Roguish rodent .invades art room

by Jord an M. Dressler What has four legs , a fluffy tail, an affinity for nuts, and recently spent several days in the art room? The answer is a squirrel, and it was recently caugh t and freed from room 119 where it .had spent more than a week. Ar t teacher . Anthony Morales, custodian Michael White, Assistant Principal Malcolm Rossman and his secretary Jayne Irene all helped in the successful capture ofthe little creature, after which it was freed into the wooded area adjacent to the school bu ilding.

The final capture, following a se~ies of fumbled attempts ridden with bad luck, took place on May 15, the eighth day that the squirrel had remained in the room. Mr. Morales, using the remnants of the large apple suspended from the gym ceiling at the Health Fa ir that Monday, fashioned a makeshift cage with which to trap the already injured

KARATE DEMONSTRATORS, senior Judy Luong and sophomore Matt Cretaro, perform for students at the Health Fair.

Health Fair' blends facts with fun

by M att Gil goff The third ann ual Health Fair at Townsend Harris offered not only facts and information but food and games as well: Students had easy access to advice from pro fessionals in the health field and rece ived fact-filled pamphlets.

The intent of the fair was to "allow the students to obtain pertinent-information and have a good time while doing it," said guidance counselor Susan Rotter, one of the coordinators of the fair.

In an attempt to accomplish this goal, health topics were incorporated into a Jeopardy game which attracted many students. The game was created by PhyllisBogart and her freshman daughter Cynthia. Mrs. Bogart, who volunteered her time, exemplified the wide range of participants in the fair.

"The fair was contributed to by the entire school community," explained Mrs . Rotter. Teachers, parents, students, and outside organizations were all involved.

Two of the students who participated in the fair were sophomores Matt Cretaro and Stefan Bilaniak. Matt put on a karate and self-defense exhibition and Stefan helped at the Emergency Medical Service table. "I learned a 10t... .1 felt it was worthwhile to volun-

teer my time, " said Stefan.

In addition, members of Puffles and Students for the Preservation of the Earth manned booths at the event.

Health teacher Ellen Schwartz and Mrs. Rotter were the co-coordinators of the fair. A student committee brainstormed ideas and helped to set up, run, and clean up the fair . Art teacher Anthony Morales supe rvised production of the decorations which featured a large papier-mache apple hung from the gym ceiling.

The gymnasium was filled with displays from outside organizations such as the A:'L D.S. Center, the American Diabetes Association, the American Red Cross , and Booth Memorial Hospital. Many stud ents gathered around the exhibit presented by the Department of Transportation. Theresa A. Barry, who works for the department, distributed quizzes to students. All those who -took the quiz wo~ such prizes as a button, a reflector or ' a weeble.

Mrs. Barry was very impressed with Townsend Harris students' knowledge of safety. "The kids all knew the teenage quiz so well .I eventually began to distribute the adult quiz. It's a tribute to the health teachers at the school," she said.

As the school year winds down, student government election campaigns will move full speed ahead. This year, howev er,campa igning does not only entail making colorful posters and giving out clever buttons, but deliv ering speeches as well . The Studen t Unio n has added an open forum to the campaignin g process so that the candidates can introduce themselves and present their ideas . Th isinnovation was a necessary one because traditi onally the candidates and their .ideas have not been widely known despi te.the small size of .. , our school. ' The forum will give students the opportunityto measu re the candidates by their character instead of jus t their looks, popularity, or the designs on t heir posters. In this manner, students can make educated and wise selec tions. There is a catc h, though. Elections and the candidates chosen can only impro ve if voters take advantage of this foru m and show up. If peopl e treat the elections as joke, next year' s stude nt government will be a joke too.

With the pending Board of Education budget cuts threatening every aspect of school life, we literally cannot afford to haveincompetent title-seek ers in office. If the student body does not want the current level of school life to deteriorate, it should elec t stro ng and hard working leaders who will prepare for financial disaster. They must take the initiative to cushi on the blow by organizing a wide-scale fLUl.draising campaign. .

Raisin g large sums of money is not going to be easy, but with the right leaders in offic e, it can be done. First we must fulfill our responsiblities as voters by taking the forum seriously and using it to find out how each cand idate plans to handle next year's situation.

Consequ ently, the candidates should be prepared to present concrete proposals which will illustrate the quality and creativi ty of their ideas.

We must elect responsibile leaders. Inthe end , it comes dow n to choos ing eithe r those who will comm it themselves to the studerir'governrnent or others who j ust.want to add another line to their college application. The.~ all is inourcourt, and all of us will be affec ted by how we play.

Professionals explore career options

by Pamela Yamamoto Hoping to enhance awareness of career options open to students, professionals representing various occupations visited Townsend Harris to speak at the fifth annual Career Day on March 27 during bands 2, 3, and 4.

Joe Calderone, an investigative reporter, spoke about his job at New York Newsday. His investigative unit specializes in political corruption and reported Mayor David Dinkins' controversial transfer of stock to his son. " I had to quickly become an overnight expert in stocks, taxes, and a lot of other th ings I didn 't know before ....You 're always learning about new things," said Mr. Calderone.

"Good reporters are not bashfu l. A reporter has to be open-minded and independent," he said.

"As a reporter, you're probably not

going to get rich," said Mr.Calderone inresponse to astudent's question about his salary. You make a decent wage ....It is an exciting career. When everyone else heads for the bomb shelter, you're going up on the roof." He urged aspiring journalists "to read anything you can get your hands on. There's no better way to learn how to write than to read," he said. "Read four different newspapers and re-read the same type of story to see the differences in style and look for their accuracy ."

He suggested that students interested in the field of journalism should "go to the school newspaper and knock on their door. There's no better way to know if you wantto be ajournalist than to do that," he said.

"International Night has always had the effect of bringing all the segments oftheTownsend Harris family together for a meaningful and memorable evening," commented Robert Goodman, Coordinator of the Foreign Language Department. An overflow ing crowd came to the festivities held in the cafetorium on March 12.

Many families attended the annual event, bringing with them foods from diverse cultures, including Italian, Chinese , Japanese , and Indian. "The various types of food were delicious and represented the ethnic diversity of the student body," said sophomore Sohini Chowdhurry.

The Foreign Language Department and the Parent-Teachers Association co-sponsored the event with the guidance of the International Night Committee, comprised of Mr. Goodman and P.T.A. members Helen Berner, INT£RNATIONAL NIGHT DANCERS, Danielle Smith and Luis Otiniano, seniors, show off their moves in an ethnic dance.

The school 's part of the show was organized by Lynne Greenfield, Coordinator of Student Activiti~~ and background information was provided by Athletic Director Larry Ceraulo. The students participating in the academic segment were seniors Kathy DiGangi, Rodney Lopez, Natalie Thomas, and Nuri Kodaman, and juniors Pearl Chan, and Pia Alexander. The students in the athletic segment were senior Rachel Ruisi, juniors Lauren Caiaccia, Jennifer Berner.Tzachy Zaidman, and Ronnie Sussman and sophomore Neftali Serrano.

"It was a very interesting experience to be able to speak about special programs in school the entire character of Townsend Harris," said Pearl.

"It was cool just to be on the air and it was good experience," said junior Ronnie Sussman.

"It seemed all who were involved did agreat job, especially the students who painted a clear picture of Townsend Harris," said sophomore Danielle Tropea.

S.A.D.D. strives to save teen lives

by Jill Gaffney and Jennifer Sorowltz ' S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk) is an organization of students who convince other students that drinking and driving don't mix. Townsend Harris' chapter.headedbyEnglishteacher Judith Biener, has thirty to forty members.

One segment of society most affected by drinking and driving is the 16-24year-old group. S.A.D.D. was started in 1981 to improve young people's awareness. knowledge, and attitudeabout alcohol and drugs. It emphasizes that teenage drinking is against the law and stresses that this should be a compelling reason for teens to avoid alcohol.

The S.A.D.D. program has three major ,components : it provides a series of lesson plans to present the facts about drinking and driving. and this allows students to make informed decisions; it mobilizes students to help one another through peer pressure and to face up to the danger of mixing drinking with driving; it also promotes frank discussion between students and parents through the S .A.D.D.contract. Under this agreement, hn,h rh,A~n'r ~nA 'heir parents nledae _ to

Activist urges judgement on merit, not color of skin

Speakers stress African awareness

by Verusha Palczynski "People have the idea that Africa is a land of barbarians. cannibals, and witchdoctors ," said Michael Mbabwuike; Queens College Professor of African Studies during Enrichment on March 7.

In another Enrichment program held to commemorate Black History Month, Gloria McNeal and Keith Johnston from the Tenement Museum on the Lower East side spoke about black history and awareness on February 26.

Dr. Mbabwuike was born in Nigeria and grew up in an area of Africa dominated by the British. He lectures "to correct" the ideas and impressions that people have of Africa.

"My experience growing up in Africa was very enriching," said Dr. Mbabwuike. "In Africa, there is respect for elders. People are honored when they are called old. The older you are, the more respect you are

Approximately 200 students chosen randomly by Enrichment Coordinato r Ellen Schwartz attended the presentation .

Ms. McNeal, who wore a wig and a long purple dress with a lace collar. explained how "the island of Jamaica was the seasoning island." She mentioned thatJ amaica was the place where the slave traders tried to break the spirits of their prisoners by cutting off their hands as well as many other body parts. She also discussed how the slaves were shipped to other islands. "And don't anybody think we didn't fight, cause we fought back," s~d Ms. McNeal.

Smith seeks adventure, diversity

Lopez portrays Teddy;wins contest

by Kristina Olson "Go to college, get a degree, and you too could be interviewed with a tape recorder," stated Katherine Smith to the students in the College Planning Enrichment while they listened in on her interview with The Classic. A graduate of Simmons College, Ms. Smith started teaching English at Townsend Harris in February.

When Ms. Smith isn' t teaching English classes, she enjoys going to the theater, museums, reading and trave1ing.

by Therese Ferguson "It was like the Miss American Pageant: first they announced the runnersup, then the third place winner, then the second place winner. I was left sitting ...[on stage] all alone. Then, they announced my name as the First Place , winner. I was very embarrassed...and happyl" said senior Rodney Lopez after winning the Theodore Roosevel t Oratory Contest on May 3.

Rodney received $1800 in U. S. savings bonds , and a medallion and bust of Teddy Roosevelt. The annual contest, which has been held since 1924, was sponsored by the Th eodore Roosevelt Association.

Participants were required to constnict, memo rize, and present a fiveminu te speech based on either the life or career of Teddy Roosevelt. The judges, consisting of the Theodore Roosevelt Association and specialists in drama and speech, judg ed the contestants based on their poise, confidence, gestures, volume, and histor ical accuracy.

In his speech, Rodney portrayed Teddy Roosevelt addressing Booker T..Washington. "My speech was based on a dinner meeting that took place in 1901 between Rooseve lt and Booker T . Washington. At that time, this was very controversial considering that Washington was black," said Rodney .

"My speech centered on the social status of black people atthattime.i.how they were victims of racism, unemploymen t...and had little education...and political power ."

"At first, it was hard writing the speech because there was no official record of what was said at the mee ting.

I really had to use my imagination and really think about what Roosevelt, in . 1901, would be saying to Washi ngton.

After the first few lines, the rest followed pretty easily," he said.

Rodney's coach, history teacher Michael Manson, gave Rodney the idea for his speech. "Every year students do the same old stuff, foreign policy .... I wanted Rodney to do something different, something novel and this is what I came up with," said Dr. Manson.

Rodney first found out about the contest when he was approached by Dr. Manson.

Rodney decided to enter becaus e "I've always thought of myself as a forensic activist...a person who enjoys speaking, and this was another opportunity for me to express myself on stage," he said. "Also, it's good because it gives you confidence and the opportuni ty to think about life in another person's time....It allows you to organize your thoughts and gives you experience in public speaking," At first, Rodney was very nervous. "I was the third speaker. The ftrst two finalists were terrific and I was really scared. When I got on stage, I was really nervous , but it wasn't as bad ' after I got comfortable," he said.

Rodney credits his acting in school plays and SING with helping him win the contest. 'The experienceI got from acting gave me stage presence - where to stand, use of gesture, use of my voice. The stage fright wasn ' t as much .

I wasn't as petrified as when I first acted on stage," he said.

Dr. Manson was very happy when he heard Rodney 's name called as the winner. "I was especially proud because all of the other coaches were speech or English teachers and I was the only coach that was ' a history teacher.... It was a challenge and we won!" Dr. Manson said.

New conductor alters daily routine, repertoire of Concert Band

by Jennifer Fitz gerald Adam Alter, the Conc ert Band' s ne w conductor and instructor, entered the band room this semester with a fresh

approach and a variety of material including George Gershwin 'sPorgy and Bess. A special element of Mr. Alter's program is the time he takes to spend

with the musicians individually .

Mr. Alter teaches only one class, the Concer t Band , but he also conducts an Enrichment. In this Enrichment, stu-

dents receive individual attention to help improve their techniq ue.

After only a few weeks of teaching at this schoo l, Mr. Alter had already formed an opinion about Townsend Harris and its students. " Whoever taught them manners, did an excellent job," he said. He then added, "This is the best school I' ve been in in years," Mr. Alter also taught in Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn.

Mr . Alter is mainly a clarinetist, but he also plays bass clarine t and saxo phone. He is presently playing in a varie ty of groups , including the Annapolis Symphony, the Goldman Band, and Keith Brion 's New Sous a Band.

Along with performing, Mr. Alter enjoys listening to a wide variety of music.While he strongly dislikes disco, elevator music, and "Top 40," he says, "The other stuff! can sort of tolerate."

'Th is "other stuff' includes his favorite rock band, the Old Genesi s with Tony Banks on keyboards and Peter Gabriel as lead vocal ist. He also enjoys' jazz.

His favorite jazz player is , Ronnie Odrich. "He' s a clarinet player/den tist who I 'just think is terrific ," he said.

"He' s a periodontist....I'1l ~o out of my way jus t to hear him." As for class ical music , he prefers the Cleveland Orchestra. His favorite composers include Bach, Mahler, and Carl Nielson.

"I've listened to so many different kinds of music, that gener ally I' ll listen to the opposite of what I've been playing. For instance, this morning on the subway, some troglodyte was blaring rock music, so that when I got here, the last thing I wanted ~o hear was rock.

And last night I did a three-hour opera rehearsal, so I came home and put on a Peter Gabriel CD,:' he explained.

Althoug h music is the dominating feature of Mr. Alter's life, it is not his all-consuming passion. He also likes to cook. "I mostly stay with ethnic cooking . I do a lot of Chinese and a lot ofLatin cooking, and lately I' ve started .learning Korean cooking as well," he said. He also likes to watch boxing and spend time with his dog.

"I share a dog with my neighbor. Her name's Larry , and she 's a Doberman pinscher and partMartian. She lives in the stairway," he said,

by Wendy Lame Most teenagers know what a haven a shopping mall can be. It is an artificial world where you can escape your problems - or a place to confront them, as shown in the new film, Scene Fro~ a Mall, starring Bette Midler and Woody Allen .

This comedy, rated "R~', takes place in a suburban mall inCalifomia. It appears to be the perfect world where nothing can go wrong, but this positive atmosphere has a very negative effect on married couple Deborah (Bette Midler) and Nick (Woody Allen) Fifer.

It seems that they have been hiding quite a lot from each other.

It is the Fifer's 16th wedding anniversary, and they go to the mall to pick up fo~ for their party. As they pass a bookstore displaying Deborah'snovel, I Do, I Do, they decide to enter and look around. Numerous televisions set up throughout the store are showing an interview of author Deborah Fifer and a friend. This "friend" happens"to be Deborah's lover, which, of course, causes her to experience extreme nervousness. Ironically, the subject of Deborah's book is how to save a marriage.

Coincidentally, at this same moment,

Nick is experiencing his own guilt, thinking about a woman with whom he had had a seven-year affair. He~had end~d this affair the day before. .The extreme tension that has been buildingup between Deborah and Nick finallyresmtsmthemutualconfession oftheir infidelities. This is the begin ning of a roller-coaster-like sequence of events which form the storyline of . . this ironically humorous movie.

The scenes of conflict are don~ very well.makirrg a rather implausible storyline almostbelievable, The overall acting is terrific, and 'an excellent ....soundtrack is used to intensify the emotions generated by the movie . .

Why was a mall chosen as the cata. Iyst for both characters to reveal the truth to each other? Perhaps because it is an artificial world. This artificial world shatters anartificial relationship within which both parties had been living a lie.

Scenes from a Mall seems to be aimed at people who have been married for many years. They are the ones who could best understand and appreciatew~atthemoviehastosay.Never­

theless, with its funny and dramatic situations, it's worth the two hours, even if you 're not married. . .: "

Th e Classic May 1991

Huskies hustleto championship

by Tzachy Zaidman The scoreboard read 52-50 in favor of the Razorbacks as Huskie captain Brian DeMaso, senior, stepped up to .the foul line '.for five attempts. Brian calmly sank his rust shot, barely missed his second, while connecting on his third. Now the score read 52-all and the Huskies , who were thought at rust to be just a mediocre team, were one point away from a 1990-1991 Intramural Championship.

Brian took a deep breath, eyed the basket and launched a shot which hit the back -iron and bounced out of the basket. Now all he had left was one foul shot. With his 'teammates' encouragement in the background, Brian hoisted ahigh arching shot which kissed the backboard and ricocheted into the basket. The season had officially ended and the Huskies now had the distine:' tion of being the Intramural Champions.

Junior Kirk Lazaridis put the icing on the cake, sinking two free throws to secure a 55-52 victory. Upset was the

word of the day for the Razorbacks.

"No one gave our team a chance starting from the draft," Brian stated.

"Even Mr. Ceraulo [Intramural Coor- , dinator] was a bit skeptical on my draft-picks."

One of those draft picks was Kirk, the Huskies' first-round draft choice.

However, Kirk was the star of the day, exploding for agame high of25 points, while collecting three assists.

"To my surprise and others', Kirk rose to the occasion. If I could pick an MVP, it would be him . He turned his play to another level and the other teams couldn't keep up with him,"said Brian. who himself showed a monumental effort. He scored 14 points, banged the boards for 15 rebounds, and made an impressive 8 blocks.

The Razorbacks, however, didn't surrender without a fight. Led by their captain, senior Jamar Brown (21 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists), junior Damian Young (13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists), and junior Lenny Moyger's 19 boards, the Razorbacks never gave up.

They even outscored their opponent 31-29 in the second half.

"We gave 110 percent, but they just never let up. It's a little disappointing to lose, but we had a terrific season," said Lenny.

The game began slowly. It took 3:57 for the first basket, ajump-shot in from about 14 feet on the left side of the basket, which was hit by sophomore Fritz Jeffries. The teams matched baskets at the start, but when they were tied at 13, Huskie junior Anthony LoGerfo (12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists) netted a three pointer with 5:33 to go in the half. From there, the Huskies built a 26-21 lead entering the intermission. The hustling Huskies were sparked by both Anthony's 10 and Kirk's 11 rust half points .

The Huskies began the second half by increasing their lead to seven by 28-21 score. Then, the Razorbacks began to put it together, led by spunky junior Dominick Mazza, whose lay-up at the 13:57 mark brought the 'Backs to within one at 34-33 . Once again the
