This year Highland Park has a new star: a straw-haired 16-year-old who is practically a one-man ball club. Play ing quarterback on offense, he has completed 56% of his passes; on the ground, he has gained 705 yds. in 102 carries. He is his team's top scorer, with 83 points.

Important though such decisions not to review are, the court will soon be doing the more demanding work of actually ruling on vital issues. In announcing which cases it will hear, it indicated the shape of the 1967-68 term. In one case, the court will consider whether the one-man, one-vote doctrine should be extended beyond the states to local governments. The nine Justices will also decide whether the Sixth Amendment guaranteeing a jury trial should include all state misdemeanor cases for the first time...
