What value or meaning does one put on the school to which he has been exposed for a period of four years? The story of our lives at Woodrow Wilson High School is one of achievement and develop-' ment. We, the students, have had an oppor- tunity to select the curriculum best suited to our individual abilities and interests. The administration and faculty have supplied the answers to our distinct need, most of them personal in nature. With superior guidance and ever-present patience, they have encouraged us in our respective fields of endeavor. Traveling the corridors of the future, we will recapture many pleasant memories as we pause to browse through this book - the permanent record of our various accomplishments. Organizational activities included an impres- sive variety of possible interests, thereby offer- ing every student the opportunity to identify himself with others whose ambitions and pleas- ures paralleled his own. Both the group and the individual benefited from these associations. Through pictures and captions we have at- tempted to record all outstanding scenes and events familiar to each one of us. However, in any undertaking of this magnitude, some were ilinintentionally excluded that rightfully belong ere. Our athletes earned all the plaudits accorded them, and we salute proudly their fine record in competitive meetsg their splendid team spiritg their personal achievements. We pay tribute, too, to our athletic staff and directors who have helped develop this high degree of sportsman- ship in our youth. Now it is time to turn the pages. The staff sincerely hopes each person will find his place in the activities, classes, organizations, features, sports, and advertising sections that make up t is, the 1960 President.

In Memoriam MRS. MILDRED LIEBRECHT JOHNSON Good teachers are the foundation on which our educational system rests. They must know sub- ject matter and teaching methods, and be able to recognize individual differences among those they teach. They must love teaching and students. They must live so that their personal lives exemplify the same lessons that their classes encourage. Mrs. Mildred johnson was a good teacher. Her knowledge of subject matter and teaching meth- ods caused students and teachers to consult her about problems in her field. Her love of students and teaching was clearly evident in her determination to meet her classes in her own cheerful manner during the painful days of her last illness. Her personal life was a story of devotion to dutyg of cour- age in the face of physical pain and mental anguish. Mrs. Johnson has touched many lives in her years of association with students and her fellow workers, and because of these impressions, her influence will have a lasting effect in the future. A good teacher and a personal friend has answered the final roll call. We will not soon find another like Mrs. Mildred Iohnson.
