THE KILT
September 10, 1957
   "We're from Glenridge, and we couldn't be prouder! . . . . "
FLORIDA'S KEY DEER


   So go the words of one of our most popular school cheers. But what do we mean by ... "we couldn't be prouder!"? Are we boasting only about our football and basketball teams? No! That ever-popular robust yell means that we're proud of everything about Glenridge - a fine student body, a wonderful faculty, our school spirit, our modern school buildings -proud of everything that is a part of our lives at Glenridge.

   Our buildings are not yet two years old. There are still many things to be done in order to make Glenridge complete. Replacing campus weeds with grass; building a gym and, perhaps, bleachers for the athletic field are some of our more obvious needs. We need these things but they will require money and time.

   Meantime the faculty and student body are building Glenridge in more important ways. Together, in our new school, we are shaping the traditions, the standards, and the spirit that will remain with Glenridge for many years to come.

   Each person has a role to play. Everyone's role is alike, except that it is up to the eighth and ninth graders to set examples for our newly registered seventh grade.

   How about adopting the following creed?

   We play hard and study hard. We take part in school activities. We support our teams. We keep our campus clean. We keep our classrooms and halls orderly. We protect school property so that all may enjoy Glenridge.

THE KILT

   This is your newspaper. It will bring you news of your school. It will keep you informed about our sports and other activities. It will survey our problems as a school, and try to find a solution for them.

   The Special English class, with the supervision of some Ninth grade students, will produce the paper. Two complete staffs will alternate in bringing out the paper each week.

   You are invited to submit news, feature stories, social events, jokes, etc. This is your newspaper -- make it serve you!

   Deep in the Florida Keys there remain but a few herd of our almost extinct Key Deer.

   Once these tiny creatures, who are about the size of a medium Boxer or Collie, roamed the Keys in vast herds. But a recent census shows only about 32 animals remaining.

   The first enemy of these exquisite little creatures were poachers who ran their hounds through the woods chasing the deer into nets, or before hunter's guns. Now speeding motorists have added their callous indifference to the slaughter.

   If you are interested in saving the Key Deer from extinction write to your Congressman and ask him to support the Key Deer Bill.

   This book, THE PHANTOM DEER by Joseph W. Lippencott, is a book all of you will enjoy.

   Florida wildlife combined with human nature, a pinch of danger and crime thrown in, make a fascinating, never-to-be forgotten mixture.

   The hunters and poachers were quickly exterminating the tiny Florida Key Deer until Hickey, a Florida cracker, with his young nephew, Jack, accompanied by Jack's dog, Towser, step in. Their anxiety is deepened when they tame a young Key deer which they fear will be slaughtered as gruesomely as the rest.

   Lippencott has brought all the dramatic effect and exciting mood into this book that can possibly be crammed between two covers.

   Mr. Lippencott has also written a number of similar books. A sportsman, hunter, author and publisher, he has hunted and fished in some of the wildest parts of North America and made several valuable collections for museums. His books about outdoor life are popular for their lively narratives and scientific accuracy.
