MR. GEORGE L. TURCOTT, Principal.
Any institution, to be successful, must have a superior leader. We, the students of Elko County High School, look to our principal, Mr. George L. Turcott. It is he wno most ably shows us where and how to distribute our energies so that we may gain the utmost from our education, and it is he who maintains our most efficient school organization. £ckccl £var4
These three, Mrs. Stout, Mr. Gennette, and Mr. Agee (not pictured), have served on the board of education for two years. Their job is a hard one, but in this time they have proved themselves well qualified, efficient, understanding, and considerate. We are indeed for tunate to have such a capable group to guide us in that most important undertaking, our secondary education.

Our student body officers, Charles Evans, president; Jack Sullivan, vice- president; Marie Davidson, secretary; and Theo Henry, treasurer, have justi fied our faith in them. Elected by the student body in May of 1943, their lead ership throughout the term inspired our loyalty and promoted our enthusiasm. They co-ordinated all of our efforts to make this year, one in which war greatly curtailed activities seemingly essential in previous years, a time of greater im provement, more activity, and more fun.

Making the arrangements for one of our largest dances is no easy task, but the girls drafted a few senior boys for the heavy work and proved themselves capable of handling the Ball most efficiently. Each class elected a candidate for Queen of the Harvest Ball.

Mr. Cluff, director, was a new member of the faculty last September, but he and his musi cians soon became well acquainted. Their first large- scale performance was the annual Thanksgiving Festival. All the band members pitched in and worked out a program never before equalled in our JOAN REINHART, Secretary-Treasurer. school. They presented a "Music for Morale" concert and Mid-Season and Spring concerts, all very well received by the townspeople. Officers for the year were the band manager, Don Fields, and secretary- treasurer, Joan Reinhart. This organization has every reason for anticipating an enjoyable and fruitful year in 1945. JACK McCULLOCH, Drum Major. hrum tftajor and tylajoretteJ The band, when marching, was preceded by Jack McCulloch, tall and capable drum major, and seven smart drum majorettes headed by Donna Pease. Jack handled the band maneuvers at the Thanksgiving Festival while the girls announced each number with a jingle spoken in unison. The effect was new and different and was appreciated by all. The majorettes also displayed their talents between the halves of several basketball games and at the "Varsity Show." This galaxy of baton twirlers added just the right touch to an excellent band.

The Boys' Glee gave several noteworthy performances during the year. Likewise, the Girls' Glee, with a number of BESSIE HUTCHINSON, President. important appearances to their credit, did much to add to the musical activities of the year. This group showed its versatility by commendably performing all types of vocal music, popular as well as serious. President of the Boys' Glee was Jack Sullivan, while tha Girls' Glee chose Bessie Hutchinson as their executive officer. By combining these two groups, M.\ Cluff was able to have a splendid Mixed Chorus which performed for the Christmas program, the "Music for Morale" concert and the Spring concert.

The Navy's McBride and Sullivan. £op/tomoreJ Alyn Brennen (President), Aivin McCuistion (Vice-President), Dorothy Garteiz (Representative), Richard Combs (Representative), June Davidson (Secretary-Treasurer). Last year this class graduated—from freshmen to sophomores—and began to fit into and become a real part of Elko High. They held their class party in the gym where they danced, played games, and made short work of the refreshments. The freshmen beat them in interclass basketball, but this was only fair after "Field Day." The sophomores were well repre sented in all school activities. Their officers were Alyn Brennen, president; Alvin McCuisition, vice-president; and June Davidson, secretary-treasurer. The class of '45 will long remember this year.

Juniors Alice Gabiola (Secretary-Treasurer), Jack Hull (President), Max Wignall (Vice-President), Dorothy Gennette (Representative), Ray Merkley (Representative) The class of '45 is an outstanding one, and was well represented in all student body activities. Its interclass basketball team came close to winning the cup, but the seniors nosed them out by a narrow margin. The Junior Prom, held on April 15th, was one of the most impressive ever seen at Elko High. Theme for the Prom was "Winter Wonderland." The class also produced a number of unknown thespians when the junior play, "No Mind of Her Own," was pre sented. This hilarious comedy was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, and the class is looking forward to their senior play. . . . Unfortunately, the class of '45 is gradually becoming smaller. Next year many of the boys will be forced to leave for the service, and Jack Hull, class president, will graduate with the class of '44. We wish them all a great deal of luck. . . . Accomplishments dur ing the year were largely due to the untiring efforts of class officers: Jack Hull, president; Max Wignall, vice-president; and Alice Gabiola, secretary-treasurer.

The seniors began their year with a well-planned "Get-together Dance." Next came the senior play, "Three Cornered Moon," directed by Mr. Brome. Nine seniors took part in it and kept the audience howling with laughter throughout. The senior assembly staged by the class was a "wow." Its title, "Hellzapoppin, Jr.", was appropriate, though "Jr." may be an understate ment. For the third consecutive year the interclass basketball championship fell to the class of '44, giv ing them permanent possession of the trophy. The Senior Ball surpassed even the Junior Prom, or so the seniors say. Efficient officers led the class. They were: Jack McCulloch, president; Robert Pearce, vice- president; Barbara Bardsley, secretary (not pictured); and Beth lind, treasurer.

They are the men and women who are working, fighting, and enduring un believable hardships so that both they and we here at home may, when victory is ours, have all the opportunities and privileges that are part of a true democracy. Victory will bring a world far different from the one we have known, a world in which the airplane will not be a luxury enjoyed by a few, but a means of transportation as vital to our existence as is the automobile today. The men and women now in the various services of our country will have a definite place in the AIR AGE. Knowing that such cou'ageous warriors will be the leaders in post-war America, and confident that they will be no less courageous in peace-time activities, we are surely justified in facing the future with a great optimism.
