P anned To our Administrators we owe a hearty thanks for their unselfish efforts to make this year a bet- ter one. Thus at the close of another year at E.U.H.S. we may certainly point with pride to the alleg- iance of the people we have learned to know, not only as teachers, principals and board members, but lifetime friends to be re- membered in the years to come. ,Q af' J ,, J.

BILL RADNEY pauses in in the latest issue of the Cougar' front of the Administration office for .wqhr I a word of greeting to a new student All of us want to achieve success. We think and make Plans to gain future goals, We have the ambition to get ahead, This is a driving force that helps us to keep going. However, we sometimes see people with such driving ambi- tions that they become selfish and narrow in their goals. So, ambition needs to be tempered with kind- ness and concern for others, Actually this is worthwhile, because success is rarely achieved by oneself without the help, understanding and support of others. As we become concerned with what is best for our whole group, we are thereby strengthened and our wisdom is broadened until in the end we can meet greater achievement. ln parting, we wish the members of the class Of l956 all the Success in the world in their future endeavors. Sincerely, W. P. Rodney, Principal li elf W'li :ll f Q

!'f V' 41? student. Dear Cougars: The l955-56 school year at E. U. H. S. has become a part of our proud history, Once again our students have won honors and distinction for themselves, their school, and their community by their many fine accomplishments. Now that another has passed, it might be well to make a self evaluation. The key question for you to answer is Have I really done my very best? Whether it be in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in some other activity, only you can answer this quesg tion, Your classmates and teachers may draw some fairly accurate conclusions as a result of your per- t 's lllanagemen t AN UNTIRING STAFF of conscientious workers , appeared as we entered the double doors that open into the main office. T In this office we found the faculty busy typing tests, fighting their way to the ditto machine, and talking over our grades. Our Board of Trustees were confronted with dif- ficult problems this year, but these civic - minded men solved them with . Wy! fairness. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT BUD QUADE interrupts a busy schedule to talk with a formance, but the final answer rests with you, And so it will be for the rest of your life. To do your very best you must be constantly competing with yourself to put forth a peak effort, and in that way your regrets will be few in number. Do not spend a single second in useless regret. But rather, remember that one can expect future bless- ings only to the degree in which he is thankful for what has occurred in the past. Make yourselves worthy of success and happiness, and they surely will gravitate to you. Sincerely, G. W. Quade

Mrs. Houck and Mr. Calac ,, 4 ALWAYS READY and willing to tackle a tough or unexpected task, Mr, Ed Roy and Mr. .lim Ahler sparked each others enthusiasm as they shared the job of Vice-Principal The office arrangement was un- usual this year with Mr. Ahler situated in the band practice rooms at City Campus.
