L.ET'S FACE THE FUTURE THE FOREMAN AND HIS JOB Every student that left E.I-I.S. this year whether just tor the summer or forever, took memories with him, many which could be traced to certain taculty contacts. Their guidance often helped pull you through the years at E.H.S. Without them how could you have proved that geometry problem. EDUCATION IN A DIVIDED WORLD Mr. Edward Erickson, superintendent and Mr. Wil- liam Brown, principal should receive their share of the credit for the management of our wonderful school. Mr. Brown not only knew all of the students but also knew their weaknesses and strengths and was always ready to assist any student activity, group, or teacher when his help was needed. Although Mr. Erickson was new to our school, we soon found him to be a man we were proud to call our friend. With these men as our administrators their strength and personalities helped to capitalize the in the Homey atmosphere around E.H.S. Our school board too took an active interest in us as students. The seniors will remember the Tuesday breakfast given as a realistic token of that interest. or what turn would there have been in sneak- ing out of study hall? Did you ever forget your ioy when the coach patted you on the back, or your feeling ot reliet when an as- signment deadline was extendeol? In spite ot tlunlcing grades and disagreements, there was a teeling ot deep respect tor every faculty member and we tound that teachers were a pretty decent lot after all. Principal Mr. Brown and Superintendent Mr. Eriekeon strolled between buildin s during class to avoid bell rush collisions.

SHAKESPEARE WITHOUT TEARS ....... FRENCH FOR THE MODERN WORLD Harry Peyton Mr. Peyton, who taught French and Latin in the absence of Mr. Gates during 1953, was a newcomer to the teaching profession. He was well qualified to teach languages because he had traveled in France and had majored in language at the University of Washington. By being the French and Latin teacher, Mr. Peyton fell heir to the job of advisor to French and Latin Clubs. He had quite a time trying to synchronize the workings of the five separate classes, but managed to keep them running without getting too many gray hairs, and gained much experience in teaching. ADVENTURES IN MODERN LlTERATURE Dick Stearns It was a common sight to see a little green Austin parked among the hot rods of Ellensburg High stu- dents. The little Austin belonged to Mr. Stearns and Mr. Stearns belonged to the E.H.S. faculty. He had classes of literature, composition, and English every day. He was also in charge of assemblies. He sche- duled some entertaining National and some student given assemblies. Mr. Stearns proved himself very capable by being elected president to both the Kittitas Education Association and the State Classroom Teacher Associa- tion. It wasn't Greek to J. Snowden and A. Peter anymore after Mr. Peyton explained the conju ation of laudo. ENGLISH FOR EVERY USE Marion Klobucher The puscillanimous puppy scooted behind his master. Miss Klobucher was very adept at creating little gems to illustrate the meaning of a word. Her junior and senior Literature and English classes en- joyed this salt of wit with her knowledge. She also taught the mass productive Creative Writing Class which turned out short stories, essays, poems, and jokes by the dozens. A great improvement was made in latter works. Her College Prep Class got a thorough review before facing college entrance exams-no bone-heads from her class Qwe hopejl v Mr. Stearns asked D. Petre, J. Liboky, and R.
