Mr. Ralph Plas Superintendent Speech FTA Advisor Senior Advisor Students Attain Know Mrs. Edythe Basham Principal Bookkeeping Business Mathematics Student Council Advisor mgr- Mrs. Allice Parsons taught English 9, 10 and French I and II for the first semester. Preparation, hard work, dedication, and thorough knowledge were the trademarks of these teachers. Lessons, lectures, and curriculum planning filled their days at Woonsocket High school. The success of the school depended largely upon the devotion of these teachers. These eleven teachers instructed one hundred fifty-two students who were enrolled at WHS during the 1967-1968 school term. This was a ratio of fourteen students to each teacher. Under their tutorship, w'e have learned the meaning of loyalty, the value of friendships, the glory of victory, and the dignity of defeat. They have prepared us to face the challenges of the future. We resolve that our future achievements shall add honor to their names. 28 Teachers relax at coffee time.
