For the senior class, 1949-50 has been a year of progress, as were the three preceding ones. One may look in any direction and see signs of this class's accomplishments. Their victories in the fields of sports and music speak for themselves. This year's basketball team was the first in the history of the school to go to Champaign-thus becoming one of the sweet sixteen teams in the state. Above all, the seniors have proven that they are good school citizens and that they should make equally good records for themselves after they have left school. The seniors sponsored two successful dances this year. The first, The Cat's Meow, was the very successful, annual Hallowe'en Frolic. Fortune telling, darts, and movies were only a part of the activities that preceded the dance. The co-chairmen of the Frolic were Lola Nelson and Harry Blaisdell. The Arabian Nights, which was held on the last day of March, was the senior dance. Its theme and decorations concerned flying car- pets and other Arabian fantasies. Joan Engelkens and Lyle Marquis were the co-chairmen of this dance. Rotary played an important role in senior activities. Six Junior Ro- tarians were chosen every three weeks from the senior class to attend the luncheon-meetings of the Sterling Rotary Club. At these meetings the seniors not only meet some of the prominent men of the town but also learned many interesting facts fromthe informative programs pre- sented during each meeting.
