' I'1'cr1s1l1'r I' VVe, the class of 1949, having only one more year of high school ahead of us, look fondly back on the past years and ahead to our senior year. In the eighth grade we entered high school, wide-eyed and bewildered, for the first time. How- ever, we soon became accustomed to our new surroundings and settled down to enjoy every minute of our high school career. As freshmen we were given the privilege of initiating the new eighth graders. This year also brought forth our first opportunity to join certain clubs and take part in other activities. Also we had our first taste of real high school subjects. In our sophomore year we felt even more a part of E.C.H.S. and began to wonder how the school ever got along without us. After all, many of the officers of school organizations came from our class and the sophomores were quite outstanding on the athletic fields. This year we have the honor and the hard Work of the Junior play, the Junior Carnival, and the Junior-Senior dance. Then, too, there are the clubs We are at last eligible to join if We have what it takes, i.e. brains, for the National Beta Club and brains plus a Christian character for the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. Also, for those of us who have done outstanding work on the publica- tion staffs, there is the Quill and Scroll Club. Those of us who were fortunate enough to need plane geometry are trying to get by with perseverence. NVe are Ending that American History is fascinating, that Spanish and French are both Greek to us, and that we must learn the same things over each year in English. XVe may be seen anywhere you happen to look around the school for we are in the band, glee club. on the athletic teams, and members of clubs. We are the Juniors! Page Twenty-Seven

Though behind the scenes most of the year, the spot- light is turned on them when the mascots lead the seniors at graduation time. Cindy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Swayne, and Marvin, the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Seymour, were chosen for the 1948 mast-ots. GEORGE: MARVIN SEYMOUR I B B L E R S Left to right: .lean Sherlock. Mildred Pearson.
