FGREWCDIQD In Iune, this year of nineteen hundred thirty-five, Elgin celebrates one hundred years of growth from a small lone cabin to a complex modern city. A large part of the centennial celebration will be devoted to honoring Elginis pioneers. It has therefore seemed fitting to the staff of the Maroon of 1935 to choose a theme for this book which shall remind us always of their part in our development. Paralleling happenings of the first year in Elgin with the year in Elgin High School, the book makes use of excerpts from the fictitious journal of a pioneer to introduce the various divisions. In addition, a history of secondary education in Elgin has been used as the preface to show upon what basis rests the accomplishment of the class of 1935. The greatest dreams of Elgin's founders have been surpassed in the city of today, and we look forward to the future, hoping that prom- inence and leadership in industry, community welfare, and beauty will continue.

DEDICATICDN When the school year comes to a close this Iune, Mr. Goble will have been principal of Elgin High School for thirty years. In all this time the school has ever been all-important to him. Even during vacations he con- tinued to visit his office, spending the best years of his life in making this school a worthy institution of learning Whose graduates would be accepted at any university they might choose. Never brusque, but always kind, sympathetic, and thoughtful, he has been completely unprejudiced in all his dealings with both students and teachers. If any one word can characterize him, it is fair-minded. Now that he has come to the end of his last year as our principal, let a common feeling of deepest appreciation unite us all as the Senior Class dedicates this, the Maroon of 1935, to Mr. William Luther Goble.
