We Honor Mr. and Mrs. Padgett are a big addition to the cheering section at W.H.S. basketball games. In 1959, Mr. Padgett’s first year of teaching at Waynesboro High School, many of this year’s Senior Class were impressed with his new, refreshing manner of teaching in freshman English class¬ es. Since then our admiration for Mr. Padgett has grown, especially because he has worked closely with us for the last two years as our class sponsor. He has also sponsored the Student Waynesboro Education Association for four years and last year served as State F.T.A. Advisor. Mr. Padgett has many friends among the students and is a familiar figure at W.H.S. athletic events. He is re¬ spected by his fellow teachers as is evidenced by his election this year to the office of Secretary of the Virginia Association of Teachers of English. It is with great pleasure that we, the Senior Class, dedicate the 1963 Skyline to Mr. Roger E. Padgett. 3

Waynesboro High School leads an active life at night with night school, meetings, athletic contests, social events, community activities, concerts, plays and rehearsals. Foreword The Skyline’s purpose is to present the many facets of life at Waynes¬ boro High School in a unified form. It tries to show each event in the school year in its own individual light, yet also to show the prevailing atmosphere at the high school. The Skyline attempts to show how a school can encompass so many varying attitudes—how there is a gay, light, fun-loving air along with a serious academic effort, how there can be fierce school patriotism and yet a friendly, open attitude toward strangers. It tries to point out the many different aspects of school life that combine to make up the spirit of Waynesboro High School. Yet the Skyline also strives to be a catalogue of accurate information. It tries to include all the personnel involved with the school, to provide com¬ plete coverage of the year’s events, to picture the academic, social, and athletic life of the students, and to serve as a reference and guide for future years. 2

Mr. J. L. Johnson Principal Mr. Johnson’s morning announcements over the public address system have be¬ come a daily ritual. As one student put it, “Mr. Johnson is the perfect principal. 1 wouldn’t trade him for anyone.” This is the prevailing attitude among the students at Waynesboro High School, and it is well-founded. In Mr. Johnson’s nine years as principal, he has attained a reputation for honesty, capability, and co-operation. He sees to it that Waynesboro High School functions smoothly and efficiently, and that each stu¬ dent develops to the best of his ability. Mr. Johnson’s friendliness and sense of hu¬ mor win him the good will as well as the respect of the student body. Mr. Johnson will always have our best wishes and our thanks for the excellent education we have received. 4
