SYRACUSE SUMMARY By JO ELLEN SCHOEFF The news of individual pictures for the underclassmen caused sheer bedlam at SHS when it was announced that they were to be taken on Thursday of this week. The ponicy atmosphere was made even more so by the announcement of a trip to the Notre Dame campus in South Bend on Wednesday for all of the sophomores. The county tourney games have brought forth speculation and wishes of good luck to all of the ’Jackets from their many fans. Mrs. Wagner, SHS English teacher, has reported that her sophomore English class will be busy preparing a book of modern-day fables that they have been writ-

What about special performance equipment? Professional driving skills? Forget them. Nobody has to doctor or coax or soup up these Chevrolets to get the best out of them. And that’s really the test of a great highway performer: Just about anyone can get a kick out of driving one, just about anywhere, just as it comes out of the showroom. Next time you’re out your dealer’s way, allow a few extra minutes to sample one of these highway performers on your own. A few

Milford School News By EARLEEN FISHER The rapidly-approaching end-of-semester bears an ominous sign for upperclassmen: term papers are due. The seniors have papers to write for government and English or speech classes. Such subjects as the American flag, socialized medicine, Barry Goldwater, lotteries, and juvenile delinquency are being researched. The juniors and sophomores are not left out of the jolly little term paper assignment. United States history and occupations classes are learning about the fine art of term paper writing. SENIOR OF THE WEEK JOSEPH WHITED JESSOP The lively descriptions iff Milford's basketball games appearing regularly in this paper are written by this week’s subject, Joe Jessop. Joe’s parents are Kurman and Lois Jessop. He is a member of band and chorus, both the Trojanette and Trojan Teller staffs, and treasurer of his class. He is majoring in social studies, commerce, and English. Joe’s asserted ambition is to live long and happy. Re doesn't care to reveal his secret ambition. Joe’s advice to underclassmen is "develop good study habits”. A change he would like made in MHS would be to delegate more power to the student council. Joe's favorites include: colors, red and blue; sport, basketball; food, eggs; book, "The Carpetbaggers”;, singer, Jackie Wilson; song, "Exodus”; actors, James Stewart and Robert Mitchum; movie, "The Guns of Navarron”; subject, history; pastime, reading. FRESHMAN NEWS By Kristi Lichtenwalter Vacation is over and it’s back to school again. Time to start studying for semester exams, too. There’s quite a bit to study, and I, along with others, will probably do plenty of cramming. The Latin; students have been doing translations, and the home ec. girls have been learning to cook'. / Just recently in biology a rat was dissected by our teacher, Mr. Allen. Later this year we’ll be doing our own. At the present time we’re studying the invertebrates, animals without backbones, and preparing to dissect a worm. In English we’re doing a combination of grammar," spelling, and literature, in addition to our weekly themes. We’d like to congratulate the Trojans for their victory in the 4way tourney, and wish them luck in the county. Keep up the good work, boys!. ! EIGHTH GRADE NEWS , By Paula Burgett None of us are looking forward to the semester finals which are coming up too soon to please us. We’re all wondering why we didn’t pay more attention to the teachers. Oh, well,’ what’s done is done, and the only way we can better ourselves is to straighten up next semester. In many of our subjects we are reviewing. In science we are still on health and safety. Arithmetic, geography, and English have changed little. SYRACUSE FT A NEWS By JUDY STUCKY On December 18, 1963 the Syracuse Future Teachers of America held their monthly social meeting at the home of Barb Arnold. The theme of the meeting was Christmas.
