THE ELSTONIAN Page 23 GINTHER HORAN WILLIAMS KARPEN Pres. Vice Pres. Sec'y Treas. SENIOR CLASS Way back in ’22 there was an expansion for a number of pioneers. Elston was selected as their new settlement. They were welcomed to this ground by former settlers with a rousing war dance. The next year a similar reception was given by them to new comers to the land. The following year they had overcome much of the strangeness of their surroundings and started reaching out in the wilderness for greater things to accomplish. ihey gave to their world a play worthy of their more educated eastern brothers, ihey bade farewell to departing comrades with another of their famous dances. About this time, becoming restless of old haunts, they moved to unexplored and beautiful new grounds. How strange, how unnatural they were to these hardy pioneers; but they soon adapted themselves to their new surroundings. Many old faces were gone (lost while crossing the plains) but new ones came up. The new community started their settlement right by advocating and finally securing self government. Many bold things have these frontiersmen planned—for instance a play. I fear I failed to mention the leaders of this group. They chose as the driver and guide of their caravan, Lawrence Ginther and Miss Shepherd. In all good communities there is a trusty person to care for the treasury and one to record their meetings. These were put in the able hands of Jane Karpen and Edward Williams. In case Mr. Ginther was killed by Indians during the transit Sel-wyn Horan was to take his place. Good bye! Old pioneers! You in your work have established a high standard. May you ever keep it when leaving your present hunting ground to go forth seeking new worlds to conquer. 41
