Elgin High School - Husky Tracks Yearbook (Elgin, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1956 volume:

 ► IMR. CHARLES P. HAGGERTY Mr. Charles P. Haggerty came to the Elgin Schools in December 1945 as a music instructor. Since that time he has taught music, band, shop, mathematics and science. For the past several years he has held the position of vice principal of the high school and has had charge of the guidance and testing program in the entire school. In appreciation of the eleven years spent in the Elgin Schools and in the community the staff of "Husky Tracks" wishes to dedicate this 1956 edition of our yearbook to Mr. Haggerty and to wish him success in his new administrative position.

We have tried to record words and pictures that tell of facts and events, as well as many happy memories to fondly remember throughout your future life. We have found that within the busy life of school days it is difficult to "crowd in" another activity--those seemingly endless staff meetings to plan and to produce a yearbook. A production that will do justice to a fine school and to the students and faculty within that school is a large undertaking. We are grateful to the administration, the faculty and the students who have given their time and effort to make this publication a reality. It is our hope that we have helped in some measure to bring to you those events that will help you cherish this year spent in Elgin High School. With the passing of time, as you glance through this book, may fond memories return. May you live again, and remember the school year 1955-56.CURLY FRED EU Custodians DOROTHY HAZEL BETTY Cooks IDA Happy Birthday To You! I Who's Treating Who?
