Q V D u H D u H D u H hJ D u • New Fields Opened — Operating under the scru- tiny of national educational circles, Wilson ' s elabor- ate system of courses offered were supplemented and reorganized to meet the ever changing conditions. • The new Family Relations classes, open only to graduating seniors, were overfilled in all four per- iods. This enlightening subject, taught only at Wil- son, seeks to prepare youths for their later life. • The combined foods classes, in which boys and girls work side by side in preparing the choicest of culinary dishes, came in for its bit of praise. With an eye to matrimony of the future, boys learn the deli- cate art of cookery and even surpass their feminine co-workers in finished products turned out. Realizing the great pressure demanded by society on those who enter business, they came out with honors. 9 English, Languages — Krythc, Townsend, Dougherty, W.

C x • TENxljClfY I . . Bronzed, grim, and determined, veterans o Tent City complete another year of out do(z(r ife. With the same crude structures of last year, flemishing inadequate classrooms and offices, ad- ministrators, faculty, and students have marched victoriously through the Red Sea. Enveloped by shrouds of fog. drenched by heavy rains, dried by hot mid-day sunlight, whipped about by strong winds, and choked by smoke . . . until another week of rain . . . Wilson has come out undaunted. • Fired by the inspirational leadership of Princi- pal Harry J. Moore, Wilson moved through the two years of reconstruction with rapid progress and un- tiring activity. This informal atmosphere, has been all-important in maintaining the morale of the stu- dent body under such trying conditions. % Social Studies. Sophomore English Social Studies — Eggenberg- cr, J.

• Administration — Continuing its di splay of ed- ucational advancement, unhampered in fortitude by the many difficulties which have beset her, Wilson this year added another chapter, her ninth, to the al- ready full book of achievements. More than 1800 students have increased their knowledge, and 500 have been turned out with the stamp, ' ' High School Graduates. • Principal Harry J. Moore ' s coveted brainchild, the A and B conference period plan, wound up its sec- ond successful year among the plaudits of local edu- cators. With students meeting only every other day for each class, this new system has opened countless fields for pupil advancement and freedom by permit- ting an enriched course and new interests. 9 Art.
