The Contemporary Issues classes visited the library on Friday. They were beginning their study of the 1960s. Students enjoyed paging through WC yearbooks from the 60s, books about the time period, and checking out the vintage clothing modeled on the mannequins. What a nice way to connect our current students to the history of our school!
