Carroll, Illinois ALVIN SMITH Andrews, Indiana The elevator to success is not runningg take the stairs has been the motto of the class of '47 for the three years that we have been at H.C. Many times during the past year the members have looked longingly for an elevator but we have kept trudging on until now our first goal is in sight at the top of the next flight. Encouraging the class were Bill Stitely, President, jean Yonkers, VicefPresidentg Phyllis Stoffel, Secretary, and Laurell Hendee, Treasurer. When Bill did not remain for the second semester, Jean was elected President and Wilbur Ackerman took over as VicefPresident. Looking over the class we discovered only seven ref mained with us of the original number but we felt inf vigorated by the new members. When the page of the

Senior Class H. C. Spring, '46 Dear Donna, Well, here we are, the class of '46 ready to go out from the halls of our ole Alma Mater and go our separate ways in the world. It makes me feel sorta sad- there are members of our class we may never see again--friends we have made dur' ing the last few, years and whom we shall nexer forget. There are only a few of us left to graduate from that large group of greenies . Remember what a grand class we had? They came from all over the United States-Pa., Miss., Ohio, Va., Mich., Ill., Ind., Wash.-we drew them from coast to coast. How green we were for awhile that year-just like all Froshies . But remember what a gallant fight we put up, trying to fly our flag and how bravely we battled against great odds in the Tugf o'fWar ? And what a sight we were on Freshman Day---but we loved every minute of it. Everything was very new and very different, and for awhile we were at a loss, but remember how well Clayt, our president, steered us through the rough places? However, in the spring large numbers of our male members were called into the service and by the end of the year, we knew our Soph year would find our ranks greatly depleted, which is exactly what happened. Nearly all the men were gone into the service and some of the women decided married life was preferable to school. So, we tackled the increased problems of our Soph year with a smaller band. Now, we could stand by and laugh at the greenies . Now we could heckle the Froshies on Freshman Day and win the Tugfo'fWar, which we did. This year the Hayrack Ride, the Washington Banquet and other activities had lost some of their glamour-we were one of the HC. family now. Our junior year found our ranks more depleted than ever ,and a year of more work ahead of us. Now we were upper classmen, people to be looked up to at last. How hard we worked at the Junior Penny Suppers and what fun we had afterwards. I wish you could have been here then. We enjoyed preparing for our Jr.fSr. Reception as much as participating in it. But we were saddened to hear so much bad news from our friends in the service and of the death of our President. On the other hand, we were gladdened to hear the good news from the European front. Then came our Senior year. A great many of the faces from our Frosh class were missing now and ours was a tiny class. But we inherited a few of the many veterans who had returnued and we sailed valiantly on. We started the year with renewed vigor. The war was over, our minds rested easier. It was with a note of sadness that we would say 'This is our last Hayrack Ride, our last Thanksgiving Ban' quet, our last Washington Banquetf And often we wished for our old gang. But now we are ready to face life in its larger aspects and as we go, we will remember HC. with a spot of tenderness in our hearts. Your loving friend, Minnie 23

Junior Class 19454946 year turned, we found a new semester and a good many returned servicemen to help us on to success, after having gallantly offered their lives to maintain our freedom. With entertaining the Frosh, racking our brains to find bright ideas for the Junior Penny Suppers, seeing that basketball fans were well fed, and finally giving a farewell banquet to the departing Seniors the year was filled to the brim. At its close we look regretfully back at the fleeting days and yet long for the time when we shall be wearing the caps and gowns on Commencement Day. We sincerely hope that the coming Juniors may have many prosperous and happy times as we move on to the rank of Seniors.
