STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS
QUIET DAY
On
Friday, December 5th, the W.P.H.S. Student Council
sponsored a "Quiet Day."
The students were not supposed to
talk after entering the school grounds in the morning
until the pep rally in the afternoon. The silence
helped the students save all their energy for the
pep rally, and the Graham Bowl game the following
day. Any student caught talking throughout the day
was branded with a red "A" (meaning Auburndale
traitor) on his forehead by either a football player
or cheerleader.
Since teachers could talk and could
give permission to a student to talk, the day wasn't
perfectly quiet, but the main purpose of the day was
achieved.
It proved very amusing to see students silently trying
to purchase supplies in the office, trying to order
lunches in the cafeteria, and trying to communicate
with each other in the classrooms and the halls.
The pep rally was certainly an improvement
over those in the past; and it was really a sight
to see so many people with "A's" on their
foreheads. Most surprising of all was the sight of
nearly all the football players and cheerleaders with
"A's" on their foreheads!
Climaxing the pep rally was a cheer
given by the cheerleaders with "A's" for
the students with "A's". This cheer proved
to be almost as loud as when the entire student body
cheered!! Oh, well, it was a new idea, it was fun,
and it worked quite well, except for the jinxes put
on the 'Cats by so many traitors!

Thursday
night, December 4th, in the auditorium, the Junior Class
presented "Stunt Night on Broadway," directed
by Linda Bussells and Jean Mason.
Since it was the first school affair
to be held in the new auditorium at night, there was
a full house. Nearly 750 students, faculty, and parents
attended.
Three representatives from WDBO-TV,
the Orlando Sentinel-Star, and the Orlando Convention
Bureau acted as judges of the various performances.
Third place was awarded to Sally Lovett
for her two torch songs, "Let Me Be Loved,"
and "Happy Days and Lonely Nights." Second
place was awarded to six junior girls for their Charleston
act. First place was originally awarded to the Bonnevilles,
a five piece jazz combo; but since first place entitled
the winners to perform at the P-TA New Years Party,
and they had a previous engagement for that night, first
place was then awarded to Patty Stevens, Sheila Carter,
and Joann Horvath for their modern jazz dance to "Night
Train."
As the show came to a close with the
entire cast singing "There's No Business Like Show
Business," it was very easy to see the audience's
unanimous approval of the Junior Class' production,
