IN THE BEGINNING, as Carrie Foster-McCoy
accepted her diploma in 1883 the history of Ells-
worth High School was in its first chapter. Since
then there have been more than 2,000 graduates,
two successive school buildings, and many tradi-
tions and customs.
Graduation from EHS has become a family tradi-
tion among families such as the Flanders, Seitz,
O,Donnell, Cadwell, and Allen families. These are
only a few of the families in which succeeding
generations have gone to EHS and acquired an
undying loyalty to their school.
Above and to the left is the class of 1894. When
they were seniors there were only three years of
high school-Freshman, Junior, Senior. There
were few electives and school was from 9 in the
morning until 4 in the afternoon. The class motto
was, "To the stars through difficulty." In order to
graduate all the girls had to read an original es-
say and each boy had to give an original ora-
tion. This was done at the commencement exercise
on the stage of the Masonic Hall, now the Golden
Bell Theatre.
After the establishment of Ellsworth in 1867 and
the coming of the cattle trade in 1871, Ellsworth
had become a cowtown of the frontier. In 1875
the railroad moved west, taking the business which
had made Ellsworth famous and infamous. So
Ellsworth turned to agriculture, and religion and
education were part of this new life.

1900-1910
At the turn of the century Ellsworth High School
was greatly different from the one today, academy
was a better description than high school. Basic
education was the foremost purpose with college
preparation the final product. There were few ac-
tivities, organizations, or athletics. In 190-lv there
was no graduating class because in that year EHS
became a four year high school. ln 1906 EHS
fielded its first football team. Football lasted only
two more years because of lack of interest.

The biggest event of this decade was the arrival
of O. J. Silverwood in 1908. For 39 years he was
to be the superintendent of Ellsworth Schools. In
1908 music was first taught by Miss Culembeck.
The Fairchild building was the home of the high
school during this decade. The city library was in
Fairchild until the new classes in domestic science
and manual arts required classrooms.

This decade was a period of progress for the
schools of Ellsworth as well as for the rest of the
world. At the beginning of this decade girls were
the proficient EHS basketball players. But after the
construction of the gymnasium addition to Fair-
child the boys' teams were good-taking the 6th
District Championship in 1916.
The academic side of education was stiff. One
of the two foreign languages offered-Latin and
German-was required. There were few electives.
In 1912 Manual Training and Domestic Science
were offered for the first time.
The topic of the 1912 Debate Team-Harry
Hahn, Paul Hoffman, Fred Coover, Howard De-
muth-was, Resolved: that the pending amendment
to the Kansas Constitution granting women the
full right of suffrage should be adopted. The class
of 1918, first to be graduated from the new high
school building, started the tradition of handing
the key to the next graduating class. 5
The Taller, an annual, appeared in the spring of
1912. Push was a monthly magazine written by
the students during the 1912-13 school year. ln
1920 the Athletic Association published the pam-
phlet Oh Boy! to tell about all the activities of the
high school.
This was the decade of 1910-1920, full of prog-
ress, new ideas, and fun.

This was a period of progress. Hi-Y and the Na-
tional Honor Society were two of the organizations
which contributed to the growth of the school.
ln 1025 Coach M. N. Peterson had the cham-
pionship football team of the CKL. The largest class
ever to graduate was the class of 1926. This class
published the yearbook Red and Black with George
Jelinek as Editor. On the staff of the Red and Black
of the next yearbook was Harold Grant as Editor
with Horace Santry as associate editor.
In 1928 the Red Hot Peppers was the girls pep
organization, sponsored by Miss Mabel Lineback
with Louise Bender as president.

During the decade from 1930 to 1940 school ac-
tivities were varied and exciting. GAA sponsored
tumbling teams and a pep club. The Milestone, of
the class of 1938 was the first annual since 1931
because of the depression.
From the alumni of this period 151 entered the
Service during World War ll. Certainly it was a
great challenge to attend high school in the thirties.
Despite the depression and drought this generation
achieved an education and built loyalty to their
school and community.

An alumni party gives grads a chance to visit between
dances in 1946.
Straight from classroom to service went many of
the students of this decade. After thirty-nine years of
school leadership, 0. J. Silverwood, superintendent
of Ellsworth schools, was succeeded by Joel Martin.
There was, also, a new campus building added -
the industrial arts and agriculture building.

Our school life together started long ago. Many
of us started kindergarten together. ln l914T in the
first grade at Fairchild were 21 of this year's Senior
Class. This was the first class to start school after
Joel Martin became Superintendent. And this is the
first graduating class to have attended school in the
new grade building. for that huilding was finished
for the sixth grade.
The Class of 1959. with T0 members. was one
of the largest classes in EHS as freshmen. Since that
first year the class has lost lil students and gained
four. a net loss of ten.
Out of 38 student offices in EHS. 26 are held hy
seniors. With the exception of the freshman year
the class has consistently headed the honor roll.
Accomplishments . . . yes!
But we will remember . . . painting the streets
. . . the junior-senior Prom . . . the masquerade
party . . . the Hi-Y Bean party . . . the CAA initia-
tion . . . all of these will be a part of the rope of
the past for the senior of 1959.

Only one more year and we shall leave the halls
of Ellsworth High School behind us. But we, the
Juniors, shall always remember this year.
The most thrilling event of the year was the
J unior-Senior Banquet and Prom at which we showed
the Seniors our respect for them and the leader-
ship they have given us.
We proudly wear our class rings which signify
that we have lived up to the responsibilities of being
Juniors. Our successful magazine sale and produc-
tion of the Junior play have prepared us for some
of the tasks of leadership.
With these experiences we look toward the privi-
leges and responsibilities of next year - our Senior
year.

Ellsworth Hi h School tudent Council
The Student Council of EHS was established in
the school year of 1950. and was sponsored by Mr.
Marvin Ryden. The first president of Stu-Co was
Nick Slechta. In 1953, Miss Lineback became a
sponsor and in 1957 Mr. Robert Parks became a
sponsor.
This organization gives the students the opportun-
ity to work with the faculty in outlining t.he functions
and policies of the school. The cooperation of the
Stu-Co members helps build a basis for a better and
more democratic school.
The Student Council has done many things through-
out the years to help the students. As the 1952 El Kan
said, "They put out a handbook which is given to
all students. It contains valuable information which
students might need. The council sponsors dances
after both football and basketball games
school party."
The president of Stu-Co is responsible
all the necessary announcements and for
programs in assemblies. He is elected by
body and the other officers are elected by
members. Student Council representatives
and an all-
for making
introducing
the student
the council
are elected
by the class members in a class meeting.
The president is Ivan Kanak, the vice president is
Derrill Gwinner and Kathy Dumler is secretary-
treasurer.
The seniors and juniors have four representatives
from each class. The sophomores and the freshmen
have three representatives from each claw. There are
now two sponsors, instead of one, as it was in the
beginning of the Student Council.

Because our school and our community are rooted in
the past we can look with understanding at the present
and we can face the future with confidence.
From the classes of the past have come those tradi-
tions which are part of our school life today. As we go
down the halls of the school we see the pictures of those
classes-the second and the third generation of students
identify themselves with the students who preceded them
and who are kinsmen.
Of course school was different 80 years ago-or even
30 years ago. So. to give a picture of our school through-
out the years. we present glimpses of the school life. the
students. the community and we list the alumni. over
2000 of them. who have gone through the halls of this
school. Some of them have gone far away. some are still
part of our lives here-hut all of them. like us. say with
pride, "We are from Ellsworth."
