Not in picture is Ralph Wortman. who had already been packed into the suitcase. AMUNDSEN SENDS DELEGATES TO ISHSPA CONVENTION Have you ever heard ot' ISHSPA? Most students have, but do you know what those initials mean? Are you stumped? Well, they mean Illinois State High School Press Association, The headline :vent ot' ISHSPA will be the annual convention on the Illinois campus, October lit-20. These conventions are also known as giant re-charging sessions with extra volts to spare. This year, Jim Ka- zanis, editor: .lohn Schultz and Vince Reilly, page editorsg and Ralph Wortman, business manager, will attend the convention representing Amundsen. The trip to l'rhana will certainly prove entertaining for the Bennett Gives Tips To Future Stars Tony Ilennett is a dark haired. olive skinned person, with a warm personality, living up to his nick- name, Mr. Sincerity. Ilennett. who always wante.l a singing career, started his climb to t'ame at sixteen by working in a night club in Astoria, I.ong Island. lle t'eels Ilob Ilope has given him the most help in the t'ourteen years that have followed. Hope took him on tour. and upon their return, Columbia Itecords signed Ilennett on as one of their artists. His best seller has been Because ot' You. his newest is Just In Time. and his t'avorites are Blue Velvet and Stranger In l'aradise. About lillvis, Tony believes he will do well in movies if given the right role. In his opinion, Pat Boone will long outlast Presley, and in time will join Johnny Ray by be- coming a big office attraction. These facts were disclosed at a recent intereview at the Chex Paree boys, and they come back ready to re-charge the staff's battery. Iligh-lighting the conventions will be featured speakers, who will voice views and experiencesg the Gold Key presentation for outstanding service to scholastic journalism: divisional meetings, two dozen in number where all problems con- cerning journalism can be brought up and discussed: the Fun Fest, t'amed for convention entertain- ment, including mixer games, dis- tinctive acts, and dancing: exhibits of commercial printers, cover mak- ers, and engravers, displays of stu- dent publications, journalism texts, and salon of national prize winning photographyg election of officers of ISHSPA: faculty events, includinga banquet for all teachers, coffee hour, and election of officers of the Illinois Association of Teachers of .Journalism for 1956 and 19573 and reported experiences that will thrill tcp student journalists who will be attending the convention. which was attended by Jean Soren- sen, Carol Ethcrton, Nanci Wichert, Carol Peterson, Judy Kott., and Jan- ice Hite, who represented the Log. FOSTER FLORAL SHOP BILL'S HISTORY STUDENTS TO DEBATE ON PARTY MERITS Which party do you support?Well, 110W you may have the chance to give your opinion on the way our government is run. Hot, arguments will be heard com- ing from Mr. t'harIc.v HilI'.v U.S. history classes during the next few weeks. His students have chosen sides for their favorite party and will debate on the merits and short- comings of both the Republican and Democratic parties. Classes have split up to form two teams with several students on a team and three principal speake1's, leaving the others to gather the informa- tion to be used. The three speakers from each team will give their ar- guments in favor of their party, during one period, The following day either the same speakers or YOUR HORROR SCOPE For Thursday, October 18 Look below for your happy pre- diction of the day.

EDITOR: IOHN FLUDAS WHAT . . . ME WORRY? A club, whose main purpose is Theodora sounds high falutin' and sorta fancy, but she's just plain October 18. 1956 T H E A M U N D S E N I. O G Page Five COLLEGE Listen! . 41295 0 , By Iecmnie Ring ws Q N Calling all airs. 481. and -urs in- .Inq A L ' imma in schoimhapsi 1-1-monons Mssssncss C., , ' Loyal readers and faithful gossip- int'orming students of scholastic opportunities, has been organized under the expert guidance of Mrs. Mary Helen Heflin. The officers are Vince Reilly, presidentg John Kambanis, veepg Violette Georgas, secretary: and Marlene Sehramm, treasurer. Each year millions of dollars worth of scholarships are not ap- plied for. Thus, all eligible seniors are urged to make immediate ap- plications for the Scholarship Qual- ification Test to be given through- out the United States and its ter- ritories at 9 a.m. of Wednesday, October 24. The test is based on a high-level scholastic aptitude com- posed by the College Entrance Ex- amination Board in Princeton, New Jersey, and a fee of one dollar is requested for zulministration al- though the upper 5941 of the entire senior class will be given the exam free. Reporters in Making Only outstanding pupils who have been recommended by their English teachers for their literary ability and dependability are members of the Publicity Club. This group, sponsored by Miss Helen Lindahl, publleizes the school's activities by submitting articles to local and city newspapers. The club, which was organized last March, has in- cluded a trip to the Meyer Publish- ing Company among its activities. The officers are Ken Knutson, president: Omie Daniels, veep: Dolly Teislng, secretaryg and Lynn Brandenburg, treasurer. GOOD IDEA Hoping to inspire his workers with promptness and energy, a Ca- nadian businessman hung a num- ber of signs re'ading Do It Now! around his factory and office. When asked some weeks how his staff had reacted, he shook his head sadly. I don't even like to talk about book- later it, he replied. The head keeper eloped with the best secre- tary I ever hadg three typlsts asked for an increase: the factory hands decided to go on strike and the office boy joined the Navy. Schwab's Food Shop and Bakery We cater to Party Orders Sandwiches to take out 1002 FOSTER AVE. - L0 1-4958 Teddy to us-and mighty nice, too. This gal seems to have some kind of , magic touch, for'eve1-ything she puts a finger into succeeds. Those who know Teddy know that lt's nothing more than her contagious enthusiasm and willingness to work. When she has a job to do she goes to it in a big wayg more often than not, it's for someone else too. Teddy will long be remembered at A.H.S. as an active participant in Greek Club, fashion shows, lettergirls, intramuralhs, S.G.C., scholarship club, Honor Society and office worker. She in turn will long remember all the fun she crammed into her four years, most of all her crazy clubsisters and all the swell times they've had. LARRY TICKNER There's not a loyal Viking who hasn't thanked the Lord for putting Larry, alias Dave, Tickner down on earth in Amundsen's districtg not a loyal Viking who hasn't cheered him over that goal line at least once. But don't get the idea that Larry's partial to the pigskin. He also finds time aplenty for Key Club, track, Spanish club, scholarship club. And, like many a football hero, he gets along with the beautiful girls -if they have a sense of humor, mix with his friends, like white bucks, and can carry a conversation Qhm-m-m-m! J. A few faces he'll always find haunting the ivy- ' covered walls in his memory are those of Jim Kazan,is, Mrs. Dolejs, and, of course, Mr. Gonzales, who once extended to Dave a formal invitation to join the human race. Many's the Viking who can take this sort of treatment in good form, but only a guy like Dave could take all the laurels he's won in stride. ANITA WINSTON A little ball of rhythm with plenty of bounce-that's Anita! She's one gal who's never off beat, always ready with a smile, and bubbling over with personality. Sounds good, eh fellas? Well, if you have brown eyes and a crew cut, you might stand a chance with this cute little 5'2 . But watch yourself-you might be in for a surprise. Anita's secret desire has always been to bid a date goodnight with a handshake! Surprises are common with Anita, whose deepest memories of A.H.S. include those happy times she's spent in the back of the classroom putting her eye brows on. Others could possibly, and very probably, be the fun she's had in girls' chorus, music festivals, drama, variety show, class committees, Spanish club, fashion shows, and civics classes under her favorite teacher, Mrs. Garriott. PERRY OLSON When he reads this his ears will turn red as a cherry, But it's hard to find someone to beat good ol' Perry! And that ain't hay! Backing it up are his 62 classmates, not to men- tion the friends he's made in the bowling league, variety show, drama, Key Club, Social committee, swim team, German club, and Intramurals. Of course, Perry has a few enemies, too. If you are one who begs, borrows or steals French fries from him in the lunchroom, beware! You're on the black list! ' Which brings to mind Perry's little black book, whose covers hide from prying Romeos the number-one telephone number in his life-that of 5'4 , brunette Vaughn Michaelson. mongers, this being elcction year, a campaign speech is perhaps appro- priate. If re-elected to the office of chief dirt digger, I promise to do my best to help all my fellow Amund- ites: 1. Pat Mau will be supplied with a megaphone so she can boast her exploits over a wider area. 2. A complete set of Elvis Pres- ley records will be provided for the senior girls to aid them in pick- ing up hillbilly accents. tDid that get your votes, Jeanie, Sonja and Joycetj 3. Such a gallant roof runner deserves aid, so Bonnie Oberle gets a new set of track shoes! 4. Geri Friclcey will get free blocking lessons from Coach Sahlin to help keep preying seniors away from her football hero. 5. A much needed copy of How to Win Friends and Influence Peo- ple will be supplied to Bill Ninne- -man. 6. To Perry and his Inga-baby goes a handy fire extinguisher to cool those burning faces. 7. The Beta dances are heartily enjoyed by Anite, Sandy and Karen so a season pass ought to get their votes. 8. Dale Wagner will receive a gold plated B-29 to add to her Kenlection. 9. Senior Hall campaigns are hectic so all future candidates will get a solid block of 100 votes. Maybe this would have prevented the frantic vote exchanging that went on in Fr1ml.v's car after Pat's poster party. 10. Another election promise: Jan T. will get a white wig and cane for the times she goes out for a Wally good evening with those older men. 11. Here's to the Tartans! A Sears catalog to keep your salesmen straight. 12. If Myra Colby opens her mouth a little wider she might swallow A.H.S. so let's donate a little scotch tape and prevent disaster. 13. Now a present for our peppyt ?J cheerleaders. Linda gets a pair of boxing gloves and knee pads so she won't look messy after a tough sfssion tllerish the thought!l and Lori receives a free set of cheering lessons, compliments of the Beta boys. . Well, there ar our thirteen lucky winners but just vote to retain the Pen and you all have a chance next time! MONOPOLIST: A guy who keeps an elbow on each arm of his thea- ter chair.
