Senior History On September 9, l957, 135 freshmen entered the halls of Evangel College for the first time. Now, as we prepare for graduation, we stop for a few moments to let our minds wander over the past four years. That first year began with a week of gruelling initiation, climaxed by the wed- ding of the freshman class to the student body. We elected Gary Cook to be our presi- dent and to serve with our other officers, Bill Martin, vice-president, Mavis Easton, sec- retary, Joann Bell, treasurer, and Elaine Clark, Student Government representative. Our most outstanding class social of the year was a Valentin'e's Day party at the Team- sters' Union Hall, featuring our King Leon and Queen Joann, now Mr. and Mrs. Leon Stephens. To replenish our meager class treasury, later in the year we sponsored the film, Wiretapper . Our sophomore year began with the re- election of Gary Cook as president, along with Joe Anderson, vice-president, Beverly Perkins, secretary-treasurer, and Cherry Shaw, Stu- dent Government representative. On Apple Day we took first place by selling more ap- ples per student than any other class, and Sue Hendricks, a member of our class, was crowned top seller. Dinner meetings and many all-school activities caused the year to pass quickly. Suddenly we were juniors. Our officers Were Jerry Duran, president, Gary Dickin- son, vice-president, Cherry Shaw, secretary: Patti Humphreys, treasurer, and Don Youngs, Student Government representative. Our activities included a breakfast at the Pancake House, a weiner roast at the cave, and the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Half-a-Hill Club, featuring the theme, Stairway to the Stars . Our senior year, led by our president, Gary Dickinson, proved to be one of many activities. Our other officers were Bob Lively, vice-president, Peggy Catlett, secretary, Carrie Loker, treasurer, and Joe Nichols and Jerry Duran, Senators. Never will we for- get our Sneak to Windermere Camp on the Lake of the Ozarks. We spent a fabu- lous two days, climaxed by an outdoor steak dinner. Then came our Christmas and Val- entine's Day parties, and the Junior-Senior Banquet, so graciously given for us by the junior class. What is missing from this class history? Oh yes, the classes with their respective books, professors, papers, exams, and amusing incidents. And now, as we don our caps and gowns, we realize how much Evan gel College has meant to us, not only so- cially and intellectually, but spiritually. Never regretted will be the decision of each senior to serve Christ and to walk day by day with Him. May our lives be a living testimony to those around us as we enter our fields or professions.
