' .Je 'l'u.'enzy'fu Class of '36 Marches On With the graduation of the Class of l936. one of the largest graduating classes. approximately 230 in number. in the history of the school will forever leave the realms of our beloved C.H.S. Toward the beginning of the school year came class elections with the following persons chosen to represent the senior class: l-ouis Scott. president: Jimmie McGinty. vice-president: Irene Evans. se:- retary: Betty Pearce. treasurer: and Mr. Stewart. Miss Lycan. and Miss Kaden as sponsors. These officers and sponsors. assisted by carefully selected committees. sponsored The Halloween Masquera ade Dance and cooperated with the Junior Class in directing The Junior-Senior Tournament Dance and The Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. The announcement committee consisting of: Irene Evans as chairman, Nettie Hart. Marian M:- Kinney. George Hunt. and Luther l-ovingfoss. after much deliberation selected as fitting to our class an informal announcement carrying in silver a reproduction of the seal embossed on the auditorium curtain. The planning for Commencement. Baccalaureate. and Class Day was taken care of by the com- mencement committee. composed of Martha Myers. lrene Evans. Virginia Bowser. Charlotte Meharry. Robert H. Moore. Warren Richards. Dan Hazen. and Billy Briggs. They were ably supervised by Miss Nina Gresham and Darwin Kirby. chairman. Plans made by this committee were for speakers. music. and the programs to be followed in each case. Selection of the class memorial was undertaken as in previous years. the difhcult adaptation of our funds to an article long needed by the school. Vw'ith this small token of our appreciation do we give back to Champaign High School in payment for the many glorious adventures and experiences we have secured in our high school careers. In the line of scholastics, Darwin Kirby as valedictorian and Dan Hazen as salutorian led the class. Although closely followed by Miss Gibsons home room within a fraction of a point. Nliss Kaden's group secured the flag trophy given for the highest ranking home room. The senior share of Champaign High School's last social event of the year. the Junior-Senior dinner dance. at the new Junior High School. was undertaken by a large committee. Selection of a master of ceremonies. decorations, orchestra. floor show. speakers. chaperons. check room attendants. and ushers was -just a small part of the doings of this committee. They were: George Hunt. James Ellsworth. John Shapland. Marian McKinney. Robert Hanks. John XVoods. Reid Vwlilson. Art Nilsson. l.uther l.ovingfoss. Jimmy McGinty. Betty Pearce. lrene Evans. Martha Myers. and Louis Scott. Just preceding final exams was the much enjoyed one-day outing granted to us by our cooperating school board. Lunches and transportation were arranged for by our sponsors in cooperation with the school cafeteria. May we. the members of the Class of l936. long remember the lessons taught us in our con- tact with the many varied problems in our school life. and may our doings remain as ideals for future classes.
