The Class of '60 Pauses To Reflect on a TIME-ly Theme We have, and always have had, all the TIME there is says Arnold Bennett. It is the realization of this that has led the Echo staff to record for you in words and pictures some of the golden MOMENTS of the past. Each activity, each period of study during all our years together has been governed by twenty-four HOURS of daily TIME out of which we have spun pleasure, content, friend- ship, knowledge, laughters, and, perhaps, tears. TIME moves on, but memories of HOURS that have been pleasantly spent re- main forever. The SECONDS-60 of them-have hurried to make the MINUTESQ then 60 MINUTES evolved into each memorable HOUR. The CLOCKS on the pages of this book mark the good HOURS of our student days. 12

TIMES WE SHALL In September of 1957 an assembly was held at Woodrow Wilson High School. We, the group assembled, were a number of nervous stu- dents eagerly awaiting our fate. The first few days were rough and hecticg we rode imaginary elevators and searched for lounges that were not there. However, we soon caught on to Woodrow Wilson High School's ways, and with great aims we set out to meet the coming year. At the first class meeting, we elected officers. They were Jerry Turner, Sara Meador, Martha Maxwell, and Sam Cohn. We were happy to have as our class sponsor Mrs. Janet Rodriguez who was appointed to guide us through the next three years. Among our many activities during the year was the Informal Party. Davy Jones' Locker set the mood for a wonderful night that all will remember. Before we knew it, school was out. There were three months ahead to recuperate from the strain of our first year at Woodrow Wilson High School, and to anticipate our junior year. The school term of 1958-1959 began on a sunny September day. Junior Class officers were Jerry Turner, Sara Meador, Jo Ann Cascio, and Sam Cohn. The state of mind of the junior students was quite different from that of the previous year. Woodrow Wilson High School was home to us now, and we were glad to be starting another year. The Junior Class Play, Pride and Prejudice, was a delightful three- act romantic comedy. It was presented with great success. The annual minstrel, directed by Mr. Glenn Sallack, was entitled Kollege Kapersf' Both director and cast worked hard to make this one of the highlights of our Junior year. l4
