The Junior play, HAlmost Eighteenn, presented in April, was a great success. The Junior-Senior Banquet was given May 18 at Emmert's Tea Room in Freeport. In the fall of 1940 we re-entered high school for the fourth and last time as students. We were fortunate in our enrollment, inasmuch as we lost only one member, Boyd Doeden, and were introduced to two new members, Vivian Bradley, formerly of Shannon, and Jane Bogus, formerly of Dixon. Our enrollment was now increased to thirty. It seemed hard to believe that the four years in F. C. H. S. had passed so quickly. Class officers elected were: President Marcile Gesin Vice-President Donald Buttel Secretary Flossie Norris Treasurer Evelyn Jacobs Class advisors Miss Plagge, Mr. Winebrenner Betty Williams and Teddy Schoon were elected as first semester reporters. The editor-in-chief was Evelyn Jacobs. The second semester reporters were Vivian Bradley and Ellsworth Lewis, while Lucille Wubbena was the editor-in-chief. Betty Garman was chosen Sauerkraut Queen, Flossie Norris and Jane Bogue were attendants. we entered a float in the parade for which we auto matically received Ll5.00. The class decided to have a carnival, in order to raise money for class expenses. The Senior class play was given in May before a large audience. The graduating class numbered 30, 22 of whom started as freshmen here.
