THE THEIIIE DF lIGH'I'5 Light is the imponderable agent by which objects are rendered visible to man, a race which is greatly influenced by illuminating and enlightening forces. We, the 1942 Tattler Staff, in order to reveal both pictorially and editorially the various phases of school life at E. H. S., have used Lights as the theme. As light transforms a darkened room, so the light of education and understanding transforms an inexperi- enced mind. We, the shining examples of youth and future posterity, have averted our paths from the dreaded shadow of ignorance and enveloped ourselves in the brilliant light of intelligence. With these thoughts in mind while preparing the twentieth edition of the Tattler, we, the staff, have correlated a singular light to a particular phase of education. 1942

It will be pleasant to remember these things here- after. All the things, individual and collective, curri- cular and extra-curricular, unique and commonplace, which occupied and entertained us, the class of l942, and surrounded us, excited and depressed us during our four years at E. H. S.-the fellow students, known and unknowng the teachers: the classes: the clubs, the victories and their heroes: the incomprehensible defeats, the building itself with its familiar rooms, halls, and gymnasium where many happy hours were spent, which changed from a new adventure to a familiar routine-all these will be pleasant to remember after your alma mater fades into the distance. Let your memories be guided by the I942 Tattler.

CCNTENTS BEACON LIGHTS These lights represent the admonishing and guiding forces of our Schoolf the faculty and the administrators. During our high school career, we felt free to approach these friends with our troubles and always received the necessary help and guidance. HEAD LIGHTS Under the symbol of these lights We exhibit the four classes-senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman-who fulfilled the tasks, played the pranks, and enjoyed each others fellowship during the sojourn with our Alma Mater. SIDE LIGHTS These lights represent the extrafcurricular activities and clubs which are offered to the students. Whether interest lies in music, art, journalism, dramatics, or student government, the varied selection offered to the students is suilicient to meet their demands. STAR LIGHTS These brilliant lights represent the galaxies of athletes who boosted the reputation of our school, and at the same time built for themselves keen minds, healthy bodies, and reserves of energy to use for mankind and for their country. NEON LIGHTS Under the symbol of these lights we have placed in classihed ad form the business and professional enterprises which have contributed generously, not only for personal gain through the medium of advertising, but to assist financially in making this annual a success.
