This isn ' t the usual Elmhurst, there ' s too much action. I feel like we have invaded an ant farm. That ' s right, we ' re not just going to initiate sophomores, but freshmen too. There are so many halls, classes, people! How will I ever learn where I ' m going? They act like they ' re in a race to class or else someone just yelled, ■FIRE! ' Look, classrooms are really filling up and still half the people are search- ing for their destination . . . organiza- tional room. There was much commotion the first weeks of school for half the student body was new to Elmhurst — sopho- mores and freshmen. It was also hard to get into the school work routine after the three months of summer. The begin- ning of school seemed to include the hottest days of the whole summer or could it have been that sitting in class was hotter than cruising, swimming, or just messing around? Even when the chaos settled down, EHS just wasn ' t the same old place. Getting back inio Ihc groove of schoolwork was very difficult after summer vacation, especially for seniors. Mr. Mattix waits patiently for every- one to get quiet before beginning economics. Table of Contents -

. . . The Same Old Place Keeping the b Mi lipiP and Movement clubTMissulenaening ' s activity utilizes the new gymnastics room. We don ' t have to detour around any construction materials or climb over piles of dirt this year. The building seems so much closer now that we can go in the new addition doors, that means no more long walks in the cold just to get to school. It ' s really changed the face of Elm- hurst. Elmhurst, now a four year high school, expanded to 1567 students and opened the new addition which had been under construction for two years. Additional faculty members added to the face lift of EHS. Along with a new freshman class, there were 19 newly employed teachers. Classes and teach- ers had to be juggled to make sure every possible space was being used. A different class, the Class of ' 79, dominated the halls, now that the Class of ' 78 was a part of the past. New friends were made, old friendships shared new experiences, Elmhurst grew and the people in it changed . . . It ' s Not Just the Same Old Place. After the opening of the industrial arts expansion, sophomore Kevin Cramer has the privilege of using the new power mechanics room. The additional 300 students at EHS seemed to allow it affordable to sponsor more dances. DECA helped break the January-February bore- dom, organizing a dance featuring Uranus. Friends get together after the long vacation separation. Senior Kim Kosiarek and junior John Shull catch up on the latest party. In order to cut back on classroom space, the journalism room is separated by thin walls to allow two classes, basic journalism and publications, in one room.
