CLASS HISTORY September, 1942, remains as a hazy memory to us, the Graduating Class of 1946. That was the month we began our High School education. We entered High School with our minds firmly made up to shine in all our work. Some fell by the wayside, but most of us reached our goal with high ideals still intrenched in our minds. We were typical Freshmen, attending all of the athletic events with enthusiasm and, win or lose, our exuberance remained undaunted. Some of the more talented members of our class took part in the Stardust Revue. As we entered our Sophomore year, we walked with a firm, new step. No longer were we looked upon as lowly Freshmen. We could now feel that we were an integral part of our school since we were allowed to participate in extra curricular activities. We immediately used this priv- ilege by joining clubs, trying out for teams, and writing for the newspapers. We next took our place as Juniors. More and more of our time was taken up by various school activities. We eagerly followed the records of our football, basketball, and wrestling teams. After the Christmas vacation, our class presented the play What a Life. The leading roles were portrayed by Dick Mooney and Anne Feeney. This play was presented again for the benefit of the Junior Red Cross. Due to the initiative and the willingness to serve of many of our students, a Youth Center was established. We used one of the school's gyms for dancing and the other for games. The Lion's Club, realizing the need for such a place, agreed to sponsor it. xl s During the past three years, our school life was inter- rupted by holidays for salvage drives and major events of the Second World War. This year, our class presented the play, Janie. Richard Peters and Elaine Nagle played the leading roles. Sports occupied most of our spare time during our last year. Football and basketball seasons drew large crowds and even though we lost a few games, the team displayed the true spirit of sportsmanship. Our wrestling team won the championship again for the second straight year, Because of the success of the Youth Center the previous year, the School Board gave us larger facilities. We were granted the use of the Dorrance Street School. Mr. Flock of the Kingston Lions and Mr. Lawrence Russo, well- known sculptor, artist and designer aided us immeasur- ably in getting the building ready for use. Our class used the money that we collected through plays, dances, and other class activities for their last in- formal gathering, Class Day. All made a special effort to enjoy themselves because they knew that soon We would be widely scattered throughout the country. Senior pictures, name cards, announcements, all marked the approach of one of the most significant days of our life, Graduation. On June 9, the Baccalaureate Services were held and on June 13, our families and friends gath- ered together to see us receive our diplomas. After twelve years of preparation, we were ready for commencement. 1 mx nuIlI lnrl ,..e'XQ nr k1,I 'f,,, '31-- ' 'eff s is .f' '-,Q 2 5 'H -' 3 E - I g 1 ' 1 : : I 2 9, I --.-...- I S 0, -I i os' 1 lo ll x 9 llnlunl0 KINGSTONIAN NEWSPAPER SENIOR POPULARITY CONTEST - Girls -- - Boys - Louise Rentschler .... .....
