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.
