...Placement courses approximate college-level work with varying success. Because of expenses of buying books (a public school does not require students to purchase their books), the Advanced Placement History section is confined too closely to a text for its readings. The English class, however, gives conscientious students a workout which matches that of lower level Harvard Humanities course. In 1955-56, one third of the year was spent on drama and the work centered around a theme once known to freshmen here as "Ideas of Good and Evil in Western Literature." During the winter, poetry, essays, and a series...
...Risk. Silky's only stubborn detractors are the early-morning dockers, the stopwatch specialists who have heard him come back from a workout wheezing like an equine asthmatic. Silky's outraged owners brush off such canards. They admit no more than that their horse is a "roarer," i.e., an animal who clears his ears, nose and throat with a sound like a bull alligator with his tail caught in a trap.

For Philadelphia fans it was enough that they would have a chance to see Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain in action. The Negro star, all 7 ft. 2 in. of him, is their boy. This was their first chance, since he left Philadelphia's Overbrook High three years ago to see what The Stilt might...
Chet Boulris, who received a hip bruise, and fullback Sam Halaby, with a pulled chest muscle, did not operate at full speed today, but will probably be ready for Saturday's game. Bob Foster, the first-string center, also took a light workout, but is nursing a pulled muscle. Second-string fullback Chris Hauge has an ankle sprain that may sideline him for a week...
