The Woodrow Wilson Rvompoges dedicotion is o greot honor, for on
outstanding individual, who dedicates himself to the students of our school. This
year the 1979 staff proudly dedicates this edition of Rampages to Mr. Lou
Volpe.
Mr. Volpe is one of the busiest people in our school. First thing in the morn­
ing, he begins his day working with the senior doss officers during homeroom, os
one of their advisors. Thanks to his help and his effarts, the 1978-1979 schoal
year will be unforgettable for most seniors. Mr. Volpe has worked hard with the
afficers all year to moke Homecoming, the Snow Doll, the Forido trip, the Senior
Prom, and Graduation memorable events for everyone,
Mr. Volpe goes to his classes like oil other teachers, but Mr. Volpe's teaching
differs from most other teachers; his sharp wit and out-going personality, creotes
interest in every ospect of English. He not only teaches the regular English
courses, but olso, the gifted progrom for seniors ond tech dosses, of which he is
also on odvisor.
After school the real work begins. As director of the school musical, his hord
work and dedication is most evident. His productions ore olwoys eogerly an-
ticipoted.
Aside from oil these activities, Mr. Volpe always finds time to be with the
students. One can see this fashionable mon joking ond tolking with students
throughout the day.
Mr. Volpe, the yeorbook staff cordially thanks you for oil your time, work
ond efforts, which you willingly put forth. We will olwoys remember you, not on­
ly as a hord working teacher ond odvisor, but also os a close ond speciol friend.
Thanks.

The first day of school this yeor
created o koliedescope of feelings. An­
ticipation for the coming sports seoson,
people looking forward to o year of vic­
tory, especially the footboll teom, The
freshmen were o little opprehensive
ond uneasy In their new school. But the
seniors were hoppy to be bock and
looking forward to oil the fun ond ac­
tivities ahead. Mony students were o lit­
tle disappointed because their
schedules didn't include everything they
wonted. As the first day’s apprehension
disoppeored, it was replaced by o busy
doy's octivities; finding classrooms ond
teachers introducing themselves. At the
close of the day, many students were
happy to hear the 2;15 bell and to
close the first doy's dosses.

Homecoming wos on October 7.
1978, during the day. The bright and sunny
weather odded to the beouty and excite­
ment of the day. The climox of the doy wos
holftime festivities. Disappointed by the
foct that the Roms were losing 6 to 0 ot the
end of the half, the crowd grew excited os
time grew neor for the crowning of the King
and Queen. Although the choice wos dif­
ficulty, the Senior Closs proudly crowned
Lisa LoMonico, queen ond John Cosole,
king. The other nominees were: Kuthonne
Brockwoy, Michele Broillet, Donno DeBiggi,
Kim Hodges, Wendi Houser, Phyllis O'Neal,
Bob Armstrong, Ted Emeigh, John Henry,
Mike Joconski, ond John Koch.
The winner of the float contest was o
difficult choice, since oil the floats were well
decoroted. The winners, o combined effort
of Freshmen and Sophomore dosses,
represented summer sports. Even though
the gome wos lost, the donee thot evening
was Q success.

„,J'. s. I,
Every year Wilson has o different fad
and this year it seems that everyone is spor­
ting the lotest fashions. For some reason,
fashionable clothing seems to be the "in
thing" among Wilson students. It's not
unusual to see people flaunting their stylish
clothing or people gov^King ot those weor-
ing them.
I From bulky sweaters and the layered
look, to slinisy disco outfits, mony styles of
dress ore exhibited. Everyone seems to be
getting into the croze, including some of
the faculty members, who dress like
models from Vogue mogozine.
Even hairstyles ore adopting to this
fashion croze. Not only ore girls getting
perms and body waves, but the guys ore
showing their flair for style by wearing the
curly fro. Wilson is certainly showing off its
doss with style.

I f r






































Bright and early, on the morning of November
15, I978, Wilson's auditorium wos the meeting
place for those seniors who attended the annual
trip to Washington D. C., sponsored by the Social
Studies Department. The trip not only proved to be
educotionol, but olso provided pleasure for oil. Mr.
Monnion and Mr. DiSongro led the seniors through
this historical city, the copitol of our country.
The Closs of 1979 hod on enjoyoble day visit­
ing such places, os the Arlington Notional
Cemetory, o guided tour through the Capitol
Building ond o tour through the White House. It is
certain thot the events of the doy, from buying
flowers from o solesperson, to shaking bonds with
representative Peter Kostmeyer, will be long
remembered, by the Senior Class of 1979.

Classes at Wilson ore most often held inside the
classroom ond this is where o student's formal educotion
ond learning experiences begin. But by no meons ore
leorning experiences limited to the four walls of the
classroom.
During dosses, before ond ofter school, students
always find time to migrate to the outside of the school
building. As these outside meetings convene, students ex-
chonge news ond hoppenings of the school day. If the
students seek any kind of informotion, the best place to
seek the answer is the smoking lounge or other outside
haven.
Those few moments that the student has outside of
the classroom ore important to him or her. Time is provid­
ed for the students to unwind ond toke o breother before
the next doss. Some students might use their freedom to
cotch o smoke or rop to o friend about lost night's bosket-
boll gome. Whotever the reoson, Wilson students enjoy
their moments of reloxotion from the classroom.

RAMPAGES represents o pictorol
record of the people and events of
Wilson's year of 1978-79. The yeor-
book endeavors to capture every­
day happenings ond speciol
moments ot WWH5. It is important
to revive those memories of the
homecoming festivities and the
heartfelt loss of the gome, fright
frolics, with the costumes displayed
ond pie eaters, and the senior doss
tour of Woshington D.C., ond the
eventful meeting with represen­
tative Peter Kostmeyer, Many other
events happened that year, such os
the troditionol Wilson donees, the
Snowball and the proms, ond sports
gomes, os well os the doily events,
such os lectures, lunches, and hang­
ing out. The yearbook staff hopes
thot this pictorol essay will aid your
remembrances of Wilson ond the
KALEIDOSCOPE of experiences that
occurred to each one of you.

School Board hod multiple responsibilities.





The school boord has the difficult
task of monoging o school district.
These people hove o great responsibili­
ty within such o large district os Bristol
Township. The men and women sen/ing
on the board must moke decisions that
will hove o great effect on both the pre­
sent and future of this district so each
problem must be carefully thought
over. They must listen and respect the
opinions of the district's population. It is
impossible to please everyone in every
decision that is mode and many times
people ore unhoppy with o decision of
the board, but it is important to keep in
mind that the members olwoys do
whot they believe is best for the district.

Wilson offers variety of lob and doss activities





Science education is one of the
avenues which utilizes and chollenges o
student's obilities and innate curiosity
about the world in which he lives.
Science is essential to the interpretotion
of the noturol phenomena and is impor-
tont because of its function in
estoblishing heolth, economy and safe­
ty in life. This experience is centrol to
meoning and provides students with
materials that evoke experience. While
one of our aims for providing o science
experience is to help students obtain on
understanding toword their environ­
ment, it is also our aim to see that the

One af the mast exciting aspects af the

students have the oppartunity to use
the mony grammatical structure and

ed in class in real life situations. Finally

ing not only on oworeness ond op-

and the economy ore presented to the students






Instruction throughout the Sociol
Studies Deportment is geared to the
academic levels of the students. Classes
ore grouped according to reading abili­
ty so the teachers may better meet the
needs of students of varying ability.
Course work and course reguirements
ore determined by the overage ability
of each doss. The Department seeks to
offer students on opportunity to acquire
the knowledge about their country’s
heritage and America's world relation­
ships, that will enoble them to become
interested, informed, active, ond effec­
tive citizens in our democratic society. In
oddition, for students who wish to
become more informed about
themselves and the non-political institu­
tions of our society, we offer full-yeor
courses in Sociology and Psychology.
We believe that we offer o balanced
curriculum, featuring both required ond
elective courses, that will enoble the
sincere student to become familiar with

like ottitudes ond responsibilities, to fur­

Support given to educators by aides and subs.




The permanent substitutes and the
teacher's aides pravide the schaal with
ane af it's mast basic needs: help ta the
teachers. It is nat easy being a perma­
nent sub, jumping from one class to
onother doy after doy, sometimes not
even having on emergency lesson plon,
but Mrs. Urbonek and Mr. Evons seem to
be handling this extremely well. They
help keep the school day running
smoothly for all those affected by the
absence of the teocher. The teacher's
aides don't hove an easy life. They must
do the necessory things that a regular
teacher does not hove time for. Without
these cooperative and understanding
people, the teoching staff would be lost
during the doy. The yearbook staff
would like to extend their thonks to the
permanent subs ond teocher's aides.

It takes many hard-working people
in order to keep Woodrow Wilson runn­
ing efficiently and many of these peo­
ple ore overlooked. The cafeteria
workers and custodians ore the people
whose Jobs ore very important, but no
one really seems to recognize their
significance. Our school day begins ot
8:00 Q . m . and ends at 2:15 p.m., but
for these employees there ore no time
limits. They keep on working until the
Job is finished. When we walk the
hollwoys or eot lunch in the cafeteria,
do we ever actually stop to realize the
time and effort these people hove
spent so that we may hove o nutritious
lunch everyday or hove o clean choir to
sit up. We think these people deserve
recognition for oil the work they hove
done.
