Now that the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc is being put to bed after a long and tiring nine months of public service, HERE and THERE is gazing into the crystal ball and trying to foresee next year. Looking Ahead we see:
     There will be a new Student Council Constitution next year which Mike Kelly will enforce as president.
     Speaking of Mikes, Mike Hickey is the new "TOWAYAM" editor for next year. Miss Julie Siebert will continue as the annual staff sponsor.
     The "W-Club" points will probably be changed and there is a great possibility of a new ranking system for Seniors.
     Bill Collier and George Bridges have received the honor of being next year's football captains. Best of luck, lads. Practice makes perfect.
     The WI-Pa-Hi-SC will come out once a week in the "SUN HERALD" and the price will be the same according to Pamme Anderson and Donna Mueller, newly appointed coeditors and yours truly, associate editor.
     Miss Charlotte Hall, typing teacher, will be married June 25, in Chatham, Virginia, to Mr. A. J. Padera. Upon returning to Winter Park after their honeymoon, the newlyweds will reside in Kenilworth Shores. Miss Hall will continue to teach at W.P.H.S.
     ATTENTION CHESS CLUB MEMBERS: According to Coach Groene there will be no further meetings until next year. A word of advice, "Be on your toes" and "keep in shape."
     May 19, was a real great day for the W.P.H.S. Band as they gave one of the best assembly programs of the year. Congrats to all the members not only for the splendid job at the State Festival but also for the very humorous assembly.
     On May 18, workers began clearing the site for the Winter Park Youth Center which is expected to be completed by the end of August or the early part of September.

     Who is the culprit in Driver's Training who ran into a parking stanchion pole used for parallel parking last week.
     Have you heard the news yet? "The old man" is retiring after this year. Col. Donald B. Herron, algebra I and plane geometry teacher, has decided to relax and retire from the teaching profession.
     The Wi-Pi-Hi-Sc's own Dodie Simmerson, sponsored by Castro Convertibles, won the Watermelon Queen of 1961 last week at Leesburg.
     The WI-Pa-Hi-SC wishes to extend a "get well soon" to Col. Walter Dillon, senior science and physics teacher, who is in the Orlando Air Force Base Hospital.
     This year's graduating class holds the record for number of graduating Seniors with a total of about 303.
     We, of the WI-Pa-Hi-SC staff, have received recognition. Seventeen magazine wrote inquiring about Mrs. Ramsdell's "Univac," for publication in 'Seventeen.'
     HORIZONS, W.P.H.S. literary magazine, and the SENIOR SALUTES will be hot off the press this week. Don't forget to buy yours while they last.
     Wee Willie Schwartz does it again. This time his move is "THE LAST DAY OF ATLANTIS," done in the usual Schwartz fashion -- enough said. This proves to be a great movie. Watch for the name of Bill Schwartz in the motion picture business in the future.
     Who scored Rowdy Rosses "wheels" and Round Boy Muller's washing machine? It's a good thing Chan lives on a lake. Let's all wave to him as we go by.
     Well that does it for this issue and this year. Hope to see all of you next year, but remember I'll always be HERE and THERE, so be careful. Have a real cool summer. 'NUFF SAID.

     Scholarship offers for Senior, 1961, have reached a new high and they are still coming in. Winter Park High School senior class of 1961 may well be proud of this national record, but even more important will be the record each of these scholarship students establish in the colleges they attend. These students will set standards for all the classes to come.
      Among the awards made to W.P.H.S. students is the National Merit Scholarship, awarded to Jean Bradford, the only National Merit awarded in Orange County, and one of 17 awarded in the state, also the Martin Company award granted to Greg Holland over Central Florida contestants. How has this been accomplished? First and primarily, much of the credit goes to Mrs. Mattlyn Ramsdell, Guidance Counselor. This year, Mrs. Ramsdell has been free to devote all her time to counseling and scholarships. The above record of achievement speaks for itself. It must be remembered that these scholarships are not correlated with need. Scholastic achievement, talent, worth are all paramount.
     Mr. Wilson, principal of Winter Park High School since 1949, is the man who has built the staff and set the policies that result in such a record. He embraces the philosophy of giving the youngsters as much and as broad an education as they can and will assimilate; as much of the breadth and depth that they can take. He has maintained the best of the traditional in education along with the best of the new.

     Mrs. Mildred Andrews received a grant for the Mathematics Institute at the University of Florida. Mrs. Andrews, who received her B.S. degree from the University of Florida, has also received a Master's degree from Florida State University.  

 
    WPHS is proud to announce that three of its faculty members have been awarded grants from the National Science Foundation.
     This summer Dr. Herald E. Bender will attend Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, the headquarters of the Chemical Bond Approach Project. Dr. Bender was active on the science staff at Scarsdale High School, Scarsdale, New York from 1939 to 1945.
