Record hops and semi-f ormals enliven the EHS social year; After the busy weekly schedule at school, record hops and semi-formals were a welcome change from the m.onotonous routine for the Trojans. In the fall, the Student Council spon- sored a Twirp dance to which the girls brought their favorite ' boy. The Red Cross Club held a semi-formal in December. Cupid Capers, the annual speech club dance, was climaxed by crowning Karen McLaughlin Queen of Hearts and choosing Jane Black, Charlotte McKay, and Gloria Smith for her court. The highlight of the Trojan social year was the Junior Prom. All that everyone had hoped and planned for was swept into reality as Elmhurst students and their dates .moved through a night of enchantment. They enjoyed the formal atmosphere of the Prom while dancing to the music of a popular band. The After-Prom Party, although more informal than the Prom, proved to be the perfect ending to a perfect evening. Girls had the opportunity to ask their favorite boy to the TWIRP dance {right and above). At Cupid Capers ' Karen McLaughhn was crowned Queen of Hearts (left).

Working in her parents ' store on Saturdays, Maurane Archbold acquires new outfits for her efforts rather than a regular salary. Janice Miller {above) works at the bakery shop in Roger ' s Market and Marty Nycum (below) works in the kitchen of the Lutheran Hospital. others earn spending money In a pressurized society that places a financial responsibility on the ' teenager, many Elmhurst teens seek part-time jobs. Many students are motivated by the force of having to meet the ex- pense of a college education or a vocational education in the future. Some must help out at home. Others work to earn money for teen activities. The students who acquire after-school jobs find them a heavy weight on their academic schedules. Although some work- ers have become honor students, many high-schoolers who work find little time for homework. Those who manage both a job and school successfully have become better individuals for their efforts. In the Fort ' Wayne Public Library works Elmhutst student Beverly Bennett. Stocking shelves is one of her jobs. Seniors Sally Redding and Karen McLaughlin prepare monthly statements at Denig Cleaners. After-school employment provides an opportunity for students to meet people. ft r jMiik I BT F , fl h M 23
