Vibrant melodies, ranging from blues and ' jazz to present day bands as this one inspire the Woodson bands to bigger and better hits, captivated an audience of willing listeners. Music plays a goals, vital part in Woodson ' s assembly schedule. The experience of such Visiting students and performers broaden the scope of WTW The W. T. Woodson High School had the pleasure to open its doors to two foreign exchange students from two completely different cultures. They were Irene Ricci from Italy, and Trinh Quang Hanh from Vietnam. Their presence, made possible by the AFS Club and other fund-raising sources, promoted in¬ ternational understanding and goodwill in our coun¬ try. Irene and Hanh may have learned a more im¬ portant lesson—what others really think of us and WHY. This year Woodson was well represented over¬ seas. Kathy Smith, a WTW senior, spent this year in Torine, Italy—where her major courses of study were Latin, Greek, and Italian. Lauren Koskella and Carol Gilller, also seniors, plan to represent Wood- son and the United States abroad this summer. Humor and many gay melodies emerged from the mouths of these folk singers. From the Navy Band came three lively men who grabbed the admiration of all present at the assembly. ar ny| l kL a Ifj tgarir i ll K + v 1 F ni vBr 28 STUDENT LIFE

Dogpatch came to Woodson; Will you marry me? a young Daisie Mae pro¬ posed, flashing a doe-eyed look at her escort. Next to her, a fellow female conspirator was grabbing her choice by his curly locks and dragged him off to the preacher. No sooner had she touched him than Mammy Yokum sauntered up along side them and placed a firm hand on the girl ' s shoulder, Don ' t you think you ' re a bit young? After weeks of brewing cider and husking corn, the Dogpatch Clan (better known as the Junior Class), began the final commotion for an old tradi¬ tion of theirs—the Sadie Hawkins Dance. They pro¬ vided the harvest moon, mountain dew, and sce¬ nic countryside; couples supplied the fun. Through¬ out the evening, the New Delphonics bestowed the swinging beat to the grandest Dogpatch af¬ fair of the year. Lost in his world of microphones, electric guitars, and highheel boots, the lead singer of the New Delfonics expresses himself through music and motion. Much feeling is portrayed in his pose. Juniors’ Sadie Hawkins Dance TOP: Kathy Selph has time to pose while Nancy Ferris and other diligent workers try to complete Sadie Hawkins decora¬ tions before eight o ' clock. BOTTOM: Gary Moore registers surprise that a girl, Me¬ linda Rathburne, had actually shanghaied him, a free-easy¬ going boy, into getting married at such a tender age. STUDENT LIFE

Trinh Hahn is distracted by photographers as Irene Recci presents the flag of Italy to Mr. Phipps. Each year the presenta¬ tion takes place to bring the schools all over the world to a closer understanding and fellowship. At a later da,te Hanh presented the South Vietnamese flag and now the two fly side by side with the American, state, and school flags. Uniforms, from colonial tri- cornered hats to our boys in blue, line the stage with the progression of the American flag. Sparkling brass and rum¬ bling drums started feet tap¬ ping throughout the audi¬ torium. Again the Marine Band promotes the armed services. STUDENT LIFE 29
