Assuming the responsibilities of a hall monitor, Catie Greenler re- views for a test at her post. Studying is a valuable asset to every student ' s school life. Here Suzanne Ketzler completes her sociology work. E H S teens devote time to preparing assignments The churning of thought waves alivened an otherwise silent room. The mood was wondering, anticipating, eager, and very apprehensive. Pencils scratched, pens glided, pages were scanned, note- books were filled, questions were answered, problems solved and knowledge attained. Many times during the year, lamps were left burning until the wee hours of the morning, until that chapter in social studies was read one last time. Lab reports were to be turned in, English essays were completed, term papers were due and then wearily to bed . . . Satisfaction, learning, and extra money were the main motives of the many Trojans who had part-time jobs. But a part-time job meant much more than just this to each student who occupied his time in this manner. The j ersonal experience gained from a part-time job was almost as inval- uable as formal education. It taught responsibility, imparted an increased sense of value, and made the student aware of the huge importance of human relations. Students came in contact with the business world and learned the importance of competition. They realized that to keep their job meant to strive for perfection in doing it. Diligently working on their class assignments, Trojans enjoy the freshness of a bright new study hall.

Students gain satisfaction through volunteer work Participating in a rewarding experience, Carolyn Freeh serves her community while working at Lutheran Hospital as a volunteer. Happy satisfaction was the mood which filled the hearts of EHS teenagers who took time out of their busy schedules to serve their community. Many girls spent long hours serving as candy stripers in the local hospitals, or working at the State School. Y-Teen members cared for the children whose parents visited the Christ Child Festival during the Christmas sea- son and gave an Easter Egg Hunt for the Allen County Chil- dren ' s Home. Students represented Elmhurst on the Allen County Safety Council and the High School Heart Board. A large number of Trojans donated their efforts to aiding Elmhurst ' s busy faculty. FTA members used part of their spare time to grade papers for teachers. This service not only was appreciated by the teachers, but gave the club members a chance to gain useful experience for their future professions. Others assisted by collecting absence slips and helping in the office. An extremely important job at Elmhurst was that of being a hall monitor. Their duty was to assist any visitors who were in the school building and see that order was kept in the halls. ■■ ' ■•■ ' ,■»«■■« if Susie Exner and Greg Pease of the Allen County Teenage Safety Council accept an award for exceptional safety practices.
