| The
tests were taken in individual homerooms, with Mr. Stockard
giving instructions over the inter-communication system.
Their purpose was to examine our abilities in English,
Mathematics, and in Reading.
Ask
any ninth grader what he or she thought of the tests.
First you'll hear a long, exhausted sigh; then a list
of woes about the things he didn't know.
Yes,
the whole ninth grade has its fingers crossed until
the results come in.

THE
LION'S DEN, Glenridge's literary magazine, will publish
two issues this year with Mrs. Bridges and Mr. Weidley
as sponsors.
The
first edition will be published sometime in December.
The sponsors plan to have a creative writing contest,
with prizes given in each of the three grades.
Students
are urged to start thinking about material they would
like to submit. Short stories, poems, essays, and various
types of art work will be needed.
For
a teenager there is no such period as "between
meals".
Anytime
parents think their children are dumb, we suggest they
try taking a six weeks examination. |
Mr.
Williams' third period social studies class had a hot
panel discussion on the subject of Governor Faubus'
action in Little Rock's integration.
Several
points were brought up, including the constitutional
right of the Supreme Court to declare a social law without
such a law being passed by Congress.
Lynn
Kelly was our moderator, asking many thought-provoking
questions. Nothing was definitely decided, but we all
gained a new perspective on the problem.

Glenridge's
Dad's Club is off to a good start this year with over
one hundred members and more coming in every day.
This
year the Dad's Club is offering prizes to the first
and second homerooms bringing in the greatest number
of members.
Go
home and prod Papa into joining. This is an activity
in which everybody benefits-the Glenridge Sports Program,
the students, and, of course, the Dads, who will have
the opportunity to build the kind of sports program
they want for their children.
A
smart student is one who knows when it isn't safe to
laugh. |
