0I'lEWOBD Iust as the rays of light from the star Arcturus, brought together and fo- cused, will start the Century of Pro- gress, so does the school bring together the light of all the ages and focus it upon the mind of the student that he may be fitted for a life of progress. Iust as light is the main feature in the Century of Progress, so the light of knowledge is the dominant factor in the progress the student makes in school and will be the secret of his suc- cess in his later career. For these reasons it has seemed timely and appropriate to the Staff to use for the theme of the 1933 Maroon the message of light in the Century of Progress.

EIIICATIQJN When she retires this Iune, Miss Ellis will have taught in Elgin High School twenty-five years. In all of this time no one has been more encourag- ing, more sympathetic, more beloved than she has. As head of the English Department she has come in personal contact with more students than almost any other instructor, and always she has impressed them with her sincere and kindly personality. The teachers in her department, the students in her classes, the entire school join the Senior Class in expressing the deepest grati- tude for her invaluable service, as they dedicate this, The Maroon of 1933, to Miss Emmie Unsworth Ellis.
