Science Program

     The University of Florida would like to know if there is a potential Jonas Salk, Linus Pauling, or Albert Einstein in chemistry or physics classes. In the event that there is, the University is offering a special summer science program which gives twenty-five high school juniors an opportunity to explore the multitude laboratory projects that are under way at the University. These projects include cancer research, radio astronomy, electronics and animal research in many areas.
   Students who are interested must be recommended by both principal and their science teacher in order to be eligible.
   The Summer Science Program is scheduled from June 19, to August 11. The fortunate students who are selected will live in dormatories on the campus. The total expense is estimated at $272.00 for the full session. A large portion of this expense will be taken from funds donated by the National Science Foundation, however, it is hoped that the county will share the rest of the expenses.
   Information and applications may be obtained from the principal's office, the science department or by writing directly to Dr. Luther A. Arnold, Director, SNF Summer Science Program, 143 Norman Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville. Applications must be in no later than April 1, 1961.

MOURNER'S
BENCH

By Jay Stephenson

     Well back again to the ole hole in the wall. This is your ole Deputy Dawg bringing you some very interesting "brick-braque and bouquets" but don't forget that the opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily mine. This is your column, if you have a gripe or want to express your thanks just drop your letter in the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc Box in the cafeteria and who knows, maybe your comments will be published. Well here goes:

   Does a certain algebra I and II teacher realize he has a certain "Spanish Foreign Exchange" student, Jose' doesn't seem to be doing well!
   Why do the majority of teachers persist in giving tests on the same day?
   Why are some girls at W.P.H.S. so afraid to be "natural?" It seems to me that many new and exciting personalities would be discovered if these girls would be "themselves."

Off Beat

   I have a brain wracker for those of you who are still not sick of those multiple choice questions. This test is designed to MAKE you get sick of them.
Question: What Would You Do If You Fell For A Penguin?

1.
Join the Polar Bear Club?
2.
Buy yourself a new dress?
3.
Pick yourself up?
4.
Look at yourself again in the mirror?

   I let my imagination run wild again the other day -- it's generally the only imagination in captivity. I came up with some startling conclusions ... What If...
Bill Barksdale were Bill Woofsdale?
John Cash were John Credit?
Bob Dallas were Bob Texas?
David Doolittle were David Donothing?
David Farr were David Nearr?
Ed Fishback were Ed Turtlefront?
Gene Mooney were Gene Sunny?
James Tweedy were James Wooly?
Bonnie Boone were Bonnie Edgewater?
Maurine Doggett were Maurine Catit?
Linda Merhill were Linda Mervalley?
   At this point, I was fortunate enough to capture my imagination, so that's all I was able to get this week!

(continued)   Why don't we have a larger selection of languages here. Why not French III and IV, Russian I and even Chinese.
   Is National Honor Society living up to its true concept for membership qualifications? Good grades (not top) should make students eligible if said students display the other three qualities: Leadership, Character an Service?
   Why doesn't WPHS have a girl's track team? This would help to keep the gals in shape too.
   Before people vote for various honors or officers why don't they thank about whom they are voting for instead of voting for just a name that is well-known around the school?
   Well, that's all for now folks. Like be warm be cool and if it turns around don't look.
Personality
   We hear that Mike Kelley, the Junior class President has been in the hospital with Mononucleosis. We had hoped it was the mumps but ... From his bed side he still seems to be carrying on "business quite as usual." He is working on Prom plans, keeping up with studies, receiving visitors, and, above all, getting the prescribed rest.

Fads & Fashions

   Since spring has sprung, more people are headed for the beach and that fabulous sun at Daytona. Evidently 2-piece bathing suits are in Vogue, and they are built for comfort as well as beauty this year. We spotted Carole Cubbedge wearing a very becoming blue and white striped job, Sue Sturges in a black 2-piece which was very smart, as was Donna Frome in a bow trimmed swim suit. Light yellow, blue, purple and orange are among the pastel colors that make suits outstanding this year.
   Since it's getting near Easter time, all the girls are out looking for their Easter outfits. Thought I'd drop a few hints. Navy is still the favorite for the occasion. A smart navy silk suit, dressed up with pearls is always chic. Many fashion-conscious people still stay close to tailored clothes at Easter. The tiny box hat is still "tops". The Easter bonnet, bedecked with flowers is still the traditional choice for the Easter Parade.

Sophomore Side
By Annette Moore
   My, how time flies -- cheerleading tryout time has come and gone. Sophomore JV cheerleaders who jumped and cheered their way to varsity status last week are Peggy Frome, Mary Cash, and Bobbie Sias. Congratulations to these gals.
   Having your sixteenth birthday in March seems to be a fad among the sophomores. Besides those "Sweet 16ers" mentioned last week, Tom Prince and Gil Smith also celebrated their sixteenth birthdays last wekend. Many Happy Returns!!!
   10-E is at it again -- this time in basketball. In reply to a challenge from Miss Barfield's room, 10E solidly trounced them in basketball. Mr. Johnson's and Miss Barfield's girls will clash in a basketballchallenge later in the week.
