WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey. March 23, 2005: Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connors reported that White Plains High School was referring most, if not all of the students involved in last Wednesday's preplanned St. Patrick's Day morning party, to the high school counseling program on alcohol abuse.

Connors stated today that there was alcohol on the premesis on Baylor Circle, (just off the high school athletic fields in Havilands Manor)  but "there was no proof any one of the students was drinking (at the time the party was interrupted." Police said the party was interdicted by the White Plains Police at between 10:30 and 11 A.M. on March 17.

Asked if this meant the party had been broken up by White Plains Police before the drinking had begun, Mr. Connors said he did not know that, but "clearly, we're grateful we were aware there might be a party there."

Connors reported that 20 to 24 children taken to Eastview School after they were retrieved by police were being disciplined under the high school code of conduct for cutting classes and leaving school illegally, and had already received their punishments. He said it is not school policy to reveal what the penalties were, but "whatever the code of conduct penalties were, that's what they were."

Asked what packaging and varieties of alcoholic beverages were found on the premises, Connors said he did not know.
