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

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

Christmas spirit was exhibited through decorations and snow; Bill Orme has his doubts about the security of his job while climbing the walls of the school to put the candy canes in place. While Bill ' s task is one of nerve, Lauren Koskella and Anette Kretzschmar, at right, made use of their artistic talents to pre¬ pare the wreath. Members of the student government cabinet spent Saturday morning decorating the exterior of the school. Student Government Special Activities Chair¬ man, Bob Gattis, packs on a link of the WTW Express with the hope that one child will not be forgotten in the holiday hubbub of Christmas. Freshman shop classes spent innumerable hours in earnest preparation on their gift to the Christ¬ mas Drive. In conjunction with the Drive was the door decorating contest. First prize went to room 213 which was gloriously bedecked in the 12 Days of Christmas . 30 STUDENT LIFE
