H. O'May. This group meets regularly during the third period, five times a week, in the High School Auditorium. Our Band has a five instrumentation including Bass and Alto Clarinet, Bassoon, Baritone Saxo- phone, 0boe,and Tympani, as well as Clarinets, Cornets, Trombones, Baritones, Flutes, Basses, Drums, and French Horns. Many of the above are school owned instruments. We are also proud of the fact that we have a full set of uniforms, as well as a library well stocked with numbers from Jive to Concert. The members of our Concert Band form the nucleus of the Marching Band that performs for football games, the Pep Band that plays for Basketball games and the various Ensembles that give public performances and do contest work. Membership in the Walnut Band is open to all who have had previous experience on an instru- ment and are willing to keep up the traditions of the organization which include regular attend- ance,practice, interest, and active participation. Our goal is complete instrumentation, and better rehearsal accommodations.

The chorus meets regularly, in the auditorium, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, during fourth period. lt is the purpose of this musical project to promote inter- est in vocal music, help to create school spirit, provide an outlet for those of talent, provide a source of material for smaller ensembles, and to teach group singing. As in the other phases of vocal work, the repertoire of the Boys' Chorus extends from serious, to light entertainment num- bers. Examples of material used are: Indian Serenade, Cherubim, When Good Men Sing, We Sail the Ocean Blue, Foggy, Foggy Dew, Hail Bright Abode. Most of the num- bers used are four part alto. Some three part songs are in the library. e . a , o Q S White, Truwfence HHS!-arry C0n7Gus1-afson mind gsm Sfy, Ed ey, Ron .

The members of this group are selected for their vocal ability, desire to sing, reliability, and experience. They meet regularly, once a week, sixth period, on Wednesdays.

Q 4' 4' A 7 Y as At the beginning of the 1955 football season, 'Big Chief O'May', our music director, started drilling the band in for- mations, marching, and playing while marching. For our first game, the band traveled to Princeton to perform with the Princeton band. Providing it was not raining, the band per- formed at all the home games and were led through many unique formations by our majorette, Marilyn Gallentine. This year in the llomecoming Parade, the band was an outstanding attrac- tion. Seven attractive twirlers were added to our group this year, headed by Norma Stone. They were: Sharon Gloden, Joyce Marching Band ie I Henley, Ramona Livey, Louise Bell, Katherine Weerts, and Carol Krager. These 'Indian Maidens' twirled while the 'Braves' of our band went through their intricate maneu- vers. Through hours of diligent work, the band perfected many interesting formations such asg 'Little Red School House', Grandfather's Clock', 'The Old Gray Mare', 'Spinning Wheel', 'Little jack llorner', and 'Marching Words'. The 'Marching Band' as usual was a main feature for every home foot- ball game and was the nucleus of our pep band that played for each home basketball game. 34- Entire Choral Group umor Gxrls Sextet Festival of Muslc March 23 Semor Guls ' Chorus Boys' Chorus Vocal and Instrumental Boys' Octet The Ween-ts Sxsrers Concert Band W 5 aff!

WEEK During the week of October 30 through November 5, the maidens of the Future Homemakers of America were very busy in F.H.A. Week activities. The girls presented bouquets of flowers to all of the Walnut Churches as their part in recognition of the place of religion in our lives. Twice during the week the girls came to school arrayed in all of their tribal splendorg one day wearing clothes of red and white, the F.H.A. colorsg another day wearing their best clothes. At the beginning of the week, the girls made favors and presented them to Princeton hospital. As part of the ceremonial attire, the maidens wore their F.H.A. pins every day of that week. The F.H.A. maidens held a heap big pow wow on February 14, 1956, to initiate all new members. The victims wore an apron, white ribbon on their heads, and a-dish towel over the arm to school that day. Emblem service was held that night. The F.H.A. Girls of Walnut were host to the other members of this section at a rally held March 10, 1956. Members of the F.H.A. exchange names a week before Valentines Day to select a 'Sweetheart Sister. Then during that week they do special favors for the girl whose name they received. -33- State President - Joyce Norden F.H.A.

Soon after this, the successful candidates were announced and the campaigning began. Everyone did alot of serious thinking before cast- ing their votes for the best man for the job. The big pow-wow Celectionj was held on September 26, 1955. The two major tribes were the 'Free-Wheelers' and the Liberals'. The victorious tribe was called the 'Free Wheelers .

Every Monday evening has been set aside for staff meetings, which are held in the commercial rooms, and it is at this time that most of the work is done. The selection of a printing company, a theme for the book, type of material to be used and general design of the book were questions that had to be settled before any actual wcxk could be begun. Then came arrangement of layouts, writing of copy, drawing of designs, listing of names, num- bering of pictures, and many other tedious chores. One of the greatest problems for the staff, was raising money to pay bills. This was accom- plished by selling advertisement space to merchants and professional people in Walnut and neighboring towns. The sale of the books themselves plus a candy sales campaign in our school, contributed a share to the annual account and the sale of individual pictures helped our treasury. Many hours of thought and hard work have gone into the making of this annual and many long evenings, although enjoyable ones, have been spent in staff meetings at the High School. We hope our efforts have not been in vain. Paper Staff The school paper is published by the Junior Class of Walnut High under the capable leadership of Mr. Roush.

Under the watchful eyes of the Elders of the Raider Tribe, the all-powerful Chiefs CSeniorsJ conducted the Initiation Cere- monies. Squaws and young Braves alike, were garbed in true Indian fashion. Long cotton nightgowns, with attached tails re- presented their close kinship to the animal 'Freshman-imus . Legs were wrapped in guaze according to a prescribed ritual and traditional markings were painted upon their faces. All of the young Papooses passed the tests, displaying true Raider fortitude and bravery. They are now recognized as true Raiders, and take their places around the Council fires. Welcome to our Wigwam! Visiting Tribesmen To teach the important Indian trait of silent stoicism, feet were tethered close together, bas- kets were heavily loaded to instill long-suffering patience in their minds. Ancient tribal chants were uttered by the Papooses, as they knelt in deep reverence before the Senior Chiefs. Though these chants lose some of the spirit in the trans- lation, they strongly resembled the Walnut Raider Cheer. In the evening, the Papooses faced their most severe trials. Brought before the Council, they were individually subjected to tortures both phy- sical and mental. On October 13, the Princeton Tiger Tribe sent visitors to en tertain us with their Minstrel Chorus Their Big Headman, Dennis Keleher, conducted the Pow-wow in fine Indian tradition. Several of the Medicine men chanted for us Raiders - Bryan Foster, 'If I Was What I Ain't, Instead of What I Am , Ken Allen, 'Come Back to Sorrento Dick Hull 'Old Man River . The Council joined in chanting 'Alabama Jubilee , 'Till We Meet Again', 'Moon Glown, and other tribal selections. They closed with their Princeton School Song and we agreed it was one of the finest student programs we have had. ..j0. Homecoming Another Homecoming of our Raider Tribe has come and gone. The 1955 Homecoming was held on the weekend of October 28 and 29, during a season which the Gods of our Fathers must have been angry, for they punished us with a weekend of rain and cold weather. The Homecoming Parade was held Thursday afternoon at 2:30, the only time that the sun shone and our moccasins were not wet. The entries in this ceremonial were the Grade School Band, the High School Band, the Grade School Buses, the Freshman Float bearing the title 'Grind Bradford into the Gridiron , the Sophomore Float entitled 'Cage those Panthers , the junior Float carrying the sign, 'Bradford's All Washed out , and the Senior Float carrying the blood-thirsty quotation, We're Going to Whip Bradford'. The Modern Wood- men also entered a float. The Sophomores won the float contest. The Queen's Court was carried in two oxcarts fconvertiblesj proceeding the Queen and her two escorts, Don Gustafson and Bob Von Holten, co-captains of our braves. The Tribal Campus was the scene of the Pep Rally pow wow, Thursday night. A bonfire lit the field! The pep band played a few inspiring songs on their tom toms! The cheerleaders, fired with fire water, led some peppy cheers and then called upon the three coaches, Mr. Bruss, Mr. Vail and Mr. LaRussa, to give some pep talks to the braves and the crowd. After these exhaltations the tom toms played more songs. The cheerleaders led the crowd in the tribal song while forming the line for the snake dance. The line paraded the reserva- tion and then after forming a circle and doing the Hokey Pokey, did the Tribal Chant and disbanded. Friday night was rainy and dismal, but no matter, the battle took place. The crowd was small. The field was on 'mud puddle . The game was hard fought and well played with the Raiders winning 14-12. THEM H'-XNUEIZR The highlight of the Homecoming weekend was the dance on Saturday night well attended by both students and adults. The gym, decorated in Royal blue, sky blue, and white, was worked around the theme, 'Stairwayto the Stars . joe DeZutti and his band played for the dance and the intermission program consisted of the boys octet singing 'Moon Glow' and 'This Train , and Ronnie Burkey singing 'Earth Angel . 'P' NW- Immediately following the intermission the band started play- ing soft background music while a white carpet was being spread. Y, wiv As john Bolz, the Chief of the Night, began speaking, the Home- coming Court entered the gym. Ann Etheridge and Roger Ander- son were the first couple. They were followed by Joyce Norden and Darry Burkey. Next in line were Mona Weerts and Bill Edson. The last of the Court was Norma Stone, escorted by Doug Ether- idge. Queen Carolyn Williams was then presented to the crowd and was escorted in by the co-captains. Don Gustafson presented her with a crown of mums and roses, and Bob Von Holten pre- sented her with a bouquet of roses. The music then increased in volume and the Queen, her Court and their escorts entered into the Queen's Dance. Congratulations to the Freshmen for having such tasty refresh- ments, to the Sophomores for the eye-catching decorations, the juniors for getting such talented intermission entertainers and the Seniors for contracting such a rhythmical band. A long, loud, and never-ending ovation should be given to the 1955 Raider team and their three coaches for making our Homecoming such a success. 3 N. . ,.., .yet . ., M... .,,gee,, 9 . fa-'QQ ROW ONE: Norma Stone and Joyce Norden.

At one o'clock the Student Council enter- tained the student body by presenting the show 'So Big' for them to see. After the show, the students returned to the gym for the exchange of gifts. Santa Claus, portrayed by Mr. 'Chuck' Vail, made his appearance and helped members of the Student Council dis- tribute the gifts. Refreshments were served by the Future Homemakers Club. School was dismissed at three o'clock for a two weeks vacation. Christmas Dance v 1 6 Christmas Parqf The G.A.A. and the F.H.A. sponsored a Christmas Dance on December 22 in the High School gym. The dance carried the theme of Winter Wonderland. A big tree stood in the cen- ter and was a mass of lights. Other trees were placed around the gym with imitation snow on them. The 'Combalaros' played from a snow fort band stand. The scene beneath the bal- cony was a ski resort with the big windows looking out into the Winter Wonderland. At intermission the boys octet sang a medley of Christmas carols. They finished by singing White Christmas and inviting the audience to join in the last verse.

The Blue Raiders, armed with the spirit of fight, entered the battlefield at Princeton for their first foot- ball game of the 1955 season, but courage would succumb to numbers and our warriors fell before the foe 18-0. The first encounter of the conference was played with wethersfield on our own reservation. Bill Edson scored for Walnut, but even this failed to give us a winning score and we were defeated 19-6. Our unhappy tribesmen had yet to taste victory and again were scalped by Galva in their next game, 6-0. ln our game with Toulon Doug Etheridge made a score for us, but we were defeated 20-6 and in the following game with Wyoming, the boys met defeat, 13-0. ln our next game Bill Edson and Roger Anderson sparked our warriors with two touchdowns and john -651 Bolz made two conversions to win over Elmwood 14-0. Our homecoming game was played with Bradford in the rain. Despite this handicap Bill Edson and Roger Anderson each scored successfully and John Bolz added two more points. We defeated the Panthers 14-12 in a very slippery game and Walnut began to feel the thrill of victory. The boys played a magnificent game against Prince- ville, defeating them 40-0. Three touchdowns were made by Don Gustafson. Doug Etheridge, Sonny O'Bry an, and Dave Fisher each made one. john Bolz kicked three points and Terry jenner kicked one. Although our team was slow in starting, and victory was slow in arriving, -the record proves that our braves were determined to bring home a few scalps ------ and they did!!

Many boys, who do not go out for Varsity ath- letics, do not have an opportunity to participate in many group sports so this opportunity is offered through intermural sports and is supervised by the Physical Education department.

During this year we enjoyed a trip to Chicago sponsored by Gonigam-Bass- and Hill Company. Other activities were, serving refreshments for the Homecom- ing Dance and sponsoring a St. Patrick's Box Social. Our chief moneymaking project was selling popcorn at the football and basketball games. We are now the brave and bold Sophomores in our second year in high school. Our officers are: Edward Gerdes, President, Mary Lou Hoge, Vice-President, and Lois Edson, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Donnelly is our Advisor and our Assistant Advisor is Mr. Harland. Our Student Council members are: Larry Williams, Sena- tor, Betty Lou Middleton, Larry Conley, Representatives. We decorated for the dance during the Homecoming festivities and entered the winning float in the parade. This year our most important money-making project was our magazine sales campaign. Arelene Kuhnert, being the top salesman, won a wrist watch. Other projects were bake sales and a hobby show. Our class is well represented on the Football, Basketball, and Track teams, the Music Organizations, the Honor Roll, and other phases of school activity. Now that we are nearing the end of our second year of high school we are looking forward to being the dignified Braves and another branch of the Walnut Tree as Chiefs.
