This was the year of many new and exciting ex-periences for Wilson High and its pupils. The stu-dents participated in various events throughout the
year; yet apathy still lingered in the hearts of many.
Attendance to school-related activities continued to decrease as did patronage to other events.

You've looked at the new;
You've gazed at the old;
With pictures and words
Our tale has been told.

the people behind the scenes
The S.C.A. is a special group of working people at Wilson. Their work provided us, the students, with a voice in what went on at school. Without
the Student Council, the school would be run entirely by teachers and administrators.
They also sponsored many valuable activities throughout the year. These activities included the Student Scholarship Fund, the United Fund Drive, as well as many projects during the Yuletide season consisting of the Mr. and Miss Christmas Seal, door and basket decorations, and the Christmas card mailbox.
They were also responsible for such activities as the Homecoming Festivities, The Blood Give In, and the Used Book Room. Also, they helped in the preparation of assemblies and menus.
They also sponsored a group of attractive young ladies known as the Junior Marshals. These girls attended all school related functions in the auditorium. This included hostesses to plays, graduation ceremonies, and orientation.
the staff puts it all together
As each month app-roached, another deadline came along with it - November 15, December 15, January 15, and February 15. The members of the staff worked arduously every day in order to meet these burdensome deadlines. The staff was re-latively small and inexp-erienced two returned from the previous year. In addition to selling yearbooks, key chains were also sold. The Table Top Football League (which began this year) was also supported by the yearbook staff.
We got very little support in any of our activities. One would think that out of a stu-dent body of 1700, AT LEAST 500 yearbooks could be sold, but no one would buy one. Members of the community would not patronize us either. So what is the sense of having ,I yearbook 7 Another
qrcat Wilson tradition may deteriorate because no one would support the yearbook.
