As she has directed our thinking toward the great moments of the Past and the strong currents of the Present, she has been our inspiring teacher. As she has brought understanding and wisdom to our problems, she has been our friend. For her inspiration as one of our “directors,” we, the Annual Staff, dedicate the 1957 WA HWA HTA SEE to Mrs. Lee 11a Copeland. Page 5 Cast arrives at studio It is the first day of a new production. A perfect setting—new studio, a beautiful warm fall day, spirits in high hopes that a new and better part will be in store for the cast. Cars begin to arrive in the studio lot: new shiny cars of the stars who have reached their ultimate goal of seniority: average cars of younger supporting actors preparing to step into the shoes of the stars; cars of indeterminable age and indescribable appearance of young starlets making their debut into high school life. The studio buses begin to arrive. More of the new cast step from these buses: stars of today, stars of tomorrow, extras working their way upward to stars, directors, producers of the future. Page 6 for a new year Into the casting office some hopefuls go, wanting changes in their roles, begging the director with beseeching eyes and dramatic gestures, soulfully telling him that the part is just not for them. Some are refused, some granted a new role, all finally content. Our cast now goes to the studio library where they will begin research for their new parts. Having found their material, they sit in solemn silence with their friends. The stars will be well-organized, knowing what they will have to do; supporting actors will try to follow their superiors, preparing to step into the shoes of the stars; the starlets will sit and daydream about the day when they will be the leaders and the great parts they will have. Page 7 in a new school Meanwhile, in the studio gymnasium, the athletic men get into shape for their roles. They must be men of ability, ready to be called on for all types of action. Some of the stunt men work out in this gym. They will take over for the stars when the action gets too rough or dangerous. Tired and hungry from their first day at the studio, our cast hurries to the studio commissary for lunch. Here, all the cast from the producers and directors, the stars and their supporting actors, the starlets and the extras to the stunt men and the script girls all mingle for the midday meal. The day’s developments are reviewed for eager listeners and exchanged for comparison. Many find friends with whom they will work in the new production. Page 8 for a great production For our musical productions, our many talented musicians and singers will practice on the sound stage. Whatever the type of music called for, these people will be ready to give a perfect performance. Many of our great musicals will come from these rooms. In their classrooms, our cast will learn how to play their parts to their height. Most of the production techniques will be learned in these rooms, taught by people skilled in their profession. Page 9 FACULTY ■MOW( These empty chairs await the arrival of our Producer, Mr. Mitchell; Director, Mr. Ortt; and Assistant Directors, the faculty, to begin another day at the studio. These people are unfailing guides for our cast as they direct us in our newest production. Plw' 11 T eachers Miss Loveless like all teachers attempts to instill knowledge in her students. Often, after school there are called club committee meetings like this one in Mrs. Whitney’s room. After a full days work Miss Engelke, Miss Hughes and Mrs. Connor relax in faculty lounge. Page 13 English MR. MARION SLOAN MRS. LUCILE NOLEN MISS EVELYN ENGELKE Page 14 MISS RUTH LOVELESS English plays a very special part in everyone’s life and our school has very competent staff of English teachers. Miss Ruth Loveless, a graduate of F.S.U. and Duke University, is the assistant director in charge of this important staff. Seniors give much credit to Miss Loveless for the foundation in English that they receive, so necessary for the college work they plan to do in the Fall. The Senior class as a whole owes a great deal to her because she directs the graduation exercises, advises Senior class officers, and helps with many other Senior activities. Mr. Marion Sloan is beloved by the entire student body, for he is considerate and friendly to all with whom he comes in contact. His pet saying, as anyone can tell you, is “Now, Children.” He teaches Junior English and two classes of Creative Writing. Mr. Sloan attended Vanderbilt and has been on the faculty of Winter Haven High for six years. When a student of Winter Haven High School reaches the status of Junior he comes into contact with Mrs. Peck, who shows her great patience and understanding through her work as faculty sponsor of the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. Mrs. Peck teaches English and is faculty sponsor of the Senior Sub Deb. Two other outside interests are dramatics and music, subjects in which she majored at F.S.U. Mrs. Connor, a fine violinist and a member of the Winter Haven Pops Orchestra, is a tenth grade English teacher of Winter Haven High School. This year she has taken over the sponsorship of the newly organized girls’ club, Tri-Hi-Y. She is a graduate of F.S.U. where she received an A.B. degree. Mrs. Nolen is faculty sponsor for the “A” and “B” squad cheerleaders. This year she is also faculty advisor of club council, and she directed the college day program in the Fall. Mrs. Nolen, graduate of Georgia State College, teaches five periods of tenth grade English, and for outside enjoyment she finds great pleasure in sewing for her daughter, Nancy. One year ago a new member was added to the faculty. Miss Evelyn Engelke, a graduate of F.S.U., teaches Junior English and Speech. Her majors in college were Dramatics, English and Spanish. This year she has given her time to direct the Junior and Senior class plays. MRS. LINDEN DAVIDSON MR. RODNEY PADGETT MR. MAYNARD TRAVISS Music Music plays a big part in all campus life and is important not only to the band and glee club but to the entire student body. Mr. Woods is the assistant director of the music program and is director of the high school band. The band through his leadership has generated a great deal of school spirit. The band has also won many honors and awards during the years he has been instructor. We have been most fortunate for the past two years to have a most talented person. Virginia Starnes Davidson, as glee club director. She has sung in the Messiah for several years and at many other concerts in the community and state. This year the Glee Club under her direction made a fine showing on their concert tour of Gainesville and Tallahassee. She is a graduate of Southern College with a US. degree and of Memphis State College with a M.A. degree. Languages The world of today is a fast moving one with many people traveling from one country to another; therefore, a knowledge of different languages is needed more than ever before in order to communicate with people everywhere. Mrs. Dillard is assistant director of this particular staff. Her specific field is the teaching of Latin which is the basis for all romance languages. She is a graduate of F.S.U. Mrs. Dillard sponsors the Latin Club and enjoys art very much. Mr. Padgett is well known to almost every student in the Winter Haven High School for he is the attendance director of the school. He studied at various colleges but received his M.A. degree from University of South Carolina. During the holidays Mr. Padgett and his wife took a trip to Cuba and had a most enjoyable time. He teaches four periods of Spanish. D.C.T. In our school we have a program that allows students to work part time at various places of business. The students in this department learn by experience a particular vocation. Mr. Saul directs this program. He helps them in every manner that he is able, for almost all of his time is spent in working with and for the members of the D.C.T. program. Mr. Saul is a graduate of Southern College but received his M.A. degree from the University of Florida. Mr. Traviss recently joined the teaching staff of Winter Haven High school. He has been in the real estate business. We are glad to have him as an addition to our faculty. MR. ROY WOOD MRS. DOROTHY DILLARD MR. W. R.

Her Physical Education intern this year was Miss Hales of Southern College. Agriculture is important to the people of Florida for their livelihood.

It is a very beneficial department which prepares each and every high school student for the future. Our social studies department is headed by Mrs. Lee Ila Copeland who recently turned author.

Through her expert guidance students acquire a substantial foundation for a well balanced life. Mrs. Copeland has attended the following colleges: Lander, Florida Southern, Stetson, and Columbia University. She teaches Problems, Bible History, and one period of World History. An exciting personality on the faculty at Haven High is Mrs. Lucy Ducharme. She has many outside duties in the school itself such as sponsoring the Junior Red Cross and the F.T.A.

She drills her students daily in the great importance of being a good secretary. Mrs. Thornton is a graduate of Southern College with a B.A. degree and a M.A. degree.

Two of our leading stars, Toni Watkins and Charles Jacobson, conceived this new type of entertainment for the homecoming celebrations. “Devils’ Doings” was presented on the eve of the big homecoming game, the high spot in the sports year, to bolster the spirit and enthusiasm of the cast and to cheer the “Devils” on to victory, as they took the spotlight. Winning skits, given in their respective winning order, were Sub Deb, F.T.A., and Spanish Club.

Secretary Marilyn Shuler_________________________ Treasurer Page 34 Seni tor MISS ENGLEKE MR. SAUL I 1 We wish to express the appreciation of the Senior Class for all that you have meant to us. You have directed many activities for us. You have inspired us to learn. You have spent many hours preparing us for the responsibilities which we must face, whether they he in college, in future occupations, in society, or in home life. You have worked patiently with us in all that we have undertaken and hacked us up at all times. For these things and many others we say “thanks.” MISS LOVELESS Roy Williamson. D Vaughn Smith, Marilyn Shular, and Janice Boland preside over class meeting. Senior In September of 1953 we first began to make a name for our class. We elected Koy Williamson, Earle Rabb, Sally Jo Hays, and Mike Osborn as our officers. Paula Bilbrey was the first girl who ever made varsity cheering squad in her freshman year. From our class came the Polk County volleyball champs. Sylvia Holt and Grady Smith led the teams right into first place. We began to hear rumors that a new and modern high school was in the plans for the future. We wondered if it would be built during our high school career. When prom time rolled around we were proud to have Earle Rabb, Micha Evans, Charles Jacobson, Dana Ball, Roy Williamson, Judy Smith, Wayne Yon, Noonie Mitchell, and Judie Johnson serve as pages. In June we ended our freshman year a little less green than we were the previous September. In the ’54-’55 term Roy I again served as our president along with our other officers, Jerry Ivey, Jo Ann Jones, and Dennis McHale. During our sophomore year we dreamed of a new school and athletic field to be located on the 20-acre tract purchased by the school board. Toward the end of the year the student body elected Charles Jacobson and Micha Evans Vice President and Treasurer of the student council for the coming year. As fall of ’55 rolled around we knew how it felt to be upperclassmen; “Big Juniors.” With Roy again heading the list of officers— Earle Rabb, Janice Boland, and Terry Williams—wre started into a busy year. We felt the great responsibilities of the Junior Class in the activities of the school. Every Friday night during football season many of us worked long and hard selling concessions at the games. The band members became the cooks of our class. Then came our class play, June Dawn. All of us connected with the production will probably never forget many of our experiences and of course “opening night.” Soon after the Christmas holidays we started plans for the banquet and prom. We elected JoAnn Jones to head the group of hard-working juniors who presented “The Old Plantation” to the Seniors. Our new’ school began to take form as we saw the first unit—six classrooms, the band building, and Page 16 Seniors receive instructions regarding their State Tests. It is a big event the day the seniors put on graduation gowns to have their pictures taken. Memoirs the gym—completed. With the opening of basketball season we proudly displayed our new gym for all to see. As District Contest time approached the band could be found practicing in the new band bhilding every Thursday night. Little by little we were beginning to get the feel of the new school. We only dared to hope that it would be completed by our senior year. Charles Jacobson and Dana Ball were elected President and Secretary of the student council for the ’56-’57 term. At our last assembly the Girls’ and Boys’ Staters were announced. Earle Rabb, Roy Williamson, Jerry Ivey, Charles Jacobson, Tommy Quinn, Barry Maxwell, Janice Boland, Marilyn Shular, Sally Jo Hays, and Judy Wenzel began to plan their trip to Tallahassee. At the close of our junior year we learned we would have the honor of being the first class to be graduated from the new high school. Many times during the summer we rode by to see how the building was progressing. We still could hardly realize that we would be starting classes in the new buildings in September. The morning of September 4th our minds were filled with many doubts and expectations: what would the buildings look like inside? how would we ever find our way around? But as the day progressed our minds were set at ease, and we began our last year. Roy led us again with DeVaughn Smith, Janice Boland, and Marilyn Shular rendering him aid. Our class presented the school seal which was placed in the entrance walk. Jo Ann Jones served as editor of the WA HWA HTA SEE and Phil Goodman headed the Blue Devil Staff. We were proud to have three finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Test: Phil Davis, Bill Brogden, and Frances Bass. Dana Ball received first place in the “I Speak for Democracy” contest. With April came the class play and the prom. June 6th came into view and we knew lhal we had completed our last year at W.H.H.S. But as time passes we will look back and be proud that we were the first class to be graduated from the new WINTER HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL.

Club Council The Club Council is composed of the presidents of all the chartered school clubs with the vice president of Student Council as chairman. They strive to coordinate the activities of the clubs and encourage more active participation by the members of the clubs. During the premier year of Winter Haven High School they sponsored and undertook the leadership of many projects in which several clubs worked together. An officers’ training program was launched and classes for all club officers were held. “Devils’ Doings” aroused enthusiasm and school spirit for Homecoming, and the clubs cooperated in a landscaping program for the grounds of the new school. The officers, Chaplain, Charles Jacobson; Secretary, Marilyn Shuler; Chairman, Jimmy Lanier; and Treasurer, Barry Maxwell, discuss the minutes of the last Club Council meeting with their sponsor, Mrs. Nolen.

The members are not satisfied with just accomplishing this. Through hard work and encouraged by Mrs. DuCharm’s limitless enthusiasm, they have completed a great number of projects. They decorated the old people’s home at Thanksgiving. They made nut-cups during Valentine for the Tyndall Air Force Base Hospital, and as their biggest project they filled a large chest with school supplies for children overseas. The council is very proud to report that W.H.H.S. was 100% in their drive. The sponsor, Mrs. DuCharme, and officers, Barbara Eckert, Barbara presides over a meeting in Mrs. DuCharme’s room.

The choruses had one of their most successful years this year. They presented a very impressive Christmas concert at Nora Mayo along with many other concerts during the year at Nora Mayo. The traveling performers toured North Florida giving an operetta, “Wondrous Love” at the University of Florida, Florida State University, and various schools in Gainesville and Tallahassee. On another tour they participated, in the district contest but did not go to the state contest because of a very tight schedule. The chorus gave a dance at the Women’s Cluh that featured a Talent Show. We are proud to have Mrs. Virginia Starnes Davidson as the vocal director at W.H.H.S. The two years which she has been here have certainly been years the members of the glee clubs will always remember. FIRST ROW: Janie Broach, Margie Durham.

This fine group of musicians, under the direction of Mr. Roy V. Wood, have brought much recognition to W.H.H.S. They have appeared in “First Chair of America,” a publication in which high school and college bands of the nation are given recognition. The members of the band who sit in the first chair are featured in stories and pictures in this book. The ensembles and the baton twirling corps are included. This versatile group gave about forty concerts this year. These included concerts at Nora Mayo Auditorium, a series of concerts for school assemblies, and various other concerts throughout the state. School Concei t Band CAPTAIN: Phil Yarbrough The hand marched in the Gasparilla Parade in Tampa and in the Citrus Exposition Parade in Winter Haven. They presented from ten to twelve halftime shows during the football season. An essential part of the band is the group of majorettes. These baton twirlers are known throughout the nation as one of the most outstanding twirling corps. These girls also play instruments in the band as well as they lead the band. The support of the community, school administration, and Student Body as well as the hard work and sincere interest of the members of the band help the W.H.H.S. band to uphold a long established custom of real dignity in the school and community.

This year in keeping with these purposes they sponsored a school-wide drive for the Hungarian relief fund. With the cooperation of the student body they were able to collect S200 for this worthy cause. This money was sent to CARE to help rehabilitate the people of a devastated country.

WESLEY WARD DONALD TOOLE ROBERT CLEVENGER Page 131 WESLEY F. “Yo-Yo” KIRKPATRICK III, Esq. 1956 Football Review The Premiere of the Devils’ ’56 season against the Jesuit Tigers was a great success. The Tigers’ first touchdown proved to be their last. T. Quinn, W. Ward, G. Smith, B. Hutchins, and B. Marotti totaled the touchdowns to 30 points, while G. Smith, M. Trueheart and B. Marotti added the conversions to make it a 34-6 victory for the Blue Devils. The stage for this highly important game proved to he one which was covered with water as the Devils were defeated by the Plant City team by a score of 12-7. B. Hutchins was the lone scorer with a one-yard plunge to give Winter Haven 6 points. Hutchins then added the conversion to make it 7 points, but the Devils still fell short of the Planters by 5 points. The spectacular of the season was the high-spirited game with Auburndale. Winter Haven failed to score against the champions of the Ridge Conference, but the expected onslaught was stopped by the strong defensive play of R. Williamson, C. Eason, F. Dean, and other Winter Haven linemen as they held the score to only 6-0. The Winter Haven Devils again look the limelight as they won in the contest against the Haines City Hornets. T. Quinn scored on a ten-yard drive. The conversion was added by a twenty-yard aerial from quarterback, B. Marotti, to G. Partin to give the Blue Devils their points to make the victory with the score of 7-6.

Page 132 Winter Haven took a backstage position in this game as the Dade City Pirates took the lead. Held hack hy the Pirates, the Devils’ fullback. C. Eason, finally gained a score to make it a 6-6 tie. This looked like the finis as the Devils held the Pirates, but in the last 4 seconds the Pirates broke through for a 13-6 victory. The Homecoming audience of 3,500 people applauded the Blue Devils as they outstarred the Leesburg Yellow Jackets. Scoring for Winter Haven were B. Marotti, T. Quinn, C. Eason, and M. Trueheart with extra points by Marotti and Trueheart. Thus the final scene of the Homecoming weekend was a 33-6 victory over Leesburg. Chester Eason finds a weak spot to help raise the Homecoming score. Although this game ended in victory for the Fort Myers Green Wave, the Devils gave one of their best performances of the entire season. No spectacular yardage was picked up hut the Winter Haven linemen held the Green Wave to a 14-0 victory. This score was far short of the predicted score for the Green Wave. The Lake Wales Homecoming was the setting for this game as the Devils defeated the Highlanders by a score of 33-14. Scoring were T. Quinn, R. Luckock, G. Smith, C. Eason, and F. Dean. The one conversion was by W. Ward. A hard fall but Run nit: Luckock still keeps the pigskin. The finale of this game again revealed that the Devils had spoiled another homecoming. The Wau-chula Wildcats were stopped short as T. Quinn, C. Smith, C. Eason, and M. Trueheart raised the score to 24 points. To this B. Marotti added one conversion to make it 25-7 in the Devils’ favor. The final scene of the 1956 football season was the game with Bartow. A large Thanksgiving crowd watched as the Yellow Jackets outstarred the Devils by only one point. Chester Eason was the only player to score for the Devils as the 1956 season came to a close. The final score was 7-6 in favor of the Yellow Jackets.
