I I Ywziflboofe flzzjjf In an effort to get greater student participation in the yearbook prepara- tion, a new system has been devised this year. Each of the teachers in charge of a section in the book is assigned a group of four or five students represent- ing each of the grades in the high school. These people are given assignments from the master plan, and under the supervision of the teacher in charge, they prepare the assigned section. Under this plan, within two or three years we will always have experienced assistance from the student body. The selection of the faculty for their role in the yearbook plan remains the same. Mr. Heiman, as in previous years, is general supervisor. The Senior class adviser is chair- man of the committee assisted by last year's Senior and Sophomore class adviser. I l I QQ? ROW: H.

The theme selected for your 1950 annual is Water , This is most fitting for a school and a comrmity such as Woodlavrn situated on Lake Erie's shores. Water, with all of its potentials, was one of the deciding factors for the locating of certain kinds- of industry in this area. This, in turn, has determined to a considerable degree, the kind of work available in and around the community. Thus, economically, all of us are affected by this fact. ' ' Our children as well as our adults have taken advantage of the recreational facilities available because of our location on a l.arge body of water. Swimming, boating, fishing, as well as other forms of aquatic sport are familiar to all of us. Lake Erie has given us more than material advantages. One living so close cannot help being emotionally influenced by its impressive expanse. We have learned to love it and yet to respect and to fear it. Water, calm, cool, crystal clear, murmuring quietly as its ripples gently kiss the sandy shores- Waterg angry, turbulent, cold gray, roaring as its mountaineous waves crash the rocky coast sending forth clouds of hissing spray - Water in its many' moods personifies all of the emotions of man as well as his ambitions, his strengths, and his weaknesses. Like the waters of Lake Erie, we, too, are often unpredictable. Growing-up time is the time to become acquainted with ourselves. It is during our youth that we have the greatest opport- unity to do this. If we fail to discover our weaknesses, we will never have the opportunity to overcome them. If we do not recognize our special abilities, we may never be able to develop them. If we do not take time now to establish good habits relative to our conduct, or our in- terests, we may never find time to do so. That opportunity is for each of us and education is to assist us in taking advantage of it. Today you are seniors. Tomorrow you will join the ever-growing roll of graduates, the alumni of Woodlavm. It is our hope that the training you have received during the past six years has given you a new sense of values, a new perspective which will enable you to better comprehend the ever changing conditions, be they political, economic or social and to react to them with a sense of fair play for all.
