We, the seniors of 1957, found that with the honor of being a senior went the requirements of a senior. Our previous three years had been one of following-following the seniors before us-but now we were the big warriors. Knowing that our actions would leave an indelible mark upon the underclass- men, we strived to do well. As freshmen we knew it was the responsibility of seniors to run the clubs and direct the activities. We looked up to them for almost everything, and it was through them we learned. Our sophomore year will hold a special place in our book of memories. As freshmen we had given the semblance of courage but this faded during initiation. We were not really frightened but instead I'ea'ized how wonderful it was to belong and be part of this vast Comanche heritage. We truly acquired adult study habits and be- haviors as juniors. This was important because we were given the responsibility of giving the junior and senior prom. Most of the money for this was acquired from our newly-established concession stand, our trading post. Here people traded their money for Whatever wares we had available. Now we are seniors. It seems like only yes- terday, but it was many moons ago that we first set foot on these friendly grounds and today we are leaving. Happily We look at what lies ahead, and sadly we remember what we must leave behind -four wonderful years well worth remembering.

Bill Bualte, John Levin. Ronnie McEnlire, Gary McBride, Cecil Comte, Bob Sims. we juniors polished the rough spots - smooth sailing ahead Our generation of hard-working Juniors were re- warded with a successful prom and the satisfaction that comes with a job well done. As juniors we were active and were the back- bone of many clubs and sports. We remember selling magazine subscriptions and working at athletic games which were among the many things We did to raise money for our class. We remember our Homecoming float, a model of a little red school house, a flustered school teacher and her class of unruly students. Cahokia held its second mock residential election P that year. Here, too, we Juniors were busy making osters or re arin olitical s eeches for our favorite P P P 8 P P presidential candidates. Aside from the activities we will remember our junior subjects and teachers. Mr. Froman will be remembered for his experiments with explosives and the various concoctions he produced. Miss Huffman had a gem of a quotation which she related as belonging to a college student: If I'da know'd I coulda rode, I woulda went. Parlez-vous-francais. If you were in the French class conducted by Mr. Mayer, you should be able to. And American History was made a pleasure by Mr. Wirth's friendly method of teaching. We liked his favorite word, twict. Does this sound familiar? The jug did greet the jury. Typing students may recall having made such a mistake. And did you know as -l- ba : Ca -l- bl C212 - ab -l- b2D. Neither did advanced algebra students until Mr. Sachs saturated our minds with algebraic designs. just one penny became a popular phrase in general business class and juggling the books be- came a fad. That was our junior year. Next year, as Seniors, our duty will be to inform and guide the new Juniors in performing their duties as Seniors before us have done.
