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.

PRINCIPAL CHES-ER ALEXANDER Elgin High School is not really a building, nor contained in a building. She is in the hearts of the thousands who have marched through her halls in search of knowledge, and in the minds that hold that knowledge. She is flesh and blood - stu- dents and teachers alike. Once hers, you are part of her tradi- tion forever. True, a new build- ing of brick and stone will be called, Elgin High School , but the Old Girl is just getting a face lift . No real part of her will be left behind, for her char- acter is her strength, and goes with her. Chester C. Alexander Principal if 20
