In 1910, Waynesboro High School’s annual pictured two high school faculty members and six teachers of the grades. In 1952, many times that numbe r are engaged in administering the program of the High School. For the friendliness which has meant so much to us, and for the helpful interest and constructive guidance which were instrumental in aiding us to reach our goal, we are deeply appreciative to the members of the faculty and administration of Waynesboro High School.

Then , igio From the 1910 Scout we quote: “The Waynesboro High School was founded in the year of 1906. “It is now among the most flourishing schools in this district of Virginia. It is situated in the beautiful little town of Waynes¬ boro, and stands on that famous hill where the battle of ‘Waynes¬ boro’ was fought during the Civil war and overlooks the Blue Ridge at the foot of which flows the South River. “May the High School boys and girls ever remember the happy days spent at the W. H. S.—and may the High School live forever.” Now , J952

We can look back upon the past and view its backwardness with a sympathetic attitude, yet, had we lived in that era we would have thought ourselves very modern. Education has to do with enlightenment. All too often we spend our time in education pleasurably viewing the past with little concern of its value for the present and the future. We will have really progressed when we become keenly conscious ' of the past, the present, and the future in our learning experiences. In other words, we should still view our past accomplishments in order to skim the cream of ideas for our present and future guidance; then we should spend more time with present vital problems and make honest attempts toward planning for the future. No doubt, it is with keen interest and satisfaction that we examine the first Annual produced by Waynesboro High School. We think it picturesque and antiquated, yet, when the pupils of Waynesboro High School in the Class of 1992 review our super de luxe issue of 1952, they will exclaim, “Oh! No! It never could have been like that.” Those hairdo’s, those styles, and those activi¬ ties surely belong in a museum. So let’s not be too hilarious over the backwardness of the days gone by; but let us take the best from the past, com¬ bine it with our present efforts and needs in order to move more confidently into the future as time marches on.
