That sort of describes the feeling of thinking students and teachers regarding this past school year. From the early days in December when we moved from the old, worn, familiar surroundings to the bright, new rooms, fond memories kept recurring. Now the year is over. And even as the old high school is gone, so also are two old personal friends. Mrs. Taylor, long a familiar sight in the cafeteria, leaves a host of friends to take up the fob of owning and operating a well known cafe. Roy Fuller, a cheery, friendly beam of light in the dim recesses of the boiler room, has reached retire- ment age and plans to spend his well-earned ease fishing. To both of these old friends we wish the best of good things to come. ln the days to come, this year of old and new, one of transition, will take its place along with the others, which some day will seem a wonderful golden dream of youth. If this I956 Wocowa helps to make these recollections of days gone by seem a bit more precious, then its purpose will have been accomplished. Roy Fuller, engineer and custodian, UAW 5-12 whose quiet friendly manner has en- deared him to teachers and students alike, retires this year to try his hand at fishing in Minnesota.

MEMBERS DILIGENT IN PURSUIT OF DUTIES ln the friendly, placid, yet sincere and earnest expressions on the faces of hoard memhers, clerk and superintendent pictured above, lies a Clue to the harmony, happiness and teamwork which seven citizens engender as they go about their duties. That a near-million dollar building program is almost completed with a minimum of trouhle is in no small part due to the teamwork mentioned in the preceding sentence. Hoy Sellers, re-elected again this year, was selected chairman of the hoard, replacing Norman Alackson. Mr. Alackson is currently conyalescing from a serious spinal ailment for which major surgery was resorted to. By next year this time a hrand new auditorium will have heen erected on the site of the old high school. Rich in experience and wisdom, board members are shown at their everyday jobs . . . John Hillis, Chevrolet salesman, also noted for model filbert farm HilIis Hill , Roy Sellers, veteran Ford mechanic for F. M. Neil, is certainly a young-looking grandfather, as competent as he always looks, Walter Gregorius, Security State Bank cashier, is keenly interested in gardening and carpentering as hobbies, happy is the word for dairyman Norman Jackson, though for several months spinal disks have been out-of-order enough to severely pain him twenty-four hours a dayp just above Mr. Jackson is shown Mrs. Beatrice Jolly who for nearly a quarter century has sent children oft to school and met them coming home at night . . . here she meets the bus as it stops to let off Jim, Joe, Pete, Jesse and Mike. s u P E P P 'f I N N c T I E P N A D L e N T ADMINISTRATION IS SEVEN-DAY-A-WEEK JOB Administering the schools at Woodland comes near to being a 1'Ol111d-tl'1C- clock, seven days a week job. With a building program nearing completion, community responsibilities the people look to school folk to Carry out, both Mr. Hanft, high school principal, and Mr. Homburg, superintendent, live busy lives. Mr. Homburg, above left, is pictured talking to a school patron one Saturday this spring. Standing in the doorway of the new high school, with a folder of specifications barely visible in his left -hand, he was hailed by some visitors as he strode PUI'pOS6flllly from his office in the grade school building. His work clothesv are standard garb for after-school wear. In his own classroom- teaching days an enthusiastic shop teacher, he designed and laid out the sheet lead from which the laboratory sinks were made. His work there and in other departments, plus Mr. Sienkois 'Caided by Bob Hoefsj, resulted in beautifully but sturdily constructed tables and cabinet work for the science room, home economics room and the art room. Mr. Hanft, pictured above right unlocking the building bright and early, is probably the most busy utypicali' high school principal for miles around. Besides conducting the affairs of a busy high school program smoothly and equitably, he belongs to the VVoodland Fire Department. This may not sound like much to the uninitiated, but to those in the know the life of a volunteer fireman . . . yes, the department is strictly volunteer . . . is a busy one. Weekly meetings throughout the year at which fire fighting is practiced brought the Woodland organization statewide recognition. Service club work is a taken-for- granted part of the teaching profession. Mr. Hanft is a past president of the Woodland Lions. Keeping the boss on the beamv is one way an efficient secretary might describe her duties. Both administrators are fortunate in having just that type of secretary. Mrs. Blauman, pictured immediately below Mr. Hanft, works half a day as his secretary. Mrs. Martin, shown instructing a student assistant, serves both Mr. Homburg and the school board as secretary and general factotum.

I tudenl Council WOODLAND HOSTS STUDENT COUNCIL CONFERENCE The Student Council's big event came in the middle of the school year when an Inter-School Relations Council meeting was held here February 21. Twelve schools, including guest school Beaver- ton High, were present to talk over school problems. ASB president, Ron Nelson, presided over the day- long session. In March the council decided to obtain informa- tion on receiving a foreign exchange student in this school, either in the year 1956-57 or 1957-58. The reason for some uncertainty about when this might get under way is that a considerable amount of money must be raised for the transportation and support of a foreign student. The goveming council also voted to purchase, in conjunction with the 'WV' club, a public-address system for the athletic field at an approximate cost of 8500. A plaque system was set up to give recognition to seniors for four years' performance in scholar- ship, dramatics, athletics, music, publications and student leadership. The two-party system of elections was again held C this being the second year of suchj with lots of competition for student offices. Throughout the year Edith Blair served as secretary-treasurer of the Southwest Washington Association of Student Councils. Officers for the past year were Bon Nelson, president, Edith Blair, vice-president, Ioyce Iohn- son, secretary, Melly Cregorious, member-at-large, Laura Pittman, treasurer, and Jim Iolly, assistant treasurer. .

The original 4x4,' were: Gary Balch, Charles Blum, Bob Hoefs, Stan Huston, jim Knight, Jerome Nelson, Ron Nelson, Ron Powell, Marilyn Brown, Grace Bryant, Diane Button, Dar- lene Fitzgerald, Shirley Kasberg, Florine Lane, Marlene Orloske and joyce Stoliby. By the time we had finished our early years in the old school Edith Blair, Toni Karnis, Charlotte Martin, Peggy Morgan, Laura Pittman, Sharon Summers and Darlene Wilson had joined our ranks. And four years later as sophomores we had added nine more classmates: Arnie Albrecht, Darlene Balch, Mort Robbins, john Pennington, Ann Paul, Delores Satterlee, LaVerne Wick, LaQueta Wil- liams and Carolyn Koski. As sophomores we proudly wore our new Kelly green and white class sweaters. Then late in our sophomore year we selected our class ring style and waited, oh so anxiously, for the arrival of the bands of gold which symbolized our getting along the road toward graduation. The next fall, when we were full-fledged juniors, the rings came. enior Class History Right: Treasurer Darlene Balch, Secretaey Toni Karnis, Adviser Mrs. Gimmey, and S. . Rep. Marilyn Brown attempt to work out financial end of Senior Day activities. Two names to be put in our memory books were No More Homework, our class play, and A Holi- day in Romef, the theme of our prom. Our prom was the last junior formal dance to be held in the old big gymf, Our first class activity as seniors was the joint presentation, together with the juniors, of Riddle Me Richesf, a comedy. Even as our junior formal dance was the last one to be held in the old schoolf' so our Senior Ball, Winter Fantasyf, was the first formal dance in the new multi-purpose room of the new school building. It was a fantasy of shades of blue, con- trasted with silvery-white, and was held the first Saturday in December. An estimated sixteen seniors attended. Senior portraits, cards and announcements were ordered in December to make the month a memor- able one, and served to bring us another step toward graduation. February saw 'us measured for our blue and white caps and gowns. We also deliberated on the site where we would hold our senior day, which was held May 18. Mt. Hood Country Club was chosen. Finally Baccalaureate Day arrived, june 3. Then, at last, on june 8 we became the first class to hold our commencement ceremony in the new gym- nasium.

CLASS PROPHECY Gazing into the crystal ball I see Woodland in the year 1976. It is a thriving community that has been put on the map by the class of '56. Let's see just what the megnbers of thgat illustrious class are doing twenty years hence. One of the biggest additions to the town is the university founded by lack Rhodes in 1966. Looking into one of the classrooms one can see Morton Robbins teaching Shakespeare. The faculty directory lists Darlene Fitzgerald as head coach of the girls' football team. -lust beyond the university is the ultra-modern high school of which Charles Blum is principal. tHe succeeded Nir. llaft in 1970.5 Ron Powell teaches safe driving and Laura Pittman con- ducts the sociology classes. Another development is the factory which makes special toasters designed by Diane Button. lThesc throw the burnt toast out the window.J President of the dynamic industry is Ioyce Stoliby. LaVerne Wick is her private secretary. Down on main street may be seen Jerome Nelsorfs fantastic theater, The billboard advertises a technicolor picture produced by Gary Balch, and starring John Drioer and Darlene Balch. A rival of this theater is the opera house, owned and operated by Darlene Wilson. It is featuring the sweet melodies of the hit opera Caramel,', Written by Florine Lane. Arnie Albrecht and Charlotte Martin have the leading roles in this Lewis River treacly treat. Looking into Grace Bryantis drug store Delores Satterlee may be seen pushing a baby carriage followed by frowning hubby. Overhearing the conversation of mayor, Ann Paul, and town marshal, LaQueta Williams, we learn that Marilyn Brown gave up all ideas of marriage and is now chaperone-in-chief in a home for elderly spinsters. Aiming the crystal ball into other parts of the country we see Toni Karnis and Carolyn Koski in Colorado making millions mining uranium. Peggy Morgan is another millionaire- she struck oil in her back yard while planting horse radish. Stanley Huston is working for the F.B.I. Right now he and colleague, Sherrie Kingen., are on the trail of Nothing Yonson. Also in law enforcement is Bob Hoefs of the Space Patrol. He flies space ships designed by Jerry Slayter. Recently Bob, singlehanded, caught the notori- ous space pirate, Iohn Pennington. Edith Blair, the beautiful model, is in Reno getting a divorce from her ninth millionaire husband. Bob Carrico and Ron Nelson are both in New York. Bob now outranks Dior in fashions while Bon has just bought out Helena Rubenstein. Some of the class have traveled extensively. Shirley Kasberg discovered a new continent on one of her journeys and promptly named it Woodlandia. Marlene Orloslce was installed as its first president. Laila Hietala has gone to the Belgian Congo where she operates a dancing school for the natives. Also in Africa is Jim Knight, the big game hunter, who is rumored to have captured a very rare animal which he shipped to Sharon Summers' zoo at Horseshoe Lake Park. The crystal ball is fading rapidly and will reveal no more. But anyone with half a mind can see that the class of fifty-six has a magnificent destiny. 23 3 .:., -1 .

The prom, supreme moment socially for many a junior, was held on April 7. The motif was titled Stair- way to the Stars, and a dimly lighted room duskily colored with blue and silver added to the illusion suggested by the title. Decorating the gymnasium for commencement has traditionally been the final project for the junior class. Mervin Brown f fl JOYCG Johnson 1112 I 2 . A 4: . + ' ' N .as ,ww - ' -1 . :Wit ' ,.,. I . .

Miss Gregory, girls, physical education teacher, who was one of their co-advisers, together with Ossy Lcniiere, boys, physi- cal education instructor, taught the eager sophs rudi- ments of hallroom dancing in a manner to bring a smile to Arthur Murray's face.

For the first time in four years an initiation was held for incoming members. Another highlight was thc Changing of the club name from the liCtl0I'lllEI1,S Club to the UVVU Club. Programs were provided for all home football games for the second consecutive year. Father-Son banquet was held November 12, sponsored by the GYVD vvearers. A smoker April 27 with LaCenter, on a home and home basis, netted the club 557500. Also boosting the elub's treasury was the sale of ice cream slices at basketball games. The brawny athletes also helped shoulder the project of getting a PA system for the school.

JOURNALISTS DISCOVER ENGLISH AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT Attempting to publish the school newspaper, Beavertonian, every two weeks except during examination periods every six weeks, the journalism class, eleven strong as against last yearis twice that number, soon discovered that words and their usage meant hours of work outside class. However, there were moments of fun, as may be seen in candid pictures below. Nellyis birthday falling but a day or two away from Mr. Stroud's, the hard-driving taskmaster bor- rowed an old Indian custom and with Nellyis aid held a Kpotlatchv for the class and several honorary journalists. Cokes and animal crackers was the surprise refreshment. Because of the smallness of the class, it was necessary to reach outside it for many staff positions on the yearbook, Wocowa, usually held by members of the journalism class, themselves. 1 With the adviser assigned three English classes, and he desirous to remain 'in the science field also, Mr. Stroud will not teach journalism next year. He will, however, remain as Wocowa adviser, Mrs. Gimmey taking over the Beavertonian and journalism, along with her regular commercial subjects.

In the first year of the combined north-south Trieo league, the Beavers finished with a six Won and ten lost record for the round-robin schedule. For the full season the team Won nine While dropping eleven games. At the annual basketball banquet Don W'oodWard received the outstanding player award and Gary Balch the inspirational player trophy. Sophomore Arnold Lemke received the coveted American Legion scrub award. For their outstanding play during the season, both Balch and Woodward earned honorable mention on the All-Star teams selected by Trico coaches.

A lack of. consistent hitting and a handicap of pitchers coming up with sore arms, kept the Beavers from going places. However, the prospect for the future is bright with only two seniors on the squad. Returning lettermen on the squad Were: Ron Nelson, Don Woodward, Nick Chester, Robby Pettit, Dave Pihoades, jerry Turner, Ron Albrecht, Arnie Kainu, and Henry Hoefs. Of these nine, only Nelson, VVoodward, Chester, and Pettit were regulars last year. Others who showed well were Bob Carrico who was one of the LCklITl,S top hitters, Ken Bays, Ron Huddleston, Arnold Lernke, and john Youngman. Chuck F eris, who moved to California at the end of his frosh year and who had earned a letter in baseball that spring, returned to Woodland in time for the Castle Rock game. It is hoped his hitting will give the Beavers sorely needed punch. Nelson and Carrico were the clubs only seniors. 1956 NORTH TRICO BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 13-Longview 3 . ,, .,,,. ,.,. , .

Blauman's runners gave a good account of themselves, but no point gathering in high jump, broad jump or pole vault did the trick. Mervin Brown, ace middle distance man, garnered the only first place ribbon with a work- manlike 880 yard run after just moments earlier taking second in the 100 yard dash. Rich Nehr came in second and Arnie Albrecht third in the 440. Doug Button placed third in the 880 yard run to Brownis first. Bob Hoefs took third and Bob Meize fourth in the mile run. Bill Reese and jerry Slayter placed third and fourth in the low hurdles. Gary Balch picked up a second place ribbon in the shot put, while team mate Bob Carrico came in third in the discus throw. The 880 yard rclay team of Albrecht, Reese, Nehr and Brown came in third to complete the point making for the meet. Total--27W points. Earlier in the season a new Lakeside Relay record for the mile relay was set at 3:41.3 by Brown, Hoefs, Albrecht and Nehr. Lost through graduation are Slayter, Carrico, Hoefs, Albrecht, Balch, Drivcr.

And the lads, with their mentors pictured here, actually have lived a success story in athletics this year. The football team won nine straight games for an undefeated season, after not winning a single game in 1954! Right up to the final games, both the basket- ball teams, shown alongside, were undefeated. The seventh graders pulled off the trick and remained undefeated as they polished off Castle Roekis team to post their first undefeated season in several years. Their older brothers were less fortunate. Castle Rock could do noth- ing Wrong that final game, so the eighth grade finished with a single defeat on their record. As baseball hits the mid-season mark, the joint seventh-eighth grade nine has yet to taste defeat. Truly a story of determination, and one deserving the plaudits of little Beavers and big Beavers, alike. i' 'A' i' Seventh Grade Basketball Row l: Sam Risley, Harry Slayfer, Billy Northcut, Dick Weissenfluh, Mitchell Keisala, Jim Adams, Coach Bill Cheatley.

They became part of the grade school when the new wing had been completed, and they had moved into their present quar- ters. However, the Wocowa staff felt that their younger friends' activities were a part of this school year. With this thought in mind, the following pages were so planned. MR.

Without their aid a book of this kind would not be possible. Also there have been several anonymous friends, who for reasons of their own prefer to remain simply: Friends. To all such well wishers the Wocowa staff is appreciative and trusts the students for whom this book has been published will take cognizance of such loyalty and reciprocate in kind.
