Schreiber is "Fine"
According to Middle States
The Middle States Association,
whose team of evaluators visited
Schreiber in October, recently
issued their report, in which they
summarized Schreiber as a "fine
school." The body of the report
consists of commendations and
recommendations on each aspect
and deppartment of the school. In
general, the report praises
Schreiber as being a well-run
school which meets most of the
needs of its students.
In the area of curriculum, the
committee wrote: "The course
offerings are extensive and broad
enough to cover the academic
needs of the greater majority of
the student body," especially
when "it is projected that between 70 percent and 80 percent
of the student body is designated
as being college bound." The
committee praised Schreiber's
modular scheduling for increasing "the communication between

The society was founded by the
National Society of Secondary

This
professional group provides
$250,000 for scholarships given to
members of the National Honors
Society annually.
On Wednesday, March 21 at
7:00 p.m. an induction ceremony'
will be held in the Schreiber
auditorium where the nominees
will officially join the Society.
The members will receive a
membership card and certificate
as a part of the ceremony. Details
on the purpose, ideals, and
meeting dates will be discussed
on Wednesday.
To be selected for the society
one must have the following
minimum requirements: a B-(average during your whole high
school record, no less than a C-lin a regular class, no less than a C

was the plea of a petition signed
by over 400 students in Schreiber
on Tuesday, March 13.
A core group of approximately
12 people have formed a committee called the Concerned
Students Committee in an attempt to regain the use of the
front of the campus.
On Tuesday night, 23 students
representing many different
groups in Schreiber went to the
School Board meeting in order to
make a proposal about opening
the front for students use and
presenting the petition. Leslie
Alonge, representing these
students, had prepared a speech
to read before the Board. The
speech stated that the C.S.C. and
other students feel that "the rule
was put in effect three years ago
when no students now attending
Schreiber were there." It goes on
to say, "It truly is not fair to
deprive us of enjoying the front of
our school when we are clearly
not the students for whom the
rule was made." It cites for
give it an "active part in all
school activities." Overall the
committee recommended the
appointment of a "full time
student activities director to
coordinate the student activities
program and to define its goals '
The committee commended the
school administration for
maintaining "effective discipline
and building controls." The
committee encouraged the administration to increase cooperation between teachers and the
administration, and to "encourage and promote better community relations." The committee noted "a lack of interest
socially and culturally" among
the community. The committee
recommended "a more determined effort to make Paul D.
Schreiber High School more of a
focal point for community involvement and interest."
example, that the front of the
school was designed for student
use, and that the students are
willing to comply with the rules of
no smoking and no littering. It
concludes by saying "All we ask"
is that you be open minded and
fair about this issue, and consider
a trial run for this spring."' and'
they hope we can have a change
to prove to you that we ar^e
responsible enough to have such
a privilege."
The students were not allowed
to speak at the Board meeting.
The meeting they attended was a
special workshop devoted entirely to another topic. Themeeting was scheduled for 8:15
p.m. but did not begin until 9:00
p.m. During this time, Mr. Banta,
who was there, talked to the
group. Mr. Banta told them that
they would not be able to speak,
then and suggested that the group
gain support of the Student
Government and discuss with
him on Wednesday morning
about getting organized.

they fail to get any recognition
they will try to arrange a sit-in at

One might have been apprehensive in going to see Spoon
River Anthology, performed at
Schreiber March 16 and 17,
thinking that such a morbid
theme could hardly prove to be
an elevating evening's entertainment. After all, the cover of the
program does depict a graveyard
scene. I feel, however, that to the
audience present, the Anthology
proved to be entertainment of the
highest quality. The fine acting
performances harmonized very
well with the highly professional
musical interludes and the cast
and directors should be congratulated on turning out such a
polished performance.
Spoon River Anthology,
adapted from Edgar Lee
Masters, is a well balanced two
act play set in the mythological
town of Spoon River, Illinois
during the mid-1800's. Characters
are present on stage as if they
were sitting in their graves and
an eternal deathly atmosphere is
contrived by the cast. Six men

on March 23. The students, who
are staying for ten days, come
from Vermont, New Hampshire,
Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Colorado and California. The visitors will live in the
homes of club members.
Many events are scheduled for
the group, including a welcoming
party when they arrive. They will

McKenzie
Memorial
On D e c e m b e r 16, 1977, a
memorial bookcase was unveiled
in honor of F a y McKenzie, a
former Schreiber High School'
English teacher. The book collection is located in the library's
reference room and contains
faforite titles in literature, which
were loved and taught by Ms.
McKenzie.
The books are now circulating
throughout the school, and a
special drawer in the card catalog is devoted to the collection.
Recent additions include. All
Things Wise and Wonderful, the
Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
and the Treasury of American
Poetry. Sherlock Holmes is
among the books which are now
being ordered for the growing
McKenzie library. Donations are
welcomed to continue the fund
and make further additions
feasible.
The English department has
also proposed a F a y McKenzie
award which would be presented
to a well rounded, civic minded
student with a love for reading.
and, depending one what the
exchange students prefer, they
may split into two groups. In the
evening the entire group will eat
in a restaurant and see the play
Dracula. The students will be
shown Port Washington and will
visit Schreiber for two days. Mr.
Banta would like totiave the exchange students talk to some
individuals in the American Studies classes.
The group will attend Sports
Night, they will be taken to a
movie, and are invited to a SUB-
day mornings Brunch. Since
there are several other activities
scheduled, the visitors will be on
the go most of their time in Port
Washington.
During the April vacation, ten
students from Schreiber will go to
one of the states mentioned
above, excluding Vermont. The
students fortunate enough to go
are those who dedicated the most
time and effort in the fundraising
activities, such a s Donkey

In December, a committee,
composed of Mr. Banta and other
faculty members interested in
exploring the current curriculum
and p r o g r a m , w a s formed.
According to Mr. Banta, the
curriculum and program, was
formed. According to Mr. Banta,
the curriculum committee, which
meets every other week, is
"looking into ways to modify
current practices of established
programs in meaningful ways
and establishing revisions" to be
implemented in the school year
that begins in September of 1980.
The committee meets to discuss
information found, and to react to
the members'ideas.
Mr. Banta said that it will
"speak with other teachers,
review the Middle States report,
and visit other schools with
model p r o g r a m s " before it
submits any proposals. The
committee is also seeking input
from the faculty, and membership is open to any interested
faculty member.
Mrs. Salzer, a g u i d a n c e
counselor and a member of the
committee, said that the committee was not formed with any
specific curriculum changes in
mind. She said that it was formed
to receive ideas about programs'
and teaching methods, and to act
as a "clearing house and study
group" for those ideas. She
continued to say that the committee asked two questions when
it was formed, "1) What are the
current
strengths
and
weaknesses in the Schreiber
curriculum?, 2) Where will, and
should, the curriculum be in five

NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD WEEK
Hard-Working H.R.C.
by L a u r a
Vecsey
The Human Relations Committee is a hard working group. It
consists of faculty members
Faith Cleary Mr. BerryJohn
Cahill, Beatrice Lawrence, Kay
Stewart, Harriette Gold, Verdell
Mines, Frank Bant) who come
together to b r i n g to light the
tensions
between
different
groups with in Schreiber. There
are confirmed hostilities in
Schreiber, which is no different
from other schools on Long
Island, in the nation for that
matter. The difference here is
that things are being done to
relieve these tensions and results
of the Committee's efforts are
steadily filtering into Schreiber
Life.
The first event inspired by the
Committee was Celebration '78.
This successful celebration of
winter and all its festivities was
an event outlined by the Committee. Students were then i n vited to assist in c l a r i t y m g ideas
to be represented in the celebration.
February 26 through March
2nd was National Brotherhood
Week and preparation for the
week was vextensive?.
"The
wanted result of the week was a
raised conscious level amongst
students about Brotherhood, "
stated John Cahill. "Awareness;
many ethnic racial, and religious
groups are in this school,
continued Ms. Stewart. "Diversity is a richness rather than a
barrier."
D r . L e r o y R a m s e y , Chief
Administrator for Intercultural
Relations in the State of New
York, set the mood for the week
with his speech. The following
days were filled with opportunities to view the many films
ordered especially for Brother-
hood Week and presentations by
T.E.S.L. students and the Panel
of Americans.
On a larger and more longterm scale, the most important
offshoot of the H.R. Committee
has been the planning of what has
come to be termed as " P l u r a l istic Education'.' As mentioned
before, the increased surfacing of
aggression amongst people in
Schreiber has prompted serious
c o n s i d e r a t i o n about how to
relieve hostilities.
To word i t as appropriately as
possible, Pluralistic E^ducatioii
seeks to illuminate each individual's identity.. Parallel to
Illumination is respect for this
indentity. Respect is the key
word because as one is aware and
respectful of one's own unique
identity, one can more easily
respect the unique identities of
others. This ^ e m s to be the
foundational theory of the H.R.
Committee.
The Panel of Americans made
their first appearance during
Brotherhood Week after weeks of
preparation. Laura Ullman,
Marc Torpey, Toby Willner, and
Cara Calvelli are the panel
members who received traihing
through the National Conference
of Christians and Je\ys.
This training included group
dynamics exercises and roleplaying ir h y p o t h e t i c a l ituations.
The
Panel
members
were
provoked to identify their ethnic,
religious, and racial backgrounds'
and examined how these elements had influenced their lives.
Their presentations were based
on these examinations.
The concensus among the panel
members is that these examinations have created stronger selfimages.
The first Panel presentation
was held before a selected group
of students, faculty and community members. This was to
ensure a receptive audience for
the first run through. Students
selected to hear this presentation
were considered for their possible future involvement in the
events of the H.R. Committee.
After the Panel's remarks, the
audience was asked to open up
with comments and or questions.
Some students seemed to be
confused. G.O. President John
B i f o f f and G.O. Rep. Shep
Englander questioned the extent
ol purpose, and the specific goals
of the Panel and the H.R. Comm i t t e e . The Panel and the
Committee were quick to clarify
their position, assuring that the
eoals were realistic. The impact
of the Panel is not going to be
tremendous and far-reaching in a
clearly visible way. Rather, its
effect w i l l be subtle, but in this
subtlety changes can occur. The
goal, as stated before, is awarness and respect of one's racial,
ethnic, and religious idenity and
respect for others' identities.
More outlets for Pluralistic
Education are being sought. Dr.
Irving Levine, a representative
f r o m the A m e r i c a n J e w i s h
Committee, has already trained

Discuss Problems
B y D a v i d Haar and Ellie Manko
On Thursday, March 1, at 8:00
p.m. the Community Relations
Council held a meeting at Sousa
Junior High School, in conjunction with the leaders from
the religious, civic, and social
organizations of the community.
Among those present were Hugh
McGuigan
Superintendent
Schools, D r . Berkowitz, Assistant
Superintendent, M r . Banta,
Schreiber's
principal, Mrs.
Ullman, head of the Parentteachers association, and many
other educational heads.
The panel was formed in order
to work on eliminating prejudice
in the community, which has
been seen particularly in the
schools. Mrs. Enid Hawthorne,
the chairperson of the C.R.C.,
opened the meeting by saying the
goal of the C. R .C. is to develop an
awareness that problems do exist
and get the leaders to prevent
them in the future. This particular evening was dedicated to
discussing inter-group relations
for more awareness in the community.
M r . McGuigan, in his speech to
the over 100 participants, emphasized that the problem was
not a new one, but there has recently been a resurgence of
racial slurs. He explained as a
result of this, new courses and
class structure have been introduced on all levels in an attempt to reduce the problem. He
stated that "students are frust r a t e d . " He went on to explain
that if anyone is caught participating in any bigoted action,
the administration w i l l enforce
the necessary disciplinary action, but he also explainedthat he
will not violate their rights.
" H u m a n freedom must never be
a b r i d g e d i n order to cure
problems." When you "neglect
rights of others without proper
proof" you cause new ones.
"Rules of propriety have got to be
adhered t o . "
McGuigan also told the participants that some of the acts
that had been committed in the
schools were the painting of
swastikas on school buildings and
the defacement of some student's
election posters with ethnic slurs
including anti semetic and antioriental remarks.
After several speeches, a few
short films on prejudice were
presented
by
the
AntiDefamation League. Following
this came what is known as a
"dialogue". The dialogue consisted of members of the community
a i r i n g views,
and
proposing things to be done.
Among those to speak was Mr.
Banta. M r . Banta spoke of the
Hunold Pharmacy
success of Celebration '78 and of
how high the spirits were among
them. He also said that the
Brotherhood Week he had prepared for was designed for the
purpose of creating a better
c l i m a t e . Joe M a r r o
asked
whether the workshops (Panel of
Americans) which consisted of
"positive people" are getting to
the problem?" " I f you only go to
positive people, the workshops
will w o r k ? "
The few students that were
there spoke out too. Michele
Nehlson, a Schreiber junior, said
that people must begin to realize
that they're not the only ones
hurt. She explained that the
young people at school must have
workshops and have models to
follow. Jack Ives, who attends,
E . A . C, told the meeting that kids
are a common factor in the community and since it was kids that
painted swastikas on buildings, i t
is the kids that the adults must
listen to. Billy Burgess, a former
Schreiber student, said that
people must go into the community to find out the problems.
He also wanted to know, " w h a t
happened " to Phil Rich, who was
an outreach worker at Schreiber
last year. " H e was doing something."
McGuigan also stated the point
that the school system has the
children for six hours per day, in
the remaining 18 hours the
development is up to the parents.
The school system can only do so
much and the rest is influenced
from the home. Mrs. Ullman explained, " t h e attitudes at home
have the most importance."
Many of the child's attitudes are
formed at home and even t r i v i al
comments or jokes can be taken
seriously.
By the end of the meeting it was
evident that action must be
taken. The participants began
giving positive suggestions for
helping to ease the present
problems, including small groups
for discussion, interfaith panels,
special events opened up to the
whole community, and jobs for
the children. Mel Cooperman,
The Long Island Anti-Defamation
League director, added that the
meeting was a success, that a
dialogue had been started and
that was good.

Susan B. Anthony Day
Susan B. Anthony, a leader in the woman's equal rights movement, was celebrated
on March 15, 1979. Her birthday was a national holiday and in honor of her work, her
portrait will be placed on the obverse of the new, small sized dollar coin. Schreiber High
School, under the leadership of Ms. Dufour's group. The Roles of Women, filled the day
with a series of programs. They ranged from speakers to panels, singing and films, and
covered many different aspects of women and equal rights.
The events were open for students to attend as a class or individually during free or
class time. The attendance of most events was high and much of the school was involved.
The Roles of Women group, an extracurricular activity, worked for months to set up
the day. Those actively involved include Olga Dufour, faculty advisor, Lynne Gottlieb,
Barbara Holisher, Wendy Fine, Ilene Debel, Carolyn Pomerantz, Martha Flanagan,
Nancy Werter, Denise Daucher and Meryl Hershman.

Songs About Women
C h a n g i n g Roles o f M e n
Mich a el D'In n o n c e n z o
Mr. Michael D'Innoncenzo from the Social Studies / History Department of Hofstra
University, spoke about the changing roles of men, during mods 5 and 6. Mr. D'Innoncenzo opened his talk with the statement, "Anatomy is Destiny" from Sigmund
Freud. He said that function must not follow form and that anatomy isn't binding on
behavior. In other words, Mr. D'Innoncenzo challenged the old notion that a woman
IS not a woman unless she has a baby. He asked if it had to be that the goal of every
woman is to get married, and of every man, to avoid getting married.
As proof for this thesis, Mr. D'Innoncenzo told the audience about an experiment
conducted in a hospital maternity ward. In the experiment, all the baby girls were
given blue bracelets, and all the boys, pink ones. Then, people were asked what they
thought of the babies. The boys, in pink bracelets, were called pretty, cute and
lovable. The girls, in blue bracelets, were called tough, "macho,'
and domineering-looking.
Mr. D'Innoncenzo traced sexism as far bak as the Bible, in which, he said, the
entire fall of m a n was the fault of Eve, the woman temptress. He said that Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, a good friend of Susan B. Anthony, wrote a revised Bible, which
stated, among other things, that God created Eve, and gave Adam a "partner,"
rather than a "helpmate."
Mr. D'Innoncenzo went on to say that men have paid a price for their "so-called
superiority." Mr. D'Innoncenzo said that the "Masculine Mystique" is killing many
men, among them absentee fathers who don't know their children because they are
always away working "for the children." He said that men are constanUy competing for status or power or recognition. In return, men live seven to eight years
less than women and have more hypertension, cardiac arrests and ulcers. Because
of their inability to express themselves emotionally, Mr. D'Innoncenzo called
American males "the most emotionally constipated men in the world.''

by A d a m So k olo f f
Karen Dufour
During mods 3 and 4 Karen Dufour.who graduated from Schreiber in 1977, filled
the auditorium with the sounds of her voice and guitar as she sang songs t>y and
about women. Miss Dufour began her repertoire with a selection of songs composed
by Joan Baez concerning themes of women. She went on to sing songs written by a
woman's labor union leader and also a song by Woodie Guthrie, a labor unionist of
the depression years.
Th e F e m i n i s t Pre ss
Two members of the Feminist Press presented a life history of two courageous
coworkers: Susan B. Anthony and Cady Stanton, through their writing. In their fiftyone year career together they complemented each other's talents, but their
backgrounds were vastly different. Anthony, the younger of the two, was brought up
in a family that practised Quaker Egalitarianism. In fact, she met Cady Stanton at a
Seneca Falls Women's Suffrage Conference that her family attended in 1848.
Stanton's father had wanted a son and regarded Stanton's considerable accomplishments as frivolous. A year after they met, Anthony and Stanton joined
forces. Anthony as the strategist and Stanton as the intellectual, they covered
thousands of miles in door to door petition campaigns in support for women's suffrage, dress reform, liberalization of divorce laws, black civil rights, equal pay, and
increased work opportunities for women. Yet Anthony, who considered marriage
and childbearing to be restricting, had to prod Stanton, who married and bore seven
children, to write the prose that won people's support.
Billie Je a n King
During~^mods 5 and 6, a film on Billie Jean King was shown in the Little Theater
before a considerable number of people. The movie showed Billie Jean King playing
and discussing tennis, the sport in which she was the first woman to win 100,000
dollars in a year's competition. Billy Jean King has won 37 national tennis titles,
including ten Wimbledon titles. Billie Jean says in the movie that being a perfectionist "makes her tick." She is well known for letting her emotions show on the
court, by gesturing and talking to herself.
B a b es a n d Banners
"Babies and Banners", was a film, shown in the Little Theatre Mod 16, about the
women involved with the General Motors Strike in 1937. The women in the film
talked about their poor factory conditions and their jobs on the assembly line. The
film then centered on the actual roles (rf the women during the strike. The majcHity
were sent away from the factory during this time because of the dangers involved
with a strike. The male workers presumed that the women were not strong enough to
take an active stand in the protest, however, the women cared for the workers'
children and made meals for the strikers. The male prejudice against women during
such a time of stress was shown. The women were kept in the background, rather
than being allowed to play major roles in the union's demonstrations.
At 10:35, I went to the program entitled: How the Changing Roles of Women Have
Affected Me as .a Male? This program consisted of ten panelists; male teachers from
various departments in Schreiber. The panelists were: Mr. B r o z a (English), Mr.
Kovach (Social Studies), Mr. Whitney (Dean of students), Mr. Rothman (Biology), Mr.
Dreyfuss (S.S.), Mr. Hamburger (Eng.), Dr. Goutevenir (Physics), Mr. Begun (S.S.),
and Dr. Israel (electronics(.
The program began with the moderator, Meryl Hirshman, asking the question,
"How have feminist oriented attitudes affected your own sense of self-worth?"
The answers "were mostly the same, with the only problem being to understand the
question. It s e e m ^ to me, and apparently to the panel also, that the questions were
very vague, and incorrectly phrased. However, once this problem was resolved, the
responses c a m e more freely. One response c a m e from Dr. Goutevenir. He stated that
his "self-worth" has remained the same, yet the change has affected his actions, "Because my wife works, I've had to learn to cook a little, and since I get home before her, 1
sometimes have to make dinner. I also feel that it has enabled my wife and I to obtain
an even closer relationship and understanding than before.""
Another interesting response c a m e from Mr. Albert. He stated that previously he had
always felt more important than his wife, basing it on the fact that he brought home
twice as much money in the family earnings. "I now realize that money is not the only
way to evaluate one's self-worth. I became a teacher because I like the job, and my
family has suffered, economically, ever since. Yet this does not devaluate one's selfworth. I fell that I have changed tremendously in this way of thinking."
Next a question c a m e from the floor. "What would you do if your wife was offered a
j o b in Washington D C , paying twice the amount of money she is receiving now?"
One response came from Mr. Kovach. He explained how he had experienced a similar problem in his life. He had been in Minneapolis when his fiancee was offered a job in
New York. "We had to make the decision together. We wanted to get married and she
wanted to take the job. So we moved here and we've been here ever since."
I personally thought that Dr. Israel stated it best when he said, "Of course I would
want her to go. There would have to be a mutual decision made. Either she would com
mute on weekends, or if I could find something I liked and wanted, we'd go". He also
added, "the salary doesn't even matter. It's the question if she wanted to go."
There were a few more questions, the last of which asked what the panelists thought
of the "two bread-winner or "two'head of the household" system. Most agreed that the
single head of the house system and breadwinner was archaic. They said there was no
meaning to the head of the house cliche. They also felt that both sides making money
was good and will be seen constantly in the future. Perhaps Mr. Hamburger stated it
well when he said, "The more money the better." However one panelist brought up a
good point. Mr. Rothman felt that the children were the most important factor. He said
that until the child was old enough to understand things, that it m a d e for a much healthier atmosphere for one parent to remain at home with the child. He did not specify
which parent, but said that he knew his wife would be better at raising a child, however,
if the economics of it were right, he would indeed like to try.
All in all, the program was indeed a success. However, I felt that the panelists werea
bit intimidated by the crowd and the moderator. Perhaps the whole idea of Susan B.
Anthony Day and Women's Lib, hindered their responses a bit. I think that Mr. Whitney
put it well when he said what he felt. "I've always thought of a woman 3 S being very
special." Call it sexist, call it sympathetic, but I agree<hat's just the way it is.

•Dr. K e i s i w r
Dr. Keisner, a psychologist from New York University came to talk on the effects
of the women's movement on men. Dr. Keisner said that men should take an active
role in the women's movement, instead of a passive one. He said that men are also
victims of sexual discrimination, and could benefit from the women's movement.
The rest of the talk focused on the effect of stereotyping on men. The main themes
that he dealt with were "no sissy stuff," "be the big wheel" and "give 'em hell." He
showed how these attitudes affect men. Boys go through life with a fear of being
called a sissy. They feel they must be masculine to be accepted, and thev feel
threatened by women. Dr. Keisner showed how these boys are in more trouble in
school because when they are young they are taught to run around and have fun. So,
when they go to school they have trouble adjusting. The "Be a big wheel" stereotype
puts pressure on the male to be successful and the "Give 'em hell" theme is very
evident in sports. All the themese put the women and men farther and farther apart.
Dr. Keisner end his talk by stating that men and women should try to be androgenous, combining the "best of both worlds."
Careers For Women
The four women who discussed careers for women in the auditorium all had the
same basic themes: women have been a down-trodden part of the working force;
few women hold decision-making jobs.

Ms. Arlene Schlissel, a professional career counselor said that some women do not
realize the opportunities open to them. "Aim for the top," she said. She expressed
that recognizing that a person must recognize both male and female job opportrtunities from within. You must know your talents and believe in yourself.
Sex u a l Assaul t Discussed
Ms. Nancy Lynn, Deputy Project Director of Treatment Alternatives to Street
Crime, spoke frankly and adeptly about sexual assault. She defined the felonies
(rape and sodomy) and the misdemeanors (sexual misconduct and sexual abuse).
She emphasized that sex should be a mutually voluntary experience. Never should a
partner be forced to accept the wishes of another. She revealed that most rapists
know the victim personally. These victims are afraid and shocked so that they
refuse to seek professional help. They carry a psychological scar for lif^ if they are
not assisted immediately after the incident. She urged the audience to realize how
difficult it is for rapists to be convicted or indicted or even arrested. Thus, every
rape should be reported to enable women's rights to be upheld, after years of male
insistence that women provoke rape.

SUS A N B. W H O ?
Susan B. Anthony day was a success as far as attendance goes, but the question
bouncing off the walls of Schreiber all week was, who is Susan Anthony? I decided
to take up this question with some of the students. The first person I asked, a senior,
and a male, replied, "Susan B. Anthony ... I know, a graduate of Schreiber." Many
replied with 'I have no idea." It was sad to see that so many students that I asked
had no awareness of Susan B. Anthony's existence or her accomplishments. One
student replied, "Oh, did she die?" Susan B. Anthony was an important founder of
the spirit to fight for womens rights. She was instrumental in getting the vote for
women and a woman who gave a great deal of her life to the cause of equal rights. So
much can be heard now of rights. Student's rights, teacher's rights, children's
rights, minority rights, yet this woman who was so important to the enforcement of
equality in the United States is forgotten by too many. But, luckily not everyone has
forgotten Susan B. Anthony. Many helped to put together Susan B. Anthony day and
the day was well organized and interesting. The problem is in those who don't know
who she was, in those who say after learning that Susan B. Anthony was a suffragette, "Suffragette - isn't that a song ...?"
I
M s. H i n k l a y
It was evident that the females in the audience showed a lot more interest in the
program than the males. Ms. Hinkley, from the N.Y. State Department of Labor,
said males should not be hostile towards women's rights. "Men should be enriched
by women's rights; It's not a personal attack."
W omen a n d Art
For a sizable group of interested students, art teacher Warren Hurley presented a
film on the life and work of woman artist Mary Cassatt in the Little Theatre mods 1314. Mary Cassatt was an American impressionist painter of the laste 19th and early
20th centuries. Finding no recognition or inspiration because of the lack of quality
painting in the States. Cassatt relocated to Paris, France, to further her career as an
artist. She bore an intense dislike for conventional art and admired the great French
impressionists, especially Courbet, Manet and Degas, with whom she had a close
relationship. Her own work reflected agreement with their' impressionist aims.
Cassatt was a determined and unique women of her times and was responsibile for
the impressionist era in the United States, although fellow_Americans did not appreciate her work affirst. In support of woman suffrage, she wanted to have an
exhibition of her work in New York.
Cassatt's paintings are beautiful, soft and gentle. Her family modeled for her
often and the Mother and Child theme were a strong favorite. For these she created
stunning renditions of intimate, deep and profound relationships always maintaining the simple qualities of children. .
She developed the dry point drawing technique and then went on to print work with
dry point and aquatint. Her prints are Considered among her finest works.
After the film, Mr. Hurley talked for a short while on other women artists
revealing that we live in a male art world which is only now beginning to recognize
women as artists. He mentioned that until 1973 the Whitney Museum in New York,
which displays 20th century American art, had no women art works on permanent
show. It was only when women artists picketed at the museum that a collection of
female art work began.
The meeting proved to be interesting and informative to a number of students who
were unaware of the women in art.
Sexist Textbooks
"Dick and Jane as Victims," a slide show produced by Women on Words and
Images that discussed stereotypes in childrens' reading books, was shown by Mrs.
Lipset in the reading room during Mods 15-16. The slide-show concerned itself with
the belief of many feminists that school readers help to indoctrinate children about
their sex roles. The slide-show pointed to a 1972 study of 132 books that had 1147
stories about males to 495 stories about females, to demonstrate the unequal
treatment given to the sexes.
According to the slide-show, over the years, childrens' reading textbooks have
expressed definite stereotypes about the roles children of different sexes are supposed to play. Books that show active boys compared to passive girls are common.
Boys need to be good in sports. They are smart, brave, inventive, unemotional and
good sports when they lose. They alsofeceive recognition for their achievements.
Girls on the other hand, are shown looking on at their active male counterparts, and
working around the house. They do not compete with boys in physical activities,
never do a project on their own, but can only help out the boys. Girls are shown to be
stupid, emotional, clumsy, vain and lacking perseverance.
The slide show went on to say that the books show children emulating adult roles
with their concern about their future. Girls would always work with the mother,
while boys would be with the father. The girls in the stories would do the cleaning
and the chores around the house. A job for a girl would enforce domestic role attitudes with girls having jobs like babysitting often being shown working for no pay.
Boys would be shown in jobs outside of the house, acting as firemen, TV directors,
etc.
Many psychologists believe that sue. ereotyping can be detrimental to the boys
as well as the girls. They claim that some boys find it hard to live up to the image
projected in the books. Also, boys can be hurt by trying to hold in their emotions and
pains as the books show the characters doing. The early stereotyping limits girls
views on themselves and their capabilities, forcing them into roles they may not fit.
The slide-show also showed how adult role models denigrate women. The mother
is shown in the books as a disciplinarian who is concerned with less essential items.
The father is physically active with the children. The mother is also shown to be

out of a tree, for example. The father has the car, and is thus mobile. The mother is
shown unable to drive. She sits in the back seat with the daughter, while the male
family members sit in the front.
Mrs. Lipset concluded the program by saying that modem readers are trying to
correct many of the stereotypes. They advocate the attitude that girls can do
anything they wish and are not limited to the house. The mother as a role model is
shown working at jobs outside of the house. The books also express the attitude that

Lesson From Wonrn'sDay
Thursday March 15 marked Schreiber's first celebration of
Susan B. Anthony Day. The members of Roles of Women, Mrs.
Dufour, and all those who helped coordinate the program should be
commended for their excellent job. The presentations were, on the
whole, very interesting, and well received by the student body.
Susan B. Anthony Day was a well organized program. The
commemoration of women and their roles was valuable for both
students and the administration. It exposed Schreiber students to
attitudes, ideas, people, and events that they would normally not
come in contact with, in an intense and enjoyable day. The
presentationsallowedstudents to have an in school educational
experience outside of the classroom. It also demonstrated that a
full day program run to instruct students about an important
person or movement can be effective and successful. In the future,
if the administration plans to commerate people, or events, as it
has recently attempted to do, it woul^ be well advised to follow the
example of Susan B. Anthony Day.

Concerned Students
A group of students have formed a committee called the Concerned Students Committee. They would like to have the use of the
front part of Schreiber High School again. The front was closed to
student use starting September of 1976 as a result of the no-loitering
ban passed by the Board of Education. That September many students participated in a 'stand-out' against, rule, however, the rule
was not changed.
The students now protesting would like to propose a trial run for
use of the front. They have already acquired a petition with over 400
students' signatures. They have appealed to the student government, are getting parental support, and have a planned speech for
the Board of Education.
If this issue is important enough for 400 students to call attention
to it, then they should be heard.
We hop>e that the board and the community will give this group of
over 400 people full consideration. The students should be commended on their desire to go about their request in an organized and
legal manner. We also would like to thank Mr. Banta for the help
and support he has given to the students.
TIMES Jesses Sympathy
Kim Dumpson, a Schreiber sophomore, died on March 9- On
behalf of the Schreiber Times, we would like to offer condolences,
and express our sympathy to her family and friends. Her loss is felt
by the entire Schreiber community.
TESL T a l ks A b o u t
E x p e r i e n c es
Six regular social studies classesparticipated i n a "Brotherhood Week"
program which took place i n the TES L
room.
Some of the comments made at the
different sessions were interesting. One
boy felt his parents would not appreciate
him bringing home a student who wasn't
typically American. Another felt that
hearing T E S L students speak Spanish,
instead of English in the halls, was
sometimes annoying, because "they
should be speaking English in this
country". These comments led to
discussion about identity, the value of
having two languages, the concept of
"mixed salad" or "savory stew" versus
the "melting pot" theory. Mrs. Thymius,
a TESL teacher, mentioned how tiring i t
had been for her own son in Greece where
he was learning and speaking Greek a l l
day. I t was great for h i m to slip back to~
English with his American friends during
their free time. Americans expect others
to speak English when they go abroad.
Most people feel that i t is difficult to
bring together the two groups, TESL and
regular, because i t is difficult for people
in Schreiber to operate outside of their
own group or clique.
It was noted that TESL students
themselves had difficulty creating a
harmonious group in the beginning.
TESL students not only come from different countries, different religions and
socio-economic levels, but differ i n
academic background and ability as
well.
Nevertheless, a congenial feeling has
developed within the group over the
years. Those now in the regular program
still feel a sense of responsibility to new
arrivals and help out or come into the
resource room because they find i t a
comfortable place to do homework or
talk to friends.
During non-structured time i n the
afternoon anyone is welcome i n the
room. I f you would like to get to know
another language and culture without
having to leave Schreiber, you are
welcome to visit.

A Night
In Venice
By M a r c h 17, parents of Schreiber seniors should have received a letter from the
Gambol Committee indicating this year's
Gambol theme, " A Night in Venice, " and
jobs that must be filled in order for the
Gambol to run smoothly. Parents are
asked to volunteer for such jobs as the decorating of the g y m and construction of
sets, ticket collecting, waitresses, and
waiters, punch bowl duty, security and
clean-up.
The Gambol, an all-night dinner-dance
(10p.m.-5a.m.) which w i l l be held this year
on June 22, has traditionally been a gift to
the senior class from the parents. The
Gambol ticket is $30.00 per student, however payment for this is optional.

According to your article "New Rules
Brought on by D r i n k i ng and disorderly
Behavior" (Feb. 14, 1979) drinking and
fighting are the only two pastimes i n
which students participate.
"It's been over a year since a letter
was written criticizing the " T i m e s "
coverage of scuffles in and around the
school area. The last letter written asked
you not to print stories about fights,
seeing how these stories always brought
about another fight.
Facts should be presented as facts.
Obviously the person(s) who wrote this
article didn't question any of the participants i n the fight.
Fighting erupted between two people.
Friends of these involved tried to help
out. Both groups stopped fighting in the
Gymnasium, and went outside to discuss
their differences. These series of talks
settled things.
Your Scandal Sheet has blown this
encounter out of proportion. Fighting
isn't the reason for the 'end" of the
school. I f articles of this type were
eliminated, people wouldn't be reminded
of an incident which happened three
weeks earlier. I hope that in the future
your staff w i l l be able to differentiate
between fact and fiction and won't print
an article potentially harmful to not just
a few people, but the whole school
population.

week several classes in our
school were brought to room 7,
the T.E.S.L. room, in order to
learn more about the problems
immigrants face when first
entering the United States.
For those students who didn't
have a chance to sit in on one of
these discussions, I would like to
explain briefly what T.E.S.L. is
all about.
Can you imagine being a student in a new country, not being
able to speak the language, and
having no one to identify with.
This is one of the reasons the
T.E.S.L. program was started in
1969.
T.E.S.L. stands for Teaching
English as a Second Language.
On paper T.E.S.L. is formally
supposed to help new students
from a foreign country learn the
English Language quickly, in
order to start attending regularly
scheduled classes.
Actually, T.E.S.L. means more
to the new student than just
learning English. It gives that
student the opportunity to meet
other students wild went through
the same problems as that
student has, because all T.E.S.L.
students went through the experience of being in a new environment totally different from
that of their mother country. It
also gives that new student a
chance to be taught by teachers
who are experienced in teaching
new students and know what that
new student is going through.
Last, on behalf of the T.E.S.L.
faculty, and students, I would like
to thank Miss Stewart as well as
all the other social studies teachers who brought their classes into
the T.E.S.L. room, and therefore
let more students in our school
know more about who we are,
and what we stand for.

We would like to formally
congratulate Olga Dufour and all
of the students who worked with
her on planning the Susan B.
Anthony Day at Schreiber High
School.
The program, which ran the
full day, with more than one
activity to choose from on most
hours, was noteworthy for its
variety as well as its lively,
provocative presentations. It was
especially gratifying to our
committee to see the large
number of students and faculty
who attended these sessions.
Throughout the day, there was an
excitement present sparked by
the exploration of issues and
exchange of ideas concerning the
changing roles of women and
men in our society.
We hope that the enthusiasm
generated by this day will lead to
continued discussions in the

(by faculty, etc.) had been invited, and there was a great deal
of positive input.
Out of that discussion came
some ideas. A lot of the hate in
this school is senseless and
irrationally directed. For instance, hating a person just
because he's associated with a
particular group is insane. A
more rational approach would be
to know the person well enough to
'orm an opinion before any
judgments are made., some
other ideas also centered on the
concept of cliqueness (where
people only associate with their
group)? You could go through
three years knowing only the
thirty or 40 people in your clique.
But then where would you be?
Right where you were three
years ago hindered by the same
narrow - minded ideas as you
entered high school with. It was
suggested that people expand
their minds by being exposed to
things which they are not used to.
All these things are well and good
and represent a step forward
although they are directed
towards others. Another idea
came out: the first step in
erradicating irrational predjudice is to start with yourself..
Election Rules
Discussed
On Thursday, February 15, the
Government meeting was held
mainly to discuss and vote on the
election procedures for this yeai's
election. The meeting was held in
the cafeteria at 3:30 p.m. and 23
members attended.
Before the issue of elect
procedure began, a question was
raised whether or not 23 people
can vote for the whole student
government. Mr. Cahill, faculty
advisor, said that it was okay
because they represented 10% of
the organization.
John Bikoff, president, then
proceeded to hand out a written
proposal which was made last
year by the newly elected officers. It was re-discussed this
year and revised three times with
the suggestions
administrators, Mr. Banta and Mr.
Cahill.
It was proposed that there
should be three voting machines
used in the election one for each
grade. The cost would be a total
of $60. The proposal was accepted.
John Bikoff then asked if there
were any objections to the
proposal that was drawn up and
handed out. Nancy Kahn
proposed that freshmen at Sousa
and Weber be allowed to vote.
The proposal was overridden.
Greg
Bellon
wanted
clarification on ' write- in' candidates and John Bikoff explained that they can make no
speeches in the auditorium, they
will not be endorsed by the
student government but they will
be allotted space to hang there
posters and they may participate
in debates. Mr. Cahill added, that
by being an endorsed candidate
you have, "a better edge." As for
the write-ins he said, "you cannot
deny them the chance to run, but
the G.O. will not encourage and
support them."
John Bikoff further clarified
the issue by stating that you do
not have to be a G.O. member in
order to get G.O. endorsement,
although hopefully the G.O. will
endorse only its members.
A special committee will be
used to keep the rules of the
election in order. This committee
will include Mr. Banta.
Shep Englander proposed that
in addition to the 200 flyers
provided by the G.O., a candidate
should be allowed to have 1000
made privately. The vote was
accepted.
The meeting ended at 4:25. The
election procedures may be
obtained in the office. The
following schedule was given by
John Bikoff on the election:
Nomination Meeting - Tuesday,
March 20.
Endorsement Meeting
Thursday, April 5.
Campaign Week - Monday Friday, April 23-27.
Election "Day - Friday. April 27.
^ Whoever saw Schreiber's Forty-Ninth Annual Concert at Webg er on March 10, saw a treat. The
evening featured performances
by the Schreiber High School
band, the stage band, and two
solo performances, as well as
specific solo instrumentals. William Fish conducted the band and
Robert Borkowski led the Stage
Band. Van Zandt Ellis
accompanied the two soloists,
Dorothy Meyer on clarinet and
Use Stalls on French Horn.
The evening started off well
with Belsterling's "March of the
Steel Men". The lower brass
sounded particularly good in the
beginning. The piece featured a
quartet of trumpet players and a
quartet of trombone players who
handled their parts well except
for the trumpet players at the
very end who had difficulty
descending intervals.
The next piece was pleasure to
hear. The group did a good job on
Nelhykel's "Estampie." This
piece began with a complicated,
intricate ryhthm by the percussion players. The clarinets' intonation was superlative and their
'conversation' with the trumpets
was precise. This fugue-like composition was certainly done justice by the band.
and concert band was formed by
Don Muro in "Badlands Overture". If this is the music of the
future, I pity my children. Christopher Paterson played his
synthesizer, yet if I had not been
told that that was what he was
playing, I would have sworn he
was playing a regular organ. The
synthesizer did not vibrate or
pulse or sound like anything that
one associates with this electronic instrument. Technically
speaking, this was fine. There
was good tension between the
featured instrument and the rest
of the band, and the oboe was also
nice. This was not my favorite
piece of the evening.
Dorothy Meyer lulled the audience with Von Weber's "Second
Concerto for Qarinet", 1st Movement. Miss Meyer's interpretation of the concerto was wonderful. Aside from a few awkward notes, she delt with difficult
arpeggios with great skill. Her
solo was very well received by
the audience.
The band conquered a monumental piece when they played
Tchaikowsky's "March Slave".
This majestic sounding work
seemed to present no problem to
the band. They went through it
with alacrity and ease. Except
for two spots when the oboe and
flute came apart and in the finale
the trumpets didn't emphasize
their ascending scale, the piece
sounded fine.
After the intermission, the
stage band opened the second
half with a Beatles tune, "Norwegian Wood". This was followed
by Nordal's "Suncatchers" and
Levitt's "Speedway". All the
numbers were tight and swung
nicely. On "Norwegian Wood",
Dorothy Meyer's sax solo was
good but too quiet. Three musicians soloed on "Suncatchers";
Ares Michaelides composed his
own trumpet solo which was
sharp and clear, Graham
Wiggins on the piano was swift
and nice, and finally Joe DeMeo
on guitar who did not do anything
special, and did not do it loud
enough. The stage band's last
piece was "Speedway". It
allowed Kenzie Keyes to show off
her trumpet playing and did the
same for Robert Borkowski on
his sax.
The group that meets every
Wednesday after school in the
math resource center has been
mistaken for a sect of meditators
or hypnotists, but it's actually the
chess team. Through the use of
intensive concentration-which
sometimes appears hypnotic-the
starting team has notched a
somewhat disappointing record
of one win and two losses. The
wood-pushers still have many
matches left to improve their
status and keep aloft the banner
of last year's team, which
finished third in the Nassau
County Championships.
Port initiated its season on
December 21 with a clear-cut 1812 victory over Roslyn. At the
helm of Port's surge to success
were the winning efforts of
second board player Marc Craig,
sophomore Cass Patrick on third
board, and David Scher on fifth
Board.
Thirsting for more success at
the expense of Mineola on
January 24, Port was to go
unrewarded. With Port's strong
man Nelson Farber on first board
not on hand, their play seemed to
sag in spirit and quality. As a
result. Port could muster only
one victory, that one belonging to
Marc Craig.
Port's next confrontation
against a formidable Syosset
team on February 14 forced them
to dig deep into their energy
reserves. Although these arch
rivals have always been on
friendly terms, their competitiveness over the board tends
towards the fierce. Unfortunately, after a grueling two
and a half hours of intense chess,
Port's corps had come up slightly
short, suffering a tough -16
loss. Playing in fine form was
Neslon Farber, who started out
with a sluggish position, but
fought back with superb end
game play to drive home the

Students participating in the
computer contest have found that
their knowledge of computer pro-?
gramming can bring them fame
and a subscription to Creative
Computing. The results from the
first computer contest are in.
Eddie Knizewski and sophmore
John Somoza are first in their
categories and have won a subscription to Creative Computing.
Mike Kolodny won second prize
in his category, winning a
computer book. Tom Heyman
was third for his effort.
There are two categories in this
contest. The first was for
students who have been pro-
gramming for more than
twelve months. They had to
design and use a program that
could determine the number of
times a letter could be found in a
paragraph of more than 2000
letters. They then had tofindout
how many times each letter and
number appeared in that
paragraph.
They were judged, by Mr.
Lyman, on their speed and the
length of their program.
The second category was for
students in their first year of
programming. They had to simulate the tossing of 100 pennies 500
times and determine fhe number
of heads each time. This information was then placed on a bar
graph.
Eddie Knizewski winner in the
first category said about his winning program, "It takes a lot
of imagination to make a program, you cannot write down the
first thing you think of."
This was the first computer
contest for this year. The second
will be ending soon. While the
first contest was judged on efficiency at a predetermined task,
the second contest will be judged
on originality and creativity,
among other criteria. . . ,
The four trombones who played
for the stage band were featured
in the "The Toy Trombone" by
Warren Covington which was
composed for trombone Quartet
and Band. This piece reminded
me of cartoon music and hopefully will not go down in concert
band history. Although the
performers handled the piece
very well, it was not the highlight
of the evening.
The next soloist, however,
could very well have been the
highlight of the evening. Use
Stalls played Camill Saint-Saens'
"Concert Piece, 1st Movement"
on French Horn accompanied by
Van Zandt Elhs on Piano. Miss
Stalls did a marvelous job on her
solo. It was an allegro piece that
was played with superlative technical quality and tone. The entire
audience came alive after the
end of the solo which they enjoyed so much.
Miss Stalls' performance was
Questions for the Current
Events contest were posted in the
social studies resource center for
the first time during the week of
February 26. The contest will
continue until June and is open to
all Schreiber students.
Ever>' Tuesday a new quiz will
be posted on the bulletin board
and at the closing of the week five
names will be drawn from the
box of quizes. When five totally
correct quizes are drawn each of
the chosen participants will receive a point. In June, the person
who has acquired the most points
will receive two tickets to the
June 13 'Yes' concert at
Madison Square Garden. There
will also be three runners-up, who
will receive one ticket as a prize.
The first week's five winners
were Robin Oakes, George Godfrey, Lynne Gottlieb, Tim
Chanaud, and John Stigi.
Mrs. Travis, who also teaches a
class called Now News, feels that
it is very important that students
are aware of the world around
them. She organized the current
events activity in hope of encouraging students to concern
themselves with important world
issues. According to Mrs. Travis,
the response to this new activity
has been admirable. She has
already observed an increase of
the use of resource center news
materials and hopes that this
increase will continue.
If enough students get involved
in current events, Mrs. Travis
would like to see related activities such as a debating team or
a model UN started.
The winners of the second week
were: George Godfrey, Lynne
Gottlieb, Tim Chanaud, John
Stigi and Douglas Seibold. The
third week's winners were
George Godfrey, Tim Chanaud
and Douglas Seibold.

Intramural Volleyball Begins
The Intramural volley ball
programme started on February
25, with twenty-two teams signed
up. The programme had been
discontinued for a while, but was
rescheduled by Mr. Winter, who
thought that it would get a
sizeable response. The response
was sizeable and Mr. Winter
hoped that the programme would
be made a success. The twenty
two teams were divided into
three divisions. Each division has
not played the same amount of
games. So far. Division I and
Division III have played the most
games.
Mr. Winter, when asked about
the programme, replied in a
discouraged tone, "I am very
discouraged with all the forfeits.
This p r o g r a m m e has been
brought in after a long time, and
the response was very good. I
think that the teams should have
some responsibility. If they sign
up for it, they should have enough
responsibility to show up and
take part in it. It discourages the
other teams and takes out all the
fun from the p r o g r a m m e . "

March 18.
Tina Mazur, Sports Night
Advisor, says "I'd like to thank
all the girls for their sincere
effort and dedication. Despite the
problems we have encountered,
the unification of both teams will
make March 24th a night we'll
always remember "
Sports Night requires much
hard work from its participants
The rivalry and competition be
tween the teams is greatly accentuated, but always friendly.
In fact, most of the Sports Night
participants
value
the
togetherness of the enUre team
more than anything else.
Working together so hard for so
long, a closeness is developed
among the girls.
