Cents Retort Gives Demonstration Scientist Will Show Marvels Of Liquid Air The Retort, the boys' hjbncrary science club of the sChool, will pre- sent a demonstration of the marvels of liquid air on Wednesday, December 9. at 3 p. m., in the Senior High School Auditorium. The program is to be presented by Mr. John S. Sloan, A. B. Wofford College; M. A.. Duke Univer- sity; an experienced science instructor. The program is being planned to appeal to two groups. Those high school students interested in science in a technical and commercial sense will be duly addressed by Mr. Sloan. Those of the school not especially in- terested in the technifal phases of the address will be amused as w e l l as i n - structed by the many strange experi- ments that can be performed with liquid air. Mr. Sloan, formerly a science pro- fessor, has devoted the past few years of his life to the study and research of a similiar nature in twenty-two diff- erent states. Mr. Sloan has put on performances in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Biloxi, Mississippi; Mansfield, Ohio; and in West Palm Beach, Flori- da. The demonstrations have been shown in Columbia College. Georgia Tech, Emory University, and at William and Mary. Liquid Air Described Liquid air has a pale blue color, weighs almost as much as water and has the low temperature of 312 de- grees F. below zero. It is liquefied by subjecting air to a high pressure and then lowering its temperature. It is possible to perform many strange ex- periments with liquid air since many objects have peculiar reactions at very low temperatures. Liquid air will freeze a banana so hard it can be used to drive nails into a plank. I t Is pos- sible to freeze alcohol which was once thought impossible to freeze. Other novel experiments which will be pres- ented are, frying eggs on ice, freezing soap bubbles solid by holding them over an open dish of liquid air, and a host of other experiments. Tickets for the program which are fifteen cents have been on sale since Thursday and (Continued on Page 4) —o Spanish Classes Visit Museum The first of a series of trips to be taken by the Spanish classes in this school will occur when they travel into New York City on a visit to the Spanish Museum tomorrow afternoon. The trip will be taken by bus and the students will be accompanied by Mr. Predmore, Spanish instructor. Sev- eral students have signified their in- tention of staying in the city after see- ing the museum and visiting the Span- ish restaurant El Chico in Greenwich Village if the occasion permits. Span- ish music is played here and food of a Spanish nature is served. It has been observed that these visits have helped the students study Spanish cus- toms, food, and music to a better ad- vantage, and that extra-curricular trips like these have aided the student greatly in appreciating the language. The members of the working board for the school year-book, "The Port Light" have been chosen by Andrew Johnson, editor, in co-operation with Mr. Merrill, faculty advisor, this week. The editors of the book are Andrew Johnson, editor in chief; George Keates, managing editor; Michael De Leo, Junior assistant; and Warren Kunz, Sophomore assistant. The staff is divided into five separate parts which are headed by managers who will work under the supervision of the various editors. The divisions are the Editorial Staff, headed b y A n - drew Johnson; the Office Staff, under the direction of George Keates; the Typist SUff, with Susan 'Wlayte as manager; and Quotations. Suzanne Milholland being the chairman in charge. Snapshots will be taken un- der the direction of Charles Kingsley. The Editorial Staff is composed of Natalie Frost, Helen Brock, Alex Wil- kie, Dorothy Davenport, Bernice Cal- velli, Walter Rundle, Virginia Hyland, Beatrice Talmadge. Edson Stannard,, Anne Edgar. Betty Taliaferro, Lucre- tia Bacmeister, Antoinette Keaney, Audrey Jones, Robert MacCallum, George Keates, Michael De Leo, War- ren Kunz. Nancy Thompson, James Lee, Leonard Romagna and Louise Tela. The Office Staff contains Hazel Smith, Antoinette Villani, Octavia Mc- Farland, Alex Wilkie, Natalie Frost, Lillian Zwerlein. Josephine Emerson, Ruth Loomis, Vera McParland, Helen Bott, Doris Wetober. and Dorothy Davenport. Eleven Typists on /Staff The Typists are Mary Dargan, An- ,oinette Villani, Betty Talaferro, Anne Edgar, Truly Yetter, Nancy White, Predda Turrlll, Florence Whyte, An- toinette Masucci, Ethel Mahoney, and Ursula Shaw. The snapshot artists are Ward •avidson. Thurber Duff, Edson Stan- ard, Lee Smith, Josephine Emerson, jllian Zwerlein. Burr Miller, ivtary 9uist, and Bruce Cocks.

The Port Washington High School Band has accepted an invitation to play at a college basketball game to be held in Madison Square Garden on December 19. Indiana meets Man- hattan on this date, and the western university extended the invitation to the band to represent them at the game. Augmented by some players from Junior High, the band will toe taken to the great arena in special busses supplied for the occasion. Orchestra To Go To Columbus Following the recent announcement that the National High School Or- chestra Contest is to be held in Co- lumbus, Ohio, the Port Washington High School Orchestra is planning to attend. Last year the band journeyed to Cleveland and brought back highest honors. Since this trip and the trip the High School Band hopes to take to the State Contest at Elmira, New York, will entail a great deal of expense, money is being raised right away to pay the costs. The first money making scheme is now in operation. I t is the benefit movie to be held on Monday and Tuesday, December 14th and 15th. Tickets are now on sale at the regular price of forty cents. On both nights the entire High School Band will give a short concert between the two pic- tures. This added attrction has never been tried before and a special addit- ion to the stage is being built to ac- comodate the band. The pictures for each night are: Monday night — "The Devil is a Sissy" and "Straight fitom the Shoulder"; Tuesday night — "East Meets West" and "The Smartest Girl in Town" Annual Varsity Sport Hop Is A Financial Success The second annual Sport Hop spon- sored by the Varsity Club proved very enjoyaible. The dance marked the end of the football season, the last game having been played against Glen Cove that afternoon. The music was furnished by the seven piece orchestra of Arnold Dick- erson. Following the usual custom, the dance was strictly informal. A warn- ing was issued that all persons arriv- ing in evening clothes would be fined twenty five cents. The informality of the dance seemed to appeal to the students. A profit of fifteen dollars was realized by the club.

Seniors Enjoy Sophs Dances

Since the success of the Sophomore venture, the tea dance, the Seniors are p l a n n i n g a s im i l a r a f fa i r . T h i s idea has met w i t h great approva l so far, and may possibly become a school custom. M r . Predmore c la ims t h a t i f some one w i l l he lp h i m w i t h the prep -arat ions instead of t e l l i n g w h a t they t h i n k of t h e m af terwards, he w i l l foster the idea.

The dance wou ld s ta r t after school f eme a f te rnoon and last u n t i l 6 o'-clock, d u r i n g w h i c h t ime the a t t e n -dance wou ld thunde r over the floor.

A gl impse a t a f o rmer binge w i l l serve as an example of the qua l i t y of en te r ta inment .

The general procedure seems t o be to drop eve ry th ing af ter 2:47 and r u n for the cafeter ia. U p o n your a r r i v a l you w i l l be confronted by a group of " f o u r lov ing f a c u l t y " members w h o gent ly bu t f i r m l y i n f o r m you t h a t th i s is no t a p a r t y for your class. The next move is to secure a q u o r u m to pacify the teachers and open a rear door. A f t e r admi t tance has been gained, the nex t prob lem is t o find a member of the class g i v ing the pa r t y to "sponsor" your act ions o n the dance floor.

T h e orchestra by th i s t ime has been ident i f i ed and commences to th r ob . The f i r s t number is always d i f f i cu l t as ne i ther the music no r a t t endan ts are equal t o the g r i n d . Once acc l imated i f you have surv ived w a r d i n g off r u n -away couples, you w i l l have qual i f ied for nour i shmen t .

T h e aUotted t i m e is by th i s t ime up, and the n e t resu l t is as fo l lows: The class sponsoring the b l ow -ou t at last comes i n t o prominance , a n d i t s " h o t numbe r s " make t h e i r debut. Second, no one has any appet i te for supper. T h i r d , a n d last , everyone fo rgo t h i s homework books a n d the p a r t y was a success.
