WPHS   At   WPYC
Ceremonies
by Dodi Simmerson
   On Saturday, April 15, many saw their dreams come true as they participated in the dedication of the new Winter Park Youth Center. This center means a completely new outlook for Winter Park.
   A parade of many gaily decorated cars, started at WPHS and traveled through town to Ward Park for the dedication. The Senior Hi-Y All American Boys looked sharp in their white jackets as they proceeded in Chip Schram's new, blue DeSoto convertible decorated with red, white, and blue streamers. The girls from the UCYM were the flapper fancies of the Roaring 20's. Speaking of flappers, Suzanne McMillan almost lost hers!
   Mr. Ken Wacker, sponsor of the Hi-Y Club, acted as master of ceremonies; Max Morris was the student speaker, and Mary Carter turned over the first shovel of dirt. Roy Davis did a fine job of lining up all of the cars and making sure that everyone was in his right place.
   The Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc would like to thank everyone who participated in the dedication of the Youth Center. We know it will be beneficial to all.
PROM ! ! !
   The excitement is mounting around Winter Park High School with the 1961 Junior-Senior Prom around the corner. Yep, tomorrow is the big night ... we can't and won't reveal the theme of the Prom, but the Junior Class has promised music, music, and more music! They will be dancing to the tunes of Billy Vader and his band, and the prom committee has also arranged to have music to fill the intermissions. Guest tickets are available in the main office of Winter Park High School, and they will be available to any Junior or Senior of the school. Remember all, it will be a night to remember!
New   Record!
   Greg Holland, Winter Park's Senior Varsity track star, broke the 440 yard dash record once held by Mike Mosher. Mike previously set the reord in the track season of 1960.
   Greg's new record stands at 52.4 seconds.
KEY    VICTORY
DANCE    HELD
by Pamme Anderson
   Friday night, April 14, a Victory Dance sponsored by the Key Club was held in the cafeteria immediately after the Key Club-Wheel Club annual basketball game. Some of those seen dancing to the dreamy blare of the juke box were: Jo Ann Cunningham and George Bridges, Marcia Gruber and Fred Robinson, Jim Call and Kay Harris, Julie Haynie and Dewey Ramsby, Jim Henry and Linda Tindall, Judi Kirkpatrick and Tim Hartung, Gain Cannon and Dave Smith, Kay Person and Chip Schram, Jeannie Jones and Billy Howell, Nancy Temple and Dave Eckhardt, Ann Spaulding and Allen Burris, Julie Baldwin and Tommy Woodruff, Bill Blackburn, Jane Mitchell, Ellen Igou, Jim Mayer, Judy Hopkins, Randy Hall, and many, many more.
   We hope that at the next school function of this sort, there will be a larger turnout of BOTH sexes. Fellas, when the odds are about three to one, in favor of the gals, the going gets rough!!
EDITORIAL
SENIORS: Are you tired of the daily lunchroom confusion and noise? Tired of being indoors with all that Florida sunshine outdoors? Need a new lunch-room atmosphere? We have just the answer; a SENIOR LUNCH PATIO.
   After 11 long years of school, a student deserves some special privileges as a reward for his "hard" work. A SENIOR LUNCH PATIO COULD PROVIDE JUST THE ANSWER.
   How easily a PATIO could be constructed adjacent to the west door of our cafeteria!
   The PATIO would consist of a low block wall (to keep the lowerclasses out), and a floor with some sort of greenery to add atmosphere. The PATIO would also be equipped with picnic benches for our beloved SENIORS.
   Such a project would not be extravagantly expensive. It has been tried in other schools and worked successfully. If the three classes currently at W.P. could pool their money, the PATIO could be built as a permanent monumental contribution to WPHS.
   This project certainly merits consideration, so please start considering!
