Office Aides Constitute Modern Pony Express A deserted hallway, the resounding echo of weary footsteps, a clandestine wave to a friend in a classroom, the hesitancy experienced in walking into a busy classroom—these were a few of the joys and uncertainties a student office helper faced daily. These helpers served as the feet and hands for several office staffs at Woodrow Wilson. Forfeiting a study hall to work in the offices, students carried various messages to and from the classrooms. This year, after the faculty agreed to reduce hallway traffic by allowing no one in the corridors without a written permit, the office helpers were granted a special privilege: they were assigned official office badges with their names on them. These badges guaranteed unquestioned wandering in the hallowed halls. Student helper Brcncll Cherry collects absentee cards, completing one link in the chain of duties for the Pupil Personnel Office.

English Teems With Medieval Malevolence Medieval magic in Beowulf, eerie sensations of Our Town, heroic aspirations of Caesar—these were memories that lurked in the minds of English students. This year classes presented Medieval and Elizabethan plays in class, viewed films shown on pixmohiles, studied linguistics and grammar, and attended a production of Macbeth at the Theater Center in Dallas. Seven new teachers joined the ranks of the English Department last fall, some filled the demands of sharply increasing enrollment and others assumed the places of retiring teachers. Those new to Woodrow were: Mrs. Carol Hildebrand, Miss Helen Lawrence, Miss Ann McSpaddcn, Miss Marlene Mallcwick, Mrs. Carolyn Peadon, Mrs. Jo Carol Prater, and Mrs. Martha Timm. Group work was employed to further interest in English courses. Panels and dramatic presentations given on plays from Macbeth to The Wild Duck supplemented the usual program. Sophomore classes dissected Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and a varied collection of short stories, poems, and novels. Juniors were preoccupied with American writers from John Smith to World War II GI’s. The contributions of English Literature from Shakespeare to Shaw were discovered by senior classes: while in advanced placement sections, classical and international works were studied, with emphasis on essay and theme writing. Additional opportunities for exposure to writing were available in the after-school creative writing class, held b Mrs. Judith Pickering. Frank Perales and Steve Condon add interest to Miss Webb’s English with a visual model of the Elizabethan Globe Theater. 28 Mr. Albert Johnston uses actual make-up pages to explain the jobs of newspaper journalists.
