ROBERT E. KEUSCHER, PRINCIPAL TO THE STUDENT BODY, Every effort has been made in the administration of Wilson High School to employ the principles ofthe great rnan for whom our school was named. No great leader in American history was more convinced of the necessity of a fine education for our citizenry than the former Princeton profes- sor who became president of our country. We have placed first and foremost among our objec- tives the provision of an excellent academic cur- riculum. We have worked hard to establish a demo- cratic student body government that is truly rep- resentative of all the students in our school. The student body constitution was written solely by students. The representative assembly and execu- tive board have considerable responsibility in the realm of student body activities. The school pub- lications are produced by students, for students without administrative censorship. Activities have been thrown open to all students on an open membership basis. Probably no school in Port- land has had wider participation on the part of pupils. And, above all, there has been a spirit of good will and friendliness among Wilson students and toward other schools that has made being a part of the ':Wilson Idean real fun. It is one thing to talk about Woodrow Wilsonis great principles. It is much more important to PRACTICE those principles. This I have tried to encourage as principal of Wilson High School. Sincerely, Robert E. Keuscher 18
