To many public school stu
dents, life at a private school
is a mystery in some sort of
never-never land.
But a group of student
newspaper editors from
Montgomery Blair High have
peeked into this existence
ION the other side of the
mountain"
And what did they see?
They got a first-hand look
at how life at Woodward
School compares with their
own public school life.
TITS more individualistic
because it's so much smaller"
they heard Les Seidel, II,
president of Woodward's stu
dent body, say as they
toured the private schools
facilities at the Central
Branch of the YMCA.
When I went to public
school," Les admitted, Il al
ways joked around and had a
very good social life. Then,
when 1 came to Woodward, l
figured if my parents are
paying for it, I'd better work"
The Blair students didn't
necessarily agree with Les
reason for preferring a pri-
vate school. But they listened
attentively, asked innumer-
able questions, and peered
effectively at every facet of
life at Woodward.
The visit came about after
Blair's Silver Chips ran an
editorial, written by co-edi-
tor Ben Stein, a 17-year-old
senior, commenting on the
old public versus private =
school question.
THE reasons that private
schools are able to give
courses which public schools
cannot are obvious" the
Blair editorial stated, "Pri-
marily, private schools can
select their student body.
And they select only those
students whom they believe.
by reason of intelligence or
family background, will be
good students. Public schools
must admit any student.
Further, since enrolment is
limited, private schools can
afford to give more time to
individuals, often even tutor
ing services"
But, the editorial contin-
ued, Public schools are Su-
perior to private schools as
preparation for adulthood
This is true for one main
reason. A public school stu
dent daily meets a cross-sec-
ton of American youth. This

Sara asked John when his
school started this year.
Three days after yours, on
September 8. We graduate
June 6, and our vacations are
the same. The tuition is $500
a year, and that includes our
books, except for our health
book"
When the tour reached
WoodWard's student assembly
room, the teen-agerS paused
for more group questions and
answers. One question that
was asked: Where do Wood
wards students mostly come
from?
Les explained, woodward
boys come from all economic
levels - from Mob Hill to
Southeast. We have boys
whose fathers do all differ
ent kinds of things"

ciate editor of the Triangle.
added, "One boys father is
a bricklayer, and ones father
is vice president of West
inghouse. But we don't say,
Hi, how's your br;cklaying
father?'
Most of our students don't
start school here, so they're
not so insulated. The boys
come from Annapolis and
Manassas. They commute
from an area that extends
80 miles in diameter. They're
from all parts, not just one
area as in a public school,"
But" said Becky. I'VE

and any can be my friends
if I want to meet them. I
can meet them at basketball
games"
Asked John: How many
Of the $500 do you really get
to meet and know? We have
140 in the 10th through the
18th grades at Woodward.
Everybody knows each other.
Our classes average 16 to 10
students"
Public schools have for
eign exchange students"
Becky pointed out.
But we have plenty of

they're not on an exchange

The Blair students wanted
to know more about Wood
wards newspaper.

A bell rang. and classes
changed. One of the lower
school grades three through
six boys bounded by in the
hall.
Bob Lawler said, Hi" and
patted him on the back.
Later, Les gave a happy
good-by to another lower
classman outside the school.
Are you all always so nice
to the little guys?" asked
Sara, a little wide-eyed.
I'VE have to look out for
them or they'd get trampled."
said Bob.
At the end of the tour.
after they had looked in on
several classes in session, the
Blairites were given Wood
ward yearbooks and hand
books. Sara and Becky were
surprised to see girl cheer
leaders pictured at a Wood
ward School for Boys sports
event.
The boys explained that
they borrowed" girl friends
who are cheerleaders at other
area schools.
AS they were saying good
by, after the Blair editors
had invited the Woodward
editors to pay a return visit
to their school, Sara had one
final question:
Don't you find social life
at a boys school confining?"
NO" answered John
quickly. Mine has expanded.
I can date a girl from Ham
mond High and one from st.
Agnes and one from George
Mason High, and they never
meet each other"

students acquaintance are
not drawn from just one cul-
tural or economic level.
Hence he becomes familiar
with the thinking of all types
of people. He is not insu-
lated, as private school stu
dents tend to be, from the
main-stream of contemporary
life"
Woodward's Triangle an
swered Blair's editorial with
a column by Bob LaWler, IT,
an associate editor of the pa
per. Bob wrote:
1--WE are not isolated. We
know just as many people
as the students at Blair, we
attend just as many parties,
but we have more freedom.
Perhaps the private
school student is a bit iso-
lated, but only in the pages
Of Who's Who in America
May I remind the editors over
at Blair that these private
school students from all over
the world have done a bang
up job of keeping in the
'mainStream of contempt
rary life and also have done
a very fine job of working
with types of people their
ignorance prevented them
from knowing"
Then the Triangle column
went a step farther. 1t con-
Guided:
1.-The editors of the Tri-
angle would cordially welcome
a visit to our school by the
Blair editors. Well show
them what a private school
is really like; and you never
can tell, they might like it,
too"
Blair's editors quickly &C
copied the invitation.
When the four Blair edi-
tors, accompanied by their
photographer, Jim Hall, ar
rived at Woodward, an all
boys school, they were met
in the YMCA lobby by sew
eral Woodward students,
some in their school blazers.
AS the student-guided tour
went viewing on the two
floors of classrooms. they
stopped first at the US mems
gymnasium. Les explained
that only Woodward seniors
can use the mems facilities.
All students in the lower
classes use the boys gym at
the Y.
Becky Cooper, II, a Blair
senior, found out from John
Diehl, editor of the TRAN
gle, that Woodward plays
other schools in sports and
uses part of the park grounds
for football and baseball
!. practice.
Sara Barber, 18, co-editor
with Ben of Blair's Silver
Chips, watched a gym class
of Woodward boys taking
boxing lessons. She learned
that every boy has a gym
period, even in the third
grade, and that every other
day of gym is a swim day
in the US pool. But the SEN
iorS have senior privileges
and don't have to take gym.
The Blair students were
impressed and surprised to
find that the Woodward stu
dents can finish school by
lao pm. and still carry five
majors. The Woodward
School day starts at 8:45 am
and the seventh period ends
officially at 800 pm.
Allen Snyder, Blair's CO.

he takes. He answered:
