Spring Assembly High Point of Year for New Sweethearts Spring of 1975 brought with it once again the excitement of Spring Assembly, at which the Sweethearts presented their annual performance before the student body. After many long hours of exacting practice and hard work the 75-76 Drill Team was ready to make its debut. Students applauded enthusiastically as the Sweethearts performed by squads, and then retired to the audience to observe the performance of their captains. Several parents were also present to support their daughters, who were attired in traditional red lipstick and stiff petticoats under their scarlet uniforms. The audience expressed general approval as they watched their Drill Team smile, bow, and high-kick their way through another Spring Assembly.

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.

Students Elect New Council Officers in Spring of '75 Wide porficipotion wos seen in voting for Student Council Officers. Josie Gonzalez delivers her campaign speech as students listen attentively. As the Class of '75 prepared for graduation, the Class of '76 was busy nominating candidates for the coming school year. Some fifteen candidates campaigned zealously for the support of voters, and halls were filled with posters and signs as the campaign raged. At the end of the long road of campaigning, candidates for the offices of president, vice president, and secretary of the Student Council made their speeches before the student body. Competition was stiff, and the decision was difficult, but at last, Bruce Phillips, Ken Sturges and Karen Matney emerged victorious in the voting. STUDENT LIFE 17
