East Rockaway Seniors
Kop Rock Rivalry Kup
On Friday evening, March 29th, in East Rockaway High
Hool, the seniors roller-coasted away with the Silver Cup and
w.st place honors in Rock Rivalry competition, while the sopho-more
class stage-coached into second place. It climaxed eight
weeks of hard work for all classes; they wrote scripts, worded
music, sewed costumes, painted scenery, rehearsed dance steps,
sang themselves hoarse, and memorized lines, all in addition to
their regular school work. And, on Rock Rivalry night, each and
(^very class came up with a presentation that was amazingly pro-fessional.
Tli(> freshman prescntccl "Jinif^lc
Fever." Willi tlieir skin darkened,
and their liair sprayed l)]aek, they
daneed and sang aronnd an idol,
while a gnitar and hongos beat ont
baekgronnd aeeoniiianiinent. 'iiien
eheer leaders dresseil as leopards
twisted their tails and eheered I'or
"Jiocl- Vietory,"
For their entranee, tlu> soplu)-
^ b r e s used a western thejiie entitled
"Whii> Craek-Away." Swaggering
eowl)oys and girls S(}\iare daneed
and sang against a heantiliilly drawn
baekdrop, jilanning to bring a saloon
lo good old Rock City via stage-coaeh.
Tiien eanie the cheer leaders
attired as foaniy-lieadcid beer steins.
Th(i junior class, colorfully garbed
as Mongolians, swirled in hug(!
circles to gring rain to save tluir
Klian. l^ng-hraided Mongolian girls
were the junior cheer leaders.
And then, as the piece-de-resist-lllll!
llllllllllllllllll{||||||lllllllllllll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi;il!llll^
ance, the senior class brought to life
a c-arnival featuring a human carou-si'l,
calliope, shooting gallery, and
most fantastic of all, a flickering
movie macliine from a penny arcade
in wliieh Keystone Kops pm'sued
masked robbers. In ])rilliant balloon
costumes the seniors cheered for
first ])lace.
After the performance, whil(>
viewing larg(> nunals and posters on
each theme, the audience refreshed
themselves with cake and soda sold
at a native Imt, a western saloon, a
Mongolian temple and a glittering
ferris wheel, all designed and con-strncletl
by the teenage participants.
Rock l^ivalry proved again that
given proper guidance, opportunity
and encouragement, there are virtu-ally
no boundaries to wliat todays'
youngsters can achieve.

New Column Probes Deep
Significance of News
PAUL HARVEY NEWS, which begins today on page 6 of
the HELM, is not just another column of political commentary.
Paul Harvey will continue to give the broad, far-reaching
analysis of the world scene which has put his books high on the
nation's besf-^iielter i i s t s .—
VILLAGE
Citizen Advisory Committees
Appointed By Lynbrook Mayor
Lynbrook Mayor George H. Mangravite this week made proposals to stave off the need for
a full-time mayor and Board of Trustees in this village and at the same time allow for more
resident participation in village affairs.
In a speech during a scheduled Village Board meeting at which administrative appoint-ments
were made for the coming year, Mangravite outlined a proposal to broaden the base of
village government to include six
new advisory committees to the
Board, consisting of residents r e p ro
senting all parts of the village.
These villagers, from diversified
fields of professional and senu'-
professional activity will be dele-gated
to study village needs and "re-solve
village situations from local
goveiTimerrt . . . by assuitiing somo
of the administrative work of the
village."
In brief, the mayor has set up a
"Citizens Advisory Board to the
Mayor and Board of Trustees" and
five citizen advisory conunittees in
such fields as zoning; streets, trans-portation,
lights, and signs; public
improvement, health and welfare;
and iiublic parks.
" In this way," said the Mayor,
"committee members will lighten
the ever increasing work-load of the
mayor and trustees by undertaking
the study of various village prob-lems
and endeavors, then present to
the board the core of their findings.
This will permit the board to take
action on issues from the facts as
presented, without having to delve
into each and every facet of the
issue requiring attention."
Mangravite said that the Citi-z(>
ns Advisory Board to the Mayor
and Board of Trustees will be
headed by William A. Colton, a
former Village Trustei', Colton would
assisted by four members from
the four sections of the village ap-pointed
by himself with the approval
of the trnst(>es.
Conuuittees Named
The committees named by the
mayor are Commerce and Industry,

illlllllll
While it. is based on the latest
developments at home and abroad,
this exciting new cohmin will range
through all the areas of human in-terest,
including economics, philos-ophy,
art and literature.
Paul Harvey's purpose is to give
his readers a fuller, deeper under-standing
of the events taking lolace
around them. He is never satisfied
with tlie easy, superficial commen-tary
of most writers, but strives al-ways
to probe for the hidden sig-nificance
which lies beneath the
surface.
Harvey pulls no punches, but calls
tliem as he sees them. His fearless-ly
clear vision is a guiding light in
the confusion of world problems to-day.
The author of three best-selling
volumes, Harvey holds citations
from the American Legion, Veter-ans
of Foreign Wars, Freedom
Foundation, the Disabled American
Veterans, and the Christophers. He
III;
has received honorary Doctor of
Letters degrees from Culver-Stock-ton
College in Missouri and New
York's St. Bonaventure University.
All of these honors testify to Paul
Harvey's tireless battle for the
American Way, which is the key-stone
of his thinking. Harvey is one
of the leading spokesmen for old-fashioned
Americanism, as opposed
to all the other "isms" which threat-en
to engulf the world.
In the words of Freeman Mag-azine:
"There is something of Walt
Whitman and Patrick Henry com-bined
in Paul Harvey." This is just
another way of saying that Har\'ey
is a great writer and a great Amer-ican.
Eveiyone who is interested in the
world alx)ut him will be enlighten-ed
and inspired by this great new
column, which M'ill appear e\ery
week in the HELM.
So turn to page 6 and start fol-lowing

regularly.
