M. C. H. S. 1949 'ZJfie. LfCtohmzt SENIOR HISTORY September 4. 1945, . . . the war was over! ! In Metropolis. Illinois, everyone’s thoughts were turning toward peace, and the town was relatively quiet, except for the Metropolis Community High School where eighty-eight green freshmen made their first timid but, nevertheless, somewhat clamorous appearance. To help them through the confusion of the first year in high school was that capable leader. Mr. Sullivan. Class officers were: Robert Palmer, president; Jim Fulkerson, vice-president; George Schneeman, Jr., secretary; Jack Miller, treasurer. Several boys came out for basketball, and many others in the class participated in various clubs and activities. September 3. 1946, a far more confident and somewhat less noisy group, now only seventy-eight in number appeared f; r another year of fun and learning at M. C. H. S. This year the class had Mr. Devers for their qualified supervisor. The class elected Jack Miller, president; Bill McDearmon, vice-president; Sue Lasley. secretary; and Dale Cougill. treasurer. The following boys came out for both football and basketball: Jim Fulkerson, who made the first team in both sports; Loren Henderson, Charles Austin. Yotts Schneeman. and Dale Cougill. Septemer 2, 1947, sixty-four Jolly Juniors calmly sauntered in to assume their rightful place as upper classmen. They, guided by Mr. Cochran, soon chose Robert Palmer, for president; Corine Holt, vice-president; Sue Lasley, secretary; and Shirley Hinners, treasurer. They took a firm lead in both football and basketball. Football boys were: Charles Austin. Dale Kingsley. Robert McSparin. Don Haverkamp. John Artman. Loren Henderson. Jim Fulkerson, Jack Miller, and Yotts Schneeman. On the basketball floor were: Robert Palmer. Jim Fulkerson. Gene DeJarnett. Charles Austin, Yotts Schneeman. and Jack Miller. In the cheering squad they were well represented by Nina Sowders and Roxie Leverett. Shirley Hinners was their proud contribution as a majorette. On November 14, 1947, the Junior class presented the delightful mystery, “Bogeyman.” The cast included: Norma Gowins, Pauline Toler. Jan Arensman. Shirley Hinners. Ruth Barfield. Sue Lasley. Charles Austin. Robert Palmer, John Artman. and Don Haverkamp. On Friday. May 14, 1948. the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a banquet after which the Prom was held. The theme for the banquet. “Song of the South.” was developed by Norma Gowins. Sue Lasley. Gene DeJarnett, Corine Holt, Charles Austin, and Robert Palmer. Several of the Junior class were members of the newly-formed Heliopolitan Chapter of the National Honor Society, namely: Jan Arensman, John Artman, Jeannine Conger, Jack Fox, Alma Kckenberg, Rosanna Giltner, Norma Gowins. Barbara Sampley. Lois York. Mary Virginia Jett. Leroy Meinders. Roberta Wiseman. Corine Holt. Joann Hempler. Shirley Hinners. and Robert Palmer. September 1. 1948, fifty-two students nonchalantly, as befitted their position, returned to M. C. H. S. to assume the task of being dignified seniors. They were ably guided on this undertaking by Miss Klaine Munal. When the officers were selected. Norma Gowins was chosen president; Dale Cougill, secretary and treasurer; and Shirley Hinners. vice-president. This year the seniors were much in view on the football field and on the basketball floor. Charles Austin. Robert Palmer, Yotts Schneeman. Jim Fulkerson, Loren Henderson. Dale Cougill, Robert McSparin. and Dale Kingsley were on the football team. Robert Palmer, Charles Austin. Yotts Schneeman, and Jim Fulkerson were the pride of the seniors on the basketball team. Nina Sowders led in the cheering for the team. Attractive rings were picked for the class by a committee composed of: John Artman. Robert Palmer, Shirley Hinners. Norma Gowins, Gene LeJarnett. Jo Ann Shelton, and Dale Cougill. The capable librarians for the year were: Norma Gowins, Corine Holt, Doris Lippert, Jeannine Conger, Sue Lasley, Gene DeJarnett, Mary Virginia Jett, Shirley Hinners, Peggy Krueger, and Shirley Burton. Many members of the class were in the Band. Qlee Club, Hi-Tri and other organizations and activities. As this goes to press the senior play and its cast have not been selected. but it will be presented later in the spring. The climaxing activities, of course, will be the long-anticipated and yet regretted time of Baccalaureate and Commencement.
