To
raise money for a scholarship to put some deserving
student through Dog Obedience School, the talented
teachers of Glenridge took down their collective
hair, and produced the FACULTY FOLLIES March 30.
Outstanding in the program
was a ballet - "Beauty and the Beast"
performed by the famous adagio team - Richard
and Kathleen Weidley. The act brought down the
house.
This necessitated a brief
intermission while a comedy team - ROW AND HIS
ROWDIES, including Ramsby, Doolittle, Mooney,
and Giannini, repaired the damaged with bubble
gum and bent bobby pins.
"High Pockets Kent",
formerly with Ringling Brothers, displayed his
uncanny balancing ability by perching on a spinning

Two
of Glenridge's misleading citizens, Mr. Everitt
Bland and Mrs. Ruth Sory, were hawled into Honor
Court this past week, after a long record of delinquency.
Mr. Bland, who had been apprehended
sneaking to his locker during the wrong period pleaded
guilty.
"I don't know why I keep doing
it. It's just that I hear voices telling me..."
"No excuse," snapped Judge
Chan Muller. "Every one in Glenridge hears
voices. It's the darn intercom. I sentence you to
permanent bus duty."
"Anything but that," Mr. Bland
sobbed. "I'll pick sandspurs, swab rest rooms,
unplug mustard bottles... Anything ut permanent
bus duty!"
Deputies of the court - Tom Newbold
and Chris Tarre, were required to drag him to the
bus platform (Continued) |

The
Orange County Board of Education passed by an overwhelming
minority a new law reducing the school day from seven
to four hours, with an hour out for lunch. After April
2 students will arrive for school at 10 A.M. and leave
at 2 P.M.
The reason given for this
new schedule is that the recently instituted acceleration
program has so speeded up the learning process teachers
are running out of what they know faster, and must
be given extra planning time to prepare for the next
day's lessons.
"It's mathematical,"
said Glenridge's Mr. Richard Sewell. "The faster
you go, the quicker you get there, the sooner you
are out of gas."
"The same thing happened
when I put the assembly line in for Henry Ford, "declared
Col. Wood. "Production was speeded up so much
twenty five men mounted engines in filing cabinets
before they realized they were out of chassis. Right
there I got the idea for the first small car...
Students interviewed had mixed
reactions toward the new schedule:
JACK BILLINGHAM: "Gee,
what'll I do till Mickey Mouse club comes on?"
ANN SPAULDING: "Goody,
now I can wear my bermudas three hours more a day!"
GENE MULLINS: "Gosh,
plaguing teachers is my main recreation. I'll be out
some fun."
