We immediately settled down to work and elected class officers as follows: President, Jack Creeson; Vice President, Rosemary Randall; Sec- retary, Betty Smithers; Treasurer, Guy Neibuhr; Student Council, Barbara Benedict and Max Scott; Pep Committee, Jim Hockaday and Marjean Mont- gomery. During the year we lost two members—Betty Gronkowski and Lloyd Butler, Joanne Patterson was a member of our class for two weeks. We have been a very active class., We're proud of our cheerleaders and our football and basketball players. We commend Mary Ellen Hockaday for the fine piano solo which she played at the Illinois High School contest at Charleston. Incidentally, she won second! Five of our number represent us on the Blue and Gold Staff and three members serve as librarians. We organized a float for the Homecoming parade and were awarded second prize. Early in the fall the class enjoyed a weiner roast at the home of Jack Creeson, This is a summary of our activities for the year, This completes the first half of our journey at M. C. H. S. It’s been the best year yet, but our goal is to make the best better, so watch us next year! Page Seventeen
