Senior Class History In nineteen hundred twenty three the Seniors of ’27 entered this building of ours, commonly known as Elwood High School. They had four years of hard work ahead of them, and they knew it, so it didn’t take long for them to buckle down to good hard work. During the first year most of them did study quite a great deal. The fall of ’24 came and no longer were we Freshmen. High School began to mean something else except a place for work only. The class organized for the first time. The A class chose Lawrence Goodknight as president; Vivian Gallager, as his assistant; Louise Kincaid, as secretary, and Winifred White as custodian of finances. The spring class' elected their leader to be Kalph Broyles, with Barbara Smith in second place. Uda Adam;, was to record all happenings and Arthur Noble was to hoard the shekels. When the Junior year rolled around the class was fast coming into its own. Our boys were winning places on the athletic teams, we were piaymg a more active part in all phases of school life. We then began to see that E. H- S. would not get along very good if it wasn’t for us. Why, we would be Seniors in only one more year! A few changes were made in the officiating line up for this year, Bennett Lamb taking his place in the chair of the nudyead ciass; Winitred White was made secretary-treasurer of this group. Dan Johns ascended to the presidency of the spring class, and Kalph Broyles became vice-president. Then came the Senior year! This was our year of years. We began to feel very sorry for the High School after we were gone. We were the honored class. It was members of our class who held most of the honors around school. We were the athletes, the dramatists, the debators, the musicians of El- ii. We might have been proud or dignified if we had been so inclined. But we weren’t, ask the Freshies if you don't believe me. The officers for this last year were: For the mid-year class Bennett Lamb, president; Louise Kincaid, vice-president and Winifred White, secretary-treasurer. The officers of the spring class were as follows: Marjorie Monroe, president; Kobert Humke, vice-president; Henry Lesko, secretary, and Dorothy Kantner, treasurer. The members of both classes have now brought their high school days to a close. We only hope that in our sojourn here we have helped dear old El-IIi to progress ahead just a little farther. If we have then we are satisfied and we leave her with a sigh of regret, wishing that we were not departing so soon- Page Twenty-five
