PAGE 10 SENIORS 1950-51 Senior Class History At last the time has come for us Seniors to leave O’Fallon High and go into the world waiting for us. We have anxiously awaited this occasion for four long years and now that the time has come, we have a feeling of loneliness in our hearts and we realize this is the end of the happy days in O.T.H.S. In September of 1947 wre entered O.T.H.S. as green Freshmen. We were determined to set an example at O.T.H.S. by making our class an outstanding one. We chose as our leaders, Wayne Battoe, President; Curt Biehn, Vice-President; Audrey Klemme, Secretary; Leo Pensoneau, Treas- urer; Maurice Hesse and Jenny Oechsle, Student Council members; Mr. Biggerstaff and Mr. Martin as our sponsors. One of the great events of our Freshmen year was giving a Christmas party for the entire student body and faculty. In our Sophomore year we chose as our leaders, Maurice Hesse, Presi- dent; Jim Payne, Vice President; Margie Southern, Secretary-Treasurer; Curt Biehn and Mary Grivett, Student Council members; Mr. L. B. Sample and Mrs. Jo Ann Bechtold as our sponsors. We entertained the O.T.H.S. students and faculty with a talent scout show called “Arthur G’s Talent Scouts”. Now we have reached our Junior year and we are now Upperclassmen. We chose an officers, Maurice Hesse, President; Harry Tourville, Vice President; Curt Biehn, Secretary-Treasurer; Jim Payne and Jenny Oechsle, Student Council Members; Miss Montgomery, Miss Annice Wil- lard and Mr. Davis as our sponsors. We presented a school play named “Dear Papa”. From the proceeds, we had our Junior-Senior Prom. The theme of the prom was the “Old South”. After three years of High School we finally reached our Senior year. We chose as our officers, Jim Payne, President; Marion Baker, Vice Presi- dent; Mary Grivett, Secretary-Treasurer; Curt Biehn and Georgia Sisk, Student Council Members; Miss Annice Willard and Mr. Wolfe, sponsors. On May 4th the Juniors entertained us by giving us a Junior-Senior Prom. As we leave O.T.H.S. and face the wide world, we shall never forget the swell times we had in our four years of high school.
