Morton Adopts Korean Orphan Having seen an article about the adoption of an orphan under the Fester Parents’ Plan, Roy B. Moore- head, social studies teacher, read the article to his economics classes. The following day a group of his students came to him with the idea of adopting an orphan for the school. Under the direction of Mr. Moorehead, enough money was collected from the student body and the sum was sent, to the organi¬ zation. Soon a complete history of Kim Chung Yung, Korean orphan, along with a recent picture, arrived. Kim Chung Yung is now living in a Korean orphan¬ age along with his younger brother. His father left the family when Kim was very young. His mother died shortly after this. Kim reached his fifth birth¬ day on February 15. The feeling of brotherhood lives in the actions of the students and faculty at Morton as they do their part in this gratifying undertaking. KIM CHUN YUNC, South Korean orphan, has been adopted by the Morton students under the auspices of the senior class. Roy B. Moorehead, social studies teach¬ er, has directed the class on its project. THE SENIOR DIRECTORS of the orphan pro¬ gram, Duane Hicks, Karen Clark, and Sharon Brown, proudly show the picture of the new¬ ly adopted orphan, Kim Chun Yung. 19

Will-Be’s Triumphant In Game THE CROWD OF SENIORS anxiously looks at a Has-Been player as he sets at the free throw line. The cheers are led by Marilyn Swalick, one of the senior cheerleaders. The gym was filling to its capacity as the Gpvernors took their places in the bleachers. The Will-Be’s secured the first basket as the game began. For the first time in the history of Morton the seniors were the underdogs. This was due to the fact that practically all the seniors had been eliminated from the team early in the season. The annual Has-Been—Will-Be game held much excitment for the faculty as well as for the students. The seniors or Has-Beens put on a surprising fight as the varsity team, coached by Coach DePeugh, fought to keep the score ahead. The participants played hard and fair as the minutes wore on. The final seconds of the game showed the teams to have terrific stamina, especially the Has-Beens, considering their lack of practice and experience. The game ended with the Will-Be’s ahead by a few points. THE BOYS JUMP HICH as the referee, Mr. Concialdi, throws the basket¬ ball into play. The team members look on with concern for the outcome of this play in the annual Has-Been, Will-Be Came. AT THE HALF the underclassmen presented a skit involving the representation of the players on both teams. Flo Klem and Jody Eichelb r- ger scream with joy as a Has-Been, represented by Bridget Cernevski, limps on the floor to play for the Has-Been team.
