After analyzing the case of the juniors we find this to be a very true statement. Among the leaders we found in the Class are six lettermen, the secretary of the student body, three band members, three glee club members, and a yell leader. The juniors have always been willing to take part in the activities of the school. Their outstanding achievements for the school year 1939-1940, were the junior-senior banquet and the Junior play, “Good Gracious, Grandma!” In addition, junior men were the backbone of the basketball squad for the champion- ship 1940 season.

 3E| II0 CU SS HISJO Y It was in 19.16 that we started out in school. There were 21 of us, 10 of whom have completed their high school education here at Elgin High School. In addition to the 10 there were Blanche Bennett. Tom Boswell, Alma Hallgarth. Jane Hallgarth. Mary Porter, Everett Trump. Jack Whittle, Glenn Breshears, Lillian Gray and Flonely Vowels. The of- ficers were: president, Alma Hall- garth; vice president. Betty Wil- liams: secretary-treasurer. Mur! Pof- fenberger. and our advisor was Mrs. Payne. Two weeks after school started we were officially initiated into the school by rolling walnuts across the gym floor with our nose, and with the aid of the Seniors, we sang “Nobody Knows How Green I Am.” In the fall of ‘37 13 of us returned and with us there were Clinton Clark. Bill bong and Nadine San- ders. The officers were: pres d?nt. Betty Williams; vice president, Keith Fuller: secretary treasurer. Alma Hallgarth. and our advisor was Selma Carothers. Our next year all 16 of our Soph- omore class came back wih an ad- dition of three, who were: Elbert Hudxpath. Stewart Guthery and Wayne Downing. Betty Williams was president; Glenn Ray, vice- president: and Sara May Scott, secretary-treasurer who managed class affairs efficiently. Mr. Mas- tereon was our advisor. We had the privilege of sending the Sen’ors merrily on heir way. and our Junior sen’or play, “Bluebeard Bronson.” aided us in giving the Seniors the annual banquet. A further accom- plishment was to finish paying for the stage scenery. This, our last year of high school, with 14 boys and two girls to make up our class, is hr mm mg over wih activitities. The class of- ficers elected in September were: Robert Gent, president: Murl Pof- fenberger, vice president; Stewart Guthery. secretary-treasurer. At the beginning of the year we gave a hay-riding party. In November we all helped with the carnival to make it the biggest success of the year. On December 1st, we were com- piled to say goodbye to Bob Dowell moved to Long Creek, and on December 3rd, we all said goodbye to our schoolmate, Clinton Clark, who joined the army. We are graduating in caps and gowns for the first time since 1915, and we as a class are publishing this annual. We presented the school with a trophy case, which was very much needed. In closing our record of four years at Elgin H'gh School, we leave to you this volume of Huskie Tracks as our most lasting achievement.
