   Kim Hadley and Gretchen Schram, our CAT council representatives, tell us that the CAT council is having a kick-off dance. This dance is to be held Friday night, November 25, in the WPHS gym from 8-12 p.m. Recently, signing parties have been held by gals from all the classes to enlist help for the council. Even if you haven't been "signed", come to the dance and support your CAT council!!!
   Borrowed from Expose': Sophomore Bill Connors and a certain senior were caught napping before lunch in World History class by an alert Mr. Johnson. ALSO The news is out!! According to remarks over heard in homeroom, Ricky Andrews is a champion hockey player -- electric hockey, that is!!
 
Fads & Fashions

By Robin McKenzie

   It seems as though the Short Skirt fashion has taken W.P.H.S. by storm. Last week Pat Clarke went a little overboard and wore a kilt about "10" inches above the knees. Sharon Horner looks real cute in her purple short skirt and sweater dyed-to-match. Also seen sporting the "skort" are Linda Tindall, Ellen Igou, Mary Van Nymegen, Sigrid Berstrom, Diane Flowers, Suzie Miller, Carolyn Rayburn, Jackie Cottrell, and many, many more.
   A few days ago a couple of SAINTED SENIORS got together and decided to wear sweat shirts, knee sox, and short skirts to school. It went over in a real big way. Those seen in this unusual get-up were Brenda Osteen, Suzie Miller, Jackie Cook, Mary Ann Brown, Suzie Cushing, Dottie Bell, and a few others. As usual, when the Seniors do something it always goes over in a big way. The juniors must have been impressed because they wore them the next day. Hey you juniors, why don't you get original????
   Someone once told me "If you don't like the weather in Florida wait a few minutes and it will change." That saying has readily held true in these last few weeks. One day you will see someone in a summer sun dress; the next day that someone is wearing a wool skirt and crew neck sweater. Oh well, "variety is the spice of life!" However, I know we all want ole' Jack Frost to come around so that we can all get out our new winter clothes. After all, I must have something to write about next week.
Sophomore Side (Cont.)
   Don't forget the start of the basketball season for the GAA girls. It starts next Tuesday and continues every Tuesday and Thursday until Christmas vacation. Come on, sophomores, let's really participate!!!
   One of the biggest things this weekend is sophomore Dorinda Duncan's "by invitation only" dance at OAFB. For more details, see Sue Sturges' column next week. Remember, guys and gals, invitations must be presented at the gate so don't forget yours!!
   Speaking of dances, don't forget the dance tonight after the Apopka game in the gym. Let's all go to the game and dance. Remember it's our last home game of the season. Beat Apopka!!!

   There have been so many parties lately that I don't know where to begin this column, so think that I'll start with Susan Carter's "Fall Festival". Lynn Ricks, JoAnn Ross, and Nancy Temple, three talented SENIOR gals provided the guests with lots of entertainment. Among those joining in the singing and dancing were: Fran Ussery, Carl Dunn, Linda Schmidt, Dewey Ramsby, Mike Mercer, Carole Cubbedge, George Mayo, Bill Schwartz, "Rose", Bob Ross, Sharon Horner, Chan, of course, "Bo" and Carole Tenneson, Kay Persons, Jackie Cottrell, Jacque Cook in the cutest culotte outfit, Ronnie Peacock, Allen Burris, Bill McGinnis, Chuck Libby, Jeff Arnold, Jay Gustafason, "Lynn and Gary", Kathy Browne with John Bordley, and stacks more!
   Claire Harold has been the lucky honoree at not one, but two parties recently. Happy Birthday, Claire!
   Joyce Jones and Judy Hopkins gave a "Wild" beatnik party a couple of weekends ago! I hear that the guests enjoyed dancing, singing, Right John? A few of the many who attended were: Janet Squillanti and Ned Whitner, Tom Prince, Mary McJunkins, Marcia McCord, Bobby Sias, Mary Cash with Bill Collier, John Ridenour (Mr. Prince Charming, himself!), and quite a few more.
   Ann Jenkins, a darlin' junior miss, was honored by her parents with a lovely luncheon at Morrison's Imperial House. Ann is now "Sweet Sixteen".
   Well, Dewey, Carl, and Frank, did ya'll have fun at Gainesville's Homecoming? You certainly were in gay spirits when you returned to Winter Park! Susan Chace is another local girl who made it up to the University for their Homecoming festivities. Seems as if Carolyn Rayburn met Gov. Collins while she was at the barbecue preceding the game. Must be nice to mingle with celebrities Miss Rayburn, what's your secret?
   Ya'll take it easy over the Thanksgiving holidays. We want to see your smiling faces back at school come Monday! Stay Happy!
