Americans saw the beginning of a war on poverty and at the same time continuation of bitter fighting in Viet Nam. National polls, as well as VVilson's own mock election, chose Lyndon Johnson as the 36th President of the United States, and afterwards high school Repub- licans and Democrats turned reluctantly away from politics and back to homework. Throughout the teen-age world, the Beatles continued to attracts followers, while in the United States a new dance, The Jerk, found tremendous popularity. For many the year was filled only with a typical conglom- eration of wonder, excitement, and worry. Yet, for the class of '65, it held also the completion of one way of life and the promise of another.

Gretchen Glltner Girls' Representative 1 1, ' - -:- ,f' Toni Kolar Treasurer K ' John Faulk Boys' Representative Assumes Leadership of School Wilson's Class of '65 began its senior year with the same enthusiasm it had displayed previously in its Ram helmet sale and mock Republican and Democratic con- ventions. At the annual Howdy Week Assembly, seniors devised contests to show their superiority. After thus welcoming the sophomores, they made plans for the Senior Theme Dance, a Sadie Hawkins Tolo. Chief money-making proiect for the seniors was a class Christmas card sale. Although this event netted over 750 dollars, it failed to be as successful as hoped. Undaunted by this temporary setback in class spirit, the senior girls easily captured the powderpuff football championship, and the senior boys eagerly entered into Homecoming bonfire competition. A Senior Ball was held in the Crystall Ballroom in May and then a whirl of senior week activities ended the year. Some of the class of '65 will remember the tests and the homework - others the dances as well, but all will remember this year as an end and as a beginning. ,!T ly .X . 'll-.xxx 0 Q. N. I X I .. tvs!
