C ASS HISTORY For most freshman classes, high school is a new experience, however, for the freshmen that entered M. C. H. S. in September of '50, high school in a sense, was not entirely novel. There was good reason, our eighth grade class was held at the high school the preceding year. Nevertheless there were still many things we didn't understand. Only a few weeks of school had passed when we held an election for class officers. Mr. Schultze was appointed our advisor while Diane Cryer was chosen President, Frank Taylor, Vice-President, and Beverly Bowman, Secretary-Treasurer. Elected to the student council were Dorothy Hildebrandt and Roger Lancaster. We were well represented in sports. Patricia Lane and Leah Holohan were chosen as two of the four cheerleaders. We were also well represented in the academic field. Activities such as a Weiner roast at Morgans' and stunt night fwe proved our ability as actorsl made the school year even more pleasant. Before the first semester had hardly gotten underway, our class gained Albert Decker and Lester Williams and we then numbered twenty-five. Our number soon dwindled, however, for we lost the latter along with Ruth and David Coon, Rex Gordon, and Janette Van Hoosier. In September, 1951, nineteen silly sophomores entered M. C. H. S. to start an- other year of work and fun. We held our first class meeting to elect officers, which were: Marilyn Van Hoosier, President, Bob Coffman, Vice-President, Mary Watts, Secretary, Leah Holohan, Treas- urer. We chose Marcia Lane and Dick Farmer as representatives for Student Council. Miss Schofield acted as our advisor. Dick Farmer and Jim Necessary represented our class in the M Club. Marcia Lane, Patricia Lane, Beverly Bowman, Richard Farmer, Dorothy Hilde- brandt, and Roger Lancaster journeyed to the National Honor Society. We were well represented. in sports. In baseball, we were represented by Roger Lancaster, Dick Farmer, and Jim Necessary. These boys, joined by Dick Yeast, Albert Decker, Bob Coffman, and Frank Taylor, were active in basketball. Leah Holohan and Sue Morgan were cheerleaders. In November, our class grew larger with Dick Yeast coming from Moline, and Ruth Coone coming from El Paso. Beginning the second semester, Kenneth Conlin came from Arthur, Illinois. In September of '52, we entered the halls of McLean High to begin our third year of school activities. We had our first class meeting in early September and elected our officers. We chose Marcia Lane, President, Beverly Bowman. Vice Presidentg Patricia Lane, Secretary, Dick Farmer, Treasurer, and Ken Conlin, Reporter. Student Council representatives were Dick Yeast, Roger Lancaster, and Bob Coffman, Class advisors, Miss Winings and Miss Kieszling. We entered a political float in the Fall Festival Parade. October lst, we selected and ordered our class play. We selected Rest Assured which we presented on November 14, 1952. We gained Donald Lovan to increase our enrollment to twenty-three. Roger Lan- caster moved to 'Delavan in January. Leah Holohan was elected to take his place in Student Council. On September lst, we again entered school. As our class officers we chose Dick Farmer, President, Ken Conlin, Vice President, Pat Lane, Secretary-Treasurer, and for Student Council, Bob Coffman, Jim Necessary, Pat Lane, and Sue Morgan. On May 23rd, we donned our caps and gowns for the first time. We now realized that our school days were almost ended. On the evening of May 27th, 22 seniors marched to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance to their place on the stage. We are now ready to take our place in the world.
