A sense of pride, group or individual achieve¬ ment, enthusiasm, whatever defini¬ tion given spirit, even an apparition (witness the 4th floor or swimming pool rumors), it can be found at Woodson. Student’s pride in the school, a hokey name for a very real thing, was exhibited in the fall, at Christmas time, during Spring- In fact, all year. At Christmas time, food drives for the needy were held and decorations for the school put up. Even a disap¬ pointing football season didn’t get people down. They either said wait for basketball season, or, the guys really did their best. By not getting discouraged the different groups and individuals at WTW ac¬ complished alot. Groups such as basketball, tennis and other sports, It’s Academic team and the Math team all have achieved recognition and awards as a whole plus the per¬ sonal achievement that goes along with that. Turkey bowl, spirit chain and the new Freshman Drill team were a part of Class enthusium and spirit. Most of these were new ideas which went over well in all the classes and helped to bring them all together as a school.

will© i® W. T. Wood son A clock chimed the hour in the hall. Cars and trucks roared outside the window. A man in his eighties entered the room—a stately man living in a stately house on Chain Bridge Road, who loves to talk and reminisce with visitors. He is Wilbur Tucker Woodson, former Superintendent of Fair¬ fax County, and mentor of W.T. Woodson High School. In Mr. Woodson is seen the same spirit and driving force visible in the school itself: a sense of competition, involvement, awareness, and concern. His reminiscing took him back to days which influenced his adult ideas and viewpoints. He grew up in Albemarle County, west of Charlottsville in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The dining room in his house was renovated to make a room where he and three of his neighbors were taught by a private teacher. This arrangement lasted only through the earliest part of his schooling. When he reached 4th or 5th grade he walked two miles, lunch pail in hand, to a typical two-room schoolhouse. After high school, with two in his graduating class, Mr. Woodson attended William and Mary College. After his graduation from college, Mr. Woodson taught school, was involved in WW I and returned to become a principal of a school for a number of years, before coming to Fairfax County in 1925. The title of his job was Supervisor of schools but he describes himself as being “really Assistant Superintendent” to an older man close to retiring. The year 1929 saw his superior retire, and Mr. Woodson took over the post, which he was to hold until 1961.
