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

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

SENIOMS Jean Doncey - - - Decatur, 111. Jean is a tiny girl with an amazing amount of pep and per- sonality. She is intensely interested in all of the arts, and excels in many of them. The English department gained much when Jean came to Millikin. Jean ' s greatest activity on campus has centered around dramatics. She has had the lead ' in several Town and Gown productions, as well as pro- ducing and acting in one-act plays. An unusual girl, Jean is going to be missed in the halls next year. Geraldine Edler ' Wauwatosa, Wis. Gerry comes from that great state of Wisconsin, and is one of the busiest persons on campus. As Theta Upsilon President, Panhellenic President, member of the Student Council, be- sides practice teaching, she has shown herself capable of lead- ing and has brought forth many new ideas. Gerry is one of the squarest girls an campus. Her summer work at home has caused many a laugh. Ask her about it sometime. After reading her features in the Dec for four years, we know that she will be a success in her major, English. Irene Eilers Pa a, 111. Tall, blonde, and always well-groomed describes Irene perfectly. She is a dietetics major and has produced some wonderful dishes m the Foods lab. Her good grades and friendly personality have made her a favorite both with profs and students. As President of the Indees, and the Home Ec Club, she has been at her best. Artys Ford Mt. Vernon, 111. Artys IS one of those special persons who set high stand- ards for themselves and reaches them with ease. She has proved her competence as assistant to Mr. Neal in the Art De- partment. One of Millikin ' s few Art majors, clever party gad- gets and posters are mere child ' s-play for her. With a disposi- tion as fair as her skin, and with her great talent for art, how can she fail? 23
