The United States suffered a great loss in men and ships. The whole nation went into a state of emergency and shock. However, national affairs didn't affect our own years in high school. The older brothers went to the service and were injured, died or were discharged. The year the class of '51 entered high school, homecoming was celebrated for the first time. It was to be celebrated annually from then on. Queens for all the classes were chosen. A big parade and a football game concluded the festivities. Our freshman year, Mendota High School was observed closely by educators of Illinois with much interest. Diversified occupation which is a course of vocational arts was introduced. The student could learn a trade to better find a job in his field, Mendota High School was a forerunner in this area. The school earned much publicity and many su- perintendents and principals visited the school to see the program functioning. With the fine co- operation of the business men of the town, the boys and the girls learned many trades and profes- sions. As sophomores we were allowed to pick our class rings and were able to wear them for two years in school. That was the first time this was done. There were twenty-two girls in the Latin II class, and it was nicknamed the Nomen Class . This was the year of the beginning of the Latin Club, too. The boys were very busy too, They played hard fought football and won the championship of the Southwest division of the North Central Conference. .As seniors, the Trojans placed first again in the Southwest division losing only one game. Remember in basketball at the regional tourna- ment at Princeton our thrilling victory over L-P-O? Who could forget that as one of our fond memories of our senior years? Graduation night came with all its joys and sorrows. We knew we'd never be together as a group again. We have scattered to the four winds. Some have become service personnel, others nur- ses, doctors, teachers and citizens of note. But everyone of us carries fond memories of our days at MHS. -Marna Brewbaker Bauer -1951 Norman Inman Elaine Iewel Donald Iones David L.
