SENSATIONAL SUCCESS

Page 31 text:

Studying . . . Working . . Practicing Success is an integral part of life at Woodward Academy. Experience has shown, however, that success is not something that comes easily. Through eighty-one years of diligent effort, the Academy has accomplished much and is considered a successful institution by anyone ' s standards. Like their prede- cessors, those in the Academy community of today still com- mit themselves to the ideal of success in every facet of school life. Striving to achieve is an almost universal characteri stic of students, faculty members, and administrators at Woodward. The attitude of maximum and consistent effort explains why members of the Woodward Academy community are consis- tently viewed as worthy opponents in athletic cind academic endeavors. Because of their compelling drive to succeed, the people of Woodward willingly go the proverbial second mile. Perhaps Winston Churchill best verbalized the attitude at Woodward when he described a winner as someone who never, never, never, never gave up. That kind of thinking is what has made Woodward the top-notch college preparatory school that it is today; that kind of thinking «,ill keep it that way. STRlVING 27

Woodward is noted for its achievement in the areas of academics, athletics and fine arts. Academically, Woodward has proved its high standards. The fact that ninety-nine per cent of Woodward graduates attend college and that our students consistently perform above the national average on exams such as the NEDT and the SAT, attest to the overall excellence of faculty members, the student body and the curriculum. Not only excellent in academics. Woodward also exhibits a high degree of achievement in its athletic programs as well. The Academy enjoys a statewide reputation as having excel- lent football, wrestling, swimming and tennis teams. Recently begun on a large scale basis. Woodward ' s fine arts program has quickly risen to the same high standcird of excel- lence found in the academic and athletic programs. Partic i- pants in the Academy ' s Festival Chorale, the drama division. dance and visual arts programs, are regularly commended for their high degree of expertise and talent. Although other successful schools do exist, few. if any. can point to the overall degree of excellence eveident in virtually every level of operation at Woodward Academy. In short, because of its winning ways. Woodward and suc- cess are two words which-in effect-are synonymous. SUCCESS 29
