THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY OF '56 One morning late in August of 1953, fifty-three freen freshmen entered the halls of ECHS to spend the following four years there. Our first class meeting was held in September and our advisor was Mr. Cad? We elected the following officers: Doug Coulter, President, Ronnie Coon, Vice Presiden' ind Linda Parker, Secretary-Treasurer. We had a skating party and hay rack ride during he year. In the fall of '54 we were back as sophomores. Class officers were as follows: Co- Presidents, Karen Kleen and Richard Coong Judy Purcell, Secretary-Treasurer: and Reporter, Carol Smith. Mr. 1-lamman was our advisor. On November 10, we had an all school party. Refreshments were served and everyone had a nice time. In January about thirty sophomores held a party which ended in a sleigh ride. Hot chocolate and cookies were served. The biology class held a bake sale to raise money for an armadillo. It died. The biology class also took a trip to Chicago. They visited The Field Museum and Brookfield Zoo on May 7, 1955. Mr. Cady sponsored our trip. On September 6, 1955, we were enrolled as juniors with Mrs. Monroe as our advisor. We had a class meeting in late September and the following officers were elected: Ronnie Coon, President, Judy Purcell, Vice Presidentg Carol Greene, Secretary-Treasurer, and Sharon Ekena, Reporter. Our Junior play, Girl Crazy, was held November 15, 1955. It was a big success. We received our Class rings after we came back from Thanksgiving vacation. We were all very proud of them. We had a bake sale April 7, 1956 to raise more money for the Prom, which was held on May 4. The theme was Sealand Fantasy. We are all looking forward to being enrolled as seniors next year. lu A oooD COMPARING NOTES ..I DIDNT D0 IT... PERK UP GIRLS - 1T's ONLY 3 A.M.i McFALL'S MONUMENT Galesburg Illinois

Dick Eccles who is sitting near the back of the room is coach of the Elmwood University basketball team. His team has just won the Universal Tournament. We are all very proud of his success. The Reverend Sam jones is inviting all of us to attend his church next Sunday to hear our former classmate, Dorothy Gunter, now a famous missionary, who will speak about her ex- periences in Venus. Jim Martin and Harry Sherlock are head diesel mechanics at the new caterpillar branch on Saturn. Shirley Walker and Deloris Whitmore, who are sitting on the right, have their own Home EC program on television broadcast direct from station ECHS on Mercury. To the right are Betty Duggins and Peggy Broadfield who are running a new shoe store fea- turing light-weight magnetized space boots for women. They are of the newest style and the prices are reasonable. Congratulations on your successful business. Seated near the back is Danny McBeth who has recently become vice president to the chain of Rexall Drug Stores throughout America. Coming in the door are Larry Cox and Sharon Sloan, who we understood would be late due to difficulties in rocket connections. Sharon is the head stewardess for the Universal Rocket Line which travels to all the planets in the universe. Larry is emcee for Cox's Conglomer- ation of Comedy sponsored by Cadet Corn Crackers. We close our program this evening with a moonlight swim in Lake 56 named for our class, and we hope that we can all get together in another thirty years. THE END ?
