< ^ The Schreiber Times Vol. XXVIII Paul D. Schreiber High School Wednesday, September 30, 1987 ZANETTI TAKES CHARGE Board Names Guidance Head as Acting Principal

by Dave Weintraub When Dr. Frank Banta, Schreiber's principal for eight years, departed at the end (rf the last school year for a different job, he left some large shoes to fill. The school board and Superintendent Dr. William Heebink set out on a search for a new principal over the summer. Many applicants were reviewed, but no one was picked. The board and Dr. Heebink decided to extend the search through the 1987-88 school year. To fill the void Dr. Banta had left, they asked John Zanetti, Chairman of the Guidance Department, to serve as acting principal. He accepted, and was given a ten-month contract, which began in September. Most people who know Mr. Zanetti know him as a soft- spoken and amiable man. He has been in the Port Washington school system for many years, and he had humble beginnings. He started work at Salem School as a physical education teacher in 1958. He stayed there for six years and during that time in- troduced wrestling and lacrosse to the high school. He became the first coach of those teams. After Salem, he taught physical educa- tion at Schreiber for two years. He became a guidance counselor in 1967. He was appointed guidance chairman in 1980. He has now moved to the top of Schreiber's administrative lad- der. Has his transition been smooth? "I have an ulcer," he jokes. "Actually, I think I've ad- justed better than I thought I would. I feel that a lot of what I'm doing is similar to what I did as guidance chairman - and that's working with people, people who are happy and people who are unhappy. I think the difference is the breadth of what I'm involved in now. I was responsible for eight counselors, and the student (Continued on Page 3) New State Law Varsity Football Halts Candy Sales Coverage Before Lunch Inside Sports . . . page 2 Back P a g e s f * • U \ew Law Regulates Candy Sales I by Susan Igel & Brian Hecht school year, but because ordering granola bars, cookies, H Students intending to patronize Schreiber has no established Combos, and Planters nuts and OS the school store on the morning of lunch hour, the candy ban was snacks.
