Enter with us through these wide portals to the familiar
halls of learning and enioy with our staff, this school
year of nineteen hundred and forty-four and forty-five.
llElllCl'l'lllll
In recognition of their service and loyalty
to us, we the class of l945 dedicate the
1945 ELK to our parents. They con-
sistently toresow our need and made both
our elementary and secondary education
possible. lt was through their earnest co-
operation that these twelve years have
been made productive, enjoyable, and
worthy of remembrance.
llllllllL llllilllll
A very important element in any school system is that group of five
public-spirited citizens technically called the school board. On their
shoulders rest the responsibility of hiring the teachers, paying the bills,
considering new ideas, eliminating some of the old, and, in general,
seeing that the school is running smoothly. Their iob is one that requires
lots of thought and work and very little thanks. The students would
like to take this opportunity to extend their deepest appreciation and an
earnest "thank you" 'to them.

SUPERINTENDENT

and University of Wisconsin
The success of a high school and the
future of its students rest primarily upon the
Superintendent. We have been fortunate
in having a Superintendent who is always
willing to give advice and who is interested
in all of our activities. It is unusual to find
a person with a good sense of humor, who
is also an effectual disciplinarian when nec-
essary. We, the class of " '45", wish to
extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Forrest.

JUNIOR CLASS
Fifty-nine students enrolled as Juniors in the fall of 1944. When votes
were counted after election, it was announced that Bill Seymour was victorious
in campaign for president. Bill Morrissey received the office of vice-president,
and Gertrude Hirn became keeper of records and money. Don Getzen was
appointed Athletic Council representative and Ellen Tess cheerleader.
The Junior 'class play, "Johnny On the Spot.", with Bill Seymour and Kay
Thum carrying the leads proved to their audience that the Juniors were talented
actors and actresses. The play was one of the high lights of the school year.
Early in the school year the Juniors selected their class rings which are to
be of one design. The rings are similar to those of the class of "45".
ln November the Juniors sponsored the annual "Sadie Hawkins" dance
which is becoming a tradition of the school.
The Junior Prom of i945 was a huge success. The orchestra was Raye Block,
a band which we have had before, and which now plays on numerous radio
programs. The decorations were unique and cleverly carried out. The Grand
March was very impressive, led by King Bill Seymour and his Queen, Shirlee
Gardner.
The Junior and Senior Reception with the Juniors acting as host to the
graduating Seniors was a gala occasion despite the fact that several members
of both classes were absent due to their joining the armed forces. This was
the finale of the Juniors' eventful school year.

SOPHOMORE CLASS
Weathering their first year of High School, the "Sophs" continue to carry
on with the same success they had in their Freshmen year.
At the beginning of the year, they elected Douglas Dexter, a newcomer to
Elkhorn, as their president along with Agnes Leach as vice-president. Vivian
Bass was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Frank Eames was chosen to represent them
on the Athletic Council and Phyllis Field won out as Cheerleader to help keep
up our school spirit.
To help them in time of need and strife, Mrs. Van Epps, Miss Karberg, Mr.
Hastings and Mr. Paulson are their able class advisors,
As is the usual custom, the "Sophs" honored the other classes with an all
school party, April seventh.
Although they have been with us but a short time, the "Sophs" are well
along in gaining honor for their class what with their members taking part in
several school activities including Music, Sports, Forensics and Dramatics. Several
of their girls were chosen to take part in the all-school play. Many of them
have brought home honors in Music, Debate, and Dramatics in competition with
other schools.
Not to be outdone by any class, these twenty-seven boys and thirty-five
girls seem to more than enioy their share of popularity.
They have traveled only half the way to their goal, and we know that in
their last two years they will continue to show more of their ability and success.

FRESHMAN CLASS
On the first day of school Elkhorn High was proud to open its doors to one
of the largest classes for many years, the class of "48". lt was composed of
67 "Freshies", 33 boys and 34 girls. Under the able assistance of their "Big
Brothers" and "Big Sisters", the upper-classmen, they soon became accustomed
to life at Elkhorn High.
Mary Piper was the winner of the election for President. Assisting Mary
were Carol Tess, vice-president, Betty Erickson, secretary, Bill Dunbar, Athletic
Council Representative, and Phyllis McKenzie, Cheerleader.
Many of their members soon became active in band, chorus, and many of
the other school activities. The Freshman class as a whole seems well interested
in sports and many of them show great promise in the field of basketball, baseball,
and football.
Romance and dates prosper in every class and this class of "48" was no
exception as we soon found out at the all-school party given in honor of the
Freshman soon .after the opening of school. The "Freshies" now became a part
of the social life at Elkhorn High and entertained at an all-school party on May
25 which was well attended and much enioyed by all present.
Under the able assistance of Miss Mertens, Miss White, Mr. Steidl, and Mr.
Disrud, Freshman class advisors, the Frosh are well along the way to success and
we are proud to say to them, "Welcome to Elkhorn High."

diligent leadership of Miss Sullivan. At
the first meeting Bob Connor and Jack
Brellenthin were elected co-editors, and
Ivan Alder, sports editor. lt is the duty
of the club to see that the school news is
typed and taken down to the Independ-
ent office by five o'clock on the Monday
that they meet.
This year they excluded all gossip from
the regular Hi Lites and published it in a
monthly school paper, which the Press
Club sends outialso. ln this paper all the
school gossip and happenings plus spe-
cial features that fit in with the time are
put. We take our hats off to Miss Sullivan
and this year's Press Club.

The Dramatic Club, under the supervi-
sion of Miss Chapin, and the very cooper-
ating club members have done a very
good iob in organizing and putting on
plays during the year.
The club has put on "Nine Girls" an
all-school play which went over as a
success. The girls were in charge of the
stage, property committees and all the
make up. Money from this play will go
in the Dramatic Club treasury.
They have also decorated a room in
the basement of the hi'gh school as a
dramatic room for meetings and for make
up. Club members have worked very hard
painting it and redecorating it themselves.
During the whole year they had nine
plays and the pupils acted and put them
on themselves, also under student direc-
tion.
During Christmas the club put on a
very interesting play called, "The Per-
fect Gift". lt was enioyed by all.

The school spirit is reflected back to the Pep
Club and for their achievements we say a very
grateful "thanks". The Club composed of twenty-
two members, chose Leora Anderson as president,
and Miss Lorraine Mertens is their director.
Among the many activities of the Pep Club
the most important is instilling school spirit into
the student body. To maintain this spirit, which is
the encouragement to our teams, the members are
always composing rousing cheers and are respon-
sible for the pep meetings.
One of their accomplishments of the year was
the annual homecoming program. Starting with a
mass pep meeting, snake dance and free movie,
it came to a climax with the homecoming dance
and coronation of the homecoming king and
queen. Homecoming was a great success.
