Ogle-thorpe) and Sylvia (Eloise Frost), ' his sister. Seniors in Russian Classic

The Senior play, "A Marriage Proposal" Involves one Ivan Vas-silivitch (Richard Renson) who comes to the Stepanovitch house to propose marriage to Natalia (Betty Lyons). After several argu-ments, which concerns some mo-dows and dogs. Stepan Stepanovitch Tchubukov (Holm Hinrichs) enters with some wine, with which he celebrates. As a whole the plays were performed extremely well. Much credit is deserved by both the actors and their directors. Dale Ely, Charlotte Griffes, and Adelaide Crawley.

We wish to give credit to the juniors for their spirit as the prog-ress of their play was hampered by certain boisterous members of the audience.

Assembly Today On Australia

Greenwood Adams, of Mel-bourne, Australia, will appear here today at 2:00 P. M. to tell of the strange wonders of the land on the opposite side of the world, where, he says, "the people do not stand on the top of their heads or have to hang on to trees to keep from falling off the world; the force of gravity works there Just as well as it does here."

But there are many other things, according to Mr. Adams, so dif-ferent from those in this country that a first-hand account is the only way one could be convinced of them. Unique Animals, Plants

Birds that cannot fly, the many pouch-carrying animals, unique lizards extinct everywhere else in the world, trees with their bark on the inside, the original live teddy-bears (koalas to most people).

June Johnson Leads Meeting

June Johnson of the Port Week-ly staff led a round table discussion on "Putting Punch into the Editor-ial Page!" at the third annual press convention held last Wednesday, at Adelphi College.

John Horgan of Sewanhaka High School was the presiding officer. Sectional Meetings were held from 3:00 to 3:50. Local Editor Talks

Dorothy Grant Ford, Owner-Edi-tor of Port Washington's "The Reporter", talked on "Newspaper Help From a Village Editor". She brought many copies of old papers and gave a short history of journal-ism in Port Washington. Her talk was enjoyed by all who attended as it was very interesting and es-pecially instructive.

The dinner was at six o'clock and it was followed by dancing.

At ten o'clock, the weary staff turned homeward after an interest-ing day.

The following attended: Lila Dar-gan, Martin Lewis, Ruthanne Stu-debaker. Richard Kirkup, Charlotte Breaznell, June Johnson. Rosemary Skillman, Pussy Woodward, Bob Fitz, Pierre Loiseaux, Paul Willi-ams, Doris Mitchell and Eugene Connors.

Senior Ball Comes Saturday, Nov. 16

The close of oar football season, the tussle with Glen Cove on Nov. 16, will mark the date of the Senior Ball, plans are well under way and several committees have been ap-pointed. Bob Bessel, the president of the Senior class, as well as the rest of the class, hopes to make it the best dance this fair high school has ever seen.

The orchestra being considered is Bucky Walker's local group. It has been newly revised and it will full-fil the expectations of all.

The price per couple will be one dollar and $1.25 for stags. This pro-mises to be something different in the way of dances and will t)e a perfect climax of a successful football sea;-son.

The Port Light of 1941 has an-nounced full details of the Photo Contest that it will sponsor during the next five months. It will con-sist of five separate monthly con-tests for November through March, with a final judging of the ten winning pictures that will have been taken by elimination from those submitted during the year. This means that two snapshots will be picked each month for the final elimination. $5, $2 Awards

When the finals are over, the following prizes will be awarded: 1st, $5.00; 2nd, $2.00; and 3rd, a copy of the Port Light or its fi-nancial equivalent in the event that the winner possesses a G. O. ticket.

Each month at the close of tha t section of the contest, the winning pictures will be posted prominently in the halls together with the names of the persons who took them. These will then be eligible for the final elimination. School Scenes for Subjects

Snapshots are to be of school scenes, or scenes around Port Washington in which students play an important part.. The results of each monthly contest will be an-nounced soon after the close of the month.

All pictures are to be handed to Mr. Scherer or Mr. Junker, ad-viser of the Photo Club, which will assist in the conduct of the con-test. The judges will be Mr. Hend-rickson and Mr. Junker of the photo Club, and Ryder Amthor, editor of the yearbook. Get Goinir!

Now is the time for all interest-ed to begin snapping the shutters of their cameras, and remember to turn them in before the close of this month's contest.

The minimum size for pictures will be 2% by 3% inches, and the maximum, 8 by 10 inches. Nega-tives must be submitted along with the prints, and the prints become the property of the Port Light. Negatives will be returned at the close of the contest.

Winning pictures will probably be used in the Port Light, and all submitted are accepted with the understanding that they may be used if the Port Light staff so de-sires.

Library Sponsors Treasure Hunt

On November 10th to 16th our school w i l l celebrate Annual Book Week. I n order to make the students more keenly aware of the import-ance of books, Miss Pelton, our l i -brarian, has announced that two cMitests are being sponsored, first, of which there is a treasure hunt. I n this contest, the students wi l l t ry to f ind certain book characters, t i t -les, pictures and stories, information for all this abounds in reference ibooks in the library. Book Question Crastic

The second contest is called' a Book Question Crastic, which tests your knowledge of book titles, char-acters and authors.

Books wi l l be awarded as prizes and the library staff encourages all students to participate in either of these contests. Your English teach-ers wi l l be glad to furnish you wi th any further information concerning this topic.

Photo Club in Darkroom The Photo Club had a darkroom

meeting Monday i n which six people showed up.

I n the meeting, Mr. Junker ex-plained the process of developing and developed one ro l l of f i l m .

The following have signed up for the Photo Club: Natalie Porter, Les-ter Hehn, James Barrett, Paul Smith, Thora Westergaard, Marion Smith, Virginia Costello, Byder A m -thor, Ida Yewell, Kelvin Kable, Holm Hinrichs, Roy Larsen and Jime Rivers. I f anyone wants their name removed, see Lester Hehn.

I t has been decided that the Photo Club wi l l meet once a month.

Today's Assembly Continued from rage i

boomerangs as every-day weapons instead of playthings for the Pres-ident's cabinet members, and countless other novel features make this talk one sure to be out-standing.

M r . Adams was born and brought up i n Australia, and has Uved there most of his life. He came first to England on a speak-ing tour, was on one of Australia's Olympic teams, was last in Aus-tra l ia a year and a half ago, and has brand-new movies of many novel sights and rare animals, i n -cluding exclusive shots of a tree-climbing kangaroo. Akin to ,the U. S.

Australians feel strongly akin to the United States, partly because they are i n such a new country, and partly because their form of government, the i r architecture, their business practices and their whole way of life are so closely re-lated to that of this country. Mr. Adams' pictures and explanation of them, say listeners, are both i n -formative and inspiring.

D. Donald And M. Lewis Lead I n Ability Test

I n the Carnegie Mental Ability Tests recently given to all seniors i n s<aiool, the following students came out on top, i n the order that they are given out: Douglas Donald, Mart in Lewis, Paul Smith, Filomena Forgione, Holm Hinrichs and Anne Boss.

Douglas Donald set a new record for our school by ranking first in each part of the test-word relat-ions, number relations and high school information.

Twenty-three of our seniors or 13 per cent of ,aur class stood wi th the highest 10 per cent of seniors throughout the coimtry. I n other words, this school has 3 per cent more students in the highest rank than the avera<ge.

Breaznell Exhibits Horse Painting I n Library

Charlotte Breaznell, of the l l A made a very excellent painting of a horse, now on exhibit i n the l i -brary.

Thene is also an exhibit of wild life in the library. Two different techniques were used on these paint-ings. They are the brush anid the paOletbe knife, the latter which is to be looked at from a distance.

This year different exhibitions have been arranged In the hall . These paintings and drawings have been done from day to day i n art class.

YESTEBTHOUGHTS, a Bluebird release by Glerm Miller is perhaps as fine a recording of a popular iballad as has been producted i n years. The song is, i n itself, a gem and Mr. Miller's arrangement is perfection personified. Ray Eberle sings.

THERE I GO, a Columbia rec-ord by Wi l l Bradley, is an effici-ent job done on one of the current h i t tunes. Jimmy Valentine (who is no relaticri to the detective of tlie same name) makes with the l y -rics, but nicely.

I GIVE YOU M Y WORD, a Blue-bird product by Mitchel Ayres and his up and coming orchestra shoul<i prove a satisfactory addition to any library of dance records. The band plays smoothly and Tommy Taylor vocalizes.

WE THREE, a Bluebird release by Bob Chester. I t has reached the point where listening to Bob Ches-ter records has ibecome monotonous. They're al l good and "We Three" is no exception to the rule. Dolores O'Neill pants the refrain in more than passable fashion, sympathe-tically accompKinied by the boys of the band.

STOP PRETENDING, on Blue-bird by Fats Waller. The inimitable, irrepressible "Fats" holds forth i n his usual carefree vein wherein the results are worth listening to. Mr. Waller wi l l never make the "Met " wi th his limited vocal talents but no one wil l deny that his voice is unusual and his piano playing is tops: J I V E FOR T H E CONNOISSEUR:

I S X m R E N D E B DEAB, a Blue-bird release by Artie Shaw. This is another of Artie Shaw's old time recordings and certainly one of his best. Here again Artie waxes elo-quent on clarinet backed up by some substantial band work, worth get-ting.

SWINGIN' ON C, a Decca record-ing by Jimmy Lunceford. When Mr. Limceford starts playing the joint really jumps. This ditty from begin-ning to end is completely solid. J i t -terbugs look out.!

MUNSON STBEETT B B E A K -DOWN, a Victor release by Lionel Hampton. The swing industry's no. 1 boy takes off on this ore and fcBTgets to come down. For safety's sake we would recommend an ice-bag with each heating. So help us, it's that hot.

its successful seascn by defeating their t radi t ional rival Grea t Neck 27-20. I t was an exciting game from s ta r t to finish.

T h e scanty backfield defense which Grea t Neck offered was a cue to the Blue a n d White for an ariel a t tack but for some reason or other Port 's passes didn ' t click ex-cept for a few.

Gr e a t Neck's first touchdown came in the first quar ter with a sweeping r u n a round thei r own left end) and thei r speedy bal l-cairrier runn ing about 75 yards for a touchdown. They failed to make t h e extra point.

Port ' s first touchdown came in t h e first quar ter wi th Biro plunging t h r u t h e line and over the goal. J e s -sen kicked th ree t imes for t h e ex t ra point bu t each t ime someone was off sides so they decided to r u n i t over which they didn ' t succeed in doing.

I n the second half Por t and Grea t Neck each got two touchdowns and both kicking the ex t ra points. Grea t Neck obtained' one of he r touch-downs with the famous S ta tue of Liberty play. Biro plunged t h r u t h e line for Port ' s last two touchdowns. This is the second t ime we have ever bea ten Grea t Neck. We have tied t h e m m a n y t imes though.
