CLASSES BEGIN

It's
the beginning of a six weeks course in drivers education. This six
weeks will be devoted to classroom work. The course will be taught
in the classroom by Miss Parks, while Mr. Bill Yocum will teach actual
behind-the-wheel training.
Safe driving will be stressed and students will
learn such things as the obligations of drivers involved in an accident,
the causes of skids due to driver failure, the right-of-way rules,
and the basic speed rule.
The course will be repeated on April 24. Also all
who do not have the opportunity to take behind-the-wheel training
this year can do so this summer. |

Teacher
of the Week
|
Miss
Parks, WPHS's drivers' training teacher, was born in West Plains,
Missouri, but has lived here in Florida for 32 years! She has visited
most of the national parks in the West, Mexico and Canada.
Miss Parks' hobbies are driving and food. In her
spare time ... She like to read and dance ... and she loves music!
Miss Parks has two very embarrassing moments ...
once when a highway patrolman stopped her coming back from teaching
her first drivers' education class at McCoy Air Force Base. Her other
embarrassing moment was when she locked her car keys in her car. Did
you use a car-opener, Miss Parks?
The Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc salutes you, Miss Parks, as our
Teacher of the Week!! |

Hoche
Leads
In Math Contest
The
second annual Math contest was held here Monday, March 13, 1961.
This year's winner was junior, John Hoche. Larry Elam, and Jean
Bradford, both Seniors, were runners-up. George Williams, a junior,
will be an alternate. All four will represent W.P.H.S. at the County
Math Contest on March 23, 1961 at O.J.C.
The purpose of this Math contest is to find those
students in Orange County Senior high schools who have a special
interest and ability in Math.
This contest is open to all students of Math in
the public and private Senior high schools of Orange County who
have had a minimum of one and one-half years of algebra and one
year of plane geometry.
The three schools with the highest score will
be awarded plaques suitable for display in their high schools. The
three students ranking highest among the contest participants will
be presented first, second, and third place pins by the college
and will receive other awards. The top-ranking student in each school
will also be presented with a pin.
Last year W.P.H.S. placed second in this contest
with Jim Harmeling.
Good luck to the participants this year!

Winter
Park attended its first swim meet at Leesburg last Tuesday. Although
the Winter Park boys were ahead until the last, Leesburg took the
meet 47 points to 45.
Senior Gary Gardner won the 400 yard free style,
Dave Herold came in 3rd in the 200 yard free style, and Fred Robinson
placed second in the 100 and 200 yard free style. In the 50 yard free
style, Bob Finfrock and David Ellis-Brown took 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Bob also won the 100 yard backstroke.
In the diving competition, Winter Park's own John
Miller took first place (mainly because Leesburg had no diving entries).
Junior Jim Stokes won the 100 yard butterfly and individual medley.
Tony Donnaud tore away with 3rd place in the individual medley, even
under the handicap of swimming in the wrong lane. Also Chuck Libby
won the 100 yard breast stroke.
It looks like we all are in for a round of entertainment.
"Oklahoma" is being presented at good old WPHS and MGM's
GORGO has been unleashed for a current Central Florida Premiere. If
these two aren't your cup of expresso there's always the talented
Don Hoffman Show. Speaking of talent, ex-Parker Helen Grabber has
captured the lead roll in "Pride and Prejudice," the school
play at North High in Hagerston, MD. Good luck, Doll! (Galaxy International
Pictures discovered her first.) |

LIBRARY
NOTES
Many
books have been published on the subject of selecting a college.
The library has various copies. But here is a new book with a different
slant and broader coverage titled - How To Get Into College And
Stay There. Come in and look the advice over. Evaluate yourself.
Learn which of your characteristics and habits will be an asset
to you and which a liability. Most important, learn what can be
done about the situation.

COMING
EVENTS

Marquette University.
Scholarships to Marquette are available to high
school seniors who rank in the upper twenty percent of their graduating
class. These students must possess excellent character, qualities
of leadership and also have need for financial assistance.
The scholarships awards available range in value
-- partial to full tuition.
If the Scholarship Committee, which is responsible
for the policies and distribution of these funds, judges there is
no financial need, the applicant ordinarily will not be awarded a
money scholarship, no matter how strong his record or quality. |

Dear
Aunt Abyss
By Dodi Simmerson
|
Dear
Aunt Abyss,
What
am I going to do? My steady girlfriend is constantly singing into
my ear while we're dancing. This is very embarking, especially when
she gets carried away! T.C.
Dear T.C.,
Fall in love and forget it (or use ear plugs).
Dear Aunt Abyss,
I eat constantly! I am 15 years old and weigh 156
pounds. I have tried pills, shots, strict diets, and even going for
two days without a bite to eat. This problem is getting worse everyday.
Can you help me? Tubs
Dear Tubs,
Let's streamline the diet to fresh vegetables and
fruits instead of banana splits and potato chips. And try exercising
the muscles of the body instead of the mouth!!! |
