OCTOBER 13, 1960

   I know you sports fans get tired of this column being dedicated to editorials, but somebody has to write 'em and it might as well be me. This week I've latched onto a topic that is important to every student at W.P.H.S.: senior privileges. I know they might not seem important to you underclassmen right now, but if you want any privileges when you are seniors, now is the time to let it be known.
   Though it is a bit difficult for you sophomores to see, I am sure I need not remind the juniors and seniors of the injustice that is taking place. Slowly, year by year, more and more privileges are being discarded, lost and forgotten as a new Senior Class of '61 will long remember its
sophomore year at W.P.H.S. The Senior class of that year was known as the "Sainted Seniors".

Teacher  Of  Week
By Dodi Simmerson
   Miss Julie Seibert, one of our English teachers here at Winter Park, feels that teenagers miss out on a lot by going steady while in their teens. She advises girls to be in their "twenties" before marrying but doesn't believe in long engagements.
   Miss Seibert likes to see girls wearing skirts and blouses and simple cottons to school. With the shorts, skirts and madras fad going around, Miss Seibert must be pleased.
   Our 11th and 12th grade English teacher was born in St. Marys, Ohio. She doesn't like rock and roll but does like jazz. Her favorite color is red and her favorite food is "anything that contains mushrooms". She likes to read, fish, sail, and sew. Do you think that she might have made some of those adorable "simple cottons" she wears?
   Miss Seibert's view on the next President is Nixon. But time will tell if she will be pleased on this score.
   They had privileges too numerous to mention. They had a Senior parking lot (what is now called the tennis courts), a Senior locker room, a senior goof off day, special senior door (not just the front), and a senior skip day.
   We waited and dreamed for the day when we would be the recipients of all these privileges and it never came. And if things go on like they are, there will be even fewer privileges when YOU are Seniors.
   Your Student Council is working to gain a revision of Senior privileges. If and when this revision is made, it will be brought to the class for a vote. I sincerely hope that you will have the foresight to back these efforts in procuring Senior privileges.
   If any of our readers wish to express their view on this or related subjects, I would be glad to print them in my column. This is your paper.

   Ready for the latest news, 'Cats?
   Marcia Gruber and David Sias are a lasting and cute twosome. Lynn Furr and Gary Dokter are also one of Winter Park's "old-time" couples. Must be Bobby Cross who makes Diane Beiger's eyes sparkle so! Jo Allen and Fred Hale are another darlin' pair!
   Several Sundays ago, Janie Mitchell was honored with a birthday tea by co-hostesses, Judy Kirkpatrick and Marty Wellinger. Punch, in a hallowed out watermelon, was served along with a birthday cake, sandwiches, and little candies. A partial guest list included: Linda Tindall, Gain Cannon, Ginny Rorby, Sandy Bowman, Kay Harris, Ellen Igou, Alex Bower, Ann Jenkins, and Liz Bennett.
   Summer flashback! Cute sophomore Carol Lee was the hostess at an August coke party. Those there were: Kim Hadley, Liz Bennett, Sigrid Bergstrom, Marty Wellinger, Gail Cannon, Jeannie Britt, Joan Musterman, Salli Tyler, Marcia Fosgate, Nancy Heinzen, Jo Allen, Nancy Hightower, Kathy Patch and Linna Ward.
   Libby Payton was here a few weekends ago visiting Lynne Ricks!
   Several Winter Park gals went to Gainesville for the Fla. vs. F.S.U. game. Fran Ussery, Susan Chace, and Linda Myrick all had a strickly tremendous time, as did Robin McKenzie, who's got a gleam in her eye. Is it due to a certain boy, Robin, or your weekend escapades?

   Teacher? Student? !!! Susan Chace, geature editor of the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc, had a little trouble last week distinguishing between the two.
   While selling the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc, Susan walked into Mrs. Appleman's homeroom, amazed to find no teacher there. After questioning the students, Mrs. Appleman, who was leaning over a students desk proceeded to walk over to his desk to prove to Miss Chace that he WAS the teacher.

   It was noticed last week that Mr. Toppen had quite a black and blue mark on his forehead. It seems that his daughter, Julie, who isn't a year old yet, hit him with a baseball bat. Mr. Toppen what were you doing to that poor girl?

   Bill Conners, sophomore, has been making earnest attempts lately to become a member of the Wheel Club. During one of his attempts he asked Chan Muller just what he could do to become a member. Chan informed him that the real secret was to go to coach Mosher, Wheel Club sponsor, and whisper in his ear "I'm a wheel." Of course, Coach totally confused, replied to Bill "I don't care if you're a rusty old spoke!"
Susi's Scoops (Continued.)
   Connie Shoup, Sandy Nelson, Dottie Bell, Brenda O'Steen, Mary Carter, and Jacque Cook have all given parties recently. Sandy had a "Sarah Coventry" party at which several Senior gals were shown a glittering variety of jewelry. Brenda and Dottie jointly threw a "teary" slumber party after he DeLand game, and Jacque honored Mabs Brown, Suzie Miller, and Carolyn Rayburn with a surprise birthday tea!
   Sandy Simpson had a gala party several weeks ago -- over 60 guests attended! Sounds like fun!!
   That's it for now, tune in next week.
