SENIOR HISTORY In early fall of 1952 Arcola High School was honored by the arrival of h9 green, spanking new, eager, intelligent, and curious Freshman. The pack was lead by: president, Dean Sanders, vice-president, Phyllis Vickroyg secretary, Dee Lindenmeyerg and treasurer, Denney Johnson. The pack was held in check by Mrs. Hanson, and Mr. Carpenter. PHghlites of this introductory year included: Homecoming, when the first of four lousey floats was nRocket to Victory,' and Carol Bilbrey was our Queen Attendant, the semester exams, which we faced dreadingly and courageouslyg a bang-up party at the Mattoon Skating Rink, and a sizzling wiener roast. In 1953 we returned with the newness worn off, and feel- ing quite cocky. President, Dean Sanders, vice-president, Jack Fishelg secretary, Phyllis Vickroy, treasurer, Denney Johnson, sponsors, Miss Ballein and Mr. Davis, were taking on quite a task in keeping this clan of A3 in order. Our float, WFlush Down the Oaks,n was our 'ace in the hole.' We had another spine tingling party in the high school gym. Con- clusion of this year placed us at the half-way point of our battle. Next we were to undertake, perhaps, the most active year of our high school career. Leading us in these activities were: Dean Sanders, president, Jack Fishel, vice-president John VanVoorhis, secretary, co-treasurers, Phyllis Vickroy and Dee Lindenmeyer. Only 38 were left to undertake this second- half of our mission. Naturally, our Homecoming float was an underdog, but due to faulty weather conditions we didn't win anything. Our Queen Attendant was Gayle Evans. Our class rin we all agreed, were exceptionally pretty and as practical as the deflated pocket-book they represented. Magazine sales- presented a way in which to restore this deflation. This was probably our biggest money making project throughout high school. Our class play 'Good Night Ladies,W directed by Miss Whitson, was enjoyable to all the on-lockers and loads of good clean fun for the cast. The year was highlighted by the Junior-Senior Prom at the YMCA at Champaign-Urbana. This rang our 'register' to the tune of S600.00, but we thought it was well worth its while. In 1955, thirty-five seniors returned to finish their high school career. For our last year we chose: Jack Fishel, president, Dee Lindenmeyer, vice-president, Mary Key, secre- tary, Elby Wallace and Roger Foss, co-treasurersg as our offi- cers. Our final float in the Homecoming parade followed the pattern of the first three, which won nothing. Homecoming Festivities were highlighted with the crowning of Wilma Key as Queen. Joann was our Senior Attendent. Our senior class play, 'Coddled Egbert,' was as original as the money it made. Mr. Stone was our director. We netted 3.22 PLUS from this production. For the remaining of the year we are saving our money to take a trip to the Ozarks. None of us are sure what is ahead of us, but we are eager and willing to find out.
