Senior Class History It was in the early autumn of 1950 that a somewhat bewildered group of Freshmen took their first steps through the doors of Eureka High School. At the beginning of the year they were busy getting ad- justed and acquainted, and later were surprised by the Seniors with an initiatio11 ceremony. In a class election, they chose Melvin Geiger to act as President. Being a very bright class, they realized that money-making oppor- tunities were available for those who would go out and get them. Thus, during their Sophomore year, under the supervision of George Thorn, they served a dinner to the teachers at Teachers' Institute and picked up corn. The class also won first place with their stunt during Home- coming. They continued their quest for learning-and money-during their Junior year and picked Irma Bowald to aid them. Jobs such as noon candy sales, concessions at home games, another dinner served to the teachers, the Junior play, and the Junior-Senior Banquet-Prom all added to their funds and experience. At this time the class realized how for- tunate they were to have such able advisors as Miss Clark and Mr. Phillips. After three months of much deserved rest, the class of '54 again en- tered the doors of Eureka High. This time, as Seniors, they made Luana Crawford president and devised plans for a yearbook, the Senior play, and graduation. They were kept very busy, but somehow they found time to surprise everyone by skipping school, one nice day, and going to Starved Rock. In the spring the class of '54 parted. Each member went his separate way, taking with him these memories and experiences in education, which will long influence his life.
