Ramnastics 1975 presents the signs of the Zodiac




































































Black Team dancers.



The sign of the RAMnastics was evident in Woo­
drow Wilson's gymnasium as the school eagerly
divided into black and gold teams. On March 14
and 15 the gym was transformed, through the
signs of the Zodiac, into a "mystic revelation."
Mr. Phil Kennedy and Mrs. Linda Miller spon­
sored the Gold Team while Mr. Joe Schein and
Ms. Mary Kearns were involved with the Black
Team.
The sun and the moon guided both teams: Mar­
gie Mielkie, the moon, and Roger Vaserberg, the
sun, for the Gold Team; Patty Voung, the moon,
and Kevin Allen, the sun, for the Black Team. Nik
Nekolieff and Janet Bills were this year's King and
Queen, rMling over all the events.

The competition wav fiierce, but an underlying atmosphere of
friendship dominated both nights. It was not until the last two
events on the Boy's Night that the Gold Team edged ahead to
emerge victorious. Gold Team cheerleaders and dancers added
points and further glory to the triumphant team.

When someone mentions softball, naturally all thoughts
turn to Woodrow Wilson. A perennial powerhouse, Wil­
son proved tough again this spring by getting by arch­
rival Pennsbury to win yet another championship. Mrs.
Schein, mentor of Ram Softball, guided the team to many
key victories. With the likes of Karen Petroski, Pat Young,
and Karen Lelinski, one would marvel at the lack of Wil­
son owning the flag. Congratulations again, girls!

Baseball rallies to great heights but misses first place




"Hopeless," "Cellar Dwellers," "Just like last year,"
were but a few of the comments heard around Wil­
son about the baseball team. And through the first
two weeks of the season, the negativism seemed to
be justified, as the Rams dropped the first three of
four games. Then, with the nucleus of all-area stan­
douts Gary Miles, Don Wolf, and Ralph Vaserberg,
the baseball team won nine in a row on route to a
complete reversal of last year's 4 and 11 record.
Only the last game of the year prevented Wilson
from obtaining its first Section One crown in six
years.

Wilson tracksters struggle to stay in game





The Wilson Track Team experienced a year of bewil­
derment. With the loss of one coach, many partici­
pants, and much enthusiasm, the Ram tracksters
struggled to keep their heads above the cinders.
There were, however, a few bright spots on an oth­
erwise tarnished hurdle. The 880 relay team and tri­
ple jump artist Keith Smothers sparkled in the LBCL
Track Championships.

The Sophomores of Woodrow Wilson High School
concluded the year with the final prom, celebrating
theirs on May 24, 1975, at the L.P.R.A. Keeping to
their theme, "Sunshine on my Shoulder," the cou­
ples were entertained by "Solid Gold," dining and
dancing from 7:30 until 11:30. The banquet was well
attended and Miss Whitty received a bouquet and
Mr. Harm, a pen/pencil set.


Wilson's cafeteria exploded into color and beauty
on May 10,1975, as awed freshmen entered for their
first "prom." Entertainment featured "Wednesday's
Joy" and the evening of dinner and dancing that
began at 7:30 was all too quickly ended at 11:30. The
decorations included a mural on one entire wall and
the theme "Stairway to Heaven" was enjoyed by all.

Junior Class dances to The Gullura for thek prohr






Wilson Juniors emerged resplendent in their finery
despite the rain on April 25, 1975, for the Junior
Prom at The Cullura. "Five Easy Pieces" played as
the couples danced from eight thirty until two in the
morning. Rich Itzen and Lisa Sherbin reigned as
King and Queen for the evening and sponsors Mr.
Voipe and Ms. Weiss received an Elton John album
and roses respectively. The Junior Prom was the first
prom of the school year and was very well attended.

Inn hosted the Woodrow Wilson


Senior Prbrh: -Mernories'' stored

within the heart!



The Woodrow Wilson High School Senior
I
Prom was held at the Hilton Inn in Northeast
Philadelphia on Friday evening, May 9, 1975.
..
"Memories" began at eight o'clock and lasted
until five thirty. Dinner was served, the senior
class officers presented Mr. Hopely with a pla­
que of appreciation, and the dancing was
started by Mr. Hopely. The music was provided
by Kaleidoscope and Stan Klet Orchestra. The
hypnotist highlighted the evening with the
Wilson version of the strip-tease act. Breakfast
at Wilson concluded the evening.
'Just call me Mr. Moss!"

"Linda, what's crawling up your dress?" "And I thought she was a women's libber!''

214 senior class trip -


Wilson's Senior Class Trip was held at



Tamiment Resort. Skiing, swimming,


and "?" were a few of the activities.

"Who's missing a key?"

'This hill sure looks steep from up here!




'Say cheese!" "Where is he?"


Tamiment Resort in the Poconos was the scene of
various activities on February 26, 27, 28. The Senior
Class spent three days on the slopes, at the tables, in
the pool, and in their rooms. Movies were available,
as were ping pong tables, pin ball machines, saunas,
pool tables, and the swimming pool. Often, the sen­
iors could not be found because they were busy
dodging room checks or locating hidden stores. En­
tertainment was provided the second night by Five
Easy Pieces. Tired and weary, seniors arrived at Wil­
son to sleep and reminisce.
