Behind the scenes during the magazine drive. School and community worked together on the In early March, Woodson students were introduced to the most highly organized, most intensive drive it WTW’s history, the Cavalier Light Brigade. Cavaliers combined their energies with local civic groups and businessmen in a concentrated effort to raise the $20,000 necessary to light the stadium. The drive was officiated by Mr. Wilbert Tucker Woodson, former superintendent of schools, after whom the school was named. Working closely with the SPTA and the Student Government, Mr. Woodson lent enormous enthusiasm and energy to the campaign. Each group represented in the Senate was given a quota, decided by the club s size. Each day presented new fund-raising projects, from a Varsity-Faculty game to a slave day to the old stand-by, the bake sale. One of the biggest selling points of the drive was the necessity of lights for the graduation exercises of Woodson’s first Senior Class. In addition, planners felt that if WTW were able to buy the superior fa¬ cilities aimed for, it could be used in future seasons as a municipal stadium. Look out, Chicken Little, the sky is falling. 30 Activities
