The Varsity Cheeleaders for the 1967-68 school year were announced April11 in the WWHS gy,.

Co-captains of the new squad are Shirley Valentine and Cindee Brouwer. Both are seniors. Other seniors on next year's squad are Melody Wallace, Sharon Moody, and alternate Laura Crim.

Juniors on next year's squad are Sue Harris, Patti Van Dorn, Connie Burbage, Carolyn Blair, Debbie Shaw, Linda Jarman, and alternate Etta Nelson.

These girls were chosen by a panel of six judges including this year's cheering advisor, Mrs. Jo Anne Sweet, and repre- sentatives from area schools.

The cheerleaders have many new ideas which they hope to accomplish next year. It is hoped that four cheerleaders will attend the National Cheerleaders Association Camp at Virginia Beach this summer.

Commenting on the new cheering squad, Mrs. Sweet said, "Although 1 will miss my original twelve, I am looking forward to a very enthusiastic year." Mrs. Sweet is completing her first year as advisor.

THEY'RE ALL FOR ONE: Displaying the unity they hope to organize in the name of School Spirit next year are the 1967-68 cheerleaders: First row, left to right, they are Linda Jarman, Connie Burbage, Etta Nelson (alternate), Shirley Valentine (co-captain), Cindee Brouwer (co-captain), Sharon Moody, Debbie Shaw, and Melody Wallace. In the second row, are Carolyn Blair, Sue Harris, Patti Van Dorn, and Laura Crim (alternate).

Two of the school's three publications:

THE STUDENT and THE PRESIDENT—will have new advisors next year.

Miss Mary Rice, assisted by Miss Joyce Jenkins, both of the English department, will replace Mr. Charles Hoofnagle as advisors to THE STUDENT, the WWHS newspaper. Mr. Ronald Audet, also of the English department, will take over the ad-visorship of THE PRESIDENT, the school yearbook, from Mr. A. E. Landis.

Mrs. Esther Howard, advisor of the third publication, THE DREAMER,

WWHS's creative writing magazine, will maintain the same position next year.

Miss Rice, active in extra-curricular activities during her years at WWHS, was herself editor of THE STUDENT when she was a senior at this school. Miss Jenkins, who has taught at WWHS for the past six years, will be in charge of the business division of the newspaper.

Hoofnagle, advisor to THE STUDENT for the past five years, is resigning his position to become business manager for the WWHS Athletic Association.

"I think Miss Rice will be an excellent advisor, and I'm sure her

advice and knowledge will reflect in the newspaper next year," he said.

"Despite the many problems involved in putting out the newspaper each month," Hoofnagle added, "I have enjoyed the work and feel I have been personally enriched by it."

Audet, in taking over as the chief advisor for THE PRESIDENT, is replacing a man who has been advisor to the yearbook for the past eighteen years. Landis will assist and advise Audet in his new role next year.

"There have been many changes since I first took over," Mr. Landis indicated, "even though the basic

format of seven sections has remained the same."

Landis said that the book has increased from 150 pages to over 300 during the past eighteen years. He also pointed out that there has been an increase in subscriptions from 150 to over 1400.

"It's been a most enjoyable and rewarding experience," Landis commented. "It's nice to know that I'm leaving a part of myself behind."

Like Miss Rice, Audet has more than just a passing familiarity with his new assignment. He was editor of THE PRESIDENT during his senior year at WWHS.

School Teacher Award this year, it was announced recently. The award includes $1200 for excellence in the teaching profession.

Mr. Hinton was nominated for the annual award by Richard Rivin, a member of the Harvard University class of 1967 and a former student under Mr. Hinton. Rivin is a 1963 graduate of WWHS.

Three other high school teachers in the country will receive the award, which is made on the basis of nominations submitted by members of the graduating class at Harvard University.

In addition to winning the Harvard Award, Hinton has been promoted to assistant science supervisor for Portsmouth schools with special emphasis on high schools. Science department head since 1960, he will remain at this position next year andcontinue to conduct physics classes at Wilson

By GLENN BURDICK

Change is perhaps the one reality which man finds hardest to accept. New leaders, new rules, new philosophies, and new goals have greatly changed the life at Woodrow Wilson High School this year. Despite so many changes, the unified and cooperative spirit of the Student Body here has made this year a swift and enjoyable one.

"Commitment to Excellence," the theme this year for the Portsmouth

ance and self-control of students have improved greatly, but seemingly less has been said by the administration to provoke this change. More free dom is enjoyed by students than ever before, and fewer privileges are being abused.

Physical changes in the building it self are testimonial of this new sense of pride for the school on the part of students. Bulletin boards, which were previously defaced when decorated, have been refurbished and have not been mistreated. A new cafeteria dir ector and more and better food have

provoked a sense of pride in the lunch room on the part of the students. Money collected from clubs and classes was used to landscape audi torium flowerboxes, adding to the beauty of Wilson High School.

This past year, complete with changes, has demonstrated the desire of the students of Woodrow Wilson High School to excel, to take on more responsibility, and to earn the respect of teachers and administration. Their desire to earn more freedom is certainly complemented by their ability to cope with respon-

sibility.

The future of Woodrow Wilson High School is hi the best of hands, from the experienced administration to the well-trained faculty to the enthusiastic Student Body. Years of hard work, well-defined goals, and the desire of students to uphold the school's honored name have made Woodrow Wilson High School what it is today, and will certainly continue to shape its destiny in the role of educating the youth who en ter its doors and travel its hallowed halls.

After five years of hard work with this newspaper, Mr. Charles W. Hoofnagle, advisor to THE STUDENT, is wrapping up his last year at the helm of Wilson's award-winning news publication. Mr. Hoofnagle, who took over the job as advisor in the fall of 1962, will continue to serve Wilsonites as business manager of the WWHS Athletic Association.

Since 1962, the makeup of THE STUDENT has changed greatly. Once a six-column paper, it now appears monthly as a five-column production covering virtually every phase of school life.

Under Mr. Hoofnagle's leadership, the paper has been rated as First Class by the National Scholastic Press Association several times and has received the Green Pen Award from the Virginia Tuberculosis As-soication for TB coverage at Christmastime.

THE STUDENT staff of 1966-67 regrets that Mr. Hoofnagle will no longer assume the role as advisor, but it is assured that the paper will continue to live up to its slogan, "The Student's Best for the Students," under its new advisor in years to come.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,"

What a deep, masculine voice to come from a children's readingroom. The voice belongs to senior John Morecock, B217, who has taken over the job as head story-teller to the children at Portsmouth Public Library every Saturday morning.

Morecock reads weekly to appro-imately ninety children averaging from four to ten years of age. He conducts three story-telling periods at eleven a.m., Noon, and 3 p.m. There is no age limit for the children. "Actually, if they're old enough to behave themselves, they can come in, but we don't want any diapers, because I don't know how to change thern" .John stated.

Morecock first began reading to the children last I Halloweon, and since then he has employed such story-telling aides as puppets, dimmed lights, and colored spotlights.

Stories he has told include "Rum-pelstiltskin," "Aladdin's Lamp", "Swiss Family Robinson, "Rapunzel," and Dr. Zhivago. Said Morecock of his improvixation of the Academy Award winning tale, "They especially like it when I told them Doctor Zhivago, but they thought it was terrible that you couldn't get a date in Russia in 1917-everyone was revolting."

The children's reading room was begun to enable mothers to have their offspring entertained while they shopped in downtown Portsmouth. The reading room is located in the basement of the library adjacent to the children's library.

"I enjoy telling the kiddies stories, even though I have trouble with them correcting my grammar," John said.

Having been virtually non-existant for six years or more, the WWHS Mathematics Club has blossomed this year into one of the most active organizations in the school.

Under the guidance of club sponsor Mrs. Dorothy Darden, mathematics department head, the club has held regular monthly meetings this year. Except for two meetings during the 1965-66 school year, there are no records of any previous activity of the club in six years.

Activities this year have included attendance by club members at the student section of the Tidewater Council of the Teachers of Mathematics three times as well as a visit

to the Data Processing Center.

At the November meeting, a guest speaker discussed "Mathematical Systems Without Numbers." In addition to this WWHS students have given lectures on "Non-Euclidean Geometry," "Perfect Numbers," and "Infinity."

The club will use money raised through dues to finance math awards which will be presented hi the assembly Monday. A portion of the funds has gone toward a group picture for the yearbook.

Tom Fuller is president of the club. Other officers are Gloria Worrell, vice president; Deborah Lees, treasurer; and Tom Williams, secretary.

I've been wandering through the halls of WWHS all day while searching relentlessly for a story. Oops! I made a wrong turn into the lost and found section of the General Office.

Hark! That burgundy and chartreuse notebook looks familiar. Hey! It has Clifford Bond's name emblazoned on it with magic marker, so it must be the one he gave away on Valentines Day, mistaking it for a Valentine. Oh well, if I can't find a story, I may as well do my Girl Scout Troop 008 good deed for the day and take it to him.

"Look!" A genuine 1937 MacGru- der government book with "Bill & Virginia" written on it. I wonder if Senator Spong knows it's still here. He could sell it to some freshman who'd never know it wasn't in use any more.

I'll have to tell Peggy Baker that there is a pink plastic Mary Pop-pins umbrella on the last shelf. It

was her favorite Christmas present.

Hmm, one dirty white tennis shoe (size 14) and half of a boys gym suit (waist 54). Wonder what he looks like. Wait, here's a name inside the shoe . . .The Jolly Green Giant.

A head scarf with a map of Portsmouth printed on it is hidden underneath one red rubber boot. A girl could get lost without her "Portsmouth City map scarf."

A Hobie surfboard is propped up against Mrs. Brett's desk because there isn't enough room on the shelves. It seems that the surfboard and the wet suit that accompanies it were found right after the flood in the locker room. I told Ashinoff that there was to be no surfing during school hours.

Wait a minute, there's my Roger Ram Jet handy dandy thermos bottle. It sure is a good thing I came in here, but I've really got to get a move on or I'll never find a story.

Mr. Hugh Tribble, head profession al photographer for the Wilson year book, THE PRESIDENT, for the past eighteen years, recently announced that he is leaving Portsmouth after this school year.

Owner and operator of Tribble Stu dio at 355 Broad Street since 1949 and operator of the Famous Studio for Bridal Portraits in downtown Portsmouth, Mr. Tribble will leave July 1 for Roselle, New Jersey, where he will become marketing manager for National Color Laboratories.

Mr. Tribble has worked closely with Mr. A. E. Landis, yearbook advisor, since 1950. During the intervening years, THE PRESIDENT has grown from a book of about 150 pages to its present size of more than 300 pages. He has also taken Junior and Senior class pictures as well as Junior-Senior Prom pictures. In addition, Mrs. Tribble has served as reception-

ist and has been chiefly responsible for the hand-coloring of portraits. Tribble Studio was the first in Tide water to offer color portraits to high school seniors.

Since a modest beginning in 1949, Hugh Tribble has received countless awards for excellence from both local and national photographic associa tions. In 1957, he was awarded the Master of Photography degree. He has served as president of the Virginia Professional Photographers' Associaton, president of the South eastern Professional Photographers' Association, and president of the Pro fessional Photographers' of America. He now holds a life membership in all three associations.

"I am going to miss working with Wilson High School. My associations with the school during the past eigh teen years have kept me hi touch with the youth of today, "commented Mr. Tribble.

"The labourer is worthy of his re ward. "

These words seem to have been the guiding words for the "Most Valuable" in this year's graduating class. Ginny Oliver was chosen for this honor by her fellow seniors.

"Beauty is power; a smile is its sword."

These words unquestionably describe the 1967 "Senior Class Sweets heart"

Debbie Staples was so chosen for this honor. This is the first time that WWHS has had a "Senior Class Sweetheart"

"I just kept thinking that I can't keep this a secret I can't believe it's me," beamed Debbie.

Jr. - Sr. Prom Set

For Nine Tonight

The J. Leon Codd Gymnasium is the place and 9 p.m. is the time. It's here and at this appointed hour that anxious upperclassmen will see the efforts of many months' work come true as the annual Junior-Senior Prom becomes a realization.

The theme of the prom as well as the name of the performing band is being kept secret by Mrs. Jo Ann Sweet, Junior Class advisor, and the committees working on the affair.

"We want it to be as much a sur prise for those attending as possible," Mrs. Sweet said.

Patricia Kreger, president of the Junior Class, is this year's general chairman of the prom.
