Buildings, teachers, classes, friends shape us, mold us These were years for What is it? It's close to the center of the nation, the center of the state, the center of town, and the center of its block. It is called USD 355, Ellinwood High School What began in an old frame structure in 1872 is now being car- ried on in this building. With the public library on east side and the gymnasium in the center, class- room activity takes place on all sides. Across the street to the north stands the Vo-Ag and art build- ings. What does it hold? Just walk down the halls of the proud, red brick building with 1926 carved into its chalkstone trim. Trophy cases overflow with accomplish- ments of the participants. Class portrait panels grow next to the pop machine that will hum away until the end of time. Letter jacket jocks gather on the benches; some perch on the trash cans. Mosaic ea- gles watch over the stairs. Ancient signs mark archaic hallways. A senior completes her studies in finding self Senior Hall between classes. Fresh- men move quickly down the center of the hall not daring to look to either side. Teachers take their post outside each door to watch the jug- gling of books and slamming of lockers. Students in Nikes roam the halls freely between the bright, uniform blue doors which hide cu- bicles, no two alike. Who are we? Our shirts will pro- claim us a member of Mystic Blues, FCA, German Club or Latin Club, and Ellinwood High School Band. EAGLES number 72 and The Complete Cowboy stroll down the hall. Here comes a Rick Springfield fan, an Air Supply fan, and a Lover- boy fan. Just check out their shirts. Improve your image-be seen with a Junior. What kind of shirt are you wearing? Hang Ten, Adidias Ocean Pacific, or Esprit? But even without special shirts, our activities identify us. There goes the newspaper editor — but wait, he's the center on the basket- ball team. A band member? Yes, and a running back. A photogra- pher? Yes, and an artist. A cheer- leader? A track star. A debater? An actor. An A student? A trouble- maker. Are you a KU, K-State, or Wich- ita State fan? For a short time, at least we all identify as being Eagles of Ellinwood High School. And that's one of the things we do while in High School. We create an identity, as Webster defines it: The collective aspect of the set of char- acteristics by which a person or thing is recognized or known. Per- sonal individuality. ON TOP.
