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

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 Elizabeth Atteberry Hillsboro, 111. Elizabeth is the pride and joy of the Home Ec department. Her friends at Aston Hall will tell you that although she seems a shy, quiet person, she is really loads of fun. An intelligent person, she always pops up with the right answer on exams. How such a tiny person can know so much is a mystery to us. Juanita Buchner Decatur, 111. Juanita is a quiet, business-like person who gets very good grades. We ' ll always remember her intelligent ideas in Soci- ology and the dignified way in which she presented them. Few people know her well, and many of us would gain from an occasional chat with her. Juanita will, we know, go through life quietly, wisely and graciously. Florence Compton Decatur, 111. We see Florence most often in the locker room exchanging one armful of books for another before she hurries to her next class. Her main objective at Millikin is to get the most out of her lessons and that is exactly what she does. We can ' t help admiring the determined way in which she goes about her work. We will see the results in the near future. Kathleen Crow Blue Mound, 111. Kay came to Millikin as a transfer from MacMurray last year. She is friendly, vivacious, and always ready for a good time. She is fun to be with and fun to hear from as Dale, now over in England will testify. She has made many friends dur- ing her short time here. 22
