The beginning of a new decade, the beginning of ten years of development and progress and the end of the fabulous '50's, the era of happy memories. What did this January meant the end of a two week vacation and the beginning of a two-week workout. Yes, this first possessed the dreaded mid-term finals. These were responsible for the serious weeks of cramming - - - cramming for work we should have gotten throughout the first semes- l'l'1C8l'lIOE.H.S.? f ter. The end of one semester and the beginning of a new oneg my how time flies. January meant the fulfillment of December's dream, a world of wonderful whiteness. Snow- balling became the passtime of all boys and a temptation to a few teachers. With the middle of January came report cards and relief fin most casesj. The realization of these soaring '60's was now imbedded upon every mind for the opportunity to start anew, to begin once more, was presented. We had now a clean slate to sink our teeth into! For the basketball teams it was merely a continuation. Basketball fever ran high in January and the students of E. H. S. were proud of their hard-working representatives. l suppose to a few poor souls this new sound called '60 was merely the start of another year, but to the seniors of E. H. S. , 1960 had a special meaning. This new beginning was what they had waited twelve half-long, half-short, years forg this was the year of graduation. It was most definitely the end of young carefree days, but it was also the beginning of a bright future look- ing toward maturity. .

geffruar .' 922,215 J earfs A Sweetheart gift at Valentine From his Ag boys, Mrs. Baily receives a small token of appreciation and admiration for his continuous help. WOW!!! On Feb. lst, 100 hearts almost burst with pride for the 60 members of the A and B football teams and their eagerly-awaited awards. The remaining bursting hearts belong to approximately 40 girls. Feb. 9th, Beverly Clark was crowned Basketball Sweetheart by captain Elliott Jones - her court, Vickie Lee, crown-bearer, Lisa Rodawalt, flow- er -bearer. Eliott and Beverly were presented during the halftime at the last home game. Goodness flowed from the hearts of students and teachers alike as they gave 891. 00, the proceeds going to the Polio fund, to see the men teach- ers of junior high take on the men teachers of high school in a basketball game that ended in a hard-fought tie. The eleventh of February, the F. F. A. boys honored their parents, sweetheart Carolyn Graf, and advisor Wade Bailey with a banquet as part of the celebration of National F. F. A. Week. The author of the comic series Chip, Mr. Jeff Hayes, presented one of the most enjoyable assemblies ever witnessed by the students of E.l-I.S. To the delight of many and embarassment of a few he turned our ordinary f?J students and teachers into comic characters, as if they weren't al- ready! Not to be forgotten, the F. H. A. girls honored their dates and sweet- heart, Gary Barker, with their traditional Sweetheart Banquet on the twentieth of February.
