WINTER PARK HIGH SCHOOL, WINTER PARK, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 15 , 1960
What Teacher Met
Dr. Schweitzer
   What teacher met Dr. Albert Schweitzer?
   Born in Cohasett, Massachusetts, Mrs. Mernard, Winter Park's new French teacher, "Adores" Florida for its warm weather.
   She has taught French "many" years, teaching in Massachusetts after going to the University of New Hampshire.
   Mrs. Menard has, indeed, met the great. The most exciting event in her life was when she met Dr. Albert Schweitzer on a liner to France. He asked her questions about herself and did not speak of his own great works. This proves that the greater they come the more humble they are.

   Hi! This is your busy reporter, Susi, beinging you the latest news and gossip concerning students here at good old Winter Park.
   A large open house was given at the beautiful new Officer's Club at the Orlando Air Force Base during July. The hostesses were Kay Harris, Joanne Cunningham, Linda Tindall, and alumni Monika Denning and Charlyne Peters. Many, many guests attended, making this a swinging affair!
   Winter Park was very well represented at the Blue Ridge Assembly in North Carolina. Janie Mitchell, Pat Erie, Susan Gray, Fran Ussery, Marty Wellinger, and Sandy Cash were among those there. Also, Judy Kirkpatric, Mary Cash, Bonnie Boone, Elnora Wright, Nancy Wrenn, Ann Jenkins, and Betsy Britten were seen among the representatives.
   Brenda O'Steen, Towayam editor, and the Towayam business manager, JoAnne Horvath, spent a week in Gainesville, learning more about the making of an annual.
   Winter Park traveled far and wide during their short-lived vacations. Heather Marwick and Robin McKenzie both visited in Canada. In the opposite direction, JoAnn Ross spent several days in Bimini, an island in the Caribbean. Frank Ferguson is still in Europe as the result of being chosen one of the two Florida delegates to the World Youth Conference in Holland. Pat Stephenson went to Alabama, Lee Van Wormer saw the lights in Oregon, Dewey Ramsby and Richard Giannini drove to New York, and Carolyn Rayburn had a cool time in the "blue-grass state", Kentucky.
New Season's Lineup
by Leroy Frick
   Well Cats, it's going to be a long hard season, but no need to be pessimistic. With a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work the WP eleven should come up on top in the season's first tilt at Melbourne on the 23rd of September.
   Despite the lack of varsity experience, the Cats are shaping up fast. With only nine varsity players returning this season there will be quite a few gaps to fill. Fortunately the line should not suffer. With veterans Richard Giannini, Buster Judy, Gene Mooney, Frank Ferguson, and Chan Muller, supplemented by sophomore Clark Lambert and J.V. linemen Tim Hartung and David Pughe, the line should shape up into an efficient and powerful unit.
    The backfield, coached by Bob Mosher, should also develop into a well balanced unit. Greg Holland, Max Morris, Ray Myers, and Gary Dokter, second string varsity backfiend last year, saw a good deal of action due to injuries of other players during the season. This experience along with J.V. players Jim Rich, John Prevatt, and Glenridge star Net Whitner should give us the necessary depth in case of any unforseen accidents to the starters. Billy Collier is also in contention for the quarterback spot along with Holland.
   Tim Hartung and Clark Lambert are practicing kickoffs and Gene Mooney and Mike Born will be handling the extra points.
   This is the tam this year. Again, it will be a long season with few injuries (we hope). But with many students and fans backing the team, it will have a better chance for the spotlight.
Susi's Scoops (Continued.)
    While many relaxed this summer, still others were hard at work. These lucky or unlucky ones, as the case may be, were Sara Moores, who "Played" receptionist, Sharon O'Neal, Jean Welch, Ray Myers and John Prevatt who spent their spare hours working at the Orlando Youth Center. (Tell us all about it, John!)
    SharonWhite isa happy girl now that Steve Stevenson has left the hospital! Welcome back, Steve, it's good to see you hobbling around our hallowed halls.
   Linda Myrick was the lovely hostess at a small luncheon honoring Carole Lober, who is soon departing for Fairfax Hall, a Girl's school in Virginia. Chicken salad was served, after which followed ice cream parfaits and cookies for dessert. Those bidding Carole a fond fairewell were Linda Tindall, Jo Ann Ross, Julie Haynie, Marty Wellinger, and Susan Chace.
   Simmie Wrenn, Tim Bassler, Nancy Wrenn, and Sue Trapnell all studied at Mars Hill College in the gorgeous hills of North Carolina this summer. The setting was a beautiful one for the nine-week study course.
   Sharon Hayes, Lynn Furr, Susan Chace, Suzie Miller, and one lone boy, Ronnie Peacock were all busy as bees at the Student Council Convention in Gainesville during July.
TODAY'S DOUBLE DIP
   Have you heard about the drunk who was lost; went into a phone booth to call his wife, and when asked where he was said, "lemme look." In a minute he returned with "I'm at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk!"
