LEWIS, Headmaster A yearbook should be dedicated to a person of whom the editors and student body are proud. That ' s why we the Seniors of 1956, are honored to dedicate the Log to the man who has done so much to enrich our high school days, Headmaster Walter R. Lewis. Down here, you see, we ' re proud of Mr. Lewis. We ' re proud of his qualities of leadership and of the way he ' s helped Woodward become a better school. We ' re proud to be learning under a man whose door is open to any student at any time, whose sole interest is to enlighten us by his experiences along the road of education. We, and our predecessors, have been proud of Mr. Lewis for a long time — since 1944, in fact. That was the year he came to Woodward as an English professor. Four years later he was a member of the ad- ministration as assistant headmaster. In December, 1950 there was a new legend on the office door. It said Walter R. Lewis-Headmaster. Before coming to Woodward, Mr. Lewis held various positions — teacher, newspaper man, and editor. But we ' re concerned only with his stint on G. Street. It ' s been a good span for Woodward students. We are grateful to him for the invaluable aid he has rendered us over the years. To Walter R. Lewis, Headmaster and friend, our 1956 Log is humbly dedicated. he Senior CtaJJ of 1956 fJ l rJ6 « i ' 3 ' nstnaKop! H m- «•- a « i ' . Walter r. lewis HEADMASTER Our 1955-56 administration was high in quality, if not in quantity. Due to early-term transfers of Educational Director Joseph S. Rook and Assistant Headmaster Ronald B. Morgan, Headmaster Walter R. Lewis was called upon to shoulder the full burden of adminstrative duties. Like any good captain, Mr. Lewis responded with enthusiasm and hard work. And, proving that a ship is only as strong as its rudder, Woodward School experienced one of the best terms of its 36-year history. Already up to his ears in work, Mr. Lewis encountered another obstacle to paper-work progress in December when the site of his office was abruptly switched 10 yards or so down the hall. He survived the change in brilliant style, rapidly increasing his swift pace in his new private office. Helping Mr. Lewis to keep the school on an even keel was our energetic and capable secretary, Mrs. Marion Metka. We, the Senior Class of 1956, have every reason to be proud of our Alma Mater ' s talented and hard working administration. 11 3 - ' ' I Mr. E. E.

Seekins Pellegrini President of the Senior Class, President of the Skipper ' s Club, Lettermen ' s Club, Associate Editor of the Log, National Honor Society, Glee Club, Football. Popular man on the G. Street campus , John is a man of myriad talents and interests, and has a linger in more pies than Betty Crocker. A member of the Board of Sibley Hospital for six hours daily, John still finds time for such enthusiasms as football, Ogden Nash, Wisconsin, Gilbert and Sullivan, the Bayou, Wisconsin, Louis Armstrong, Mr. Stone and Wisconsin. A fine personality and a cooperative leader, (in spite of a reputation for hassling), John expeas to dabble in politics after he is established as an engineer. Bruce M. Alexander Bruce Vice-President of the Senior Class, Skipper ' s Club, Hi-Y Fellowship, Log Staff, Glee Club, Football, Baseball. Clean-cut, able Bruce is a leader, a sportsman and an erudite student. Individualist Bruce is famed for unfailing stands against everything in arguments, but when he expresses himself, it is because of sincere convictions on the subjects. Aside from academic achievement, Bruce has also distinguished himself on the gridiron where he has been one of the mainstays of Woodward ' s football team. Bruce ' s chosen profession is that of chemical engineer and the success that he has achieved at Woodward is an augury of the success that he will attain in the future. David F. Camp Secretary ' of the Serfior Class, Vice-President of the HI-Y Fellowship, Glee Club, Lettermen ' s Club, Service Club, Football, Basketball, Baseball. A long-time imbiber of Woodward knowledge is Dave, our all-around boy. Athlete, scholar — these nouns describe D. Camp. Kind ( when it comes to helping sweet young things), friendly (when his pocket is unloaded), good-natured (when vacation time approaches) — these adjectives likewise are accurate ones for our hero. In addition, he manages to find time to explore all of our natural resources for additions to his bug collection. Future plans.- ' Dave may become a bug-ologist. Or, how about a star basketball player (if only Mr. Zook would recognize Dave ' s hidden but present talent;. 14 John K. Zoeller Treasurer of the Senior Class, Lettermen ' s Club, Basketball, Baseball. Congenial, lanky, nonconformist John sporadically rides such hobby horses as purposeful absenteeism and non-note-taking in P. O. D. an outstanding basketball player for Woodward, John received All Prep Honorable Mention during the 1954 basketball season and is a member of the 1956 All Prep Team. A self-styled future millionaire, John ' s more immediate projected future includes Army service and college at Western Maryland. The charter members of the Second Floor Smoking and Bull-shooting Club will miss John ' s infectious humor and renowned collection of words of wisdom. Sydney A. Abel ' ■Syd Basketball, Baseball, Log Staff, Glee Club, Skipper ' s Club. Good old Syd, Woodward ' s champion guesser, according to Mr. Stone, doesn ' t have to guess when figuring his number of friends at Woodward — he ' s got plenty of ' em. A member of the lunchtime Coffee Shop clique (which, by the way, is often joined by the astonishing Professor Stone), Syd exercises his great talent in speculation upon the identity of Bob Mangels ' latest. (In this exchange, the scope of Mangels ' operations defeats Abel ' s perception; the form just has too many chicks for Syd. J George M. Baldwin Stub Football, Lettermen ' s Club. Popular, amiable, easy-going George is good nature personified. A man of many talents, Stub does everything with poise and aplomb and the least possible effort. A consciously unconscious humbrist he gives fulsome and erudite (and repetitious) talks on the feeding and care of coons. George intends to see spaces and places and then to run for political office. 15 Wallace L. Bond Good-natured Wally, called by some Bottled in Bond, is the Good Samaritan of 1736 G. The kid looks tough, but he ' s got a heart of almost pure gold; there ' s little he would ' t do for a friend. And Wally has plenty of ' em. It ' s impossible not to like Wallace. You have to admire him, too, for his academic efforts. Wally does a great scholastic job with a rough course. This may be maudlin sentiment, but fellows like W. Bond make Woodward a more pleasant place in which to learn. I J Richard M. Curtin Dick A hard working student, as well as a mischievous one, Dick is well on his way. Despite his sardonic brand of humour he has achieved a place high on the Woodward popularity list. One thing about Dick, he never allows himself to lose that Sweet ( .- ' ) disposition. He will go far in his chosen field. Joseph L. Ciampa, Jr. Sonny Worked in Office, Hi-Y Fellowship. Quiet, amiable Joe gives generously of his time at Woodward, in such widely separated activities as helping in the administrative office and securing giant-sized headgear for giant-sized heads on the football team. A future as a wealthy and conservative railroad magnate is inevitable for Joe. Already a Republican and a builder of model cars and model railroads, he plans to prepare for his career by studying business administration, after completing his course at Woodward. 16 Richard A. Ellis Rkk ' ' Skipper ' s Club, Log Staff, Glee Club, Rifle Club. J.V. Basketball. Friendly, loyal Rick is a school spirited Woodwardite who collects records as a hobby, both the rifle shooting and the musical varieties. An Eisenhower Republican and a man who knows where he ' s going, Rick plans a business career after completing studies in the fields of public relations and advertising at the University of Connecticut. Harlan G. Fisk Harley Quiet, handsome, afiFable Harley is a young man with autos and things automotive on the brain. He is a good sport and devoted to the sport of auto racing. Harley ' s enthusiasm for instrumental music is reflected in his well developed talent for the .guitar and the banjo. Howevei, he is most famous for his bristly hair, his penchant for Spillane, his enthusiasm for Fords, and his ghostly disappea rances from Woodward. Four years from now, Harley expects to step out into the world as an automotive engineer with his college ambitions fulfilled at the General Motors Institute. No one can more rightfully claim a sheepskin on graduation day, for Harley ' s scholastic endeavors are always of the highest order. Charles G. Frey Garry Baseball. Good-looking, gray-eyed Garry is one of those quiet, unassuming young men who go about their duties efficiently and without much fuss. He is a living example of the old proverb, Still waters run deep. Garry is a compendium of literary knowledge. Gifted musically, he has impressed everyone with his talent for the piano, the saxophone, the accordion and the drums. Already experienced in military service as a member of the Reserves, Garry expects to attend college at Stetson after service in the Navy. 17 Richard S. Heller Dick Triangle, Year Book, Scholastics sports Association. Dick, Woodward ' s Man with the Pen, is a fellow who ' s planned his future: he ' s going to become the next Grantland you-know-who. Already Managing Editor and ace reporter of The Washington Daily News ' Scholastic Sports Association, Dick puts in plenty of time writing his fine articles. His best fans ' ' That ' s a cinch; his ' Woodward schoolmates. It ' s been rumored that Dick has a helicopter to take him from the Y roof to that of The News. Despite his extensive newspaper duties, Dick still manages to be one of Woodward ' s better and more popular students. Richard W. Hill Speedo Glee Club, Bowling Club. Generous, determined, Dick seasons his interest in sports with an intellectual flavor, having a fine collection of books on sports and sporting records. Possessed of a large portion of fortitude, Dick is a man who is bound to make himself heard, not only in the stentorian tones which reverberate through Woodward ' s halls, but also in successes in that college in Ohio which he plans to attend after graduation. Sanford W. Horstman, Jr. Tony President of the Honor Society, Skipper ' s Club. Editor of the Log, Hi-Y Fellowship, Glee Club. Likeable, intelligent, imperturbable Tony is a man whose good humor and charm of manner are only equalled by his sincerity and his singularly even temper. No one knows better than Tony the value of the kind word and pleasant smile. Under all this suavity of manner there lies a singularly forceful character and a will and purpose that sees its objective and then, with Teutonic thoroughness, sets out to achieve it. Tony has swung a mean ski on the mountains, has hurled projectiles into the skies, and after only two years, has left a distinct impression of his high aims and engaging personality on Woodward. 18 J % Stephan S. Kaufman Steve Service Club. Fun-loving Steve has the most disarming smile at Woodward, a Characteristic which will be of great service to him in his chosen field of insurance. Jovial and clever of wit, Steve has brightened many a dull session with his whimsical nonsensicalities. His adventures in his Freshman year with many of his classmates have never been equalled and never will be. There is no one in the class of ' 56 who surpasses Steve in generosity and good-fellow-ship; and he is a man with a will and an ability to succeed. Thomas H. Lyons Tom Hi-Y Fellowship, Service Club. Vital, energetic Tom is a man who has planned a long-range but precise future which includes chemical engineering and a walk down an aisle four years from June 15, 1956. In the chemistry lab, Tom keenly enjoys the experiments from the front row. With a light-hearted philosophy Tom has survived the down-to-earth realities of National Guard Service, and now he is ready to experiment with the explosive possibilities of college and married life. Michael W. Mooney Mickey Basketball. Pleasant, unassuming Mickey has a well-rounded personality, which reflects his philosophy of life, live and let live. His late arrival at school had no connection with his home address, Occoquan, Va., and Woodward was mighty glad he came. Still a late arriver at chemistry classes, he holds the class spellbound with his test tube mixtures. A real spell-binder in his performances on the basketball court and in bull sessions, well-informed Mickey will continue to develop his talents in college. IT- ' ■il ' ' 19 Charles M. Murphy Pops Quiet, amiable Pops is a man who spends several hours every afternoon trying to memorize the I.B.M. slogan, Thimk! after leaving school and Mr. Stone in a state of silent awe at the workings of his keen analytical mind. In addition to the more mundane tribulations of his school-work-worry program. Pops ' life has been further troubled by the rumor that he is, in reality, Mr. Seekins ' father. After completing his planned course of studies at George Washington University hard-working, ambitious Pops, with his winning personality, is certain of success in his chosen field. Michael L. Murdock Mike • . C - w iA Lettermen ' s Club, Hi-Y Fellowship, Basketball. Pleasant, personable Mike is a fine student whom Woodward has had to share with St. Alban ' s. Woodward was temporarily deprived, not only of an ace dancer and swimmer, but of as fine a collection of garments for gentlemen, as ever were paraded forth from a single closet. A June graduate, happy-go-lucky Mike has a head start on his classmates. After completing his studies at the University of North Carolina, socially talented, gregarious Mike is destined to have the most meteoric career, in advertising since George Washington Hill and Luckies. Marcus E. Penn Mark This is Woodward ' s mystery man, Mr. X. In the traditional mold, he ' s dark, if not particularly tall and handsome. Penn ' s singular claim to immortality is this: how can he make himself so conspicuous by merely sitting still all day. ' Though Mark is hardly one of Woodward ' s more dynamic persons, his cute little mannerisms are familiar to fellow students (who adore them) and teachers (who don ' t) alike. But we are sure Mark will make his mark in the world. • fe 20 Richard P. Preston Dick Editor of the Triangle. Skippers Club, Lettermen ' s Club. Glee Club. Hi- Y Fellowship, Basketball, Baseball. A true southern gentleman, Dick has real stature as a baseball player. Manager of the Woodward Basketball and Football teams, Dick regretfully turned down a tryout with the Baltimore Orioles, being too busy with such activities as escorting dowagers down the carpeted aisles of Constitution Hall and running a still in the chemistry lab. In the fall Dick will leave the not so old family plantation to study veterinary medicine at Iowa State College. Woodward will miss his generous and enthusiastic loyalty. L. Charles Rumsey Rumi Asst. First Aid Instructor. Fun-loving, racing-enthusiast Rums combines a proDensity for cynicism, with service to his community as a volunteer on the B. C. C. Rescue Squad with enthusiasm for things German. Rums hopes to be the proud owner of a new Volkswa.gon. And with a real flair for speaking, Rums has held his own at Woodward in bull sessions and in classroom discussion on all subiects, including his favorites, .irirls and cars. This gift of gab will undoubtedly help Rums to outstanding success in his career, the Navy. John N. Schauer Jack A veteran of the Korean conflict, prestidigitator Jack follows with unflagging interest a quartet of remarkable varied hobbies: hypnotism, photo.graphy, weight lifting and linguistic studies. Being able to hassle in Korean and Russian, as well as English, Jack is able to overpower the opposition, even without utilizing his hypnotic abilities. A pleasant and talented person, Jack expects to attend the University of New Mexico. 21 Wayne R. Starr Dick President of the Service Club, National Honor Society, Skipper ' s Club, Editor of the Log, ' 54, Log Staff, ' 55, Science Club, Glee Club, Chess Club, Secretary of the Chemistry Class, Hi-Y, Bowling Club, Football, Basketball. Poised, slim and trim Wayne is Woodward ' s answer to London ' s Bond Street. A man with a literary bent Dick ' s enthusiasms in the field include everything from the effusions of the Washington Daily News to the nature lyrics of Wordsworth. A philosophical thinker with a touch of genius, Wayne intends to pursue an analytical career after completing his studies at Harvard. Friendly, generous, omnipresent, man-about- ' Woodward, Wayne will be sorely missed. Richard M. West Dick Hi-Y Fellowship. If Dick isn ' t related to Gen. Robert E. Lee, he should be. Woodward ' s most vehement booster of The South Shall Rise Again Theory, Rebel West feels only two emotions in regard to territorial divides: love toward the South (defined as the land between Mason and Dixon ' s line to the South Pole) and hate toward the North (M-D line to the North Pole). Had Dick been born 100 years earlier, it is a certainty he would have had the Red Badge of SomethingT To emphasize his Confederate outlook on life, Dick ' s college dreams feature Miami U., . . . and you can ' t get much farther south than that without leaving the homeland. i Ldor Bacon has said that the greatest trust between man and man is the trust of giving counsel. No man has ever been more worthy of such trust, or received it with more faith and integrity than our beloved Advisor to the Senior Class, Mr. Lewis A. Stone. Without proper direction the best students become poor ones. In recognition of this fact, and with deepest gratitude, the students of the Senior Class would like to express their thanks to Mr. Stone for his wise and good-humored counsel; it has served as a direction of their actions at Woodward and will continue to serve as a guidance of their future destinies. 22 Senior Direct ireciofi ¥ Sydney A.

It was felt that these events should not be left behind, but that they deserve some mention in the annual account of the life and times at Woodward School. That this might be possible the editors have introduced this new section in hopes that glancing over these phrases a pleasant memory or two may be recalled. Here goes!

The Skipper ' s Club, our Stuclent Council, is Woodward ' s proudest organization. An organization of leaders, the Skipper ' s Club includes as members the elected presidents of Woodward ' s other clubs. Privileged to assist the Headmaster and the Faculty in matters of administration and discipline, the members of the Skipper ' s Club are pledged in loyalty to promote the general welfare of their school. The aims of Woodward ' s Student Council are clearly and aptly expressed in the words of the member- ship oath: Proud of our American heritage, recognizing the importance of self-discipline in a democracy, we shall aim to serve as citizens worthy of our responsibility and to work for the greatest good of all the students of Woodward Prep School. 50 J i - L J fellowship Left to right: Sanford Horstman, David Camp, Dick Starr, Bruce Alexander, Dick Preston, Mr. Richey, Joe Cranipa, Dick West, Tom Lyons, Richard Cutter, Gordon Herndon, D.

Under the aggressive leadership of Bruce Alexander, our local branch of the National YMCA Fellow- ship increased membership to a new high of 20. In outside activities, too, the group has moved for- ward. Many charitable organizations were aided by Hi-Y contributions derived in part from a series of school dances sponsored by the members. It was only fitting that this progress should come during the administration of our hard-working president, who was serving his third separate term as prexy. In five years of Hi-Y duty, Bruce has been president three times and vice-president twice. Quite a record! Helping him considerably this time around were vice-presidents Dick West and David Camp, secre- tary Dave Alexander ( another product of that talented family ) , and Treasurer Gordon Herndon. The fellowship experienced a rapid turnover of faculty advisors early in the year, finally roping in Mr. E. E. Richey as a permanent help-mate. Also advancing with rapid strides was the Woodward Junior Hi-Y. which — like its older brother — stepped up the pace considerably. 51 cJ C unauuae auuai ( iub Left to right: Dick Cutter, Dick Bramley, Tom Zaraer, Mr. Wooldridge, Robert Luther, Hugh Nesbitt, Steve Verges, John Harn, Kim Stevens, Wayne Loekle, Don Judson, Joel Haste, John Shubiak. a tlonal J onor S ocieL Left to right: Bruce Alexander, Wayne R.

Log editor-in-chief Tony Horstman slammed a book shut and turned to an assistant. Well, ejaculated Tony thankfully, It ' s all over. It was this book, the 1955-56 Woodward yearbook. After months of toil, Horstman and his capable staff now reached the climax. The last write-up had been turned in, the last picture had been cro pped, the last proof had been checked. In other words, the job was finished. This was, in fact, quite a job — principally because the editors were determined to produce one of the finest yearbooks ever to come out of Woodward School. There are many ways to put together such a volume — a careful way, and a sloppy way. Horstman, with the backing of advisor Haynes and special consultant Lewis, decided to use the careful way. It meant hours of labor. Days were spent planning; nights, revising. Obstacles popped up along the road — We don ' t have enough room. . That will have to be rewritten. . We ' ll never Left to Tight: G. Herndon, Asst Editor; John Seekins, Syd Abel, Dick Ellis. make the Deadline. . Where are those senior write-ups. . Slowly, painstakingly, all hurdles were jumped and all rivers were forded. It was an agonizing process. March — the deadline; April — the deadline; May — the deadline. Then came the day. The day that Tony Horstman said, It ' s all over. But it wasn ' t all over. The editors didn ' t know if the student body would appreciate the job. Were, they asked one another, our efforts in Vain? Were they? The choice is up to you. Left to right: David Camp, Bruce Alexander, Wayne 53 Loekle, Mr. John Travis. he rianaie L iub 9 ' Lefl to right: D. Burnham, Dick Preston, J.

Despite a lack of facilities, quarters, and personnel, the Triangle continued operation in fine style during the past year. Under the guidance of Miss Roberts, the staff published an average of better than one issue per month. Especially improved was the sports coverage, handled for the most part by sophomore Ray Lupo. During mid-term, rumors were heard that a new printed edition of the Triangle was in the making. Much to the editors ' disappointment, nothing came of the whispers; the paper retained its standard mim- eographed form. Despite the numerous handicaps. The Triangle is playing an important role in Woodward life. 54 abte tennis iuo Members: A. Graeme, Tony Clarke, A. Roys, H. Nesbirt, John Harn, J. Anschuty, R. Lupo, K. Stevens, A.

When first organized, members only showed movies to the bimonthly assemblies. Now educational movies are shown almost every day to the extent that in an average week more than 15 movies are shown. This year besides movie projection and related duties such as the ordering of films and the filing of film catalogs, the members have operated the school P. A. (Public Address) system at assemblies and basketball games. They have arranged chairs for school programs, designed the scenery and created the lighting for the Lower School Christmas Play. The club is especially interested in those boys who can assume responsibility and follow instructions readily. Mechanical interest or experience in operating the various items of equipment is welcome. Those who are willing to serve and learn the duties without injury to their academic standing are also welcome members. However, club membership is limited to ten and is therefore competitive. The aim of the members has always been keynoted by the idea of service to the school. All the mem- bers participated actively this year; however, at least two desetve citing. President Wayne Starr for his untiring efforts in arranging movie schedules and in teaching new members how to operate such equip- ment as the movie projector, the slide projector, and the P. A. system. Steve Kaufman for the many hours he spent projecting educational movies to various classes. Members have shown more than 200 films this year to classes, clubs, and assemblies. Many services too numerable to mention have been p erformed for the faculty, student body, and administration. Truly, we have accomplished much this year. 56 f ' il ' ie ( lub Left to right: Mr. Lewis, Dick Ellis, David Burnham, David England, Thomas DeHart, James Keister.

Its three wins in seven games gave the better-than-average 1955 Woodward football squad its best record in four years. Not since 1952, when Coach Earl Zook ' s Red Devils posted a 3-2-1 mark, have the G street gridiron representatives boasted so encouraging a record. And, if you listen to mentor Zook, things should be even better in 1956. On his cjub ' s ' 55 successes, Zook waxed enthusiastic. The first day of practice, he said, there weren ' t more than 20 boys out on the field. But the number grew as We went along, and we developed a good team. At season ' s end we could have taken on any team in the area. The Coach praised, especially, the fire and determination among his players. They never gave up is the way Zook tabbed his eleven. This was pointed out by the fact that Woodward ' s three victories were all by slim totals — 6-0, over National Training School; 28-13, versus Chamberlain; and 26-19, against Frederick. Two Red Devils stood out all season — end Dave Alexander and fullback Mac Tignor. Both were given honorable mention on All-Prep teams picked by The Washington Daily News ' Scholastic Sports Association. 60 dSaskethail S auad 1 ' Standing: Mr. Zook, Dick Bramley, David Camp, John Zoeller, James Russell, Mac Tignor, Dick Preston, Mr. Travis.

The Red Devils quintet of 1955-1956 showed steady improvement, and with a few breaks on the road would have posted a very presentable season ' s record. Coach Earl B. Zook ' s men started slowly, then hit their stride by mid-season. Although the schedule was not the heaviest, as compared to other Prep schools, the Devils were kept busy meeting high ranking and rugged competition. Their most exciting game was the opener, which the Red Devils won, defeating their long-time rival — Columbian Prep. Co-Captains George Jalepes and John Zoeller held the team together with their consistent floor plays and timely scoring. Captain John Zoeller finished with a surge to lead the team with a 17-point per game average and a high point total of 265, which assured him a berth on three All-Prep squads. cnedule Woodward 42 DeMatha 59 Woodward 48 Quantico 41 Woodward 61 Kendall Prep 41 Woodward 41 St. Anthony ' s 62 Woodward 62 Capitol Page 36 Woodward 29 American Univ.

Last season the Woodward team, like their neighbors, the Washington Senators, lost a series of heart- breakers by a one-run margin. This season both the Red Devils and the Senators are banking on youth to make their presence strongly felt in their respective leagues. Woodward ' s infield will be sparked by the fine keystone combination of two lettermen, John Zoeller and David Alexander, and a newcomer, John Bushong. Coach Zook is proud of some up-and-coming stars. These include Dick Bramley, Tom DeHart, and Ray Lupo. However, the bulk of the team will be made up of neophyte aspirants drawn from the lower classes. These promising rookies and veterans will handle a light, but exceedingly tough schedule, including such opponents as: Woodward - Oxon Hili Woodward - N. T. S. Woodward - Suitland Woodward - Bullis Prep Woodward - Chamberlain Woodward - Priory The complete schedule was not available at the time the sports section went to press.

Beset by a lack of hopefuls, the kid Red Devils opened and closed their uncluttered season against St. Albans in January. Thereafter the squad spent its time scrimaging against the Varsity.
