Indoor Track Makes '73 Debut This winter 35 Handley athletes will be participating in the indoor track program. Coach Stuart Allen stated that due to the lack of transportation, only 13 boys will be able to travel to meets. These 13 boys will be covering all events which involve schools of the Commonwealth District.

Allen named the following boys Osth, Larrick, Manzqna Join Handley Faculty Several new teachers have recently been added to the Handley faculty. Miss Lynn Osth from Berryville, has joined the language department. For two years, Miss Osth majored in Spanish at the University of Madrid in Spain. Afterwards, she attended various French schools throughout France and Switzerland learning to speak and write French. At the University of Vienna in Austria, she mastered German.

Reviewing her travels, Miss Osth felt she had the best time on a Christmas cruise on the Mediterrian. Besides travel, she likes handcrafts, tennis, yardwork, and water-skiing. Presently, she's busy learning to play the piano. She enjoys teaching at Handley. The English department has gained two new teachers.

Mrs Darlene H. Manzana, a graduate of Handley, teaches eighth grade English. She attended Shepherd College, and previously taught two years in the Loudoun County School System. Last year, Mrs. Manzana substituted at Handley.

She has one son, Richard, who is in Form I at Powhatan School. Mrs. Manzana says she has a comfortable feeling teaching at Handley, though it is crowded and there are many new faces. David Larrick teaches Creative Writing and English. He earned his B.A.

degree at the University of Virginia and is presently working on an M.A. degree in Germanic languages at Cornell University. Larrick taught freshman English at Ithica College in New York before coming to Winchester. Besides teaching, he enjoys music, playing piano, chess, swimming, travel, and studying languages. He is favorably impressed with Handley, likes his job, and says that it's good to be teaching again.

A hearty welcome is extended to the new teachers. GAVEL Takes New Look "Our function (at Handley) is more like Time magazine than the Washington said Cornelius Tarplee, sponsor of the Gavel. The fifth publication of the Gavel will appear at the end of this month, including several reviews and a special feature about the new exam system and the reactions and criticisms from students and teachers. Although in the past the Gavel has been classified a newspaper, its format has been changed to the horizontal lay-out style which is more like a magazine. The news that is reported is more featurized than that of a regular newspaper because the Gavel is not a daily publication and cannot be because of the time involved for writing, dummying-up, laying out, and printing.

The Gavel has always followed a policy of free speech and encourages all students with an- V-Ball Champs Determined Volleyball games with both girls' teams and co-ed teams were concluded earlier this month with tenth and eleventh grade teams taking top honors.

Those receiving the honor of attending all Virginia Choir in LBJ's Great Society Programs Phased Out WASHINGTON (AP) Many of Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society social programs are being dismantled at the time of his death, victims of a budget squeeze and his successor's different approach to domestic problems. Model Cities, urban renewal, housing subsidies and manpower training are among the Johnson- era programs falling before President Nixon's budget ax.

But other major legislatie accomplishments of Johnson's Medicare and antidiscrimination long endure. Three factors have prompted Nixon's moves to phase out or sharply curtail Great Society social-spending programs. First is their steadily rising costs. Nixon wants to hold federal spending this fiscal year to $250 billion, and next fiscal year to about $270 billion. To do this mandates sharp cuts in big-ticket programs.

Second is the fact that Nixon and many of his key advisers hold that many Great Society programs are, as White House aide John Ehrlichman put it, "inherently unworkable." Third is Nixon's view that revenue sharing is a better way to attack major social ills. In the past month, a number of Great Society programs have been hit by a series of cutbacks, freezes and fund impoundments. For example, an 18-month moratorium has been placed on all new commitments for federal- housing-subsidy programs for low-and middle-income families, a federal-aid system established by legislation Johnson initiated. Likewise, a freeze has been imposed on new financing for Model Cities and urban renewal, as well as for manpowertraining programs. In addition to the temporary measures applying to current fiscal-year spending, administration sources are predicting cuts of up to 50 per cent in programs of the Department of Housing and Urban Johnson when Nixon sends his fiscal 1974 budget to Congress next week.

Nixon's previous budgets have curtailed operations of the poverty-fighting Office of Economic Opportunity. Some major OEO programs, such as Head Start, have been shifted to other agencies or eliminated completely, Of all the social programs Johnson pushed through Congress, perhaps the most enduring has been Medicare, the system of medical care for the aged financed through Social Security. Medicare was first proposed by President John F. Kennedy, but Kennedy couldn't get it through Congress. Johnson did.

The Junior Evening Star Published by Students of Handley High School Tuesday, January 23, 1973 Tribute to Judge Handley Once again the students and administration of Handley will honor the man for whom the school was named, Judge John Handley. Saturday morning, the anniversary of Handley's birthday, the G.O. officers, representatives of the Executive Council, members of the Chapel Committee, class presidents and administrative representatives will honor Judge Handley in a special ceremony.

Throughout the week a display about Judge Handley and the wreath to be placed on his grave will be on display to remind Handley students of their benefactor. A more complete picture of the man to remember, Judge John Handley, can be gained by reading the following passage, taken from the John Handley High School Handbook. Judge John Handley was born Jan. 27, 1835, in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland. His father kept a coffee shop and was a carpenter by trade.

According to the annals of Irish history, many of the Handley family had been war chiefs and, during the fourth century, one of them had been an Irish king. When he was nineteen, John Handley came to Washington, D.C., and began to study law at night, working as a carpenter during the day. In 1861, he moved to Scranton, Pennsylvania and opened a law office. When Handley first went to Scranton, he was looked upon as a rebel spy of the South and was indeed at a certain time in danger of being lynched. He, after much effort on his part, proved to the people that he was a loyal man, and then went to work to prove this loyalty by actions and not mere words.

His first position of any importance was Consul of the Draft Commission. Other positions followed until in 1875, he became Judge of Lackawanna County Court. His income from this office and from his law practice was invested in lands, some of which were found to contain rich deposits of coal, and others later became a part of the rapidly growing city of Scranton These investments thus became the principle source of his large fortune. Judge Handley was described as a man six feet four inches tall, Band Goes To Swoope Fifteen Handley students will participate in the All Regional Band to be held Feb. 2-4, at Buffalo Gap High School in Swoope, Va.

The following band members were selected by audition: flutes, Tom Hook and Renee Valentine; clarinets, Cindy Burke and Judy MacLellan; bass clarinet, Laura Pretorius; contrabass clarinet, Jimmy Berlin; Alto saxophones, Chuck Miller and Clyde Bearss; baritone sax, Maxine Kerns; French horn, Robert Speaks and Scott Robinson; Trumpets, Mike Fitzgerald and Todd Black; and percussion, Terry Whitmire and Carl Bowman. Students will audition again upon arrrival at Buffalo Gap on Friday morning. Those who place high in the symphonic band auditions will be eligible for state Band members will practice on Friday and Saturday in preparation for a concert Sunday afternoon. of an extremely dignified and commanding bearing. His pride in his Irish ancestry and, probably some pardonable pride in his own accomplishments had marked him with the expression and carriage of a man of distinguished lineage.

He was intensely interested in education and sent many boys through secondary schools and colleges with one condition, that they not disclose the fact that he was paying for their education. His first contact with this community was through Mr. James Jifkins, an Englishman, whom he had known intimately in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, and who, in the year 1869, moved to Frederick County and purchased a farm about three miles northwest of Winchester. A few years later Judge Handley visited the family of Mr. Jifkins in Frederick County and became acquainted with some of the people of the community, among them Major Holmes Conrad, who was attorney for Mr.

Jifkins. Major Conrad and Judge Handley became very close friends and carried on a correspondence. It is generally understood that it was through the agency of Major Conrad that Judge Handley became interested in Winchester and its people. Judge Handley died February 15, 1895. His will was found to contain an item which interested this community.

The sum of $250,000 was left to the city of Winchester, the money to be invested until the initial sum, plus the interest, should amount to $500,000, at which time a public library was to be built for the free use of the people of Winchester. In addition to providing Winchester with a public library, Judge Handley also left a sizeable amount to the city for the erection and maintenance of schools. This provision was found in his will: "All the rest and residue to be expended and laid out in city by the erection of school for the education of the poor." At his request, Judge Handley's body was brought to Winchester and buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery. Before his death he chose the great marble shaft that is over his grave with this well known quotation from Shakespeare, "After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well."
