Mrs. Harding has done a fine job with the choral groups. We at Woodrow Wilson High School would like to thank these teachers as well as all of the students who have worked so hard to give us such a fine music program this year.
DEPARTMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL FLAIR
The Social Studies Department passes on the culture to the students of Woodrow Wilson. The department does more than simply participate in classroom instruction. This 1980-81 school year the Social Studies Department sponsored Black History Week, and the highly successful International Studies Week, which represent-atives of foreign countries visited the school.
The Social Studies Department is famous for sporting a number of Wilson's more eccentric and popular characters. One of the favorite teachers at WWHS is Mrs. Faye Moran. She will be missed by faculty and students alike, not only for her ability to make U.S. History interesting (a formidable task) but also for her charm and kindness as a person. The President wishes Mrs. Moran much luck and good times as she pursues her future life.

New methods and modern machines prepare WWHS students for the demand of a business-oriented society. The need for clarity in communication motivated many students to learn the rudiments of typing,while bookkeeping, shorthand and advanced typing were most valuable to those specializing in a business career.
