Vol. III, No. 4
GLENRIDGE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
OCTOBER 1, 1957
ALUMNI RETURN



   Because of crowded class rooms, Mr. Stockard has hired three more teachers. They are Mr. Val Weisner who will teach math, English, and social studies; Mr. Norris Miner, who will teach math and social studies; and Miss Deborah Mosher, who will teach Mrs. Pollard's 7th and 9th grade English classes.

   There is also a possibility that Glenridge might add new sections in the 8th and 9th grades.


STUDENTS FLOCK
TO FIRST DANCE

     In spite of the wet weather, and a few hot tempers the Get Acquainted Dance, given September 20 was a smashing success.

     A good selection of popular music was played, and at 9:00 P.M. the members of the Royal School of Dance gave a delightful entertainment.

   The LIONS meet their first team at Harper-Shepperd Field, October 3, at 7:30 PM.

   A record crowd is expected for this initial game of the season, and students are urged to purchase their tickets before going to the game. Student tickets are .30 and adults .60.

   Come and bring your parents. They'll enjoy it.

WATER BALLET
MEETS == LANGFORD

   The Langford Pool on Wednesday nights between 7:30 and 8:30, is the scene for many Glenridge mermaids to work. These energetic maids are training to be a unit of the Acqua Stars, a large organization of girls who perform water ballets.

   When completely trained, these girls will be in professional shows. Any money earned will be split between the Langford, the instructors, the director, and the stars. Part of the training will be a brief course in modeling, and the experience of designing the costumes they will wear in the shows.

   Joann Ross and Susan Chace come in from Maitland to the rehearsals. Jeannie Jones and Lynn Ricks are becoming real masters of the underwater art. Paul Nagel, Judy Reding, Heather Marwick are the seals. Linda Schmidt, Jackie Cook, Mary Ann Brown, and Judy Teague are eager puppies.

   The seventh grade and all transfer students were assembled on September 25, for a program explaining the several awards given each year.

     Last year's award winners returned from Winter Park High School and Edgewater High School to tell the qualifications each honor award required.

     BOB SUTPHEN told about the American Legion Award. Michael Winniger explained the Sportsmanship Award he was given. Mike Mosher described the qualities necessary to achieve the best Athlete Award. Mike Stearman told the purpose of the Rotary Club Merit Award, and Lois Rayl spoke on Glenridge's Citizenship Award.

     These Honor Society members performed a skit to inform the students about the high standards necessary to be elected to Honor Society: Sandra Wilson, Richard Winslow, Steve Van Ore, Nancy Lundahl, David Eckardt, and Noralee Reicherts.

GLENRIDGE  GIRLS  ON  WDBO  -  TV

     Members of Glenridge's Homemaking classes presented a program, HOW TO CARE FOR THE SICK, on WDBO-TV, September 28, at 12:15 P.M.

     Participating were Sandy Flowers, Sandy Cash, Joann Horvath, Becky Thornton, Diane Anderson, Joann Ross, Bonnie Boone, Mona Barnhart, Karen Rothrock, Gail Shipley, Judy Reding, Carol McConnell, and Marilyn Henderson.     

 

The program was based on a study course now being given at Glenridge under the direction of Miss Darlene Bowen, Director of Nursing Service of Orange County Chapter of the Red Cross. It is a new approach to teaching home nursing and Glenridge is the only school in the area privileged to use it this year.

     On November 2 at 12:15 P.M. other Glenridge girls will present a sequel to this program on WDBO-TV. DONT MISS IT!
