Woodrow Wilson High School was founded sixteen years
ago in 1959. Its past cannot be called stormy, although calm
is hardly the word. The very recent past has seen Wilson
weathering two severe teacher strikes, several dangerous
periods of student unrest, a damaging fire, and a complete
turn-over in administration. Last year brought a new princi
pal, a return to the status of a four-year high school, and a
new contract for teachers, but the school was so torn apart
that it was only in the following year, 1974-75, that Wilson
was to realize the new effects of last year's hard-earned in
novations. Good and bad were both felt in 1974-75, but the
new vision, the vision of hope remained: the Wilson with its
face toward the sun and the shadows of the past left behind.
