Organizations often sponsor extracurricular activities in order to raise funds. E.H.S. Teens Employ Energy Excessive energy and the ability to remain in a state of constant motion often seems indicative of a teenager- The amount of energy required to com- plete assignments is but a portion of that available. As a result, active students at Elmhurst High School not only participate in school projects, but also find many extra-curricular activities to occupy any spare time they might have. These outside interests pro- vide excellent opportunities to make friends and often are a deciding factor when the choice of a life-time profession presents itself. The same stu- dent who is seen in the library working on a term paper on Friday afternoon can be seen in a variety of places on Friday evening. Fort Wayne provides an assortment of evening and daytime entertainment for teenagers, guaranteed to keep them busy. Club members support various functions in order to assure successful activities.

E. H. S. presented The Mouse That Roared. Students Display Ability In D ramatics The house lights are out, the curtain goes up, and the play begins- However, the audience sees only the actors, students, who, hard-working as they may be, should not be given the entire credit for the success or failure of a play. Behind the scenes, there are many who contribute to the production such as: the stage managers, make-up artists, scenery crew, directors, playwriters, and promptors, all of whom help to make the play a success. Included in the yearly activities of Elmhurst are an assortment of plays, musicals, and concerts. Into these productions are channeled all the concentrated efforts of the cast and those students who work for one period every school day designing and erecting sets. The outcome is well worth the effort because Elmhurst productions are distinguished throughout the city for their workmanship in the set construc- tion and plot interpretation. Students construct sets for E. H. S. productions.
