THE ECHO, 1926 Senior Class History Away back in the fall of 1922, we, twenty-six little Freshman, be- gan our high school career. At first, everything seemed very strange, indeed, but we soon adapted ourselves to the new ways. The first event of the new year was the organization of the class, with Miss Chism, class adviser, Clyde McQueen, president, and Garth Russel, vice-presi- dent. The Sophomores gave us a beautiful welcome at an initiation party. During the term several of our members left us, leaving only sixteen to meet again the next year. After a very pleasant vacation, we, as dignified Sophomores, re- turned to our work. We found great pleasure in initiating the Fresh- men. This year our class adviser was Miss Skinner, and our class of- ficers were Mildred Moser, president, and Margaret Maurer, vice-presi- dent. In February we gave our class play, “Mother Mine,” before an enthusiastic audience. We were very proud when ours was proclaimed the best play of the year. Our boys took an active part in athletics. We were well repreesnted on the squad of the championship baseball team, and in basketball Clyde McQueen was placed on the second all- star team in the County Tournament. In the County Meet, we were represented by Nadena Morganthaler in literary, and in athletics by Willis Diffenbaugh and Clyde McQueen, the latter winning first place in the high jump. Tne close of the term found us eagerly looking for- ward to our Junior year. We began our Junior year with the same class adviser and officers. Soon after the opening of the new term we gave a reception for the teachers. Our class play, “Cozy Corners,” was presented in December to a large and appreciative audience. Again, ours was proclaimed the best play of the year. Our boys took an active part in baseball, and Clyde was honored again in basketball, this time being made center and captain in the all-star team in the County Tournament. The bas- ketball team won second place in the County and third place in the District Tournament. In the District Meet, of the State Literary Con- test, we were represented by Nadena Morganthaler in Extemporaneous Speaking, and Mildred Moser in Instrumental. The former won first place, making her eligible to enter the State Meet at Normal, where she won third place, and the latter won third place. A great social event was the Junior-Senior banquet, which we tried to make a grand farewell. The last event for the “Jolly Juniors” was the high school picnic at Mineral Springs Park, Pekin. Esther Oelker came to us in our Senior year, raising our member- ship to seventeen. Earl Hoffman was chosen president, and Margaret Maurer vice-president. One day in September we motored to Spring- field where we visited many places of historical importance among them Lincoln’s home and monument, and the State Capitol. In the afternoon we attended the State Fair, where we enjoyed ourselves immensely. On November 19, the class went to Pyke’s Studio, Peoria, to have Com- mencement pictures taken. Early in the fall we lost one of our mem- bers, Willis Diffenbaugh, but Dorothy Wallace soon came to take his place. Again we were well represented in athletics. Our baseball team won the championship in the Corn Belt League and our basket- Pape Sixteen
