In the light of Watergate and several local problems, W HS Seniors formed fictitious “clubs”. These “clubs” such as the FPA (Future Presidential Aids) were designed to expose the ideas of WHS Seniors on certain subjects. The upper left picture shows FPA members practicing their wire tapping. The upper right shows the Crust Crimpers experimenting with paper. The middle right pictures the American Book Binders attempting to continue the use of outdated and worn books at WHS. n
