Setuvi (plate ‘ftytetoMf, That wonderful day was here at last in the fall of 1950 when 26 bewildered fresh- men entered L. C. H. S- We started the year out right by proving that we were not green” by electing Glenn Woodard, President; Carole Noland, Vice-President, and Rosie Rainey, Secretary-Treasurer. We elected Rosie Rainey as our candidate for Homecoming Queen. Beginning the second year with an enrollment of 23, we played the role of silly sophomores.” We now considered ourselves upperclassmen. For class officers we elected Doloies Friesner, President; Marty Smith, Vice-President, and Rosie Rainey Secretary-Treasurer. We elected Dolores Friesner as our candidate for Homecoming Queen. Sally Matteson and Carole Noland represented us as cheerleaders. We started our third year with an enrollment of 22 and with the following offi- cers to lead us in being Juniors; Junior Miller, President; Barbara Hagen, Vice-Presi- dent; and Sally Matteson, Secretary-Treasurer. Karen Odell and Junior Miller repre- sented us in the student council. This year we got busy earning money for the Junior-Senior prom and banquet which we had the honor to sponsor. Our theme for this very successful occasion was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, creating a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. We worked hard to present the play If Mother Only Knew” which was well received. A main highlight of the year was the election of our queen candidate, Viola Oyer, as Homecoming Queen. Carole Noland representea our class as cheerleader. Now we are Seniors! Rosie Rainey, President; and Janet Watkins, Vice-Presi- dent; and Viola Oyer, Secretary-Treasurer; are leading us through our last year at L. C. H. S. Dave Lindsay and Dolores Friesner represent our class in the student council. We were pleased to win first prize with our float id the Homecoming parade with a wedding scene, I Take Thee, Illiopolis”, and were also very proud of Carole Noland and Marty Smith, who were elected Homecoming Queen and King. We thoroughly enjoyed giving the play, “Seven Cinderellas”, a comedy. Our cheerleader was again Carole Noland. We elected Rosie Rainey to receive the D.A.R. Award and Glenn Woodard and Dolores Friesner to receive the Danforth Foundation Awards. We are now looking forward to being together, as a group, on our Senior trip in the spring. With some regrets we are preparing to leave L. C. H. S. on the eve of May 27th. Most of us are glad that we made it, but wish that we had it to do over again. Some of us will be going on to school, holding jobs, or getting married but we will never forget the years of being students at L. C. H. S. or our teachers and classmates. DOLORES FRIESNER, Reporter
