PAGE 42 A I I I WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1969 'WW Tuned In On Tucson Mrs. Ruth Harris, Rincon Social Studies teacher, will leave the United States March 1, for Lahore, Pakistan, where she will live for approximately two years. Her resignation from Rincon became effective Jan. 31. Mrs.

Harris will attend Lahore University to earn her Ph. D. In a Faculty-Student Basketball game, played last Friday at Immaculate Heart High, the teachers show that they weren't soft by beating the students by more than a few points, The Student Progress Organization of Tucson (SPOT) sponsored a forum on the Black Movement in America on -Monday evening, at 7:30 in the Amphitheater High School Little Theater. Other SPOT activities planned include an election of officers for Student City Administration Day or March 1. Martha Ware, Rincon senior, has been named 1969 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow.

She was selected on the basis of her score and an attitude evaluation given in December. Martha is now eligible for a state or national scholarship. As a state winner Martha could receive a $1,500 scholarship and Rincon would receive a set of Encyclopedia Britannica. An assembly was held last Tuesday for class re-elections, and a proposal for culottes and homeroom Federation, at Sunnyside. The Student body passed culottes unanimously but failed to approve the Homeroom Federation as another governing organization on campus.

Students who were elected for freshmen class representative, Sophomore class treasurer, and junior class treasurer and representative were Marcy Frazier, Chuckie Huebel, Judy Madril, and Ellen Basham, respectively, Tricia Black, May Gin, and Gene Renner were recently elected to the Flowing Wells Student Council to serve as representatives of the junior class. Larry Cooper and Richard Winn, '68 Rincon graduates, were placed on the Deans List at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs. Both were commended for scholastic achievement. DOUBLE WHOOPEE Chunky Chocolate Increases Funds ByANNAELIAS Salpointe Editor This past weekend Salpointe participated in another fundraising drive. Throughout the crowded halls could be sniffed the lingering aroma of World's Finest Chocolate.

Not that anybody minded the smell: it was just the idea of not being able to get your greasy little hands on a chunk of tasty, crunchy, chewy, mouthwatering, one-quarter pound of chocolate before it was handed out at the end of the day. "Pep" talks were given by members of the faculty to get the chocolate drive under way. One teacher reminded the students to remember that "Nothing's easier to sell to Americans than chocolate. And remember, it's not "candy" you're selling but a quarter pound of the World's Finest Chocolate. And naturally, all the students joined in an enthusiastic "double-whoopee-ding-ding!" The funds raised from the chocolate drive will be used for the payment of some of the school's debts.

For each box sold one dollar will be added to each class' treasury. The Juniors will probably use their profits for their class rings and the Junior-Senior prom which will be held in April. Seniors plan to contribute their profits as part of their class gift at graduation. Freshmen and sophomores will use the money they receive for a "rainy day." Speaking of rain a wet blanket overshadowed part of the chocolate drive pep assembly when Sr. Ruth Marie, math department head, announced that money raised in the chocolate drive would be utilized in making it possible for every student to take four years of math.

This statement was joined by a chorus of that which multiplied by two times the cubed root of eight times three to the sixth power divided by the square root of thirtysix times fortyone twice would give you another "double-whoopee-ding- ding." Canyon Furthers The Registration By TAMMY MURRAY CDO Reporter "Let's see, if I take Eastern Civilizations now, I won't have to take Western Div. Anyway, they say Eastern Div. has a groovy lesson on ancient Chinese torture. "Or else I could take geometry, the teacher has a couple real cute lines herself. "Now what about Physical Education? Somehow I always manage to flunk that course.

Maybe I can get a course in modified ball pushing. "English, no worry, it's required. We'll probably have to learn about adjective clauses or clauses that are adjective. are a few of the minor trials and tribulations in pre- rcgistration. First comes the ominous announcement over the Mer-com, "All sophomores and Freshmen report to the gym for an assembly.

Please remember to bring a pencil and paper." Thoughts go racing through your head: "They're going to get us!" Mass murders? The writing of your last will and testament? Maybe a paper pushing contest? All the possibilities are discussed and then discarded. The time arrives and you are sitting in the gym, with a rather blank look on your face. Then the counselors arrive. "Oh good," you think, "we're finally going to get the truth." "The reason for this assembly is You hear them continuing, "pre-registration for next year." Suddenly all your hopes are dashed. They're not going to get us, after all.

Another childish illusion has died. But this is not the end. There is still the long wait for the secret meeting with your coun selors. Your secret sins our thoroughly discussed, past test scores are exhumed and confessions are made. Finally you ended up with everything you thought you didn't want and nothing you wanted.

And somehow everyone seemed vaguely happy. Oh well. Better luck next time. PALO VERDE LIVELY Titan Seniors Swipe Spirit Week Honors By KERRY KETTENBACH Palo Verde Editor A busy week full of activities and competition between classes took place at Palo Verde last week as Spirit Week was marked. The week began with the judging of the halls.

Each class was designated an area of the school to decorate according to the class theme. Students represent- ing every class volunteered to help decorate and spent nearly all of the previous weekend in preparation for the judging on Monday. The judges for the halls, and the class mascots, which were displayed in the cafeteria during the week, were Mr. Roy Cole, Mr. Frank Kowalcek, Mrs.

Celeste Norris, Miss Nancy Ren- shaw and Mr. George Wagner. There was a tie for first place in the hall competition between the freshmen and the seniors. The sophomores and juniors won second and third places're- spectively. The seniors won the competition for the best class mascot.

Tuesday was gold and blue day. Representatives from each class dressed in togas to promote spirit for the game to be held at Salpointe that night. A'car caravan was organized and prizes were given to several persons. First place went to senior Rod Drake, second place to junior Greg Cutchall and third place to senior Jeff Woolen. The Titanics were held Wednesday night on the football field.

The competition between classes included such things as tricycle races, three-legged races and a tug-of-war pitting the sophomores and juniors against the seniors and freshmen. Also, chariot races were held between the classes and clubs. The Titanics were won by the sophomore class with the seniors as second runners up. The penny count competition between classes ended Thurs- day. The money raised was donated to AFS toward bringing a foreign exchange student to Palo Verde.

The week was climaxed with a pep assembly on Friday. The cheerleaders and songleaders presented routines and the captains of the wrestling and basketball teams spoke to the student body to encourage them to attend the game against Sa- huaro that night. Also, the Spirit Week royalty was announced. Seniors Debbie Hoxie and Bill Jensen were crowned queen and king respectively. Junior class queen and king were Mary Maldonado and Gilbert Olvares.

Rhonda Gray and Mike Polivchak were crowned sophomore queen and king while Susie Kesse and Tim Benge represented the freshmen. Rincon To Compete For the first time in Rincon's 11-year history, it received an invitation to participate at the highly competitive 38th Annual Rocky Mountain Invitational Forensics Tournament, last week. Rincon, the only school in southern Arizona represented at the tournament, sent eight of its advanced speech student to Denver. Debaters Debbie Mickey -Phyllis Petersen and Mickey McKinley Dave Robson were registered in the Championship division of the debate. Debbie and Phyllis were recently ranked fourth in national forensics by "Rostrum." Entered in the novice debate was the team of Jay Roth Bert Rotter.

Competing officially in individual events were seniors Rhonda Kaufman and Julie Keaton. Rhonda placed second in interpretation of serious prose at the last practice tournament, Jan. 11. Girl Climbs Cliff-In Training Car Mountain climbing is becoming a hobby with many Catalina students and one has even attempted to do it an easier way in a car. Sophomore Patti Porter tried this last Friday during her drivers' training lesson.

She was driving about five mph on east Speedway near Reddington, where the class was iinishing the lesson on the standard shift, when, according to lyde Phillips, drivers' training as she turned to look at him, she turned the wheel, too. "Before I could grab the wheel, we ran into the side of the mountain," comments Phillips. "The was a ditch along the road and the wheels got caught in it, jerking the car against the mountain," explains Patti. As she hit the side of the mountain, she knocked off the door handle, the mirror -and some chrome on the car's right side. "It was hilarious.

Everyone was in hysteria except Mr. Phillips who kind of shook up," she adds. MISS of the week photo by Sender! Manley Smiling Hi Deb Lisa OH loves to travel. Last summer she and her family took a trip deep into Mexico. At home and at school Lisa has many interests.
