The fqilro . W od provides wo E Cur Community Cooperates Our community was founded by Scandanavian settlers in 1869 in the hopes of utilizing the rich soil and surrounding lakes. Their dream has grown into an outstanding farm region and well-known railroad center. Now, in l956, several industries are contemplating moving into this locality, and a planning commission is making preparation for the new additions to our city. A radar station is also being built by the U. S. Air Force, and a Clean-Up Foot Lake committee is selling memberships in order to provide a local swimming beach. Not only is our community striving to improve business and recreational facilities, but it is also concerned with solving school problems. J' ' . ,,...+-- ' Willmar, Minnesota, 1956 in Educating Students A Citizens' Committee was organized this year to study the school situation and to make recommendations. For many years the Parent-Teachers' association has helped the Willmar school system attain its aims. This year the school board set up a tentative build- ing program. Our community also provided us with business opportuni- ties, by giving 26 seniors on-the-job training. In addition to providing us with an education, our community is responsible for our religious instruction through its 21 religious bodies. The home, in addition to the church and school, completes the spiritual, educational, and physical requirements for the youth of our community. id Our community is noted for its many churches and active religious functions.

Perhaps the most significant is the presence of our two exchange students, Toshie Sekino, a Japanese girl, and Arthur Rodel, a Swiss boy. Through our classes, organizations, and social life, we have tried to show them the American way of life. Toshie and Arthur were enrolled during one of the most crucial years in the history of our school. The overcrowded classrooms, lack of adequate epuipment, and the first seven hour schedule, were caused by crowded conditions resulting from a need for consolidation in this community. To Toshie and Arthur, as well as to ourselves, the library has provided a source of information and enjoyment, the lunchroom, a setting for food and fellowship, the halls, an opportunity for friendship, and the classrooms, a source of knowledge and understanding. Our social events, concerts, plays, school paper, and athletic events have supplemented our academic program. In this book of memories we have attempted to reflect this school year as Toshie and Arthur have seen it, and as we will remember it. Crisis in I955-'5 Informal gatherings are characteristic of Willmar High students. The assembly program, presented every Wednesday, begins with the Pledge to the flag. The lunchroom provides students with an opportunity for food and discussion. sb 7 j6M6wZ6Mm UJZCl Li? ---N-ww, 3 32225, Q ' Hkgvsr. .X is , I , igmgmf Q w . ,,'eYL wx , 'A aus 4. All the world is a stage, and men and women are merely players On it. We not only owe each of our teachers gratitude for the role they play as educators, but also for being experimentors, creators, trainers, interpreters, and counselors. Our thanks is extended to them for the help they have given us in our classes, and for the time they have spent directing the extra-curricular activities. This year is a year of changes in our classes. A new debate course has been added, another new classroom was built on third floor, and French ll was offered for the first time, and because of overcrowded conditions, we operate on a seven hour schedule. Whether our future is a profession, a skill, or the home, our teachers have willingly guided and molded the planning of our lives. Teachers Assume Man Roles Accountants 3 2 t'fi e is N - lc - A A Q.

Larson, M.A.U. of Minnesota and assistant principal, Willis Black MA their many years at Willmar high while looking through one of the first Wihiseans Colorado College of Education. Supervisors of Students Schedule Keenly appreciated for their admin strative capabilities and their warm friendship to all, are the members of the administration. Progressive and always alert to new ideas is our school board. Planning improvements, financing school expenditures and running the school smoothly are some of the many tasks performed by the board. Consolidation and expansion are some of the problems facing the school board this year. The solution will be determined by the rural popula- tion of our community. Our superintendent, A, M, Wisness, is always striving for the highest standards in order to make our high school years happy and successful. Despite the cares and problems as head of the school system, he takes active part in many affairs in the community. Always willing to help the students is our senior high principal, A. T, Larson. He counsels, guides and organizes the school program. Our new junior high principal, Willis Black, smooths out all affairs concerning the junior high school. No, this isn't an assembly program, but lmogene Krahling's classroom built in the old auditorium balcony-an example of over-crowding in Willmor High. Conducting a department meeting are English teachers Maurine Struthers, B.A. Macalester: Imogene Krahling, B.S, Mankato State Teachers, Dorothy Dalsgaard, M.A.U. oi Minnesota, Ethel Hoagland, B.A. Macalester, and Helen Peterson, M.A,U. of Minnesota. Interpreters of Literature, Grammar No education is complete without the interpretation of literature ond grammar by our English teachers. With their help we learn to appreciate novels, plays, short stories, and poetry. lt is with their guidance and skilled direction we learn the correct use of the English language. We master the art of expressing ourselves through our daily assignments and yearly term papers. Our English classes are also designed to help us gain better vocal expression. When we give reports, present short dramas or contribute to the class discussion, we receive practice in developing our speaking ability. Always ready to lend a helping hand, English instructors often serve as counselors as well as educators. Our interpreters are truly an important part of our school. The type of stage used in Shakespeare's time is one phases of English taught in Helen Peterson's classes. mn.. l gl.: ty xl N ii 4. of the f. ig i 'J l.. tk if .5 x Have you ever wondered why an object burns, how a fish can breathe under water, or how lar it is to a star? If you have, you can find the answer in chem- istry, physics, biology, or general science. ln biology, the science of living things, the dis- section af frogs, the study of birds, and the human body are included. Chemistry and physics offer practical knowledge useful every day of our lives, whether we plan to further our education or not. By experimenting we are taught to learn by doing. An elementary course, consisting of the basic fundamentals of many phases of science, is taught to the iunior high students.

The social studies teachers are an important part of our educational program. Using situations from the past, they show us how to cope with problems of the present age. Through the medium of tests, written and oral reports, discussions, and lectures, we get a basic understanding of social studies. Mr. Reuben Lundquist, the eleventh grade social teacher heads the senior high social department. Due to overcrowded conditions, a new program was initiated in Willmar High three years ago, wherein the seventh and eighth graders spend a period of three hours each day learning social and English from the same teacher.

Because it is such a valuable subject, students are often recommended to take as much math as possible in high school. Mathematics is essential in every occupation-from homemakers with their daily budgets, to teachers who must compute grades, from engineers who prepare building plans to painters who proportionally mix their colors. Each uses some phase of calculation. Heading the mathematics department is Edith Emery, who teaches higher algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and Trigonometry. Also teaching higher mathematics is Howard Iverson who teaches higher and elementary algebra.

U. of Minnesota, and Mike Cullen, MS. U. of Minnesota. 1 5 Practical experiences and textbook assignments are combined ta mold future farmers and skilled laborers. The agriculture department advises students in home projects and provides the source for many exhibits at county and state fairs. Mike Cullen and Leonard Kodet head the agriculture department and advise the local chapter at the Future Farmers of America. They teach the technical points af farming and new scientific methods. It is their duty to open the door to better American agriculture. Industrial arts and agriculture classes, ever expanding, are now also being taught in the shop at the athletic field. Neal Anderson, Eldon Everets, Bill Hanson, and Walter Kakesch instruct welding, woodworking, and drafting to boys interested in these fields. Bookends, lamps and welding exhibits are examples at the projects done in the industri- al department. This year a Co-educational class consisting af black painting and prac- tical home mechanics is being offered. 16 st ' 33, J' .1 gc' xg. ws ,. N 'sa K TRAI The junior high students, under Verne Holte and Alice Callahan, are taught theltundamentals of sewing and cooking. They learn how to make muffins, bread and candy. In addition to these skills, the students also have sewing projects ranging from aprons in the seventh grade to suits in the ninth grade. Agnes Brandvold is Willmar high schooI's trainer of future homemakers. The students study house-planning, color combinations and the care of children. In advanced home economics students learn the more difficult ele- ments of sewing and cooking. Edith Johnson and Evelyn Sandie lay the foundation for future book- keepers and stenogrophers. They teach the elementary steps of these subjects which are essential to students who plan to enter the business world. Miss Johnson and Miss Sandie also teach typing to those who plan to attend college or desire the skill for personal needs. Agnes Brandvold BA St Olaf shows a student some techniques in upholstering a chair, one of the practical projects taught in home living. Alice Callanan, B.S. St. Catherine's, and Verne Holte, B.S.

To Meet Needs of Student Body Combining enthusiasm, willingness to work, and much effort, the Junior Student council aids the Senior Student council in their unending projects. Student welfare is the foremost objective of the council. Discussing student problems and attempting to solve them has been their main concerns. For our Homecoming festivities the Junior Student Council Planned the bon-tire. Community activities such as the clothing drive and the March of Dimes have kept this organization busy. The Junior Student council members were chosen as representatives and alternates last fall, Officers were elected in the preceding spring. Under the guidance of adviser, Mr. Willis Black, another successful year comes to a close.

The crowded school conditions and the need for a new teachers' lounge moved the WILOHI headquarters from room 210 to room 211. The sharing of this room with three classes makes long hours ot work after school necessary. On the t1rst day ot school, a special issue welcomed students back to the 1955-56 school year. For the first time in the WlLOHl's history a special, all picture, Homecoming issue was published. At the annual iournalism banquet, January 23, Carole Nordgren was announced as editor- in-cheit for the 1956 WILOHI. Page editors, assistants and reporters were also appointed at this time. This is our school, the theme of the '56 Wihisean, was developed by portraying all phases of school life and the relationship of the school to the community. Considerable time and work was given by the editorial stan, composed of 25 students, in the hope of raising the Wihisean rating from a first class to an All-American. Unlike other years, this year's book is a long rectangle, rather than the standard size. Another new feature this year is the spring supplement which will review spring events, such as gradu- ation, never before fully covered in the annual. Co-editors Marilyn Dawson and Don Franklin and Advisor Miss Dorothy Morrow began work on the annual in August by attending a journal- ism conference in Chicago. Early in the fall more ideas for the annual were obtained at a conference in Marshall, Minnesota.

The club, under the supervision ot Miss Alicia Noonan, seeks to learn more about the uses ot Latin in everyday lite. Pep tests and assemblies that portray Latin customs and tables are the club's act- ivities. The Der Schnickeltritzer Klub, more commonly known as the German club, has become well-known tor its entertaining pep tests and assemblies. At their regular meetings, the members speak in German and learn to sing German songs. Members, however, can be heard at any time in the halls talking their new language. The club is under the direction of Mr. Robert Smith. Assisting school librarian, Miss Evelyn Dieke, is but one of the beneficial services given by the Library club. The members ot the club assist in library duties during their tree hours and before and after school. Their artistic abilities keep the library pleasant and colortul. Big event ot the year for the club was the annual Book week which was highlighted by an assembly program featuring two skits, Boys in Books and Girls in Books. During the week, the club also sponsored radio programs, a faculty tea and a quiz printed in the local daily paper. The World Attairs club, advised by Reuben Lundquist, presents and dis- cusses current event topics at their meetings.

The group presented highlights from Brigadoon and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desir- ing by Bach with a mixed chorus. The orchestra and mixed chorus gave two exchange concerts consisting of above selections, Prayer from Hansel and Gretel and a novelty number Minuet in Four . Presented this year, for the first time, was a spring assembly program. Another important event was the District Music Contest Festival on April Qi, when the orchestra and string ensembles participated. The officers of the group elected last fall were Perry Anderson, president, Don Franklin, vice-president, Helen Heath, secretary-treasurer, and Diane Gustafson and Loretta Gilbertson, librarians. Mr. Victor Olsen, director, gave hours of time for orchestra practices and individual lessons. To provide the school and community with music and to allow students to devlop musical abilities are the obiectives of the orchestra. Senior High Band. Standing from left to right: Mr. V. Olsen D.

The trip was made possible by selling magazines and candy. Unlike other years, this year's schedule included band practice every day. The annual appearance at the County Fair and attendance at the University of Minnesota Band day were tirsts on the school year's calendar. The band's marching formations during half-time at home football games and the music at basketball games was always welcome and enjoyed. God of Our Fathers , performed with a mixed chorus, and the overture, Fra Diavalo and Triumphal March from Quo Vadis were the features of the annual Pop Concert. The band and instrumental ensembles performed at the district music contest which was held at our school. Last on the school year's calendar was the appearance at commencement. Marching at Willmar's Kaffe Fest and other cele- brations throughout the state is on the summer's schedule. The officers are Dennis Opheim, president, Marilyn Dawson, vice-president, Irene Peterson, secretary-treasurer, and librarians, Don Heath and Karen Schennum, who supervised the band's projects. The band's director is Mr. Victor Olsen. .fiwewwmffzf it vw V 9 ,y.

Winter time sport, basketball, occupies members ot GAA as they are seen here participating in a game. The noise shaking the frame of the old building and disturbing ianitors, usually comes from the girl's gym where members of the Girl's Athletic association are enioying many kinds of sports. Under the direction of Miss Hattie Rosentreter, the girls participate in kittenball, volleyball, basketball, tumbling, and badminton. Helping Miss Rosentreter are officers who include president, Rosalie Bangtson, vice-president, Vianne Eliason, secretary, Solvig Sorem, and treasurer, Corinne Fauchald. The tall GAA activity was the annual Little Brown Jug tourney in volleyball, the sophomores walked away with the grand honors. Election of the club's olticers was also in the fall of the year. When the snovv fell and the thermometers dropped below zero, the girls dressed in shorts and worked up a sweat tumbling, playing badminton and basketball. The tumblers worked on new stunts and polished up the old ones to prepare for half-time entertainment at the basketball games. The tumbling consisted of pyramids, samersaults, flips, and other stunts. Basketball and badminton were played with girls from Monte, Granite Falls, and Olivia, An invitation from the Monte GAA was answered when a busload attended a skating party in January at the Monte skating rink. When spring rolls around, kittenball starts, and many GAA members count the points they have earned during the year toward a GAA emblem or W . These awards aren't easily obtained, but the members who receive them have worked hard while the others have many memories.

Here Dennis Sanlcey, on the hand stand. Rirne is doing the one hand stand. Intramurals Attracts Man Boys To Its Varied Sports Activities Part of this-our school---are our intramurals. Intramurals this year consisted of tumbling and gymnastics on the highbar. Intramurals have always played a very important part in the sports department of Willmar high school because they give everyone a chance to participate. They also encourage good sportsmanship, team unity and cooperation. Tumbling, volleyball and the highbar activities have not been affected as much by the schedule change. Tumbling is especially important to Intramurals because it is often offered as entertain- ment during the half-time at our basketball games. The participation in volleyball and the High Bar is strictly for one's own pleasure, since the participants very seldom exhibit their ability in front of audiences. Volleyball results in hot rivalry between the teams as they constantly try to keep the volleyball on the opposite side of the net. Always striving for perfection and new stunts are the boys who participate on the high bar. The high bar and the tumbling squads are coached by Bob Lehnman. The athletic department itself is under the direction of Al Lucas. AI Lucas and Ace Hoberg have also arranged a recreational program during weekends when different age groups are scheduled in basketball and other activities in the boys gymnasium. til i All the members of the gymnastic team are shown here arranged around the horse , on which many of their stunts are performed. 2.

The junior high, although part ot WHS, is almost a school in itselt. lt is governed by its own student council under the supervision ot the junior high prin- cipal, Willis Black. They present assembly programs with assistance from the junior high stage crew. Seventh and eighth graders, unlike other pupils, use a class arrangement known as the block system. Under this plan students have the same teacher daily tor English and geography and weekly tor citizenship. Weekly visits to the school library are taken in each English class. Junior high pep tests are held in the junior study hall under the direction of the B team cheerleaders. With parents as chaperons, the teen canteen provides atter-game entertainment and parties tor all occasions. Because ot its own newspaper, band, and choir the junior high receives the experience and training necessary to make it successful when it assumes the responsibilities ot senior high. Lovv-men on the high school ladder this year are The seventh graders, who, unlike previous years, have a block program ot studies. They have also enioyed tor the first time their own private lockers, Another Tirst for The seventh graders was the party held January 20. Seventh graders use the special instruction they received in The grades by making music an important part ot their extracurricular activities and organizations. Junior High chorus and band claimed a large number ot these students. Representative seventh graders are music minded John Dean, vvho sang the lead in Amahl and the Night Visitors , and sports enthusiast Bob Evans.

The main purpose ot senior high is to prepare students for a more mature lite, socially through the parties and extra curricular activities, emotionally through the counciling department, and intel- lectually through the class room studies. Willmar high school students are oftered a variety ot activities in the tields ot music, science, busi- ness, drama and iournalism. Belonging to these organizations broad- ens the students' scope and stimulates turther studies in various areas. A supplement to the classroom studies and organization is the testing program. Various tests are given to the students throughout high school. ln tenth grade the Turse Stenographic Aptitude is given to students interested in that field ot work. Eleventh graders are given the American Council ot Education test and the Otis Mental Ability test. These tests measure general ability and the type ot course the individual should take it he goes on to college. The seniors are given the Kuder Interest Inventory which measures the interest ot the students and divides them into ten ditterent categories. The year's events-Homecoming, Career day, the Christmas opera, the Easter cantata, Sadie Hawkins' and the prom-will be a symbol ot our high school days. 2, f X ,Y ,I r' fi f fl, K IQ, Carter, Neill, oi Way , B gtsonj Myron, Alfstod, Bob, Angus?

Some of us remember the many hours spent on extra-curricular activities while others remember working at stores uptown. But we all had the some homework and many of the same classroom experiences. As sophomores we were wise fools and could finally enjoy the senior high right of attending school parties, Our first class party Blue Hawaii successfully opened our social life. As iuniors Vonnie, Jim, Cookie, and Jerry demonstrated their acting ability in the melodrama Under the Gaslight . After finally deciding on a class ring, we streamed to Paffrathe's to order them. We all worked hard on our prom Fantasia , and it became a dream world come true. Now we are seniors, Arthur and Toshie came from across the seas to spend this year with us, Ro was chosen the Sweetheart of Willmar High . At the half of football games lrene, Marilyn, and Lois strutted before the band, Rime, Dallas, Connie, and Elaine represented WHS at the state student council convention. Our football team won the conference championship and Ray was honored as captain. Basketball put the spotlight on Zup, Lefty, Jerry, and Flip. These are but a few of our memories as we look behind us. As we leave WHS, we see before us a lifetime of new experiences which will become new memories.
