L-v-'ff EXONERATION Dr. Samuel Johnson used to ridicule David Garrick and find all manner of fault with him. He really loved him, however, and quickly came to his defense if anyone else dared to criticize him. That is the way we students feel about Wadsworth High School. We often act as if we don't like it. We call it names. We even refer to it sometimes as a prison and pretend that we would like to escape from it. We don't actually think of ourselves as prisoners, compelled to attend this school for six long years, but, since some of us have often jokingly referred to our school as a iail, we, the members of the annual staff, chose the prison theme for this year. We think it is striking and original. We are not making fun of our school, but there are many situations which make the comparison appropriate: the hall monitors, detention after school, the last mile before an English test, etc. The principal function of a prison is that of guiding the prisoner back to a nor- mal, worth-while life. Being seniors, we notice that those who race through the halls as seventh graders have become civilized by the time they are seniors. We are daily being guided from childhood to manhood for the purpose of assuming our life's task. An ancient prison was boresome, torturous, and hideous, but a modern school prison is fun, interesting, helpful, and educational. We have been taught by the mind, not by the sword, we have been guided. You will not take seriously what we do not mean seriously. You will accept our prison analogy as the result of an attempt to find a theme that is unique. We mean it to be humorous, but not satirical. Our real attitude toward our school is expressed on page 88. ALLAN AUTO PARTS
