December 4, 1955 , six Sophomore girls sang at the Lions' Variety Show, and they came out rated second. But they'll rise again. March 24, 1956, Ivan Gerig won the free throw contest, and May the 3rd, our own Sharon Kleine was the Queen of the first May Day Festival ever to be held. May 5, the Sophomores ordered their ringsp boy, we were really something! May l4 arrived and we all bid each other good-by , but we were greatly looking for- ward to our Iunior year the coming fall. 1956 September 6, 1956-This year we've rated seats on the left side of the big aisle: we're considered upperclassmen now. We chose as our sponsors Mrs. Wilma Wetter and Arthur Wilder, and officers were President-Sandy Murphy, Vice-President-Bill Bennett, Secretary- Doris Schulenburg, and Treasurer-Jim Schumacher. We gained two new members--Sandy Ertel and Larry Carter, and lost three, Sharon Kleine, Sharon Voorhies, and George Richhart. During the summer our class's grief was caused by the death of Sharon Kleine, informally known as Whitie. She was greatly missed by all, for when the Iunior year began, there was a strange emptiness where Whitie should have been. September 8, we chose for queen and king candidates, Sandy Murphy and Terry Smith. We again lost. We had just one more year to gain back the Crown. September 25, the Juniors held a hayride at the home of Dianne Copenhaver, and this time, for once, everything went off in grand style, without any complications. September 28, the Iuniors held their first real project, a paper drive. September 31, our card campaign started, and guess what, we out-sold any previous class . October 12 , our sweaters came! Now we were full-fledged juniors. Although the tem- peratures registered 70 degrees, all Juniors were proudly seen wearing their sweaters despite the huge drops of perspiration which trickled down their foreheads. October 13, the big day arrived, and we received our class rings. Golly, they were so shiny and beautiful! October 15, the juniors held a fabulous skating party at Bell's Rink. November 4-5 , the Juniors put on the best play Woodburn viewers had ever seen, Finders Creepers. When the curtain fell the final night, everyone had to agree that Wilbur and Hercules had stolen the show. November 6, five boys proudly donned varsity suits. They were Iim Schumacher, Bill Bennett, Ivan Gerig, Dick Woebbeking, and Terry Klinker. Yes, this team was really ready and willing to go places. December 15, we started selling chili and hot dogs at noon. Although the chili was burned and the hot dogs cold, we managed to make some money. February 29, our magazine campaign ended, and Karen Roemke and Iim Schumacher were high salesmen. Karen chose a radio as her prize, and Jim chose a watch. Now we had money in the bank! March 14, Sandy Murphy was the runner-up in the girls' bowling contest. March 18, Karen Roemke and Doris Schulenburg were chosen as Girls' State representa- tives, and Sandy Murphy and Starlee Miller were alternates. Iim Schumacher and Terry Smith were also chosen for Boys' State, and Dick Woebbeking and Bruce Yerks were alternates. March 20, the Juniors chose the junior-Senior Reception theme. Yes, Showboat was our grand selection. April 15, Sandy Murphy was chosen Queen of the Lakes contestant for the Mermaid Festival which would be held during the summer. April 27, yes, the big night finally arrived. All the guys and gals proudly paraded in their frills. Our theme Showboat was a sensation, and the Seniors sincerely had a mar- velous night to remember.

L May 6, the juniors helped the Seniors in their candlelight baccalaureate services. We all anticipated the next year when we would be in their position. May 13, school was out and we all wished that May 17, 1958, wasn't a whole year off. But we looked forward to our Senior year. 1957 September 5, 1957, found twenty-six Seniors assembled in what was supposed to be a school room. We had lost Larry Carter, Doris Schulenburg, and Bob Killian and we'd gained none. We had chosen Sandy Ertel and Ivan Gerig as our queen and king candidates during the summer, but somehow our queen candidate was lost to the altar, so Ianice Busse was nominated to fill her place. We Seniors didn't make it, but we were very proud of our handsome candidates. The start of the year was so muddled up by remodeling, that school actually didn't start until October. It was very usual to walk through the hall and stumble over a lead pipe, or even get lost among piles of boxes, but add a little humor to these trying times, and you end with a pile of fun. On September 25, we all journeyed to Robert's studio for our Senior pictures. Yes, the day had finally arrivedp now our Senior title seemed more real. October 1, school really started and we elected as our sponsors Mrs. Lois Keller and Mr. Arthur Wilder. We elected officers as follows: President-Sandy Murphy, Vice-President- Steve Breit, Secretary-jim Schumacher, and Treasurer-Karen Roemke. October 17, Sandy was chosen to represent our class for the D.A,R. award. My, we were proud of her. October 28, basketball started, and this year we knew that we were sure to win our games, for you see, four Seniors were of the starting five, and there were even some more players who were valuable, waiting to take over for these tired boys. November 3, the Senior Class was really being well represented this year, for the cheerleaders chosen to keep the team's morale up all came from our class . They were Bruce Yerks, Sandy Murphy, and Karen Roemke. November 27, the Senior Class held a bake sale up at the Marsh Foodliner. Despite the fact that Mr, Weatherman made it rain and snow, the Seniors returned home a little richer. December 10, the big Day arrived, and we received our pictures. The oos and ahs could be heard, and of course everyone wanted a picture. They all thought we were so terribly handsome! December 15, we ordered our name cards and our caps and gowns. Our invitations were picked out. Everyone was getting very anxious for that 17th day of May. December 20, Christmas vacation started, and golly, we got two whole weeks off! After a little party in our home room, we all bid each other a Very Merry Christmas and departed. january 6 we were back from a glorious vacation of two weeks. Ianuary 8, we picked our editor and co-editor of the annual. They were Sandy Murphy and jim Schumacher. Mr. Henney said we needed two bosses , so here they were. Poor kids, they had loads of work ahead of them. january 10, the Seniors received their name cards. My goodness, Diary, everyone loves usp everyone wants our card. This really makes a person feel like a celebrity. January 16, the County Tourney started, and we defeated Elmhurst on the very first try. They thought they had it all sewed up in the bag that they would have a Victory, but we surely surprised them. Then, Diary, we played Arcola and wong and we just kept going until we reached the semi-finals and played Hoagland. Here we stgpped, but we surely were proud of our team and Mr. Ivy, our coach. This is Mr. lvy.'s first year coaching our boys and look what a marvelous job he has done already! Maybe next year we'll take the county. We've got great hopes for next year. We will be out, Diary, but we'll still be backing the team all the way to the final game.
