Senior Class of DeLand -Weldon Senior High Beginning our sophomore year, we entered DeLand -Weldon Senior High with 31 members. During the year, we lost Herbert Burton, who enlisted in the Navy; Joe Tool, who moved to Rantoul; Edward King, who moved to Mt. Pulaski; Marie Watkins, who moved to Clinton; and Janet Lashbrook, who dropped out of school. Evelyn Hoops, who came from Clinton, joined our class in the spring of 51. We also lost Doris Ann Webb, who moved to Rock Island at the end of our sophomore year. Starting our junior year, we had 26 members in our class. This was a big year for us as we ordered our class rings and planned the Junior-Senior Prom. During the year, we lost two members: Bob Norton, who joined the Navy; and Agnes Wilson, who moved to Normal. At the end of our junior year, we lost Margaret Gantz, who is attending school at Monticello College in Godfrey, Illinois. With great enthusiasm, we entered our senior year. We gained one new member, Bill Swanstrom, who came from Ellsworth. The highlights of the year were ordering pictures and and invitations, and working on our annual. Our final event is graduation. Then we ' ll pause to think of all the joy our class has gone through together and all we have to look forward to.
