Though a branch of Student Council, the court does not crn, control, Judge, or punish the student.

The court's job, its only job, is to help students, whether socially or spiritually, and to keep them, on the right track. Members are selected from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes by a Student Council committee. Two members from each class are selected with full voting privileges and two alterv Ik 1 nates, one from the senior andj one from the junior class who attend all the meetings and may voice their opinions, but who II vuie oniy in me aDsence oi a regular member, r' At a Student Court meeting, GOP Club Aids Office-Seekers on All Levels By GARY SKOVSTED Last March 25 high 6chool teenagers from the Racine county area formed, a -Teen age Republican Club (TAR), under the guidance and di rection of the Racine County Young Republicans.

The Racine TAR does much of the "leg work" for the county organization, In dis tributing yard signs, canvass ing precincts, and handing out campaign literature and bumper stickers. The teenagers hold reguiaiH meetings twice a month, at which time they listen to prominent speakers, conduct debates and discussions, and plan their social functions.

By JO ELLEN SEELMAN Many students have questioned Lutheran High School's policy against social dancing at school functions.

Square dancing Is permitted, but other types of dancing not encouraged. Last year the question was discussed in Junior Religion class and a few students decided to do something constructive about it instead of blindly complaining, They drew up a paper which requested, that social dancing be sanctioned after the homecoming game and the school prom which now is held in a hall away from school. The students felt it would, be better to have a dance at school where it could be properly Chaperoned and regulated, it would save money of rent ing a hall, accidents to and from the party could be avoided, par ents would know exactly where their children were, and that! dancing in itself when done in the right atmosphere, can provide healthy recreation ZTht Daoer was sent to the Student "Council, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the school's Board of Trustees Top Ten Platters in Racine Area Poor Side of Town Johnny Rivers Reach Out I'll Be There 4 Tops 96 Tears? and Mysterlans Hooray for; Hazel Tommy Roe "Last Train to ClarksVUle Monkees Walk Away Renee Left Bank Cherry Cherry NeH Diamond Psycotlc Reaction Cherish Associations Good Vibration B.B. the chairman calls the meeting to order, an oral roll call is taken and then no minutes or notes are kept of the meetings In order to prevent rumors about students getting out.

The court decides that either a court member will be asked to sit down and talk with this per- son about his troubles and try to work out a solution? or else in extreme cases, the student will be brought before the court, and as a group the court will try to find where this person's djffl-culties lie.

This year the Racine County Young Democrats are starting all over with a pew group- mainly combined of high school students. They encourage "anyone interested in politics to join, Peak Activity The group is at its peak activi ty in pre-election periods. How did most of the teens become interested in the Young Dems?

Sometimes the music is loud it blacks out your ears, but the kids seem to love it. Dances go in and out so fast they make your head "swim." But then again that went out too.

Slow dancing is also a favorite among the teens. It gives them a chance to catch their breath after the fast moving pace they usually follow. The "Warner Brothers" band feels "That dancing is fulltime with teens and they spend half of their income on records annu ally. They believe the reasons dances go out so fast is that the kids change their minds as they grow older and they are always searching for somebody new." After a teen has mastered these dances he has a feeling of accomplishment. But after being on a dance floor for hours at a time he feels hot and tired! The all-girl band, the "Luv'd say "The Jerk and the Twist have gone out for good.

In a last effort to try to make some students realize their mistakes, the court may have to give up and refer them to the faculty.

The Missouri Synod said that after thorough Bible and church history research, it came to. these conclusions: 1 "Christians are not denied amusement and in any amuse ment, even square dancing, we must be careful of our actions.

Dancing can be 'suggestive', but so can other types of parties, or just sitting in the classroom. "As Christians we should be concerned about our neighbors' faith, and not place temptations in front of them. Dancing should not be singled out, but approached with caution."

BY OWEN LEVIN BannenTwavlng, buttons and pins bouncing, bleachers trying to out-yell each other across a cold field all characterize what is probably the most prominent sports event in Racine Park- Horlick Day.

Park-Horlick is more than a football game, it's become a tradition an institution. From its conception in 1929 it has symbolized healthy, competitive spirit between the two rival schools. Today, In 1966, with the addi tion of the new Jerome I. Case High School, the institution has come to an end. No longer will there be Park-Horlick rivalry as it has come to be known.

On the occasion of this last event farewell to an institution a little reminiscing of the spirit of yesteryear is In order. Always Packed James Gilmore, member of the School Board for 27 years, one of the early graduates of Park and a devoted Park-Hor lick football fan, recalls that when Racine was half the size of today Horlick Field was al ways packed for the game. One game was played in 10 degree below weather on Thanksgiving Day and drew a crowd of 10,000 people. "There was, more Interest then than now. There was more organized cheering.

Everyone knew the cheers," said Gilmore, "in those days the football field ran where the baseball field now is. An interesting sidelight is that the team had to buy their own football shoes in those days," said Gilmore. In 1962 the Senior class of Horlick hoisted the Rebel flag at Park the morning of the game. In 1964, because of the tremendous growth of Horlick, the traditional assembly had to be held in the Zayre's store parking lot. But these are only small in cidents in the spirit of the day.

Each school annually tries to outsell the other with- ticket sales. Pep assemblies such as the one in 1964 are held at both schools, 1 There annually is a co-opera tive skit with members of both schools presented at both assemblies. Alumni are encouraged to attend the 'game and root for'their alma mater.
