The Winter Park Wildcat track team placed second in the county meet held at Boone. Boone placed first with 104-1/2 points followed by Winter Park with 63-1/2 points. Other teams on the totem pole were Colonial, Edgewater, Apopka, Evans and Ocoee.
   Greg Holland broke both the WPHS and country record in the 440 yard dash with a time of 52.4 seconds. Ray Myers, Jim Fleming, Pat Phillips and Larry Elam made up the sprint medley relay which won first place. (Thanks to that extra sprint put on by Larry when he dove cross it to win the event. Truly this was the finest example of athletic ingenuity.) Jim Fleming won first place in the shot put to give the team an extra five point boost.
   Bill Hoffman placed second in the mile run. Dunn jumped 5' 7" for a second in the high jump. Giannini heaved the discus for a second. Frank Ferguson places second in the shot put. Myers, Firchow, Elam and Holland made up the second place team in the mile relay.
   Up to the Orange Belt Conference, the "thinclads" have a grand total of 913 1/6 points to set a new school record in total team points. There are still three more meets to go till the regular season is over. So it is safe to say that the record set in '61 will not be broken for some time to come. There is a race developing between the boys for individual points. Top men are Fleming, Michaels, Ferguson, Myers and Holland.
   From the Green turf of golf land, we hear that our own Gary Schroeder is No. 10 man in the state. Congratulations Gary!! The only team activity up till this date has been with Leesburg and that was still another triumph for the Wildcat Athletic Department headed up by Coach Orr.

   Jean Bradford, one of our top students, has been named recipient of a National Merit Scholarship. This is a sequel honor, as she is the only person in this county to receive this award.
   Jean and 5 other WPHS students were among the 10,000 finalists in this country. This was narrowed down to the 750 who received scholarships.
   Only seventeen scholarships were awarded to students in Florida. Winter Park is proud of you, Jean!

   The coveted award this week goes to Paula Banzaf, who in an attempt to prove the old saying that haste makes waste is not true, disproved it completely. It seems that Paula, who was a little late getting out of chemistry, was running to Home Ed. (and running is exactly what she was doing). Unfortunately, she didn't quite make it -- she fell! There she was, wearing her chemistry apron, sitting in the hall, surrounded by books, pencils, and papers. Moral: Mind your clichés because they really mean what they say. Congrats, Paula.
