OLVERINES Si I :LVHOTOLAB Wolver-News, Photolab Cover it All There were many troubles to be battled in the beginning, for Wolver-News. Probably the most detrimental was the reduction of the staff from 20 last year to a record low of nine. Only two of these were returning letterrnen as Mr. Cooper put it. In the same interview he added, lf I were a sports coach I would say we are having a building year. Other problems were the overload in Photolab, a change of printers and a schedule change from last year. Even with the problems in the beginning the staff covered the school to keep the student body informed. There were many interesting articles written, such as one page on research articles on the chemistry of anger which was three weeks in writing. Chris Devine, Lucy Fong, Diana Rodriguez and Kathy Ogden were several of the many fine reporters. Chris also wrote many articles for the Teen Gazette. One of the outstanding beginners was Scott Jackson. His famous quote was printed in the November issue: A newspaper should always try to raise the reading level of its readers, and so raise the intellect of society without writing above its readers so that they can't understand. This year's Managing Editor Vincent Pacheco keeps things under control. Diana Rodriguez, sen- ior, works hard edit- ing final copy. Diana wrote the whole front --- page in the November 24 issue, excellent ar- ticles about unique and foreign stu- dents. ' i l K7 ff? af? T ..r.

Cbelowl PROUD HISTORY The first high school in the Tolleson Union High School District started in 1920 at Pendergast Elementary. A small wooden building was moved on containing two classrooms, one for each of its two teachers. There were only four graduates in the first class! CSeen on the rightj ln 1927 the high school was moved to the Christian Church in Tolleson, where Circle K is today. ln 1928 Old Main was completed. A circular drive ran in front of the school for those students driving horses and buggies. Hitching posts were on 94th Avenue. The 1930's brought athletics to Tolle- son. Basketball was our first interscho- lastic sport. We won Consolation two years in a row. Basketball became so popular that in 1937 we built our first gymnasium. lt still stands as our pre- sent day cafeteria. CSeen on the lefty In the 1940's we added baseball, ten- nis, and six-man football. ln 1948 the Wolverine Band held its first concert in the auditorium. The 5O's saw many changes at Tolle- son. ln 1951 Freshman initiation and hazing had to stop, due to the subse- quent hospitalization of two of the freshman initiates. At this time Seniors were given an official ditch-day in place of Freshman initiation. ln 1955 the three yell leaders, two girls and one boy, known as, Wolverettes, present- ed two new songs to the school. Our first fight song Fight on you Wolver- ines: and our Alma Mater All Hail to Tolleson. On May 2, 1960 the Swimming pool was opened for student use. In 1961 the Board of Education decided to pour U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY GLEE CLUB concert on March 9, 1982. As Tolle son was an Honor Nav School they visited us to promote the Naval Academy. the patio behind old Main. The patio I could be used for dances, banquets and other activities. During the early sixties the patio was used almost every Friday ' and Saturday night. 1 . . . 'sir-sf-V-.fzfi .fi 1. D i X
