Farmingdale High School
The recent week- end of our annual
Inaugural Ball, lent itself
to a carousel of dazzling events
at Farmingdale Senior High.
Beginning on Friday we hosted
twelve foreign exchange students
presently residing on Long
Island. Representing Australia,
Sweden, they attended a typical
school day at FHS accompanied
by members of the Student Council,
Future Nurses, and the Interact
Club. They were guests at
a tea given in the FHS library
after school, and later that evening
were honored at a reception
sponsored by the Farmingdale
Rotary Club. Saturday gave the
exchangers a look at our school
spirit as they attended our second
football game, and climaxing
their stay in Dalerland, they
joined the gala festivities of the
Inaugural Ball that evening.
As tradition has it, the Senior
Class reigned victorious over
competition from its lower classmen
at the Ball, once again winning
dress- down day. Competing
in the areas of entertainment,
display, attendance, and G. 0o
sales, the Seniors placed first
in three out of the four categories
as the Junior Class
proudly achieved honors for dis -
play. The vibrant performance of
" A Plastic Dream," a local rock
group, added to the excitement
as the huge turn- out of students
was greeted by three lively and
colorful skits.
With its newly- elected officers
being inaugurated, the Sophomore
Class made a special effort in
presenting their " Western" skit
staged in an old- time saloon. The
Junior Class also provided fine
competition with its theme of
" Egypt" which centered around
a towering pyramid and included
an array of sparsely- costumed
belly- dancers and a comical funeral
procession paying tribute to
the Pharoah. Culminating the
merriment, " Golddiggers ' 69,"
brought a roar of approval as the
Seniors presented their musical
of the 30' s together with an
authentic jazz band and a red,
white, and blue garbed chorus
line.
At approximately 7: 00 a. m.,
on Thursday, FHS's early
session was greeted by the South
Farmingdale Fire Department
which had been summoned after
discovery of a fire atop the new
student commons presently under
construction. Apparently, before
the opening of school, some construction
materials had become
ignited and began smoldering,,
The flames were promptly extinguished,
and it was reported
that no delay in construction
would occur.
Future events at FHS will include
presentation of " The
Monkey's Paw," directed by Mr.
Kenneth Ulric, a dramatic delve
Ginsberg To Act ( Conttn
gram for the community.
" The railroad crossings in
Bethpage," Ginsberg said, " have
long been a hazard of life and
limb. In addition, when the
crossing gates are down to let
trains pass through on the r a i l road's
Main Line, vehicular traffic
on Broadway and Stewart Avenue,
two of the major streets
in Bethpage, is tied up causing
long traffic jams during morning
and evening rush hours."
Ginsberg noted that Bethpage
residents, in addition to desiring
an early start on the long- promised
grade crossing elimination
program want to have the tracks
depressed through the community.
Ginsberg said he plans to seek
an early meeting with Dr. Wil-in
the supernatural, which will
be given on Friday, November 1,
and " The Miracle Worker," the
famous play upon which the
academy award winning movie of
the life of Helen Keller was
basedo Fveryone is looking forward
to this year's presentations
of the Green Room Players which
undoubtably will follow their past
record of superb rendition.
November 8 promises to be a
most enjoyable evening as the
first annual Football Dance takes
place Music and light show will
be provided by " An Almond Joy,"
an exciting rock group well -
known at Stony Brook University,
Hofstra University, and throughout
Farmingdale. This dance
promises to be the beginning of
another important social event
of the yearD

Ham J . Ronan, head of the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority
to seek his endorsement of the
track depression plan.
" If Dr. Ronan does not see
the folly of elevating the tracks
through Bethpage," Ginsberg declared,
' then I am sure the legislation
I shall introduce at the next
session of the Legislature, will
help him make up his mind to go
along with my plan and that of the
resident's of Bethpage, to depress
the tracks."

FOOT NOTES
by David BudoH & Sol Elbaum,
Reg. Ph.
Dr. Francois Mauriceau was
the 17th- century obstetrician who
was the first modern doctor to
devise a scheme for accurate
prediction of the sex of an unborn
child. He told midwives to find
out which sex the parents wanted,
and then to predict the opposite.
If the midwife was right, the
parents gave her credit. If
wrong, they were so pleased to
get a child of the sex they wanted
that they paid no attention to the
wrong prediction. That system is
still sometimes used successfully
today.
That is one of the few phases
of medicine that leaves doubt.
