If You Work
You can climb to the top of the highest hill,
If you workg
You can make yourself whatever you will,
If you work,
But a faith you must have rooted deep in your soul,
A purpose unshaken, a firm self-control--
Strive without ceasing, you'll reach to the goal--
If you work!

MADE AND WITNESSED THIS DAY OF
: 1
WITNESS :
pwpdecq
While sitting at home alone, I decided to turn on the television
set. As I focused the set, a football game between the Green Bay Packers
and the Chicago Bears came on the screen. Some of those players look
familiar! The announcer is saying, 'George Howard just made a terrific
drive through the line for a touchdown for the Chicago Bears. Two other
players doing a good job of blocking and tackling this afternoon are
Howard Wolf and Joe Peters.' I can remember when they were playing for
good old E.H.S.
Next on the screen I saw Charles Loftsgard and Douglas Chapman ad-
vertising their new trucking business.
The channel began to fade and a 'Down on the Farm' program came in.
Three of the best farmers in the community, Earl Lembke, Orran Bane and
Loren Frieden were leading the discussion.
Time for another change of program and I found a WP9StliU3 match
between 'K1ller"Durw1n Gilson and 'Mangler' Jim Cook. The announcer
said that the feature bout of the evening would be a women's wrestling
match between Babe CAliceJ Boyer and Hairpullin' CDonnaJ Hofer. -
I didn't like wrestling, so I turned the channel. well, what's
this? It looks like a dancing school. Oh, yes, here are the two
Charleston instructors, Shirley Page and Ruth Tillotson. Who are they
teaching? Why 1t's Earl Little.
Boy, he's really cuttin' a rug!
This program was interrupted for an announcement from the first
woman President of the United States, Deon Pollock.
'Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to present to you
my foremost general in the United States Army, Pat Minihan and Eugene
Butikofer'.
I was in no mood to listen to the generals, so I turned to the
'Jack Benny' Benson program. I always thought Burnell would make a good
comedian.
The channel began to fade and I came upon a torrid love scene. who
are the great lovers? well, it's Clifford 'the Shiek' Medberry and
Shirley Sugar Pie' Howard.
My program seems to have changed again. It looks like a classroom.
Dick Luce has discovered a new way to prove theorms in geometry and is
teaching his new method to the professors of all colleges. One of those
men looks familiar. It's none other than Arthur Larson, professor from
Upper Iowa.
A home maker's program came next and the announcer was asking,
would you like to be able to make perfect soda biscuits? If you would,
you'd better stay tuned to the three top cooks of the country, Carol
Nickels, Lois Medberry and Shirley Shaffer, as this is their lesson for
toda . " '
YI already knew how to make biscuits so I turned the dial again.
This time 'Russ Friederich and Jane Dennler's Beauty Salon' was demon-
strating on a customer. She looks vaguely familiar. As soon as she gets
that mud pack off I'll see. It's Jean Little!
By this time I was in the mood to listen to some music. Here we
are! The 'Texas Trio from Del Rio'. They look like Elginites. They
are! It's Joe Ogle, Bernell Larson, and Wanda Shaffer. After listening
for a while I decided they should go back to Texas.
I've been trying to find something on my television set for hours
and I still haven't found what I want. I'll make one last effort.
Here is a beautiful blond gazing at me from the screen. What's she
saying?
'Are you lonesome, do you need company? If you do, why don't you
join my Lonely Hearts Club? Address your cards to Janice Torkelson, or
come to my o ice.H
After seeing all the '52 graduates of E.H.S. I really was feeling
lonesome, so I decided to see Janice at once.
Isn't television wonderful!

The 1951 football season proved to be the best sincell man football
was started in l9h6.
Elgin's football squad started the season off with a bang bydowning
Calmar 20-7 at Elgin. The next Friday evening on our home field we won
our first conference game by defeating waukon 21-6. Because of a few
bad breaks we lost at Postville 7-O, in a game which everybody thought
would be a scoreless tie. Postville scored with only 55 seconds left in
the game. The following week brought Elkader to Elgin after a lapse of
19 years in football relations between the two schools. Elgin won 13-7
in a rough and tough game. The next Friday evening proved to be an off
night for Elgin. After leading 7-6, with only 3 seconds left in the
game, Maynard threw a 35 yard pass into the end zone for a touchdown.
The final score was 13-7 in favor of Maynard. The Panthers ran through
their next games easily by holding their opponents scoreless. Fayette
was defeated by a score of 13-O and Sumner lu-O. In the last game of
the season and the last game of high school football for unrteen seniors
the Panthers were defeated by west Union 7-6. Although Elgin outplayed
its opponent and held a 6-O halftime lead, a bad break in the third
quarter permitted west Union to score 7 points and win.

Girls
The 1951-52 basketball season was very successful compared to
recent years.
The record consisted of nine wins and nine losses. In conference
standings we finished in fifth place with six wins and five losses to
our credit.
In the county tournament we played in the consolation game after
losing a close game to Arlington, 25-Zh. Arlington won the champion-
ship. Elgin lost in the consolation game to Stanley and finished in
fourth place.
Elgin outscored their opponents and had a Ml point average per
game. Elgin had a total of 739 points to their opponents 713. Mary
Brackin, a Sophomore, led the scoring attack with 269 points.
Jean Little and Deon Pollock were chosen co-captains for the year.
Next year five returning lettermen will check in at forward
position and four returning lettermen as guards. The loss of players
is confined to guards. These three senior guards are Jean Little,
Shirley Page, and Deon Pollock.
Boys
The boys' conference standing thls year was considerably raised
with S wins and 7 losses. Elgin might have had a higher standing if
it hadn't been for a few tough breaks: losing to Elkader by two points
on a last second basket, losing to Fayette in an overtime and bowing
to Postville in the second meet after defeating them in the first
match. at the close of the season the Panthers settled for fifth
place in the conference.
In the over-all view of the season the Panthers won lh games and
lost 11. They outscored their opponents 971 to 969-
The squad will lose seven Senior players. These losses will be
felt quite severely by next year's squad. Seniors are: George Howard,
Burnell Benson, Bernell Larson, Earl Little, Earl Lembke, Cliff Med-
berry, and Eugene Butikofer. Top scoring senior players were: George
Howard with 3h9 points and Burnell Benson with 209 points.
Karl Lembke, Donald Sutter, Stanley Capper, Lane Ash, Paul Finney
and Donnie Reierson made up the rest of the squad.

The Senior Class play, HYou Can't Take It With You,' was
presented under the direction of Mrs. Schori and Mrs. Grove on
the evening of April M, 1952. The cast was as follows:

At first the Sycamores seem extravagantly mad, but it is not
long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the
world is madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the
unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of
the 'Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his
parents to dine at the Sycamore home, ohwthe wrong evening. The
shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap deli-
catessen food, shows'Al1ce that marriage with Tony is out of the
question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alican-
find it hard to realize her point of view. Meantime Tony, who
knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not
give her up, and in the end Mr. Kirby, at least, is converted to
the happy madness of the Syoamores, particularly since he happens
in during a visit by an ex-Grand Duchess, earning her living as a
waitress. No mention has as yet been made of the strange activi-
ties of certain members of the household engaged in the manufac-
ture of fireworks, nor of theprinting-press set up in the perlorg
nor of Rheba, the maid, and her friend, Donald, nor of Grandpa's
interview with the income-tax collector when he tells him he
doesn't believe in the income-tax.

'BROTHER GOOSEH
The Junior class under the direction of Mrs. Grove and Mrs.
Schori presented the play, 'Brother Goose', on November 9, 1951.
The cast was as follows:
Jeff, brother goose , , , , Lane Ash
Cer-ol, J ...... . . Marilyn west
WGS, J his f'lOCk . . . Donald Sutter
Hy8Ci1'1th,l .......... . Sharlene Gruver
Helen, who Quits ....... . . Dixie Helms
Peggy, who comes to the rescue , , Roberta Mosby
Eve, a southern charmer ,,,, , Janice Shaffer

Mrs. Trimmer, of the wee Blue Inns . . . Marlene Medberry
Truck Driver, who is plenty mad , , , , , Joel Holden
Postman ............ . George Lerch
Messenger ,,,,,,, , , Gene Snyder
The story is centered around Jeff, who is head of the house-
hold. Jeff mistakes Peggy for the new maid, and Peggy, tired of
selling hosiery and fond of the children, agrees to stay on and
help out. Lenore Hudson has just inherited a million dollars,
and has commissioned Jeff to build her a new house--which she
hopes he will eventually share with her. Hy, the little tomboy,
whose passion is football, hates Lenore because she is building
her house on their football lot, and is starting to excavate the
very day of the important game. In an excruclatingly funny scene,
Hy puts a crimp in Lenores plans, but Peggy shields Hy and takes
the blame herself. Jeff reprimands her. Peggy thinks she doesn't
have a chance competing with a girl who inherited a million
dollars--and leaves. Then Jeff realizes how much Peggy means to
him. Hy gets her football squad out and they bring Peggy back.
And then Peggy, in her delightfully vague ibut not so dumbj way,
pulls a few tricks herself, which puts the million-dollar baby
out of the running.

Many strange and weird sights were seen in
the Elgin High School October l. Initiation of
the lowly green freshmen was being held.
Some of these sights were: Glen Snyder as
uMuttNg Dwight Gruver as nJeffng Marilana Ogle
as nAunt Jemimang Elaine Anderson as nRastusHg
Beverly Muehlethaler as the Friendly Undertaker:
Stanley Lehman as the Indian squaw with her pa-
pooseg Reva Belle Medberry as an organ grinder
with Richard Clark as her monkey.
Each of the freshmen had to bring treats
to the seniors, which were enjoyed very much.
The freshmen were marched downtown by the
seniors after several group snapshots had been
taken.
At 6:30 p.m. the seniors and freshmen
journeyed to the movie, NI Was A Communist for
the F.B.I.u showing in West Union. Refresh-
ments were served by the seniors after they re-
turned to Elgin.
It was fun for both the student body and
teachers, and we are sure it was a day that will
be well remembered by the freshmen and seniors.
