As each year passed, mdxfg, byarfches and leaves were added, and now it stands, representing our school life. Of course, our oak would never have flourished without the excellent guidance and patience of our faculty and adminis- tration. If we gain half as much in the next four years as we have in the past four, we will have fulfilled part of the obligation to our parents, teachers, and ourselves. Now comes the time to unfold the leaves of our mighty oak to you-our fel- low students and many friends.

P age 110 i bil' Woofd Wall 80,0 v As we begin to grow and mature our mighty oak, we certainly must start with the roots. As the roots furnish the power and character of the tree, our administration, board of education, and faculty furnish us with power and skill for learning. We constantly find our board in action, showing they are interested in our welfare-watch our superintendent and principal as they keep order and proceed to make the environment of our school an excellent place for proper studying. We see our faculty carrying on projects for the betterment of our citizenship in the community as well as in the classroom. Then we note ourselves working in science, history, English, math or some other course, trying to gain some of the knowledge our faculty can give us with their deep-rooted experience. Let us dig deeper for these roots that we may learn from our truly fine administration.

It is their job to review the program and needs of the high school from the community's point of view. They bring to the board meetings their recom- mendations, suggestions, and proposals for the betterment of the school. A policy of funda- mental importance to the board of education is to attempt to determine what problems today's youngsters will meet when they grow up, as well as to decide what they should be learning now in preparation to meet those problems. The yearis major project of the board and the school administration is the shop building program, intended to provide a comprehen- sive school curriculum with educational op- portunities for all interests and abilities. fSee the end sheetsj This building program will provide entirely adequate, substantial shops at a time when the school needs good shops and also needs to make room for larger enrollments. The three-hundred thousand dollar building is compact in design, eco- nomical and sturdy in construction, tailored precisely to the special needs of VVoodstock. The students of Community High are sin- cerely grateful to the board of education for its .whole-hearted support of a progresivc worthwhile high school program. Mr. Thor Emcicson was un- able to have his picture taken. MR. ROBERT VIEREGG Secretary MR. JOHN EMERY MR. WALTER THUROW PRINCIPAL A. C. DRUMMOND SUPERINTENDENT N. N. STORK SECRETARY MRS. A. JONES AND ASSISTANT MRS. G. KIEFER The roots of our mighty oak reach deep into the earth, bringing forth life-giving nourishment. Like the roots, the administra- tion supplies our mighty oak with nourish- ment in the form of guidance, advice, and a cheery smile. Mr. Stork and Mr. Drum- mond haye played a major role in the addi- tion and completion of the newest branch on our mighty tree, the shop building. It is upon their shoulders that rests the strenuous and dilheult task of running our school efliciently and smoothly, while seeking that each branch is given its due attention. The secretary, Mrs. Alice Jones, and the assistant secretary, Mrs. George Kiefer, also play a large part in promoting the growth of our impregnable oak. Besides keeping the books for our school district, they must keep the school corre- spondence up to date, keep the financial rec- ords for all the many school organizations, and act as a general information bureau for everyone. All in all, they do a wonderful job of keeping our tree in harmony. Mrs. George Kiefer resigned her position on the 15th of December in favor of raising her own little oak. MISS S. MARGARET MR.

QCII-Ay Our faculty is not a group of people, who spend merely seven or eight hours at school, for many of their nights are spent grading papers and working with our organizations, here at school and away. The days that they spend at I.E.A. divisional meetings and the McHenry County Institute, are holidays for us. They are not only a help to us, but also to the community. Although they are busy with their personal lives, they still find the time for civic and fraternal organizations. Many belong to organizations which pertain to their specific fields, plus their memberships in the I .E.A. and N .E.A. During the summer, the faculty members travel a great deal, not only in the United States, but last summer in Europe and the Caribbean, too. Others spend their summers taking courses, which will aid them in their teaching Held. Their assistance and guidance has been a great help to us during our high school years, and will aid us greatly throughout our lives. MR, LARRY DALE: B.A., Illinois College.

By studying ,English We learn a little bit about all types of authors, so that We may choose our reading material intelligently. Be- sides literature we learn about grammar and sentence structure, so we may express ourselves with more clarity and directness. CPictured: Some Tale of Two Cities projects at open house done by the sophomores, and, below, center picture is diagramming by Ira Townsend and Carol Larson in Junior English. Regardless of whether or not one is planning to design houses, drafting can be an asset. In drafting or mechanical drawing, the student learns how to make and read blueprints, and in so doing gains an understanding of how much work goes into the planning of buildings and machines. QPictu'red: Mr. Sparks pointing out a drawing to John Hanley, Perry Johnson, and Harry Thomfoh'rda.J At W.C.H.S. there is a Wide variety of math courses ranging from general math to trig. In many business fields a complete understanding of algebra and geometry is essential. In every- day life one can hardly manage without at least a knowledge of arithmetic and its byproduct of developing accurate and efficient thinking. QPicturecl: Miss Schmiedeskampis solid geome- try class efcamining a geometric figure, Edda Brettl explainingj Those who take woodshop study cabinet mak- ing and carpentry. In addition to studying these subjects, the boys make practical appli- cations of their skill by refinishing furniture and making their own. Taught also by Mr. Ray is plumbing, electricity, sheet metal work, and both arc and acetylene Welding. fPictu'red: Jim M ason is constructing his model of a house.j Physical edcation provides a welcome break in the daily routine of classes. All boys play football in the fall, basketball and volleyball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. Some boys also have tumbling, boxing, wrestling, and track. Both boys and girls go swimming in the winter. Girls' sports include hockey, basket- ball, dancing, volleyball, tennis, archery, and softball. All sports tend to develop co-ordina- tion and good sportsmanship. fPictured: Calisthenics in Mr. O,Hara's sixth hour boys, gym, and mastering the hula in second hour girls' gym are Vicki Hargus, Miss Witherell, and Marlene Memler.J Some who take radio shop go on and study further in television and radio. But even those who don't go on in a specialized field of elec- tronics find satisfaction and profit in knowing something about the functioning of their radio or T.V. set. QPictured: See a group of boys inspecting the motor they made in Radio Shopj C6 jkid glclucafion ormri 1 E 523 ll!! W4..-,Q he 0'-if V, sg, ,, X N ,Q e rw egg I yn 5 A- N5 a . I , 2 ? K .

Those in choir and chorus gain a real appreciation of music plus the enjoyment and fun of belonging to a vocal group. fPictured: Mr. Gaarder directs the Choir in a Christmas numberg All who take agriculture can benefit greatly by learning the methods of farming and gain- ing certain technical knowledge which cannot be taught at home. With this knowledge, a boy can more readily face the increasingly difficult problems of the farmer. CPictured: Mr. Forgey and his boys illustrate how electric machines are used in far-ming.J In clothing the girls are taught mainly how to choose clothes intelligently and how to take care of them. Sewing is studied so the girls may acquire enough skill to make their own clothes. qPictured: At Open House last year Judy Russell and Dorothy Fischer gave an actual example of the work done in clothing class.D Like vocal music, instrumental music pro- vides a certain satisfaction to the individual who can play an instrument well, Besides play- ing in the band, these students are given separate lessons during the week, which they practice at home and use in the band or orchestra. fPictured: The clarinet players are going over and over that one spot3'j Typing is one subject which is handy for everyone. In this subject you learn to use the touch system and how to set up letters, in- voices, telegrams, and statistical reports. Also taught is olfice practice, where students are taught filing and transcription work. CPictured: A typical shot of senior girls in office practicej In general and physical science one learns a little about a lot of subjects. In chemistry, most of the time is spent on chemical compounds and equations, supplemented by experiments. Physics is the more advanced science and helps a person better understand the scientihc miracles surrounding him everyday. CPictured: Mr. Swartoutis physical science class prepare an experiment, and Larryis chemistry class, about to witness a major explosion set by Bob McConnell and held by brave John Mas- sey.D In the past many boys have been given steady employment due to their experience in machine shop, where they learn the safe and efficient operation of different power tools. Now that we have a new shop building, the mechanically-minded student has a better op- portunity for learning than ever before. CPictured: A welding operation with Mr. Ray, as Mr. Murana's shop was not ready the-n.5 In speech class the students actually prepare and give speeches, which become longer as the year progresses. By doing this they learn the fundamentals of public speaking, and how to keep their audience interested, while gaining confidence to meet everyday situations. QPictured: The speech class listening to an ora- tion by Ken Boh.n.J Of course everyone should know and be proud of the history of his country, and that is why all juniors must take history. In all history courses we study the important happenings of the past and present so that we will be better prepared to understand the future. Civics class made an album explaining our entire govern- ment, under auspices of Jr. Red Cross, and sent if to Japan. CPictu'red: A group of cifuics' students studying the exchange book from students in Japanj The object of art is not to turn out artists, but to give the student an understanding of the principles of art and an appreciation of the artistic values in everyday life. Some of the things studied in Miss Walkington's classes are color combinations, principles of design and basis for selections. In handicraft, they etch metal, model clay, tool and carve leather, and work with plastics. fPictured: The handicrafts class at Open House making Christmas cardsj There are two parts to Junior Nursing, those being the studies of anatomy and physiology. Among the many studies covered by the class are simple nursing, child and infant care, health conservation, and home and community sanitary measures. The course can help a girl no matter what vocation she follows. QPictured: The demonstration of artificial respiration.j Social Problems is a course which teaches some basic points of everyday living, accomp- lished by doing the projects required on the many different units of work such as educa- tion, family, religion, personality and geo- graphic environment. qPictured: Leonard Piotter. Karen Anderson. and Marv Marzahl getting material for written work from Mr. O,Hara.J In first year 'Latin one learns the basic forms of verbs and nouns so that he may go on and read about the Romans and Caesar. Latin gives a better understanding of all languages since all our English is derived from it. tPictured: Part of the second year Latin class using supplementary books and pictures of Ita,ly.D Both in Spanish and French the habits and life of people speaking these languages are described in an interesting manner while the student is learning how to speak the language. By taking either one the pupil better under- stands the people of other countries.

P88 Wkode . . As each year passes in high school, the mighty oak's trunk increases its span and becomes much firmer in stature. The freshmen year is just a start, but the trunk begins to build with the new acquaintances and adventures. When the sophomore year comes along, the trunk is more staunch and sturdy than ever, especially after the jubilee is successfully given. By the time the junior year comes, the trunk is roughened, more gnarled and knotted, and in looking for- ward to the senior year, would almost pass for the fullgrown speciman. Money making projects and putting on the beautiful junior Prom completes the aging of our trunk. The senior year comes and all too shortly goes, but the mighty oak now stands-against any gale--weather-beaten and rough hewn in appear- ance-truly prepared for the years to come-mighty symbol of a mighty class. Getting ready for a noon- time jam session are Karen Anderson, Micki Gallagher, Tom Moricoli, Carol Pope, Marv Marzahl and Bill Sweet. I XSS An. 1 iv . .ky fx 'vik .

At thettime it was rather humiliating, but everyone really had a good time doing the hula, singing Seventeen,, and the loyalty, cheering, and even scrubbing the front steps with a tooth brush. Soon Freshman week was over and we could now walk down the halls with pride and ease. W'e started to get the hang of thingsi' and chose our class officers, led by President Eddy Lamb. Mr. Dale, Miss Czarnecki, Miss y Coultas, Mr. Schultz Before we knew it, it was Homecoming time. We all worked hard on our homecoming float and we were quite proud of it when it almost won third prize. For the Homecoming Dance we chose for our charming queen candidates Linda Parker and Carole Pope. Before we knew it, our Hrst year had come to a close. Next year we will be able to enjoy the effects of Freshman XVeek from the outside, and now that we know W.C.H.S. quite well, we are looking forward to next year and know it will be as much fun as this year was. e .

It was really a switch, not to have to run when a Senior appeared. Now we are laughing with the Seniors, instead of laughing in spite of them. As we watched the Freshmen going through their stunts, our thoughts turned back to the fun-Blled memories of our Freshman X'Veek. We started the year off right by electing capable Sondra Stewart to the ollice of the Sophomore class president. Sondra is assisted by the efficient secretary, janet Emery. We Sophomores think that this year's staff of class ofiicers did a splendid job. As our thoughts turned to football, we also looked forward to the main highlight of the season, Homecoming.

No Junior can forget our lovely candidates, Gayle Burch and Marian Mfiggins. Our Junior Prom queen was crowned by our class president, Bob Keil.

We first elected our president, Carol Vogel, and then came Freshman Week. Somehow we survived the humiliation and went on to present, as our Homecoming Queen candidates, Marilyn Lind- vall and Linda Stecker. Before we knew it, our Freshman year was over and we were seasoned Sophomores. As Sophomores, we chose our president, Mati Nomm, who helped us get action on our new ideas. We chose, as our lovely Homecoming can- didates, Janet Locke and Vicki Hargus. Then came the problem of the Sophomore Jubilee. Sally Kobbs reigned over our successful Lullaby of Broadway. Once again the year had come to an end and those seasoned Sophomores be- came joyful Juniors. Ready for another year full of activity, we clcctcd John Massey our president. For Home- coming canclidates, we chose Marilyn Lindvall and Vicki Hargus to represent us. Our wonder- ful float Canoe Beat 'Em, We'll Wampum, won first prize. Through our concession stand, in which we specialized in hot dogs and pop corn, we got together enough money to give our Junior Prom. Our theme was Fantasy in Pink and to us it was the most beautiful prom ever given. To rule ovcr our 'Fantasyf' we chose lovely Vicki Hargus. The prom drew our year to an end and we were no longer joyful Juniors but successful Seniors. To start our Senior year off in the right way, we had to elect class officers who were: Pres- ident, Ray Stork, Vice-president, Bruce Strat- tong Secretary, Elaine Johnson, and Treasurer, John Tresch. This year it was our turn at the Freshman and it was much more fun welcoming, than being welcomed. Again we entered a tre- mendous first prize Homecoming float, We'll WVhip Emf, Lovely Janet Locke was crowned Homecoming Queen by Varsity Club President jon Wittenberg. She reigned over the dance with Marilyn Lindvall as her senior attendant. Be- cause of their musical ability, the Band Mothers' gave Karen Hiscox, Carol Kniebusch, and Judy Oughton scholarships. Carol was sent to Inter- lochen, and Karen and Judy went to Madison, Wisconsin. john Massey was also sent to Madi- son by the Women's Club. Eight boys were sent to Boys, State, they were: Mati Nomm, john Tresch, John Massey, Marvin Marzahl, jon Wittenberg, Gary Laing, Bill F rett, and Bill Reynolds. At our last Sadie Hawkins Dance Jon Wittenberg was crowned king. One of our big- gest jobs as seniors, was the publication of the . . Ja. Marily Lindvall-the day after the Prom.

We worked late nights on assignments that had a deadline the next day, but we had forgotten all about them! But due to editor, Bill Reynolds, and his able staff, under Miss PfeiHer's direction, we did pull through with a good book. In January came our Rose Dance with its vast preparation. The night of the Dance we saw the result of our work and saw the charming Queen crowned amid her lovely court. After the dance, .ikoof jun. we once again were called back to work on the annual and soon we had it completed and the year was over.

In the spring, we see two events - the glittering Junior Prom and the Mothers, Tea. The fall brings to us the most fun- filled events - the Sadie Hawkins Dance and the Homecoming weekend where we see a beautiful parade of floats, the Homecoming game, and the wonderful dance and crowning of the queen. The main event of the winter adds the loveliest branch to the oak. It is then that we see the magnificent splendor of the Woodcohi Rose Dance. The season is completed late in the winter when the sophomores show off their talent with the Sophomore Jubilee. And, now, in panoraming these gay events we see how necessary this frivolous laughter is-and every tree must lift its arms and laugh-to mature in every way.

This marked the popular Girls' League Dance, Sadie Haw- kins, which was a Come as you wish you were party. This theme brought many types of costumes and much merriment. The cos- tumes ranged from a pajama-clad group of sleepy heads to an oriental couple from Japan. The orchestra provided dance music while Marryin' Sam, Mr. Drummond, kept his marriage li- cense bureau busy.

The moment you passed under the entrance of floating crepe paper to the dreamy dance floor, you were trans- formed to another world. A world of fluffy pink and white, accented with a modern touch of black. Three huge pink and white hoops-from which shimmered strips of the same crepe paper -seemed to be dangling in mid-air. Truly a Pink Fantasy, the theme of this spring co- tillion. Enjoying the refreshments at the bar are: Mati Nomm, Mary Lagerhausen, Marlon Gray, Marian Wiggins, Nancy Gallagher, Michal Finney, Jerry Hoch, and Ronnie Carlson. Forming the front wall were five white trees with miniature abstract mobiles hanging from their graceful branches. Myriads of bigger mo- biles formed a gently waving ceiling. The sides were composed of black silhouettes, the Juniors themselves had acted as models, painted on pink. The back was a solid crepe paper wall extending from ceiling to floor. To serve refreshments, a beautifully decorated bar was placed under one hoop and the enchanting queen candidates and Row 1: Cindy Benton.

John Massey, class president, climaxed the evening by placing a crown of roses on Vicki Hargus' head. The queenis dance followed to the melody of Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom W hite, the proper song for such a lovely dance. Enchanted by the music of Vic Parise, the dancers continued to Hoat on till twelve o'clock when another perfect evening was ended. Truly a memory, never to be forgotten.

The organizations offer a vast variety of hours of enjoyment and better learning for good leadership-student council gives experience in government-excellent music organizations give musical understanding and appreciation. Knowledge through the F FA, the BT,s, and the Gears offer good opportunities to boys for learning better citizenship, while the FH, the GAA, the Girls' League, and Cheer- leading give the girls good background for leadership and co-operation.

Under the splendid direction of Mr. Folsom the band has continued as one of the finest marching and concert bands of the area. The real proof of this is the many blue rib- bons and citations they've won. The snappy rhythm and the sparkling glitter of the band isn't achieved overnight. Every Wede nesday and Friday morning at 8:00 A.M. the strains of the band can be heard throughout the entire school. Their peppy rhythms really set the pace for the school day. The band spends many of these practice hours working out the complicated drills and clever marching skits perfornged at the home football games. They also spenii a great deal of time re-- hearsing for their marvelous concerts, the Home- coming parade, the lNIcHenry County Music Festival, and the Memorial Day Parade. And what a dazzling spectacle they are in the Mardi Gras parade at Riverview! W'ords couldn't ade- quately praise their performance enough!

Their high quality can be witnessed at the many school functions, for which they are in demand, such as Open House -Graduation-Mothers' Tea. Their appear- ances at the spring and winter concerts were well applauded, too. Because there are very few strings, our able director, Mr. Folsom, has patterned thc orches- tra after the Eastman School of Nlusic l'Vind Ensemble in regard to instrumentation and music. He has certainly succeeded very well, as can be heard on NVednesday afternoons, when the full tones 'of the wind instruments blend in harmony. Yes, our orchestra may be small in size, but they've certainly met the many demands for their appearance with the greatest dignity and musicianship.

Their outstanding performances are in keeping with the high standards set by the audiences be- fore whom they have performed. The Woodstock Community High School A Capella Choir is a musical organization of sev- enty select voices chosen annually through com- petitive tryouts. It is under the direction of Mr. Richard Gaarder, a man capable of moving these students to give forth the rich tones that are comparable to the sounds of college choirs. The chorus, another important musical group, is much larger and gives everyone interested in music a chance to participate in all types of songs. Included in the individual groups directed by Mr. Gaarder are the madrigal, the girls, ensem- ble, and the boys, quartet. This entire musical department has, in addi- tion to its weekly rehearsals, presented its annual Christmas Vcsper Concert and Spring Concert. All groups participated in the McHenry County Music Festival held here at Woodstock on March 5, 1956.

Mr. Richard Gaarder Director Boards and presented several Christmas radio broadcasts at Waukegan. Last year the madrigal group won first at the district competition held at Antioch, Illinois, and at the state contest in Macomb, a city the choir visited on their 1955 tour. The administration and board of education of lV.C.H.S., feeling that there are many edu- cational advantages in making it possible for the group to visit schools in other areas, have for the last three years underwritten part of the expense of the annual concert tour. In 1954, the choir traveled up north to Green Bay, Wisconsin, and in 1955, down south as far as Macomb, Illinois. To Brainard, Minnesota, or bustv was the 1956 slogan. The annual choir tour is the peak of the year in singing and is looked forward to with thoughts of fun and harmonious perfection. HOIR ow 1: G. Guritz, T. Laycock, M. Lindvall, J. Emery, J.

Thespian Christmas Play: Land of the Dragon, with Lee Shaw, Len Piotter and Marv Marzahl. The Thespian Society is an educational or- ganization for the purpose of creating a dra- matic awareness throughout the school. This is done by the presentation of skits, readings, and plays before the student body. The Thes- pians also promote the two plays of the year and do a great deal of work on the produc- tion. This year the Thespians produced a Christ- mas play, The Land Of The Dragon by Char- lotte Chorpenning. As it is a very exciting children,s play, the group took it on tour to the elementary schools in the county. The play, under the splendid direction of Mr. Mallary, Thespian advisor, was a great suc- cess with all the kids and a lot of fun and good expience for the Thespians. enior Cfaoo Way For their Senior Class Play, the class of 355 did One Foot In Heaven, dramatized by Anne Coulter Martins. It is the story of a clergyman who, with his fellow churchmen, is trying to build faith and understanding in God and ourselves. It is also the story of the difficult job the clergy is doing throughout our country-its seriousness-its great im- portance-and also its many humorous sit- uations. In all phases of the play, backstage or on- stage, the Seniors really did themselves proudv! The cast, production crews, and the superb direction of Mr. Mallary made this play one of the best in a long time. THESPIAN Row 1: M. Marzahl, K. Tammeus, B. Moricoli, L. Shaw. Row 2: M. Drummond, N.

Ten little Indian boys Going out to dine One choked his little self And then there were nine . . . Remember your childhood days and the nursery rhyme called the Ten Little In- diansn? VVoodstock Community High School presented, as its annual all school play on October 27 and 29, a gripping mystery with that very name. The perfectly formed leaves of an oak tree start life as a tiny seed. Thus, does our all school play prepare for its birth with weeks of rewarding rehearsals. As an oak leaf blends its color with the background, so did the players blend their abilities to produce one of the II10St intriguing and moving mysteries weive ever seen. The play, written by Agatha Christie, took place on an island off the coast of Devon, England, where eight assorted guests and two servants have been invited for the week-end by a mysterious host, whom none of them had ever met. In the host's home, sitting on the mantle, are ten Indian statuettes. During the play all of the guests are accused of murder and, as each is questioned, an Indian falls from the shelf and breaks. Following each broken stat- uette is a mysterious murder, until only two guests are left, one of which is the supposed murderer. The climax was full of suspense. A play we will remember for years to come, thanks to the line direction of Mr. Mallary, our superb drama coach. ,df 5zr.,.,f Ffa, Mr. Robert Mallary Director At All-School Play in October, Micki Gallagher paints Nan McHale and Mrs. Mallary takes over Bill Reynold's lovely beard, while Bev McDowell, in front, watches all.

Here, personalities are as different as they make them, because every girl is automatically a member. The chief aims of these mademoiselles are friendliness, equality, understanding, and jus- tice. To help each freshman girl live by these principles, they are given a senior sister before entering high school. The Girls, League is hep on parties and get- togethers, too. The seniors throw a welcoming party for the freshmen, so they may become better acquainted, and during the holiday season they have a Christmas party. The Sa- die Hawkins dance has always been a big affair. Here, the girls pull a switch and ask the boys. This year the dance had a come as you wish you werea' theme, where students appeared wearing anything from barrels to crepe paper. The poll for king is taken for the dance by the girls, for only they can vote. King of Dogpatch Corner this year was Jon Wittenberg, who was crowned by Janet Locke, president of Girls' League. In the spring the entire Girls' League works diligently to make the annual Mothers' Tea the lovely and delightful pageant it has al- ways been. Surrounded by her court attend- ants, the May queen is crowned against a background of roses and lilacs. To finish a most perfect year, the freshmen give a farewell party for their big sisters and bid them goodbye before they graduate. .S?l,U'C!y MGHC 25 .-'X strong branch in our tree of activities is the Student Council. for in their purpose in school affairs they have done exceptionally well.

Euifdera The Future Homemakers of America is an or- ganization devoted to the development of good homemaking practices. The purpose is to pro- mote the good will and leadership so essential to a good home, a good community, and a peace- ful country and world. The girls do a great deal of service for others. For Thanksgiving they give fruit baskets to the Children's Home and the Old Folks, Home and then at Christmas they carol these two places as well as other shut-ins. The members send letters and packages to pen-pals overseas, thereby learn- ing how others live and helping them at the same time. Each year the girls enter a Homecoming fioat in the parade. They send their ollicers to Chicago for training each fall, and representatives always go to the spring rally at Evanston. This year was our F.H.A.'s fourth birthday. VVe of lV.C.H.S. think that this organization has really advanced in this short time. In the spring, the F.H.A. girls give a Ma, Pa and Me Banquet that always is a succew.

QOWQPJ The Future Farmers of America is a nation- wide organization based on the principles of leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. Any boy taking an agricultural course in high school may belong. The F had 40 active members this year and their parents are invited to attend their for- mal initiation. Included in the F.F.A. are: indi- vidual farm programs, educational trips, ban- quets, and participation in sectional contests as student judges. The F .F.A. has social activities too, for example, every year the F.F.A. and the F.H.A. have a get-to-gether which always proves to be full of gaiety and surprises. A booklet was drawn up with the able help of their advisor, Mr. Forgey, and entered in the State Chapter Activity Program. This handsome manuscript tells everything about the 1955-56 Hfoodstock F.F.A. Chapter, including their du- ties, honors, and obligations as a member. On F .F .A.

This is an excel- lent opportunity to build towards a goal as a tradesman. It is made up of three organizations: General Building Trades, General Service Trades, and Building Trades Council. The B.T. Council is composed of the leaders of the other two organizations. B.T.'s is very helpful around the school. If there's something to be made or repaired, just call on Mr. Ray and his boys. They have already proven themselves as fine craftsmen by building the concession stand for the football field. Each year, the boys take many field trips, one of which takes them to the famous Milwau- kee Vocational School. On these trips they learn many worthwhile things that will help them in their hobby groups. These boys don't stop at work alone, but have an intramural basketball team. All in all, a most worthwhile organization. B. T. COUNCIL Seated: T. Sorenson,,W. Woellert, T. Moricoli, Advisor Mr. Ray. Standing: R. Hunt, J. Mason, R. Lock, E. Limbaugh, J. Eddy, R. Stieg.

Q . . fe lfll' en Our athletic program is really another branch of our tree, perhaps it represents the strongest branch to so many, that it is the very core of their lives. Our football, baseball, basketball, and track teams, although not always in the winning column, still rank high in sportsmanship, loyalty, and unbeatable spirit. The intramural program at noon-time gives the students an excellent opportunity for participation and the G.A.A. has a well-rounded program for girls. Through these organiza- tions the students learn cooperation, coordination, and good sportsmanship, form lasting friendships, and learn an invaluable lesson in persevering-for they must be as stout and unbendable as the heart of an oak.

One of the most highly respected and thought of organizations at W.C.H.S. is with- out a doubt the Girls' Athletic Association. Under the enthusiastic guidance of the ad- visor, Miss Viiitherell, the l'Voodstock G.A.A. has climbed to new heights and is regarded as one of the best organizations in Illinois. The G.A.A. board, elected the preceding year by the members, helps promote friend- ship, develop good sportsmanship and a sound knowledge of girls' sports. At Christmas and Easter the locker room comes alive with huge cutout figures, posters, and crepe paper, put up by the board, who plan all the decorations to promote seasonal spirit. At the beginning of the school year, the board goes over the submitted petitions of candidates for sports, managers and selects those they feel are best qualified for the job. Any committee chair- man and other positions are selected by the board, with the help of files that are kept of each girl and her accomplishments in G.A.1X. The board does a great deal in holding up the reputation and high quality of the organiza- tion. Miss Nina Witherell Advisor The members may participate in a wide and varied program of sports, which are hockey, hiking, bowling, synchronized swim- ming, basketball, volleyball, baseball, archery, table tennis, biking, and tumbling. To win the first of the four major awards, a girl must complete six sport seasons. To encourage the new member meeting four sport season re- quirements, an oblong gold service bar is given. The four major awards for completing six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four sport seasons are, in order: numerals, a HVVH letter, an ln letter, and a state silhouette with G.A.A. imprinted across the front.

The rustling of branches in a storm describes the flashing spirit of our WV.C.H.S. Cheerleaders. They never seem to sit still. Their peppy cheers and clever precision work make them a delight to watch, as well as a spirit booster. At every game and pep meeting you can see our Cheerleaders drive our team on to victory. For the first time at VVoodstock, the student body elected two squads of cheerleaders, includ- ing Hve Varsity members and four Junior Varsity members. These two squads meet once a week, and more if necessary, to practice old cheers and create new ones. The cheerleaders entered a float in the Home- coming parade and won second place. Their fioat consisted of four playing cards and the following theme: The Cards 4-Tell-It's the Cats Who F ellf' This was the third year straight that they won a prize. During the year they go to several cheerlead- ing clinics, where about ten schools are repre- sented, to learn different cheering techniques and styles. Last year they also put on a skit for the assem- bly during the county tournament. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS J. V.

The purpose of this club is to honor outstand- ing athletic ability, to produce an attitude of friendlines, and to create school spirit among the boys. The main project of the club is to organize the Homecoming weekend. This fresh fall event be- gins with a spirit-stirring pep rally before a huge bonfire, after which the annual Snake Dance finds its way through the streets of Woodstock to the square where more cheers are given. Then all Woodstock turns out to see the Homecoming parade, an attraction to behold! The Homecom- ing game is taken care of by the Streaks, of course! Last of all, is the Homecoming dance with all its glory. The president of the Varsity Club crowns the fall queen. Besides the Homecoming weekend, these busy boys, under the guidance of Mr. Roskie, present an All Sports Banquet. At this dinner awards are given to all the boys who earned special honors.

Duc to the lack of interest in the school for cross country, there weren't very many boys who turned out for it. Much credit should be given to these boys: Bud Lagerhausen, a sen- ior who was the top scorer, Leonard Piotter, also a senior who incidently is a very good dash man, Perry johnson and Al Mueller, were the juniors who picked up some of the points in the meets. All of these are the letter winners. These boys gave everything they had. If more boys will turn out for cross country next year, we are sure that their weight will be felt in the Conference. The appearance of Perry Johnson and Al Mueller next year will be very much appreciated. Let's really go next year! 89 VARSITY BASEBALL Row 1: W. Woellert, R. Musser. Row 2: J. Hooper, R. Brown, R.

The 1955 baseball season proved to be an al- most five hundred season for the Streaks. We won four and lost seven in conference 'play, and managed to finish the season with a seven and nine record. This includes three games which were not recorded. One of these games was con- ference and the other two were not. One of the three games not recorded, was with Crystal Lake. It was counted as a conference game and a tournament game. There were six returning let- termen from last year. Coach Tony Roskie built his team around these six men. The Streaks lost three games by one run, one of these in confer- ence play and the other two in non-conference tilts. Bob Pooler, Gene Martine, and Laverne Shook did the chuckin for the Streaks. Bob Young and Ron Brown were the two leading bat- ters, each with an average of 333. Rog Musser was right behind with .310 and Gene Martine was next with 300. This year there are four returning lettermen, Rog Musser, Bill Woellert, Bob Pooler, and Gary Laing. The team's field- ing average was .891 and the team's batting average was 255. This may seem rather funny, but the Streaks scored seventy-two runs against the opponents, sixty-four, and still ended with the same record. 90 VARSITY CONFERENCE SCORES CONFERENCE NON-CONFERENCE :Xpril 5-Wloodstock 13 ..............

The Frosh-Soph team, also known as the Junior Varsity, under the coaching of Mr. Bohrer, finished the 1955 season with nine wins and three losses, which equalled a percentage of .75O. Lanny Brasile led the team in batting with an average of .438. The J.V.'s had an earned-run average of 40, against the opponents' 16. Bill Sweet, John Hanley, Lanny Brasile, Gene Burmeister, and Jim Mason did the pitching for the young Streaks. The Frosh-Soph scored 101 runs to the opponents' 53. Mr. Bohrer awarded fifteen letters to his team. The young Streaks had 86 hits to the opponents, 65, they also had 71 R. B.I.,s to the opponents, 34. With all this good material and what's left from this year's Varsity team, Coach Roskie ought to have a championship ball club next year. FROSH-SOPH GAME SCORES W.C.H.S. Libertyville W.C.H.S.

Again the North Suburban Conference had a mixed up season, dominated by our arch rival, Crystal Lake. Although we didnit have as suc- cessful a season as we would have liked it to be the coaches found that our fellows had shown a lot of spirit and hadn't given up the ghost. With the fine material returning next year from the Varsity, plus a better than average J.V., we should make ourselves felt in the conference next year. We won our first game of the season at F McHenry, a pre-season favorite, by a score of 26-13. And with a good passing attack we ended the season by whipping the Xvarren Blue Devils 6-0. Our dependable senior fullback, Jon Witten- bcrg, was elected by his teammates for Most Valuable Player Award? Big Tom Sorenson, the best tackle in the Conference, in our opinion, was named to the All-Conference Second Team. With the school behind them, next year's team ought to win their share.

CHARLES 24 WOODSTOCK 0 SEPT. 16 Our debut in the 1955-56 season was dampened not only by the weather, but also by the fact that St. Charles had quite an edge on the scoring depart- ment. They also had a much larger and faster team. Our team was most inexperienced, going into this game. We had only one regular playing. We never seemed to be able to get up any steam. St. Charles' running and passing game was too superior for our defense. Even though we did.n't threaten at any time, our spirits were not low. HERE LAKE FOREST 39 WOODSTOCK 6 SEPT. 23 Again we ran into a little trouble. Our pass defense was extremely poor. Lake Forest succeeded in pummeling great chunks of yardage due to their fine passing. To show that we were still in the ball game, Roger Musser, our quarterback, sped around end and romped 60 yards for almost a touchdown, in the third quarter. He dropped the ball on the way down to the goal. He made up his little mistake by scoring the only touchdown we made in the game in the fourth quarter. THERE MCHENRY 13 WOODSTOCK 26 SEPT. 30 By this time we were getting rather victory hungry. McHenry scored first, but our fleet little Q.B. ran back their kickoff after thouchdown for a T.D. We must give credit to superb blocking on the part of ten other men. Mc- Henry fought back and scored again. At the half, the score was 13-7. Again Roger Musser ran the kickoff for a touchdown. Our fellows engineered a third T.D. as our fullback plunged over the goal line. To top off a perfect night, one of our Jr. halfbacks went over for the fourth and final T.D. THERE ZION-BENTON 26 WOODSTOCK 6 OCT. 8 On October 8, the Streaks met Zion-Benton on their Held. Fresh from a victory at McHenry, we were eager to extend the winning streak. The boys fought gamely and only allowed one T.D. in the first half. In the third quarter we passed our way down to within scoring distance, only to lose the ball. Our only score was a long pass to Marlon Gray in the end zone in the fourth quarter. Cheering section during Mason going for a long McHenry is stopped J .

WOODSTOCK 2 - LIBERTYVILLE 12 OCTOBER 14 As the time rolled by, there seemed to gather in the air, a tension that could only be explained by the fact that the exciting Homecoming week was approaching. Finally, when game time came, the tension broke. The weather was good except for an extremely cold drizzle. The Libertyville Cats scored in the first and third quarters. After a long drive goalward, we lost the ball. Libertyville was forced to punt and as a result we picked up a safety. It was another one of those nights when the boys couldn't get rolling. WOODSTOCK 6 -- BARRINGTON 38 OCTOBER 22 Barrington's jinx proved too much for us again. We fought gamely for three quarters with no avail. Finally in the fourth quarter, our junior full- back, Dick Gehrke, broke through the line and romped his way to the goal. The only time we threatened was during the second quarter when we pushed our way down to the twenty yard line, only to fumble. Up to now we seemed to be plagued by bad breaks and when the good breaks came, we didn't seem to be able to take advantage of them. WOODSTOCK 0 - CRYSTAL LAKE 18 OCTOBER 28 This game was considered to be the best game we played this season even if the score didn't indicate it. The highly tooted Bengels weren't even allowed close to the goal line for the entire first half. Everybody seemed to be playing a terrific game, almost over our heads. In the first quarter we went all the way down to the eight yard line-only to be held on downs. Here was one of those good breaks mentioned previously, 'that we weren't able to take advantage of. All three of the Bengels touchdowns were due to extremely bad breaks for us. WOODSTOCK 6 - WARREN 0 NOVEMBER 4 This was the game to win as far as the seniors were concerned because it was their last of the season. And to bear that out we let loose with a better than average passing game, which proved to be too much for the team who beat us 39-0 last season. Oddly enough, good passing was the factor that de- feated us last year. A pass from Roger Musser to one of our halfbacks was the source of our winning touchdown.

The line was heavier than average and they had a group of backs that almost any coach would be glad to have on their team. The jayvees, as a unit, had a highly suc- cesful season with six wins to one loss. To add to their record we may add that they were only scored on twice while they ran an impresive total of 122 points against the opponents. YVe must give credit to a fine coach, Mr. Swartout. There was one Frosh-soph game during the season that actually isnit part of the V. record, but we will have to mention it.

But with the appearance of some of the backs, a11d some of the biggest linemen we've seen on fresh- man teams lately, they certainly should avenge their bad luck when on the varsity. The highlight of the season was theirrout of Warren Twp. where they blasted the Young Devils for a score of 30 to 6. Woodstock Woodstock Woodstock. . . . . . Woodstock. . . . . .

They started out strong in conference play, winning 4 and losing 1, then after a midseason lag of 4 losses in a row, the streaks won 3 out of their next 5 confer- ence games for a line 7 won 7 loss rec- ord. And 4-th place in the conference was theirs. The Streaks were upset in the annual county tournament held in Woodstock, by a hustling Harvard crew, in a double overtime. In the DeKalb Holiday Tour- nament the Streaks were beaten by W. Aurora in a close game. And in the other tournament, the Regional held in Crys- tal Lake, the Streaks were beaten by St. Edwards. One of the high-lights of the season, however, was the thrilling upset over the highly favored St. Edwards team. After a slow first quarter, the Streaks took the lead, and held it at half time. At the end 5 Y Shot by Marlon Gray is blocked as Ray Stork and Jerry Anderson stand by for rebound in hotly contested McHenry game. of the third quarter they were ahead by 2 points.

Coach Swartout's boys, after a good start, ran into a little rough luck and, like the varsity, they had sort of a mid-season lag. However, they ended thc season in pretty good fashion, by beating the highly rated McHenry crew, and giving our old rivals from Crystal Lake a good scare. The starting five were alternated quite rt bit throughout the campaign. Lanny Brasilc, high scorer, Merle Young, Bob Webster, Bob Kiel, Roger Kortemeier, Jim Mason, and Ross Young did most of the playing. n SOPHOMORE SCORES Woodstock . . . 18 Arlington Heights . . . .47 Woodstock 42 Harvard ....
