Many hours are being utilized in its preparation. Both students and members of the faculty are giving freely of their time and energy. We may ask why all this effort and some may even speculate as to its aim or its purpose. As in any activity, it is not only advisable but often nec- essary to stop and to check, to carefully analyze ones own ach- ievements in the light of his ultimate goal. It is the hope that this annual, to a small degree at least, may secure this purpose. It is a record in picture and in word of our school: of its organization, its achievements, its ideals and its aims. The compilation of this material for such a record will necessarily lead to self analysis and self appraisal. May this annual serve us in the years 'ahead not only as a record of our schoo1's progress but also as an inspiration to guide 'WOODLAWN EVER FORWARDN. g ?fq Z! . f . - C ..

Through it officials rule wisely, magistrates decree justice, executives create industries bringing higher living standards to millions, and the masters, as revealed in the classics, bring to all a richer life. Guided by this broad concept your school has been planned and organized to bring you this wide program. Education is more than the mastery of books. It means the preparation for life. School is a laboratory where those traits and ideals de- manded for success in the world can be developed: and if you would desire success recognize those traits and prepare yourself by developing them in school: integrity in all you dealings: a personality that will inspire friendship because you have demonstrated that you can be depended upong a desire for those eternal values found in music, literature, art, philosophy, and religion. Your superintendent takes great pleasure in thus paying tribute to a fine school commending the faculty for a memorable accomplishment and challenging the student to ever high endeavor.

Their interests center around sports, music and drama. 17 I Top Row: Walter Daniels, P.

At first we couldn't remember our combinations or find our classrooms. Now we can get around as well as anyone in the high school. It has been a busy year. At Christmas time we had a party with a tree and presents. January 15th, was a big day. We gave our first assembly program in the high school auditorium. But the biggest event of the year, the Indoor Carnival, came two nights later. While other classes took part, we were the SPOHSOPS. We are very proud that it turned out to be a huge success Another highlight was the trip through the-Federal Cement Plant. So with class activities, parties and studies, it has really been a very busy year. leo GHHDE SCHUUL I sent a letter to my ---- Technique School' s out! . v '- - - g u m 1 ' 4, Q my - -. .- sw, ,sea :. :a 1, A- w w I-:ws -- Qf s - .Li z W -gh: Sian'-tag:sEiE:a::y: ww 'H,,5.,, :- ' E 5' 5 - '5l 2 :13::?5:::f- ' M3225 :iii :E f5'E::E ff. , ' 5 1 Ja' ffm , k Y ' as L, ,. ,.

The pioneers made brave attempts to master the art of playing 5 trumpets, 2 clarients, l baritone, l bass, 2 trombones, 1 alto horn, a bass and a snare drum. Oh, yes-there was a cymbal too! Lessons were given at any con- venient time in any available place including the boiler room in the Elementary School. There was, however, an unflagging zeal and an unconquerable spirit. This group was the nucleus which gave impetus to the idea of organizing a redognized High School Band. Each year found new students seeking membership. At intervals instruments were added such as: a new bass drum, bells, euphonium, saxophones and sousaphone. Beautiful new uniforms were supplied in 1959 and in this same year the band members were very proud of their appearance at the Annual Spring Concert. The average band membership is from thirty to forty students. 29 I JUHIUR CHUHUS Q,-sneazffss:5z1'2q,gnAf:'s:1:msZi , ,N N f .,,:-fLv,' A mfg-ffw ,-.. is , ' fSfs2 ' 22'sf2N 'f'ff2' is-:Q sa 2, ,ai M he 'Ia K X 2 3 , Y 2.53221 Emilio Paolini, Carolyn Long, Dolores Joseph, Roselyn Kuhl, Shirley Morefield,Joan Young, Sylvia Mogall, Elaine Holthoff, Pauline Pinter Rose Edwards, Carol Bartus, Barbara Olson, Diane McLeod, Jean Lee, Dawn Ramsey, Joan Crotty, Anita Rodriguez, Frances Carmody Last Row: Third Row: Second Row: James Frisa, Howard Bell, Dominic Govenettio, Paul Murray, John- Gretka, Kenneth Sickau, Kay McBratnie, Florence Brown Russell Cheney, Mary Haas, Barbara Meyers, Hazel McKay, Miss Smith Hester Croakman, Ethel Larson, Rose Andrisani GIRLS' EHSEIHBLE Front Row: Absent: Peggy Kelly 4.,1h-...alia wh., 3 Dorothy Gunson, Helen Oleniacz, Betty Page, Jean Marie Larson, Marilyn Lee Sylvia Cheney, Betty Koletar, Lois Peet, Stephanie Lichon Edna Boseck, Mary Reiford, Miss Fiske, Joyce Latsoh, Patricia Haas 30 PEI' l N Albert Andrisani, Charles Schardt, Ned Stauffer, Jack Rektorik, Paul Zaccarine Carlton Robbins, Robert Schweikert, Eileen Barrowman CHEER LEHDEHS Kermita Griest, Gloria Hertienne, Betty Page, Joan Chuba Anna Vuglovecki, Betty Mutka, Doris Gurmson, Miss Schauf, Adviser Joan McClelland, Dorothy Ruchalski, Eileen Barrowman, Eloise Croakmarg Betty Raab 31 .

We won the title in the Southern Erie County League, which earned us an invitation to participate in the play- offs as representative of our county. Our first game was against Newfane High at Como Park in Lancaster. We won this game 4-5. The big day came at Bison Stadium in Buffalo. The score was Woodlawn 5, Lakewood 2, in a fine ball game.

I value the association started there, and I know that you look back on these days as among the happiest of your lives: athletic contests, dances, parties, Washington trips, yes, even school romances. But with the end of school days you leave the world of boys and girls, and as men and women face other responsibilities. Once you have passed from school life you can never go back. Another phase of activities startsg but you can from time to time re-live some of the scenes of school days. It is your Alumni Association that furnishes the bridge by which you travel in memory from this busy world you now occupy to the bygone school days. Through this you can from time to time reminisce and with your old friends re-live some of the old school associations. Your officers, together with the Woodlawn faculty, urge you to keep alive these associations of school days. May we in the future see you often. QfVLClJU2MJC.13,QeM1 L .,,.

The medical service is largely preventive in nature, including each year a complete physical examination of every boy and girl in the school. Hearing tests, colorblindness tests and the Patch Test for tuber- culosis are also a constant feature of the health program. The Woodlawn School System is the only one of its size in the State of New York that maintains a fully equipped dental clinic. This clinic is kept busy throughout the year correcting dental defects. Through the activities of this clinic every boy and girl has the privilege of keeping his te th in a good state of repair at a nominal cost. A sound body and a sound mind is one of the most important assets in human living. Health habits formed in school will function for the duration of the individuals life.
