Scxllee. Irish, Pease. Williams l '7!w For three years We've listened to senior classes say goodbye, watched them tear up the place on their senior picnic and generally make the poor college fathers shake their heads in woe. But if you think that was bad- you ain't seen nothing yet! The class of '48 is dif- ferent. We started out with freshmen in l944 and . . . seniors are graduating. The uni- versity has grown along with us. Why we can remember back when-there were no trailers, Dr. Gage handled the history department all by himself, we had our Homecoming dance in the front hall, Campus City was a vacant lot, athletics were a nonentity and the Millikin Men's Club carried on bravely with a limited, very limited enrollment. During our sophomore year, peace was de- clared and the fun and excitement we'd heard so much about became a part of Millilcin life. K 2625 SENIOR CLASS omcsns Reme Seam 61644 Barracks and trailers sprung up like mush- rooms, there were faculty increases to accom- modate the swelling enrollment, and the class of '48 did their part in putting Millikin on the map. The athletic department, with the help of some of the now graduating seniors, gave Millikin a conference championship in both basketball and baseball, and repeated it the following spring with an undefeated record in baseball. Athletic events weren't the only things we excelled in, dramatics, publications, home economics, debate, and all the other activities received their share of attention from us. Yes, we're proud of our class. We've been here a long time it seems, and we've had some bad times and some good ones. The bad ones we'll forget-the good ones will mean Millikin to us-Millikin and the class of '48. President ....... ..... D on Williams Vice-President ....... Mary Louise Irish Secretary ..... ....
