SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Michael MeFurUn—Secretary Jerry Kruse—Treasurer Doiiiwi Stone—President Doris Elmore—Vice-president Memories In September 11)50, eighty-two of us enrolled in Havana Community High School on the corner of Market and Pearl streets. Let's pretend we entered into a race as jockeys in order to win our diplomas. Of course, some of us have worked harder in training and thus have achieved more honors than others. But, on a whole each of us has run a good race and well deserves this day of graduation. Most of the jockeys voted Jerry Kruse as presi- dent. Donald Sorensen, vice-president, and Lar- ry Shelabargcr, secretary-treasurer. Miss I.inc- haugh was our sponsor. After the hustle and hustle of registration, joining clubs, and becoming ac- quainted with upper classmates, we settled down to run a good race. In the second quarter of the race, we had seven- tv-six jockeys, sixteen having dropped out. and ten new ones came in. This year Jerry Kruse continued his leadership as president. Dwight Ren- nison was nominated vice-president, and Ted Jack- son as secretary-treasurer. Our class sponsor was Verla Atwater Welker. The most eventful quarter of the race was the Junior year. We had lost fourteen and had added eight which made a group of seventy for this year. Donna Stone was chosen president; Doris Klmorc, vice-president; Michael MeFarlin, sec- retary; and Jerry Kruse, treasure. M. Blessman and Miss McKone were our class sponsors. We ordered our class rings from Ilcrf Jones in the early fall. “Seventeenth Summer , was the name of our Junior play under the direction of Mrs. Leida Gibson. It was a big success. In order to raise money for the Junior-Senior prom, we had a magazine drive and sold concessions at the basketball games. Hitch Your Wagon to a Star”, was the theme for the Junior-Senior prom. This marked the first school year in our new auditorium. The fourth quarter of the race was also quite a busy one for all the Seniors. The same class officers and sponsors were kept this year. Class pictures were taken at beginning of tile year. In November, we gave our Senior play, Little Women , under the direction of Mr. Leida Gibson. In the spring, we enjoyed our Senior trip ami the Senior banquet and the Junior-Senior prom. Graduation day came soon, we had reached the goal which we hail strived for. But we shall never forget tin- many achievements and pleasures we have received. 18
