Becky Collins and Darlene Nicks in a dramatic scene from Raisin. RAISIN THE S N Undoubtedly the best all-time pro- duction by any San Francisco High School was Wilson's Raisin in the Sun. The play itself was very well- known, but when the parts were taken over by Becky Collins, Wilbert Battle, Darlene Nicks and Wanda Ross it became a production to go down in history. Their strong acting abilities, in spite of the fact they had no previous training, were what made it the success it was. The story is about a Negro family that comes into a large sum of money and the problems they have deciding what to do with it. Besides the conflict with the money, there is a conflict with- in each member of the family. Raisin was also the first play at Wilson to be performed as a theater-in- the-round. Another first for Raisin was that it was Mr. Lewis Campbell's first time directing a play at Wilson.

FACULTY 05 S T EDERS The Woodrow Wilson faculty faced a great challenge on December 14th when it hosted the famous KYA Oneders as part of a basketball double-header in the school gym. Before an overflow crowd the faculty put up a gallant struggle but they finally succumbed to the talented disc jockeys. Led by former War- rior great Rick Barry, the Oneders pulled away in the last quarter to score an 85-63 Victory. In the other game Wilson's Championship Basketball Team came from behind to smash the Alumni team. The Varsity was led by Ansley Truitt and Larry I-Iaren. Leading the faculty team was Big Ed Rueda. w t fs, -N .s I- Q 1- 1 t X r -ss. . ft a t , , 1-ffsaeis - - s .: ' - ft ,. fra. :fines f ., . , - .. :-5 , . 1 - 'mf ' : X.
