CLASS PRESIDENT Jack B. Pratt The Senior Class of 1048 This year’s senior class can be justly proud of its accomplishments while at Illinois College. Larger in number than previous postwar commencement groups, these graduates leave to Illinois College reminders of the courage, loyalty, and industriousness which they exemplified at all times. Some of these students attended Illinois College for four years. The majority, however, transferred from other schools. In all cases these new students rapidly adjusted themselves to their new environment and activities. Indeed, the memories of this year’s class will be cherished by all. We who remain at Illinois College sincerely wish the very best fortune to these gradu- ates, and at the same time pledge to uphold the high degree of attainments set by them. Their record in the classroom, in athletics, at social functions, and with the various music groups and publication staffs, has been worthy of highest praise. Newly elected into Phi Beta Kappa were John Burhorn, Josephine Cannon, Midge Colwell, Caroline Hammond, John Price and Phil Vanderhorst. Jim Becker was editor-in-chief of the Rambler and Jack Pratt was business man- ager. Vasil Eftimoff served as associate editor of the Rig and Chairman of the Social Committee. Evo Bernardini, Mel Brasel, an d Larry Parks were active in sports and Dick Lane, Glenn Skinner, Dave Capps, John Burhorn, and Jack Pratt were active in the men’s societies. Joel Scarborough was president of the forum, and James Becker was president of the Hilltoppers. Wanda Kluz Capps and Anne Hudson led their respective societies and Midge Colwell assumed the leadership in ICAW during the latter half of the year. «16
