Ux(lis 71006 75efongs to In days to come we hope that this book will grow in value. Many years from now, you will leaf through this 1956 annual and recall various experiences in high school. Many of them will be brought to life by the sight of an old friend's face. We on the annual staff sincerely hope that the 1956 Chipmunk will help you relive your high school days. May it bring you joy on a reminiscent night in the future. We also hope that it will bind you closer to your present friends, that they may not be forgotten later on. We would like to thank all the faculty, students, and friends who helped us to make this book possible. Now we present to you students and faculty of Westwood Junior-Senior High School, your 1956 annual. THE EDITOR Dedication We, the Chipmunk Staff of 1956, dedicate this yearbook to the people of Westwood. We dedicate this book to the people who have lived here and to the people who have died here. To those who have had the experience of living among simple people. We have been fortunate to live in our small community. Many who still live here have watched it grow in population from a few hundred to a few thousand; now they are watching it slowly die. No one knows the fate of our small town, but we shall always remember it as a friendly town. And so, to you, the people of Westwood, California, we dedicate the 1956 edition of the Chipmunk. Going Through Picket Line at Westwood in 1939 The possibility does not seem bright that Westwood, with its traditions and institutions, as we have known it in the past, will continue. The question on all of our lips, as in our minds, is Where do we go from here”? Actually, where we go is not nearly as important as how we go. If we go with bitterness and fear we will all be losers. If, on the other hand, we face an uncertain future with courage and hope, tomorrow will be more meaningful and rewarding than today, regardless of where tomorrow finds us. Leonard Randall Superintendent JJrincipafs 7Res sa ye Are you courageous, reliable, responsible, trustworthy, well informed, just loyal, unprejudiced, tolerant, honorable, friendly, unconceited, neat, clean minded, courteous, a good sport, patriotic, healthy, honest, tactful, studious, and a good citizen? If, after you have examined yourself, you can answer yes in full measure to all of these characteristics, you rank superior on the California Cadet Code of leadership. Should you aspire to be a leader in your chosen field, it will be worth your while to test yourself on these characteristics, one by one, and then set about improving your weaknesses. Leadership, as you can see, is comprised of a complex array of traits. The leader who has marked weaknesses in any one of the twenty-two traits of the code possesses flaws in his leadership, whereas the truly successful leader is a person with a full compliment of well developed character traits backed by determined purpose.

Its main duty is to enforce the safety rules set up by the students themselves. Originally the Control consisted of only Juniors and Seniors. Now Student Control consists of Senior high student body officers, and two representatives elected from each Senior high class. Bottom row, left to right: Alice Ramirez. Ramona Sundquist. Daniel Lopez, Linda Glenn, Coleen Bork. Second row: Ernie Casillas. Rob- ert Glenn, Bill Kirk, Charles Oxford, Dick Doering. c Student Cjour Student Court has recently split from Student Control. Functioning as a separate body, they sentence the violators who have been turned in to them by the Student Control. The Student Court consists of five judges chosen from grades nine through twelve by a faculty committee. The judges are Glen Thurgood, Rolland Wake- man, Vivian Commingdeer, Don Diggs, and Wendell Snook. First row,-left to right: Don Diggs, Vivian Comingdeer, Rolland Wakeman.

Highlighting our first year, was the winning of honorable mention in the yell contest. Our social activities, while in the seventh grade, were comprised of a dance, and a picnic in Clear Creek. As eighth graders, our year was very uneventful. This was our most drab year as far as class activities were concerned. We again took honorable mention in the yell contest. Obviously we were improving, proving to the world we were loud-mouths, which no one has been able to disprove to this day. As freshmen, we slowly advanced and became more active. This was due to maturation, and the fact we were allowed to join most of the school organizations. As we grew, so did our activities. We held several noon dances and sales, and in addition sponsored a P.T.A. program. Again we win! As you have probably guessed, the yell contest! Truth marches on! Loudmouths. In addition, for an informal class, we had two informal parties. The big day arrived! Officially, we were sophomores. At this phase in our education, we were allowed to participate in all senior high activities. We knocked them dead that year! We started by winning second place in both the song and yell contest. We had improved! And, in addition, we were the first class to be awarded the school spirit banner (as you know, this is awarded for outstanding sportsmanship and school spirit). Qur socialization was improved by our sponsoring the annual Christmas Dance around the theme of the Marshmallow World.” (Although we had a swimming party that year, we can't think of a clever way to say it, so we aren't mentioning it). Time was running out. Oh! perish the thought, we were juniors. We now started the next to the last lap. We realized at this point that we had to improve our finances for our senior year. At every opportunity, with concession booths and such, we made money. Among these mad methods, was our Junior Play, Drums of Death, finally, FIRST PLACE! But, alas, we lost our lovely voices in the song contest and fell to a lowly honorable mention in the yell contest. During this year, we sponsored a beautiful Stardust Dance, with an appropriate theme, Stairway to the Stars. To top off a very successful year, we assisted with plans for the Junior-Senior Prom, whose theme, Moonlight and Roses produced an enchanting effect. S Day, August 31, 1955! The attack had begun. We were high and mighty seniors. We were still short of funds, and so it was necessary to decorate for the Firemans Ball, under the brilliant direction of Ma Clagctt ' and Daddy-O Collier This was very advantageous for us seniors because we used the same decorations for the Harvest Moon Ball. As for honors in our senior year, we started by winning second place in the song contest and honorable mention in the yell contest. After semester finals were over, we were happy to discover that we were eligible to receive our diplomas. Of course, you realize that during our senior year it was necessary that we order announcements, caps, and gowns, etc. With all of the routine preparations complete, graduation was in sight. At the time of this writing, the activities yet to come were numerous, including: Junior-Senior Picnic and Swimming Party, Skip Day, Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate, and finally, when we the Class of 1956 walk down the aisle in our blue and gray, bidding farewell to Westwood High.
