Well, it’s hard to believe but the Seniors of 1975 will be walking down the halls of Woodrow Wilson High School for the last time. When they came in 1972, they came to a different school than they will graduate from. The Seniors had some hard times. In 1972, they were freshmen amazed at how big Wilson was. Now they know ’ole WWHS like it was the back of their hand. In 1973 came the biggest year of adjustment. Not only was it hard for the freshmen who came in 1972, but it was just as hard for the soph- omores of 1973 who came from Norcom. It took a year but they did it. They both final- ly accepted each other and the school they were forced into together. In 1974 they were finally united. The juniors of 1974 stood tall for the colors of orange and blue. Nothing could stop them. A victorious football team reigned that year with the aid of these ju- niors. Also, the juniors presented a very suc- cessful Prom, “Colour My World’’ to the se- niors of 1974. The musical that year, “The Music Man’’, was also a success due partly to the ’74 juniors. They finally got to the top of the ladder in 1975! They were seniors-not “punky freshmen”, that was a long time ago— but SENIORS!!! The seniors of 1975 led every- thing. They prevailed on the Varsity cheer- ing squad, basketball team, football team, in dramatics (as was shown in their final musi- cal “Fiddler on the Roof”), in the Forum, and many other clubs and extracurricular ac- tivities. They left their mark everywhere for others to see. They will be gone, but they will always be remembered! 49 SENIOR HOMEROOMS REIGN Senior homeroom 123 won many a Student Scholarship Fun Drive.

Middle Row: Lee Young, Herman Collins, Reginald Williams, Arthur Jones, Larry Stewart, Willie Watson, Carl Ellis, Bernard Jones, Woody Franklin, Charles Goosby. Back Row: Coach Crigger, Coach Mollenhouer, Tyrone Lawton, Charles Amos, Kenny Edwards, Phil Harrell, James Burden, Mike Antonnuci, Russell Collins, Sylvester Mills, Coach Sherrill, Coach Eddie Bulheller. Wliat should have been another championship year in the long history of Wilson football, turned out to be another rebuilding year. Coach Eddie Bulheller and staff were looking forward to another great year, saw it fade away in early August as only 12 returnees reported to practice out of 22 possible candidates. The biggest drain was the decision on August 19th to allow several players to transfer to Norcom. However, Wilson survived the second sacrifice in three years to appease other I schools and fielded a team. The Presidents got off to a slow start losing to Western Branch, Manor, and Churchland, but showed improvement in each game. Wilson got i on the winning side of the record with a Homecoming victory over Indian River 12-6. ; In a higlily defensive game, Wilson tied Deep Creek 0-0. The Presidents staged an up- set victory over Great Bridge 10-6, and ended the season with a shutout victory over Cradock 22-0. The Presidents finished with a 3-6-1 record but showed great improvement. In . closing Coach Eddie Bulheller was quoted as saying “Here at Wilson our school tradi- tion and young men have payed a great price to continue playing football.” Concentration is part of the game. “PRESIDENTS WIN ANOTHER HOMECOMING” The scoreboard told the story. James, Melvin, and Fans rejoiced over homecoming victory. Bonnie and Diane paid their last respects to the Braves. As the season had started slow for the Presi- dents, they wete out to seek their first victory, but that first victory was more than just a vic- tory; it was a homecoming victory. We were facing a team with identical records. From the kickoff time, it took Herman Collins no time at all to pile up the first touchdown. As the game progressed, we found that John O’Neal played his part well by putting six more points on the scoreboard. Tliis brought the final score of a 14-0 victory over the Indian River Braves. Coaches and players concentrated hard on the game. John O’Neal rushed against Indian River defense. 1 I You can’t stop a Prexie. Pain is part of the game. 57 JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Front Row; James Sumner, Ronald Boomer, Edinburg Williams, Frankie Cohn, Bobby James, B. T. Green, James Wynn, James Hurst, Lemenl Quidgeon, Coach Phil McMiUion. Back Row: Coach A1 Smith, Larry Barrow, Steve Newton, George Brooks, Nathan Fields, Larry Newbie, Wayne Wilson, Andre Wat- son, Philip Jordan, Milton Brown, Brian Kodman, Calvin Sykes, Steve Cathins. Team members go to side line for some coaching. Donna cheers for J.V. football team. The season started with a win over Deep Creek 8-0. Wayne Wilson scored on a 5-yard run and made the 2 point conversion. Defensively, the whole team did well. Indian River scored with less than a minute left to upset the Prexies 12-6. Calvin Sykes set a Junior Varsity Record by running 95-yards for the Prexie touchdown. Western Branch built up an early lead but were scared in the fourth quarter when the Presidents scored twice: Calvin Sykes threw to Brian Kodman for the first touchdown and Lemenl Quidgeon threw to Wayne Wilson for the second. The best effort of the team was against a much superior team physically. The Manor team out- weighed the Prexies by as much as 40 lbs. a man. An inspired effort by the whole team allowed the score to be 6-6 at half. The tying score came when Wayne Wilson ran 14-yards for a touch- down. Manors score came with a minute left to go in the game, however to subdue an outstand- ing effort by the Prexie’s clever. The Prexies moved the ball with futility. The Liners who did a soUd job all year include: Larry Newbie, Dan Wagner, George Brooks, Edinburg Williams, Bobby James, Philip Jordan, B. T. Green, Nathan Fields, Larry Bar- row, Andre ' Watson. The punter was Brian Kodman who had a 31.4 average. The center was Duke Rollins who had perfect snaps and no errors. J.V.’s go after their man! 59 THE PRIDE AND JOY OF ' ' A m M f 7 ■ 1 Hi V Bottom Row: Julie Lane, Diane Keyes (mascot), Vivian Howard, Alexis Savage (mascot), Susie Smith.

Top Row: Gale Ross, Linda Myers. “Freshmen are you with us?” The PRIDE AND JOY of Wilson High School once again regains the tradition that makes this school what it is. These cheerleaders cheered through rain, sleet, cold nights, losing seasons, and everytime they cheered as if it was the first game of the season. The response they received from the fans was incredible. This year a los- ing season made no difference! A Prexie is a Prexie, through and through, win or lose! With Miss Elaine Wilson’s guidance as sponsor, the cheerleaders endured many long practices, which all payed off. Many of the cheerleaders on the 1974-75 squad had previous cheering experience from years before, so the main objectives were perfecting mounts, jumps, and cheers, and regaining school spirit. Gale and Bonnie hang in there. WOODROW WILSON HIGH SCHOOL Diane and Alexis cheer at Homecoming. Mascots at work: Alexis and Diane.

Denise cha-chas on the court. girls’ basketball team, they did more than could ever be expected from a young team. They had a regular season that no one could beat— 8 wins and 0 losses. High scorers for the regular season were Rosa Bell with 130 points, Norma Moore with 115 points, Sandra Reid with 59 points, and Brenda Moore with 30 Points. 1975 proved to be a very rewarding year for these girls. “45” suspends the ball. 62 Another basket for Sandra Reid. Two points for the Prexies. Get the ball ! Rosa attempts to score. Rosa Bell dribbles down the court. CROSS COUNTRY RATE AAA With only one runner returning from last year’s team, Alan Betrand, this season was a season of rebuilding for the cross country team. After losing the opening meet to Great Bridge by five points, subsequent losses followed to Western Branch, Indian River, Deep Creek, and Manor. Our team concluded the regular season by defeating the Norcom Greyhounds. In the district race, our team finished seventh by defeating Norcom, Churcliland, and Oscar Smith. Front Row: Elton Fintch, Tony Wright. Back Row: Alan Betrand, Mike Goosby, Mike Jones, Coach Ken Hopkins. Turkey gobbles up the other team.

Bottom Row: Shirley Brown, Belinda Hyman, Hy- brina Robinson, Glendolynn Thorn, Gwen Hodges. This year’s hockey team managed to pull through the season despite Nu- merous obstacles. Lack of near-by op- ponents limited the number at games, and the long distances to the compet- ing schools prevented team support. The team itself was only one string with a few substitutions, which didn’t leave us much to draw from. Despite these and other impediments, they managed a 2-1-3 season. Many of the players were new to the game of hock- ey and for them it was a learning ex- perience. Outstanding players were the co-captains Belinda Hyman and Shirley Brown. Hybrina Robinson, a first year goalie saved many goals for our team. All in all, the teams efforts provided a good foundation to build upon next year. The agony of defeat. The joy of victory! 65 WILSON HIGH WRESTLERS Leo traps his man. The Wilson wrestling team posted its best record in three seasons this year. Although the team won only three matches and tied one, they did send six wrestlers to the Southeast- ern Regional Tournament. Those advancing to regional competition were;Irewood Smith, Andre Booker, Guy Wong, Michael Folston, Wayne Bashay, and Larry Stewart. Tire most successful wrestler was junior Larry Stewart, who posted a 20-2 record. Larry’s only losses came in the finals of the Regional and State Tournaments, both to the same opponent. Coach Bill McGlaughon is looking forward to next year, when all of tlris years wres- tlers will be returning except Guy Wong. Wrestling involves a lot of concentration. Kneeling, left to right: Leo Battle, Irewood Smith, Andre Booker, Mike Folston, James Clanton. Standing: Coach McGlaughon, Guy Wong, Edinburg Williams, George Brooks, Robert Borum.

WILSON BASKETBALL TEAM Left to Right; Melvin Haggins, Steve Atkinson, Bairy Dunston, Don Manzione, Gregory Wright, Arthur Jones, Kenriy Smith, Willie Holmes, Alan Betrand, Calvin Brown, WUliam Bell, Coach Hopkins. This year’s basketball team had an excellent record of 17 wins and 5 los- ses, and a 15 and 3 District Record. The team scored in the 90’s twice and went over the century mark against Cradock. The key to the team’s success was balance in scoring. Four of the five starters averaged double figures. Highhghts of the season came in the middle of the year when Wilson handed Norcom its only regular season loss— 72-66. Alan, Kenny, Calvin, and Moose seem puzzled as Coach Hopkins speaks. Barry needs no help. 68 STRIVES TO BE NUMBER ONE Kenny concentrates on game action from sideline. Alan tries for the tip-off. Moose doesn’t let the Bruins stop him.

The team compiled a 13 win, 5 loss season while finishing second in the district. The team was led by captains Mike Bazemore and Calvin Green. The leading rebounder and most improved player was Stanley HaU. Freshmen who started and show great promise are “Joe BaH” Goosby and W illi e Watson. The biggest victory of the year was the sound defeat of the best J.V. Team in the area, Great Bridge. Other valuable players include, Marvin Cherry, Tim Madden, and Carl Ellis. Other return players are Wayne Winborne, Keith Jones, Anthony White- head, John Pressely and Willie MiUer. With the graduation of many Varsity players, this year’s J.V.’s will have a great chance to walk into a start- ing position. Our man tries to keep the Bruins from scoring. Michael jumps high for a basket. Coach Mollenhauer shouts words of advice from sideline. Team members view action from the bench. Willie trys for a basket. — ‘ 5 Cal gets a foul shot. Michael dumps the ball. Stanley’s too fast for the Bruins. 73 GOLF ’75 The year 1975 will be a rebuilding one for the Wilson golf team. There are three sophomores and five freshmen competing for the four spots available in each match. Hopefully, this will be the year when confidence is established in these young players and next year will bring the championship.

The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders’ squad was not very large this year; how- ever, what they lacked in number, they made up in talent. Not only did they cheer at all the Junior Varsity football and basketball games, but they also cheered at a few of Wilson’s girl’s basket- ball games, held a bake sale, and sold homecoming corsages. They also sold pro- grams at the varsity football games and helped the varsity cheerleaders by giving them support in the stands at games and in the aisles during pep rallies. “All for Wilson High, stand up and holler!!” JV cheerleaders kick up spirit for W.W.H.S. TENNIS TEAM GETS Left to Right; Coach McMillian, Lee Young, Mindy Silberstein, Helen Smith, Sandy Sawyer, Tammy Peters, Brian Kodman. Brian begins to swing for the ball. This year, 1975, will be a rebuilding year for the tennis team. Helen Smith, Sandy Sawyer, Tammy Peters, and Lee Young, all ju- niors and Mindy Silberstein, sophomore are returning from last year. Two new players, Brian Kodman, a sophomore, and Wayne Bashay, a junior, have joined the team. Coach McMillian is concentrating on team effort and strategy, working toward a competitive season. A good performance is expected from junior, Helen Smith; however, the entire team is working toward a good overall record. Helen gets into ready position. 76 INTO THE SWING OF THINGS Helen prepares to return the ball. Brian anticipates his next move. Brian and Mindy know that practice makes perfect. Wayne returns the ball with ease. Mindy practices the forehand stroke. ’75 BASEBALL TEAM IS ON THE BALL “Run Jim Run!’ Chuckie tells Dickie he needs a shave. Don faces the agony of defeat. No. 27 gives us a bird’s-eye view at home plate. Coach Prince loves that cherry-flavored chapstick! 78 Dickie Rader wears his hat like his head Spec spurts speedy spit ball. Dan says, “You missed the ballJimmy!!’ Moss uses a little savvy at the plate. What a slugger! The 1974 baseball team, under the direction of Wayne “goosie gander” Prince, finished high in the district standings, losing only 5 of their 14 games. The Presidents were led by John Moss, Dan Brower, Jimmy Topping, and Mike Lipford. The team had the potential to win the district, but lost heartbreakers to Cradock and Deep Creek. The 1975 team also has hopes of finishing high in the district standings. The battery of Phil Harrell and Jimmy Topping should play an important role in the success of this years team. Topping led the team in hitting last year and is regarded by many as the best catcher in the conference. Returning to the team along with Topping and Harrell are Timmy Madden, Woody Franklin, Nate Skates, Russell Borjes and Bob Tyler. If this team uses “a little savvy” as Coach Prince wants, they might go all the way. 79 Back: Coach McGlaughon, Arthur Jones, Larry Stewart, Albert Gaylord.

Wilson’s success The sky is the limit. did not stop with dual meet competition, be- cause in the following two weeks they went on to win the City title, and more important, the District championship. Outstanding individuals who are not back this year are: James Doughtie, Richard Rodgers, Marion Jones, and Tommy Thomas; but Coach Bill McGlaughon is looking forward to the 1975 season when sprinters Buddy Raynor and Willie Jackson will be returning. In field events Larry Stewart, Melvin Riddick, Arthur Jones, James Whitehead, and Calvin Brown com- bined to give Wilson another successful year. Moose prepares to run. OUR FAMOUS TRACK TEAM OF 1974-75 80 THIRD YEAR FOR “GIRLS TRACK TEAM” Back Row: Teresa Evans, Cheri Pollard, Jo Ann Pollard, Wilma Ricks, Belinda Hyman, Jackie Rooks, Lisa Parker. I ront Row: Mrs. Ripley and Bo, Stephanie Rollins, Cheryl Deans, Shirley Brow n, Debra Vann, Nesie Hunter. The “Girls Track Team” had its best year in 1974 with a 3-1 record. Girls that have returned from last year’s team are as follows: Shirley Brown, Nesy Hunter, Belinda Hy- man, Jackie Rooks, Debra Vann. The girls had worked very hard each day in their effort to win each meet and they are working just as hard this year. Some of the events are the long jump, high jump, 100 and 220 yd. -dash, 440 relay, med- ley, 880 yd.-run, low hurdles, shot- put, and the disc. Diane Blunt was the most outstanding senior on the team; she competed in the shot-put, disc, and the 100 yd.-dash. The girls had a good season and this year should be just as promising. Belinda uses her ability to throw the disc. WUma joins the team as a disc tliiower. 81 Sandra Reed-A forward. Effort is part of the game J.V.

During this time some club members went to La Crepe, a French restaurant in Virginia Beach. There they enjoyed gourmet dishes and a chance to hear the French language in use. With the beginning of a new year, the club sold candy and raised $300 more. In February, the French Club and classes began to plan for Foreign Language Week in March. Posters were made, bulletin boards were decorated, and poems were recited. Students pre- pared various dishes for the International Buffet, the climax of the week. Finally, it was time to go to Canada! The two cities on the tour were Quebec and Montreal. Many famous landmarks and quaint shops were visited. The trip was truly the highlight of the year.

BURTON These are busy times as we cross the half year mark moving toward the conclusion of a real successful year here at Wilson. This “new” Principal is indebted to Dr. Morlino for the fine job he did in making my change to Wilson so pleasant. The staff (everyone) at Wilson has just been outstanding in doing whatever could be done to make the transition a smooth one. The students have responded in a positive manner to the few things I asked that they continue to strive for to uphold the wonderful tradition and history of Woodrow Wilson High School. These are: 1. Development of real allegience to our unique Wilson Code. 2. Increased school spirit expressed by leading in regular school attendance and classroom achievement. 3. Increased participation in school activities. 4. Increased participation in reaching out into our community to help our society and our fellowman. OF OUR SCHOOL My goals for the present are to continue to work for the aims expressed in the Annual School Plan established by Dr. Morlino; to increase involvement of the community in advisory roles; to work for a complete outfitting of the school band for next years football sea- son; to expand the influence of our outstanding Reading Program; to expand the special offerings of our Business Department; to work toward increased individualization of instruction within the existing class arrangement; to assist in a broad school involvement in the Bi- centennial Celebration of our city; to organize an effective club program within our school, with regular “in school” club meeting time; to expand the role of the homeroom representative system of Student Cooperative Association Government; and about a thousand other things that our students and faculty would want for our school. This is a particularly exciting job because of the excitement and job interest of those involved in education at Woodrow Wilson. We have a school that we are proud of and one in which the community can be proud. 113 Mrs. Brett gives register instruction. Mrs. Costner pauses a minute to smile.

Who’s the best? Wilson! Say it again! Wilson! But louder! Wilson! Louder! Gift of youth. This gift was embodied in a mythical ring belonging to a hero, Ogier the Dane. Ogier’s ring not only removed the wearer’s infirmities; it also restored his youth. Try your Balfour class ring 50 years from now. Maybe it can do the same. CHARLES G. MOTLEY - DOUGLAS DIVERS 3110 West Marshall Street Richmond, V-ginia 23230 representing EST CRAFTSMEN Johnny Oleyar, David Nettles, and Juan Choate seem unimpressed with mechanical drawing. Curtis Drake struggles through a Physics experiment. Didn’t you nearly fall asleep during Baccalaureate? We had to be the best Senior class here at Wilson! We always were louder at the pep rally s than everyone else. Aren’t you glad Government and En- glish 12 comes only once in your life?! Too bad we didn’t get exempt from more exams than we did. It sure was nice having front row seats in the auditorium for assembHes. Remember saying how you wished school was all over, but on graduation niglrt you wished you could stay forever! There couldn’t be anyone nicer than Connie Blevins! SENIORS William Bell takes it easy under the shade of a tree. i Phil Harrell keeps his Wilson hat on top of his book-you never know when you’ll need it. JUNIORS We sure did a lot of work for the Junior-Senior Prom!! It took long enough to get here, but it was great! Finally— our class rings got here. Everything seemed to have taken its time this year. Soon we’ll be Seniors. It’s hard to beUeve! Weren’t those Achievement tests enougli tp put you to sleep? And the Senior math test! That was so easy! We sure had enough dances listening to D.J.! Kathy Fields is just astonislied by what Coach Mol- lanhouer is saying about U.S. History! Debra Satterwhite indulges in a book. We are no longer “punky freshmen” thank goodness. Remember all those days everyone else was being tested and we were entertained in the gym? Wasn’t it a break from gym going out to Drivers Education and putting those Volkswagens into third while the teacher wasn’t looking! ! And speaking of gym! It’s the last year we have to take it. Tony Thorton doesn’t think much of James Hurt’s joke. Freshman Orientation sure was full of surprizes! That “sucker” skit the Var- sity Cheerleaders played on us wasn’t really that funny! It seems like well be lower classmen forever. Those Seniors sure thought they were big, but WE KNOW, we out did them at a couple of pep rallys!! f “The gang” is always there to support the Prexies who shoot the rock.
