SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Helen Bruner, secretary-treasurer; Tom Ewing, president; Bob Ford, vice president. Mr. McCullough, class advisor, stands in back. THE SENIOR CLASS Early in September of the year nineteen hundred and forty-nine a group of twenty-eight inquisitive and active freshmen began a history-making four years in the halls of A. C. H. S. Miss Graham was our class advisor and the following officers were elected: Bob Ford, president; Mary Robbins, vice president; Alice Begolka, secretary; Helen Bruner, treasurer. Kent Young and Sally Givens were our student council representatives. On September the nineteenth the senior class tried in every way possible to subdue our stubborn spirits with their brainstorm tortures. In the homecoming parade our float, the theme of which was Beat the Meat Prices , was awarded third place. Along the line of sports our freshman team placed second in the basketball intramural tournament. Serving as attendants to the annual prom king and queen were Russell Miller and Alice Begolka. Starting our sophomore year we found that we still had the same number in our class. This year our class sponsor was Mr. Peeler. The otiicexs who were elected were: Bob Ford, president; Kent Young, vice president; Dane Canfield, secretary-treasurer; Alice Begolka and Raymond Lees-man, student council representatives. Joan Harris was nominated as our homecoming queen candidate. This year our All-Stars won first place in the basketball intramural tournament. As our attendants to the King and Queen of the prom this year we chose Dane Canfield and Sally Givens. During this year we were sorry to lose Mary Robbins, Helen Logsdon, Marian Renfrow, and Raymie Leesman. We welcomed into our midst Harold Harris. Beginning our junior year we found ourselves guided capably by Mrs. Glenn Nichols and Miss Barbara Downing. The officers elected for this year were: Jack Ban, president; Kent Young, vice president; Helen Bruner, secretary; Alice Begolka, treasurer; Russell Miller and Joan Cook, student council representatives. Sally Givens was homecoming queen representative and the theme of our float was Make Hay While the Son Shines . We were happy to win first place in the parade. We ordered our rings on September 23, and they arrived on November 19. This year, as last, we won first place in our intramural basketball tourney. Our play was entitled The Campbells Are Coming . Wc played twice to a capacity crowd and broke all records for profit. We celebrated the production by journeying to Lincoln for dinner and a show. The highlight of the year was the annual prom—the gym being decorated in accordance with the colonial, flower garden, and wishing well themes. The attendants to the King and Queen were Tommy Ewing and Alice Begolka. During the junior year our class decreased with the loss of Albert Adams, Doris Beck, Kenneth Leesman, Wayne Leesman, and Nancy Chrisman. Wc were happy to welcome Raymie Leesman back from the Lone Star State . In our final and glorious year at A. C. H. S. we were guided by Mr. McCullough and our able president. Tommy Ewing. The other officers for this memorable year were: Bob Ford, vice president; Helen Bruner, secretary-treasurer; Joan Cook, Sally Givens, and Alice Begolka, student council representatives. To start the year off wc gave a party for the high school and the entertainment was provided by the green freshies . At the homecoming Joan Cook was our queen representative. Our float, The March of Time , won first prize. Our play, which brought in even a larger crowd than our record-breaking production of last year was entitled Everybody's Crazy . The cast journeyed to Bloomington for a dinner at Tobin's Ranch House. We journeyed to Bloomington to have our pictures taken on Oct. 14, after which we took our first tour of the year through the Purina Factory. We were happy to receive our pictures by Christmas. Shortly after the trip we selected our invitations and name cards. Helen Bruner received the D. A. R. award. On March 24 wc attended a session of the State legislature in Springfield where we were introduced in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. As Junior Good Citizen candidates we elected Dane Canfield, Tom Ewing, Sally Givens, and Alice Begolka. We were very happy to be able to plant two trees as memorials to the school; at the dedication ceremony a resolution was read by Tommy Ewing to the effect that the class would meet under these trees to celebrate the tenth, twentieth, and twenty-fifth anniversaries of our graduation. At this ceremony Sally Givens was elected corresponding secretary of the class. In closing the year we certainly all enjoyed the prom and banquet given us by the juniors on May 9. Crowned King and Queen of the prom were Sally Givens and Kent Young. Baccalaureate was on Sunday, May 17, at the Methodist Church. When graduation time came on May 22 there were twenty-one brighter students, happily leaving the hallowed halls of A. C. H. S. Leading our class as valedictorian was Sally Givens, and the salutatorian was Jack Barr. Compliments of WRIGHT FUNERAL HOME Lincoln, Illinois
