hrmtghout the school ear. In the capacity of cafeteria manager, Mrs. Tomlinson prepared many appetizing meals. I Four custodians on our staff in ' 66-61 were John Stanfield, Annie Browning, William Walker and Louise Jefferies. Rendering invaluable service throughout the year the custodians named were always willing to lend a helping hand. Our apprecia¬ tion for their work and courtesies was shown to them by student participation in the Christmas Cheer Campaign. Working also for the betterment of our school was Sam Yarbrough. Under his lead¬ ership as facilities maintenance head, the school was kept constantly at a high standard. Another important figure was that of our cafeteria manager Mrs. Tomlinson. It was due to the coordination of efforts of the staff under her that many fine meals were enjoyed by WHS students and faculty. Sam Yarbrough adjusted speaker for an assembly program. 25

After these basic principles had been mastered, students proceeded to a study of compo- ition, research papers and oral reports. The study of English carried us through the pages of American literature as juniors, and further inspired our development in the realm of literature. English IV broadened our knowledge of English literature, while advanced courses provided enrichment programs for superior students. 27
