The
Tartan Tattler
WHAT,
EVERYONE IS ASKING, IS THE B.V.D. CLUB? The
announcement about a meeting of same caused
a flurry of excitement. |
|
| SOME
PEOPLE ARE CALLING MR. ANSLEY the svengali of
education. You'd have to know the story to get
the drift. |
|
| THOSE
TWO NEW INTERNS IN PHYS. ED are creating quite
a buzz among the young ladies in the school.
One of the teachers think it is cozy to have
one of them around, too. |
|
| HAVE
YOU NOTICED THE SWINGING DOORS baring the way
to Mr. Stockard's office? We understand they
are hung in a way guaranteed to spank you on
the way out. |
|
| THERE
IS ANOTHER "HAM" in the Glenridge
population. This ham, K4LEG, is a girl. Kathy
Halburton, is her name, or "Peanuts".
Her homeroom is 7-4. |
|
| THAT
MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A SOB STORY Mrs. Bridges
read to The Plaid Club. Cathy Skinner was crying
so hard you could hardly hear Mrs. Bridges. |
|
| WE
HEAR THAT JAN CARROLL IS MISSING GYM so much
these cod days that she is doing push-ups before
some classes. |
|
| JULIUS
MULLINS HAS QUITE A SYSTEM. He rides his bike
to school, and then makes his brother Gene carry
it home so Julius can stroll along with guess
who? |
|
| MR.
HAMMOND HAD HIS CLASSES IN TEARS this past week.
It wasn't a sad story he told, merely the vibrations
from a tuning fork. Maybe this is how Hollywood
gets its heroines to weep. |

| Boomerangs
Are Booming |
It's
a bird! It's a plane! Whizzzzzzz! DUCK! It's
a boomerang - or, at least, that's what the
boys who make them say they are. Some of Mr.
Roy's students are undertaking the Australian
art of making boomerangs. There is some argument
as to whether or not they really are boomerangs,
because most of them travel in a mighty straight
circle.
The boys, having no
testing ground, have found the physical education
field quite adequate. Ask any girl with a
flat top how she got it. She'll tell you she
forgot to duck.
Count it be the students
are stocpiling these muscular weapons to defend
our country. That's an idea - a boomerang
with a nuclear warhead! They could call themselves
- the Orangoutangs with the Boomerangs. Their
slogan - "We boom, you ZOOM!"
Unless you want to
lose your heads, stay clear of the Sand Spur
Testing Grounds.

| Will
Space Travel Help? |
Many
people today are asking the question, "Is
space flight going to help or hurt the world?"
It is my opinion that the world will greatly
benefit from our explorations into outer space.
Scientists will gain
invaluable information about conditions outside
the gravitational pull of the Earth. They
will also be able to collect data on conditions
on other planets.
It is imperative that
the United States get men on the Moon before
another, unfriendly power does. Otherwise
life on our section of the Earth would be
under constant observation from the Moon.
Also, from that vantage point it would be
possible to interfere with our defense measures.
One of the tangible
benefits of space exploration will be the
discovery of new minerals. One tiny asteroid,
which is a small planet in space, could contain
one billion-dollars worth of iron. The possession
of these natural resources will determine
a country's power.
From a space station
it would be possible to detect the beginning
of destructive storms, such as tornadoes and
hurricanes. Also weather conditions could
be studied on a larger scale.
The age of space travel
is upon us. In the near future you may be
examining the craters of the moon. Yours may
be the hand to pull the lever launching a
missile. This will be a fascinating age in
which to live - an age of discovery and progress.
