Come One, Come All! The SCA Fair on an October Saturday was fun. SCA Fair Nets Funds for Foreign Student Wilson’s student body representatives have been on the ball this year. With his trusty crew backing him, President John Davis has performed like a pro leading his team in victorious action. One of the first moves of the SCA was to involve the entire school in a first school fair. The proceeds from the project are to be used to finance a foreign exchange student at Wilson. Legislation passed by Wilson’s student congress in- cluded the adoption of the monitoring system initiated in 1967-68. This “bill” and others have become part of the activities of Wilson. SCA objectives for 1968-69 included AFS School Fair; better student-teacher relations; formation of a Varsity Club; formation of a new Pep Club; better SCA elections; better club-SCA relations through the Inter-Club Council; better citizenship in the student body; better rela- tions between the SCA and the surrounding community; better distribution of school activities among clubs and classes. A Student Cooperative Association makes a school. Wilson’s SCA have made a name for WMHS through their many efforts. In the Junior Booth at the SCA Fair, Mr. Hill patiently awaits his inevitable ducking as the class of ’70 raked in the most dough for SCA. SCA officers under the able leadership of John Davis and Miss Johnson continue to strive for Wilson to make itself known among other schools. Brenda Allen, Dist.

Working SCA Is Vital Organ in School Life The involvement of the entire student body in projects and school functions generated a great deal of interest and energy which kept the SCA running actively all year. Representatives from each homeroom helped in keeping this vital organ in top form. New ideas in which different aspects of student life would benefit were suggested and carried out. The organi- zation of the Varsity ““W” Club and the Pep Club were two undertakings. Two money raising projects for the foreign exchange student fund were the selling of booster buttons and the Sweetheart Dance. A clean up ca mpaign was conducted to 38 discourage vandalism and encourage school pride. Several assemblies were held for student orientation, Christmas, for- eign exchange students, flag presentation and elections. Repre- sentatives from the feeder elementary schools observed the SCA meetings and delegates from the council attended a forum in Richmond and a district meeting in Waynesboro. The making of a student handbook, the lost and found, the monitor system, and the renovation of the social center were the other projects of the SCA. Its primary aim was to help both faculty and students alike. Improved relations between the clubs, clas- ses, and SCA evolved through the establish- ment of the Interclub Council. The presi- dents of each organization were able to discuss problems, needs, and improvements with the SCA officers. They worked dili- - gently to represent their clubs or class at the Fair. Each club was responsible for sup- plying monitors each month. SCA undertook as a school project the reno- vation of the Social Center. Each class was assigned a designated area to paint or repair. The seniors painted the outside psychedelic, and the underclassmen were in charge of decorating the inside. The students met on Saturdays to paint and clean the grounds. Music was brought back to the Social Center and students could dance before school and during lunch periods. SCA Elections for Officers of 1968-69.

Mary E. Varner reads her prose selection to Mrs. Spitzer and others. 42 Students in our Society were faced with the demands of a society which placed great emphasis on mass communication. A proficiency in oral skills became increasingly important. It was the purpose of the Forensics Club to develop these skills, those which enabled students to express themselves more effectively in school and later in their chosen vocations. The Club program consisted of Debate, Public Speaking, Drama, Spelling, Girls’ Prose and Poetry, and Boys’ Prose and Poetry. Meets were held with the other county high schools. Winners of these meets participated on a District level, in time on a State level. Wilson did not win any of the meets, but she was well represented among the list of individual winners. The One Act Play, “The Jealous Husband”, received a superior rating in both District and State presentations. First place winners in meets were Jean Wisely, Girls’ Poetry; Beverly Harold, Girls’ Prose; Steve Sparks, Boys’ Prose; Karen Puffenberger, Spelling. JV winners were Joan Daughtry, Girls’ Poetry, Louise Younger, Spelling; Doug Guynn, Boys’ Poetry; Debbie Knebel, Girls’ Prose. The one JV meet was held at BMI.

Therefore, the main purpose of the Safety Club is to maintain high driving standards of safety and reliability. It is concerned with all facets of driving, especially student-driver relations. 45 Keyettes Make Their Anything Missing?

Sherry Spalding, Melinda Hodge, and Marian Weems busily work to help Migrant Workers. 46 2nd Year At Wilson A Smashing Success The goal the Keyette Club strove to attain was serving its school and community to encourage better relations between the two. Keyette members got an insight into service in its school-oriented programs. The club gave the girls the oppor- tunity to learn to work together and to become leaders. The club, sponsored by the Waynesboro Junior Women’s Club, had as its main project collecting “kits” for migrant workers. Other projects included making and selling of Victory Links, being teacher’s aids after school, sponsoring the Homecoming Dance, along with the Majorettes and Key Club, having a banquet and a Valentine Party at V.S.D.B.

The Future Homemakers of America worked this past year for the fulfillment and perfection of their eight purposes. These purposes pertained to the complete harmony of home and community life. They strived to promote a growing apprecia- tion of the joys and satisfaction of homemaking. Their activities included the bake sale, Parent-Daughter “Chop”, the Christmas tea, hat sale, F.F.A. Banquet, and fashion show. The activities emphasized the encouragement of community life and group recreation. The chapter also supported their motto “Toward New Horizons” by their participation in not only the chapter but also in the federation and state.

It is the only book that captures school life and preserves it for all to see. It is a historical record of school for one year, but at the same time is more than just a history book that captures names and faces. It is an interpretation of these names and faces into a story of the year... the happiness, sadness, seriousness of people and school life. ““A picture is worth a thousand words.” Pictures, like music, reach everyone and affect everyone. Pictures set an instant mood and communi- cation far more readily than words can do. ® 232 Units, You’ve Got to Be Kidding! Susan Tabor and Sandy They Wouldn’t Dare Put That In the Annual!

The members participated in worthy projects for the improvement of all phases of agriculture. The members were instructed in the development of individual farming programs and the establishment in farming. They were encouraged not only in the agricultural facet but also in the scholas- tic activities of FFA. They sponsored the “Greased Pig Contest” for the SCA Fair. They worked for the skill and knowledge which produces outstanding agriculturists. Their confidence was strengthened by their motto, Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve. In addition to this, they had fun learning.

The first of these activities was the Christmas Concert, consisting of many beautiful pieces, both spiritual and secular. In January ten students were selected to represent Wilson in the Regional Chorus. The Advanced Choir and the Singing Sergeants sang at District Festival, where they received a rating of excellent. The Singing Sergeants gave performances throughout the year for various clubs, churches, and organizations.

Whether the courses concerned biology, physics, or chemistry, each student was thrilled with hopes of making a discovery. Everyone had a chance to explore the dark paths of the universe and its creations by gazing into the microscope at various varieties of bacteria. The students could not believe that such a tiny creature could do so many things. It was impossible for a student to lose interest in a class. He was given an opportunity to put his mind to work. Classes afforded students the medium to question, seek and relate. To ogy, Varsity Football and Track Coach entice the students to be curious was the main objective. Science students engage in a wide assortment of activities from dissecting a frog to making reports on a chosen topic. After studying the basics, the students put this knowledge to work by entering the Science Fair. Students received awards for outstanding work. The goal of the science department this year was to enhance the interest and curiosity of the students in this fascinating field. The knowledge obtained will be put to use throughout their lives in whatever they do. The curious active minds of many students were busy. ’ 7 ‘ ej - 4 t Pe = Curious chemistry students try desperately to learn how to make H2 added to So4 equal H2S04.

Distributive Education, offered in all states, identifies a program of instruction in marketing, merchandising, and management. Mr. Roy M. Kelly, Jr. Lenoir Rhyne College, B.A., Appalachian State Teachers Col- lege, M.A., VPI, RPI, Distributive Education, DECA Sponsor The cooperative Distributive Education program derived its name from the cooperative working arrangement between the school and distributive businesses of the community. The student received classroom instruction and work experience and training with businessmen. The primary objective was to prepare students for full-time employment in the field of distribution. The courses also served as a background for college work in business administration, marketing, advertising, consumer education, and related fields. The program consisted of three levels, DE I, II, and II]. DE I was an elective, one-credit course, with no regularly scheduled on-the-job training. The following areas were studied: personnel, selling, sales promotion, and merchandising. How Can I Better Make A Sale? DE III is a more advanced course. Students accept greater responsibility. 101 Business Courses Benefit Interested Students Miss Doris E.

Vocational Agriculture Classes offered the students a wide variety of training in the agricultural sciences, agricultural mechanics, natural resourse conservation, and leader- ship. Through a study of different phases of science and farm management, students be- came better acquainted with the work in agriculture. Instruction in agricultural me- chanics developed mechanical skills for future use. The students learned the mainte- nance and operation of gasoline engines. They explored the fields of forestry and conservation. They studied the various oc- cupations in agricultural production. Leader- ship training was given each student, and the FFA organization offered them an oppor- tunity to practice the proper procedures. The knowledge of agricultural science, the mechanical skills and leadership training acquired in vocational agriculture classes were used by students as aids in the prepa- ration for non-agricultural related careers as well as related.

Newton Richmond Professional Institute, B.F.A., Longwood College, East Tennessee, State University, Art Clay Hamilton and Gail Lloyd busily paint an abstract picture during one of their classes. Creativity was essential to the cultural enrichment of students in the Art Department as they learned to express themselves on paper, canvas, or with clay. The ultimate goal was to instill a greater appreciation of self-expression. The courses were designed not only for the artistically inclined but also for those who enjoyed art as a hobby. Art became an outlet for the many students working closely with Mr. Newton. Seniors had their prized works on exhibit. Robbin Hicklin, Mary Goodwin, and Billy Sweeney examine clay. L Phil Crickenberger, Bruce Coursey, and Danny Pleasants learn to draw. 107 Wilson’s Practical Nursing is Unique in State Mrs. Hildebrand demonstrates with Mrs. Chase how to move a patient in the bed without strain. The hard classroom work that is absolutely necessary in Nursing is made easier by Mrs. H.’s interest. 108 The Practical Nursing Course, co-ordi- nated with the Kings Daughters Hospital in Staunton, consisted of Pre-Clinical and Clinical instruction. The Pre-Clinical instruction was given at Wilson Memo- rial for all of the county high schools. This consisted of supervised practice and related instruction in medical, sur- gical, pediatric, and obstetric nursing. When the student completed this satis- factorily, she received her student cap. The Clinical training, given at the hos- pital, when completed satisfactorily, entitled the student to the diploma and pin. The State Board of Nurse Exam- iners’, given after graduation, deter- mined whether they became an LPN. =: Mrs. Gloria G.

Both are first year Machine Shop students. The Technical School offered training for many who did not go to college. During the course of their high school program, these students received special instruction in a program that prepared them for the world of work that lies beyond high school. Valley Vocational Technical school offered training in business, trade, and industrial educa- tion. These business and trade courses were designed to prepare a student for immediate employment in his field upon graduation from local high schools. Valley Tech challenged every student to advance his education. Most programs that were offered at Valley Tech were two years in length, except for those offered in Cosmetology and Nursing.

November 7. A hot, dry August separated the men from the boys. Two practices a day, six days a week instilled football in the minds of our devoted athletes. They did not have any time to think about anything else! On September 6th the Albemarle Patriots invaded Henryland with a strong team and a two platoon system. Rated as 17 point underdogs, the Hornets put up a great effort but finally succumbed to the larger and faster Patriots 20—12. The 13th of September brought Wilson’s first district encounter with a most formidable opponent, the James River Knights. Albert Hite and Marlin Hewitt shared the spotlight, each scoring two touchdowns. Center placekicker Mark O’Baugh converted three times to put the Hornets ahead 27—0. With the victory iced, the famed “Bandit Squad” was given the chance to test their skill. The Knights scored twice, but it was to little avail as Wilson won 27—12 for its first conference win. District 5 Championship came a bit closer on September 20th when Wilson Memorial overcame rival Clifton Forge 26—19. Rated as underdogs, the Green Hornets were the first team to defeat the Mounties on their own field since 1965. Morale soared as quarterback Steve Troxell produced a 64 yard touchdown, the first time offense had received the ball. And there were only ten green and white men on the field. Throughout the rest of the game, scoring was fairly even with first one team and then the other scoring. The third quarter ended the scoring for Wilson. In a superbly fought game Wilson emerged a victor, number 2 for the Hornets. Behind the excellent blocking of Jerry Knueppel, Steve Litten, and the rest of the line, Albert Hite zooms through a hole for a fine gain. 203 Steve Troxell exhibits his running ability on a sweep as he scampers for good yardage behind some hardnose blocking of the Hornet line.

With unveiled attacks the Gladistors attempted to defeat the Hornets. Wilson was held to 7 during the first half. In the second half the Hornets came back with a scoring spree of 21 pts. On Oct. 4 the Hornets traveled to Waynesboro. Seeking a win over its traditional city rival, the half- time score looked good with Wilson in front, 6-3. The action reversed in the second half, and the Little Giants came on top 13-20. Oct. 11 brought Buffalo Gap to Fishersville. Within seven minutes the Hornets scored 25 points. At halftime the score read 31-0! Big Green scored once again while the Bisons scored 7. The final score read 38-7. The Hornets then traveled to Rockbridge. Both teams were pressing for a win. First half ended with a tie of 6-6. After halftime the Hornets were ready to play real football. By the end of the game, the tie was broken, Wilson emerging as victor, 26-6. End Greg McCauley stops an opposer’s gain. To Make Green and White Team Victorious Steve Troxell gives a good second effort to obtain a first down. This action occurred in the championship game with Alleghany. The Hornets clashed with the Indians in their eighth game of the season. An early score put the Indians in front with 7 points, and they kept the Hornets from scoring the first half. The Green scored a touchdown in the second half and then tied the score. The game ended in a tie 7-7, giving Wilson the only mar on its District 5 record. Nov. 1 was one of anticipation and dedication for all at Wilson. The Hornets had eight first-string veterans on the injured list. Things locked dim, but they still had a goal to achieve—to put Allegheny down. The C olts scored first on a safety by blocking a punt out of the end zone. Wilson came back to score their first touchdown in the second period. Later, O’Baugh picked up a fumble and ran 20 yards untouched for their second touch- down. The extra point was good, making the score 13-2, Wilson in front. The Hornet defense held Alleghany scoreless. Wilson emerged as District 5 Champions. With the championship secured, the Hornets traveled to Staunton. The Leemen struck quickly and took control from the outset. Wilson could not get an offense going and the defense was like a seive. As a result, Wilson lost, 48-0. This game did not mar the fact that the Hornets did a job well done‘ Not only did they win the District 5 Championship but they had to overcome great odds to do so. These boys deserved due credit for their courage and desire to accomplish a goal—a dream come true! The “‘W” for Wilson is shown by returning Senior lettermen for the 1968 football season. Veterans Mike Hewitt, Greg McCauley, Jerry Knuppel, Mark O’Baugh, Cliff Knous, Ron Ellinger, Sam Simpkins, Val Gochenour, and Albert Hite performed heroically throughout the gridiron season. 205 JV’s Emerge on Top in District Competition The 1968 Wilson Memorial J.V.

Under the fine and able leadership of James Furr, the 1968 J.V. football team saw one of the most illustrious seasons in its history. There was good team effort on the part of everyone; with special honor going to such as Steve Troxell, Eddie Allen, Lanny Fitzgerald and Dee Terrell. Coach Furr proudly displays the fact that his “Baby Hornet” team was unscored on until the last game of the season when John Lewis overcame them. None the less, the offensive unit scored 105 points on the other teams, while the contestants scored only 12! The J.V.’s began their winning season on September 25, with Buffalo Gap. Lasting victory the tangle with Fort Defiance was no letdown. The game with Waynesboro was no victory to some, but to the team it was one of the greatest games of the year, closing,the day with 0-0 tie. Victory again was the product of our J.V. team when it met with Riverheads. Shelborne turned out to be another markup for our boys. Then John Lewis seemed to come to the field to “really play football”. Our boys were fired up too, but the opposing team managed to defeat the J.V.’s in the last game of the season by 5 points. Thus the season ended with a remarkable 4-1-1 record for Mr. Furr and his team. Like the varsity team, it was a shame to lose the last game, but nevertheless the year showed what a great and able team we had. We all knew that through the past season, the Varsity Squad can be assured of fine, outstanding football players of the years to come! THANKS TEAM, FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

Improved Yearly Standing and Tourney Thrills The Wilson Memorial Green Hornet Basketball team made a very reputable showing for the 1968-69 season. Showing remarkable skill and determination, the whole team played to win each game and ended the season 9-5 in the district standings to give them 2nd place and a 9-9 overall record. After losing the season opener to the Ft. Defiance contingent, Wilson ran its district record to 6-2 with impressive victories over Clifton Forge, Allegheny, and Riverheads. With impressive ‘run and gun’ style of Greg McCauley, Don Cullen, and Warren Koiner, and the rebounding strength of Danny Rose and Wayne Coyner, the Hornets gave the loyal fans many exciting moments of action. After losing to an explosive quintet from Allegheny, Wilson started the second half of the season by over- powering James River behind the well balanced scoring of Coyner, Cullen, Rose and Koiner. The Hornets then retaliated against Rockbridge by thoroughly thrashing them 72-62. Rose, McCauley, and Koiner again led the Hornets with 19, 18, and 16 points respectively. The next opponent was Ft. Defiance. 211 Warren Koiner drives past Tommie Lawhorn in a clash with Riverheads. McCauley, Coyner, Rose, and Koiner are cited for their achievement in basketball.

Fort was a thorn in the side of the Hornets all year as they beat Wilson in a close contest for the second time of the year. At this point Wilson, 8—4, had an outside chance for the championship but lost a heartbreaker to the Mountees on the “crackerbox” court at Clifton Forge and also to James River in the final game of the regular season. February 24 sent the Green-and-White team to tournament action at V.M.I. Fieldhouse. With record turn-out crowds, the Wilson fans were subjected to a heart-throbbing game against rival Allegheny. In a double-overtime game, Wilson emerged the victor 81—78. The next night found the same crowd again at the Fieldhouse where the Hornets played rival Clifton Forge. In an overtime game, Wilson won 72—71. Concluding the season on February 26, Wilson lost the tournament crown by being overcome by Fort Defiance in another double-overtime game, 77—79. Warren Koiner and Greg McCauley lead the fast break in the finals of the District Five Tournament against the eventual winners, Fort Defiance. 212 JV Team Is Tall on Effort and Enth usiasm The 1968-69 Wilson Memorial High School J.V.

In the encounter with Fort Defiance, the Wilson team defeated the Indians, thus avenging their first defeat. With only veteran players Harry Fox, Gene Lucas, Randy Houff, and Jeff Williams to lead off the plays, Coach Sorrell took Troxell, Bodie Cook, Steve Gordon, Steve Campbell, David Coyner, Benny Conner, Roger Weaver, Johnny Puffenbarger, and Donnie Nauman, ex- posed them to strenous competition, and devel- oped them into a fine, hard-playing Wilson.

The Hornets then tangled with league leaders Alleghany and proceeded to stomp them 6-4 behind the hitting of Patterson, Blackwell, and Simpkins.

Among the new records set were Bob Altizer with the 2 mile run, Greg McCauley with a pole vault of 124’, a high jump of 65 %4”, and a broad jump of 22’ 4”. Other records set were a new 880 relay time of 1:34.5 and the Mile Relay with a time of 3:37.2. The 880 team was composed of Keith Smith, Harry Williams, Warren Koiner, and Greg McCauley; while Val Gochenour, R. E. Sheets, Keith Smith, and Warren Koiner make up the Mile Relay team.

Warren Koiner demonstrates how easy pole vaulting can be. 224 Track Team Has Record Breaking Success With coaches Joe Zapotoczny and Jerry Corbin to improve the style of the track team’s members, the men represented the school very well this year. Among the runners for the Green Hornets were Bob Altizer, Gary Craig, Ron Desper, Val Gochenour, Roscoe Harris, Marlin Hewitt, Albert Hite, Warren Koiner, Greg McCauley, Don Nauman, Ed Painter, David Parrish, Danny Rose, R. E. Sheets, Keith Smith, Harry Williams, Jeff Williams, and L. W. Yancey. Heading the poll Vaulting team was Greg McCauley, Tom Hollinger, and Joe Mizer; the high jump was represented by Greg McCauley, Mark O’baugh, and Warren Koiner; and the hurdles were run by Bill Daughtry, Mark O’baugh, and Albert Hite. Among the disks and shotput men were Jerry Knuppel, Mark O’baugh, Scott Holloway, and Steve Litten. With this combination of good men and excellent coaching, great determination and sports- manship was prevalent, making this year’s track team one of the best ever beheld by the Wilson Memorial Hornet fans. “What a beautiful day to win a first place in this event — if the darn ball will just go!” Is this one of the thoughts which race through the mind of veteran shotput thrower Mark O’baugh? With grim determination during his five years at Wilson, this senior has proven his ability at throwing the shot, running hurdles, and high jumping in all the meets. ... And Don Nauman comes in for the finish. With his running ability and fine sportsmanship, Don has been an excellent track star this year. 225 First Row: Susan Marcum, Leanna Appl, Page Hamilton, Vivian Mongold, Judy Crummett, Debbie Sondrol, and Rita Critzer. Second Row: Mrs. Brooker, Christine Appl, Shirleen Ellinger, Karen Miller, Connie Painter, Sharon Gochenour, Karen Coyner, Debbie O’Baugh, and Joan Daughtry. The Girl’s Softball Team spent many long hours practicing at Wilson Elementary each afternoon with Mrs. Brown, their coach. The team was not a strong one; it lacked the experience to make a successful team. The girls played well just the same. The team consists of 20 players—two full teams, a manager, and a scorekeeper. This year’s opponent was Albemarle, which was a tough team. The two games played were defeats for Wilson. The score in the first game was 17-3 while in the second game Albemarle only won by 1 point—23-22. This year’s team was a very young one with only one senior on the squad. Of the ten girls who played in matches there were four tenth graders and one ninth grader. A stronger team for next year seems very likely. The season began April 11 and ended May 20. During this period seven matches were played with four different opponents. All of the matches were defeats but most of the matches were very close. The most consistent winners were Page Hamilton, who was awarded the most valuable player trophy and Susan Marcum. Each won four of their matches. Next year will prove to be a better year for both teams. Rita Critzer and Deb Sondrol swing hard to win this match. 226 Flowers, Tennis, and Softball Usher In Spring Se ED heme - J Ed The 1969 girls on the Softball Team are, first row, Brenda Michael, Linda Hewitt, Becky McCray, Tina Matheny, Donna Houser, Sharon Fox.

One of these was Intramural Basketball which began in November and ended in December. There were four teams with captains Debbie Fisher, Frances Johnson, Linda Hewitt, and Donna Critzer. There were two divisions, varsity and junior varsity. The varsity was made-up of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, the junior varsity was made-up of Freshmen and eighth graders. There was a tie between Frances Johnson’s team and Debbie Fisher’s team for the varsity championship. There was a play-off won by Frances Johnson’s team. Debbie Fisher’s team won the junior varsity championship. Intramural Basket- ball is one of the many sports in which the girls may pick-up points in order to receive sports letters. The girls who participated in these activities gained skill and enjoyment from this intramural sport. Mrs. Brooker, Mrs. Taylor, and Mrs. Brown were the sponsors. and referees, giving the girls the privilege of after-school sports. Students came out on top in the Interclass Basketball game with the teachers. 231 Girls Activate Ping Pong Paddles And Volleyballs A familiar sight for all afternoon sports and all girls’ athletic events was Linda Enger.
