Principal's Message To the Senior class of 1972, The theme of this year's Mosaic revolves around music and harmony. I think that such a theme hits upon a very significant concept in society -the concept that human relation- ships rest upon the cooperation and good will of all people. It is only by positive attitudes and actions that any society can assure its people to happy and fruitful lives. We at Wingate High School have been mak- ing every effort to make beautiful music to- gether by practicing harmony. Any school is largely a training ground for students' future lives, and to the extent that your experiences at Wingate have equipped each of you for your future in a position manner, to the extent that you can count your high school years as suc- cessful ones. Members of the Class of 1972 have witnessed many significant events and have experienced many changes in their years at Wingate. The past four years have seen such chaotic and dis- ruptive events as: a long school strike, school confrontations, continued war and casualties in Viet Nam, killings at jackson State and Kent State Colleges,deepening urban decay, infla- tion, recession, and many other discouraging DF-R0beffL'5Chain developments. On the other hand, these past four years have also been years of hope, prog- ress, positive achievements. For the schools, there have been changes in the curriculum, many innovations fsuch as our own Wingate Prepb, more signicant participation in school policy-making and operation by students, parents, and the community leaders, and expansion of school activities. For our communities - Local, City, State, and Nation, there have been many evidences of progress. We, as a people, have become more in- volved in such matters as environmental control, health matters, anti-war activities, combatting ra- cial discrimination, greater political participation, and many other activities. You have truly lived these past years in times that were alive and exciting, and the future looks even more exciting. We, at Wingate High School have shared years of change and I hope that these years have helped pre- pare each of you for the many years you have ahead of you, years which I sincerely hope will be happy and fruitful ones for yourselves and for the nation. May I thank the members of the Class of 1972 for their contributions in this effort to improve our school community. May I also wish each of you the very best of luck and success in the years to come. Principal 5

Dedication The theme of this year's Mosaic is music and harmony. Our school has the unique and dubious distinction of being the only banjo-shaped institution of learning in the world. Down the straight halls and around the circular corridors, the music of life and a multiplicity of cultures fills the air and emphasizes the micro-cosmic nature of Wingate, a United Nations in its own right. And here, music is the universal language. The melody of education resounds through these halls. Our ad- ministrative staff are a symphony-making and learning rhythmic- pattern. The laughter, good humor, and friendly conversation make music to the educationally alert. FOR THE HARMONY THAT HAS EXISTED, WE DEDICATE MOSAIC. The Mosaic Staff
