This year we worked very hard toward making money. We very successfully carried on a magazine sale which resulted in a large profit. Next, we spon- sored the annual Penny Carnival which added to our treasury. We gave a movie, The Big Fix, also as a fund raising project. Next came our class play, Spring Fever, a three-act comedy produced under the fine direction of Mr. McMinimy. Later, as we had all worked quite hard, we decided to enter- tain ourselves at a card party which was held in the Home Economics room. In early May we entertained the seniors with the annual Banquet and Prom which we held in the Lincoln-Douglas Hotel Ballroom in Quincy, Illinois. Many of us also enjoyed a movie while for others, the roller rink was the main attraction. School in 1948 began in September and it was no longer a Community High School but a Community Consolidated High School. This year, Donald Ale- shire, Billy Burton, Bob Cox, Donna Dowacter, Eileen Hancox, Mary Jane Hendricks, Betty Kendall, Dolores Phillips, Arthur Roberts, Forrest Stock- well, Imogene Stoneking, Eleanor Simmons, Marion Simmons, Ray Kamm, and Kennith Hays were known as seniors. We were also very glad to hear that Dene Cludray had recovered sufhciently from his injuries to have spe- cial instruction, which was given by Mrs. Juanita Scott, and would be able to graduate with us. Those elected as officers were president, Mary Jane Hen- dricksg vice-president, Bob Cox, secretary-treasurer, Eleanor Simmons 5 reporter, Kenny Hays. This, too, was a very busy year. In November, we joined with the juniors and again the Penny Carnival, with an added Variety Show, was presented. Our class play, The Campbells Are Coming, a hilarious hillbilly comedy, scored a direct hit when it was presented. As another fund raising scheme we were permitted to sell pencils and a large variety of school paper all dur- ing the year, and in April We held a bake sale which netted several dollars for our treasury. Our annual staff was elected and by mid-year had started its workin earnest on the The Plymouth Rock. The annual senior trip is to be a three-day stay in Chicago, beginning the evening of May 24. Baccalaureate exercises will be held on May 28 at the Baptist Church and Commencement will be on the evening of May 31 at the Congregational Church.
