SENIORS You,ve come to the end of a long, weary trail, The final milestone is past. The curtain of time is veiling its scenes, A shadow o'er school days is cast. But always glad thoughts and memories linger And dreams of our school days renew Of teachers and studies that molded and made us, Of old friends, cherished and true. The halls of the future in chorus will echo Each class's merry refrain. The voices of students will ever resoundg Their humorous delight will remain. You have turned your back to the old school door, On the threshold of promise you stand. Therels a world to explore and conquer, Opportunity lies in your hand. May honor and fortune follow your classy And in history's monument lie The name of each student deeply engraved Oh! Seniors of Elwood High. - ESTHER GILL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When we entered high school way back in 1936, it seemed as if 1940 might never roll around, but here it is, and we Seniors are about to say good-by to good old E. H. S. Upon our entrance as Freshmen, we really caused some commotion among upper- classmen, for unlike most Freshmen, we could find our way around the corridors without the embarrassment of asking them to direct us to our rooms. In other words, we were quite capable of managing our own affairs. Our Sophomore year was uneventful com- pared to our dynamic first year. We organized and chose our sponsor that year. The school board gave the Juniors and Seniors permission to give dances, but this did not affect us until we were Juniors. As Juniors we sent out some of our members to make a name for themselves in athletics, debates, music, dramatics, annual work, librarians, monitors--in fact, in all scholastic activities. Our ability and talent to carry on was being slowly but undeniably recognized. And then came the final step. For four long years we had waited for the coveted title of Seniors. This is even more thrilling than we had anticipated. Class meeetings, parties, dances, and all the fun we had ever dreamed of have now come true. Our class has made a brilliant showing because so many school activities are represented by the members of our class. The basketball team is especially significant of our ability. We give our thanks to Elwood High School, for we really would not be such a spectacular group if it were not for our Alma Mater. We also give our thanks to the faculty who have so patiently endeavored to help us become what we are today. Now it is our turn to step out so the under-classmen can take over, and may they enjoy school life as much as we did. SENIORS
