NOVEMBER 17 , 1960

   We'd better hurry up and win a game, cause I'm runnin' out of things to talk about. If I can't say something nice about the team I won't say anything. Oh well, pretty soon it'll be basketball season and I'll have all the victories I need to talk about. That is, if some wise guy over at Seabreeze doesn't bust Dewey or Jack in half. By the way Dew, how's everything up at U. of F.? I'm sure the tour of the campus was a very sobering experience for you.
   Touring the campus beings to mind a problem we have right here at our Alma Mater. That is, the parking problem in the bask of the school. Unless the late arrivals don't use a little more discretion in where they leave their bombs, we're all going to lose the privilege of parking on that field. When parking out back try to remember these rules. Utilize as little space as possible. Don't block anyone's entrance or exit. Do not park in anyone's driveway, Do not form a second line in the field. Park only in the designated areas. Do not park on the front lawn unless your car is orange and black. Do not park in the main hall or in front of the fire hydrant. Rest rooms are designated as compact car parking areas only. Do not get caught parking on campus after dark with a date. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, and go directly to jail. Oops wrong game.
   I guess you all heard about the new Youth Center to be built near Ward Park. The land it is to be built on has been declared above the high water mark but just to be safe the architects included a boat launch and a wharf in the plans for the parking lot. I'm sure it'll come in handy during the rainy season. Since the last rainy season, the water level in Ward Park has subsided considerably. The top three rows of the stands can now easily be seen from the road.
Fads & Fashions

   Hey Cats! There have been quite a few afternoon "get-togethers" the past two months. The girls all show up in the most adorable matching outfits. For instance, seen at one affair was Connie Shoup in a lavender and white jersey slack-set and lavender shoes to match. At this same "hen party" Lynn Ricks wore red and white print slacks with a sailor type blouse to match and red flats. By the way, Lynn made it herself. What else are you sewing for the "man in your life?"
   As the weather got colder Sue Sturges sported a coral shaggy sweater and wool slacks to match. She looked cute as could be. How many pounds, Sue?
   The cleverest idea I've seen lately, though, was that of Suzanne MacMillan. When asked when she got her blue bermuda and blouse combination, she gave a great big grin and "confessed" she remade one of her mom's dresses!

Wheels Hold Wash
   Car washes certainly are popular these days as moneymakers! The Wheel Club gave theirs on Saturday, Nov. 5, and literally turned Huntington Ave. into a sea of soap. The members worked in shifts, morning and afternoon, and washed until their hands were stubs. Seen sporting the latest in torn bermudas, old sweat shirts, and bare feet were Jim Crawford, John Rutland, Jess Leish, John Prevatt, David Pughe, Chris Bauer, Steve Stevenson, Jim Appleman, Bob Finfrock, Tim Hartung, Gary Dokter, Clark Lambert, Dick Schroeder, Buster Judy, Greg Holland, Ray Myers and Eric Firchow.
   Oddly enough, the girls watching almost outnumbered the workers! At least they came in style. Piled in various makes of racy convertibles were Judy Wingate, Julie Haynie, Carol Tennesson, Fran Ussery, Jacque Cook, Sharon White, Jane Mitchell, Judy Kirkpatrick (possibly because TIM was there?), Susie Miller, Marny van Nymmegan, Sherry Vines, Donna Mueller, Helen Grabber, Susie Gray, and Jeannie Jones. Do much washing, girls?
   Watch for the next wash ... they're a great way to keep the 'ole buggy' clean, and support our clubs too!

   Here's hoping everyone's recovered from the election; especially Donna Newberry and Sue Tinklepaugh, two die-hard Republicans!
   Jackie Billingham was certainly Mr. Popularity several Sundays ago. Seems as if a few SENIOR gals and even a couple of juniors heard that Jack was painting his house and needed a little help so ... between 2:30 and 5:30 cars arrived, full of girls. Miss Cook loaded up her little Volkswagen and over she came; a certain Nash Metropolitan carrying Suzie and Carole made the scene, as did Judy's convertible, and a dirty Ford. There were even some boys, but with all of this help, dear Jack still didn't get much of his house painted! His excuse: He only had ONE paintbrush!
   Kay Persons hosted at one of the loveliest luncheons of the social season. The highlight of the afternoon was the delicious dessert. Mrs. Persons, Kay's mother, served the girl's vanilla ice cream, then brought out a tray with various ice cream toppings including nuts, strawberries, fudge sauce, whip cream, and caramel. The guests had a hey-day making fabulous sundaes and everyone agreed: "I'll start my diet tomorrow!"
   Those lucky girls attending were "Ace" Spaulding, Linda Schmidt, Nancy Wrenn, Fran Ussery (The Birthday Girl!), Suzie Miller, Becky Thornton, cute Marilyn Murphy, Perky McKim (minus baton!), Suzanne MacMillan, Marthabelle Husmann who wore culottes, Lynn Furr, darling in her matching purple outfit, Mary Carter, Sharon Hayes, Maurine Doggett, Bonnie Boone, Kathy Brown, Nancy Temple with her "true pitch"; and red head, Carole Hoelle.
   Pat Clarke caused a sensation when she appeared in our hallowed halls wearing a shorter than short skirt and black tights. In this cute and crazy get-up Miss Pat somewhat resembled Robin Hood without his bow and arrow! Twang!
   New couple around school: Pretty Dodi Simmerson and Greg Holland.
