Dedicated to Parents nt the Class ot 'til ix TWO Wilson parents attend a school game. NE of the most important parts of any yearbook is, of course, the dedication. For the '61 Nova the dedicaf tion is of especial importance, as is the book itself, because both belong to and represent what is actually Wilson's first graduating class. For this reason We of the Nova Staff Wanted our '61 Nova W- and therefore, our '61 dedication - to be especially significant. We felt that the book should properly be dedicated to someone connected closely and in some special. man- ner With the Class of '61. We finally found a person - or, rather, a group of persons - who We believe fill excellently these requisites Which the unique position of our class has established. These people are our parents, the parents of the graduating class of 1961, and it is With respect and with a feeling of propriety that We dedicate our 1961 Wilson Nova to them. In seeking a suitable subject for our dedication, We found that it is our parents Who best represent the occasion which our yearbook signifies to us of the graduating class. For certainly no other single group can claim to have a closer relationship With the grad- uating seniors or a stronger influence upon them, their ideals, and their characters. By precept and example our parents have striven to give us moral and social values and to prepare us for this time and this occas- ion, for this transition from childhood to adulthood which graduation represents. The Nova Staff would like, therefore, in real appreciation and with the great- est of respect, to dedicate our 1961 Nova to the parents of the Woodrow Wilson Graduating Class of 1961.
