HlS1URU UF On September 7, 1947, sixty-four students en- tered Marengo High to begin their Freshman year. The principal of the school was Mr. E. A. Anderson. The advisors for the classs were Miss Penney, Miss Thompson and Mr. Boies. The first two weeks were hectic for the Fresh- men, for they received much punishment from the Sophomores and upper classmen. The initiation ended on Friday of the second week with an initiation party, which was held in the evening. The Freshies chose as their officers, Clayton Fox, president, Bill Becklinger, vice-president, Lois Davis, secretary, and Carlene Griebel, treasurer. When Homecoming arrived, the Freshmen elected Shirley Stokes to be their queen in the fes- tivities. The Freshmen had the distinction of winning first prize for their class float. Two parties were given by the Freshmen for the whole school. One, a Sweater Hop was held in De- cember and the other, a Box Social was held in April. Six classmen were elected to the House of Rep- resentatives and three were elected to the Senate. At the beginning of the Sophomore year, Bill Pingel was elected president, Don Larson, vice-presi- dent, Shirley Stokes, secretary, and Clayton Fox, treas- urer. Class advisors were Miss Penney, Mrs. Husfeldt and Mr. Boies. Eight members of the class left at the beginning of the Sophomore year, and ten left during the year. Three members were added to the class. Four seats were held in the House and four in the Senate by the Sophomores. Pat Atherton was elected queen of the class in the Homecoming events. Two parties were given for the whole school during the year. One was held in September in the form of an initiation party for the incoming fresh- men. The other party was given in February. Its title was Sleigh Dance. When the Class of '51 became Juniors, they gained the name of upperclassmen. They let every- one know it, tool Officers elected were Bill Pingel, president, Ken Van Hagen, vice-president, Darlene Ratcliff, secre- tary and Pat Atherton, treasurer. Four seats were the Senate, three in the House, and one in the CLHSS Ul 51 Supreme Court and Cabinet by the Juniors. The class advisors were Miss Penney, Mr. Boies, Mrs. Husfeldt and Mr. Teal. Mr. E. C. Nichols was principal of M.C.H.S. Seven members left the class and one joined the class. The Class of '51 again had the distinction of winning first prize on their Homecoming float on which rode their queens, Pat Atherton and Juanita Ra . Y This class had the opportunity of presenting a play. The play that they chose was a mystery-comedy entitled Hobgoblin House. A lovely Junior-Senior Prom was sponsored by the Juniors. The banquet was held at the Marengo Community Center. The dance was given at the Syca- moreCountryClub with Al Raymond's band of Rock- ford furnishing the music for the gala affair. The theme of the event was Hawaiian. When the Class of '51 became Seniors, they elected Ken Van Hagen, president, Ted Kometani, vice-president, Barbara Watkins, secretary, and Dar- lene Ratcliff, treasurer. Clayton Fox was president of the Student Government. Five students were elected to the House and four to the Senate. Class advisors were Mr. Boies and Miss Nicewander. This year, the Senior class of the Class of '51 earned the grand prize for their float in the Home- coming parade. They had as their queen Geraldine Lungstrom and Jerry Fiepke as their king. Jerry was crowned King at the Homecoming dance. The Seniors had the job of giving the Winter Formal. This they did very successfully. lt was held at the Masonic Temple in Marengo on January 20.
