We will sing and shout to be the graduates of E. L. H. S. We all hope we'll meet again, Matters not how far we roam, Now our school days soon are over, School has been our second home. Eigltlfwrz As we bid each one farewell, Classmates who have grown so dear Fond memories still dwell, Ol many hours spent here, ln which we all helped each other to obtain our education. Now the world before us lies, There is much for us to do, We know we shall be successful, As we start our life anew.

Graduation, at last! We seniors have reached our goal. Behind us lie four years of hard work and constant effort, ahead, lies the world and a place where each one of us may play his part. Looking back over the past few years of our lives, we realize just how important they have been in forming a back- ground for the future. Each year, though relatively unim- portant in itself, has contributed, in some small way, toward making our high school career complete. Our Freshman year was a prerequisite for the oncoming years of hard work. The upper classmen never failed to make us remember our rather lowly and undignified status, but in spite of the fact, we struggled ahead. During the year we sold Christmas cards and sponsored a Lyceum program. The annual Sophomore treat, a doggie roast, served to make us feel more at home with our schoolmates. As Sophomores, we were kept quite busy selling candy at basketball games, greetings at Christmastime, and re- freshments on May Day. This year we began to shoulder new responsibilities and to acquire the dignity becoming to second year students. Many new tasks and interests became ours in the Iunior year. Our studies required a great deal of time now, but in spite of the fact, we were able to take several interesting trips-one to the newspaper building, and the other to the museum at Franklin and Marshall College. This year we fattened our exchequer by selling potato chips and staging our first play. Pigtails won for our class the reputation for outstanding dramatic ability. We not only proved our superior intelligence when we won the Quiz Kids stakes in assembly, but also added five dollars to our treasury. At last the big year arrived and with it a new principal and several new teachers. We again excelled dramatically when we presented Montgomerys Anne of Green Gables to capacity audiences fin spite of Miss Laird's pessimisml. Our yearbook kept us overwhelmingly busy for two entire months, but we felt the time was not wasted for it is a true product of what we really can accomplish once we set our minds to work. Our senior trip was a fitting climax and a timely relaxation from all our labors. And now as we await our coveted diplomas and final farewells, we realize that our years in dear old E. L. H. S. have been much too short. We leave these beloved portals with a sigh of regret, but with a smile of satisfaction that our work has been well done. ALMA MARTIN '42 T ll'L'II I y
