Willmar High School - Senior Yearbook (Willmar, MN)

Page 9 text:

Willmar high school has experienced a year of many changes. 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
