SAID, “SCHOOL 180 DAYS AS USUAL The school year 1959-60 marks the completion of twelve years of operation for the AlWood Unit. Therefore, this year’s graduating class has the distinction of being the class which began its education in the first grade at the time of the formation of the AlWood Schools. History books will record the achievements of our country in striving for world peace and international understanding, but this book will record the history of a significant year of our life spent in the AlWood Schools. Consequently, we are indebted to the Editor, her staff, and advisor for their efforts in planning and preparing this year’s AlWood Annual. For years to come we will be turning the pages of this book refreshing our memories of our school activities. --E.E. Fischer . . . has been superintendent at AlWood for eleven years . . . two children . . . enjoys all types of sports . . . received M.S. from U. of 111. . . . spends summers planning for next school term. DON METZGER PRINCIPAL . . . M.A. from U. of 111. . . . one daughter . . . enjoys spectator sports and painting (with a four-inch brush). From the time a student enters AlWood High until he graduates, many lasting friendships, experiences, and much knowledge have been gained. We urge all students to take full advantage of the excellent facilities which the AlWood Community has provided for you and the sincere attempt of every faculty member to maintain a high quality of instruction and guidance. To the seniors who are graduating, we trust you will become not only the THINKING men and women, but the ACTING men and women of tomorrow. E.E. FISCHER SUPERINTENDENT 5 --Don Metzger
