E. Rockaway Sr. &Jr. High To Co
On "Overlapping Schedules"
Dr. ^VilUam K. Louis, Superintendent of the East Rockaway Public Schools, recommend-ed
to the Board of Education at last Monday night's meeting, that the Senior and Junior (Grade
7 & 8 ) High School be j^aced on Overlapping Schedules. He recommended Overlapping be-cause
of the serious shortage of class room space currently available at the High School and
the fact that they expected the current enrollm snt figure of 942 to increase by a minimum of S'l
students this September. The plan endorsed by the Jr. and Sr. High School Administration, was
ai^provcd by the School Board. The plan will take effect in September 1964.

Lefkowitz Denies Second
Request, VP To Change Tactics
"We think now it is time Mr. Watson Morgan stop beating a dead horse."
This comment was made by Lynbrook Mayor George H. Mangravite upon learning that
State Attorney General Louis J. Lefkowitz had, for a second time, denied an application by de-feated
Village Party mayoralty candidate Watson Morgan to have Mangravite removed from
office.
Morgan based his plea on the allegation diat Mangravite did not own property in Lyn-brook
at the time of his election last March and for a subsequent period thereafter.
In a decision rendered last month, — — - — '
following a hearing in Albany, Lef-kowil/
ruled that Mangravite had
been a property owner during the
times specified and denied Nh)rgan's
application.
/I ^ » o n after this, Attorney Martin
j ^ ^ e i n s t e i n , representing Morgan,
filed a "request for reconsiclerati(m"
of this decision.
Tliis second recjuest, answered
and signed by Asst. Attorney Gen-eral
Her])ert H. Smitli in cliarge of
the General Laws Bureau for Lefko-witz,
was also turned down. The
letter, addressed to Weinstein, said
in part:
"Your retjuest for reconsideration
of the above entitled matter has
been discussed with Attorney Gen-eral
Louis J. Lefkowitz . . . Neitlier
Attorney General Lefkowitz nor my-self,
as tlie Hearing Officer, can de-termine'
any ground for reconsidera-ion
of the decision already made.
( j 0 i t was long ago establi.shed (here
t\Vo eases were cited) 'that the Attor-ney
General should, upon the cir-ciunstances
of each case, as it should
be presented to hijn, d e t e r nt i n e
whether the public interest reijuires
tliat a suit be prosecuted.' Your re-
<]uest for reconsideration is there-fore
dt^nied."

According to Dr. Louis' plan, a
three period separation of grades
9-12 and grades 7-8 would provide
sufl'icient flexibility and space to
accommodate the anticipated enroll-ment.
The school teaching facilities
would operate from 8, a.m. to 4:16
p.m. Senior high school studcMits
would attend school from 8 a.m. to
2:07 p.m. Grades 7 and 8 would
start at 10:09 a.m. and finisii at
4 : 1 6 p.m.
Additional staff required for the
Overlapping Schedule to cope with
liroblems of enrollment and the thr^e
period separation would be a science
teacher, full time; special teacher for
grades 7 and 8, full time; English
teacher, half time; home economics
teacher, one third time; dean of stu-dents
for attendance, registers, disci-pline
and census, full time; history
teacher, two periods; foreign lan-guage
teacher, one period; driver
education teacher, two periods and
clerical, Va for guidance office and
for main ofl'ice, full time.
Dr. Louis pointed out by using
this plan, the school district could
avoid building additions on to the
present plant. He estimated that tlie
plan wovdd save the ta.xjiayers a
(piarter of a million dollars. He re-vealed
that a recent nation-wide sur-vey
showed that by 1970 the high
peak of school enrollment would be
at a low point. "'I'his Overlapping
Plan could give us a chance to ride
the crisis until then," he stated.

companionship to a young boy or
girl who, because of poor economic
or family circumstances,, lacks suffi-cient
parental supervision.
Although Big-Brothers are volun-teers,
they would be reimbursed for
expenses incurred. Interested college
students or young adults should call
