Page 4 0000000 Woodrow Wilson, like any other high school, has the primary func- tion of turning out well-rounded individuals. Here, opportunities and ac- tivities are available to the youth of Portsmouth regardless of their interests or abilities. The traditions, long established in the old Wilson, are being carried out even more fully, thanks to an ultra-modern, spacious, and fully equipped educational plant. Within these walls the normal routine of high school life is carried on from day to day. All of us are given the opportunity to prepare ourselves in all fields of endeavor, whether they be science, education, industry, or business. Learning, at best, is a complicated process involving long hours of study, preparation, experimentation, and research, but easing the way for us is a patient, understanding, competent, and co-operative faculty. For those of us who have interests beyond the classroom, there are numerous clubs, organizations, and activities suited to our individual de- sires. All of these offer a chance for personal expression and satisfaction. Wilson teams in the past have always ranked high in athletic circles. To- day, thanks to the caliber of the coaching staff and the athlete, our reputa- tion along that line has become even more enhanced. We are exposed, in the course of every school day, to one of life's greatest problems-learning to live in harmony with one another. Any friendships that we as students make are stepping stones along the narrow pathway to this ultimate goal. This past year has been a memorable, enjoyable, and short one, par- ticularly for those of us who are Seniors. We have tried to capture in pic- tures as many scenes, situations, and activities as possible. We probably have not recorded everything, but it is not because we have not tried. We hope that you, the reader, will find something of personal interest. We earnestly hope that this edition of our annual will bring back memories of high school days as you thumb through its pages in years to come. This book is you, it is yours, you are the principal character because you helped make it. Let's follow Karen and Lad, Senior and Student Body Presidents, as they lead us through this, the l957 President.
