Junior Hi-Y News

   The Junior Hi-Y is really going "great guns" this year. They are first of all to be congratulated on the success of their Thanksgiving project. The boys prepared a basket of food for a needy family with enough food to last approximately one week.
    On Wednesday, the seventh of this month, the boys honored their fathers with a Father-Son banquet at the Congregational Church in Winter Park. About 40 people attended and heard Frank Ferguson speak on his trip to Europe. Many of the mothers turned out to help with the food and the boys served their fathers. The menu included: fried chicken, baked potatoes, green peas, tossed salad, and ice cream. Sounds as if all those who attended really had a very enjoyable time.
   As a Community Service Project the boys have made arrangements to get a flag pole for Ward Park. They hope to have it by the end of the Christmas holidays. The money from the recent car wash will help to pay for this much needed addition to our football stadium.

CHRISTMAS COURT
By Jeannie Jones

   Barbara McCartney, when asked how she felt about being on the Christmas Court, said "What do you mean how do I feel? You know how I feel, wonderful, fabulous!" Barb plans on wearing her long hair down which will be beautiful with her floor length formal. Lucky Julius Mullins will escort this SENIOR lovely to the dance.
   Susan Chace is planning on wearing her hair up in a newly fashioned hair style. Susan thinks that being in the court is the most wonderful surprise she's had in a long time. Jim Harmeling, from the U. of Fla., will escort this stunning girl to the formal. Suzie Miller's first thought after finding that she was on the Court was "Bob (Wiser) will be so proud!" Bob attends Duke in N.C., and he will escort "Milly" to Winter Park's Christmas Formal. Suzie hasn't decided yet whether she will wear her hair down on in a French twist!
   Lynn Ricks says, "I was very much surprised and after they called my name, it still hadn't hit me". Lynne's mother will make this member of the Court a black lace formal. Frankie Harris will escort Miss Ricks to the dance.
   Linda Schmidt said with a big smile, "I've never been so happy!" Ronnie Peacock will take Linda to the dance. Linda, a tall, attractive brunette, will wear a red formal.
   Jacque Cook will appear at the dance in a powder blue formal. The satin bodice is beaded and the skirt of the dress is of net. Charlie Brooking will escort cute "Cookie" on the night of the big dance!
   Rosemarie Vardell said "I'm just so very happy and I wish everyone could feel as I do!" Rose plans on wearing a white satin floor length formal which has a bow in the front. Tommy Seals will be the escort of this SENIOR miss.

Christmas Assembly Tomorrow

      The traditional Christmas Assembly is to be held in the WPHS auditorium on Friday the 16th. The club which has been sponsoring this assembly for the past few years is the Campus Crusaders.
      President Susan Carter is also the director of the pageant. The Christmas pageant portrays the birth of Christ in still life. There are no props with the exception of the manger.
      The parts of Mary and Joseph are played by Jeannie Williams and Tim Hartung. Shepherds are Ken Minameyer, Ray Myers, Chan Muller, Dennis Rajala, Ronnie Peacock and Nick Groves. The angels are played by Pat Beck, Eleanore Swan, Ann Joslyn, Mary Carter, Connie Shoup, Marthabelle Husmann, and Marilyn Murphy. Wise men bringing gifts are portrayed by Greg Holland, George Fisher, and Jim Ferguson. The role of Herod the King is played by Ed Fishback. Sharon Hayes, Karen Kane, Kathy Adkins, Becky Thorton, Ann Spaulding and Tony Sayre depict the angels at the manger in the final scene.
      Lenora Delvecchio and Frank Ferguson will be helping backstage. Mr. Hotaling is directing the Glee Club with music for the pageant.

Jr. Class News

   The Junior Class has been buzzing with excitement lately. So many projects have been proposed for the year, under the able leadership of President Mike Kelly. The Prom is to be the highlight of all the planned activities.
   Juniors are busy selling 'Wildcat' sweatshirts to the students of the school. We hope all will want to purchase one. After all, why not go along with the crowd?
   The class is also beginning work on the Prom. Already the "Theme" committee has met and is planning for the special activity. Excitement is high as many clever themes are under consideration. This year's Prom promises to be the "best ever".
   Basketball season is here as we all know. The Junior Class is especially enthusiastic about the season because it has the "concessions" for all the games played in the Winter Park gym. Any money-making project is welcome to the students of the Junior Class.
   Those are just a few of the ideas the Junior Class has in mind. A busy group -- don't you agree?

SR. CLASS NEWS

   The Senior class's main project to date is the Christmas Formal, and they have done very well in this.
   Winter Park High student body is in for a wonderful big surprise! Noticed any sly looks on several SENIOR faces at the mention of the Christmas formal? Well, if you're an observant person you no doubt have caught these looks and wondered as to the reason for said. The only cure we have for your curiosity is to suggest one or two tickets to the 1960 Christmas Formal!
   For all the flake-outs (the class enthused members of our honorable school) we'll drop a few hints. See what you can do with Mimi, New York, and "red", and if that isn't enough, throw "silver" in too!

Tri-Hi-Y Holds
Convention

By Helen Grabber

      A few weeks ago, W.P.H.S. was represented at a convention for the Tri-Hi-Y clubs held in St. Augustine. The S.S.S. Tri-Hi-Y was well represented by Nancy Thompson, Pat Erle, Cheryl Prichard, Sally Ross, Elnora Wright, Betsy Cragg, Linda Poulton, Mary Jane Potocki and Jan Carrol. W.C.W. sent Chip Furr, Mary Cash, and Monica Goubou.
      The girls left Winter Park bright and early Saturday morning, and arrived in St. Augustine in the early afternoon. They spent part of the day in various workshops devoted to the different phases of Tri-Hi-Y work. Of course, being naturally curious, the girls went sight-seeing, and St. Augustine is a splendid place for that! (The Was Museum really enthralled you, didn't it Nancy?) A banquet and dance topped off the day.
      After church and a huge breakfast, the meetings were adjourned, and off they went ... sight-seeing again! This trip uncovered a "perfectly divine" pastry shop. (We'll diet tomorrow, is that it, girls?)
      A doublt treat was discovered on sunday, for Mary Jane turned "Sweet Sixteen". This called for a real bang-up celebration. A birthday cake, paper hats, noise makers, balloons, and a surprised and thrilled Mary Jane made a perfect end to the trip.
      The delegates came back with many new ideas, and memories of a wonderful trip. What more could we ask?

Team Receives
National Recognition

      The national headquarters of the A.A.U. (Amateur Athletic Union) has notified local officials that the O.S.A.'s senior girl's relay team placed second in the nation in the 200 yd. medley relay, losing by only 0.3 seconds to the national champions of Ponte Verda Beach, Fla.
      Winter Parkers on the O.S.A.'s championship team are Jaenie Britt, Bobbie Sias, and Salli Tyler. Ex-Winter Parker Diana Todd, now lives in Tampa, is also on the team.
      The Orange Swim Association senior girl's relay team is coached by Dr. Ted Dippy. For the fourth straight year, the Association's relay teams have placed among the top three in the nation with two national championships, two seconds, and two third places.

Dunn Stars Cat's Line-Up

      Each week we will be spotting one of our varsity basketball players from the court to the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc news desk.
      This week's salute goes to Senior Carl Dunn. Carl is one of the four seniors who will be playing his last year for Winter Park.
      Before coming to Winter Park, Carl attended Salem High School in Salem, Ohio. He played three years there before lettering in varsity basketball last year. Dunn also played halfback on the football team this year.
      His most threatening shot is from the side court and Carl is also outstanding on the backboards for the cagers.
      Good Luck Senior basketball player and Hi-Y member, Carl Dunn.
