Alumni News

   The holidays are over and the alumni certainly have left their impressions. They made an impressive showing at the Christmas formal. Jeannie Jones and Tom Righetti, Charlene Peters and Ronnie Caloss, Judy Crawford and Ronnie Cayll, Susie Gray and Tommy Gibbs, Sharon White and Tommy Woodruff, and Danny Wiser with Judy Reding were among the merry-makers.
   Of course everyone came out on New Year's Eve. Bill Winderweedle had a fabulous party which almost all of the '59 graduates and their dates attended.
   Tommy Woodruff and Bob Clerk also entertained. Taking in many of the parties were Carol Cubbedge and George Sprinkle, Chuck Washburn and Sharon O'Neal, Sue Sturges with David Day, Bill Joy and Barbara Keller, Jean Welch and John Jane and Pat Clarke.
   Congratulations go out to Carrington Sharp who was married to Bill Sheets last Friday in the Episcopal Church.

Fads & Fashions
By Molly Miltonberle

   The holiday season always brings with it a flood of new fashions. The girls welcome any occasion to dress up, and this year the boys were right along with them in the "dress up" department.
   Keith Caldwell sure looked sharp in his black and white plaid sports coat and black slacks, while Woody Leonard sported a "Perry Como" sweater with charcoal gray and red stripes.
   David Ellis-Brown certainly was debonair in his orion vest with the red and black border trim. A little dressier was good-looking Greg Holland in a white dress shirt with an Ivy League diagonal stripped tie and black slacks. Mike Dean really looked good in a striking pastel plaid sports jacket and charcoal gray slacks.
   Back to "women's wear"! Helen Whittington at the Christmas formal was so very chic in her long formal sheath of a heavy brocade. This stunning gown had an Oriental look which was most becoming to tall, attractive Miss Whittington.

   Donna Mueller was a hit over the holidays in her emerald green sheath with very puffed sleeves. Heels dyed to match made this a beautiful outfit.
   Sue Sturges turned up at Donna and Helen's party in a black velveteen dress with a scooped neck and embroidered trip on the full skirt. Pearl teardrop earrings and black suede heels completed her ensemble.
   Mary Cash and Linda Schmidt are now sporting almost identical pale green leather jackets, while Jean Welch is the owner of a three-quarter length cream colored corduroy sports coat.
   As far as fashions and fads go up North, the gals are wearing Kilties, known as knee-ticklers down here, which in reality are "thigh ticklers" and very large sized boys bulky knit sweaters, usually in size 42, no mater how tiny the girl is. These warmish outfits are accompanied by leotards in all colors.
   In Virginia, Capezios are out, saddle shoes are in and as skorts and other short skirts.
   That's it for now, keep up the good looks!


New Year's Eve Ball Swings
   The Orlando Youth Center was the scene for a gala New Year's Eve Ball which many of the Cats attended to represent their Alma Mater. The Impalas entertained for the kids from 9 til 1. Decorations, extravagance and beautiful, included a rocket suspended in the air which advanced toward the middle of the floor as the evening progressed. At midnight, the "baby new year" appeared. And then there was NOISE! Armed with horns, noisemakers, hats, balloons, confetti and just plain hot air, the happy teens tore the roof off the O.Y.C.! With cries of "Happy New Year!" and a kiss for every member of the opposite sex, the new year was ushered in
   The gang from W.P.H.S. included Ann Spaulding and Allen Burris, Mike Mosher and JoAnn Horvath, Mary Cash and Bill Collier, Donna Mueller and Mike Dean, Keith Caldwell and Carole Lober, Sharon May and Sam Harris, Prudy Huber and Jim McCord, Bill Phillips and Bee Webber, Bill Ronay and Arlyn Menk.
    Frank Ferguson and Donna Franklin, Jim Ferguson and Sheila Cummings, Jay Stephenson and Lynn Morrow, Chip Schram and Linda Lyon, Art Miller and Betty Jane Gable, Dave Smith and Gail Cannon, Jeannie Britt and Jim Stokes, Bill Schwartz and Helen Grabber, Fred Grinnell and Ann Jenkins and many, many more!
    "Stag Cats" taking advantage of the New Year kisses were Jim Caccavo, Gary Houmes, Mike Mercer, Hank Marks, Rich Winslow, Chuck Libby, Jay Gustafson and Bob Miksell.
   Four schools participated in the talent show which was won by a "hula hula" girl from Colonial, Winter Park was hilariously represented by Jim (Jose) Caccavo and Jay Stephenson. Congratulations on a great job, fellas!
   The big night comes but once a year, and the dimly lit Youth Center was a perfect place to celebrate. Wheeee!!!! What a night!!!!!
