Visiting colleges, attending conferences, and practice
teaching are the interesting and exciting ways the Future
Teachers of America Club promotes teaching as a possible
career for Wilson students.
Everyone interested in any type of teaching is welcome
to meet with the group, which is advised by Mr. Opilla,
for discussion and activities. This year the group received
its national charter, and members are proudly wearing
their pins.

Lights, camera, action! These are the
familiar sounds from the boys behind
the stage. With rigorous effort, the
stage crew keeps the home lights
burning, making our assemblies al­
ways well presented as Wilson's finest.






























"This is station KS3QU calling, can
you hear me, over." These are the fa­
miliar call letters heard as we pass by
the radio club room. This is a ham
radio club, under supervision of Mr.
Boyce, who is a real enthusiastic ham
operator along with the other club
members. We hope the radio club will
continue to grow in the oncoming
years.

“Guten Abend. Wie sind Sie heute
Abend" is one of the many expressions
heard during the monthly Monday meet­
ings of the German Club. Gathering at
the homes of its members, the club mem­
bers seek to improve their ability to con­
verse in German. Listening to tapes in
German, reading German plays, and re­
lating German experiences are part of
the meeting programs.
The club, sponsored by Mr. Greenhut,
plans activities such as the "Oktober-Fest"
and the annual trip to New York.

Society





Aspirants to the Latin Honor Society
must, to attain membership, maintain a
"B" average and do well on the difficult
qualifying examination. Their principal
enjoyment comes during Initiation, when
prospective new members are required
to do their bidding. The formal initiation
ceremony is followed by a regal banquet.
The Society, sponsored by Mr. Orr, has
as its officers: Florence Jerden, president;
Donna Nash, vice-president; Susan Hinch-

World Affairs Council






















































"Future Diplomats of the Nation?"













The World Affairs Council has proven to be
one of the most relaxed organizations throughout
the varied crises in the world. Their purpose is
to calmly discuss and come to possible conclusions
about the world situation.
Their finale of events for the year was a trip to
the State Department in Washington, D.C., as en­
gineered by AAr. Kurt Greenhut, sponsor of the
group.

Our Business Education Club

The Business Education Club, sponsored by Mr. Collins,
is composed of business students taking the course in
grades 10 through 12. Some of the activities of the club
have included their many bake sales to raise money;
helping out at the hospitals, and the sponsoring of a
dance to raise enough money to send students to a
special conference. We hope to see the BEC Club keep
up its fine record of work for the school and the com­
munity.

Library Assistants
















We at Wilson have had much oc­
casion to use the services of the library
assistants. They perform many duties
for the school, helping Miss Getz to
keep the library running smoothly.
There are many things to be done: sort­
ing and stacking books, collecting fines,
and many other tasks. The assistants
give of their time to learn and give
service to our school.











Student Assembly



Committee
























The Student Assembly Committee,
under the direction of Mr. White, is
a new asset to Wilson this year. Led by
Lynne Milder the committee organizes
and arranges many informative and
enjoyable assembly programs.
The weekly programs, whether sci­
ence demonstrations or musical pre­
sentations, were prepared through the
efforts of this committee.

Wilson Warm Up



Those who remember Wilson High's third an­
nual Warm-Up parade and dance will remember
it as one of the year's biggest events. Preceding
Wilson's first home football game, the Warm-Up
stimulated school spirit and displayed to the com­
munity our willingness to support Wilson activi­
ties.
Then, climaxing the past football season, the
Ram Wrap-Up was held in a tribute to our Golden
Rams of the gridiron. As was the case in preceding
years, the Wrap-Up was packed with laughter
and surprises. We'll no doubt long remember
those crazy costumes worn by the football team
and cheerleaders.

Baseball




Losing only to powerhouse Neshaminy,
Wilson's baseball team completed another
fine season of many successes. With the
fine coaching of AAr. DiSangro, our team
is climbing steadily to higher achiev-
ments.
We have many victories ahead of us
with the help of Paul Horwatt, an out­
. . . . . . . . . standing player in Lower Bucks County
in this, his sophomore year.



Able first baseman Bob Hoch completes a successful catch.























Golf













Wilson's campus becomes active every spring
with the eager activities of the Golf Team. Travel­
ling throughout Bucks County, our team com­
peted with most of the area high schools, and
succeeded to be the first to score against Ne­
shaminy. Their travelling also aided them in their
escape from our camera.
The team has been under the direction of Mr.
DiRico, with the assistance of Mr. Ritrievi and
Mr. Sorrentino.

GIRL'S VARSITY SOFTBALL TEAM
Wilson's varsity softball team did an outstand­
ing job this year and should be justly congratu­
lated for their outstanding achievements. The girls
ended the season with a record of four wins and
five losses. The girls put forth outstanding efforts
toward accomplishing their goal of spreading the
name of Wilson throughout Lower Bucks County.
Under the excellent supervision of Miss Miller
and Miss Barisa, the girls had a season that will
long be recorded in the memories of the girls
themselves and in the archives of Wilson.

Tennis

"M AYBE I'D BETTER CATCH IT."
With only one season of experience to their credit,
the members of this year's Wilson tennis team
managed to grasp second place in the local league
of four teams. Against such foes as Neshaminy,
Delhaas, and powerful Pennsbury, the Wilson net-
men were victorious in four of the six matches. Both
losses were at the hands, of an experienced Penns­
bury team which has dominated Bucks County tennis
leagues for years. On the brighter side were two
decisive victories over Neshaminy, the team which
had been twice victorious over Wilson the previous
year. While hoping to create a more intense interest
in tennis at Wilson, next year's "Racqueteers" will
also be trying to bring to our school its first tennis "BO Y! I HOPE THAT GOES OVER!

Head coach, AAr. Ira Grossman, can reflect upon this year's track season with
a great deal of satisfaction. The team was finally rewarded for many long, hot
days of practice and many previous disappointments. Signs of improvement showed
in all events, and the boys compiled six wins with only four rheets in the loss
column. Several boys made impressive showing in tournament competition.
With juniors Bob Appleton, Ray Beerhalter, Vik Kremser, and Norman Smith and
sophomore Lloyd Branch returning to the squad, Mr. Grossman and his assistants,
Mr. Wise and Mr. Jones, have the nucleus to build an even finer team next season.

" I told you to buy 10 tickets."






Wilson's third annual Jamboree Day took place
on Tuesday, June 12, 1962. The seniors returned
after graduation to take part in the festive ac­
tivities organized by the Key Club.
The games such as the ring toss, and the sponge
throw added extra enjoyment to a day filled with
popcorn, hoagies, and dancing. The 1962 annual
Jamboree Day will be a long remembered event.

"Her Majesty"




Even the teachers got into the act
at our unforgettable pep rallies.









On the evening of Monday, May 14, the third
annual Ramnastic's program was held at Woodrow
Wilson High School. Under the excellent super­
vision and guidance of Mr. Olin, the many ath­
letic games were held outdoors in the football
stadium for the first time in three years. Although
the program was restricted to a single evening,
the resulting fun and action made this year's
ramnastics the best ever. While teams of boys
and girls participated in athletic games and events,
the artwork, bands, cheerleaders, and costumes of
the grey and gold teams were carefully judged.
In addition newspaper patron ads, tickets, and
button sales helped to chalk up points for the
teams. In accordance with the theme "Roman
Holidays," the ramnastic's king and queen, John
Keener and Kathy Bintliff, were dressed in Roman
costumes, and reigned over the exciting program
from their thrones. For the second straight year,
the grey team was victorious by a score of 110
to 106.
