PONY EXPRESS DAYS The pony express was certainly no newer than we, the Seniors of ' 49 were when Freshmen of ' 46. But that was four long years ago, and, as did those first mail ponies of 1849 bring news of the gold rush in California, so did the Freshmen of ' 46 bring news of an up-and-coming class in 1949, just one hundred years Ister. But let ' s hop on that imaginary pony and speed through the years, each year looking at the things we accomplished and the rugged wilderness through which we struggled to reach at last the clearing. These years we can no longer call school days, but days of work, homes, families, and children. We are pioneers working into the world. It ' s 1946 and we hear that there are better opportunities open for those who continue through school, so we enroll, and try our luck at this new enterprise. To Sarah Wood and John Pioneer, the doors opening into E.H.S. were big and inviting. They elected Ralph Holbrook their leader, Dwight Parks, Arlene Hunter and Clark Olsen assistants. As the days wore on they found their adventure exciting and wondrous. The year 1947 finds Sarah and John again entering the doors of F,.H.S. determined not to feel so lost nor look so green this year. First thing on the calendar was the election of class officers. The three Dons made it, Nichols, Harrison, and Thrall. We had a good year; we gained both in knowledge and experience. We put several of our Sophomore fellows on the varsity basketball and football squads. We were beginning to be someone. We seem to be flying. Here it is 1948 and we ' re Juniors. For officers we elected Ase Rice, George Donaldson, and Dick Lopshire. Members of our class took part in the all- school play and produced a play of their own, Adam ' s Evening. Some presided at clubs or worked m the library. Others gave up school to take up housekeeping. To add to our pile of gold we sold class pins and sponsored a pie social. Now 1949 — it was a long tedious journey but we made it, John and Sarah along with the rest. Larry Giles was given the job of leading us in our most important year. Assist- ing him were Geraldine Christison, Donna Bremmer, and Don Deen. We held class meetings, quarreled over announcements and . Our pony is getting tired; he has traveled far these last few minutes. But before we stop we must add to the record Janice Baldwin, Band Sweetheart of 1949 — ' Tride and Prejudice our class play — our splendid and helpful class advisers. Miss Charlotte Swat- man and Warren Harris — our Sneak Day - — and a thousand others. And graduation night! We ' ll never forget it. It was thrilling. We ' ve struck it rich at last. 20

Wagon Train Brings CLASS OF ' 50 S. Spoor R. Cruickshank D. Harrington After the Forty-Niners had gone before us and paved the way, we, the class of ' 50 decided to venture forth into the rich fields of education and begin a new and important part of our lives. We greased the covered wagon, hitched up the teams and were off. In our freshman year we proved to the student body that we were quahfied to be a part of E. H. S. by winning the Frosh-Soph Rally. We chose Melvin Alsager to lead our wagon train with Gene Bicandi and Rex Borup assisting. M. Alsager D. Brookins J. Coburn H. DeGrange J. Ashley J. Buck D. Cofield B. De pa;n D. Beutler B. Burt R.
