- our year of '56 . . . had ar Our year ot l956 was the best ever. It was the best because we the students, made it so. Washburn is our school, the place where we work and play tor three long years. Long years that seem to hurry by. No matter who we were, how well known or how shy, we all helped to make this year a success. Each phase ot our school lite contributed a great deal. 0 we were guided by the FACULTY 0 we were the leaders. the SENIORS 0 we shall follow, as UNDERCLASSMEN 0 we enriched our life with ACTIVITIES 0 we did our very best in our SPORTS 0 we will long have our MEMORIES We studied, we learned, and we grew, not only in stature, but in wisdom, too. We had a wonderful time at our parties and dances. We enjoyed the soft lights and dreamy music, the gay, colorful spirit, and the blaring jazz that accompanied these events. There was much going steady and breaking up, falling in and out of love. All our fads, our sayings, and the tun we've e part of this year. Through our clubs we rendered worthwhile services to others. We were sometimes happy, sometimes, dissappointed, but always loyal at our games. As some of us graduate and leave this year and this lite to begin a new year and a new lite we will remember Washburn and our last year here. Upon the pages that follow we have endeavored by word and picture to recapture some ot our year, l956.

The lunchroom statt is certainly an important part ot Washburnis busy day, especially to us, the many tamished students who pass through the crowded lunch line, Everyday this 'icrewm has the gigantic task ot preparing enough tood to satisty our ravenous appetites. Weill not torget the controversy about hot dogs, nor the day ice cream sandwiches went on sale. The lunchroom is certainly a welcome reliet atter working hard in classes all morning. There we LUNCHROOM STAFF Mrs. Speer, Mrs. Fanning, Mrs. Koll, Mrs. Werrell, can eat, relax, and catch up on all the latest cossip. Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Hoskins, Mrs. Dehlinger. n THEY MAKE THE WHEELS GO 'ROUND s QFSFJLZ. OFFICE STAFF Mrs. Margaret Woodyard, Mrs. Shirley Chesney, Miss Helen Lund, Mrs. Mildred Addison. Washburn is tortunate to have a capable ottice statt to keep our school running smoothly. The ottice statt consists ot tour clerks. They are kept busy by the many demands ot the school. The statt is in charge ot keeping records ot our attendance, handling all our club and school accounts, seeing that our grades are recorded, making out our program cards, and all other clerical work necessary tor the successtul operation ot our school. Our ottice statt really does more than its share in making Wash- burn's wheels go round. JANITORS Do you know how many baskettuls ot waste , Mr. Smith, Mr. Hembd, Mr. Cosgrove, Mr. Lander, paper a janitor empties each year? . . . or Mr'MattSon. how many pounds ot dust he sweeps up each day? The amount is large in both cases. Every Nutffioodie wrapper we toss on the lunchroom tloor and are too lazy to pick up must sooner in or later be swept up. Every time we drop some- thing in the halls and tail to pick it up, it must be picked up by the janitors. They must be on hand at all school dances to see that things are cleaned up atterwards. It is the janitors, also, who keep our building heated during the trigid days ot the nippy Minnesota winters. fr--- 3 url! U?
