Millikin University - Millidek Yearbook (Decatur, IL)

Page 24 text:

Although the senior class is composed mainly of women, they have done well in keeping the Millikin traditions alive. The class, though small, has kept alive the feeling of senior dignity. Senior chapel, the chapel program which is planned and given by seniors, will long be remembered by other students. The senior dinner, given by President and Mrs. Hessler v as a beautiful and enjoyable affair. The stimulating discussion which followed gave many of us food for thought. Cut day and the senior picnic are also typical of the traditional functions which the class had in order to help us remember Millikin as it has been. The fellows of the class who are serving in the Armed Forces have been greatly missed and where ever they are, our thoughts were with them when we received our degrees in June. Some of the women too, will be serving with them soon and our best wishes for their success will go with them. Our four years at Millikin has given us a feeling of accomplishment and pride that we are a part of the great ' Millikin Family . To Millikin, the Class of ' 44 says Thanks for everything . 20

SENIORS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President . . . , Vice President Irene Eilers Artys Ford Secretary Treasurer Beverly Reed Helen Kuhns Senior class officers were elected in October. Petitions for offices were issued at the General Office and were signed by members of the class. Members could sign only one petition for each office. If the required number of signatures was ob- tained by the student he then became a candidate for office. The candidates were voted on by the members of the class at a general election and the new officers were announced in the Decaturian. Senior Class officers hold responsible positions since they head the committees for Commencement activities. They also assist Mrs. Hessler in planning the annual Senior Dinner. The Senior Skit given at Homecoming this year was also some of their work. The class may well be proud of the officers which they have had this year and of the things they have accom- plished. 21
