Mr. Mcintosh contraicted a cold which kept him out of action for several days. By New Year's Eve he was in good shape again but New Year's Day he was once more In bad shape.

To Regents Takers According to our survey the num- ber of students taking regents this Januajy is about the same as in previous years. Mrs. Goldenheim has many students taking Spanish regents and expects all of them to do well. Those students in History A2 will pass if they want to, is Mr. Kezar's sentiment. Economics like- wise, again comments Mr. Kezar. Mr. Schombom's fated ones should have a good chance too. In general the math students look quite hopeful but a few tn the Intermediate classes have their doubts. According to many, the Latin prospect is awe-ful! How- ever, the science classes express a satisfied view toward the oncom.- inp terror. But aEt«r all, don't let the re- gent's twogies drive you nuts, afi you can re-take them. Get a good night's sleep, and don't cram too hard. La Tertulia Fills Pinata A party was held on Wednesday, December 18. by the Spanish Club. Spanish music accompanied the great amoimt of food. Miss Rtera presided in place of Mrs Golden- heim. A Mexican pinata was pre- pared by members of La TertuUa. Pinata Is held at ClirLstmas m Mexico. A game something like "Blind Mam's BuM" is played, A large bowl is fOled with gifts and sweets for everyone. The "Blind Man" is supplied with a stick; and when he finds the bowl, breaks it and all the gifts and sweets fall out. However, a different version of the Rame wa." used at .•.le party. A cardboard box, decorated with gaily colored paper, was used. But the contents were "the real thing." The party was said, by Joe Tassoni, to be a great success. The mem- bers of the Faculty who received donations from the Spanish Club were very well satisfied. SCHEDULE FOR REGENT'S EXAMINATIONS JANUARY 20-21, 1941 9:15 A. M .

While for the salie of economy the length of the book has been reduced by 16 pages, it Is expectod by all connected with its production that it wUl be one of the Ijest yearbooks produced here in recent years. In connection with this, we would hke to mention that last year's Port Light was given the first award in class B at the L. I. Interscholaatic Yearbook Confer- ence held recently. This is the second consecutive year for which Port's book has been given this rating. The bronze placque now reposes in the office window.

The book is being iinanced entire- ly through the effort of this staff, money from subscriptions, at $1.50 per copy, and money from the G. O. This may well be made easier by the fact that the book will cost 5250 less to produce, due to eco- nomies that have been made. In spite of tills fact, it is expected that the book will be one to be re- membered for its merit. The annual will be printed at the Country Ij£e Press, a change frcan the last few years. There will be no literature section as it has been known in the past, but color will appear on the dividers and front spread. A very novel arrangement is plftimed for the whole volume.

mor.thly meeting of the Circle, the school's honor society, was held.

PORT TROUNCES GREAT NECK 42-19

— BY EUGENE CONNORS

The Port team really looked good Tuesday ntght when they swamped the Great Neck team. 42-19.

The Blue and While were In the lead [rom l)egmnlng to end. Jessen was the high scorer of the evening chalking up 17 points, Elliott second with 10 and Morrison th i rd with 9.

I n the first few seconds of the gajne Port jumped out in front by quickly sinking two baskets. Cosmo Morrison did one of the honors with one of his understand flip shots that seem unbelievable. I t was a fast game and once in a while the boy a were a little over-anxious and started losing the ball, but they had Great Neck in a daze as far as quick sbotf and quick passes were concerned.

At the half the score was 22-6. The rest of the game was pretty much the same with Port possess-ing the ball most of the time and sinking baskets one right after another.

An Interesting sight that kept the crowd cheering was this. When one of the Port fellows attempted a shot and missed. Jessen would be under the basket and as the ball bounded off the backboard Jes-sen would tap It back into the basket.

Jessen, Elleott and Morrison did most of the scoring with McKenna, Kelley and Marro doing their share w i t h a basket each. Before the game was over practically al l the Port squad was i n the game at one time or another.

The intermural basketball tour-nament got under way last month and so far, one game has been played. boys were chosen, as captains who in turn selecWd their own teams.

The standings are as follows: Won Lost %

Demeo 1 0 .1000 Shaw cross 1 0 .1000 Knuisen 1 0 .1000 Iniermesell ! I 500 Nelsen 0" 2 .000 Biro 0 1 • .000

There wil l be games on these dates; Jan. 10, Jan. 17, Jan. 24, Jan. 31.

So far O U T basketball team has annexed two victories and has drop-pfd two games. I n case you are intei-ested, here are the scores: Port 31 Oyster Bay 27 Port 33 Roslyn 37 Port S4 Sea CUB ZS Port 23 Adelirtii 14
