At the special election on February 22, 1914, the ques- tion of whether or not to have an East Lynn High School -dis-- trict was voted upon, and it was carried by a large majority. On March 25, 1914, the school board, composed of the follow-- ing members, Charles Darrough, Prc sidentg Dr. Raymond Van Doren, Secretary, Elmer S. Leigh, John C. Clements, Charles Hall, William J. Martin and J. N. Harkness conducted their first meeting at 7:30 for the purpose of organizing and discuss- ing a new school building. On April 11, 1914, a second special election was held for the purpose of deciding Whether or not there should be a new school building. The sites considered were the following: The T. G. Luxton site which contained about four acres, and is located approximately where the Harkness house now stands, occupied by Mr. Von Behren and family, The Hall site, which is located in the northwestern part of East Lynn upon which the three Arthur Hall houses now stand, The third and the one chosen was the Leemon site-where the building itself now stands and where the former school house stood. The building Was completed and ready for use in the year 1915. The cost of the building was twenty-nine thousand dollars CS29,000D and the cost of the equipment was nine hun- dred and seventy dollars 139703. In the Summer of 1925 a new gymnasium was erected at the cost of fifteen thousand dollars fSB15,000J. In the fall of 1939 the Farm shops building was completed at a cost of four thousand dollars f34,000J. This consisted of a farm mechanics room a.nd three garages for school buses. The size of the high school district was five and one-half 15925 miles by seven Q71 miles, but it has ex- panded to the extent of fifty-two C525 sections at the present time. The first school term 11915-19165 had an enrollment of 7 boys and 16 girls. There were no graduates the first year. The first janitor was Charles Le Saux who served one year from 1915 to 19 ' 6.

Page Nine ,- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY , On August 31, 1936, twenty-four new freight cars in the form of twenty-four Freshmen were added to the E. L. H. S. LINE. Before starting on their long four years journey they picked up another car CLeslie Bushongl in the halls of East Lynn High School, thus making their number twenty-five. They were pulled through the freshman year by an 2 ble engine and advisor, Miss Harriet Lee, their engineer being Dale Hammerton, Fireman, Anne Leigh, Brakeman, Marie Severin- song Representative to the Council of the railroad line, Elea- nor Montross, and railroad news Reporter, Viola Gudeman. Chugging along at a low rate of speed, they tried to get accustomed to the rules and regulations of this new line, but quite frequently jumped the tracks. After two months of this they lostone car fVirginia Marshallb . During Christmas vacation, a box car tEddie Montrossl jumped the tracks and never returned to our Freshman train the rest of the year because of illness. In the first year of rough travel the Freshman line was quite active in several activities, such as baseball, basket ball, and speech. The next fall found 20 improved cars returning to the E. L. H. S. LINE to begin their Sophomore year, Bob McIntyre and Eleanor Montross, and Lawrence Cork having switched to W. T. H. S. and R. T.,H. S. freight lines. During our Sophomore year we travelled along at an increasing rate of speed with Mr. Alwin Von Behren as our engine and advisor, Mary Louise Lee was Engineer this time, Anne Leigh, Firemang Dale Hammerton, Brakeman. Betty Ripley, Representative to the Council of the railroad line, and Bernice Otto railroad news Reporter. When our sophomore journey was half .completed we lost a car, namely Junior Spurling, but replaced him with an- other, Don McConnell, from the A. T. H. S. railroad line. Again several students took an active part in various activities. September, 1938, eighteen jolly passengers purchased tickets for the journey through the Junior year. After the tickets had been collected by our conductor and principal, Mr. Von Behren, we discover-ml Grace Probasco and Steve Perry were not returning and Ellen Marie Allen was transferring to Milford High School. But we picked up a new passenger, Irene Frankum, who came here from Cissna Park High School. At a very fast rate of speed we traveled on with tha counsel and guidance of our advisor and engine, Mrs. Eleanor Page Ten Deal. We elected Lorraine Olson, Engineer, Betty Ripley, Fireman, Wayne Eckersley, Br:-ikemang Bernice Otto and Don McConnell representatives to the council of the railroad, and lola Hawthorne reporter. Dale Hammerton and Viola Gude- man were elected repesentativcs at large of the entire council of the railroad. On November 23, we presented our Junior play "A Ready Made Family" which was a great success. This year more passengers took part in various activities than in previ- ous years. Some of the boys received letters in athletics, name- ly Don McConnell and Dale Hamimerton. We ended our Junior year by giving the Seniors a very successful banquet. At the beginning of the fourth and last lap of our journey to the station of Commencement, 15 of our previous 18 returned to an improved train, the East Lynn Zephyr, for we were anxious to reach our goal. As the tickets were being collected this year another decrease of passengers was perceived. Iola Hawthorne and Irene Frankurn attended Milford High School and Mary Eliza- beth Moore, went to Harvey High at Harvey. Now being supposedly dignified Seniors, we held a meeting with our advisor and engine, Miss Bane to elect our leaders. Don McConnell was chosen Engineer, Betty Ripley, Fireman, Mary Lee, Brakemang Anne Leigh and Wayne Ecker- sley, Representatives to the Council of the Railroad, Lorraine Olson, Reporter, Dale Hammerton and Bernice Otto were chosen as Representatives at large of the entire Council of the Railroad. During this last part of our journey we lost a passenger, Emory Rassmussen, lessening our number to fourteen. Several passengers again took part in various activities and the Senior play "Crashing Society" was presented on March 29, with all passengers participating except Leslie Bushong who acted as stage manager, and Jean Johnson who was business manager. Those who have succeeded in traveling to the end of our journey and will receive diplomas as awards on May 29, are Leslie Bushong, Wayne Eckersley, Viola Gudeman, Dale Ham- merton, Arthur Jacob, Jean Johnson, Mary Louise Lee, Anna- bel Leigh, Donald McConnell, Lorraine Olson, Bernice Otto, Betty Ripley, Marie Severinson and Melvin Stock. On that date these fourteen passengers will bid their last goodbye to dear old E. L. H. S. Line with the satisfaction that no great obstacles ever barred their way and caused their train of Education to crash. n Page Eleven CLASS WILL To whom it may concern: We, the Senior Class of "1940" A.

Continued on Page 29 Page Twelve SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY May 1, 1960 The other day I acquired some pretty interesting infor- mation about the members of the class of 1940. It happened this way: Upon hearing that the world's most famous tap dancer, Mary Louise Lee, was to be at the Chicago Theatre starting her tenth week of personal appearances, I thought it worth while, since she was my old school mate to journey to Chicago to see her. As I started out I noticed the gas tank of my car was almost empty, so I stopped at the nearest Standard Service Station which was attended by ano-ther school mate, Marie Severinson, who helped her husband, Bill Johnson, run this station. Having enjoyed a great show the night before, I awoke in a childish mood the next morning and decided to visit Jolly Joe on his morning program. While I was visiting this pro- gram, Jolly Joe gave me the opportunity to look through his magic telescope. My first thought was to turn it toward home, anal un- used to this instrument I happened to focus it on Riley, and there saw Lorraine Olson preparing breakfast for her hus- ba.nd, Richard Wilson, and her three children. Her husband is now a very prosperous man being Mayor of Riley. I next turned the instument to Hollywood where I saw Leslie Bushong as a cop on a motorcycle arresting Baby San-diy for speeding. I turned my glance a little and I saw Wayne Eckersley, who was Hollywood's best known Play Boiy, sitting in his SE-2050 a week apartment reading a home town magazine. I looked over his shoulder and saw another familiar face, but in a rather unfamiliar situation. It was a. picture of no other than Dale Hammerton preaching upon his favorite subject, "Tem- perancef' To my amazement when my telescope passed over Louis- ville, Kentucky I saw Art Jacobs acting as janitor 'in a "Distillery", Suddenly he rushed out the door with a pink discharge slip in his hand. We decided that the liquor had be- come so strong that it swept the place out, and they had no further use for a janitor. Turning the telescope slightly I next saw a little town whose only store bore the name of "Duck Town, Tennessee". Here I saw Annabel Leigh, a.n old maid seamstress who went from house to house gathering gossip as well as business. Deciding to change the View to a larger city I turned it Continued on Page 29 Page Thirteen CONFERENCE Problems facing students of a high school are numerous.

Every stu-dent needs an emotional outlet, and music is the most natural and undoubtedly the most beneficial. The various music groups of East Lynn High School have been very active throughout the year 1939-1940. The first public appearance of the year was made on October 17th when the Girls' Glee Clubl Cccmposed of 18 voicesj presented a program over Radio Station WDAN, Danville, Illinois. Several numbers by the noted composer, Brahms, were rendered, along with the well known "When Day Is Done" by Katscher. At the Fall Festival, November 16 and 17, our music department gave several numbers. The Mixed Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club and Orchestra presented programs at each of the four sessions respectively. One of the highlights of the year's musical activity was the Vesper Service of Christmas Carols on Sunday afternoon, December 17th. By candlelight a choir of 29 selected voices sang to a capacity filled church. Such old familiar carols as Palestrina's "Gloria Patri", Silent Night", The First Noel", lent much to the sacred atmosphere of the Christmas season. The complete program was repeated over Radio Station WDAN the week following. On May first a Spring Musicale was presented by the entire Musical Department. A theme of 'fMusic From Foreign Lands" was carried throughout the program-a special part being devoted to the rendition of the loved Negro Spirituals. An interesting arrangement for Chorus and Orchestra of the Italian, Denza's "Funiculi, Funiculi", was of especial interest on this concert. Various parts of this program were broadcast over Station WDAN. Aside from the larger musical organizations we have several ensemble groups which have presented programs at church, banquets and club meetings in East Lynn and nearby communities. Within our school we have a Girls' Trio, a Mixed Quartet, and an Instrumental Trio composed of piano, flute, clarinet. As worthwhile participants in the field of music, we per- sistently seek the crowning aim of musical activity-beauty of tone and expression. Music reaches and awakens the sense of beauty and provides the most ready and natural means for its free expression. "Music for everyone and everyone for Music."

We believe that many fans of the 1939-40 team were not primarily a group of fans that came to watch the games and went away down hearted because of a defeat. East Lynn basketball boys have always been noted for their scrappy playing to the last seconds of the game and never giving up. The regular team consisted of, Arthur Jacob, center, Kenneth Bauer, forwardg Wayne Denman, forwardg Donald McConnell, guard, and Dale Hammerton, guard. 'Art' Jacob proved very successful at the ,position. He carried out his job in getting rebounds. Art had the spirit to fight hard to the finish. 'Kenny' Bauer, although hindered in size and weight carried on very successfully. He was fast and very clever in handling the ball. "Soc" was also a good shot from almost any- where on the floor. Wayne Denman fulfilled his duties playing the other forward position. "Nickle Plate" was a very hard rebounder and a good shot from the side of the floor and in the pivot position. Rex will show up greatly next year. . Dale Hammerton showed his ability as a very successful guard. He was a very heady player and clever ball handler. Hammerton acted as Captain of the H39-40" team and we are firm in our belief that he was liked by all players and fans. Donald McConnell took charge of the other guard posi- tion. Although not a heavy-scorer Don justified himself as one of the steadiest players on the team. He was the main spark in the defensive position. An invitational tourney was held at Potomac. Teams competing were: Armstrong, East Lynn, Henning and Poto- mac. Drawings were made just before the game with Armstrong playing Potomac and East Lynn drawing Henning. The first game was won by Potomac. The second game of the evening was a thrilling upset, with Henning winning over East Lynn by a mere three points. The second evening came up with Henning playing Potomac and East Lynn playing Armstrong. East Lynn came back the second night to defeat the Armstrong five and win the third place trophy. Potomac won the second game of the evening seizing the first place trophy and the second place was awarded to the scrappy Henning boys, Page Twenty-f ive BASKETBALL SQUAD Left to Right: First Row: Victor Sinock, Kenneth Bauer, Richard McConnell, Robert Wright, Junior Hofer.

Page Twenty-six THE COUNTY TOURNAMENT The county Tournament was played at Hoopeston with East Lynn playing the Rankin five. Within the last two sec- onds to play, East Lynn was leading one point but with only one second to play, Rankin's sparing forward Shepard dropped a beautiful left handed shot to take the game from East Lynn. The finals of the county Tournament -were held at West- ville with Indianola shaking' off all opponents and winning the 1940 County Championship. The scrappy north end Ross- ville five took second, Armstrong defeated Oakwood for third leaving Oakwood in fourth place.

Undoubtedly next season will be more successful, even though, Hammerton, Jacob, and McConnell will be lost by graduaton. Page Twenty-seven The "39" team consisted as followsg Dale Hammerton, Pitcherg Don McConnell, Catcherg Art Jacob, first baseg LeRoy Martin, second base, Wayne Denman, Short Stopg Victor Smock, Third base, Kenneth Brassfield, Left field, Richard McConnell, Center fieldg Robert Wright, Right field. Dale Hammerton proved to be very good on the hill, doing his part pitching and in batting he also showed up greatly. Donald McConnell aided by his stalky build was one of the best back stops in the league. Usually batted in cleanup position and led the team in batting. Art Jacob, favored with his height and lankness, served his time well at the first base position. LeRoy Martin held down the second base position and substantiated his activeness as an infielder. Wayne Denman, the experienced short stop from last year, handled batting and fielding with a great deal of tact- fullness. Wayne has good prospects for a pitcher for his next two years. Victor Smock, the small but mighty third baseman did a very good job playing his position. "Vic" also did his part at batting. Kenneth Brassfield proved to be a very good left fielder and will be heard of greatly in his next two years. Richard McConnell, a freshman did very well in center field considering that he was practically unknown to baseball. y Robert Wright had right field under his command. Bob was also a good batter and will help bring in the scores in the next three years for East Lynn. , JOKES vie: "what'did zeima say af- ter you kissed her?"

Here I recognized Jean Johnson, who was a great opera. singer at the Metropolitan and was married to Paul Robinson. I looked a little further in New York, and who should l see but Bernice Otto sitting at the Editor's Desk of the "New York Times". I moved the telescope until I saw Washington, D. C., where I spied Mr. Don McConnell carrying mail. Just then I remembered seeing in the newspaper that he had received his fifth divorce. Being disappointed in females he had decided to become a ma.ilman. Next I focused my telescope across the water to Switzer- land. Here I saw Viola Gudeman running a large school for skiing. Helping her was a French Marquis who, I calculated, was her husband. After this interesting experience Iwas just ready to return the telescope to Jolly Joe when my eye caught China, and here I saw Melvin Stock and Betty Ripley who were happily married. Looking closer I saw that Betty was doing Missionary work in China, she was teaching little Chinese children how to"Jitterbug". Out in the street I saw Melvin drawing a Rickshaw. "It is now time for me to check up on the old dressing race," I heard Jolly Joe say, so my adventure was over. I left the studio and got into my car and headed for home. On the way home I thought of all those I had seen through the magic telescope and decided I had seen the whole senior class of 1940. CLASS WILL ICONTIUED , Bernice Edna.
