Taking time out during a board meeting, all the king's men and Mrs. Lamm pose for the photographer. The members of the executive board work long and hard on the many problems which arise due to the addition being planned. Presently, the final plans for the addition are being formulated. A resolution is being considered to increase the size of the gymnasium and the cafeteria. It has also been requested that space be provided for a mechanical drawing room and a greenhouse. The plans of the new edifice were recently explained in detail by the architect. Other issues discussed by the members of the board include: district-owned school buses, completion of the Lincoln Park grade school, and a site of 34 acres. The size and need of an addition is constantly a basic problem. THE FIDDLERS THREE The help of the Hfiddlers three is constantly sought by the students. Our secretaries can also be found checking the tax duplicate, as done by Richard Keener on the left, or checking outgoing transcripts, as Mrs. Dorothy Hafer, seated, and Miss Edith Heedy are doing. 7 Seated are Mrs. Darlyne S.

May I bring special greetings to you, the members of the class of 1956, living in a wonderful country and dur- ing the atomic age. Automation coupled with the electric eye and the mechanical brain are bringing to us a new era in manu- facturing which will allot more leisure time to the aver- age working man. How best to use that leisure? be- eomcs a problem of the government. A sense of security eficctuated by a social security pro- gram and a vastly improved health service program are bound to lengthen the human life span. The above social and economic changes will open up new avenues of social living, and our standards of living will continue to rise above the world averages. Whether you go into industry for technical training or to college for professional training, you need good work and study habits. You can solve the most difficult prob- lems, if you know how to study. Some of your happiest days are coming to an end. Wllile preparing for the more serious aspects of your future lives, pause a hit and express your thanks to all those who made it possible for you to arrive at this place of graduation. Best wishes to everyone. ,..+ Nur ,.,..w' ,,..f' Name+ Supervising Principal J, LgTilU9 and Change are busy ever is a phrase familiar to most of us. We acknowledge the fact that time never stops, hut we realize that change, though it is i11 evidence all about us, is a slow process when it means breaking with certain traditions. Much greater progressive change is essential in the field of human relations. We always feel the need for each other in new and significant under- takings. , The scientific progress of the United States of America, even during your lifetime, is the envy of every nation seeking world leadership. Since we are a leader among nations, it is extremely important that you as citizens become an active cooperative influence toward the reali- zation of the objectives of the United Nations. We are grateful to all of you for the many fine contributions which you made toward the many projects which were successfully completed during your stay at Wilson. Our hope is that each of you will earnestly use your talents toward the goals you have set. It has been said that, YYhatever a man's mind can envision, he can find ways to accomplish. The world progresses through the efforts of those who help to make the right things happen. We are confident that we can count on you. With sincere best wishes. Principal 6
