Samba lace WMM? As the school year of 1947 -48 began eighteen green freshmen entered Chadwick High School to occupy the first row of seats in the Assembly. They were: Carol Schreiner, Wanda Brown, Lano Frank, Herbert Seuneff, Willis Stewart, Donna Prowant, Bemadine OISOH. Richard Janssen, Junior Adolph, Esther Isenhart, Lila Kahler, Evan Bittner, Virgil Handel, Henrietta Gordon, Richard Dambman, Roy Post, Geraldine Williams and Charles Hass, to make us the largest class in school. As Freshmen we elected Wanda Brown, President, Carol Schreiner, Secretary, and Lano Frank, Treasurer. Mrs. Bushman and Mr. Stengel were our sponsors. After leaming the tricks and trades of High School, we finally got by initiation and gave in return a Spring Festival party to the High School and although we were freshmen, it was con- sidered one of the best parties given. During the last of the year, Evan Bittner dropped out, leaving only seventeen to carry on the class. In our Sophomore year, Richard Dambman moved to Colorado. I In this year, we elected Willis Stewart, President, Bemadine Olson, Secretary, Lano, Treasurer, Wanda, Vice President and Carol as Reporter. The first high-light of our Sophomore year was initiating the Freshmen, which was done very successfully. We also visited the Dixon State Mental Hospital. After the Junior-Senior Prom we gave a party for the whole school using the decorations left us by the Juniors. Our Junior year found everyone back, plus a new member, Marilyn Janssen. At our first class meeting we elected Lano, President, Marilyn, Secretary, Dick Janssen, Treasurerg and Donna, Student Council Representative. At the beginning of the second semester we found ourselves without Donna and Lila. Now we set to work of putting on the Junior Play and raising money for the Prom. The Play was presented April 14, Oh! Brother and netted us a swell sum. May 12 we presented the Junior-Senior Prom entitled Stairway to Stars. Our Senior year we lost Junior, and Bemadine moved to Milledgeville. At our first class meeting we elected Roy, President of our merry crown with Wanda, Vice President, Henrietta, Secretary and Esther, Treasurer with Carol as Reporter. Next we set about the presentation of our Senior Play What A Life, presented on the night of November 3, under the direction of Mrs. Bushman. On December 22, we put on an all school Christmas Dance. Next we chose our class colors and flower and motto, Our Aims: Success, Our Hope: to Win. On October 11 we posed for our Famed Senior pictures. Now as we, the Seniors of 51 look back over the fond Memories of C. H.S, , we say Thanks for the Memories . . . . .
