Pioneering editions usher in new era at EHS The advent of the first EHS literary magazine, the lljan, and a refined Anlibrum set important precedents in 1965. Both publications exemplified the forward-thinking aspect of Elmhurst. Editing the llian during the second semester was Mrs. Decker ' s fourth-period senior English class (left). Joe Loughmiller served as chief editor of this first edition which included essays, poetry, and satires contributed by EHS pupils. Bulldozers framed in the windows, the 1965 Anlibrum staff commenced its work in the stuffy Annie Room (below), previously a biology storage room. Ideas of innovation were born and acted upon. The staff chose to produce a full, factual yearbook covering the progress of the betterment of Elmhurst High School in 1965. Yearbook and newspaper staffs in the future will have the advantages of a large room in which to work, a darkroom, and a full-time publications instructor. 10

Young Student Council prepares EHS teens for their futures in our Republic A one-year-old Elmhurst Student Council began functioning as an efficient organization in ' 64- ' 65. Set up as a representative group elected by the student body, the Student Council provided an insight into student government and gave its mem- bers valuable experience and leadership training. The Council accomplished several worthy projects this year. For example, a project of laying a stone walk across the parking lot (right) was a first step in getting the entire muddy lot surfaced. President Dave Dean (below) led discussions that brought out student opinion on school matters. 11
