GLENRIDGE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
NOVEMBER 19, 1957
   THE AREA UNDER THE GRANDSTANDS IS becoming quite a popular spot. Some of the most prominent ninth graders were seen "looking for programs" during the Howard game.
A NINTH GRADE TEACHER WHO CHAPERONED an eighth grade party on November 2 is claiming he had quite an education.
MR. WILLIAMS HAS HIT UPON A NEW TECHNIQUE in his eighth grade science class. He gives the students a five minute break in each class, after which they are supposed to pay stricter attention. Does it work?
QUITE A FEW OF OUR GLENRIDGE LADS are turning up at school and social functions with firecrackers. Since firecrackers are strictly illegal these crackers just might be headed for a fire in an area that makes sitting uncomfortable.
ONE EIGHTH GRADE GIRL CAME TO A PARTY IN skin-tight pedal pushers. We hear she had seam trouble, too. We couldn't care less.
IF YOU THINK THE RIVALRY BETWEEN CLASSES in the magazine drive is rough, you ought to hear the rivalry between faculty members.
SOME TEACHERS ARE GETTING SO INTRIGUED by the boys' hair styles they can't keep their minds on teaching. Jim Bond, with his misplaced D.A. had Mrs. Craig absolutely mesmerized.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME PARTY LINDA F. gave if the festivities kept Gay Gay Williams awake all across Lake Osceola!
CLAUDIA MUSSELWHITE DID A GOOD job of convincing the boys in her eighth grade speech class that Modern Jazz Class at the Royal School is a fun way to get rhythm.
MR. KENT AND MR. POLLACK HAVE been volunteered by the six period class to travel around the earth in the next Russian satellite called Kentnick.
MISS ADAMS AND MISS FOLSUM went on a "hunting trip" during the long weekend. North Georgia was the destination. Were there bears in them thar hills?
WHICH SEVENTH GRADE FOOTBALL PLAYER SPENDS HIS SUNDAYS at Glenridge practicing a field goal kick? He's the only one in the seventh grade who lettered this year and the coaches have great confidence in his future. M.B. are the initials.

  Linda Ferguson gave a party at her
lakefront home in Winter Park on the
night of November 2.

Seen enjoying the confusion of cokes,
candies, and cherry bombs were: Liz
Bennett, Bobbie Dixon, Cathie Skinner,
Pam Anderson, Carol Ure, Norene
Light, Sandy Apgar, Cindy Flowers,
Sigrid Bergstrom, Linda Myrick, Chip Schram
Jim Henry, Steve Stevenson, Bill Dick, Corky Higgins,
Bill Collier, John Prevatt, Tim Bassler, and Gary Ford.

     They all claim to have had a "really roaring" time. Guess who chaperoned the little monsters - Mr. Sewell!
 
On November 2 JoAnn Ross treated her gang to a super dinner party. Dinner included barbecured hamburgers, salad, coke and apple cider. Guests danced, watched T.V., gabbed around the fire, played pingpong, sang, and some of the boys even played football! Those invited were Judy Teague, Pudd Mudd, Judy Reding, Frank Ferguson, Fred Hale, Dewey Ramsby, Sandy Cash, Rusty Doolitle, Phyllis Bischard, Chan Muller, Fran Ussery, John Cash, and Bruce MacMillan.

     "Mother is nosy"...that's the only word for it! "She always wants to know where I've been, where I am now, and where I am going next ... and what I'm going to do when I get there!"

     This is one of the most familiar complaints ... it is also one of the most understandable. Your consciousness of yourself as an individual, and your natural desire for privacy develop markedly at this age.

     But, did you ever stop to think why your mother is so fascinated with you right now? Her role all through your life has been one of guidance and caring for you. To her, her job is not yet done. These years she knows are among the most important in all your life. On them depend your success and satisfaction in the future. She would be ignoring her responsibility if she did not follow with interest all of your activities.

     Think of this the next time Mother seems to be snooping.
