SENIOR H I G H SCHOOL. PORT W A S H I N G T O N , LONG ISLAND. N . Y..
Today
The baseball game scheduled
to be played today between our
mighty Port High nine and
G l e n Cove's squad w i l l be contested on Seeber field at Port,
contrary to the information
contained the official schedule.
The reason for the witch in
locale of the tilt lies in the
fact that the Glen Cove diamond has been under water for
some time. Qlen Cove is thus
not only forced to play a l l
games away from home, but
has also been unable to practice on their own field. The
Port team, who administered a
decisive 8—1 defeat to Great
Neck's men, has been called
one of the most powerful
to represent our high school
in many years.
As usual the Port Weekly
w i l l be on hand, presenting a
selection of candy for the
perusal and purchase by the
students and others attending.

On Thursday, M a y 2nd, N a t i o n al Y o u t h Week was observed i n
our school.
This is the t i m e
when a l l the faculty r e t i r e for the
day and let the students take
over the j o b of r u n n i n g the
school.
This occasion originated as
Boys' Week t h r o u g h the Rotary
C l u b of New Y o r k ' C i t y i n 1920.
L a t e r the name of Boys' Week
was changed to N a t i o n a l Boys'
and G i r l s ' Week by popular demand.
This program is now recognized
by m a n y foreign countries, i n cluding
Great
Britain,
Cuba,
Mexico, Puerto Rico, China, Japan
and the countries of South A m e r ica, w h i c h proves that the s t u dents approve of the idea.
The Student Council selected
the l u c k y pupils that took over
M r . M e r r i l l ' s , M r . Schreiber's, and
M r . Allen's duties. They were:
Bob Bessell as p r i n c i p a l , W a l t e r
McQuade as superintendent, and
Jack D u f f i e l d as custodian of the
P o r t Washington H i g h School
System.
Each homeroom teacher selected a student to take his place

Obey Traffic Rules
T h e Traffic Squad of this school is a laudable organization, deserving much praise for its attempts to enforce sensible rules of conduct in our halls. However, there are a l ways a few students who will violate any rules made to make
the student body more efficient and effective. These few are
a problem for the Student Council.
When a traffic officer shouts at a fellow student, he's
not only enforcing school rules by maintaining order, but
also protecting students against accidents. I t ' s not very
difficult to be hit by a "speeder" and fall in such a manner
that may well prove injurious. A term or two ago, a girl
was hit and she fell twisting her ankle, seriously i n j u r i n g it.
T h i s type of accident is unnecessary and can be avoided.
The congestion which occurs every noon when students
go home for lunch is another factor which will sooner or later
show its effect on someone's doctor bill. Perhaps if other
than two entrances to the building were opened this accident
hazard would be greatly reduced.
Work Is Success
Whoever said that, " Y o u can't have your cake and eat i t too",
made a t r u e statement w h i c h w i l l stay i n style as long as i t exists.
Today, i t seems, people t r y t h e i r best to get as much as they k n o w
how w i t h as l i t t l e effort as possible. Because some individuals have
had l u c k at one t i m e , they hope tha t i t w i l l continue. I t never has,
never does, and never w i l l . We have to w o r k for w h a t w e get. For
people w h o have mathematical minds, we may say that t h e w o r k
one puts into something is d i r e c t l y proportiona l to w h a t one w i l l
get out of i t . Sometimes the reaction is not instantaneous, so opposers say t h a t w o r k is a waste of t i m e . When we look at success
today, either i n people or i n objects, w e w i l l see that t i m e , energy,
thought, and o r i g i n a l i t y are the basis of its creation.
Democracy, The Press
The A m e r i c a n Press is probably the most free i n the w o r l d .
Democracy is stressed i n 85 percent of a l l of the U n i t e d States'
newspapers. Of the 35,000,000 newspapers p r i n t e d d a i l y over 32,000,000 are read by men. The newspapers of the U n i t e d States t e l l us
of d a i l y happenings i n our own country and abroad. I n Germany
,'ery b i t of j i e w s t h at is w r i t t e n is censored by the government.
<- r i g i n a l l y , freedom of the press meant the r i g h t of any citizen to
t-rint and circulate any news or opinions w h i c h pleased t h e m .
I n modern times, the phrase has taken on many different colorings, ranging f r o m an assumed i m m u n i t y of a publisher, to the laws
governing ordinar y citizens, to an ideal tha t a newspaper should
strive at a l l times to be thorough, accurate, and honorable i n its
presentation of fact and opinion and open its pages to a l l comers.
I n the U n i t e d States today there are five forces w h i c h help i n
the p r i n t i n g and editing of a newspaper. They not o n l y aid i n p r i n t ing and m a k i n g the paper, but are the entire newspaper. These five
forces are as follows: the owners, the staff, the readers, the advertisers, and the publishing machines of that i n d u s t r y . As many a
famous m a n has said, "There is no freer press t h a n the America n
Press."
Because of unforseen events, the fourth in the series of
editorials on school activities will not appear this week. I t
will be continued in our next issue.

PORT J U N I O R .
" B u c k i e W a l k e r and his Master
Musicians" are composed of 13
players. The various s t a r r i ng soloists are: John S m i t h , t h a t saxophone champion of sweet and
s w i n g ; Angelo Manso, that h o t l i p p e d t r u m p e t virtuoso; D i c k
M a r t i n , that w a c k y d r u m m e r ; and
J a r v i s Adams, master of t r o m bone syncopation. D o t O'Day is
the vocalist and she croons sweet
and l o w f o r the ears of her m a n y
fans.
The band has met w i t h great
success a l l over the N o r t h Shore
and is c u r r e n t l y flushed w i t h success f r o m the E p w o r t h League
Dance.
Those "smooth,
flowing
r h y t h m s " entice audiences to sway
w i t h the music and the boys can
also "get i n the groove". They
w i l l play f o r about half an h o u r
and the rest of the t i m e , records
w i l l supply the music.
Girls! Here is your chance. The
o p p o r t u n ty that comes once i n a
l i f e t i m e . Go to the dance w i t h
w h o m you w a n t ! Show the boys
that you appreciate them. Give
them the t h r i l l of t h e i r l i f e . Don't
be bashful, y o u k n o w the boys are
so anxious to go w i t h you.
These plans are subject to
change i f the epidemic of measles
