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 7

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. .
