Despite arriving three days late and without names printed on them, the 1972 Elstonians met with general approval. Leafing through them, students squealed with delight upon finding them- selves in candid shots. After glanc- ing through the book, pens were produced, and they settled down to the business of signing auto- graphs. The evening ended on a mellow note with students reliving memories of the 1971-72 school year. Upper right: Lou Scaife and Terry West- man look over the yearbookhs fine points.
