SOPHOMORE
SIDE
By Annette Moore

   Now that the magic Prom night is just a memory, the sophomores are looking forward to the time when we become juniors -- only 22 days away.
    Since summer temperatures are here to stay, a swim party is the proper way to celebrate a birthday. In addition to the birthday mentioned last week, those who celebrate each year around this time include Candy Chartraw, who celebrated her 16th on April 23; Kim Hadley, May 5 marks her 16th birthday--and yours truly whose birthday follows two days later.
   The Home Ec. I girls are in a tizzy; their fashion assembly is now only one week away. No more secrets about outfits will be divulged. That way there will be plenty of surprises during the two early morning assemblies on May 11.
   Congrats to the W.C.W. Tri-Hi-Y gals who collected all that money for the Multiple Sclerosis Drive. Good work for a worthy cause!
   Look for the names of the new Tri-Hi-Y officers in this corner next week.
WPHS Honored
In Chemistry
   Students at Winter Park High School studying chemistry will participate next week in a nationwide try-out of new science tests which reflect the widespread changes that have occurred in recent years in the teaching and content of high school science courses.
   Approximately 270 students who are studying chemistry will be among 15,000 high school science students who will take the preliminary versions of the achievement tests, which were written by committees of prominent teachers in biology, chemistry, and physics.
   "This tryout program is to test the test, not the students," explained Dr. Harold B. Bender. "Preparing good standardized tests requires many steps. These try-outs are to find out if the questions are clear and whether they are too difficult or too easy for students."
   On the basis of tryout results, the tests will be revised. The tests will then be given to students in other schools to provide information on typical performance of science students throughout the country.
   The end-of-course tests sample student achievement in a particular subject, with questions and problems which stress how to use the facts and skills that have been learned rather than just knowing the facts.
   Mr. Osborn C. Wilson, principal, is in charge of the tryout program at Winter Park High School.
   Final forms of the tests, which are for use by schools in evaluating their students and curriculum will be published in about two years by the Cooperative Test Division of Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J.
UNIVAC
AT WORK
   UNIVAC! UNIVAC! If boys don't ask girls out, UNIVAC will! Of course, there are several social obstacles to overcome first-- such as, what girl wants to dance with a machine? Admittedly, there are some boys who dance as poorly as a UNIVAC, but for company's sake, no machine can top a boy from a girl's point of view.
   It was interesting to note that Mrs. Ramsdell received many calls from mothers asking her to talk to their indifferent sons. UNIVAC was a success!
   NOW, BOYS! Girls aren't really so expensive and extravagant! Most girls would rather enjoy your company than go to an expensive restaurant or stay home alone. Girls like to be with boys and vice-versa! It's a fundamental concept of nature!
   In closing, there are many girls sitting home this very weekend who would love to be asked out to a dance or movie by YOU. WHY NOT? 
NEXT  YEAR?
   This week the students who will have jobs "next year" are being featured.
   A number of girls are planning to go into secretarial work and some already have their jobs picked out for next year. Judy Law already works for General Guaranty Insurance Company, Sharon Duryee, Ethel Aydelotte, Barbara Rice, Gloria Wagner and Betty Jane Chambers also plan to become secretaries but aren't sure where yet.
   Many boys have chosen the Service for their career. John Slegel chose the Navy and wants to become a draftsman. Terry Williams, Bret LeRoux and Carl Dunn also chose the Navy. Joining the Air Force are James Benton, Robert Kirschner and Fred Marshall. Gary Gardner plans to join the Coast Guard.
   Sandy Nelson, Carole Winterbottom, Bonnie Pechin and Jean Beecher hope to become airline hostesses.
