It was here, for different reasons, purposes and goals, we spent our time. This was Our Place . . . 1. M. Kraskowki and Mr. Lee talk over matters on 50 ' s day. 2. V. Fry and S.

This mass was com- posed of many disem- barking from, and depart- ing to multifold places. Some had regard for this place, Woodlan High . School, as a stadium in which to excel, others as an academy where they went to learn. For many, this structure was held as an auxiliary to meet to- gether. A remaining por- tion held this place as their residence where many duties were performed, and activities carried out with comrades. Also con- sidered a resort, many celebrated, and partici- pated, in special events that arose. Much was done all in this. Our Place. le Entrance 1-7 Iif the Stadium 8| the Academy IS ..

Below Right: A huddled mass of cars in the school park- ing lot on a snowy winter ' s day. The neighborhood sur- rounding Woodlan would appear to be an average farming community some- where in the midwest. Be- side the fact that practical- ly none of the seemingly average things really are, the things that make our situation unique is that we do not have a communi- ty feeding into our school, but several: Woodburn, Harlan, Milan Center, Gra- bill, Edgerton, Monroe - ville, New Haven, Antwerp, Leo and Gar Creek. Although we are not faced with inte- gration, we have influences that many schools don ' t have. Basically a district of Ger- man descent, there are peo- ple of many origins who have moved to our area. Students come to Woodlan from both city and farm. We also have scholars who come from the Amish com- munity. We have received exchange students from South America and Europe. Somehow, we begin to look more like a conglomera- tion. 4 Community Below: The home of Joseph Graver on Cuba Road is similar to manyAmish residences in this area. Middle Left: D.

Nostalgia reigned su - preme in the school year 74-75. Movies like The Great Gatsby, The Way We Were, and American Graffiti seemed to set the mood that reflected in television programs, fash- ions, and even pep ses- sions at Woodlan. Dresses started flowing down to the knees, or below, while shoes were getting higher and higher on their plat- forms. Hair began to get short and curly beneath floppy hats. Suit jackets were beginning to look like a revised version of Dad ' s suit when he was young. Finally, in team support for the AC AC champion- ship football game, the school went strictly mod- ern, or at least modern for 1955. Looking like something from Happy Days with slicked -back hair and pony tails, red lipstick and skinny ties, the school bebopped to Rock Around the Clock at a pep session. Many said this spree of merriment and joviality was just a carefree diver- sion from all the troubles at hand, drafting a new president before school opened, the energy crisis, inflation and recession. Nevertherless, we couldn ' t neglect all the pressures of the time. There were still tests to study for, gasoline to buy, and jobs to find. 1975 seemed to grasp reality with statistics on national debt and unemploy- ment. Even movies like The Towering Inferno and Earthquake left a nervous note in the air. Af- fected, but not defeated, things kept on at a fast pace as we began to look toward spring and vacation. Mak- ing adjustments, and cop- ing with the present time was challenging to every- one. We were no exception. Opening 7 In the Stadium 8 Sports Division Standing glittering in the arena was the athlete, adorned with the medals of victory. The surrounding crowd had risen, cheering the exceller in his excel- lence. As open to praising as they appeared, so wa(- the crowd fickle. This mob could sneer, without pity, a blundering player who had endangered the outcome of success and triumph. However, there were always those players with such bravery and skill as to strengthen their bodies in precise drills, and thus be placed in the judgement of the crowd. Not, only was the crowd in the Stadium to be pleas- ed, but each individual performer held himself a more stringent judge. 1. After volleyball practice Westrick prepares for a show 2. Tackle J.

Sports Division 9 The cross country team finished off a fine season with a dramatic upset of Xorwell in the AC AC Conference Meet to gain a share of first place. B. Miller had this to say, The team worked very hard to win the con- ference, but there is one person who has been over- looked. That person is coach Elmer Strautman. Without his words of en- couragement the team would have never won. Top: The varsity cross country team. Top Row Left to Right: B. Hoeppner, P. Miller, S. Koch, T. Till, Mr. Strautman, B. Mil- ler.

Junior High Football for Young Bruises Junior High Football, for most of the boys, is their first experience with organized football. Before, they had played sandlot ball where there are no real plays, no blocking assignments, and no laps to run. Coach Mielse took his eight graders to a 1 -2-2 season, beating Wayne Trace 12-9 and tying Homestead and New Haven. The seventh graders, under Mr. Gundy, didn ' t seem to be able to get it together this year with a 4-1 record. But here at Woodlan, it seems teams get much better as they move up.

Stopping at hamburger joints and tell- ing weird jokes on the bus were the usual happenings composing the extras of the season. Having built on the season of ' 74, ' 75 should be strong. M.W. K.B.

To top off the season, our coach volun- teered to serve as hostess at a team pizza party. We didn ' t win the ACAC or sectional, but we had the best backing, linesmen, scorekeeper, timer, coach, and bus driver a team could have. K.B, K.H.

I shall try my best, but I am not sure of the outcome. I think of the people I shall be run- ning over, running down, running with. Some are people I have never seen before and may never see again, yet tonight they shall be my opponent or my teammate.

This year ' s record: nine wins and one loss. in fighting for possession of a little ball that will never .be the same again after tonight. We shall use that ball as the instrument to gam supremacy. It is the symbol of our being stronger, more intelligent and talented. So tonight, on that field, I shall be thinking of how I am going to smash the enemy. But the thoughts that go before, those are the ones that win the game. Varsity Football 15 Dugan Fry, quarter- back, said, If you would have looked at the reserve football team at the start of the season, you would have seen a state of total con- fusion. The team had never really practiced together. As soon as they played a couple of games, which they won, they started to click. And click they did, with a 7 win, 1 loss season. The loss came from Belmont one rainy night at WHS. With the ' 74 - ' 75 sea- son so successful, the next year ' s V. squad will be well equipped to keep WHS num- ber one. The Freshman football team faced their opponents; their eyes held no emotion, they faced a rival team wil- ling to try, and hoping to win. But as the season pro- gressed, the players became accustomed to their team- mates and the game. The year was full of competition and success - a memory of a Frosh season that will live on. f m Top R ight: M. Bennett comes off the field during a home game. Belov -.

The fresh- man basketball team put two and three together and came up with a successful team. The reserve team had a bit more trouble in making things work, yet they managed to come out with a respectable record. Both teams worked hard to represent Woodlan in a sportsman-like manner.

The Fort Wayne News -Sentinel. Out of our first twelve games, nine were won, this kept us in contention for the AC AC champion- ship to the final game of the regular season. The feat of winning four games by two points show the endur- ance and heart the team and coach possessed. Two games being won by five points, and a loss to New Haven by one point, record the excitement in- volved in the season. Al- though we did not do well in the tournaments, in each, we lost to the team that won the tourney. The News-Sentinal said: The Warriors are extremely dangerous, particularly because of their depth and desire. They can be flat and unproductive . , or they can be explosive. The team did themselves to an ACAC North Division Championship. Top Right: The spirit chain spelled out ovir support for our basketball team in the sectional tourney. Right: Forward, J.

C. Hissong won the 158 pound weight class; K. Bauniert and M, Krakowski each placed se- cond in 108, and 115 pound weight class respectively. The wrestler can attain prominence no matter what the caliber of his team. And yet a single match can change the team ' s attitude and give that extra zest that pushes a team to victory, A single Warrior goes out against his opponent. who is going to do every- thing to clamp him on the mat and hold him there. Coach Miesle ' s voice urges, pleads, advises, screams, and demands that the Warrior pin the oppo- nent ' s face to the mat and hold him there, for in this way the victory is attained.

Bowling and Gymnastics — Two of Our Ladies ' Sports Gymnastics takes bal- ance, courage, skill, timing and raw determina- tion. When you fall off the beam, or miss a vault, the only protection you have is an all too thin (it seems) mat on the floor. The floor comes up to meet you unbelievably hard. There are no hel- mets, no pads, and very often, no shoes. You are judged on grace, poise and difficulty of the stunt. The events are: vaulting, hurling yourself over a leather block on a stand; uneven bars, beating one ' s legs and abdomen black and blue, while spinning and twisting on two pieces of wood at dif- ferent altitudes; floor ex- ercises, doing flips, jumps, walkovers, and all sorts of difficult con- tortions to music; and the balance beam, walking and dancing on a four inch beam very high off the ground. 22 Bov ling and Gymnastics Top: The 1975 Woodlan Gymnas- tics team, coach N.

Top Right: Some of the girls on the gymnastics team watch attentively as another per- forms in competiton. Bottom Right: J. Nusbaum at the Wood- burn bowling alley. Speeding balls rushed down the alley as an im- patient lady at the other end wiggled into all sorts of contortions until . . . all the pins exploded in a brain shattering thud, quickly followed by a shrill scream of pure ec- stacy which often follows a strike. Well, not all the balls rolled by the girls of the G. A. A. were strikes, but they were supposed to be. Even if they weren ' t, the girls enjoyed them- selves, and some of them were very good bowlers. At Woodlan Running Is a Co-ed Sport Top Left: J. Scheumarm warms up v ith the discus. Top Middle: C.

Dawn Arm- bruster was impressive in the mile. Cheryl Hamman placed very well in the sprints and Carla Powell advanced all the way to regional in the Softball throw. It was the team ' s sec- ond year here at WHS and they showed steady im- provement during the sea- son, winning one more meet than the year before, and steadily bettering themselves. During the 1975 track season, records fell in profusion. Jeff Lehman broke the 100 yard dash record, the 220 yard dash record, and the 440 yard run record. Jon Scheumann broke the dis- cus record, Joel Smith re- set the shot put mark, Mark Hetrick reset the pole vault mark several times, and Berry Miller set a new time in the two mile run. The team placed second in the A. C. A. C. competition. Many members went to sectional, but we didn ' t fare to well. J. Lehman ran second in the 220 and advanced to regional. He placed sixth, but only the first five ad- vanced to state. Boy ' s and Girls ' Track 25 What would America be without baseball, apple pie and hot dogs? Woodlan had a dose of each, but N. Hoeppner and R. Nelson, outstanding players of the baseball team, helped pull the good-old American sport through. The team practiced in our front yard after school hitting, catch- ing, and pitching. The bat girls helped make the sea- son complete as the sea- son ended 4-7-1. Top Left: The 1975 Reserve Base- ball team. Top Right; G. Ham- mond at a home game. Middle: B.

As we met for practice, not much was accomplished. Then, we realized that this was serious business. We may not have won but we did fight. We batted, we threw, and we ran. Sometimes we made it; at others, we struck out. There were girls from Frosh to Seniors. In this sport there were no bar- riers put up. We united and improved. This was the girls ' last Softball experience to be offered at WHS. Top Left: K. Elevens awaits a Softball while playing. Top Right: Showing her ability to catch, J.

Baseball, Softball 27 Jr. High Training for the Future Although not as many- spectators were present for Jr. High events, the teams fought as if their events were watched world- wide. The basketball players spent long hours running wind sprints, practicing layups, and really work- ing. For coach D. Myers ' eighth grade, it payed off with a 12-1 record. Coach T. Adams, seventh grade, came up with a very good 5-4 season. Track meets and vol- leyball matches proved- challenging to participants and interesting to spec- tators. The track team, coach- ed by T. Adams M. Eagly, ran with full speed towards victory. Their spirit brought them to the finish line with their heads high. Abiding strength gave them power to throw the shot put farther than they thought possible. The pres- ervation of their ego proved as important as the thought of a medal. The volleyball team spiked their way to suc- cess with Dr. Gundy coaching. Cooperating v as set up with every vol- ley. Together the boys fought for the respect that a team from Woodlan de- serves. 1 1 mv flHQ i 28 Junior High ' ■ ' , A ; ( ,. K Page Left Top: The Jr. High cheerleaders.

But this force motivated the inhabitants of our school when goals and objectives were not to be clearly seen. Spirit is thought to deal mostly with athletics, but it went farther than the playing field, the roaring crowd, and the shower room. It involved pride in a school, an organization, an individual. As the FFA competed in their fields, the speech team went to meets, bands and choirs played and sang at concerts and contests, actors per- formed on stage, and the countless other clubs and groups did their things. It was Woodlan they were presenting; and it was spirit that motivated them. To win takes effort, but to comprehend the meaning of a victory takes an enor- mous amount of spirit. Spirit 33 34 Division -Academics Those who were of scholarly bent were seen to be mingling about the Academy, book in hand, and carrying about pencils with which to write down cal- culations. Although all were brought to our school that they might become acquain- ted with knowledge and the arts, there were, as there are in all fields, those who excelled in their studies. Of all those teachers sent to tutor, or of those who were to be instructed, there was found an attainment of knowledge that before was void to them. Many con- trasting topics and con- ceptions were to be spread to those attending the Aca- demy only to intermingle into a daily schedule. And so continued our classes . . 1. By the afternoon, school can get dreary; B. Bandelier tries to get through. 2. R. VonGunten looks through a book in the library. 3. R. Stopher grasps onto an idea and J. Thompson. 4. C. Carpenter reads ON THE BEACH for English. 5. Fourth period economics class puts up 1, 000, 000 dots. 6. Sometimes school is just de- pressing; G. Remenschnider rests between it all. 7. J.

Blackman said, Man was formed for society. While spending an average day at Woodlan, this state- ment could be applied to us in many ways. Watching people in the halls congregating into groups with con- versations about other people, it is obvious what a vital role we played in each other ' s lives. Several different Social Studies courses were offered to help those inter- ested in the why ' s, Where ' s, who ' s, and when ' s of people. The juniors were required to take American history. This class, taught by W. Mull, started with the early Americas and traveled to the modem day, employing films and work sheets. World History took a look at the entire world and its civilizations, cultures, and politics with R. Herman leading the discussions. Attention was cen- tered on six different cultural areas. R. Herman and K, Pierson instructed Sociology and World Geography. World Georgraphy was the first semester with the students building Seattle and looking at maps through three-dimensional glasses. Sociology then looked at the people who live in these places and the reasons behind their cultures. Seniors took U.S. Government and economics taught by J. Briegel. Government taught that men can govern themselves and how the U.S. does it. Economics was charts, graphs, cartoons, statistics, individual projects, and panel groups, ending the year with the students teach- ing themselves. It might not be certain which came first, man or society, but we do know that we can learn from the past to make both a little better. Mfi U as ) KiA Lor Scx iiijfc .

Zoology, which came next, centered on animal liie, functions, and systems which were illustrated by the dissec- tion of small animals. A section on weather and climate taught how difficult it is to be a weatherman, especially with the students taking turns being John Moss. Then came studies of chemistry, the solar system, and botany, end- ing the year with a leaf collection. 38 Science Left: S. Stieglitz Top: A still de- vised by B. Kleman in Chem. II.

Woodlan of- fered six different science courses to the high school students. Biology classes were taught by D. Myers and E, Strautman. An understand- ing of the mechanics of the plant and animal world was stressed in Biology I. In Biology II, lab experiments and dissection helped to de- velop appreciation for life itself. Chemistry was in- structed by T. Adams, cov- ering atoms, chemical struc- ture, and reactions, several mathematical formulas, and testing the principles per- sonally through labs, H, Henney taught physics, dis- cussing abstract ideas, for- mulas, and finally doing labs. General Science with either L, Etzler or D. Myers tied the different areas of science into one class. All the styding, testing, and wondering were to grasp ideas of our universe.

COHEN WALKS INTO SET) (in the end of scene) i Watching television, listening to records, making a filmstrip, writ- ing a book, acting out a play, and directing a television program were examples of classes in Woodlan ' s language de- partment. Often T. V. , English, and forensics classes were formally conducted classes, but sometimes formality went out and spontaneity took over. Phase elective English was for the three upper grades and offered the students a large choice of classes which a student could choose from accord- ing to his interests. Creative writing, re- levant issues, and the supernatural were some of the more appealing selections. The past year brought many surprises, and boredom; but the stu- dents gained knowledge and had new experience. Far Top Left: Busy preparir and revising her script for speech class is L. Brenneke.

The courses which we had to take involving our hands and skills are as varied as the individuals who took them. Mrs. Re if snider taught all the art classes in both senior and junior high. Painting, sketching, poster making, pottery, jewelry, and weaving were different projects which taught dif- ferent techniques to stu- dents. Industrial arts and ag- riculture classes were taught by D. Ray, D. Miesle, T. Harris. R. Above: J. Wiesehan, S. Ehle, S. Inlow preparing to plant a tree. Above Right: J.

Different types of these crafts offered were mech- anical and architectural drafting, electricity, graphics, metals, power mechanics, woods, horti- culture, conservation and vocational agriculture. Students learned how to operate different machines and equipment and were re- quired to produce final products. Typing and other bus- iness classes were in- structed by K.

Junior high math classes, seventh grade - M. Egley instructor and eighth grade, L. Romery, taught these basic skills. At least one math course must be taken by high school students, but many take more. H. Baul- key introduces algebra to Algebra I students, and teaches senior trigono- metry and analytics. Gen- eral math, geometry, and Algebra II were the mul- tiplying endeavors con- ducted by E. DeLong. In a state -wide math contest, Woodlan ranked 22 out of 156 schools, and K. Bertsch, a senior, placed 20 among all the contestants. For classes with such undependable things as radicals, ir- rationals, variables, in- equalities, degrees, and angles involved, we didn ' t do too badly.

It was the ambition of many students to escape to the library and relax from the drab of study hall. But yet, in this same spacious room were those diligently tr ing to study and learn. This contrast in uses of the library caused several problems for B. Gilbert and the students presenting the necessity for library reg- ulations. Aside from being regulators, librarians checked books and passes, and kept inventory. • s Gj i Cr W xaaISUu : cW)vxi The Home Economics class started as the Fresh- man sewed simple dress styles, while the seniors experimented on harder patterns. The Freshman designed a tea the second semester. The seniors cooked gourmet foods from other countries. J. Wiese- han won the Betty Crocker Award, an award given to a senior girl in Home Ec. class. The Betty Crocker test consisted of questions over family life, nutrients, and other Home Ec. areas. Above Right: K. Goeglien and J. Warner in the library. Above: Librarian S. Beverly signs passes.

Physical education class consisted of several different exciting, and competing activities throughout the year. Ac- tivities were played, usu- ally, according to the weather outdoors. Special exercises were performed for physical fitness. The following activities: bas- ketball, dodgeball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wif- fleball, gymnastics, kick- ball, tumbling stunts, recreation, and square dancing, were participated in during class. With the help of Miss Boese (stu- dent teacher) the girls learned a new sport called speedball. The boys and girls p. e. classes formed together for coed classes the last two weeks of school. ' V Physical Education 47 Because of contrasting interests, personalities and talents, the mingling masses soon began to cloister into groups. So those with similar inter- ests were united. These groups then assembled into organizations with structured requirements and intent. Targets of money and enjoyment were always needed to achieve success; however, promo- tion of excellence was the ambition of many an under- taking. 1. The most obvious sign of organizational activity after school was the table in the lobby stacked high. 2. The boys cheerblock ' s only requirements: loud voice and a lot of spirit! 3. The mat maids were a lot of help to the wrestlers- pretty mats and pretty faces. 4. Some organizations have stiff initiations, C. Fogle cooperates for FHA. 1. G. Hammond, T. Lantz, J. Cummins, R.

Students Who Serve the People Some may have re- ferred to them as med- iators; some may just have called them a third party, but whatever their name, the Student Council performed functions unlike any othe r body. They hand- led complaints, made sug- gestions, reviewed ideas, and organized programs. They all worked together to achieve a goal to live up to their title, and work in the best interest of those they served. E Above; D. Gerig, President of Student Council, presides at a noon meeting.

Besides the awards and trophys, they showed spirit by performing at banquets and parties from Country Clubs to Church basements. The rewards were greater than trophys alone provided. Swing Choir, National Honor Society 51 Foreign Language in Use German Club excelled in many things this year. Some individual students excelled to great heights also.

They went from helping at Irene Byron to many community service programs in which they took part. The club was also affiliated with the YWCA. I,, Clubs 53 Clubs Show Spirit Pep Block, W. Club, and Spirit Committee are three clubs which require much spirit. Pep Block is a group of girls who sit in a designated area and are lead by the cheerleaders in chants to let the team know that there are many who care at each game. The W. Club consists of those boys who have earned their letters in some sport. Throughout the year they sponsor dances and other activi- ties to involve the students. The Spirit Committee also supports all teams by making posters, giving cookies, and other such things to show the athle- tes they care. Posters are put around the school to be everyday reminders to the team members that the school is behind them. VdViAS ,.1 jn 54 Pep Block, W. Club, Spirit Com.

Seven members also received the Hoosier Farmer degree v hich is the highest award granted by the state. The Junior High FFA was also busy achieving goals. They won a trophy for outstanding sales, and traveled to Purdue and Cedar Point. 56 FFA Young Americans Harvest --- -- -Irf - Far Above: B. Roemke studying diligently for class.

The seed of know- ledge was planted in their fertile minds, and began growing into a rich, prod- uctive harvest to be reaped by Future America. FFA 57 The student secre- taries in WHS work for Gertie. They are students taken from study hall who volunteer to help. Their work consists of picking up absentee slips, delivering announcements and being a general help to Gertie. Their only reward is the satisfaction of knowing that they helped WHS. Those people who help Mrs. Gilbert keep order, sign passes, and check- out books are the librar- ians. They are in the li- brary everyday during their study halls to per- form these tasks. Having these people gives our librarian, Mrs. Gilbert, more of a chance to devote her time to the students. Students Help WHS The Drama Club is an org- anization whichi puts on the plays given at WHS. They also had some members which took plays to the Woodbum Elementary school for their enjoyment. This year the Drama and Speech Club held a joint banquet. The Speech Club, a group of students, gave up their Saturdays to compete in Speech Meets. They got points for each event and rank at the meet. The events offered were Dramatic Cuttings, Humorous Cuttings, Poetry, Original Oratory, Oratorical Declama- tion, Impromtu, Boy ' s and Girl ' s Extempt, and Broadcasting. Top: R.

Clubs 61 Knowledge gained by obsei ' vation, experimen- tation and induction of natural phenomena is the conventional definition of science. The science club, sponsored by Mr. Adams, was formed to gain know- ledge of the world and its inhabitants. Wisdom was the product of working and learning. Social science is the examiniation of personal relationships and their effect on life. This year ' s social studies club, spon- sored by Mr. Briegel, scrutin ized the world di- rectly involving them. The club planned and partici- pated in many activities. Clubs Blast, Bubble, Shoot and Travel Onward fe A 62 Rocket and Science Clubs Constructing, launching and observing rockets were the ac- tivities the rocket club engaged in, considering how much air- crafts are used currently, know- ledge gained was useful. Mr, Ray was the sponsor of this club. When sports are mentioned, most people think of football, baseball or something like that. To the Sportsman Club, sports meant fishing and hunting. The club ' s sponsor, Mr. Miesle, led the group on their expeditions. As the boys gained knowledge in these areas of nature, the scales were tipped in their fav- or. The skills they learned would later be used in the great safari of life. Social Science is the exam- ination of personal relationship and the affect on life. This year ' s Social Stu ' dies Club, sponsored by Mr. Briegel, scrutinezed the world directly involving them. The club planned and participated in many activities as the year flew by.

Social Studies and Sportsman Clubs 63 Improving Ourselves for Community Living We are the future homemakers of America. We face the future with warm courage and high hope ... The freshmen started their membership with these words. Most didn ' t know where or when, but all realized that in the future they would be mak- ing a home. A time -honor- ed Chinese proverb, written by R. G. IngersoU, says, A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home. Toward New Horizons ' was the theme for their many activities. Among these were the kick-off party, daddy-date night, a Christmas caroling party at the Town House and Golden Years Nursing Homes, the junior-senior trip to Detroit, and the rose banquet. Advisors Mrs. Banker and Mrs, Scalabrino helped the girls in FHA as they strove to improve them- selves for better com- munity living. 64 FHA l ' ' Far Top Left: FHA initiation re- quired the girls to get twenty senior girls and guys ' names.

Building Toward a Future Future Nurses of Am- erica now includes men, so the name has been changed to Medical Careers Club. The club had speak- ers who came to speak of various areas: mental health, nursing, dentistry, and first aid. Field trips were planned, and executed by the club members who toured the Red Cross Building and Purdue Dental laboratory. Their annual banquet was held at the Heritage House on April 18. The guest speaker was Dr. Haney. Mrs. Haney, a registered nurse, also attended. Each year the club gives a $100 scholarship to a senior member of MCC who is headed for some health occupation. This year, the scholarship went to Joanne Stutzman. Campus Life had a variety of activities. In the fall was the Burger Bash where we were stuffed from toes to ton- sils with burgers. Scream in the Dark was a real screamer for Halloween night. Monsters, ghosts, and wierdo sounds filled the old Penney ' s Store out at Southgate. A weekend in January was spent skiing down the beautiful moun- tains in Michigan. Along with these great activities were the evening home meetings. Campus Life MCC 67 To put out an ARROW, the book that covers the entire year, and the POW WOW which covers its segments more closely, is not at all what might be expected. The most obvious change this year was that room two was set aside for nothing but journalism. But even this was cramped comers when the two staffs and the photographers were all in it at once. All the ads sold to obtain money for the ARROW were sold entirely by the two staffs. Decked with papers, yearbooks, and a sales pitch, staff mem- bers filed through the community. Then the real work came for the ARROW. Putting the ads into layouts, es- tablishing a theme, color pages, and the overall ladder were the early problems. Getting good pictures of the right thing at the right time caused many complications. Lack of staff members, working time, and time together added to the frustrations. This all carried on into sum- mer. Slavers with rulers, orange monsters, wax pen- cils, typewriters, and stamp pads finished the long- awaited history of Woodlan ' 75. The POW WOW, on the other hand, had a biweekly deadline in which twelve pages had to be filled. First assignments of reporter, layout, go-getter, headliner, t}T)er, etc, , were given out. Then everyone went about his job until the deadline week when every free second was spent doing anything that had to be done. Staying af- ter school and coming before were not uncommon. At the end of the year, everything that had been learned and done blossomed into a final issue- a tribute to the seniors. , , , And because of the many people who deserve recognition for spirit, and assistance- the POW WOW staff for helping us sell ads to finance a larger book, those who shuttered and focused their lives upon the camera so this book could be filled with an abundance of unique and creative pic- tures- the staff of perilous workers who designed lay- outs and perfected copy- we hope this book is a worthy recognition of the creativity, heart, and pride v hich v as blended to create it.

These Explored Various Areas The purpose of Woodlan ' s Future Educators of Amer- ica Club was to help those students interested in education in exploring the field to discover what occupation they would like to go into.

The jr, high choir, girl ' s glee, and mixed choir at Woodlan have only thirty ' - minutes everyday to make music. In this short time much must be ac- complished. The thought of contest continually hangs in the back of everyone ' s mind, but mostly in the mind of the director. Miss Everson. This year during Miss Everson ' s ill- ness, Mr. Fredrick Hepler bore the responsibility of contest. Although his style was completely different than Miss Everson ' s, we managed to do well at contest. Junior high choir received a first rating for their performance; Girl ' s Glee also received a first rating; and mixed choir received a second. The contest this year was held at New Haven instead of a far distant place. The vocal music de- partment at Woodlan has ex- panded in the last few years, adding more peo- ple to its numbers every year. Whether because of a growing interest in mu- sic or because of the spreading of Miss Ever- son ' s reputation for great directing, is unknown. But, as Mac Davis also says in the same song, God loves you when you sing. The pictures at right are all of the mixed chorus.

Again, in the afternoon, the crea- tures explore the country and city to regurgitate and deposit the young to their original origins. Blinking, jerking, stopping, and fleeing, the creatures complete their function to unite in a stone cave to await the next morn. THIS PAGE Top Left: One of Woodlan ' s night janitors, H. Gerig.

At the beginning of the year we received our class rings. These rings were a symbol of all the memories we would have of Woodlan. We sold mag- azines to provide the nec- essary funds for the prom. The drive was very suc- cessful, enabling the Spirit of ' 76 to have a beautiful prom. As the year drew to a close, we became aware that at this time next year we would be leaving Wood - Ian for the last time. However, we still had one year to go.

Being a sophomore was somewhat confusing. We were not yet among the respected upperclassmen, but we were also not as uncultivated as the lowly freshmen.

They showed everyone the eighth grade has spirit by winning the spirit link contest. They proved the middle of the book can be as interest- ing as the first and last chapters. But the page has turned, and the eighth grade is on the edge of the final chap- ter, high school.

If our school would be divided into organs and extremities, the cafeteria would probably be noted as the heart. As the center of activity during the break, the congregating spot for the innumerable groups and sales cam- paigns, and a bulletin board for expression in spirit and advertising, it was the center of life at Woodlan, About 11 o ' clock the vast process of feeding Woodlan ' s inhabitants be- gan. In reality, the actual production of the lunch be- gan before the students entered the building. When passing the kitchen in the morning, the cooks were seen forming balls of dough they put on huge baking sheets. What hap- pened from then to break. no one other than the cooks really knew. But during the break, mounds of cookies were already laid aside and sandwiches were being made. Then there was the hour to complete finishing touches for the first flood of jr. highers. The cooks finally got to use the cafeteria for their lunch. After school, this heart of the school experi- enced a transformation. Depending on the season, it became a gym for wrest- lers, a theatre for musi- cal rehearsal, a place for meeting or parties, or a restaurant for banquets. It was nice to have a place for the life-blood of the school, a place every- one knew, waited in, and eventually used. no Cafeteria The Cafeteria Became the Heart Throb of Woodlan Left: T.

After-dinner dancing at the prom. On occasion, it was seemingly fit for those with studies and strains of successfully striving for promotion -the act of which had become nothing more than a mere habit - that they might have a holi- day. At these long-awaited times of good humor and high spirits, the jovial crowd would assemble in the resort with an air of pleasure. But not every portion of these festivals were entirely frolics of the heart. Much proposing, forecasting, and prepara- tion was wrought into each event. Most of what these celebrations and amusements were was reflected by what the various partici- pants were themselves. Many students, aided by the knowledgeable in- structors and practice, but mostly by their own time and talents, created a bit of fantasy and varia- tion that lightened the sometimes heavy heart to move onward. 0] Juniors Huddle Their Masses for Championship Far Top: D.

Still, some waited, enjoying the wonders of the brave people stuff - ing bananas into their mouths, ears, and toes. The banana eating contest was fun for all, Ron Stop- her was Woodlan ' s Great Banana Eater. Yet still some waited. Times of frustration, apathy, ecstacy, pain- wandering back through endless expanses of mem- ory-happenings that warm- ed your heart or made you cry.

They pre- sented a drama after many years of a comedy, but also with a new di- rector. Miss Coats chose The Miracle Worker to tr r a serious production. The cast consisted of the Keller family, Anne Sullivan, doctors, blind girls, and servants. While the cast was work- ing on performance, crews were assembling a Southern atmosphere of 1875. A three-level set was built complete with working water pump. Many costumes had to be found and made. Every- thing was put together on November 15 and 16. Flowers, cakes and French fries commemorat- ed the occasion as the cast and crews left for the cast party. Right: Helen (M. Gerlach) is sternly taught table manners. Far Right: Anne (B.

The Sound of Music, held in April, saw mountains on the wall and on the floor, when it was done in the round. Unexpectedly, M. E vers on took ill, so J. Blouser took over directing the music. Together, he and M. Coats presented four shows. The challenge was to re- hearse a show for weeks and then perform it as a new show each night. Waiting only added to the strain of performance, until the tension turned into a tremendous high. The cast party ended it all as everything returned to nor- mal at Woodlan.

The Sound of Music 117 Members Show Concern If ' • % ' . : •.1rt ll All year you seem to be working toward a goal. It keeps prodding you, making you try again and again until you get better. Even though there ' s a goal, you ' re never quite sure what it is -perfection? Just sounding good? Looking good? or getting a message across? But you work and you try, hoping that soon you will under- stand your goal and achieve it. Then come the concerts, and you see all those people looking at you and waiting for you to show them what you ' ve been working on; and then you realize, it was all so -simple. The goal wasn ' t perfection or even fame, it was pleasing the people and just making the effort to show concern. WHS Chorus showed their concern; their mes- sage was sung. 11 8 Con certs Left: The band plays a score of numbers for the audience at their spring concert. Below Left: L.

Class Tourney 121 They Danced All Night A form of recreation and a chance for friends to meet was the purpose of the annual Sadie Hawkins and German Dances, The Sadie Hawkins Dance was sponsored by the FHA. Girls asking boys is an unusual occur- ance, but this occurs at this dance. It was held on March 8, 1975. During this dance, prizes were given to the bested dressed, and the guys with the hairiest or shapliest legs. The Mai Fest, German Dance, was put on by the German Club. It was an evening of dancing, Ger- man dances, and singing German songs. This fun evening happened on May 16, 1975. These dances gave the students of WHS a chance to enjoy each other and the school they attended. ♦♦♦•■■ 122 German Dance, Sadie Hawkins Far Bottom Left: B. Miller and R.

But for three weeks out of the year, it became a race -weeks full of hard work -getting ready for election day. The annual elections began with each government class picking a chairman, secretary, governor. It. gov. , sen- ator and representative candidates, and a name. Having thus decided, the race began with every- one seated in the gym to await the speeches; the whole school united for an hour and a half. When the bell rang, the school day was over. The next day, voting was done. All that seniors had were the torn signs, and the memories. Still, it was a lesson, and much was learned.

Not knowing what the future might bring, these students left, some in tears, some with radiant smiles, and some with cries of victory! This was the last time this class would be united to- gether as a class. Soon, these seniors would be turned to different fields of endeavor. College? To some, this was where they would spend the next few years. Work? This also is what the future held. Marriage? Even here is where some looked. The valedictorian was Ronald Kammeyer and the salutatorian, Dana Bauer.

More goals were set, all in Our Place. 148 Closing Upon entering the Exit, we we found ourselves astonishingly near the end. Time seemed to fly as we struggled to overcome our fears. A new world was waiting as we prepared to leave the one we then habited. Friendships, experiences, and memories now must form a basis for the life awaiting us. Friends and events would not be forgotten, but our fears had to be conquered as we challenged, the new world ahead of us. Co-ordinators, S. Bandy L. Schlink K.

These peo- ple tackled the many as- pects of high school. Among these were a queen, athletes, teachers, spec- tators, cooks, fighters, and meditators. Their moods were as variable as the weather. They varied from bewildered to cheer- ful, pensive to jesting, lonely to proud, ambitious to contented. These pic- tures reflect the many hap- penings of the past year. Some bring back joyful memories and some bring back somber memories. Woodlan and a part of our lives. 75 Fini 153 From the Agency Too often, when students leaf through the pages of the yearbook, glancing at pictures and trying to spot them- selves or a friend, they take for granted the many pages of advertisements. This is sad, because the ads are one of the most important sections of the book. The ads pro- vide the staff with the finances we desperately need, and enable us to print the picture where we see ourselves and our time spent here. Thus, they help us remember what was not forgotten but simply lost in a maze with all our other memories. It seems ironic that the advertisers who made possible our Entrance into this endeavor should be placed at the ■ Exit of our year; but perhaps, it will symbolize that the road we have taken to reach Our Place, will provide an Exit from our year, which may turn to a Detour for the years still to be spent here. Helping the staff finance the book, wishing the best to graduates, and recognizing Woodlan as a part of the world, the community, for this we sincerely thank all the adver- tisers and patrons who made it possible for us to show the world a glimpse of 1975, graciously spent in Our Place. 154 Division Page - Advertising CUMMINS DECORATING Interior and Exterior Painting TRION TAVERN 503 Broadway New Haven, Indiana Dining For The Whole Family and Banquet Facilities.
