Teachers  Of  The  Week
   Mrs. Miriam Blockman, one of our Senior English teachers, is from New York City. She attended school at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, and received her master's degree from Columbia University.
   When asked what her main interests are, she replied, "Books, my family, and music."
   Mrs. Blockman is quite a traveler, having visited all through Europe and most of the United STates.
Receiving a bloody nose at a school in an underpriviledged area in New York was probably her most embarrassing moment.
   She is very enthusiastic in her comments of W.P.H.S. as she stated "I'm delighted with teaching at W.P.H.S. and I'm thoroughly impressed with the students' enthusiasm for their studies."
   Mr. Robert Appleman one of our Chemistry teachers, ws born in Chicago. He attended John Hopkins University. Buckness University where he received his bachelors degree, and Pen State where he did graduate work. He is now working on his doctor's degree.
   In his spare time Mr. Appleman enjoys bowling and baseball. He is also one of our J.V. football coaches and tennis coach.
   The Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc salutes you, Mrs. Blickman and Mr. Appleman as our teachers of the week!

   Happy Easter! And April Fools! Hope you enjoyed your vacation; just remember it was the last one before the end of the year.
   According to Mr. Johnson (10E), staunch sophomore supporter, sophomores should nominate candidates for the Student Council offices of secretary and treasurer. In order to qualify a candidate must be on the Student Council for at least one semester and not be a presiding officer of more than one club. If you're qualified, by all means, RUN!! Sophomores, let's get behind one of our own and elect him or her to a Student Council office. For more information concerning the election, see Mrs. Ramsdell.
   Nothing else concerning the talent show has been decided on yet. However, it would help if someone (Ned ??) would call a cabinet meeting.

   To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.
   Bad news Cats! Allen Burris, senior second baseman for W.P.H.S., belted a line drive into coach Gordon's hand during batting practice last week. After a thorough examination of the injury, the coach assured the boys that he will be able to continue in the capacity as coach. However, pitcher Larry Bettsinger will hurl for batting practice for the duration of the season.
   Here's the news from our war correspondent in Fort Lauderdale, FLa. It seems that the younger generation had a great deal of success with long range bombing (beer cans, etc.) but the in-fighting honors go to the Lauderdale police and teh National Guard. Central Fla. schools were represented with units from Rollins, Stetson, F.S.U., U. of F., Boone, and W.P.H.S. What's it all about, anyway?
   I wonder when Ronnie's is going to recover from the "Oklahoma" cast party after the final performance. I'll bet that it isn't every night the kitchen is examined by forty gun toten cowboys, but these kids deserved to blow off steam, especially after the great job they did on the show.
