It is the center of our daylight world. Here our formative years are spent. In its classrooms we learn to appreciate and to seek greatness; we absorb wis- dom. Its halls are the scenes of friendships which make our high school days memorable. On the field we feel responsibility to the team; we learn humility. Our experiences in Hoover pre- pare us for tomorrow. Now we look to the future. 7 Here is Hoover of the future. It will offer unlimited oppor- tunity, knowledge, and challenge to a new generation. New voices will be heard in the halls, but memories of today’s stu- dents and the progress they made will remain. The face of our Alma Mater may be changed by an age of progression, but we too, will be changed as the future unfolds before us. 9 01 The Counseling Office is the Home-Away-From-Home to Hooverites. Through its doors pass scholarship aspirants, part- time job seekers, and just plain puzzled people, seeking advice and guidance. They are not disappointed. The inhabitants of 114, the Counselors, are parents-in-an-office. Like parents, their job is doing more than their job. It requires tremendous amounts of time, patience, insight and love of people. The Counselors, more than any other group in the school, prepare us for our place in the world of the future, and it is to them that we gratefully dedicate this book. 11 Administration The administrator of the future: his aim to instill knowledge and leadership will be aided by the progress made in all fields of human endeavor. He will arrange for Science Club field trips to the moon. He will accompany the basketball team to Buenos Aires for the Pan American Conference final playoffs. He will approve the first year French class’s request to visit Paris second and third period. His consuming interest will be, as the Admin- istrators’ of the present is, to give the best and fullest education possible to the students who are his trust. 13 Our principals gave us their 14 This, my first year as your principal, has been a most successful one. The close of the year brings to mind many accomplishments. You, as seniors, have given much of yourselves to the successes of this year, individually and as a class. In leadership, scholarship and citizenship you have left your mark to be recorded in the annals of all the past senior classes. In days to come you will return as alumni and review your record with pride. I join with all the faculty in aocrcTw'khes for your future, and salute you for work well done. stJ _ jlty in aoocTwIshes for your future, and salute understanding and advice. As the year draws to a close, Hoover's students, faculty and alumni can look back over the many fine accomplishments with pride. The spirit throughout the school has been at an all time high, and each project has been undertaken with the keenest enthusiasm. I have enjoyed my share of the work and the friendly asso- ciation with both the boys and the girls. AsirYlS Under the expert guidance of Mr. Sprague, Hoover has again pushed to the front in academ- ics and athletics. The excellence of our teams was exceeded only by the large number of our stu- dents who distinguished them- selves with high academic standings and scholarships.

He was recognized as a leader in many campus organizations before being elected to the school's highest office, student body president. He handled the many different duties of his office, first semester, with easy ability. His versatility was amazing. As presiding officer of the Cabinet, he guided its deliberations with a firm, but fair hand. An occasional twinkle in his eye hinted at the funny side of his personality. Dick’s athletic ability made him an asset to the football team and track teams, and a high degree of intelligence completed a personality that helped to make the year memorable. 26 proved able and enthusiastic. TOM PETERSEN. Who has not caught the infectious happiness of our friendly second semester student body president? Well equipped after serving as president of his class as a junior, Tom brought to his high office enough pep and enthusiasm, balanced by good judgment, to win the cooperation of both his Cabinet and the entire student body. It was evident even by his walk that he was accomplishing things. His stage-side manner never failed to enliven an assembly. For his contribution to many phases of Hoover's activities, ranging from championship swimming to yell leading, Tom will be a long remembered part of our high school years. 27 The Cabinet, elected Vice President Ed Hunt Secretary of State Cindy Cordes by the Secretary of Finance Alice Meacham To set an example is a difficult job, but the Cabinet which served first semester accepted the challenge and made a fine record for the second semester Cabinet to follow. They formed a budget for the student body's funds. They made and carried out plans for Howdy Day and Beat Glendale Week, showing their team spirit and sense of humor when they put together an hilarious impromptu assembly to fill in for a last minute cancellation. They guided the school through the activities of the ever-hectic football season and gave their support to the basketball team.

The success of the semester was measured in direct proportion to their enthusiasm. Sophomore Representative Bob McKenzie Junior Representative Mike Cassidy Senior Representative Ed Hunt The classroom representatives Senior Council Members of the first semester Senior Council planned and co-ordin- ated many successful Senior Activities. Under the leadership of Senior Class presi- dent, Dick Rust, and Senior Class sponsor, Mr. Morros, they worked well through- out the semester.

Both worked diligently and created a dance that will long be remembered. Called Intrigue, it was set in an eerie atmosphere created in the girl's gym. Held on October 29, the Halloween spirit prevailed and many couples had a spooky time. Another successful event held during the semester was a Friendship Tea in September. This was put on by the Girls' League officers to welcome new girls to Hoover. Social Sandy Jones 34 Vice Pres. Bill Sleeper Sec.-Trees. Dave Clough Senior Rep. Nancy Martin Junior Rep.

These two capable leaders and their officers planned and carried out activities for the students of Hoover, with special emphasis on the annual Boys' Day and Girls’ Slack Day. For the first time these activities were held on the same day, March 8, with separate programs planned for each one. With Nancy, always energetic and helpful, to lead them, the girls planned a program around the theme of Over the Rainbow. It included a fashion show, a stunt show, and a spirit contest, and turned out to be a very enjoyable day for all girls. Always ready with ideas and pep, Don directed his officers in planning the successful Boys' Day. Events for the day were a free first period, boxing and wrestling matches in the gym, a movie, and vaudeville acts in the auditorium. Welfare Mary Kennedy Friendship Sally Staub Sec.-Treas.

Tom Wood The retiring teachers Many student have come and gone through Hoover's doors since they opened in September, 1929, but one pleasant man with a smiling face and pleasing per- sonality has remained. This man, pictured above sitting in his office just as Hoover students saw him every day busily working on his records, was Chester $. Bryan. Every student that entered or left Hoover came in contact with Mr. Bryan, whether they knew it or not. For Mr. Bryan, as registrar, was in charge of recording the grades of all students in the permanent records, giving the new students their schedules, and checking out those that were leaving. Besides this, he kept many other records for the administrators and students of Hoover. So—for twenty-seven years Mr. Bryan has devoted his time and energy willingly to help the Hoover students and has been warm and friendly to any one of them who needed his help. But the Hoover students of the future will not have a chance to know this fine man, for he is retiring from his many duties to make a different future for himself —rest, trips around Southern California with his wife, and time given to raising chrysanthemums. The students of Hoover High salute you, Mr. Bryan, for your long and untiring service to them in the past and present. A salute goes also to your future, in hopes that it shall be a pleasant one, with many fond memories of Hoover in your mind. 36 gave us their best. This year several of Hoover's teachers are planning to retire. Their leadership and guidance have helped many stu- dents, not only in the classroom but also in their personal lives. There can never be adequate remuneration for these services, but often the satisfaction of knowing that a student has been set right is a reward in itself. To paraphrase the words of a fa- mous man, Hoover will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. In the coming years at Hoover and in the lives of Hoover alumni, these teachers and their unending devotion to their jobs will always be remembered. 37 Classes Three separate yet integral parts of Hoover are the Sopho- more, the Junior and the Senior classes. High school life is made interesting by their cooperation and their competition. Each class step has a new and unique effect on the personality, the intelligence and the outlook-on-life of each Hooverite who climbs it. The experience we gain as we progress through the classes is the foundation on which we will build our world of the future. 39 The Senior Officers have The graduating class will remember a successful year of Senior activities. Much of the credit goes to the capable and energetic Senior Class officers who did an outstanding job with the fine support of the class.

The class looked back on a year full of memorable events and forward to graduation at the close of three never-to-be-forgotten years at Hoover.

In their first year at Hoover, the Sophomore Class established itself as a group worthy of up- holding the school’s traditions. Under the guidance of their energetic student leaders, the Class took a spirited part in many ac- tivities. A Sophomore Dance was held and enjoyed by all who attended. The entire class participated in planning activities at the Sophomore Assembly. The spirited Sophomores also joined readily in the year’s ticket sale campaigns. The Sophomore Class can truly be proud of their achievements during the year. 84 Activities The hilarious holidays, the amusing assemblies, the delight- ful dances: these are the spice of our life at Hoover. They are the fun-makers, the spirit-raisers, the memory builders. The construction of our activities requires originality, ingenuity and patience of the planners, sportsmanly humor of the doers. When completed, the activities reward both the planners and the doers with three-fold enjoyment. When our days in the hal- lowed halls of Hoover are in the past, we will remember our activities as the essence of our happy days in high school. 85 King and Queen of Scroll Day Sparkling and effervescent Lynne Latin gained our love with her cheerful smile and friendly manner. Serving her school in many ways she truly deserves to reign as Queen of Hoover Day. 86 truly deserve this high honor. As an outstanding leader and athlete, Dick Rust gained our respect and ad- miration. With his modest manner, and friendly ways he certainly has earned the title of Hoover Day King. 87 embers of Hoover Day Court Her personality plus and sincere friendliness have earned Norma Han- gartner a rightful place as guide to her many friends. Jeanette Rhoads, cute and peppy, led school spirit as a song leader. Her friendly and smiling ways won for her the respect of all who knew her. Talented Carol Zavala captured the friendship of her classmates through her outstanding abilities and understanding manner. 88 reflect personality, character. Steve Douglass, always capable and friendly, gained the admiration of all through his outstanding leadership abilities in all phases of school life. Through his captivating personality and casual way, Tom Petersen has truly gained the love and respect of the Hoover student body as a top- notch leader. Handsome and respected, Dick Foushec has used his abilities as a leader in sports, citizenship, and all school activities to the betterment of Hoover. 89 The Coronation Assembly was an eagerly anticipated high point of the ever exciting Beat Glendale Day. Gasps of awe followed each lovely member of the homecoming court as she was escorted down the aisle of Hayhurst Hall. Here, pictured in their places on the stage are the Queen of Homecoming Week and her princesses, from the left, Gail Clough, Rita Howe, Queen Sherry Batey, Phyllis Zitnick and Jeanette Rhoades. I crown you Queen of Homecoming Week, says Bob Bell, co-captain of the varsity football team, to beautiful Sherry Batey. Assisting in the coronation is co-captain-escort Dick Foushee. Monday, the first day of Homecoming Week, found the Cabinet finishing the last minute work-behind-the-scenes that was to make the important pre-game activities on Thursday, Beat Glendale Day, a success. As Beat Glen- dale Day dawned, five pretty and excited girls rose to prepare for one of the big days of their lives. Groups of Hooverites throughout the West Side met for final runs-through of the acts they had improvised to replace the planned assembly which had been canceled at the last minute. The activities of the day be- gan with the Coronation, followed by one of the silliest, most enjoyable assemblies of the year, which included record pantomimes, a song by the “Most Beautiful Girls in the World,” (pictured on opposite page, bottom right), and the appropriate “Gathering of the Nuts. A noon dance was held in the Girls’ Gym, after which the pre-game activities were completed by a pep rally. crosstown football rivalry. When lovely Sherry Botey took her place as Queen of Home- coming Week, and Beat Glendale Day, it was the third time she had been voted a member of the homecoming royalty. Her pep and skill as head song leader in her Junior and Senior years have inspired spirit and drawn admiration, and her sweetness has made her a friend to many. ‘‘Please, Henry, dance with me!” This group of incognito senior girls often entertained with their satiric pantomimes of rock-and-roll records. Daddy-O, please! Where are you?” Gerri Haynes pleads while the rest of her” accomplices, Dicky Foushee, Bwian Swanson, Neddy Toomey, Hildegarde Rust, Theventhon DePatie, Albertina Repscha and Tevie Douglass alternately chuckle or fret over the sorry situation. Movies, stunts highlighted Acrobats, an accordion artist and a magician, seen above, were among the entertainment provided for the guys on Boys' Day. For the first time in the history of Hoover, Boys’ Day and Girls' Slack Day were combined into one all-out fun day. Giving the boys an extra hour of sleep, a free first period was de- clared. After that, they all gathered in the Boys' Gym where boxing matches took place, with Hoover students in the spotlight. The next event of the day was a movie, entitled “From the Halls of Montezuma. After adjourning for lunch, the guys gathered again in the Boys’ Gym for a vaudeville show. Featured here were Rob- bins and Bonno, acrobats; Bill Chaudet, a ma- gician; and Reno Rene, an accordion player. Proving that the hand is quicker than the eye to Sparky Wilson (right) was magician Bill Chaudet on Boys' Day. At the left, Uncle Roy Johnson was in the midst of another trick.

Guided by Carole Zavala, the senior girls worked long and hard to present their winning Slack Day Skit, which took place in Disneyland, the Belgian Congo, Vienna, and Paris. Bits of each are pictured above. In the judging for the best Slack Day outfits, Bonnie Barker (left) took first prize for her home- made outfit and Heather Keene for her purchased one. Girls’ Slack Day, on which every girl at Hoover wore either pedalpushers, slacks, or Bermudas, turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone. In the morning the girls assembled for the Webb’s Fashion show and judging of the best outfits. In the afternoon the stunt show was held, with each class giving a skit around the Slack Day theme, “Over the Rainbow. The Girls’ League Board from Glendale High School judged this event and gave first prize to the seniors. Next came the spirit contest, judged by the Burbank and Burroughs League Boards. The spirited Junior Class, under their yell leaders, Gretchen Henning and Janice Lindgren, and their song leaders, Sherry Hale, Marilyn Otto, and Ann Yarick, won the contest. As the finale to the beautiful fashion show put on by Webb’s Department Store and narrated by Mrs. Khrist of Webb’s, the models took Hoover’s girls to a spring wedding, with Zoe Smith, center, as the blushing bride. 93 Special events and assemblies The close of 1955 brought a superb Christmas program. Here Mr. Laurence M. Smith is reading the Christmas story while sitting in his livingroom. Outside,the Con- cert Choir, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Wilson, is providing the background music. The Concert Choir captured the season's spirit in a Christ- mas program that will long be remembered as beautiful and inspiring to the Christmas season by Hoover students. The beautiful Christmas story, “Even Unto Bethlehem ' by Henry Van Dyck, and put into dramatic form by Mr. C. Janicki, was told by Mr. Laurence M. Smith. His setting was a huge easy chair in a Christmas-decked, comfort- able livingroom. Dave Blankenburg and Janis Shaner depicted Joseph and Mary in short dramatic sketches. Their acting of selected short scenes added a sincere and real effect to the pro- gram. The Concert Choir along with the Girls’ Glee Clubs stood outside the windows of the livingroom, making an outstanding over-all effect. The joyful spirit of the Nativity season was truly felt by all, through their combined ef- forts. As an effective climax the 1955 Christmas program ended with the audience joining in singing “Silent Night.” 94 Howdy Day started the year as the first of the student body activities. Hooveritcs, clad in white shirts and wear- ing name tags, filled the auditorium with spirited songs and yells. The new principal, Robert O. Sprague, introduced him- self to the students and outlined a program for the year. Dick Foushee, the incoming student body president, greeted the old and new members of the school. The up-and-coming Sophomore Class worked hard under the leadership of Dave Gaon to put on ‘April Showers, their evening dance. Chosen to reign over the gala affair were, from the left, Donna Lewis, Linda Schall, Queen Bev Clickenger, Dannie Denning, and Marlene Monson. Held in Hoover's girls’ gym on April 13, the dance proved to be a large success and was enjoyed by many couples. 95 The “Symphony of th e Stars Radiantly beautiful, Rita Howe made the perfect queen over this year's Junior Prom, Symphony of the Stars. Always happy and sparkling as a star herself. Queen Rita reigned over the dance and helped to make it a memorable prom in every way. Smiling in all her glory, Queen Rita is crowned by the president of the Junior Class, Bill Roethlisberger. Dancing to the music of the Star- dusters are some of the couples who attended this unforgettable prom. 96 was magnificently decorated. The busy seniors took time out from their dec- orating to pose for this picture. Their ingenious decoration plans for the prom brought the stars down to earth for one night. Shimmering with beauty as they reigned over Symphony of the Stars are Queen Rita Howe, seat- ed, and her lovely princesses, from the left, Alice Meacham, Sherry Hale, Janet Calvert, and Joan Whitney.

Steve Douglass Lynn McCallister These boys were elected kings of the campus, and ruled over this year's draft dance, Bali Hai. They were escorted to the tribal throne at the foot of the volcano and bedecked with leis by their dates. Dick Foushee was crowned King of Bali Hai by his partner, Janeene Tambert. Tom Petersen Dick Rust 98 sparkle to the s ocial whirl. Complimenting the dance with their fine music was Tom Peltier's Quintet, whose rhythm and choice of numbers was appreciated greatly by the dancers. Members of the combined Girls' and Boys' League Boards made up the decorating committee for “Intrigue. Through their hard- working efforts a very weird and spooky atmosphere was created and enjoyed by all.

With musical numbers, stunts, their band, the Y's Men, are standing at the left, and dances, they took the student body around the year As a reward for the collection of $300 for the March of Dimes an assembly consisting of the Tornadoes, in the background; the Three Doll ; and Sugar and Spice, seen in the midst of one of their numbers; was brought to Hoover. 104 Mary Greenlaw, left, of Glendale High, brought Bcrnd von Arnim, of Germany, and Kristina Lindh, of Sweden, to Hoover to tell about their home lands and also about their life here in America, where they are living and attending high school for one year. Speaking in perfect English, each one told some of the interesting differences in teen-age life in Europe and America. Many times throughout the year Hoover students could be seen on the Girls’ gym floor at noon to par- ticipate in the dances held there. Usually very success- ful, these dances were among the many privileges which the students often received. At the annual Basketball Banquet, team captain Dick Sundahl (left) is seen giving Coach Kohlmeier the traditional gift for his fine work during the year. Many varied activities made Hoover's blueprint swimming pool at last began to crystalize this year. Promised for years, its completion was postponed by the rock and gravel strike, but its christen- ing is now anticipated in September. The pool will be the future home of a Hoover swimming team. Next year’s Hooverites can look forward to taking swimming and diving as a course and enjoying the pool during summer vacations. The occasion is the Girls' league's semi-annual in- stallation banquet. As senior representative-elect, Carole Zovala pins a thank-you-for-work-well-done corsage on her radiant predecessor, Nancy Martin, while incoming vice-president Sue Swift anticipates a pricking. Monte Calvert, Scroll editor for this year, shows the real story of life at Hoover to Madison High School's Miss Brooks. Eve Arden and the other familiar characters of Our Miss Brooks, well-loved radio and television program, made Hoover their Madison High for filming during the summer. 106 Smartly attired in their brand new purple and white uniforms, the members of the Hoover High band were Hoover’s representatives in the 1956 Rose Parade held in Pasadena. After many hours of planning and practice under the direction of Richard Schiebcrl, the band marched down the parade route and were a sight that will long remain in the hearts of the students. Addressing Hoover girls and their mothers at the annual G.A.A. Banquet is Miss Abbie Richardson, standing at the right. Miss Richardson was the main speaker of the affair, which was held to install the new G.A.A. Board. Presenting the Babe Herman Award to Bill Roeth- lisberger, standing right, for the most valuable Bee football player is Don Herman, a former Hoover stu- dent and the son of Babe Herman. 107 108 Organizations Of the many spheres in which all Hooverites revolve, the organizations are the nucleus. Into these, we are separated according to our talents, our interests, and our accomplish- ments. The organizations offer experience to the journalistic- ally minded, fun and knowledge to the linguists. They provide a stage for the talented, whether of musical, dramatic or artistic bent. Organizations provide association for both students who keep the school’s activities running from behind the scenes and those who have special hobbies. They give recognition to those who have achieved distinction in their years at Hoover. As the organizations we have been a part of become a part of our past, the memories and experiences we gained in them enrich our lives, now and in the future. 109 “Purple Press,” our newspaper, Leading the Purple Press staff dur- ing the first semester in a very capa- ble manner was Ed Hunt, editor-in- chief.

Throughout the year he gave willingly and enthusiastically of his ideas and time to make the publication possible. With Monte co-ordinating and helping the staff, they were able to make many improvements in the annual. The new Scroll boasts larger pages, an increase in the size and number of pictures, the use of color, and thirty- two additional pages. Checking over sales reports from the '56 Scroll are Editor Monte Calvert, Cindy Cordes, Judy O'Brien, and Sherron Murphy. Monte, besides being editor, helped with photography and wrote many of the headings for the book. Cindy planned for Scroll coverage of Hoover's many social events in her job as Activities editor, while Judy worked mainly with Seniors in planning the Senior section. Sherron Murphy, beside being the staff’s jack of all trades, was Candid editor. Joining the staff at the second semester was Sharon Christen- sen, who is not pictured.

Here, Barbara Baker, Rodger Dawson, Pat Marvin, and Dave Hel- sten try to decide who’s who. Barbara's job was the Organization section, which was especially difficult because of the many people involved. Pat, as Art Editor, designed the Scroll cover and checked over all page layouts.

Girls' athletic groups learned Ready to walk into the Girls’ Gym, over which they reigned during the past year, are Girls' Athletic Association pres- idents Berdella Otto and Mary Kent. These two headed the other officers of the G.A.A. Board during the second and first semesters, respectively, by presiding at board meetings and at sixth period gym classes and by representing girls' ath- letics on the Student Body Cabinet. Throughout the year they planned and carried out numerous activities for girls interested in athletics. They had play days here with high schools and junior highs and went with teams from Hoover to other schools to participate in their play days. Both boards had dinners and get fogethers with the G.A.A. Boards from Glendale High School. An important event each semester was the installation of new G.A.A. officers. Mary planned the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet for the new second semester officers, and Berdella held an afternoon tea in the spring to introduce next year's officers. The after-school sports managers were an important part of the G.A.A. Board. Their many duties included getting ready all equipment for the games, such as nets, rackets, and balls, making up team lists, taking attendance, and generally seeing that everything was going well. This year the managers did a very out- standing job and had many people stay- ing for each sport. Through their effective managing, the sports nights were enjoyed by all. Managers left to right, were.

Representing Girls' H Club on the G.A.A. Board was another of their important responsibilities. One of the club’s many activities this year was a Spanish dinner and bowling party. Another activity was a very successful play-day with Glen- dale Girls' G Club. Girls excelling in athletics were eager to join H Club and fake part in the many worthwhile and enjoyable activities.

Here are some of the co-ordinated G.A.A. girls in the midst of a new set of exercises. This event, which came about once a month, always caused hilarity and mirth among the ranks. The Sophomores, at the front, have a right to be be- wildered, for this was all new to them. The Juniors and the Seniors in the back have no excuse, for they should have been old-timers at exercises. Trying to hit the bulls-eye are four of Hoover's archers, from the left, Mary Arnold, Sandy Saltmarsh, Diane Decker, and Marilyn Vanier. These, and other girls in- terested in archery, met each Wednesday afternoon. Many Hoover girls from all gym classes joined together on Wednesday afternoon to play volleyball, one of the main G.A.A. sports activities. Song and yell leaders promoted School songs were led with pep and enthusiasm at all athletic events and pep rallies by Hoover's vivacious songleaders. Pictured on the front lawn, from left to right, are Sharron Bayless, Sherrie Peterson, Jeanette Rhoads, Colleen Cummings, Rita Howe, and Sherry Batey, head songleader. In their gay purple and white outfits with waving pom-poms and flashing smiles, they encouraged school spirit at every game.

Miss Camp- bell's first year as advisor was one of many changes. The drill team, given the name ‘‘Hoovereftes,” had become a part of. the Girls’ Athletic Association, making Marilyn its head Hooverette representa- tive on the G.A.A. Board. New outfits, white bulky-knit sweaters, felt skirts, and white parade boots graced all the girls that marched. The song leaders became members of the Hoovereftes, coordinat- ing and improving their own routines while teaching them to new girls.

They teach the fundamental rules of life, sportsmanship, and cooperation. The sports bring health and development to both the body and the mind. Competition in sports yields as much to the loser as the winner. The boy who can learn to play well the game on the field will be the man who will play well the game of life. 147 Football Is a prime sport From the first football game to the last tennis match of the year, Hoover’s athletic teams have shown outstanding sportsman- ship. Winning or losing, on or off the field, they set an example for the whole student body to follow. As a result, fine team play and excellent support from an enthusiastic student body characterized every sports event of the year. A tragic technicality pro- hibited Hoover’s winning the Foothill League Sportsmanship Trophy during football sea- son, but the basketball team showed Hoov- er's true colors when they copped the Fill- more Tournament Sportsmanship Trophy in pre-season play. Student body support was at a high pitch throughout the basketball season, boosting the team into the C.I.F. semi-finals. Track, the sport of individual teamwork, stimulated and required unusual sportsmanship in both trackmen and spec- tators. Only an occasional Kill the umpire! dented the sportsmanship during the base- ball season. Besides a killing serve and an enviable tan, tennis developed in its play- ers and follows a high degree of sports- manship. This sportsmanship present in each sport made each more enjoyable and made the entire sports year one long to be re- membered. 148 at Southland high schools Taking a minute out from practice to hove their pictures taken are Assistant Coach Jack Fredericks, left, and head coach Ed Siminski. Kneel- ing before them are co-captains Dick Foushee, left, and Bob Bell. This combination of leaders led our football team through a successful season. The 1955 Hoover football team continued Ed Siminski’s series of fine teams. After looking over his material for the season, Mr. Siminski decided the Tornadoes would use the “T formation for the first time since he came to Hoover. The T was built around the ball-handling of quarterback Bob Bell, first string end on last year’s team. With the powerful running of fullback Dick Foushee and the quick speed of scatbacks Mike Cassidy, Phil Keller, and Tony Rubino, Hoover was well suited for the shift from the single wing. The Purple's gained more than one thousand yards on the ground during the league season. Dick Foushee gained 576 yards for an amazing eight and one- half yard average per carry. Mike Cassidy was second to Foushee in total yards with 182 yards. Bob Bell’s strong arm threw all of Hoover's passes, completing twenty out of forty-nine passes for a 40 per cent com- pletion percentage. Foushee also led Tor- nado pass receiving with five receptions. He was closely followed by all four of Hoover’s fine ends. Ned Toomey had four receptions and Don DeLuca, Bill Mace, and Dick Rust had three receptions each. Dick Foushee did most of the punting for Hoover, al- though Dan Jackson kicked a few, while Don DeLuca handled all the kickoff duties for the team. Allen Murray led the Torna- does in kick-off returns, but Dick Foushee returned the most punts. Gary Haynes kicked Hoover’s extra points for the second straight year. The Tornadoes were well rep- resented in the all-league selections. Gary Haynes, center, was selected on the first team, Dick Foushee, fullback, and Bill Mace, end, were on the second team, while Bob Bartl, tackle, and Mike Cassidy, halfback, received honorable mention. 149 Bell Quarterback Foushee Fullback Cassidy Halfback Bell Tackle 150 Haynes Center Bartl Tackle Mace End Keller Halfback best for I Kaselau Halfback team and school.

Early in the game, Mike Cassidy scored on an end run. Dick Foushee scored the next two touchdowns. Bob Bell soon added six more points. Dave Kyle grabbed a Tor- rance fumble in midair and scored to fin- ish Hoover’s T.D. parade. The Tornadoes' second game resulted in a disappointing 12-7 loss to Mark Kep- pel. Hoover’s only touchdown came on Dick Foushee's two-yard plunge. Recovering from the previous week's loss. Hoover upset favored Bakersfield, 14-13. Dick Foushee scored both of Hoover’s touchdowns. Gary Haynes kicked both extra points, while Eddie Bell blocked Bakersfield’s final extra point at- tempt. Hoover ended its practice season with a lack-luster 7-0 win over Montebello. The Tornadoes’ only touchdown was scored by Bob Bell from one yard out. Although a small man, Phil Keller proved to be a runner difficult to stop. Good blocking, such as is shown here by Dick Foushee, was a Hoover strong point. 154 tackle league opponents. Hoover started its league campaign with an impressive 21-6 triumph over the Muir Mustangs. The Mustangs did the only scoring in the first half, but Bob Bell start- ed things off in a hurry in the second half. He spotted Don DeLuca all alone in the end zone and hit him with a twelve-yard pass for Hoover’s first touchdown. The Purple and White were on the move again, following Phil Keller’s recovery of a Muir fumble on the thirty-yard line. Dick Foushee took Bob Bell's pass on the five and stepped over for Hoover's sec- ond touchdown of the game. An insur- ance touchdown was set up by Hank Repscha's interception of a Mustang pass. Foushee bulled over from the three for the score. Tackle Eddie Bell was outstand- ing in the line for the Tornadoes. Mike Cassidy, Hoover’s fine scatback, surprised oppo- nents with his quick speed around end. 155 Winning or losing, Hoover ] +}yg .V aw 7T ■ ' Reserve fullback Allen Murray was a strong asset to the team, ripping off yardage every carry. 156 In their second league game, the Tor- nadoes were defeated by Burroughs 21- 6 on the Indians’ home field. Burroughs started things off with a bang as they scored on the first play of the game with a long pass. Hoover’s only touchdown, scored by Dick Foushee, was set up by the recovery of an Indian fumble by Don De Luca on the four-yard line. The recovery of a fumble by Eddie Bell and a pass in- terception by Bob Bell in Burroughs' ter- ritory were the only other bright spots in the game for the Purple and White sup- porters. The Tornadoes were not able to capitalize on these scoring opportunities. Bill Bloom, one of the Indians’ all league candidates, fiddled the Tornadoes' pass defense for more than two hundred yards. End King Archer caught the majority of Bloom’s passes. exhibited good sportsmanship. Recovering from the loss to Burroughs, Hoover returned to the race for the league championship with a strong 20-6 win over the Burbank Bulldogs. Bob Bell set up the Tornadoes’ opening touchdown by inter- cepting a Bulldog pass. Bell scored the touchdown himself as he faked a pitch- out and went over from the seven. The Tornado defense came through again as Eddie Bell recovered a fumble on the Burbank twenty-one yard line. The Tor- nadoes quickly turned this break into a touchdown as Dick Foushee scored from two yards out. The Bulldogs remained in the game by scoring their only touchdown but the Tornadoes came back again with a fifty-four yard touchdown drive. Fou- shee’s one-yard scoring plunge iced the game for Hoover. Foushee gained 127 yards and had a 6.3 yard average. Dick Foushee breaks into the opposing team’s secondary. Although a fullback, Foushee consistently ran for long gains. 157 Our varsity football games Hard-charging plunges through the line coupled with breakaway speed earned Dick Foushce a spot on the C.I.F. first team. 158 One of the best team efforts of the year was the Pasadena game, as the Torna- does trounced the Bulldogs 33-0. Hoover’s first touchdown was scored following a forty-eight yard run by Foushee. A thirty- five yard pass from Bell to Foushee fin- ished the drive. Next, Foushee burst through the line and outran the Bulldog secondary for a sixty-five yard touch- down. Murray entered the game during the next drive and climaxed the effort with a six-yard scoring plunge. Again Hoover made a long sustained drive to Pasa- dena's two-yard line, from which Murray scored. The Purple and White’s final touchdown resulted from a twenty-yard pass from Bell to Bill Mace. The fine de- fense, which stopped the Bulldogs both in the air and on the ground, was headed by Tony Rubino's two pass interceptions. The annual crosstown gridiron battle was a thrilling, yet heartbreaking game for Hoover’s Tornadoes. Glendale held the ball for the final minutes to hang on to a 14-12 victory. With Dick Foushee han- dling the ball on seven out of the eleven necessary plays, the Tornadoes went sixty-two yards for their first touchdown. Bill Mace snagged a jump pass from Bob Bell for five yards and the score. Then Glendale made a determined drive for the goal line. The Hoover forward wall proved it had what it takes when they held the Dynamiters on the Purple one- yard line. But Glendale was not to be de- nied, and they scored another touchdown. Just when the game seemed hopeless, Foushee took a pitchout and roared fifty- six yards for Hoover's second touchdown. However the last seconds of the game ticked off before the Tornadoes could re- gain possession of the ball. Phil Keller surprised many a larger opponent by carrying him for extra yardage after being tackled. 159 Hoover can be proud of the Members of the B Football Team were.

Hoover fans had much to cheer about during the 1955 Bee football campaign as the Cyclones finished in a tie for the Foothill League Championship with a seasonal record of six wins and three losses. The Cyclones pre-season campaign included 26-0 and 19-13 wins over Lynwood and Mark Keppel while losing to Bakersfield and Montebello 19-7 and 28-0. The fast improving Bees began the league season by downing Muir 7-0 and Burroughs 6-0. Co-captain Bill Roethlisberger and tackle Dick Kurtz put in outstand- ing performances on defense. Lynn McCallister passed or ran for all four Cyclone touchdowns in the 27-19 victory over Burbank. A 20-0 win over Pasadena, sparked by the hard-driving runs of Co-captain Tony Sullo, marked the fourth straight victory for the Cyclones. As the season closed a 20-0 loss to Glendale dropped Hoover into a tie for the League Champion- ship. 160 fine job the Bee Team did. During an exciting Bee game, a Hoover pass combina- tion clicks as Doug Smith (10) finds Tony Sullo (12) in the clear for a screen pass. Injured early in the year. Smith was out most of the season, but proved a valuable player to his team upon returning.

Hollister's hard drive and fine fighting spirit helped a great deal to make the Cyclones' season a success. Aiding Hollister in his drive are Lynn McCallister (25) and Dave Gaon (2). Although just a sophomore, Gaon proved a stalwart in the Cyclone line. His fine blocking, aggressiveness, and keen sense of body contact were a great asset to his team.

Tornado basketball players had an ex- • ceptionally outstanding season during 1955- . 56. The Hoover ball club was Foothill League Champion and defeated three opponents to gain the CIF semi-finals. The Tornadoes had a very successful practice season, win- ning ten games while losing only five. These included victories over Notre Dame, Monte- bello, Ventura and Pasadena. Hoover reached the finals of the Burbank pre-sea- son tournament, only to lose to Burroughs. The Tornadoes returned from the Fillmore Invitational with third place and awards.The team set the school scoring record with an 80-58 defeat of Ventura, while Bob Bell set the individual scoring record by racking up thirty-three points. In addition, the team re- ceived the Tournament Sportsmanship Award. The Tornadoes began their league season with a strong 65-44 victory over Muir. Next, Hoover revenged the earlier de- feat by Burroughs with a decisive 66-46 vic- tory over the league favorites. Following a 164 72-52 win over Burbank, the Purple basket- bailers continued undefeated in the league by downing Pasadena 47-34. But the Glen- dale game proved a pitfall to the league leaders, as they received a 57-50 loss. Hoover opened the second round of league battles by defeating Muir again, 69-51, but Burroughs, playing without their star, Bill Bloom, outfought the Tornadoes and won, 48-43. Hoover regained the victory trail when they defeated Burbank 64-47. A 43-39 success over Pasadena made it three straight over the Bulldogs. The Glendale game was again close, but the Purples eked out a 53-52 win. Coach Kohlemeier's ball club began its CIF contests by downing Bell- flower 59-53. The Tornadoes really had to come from behind, but finally edged Culver City in an overtime 58-56 victory. A crush- ing 59-36 defeat of Redlands preceded Hoover’s two CIF semi-final losses to Long Beach Poly 70-51 and San Diego Hoover 57-53. Dick Sundahl led the team’s scoring with 390 total points to Bob Bell’s 373 points. In summary, the Hoover basketball team proved itself a team to be proud of. won awards for sportsmanship. Coach Kohlmeier, team captain Dick Sundahl and manager Dick Mihalko discuss Hoover's most success- ful basketball season since 1942. In his second year as the Tornado basketball coach, Mr. Kohlmeier added honor to an already enviable record. He attended Hanover College in Indiana, where he was selected for the all conference basketball team. His scholastic and extracurricular achievements plus his basketball prowess earned him the distinction of being named in the collegiate Who's Who in 1941. Coach Kohl- meier played a great deal of independent basketball after his college days. Immediately following gradu- ation he was voted the most valuable player on the championship team of the Midwest Tri-State Inde- pendent Tournament. He continued playing on inde- pendent teams here on the west coast while attend- ing the University of Southern California for post graduate work. In 1946 Mr. Kohlmeier received the Helm’s award for being chosen on the all A.A.U. first team. Returning to Indiana, Coach Kohlmeier played on the team which won the Indiana independent championship for two years. The Michigan City High School teams he coached were Indiana sectional champs for two years. Therefore, Mr. Kohlmeier's pres- ent success as a coach is not entirely new to him. Care- ful pre-game scouting and planning and quick-think- ing strategy are some of the attributes which produce winning teams under Coach Kohlmeier. In addition, the coach's sportsmanlike attitude, whether winning or losing, is something which players and spectators, alike, admire. In addition to being captain, Dick Sundahl was voted the most valuable player on the team. His teammates were not alone in proclaiming Sundahl an outstanding player. He was chosen on the all-tournament teams of the Pacific Shores, Burbank, and Fillmore tournaments, and the all-league first team. He climaxed the season by being selected on the C.I.F first team. Dick Mihalko has managed Hoover teams for the past three years; his organization and hard work kept the games' sched- ule running smoothly. As Dick Rust gets ready to rebound, Bob Bell connects for another two points. Along with teamwork like this, fight and continual improvement brought the Tor- nadoes through three hard C.I.F. games successfully. 165 Often the underdogs, they Bell Sundahl Sharp Hurd Rust Forward Guard Guard Center Forward Dick Sundahl drives past an opposing player and lays up another two points.

The Bee Basketball squad began the year by compiling a five win, two loss record during the practice season. The league season, which re- sulted in two wins and eight losses, proved less satisfactory, although many of the losses were close, hard-fought contests. The last-second, one- point loss to Muir was a real heartbreaker, while the three-point loss to Glendale came after the Cyclones had led the league-leaders for most of the game. Fred Soriano was elected team cap- tain, while Jeff Prugh was voted the team’s most valuable player. He led the squad in scoring ninety-eight total points and seventy-three re- bounds. Don McCanlies had the highest free throw percentage,63percent.Soriano’s thirty-one assists and field goal percentage of 44 percent led the team. Although the players did not have a winning season, they gained valuable experience.

Hoping to make this year one of his best seasons. Coach Francy carefully coached and guided his boys during their practice periods. Hoover track coach Vic Francy announced at the beginning of the 1956 cinder season that it was to be his last year as Tornado track mentor. Mr. Francy has built the pur- ple spikesters into one of the powerhouse teams of the country. His efforts were cli- maxed in 1949 when Hoover became the first school to score a triple sweep of the varsity, bee, and cee C.I.F. championships. The feat has not been duplicated since. A special plaque was presented to the school commemorating this accomplishment. The best description of Mr. Francy's success as Tornado coach is his amazing record of 513 wins against only 50 losses in all three di- visions up to 1956. These victories include 183 championships, won in all types of meets: dual league, all-league, city, C.I.F., and relays. All together Hoover has cap- tured thirteen C.I.F. championships: four varsity, five bee, and four cee. Mr. Francy is perhaps proudest of his fifteen to nine edge over Glendale High School in varsity track meets. Many outstanding track stars have been turned out through Francy’s tutelage. Jack Davis is, of course, the most famous Francy protege. Davis lost the Olym- pic high hurdles by inches in 1952 and has established himself as the favorite to bring back a blue ribbon in the 1956 Olympics. While at Hoover, Davis won the C.I.F. high hurdles crown. Sprinters such as Dubby Holt and Ed Hogan were Mr. Francy’s specialty, but he was capable at coaching any event. This is shown by such stars as Joe Rose, who was the leading high school pole vaulter in the country while at Hoover, and Dick Haddon, who set the school high jump rec- ord and is now competing at Occidental College. Several college coaching jobs were offered to Mr. Francy, but he refused them saying that he would rather teach high school boys the fundamentals than try to correct the bad habits that college boys have acquired. 174 our track team for many years. Varsity Track Team Members of the Varsity Track Team were, left to right: Murray, Clough, Haase, DeWitf, Young, Sleeper, Goff, Kelly; Second Row: Sandell, Matte- son, Dawson, Marshall, Rossow, Beilin, Hardy, Barker, Foushee; Third Row: Meyer, Edwards, Prian, Kemp, Schuyler, Spidel, Cory, Kallem, Toomey; Fourth Row: lynch, Klayer, Whitman, Lyon, Rice, Francy. Coach Vic Francy’s 1956 varsity track team continued his record of cinder pow- ers. It was a well-balanced squad with good men in all events, although lack of depth in some departments was a weakening factor. There were many outstanding per- formers on the team, but John Kelly was perhaps the real stalwart of the team. He was a consistent winner in all three of his events: the high hurdles, low hurdles, and broad jump. His low hurdles mark was espe- cially outstanding. Another all-around per- former was Dick Foushee, whose 210 pounds enabled him to lead the Hoover shotputters, yet did not slow his fast sprint times. Team captain Dave Clough was an inspiration to his fellow teammates through his hard work and fine attitude. Switching to the mile from the 880, where he posted one of the CIF's best times last year, Clough proved himself equally outstanding at the longer distance. Allen Murray, a hard-work- ing runner in the 880, left his opponents be- hind with his powerful closing drive. An- other conscientious runner was Dima Prian, who improved his 440 time consistently and was seldom defeated. Tom Shedd, although hampered by injuries part of the season, led the Purple and White sprinters in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Dave Haase was one of the top high jumpers in the CIF with jumps exceeding six feet in height. Even though he occasionally performed as a Bee, Dennis DeWitt was the leading Hoover pole vaulter. In addition, DeWitt was a fine hur- dler. Mark Kallem pushed Clough to his out- standing times in the mile with many strong second place finishes. John Hardy was an- other runner who added depth to the team through his close second places in the 880. Dave Kemp and Bob Matteson made the Tornado 440 one of the strongest in the league as their swift running garnered many points for the Purple and White. 175 Many returning Allen Murray releajcs his stretch drive to over- take his opponent and win another blue ribbon in the 880. Murray's ability to exert this drive made him a consistent winner for Hoover. He will again race for Hoover next year when he returns as a Senior. lettermen were Dima Prian breaks the tape for another Hoover blue ribbon. Hard work, good form, and the will to win were some of the reasons for Prian's success. Prian also kept up one leg on the speedy relay team. Dima was one of the returning lettermen who helped to strengthen the Varsity cindermen.

Dick Foushee shows the fine form which mode him one of the best shot putters in the League. Dick showed his all around ability by consistently scoring in the 100, 220, and running a leg on the relay team. A returning lefferman, Dick added many points to the scoreboard for Hoover during the season. Dave Clough breaks the tape far ahead of the opposition. Clough was seldom pushed in the mile so finishes such as this were frequent. Dave's hard work made him one of the top C.I.F. milers. Prian 440 W Shedd 100, 220 DeWitt L.H., H.H., P.V. Hardy Sanded 880 100, 220 177 Our cindermen were John Kelly skims over the low hurdles en route to another victory. Kelly's frequent triple wins in the low hurdles, high hurdles and the broad jump added invaluable points to the team's score. Dennis DeWitt soars far above the bar in the pole vault. Although dropping down occasion- ally to Bees where he set the school pole vault rec- ord, DeWitt captured many varsity blue rib- bons. In addition, he ran the high and low hurdles, being particularly out- standing in the high hur- dles. Kemp 440 Matteson 440 Kallem Mile Dawson 880 Toomey Mile 178 in all running events.

Teaching Bee Track Captain Bill Rocthlis- berger how to get off to a good start is Coach Vic Francy. The 1956 Bee track team was one of the finest all around squads in the League. Captain Bill Roethlisberger spearheaded the Cyclone spike- sters by winning the 100 yard dash and setting the school record in the low hurdles. Lloyd Tup- per and Craig Musick shared the spotlight in the 220 yard dash in addition to adding depth to the 100. Mike Cassidy was first man in the broad jump while taking many seconds in the low hurdles. Malcolm Beaty developed into an out- standing performer in both the high jump and the broad jump. Dick Johnson often shared high jump blue ribbons with Beaty and ably backed up Charles Graham in the shotput. Dennis DeWitt set the school pole vault record and was seldom defeated in the high hurdles. Jay Moxley and Jon O’Hara followed DeWitt in both these events. The Bee cindermen had two strong 660 runners in Jim McGill and Jerry Teasley. Likewise, the 1320 produced Gary Nielsen and Jim Lamparter. The Cyclone spikesters made Coach Francy’s season a year to remember. 180 pole vault, relays, hurdles. Jim McGill and Jerry Teasley consistently took first and sec- ond in the 660. McGill's amazing finishing sprint gave him many blue ribbons although Teasley received his share of vic- tories. Gary Nielsen takes first place in the 1320 while Jim Lamparfer finishes a clos’e second. Superior con- ditioning was the key to victory for these two fine runners. Our track men displayed good Bill Roethlisberger leads Mike Cassidy over the low hurdles as Wayne Dye trails behind.

Improving his form on the low hurdles is Cee Track Captain Dick Colby. Coach Vic Francy advises him. The 1956 Cee track team enjoyed an outstanding season under the tutelage of Coach Francy. The team was led by captain Dick Colby who was a consistent winner in the hundred yard dash and the 120 yard low hurdles. Another valuable man was Bockett Hunter through his blue ribbon efforts in the 180 yard dash and the broad jump. A third double winner was Jerry Wylie who was first man in both the high jump and the pole vault. The Whirl- wind spikesters had more than enough good run- ners in the 660. Brian Spengler, Bill Peters, and Dave Stefura usually battled for first place, but when extras were allowed to run, Duane Edling would sometimes outrun all three. Bill Hroscikoski led the Cee shotputters in addition to being second man in the pole vault. Dave Dryden was close be- hind Colby in the hundred yard dash and the low hurdles. Stan Thompson added point-producing depth to the high jump and the broad jump. The Whirlwinds had an exceptional relay team consist- ing of Hunter, Thompson, Dryden, and Colby. The many fine sophomores and juniors on this year’s Cee team will be a great help to the Bee and Varsity teams in the coming years. by our Cee Track Team. Bill Peters outlasts an op- ponent for a victory in the 660. Brian Spongier and Dave Stefura battle for third place. These three never were far apart at the 660 finish line.

All- around catcher Dave Andrews captained the Tornadoes through the season. There were two fine pitchers, Jim Cummings and Vince Palmisano. Cummings was a fast ball pitcher while Palmisano relied on a good curve ball. Ken Adams wasa steady hitter and good de- fensive player at first base. Second sacker Al Son proved himelf very agile on the field while Lynn McCallister at shortstop com- pleted the double-play combination. Gary Morris was outstanding on defense while playing third base. Right fielder Deloy Pope showed a strong arm and a dangerous bat. Bill Goode covered center field as Gary Haynes traversed left field. Don DeLuca proved capably in any field and played often in all three. Shortstop Phil Kaselau and first baseman Tom Rike added depth to the team. Varsity Team Captain, Dave Andrews, and Coach Frederick discussed their team's chances in Foothill League competition many times during the past season. baseball with skill Jeff Prugh sharpens up his batting eye as Sheldon Haase assists behind the plate.

Getting some hot tips on the gome of baseball from coach George Novinger is J. V. captain Gary Ofstedahl. This was the first year of coaching at Hoover for Mr. Novinger. 19? Junior varsity baseball was created at Hoover for the purpose of preparing players for the next year’s varsity squad. George Nov- inger, in his first year as junior varsity coach, developed a sound, well-balanced team. Third baseman, Gary Ofstedahl, team cap- tain, was one of the best all around players on the team, proving himself at bat and on defense. Another fine player was catcher Raymond Lee. The rest of the infield included Mike Hostler at first base, Sal Shandra at second base, and Stan Sorenson at shortstop. Right fielder Gary Shier was the leading junior varsity batter. Scott Van Leuven in cen- ter field and Bob Harder in left field made up the remainder of the outfield. Coach Novinger had three fine pitchers from which to choose: Norm Foster, Ruben Huerta, and Wayne Jar- nagan. Substitutes who performed often were catcher and second baseman Art Colton, first baseman Bill Williamson and outfielders Pat Stoker and Mike Sullivan. players for league 4 ' y ■£ � S k i fi Catcher Raymond Lee tells pitcher Wayne Jarnagan the plans for the next batter.

Schier became one of the top hitters on the team this year while Hostler was a top defensive player. Gary Ofstedahl flips the ball to Stan Sorenson to start a double play. Sorenson was one of the top second sackers in the J. V. league, and Ofstedahl proved his worth at the third base position. 193 Our best tennis players Members of this year's tennis team were from left to right. Front Row: Drugan, Schneider, Larson, Trowbridge, lumsden, Hutchinson; Second Row: Stow, Bell, Guziel, The 1956 Tornado tennis team developed several outstanding players. The strength of the team centered around the five returning lettermen: Jim Drugan, Roger Weinert, Dennis Williams, Paul Hutchinson, and Bob Schneider. Roger Weinert played a strong steady game at the first singles spot. Although a non-letter- man, Bill Lumsden improved remarkably to play second singles. Captain Jim Drugan played third singles until a foot injury side- lined him in the middle of the season. Bob Schneider took over for Drugan and played well consistently. Fourth singles man, Larry Larsen made up for his lack of size with speed and his own particular style of playing. Rowen Brooks improved enough to capture the fifth doubles spot. Paul Hutchinson and Dennis Wil- liams made a fine combination while playing first doubles. Their teamwork added valuable points to the team score. Second doubles was played by Larry Guziel and Mike Bell. Robert Karbe's first year as tennis coach was further complicated by his having a different sixth period class.

Before closing, I would like to thank as many of them as I can. Devoting countless hours and energies was our enthusiastic advisor, Mr. Gordon Footman. Thank you for your help, guidance, and patience. Next, a vote of thanks goes to Mr. Sanderson, Dixon Anderson, and Tom Shaw for making the pictures in this year's Scroll really terrific. You spent many Saturdays and holidays down in the darkroom with Mr. Footman and me developing and printing photographs, not to mention the time taken from classes, lunch, and snack periods to take all the pictures. Your work is the heart of the 1956 Scroll. Miss Gould, your help on financial problems and receipts is greatly appreciated. Thanks to Miss Pollock, and her typing class for cheerfully doing some of the time-consuming clerical work. Always there with the solution to a particularly perplexing problem were Mr. John Usilton and Mr. R. Matthews, who also helped with publicity. Miss Gray and Mrs. Foster, you were ready to help with art work. There are also those outside of school who have given their time, abilities, and useful advice to this year's Scroll. I would like to thank Mr. R. Nelson Carnes and the S. K. Smith Cover Company, Mr. David Henry of the Henry Offset Service, Mr. Hopkins of Mirro-Graphic Yearbooks, and Mr. Mickey Dunlap and Mr. Bert Turney of Dunlap-Turney studios in Glendale for their flawless work on Seniors, theme pictures, and prom coverage. Next, I’d like to personally thank each member of my staff for the wonderful job they have done on their sections. Judy and Barbara, the Senior Section is mar- velous. The Organization Section is bigger and better arranged thanks to your efficient efforts, Mary and Barbara. Bill, Dave, and Rodger, your fabulous job on Sports is greatly appreciated. Cindy, you can be proud of the fine job you have done on Activities. Sherron, your splendid handling of Candids, as well as your help in many other ways, will always be remembered. Sharon, Tassie, and Barbara, your theme copy and captions are magnificent. Your duties as Photography Editor were expertly accomplished, Audrey, and Sue and George, the Sophomore and Junior Sections are superb. Lois and Betty, the Administration Section is unique because of your new ideas and your efficiency in carrying them out. Pat, your help on layout problems and the cover design was excellent. The problems of selling and financing this book were handled brilliantly, Janet and Carolyn, and, John, your help on theme pictures is certainly appreciated. It has been a custom in the past to select the person on the staff who has given the most time, energy, and spirit to Scroll as Assistant Editor. This year the staff selected Dixon Anderson, who truly deserves this honorary position. Thanks again to all of you. This edition of the Hoover yearbook is yours. It has many new features and quite a few changes have been made, but the purpose of this annual remains the same. If, in future years, the 1956 Scroll will help you to recall just a few nostalgic memories of this exciting active year in your lives, then if will be a success. The members of the Scroll staff and I humbly turn this book over to you, the readers of the future. Your Editor, 223 224
