...different approach is taken by Garden City High School on Long Island, where a group of 100 juniors and seniors take a coordinated program based on such major philosophical themes as man's search for order and meaning in life, his adjustment to change and his yearning for self-expression. In an opening unit on "The World Today," the social-studies teachers deal with man's fears of nuclear war, poverty and lost identity. English classes analyze contemporary writings on violence, brotherhood, situation ethics and alienation. The art and music teachers seek to define the values implicit...
Hillbilly Opera. In discussing the search for order, teachers show how this theme is found in such works as Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, The Divine Comedy and Death of a Salesman. To help them understand the difficulties of achieving esthetic order, music students at Garden City have been assigned the problem of writing operas of their own: in one, a hillbilly, over his mother's strong objections, goes to New York to pursue a career as a folk singer and becomes famous.

For years, a tailor named John Gerecitano has shown up at every Ranger home game dressed in a leopardskin hat and carrying a trombone; when the game gets beyond hope, he plays taps. Surprise.

I remember when she was singing at the Winter Garden in Bournemouth, I went down with John to visit her. It was a blowy, gusty sort of day, and when I asked them what they wanted to do, they chose the beach. It was deserted; we improvised a shelter, then we splashed into the wild sea. Or evenings, boating...
House of Happy Talk. Kauai ("The Garden Island") likes to think it has best safeguarded the ancient Hawaiian traditions of hospitality. The "Aloha spirit" has been adulterated on bustling Waikiki with too many cheap grass skirts and plastic leis. But it still thrives on Kauai, where farmers tend their lush taro patches and fish with nets from the reefs much as their forefathers did. Local boys and girls mingle with the young crowd of guests in the Prince Kuhio piano bar of the new Kauai Surf, at Kalapaki Bay, whe ~e the waves come in just right for beginning surfers...
