 oneu oncll . . THROUGHOUT our high school careers we have been making vivid mental scrapbooks of the many varied experiences in classes, in activities, and in athletics; experiences which have meant so much to us all—quiet moments in the library, infectious enthusiasms on Gill Field and in the Auditorium, solemn ceremonies of installation, hilarious comedies of class plays and operettas, these and many others climaxed by the thrill of the prom and, finally, graduation. That these memories may not grow dim, all during this last year we have been busy with camera, scissors, and pen, preserving these scraps’’ of high school life. The selection of these scraps was governed by a desire to represent school life as it appears to the average student, and thus resulted a subordination of pictures of individuals. Lest we forget, we have included also favorite songs and yells, and even mapped the area wherein these experiences occurred. Because the record is always incomplete, there is provided at the end an envelope for the preservation of additional pictures, programs, or clippings. We can only hope that, as the years recede, this book will fulfill our desire to refresh the memories of student days at Isaac C. Elston High School. Thus we present the 1939 Elstonian.
