THE PRESENT HIGH SCHOOL Great interest was shown by the students in the World War. The study of the Ger- man language and everything connected with Germany was abandoned. There was even military training, and a company of eighty-two boys was formed. Many high school graduates participated in the War, some giving their lives. An important memorial was left to the school when the class of 1922 gave the money to present medals to the most outstanding boy and girl from each graduating class. ln 1924 the Student Council, the first form of student government, was initiated. They devised a student handbook for the use of incoming freshmen as well as for those already in high school. Increased interest in extra-curricular activities was shown by the presence of the Girls Athletic Club, bands, the orchestra, glee clubs, English, Latin, French, and Spanish clubs. Auto mechanics, office training, and journalism were new courses adopted about this time. In 1926 an honor point system, in use today, was devised in order that extra-curricular activities might be more evenly spread among the students. The same year the old wooden stairs were replaced by steel and cement. It bcame necessary in 1931 to build a junior high school on the west side to take care of the increasing enrollments. Some day there may also be such a school on the east side. Perhaps, too, we shall soon have a much needed new gymnasium and auditorium, a topic which is now being discussed by members of the Board of Education. Thus we see how Elgin High School has grown to be one of the most outstanding schools in northern Illinois, joining with other large high schools to form a Big Six and next year a Big Seven through which all interscholastic activities are held. It is a school of which to be proud, graduation from it is recognized all over the country, its graduates have proved its worth by their outstanding accomplishments.
