- SOCCER 51




Soccer accomplishes successful year with team effort.



The 1976 Wilson soccer team compiled a record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 5
ties. This was its best performance in a decade. Its league record of 6-2-4
qualified it for 3rd place in Lower Bucks County. The season was highlight­
ed by exciting wins over perennial powers, Neshaminy and Pennsbury, it
was the first time in six years we defeated these schools. Although the
success was truly a team effort, post-season honors were gained by several
individuals. Bill Hibbs was selected to Lower Bucks County Soccer first
team; Chris Marlow was selected to the second team; Joel Viechnicki and
Steve Pucylo received honorable mention. Dan Hibbs and Herb Vinarsky
were also voted to the 2nd team. While this season was good, next season
should be even better. Seven starting players return and will be comple­
mented by members of the winning junior varsity. Once again the team
traveled out of state for an overnight trip and came home with a 3-0 win
over Stonington, Connecticut,


I hope I don't miss.

The year 76-77 will be remembered as a year of transition for the
Wilson Cagers. With a shortage of height and experienced play­
ers, this could easily have been a disastrous season. However, the
pride, the attitude, and the great efforts of all the players truly
came out during the year. The character of first-year players Brian
Schiavo, Tom Weller, Ed Wiley, and Steve Kreshover, perhaps
best typified the desire of the entire Ram squad. Returning sen­
iors Roy Remsburg and Dave Silver provided leadership and
consistant playing throughout the year. Under classmen Greg
Edwards, Mark Austin, and George Nahodil filled the big gap in
fine style and gave a hint of the tremendous potential they pos­
sess. Although unexpected, freshmen Dwayne 'Woo" Collins
and Larry "Peanuts" Raab contributed heavily to the team's ef­
forts. Coach Palmer Toto spent the year juggling players through­
out the game in order to receive the best performance from each.
From the poise and talent exhibited, it is apparent that this was a
successful rebuilding year for the Rams and promises a quick
J j I return to the top for Ram basketball. :;C-, 'Lv -

GIRLS' BASKETBALL 57



Lower Bucks county champions of '77 season



Wilson varsity girls basketball is many things — fun, hard work, dedica­
tion, teamwork, dependability, effort, caring, realizing that you could do
more or do better or last longer than you ever thought you could, accepting
constructive criticism, self-discipline, experience, accepting responsibility,
unselfishness, learning that a small amount done well is better than a great
amount done poorly, poise, committment . . and at times, something else!
Basketball, like life, is a game that you either win or lose. And striving to
win — to be the best you can — is winning. The members of the 1977
Wilson Varsity are and will remain winners in the deepest sense of the
word. Their hard work and sacrifice, their personal qualities, and their
2 accomplishments will remain vivid and alive even after their moments of
glory on the court have faded, because memorable qualities last forever.
The team is very proud of its endeavors — they have established both a
A s I
winning tradition and a fine defensive tradition for Wilson's girls basket­
5 A ^ ball and what it stands for. Congratulations, Champs!

Head coach, Wayne Goodrow, and assistant coach. Bill Schellhorn, are
optimistic about the future of wrestling at Wilson. The seniors on the
wrestling team deserve credit. They made many sacrifices and kept the
team in the matches this year. They set examples for the team. It was
unfortunate that seniors, Joel Viechnicki, John Pollard, Dave Swangler
and Bill Hibbs had to finish their careers with a 3-11 team, but they did
achieve personal goals. Most importantly of all, they proved that they
were men in the face of adversity. Other varsity letter achievers this
year were Joe DiGeorgio, Kevin Finley, Bob Armstrong, Keith Miya­
moto, Dave Haman, Ron Seiger and Brian Goodrow. J.V. wrestlers
were Rick Armstrong, Dale Webb, Steve Derr, Chuck Hill, Kurt Bur-

Tom Cheddar, John Jones, Bruce Bartkovitch, Don Doughty, Frank

Marching band shows off its colors in competition.


Ladies and Gentlemen; Presenting the 1976
Woodrow Wilson “Golden Rams" March­
ing Band, under the direction of Mr. Byron
L. Kindig. The "Golden Rams" completed
its second year of competition. This year's
unit grew to a membership of 102, com­
prised of 70 musicians, a Percussion Line of
16, 16 Silks, 6 Rifles, 6 Majorettes, and an
Honor Guard of 4. The experience gained
during the first year of competition had
inspired high hopes for improved competi­
tion placements this season. The hopes
were more than realized, with a second-
place finish at the 1976 Pageant of Champi­
ons at Governor Livingston Regional High
School in Berkely Heights, N.J. on October
10, followed by three first-place trophies at
the 1976 Tournament of Champions at Jon­
athon Dayton Regional High School in
Springfield, N.J. on October 24. Still an­
other highlight during this season was the
hosting of six other competing bands in the
"Golden Rams" first Cavalcade of Bands on
October 15. The band's award-winning
1976 show opened with music from the
Coronation Scene from the opera "Boris
Godunov" by Modest Musorgsky, followed
by Chicago's "Searchin' So Long". This
year's concert was a medley of tunes from COLORGUARD, KNEELING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Carol Kolinchak, Barbara La Pierre, Valerie Cirko, Lu

During the past three years, the Instrumental Music
Department at Woodrow Wilson has expanded to in­
clude, in addition to the Marching Band, the following
ensembles: the Concert Band, the Jazz-Rock Ensemble,
the Stage Band, and the Percussion Ensemble. The
Concert Band of approximately seventy-five musicians
rehearses during the school day and has prepared two
major performances, the Holiday Concert, shared with
the Chorus on December 18, which consisted primar­
ily of seasonal compositions, and the Spring Concert,
containing a variety of musical styles, ranging from
classical orchestral transcriptions to traditional
marches and pop-rock selections. The Jazz-Rock En­
semble and the Stage Band are closely related organiza­
tions, each comprised of twenty musicians from the
Concert Band who are interested in performing both
big band jazz and rock music. The Stage Band serves as
a “feeder" group to provide training and experience for
future members of the Jazz-Rock Ensemble. Both re­
hearsed after school and at night to prepare for their
April 1st concert. And finally, there is the Percussion
Ensemble, directed by percussion instructor, Mr. Wil­
lis Rapp, consisting of twelve members who perform
all styles of music written and arranged for both me­
lodic and non-melodic percussion instruments. Begin­
ning with the summer rehearsals for the fall marching
season, and concluding with June's Commencement
Exercises, some members of the Instrumental Music
Department find themselves in continual preperation
for one of many musical performances throughout the
school year.

The Woodrow Wilson High School Chorus, under the direc­
tion of Mr. William Hildenbrand, has rapidly been gaining
recognition in the past few years. Primarily, the purpose of
this organization is to exercise the abilities, creativity and
interest of those involved. While receiving enjoyment
through performing, the Chorus also gains experience and
self-conficence through entertaining. Including their annu­
al Christmas and Spring Concert, the Wilson Chorus was
invited to perform at the Oxford Valley Mall this year. They
also have attempted to lift spirits by singing at nearby
hospitals during the Christmas holidays. Each year, chorus
members have the opportunity to compete in the Upper
Southeastern District Chorus and the Bucks County Chorus
festivals, and every year, several participants earn places in
these pretigious choruses. Also, one may recognize many of
the members of the Chorus in past musical productions here
at Wilson. This organization meets daily five days a week
while also attending regularly scheduled group lessons un­ Oh, hum!
der the direction of Mr. Hildenbrand. For those students
with difficult schedules, Mr. Hildenbrand extends the op­
portunity to participate, by holding morning rehearsals be­
fore and during homeroom. We have no doubt that the
Woodrow Wilson High School Chorus will continue along
the route of and the pursuit of excellence. Good luck to a
fine group. The elected officers for the Chorus this year are;
John McNeil-President, Bernadette Dasconio-Vice-Presi-
dent, Dottie Fox-Treasurer, and David Roberts-Secretary.

The Student Exchange Program at Wilson
was created with the understanding that
education and student involvement in other
schools could be extremely different from
the experiences found at Wilson. Student
Exchange permitted these students to visit
various schools in the area — Bensalem,
Council Rock, Neshaminy-Maple Point,
and Delhaas — while the students from
Wilson observed the functions of the re­
spective schools. The insight that was ac­
quired through these visitations assisted
the Student Exchange in determining the
efficiency of the different operations in
Wilson, and demonstrated to these students
that certain improvements could be made to
the school that would prove to be beneficial
to both students and faculty.

Throughout the school year, chosen repre­
sentatives have met regularly with Mr. Bos­
ley to discuss certain aspects of the school
and its functions. With the intention of im­
provement, these representatives have been
"the voice" of Wilson, for their opinions
reflect those of the student and student
body. Many of the topics that were in dis­
cussion dealt with such issues as the Rap
Room, the smoking lounge, the ala-carte
line, the disciplinary and guidance systems,
and many other benefits that Wilson has
acquired and kept through the efforts of
Student Involvement and Mr. Bosley. STUDENT INVOLVEMENT, SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Barbara Meyer, Tony Milano, Lynn

The National Honor Society provides recogni­
tion for those students who have achieved aca­
demic excellence. These students are selected
for NHS by their academic standing in their
class. They are involved in Wilson's extra cur­
ricular activities, as well as excelling and
maintaining a high academic record. The NHS
members also are involved in helping the com­
munity. These students provide the tutoring
program which was begun last year. Within
this program, the club members have an op­
portunity to assist elementary and middle
school pupils who are having some difficulty
with their school work. Through this pro­
gram, the club members can offer some of
their own learning experiences to younger
children.

Although the Student Forum is composed of
only three students, this small organization
provides a necessary function to Wilson.
These students meet with local and state gov­
ernment officials in order to view the concerns
of high school students and to voice their
opinions of possible changes in the high
school curriculum. In order for this club to be
successful, it is necessary to gain information
from the student body. Without student solu­

Students active in clubs that reflect their interests.







The Future Health Professions is an organization for
students interested iln a health career. Since the health
field is varied, it is necessary for students to become
familiar with all the opportunities available in this area.
The purpose of the Future Health Professions is to ac­
quaint students with their specific health career choice.
This is accomplished through field trips, attending semi­
nars, and workshops. Since most of the members are
future nurses, they participate in overnight visits at
Nurses Training Schools. Also, members of FHP are in­
volved in community affairs. Candy and bake sales are
held to raise money so needy baskets may be distributed
at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Projects are also
planned on holidays to brighten hospital wards and
Nursing Homes.

One of the most unusual clubs at Wilson is "The Organ-
ians". Taking the name from "Star Trek", the group is
actively involved in studying and participating in science
projects, dealing both with fact and science fiction. With
interests ranging from Astronomy, Rocketry, Space Ex­
ploration, and science fiction, the Organians meet on a
regular basis, working on projects in school and plan­
ning and participating in field trips to Edmund Scientific
Company, a planetarmm. Solar Energy Displays, and Star
Trek Conventions. The Organians nave published The
Organian Enti'zine, a magazine of science articles and
poetry. Fund raising projects include the popular "but­
ton-making" activity. A miniature Star Trek "Transport­
er Room," has been constructed and will be taken to Star
Trek Conventions for display in the art shows.

The purpose of the Future Business Leaders of Amer­
ica is to strengthen the confidence of young men and
women in themselves and their work; to encourage
young men and women in the development of individ­
ual careers and to establish themselves in the business
community; and improve and establish standards for
entrance into business occupations. To accomplish
some of these goals, the members of the Woodrow
Wilson Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America
sponsored, planned and successfully carried out the
Fall Regional Conference for FBLA chapters in Bucks
County in October, 1976; provided a Christmas party
for Mrs. Rumford's class; sold candy to provide funds
to carry out projects; traveled to the Courier Times and
the New York Stock Exchange; entred contestants in
the Spring Regionals Business Skills Contest in
March.

While other sports test the physical ability and endur­
ance, and mental preparation of an athlete. Mathletes
is concerned mainly with the last characteristic. Com­
petition in the area of scholastics is provided as the
agility of students' minds are challenged with arithme­
tic problems. Unlike most sports where coordination
of effort is important, competitors work independent­
ly on each question. Students from Wilson compete
with thirteen area high schools at weekly meets
throughout a short season, which spans the winter
months. Knowledge in the diverse field of mathama-
tics becomes usefm in solving the problems as well as
basic logic. Practices are helcT during the year to keep
skills sharp and to expose members to new mterial
which supplements their daily math course. Complet-

The students of Wilson High School that are attending the
Bucks Technical School are receiving the best of both types
of education. They participate in regular academic subjects
for the two weeks they are at Wilson, while at Tech they are
involved in any one of 40 different occupational skill areas.
Students receive a thorough education in the fundamental
skills of their chosen trade areas and many are directly
employed before graduation. Others, who chose, are accept­
ed in schools of higher education to further their skills
before entering the world of work. Truly in this age of
technology, the words of Ben Franklin who said, "He who
hath a trade-Hath an estate" are worth remembering.

skilled laborers in years to come. As the graduating class Tech A — pawn shop.
leaves their opportunity at employment increases with a
higher percentile than that of a full time student because the
trend in the work field is following to more skilled laborers
than college degrees. Attempting to set job surroundings as
the students go about their work day is natural practice for
the teacher and student or administrator and student is like
that of an employer-employee relationship. This gives the
students an actual feeling of being "on-the-job". The oppor­
tunities are boundless with the opening of new fields and
the widespread use of technology being used in everyday
life. The Tech School is expanding the opportunities to the
students by opening new classes and updating the equip­
ment that is used in all the classes.

The Cooperative Education Program offers an opportunity for on
the job work experience for eligible 12th grade students on a part
time basis. Students who have specific and definite occupational
intentions attend school in the morning and work for standard
wages during the afternoon. As this is an integral part of their
education, students receive training related to their work exper­
ience. Students are screened by the school so that only those who
display serious intent and appropriate aptitude are given consid­
eration. The purpose of the cooperative program is to provide
opportunity for students to acquire marketable skills and knowl­
edge in an occupation in which they have aptitude. The program
makes it possible for the high school to offer vocational training
in many different occupations where the manipulative phases
cannot be developed in the classroom. It utilizes the employer's
establishment as a shop or laboratory in which the employer
becomes an integral part of the training process of the school. As
part of the Cooperative Education Program, students are involved
in a CO-OP club with elected officers. This year's officers are as
follows: President-Gale Kershaw, Vice President-Jamene King,
Secretary-Sue Giercznski, Treasurer-Beth Young. During the year
the club members are involved in various fund-raising activities
which help defray costs for their yearbook, cap and gown, and
other school related expenses.

Language clubs add cultural flair to Wilson.


The Italian Club was founded in 1967. On its
tenth anniversary of its foundation, the club has
already achieved a great deal. Sponsoring a Bulle­
tin Board in Corridor "B", the Italian Club de­
picts many highlights of an Italian Culture to
enrich the students of Wilson as they walk down
the halls. The club also invited Mr. De Luca,
opera expert of the Italian American Cultural So­
ciety of Bucks County, as guest speaker on the
history of the opera. In December, the club con­
ducted a “Pasta Party" for the faculty. The meal
was cooked by student club members. During
the second half of the school year, the club vis­
ited an Italian restaurant, a slide show was pre­
sented on Italy and invited other guest speakers
to lecture on various aspects of Italian Culture.
The club has thirty members and is sponsored by
Dr. Varani.


After a period of inactivity, a number of new
members assisted the French Club in opening
and successfully completing various activities.
At Christmas, the club's new co-sponsor, Mrs.
Garrett, led a group of carolers in an attempt to
bring “I'espirit de Noel" to Wilson. Mr. Jordan,
the sponsor of the French Club, believes that,

Wilson clubs bring rewarding experiences to members


Students at Wilson are greeted each morning with a
cheerful, "Hi, may I help you?", and as they leave
school each day, tired and weary, there to ease their
burden is the friendly School Store, serving thirst­
quenching coke and other assorted refreshments.
There is no doubt that the brightest, friendliest
location in Wilson is Your Friendly School Store.
Operated and managed by Wilson students. Your
Friendly School Store sells all school needs at the
very lowest prices. It's mottos sums it up: "We don't
make money, we make friends."

Due to discrepancies within the teacher's contract,
the Spanish Club remained in a dormant stage until
early November, and finally opened with the par­
ticipation of twenty students. Sponsored by Miss
Schiffman, the Spanish Club has popularized itself
through its weekly "Taco Sale", and has met twice a
month to organize other types of activities. Having
experienced many elements of a Spanish culture, its
members have all participated in various types of
enrichment, including Spanish plays and perfor­
mances, a meal at a Spanish restaurant in the Phila­
delphia area, and a day visit to New York City to
observe parts of the city's Spanish background.

may fulfill their desire by becoming a member of
the tutoring organization. Under the guidance of
Mr. Larry Bosley and Mr. Bill Kent, this group of
students begins organizing in early September.
Each student tutor is assigned an elementary or
middle school pupil that will be assisted for the
entire year. The high school volunteer tutors the
student during the school day. Hopefully, the
two students will develop a personal relation­
ship, besides helping the slow student improve
in academic studies. The tutors may be involved
with the student in either math, reading, science,
or social studies.

Library aides are student volunteers who assist with the
daily operation of the school library. Without the assistance
of these students, the library could not function as efficient­
ly and smoothly as it does. The aides assure prompt and
courteous service to students who come to use the library
facilities. In addition to taking charge of the circulation
desk, the aides perform a wide range of duties including;
checking out books; renewing books, typing catologue
cards, book cards, and packets; filing; and straightening the
shelves. Library aides work only during their study periods
and are assigned to the library for either one semester or the
entire year. One of the biggest jobs comes at the end of the
year when these students assist in the complete inventory of
all the library's holdings. These students gain an introduc­
tion to a possible career area and learn skills that they may
put to use as a community worker after their formal educa­
tion is completed. The Library Aides are able to perform a
valuable service for their school and for each student who
uses the library facilities at Wilson.

The Rap Room aids students in releiving any tensions or
problems that may arise. The room is open every period and
students can be seen coming and going at all times of the
day. There are discussions on various subjects such as
drugs, grades and family life. Everyone sits comfortably
around the room, speaking with teachers and students, on
an informal basis. Many times other students will help out
their fellow school mates. The student and teachers spon­
sors have a certain period in which their responsibility is to

Students pursue interests in literature and debate.


The Calliope Review, Wilson's literary magazine,
devoted its Spring '77 issue to student and faculty
poetry. It served as a first forum to some forty
young poets on campus who had sharpened their
craft with Fred Johnson, Poet in Residence to Wil­
son under the aegis of the Pennsylvania Council of
the Arts. Subsequent issues have remained princi­
pally of poetry, but have featured also short fiction,
drama, and essays on literary topics. Student editors
are often contributors to the Calliope Review and
decide all major issues of publication and distribu­
tion. The only requirement of the staff is excellence
in the craft of writing. The literary magazine staff
welcomes all types of fiction and traditional, as well
as experimental, poetry.

Once again, the 1976-77 school year was one of
improvement for the Wilson Debate and Forensics
club. The total number of students participating in
club activities grew to over thirty, while the club
expanded its activity to almost fifty tournaments.
They participated in the National Forensic League,
the National Catholic Forensic League, the Pennsyl­
vania High School Speech League, and the South­
eastern Pennsylvania Debate League. The club was
invited to participate in many collegiate and other
invitational tournaments. The varsity debate team
has finished third at St. Joseph's College, shared a
first place trophy at King's College, and has partici­
pated in qualifying tournaments at both the state
and national level. Finally, the club was cited by the

The Yearbook staff has been engaged for a large part of the
summer and throughout the school year developing the
1976-77 edition of the Rampages Yearbook. Much hard
work and dedication was required in completing a book of
this type, and the Yearbook staff has completed another
successful edition, with the guidance of sponsor Miss Fran­
ces Gilroy. Throughout the year. Yearbooks have been sold
beginning with the annual Yearbook Assembly, and the
designing, writing, and "laying-out” of the entire Yearbook
was finally completed. The students involved worked many
hours in the summer, after school, and on Saturdays to meet
its deadlines.

Among the other activities of the Yearbook staff, besides the
completion of the Yearbook, include various fund-raising
activites, like the annual Yearbook Rock Concert, and the
patron-advertising system employed to defray the cost of
the Yearbook.

Miss Gilroy, Kim Kenna (editor), and many other students
that worked with the Yearbook would like to thank Jos-
ten's/ American Yearbook Company for their assistance,
and especially Mr. O'Brien, their representative to Wilson.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS MRS. NANCY JOHNSTON . . . Advisor

Dear Seniors,
The publication of this yearbook marks the end of your stay
here at Woodrow Wilson High School. I hope that as you leaf
through its pages in years to come, many pleasant memories
will come to mind. These fond memories would not be possi­
ble if it were not for the efforts of the many students and
teachers who worked long hours to make your educational
experiences, class activities, and this yearbook a success.
I would like to thank the class officers for the splendid
cooperation that they extended to Mrs. Johnston and me in the
planning and implementation of the many class activities.
Their leadership and plain hard work were responsible for the
success of the annual Homecoming Day activities, the Christ­
mas Ball, the class trip, and the Senior Prom.
Your advisors and the Administration have received numer­
ous compliments concerning the fine examples and standards
of good behavior set by your class at the many functions which
were held at locations outside the school. Congratulations for
continuing the Wilson tradition of representing Bristol Town­
ship with pride and good taste as you participated in these
activities.
Now that we have reached Commencement time and each of
you will go your own way, may I wish you much success and
happiness in the years ahead.

Sincerely,


George J. Hopely,
Class Advisor MR. GEORGE J. HOPELY . . . Advisor
