Alexander. Progress marked Woodward ' s Hi-Y Fellowship during the 1955-56 school year. 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

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.
