52 Years Ago in Cadet History…
The 1973-1974 school year—a time of bell-bottoms, vinyl records, and Friday nights under the lights!
That year’s pages highlighted WPHS athletes producing a year to remember and a standout season where the boys golfers earned an enviable record on the course.
Cadet athletes were setting the tone for pride, teamwork, and success!
