Finely Tuned Performance

T

he sounds of finely tuned voices and instruments resounded through the halls of Wantagh High School as secondary-level student-musicians displayed their musical talents at five separate winter concerts for Board of Education trustees, administrators, parents and staff. After weeks of rehearsal, the orchestra, chorus and band members delighted audiences with traditional, folk, classical and holiday selections.

Great job to all!

The Interview Process

College interviews are a very daunting concept.

So far, I have taken part in three of these alumni interviews.

In my very limited experience with the process, it seems that the purpose is to sell the college to you. In addition to asking you questions, the interviewer will go into depth about his experience at the specific institution. He wants you to want to go there. He wants you to follow in his footsteps as an alumnus of College X. Alumni interviews are meant to serve as a judge of your communication competency. Essentially, it has become evident that an interviewer is checking that you can

handle yourself in the real world.

No college wants introverts. They want passionate, articulate students.

They sift through countless applications to find these lucky boys and girls. If you are really serious about attending a college, an interview is a great way to express your interest.

It gives an applicant the chance to blow an interviewer away with an extensive knowledge of the history of the university, the campus or the academics. But even if you have no current interest in College X, it never hurts to keep your options open.

Inherently, an interview is nerve wracking. You are being

judged by a stranger that has the power to influence the rest of your life. Who wouldn’t be nervous?

When it comes down to it, the interviewer is there to make you feel at ease. There is no need to be anxious, as the interviewer will often lead the conversation and get you through the process.

It is their job to ensure that the college has a steady influx of capable young minds. There is nothing you can do to guarantee admission, but an interview is a great place to start. The college is always looking for the best students an interviewer can provide.

Both you and the interviewer are merely vessels for advancement.

Winter Blahs By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

INSTALLATION DINNER - The North Merrick Fire Department’s 90th Annual Inspection and Installation Dinner was recently held at the Uniondale Marriott on Saturday, January 18th. Legis. David Denenberg is shown here presenting a county citation to outgoing Chief Michael Gargan, along with incoming Chief Paul Waterman, 1st Assistant Chief Christopher Clement, 2nd Assistant Chief Thomas Gies and Legislator Laura Curran.

January is probably my least favorite month of all.

Apologies to those with birthdays or other milestones that fall within these 31 days, but honestly, it doesn’t seem like anything of any real significance happens in January – save for exorbitant snowfall totals, hazardous driving conditions and a general sense of post-holiday “blah-ness.”

Am I wrong? Please tell me if I am. I would love nothing more than to find some redeeming quality for this last month. Other than the initial excitement of starting off a new year with a completely

blank slate, it’s been one endless procession of taking down Christmas decorations, attempting to pack away said decorations in some sort of orderly fashion and then realizing how very empty all the rooms now look.

Of course, throw in a couple of significant snowfalls, the digging out that comes with it, one especially tedious fourhour commute home from work – and I’m about ready to hibernate with the groundhog until next spring. That’s quite enough of winter as far as I’m concerned. Perhaps if I was fortunate to sit home and admire the snow from a window until it all melted away… but until then, wake

me when the crocuses sprout.

February, while still possessing great blizzard potential, at least brings with it the promise of spring, a progression toward warmth and flower blossoms and longer days… everything that January does not. And there is also, of course, our furry friend the groundhog, that poor little sleep-deprived creature whom we systematically awaken each February 2nd with the hope that his clairvoyance will predict an early spring. Seems sensible enough.

And so we bid adieu to January. Goodbye and good riddance, with hopes for only good things come February.

Music In The Air

The sounds of finely tuned voices and instruments resounded through the halls of Wantagh High School as secondary-level studentmusicians displayed their musical talents at five separate winter concerts for Board of Education

trustees, administrators, parents and staff.

After weeks of rehearsal, the orchestra, chorus and band members delighted audiences with traditional, folk, classical and holiday selections.

District Director of Fine and Performing Arts Kelly Good

congratulated the students on their performances and thanked the music staff for the hours they had dedicated to preparing for PARP OLYMPICS - Assemblyman Dave McDonough recently visited Levy-Lakeside these seasonal concerts.

School’s Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) Olympics Reading program. As part of the program, McDonough read As Good As Anybody, by Richard Michelson, to Ms. Photo provided by: Elizabeth Sobel, Syntax Ruth Rosenberg’s fifth grade students. The students also asked McDonough about New York State government and his role as an assemblyman.
