That best describes a man or woman who is on the school board of his community. And such a person is Mrs. Teander Olson, retired member of the board after serving three years. Walter Gregorius, Mrs. Olson's successor, has served the com- munity quietly and effectively in many capacities prior to his consenting to take an active part in the running of the Woodland schools. Roy Sellers was elected chairman of the board at the time Mr. Gregorius was seated. Norman jackson, Selleris predecessor, had completed five years as chairman. Mrs. Beatrice Jolly and Iohn Hillis are serving their first terms. Only in the planning stages last year. the new high school plant to which the individual members have devoted long hours, is fast taking shape and promises to be ready for occupancy by the opening of school next fall.

On November 8th construction started on the new buildings which will appear simple. The occupants will provide the necessary enrichment. The old facilities have served well since they have housed the pupils who have deserved recog- nition for their accomplishments. For this I am very glad and will be looking forward to still more names on the honor roll when we have the pleasure to occupy our new buildings where conditions will be more conducive to high scholarship. Our athletic teams were very successful al- though they did not win any championships. Our music and dramatic departments have given unusual presentations. The school paper has con- tinued to be a splendid piece of work. The student body has developed immensely and we will he looking forward to still further growth and development. This all adds up to a very high standard of performance at VVoodland. Those of you who will be returning must vow to continue this up- ward trend in all phases of your school life. You can do itl All of us wish the best of everything to those who will be leaving. differ 7 I I '4 Students often fail to realize the wealth of wonderful experiences they have while attending high school. I am sure, however, that you will spend many enjoyable hours with this yearbook, recalling classmates, activities, and teachers. As you recall these memories, you will realize that a very momentous part of your life was spent in school. You will recall, among other things, the foot- ball, basketball, baseball, and track squads which represented VVoodland on the athletic fields. You will recall the class plays and music productions. Hours spent on the Beavertonian and Wocowa will bring memories to many of you. Assemblies, club and class activities will be long remem- bered. All these and many other activities, plus the actual classroom work, make up high school life. I feel that you students have done an excellent job this year largely because you have been cooperative and willing to work. I sincerely hope that your after school life will be as successful. .aww ww' .sx 1 x I President George Blair 'im A.S.B Officers Ed- e iff, er 'c,,y,af9 Blair Assisfanf Treasurer Laura Pittman Treasurer Mary Lou Blackleclge Vice President Orville Seifert 8 Incl Nl ll STUDENT COUNCIL Clmnging thc form ol' ASIS clcctions was tht- main unclcrtuking initiutcd In thc Stuclcnt Council this ycur. .Xlitcr :Lttcncling Stuclcnt Council mccts cxclmnging iclcus with stuclcnts from otlicr schools. thc Council felt S coulcl prolit grcutly ln' using il two party systcni with primary and r it-rail clcc-tions.

OF 1955 Class History Class Flower - Yellow rose buds. Class Colors -- Yellow and white. Class Motto - Do unto others as you would have them do unto youfi Only 11 of the present 47 members of the senior class began their schooling at Woodland Grade School in 1948. They are: Patsy Evans, Bill Kasberg, Lorraine Insell, Danny Steph, Penny Holloway, Bob Lahti, Margie Swett, Charles Blue, Wayne Brannon, Arnold Osmanberg and Gilbert Weese. Our first step into the grown-up world came, we thought, with our entrance into the high school building in 1949. During our freshman year Miss Thomas and Mr. Lemiere were appointed advisers for the duration of our high school years. We entered our sophomore year in 1953, with- out an initiation. We sponsored various money- making projects and a class party. Our class sweaters and rings were also ordered this year. I Remember Mamaf' our junior play, was a tremendous success. Beth Olson portrayed the role of Maman expertly. Tim Peterson was equally convincing as the stubborn, booming- voiced Uncle Chrisf, The immediate members of the family Katrin, Dagmar, Nels and Christine, were played by Helen Kortes, Naomi Kainu, Ralph Givens and Lorraine Insell. Bonnie Dinsmore, Patsy Evans, Wayne Bran- non, Myrtle Pittman, Mary Lou Blackledge, Penny Holloway, Bob Morgan, Delores Schmitt, and Mary Blankenship were also in the cast, making it one of the largest at Woodland for some time. Our junior prom, China Town,', saw the gymnasium elaborately decorated with crepe paper, colored lights and murals. The expenses, however, exceeded the intake, resulting in a loss of over 50 dollars. Having no theme for our senior ball, we decor- ated the gym to resemble a large ballroom. Cut- ting down on the expenses helped a great deal financially and we nearly broke even. The Young Impi' was selected as our senior play. This three-act farce was well received by those attending. Throwing all caution to the wind, we had our Senior Day Friday, May 13. The most memorable event of our school years was commencement, june 8. Seniors sadly bid their friends bon voyage as they walked through the hallowed halls of Woodland for the last time.

Through careful planning, expenses for the dance were cut considerably. Eager beavers at earning money for the class, they sponsored a dance after the Kalama football game. The saying all work and no playv didn't hold true for this class. On the night of January 22 a party was held in the little gym at which time all enjoyed ping pong, bingo and dancing.

In addition to reports on Mexico, dances, songs, and artwork by the students com- pleted the program.

At the time the annual went to press, they had won the room count five out of seven times. On February 24, the class en- joyed a skating party at the Roll- O-Way in Longview. With a brief taste of high school life, the class will begin the 55,' fall term in the new junior high wing where they will be more closely tied to grade school affairs than to high school life as they were this year. 4.

George Blair and Mary Ellen Blankenship carried the leading arts and they were ably assisted by Tim Peterson and Mary Forslund, who sang wel and ciuried most of the comic parts of the musical. Other principals who capably performed, in this, the first operetta at WHS in more than two decades, were Florine Lane, Peggy Morgan, Myrtle May Pittman and Quentin Robbins. A specialty number, the can canf' was well done by Brenda Button, Joyce Stoliby, Marilyn Brown and Helen Kortes. The sets, reaching nearly three-fourths the length of the gymnasium floor fonly place big enough to stage the productionl, were designed and executed by Ted Dc Groot, Horse Shoe Theater Guild sparkplug and drama enthusiast.

ARNIE ALBRECHT The 1955 basketball season saw the Beavers finally beat Kalama, and both games at that. Kalama had never been beaten on their home court before Woodland turned the trick, nor had any team whipped the Chinooks twice in league play. The double victory made the season a successful one for the up and down Beavers. The Beavers won nine and lost nine games for the full season. In league play, they lost five out of eight, which gave them fourth place in the Northern Division of the Trico League.

TRICO LEAGUE TRACK CHAMPIONS, 1955 For the first time in the history of the Trico league or, for that matter, athletics at VVHS, the Beaver 1955 track squad canie home with the league track champion- ship. Better halanee right down the line spelled the margin of victory for By Blauinan's thinclads. XVoodland and Stevenson hoth took four first places, hut the Beavers were able to pick off more seconds, thirds and fourths, racking up l.'314z this way to Stcvenson's 8 points for places other than first. Only one and one-half points separated the two leaders going into the final event, the high jump. Blau- inanis crew trailed ZTV2 to Stevenson's 28 points as the jumpers vied. VVhen the last man had finished, Dick Burns had taken first, Bob Morgan had tied with Ridge- field for second, and Boh Hoefs had tied with Deaf School for fourth place . . . thus NVoodland's first Trico track championship.
