"The America –vs- North Vietnam Game At Vietnam

Here’s the latest on the fast moving attempt to free prisoners in North Vietnam. On the night of the 24th, the Americans decided to knock the socks off the N.V.C.’s . They tried to fake them out of their shoes as they threw a ‘long-bomb’ into Hanoi territory on the 30th meridian. ‘The bomb’ was intercepted by N.V.C. linebackers, thus moving suspicion away from those swift South Vietnamese backs and American guards. They infiltrated in the N.V.C. 20th meridian. But then as the Americans tried a "double reverse free the P.O.W.’s play" they were nailed by a holding penalty. It was really bad news, but the Americans would not have gained anyway because the N.V.C.’s on a screen play moved the American POW’s to a different training camp. It was a sad defeat for the Americans as they had a great season going with only 58 injuries to the N.V.C.’s 982. The Americans are demanding a rematch. Promotion consideration was courtesy of the United States. This article may have been a joke, BUT prisoners of war are not. Think of it during the New Year – 1971!

"Woman’s Liberation"

Fifty years ago women won the "right to vote" with the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment which states that the right of citizens of the United States to vote will not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any states on account of sex. Fifty years ago this may have pleased and satisfied the Women of Suffragettes and others. Today, however, the "Women’s Liberation Movement" wants more than just the right to vote. Like many minority groups, this majority group—there are only 97 men to every 100 women in the U.S.A.—is still shouting cries of discrimination. The Movement demands are greater, their actions stronger and their accusations sharper than those made a half a century ago, even though in their day the women’s rights be very militant, they would only have to gaze on someone like Kate Millet in action and they would cringe with male-imposed lady-like delicacy.

Here is a pro-liberationist’s opinions:-

"We are treated like inferior beings. It is high time we took what we rightfully deserve and I don’t mean dirty dishes. Did you know that a woman gets paid less for doing the same work as a man? Think about it."

Here is an anti-liberationist’s opinion:-

"Women were made to have children and take care of the home. Most want to do so. It is very disturbing to sea few women who aren’t normal anyway make such a fuss over nothing. Would they like to fight in wars?? If they were forced to work, I’m sure they’d complain about that. Men are men and women are women, and they are, after all, different."

"Pollution Sollution"

If 128 people can be put in and on a Volkswagen think how many would fit in and on a Cadillac – then if everyone "shared" in getting to work how that would cut down on carbon monoxide!

"Can You See It or Jose Can you See?"
(The column for people who know how to eat)

This item is dedicated to the people who don’t care about calories but appreciate the taste and odor of our creations. We are giving YOU the opportunity to share our taste.

Our first CrEaTiOn that WE will present to YOU is our world famous…

"SALAMI-CHEESE-HOT DOG" (without tail)

  1. First boil a hot-dog for approx. three minutes.
  2. Then slice the dog down the middle being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Place a wedge of mild or sharp cheddar cheese in the slit.
  4. Wrap three slices of top-grade hard salami around the hot-dog and cheese. (Wooden toothpicks help to hold the whole thing together)
  5. Place the meats and cheese in a regular hot-dog roll.
  6. Put concoction into preheated 250 degree oven for five minutes.
  7. Take out of oven. Put your mouth into real gourmet food that Bob and Jim have created just for YOU.
Could milk or Draft Root Beer would go so well with this sandwich. On the side—potato chips and a Kosher Pickle.

"Willis Reed alias Father Knickerbocker"

Willis Reed of the Knicks is probably the best basketball center alive. He was voted the "Most Valuable Player" at the end of last year’s season. He fired the Knicks to a fantastic season and a world championship game.

Willis went to Grambling College where he started at center and was very effective. He was voted the best sports caster there too.

His first year with the Knicks found him playing center, but he began the year at forward. He didn’t feel comfortable at forward. Red Holsman, the coach and General manager made the trade that brought Dave Debussierre to the Knicks for Bellemy and Komives. The following year they won the championship with the great Willis Reed leading the way. In the next to the last game of the "play-offs" Reed was hurt and the Knicks lost. The series was tied at three. The seventh game would decide it. Doctors gave Willis all kinds of shots to ease the pain in his leg but the shots didn’t work. THAT didn’t stop Willis! He played! And – well, we all know what happened.

"Sports" – "The Local Scene"

The weather matched the feelings of the Ho-Ho-Kus P.S. basketball team as they exited Old Tappan’s DeWolf School. They had lost the first game of the new season.

The outlook was bright in the first few moments of the game. We stole the ball in the seconds following the jusm, but to no avail. Ho-Ho-Kus missed the shot which was rebounded by the six-foot plus center of Old Tappan. The Warriors were hesitant to shoot. And when they did shoot, they couldn’t hit. The first quarter score was 12-6 Tappan ahead. The second quarter was much the same as the first. We scored six while Tappan racked up sixteen. Now it was 28-12.

The last half didn’t show any improvement for HHK. There was still a lack of shooting and even more important, a lack of hitting. The two giants of Old Tappan fouled out in the last quarter but we still couldn’t catch up. Final score was 43-29.

Rick Kelley, with 14 points, led the Indian attack with Mitch Bogdanffy with 6 points. Dave Jones 3 points FudddddKelley, Steve Randolph and Chip Wry all with 2 points. Greg Tomberlin collected one point.

You probably know about our fantastic soccer team and its 10-0-1 record. We hope that the basketball team follows suit.

Beat the Faculty!! AND WE DID!

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS

The Student Council Thanksgiving Project was a great success. With the help of everyone in the school, 26 baskets of food and $40.75 was collected from the various classrooms. The Council then donated $50 from the treasury to make the total cash donated 90.75, more than enough to cover the cost of turkeys for 26 families in need. We thank all that helped!

The Council is now working on our "Betty Crocker" project and we remind all of you to do your part in collecting "Betty Crocker" labels for that all important kidney machine.

As we have done for the last fifteen years, the Student Council provides a "Christmas Tree and Gifts" for two needy families. This year the two families were made up of eleven members. Each council member was issued a check for $10 with which they shop for gifts for a particular member of a family. Gifts were wrapped loaded into Mr. C’s Volkswagen and delivered to Social Service in Ridgewood. (Two parents and two teachers provided "extra gifts" out of their own pockets, so to speak.)

Social Services always comments on what a fine job our Council does! We like this kind of reputation.

Rick Lill, President.

"Music"

If you listen to FM radio, you probably know about Grand Funk’s Live Album. It’s a double album that also contains a poster. Mark Farner, GF Railroad lead guitarist, proves that he is one of the nation’s best.

For all the Beatle fans, John Lennon has a new ne our called "John Lennon by the Plastic Ono Band." His fellow former Beatle also has a record out- "All Things Must Pass," contains the hit "My Sweet Lord." George Harrison.

"Montain" soon will release a new album. The same is expected by "The Who." The Who’s latest album made the top ten early this year. N.Y. Times says "Live-at-Leeds" is the greatest live album ever recorded—I agree!

For all the AM Teeny-boppers, The Partridge Family with the smash WABC hit "I Think I Love You." I’m sure that Bobby Sherman has a new hit out-doesn’t he always. Tommy Roe has a "greatest hits album" out that contains the colden hit, "Dizzy" and I believe that the group "Bread" has something for us to eat.

"The Worst of Jefferson Airplane" is their greatest hit album containing the former hits "White Rabbit," "Somebody to Love," and many more.

If you follow "Led Zepplin" you know about their new album, "Led Zepplin II!" It is the worst ever done by that group.
