 There's Bells In Our Hearts sing Patty Bowers, Jennie Gray, Dede Boyd, Candy Topham, and Rene Ferguson on the Mobil Stage at Fair Park during the High School Day Talent Competition. The Echos were accompanied by Kathy Hamilton and Robert Welsh. These Wildcat football fans enjoy hamburgers and R.C.'s at an after, game party in Jackie Ricvcs' back yard. WILDCATS ENJOY FAIR DAY, DANCES, AND PARTIES These costumes may be a little more extravagant than those worn during the Dog Patch Days, but Ricky White, Nancy Slaughter, Jane Mackey, and Leonard Robinson surely do look stylish while having a good time at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. 24

Beverly Benthul greeted the many parents and visitors that came to Woodrow on Tuesday night, November 9, during American Education Week. American Education Week promotes parent teacher relationship and also works in behalf of the student. Dr. W. A. Welsh delivered the message on our annual Thanksgiving assembly. The masters of ceremony were his twin sons David and Robert. The concert choir sang The Star Spangled Banner and Worship the King. November was highlighted by several major events at Woodrow Wilson High School. The traditional home-coming game and dance brought excitement to everyone. The students enjoyed seeing the exes of Woodrow, and the highlight of the night came with the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Betsy Hill. Four other finalists were Sandra Duckworth, Beverly Benthul, Joan McCullough and Diane Hilley. The students enjoyed the homecoming pep assembly put on by the sophomores. They humorously depicted several of the senior personalities seen around the school. The assembly proved effective, as was shown by the 14-7 victory over the Hillcrest Panthers. American Education Week was held during one week of November. The school had open house on Tuesday, November 9, so that parents and teachers could have a chance to meet each other. The orchestra gave a thirty-minute performance of fine music before the rooms opened at 8:15. Classrooms were decorated with posters and other displays of work by the students. The Parent Teachers Association gave each teacher a red carnation corsage or boutonniere. The Crusader staff presented a play, A Typical Day in Mr. Allen's Room, on the annual assembly, depicting humorous scenes which occurred'' while working on the yearbook. This started off the week in which the annuals were sold at a reduced rate. After many weeks of hard work, excitement, and fun, the month was brought to an end by the Thanksgiving holidays. To remind Woodrow students of the true meaning of Thanksgiving, the concert choir sang, and the pastor of East Dallas Christian Church, Dr. Welsh, brought the message on our assembly.
