INTRODUCTION 13

Wilson High School this year stressed to the highest degree ever,
the importance of the individual. From the graduating seniors to
the freshmen class, emphasis was removed from the student body
as a whole and placed on each individual student. Realizing a
necessity, the scheduling process and the guidance counseling
were handled on a much more personal, distinct level. There are
no two people in the world that are exactly alike; in Wilson,
students from many different types of backgrounds are gathered
together. Their interests are not always similar and therefore
Wilson must accommodate all types of students that have many
types of interests.

Students with different desires and values were observed
throughout the school year exercising their individuality. While
many students enjoyed sitting on the radiators during the chan-
ing of classes, others were seen in the smoking lounge, socializing
and smoking with their friends. When most of Wilson was eating
lunch, those brave enough, were sometimes seen crossing Green
Lane for a snack at Boyce's. Individuality was expressed through
art, music, sports, and most importantly through education. For
the student as an individual shall always learn more, than the
student that is merely a part of the student body.
