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.

, ' y 4 - Ty, student Life The EHS high-schoolers experienced a unique school year in ' 64- ' 65. Trojan teens lived through many distinct incidents this year in addition to their normal studies, extra-curricular activities, sports participation, social life, and church devotion. For instance, w hen a malfunctioning lighting fixture shorted in Mr. Poor ' s room, the excited student body w aiting outside the school watched nearly a dozen fire trucks speed into the school drive. Also in the fall, Elmhurst students cheered the cross country team to the school ' s first sectional win. In November the EHS teens in their mock election elected Barry Goldwater as president. Introducing bright hall Christmas decorations intensified the student ' s holiday spirit. Drifting snow of the worst blizzard in fifty years caused Elmhurst as well as all other schools in the vicinity to be closed for two days in February. The inconveniences the construction caused and these divers single inci- dents together made ' 64- ' 65 life at EHS exciting.
