We're The Seniors of the Bunch!
The Power of the school.
The pride and joy of Woodrow Wilson High School consists of fourteen outstanding young ladies. Seniors on the squad include Annie Robertson (captain), Crystal Spindell (co-captain), Phyllis Jackson, Carmalita Jackson, Gail Elliot, and Valvoria Cross. The Juniors are Alice Edwards (co-captain), Cheryl Jefferson, Paula Pittman, Tammy White, Linda Coburn, Benessa Harrell, Kim Langreder and Gloria Jones. The girls began practicing during the summer and have organized several fund raising projects along with the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Darlene C. Jones. These girls not only cheer Wilson’s teams on to victory — they are winners too!
WE'VE GOT THE SPIRIT SO SHOUT IT OUT
Varsity Cheerleaders line up at the fence to cheer on our winning Presidents.
Kim Langreder awaits the pep rally.
Annie, Cheryl, and Tammy give their undivided attention to the game.
Wilson’s spirit is alive and well today thanks to the J.V. Cheerleaders. Under the direction of cap- tains Shirley Anthony and Eve Goldblatt, the J.V. Cheerleaders proved again that spirit keeps a school moving.
This years squad began practicing in August and worked all the way to June. Their work and dedica-
tion not only made several pep rally’s great, but they also gave students a sense of pride for their school.

The 1981-82 “Marching Presidents” enjoyed a successful season. Led by Drum Major Mark Mills
and Drum Majorette Adrienne Mitchell, the band performed at the home Football games. The highlight at this year’s football season was the annual meeting with the “Marching Greyhounds” of LC. Norcom. Both bands performed well. The band also participated in a number at parades. The band tied for first place in the Fish Bowl Parade. The band also competed in the Nordolk State University and Manor High School Band Day in which they received excellent ratings in the performance. The band is under the direction of Mr. Jerome A. Bynum.

THEY'RE WHOLE NOTES . . . OF CHORUS
Choral students have been busy this year with community, city, district, and state activities. Wilson students participated in the Yorktown Bicentennial Celebration, Virginia Honors Choir, Portsmouth’s Able and Ambitious program “Holiday Celebration”, Regional Chorus, All-City Chorus, and All-Virginia Chorus. Choral classes also presented programs for community groups and neighboring schools as well as our own Winter and Spring concerts. In the spring, the chorus participated in the first annual Kings Dominion Choral Festival.
Mr. Warren conducts the chorus in the Christmas Assembly. The chorus practices hard to give a good performance.
