EL PUHTAL STAEE BEAEHES GU!-XL HIS year as it has heen in the past, a group of Senior Students were organized as an EI Portal staff. This stall? worlced untiringly throughout the year in order to reenact events and activities for the Tracy High student hody. The statli have recorded all im ortant events in this hoolc and are proud to have served their high school. Mr. Emory Boughton, Pliracy photographer, helped the El Portal stall a great deal.
