Walter Johnson High School - Windup Yearbook (Bethesda, MD)

Page 102 text:

The Warm-Up Walking into a new high school, particu- larly one as large as Walter Johnson, can bring doubts to even the most poised. One of the most immediately useful features of the Warm-Up, a guide to the perplexed published by the Student Council Association, is a three-page diagram of the school which serves as a needle-less compass directing the new students to their classes. Besides providing them with a digest of activities, regulations and school philosophy, the Warm-Up contains a foreword by the principal, a tribute to the Big Train, Walter Perry Johnson, for whom the school is named, and a welcome from the president of the SCA. Compiled by the Welfare Committee, whose chairman automatically serves as editor, the booklet had as editor last year Susie All- stetter. Anne Emery was the editor this year. Creative Writing Club lf you enjoy writing above and beyond homeworking assignments, you are especially welcome to join the Creative Writing Club. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Jean Phifer, these club members met to discuss their own prose and poetry. Each author reads his cre- ation and Jeff Glaser, president, led a discus- sion and criticism on the piece. Randy Fetzer, the vice-president, and Nancy Reilly, secre- tary, helped provide interesting points for dis- cussion. The purpose of these informal ses- sions was to enrich the writing style of the members and to give them the opportunity to share their writing with others. The club has been growing, and next year looks forward to furthering their club interests.

Wittman, has the monumental task of planning, designing, and assembling the yearbook. Editor Dave Thomas, with his assistant Kay Ransdell, coordinated the various departments such as layout, copy, photography, and art work into a smoothly functioning whole. Working directly under him was Associate Editor Barbara Abraham, who, with her two assistants Grace Wassmer and Anne Middle- ton, was in charge of all copy in the Windup. Her primary job was to post assignments for her staff of fourteen reporters, copyread and rewrite their articles, and get them ready for final publication. Before she could even start this job, how- ever, the groundwork had to be laid by Jim Ritchie, managing editor, and his assistants Gail Yano and Anne Emery. Starting late last year, they began work designing the layout of the yearbook, One of the most important parts of a good yearbook is its pictures. Brad Welfare, as pho- tography editor, and John Mittendorf, who helped him, took care of getting snapshots of all important school events and activities, while the art editor, Marilyn Palik, with her three assistants, did all the illustrations, Last but not least were the indispensable editorial secretaries, Kathy Jenks and Vicki Pollack, who willingly worked long hours to type the material for the yearbook. For many of these students who planned to enter some phase of journalism, valuable practice and experience working under a deadline was gained by serv- ing on the Windup editorial staff.

Set up in i957 under the sponsorship of Mrs. Evelyn D. Wittman, the club aims to improve writing techniques and to further an interest in journalism among students, espec- ially those not enrolled in the journalism course. A field trip to the Washington Post and Times Herald was arranged so that the mem- bers could observe how a city newspaper is produced and to see for themselves that jour- nalism is not only glitter. The club is fun, however, and mixed with taking notes and tolksby journalists was the fete the club held for Quill and Scroll members. Officers this past year were Jim Lindner, president, Carol Smith, vice-president, Leslie Henderson, secretary, Tempe Brownell, treas- urer, and Jack Holzberg, sergeant-at-arms. Chemistry ,Club Even though the Chemistry Club is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors with different levels of experience and ability, a common bond unites them all-their interest in science. The club, sponsored by Mrs. ldella von Loetzen, gave eachistudent a chance to advance beyond the c5lassroom's limitations and to increase his knowledge in the complex field of chemistry. Meetings were -presided over by Scott Campbell, club president. Other officers were Fred Oeltjen and Carol Congress, vice-presi- dent and secretary, respectively.
