SENIOR CLASS HISTORY There is but one Senior .Class I Classes gone before, and classes yet to come are folklore, for this is THE Senior Class. Of course, we were freshmen once, but such statements ,when spoken aloud, are treason of the highest. Every group of individuals has its peculiar characteristics. From the following activities of the Seniors, conclusions can easily be drawn as to class personality We entered this glorious institution in September of 1943 g seven of usin all, known as Donna, Ruthmarie, Helen, JoAnne, Ralph, Bill Bandeko, and Loren, each one as dumb as the next. The corner- stone of our class was laid when We proved to the Seniors at initia- tion time that we were worthy of becoming members of the afore men- tioned institution. Donna was chosen to guide us over the rough spots as class president, and Mrs Naffziger was our class advisor. We proved our ability of Planning when we sponsored a spooky Hallo- we'en party September of 1944 found all seven of us back in GCHS, 'a little wiser than the previous year. It grieves us to think that the road was too hard for Bill, for he left us in November of this year. His never-ceasing humorkwas missed by all. Helen was chosen to guide us this year, and Mr. Welsh was our faculty advisor, Mrs. Welsh wanted our class to understand how the wheels of justice work, so she accompanied us on a trip to visit a court session in Peoria. The class was so impressed by this trip that dignity and poise have been its noted characteristics ever since. Several members of our class proved their talent in plays this year. In the play, The Girls Take 0ver , we were represented by Io Anne, Donna, and Ralph. Ruthniarie and Jo Ann also represented us in Life at Aunt Minnie's. Our junior year was one of fun and will long be remembered by the members of our class, for now we were upperclassmen and not looked down upon. This was a year of activity. We presented om' class play, Miss Smarty , with Ruthmarie and Ralph taking the leads. Our class also put forth a magazine selling campaign, and sponsored a bingo party to raise money. This year we chose Io Ann to be our president, and she was also a memberof the student council. Miss Klopfenstein was our class advisor. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet which required long hours of work and planning by all members of the class. The banquet was informal, and it was held in the Keystone room of the Pere Marquette Hotel in Peoria.

As we returned to GCHS for our Senior year, we were full of vim and vigor, for this year was packed with class activities. Ralph did not return this year, but Bill Sauder took over for him to complete the Big Six. Again we chose Jo Anne for our president, and Miss Klopfenstein for faculty advisor. The year started off with a bang for our class, because we had the privilege of initiating the freshmen. Our class demonstrated its loyalty to GCHS by holding a Library Clean- Up party. A delicious pot-luck supper was our reward. Next on our list of activities was the Valentine Party, at which several hundred val- entines were passed out. To raise some money, we neld a card party, at which we raffled off a box of candy and a pair of nylons. Miss Klopfenstein took the girls of our class to Bloomington to see the stage production of Julius Caesar. Senior pictures were another interest- ing phase of this year. We had them taken at Art Foto Studio in Bloomington. Our class play this year was Who Killed Aunt Caro- line? It was an exciting mystery which held the audience in sus- sense. An exciting adventure of our Senior year was our class trip to Chicago. Several never -to-be-forgotten experiences occurred on this trip. The Junior Class gave the banquet for us, and this year it was formal. The climax of our school career was the evening of Mav 27th when we marched up in our caps and gowns to receive om diplomas Good bye, Goodfield High. We hope you'l1 miss us as much as We'll miss you.
