Action Is Exhibited in All Facets of Qtudent Life Students received a well-rounded education at Warwick this year, from “Phys Ed ’ to history, from English to geometry, from speech to selling. Yet in each active day, the students thought of the one thing they all had in common — FUN! Eating was an im- portant facet of student life ... the senior lunch line . . . the table with friends . . . new chairs! Those cafeteria “specials” also caused pain to the many students who knew that “McDonalds” was within walking distance! But life went on at Warwick; and although classes had established times, no day was routine. There were pep rallies and assemblies, and with luck, a teachers’ meeting every month or so. There were class elections and meetings; the juniors prepared for the Prom and the seniors prepared for Graduation. Making the marks in Warwick’s history were the underclassmen, who united their respective classes through dances and other projects. Yet in the midst of these extra-curricular activities, there was knowl- edge to be learned — knowledge that was to last a lifetime. above: “. . . congratulating fellow players after winning a good game . . .” inside right: “. . . knowledge to be learned — knowledge to last a life- time . . .” outside right: “. . . who united their respective class through dances and other projects . . .” below: “. . . every student participated in the action . . . football games... giving rousing cheers of support . . .” outside left: . . and there were vibrant pep rallies and assemblies . . . no day was routine . . .”

Qfudents Actively Participate In Sports and Organizations There were many facets to student life at Warwick this year — understanding, cooperation, pride, hope. Their sum was school spirit and it encompassed all. Whether a student was on the field or in the stands, whether he was a club or class officer or a member, or whether he decorated for an activity or supported it by attending, he was part of the action. There was spirit in the classroom . . . discussions in which each student gave his individual ideas . . . lectures to satisfy the desire for knowledge . . . films that related the experiences of others. The students strove to learn; and at the year’s end, there were faces lit with knowledge — the students accepted the chal- lenge to learn with determination. But student life had other sides. Sports proved to be another outlet for school spirit, and it was enthusiasti- cally supported. The victorious football and basket- ball seasons were attributed to the overwhelming school pride . . . battle cries . . . coaching . . . deter- mination. All phases of student life at Warwick were attributed to the support and determination of the active members of the clubs, organizations, and sports. This was Warwick’s student life for 1967 . 8
