Opening Day

September 7th marked the
opening day of the 1979-80 school
year. Students reunite with old
friends, as the freshmen make new
friends. The scene is a bit chaotic, as
the freshmen search for their classes
and the seniors run to Guidance to get
their schedules changed. Each class
brings a new face. A teacher seems a
bit frightening, but after a while, frien­
dly. As the day progresses and the ap­
prehension passes, the first day of the
school year is over.

HOMECOMING

Dr. Larry C. Bosley—Principal






































Dear Seniors:
It seems quite appropriate that the Rampages
1980 theme is Wilson’s 21st anniversary, or, if you
will allow me, birthday. For most of those twenty-
one years, that anniversary marked the coming of
age, the attainment of one’s majority, adulthood.
Wilson comes of age with a reputation for ex­
cellence, for leadership among Bucks County
schools. The attitudes and accomplishments of the
thousands of students who grew as the school was
growing account for that reputation. And so it will
be in the future. Your own contributions of good
conduct, dedication, and enthusiasm as undergrad­
uates, as seniors, and now as graduates will be the
foundation for Wilson’s continued prestige as an
outstanding public high school.
Each of you has benefitted from Wilson’s
positive reputation. Many of you have contributed
to it directly. And all of you take with you this
obligation to further that reputation.
Proudly and sincerely, 1 offer to you all, and
particularly to the Class of 1980, my personal
wishes for continued pride, well-being, and
satisfying personal success. Your school and you
have come of age together, and the results are there
to be seen and respected in both cases.



Sincerely,
Dr. Larry C. Bosley
Principal

The assistant principals play an important part in
the operation of Woodrow Wilson High School.
Throughout the school year, their influence is felt,
making Wilson the great school that it is.
Remember that many co-curricular and extra­
curricular activities take place at this school and that
each of them must be supervised personally by Mr.
Opalenick, so that all of the activities proceed exactly
as planned.
You must have realized by this time that Mr. Man-
nion is the dynamic administrator who is the guiding
force behind the preparing of rosters, as well as the
schedules for all Wilson teachers. We’re com­
puterized—yes, but someone has to know what in­
formation to put into the computer, and, that person is
Mr. Mannion, the man to get to know if you have a
scheduling problem.
Mr. Ginty and Dr. Rohrbach are very much in­
volved in the lives of the Wilson students. Their
specialty is helping students to resolve personal and
scholastic problems that arise from time to time. Most
of the time students see the wisdom involved in the ac­
tions taken by these administrators; sometimes they
don’t. In any event, these two men, sometimes working

Math Trains Students for




It is our feeling that our mathe­
matics program prepares our students
to become productive and informed
participants in our democratic society.
Many vocational opportunities exist
that depend upon a workable
knowledge of certain competencies in
our computer-oriented society. Quite
often a student’s economic survival
depends directly upon his knowledge
of mathematics. In addition, post-high
school training requires a satisfactory
background in high school
mathematics, so that additional
training might be taken without undue
hardships.
Headed by Mr. DiRico, the
Mathematics Department not only fur­
nishes its students with a basic un­

Use in the Business World.




A primary goal of the Business
Education Department is to prepare
students for careers in the business world.
The curriculum provides courses in
typing, shorthand, business English, ac­
counting, and office practice. In addition,
the Department fosters in its students the
business-like attitudes of loyalty, self-
discipline, and pride in one’s
work—qualities that are needed if one is
to succeed in the competitive world of
business of today.
Under the direction of Mr.
MacGowen, the Business Education
Department not only provides the
necessary course work for entry into the
business world, but also provides an in-
depth understanding of the crucially im­
portant role that the world of business
plays in our society.

Lab and Classroom Activities.




Science education is extremely
important to us today because
scientific research produces a
steady stream of new findings that
must be analyzed in order to be un­
derstood. These new findings are
presented to us in a logical and un­
derstandable manner, adding a
great deal to our study of science.
The Science Department at
Wilson, chaired by Mr. Daniel
Finley, is equipped to present
courses in biology, geology,
physics, and chemistry. The basic
goal of the Science Department is

An Important Part of Living




Speaking, reading, and
writing are linguistic skills
needed for everyday living, and
the English Department at
Wilson attempts to give each
student the opportunity to im­
prove his use of each of those
skills.
The English course work
can be divided into two basic
groupings: the courses offered
during the freshman and
sophomore years, and those of­
fered during the junior and
senior years. The former are
year-long courses, designed to
help the student to analyze the
English language and to in­
crease his appreciation of its
literature; the latter are
semester-long courses for
academic students, as well as for

Teacher’s Direction, Helping the Students.




Our permanent substitute, Mrs. Moran,
is called upon to teach in almost any depart­
ment here at Wilson. She never knows which
classes will need her services next.
Teacher’s assistants help students in cer­
tain classes. Working under the direct super­
vision of the regular classroom teacher, these
assistants provide the students with an in­
valuable service. They provide expert extra
help to those students who really need it to
get an education.

Behind Every Good Man,There’s a Woman.




Where would Woodrow Wilson High
School be without a competent secretarial
staff? Can you imagine the confusion that
would result without these dedicated well-
organized ladies?
The duties of the secretaries are
many and varied, with some working in
the Guidance Office, other in the At­
tendance Office, and still others keeping
the Main Office, the Activities Office, and
the Work Experience Office operating ef­
ficiently. The immediate supervisor of
each secretary assigns her certain tasks to
perform, and she is directly responsible to
him for the performance of those tasks.
As busy as these secretaries
sometimes are, they are never too busy to
help any student who needs their as­
sistance. Three cheers for the Wilson
secretaries! MRS. PHYLLIS KRYWGCKI. . . principal's secretary.

Friendly People Behind the Scenes.




A large high school like ours
requires many service employees
who perform many necessary func­
tions.
The cafeteria employees pre­
pare a hot nutritious meal for over
1,000 people daily and then serve
the meal on the lunch lines! That’s a
tall order! Thank you!
The maintenance workers
keep the building clean and in good
repair, working in some cases
/ during the after school hours. Great
job! Thanks to you, too.
The bathroom attendant

much appreciated by everyone.

Today is gone, but yesterday is near,
The “ todays” are our yesterdays, so cairn, so dear.

Rummaging through sweet reiics of oid.
Rearranging thoughts to stories untold.

Looking back at life.
Looking over the past,
“ Why” ? You must ask yourself,
“ Won’t these dreams last?”

Tomorrow was once here, and it was once gone.
As were our lives, that now move along.

Dear Seniors:
“Coming of Age” is a phrase that comes to mind when one is about to enter the world
of adulthood. It is a phrase, however, that is met with ambivalence. Although most of you
welcome the opportunity to grow up and enjoy the benefits of independence, there are also,
simultaneously, feelings of insecurity and trepidation as responsibilities increase, as
graduation nears. Coming of age, you will discover, is not an easy or an overnight process.
It is a gradual thing for which you have been preparing a long time. Hopefully, while you
have been at Woodrow Wilson, your teachers have helped you to develop values by which
you will live. It is also hoped that you have become a more sensitive human being, tolerant
of values and codes different from your own. By this time, one trusts, you have gained a
firmness of mind, so that you may be resolute when facing adversity. Through your
education, the vision of a better world should become part of a dream which is shared by
everyone. An abiding respect for the environment in a time when the earth is threatened
continually by destruction of every person and thing on it is something that every respon­
sible human being should embrace. More than anything else, you should possess the self-
confidence that evolves with “coming of age.” It is self-confidence that will help you to grow
as a positive, contributing member of the human race, knowing that you can succeed at
anything if you try and realizing that there is no shame in growth. It is that particular growth
with which 1 hope you will associate yourselves.
1 would like to thank the Senior Class Officers and Assistant Advisors for all their end­
less and unceasing efforts to make every senior event a memorable one. Not only were such
activities as the Homecoming, the Christmas Ball, the Senior Trip to Florida, and the Senior
Prom joyous occasions, but they were also growing experiences. Your participation in them
helped you to “come of age.”
God bless all of you. 1 hope that your lives are healthy and happy, but most of all I hope
that they are ever-growing and productive. Seniors, welcome to the world.
Sincerely,
Lou Voipe
Senior Class Advisor, 1980
