enior add .Md for? On September 3, 1946, nineteen green freshmen were seen wandering through the halls of Mahomet High School. The first social function of our high school career was the unavoidable but long to be remembered initia- tion. With the following officers: President, Joan Jones, Vice President, Cecil Dunlap, Secretary-Treasurer, Regina Roberts, and Mrs. Rose as class sponsor we whizzed through our freshman year successfully. Twenty-four members, some old, some new, returned as brilliant sopho- mores in the fall of 1947. Our officers elected were: President, Cecil Dun- lap, Vice President, Jim Maley, Secretary-Treasurer, Bob Dale, and Mr Knell was the class sponsor. Cecil Dunlap and Joan Jones were the Student Council Representatives. Two of the main social events of our sophomore year were the all school dance held in December, and the housewarming at Mr. and Mrs. Knell's new home. ln the fall of 1948, twenty-eight members returned as upper-classmen. Miss Swan, class advisor, assisted in electing the following officers: Presi- dent, Phil Teare, Vice President, Don Branson, Secretary, Richard Maley, Treasurer, Bill Bowman. Our student council representatives were Phil Teare, Bob Dale, Joan Jones, and Imogene Keller. Our Junior Play, Stranger in the Night , directed by Mrs. Siffered, was presented November 12. We were all very happy to receive our class rings in January. The annual Junior and Senior Banquet was given May 6, 1949, and was considered a huge success. Twenty-six eager students entered Mahomet High School in the fall of 1949. Yes, we were at last full fledged seniors! Our officers for the year were: President, Betty Shelton, Vice President, Phil Teare, Secretary, Elaine Gaither, Treasurer, Bill Bowman. Lola Burnett, Don Branson, Bob Dale, and Betty Shelton represented our class in the Student Council. Mr. Tate was our willing and efficient sponsor. At the beginning of the year we decided to take a cruise of the Great Lakes for our Senior trip. Money had to be made for this so our twenty-six ambitious Seniors got busy and planned the following money making schemes which were a great success. Our first money making project was selling Christmas cards. When this was out of the way, we planned our Box Social for November 15 where Spike Jones entertained. lSpike Jones' Band consisted of Senior boys.1 Next came our chili supper, December 7, where we served two hundred people with chili, salad, pie, and a drink. We had a Sox dance January 11, which was given for the students at school. Prizes were given for the largest and smallest feet. On May 29, we embarked on our Senior trip. The first lap of our jour- ney was made by bus to Detroit, and after seeing Belle Island, Zoological Park and Downtown Detroit, we boarded the ship and left for a cruise up Lake Huron to Sault Ste. Marie and Mackinac Island. We cruised down Lake Michigan and docked in Chicago June 1, after making a 1,068-mile graduation trip.
