WI-PA-HI-SC dated January 12th, 1961, was made available to us by Frank Ferguson and George Fisher. Thanks for sharing!

   One of the nicest parties of the Christmas season was the one given by Alumni Bill Winderweedle for about 50 of his friends and their dates. The guest list included: Bob Crane with Linda Schmidt, Beaner Howden and Ann Taylor, Lynn Furr and Bob Murdock of St. Pete, Joyce Grimm and Tommy Ross, Marty Willinger with Lance Howden (Lance, dear child, would you please keep your mouth shut!) Jeannie Welch and Phil Hoffman, Sharon O'Neal and Chuck Washburn, Lee Maynard and Anne Laing, Judy Wingate and Terry Egan, Pat Clarke and Johnny Jane, and "Cricket" and "Dude".
   When the clock struck twelve, the merrymakers sure brought the New Year in right! (I think!)
   Brothers Jim and Dan Harmeling were two more party-givers on New Year's Eve. Jim's date was Susan Chace, while brother Dan dated Linda Heizen. The rest of the "gang" consisted of Maurine Doggett with John Myers, Lynn Ricks and Frankie Harris, Fran Ussery with Him Hamilton, "Connie and Chet," Linda Myrick and Bob Sutphen, Jim Ferguson with Sheila Cummings, Susan Carter and Chan Muller, and Ronnie Barger with Sharon Cummings.
   Graduate Tommy Woodruff was also a host on New Year's Eve. Can't get too much information from the group at this party. What's the big secret? Say, Suzie, how was the blazing fire and sweet music this year?
   By the time everybody had recovered on New Year's Day, it was zero hour for Pat Clarke's big shindig! What a party!? While Mr. and Mrs. Clarke entertained their guests in their gorgeous Lake Maitland home, perky Pat was busy playing hostess for many of her friends. A live orchestra provided the music and there was refreshment for everyone! Some of those taking advantage were: Houston Frailey, Mickey Merola of Bishop Moore, Sharon Horner, Suzy Cushing, Carole Giddens, "Nancy", Barbara Cayll, Carole Cubbedge, Jim Gamin, Carole Wingate, Larry Cowart, John Jane, Jim Beckwith, "Little" Wingate, John Wolfe, Dick Rhodes, Joanne Richard, Dwight Andrews, Judy Crawford with Ronnie Cayll, and oodles more. This was truly a party to remember, and who could forget it?
   That about winds it up for this time. See you next issue!

Cupid Comes
              To W.P.H.S.

   Along with Santa came Cupid. Christmas Eve brought Miss Hall, typing teacher at W.P.H.S., an engagement ring. Miss Hall's finance, Charles Padara, is an engineering at Martin Company, and a native of Virginia. Since long-distance courting is impractical, both decided to get positions in Florida. When asked about the new TV set they bought together, Miss Hall refused to comment. As of late, no specific date has been set for the bells to ring.

   On Dec. 24, Suzie Gray and brother David were the host and hostess at a small open house at their Maitland home. Seen eating Miss Gray's fabulous chocolate chip cookies were: Tommy Gibbs, JoAnn Horvath with Mike Mosher, Bob Wiser and Suzie Miller, Wayne Duncan, Julie Baldwin and Tommy Woodruff, and Jeannie Jones with Tom Righetti.
   "Twas the night before Christmas - and many, many people were found at Joy Williams' large and lovely open house. After this, quite a few persons attended Christmas Eve services which was a most fitting way to begin the celebration of the birth of Christ.
   Early Christmas afternoon, the Double F, minus one and plus another (figure that one out!) had a joyous gift - exchanging get-together. Sounds like fun, now tell us, what is the Double F!
   Donna Mueller and Helen Grabber were the popular hostesses at still another open house on Dec. 26. Seen sipping punch and nibbling cookies were Jeff Arnold, Bill Collier, Carl Dunn, John Cash, Buster Judy, Dodi and Greg, Mike Dean, Bill Schwartz, Tom Hughes, Marcia Fosgate, Dave Smith, Ann Jenkins, Charlie Matthews, Kay Harris, JoAnn Cunningham and loads more! Marty Wellinger was there also, and it seems as if she really enjoyed all of the mistletoe - she even went so far as to put a sprig in her hair. Tell us the results, Marty!
   Linda and Judy Schmidt entertained at an open house on the afternoon of Dec. 27.    Approximately 65 girls were there to enjoy the tasty cookies and tangy punch. The girls surely looked chic in their suits or wintery wool sheaths with all of the accessories. Among the guests were Bobbie Sias, Janet Squillante, Emok Papp, sisters Jennie and Joyce Jones, Maryanne Brown, Judy Reding, Nancy Temple, Gail Cannon, Liz Bennett, Diane Beiger, and, naturally many more. After the girls departed, the Schmidts were visited by several boys who brought their own tea bags. What were you up to, fellows?
   On Dec. 29, Jay Hostettler with his date, darling Tony Sayre, threw a gala house-warming party. The guests who enjoyed dancing in the beautiful gameroom were Jody Hopf and Anne Laing, Joe Smart and Jane Moore, Carl Doragan with Kathy Millonig, Chuck Fout and Carol Morris, Tim Boone with Annette McDougald, Craig Martin and Joyce Kirkland, and stags, John Denscombe and Ron Bryson.
   Dodie Rossell was another gal who hosted at a tea, as was SENIOR Bonnie Boone. Linda Heizen, home from King College, and Nancy, her sister, were the co-hostesses at a tea at the Barbizon in Winter Park.
   Among the many girls at Bonnie's tea were: Polly Gouck, Marlee Coddington, Barbara Ferguson, Darla Fessler, Bonnie and Bunnie Pechin, Sharon Spelzhausen, Jeanne Williams, Marty Grove, Ann Jordan, Suzanne McMillan, Sharon MacDonald, Betty Jane Lucius, Becky Thornton, and Helen Whittington.
   Bill Schwartz, talented SENIOR, had a party planned for Bill Sharpe, an ex-Parker, but it seems as if Mr. Sharpe didn't quite make it. Guest of Honor or not, the people who showed up sure had fun!
   Things rocked around this town on New Year's Eve! Jeannie Britt threw an open house from 7:00 'til 9:00 to get everybody in the swing of things. Also, there was the Orlando Youth Center Dance which is an annual affair, and an enjoyable one at that!
   Ray Myers had a quiet (wonder why?) little party for a few of his friends. Pretty Cheryl LaPraise was Ray's date while other close "buddies" included Ken Minameyer and Phyllis Gallahue, Dodi Simmerson with Greg Holland, and Julius Mullins and Barbara McCartney. Things were going along great 'til Ray brought out his camera! Surprised, Julius?

   "Twas the season to be jolly, and weren't we? Parties, parties, parties -- every imaginable kind of party was held over the holidays. The boys played poker while the girls went merrily on their way and attended teas, dressy open houses, luncheons, and "slumberless" parties.
   Nancy Ann Wrenn and Sue Trapnell were two of the first to start off the social whirl. These SENIOR misses entertained at a large open house at Nancy's beautiful Palmer Avenue home. The guests included: Linda Bair, Allen Burris and Ann Spaulding, Bob Danforth, Marcia Gruber with Buster Judy, Neil Haldeman and Karen Rothrock, Betty Jane Lucius and Bill McConnell, Bill Barksdale, Kay Persons, Bill Phillips, Chip Schram, Dave Rees, Ronnie Peacock, Steve Grantham, George Fisher, Johnny Cash, John Bowman, Elmer Bohannon and Carla York, Tommy Bledsoe, Terry Williams, Sari de Holzcer, Carole Hoelle, Jeannie Jones with Jay Landers, and so many more!
   It wasn't long before anticipation grew for the Christmas formal held on Dec. 21 at the Bah Temple in Orlando. Cute Linda Wentworth was the hostess at a breakfast after the dance. Seen eating were: Bill Copley and JoAnn Ross, Susan Chace and Jim Harmeling, Loni Abbotts with Dan Hameling, Mary Jane Ezzard and "Merv", Susan Carter and Chan Muller, Shirley Aners with Larry Finley, Mary Carter and Jon Spradley, and Connie Shoup with Chet Cornwall.
   While these lucky ones enjoyed a "free meal", others were seen digging into the delicious and gigantic desserts at Ronnie's. Among these hungry ones were, Barb McCartney and Julius Mullins, Linda Schmidt and Ron Peacock, Maurine Doggett with Ed Fishback, and Judy Teague and Jim Henry.
   Along came another open house and this time darling Julie Baldwin was the hostess. Perky McKim, Margaret Whittaker, Danny Harmeling, alumni Tommy Woodruff, Larry Elam, Juli Reams, and Donna Shaw were just several of the many who were invited to join in the fun at Julie's
   Oh, and let me not forget about the small Christmas party at the O.A.F.B. on Dec. 22. Those who attended were Joyce Jones and Johnny Ridenour, Nancy Ann Wrenn and Richard Aaron, Helen Grabber and Rick Miller, Donna Mueller with Bill Barksdale, Susan Graves and Dave Riddle, Scooter Martina and Andy Spengler, and Sharon Penny with David Ellis-Brown.
   On the 23rd, the Orlando Youth Center had their annual Christmas Dance. Seen dancing were Kevin McPherson, Ned Whitner and Janet Squillante, Roy David and Sharon Penny, Jay Stephenson and Lynn Morrow, Kay Persons and Ed Fishback, Rosemarie Vardell with Tommy Seals, Russ Buhl and Anne Laing, and of course, lots more.
   Winter Park graduate Bob Clarke was host at several small, informal get-togethers over the holiday season. Attention: Amy Yule! Seems as if Miss Yule, an ex-Winter Parker, who is now a college student in Boston, read ye old Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc, and is quite upset because her name never appears in print, so, Amy, old girl, read on . . . Amy Yule with Robustelli was seen at one of Kea's (excuse the spelling, Bob) blasts! Others being entertained were Sharon Spencer and Lee Maynard, "Tina", David Day, Terry Eagan, "Spider" and "Philia", Tommy Ross and Joyce Grimm, Sharon O'Neal and Chuck Washburn, and "Cricket". Several Bo Diddley albums and that old favorite, "Indian", provided the entertainment.
