PERSONNEL WWWWMQ ygywvtfifiizffr J! This pensive group of ASB officers ruled the roost in 1913. Judging by the thoughtful expressions on their faces, they must have taken the responsibility of governing the student body seriously. ln 1927, the students of EHS were moved to organ- ize a Board of Control in addition to the existing student governing bodies. These representatives, some of whom should look familiar to a few present- day EHS'ers, were members of the Board. Gathered around a table in the library of the old high school are Mr. Brown and the student body officers of 1941. Could they be discussing the per- ennial problem facing ASB officers-how can we carry on this business most efficiently?

'L ln reviewing the changes and progress of the last fifty years as they affect EHS,the most consistent but paradoxically the least predictable variation has been in the per sonnel. Along with the obvious yearly change of faces-one class leaving and one en tering-a million other unobtrusive transitions have left their mark on EHS throughout the fifty years. From one or two modest bicycle racks in front of the school, to a parking lot, assigned parking places, and cars, cars, cars .... From navy skirts and middy blouses, to shorter skirts and more sophistication, then back to the middies .... Through a depression, part of a recession, and two world wars .... From Rudy Vallee, to Frank Sinatra, to Elvis Presley .... These are a few changes both from outside and within EHS that have had some effect on the personnel since 1908, and which have helped to make those years memorable. Q if JM ,W W4

1 1 15 , if When p o6lemA MR. BROWN The road of progress would never be traveled if there wasn't a blazer for the trail. EHS has been very fortunate to have Mr. William Brown as our trail blazer. Starting as Principal in 1930, he has seen us through two schools and twenty-eight years of success. Mr. Brown had the unbeliev- able power of knowing all the students, their weaknesses and strengths. He was always ready and willing to assist each individual or group, and to help with any activity. May we salute him as our leader of progress! MRS. ROBINSON Mrs. Robinson, where is room 3l4? asks a bewildered Sophomore. But, Mrs. Robinson, it's not my fault I'm late! complains a Junior. Mrs. Robinson, do you really think I played hooky? asks a Senior. With this daily bar- rage of questions, our Office Secretary, Mrs. Virginia Robin- son, was continually kept whopping. Her fair decisions and logical advice were called upon daily by administrators, teachers, and students. MR. ERICKSON How can he stand it-having to see our same old faces for twelve years ? wondered High School students, but Mr. Ed Erickson, our Superintendent of Public Schools, seems to consider it a privilege. His friendly hello and warm smile greeted all students whenever they met him. Interested in all of us, he was continually trying to improve both classes and facilities so we would receive the maximum benefit from them. 10 'iwwfl' 3 Ln, is A 5 I
