N we may E THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES WE OPEN DOORS. The first reveals a fascinating realm of touch and sight: A second leads to a land of Make Believe where .lack slays giants and jumps over candlesticks. And so we pass the doors of Birth and Childhood. And, then, we open another door. Thereupon we enter the kingdom ruled by Knowledge and Wisdom, joint rulers on the throne of Preparation. Today, we stand before the door that reveals to us the intriguing realm of Adulthood, ruled by Ex- perience, sternest monarch of all, and keeper of the many-doored hallway of Life where one must choose his way with care and consideration. 6 ii., 9- V nmw' f' -f 1 , -I J A 1 Rf' I t i L57 . ., Q x. es 1 3 Z f f 1. 4. 1 L I.

Wanna Sacdetq National Honor Society is an organization that recognizes qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service among high school students throughout the United States. Established at East Alton-Wood River High School in l934, the chapter has 529 members. Dr. Harold Hudson, elected to membership during his high school days, is now serving on the Board of Education, and two faculty members, Mrs. Margaret Poag and Mr. Richard Paynic, also belong to this chapter. To be eligible for membership, a student must be a iunior or senior who ranks in the upper third ot his class and has no less than a Qaverage. Using the list of those eligible scholastically, the faculty rates each student on character, service, and leadership. The high l5fX, ofthe seniors and SCX, ofthe iuniors from the composite scoring may then be chosen tor membership. Mainly an honorary society, the National Honor Society does not function to any extent as an active organization. lt presents each year an assembly program on scholarships and college opportunities, and iunior members, dressed in white caps and gowns, serve as ushers at Commencement. 61 Front row: Sue Wethingtan, Phyllis Culella, Loretta Haydon, Bob Campbell.

The Wood Cats have played at assembly programs and public appearances since their organization in 1953. Their arrangements are styled after the big dance bands and range from Dixieland iazz to Stan Ken- ton. The structure ofthe orchestra is likewise pat- terned after the big bands. Instrumentation includes three alto saxes, three tenor saxes, one baritone sax, four trumpets, four trombones, piano, two bases and drums. The Cats greatest success was during the band's Poplar Bluff concert in l953 when they were very enthusiastically received by their audience. The E.A.W.R.C.l'l.S. band is a busy organization. ln addition to presenting two formal concerts each year, the marching band plays at each football game and a iazz band, composed of members from the larger unit, plays at home basketball games. This year the activities of the band included these events: marching in the S.l.U. homecoming parade, a concert tour through southwestern lllinois and Cape Girardeau, Missouri, attending the woodwind clinic in St. Louis and the Madison County sight reading clinic, and participation in the Madison County Music Festival. Mfr 77fa6da For the past few years the small en- sembles ofthe vocal music depart- ment have been in demand not only for our schools programs, but also for various community functions. The Mixed Ensemble, a group of sixteen boys and girls, are selected each year from all the classes in vocal music. Last year this group became quite famous throughout the area for its rendition of The Grasshopper. This year it took the spotlight at the Musical with the Baseball Fantasy. The Melody Maids is a group of fif- teen girls selected from the choruses because of their singing ability. This group has proved to be pleasing not only to the ear, but to the eye.

Years ago this school was called the singing school, but this agreeable name seemed forgotten or dead for quite a while. Once again the name might apply if the number of students who elect to take chorus is any indication. There are four groups that make up the choral organization of our school. The Freshman Chorus is open to both boys and girls. There is no requirement other than being a freshman choral student. The Sophomore Chorus is open to sophomore choral students, though they may not have participated in Fresh- man Chorus. Advanced Girls' Choir is composed of selected sophomore, iunior, and senior girls who have had previous singing experience. Members of the High School Choir are selected from experienced iunior and senior boys and girls. This is the most advanced singing group. 66 ademffe 1 xi i f I First row: Janice Melvin, Janet Brazier, Janet Barnett, Dixie ll'leil, Marge Rhodes, Neil Enloe.

Sitting in the grandstands of the bleachers, proudly wear- ing their maroon and gold beanies, the club has led Oiler fans in cheering the team to victory. While its main purpose is to.back the athletic teams and to encourage the players, the club also claims as worthy ideals its desire to display loyalty to the school and to set an example of good sportsmanship.

Yogi and Brock in a grudge race. The Wood River baseball team, under the leadership of Coach Chick Summers, faced a stiff lab of re- building in 1955. The season's highlight was a 2-1 victory over Alton. lt was hard fought all the way and went two extra innings. This coming year the Oilers should be very impressive with 12 returning lettermen as the backbone of the team.

Coach Scharf's Thinclads had an- other strong team headed by Jer- ome Dupy, .leff Bronson, and others. Some outstanding achievements were the winning of first place in the Herrin relays, and seconds in the Conference relays, County meet, and District meet. Dupy climaxed a season in which he had seven records and eleven firsts by winning third in the state finals. He had a school discus record of 162' 11 which is also a Conference record.

T evmda Although the l955 tennis team lost all their matches, the boys gained a lot of valuable experience over the course ot the season. The squad was composed mainly of sophomores and juniors, with only two seniors who returned trom last year's varsity. This year, with half a dozen returning lettermen and several who played, but didnt earn letters coming back the team should improve their l955 record greatly. An added incentive is the resurfacing of the tennis court. They were torn up and completely redone in green asphalt. Lights were added too. The whole proiect cost several thousand dollars, so the boys have a lot to live up to. 94 -x , K. gf 1 Q, A QQ F Q , ff. QW , fl Q' , ' I ' 'why' iii' Q , A 56' .

We are proud to have been one of the few schools chosen by the University to have the Turkish teach- ers visit as a group. We are also proud that these new-found friends of ours praised our school so highly. 119 datew Dance Whofc1re we woifing for? asks Dixie. ff n WZ? Zine qfeaaen Looking for fnnf silver lining.

Coach Chick Summer's baseball team had a good season, ending just over the tive hundred mark in wins and losses. Two ofthe most thrilling victories came when the Oilers upset Lincoln of East St. Louis twice by identi- cal scores of tour to three. Although it wasn't a victory, another thriller was the game with Freeburg. We lost by one run and Freeburg went on to win second place in the state tournament. The T956 track team did well considering the iniuries that plagued Coach Fred Scharf and his boys. One of the most consistent point getters, Don Stanley, hurt his knee pole vault- ing in mid-season and was unable to compete forthe remainder ofthe campaign. Some of the slack was taken up, however, by such out- standing runners as Brock Yarnell, Jim Lem- mon, Walter May and Dayne Malley, Golf was initiated this year as a spring sport under the direction of Coach Joe Freese. The team won one match their rookie year by defeating Collinsville tour to one onthe op- ponents home course. They are looking for- ward to an improved season next year. The tennis squad, under the new leader- ship ot Coach Ray Floyd and playing on new courts, handed Collinsville two defeats. This was an improvement over last year and it is hoped they'll do even better in l957. -Q FY A 9 if 5 ,., Q r I lftii, ww-1 2 I 5 ! , L.,Q ,. , , ...A., ,, Coach Joe Freese, Jim Dewitt, Mike Kane, Dennis Schmidt, Gary Hamilton, Bob Awe and Bob Tucker. 5 Ron Haas, Randall Stover, Weldon Stevenson, Ted Lotz, Bob Anthony, Dick Stacy, Gary East, John Curtis Ned Coulson, Danny Byrd and Coach Raymond Floyd. 3 wf x4y Sweeihearf Queen JANET BARNETT cmdafz- eaiaz pfzam cmtcwg dw Page s A V I 2 N, Q 4 'af - ,yn 1: .-1.
