SampI Conv ' cntion, too. Quite a tew sophomore hums came dressed eomieally and appropriately. I lie I loho kinw was selected from our ranks. The honorahle aentlenian was none other than Cloyee Burns. A lovely trio composed ol June lU ' nder, Daphene Coston, and Dinah ' 1 anner renderetl I he Old C.ra ' Mare, beautifully in true hum st ' le. In addition to these talented hohos, we had Pat Hnsley, Mariaem Stevens, Vi Corday, Elsie Crisp, and joAnn Simpson attending the meeting. Our Homecoming float was an original horse-drawn wagon, with An Old Fashioned Hayride. 1 he students were dressed as old fashioned people on a hayride.

She won Amanda C.lenn contest, was . ' lected vice president of the Illinois Methodist Student Movement, and was selected by the magazine Mmlc nioiscllc to be a member of their college board. d ha. ork Dear old Dan Cui sophomores, it seems. Se eral ha c become eng during the year. 1 ed C ' ov, Allen Vancil, Joe Dicke Evelyn Bcatv, Anna Richardson, and with s| approaching, we k caught. h fh )me more w •sh We might stop to recognize the niar elous wit of a humorous sophomore, Elsie Crisp. Whenever sly humor or wit is needed, Elsie is the one to see. Her current events at the Clio open session won ' t be torgotten for a long time. Her sly comment about her ne.xt-door neighbors going crazy about the Old South — Totten and Chicken, that is, is just one of the man that gal knoxxs! A boucjuet could be gi en here to the cheer-leader captain, June Render. Junie did a swell job to keep the spirit high and to cheer the team on to ictorx at both the basketball and the football games. ■re: Ronalcl I lerrin. sident; and Daphene Our officers for this year w president; 1 larold Sheets, ice pn C ' oston, secretar -treasin-er. Our class had a few students with unusual nicknames 1 low they acquired them is sometimes known, and at other times destined to remain hidden. Hoag Ogle.sbv is still poimding away at the piano with a jumping rlnthm. Just why Clarence W ' iese is called Digger is cjuite self-evident. No one but an under- taker would fit the adjective. Mule Train or Bullet I lerrin is quite a forcefu l character on the football field or basketball floor, so it would seem. Squib I rosl is slill around, as cntertainine as e er. . t l,,r hop, ICC the two years before us )l ,in ict and regrets. We w iiu- college. U ' e are proud of M she will be proud il us.
