This fall there was a big change when students returned to old EHS. All summer, work had been done remodeling the high school building. Workers had scraped all the plaster containing asbestos from the ceiling that had been damaged by leaking water. The roof had been worked on. New lighting had been installed in the halls, cafeteria and library, as well as, carpeting in the library. In October a re-dedication ceremony was held in the high school gymnasium because, as it happened, this was the 25th anniversary of the high school building. Members of the class of 1960, the first class to graduate from the building, were present. Past administrators and members of the community who were involved in the development of the new school reminisced. The band and chorus performed. A time capsule was filled with memorabilia from this year in our school. A reception and open house were held after the program in the cafeteria. 1) Lester Haskins mugs for the photographer. 2) The camera person gets a smile from Julio Torres, EHS' foreign exchange student from Brazil who lived with the Gary Van Aernam's. 3) Mr. Mossman speaks at the re-dedication ceremony. Honored guests sit on the stage. Mary Ellen Devereaux Taylor was responsible for the beautiful center piece. 4) Shelly Hackwell and Rachel Krcmarik work intently in the library. 5) Smile, Joy! 6) Carol Landon shows what can happen to someone who gets a little TOO mouthy!
