   There have been some drastic changes in report cards this year, so my advice to all W.P.H.S. students is to lock up your mailboxes and hide the key!
    No more is there the same "student take report cards to parents" routine. Now these necessary evils are mailed to the parents directly -- by-passing the students.
   When the card finally gets around to W.P.H.S. pupils, they will be amazed to find -- not that simple little card with merely their subjects and grade, but a simple little card for each subject! Along with the grade (which is bad enough), teachers will have a list of statements to check -- pertaining to the conduct of the individual. These include "student does not pay attention in class" and "student does not study effectively."

   Winter Park High School has generously consented to try out this newly devised system of grading. What the result will be, we can only guess, but all you guinea pigs remember -- tomorrow is the end of the six weeks, so BEWARE!!!
Band   Displays
New   Uniforms

By Bill McGinnis
   At the Bishop Moore game Friday night, you probably noticed something different about the appearance of our band. At first you may have wondered if it really was our band, but when it lined up in two rows, through which the Winter Park team ran onto the field, you knew it was our own band, definitely.
   New uniforms, the first in over thirteen years, are the reasons for the new look in the band this year. Each band member now proudly wears almost seventy dollar's worth of bright, unfrayed, untorn, burnt-orange-colored uniform, instead of a battered relic of yesterday.
   The twirlers also have new outfits, and Mrs. Williams has a new smile.
   (P.S. When Mrs. Williams smiles about the band, you can look forward to a great year.)
Key   Club's   Dance   Follows  
First   Game   Of   Season
   After the DeLand game Friday night, the Key Club held a dance in the Winter Park High School Cafeteria. The dance started at approximately 10:15 and lated until midnight. The Key Clubbers, working all Friday afternoon, decorated the cafeteria with orange and black crepe paper suspended from the ceiling in huge scallops. The Key Club banner was centered in a strategic spot above the juke box. The walls were adorned with colorful, artistic posters which had been used to publicize the dance. At one end of the toom "KICK OFF" was spelled in huge crepe paper letters on teh wall.
   The dance was a huge success because there was a large turnout of Winter Park students. The DeLand football players could be distinguished by their dark suits. Some of the couples dancing on the crowded floor were Ray Myers and Cheryl Pritchard, David Echardt and Nancy Temple, Andy Ramsdell and Helen Whittington, and Andy

   I have noticed many residents of the Winter Park section busily building arks in their back yards. It it rains much more, they just might have to use them. After all, they laughed at Noal too!!
   The combination of all this rain and our football field just doesn't jive too well. If the idea of underwater football catches on though, we'll have the most ideal etting in Central Florida!!
   The cancellationof all of W.P.H.S.'s home games has been seriously considered, for there seems to be no sign of the rain letting up long enough for Ward Memorial Field to dry. To make things worse, Homecoming is just a week off and not many people relish the thought of having Homecoming away from home. Everybody keep your fingers crossed and sing one round of "Rain, rain, go away" in the morning upon arising and just before going to bed. This may do the trick. (If you look up - through the clouds -- and see a bright ball in the sky, don't be alarmed. It is called a sun. For more information concerning it, look under "S" in the encyclopedia).

Football  By  Fall
by Craig Jacobson
   After a great deal of toil and sweat, a football stadium has risen from a swamp for the express purpose of having a first-rate place to hold athletic events. This feat was not accomplished by sweat alone. It has also taken a great deal of money, totaling $10,000. The city was good enough to donate $3,500 of this and the rest has come from many generous individuals who are interested in the Jr. highs and high schools of our city.
   The Junior Chamber of Commerce is working hard to get the stadium completed. But alas! Good things rarely happen overnight. It will take two or three years, lots of hard work and $15,000 before the stadium is finally completed. When finished, it will have an excellent football fiend and track. Glenridge Junior High and Winter Park High will play their home games there. The funds for the upkeep of the field will come from the city's budget and a small percentage of the money raised from the games.
   This year however, the Junior Chamber of Commerce is concerned with the purchase of bleachers. So far they have bought 1155 bleachers and in order to pay for them, the J.C.C., in cooperation with the various organizations of Glenridge and Winter Park High is selling seat reservations. These are good for twenty games; and cost $5.00 a piece (price does not include admission fee.)
   Let us remember that by buying these tickets, we will not only be helping ourselves, but our community as well.
