MACBETH, Act V, Scene VIH Tragedy struck the senior class whenCarl,Tohnson and Keith Schrodt were killed in an automobile accident which occur- red Sunday night, January 20, 1957, near Champaign. Carl died early Monday morning, and Keith died during the time of Cat-1's funeral Wednesday afternoon. Keith was buried the following Saturday.

Cards of sympathy and letters expressing condolence were received from neighboring schools and their student organizations. A Keith Polio Memorial Fund was started to furnish polio inoculations for school children of Moultrie Coimty. Keith, class president for the last seven years, and Carl, president of the SHS Band, were both officers in Student Cotmcil. Keith served HS president, and Carl was parliamentarian.

He was serving as president of the Moultrie Cotmty 4-H Federation, of his local 4-H Club, the Brushy Bend Qang, and of the high school Sunday School class at the First Christian Church. He played football for three years, and was always a member of the float construction crew. Two of the big events which Carl took an active part in his junior year were the Carnival and Junior-Senior Prom. Carl always knew a way to design and construct scenery or projects. Keith was chosen a member ofthe National Honor Society as a junior. He was a star basketball player during his junior and senior years, and appeared on the varsity roster his sophomore year as well.

As class president, he always worked with window and float committees, and was always planning ways to raise money and increase the activities of the class.
