Award
MONEY!   MONEY!   MONEY!

     Stu Smith assisted by Chip Schram and Buster Judy, really pulled a "gooney" escapade not too long ago. These three villains were in the Senior locker room doing their best to flirt with Jeanne Britt when a stalwart female grabbed Stu by the ear. All set for a friendly wrestling match, he took her by the arm and gave it an affectionate twist. Then, Mrs. Hill yelled for him to let go. Congratulations Stu, the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc names you it's Goon Boon this week!

By Pamme Anderson

   A brief summary of the P.T.A. meeting held in the auditorium on Monday, November 28th, would probably dwell on the subject of funds that are needed in order that we might be able to fulfill the Evaluation Committee's recommendations. Probing into the matter a little further, we find more specific topics of discussion.
   Mrs. Jack Howden, acting as moderator of a panel made up of members of our faculty, lead the discussion. Others participating were: Mrs. Ramsdell, Mrs. Winslow, Mrs. Blickman, Miss Wharton, and Mrs. Williams.

DID   YOU    KNOW?
   Most of us go to school 2,000 minutes each week??? There are 163 doors in Winter Park High School?? We drink 125 quarts of tea every week?? It takes 69 steps to go from the cafeteria to the main office?? There are 91 venetian blinds in this school?? And, last but not at all least, there are 35 tables in the cafeteria????

   For the most part, the conversation revolved around the subject of enrichment. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Winslow made a strong plea for more concentration in this area. Mrs. Fitzpatrick pointed out that a course in general music offered this year couldn't materialize because only four students signed up for it.
   Mrs. Ramsdell stated that parents SHOULD NOT stress a rigid academic program for their child because many students are now carrying overloaded schedules and programs which are resulting in the detriment of "all work and no play."

LIBRARY NOTES

   Our library has recently received approximately 200 new books for our reading pleasure.
   The EDGE OF TOMORROW, one of these books, by Doctor Thomas A. Dooley, is the exciting story of six young Americans who travel without pay or material recompose of any kind, to a remote part of the world in order to combat the two greatest evils afflicting it; disease and communism.
   At Nam Tha, Laos, 5 miles from Red China, they built a small bamboo hospital on stilts. Despite anti-American sentiment, so great was their desire to help overcome such illness as leprosy, cholera, whooping cough, and dysentery that these six determined that they could eventually win the friendship of these people.
   Do they overcome the anti-American sentiment? Read Dr. Thomas A. Dooley's "EDGE OF TOMORROW."

SCHOLARSHIP NEWS

   What college should I attend? What are the requirements for our state universities? Can I get a scholarship? This week we would like to tell you a little about Florida State University and the University of Florida.
   Location: Florida State University is situated in Tallahassee, while the University of Florida is located in Gainesville.
   College admission requirements are as follows: You must be a graduate of an accredited high school and have a minimum score of 200 on the Senior Tests. No particular program of studies is required but experience shows that 4 years of English; 3 years of math; 2 years of Science; and 3 years of social sciences, included PAD, are recommended for preparation.
   The expenses are about $1200


to $1500 a year.
   There are few scholarships for Freshmen except in certain fields such as athletics and music. However, State Teaching and Nursing Scholarships of $400 to $500 a year are available for those students who plan to enter these fields in the state of Florida. There are also cooperative living houses on both campuses which can cut expenses 50%.
   Although state universities will not give acceptance until after the Florida Senior Test results are available (second semester) it is wise to apply before Christmas or as soon as possible in order to reserve housing.
   Mrs. Ramsdell comments "Your state universities are easy to get into but even easier to get out of if you are not ready to work."
