Kelly - Whitner
Presidents
   On Wednesday, September 21, the Sophomore and Junior classes held their elections. For the Sophomores, Net Whitner is President; Chad Price, Vice-President; Diedia Dickenson, Secretary; and Tommy Scroggs, Treasurer. Also running in these close electrions were Mike Gilmore for President; Bobby Sias for Vice-President; and Janet Squillante, Leslie White, and Jackie Robinson for Secretary.
   The Juniors chose Mike Kelly, President; John Delgado, Vice-President; Ann Jenkins, Secretary; and Marty Wellinger, Treasurer. Other candidates were: Bob Ross, for President; Jim Stokes, Jim Rich, Linda Tindall, Nat Turnbull, Betsy Cragg and Pam Stapley for Vice-President; Linda Myrick, Rita Dunn, Lance Howden, Connie McDowell and Susan Baker for Secretary; Jeanie Britt, Carolyn Annear, Nancy Peck, Delores Meyers, Tom Lawton and Sharon Sindad.
   President Mike Kelly of the Junior Class says that his class will sponsor the concession stand this year. Several car washes are also planned to raise money for the prom. The question of class dues is still undecided at this time, but voting on this issue will take place in the near future.
Seniors   Set   Future
   In full standing, the "Class of 61" is three hundred, sixty strong. Our day of reckoning as "Seniors", is here and we expect all to have respect for it. We are not below admonishment or rebuff from our faculty, but underclassmen should beware of "Senior Intentions!"
   In a short time, future seniors will be confronted with several votes from their Student Council. These ballots will concern Senior Privileges. Present recognized Senior Privileges are: walking through the front door, and leaving assemblies first. The New privileges on the agenda include: making a sidewalk in the front door a Senior walk, Huntington Avenue becoming a Senior and faculty parking area only, and perhaps establishing a Senior lunch line.
   It is true that we, the present Senior Class, will reap the benefits first, but everyone should remember that the first fruits aren't always the best.
   In establishing these reverences, the Class of '61 is preparing the way for you, the Class of '62 and '63. This glory is not a selfish one. We want these resolutions for everyone and the glory will eventually be shared by all. Your future "Saintedness' as Seniors will be founded by the passing of these coming proposals.

Underclassmen Beware!!!
   All underclassmen are urged to beware of seniors for they are going to be hot-on-the-tail of any junior or sophomore who abuses the privilege of the "Senior Door for Seniors only." Any underclassmen reported going through the Senior Door are required by Mrs. Ramsdell to write a two page theme entitled, "Why I Should Not Walk Through the Senior Door Until I Am A Senior."
   That was the sad but true story of Jay Gustafson, a junior, who was caught and was made to pay his debt to society and the Senior Class. Will this crime ever be forgotten by the members of the twelfth grade class? Only time will tell, but first Jay must prove himself.
   It seems that another Winter Park student is also having trouble with rules and regulations. In the past two weeks, Senior Suzy Cushing has been stopped by the police three times!!!! Red Light !?!? Speeding!?!? Illegal parking !?!? Come now Miss Cushing, don't you think this is getting a little expensive???
   An earnest attempt was made last week to deodorize the Wildcat's Den by an unsuspecting senior girl. After all attempts to enter the building J.R. left with her Fuller Brush Aerosol Spray as full as it was when she came. Too bad, J.R., maybe if you talk to Coach Orr, he can get the football boys to do it.
Frank Ferguson reported having a marvelous time while in Italy and Europe, but it seemed that he had to forego two days of the three he was scheduled to attend the Olympics in Rome, due to illness. Sorry, Frank, we hope that it didn't inconvenience you too much or take up too much of your time. What appeared to be wrong???
   The stork is soon to arrive in the homes of two former W.P.H.S. teachers. Mrs. Kleinknight, who taught algebra and plane geometry for many years here, and Mrs. Delmas, typing instructor last year, are both gracious ladies in waiting this fall.
   A party of well wishers for departing Seniors and alumni was in full force two week ends ago on the back row of the Winter Park Drive-In. The one flaw to this group of merry-makers appeared when the fun was over; there seemed to be confusion as to just who the party was for. But who said you had to have someone who was going away at a going away party?
   Stu Smith is looking for the owner of a baby blue lace slip which someone forgot and left in his car. Stu would like to contact the owner immediately so that he can explain it to his mother!!!
