Nor'easter November 27, 1958--News In Review

Here are highlights from the Nor'easter edition of November 27, 1958, just in case you had forgotten:

The DCT Club took up a project of creating a master landscaping plan for the school. Kenneth Sassaman was chairman of the group drawing up the plans.

College Day on Nov. 14 was successful, when students got to meet representatives from colleges and schools such as Duke University, University of Alabama, Antioch College, Florida State University, Southern Technical Institute, and University of Florida.

Marjorie Myers was shown in a photo on page 3, leading a meeting of Future Homemakers of America. The National Honor Society, headed by Jim Willson, announced plans to tap new members during second semester of the school year.

David Larson and Aloyse Larson were an item in the "Shootin' the Breeze" gossip column. Surprise! Surprise! They were going steady!

In another juicy item, Louis Ateek opened Karolyn Bagg's purse in the hallway, and a banana fell out.

At the Homecoming Dance, queen Sandy Creitz and escort Johnny Barker had a moment of frustration. During the Queen's Dance, balloons were supposed to tumble all over the place. But they didn't. So when the dance was over, Johnny came to the rescue and released the balloons with some human intervention.

Mickey Moustakas was profiled in a sports article, with the headline "Pint-Sized Pigskin Player Makes TDs with Ease; Has Been Active in Sports Since Grammar School." During that current football season, Mickey had racked up 13 points as a halfback. He told the reporter he planned to major in physical education at University of Florida or Florida State.

About Mickey: the "Pint-Sized Pigskin Player ...; Has Been Active in Sports Since Grammar School." He ...planned to major in physical education at University of Florida or Florida State.

Some of the rest of the story:
He ended up an attorney via FSU and UCLA and raised an athletic son. Michael was 2nd round Major League draft pick and signed with Kansas City.

I'll bet there's more and I hope we hear it in May.
