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!

These pages captured the personalities, talent, and pride of Cadets in the mid-80s!

56 Years Ago in Cadet History…
1970: a time of moon landings, peace signs, and a world changing fast.
This yearbook was dedicated to retiring teacher Mr. Reuben Alberding, who gave 21 consecutive years to WPHS, leaving a lasting mark on generations of Cadets.
It also captured the graduation of the Class of 1970 in their final moments as Cadets, standing on the edge of a brand-new decade full of possibility.
As the ’60s faded and the ’70s began, one thing stayed constant: Cadet pride!
