Waynesboro High School - Skyline Yearbook (Waynesboro, VA)

Page 5 text:

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.
