First Floor A s you look at this page, you ' re prob¬ ably wondering what the Business department, Library, and Physical Education could possibly have in common. Well, for starters, they are all on the first floor. These departments are the groundwork of our basic education. En¬ glish papers could not always be turned in without typing them. History papers could not be produced without the library. Then there is the running to get to class with the help of physical fitness. There ' s the possibility that these depart¬ ments are on the first floor for a reason. Maybe they really constitute the basis of our education. Or maybe these depart¬ ments are all on the first floor because the other floors were full. But, whether they were purposely grouped or not, we have to admit that without the first floor, we would be lost. — by Marilyn Cummings THE combination of clear skies and warm weather this fall was great news for Mrs. Saba ' s crew of short clad, enthusiastic archers.

Administration T he administration plays a vital role in keeping the school running smoothly. People like Superinten¬ dent Charles Mitsakos, Principal Vincent Lacroco, Assistant principal Thomas Budrewicz and Janice Dolan keep WHS strong and steady. Mrs. Dolan is the acting vice principal. Although she still remains the director of Health and Physical Educa¬ tion, she is not teaching gym this year. However it is the people who work behind the scenes and often go unnoticed that work the hardest. Mrs. Moynihan is one of these people, as the secretary to the prin¬ cipal and office manager she plays an im¬ portant role. Mrs. Jacobs, the voice of WHS is the school ' s receptionist. Connie James is the bookkeeper, Janet Russell and Carolyn Majer alternate days as the regis¬ trar. — by Karen Bauman GLEN Doherty, David Banks, and Jen Ciotti make use of their short break from Humanities break to ex¬ change the news of the day.

Resources T he Special Education department at the high school offers many opportu¬ nities to the often overlooked learn¬ ing disabled students. Irene Michelson, the head of the resource room, is responsible for making sure that everyone of the one hundred students that come into the re¬ source room receives individual attention on his own educational plan. T.A.P., also known as the alternative pro¬ gram, is headed by Robert Carroll. This program ' s objective is to fill in gaps caused by behavioral or truancy problems, and to provide a caring atmosphere for students. All of the administrators agree that a great deal has been accomplished with respect to the special needs curriculum but they feel there is still more to do. With the sup¬ port of both students and teachers, on the inside and on the outside, the special edu¬ cation program may become even more successful than it has been in the past. — by Lauren Murray SUSAN Valbuena uses her time wisely, at the end of the period she gets a head start on her difficult of busi¬ ness homework.
