A packed room of past sports figures from ERHS alumni gathered in their alma mater's cafeteria to witness the induction of four athletic standouts into the hall of fame. The four were track and football great Bob Jones , S'63(probably the best all-around athlete ever to graduate from the school); W'63 grad Richard Lindsey; Tom Byrnes(S'55) and 1995 swimming great Russell Perkins. Jones still hold many school records in track after 50 years and went on to an illustrious football career at Occidental College, leading the Tigers to become one of the top teams in the college ranks. Chairperson Gale Fullerton hosted the event and made introductions. After a light supper and induction ceremonies honoraries were paraded around the football field in classic cars as grand marshalls to the cheers of the crowd at the football stadium. Alumns were treated to a win by the Eagles football team against Marshall after homecoming ceremonies. The Eagles remained undefeated after the win. Among those attending were former coaches Sonya Most, Mike Houlimard and former AD Mike Lomen and former HS principal and ER grad Dana Wyatt.
