Woodrow Wilson High School - Orion Yearbook (Youngstown, OH)

The teachers and students of Woodrow Wilson High School have a right to be proud of the excellent record your alumni and former pupils have made in helping to win the War. They have been fighting and dying in all parts of the world to preserve those ideals for which America stands. Now that victory in the War is ours, what about the victory in the peace that is to follow? We should take a solemn pledge to do our part in helping to win the peace just as these boys in the armed forces have done their part in helping to win the War. You may say, I am only one among the many millions of people in the world. What can I do? Each one of us can help to bring about a feeling of good will and mutual understanding. We can respect the rights and beliefs of others. We can practice the Golden Rule. We can become good citizens of the World by being good citizens of our school and our community. Permanent peace will come in the earth when all peoples everywhere practice good will. Let us cultivate that noble virtue in Woodrow Wilson High. PAUL C. BUNN, Superintendent of Schools ■ Page Five )►

We have had a successful year, despite perplexing problems and anxieties with new and strange demands made upon us by a world at war. We have kept our school work up to a high degree of excellence, and have found time to do many things of service to our country, community and school. We have contributed over 365,000 man hours of labor to the war effort. We have bought approximately 25,000 worth of bonds. We have engaged in every constructive drive in the city. We have also clothed our choir in new robes and dressed up the auditorium stage with new curtains and stage set- tings. We have honored our service boys and girls with fitting memorials, although the rolls are not yet complete. To all this the classes of 1945 have contributed heavily, for which Wilson is deeply grateful as she bids them good-bye and Godspeed. GEORGE W. GLASGOW, Principal • S( Page Four ] •

Room 319 has been humming with activity since then and we hope with great success. Wanda and Jimmie have been coaxing, begging, and screaming for articles until at last the Orion is completed. This year the staff has been confronted with great handicaps because of war time conditions. Since the publication of the previous annual one of the original members of the faculty staff, Mrs. Muldoon and three of our classmates have passed away. Though we have worked under many hardships we hope this Orion is equal to previous editions. The literary work of the year book has been advised by Miss Wike, Miss Judge, Miss Pierson, and Mr. Williams. Annual Staff ■4 Page Six
