Each class at Wellington C. Mepham High School did battle for a cause last week, as an annual spirit event became a fundraiser for a cancer charity.
Battle of the Classes, which was organized by seniors in Chris Parren and Kerry Dennis’s Participation in Government class, was held in the Brookside School gymnasium on Nov. 14. The evening, filled with physical activity and Pirate pride, doubled as a fundraiser, with $3,815 collected for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

On the day President Kennedy was killed, my mother turned 41 years of age –– only 5 years younger than he was. I was 13, a ninth-grader at JHS 68 in Canarsie, Brooklyn.

And the Bellmore-Merrick girls proved to have the necessary skills and drive to knock off their rivals, winning what coach Robert Kaefer described as the biggest dual meet of the year.

In schools throughout the Bellmore-Merrick Central District, many wooden doors are scratched up, and their handles don’t latch properly.
In most bathrooms, one or more sinks and toilets are broken and covered over. In Mepham High School’s football locker room, where the smell of sweat suffuses the air, the sink is sealed with plywood and the urinals are cemented over.

Overhead lights borrowed from Nassau County illuminated Mepham High School’s football field on the evening of Oct. 17, when members of the Hofstra University Men’s Rugby Club and three former U.S. national rugby team players –– Michael Laczkowski, Glenn Gawronski and Kevin Fegan –– offered a clinic in a sport that, to Americans at least, looks something like a cross between football and soccer.
And, in many ways, it is.

Last Friday morning, Calhoun High Schools students were driving recklessly in the back parking lot of their school, veering here and there, occasionally crashing into parked cars and nearly missing pedestrians. They were all drunk.
That is, a computer simulator gave them the sensation that they were driving drunk.
