' Personalities Remember the meetings at that certain locker, The periods spent in some particular room, the Early difficulties in locating the north wing, elbowing through the crowd- ed halls, the privacy inside the Chicago Street entrance, the dances in the old gym, the corner during the noon hour? These are fond memories and the state- ment, Those were the days, will be made many times. Yet, the move to the new Elgin High School represents needed change and to opportunity for new experiences. Undoubtedly the eventual memo- ries attachments will follow. For all of us it represents a change in our lives and the com- munity. Those of us who make the move and those who follow must meet the challenge to continue in the new building the kind of fine educational program for which Elgin High School has long been KNOWN- D.

The necessity for providing the additional 1200 to 1500 new students each year involves planning years ahead to make sure there are adequate buildings, staff, and material to take care of that growth. The new Elgin High School is the result of a board issue submitted to the voters by the Board of Education. With the authoriza- tion ofthe voters to proceed, the Board hired architects, called for bids on the specifications, and awarded the contracts - and our new school became a reality. ln a constant attempt to keep the educational opportunities at the high level traditional with Elgin Public Schools Cand Elgin High in particulary the Board of Edu- cation is the final authority on all matters of school policy. Any innovative programs that promise better education are reviewed and, if found valid, are implemented in the districts educational program at the proper level. Only dedicated and public spirited citizens of the district would accept the challenge of being a member ofthis board.
