EXPOSE

   Halloween '60 proved to be a big ball for both faculty and students at W.P.H.S. Mr. Gordon and his wife walked off with first prize at the Senior Cotillion Saturday night. All decked out in his pirate costume Mr. Gordon won the praise of the judges both by his hairless head and his hairy chest. The long dangling earring also added to his costume.
   The Junior girls also had a Halloween never to be forgotten, along with the Rollins X-Club. It's not too often a fraternity house gets bomb barded with eggs, and, when they do they're not going to let the invaders get away with it. This was certainly the case when the girls were dragged into the showers at the dorm and drenched completely. The surprise of these girls can well be imagined. Gosh! How could they explain a thing like that to their parents?
   A few weeks back it was mentioned that Tiger and Beauregarde were requested to see love counselor Orr. It may now be happily reported that Tiger and Beauregarde are getting along fine. All their problems have been ironed out and things are running smoothly. At least they were up to the present time.
   For you boys who are having trouble remembering girls' names what ever you do don't go to Buster Judy for any help. Poor Buster has dated so many different girls that he even calls them the wrong names to their faces! Girls, you're just going to have to grin and bear it.
   I'd be willing to bet that Tony Donnaud is the only boy in W.P.H.S. who has trained his car headlights to wink. Boy! Shat a shock it must be for a girl to be walking down the street and have some car's headlight start winking at you. Its been said that Volkswagens have personality, but this is the most unusual trait I've ever seen.
   By the way, Marcia and David, your picture is still in the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc room. Are you going to come by for it?
   Dewey Ramsby is the newly elected sweetheart of the Treasure Hunting club. The club, organized by the SENIOR girls took their beloved sweetheart out to dinner last week to celebrate.
   Football boys are reminded that smoking is strictly against training rules. Don't forget... Now!
Basketball
Continues
   Basketball got its start back in 1891, sixty -nine years ago, and it's still bouncing along; However it's a much faster pace today than it was long ago, when, instead of using nets for baskets, it was customary to use peach baskets.
   As for today's Winter Park High School "Championship Team" it really looks good. If you should see Coach MacHardy sitting in a corner all by himself meditating quietly, don't become alarmed. The big boy is doing it for the sake of the basketball players that play football also. When asked to comment Coach MacHardy said "I hope they all stay healthy and uninjured." About fifty-two boys showed up for the tryouts a week ago last Monday. The boys were of all shapes and sizes; fat, skinny, tall and very short, 4'10" to be exact.
   Soon all the hard practices will pay off as the Wildcats seek out their first victory. So far, the only one officially on the team is Ricky Pfeiffer. (Rick is the manager this year.) All other candidates must continue with the baseball pass, the overhead pass, weave drills and all the other ball handling drills until the crucial decision is made concerning who made the team and who didn't make it. There are lots of new faces this year, but some should have started earlier in their school career to gain experience. Nevertheless; all candidates will receive a fair trail to show what they can do on the court. Good Luck Fellas!!
"Best Foot Forward" Presented
   Tonight the Junior Class of Winter Park High School will present for the second time their Class play in the high school auditorium. The first performance for the student body will be held this afternoon.
   A room in the boy's dormitory at Winsocki Prep School is the scene for the entire action of the play. The play revolves around the entangling incidents of Bud Hopper and his love life.
   Bud, it seems, sent a Prom invitation to a glamorous movie star, little dreaming that she would accept. She accepts all right, due to the desperate need for a good publicity break, and when she arrives the fun and trouble begins.
   The stage manager for the play is Cynthia Deiter and the lighting will be handled by Doug Dillon. In charge of sound is Joyce Rood, while Lynn Morrow, Jill Warren, Cheryl Pritchard and Ginny Rorby will be taking care of the properties.
   Applying make-up to the young actors and actresses will be Richard Wood, Pamme Anderson, Sigrid Bergstrom, Julie Mayer, Jane Mitchell, and Connie McDowell. Martha Baker is prompting.
   Girls serving as usherettes at both performances are Sandy Bowman, Cathy Buchanan, Lynn Bissland, Aley Bower, Corrine Krom, Sandi Willard, Helen Grabber, Sally Ross and Ginny Ussery.
W.P.Y.C.
Ball Rolling
by Stu Smith
   The Cat Council has announced the proposition of a new Winter Park Youth Center to be built on donated land adjoining Ward Park. Many businesses and civic organizations have also donated and pledged their services. The additional funds needed to supplement the donations to build the new building will be raised by the "Winter Park Youth Center Fund Drive." The kickoff for the fund drive will be on the 25th of November, when the Cat Council will have their "Kick Off" dance from 8:00 to 12:00 p.m. in the gym. Admission to the semi-formal affair will be $1.00 stag or drag. The "Playboys" and the "Roadrunners" will be the featured bands.
   The newly elected Cat Council officers are Mary Carter, President; David Harold, Vice President; Kay Persons, Secretary; Marcia Fosgate, Treasurer. Anyone interested in helping the "Winter Park Youth Center Fund Drive" is urged to contact Mary Carter or one of the Cat Council members.
Teacher of Week

   Mrs. Charlotte Eloquin, one of the plane geometry teachers on the WPHS faculty, is from Orange, N.J. Does this explain why her favorite color is orange?
   Although she doesn't care for the movies that have been coming out lately, she does like artichokes and steamed clams!
   Mrs. Eloquin has taught math at WPHS for the past three years and "loves" it. She enjoys teaching and is very happy that she chose it for her vocation while attending Barnard College of Columbia University.
Mrs. Eloquin says that she has had many "most exciting" days in her life but will only tell us of the time when she slipped past some guards (who were watching for such trespassers), and took some pictures of the Missouri River.
   Wouldn't it be a wonderful experience if we students could slip past some of Mrs. Eloquin's tests as slyly as she slipped past the guards.

QUESTIONNAIRE
   "What do you think about girl bid dances? Do you mind being asked to one by a girl?"
   CHIP SCHRAM - I like things like the "Twirp Twirl" that was held two years ago. The girls pay for the works like food, etc., and also she drives the boy in her car. If we have one, why not have the girls go to all the trouble a boy does when on dates.
   CHARLES CAYLL - I like this type of thing. It shows the girl what the boys have to go through and the money we have to spend. I think it should happen more often. No, I don't mind being asked by a girl even though it does seem sort of funny.
   CHAN MULLER - I like them because it means a free date for me! I don't mind being asked.
   WOODY LEONARD - I agree with Chan wholeheartedly. I think that they should be held more often. That is, if the girl provides transportation, etc., as well as ample entertainment.
