BERNARD PARENTEAU MILTON HENDRIX LOIS- KRUSE President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer CLASS HISTORY 'Way back on September 12, 1948 A.D., we seniors began our college careers as lowly fresh- men at Culver-Stockton. Through our freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years have passed many experiences, leaving with all of us mem- ories both gay and melancholy. Remember that first mixed-up Sunday when we moved into our respective dorms which were to be our homes for the next nine months? To let the other classes know that we, as a class, meant business, we gave a dance called the Club '52. Our first homecoming was wonderful: we witnessed the first game to be played by the Wildcats in the new stadium. The new library which included the Cats' Pause was dedicated: Associated Women Stu- dents, and Orchesis were organized by and for the women: and perhaps most important, THE DOME came into being. We experienced our first Flunk Day and decided it was not to be the last, and before we knew it the year was over, and on Honors Day we moved up to the sophomore seats. 1949-1950 we were on the selling end instead of the receiving end where freshman beanies were concerned. Hal McIntyre played for Home- coming, which was a big success per usual. The Physical Education Majors Club was organized. Spring came with a rush, bringing with it the fraternity and sorority dinner dances, Flunk Day. the May Fete, and finally summer vacation. The second half of our college careers began in 1950 when we became Iuniors. New band uni- forms highlighted Homecoming: Henderson Hall had its face lifted: Mrs. Giles Christmas program gave a grand send-off to Christmas vacation. The whole student body was stunned by the retire- ment of President McDonald. Mr. L. E. Ziegler was appointed President of Culver-StocktonQ Early in the spring, we sponsored the Iunior-Senior Prom in honor of the graduating Seniors. After the Prom, time just seemed to fly by. Along came Honors Day, when we-moved up to the very front of L. L. Culver Gymnasium, into the hallowed seats reserved for Seniors. 1951-1952, our Senior year, our last year in college. We were the big wheels on the campus. the ones who made the campus organizations function. Homecoming was bigger and better than ever before. Clyde McCoy played for the dance, which was so crowded there was barely room to shuffle one's feet in time to the music. A coast-to- coast hook-up broadcasted Culver-Stockton all over the United States. Hundreds of alums came back for the week-end to make this Homecoming memorable to everyone, especially us Seniors. Six of our number were elected to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. We went to the Prom as guests instead of hosts. Flunk Day - - - well, it was hard work preparing all the food, but when we remembered it was the last project we would do as a class, nobody com- plained. Baccalaureate - - our baccalaureate - - - took place the Sunday before graduation. All our parents were here to make the occasion complete for us. Graduation Day, Pomp and Circumstance, diplomas, laughter. a few tears' shed in remem- brance of carefree college days - - - all these combined to create the climax of our lives at Culver-Stockton. , ' May we have left behind us some construc- tive deeds and ideas to help those who aspire to take our places at the top of the Hill.
