NEWS
OF THE BANDS
This year Glenridge
has three bands under the direction of Mr. Don Kennings.
The Captain
of our senior band of about 70 members is Steve Van
Ore. Head majorette is Charlotte Mc Kim, with Mary Ann
Brown and Pam Stapley as regular majorettes. David Farr
is 1st Lieutenant of the band, and Carol Skelton and
Sharon May are 2nd Lieutenants.
The band has
been out drilling and marching on the football field
for the past two weeks in preparation for our first
game of the football season on October 3. |
IF
YOU SHOULD MEET April MacDonald and she is muttering
something under her breath, give her your sympathy.
The loss of her pet turtle from Mr. Vickers' aquarium
has her quite unhinged. April hatched said turtle
from what she thought was a coral snake egg, and had
grown quite fond of the nickle-sized creature.

LO, THE POOR INDIAN!
During the
first two weeks of this school session Mrs. Sory's social
studies classes were investigating the life and hard
times of our various Indian tribes.
The four main
types of Indians were presented in may interesting projects
and demonstrations. They were the Woodland, Plains,
Pueblo and Fisherman Indians.
Among the projects
displayed before the classes were a Rain Dance by Tom
Lawton, Jeff Arnold's spear and shield representing
the Plains Indians, and Nancy Collins' and Brenda Smith's
models on the Fishing Indians. Pam Fetlow created a
Pueblo house out of cement. |
In Mrs. Beasley's
fifth period class there is a girl who has a mechanical
compulsion. Last week she took her Singer completely apart.
Now she's hunting for the book to tell her how to put
it back together again. |

| Claudia
Davis departed for New York in fine style, with a group
of her buddies entertaining her at Herb's on September
17. Joline Gilchrist, Patty Pearson, Ethel Aydelotte,
Diane Anderson and Shirley Deaton were there. It was supposed
to be a "hen party" but somehow the news leaked
and a good many of the fellows showed up. |
| ******************** |
| Now we hear
Mr. Vickers has lost a corn snake. Could it be the turtle
and the snake eloped? With all the romance we see budding
at Glenridge, certainly nothing is impossible. |

According
to the grapevine, the only slips in Mr. Sewell's math
classes aren't the arithmetic kind. We're fascinated,
Alicia! |
| Mr.
Ansley's seventh grade classes have a new resident with
long ears and a smooth light brown and white coat. He
is less than one year old and his name is Mischief.
If you haven't
already guessed, Mischief is a male rabbit given to
the class by Wanda Bruggs. Wanda has five other rabbits
to sell. For further details, phone MI 4-1739.
Other members
of the class include two more rabbits, two snakes, a
pair of hamsters, frog, fish, turtles, and about 40
human beings. |

| Quite
a few of Glenridge's younger members are brushing up their
dancing technique at Mrs. Ziegler's Wednesday night class.
Seen there on September 19th were Susan Varner, Frances
Goodson, Donna St. James, Nancy Dechert, Marge Mc Junkins,
Judy Schmidt, Jennifer Craig, April Mac Donald and Diane
Hagan. Mike Born, John Gurney, Danny Draper, Jon and Don
Wilkins, Pete Cashore, Gary Devane were their very able
partners. |
