SKYLINE, Volume 16. tells it like it was at Waynesboro High School in Waynesboro, Virginia in 1969-70, and it was pretty much like it had always been, with General Lee peering confederately at passers-by and the daily trudge through dreary halls and Mrs. Carter’s Christmas tree and Mr. Kiger’s jeep. Yet ’69-’70 held a few surprises like Uncle Sam’s lucky number lottery or black armbands versus red, white and blue. The moon isn’t green cheese after all (though your cheeseburger probably is), and a new decade dawned between the Wilson game and SKYLINE ’70 sees WHS as a mosaic, a modern, moving, 3-dimensional mosaic subject to the particular time and place and people; a mad conglomerate of good and bad and right and wrong and rational and irrational; a careless composite of big kids and little kids and black kids and white kids and smart kids and some not-so-smart, a mosaic en-masse. SKYLINE, too, is a mosaic from every double-page to each major division (which are incidentally, A Mosaic of Minds, page 20; A Muscle Mosaic, page 58; Meetings in Mosaic, page 78; A Mosaic of Mug-shots, page 112), but the book has one distinction, for SKYLINE represents student time and student talents without even a sponsor to supervise, suggest or baby-sit, and a second distinction, too: the kids did it. Obviously.

Waynesboro, Virginia is a relatively small, relatively Southern community where giant pumpkins rate the front page and the dogcatcher sometimes directs traffic. The gentle Blue Ridge hovers nearby and every slope or summit o or strip-mine is someone ' s private sanctuary (20,000 townspeople merely share their mountains with the National Park Service); but jeans and geography do not Appalachia make, for industry came to Waynesboro and introduced people from New York or the Netherlands, and ideas from someplace besides Fishburne’s Corner. Granted, the concert series doesn ' t draw crowds like the Eastside Speedway, and weekends offer little more than a new movie, but then there ' s always Calf Mountain. Waynesboro High School is that • public melting pot where 850 representatives of 850 cultures learn how to make it in the outside world. Yet all of the outside exists within, o merely in different proportions. There is more youth (with more optimism and more energy), and less experience (the standard of age). There is more action and less direction. There is more holding hands and making out and going steady and less marriage. There is more discovery and delight and ranting and raving and tragedy and tears and more pure unadulterated laughter, merely because living is all so new. o
