Three Enter Latin Contest

Competition Sponsored By Eta Sigma Chi

The Port Washington High School was one of forty secondary schools entering teams or individual con-testants i n the Second Annual I n -terscholastic Lat in Sight-R«ading Contest at Washington Square Col-lege, New York University, Saturday morning, Apr i l 4. The school was represented by Barbara Stimson, Glen Kilner, and Rita Hennessy, third and fourth year Latin stu-dents.

The contest was sponsored by the Alpha Zeta Chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, honorary classics fraternity at the college. Dr. Catherine R. Smith, faculty adviser to Eta Sigma Phi was chairman of the contest com-mittee.

Lat in Prose Test Competition again consisted of an

examination in Lat in prose of the type of Caesar for students in their second year of High School Latin. The examination for third or fourth year students was in Lat in prose of the grade of Cicero and Vergil. Members of Eta Sigma Phi judged the contest.

Gold, silver, and bronze medals wi l l be awarded to the three indi -vidual scorers in each group in or-der of merit. Last year, because the three toest papers i n the Cicero-Ver-gil division were graded within one point of one another, three gold medals instead of one were award-ed in that section of the contest.

The highest ranking team in each division on Apr i l 4 wi l l receive a bronze urn bearing the name of Henry Martyn Baird, for nearly fifty years professor of classics at New York University .until his death in 1906. The team trophies must be won three times, not necessarily in succession, for permanent posses-sion.

Last Year's Winners Last year the team awards were

captured by Townsend Harris High School of Manhattan in the Caesar division and by Erasmus Hall High School of Brooklyn, New York, in the Cicero-Vergil division.

Individual prizes last year were won by the following students: I n the Caesar group gold medal: Clara Cohen, Great Neck; silver medal: Joseph Sinopoli, Yonkers: bronze medal: Stanley Kaplan, James Mad-ison High School, Brooklyn. The awards for the Cicero-Vergil people included gold medals for Howard Hausman, Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn; Mir iam Heller, Hunter College High School, Man-hattan; Robert Karpen, Lynbrook High School; silver medal: Robert G^rdy, George Washington High School, Manhattan; bronze medal: Florence Williams, Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn.

With the school closing its doors for the holidays, most of the boys and girls wi l l probably And plenty of time during vacation to do a bit of practising. Any amount of layoff in any sport is liable to hamper one's ability, making i t necessary for one to spend a few afternoons on the baseball diamond, Lrac-i, or tennis courts. The season wi l l be in full swing after Apri l 20, when all the sports wi l l start their practise officially. Port Washington High School wi l l have a very busy time for the next two months with all sorts of activities going on after school hours and sports undoubtedly wi l l play a major part.

* * * * * A late basketball note comes in the way of the results of the foul

shooting contest sponsored by the Varsity Club. "Luchey" Bottligieri, who was leading at the outset of the tournament, was finally adjudged the victor with a score of fifteen tries made good out of a possible twenty-five. Second place was garnered by "Jake" Mahoney, who steadied his shaky knees long enough to pile up fourteen good shots out of twenty-five. Third place has not been acknowledged to anyone as yet because of a tie between six boys, necessitating a playoff to decide the th i rd place winner.

News of another indoor sport very popular in these parts comes i : . the way of a bowling team being made up of several boys in school in order to play the Glen Cove High School bowling teams. These boys have been in the habit of going to Harry Cohn's bowling alleys a few times a week and getting into form. Harry Cohn, onse champion Dowler, took i t upon himseii to coach the team, and according to hin. the boys are "pretty good." Nick Hcobbo, another well-known artist (?). appointed himself as the assistant coach and helps the team by giving them a few pointers once in a great while. There wi l l be two games played, one at Port Washington and one at Glen Cove. Here's hoping the team keeps up me old spirit and takes the Covets ror a ride.

The Sophomore B's are the favored few who not only won inter-class basketball, but wil l also receive some refreshments from those no so fortunate. It 's a peculiar thing to note that it's always a Sophomore team work or class spirit. Who was i t that said we learn as we up a team.

Another curious fact is their general inferiority of play and genera superiority of spirit. For instance, I can remember that when 1 wa, a Sophomore we won all the games, though none of us knew a fou shot from a field goal or which side of a hockey stick was which. Despite that, our class spirit always sprouted out and we were the onl>' ones who had enough to make a full team. We won games against teams composed of marvelous individuals who never had a thought fo team work or class spirit. Who was i t that saide we learn as wc mature?

At last the final of the ping-pong tournament is in view. Probably as you read this, you wil l find i t "old stuff," but the match is as ye' unplayed as we go" to press. The two finalists are Katherine Patten and Anna Mae Seaman, both very excellent players. Betting seems to be about even, but I'll put my money on Anna Mae, your pardon, M ; : Patten.
