Lochrie, who served on the Ilwaco 'School District Board from March 8, 1927 until his death, February 18, 1956. During that time the school plant has been entirely rebuilt, with substantial improvements at great cost, and the school grounds greatly improved in every way, notably in the addition of Peterson Field for athletics. For his part in the advancement of the llwaco High School, as well as the grade school, we tender our deepest apprecia- tion on his behalf to the dear ones he left behind. FOREWORD We live only today. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is only a vision, a hope. Fortunately, perhaps, time makes dim and ultimately obliterates the events of yesterday, P l e a s ant and gratifying experiences are for- gotten as well as unpleasant things. As the months and years go by, names, faces, and episodes cannot be recalled. The objective of this yearbook is to enable us to, in a manner, re- live four of the most important years of our life. We now must separate. No longer can we continue down the broad highway as a unit. Each of us must select and follow his or her individual pathway or trail, alone. Teamwork is ended. Months and years must pass before we can prop- erly measure and evaluate the influence of our fellow students and ih- structors on our lives resulting from the four years of close association. As men and women we now assume newlresponsibilities. Our path- way may, in places, lead up steep hills and be strewn with boulders. We will need to pause and look back gathering new strength and courage to carry on, keeping in mind that the game is not over until the third out of the ninth inning or the old clock shows no more seconds left. Let us go forth and face the future courageously, know that this RECORD of events chronicled and depicted here shows that the Class of 1955-56 has honored the Ilwaco High School, its instructors, and ad- ministrative officials, and has met the expectations of our parents, and friends.

To you graduates, I hope this year, l956, will not be an end to your education. 'It need not be formal, that is classroom educa- tion. Do not fail to take advantage of all the opportunities around you, and there are many by which you may increase your know- ledge. For you know, we Americans have createda complex govern- ment. It cannot be run by ignorant people. For you to be able to take your just part in this great government you will constantly need to grow in knowledge. Best wishes to all of you.

The evening of December 3, 1955, will always be remembered by the Juniors as the gala Junior Prom, with ML Sandman as the theme, and Donna Deccio reigning as queen. March 2, i956 was the evening ot the presentation of Dollars to Doughnuts , a three-act farce by Glenn Hughes. Early in the spring, the seniors were honored when they were given by the juniors the long-awaited Junior-'Senior Banquet. Looking back into a very successful and memorable year, the juniors ended a busy, but exciting and prosperous school year. 5o'PHioMoliESl K First Row left to right: J. Chruch, H. Hctley, M.

A grand parade started it off, with games, songs, dances, races, and a whole pile containing one shoe from each Frosh. The refreshments consisted of garlic, onions, tabasco sauce, lemons, raw liver and chili peppers. Everyone, but the Frosh, seemed to have had a very enjoyable time. The loss of the 'Student Body ticket race cost the 'Sophomore Class a dance in honor of the victorious Juniors, who came in first. The dance was held September l6, 1955, in the high school auditorium from 7:30 to lO:OO P.M. The Juniors were admitted without charge and were served tree refreshments. A good time was had by all. The 'Sophomore girls served at the Junior-Senior Banquet as usual, for it follows the tradition of former years of 'Sophomore Classes. Tom Murakami Jean Murakami Nancy Kary President Vice- President Secretary l Vince Weber Allen Hansen President Vice-President FRESHME Highlights The forty-six new extras, better known to you as Freshmen, started their hiqh school career on 'September 6, l955. A week later the Freshmen were fully initiated by the Sophomores. During the tall, officers were elected as follows: President Vince Weberj Vice President, Allen Hansen: and Secretary Liz, Sundstrorn. Many Freshrne n turned out for athletics, band, and other ac- tivities, and throughout the year haxe worked hard on these ac- tivities. Because they have worked hard and had fun, they hope they've been a credit to llwaco High School. Liz Sundstrom Secretary First Row: lvan Wolfe, Allen Dobbs, Max Rutzer.

Nancy Kary President Ann Johnson Secretary Phyllis Foster Vice-President TQRCH H0 OR Torch Honor is the one organization whose object is the recognition ot outstand- ing academic work. The standards for mem- bership are higher than for the Honor Roll. The basis tor membership is the earning a definite number 'ot' points, five for an Ap three tor a B7 one for a C7 D or F automatically dis- qualities anyone for consideration. Any sub- ject which is not academic does not give grade points. After the freshman year the student must also participate in at least one activity each semester. fA bar is added to the pin for each year it is earned. A student who is in Torch Honor all his four years has a torch placed on his diploma at graduation. + In addition to keeping- their own 'grades high, Torch' Honor mem- bers assist other students, endeavor to help new students feel a part of llwaco High School, and keep Ya scrapbook of social activities. The high point ot the year for the students whorhave achieved Torch Honor membership is the presentation of pins at a special as- sembly. They are entertained bythe P.T.A. at a semitormal dessert or recognized bylthat organization in some other way. ...M mm-e1,e-.Imam I -feat ll?

KNCCK O WOOD The annual Senior Play entitled Knock on Wood was presented December 9, to a huge crowd. Miss Eleanor Lutes directed the play which was a big success. Calvin Pynn, famous elderly detective, played by Jim Orander was quick to win the love of the audience. Peter Crossett, the struggling young assistant was well protrayed by J im Beals who solved the most perplexing problem of the plot with the clever aid of his fiancee Eleanor Brown, played by Loma Leback. Mrs. Jasper, portrayed by Carol Johnson, captured her listeners atten- tion by funny intrusions throughout the play. Ned Andrews hilariously portrayed by Cullen Baker was another standout in the play. Mar Carson played by Phyllis Foster with a dashing personality was quick to catch the eyes of the audience. Patty Osborne, the witty youngster and Dale's date was acted expertly by Patty Lincoln. Vivian March, the hysterical young woman, played by Ann Johnson, created intense climax for the audience. R. March, Vivian's supposedly crazed brother played by Clark Johnson with the help of Mr. Kinsey, Larry Ward and Vivian hilariously keep the plot rnovingtswiftly. Taxidriver Willy Bales was of vital importance. GLEE CLUB First row left to right: L. Cox, L. Wolfe, L. Clark, D. Reinikkd, C. Rutzer, L. Hanson, B. McNamara, D. Sugarman, G. Rice, J. Mosher, M.

I955 FISHERMEN WIN FIFTH STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP The Ilwaco Fishermen brought their record to 41 wins out of the last 43 games as they suc- cessfully ended an undefeated 1955 campaign on November 10, with a 19-6 win over Valley. For the season opener, the Fishermen traveled to Warrenton where they rolled over the Warriors 46-O. Nothing spectacular happened in the game as Ilwaco easily scored in every period. 'Scoring touchdowns for Ilwaco were: .lim Orander 3, Phil 'Stamp 1, George Leage 1, Monty Baker 1, John Bell 1. Point after touchdowns were scored by: Dave Gradt 1, Dave Weber 1, and Jim.Orgnder, 2. The first home game of the season saw the Fishermen run wild over Astoria' s J V' s. The final score was a lopsided 72-O. 'Scoring touchdowns were: Phil 'Stamp 2, George Leage 1, Monty Baker 1, Jim Orander 3, Dale O'Connor 2, Cullen Baker 1, and Dave Weber 1. The extra points were scored by: Leage 2, Weber 1, and Orander 1. A safety was scored as an Astoria player recovered Gradt's fumble in the end zone.

Don Buhmon, C. For the third win the Fishermen traveled ,as far as the 'Straits of Juan de Fuca. The grid battle w as with Neah Bay who ended last year's season tied with Ilwaco for fifth in the AP 'State Football Poll. When the final gun went off the score was 40-O bringing llwaco'stotal points :scored in the first three games to 158 as to the opponents' O. Dale O' Connor was leading scorer in the game as he racked up two touchdowns and one extra point for the total of l3 points. He was fol- lowed by Phil 'Stamp who made 12 points on two touchdowns. .lim Qrander and Cullen Baker each made a touchdown and the scoring was rounded out by two points after touchdowns by Orander and one by Leage. The second home game was a real thriller which saw llwaco come from behind in the final minutes to beat the South Bend Indians 7-6 for the first county league game. Nevers intercepted a pass early in the fourth quarter and ran 28 yards to score the first touchdown of the season against the Fishermen. The extra point attempt was fumbled.lLater in the period Leage sailed a perfect 20 yard pass to end Phil 'Stamp with 'Stamp literally overpowering the Indian' s defense as he stiff- armed off two would-be tacklers and carried a third over the goal with him runningi3l yards after catching the ball. Orander dived over on a wedge play for the game winnihg point. A week later the high flying Fishermen romped over the luckless Naselle Comets for their second league win. Stamp, Leage, Orander, C. Baker, B. Biggs, Herman and Murakami all scored touchdowns while Leage scored two points after touchdowns and M.. Baker. one.- , .Ilwaco faced its only A Team of the year when they came up against Evergreen on the Plains- mens' home field. On the fourth play of the game after receiving Evergreen' s kickoff, George Leage passed to Cullen Baker who covered the remaining two yards to pay dirt unmolested. Leage skipped the end for the extra point. Shortly, thereafter George Fisher ran 47 yards, ,then passed to George Pebbles for an ll yard touchdown play. The play was pretty even from then until the fourth quarter when the Fishermen finally caught fire and began playing good ball. A 73 yard sustained drive brought the game winning touchdown for llwaco. After three long-gain passes from Leage to Gradt and a 24 yard run by Weber, Crander cracked over from one yard out for the score. Leage passed to Orander for the extra point. The final score was l4f7. For the seventh win of the season, Ilwaco's championship bound Fishermen stopped Forks High on Peterson Field in a mud splattered game that ended with a score of 18-O. Orander scored twice on short plunges and Leage returned a punt for 57 yards and the final touchdown. Ken Driscoll, L. G. Edu Elm, C. Bill Frazier, L. G. David Grcdt, L. E. Bob Huitt, R. T.

The championship game which brought Ilwaco' s most stauch football rivals, the Valley Vik- ings, to Peterson Field on the 10th of November saw eight seniors finish their high school careers for Ilwaco. These were Co-captains Phil Stamp, End: Jim Orander, Fullbackg Cullen Baker, Half- backg Dale O'Connor, I-lalfbackg George Leage, Quarterback: Willy Bales, Tackle: Bill Frazier, Guardg cmd Edu Elm, Center were the other seniors to play their last high school game that night. The game was guite one-sided as the Fishermen were not to be denied on their last game. The first score came in the first quarter when Orander completed an llwaco 54 yard drive with a four- yard run over left tackle. A Leage to Stamp pass made the score 7-0. That was the score at the half also. Early in the third quarter Dave Weber scored from eight yards out to complete a 59 yard drive. The conversion attempt failed and this left the score 13-0. Later in the same period Leage passed to 'Stamp for a 19 yard touchdown. Again the conversion failed, the score was 19-O. . After a bad punt in the fourth quarter, Valley gained control of the ball deep in Ilwaco terri- tory. The first Viking drive was stopped on the one-yard line and Ilwaco took over. llwaco then fumbled on the ll and after three plays Clements of the Vikings banged over for Valley's only score. The conversion was stopped. After the game the jubiliant Fishermen proceeded to rip the goal posts down and throw coaches Don Lee and A. Lord and the manager in the showers. V Y David Sugarmun, L. E.

Edward Elm President Willy Bales Vice-President LETTERMEN'S CLUB This year's L.ettermen's Club has been very active in school activities. Lettermen Officers are: Edu Elm, President: Willy Bales, Vice-President: and Cullen Baker, Secretary. The club has sponsored two after game dances and two award assemblies. The dances were juke-box style with refresh- ments furnished by lettermen. The profits were put in the club fund. The two award assemblies were for football. ln one assembly, gold footbqlls were awarded and in the other, football letters and senior jerseys.. Under discussion and inves- tigation of the L.ettermen's Club is the possibility of a monogram for the back of Lettermen's sweaters. Other schools have them and we would like them, too, if we find one suitable. Another attraction of this year' s club was the football demonstrations given at pep assemblies. This was given to enable the student body to understand just what went on in a football game.
