MR. W. T. WOODSON Mr. Wilbert Tucker Woodson has deserved to have his memory preserved by one of Fairfax County’s most modern schools. Mr. Woodson’s entire career has been dedicated to the betterment of educational facilities. He came to Fairfax County from Fork Union Military where he served as dean until 1925. In Fairfax, he be¬ gan his career as a Clerk of the School Board, and for four years served as Supervisor of Schools. In 1929, Mr. Woodson was appointed Superintendent of Schools in Fairfax County. During the thirty-three years he held this position, he watched the Fairfax County School System grow from a small scattered array of country schools to the largest system in the state of Virginia. As the county grew, so did the educational facilities. Under Mr. Woodson’s supervision the teaching staff grew from one hundred sixty-four to one thousand five hundred thirty-nine well-qualified teachers. Material improvements in the school system were not the only achievements of Mr. Woodson. His influence pene¬ trated deeper than that. Mr. Woodson believed in the basic fundamental subjects for each child; however, he also insisted that each child was an individual, thus introducing a more personal type of education. 3

FOREWORD In this first year of school at The W. T. Woodson High School, we have watched the cold, echoing halls fill with the sounds of hap¬ py laughter. As the empty, waiting classrooms have gradually be¬ come an integral part of our daily routine, the feeling of pride in the newness of our school has turned into the expanding spirit which has permeated each of our activities. We have seen the student body participating in the concentrated effort to produce the out¬ standing record of which we are justly proud. But most important, we have seen a group of unfamiliar students and teachers welded to¬ gether to form a school body which has vied for top honors in all fields. The name Cavalier was chosen in relation to the position of the Cavaliers in Virginia history and the student body’s symbolization of the loyalty, honor, and support of the school. This yearbook rep- lesents the progress and achievement we have obtained in the past year. The Cavalier holds the story of our school. 2
