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.
