Nostalgia Runs Rampant on Special “Fifties Day,” Spring '75 The atmosphere of Woodrow was changed for a day last spring as students portrayed the styles of the 1950’s. Halls were filled with teenie-boppers wearing pigtails, letter jackets and slicked-back hair. Even the teachers participated as the clock was turned back to Woodrow's former days (of which they had better recollection, anyway!) The climax of 50’s Day was a sock hop in the girls' gym, which featured authentic music of the era. All in all, it was acclaimed a very entertaining day at Woodrow Wilson. Student , dressed appropriately, demonstrate the Bunny Hop, led by Ruth Ann Burton and Joe Sholden. Caught up in the day' octivitie , Mr , Graham and Mr. McCarty revert to their childhood.

Inaccurate Story Rouses Students May of 1975 brought much controversy at Woodrow over an article printed in the Dallas Times Herald. The story indicated that race relations and law observance at Woodrow Wilson were not healthy and led readers to believe that the situation foreboded danger. Immediately students, parents, and teach ers of all backgrounds and races rallied to refute this report. Petitions were signed, letters were written, and concern was expressed by all. Satisfaction was felt at last, when a retraction was printed by the Times Herald. An excerpt of the protest petition wos sent to the Times Herold. Two Woodrow Students, Juon Alvorodo ond Roy Castro sign petition, which when completed bore over 900 names. 14 STUDENT LIFE
