foreword Like most years, 1967 - 68 marked a be- ginning and an end. The Class of '68 finished its high school career. The Class of '71 started theirs. It was the last year for the library to operate in the old build- ing. Everyone watched the construction of the new library edition with different degrees of an- ticipation. Seniors felt cheated because they would not get to enjoy the new quarters. Un- derclassmen were talk- ing of enrolling in a new department, Art, which would occupy the old li- brary quarters the next year. As the building progress was obvious t o a 11, it was a little less obvious, but never- theless a certainty, that EHS students were learning and growing in many ways. The ath- letic program was ef- fective and beneficial. The Music Department ranked well in compar- ison to other schools. The Latin Club won rec- ognition for its academ- ic pursuits. The Speech and Debate program offered students greater opportunities in per- sonality development. Principal George Cusick breathed a sigh of relief at t h e end of the year when it was obvious that the building was still in tact and approximately 270 students had demon- strated a new maturity. This yearbook is an attempt to catch the intensity, excitement, and spirit engendered as EHS students pursued their course toward adulthood.

Administration Duties Wide And Varied There's more to administering a school than approving bills for payment and hiring personnel. School board members found themselves supervising the building of the new edition to passing out diplomas as President Don Jensen and Vice-President Leonard Kasselman (RIGHT) are doing. Administrators attended appreciation breakfasts and served refreshments at some school gatherings. BELOW board members Don Jensen, LcRoy Zahn, Nick Klepper, Chester Kimble, Leonard Kasselman, and Duane Langrehr discuss busi- ness. Treasurer George Meyers is not pictured. These men, along with Superintendent Sam Stitt, Principal George Cusick, and Business Manager Fred Meyer had the difficult task of keeping school business and policy running smoothly.
