FAREWELL DR. RIECKEWALD With much sadness, Dr. Rieckewald will be leaving us at Wilson High to work in the district office. Al- though he was Principal for only two years, he also worked as Vocational Counselor, Head Counsel- or, Assistant Principal for over twenty years. His greatest work as Principal was to help start the planning of the stadi- um. With perseverance and dedication he set out a goal and helped to start the building of it. We will miss Dr. John Rieckewald and we wish him much luck at his next job and other future en- deavors. fc ▲ Dr. Rieckewald gives a speech during the ground breaking ceremony, pnoto by Kofi Broadnax ► Listening very attentively.
