THE WOOD HIGH '57 RRY E. WOOD HIGH SCHOOL INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA I VOLUME I DEDICATION To past and present pioneers, the Senior Class of Wood High School proudly dedicates the first yearbook. THE WOOD HIGH LOG of 1957. Harry E. Wood, for whom our school was named, first had dreams of an ideal school while he was a supervisor in the Indianapolis public schools. With the creation of Wood High School his dreams came true. Herel was created a regular high school plus departments for occupational training and for exceptional students, both fast and slow learners. Richard E. Emery has been the guiding hand behind the fulfillment of these dreams of Harry E. Wood. During his leadership Wood has grown from a school with an enrollment of nine hundred to a thriving commun- ity of seventeen hundred and eighty-three students. We are proud of the achievements made these last four years. 2 3 ' X - , , ' 3 -5 ..

As they struggled on, they were resourceful and courageous in meeting the problems of new frontiers. The fortitude of these pioneers lives again in the faculty and students of Wood High School. Their frontiers are in edu- cation, and consist of classes fitted to the individual needs and interests of special groups. i' Il? XJ 1 X --4 Ili A , SESEEEH H Jn..

Many anxious moments were experienced during this, our first season as a full fledged high school. On several occasions the team played inspired football, only to lose at the very last. At other times they came forward to win in the final seconds. At season's end all felt that a good chap- ter had been written in the sport's annals of Wood High School.

Those who did not give up made their dreams come true despite all hardships. The future still holds great promise for all those who, step by step, put forth the effort to succeed. Wood High School is the road into a Promised Land for students who, forging ahead, come at last to Graduation Day. -45 ' rf Q: .fe45s7'i ' 'JK i K 1 YQ v 1.

As the first graduating class of Harry E. Wood High School, they will forever hold a unique place in the annals of the school. This class for four years held a place of honor and responsibility as upper classmen. To them went the duties performed by older students in other schools. From them often came the ideas from which traditions will be built. How well they performed their task is for the future to disclose. w C 4 , , M in - xx r ' -N Q 'lxrgj-3' w Wg lx.
