Seniors Give Juniors Picnic The senior class of 1957 can be justly proud of the accomplishments of their members. One of the first social events of the year was the senior-sponsored all-school picnic held in the lower shelter house north of the campus. Following the pic- nic an hour-dance was held in the gym. The committee for planning the pic- nic was Joan Hummel, Jerry Bruntz, Jeanie Armstrong, Dave Hudson, Karen Scott, LeAnn Lindbeck, J. T. Harris, and Larry Frazier. The officers elected at the first gen- eral class meeting were Larry Frazier, president, LeAnn Lindbeck, vice-presi- dent, and Betty Batterton, secretary- treasurer. From the ranks of the 1957 seniors have emerged some outstanding individ- uals, one of which has been recognized nationally. Elmer Trail, the sparkling half-back, was voted on the All-Ameri- can Junior College team of 1957. Other outstanding players were Don Jussel, Larry Unger, Clyde Butz, and Lee Fort in. Also popular with the student body, Elmer Trail was elected the King of the Color Day festivities, with LeAnn Lind- beck serving at his side as Queen. The senior attendants were Betty Bat- terton, Jean Boyle, Lee Fortin, and Clyde Butz. This year ' s Color Day activities saw a departure from the usual as it was decided to decorate Norris Avenue in- stead of building floats. A Coronation Ball was held after the football gaJne at which Elmer and LeAnn were crowned. The seniors plan an all-school party in the spring. All seniors look forward to the Ivy Day, which is held in the spring at the close of the term. An Ivy Day Queen is chosen and the traditional Ivy is planted. Each class that has graduated from Mc- Cook College has an Ivy planted on the campus. A highlight of graduation is the senior breakfast the day before graduation. The faculty and the seniors have this last get-together for old times. The senior class of 1957 will long re- main in the memories of the faculty and the juniors as being one of the outstand- ing classes in debate, athletics, and ap- proximately 25 per cent of the senior class are Korean Veterans. WHAT ' S ON THE AGENDA? Mrs. Gwen- dolyn McKenzie, sponsor of the seniors, looks on as Larry Frazier, president, Betty Batter- ton, vice-president, and Le Ann Lindbeck, sec- retary, discuss plans for the senior picnic. JAGUAR BARONS. John Gerharfs sports car gets the nod from Richard Mialki, Jim App, John Gerhart, and Jim Nantau as they get ready to move into the line of traffic.
