FACULTY I hope that calm counsel and constructive leadership will provide the steadying influence and the time necessary for the coming of new and more practical forms of representative government throughout the world wherein privi- lege will occupy a lesser place and welfare a greaterf, Adult leadership is an essential part of the educational program in any high school. The students at Wilkinsburg High School are especial- ly proud of their fifty faculty members. They appreciate the patience and understanding with which their leaders conduct their classes, the time and effort they put forth as club and class sponsors, and most of all the friendly attitude they show toward the students at all times. In the halls, at student-faculty forums, dances, plays, music festivals and concerts, open house, football and basketball games, and other athletic events there is a friendliness which we hope will continue. Along with the treasured memories of high school and its activities the seniors will always remember with pride the faculty.
