In this twentieth century broadcasting is one of the great achievements in science. Because of theimportant part brwdcasting plays in our lives, we propose to show in this edition of the Crescent, the possibilities of broadcasting the activities of the students and faculty of the Elwood High School. We of the Crescent staff ask you to join us as we pre- sent, by word and picture, an imaginary broadcast of the events and happenings of the school year of 1940-41. As my first duty, I have the privilege of giving the dedi- cation of our book.

ELWOOD HIGH SCHOOL Dorotha Ann l-lancher will now give you a description of our high school. Thank you, Dorothy, and good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, It is my great pleasure to usher you through our high school. The structure looks so magnificent that I am sure you wish to stop to see the inside. The lawn is spacious and very beautifully dressed in its green grass with the proud trees and shrubs lending more beauty. Over all of this splendor the flag waves majes- tically. The front of the building consists largely of windows with glass doors marking the entrance. The wide stairway leads into a friendly hall with a floor covered in dark red and green. At the top of the stairs loom two large oak doors leading into an auditorium. Over these doors hangs a beautiful white statue the Winged Victory. On either side of the auditorium doors are cases. One is the trophy case displaying the trophies the school has won. The students look on this with pride. The other case is used to display class projects and many other items. One thing that seems a spot of interest is the large bulle- tin board. which has everything on it from notes someone has found, to class announce- ments. The office of the principal and attendance keeper is over the front stairs with two short stairways on each side over which are small statues done in white. We are especially impressed by the method we employ in using the main stairways. The one on our left is the up stairs and the one on the right is the down stairs. This is done, as we know, to insure convenience while changing classes. The most impressive room of the building is the library, which is found near the au- ditorium. It is a large, many windowed room filled with comfortable tables and chairs. Nearly all of the three walls are lined with books ranging from science to romantic novels. In the wall to the right, above the shelves, is a beautiful frieze also made of white. Around the room are busts, statues, and pictures, which all go to make up this beautiful well-kept room. Nearly all of the rooms and the study halls are the scenes of much gaiety and study. The chemistry room is interesting with all of its mysterious bottles and appara- tus. Across the hall from the chmistry room, we find a room completely dark. This is where classroom movies are shown. We are also proud of the shop, where boys learn many things about wood and metal craft. The sewing and cooking rooms, where girls were learning to sew and to make delicious goodies, are also interesting. The last place we shall take you is to the old gymnasium. This is where parties and dances are held. It is an excellent recreational room. Now that you have seen our high school, we hope that you feel that it would be a great pleasure to attend school here Where the building looks so magnificent and in- viting. ELwooD HIGH scHooL 6
