As the major component of any high school, the student body has a large part in determining the efficiency of the school. At Waynes¬ boro High School the students continually demonstrate their willing¬ ness to learn and to participate in school-sponsored activities. Attending school mainly for the academic challenge, the pupils also benefit from the social and athletic activities of the school. Each of the five classes with a president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer outlines its yearly activities, which are approved by Mr. Johnson and the class sponsors: Mr. Callison, Mr. Blosser, Mr. Powell, Mr. O’Brien, and Mr. Padgett. The Junior and Senior Com¬ mittees, composed of elected members, assist the Junior and Senior class officers in organizing fund-ra ising projects, including bake sales, bottle drives, variety shows, and plays. The 1961 Skyline here presents the the students of Waynesboro High School. The students enjoy varied assembly programs each month. Mr. Edward Dinwiddie gives a talk, dlustrated with slides on one of Waynesboro’s industries. 15

Looking back on the distinctions of their class, the Seniors can cite that they were the first class to start the accelerated-class program, the first class to do without the Senior trip, the first class to introduce the idea of giving a schola r¬ ship to a deserving Senior, and the only Waynesboro High School class to graduate in 1961! Many events have climaxed their trip through high school: the ex¬ citement of the arrival of the Junior rings, the pride with which they presented the Junior Variety Show and Junior-Senior Prom, and the anticipation of the Final Dance which ended four years of high school. Now as graduates with the long-awaited diplomas in their hands, the Senior Class can be thankful for the good education and the background their teachers and friends have given them.
