Friday, May 15, was Senior Day
in Elgin High Sckool. To celebrate
the seniors went to Barton Springs
in Austin. The day was enjoyed by
the group by swimming and seeing
various parts of the city. At noon a
delicious picnic-lunch, consisting cf
assorted sandwiches, pickles, olives,
stuffed eggs, potato chips and cookies
and fruit was served. After a most
pleasant time, the seniors together
with the chaperons, Mr. and Mrs.
Watson, Mrs. Bremond Wood, Mrs.
Sadie McCullough, and Mrs. Oscar
Bengston, returned home, wishing
Senior Days came more often.

At ten o’clock, Friday morning
two young men were sent on the very
important mission of finding a school
seal. They set out fully aware of the
dangers to be encountered on the
quest, but they dismissed all fear just
as the great Sir Galahad did when he
went to hunt the Holy Grail.
Realizing that information was
needed sorely to get on the right path
toward the desired seal, they went to
the secretary of the Elgin High
School board. Here just like the
Holy Grail hunters of old, they met
the disappointments of failure. He
had no idea of where such an instru-

ZANE of the lowest priced and most economical cars
U in the world today stands in a class by itself for
sheer performance and driving pleasure. Over two and a
half million American motorists have swung to it in less
than four years. Over one million chose it in 1935 alone.
That car is the Ford V-8. Now we urge you to drive
this great new 1936 Ford V-8 before you decide on any
car at any price. We urge you to know for yourself the
“feel” of Ford V-8 engine performance—the almost effort-
less ease of handling—the remarkable stability under all
road conditions—the true fine-car riding comfort—which
have “taken hold” so convincingly with the hardest-
buying audience that ever tested America’s cars.
Ask your Ford Dealer for a car to try. You don’t
really know a Ford V-8 until you drive one. And you can’t
judge modern car values until you know the Ford V-8!
Everyone is so busy we can’t get
them to answer their telephones, so
if we leave out any news we can’t
help it. Please rino your corres-
pondent or get the message here
‘some way. Thank you.

These young men then racked their
great brains to find a possible way
to get on the right track of the lost
instrument. After strenuous deep
thinking, their fertile minds manu-
factured the wonderful thought of
substituting another seal in the place
of the one they were seeking. Hence
they departed to the mayor’s office
and asked the presiding mayor, with
due dignity, if it were possible to
use his honored seal for the good of
the school. Having a good sense of
loyalty, the mayor granted the re-
quest. Thus the quest ended with no
