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. Wilrnar's first boy and girl co-editors of the WIHISEAN, Don Franklin and Marilyn Dawson, supervised the production of the annual.

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.
