It is a largely affection of students for the whale that keeps them interested in her plight. They
sympathized with J.J’s orphan hood and her efforts to learn survival skill. When she was released,
the group felt bad for the whale’s disappointed handlers, who said J.J did not make
her typical sound of gratitude before swimming away. But they believe J.J will miss them after a while.

Principal Approves Longer Passing Periods
A major change has taken place at Main Street Middle School. The period between
each class is now five minutes longer. Principal Alans Ryes approved the longer passing periods.
Principal Reyes agreed that the students need extra time between the classes. With
a longer passing period, students will not have to leave class to go their lockers or the restrooms. The
longer passing period will go into effect on Monday, October 7. From now on, each class except
seventh period will be five minutes shorter, and the passing periods will be five minutes longer.
School will still be over at 3:00 P.M.
Most students are happy about the change, and they are already making plans.
Sixth grader Joanna Tran said, "The extra time will help me clear my head after one class and gear
up for the next.’’ One student disapproved of the new passing periods. "I like my classes. I don’t
want them to be five minutes shorter.’’
Most teachers will enjoy the extra time as much as the students will. " I am so
happy that instruction will not be interrupted by students leaving class to go to the restroom or their

THE NIXON-KENNEDY PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES
The rules of the match called for an eight-minute opening statement by Kennedy followed by eight minutes from
Nixon. Then a panel of four reporters would ask questions. Kennedy won.
He won on style and image – two key ingredients for success on TV. Nixon challenged and rebutted what Kennedy
said as if he were out to win debating points. He addressed Kennedy rather than the TV viewers.
On the other hand, as the celebrated chronicler of presidential campaigns Theodore H. White noted, Kennedy “was
addressing himself to the audience that was the nation.”
Kennedy came across as assured, energetic, dynamic. The camera was his friend. Nixon came across as uncomfortable
and ill at ease. Nixon lost on not what he said, but on how he appeared.
