I Noiivoma Dedication We proudly dedicate this annual to Coach Woodruff and the players on the 1955 football team. The boys, under the excellent coaching of Mr. Woodruff, practiced long grueling hours that they might lead their team to victory. Out of thirteen schedule games there were only two loses. Two trophies, Regional-District and Conference, were added to the School a collection of honors won. The time thus spent not only made them victorious but also instilled into their hearts and minds the elements of good sportsmanship} namely, fair play, courage, and teamwork.
