Class Histor On September I+, 1950, the halls of EXJHS were filled with its mny students, among whom were twenty-two freshmen. The class, sponsored by Alice Self , held a meeting and elected as its leaders: Sandra Smith, president 3 Don Hinds, vice- presidentg Ann Smith, secretaryg and Doris Awe, treasurer. Initiation found the freshmen dressed as Indians , the girls carrying dolls on their backs, and the boys carrying hatcheta in their belts. At the end of the year the class boasted a sum of 316.56 in their treasury, the proceeds from the Homecoming concessions. Frances Payne was the class' candidate for Homecoming queen. Twenty sophomores came back to school in the autumn of 1951. They nre more at home now and went about their work in an organized manner. The class chose Gladys lee Litterly as president, Al Rollet, vice-president: and Sandra Smith, secretary-treasurer: Miss Neill was our sponsor. Our class treasury held 3100.15 , resulting from profit at Homecoming. We were honored by having our candidate , lhrgaret Tierney, named queen of Homecoming. Our class sponsored an all-school party inuthe gymnasium on April l8, 1952. For our class trip we went to St. Louis on lhy 2 . In September 1952, thirteen Juniors were seen going to their classes. They were going to be big shots next year, and they knew it. At the first class meeting these officers were elected: Doris Awe, president, Bill Stoltzenburg, vice-president, and Don Hinds, secretary-treasurer: Joseph Grohovsky was sponsor. The class play, Rest Assured, was presented on November T, 1952. Candidates for Homecoming royalty were A.nn Smith and Bill Stoltzenburg. The ,juniors spon- sored a Christmas party in the study hall. On April 10 we mde 590.00 from a scrap-iron drive. For the prom, held on lhy 8 in honor of the senior class, we laboriously decorated the gymnasium to carry out the theme of Stardust. Thirteen seniors returned at the beginning of the 1953-51+ school year. The class officers chosen were lhry Jane Dee, president 3 Bill Stoltzenburg, vice- presidentg Dorothy Payne, secretaryg and Earl Boyer, treasurer. Miss DeLonJay was our sponsor. Initiation was held on Friday, September 18, 1953. The fresh- men, after being dressed up and mde to do foolish things all day, were honored at a party in the evening. On September 27 the seniors chose their rings and graduation announcements. It was decided tmt the American Yearbook Company would publish our annual, which was to be a smmmer edition. In order to earn money to publish the 1954 Echo, the seniors held a scrap metal and paper drive, picked up corn, opened a lunchroom at basketball games, sold popcorn, and gave a class play in the spring. We went on a two-day class trip to Chicago, where we went to see the Board of Trade building, lhrshall Field's department store, and the Museum of Science and Industry. We returned to a full schedule of exams, hccalaureate services and graduation. Our four years completed and our minds filled with pleasant memories, we took a last loving look at ECHS.
