Early on the morning of November 11 a ym
ago the echoes of anxious voices filled the auditorium.
It was a very' spc*cial occasion on a rather special
day since this was the week of the unforgettable
"evaluation.” Needless to say, the group of dis­
tinguished evaluators seated in the rear of the room
were more than impressed by the prograrh that fol­
lowed: but,, to those of us—teachers m A students
alike—who witnessed the assembly, more than any­
thing else, it was a very plea^ht surprise.

This memorable occasion was the first concert appearance of the Woodrow Wilson High School Stage
Band; and their excellent performance was truly reason enough for surprise, elation, and jpride since, less than
a year before the band was4 nonexistent. It was riot longl before the ‘band’ would gain recognition and re­
nown by winning 1st honors in the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce "Bands of Tomorrow” Contest in
competition with s§verd well-known, long-established Philadelphia jgrea schools. FiSllowing this, the
Band represented Wilson on WRCV radio and the WCAtJ T.V. program ACCENT. B f virtue of its
proven excellence, the band was invited to perform at St. John Terill’s Lambertville Music Circus
and w|.s featured with none other than the renowned band of Stan Kenton.
The whose competent direction is the energy behind this success story is the orgafr&er and
director of the band, Mr. John Mack. Coming to Wilson mid-year in 1961, through his talent and dedi­
cations, he has built a band whose honors and distinctions are ever-increasing and whose trophies have
filled a shelf in our display case.
Thanks to Mr. John Mack, an excellent stage band has become as much a part of WOson as a
championship basketball team.
It is with pride that we begin to recognize the clubs and organizations of W^W.H.S. by, first,
acknowledging our appreciation of a truly deserving group of students and its sponsors—Mr. Mack and the
Wilson High School Stage Band.

Stage Band

Nationally acclaimed in "Downbeat Magazine,” the Wilson High Stage Band has
continued to achieve much praise for its fine professional abilities. This year was,
at first, a time of general reorganization, but soon Mr. Mack had found capable
replacements for those who graduated from the ranks in ’62. Thus a new band with a
"new sound” emerged to carry on the reputation of one of the best known high school
bands in Pennsylvania.
This year, displaying a talent for presenting a "swinging” concert in the modern
jazz idiom, the stage band was featured on the WCAU TV program "Think Young”
and toured the state performing at many other schools.

Behind the Scenes















Daily attendance lists are pro­
duced by the mailroom assistants
who are (1. to r., standing)
Karen Smith, Beverly Kasper, Jo­
anne Kroouze, (seated, 1. to r.)
Linda Hodgkins, and Christal

Usually unrecognized by the rest of the school, the
mailroom assistants do a necessary job in the school’s
routine— that of keeping track of the day’s attendance
records. Under the direction of Mr. Gobora, the girls
issue classroom passes to late arrivals and supply the
teachers with records of the day’s absentees. They also
keep the state attendance records up to date and accurate
each day.



















State and school absentee records
are kept by (1. to r.) Karen

Majorettes

































Armed with their batons, our lively,
enthusiastic majorettes are an entertaining
and attractive asset to the spirit of Wilson
athletic events. Working closely with the
marching band and color guard, they march
at basketball games, football games, and
parades. The color guard is a well-drilled group
The majorette squad, consisting of of girls who certainly add a great deal of
Donna Eliot, Carol Doane, Loretta O’Neil, color” to the extracurricular program at
Marion Gunsenhouser, Pat Johnson, Sandy Wilson. Performing snappy drills and march-
Gunn, and Marion' Pease, is coached by ing maneuvers, they help much to generate
Miss Wiser. school spirit at football and basketball games
and at pep rallies.
The squad is under the direction of Miss
Wiser and captained by Phyllis Burman.

Student Council

















































Democracy is just as important
in the school as it is in the nation.
As citizens of the country whose
name alone means democracy to the
people of the world, the students
of Wilson High strive to promote
and maintain democracy in the func­
tions of the school. The body be­
hind these endeavors is the student
council, composed of representatives
elected from homerooms and five
elected officers: president, Buzzy
Munter; vice president, Dave Ru-
bini; recording secretary, Judy Tem-
pleman; corresponding secretary.
Dawn Whittig; and treasurer,
Donna Nash.

At Christmas, canned foods are collected and distributed to needy families by our student council.
During the year they also sponsor a car wash, candy sale, and many dances, all of which were huge
successes. Being a service organization, the student council donated money to send the football team to
summer camp and helped finance the yearbook.















62

Key Club















































The Woodrow Wilson Key Club is a service organization which
IS' probably the most active, yet unnoticed, club in the school. The
Key Club is closely associated with the Levittown, Pennsylvania, branch
of the men’s Kiwanis Club.
Under the direction of Mr. Frank Creneti, the Key Club has spon­
sored many successful activities this year. Among them are the
Christmas tree collection, post-game dances after football games, and
the annual food drive at Thanksgiving.
Officers are: president, Mickey Lisausky; vice president, Dave
Lutzger; secretary, Jim O’Neil; treasurer. Bob Orazi.














Michael Lisausky, President, and Mr. Creneti,
Advisor, get their heads together to plan some of
the many Key Club activities.

The Wilson High School Thespians
have a reputation for success! Looking back
over past smash-hits "Brigadoon,” "Annie
Get Your Gun,” and "Oklahoma” it is easy
to see the reason why. However, as the
hundreds who crammed into the auditorium
on all three nights of its performance would
mosc probably attest, this year’s "Carousel”
surpassed all previous productions. Mary
Banta and Larry Scott were superb in the
lead roles of Julie and Billie and the sing­
ing and dancing of the supporting cast were
especially delightful.
The first dramatic presentation of the year was "Teahouse of the August Moon” presented by the senior
class. Excellent performances were rendered by Anthony Valenti as Sakini, the Okinawan interpreter; Rich Fitz-
george as Captain Fisby; Janet Hamlen as Lotus Blossom; and Bob Kaplan as Colonel Purdy.
But to speak of dramatics at Wilson one must mention the driving energy behind every production presented
on .1 Wilson stage— the capable adviser of the Thespians, Mr. William Christian. His worrying, complaining, and con­
stant success at outdoing himself has made the Thespians’ reputation for success.

National Honor Society















By far the most selective
of the organizations at W il­
son is the National Honor
Society. Initiated four years
ago, the purpose of the society
is to recognize those students
who demonstrate continued
academic excellence through­
out the course of the school
year. Besides having to main­
tain at least a 3.0 average in
their studies, prospective
members are considered for
leadership qualities, service,
and interest in the school and
character.

The society s main activity of the year was the annual induction ceremonies; also, in
cooperation with the Bucks County Chapter of the United States Marine Corps, the group
sponsored the Toys for Tots Dance in November to provide toys for underprivileged chil­
dren of the area. Officers for the 1962-63 year include: Pres., Rick Hesel; V. Pres., Jack Oulton;
Sec., Gail Dettmer; Treas., Grace Dieter.

The Business Education Club
is a club for students enrolled in
the business curriculum. Under the
leadership of Mr. Charles Collins,
the club meets once a month and

W ith Carol Huggins as their
president, they have traveled to hos­
pitals, rescue squad stations, and
have performed services in order
to acquaint themselves with the
phases of the nursing career. Also,
the girls presented food baskets to
needy families of the community at

"Good morning, this is the sound of the

each morning as we begin our day. Two
announcers and two directors plus the group
adviser, Mr. Den, report to the office to
announce daily meetings, coming class events,
and achievements of various school groups.










Station engineers include: Rick Hesel, Dave

Everything is quiet— even

scene at one of our outstanding

are suppressed because a feeling

Our chess team spent end­

the championship, although un­
successfully. Next year our team
hopes to bring the championship
to Wilson once again and this
time to stay.



















Radio Club














"This is station KS3QU

quarters of the radio club,
words such as these might be
heard. This club is respon­
sible for the network of wires
which are often strung around
the trees and across the top
of the school. A rather unique
organization, the "ham” radio
club is under the supervision
of Mr. Boyce, an enthusiastic
ham (operator).

School Store






At approximately 2:4l each afternoon "Woody’s
Corner’’ is thronged by students anxious to grab a coke
or to get something to eat before running to catch a bus
or continuing a hard day in extracurricular activities. Here
a relaxed atmosphere prevails as students and teachers en­
joy the usual end-of-the-day chatting and socializing.
The store is also open faithfully before classes begin
in the morning and during advisory periods to provide
the usual needs of the day.
This year’s managers were Donna Nash and Sharon
Waldron guided by Mr. Gobora.

































Library Assistants


































W e at Wilson have had much occasion to use the services of the library assistants.
They perform many duties for the school, helping Miss Getz to keep the library running
smoothly. The assistants give of their time to learn and give service to our school.

World Affairs Council
































Certainly one of the most serious-minded groups in the school, the World Affairs Council, has, as
usual, had a very active and fruitful year. The Council held its first of the regularly scheduled bi­
monthly meetings in October, and throughout the course of the year meets to discuss such topics of
international importance as the Berlin Crisis, and various economic and social problems existent in areas
of'Latin America and the Congo. The latter part of the year was devoted to the investigation of domestic
affairs.
Among the Council’s activities this year was a visit to the United Nations in October; and later, in
April, the group participated in a model U.N. at Wilmington, Delaware.
W ith the majority of the Council’s active members underclassmen, advisor Mr. Greenhut antici­
pates continued and increased success in future endeavors.
Officers include: Robert Massari; vice president, Dave Lutzger; secretary, Anthony Valenti; treasurer,
Neal Dugan.
Math Team





































A new and unusual addition to the school this year was an illustrious group of
mathematic experts known as the math team. Coached by Mr. Boyce, the team com­
peted with other area high schools in series and was one of the most successful
teams in the newly formed league, in a series of meets and tournaments.
The team, shown above, are (seated, 1 to r) Jerome Stanshine, Sandy Schulman,
John Pariseau, and Myer Bilmers; (standing 1 to r) Frank Worthington, Wayne Gilbert,

Council of Debate














































When it comes to the amount of time devoted to serious work
and activity, the Wilson High Debaters have a slight edge over nearly
all other groups in Wilson. As a matter of fact, for 12 months of the
year the debating team is engaged in some phase of the work and prep­
aration which being a first-rate debating unit entails.
Under the guidance of Mr. Petroziello, the debaters begin in June
to research the topic for the coming year; and discussion meetings are
held periodically throughout the summer months.
This year’s activity got off to an unusually early start. Upon invita­
tion by the Pennsylvania Speech Association, the team participated in a
demonstration debate in Harrisburg. The negative team of senior,
Richard Hesel, and junior, Michael Kushlan, along with coach Petroziello
stayed as guests at the Penn Harris Hotel; and while in the capital,
had a special audience with Governor Lawrence.
Although Mr. Petroziello lost the services of alt four of last year’s
varsity team— who, incidentally won 2nd place honors in the Pennsyl­
vania High School Debating finals— those who filled their shoes this
year have continued to maintain excellent standing as active members
of both the Pennsylvania High School Speech League and the New
Jersey Forensic League.
The debaters include: Richard Hesel, Michael Kushlan, Gary Rob­
erts, John Pariseau, and Guy Farrell, Berna Rubinson, Dianne Mann,
and Fayne Kaplan.











72

Forensics Council








































Working closely with the Society of Debate, members of the
Forensics Council spend many afternoons revising speeches and per­
fecting presentations for competition in such areas as original oratory,
dramatic reading, and oratorical interpretations.
In ’62-’63, through their efforts, the Council has maintained its
hard-earned position as one of the leading forensic groups in the
state.
As in the past, members of the Council participated in the contest
of several local service clubs, and have continued to add to the
Council’s record of success in the New Jersey Forensic League. Again
this year the Council ranked above all other Pennsylvania schools in
the Temple University Speech Festival which hosted over eighty schools
from three states.

"We just have to have sayings in the senior
section this year.’’
"Let’s change the color of the cover— something
different.”
"What about the theme? Let’s think of something
really original.”
Finally, it’s September and the serious begins. The
new staff finally begins to think about who’s in charge
of what; write-ups, lay-outs, pictures and incidentals.
Before anybody realizes it, a hideous thing called the
first deadline is staring them in the eyes. Then it’s rush,
♦rush, rush for a few hectic days, but after much diligent
labor the first signature is proudly sent to press.
It may look as though people on a yearbook staff
spend all their time behind a typewriter or fooling around
with layouts. This is not a true picture, by any means;
many hours are spent proofreading and rearranging
and then it’s back to the typewriter and the fooling around
with layouts.
It’s been a long year and those people who were
so full of energy and eagerness a few months ago are
now a weary and less energetic yearbook staff. Most of
the deadlines were not met, but some— well, better late
than never. As for all those new, dazzling ideas, most
of them, we are proud to say are on these pages.
The chief editors of the yearbook were A. Valenti,
Mr. Robert Jacoby, Ad visor
editor in chief; M. Otten, senior editor; D. Nash and
M. Healey, sports; T. Hogue, activity editor. Although
they were the main editors, many people put many hours
of work to make this year’s N O N EXCIDE Wilson’s
finest. One group which deserves credit is our photog­
raphy staff; L. Letwin, N. Perlmutter, E. Stone, and L.
Herman.

job of collecting subscription money for the yearbook. Posters in the halls, announcements over
W.W.H.S., and reminders from the homeroom representatives who make up the organization contribute
to the completion of this task.
In order to defray the cost of the yearbook, the staff sponsors the "Ram Wrap-Up” in the fall
and the sale of patron ads. This year these activities are under the direction of Terri Hogue, Business Man­
ager; Dave Rubini, Bookkeeper; and Jeanne Byrnes, Secretary.

Ram’s Horn

















































The Ram’s Horn enjoyed its most successful year in ’62-’63 under the capable direction of Mr.
Christian and Miss Waters. This year the paper made it out of "the red” and showed considerable profit.
Sponsoring dances, canvassing untiringly for patrons, and, most important, working diligently and
faithfully to meet deadlines, the staff produced the most interesting issues yet seen.
Several new features such as "Orchids” and "Wilson Notes” were looked forward to in each issue.
W ith constant improvement in mind, the Ram’s Horn covered all news and activities in the school
and produced a publication with personality and real student interest.

Throughout the course of the year
the dub sponsored such activities as bake
sales and a carol sing, and has continued
to be one of the most energetic groups
at Wilson. The club has an outstanding
membership of forty students under the
leadership of Robert Lindeman, president;
Victor Miovech, vice president; Virginia
Bendell, secretary; and Cindy Zaikowski,
treasurer.














German Club




"Konnen Sie mir sagen wieviel Uhr es ist?” is one phrase heard at the monthly German Club meet­
ings. Joining to improve their conversational abilities the members also discuss such matters as films seen
on German culture, the annual "Oktober-Fest,” held here at Wilson, and the New York trip on which the
club visited Luchows Restaurant and the oldest German newspaper in America, Staats-Herold. Besides these
the club also had a German catered outing, and sang carols at the Christmas program.
Officers are: president, Viktor Kremser; vice president, Gary Roberts; secretary, Peggy Kurshwidas;
treasurer, Barbara Stiltner; and planning committee chairman, Mary Lee Maciolek.

Teahouse of the August Moon








B
The Senior Class of Woodrow Wilson High School pre­
sented the "Teahouse of the August Moon," by John Patrick,
on November 17, and 18, 1962.
The cast, led by Anthony Valenti, Richard Pitzgeorge,
Bob Kaplan, and Janet Hamlen, presented one of the most
different high school productions.
Others in the cast who deserve special mention include:
Mickey Lisausky, Paul Shaddinger, and Trudi Cooper, and
Dave Rubini.

















The highlight of the evening was felt by many
to be Paul Shaddinger’s interpretation of an in­
ebriated Sergeant who nearly forced the other char­
acters to their destruction.

Hail, mighty Seniors'. Your every wish we'll answer
''JC'e’ve come to worship thee Upon a bended knee



Sponsored by the Student Council, the annual
slave day is a fun-filled day in which seniors
become masters of the underclassmen slaves. ■ After
the underclassmen were bought, they began their
tasks of memorizing the slave poem, carrying
seniors’ books, sweeping the floor, and riding
their "three-wheelers.” As the day progressed, seniors
reported their slaves and slaves reported their
masters; then, at the close of the school day, seniors
and slaves were tried for their "acts of insubordina­
tion.” Needless to say, seniors got the worst end
of the trial.






We'll look at you and wonder And pray we'll never blunder
























At slave court, seniors are punished for
their cruelty.

On Feb. 27, 28, and March 1, the Class of ’63 took
their annual trip to Washington. After stopping at Annapolis,
the spirited Seniors visited the Capitol where the Senior Class
picture was taken. They checked into the Hotel Burlington and
that night saw the movie "Mutiny on the Bounty.”
Highlights of the second day’s touring were the White
House, F.B.I., Washington National Cathedral and the Wash­
ington Monument. The Casino Royal Nightclub was the
evenmc s entertainment where Seniors enjoyed the Angels’
performance very much.
Touring for the third day included the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier, Mount Vernon and the Smithsonian In­
stitution.
The trip proved excellent and was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. They all returned to Wilson tired, hungry, happy, and
glad to be home.

Homecoming, 1962, saw more graduates return to "old” Wilson
High than any other year. The event, planned under the direction of
Senior Class President, Rick Hesel, was the most successful held in
the history of Wilson High. Beginning with a tea for the graduates
and senior class officers, followed by the annual Bishop Egan football
game. Homecoming day ended with a dance, featuring the swinging
jazz and ballad style of our own "Jeff Stout and the Mark IV’s.”

Cross Country

Gilbert, R. Beerhalter, E. Smith, H. Jordan.




This year the Ram harriers, of coach Ira "Bud” Gross-
man, recorded the most outstanding season of any cross
country team in the history of Wilson. Opening the season ¥
with three quick and decisive victories, the Rams surged to
a high position in the league standings, and encouraged new
interest and support from the students and faculty of
Wilson.
Senior pace setters Ray Beerhalter and Wayne Gilbert,
along with Bob Buck, will be missed on next year’s team, but
we are confident that this year’s underclassmen will carry
Wilson to a championship in future years.
