The promise of the talent displayed in that program has yielded satisfying results and has contributed much to the success of McKcndree these years. After such a glorious start, we were sure that we must be the outstanding class of the Century. As sophomores we ere forging steadily ahead. We wondered why the Freshmen c ' er thought thev might get awj y with their picnic. We made short work of their plans— after long searching— with a bonfire and wiener-roast in the parking lot. That was the year Bo Bracy came to the hobo convention appropriately dressed in a T-shirt and bow-tie under his neat black dress suit. That year our candidate, Ella Jones, was elected Homecoming Queen. Sadie Hawkins Day was quite an affair and the race was full of excitement. Several poor males were caught in spite of the fact that there was a great deal of confusion involved, not the least of which was tree-sitting! The year flew by quickly. So many things were happening: our basketball season, stunt show. May Day, Commencement! We came back as Juniors feeling that we had learned a lot but realizing that there was so much we yet lacked. It was a good year. We saw our football team score on the field. We won the first game in years. Quite a celebration followed this victory over Chillicothe v ' hich gave our spirits a great lift. Our basketball team really forged ahead with victories galore and a very marked improvement over previous years. The days passed with the usual round of classes, labs, tests and exams. We gave the Senior class a banquet. At the end of the year, with great jnv and a little bit ( c ' slidiikl take upon Mils has Ixvn the We might add that rc]iidati(in, ■e realized that scKcs the duties of Seniors. Kist wonderful year of all. is tlu ' most unusual. Our cl.iss is xr proud ot the man - outstanding football plaxois who, we feel sure, made this season the most successful in years. We won three of our games. I lomeeoming was just about as perfect as we could isk: Hobo Day, the beautiful coronation, freshman program )tball ictory over Chillicothe, alumni banquet, and the homecoming play. After these fatiguing acti ' ities e ' erybody was ready to settle down to routine happenings for a while! Instead, some of the most exciting times of the year followed, especially nights, as the Carnegie Hall inmates will testify. We got painted up several times by Shurtleff, not to mention the times Shurtleff got the same from us. After many days and nights the whole thing was climaxed by an episode that caused thirteen Shurtleff men to lose their hair— not from worry but from the skillful use of scissors plied by McKendree students and the Dean. Following this there came leaf-raking day and that memorable board meeting at which Dr. Russell Grow was elected to succeed Dr. Bracy as our president. We chose as the leaders of our class, Darrell Sample, president; Benjamin Anderson, vice-president; and Mari in Ruth, secretary-treasurer. The years spent at McKendree have been some of the happiest and most profitable we have e.x- pcrienced. We will iu er forget the experiences that we ha e had and the friends we have made on the Old Hill . Grateful for vhat McK has meant to us, we look forward to the future with great hopes both for our class and for our lma Alater. 17
