Student-Faculty Cooperation Increases Farmer Activity Action at Warwick began the moment the students arrived on the school grounds. Before the bell rang, there were groups gathering in the cafeteria, Congress meetings in the boys’ gym, understanding teachers counseling students, and casual conversations in the halls. The atmosphere between students and faculty at Warwick was casual and informal; the students were more independent and at ease. For these rea- sons, the student life was exciting. Every student participated in the action . . . foot- ball games, giving rousing cheers of support . . . basketball games, quietly observing the sport of co- ordination . . . assemblies, patiently watching each activity . . . club meetings, contributing original, ideas. There was also action in classes, where every student was an individual; discussion was fun, and tests were challenging. Even after the 3:35 bell, the activities went on . . . clubs . . . cheering practice . . . band practice . . . play rehearsals and try-outs. These were the activities, trials and successes of a student body, proud to be “Fanners” and glad to be part of the exuberating, exciting action that is Warwick High School. 1 1

Faculty In Action Without its faculty Warwick High School could not have existed; it could not have been the institution of learning that it was. Teachers were criticized and overworked , but were the makers of the future. They prepared youth for tomorrow, which was a lengthy, time- consuming process. It was a job which entailed patience, understanding, discipline, and, perhaps most important, a “funny bone”. Because of these and their constant exposure to y outh, teachers thought young and were usually at the heart of the action. Through their sponsorship of clubs and com- mittees and their support for the team, the faculty was unified with the student body. 13
