SCHOOL YEAR 1973-74 N REVIEW This year at E.H.S. started Aug- ust 27th. Everyone was ready to get back to school and really hit the books hard. But in a few weeks they weren't so ready. One thing every- body noticed right away was that the school was clean. This due to the fact that we have a new janitor, Harley Bergmann. Although we don't always show it, we do appre- ciate it Harley. The Administration and School Board made 9ome improvements this year. Their most noticeable one was the construction of the new bath rooms. Now to get started on the main subject of this letter, the students. The Seniors have been quite busy all year working for that diploma. This year's Senior Class was the first to obtain senior privileges. With the influence of Mr. Schneider, the Administration decided they should have a reward for their good behavior and grades. Later on this year they decided that the responsibility was not handled as intended. The Junior year is the best and the busiest year of high school. First, the Juniors worked on their play, next they made plans for Prom. To earn money for Prom the Juniors sold magazines. When you get to be a Sophomore you are just getting into the swing of things. You are finally considered part of the High School. It's a funny thing about this year, we always realized the Sophomores were around around. They decorated the auditorium and the football field for Homecom - ing. When Prom time rolls around, some of the Sophomores are chosen to be waiters and waitresses at the Banquet. The Freshmen make the dummy for Homecoming and hung it in the middle of main street. Each year the outstanding F reshmen student is presented with the Freshmen Scho- lastic Award. The Junior High was quite notice- able this year. Along with all their other accomplishments they sang at the Christmas and Spring Concerts. Something new in the grade school was their crafts class. These classes were instructed by the parents. The activities included: knitting, beading. leather work, and number painting. The grade school al» went on a trip to the Brookings County Histori- cal Museum and saw the movie the Emperors New Clothes. This has been quite an active year for everyone. I hope this letter helps to bring back some great memories of the year. 2

Finders Creepers Maybe they were gluttons for punishment, but Hercules' uncle and aunt had wanted him to come visit for a long time. And to top it off, they even invited his bosom pal, Wilbur Max- well. So the boys arrived at Uncle Bob's; all set for a big week- end. That’s putting it mildly, since they didn't know that Uncle Bob was a mortician. They decide to head home until Wilbur spots Here's cousin. Celeste. Needless to say, he's ready to stay. Soon, things start really hopping and the boys appear to be the heroes. Here's a play chock full of choice comedy parts: little sis- ter Frankie, she loves mystery thrillers; Daphne, the maid, who's always lowering the boom on Claude, the caretaker; and livewire Granny, who with hep cat, Mr. Quigley, keeps the whole joint jumping in this well-paced, rib-tickling mystery- comedy. 4
