IDedicatio ru UUivii the publication of this annual, there has arisen among the graduates mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. Their happiness stems from an appreciation for the return of a ast number of the alumni of Junior College who have traveled the corners of the world fighting for that which is right and just. Their sorrow is felt for those alumni of the college who marched off to war never to return. It is with gratitude that we dedicate this, the first annual of the college, to the eighteen Gold Star Heroes who fought and died that others might enjoy the pri ileges they themselves will never experience.

Qlass istory We, the class of 1946, entered the halls of Palm Beach Junior College September 7, 1944, with the dignity becoming high school graduates of three months standing, but it took only a few hours to deflate our egoes and. convince us that our ignorance was showing. Our number, which was somewhat larger than it is now, included some member of that rare specie, man. Alas and alack! They, too, soon were drafted into the services and we were left, even as we are now, a class of girls! To guide our faltering footsteps we were given a freshman sponser. Miss Frances Howell, who performed a remarkable job of keeping her charges in check. There were still others to guide us, for each girl was given a Big Sister who was one of those fabulous creatures called sophomores. They helped to mother us during our nursery days at Junior College and the sophomore class even gave a kid party for us, just to make the infants feel at home. We were beginning to feel as if we really were something m the college circle when our big sisters turned traitors and made us come to school dressed in such a manner that even our families disowned us and our friends crossed the street to avoid meeting us. But although we complained vociferously, we had a wonderful time during that week and would not trade the memory for anything! The year was filled with events: the Christmas dance, themes, the Advisory Board dance, chemistry experiments, the W. A. A. field day, and exams. Wc initiated a freshman edition of the Beachcomber in hopes of starting a tradition. Then at the end of the year came the banquet and dance given in honor of the graduating class— and we were on our way to the top seats in the college. Thus, on September 6, 1945, we became the dignified sophomores of Palm Beach Junior College, but it took some time lor everyone to realize that we were there at last. Even the teachers could scarcely believe it. Yvonne Whiting was elected student body president and with the aid of Miss Marian F. Morse, things began to fall into place again. Yes, we made life miserable for the freshmen, too, and in this manner enjoyed our sweet revenge, but it would have been still sweeter if we could have had the revenge on our own tormenters. The year has seen the accomplishment of a great many things. We have enjoyed the many parties and dances gi ' en by all the organizations in the college, especially those given by the steadily increasing Esquire Club. The patio behind the SUB has been added. We have also initiated the dri ' e to have an annual for the graduating class in place of the larger edition of the Beachcomber. Now, May 28, 1946, is the day of days! the dreams of caps, gowns and diplomas have become actualities, and we arc left with many pleasant memories of the gay and happy times we ha e had at Junior College. (Last l£)ill and ' Testament (State of Florida jCouNTY OF Palm Beach We, the Sophomore Class of 1946, being fully aware of the fact that our sojurn in Palm Beach Junior College is drawing to a close, and realizing that many things in our possession will be of little value to us henceforth; being possessed of sound mind and good health, do leave these ' aluable possessions to those who may benefit most by them.

Bishop In December of 1937 the Phi Da Di was organized by ten students of the Junior College to provide a social and service organization for the men of the student body. From its original membership of ten, the organization has increased in number to include 69 men, of whom eight were lost in World War II. During the war years of 1943 to 1946, the Phi Da Di was disbanded but in the spring of this year, when sufficient members had returned to civilian life, the organization was reestablished. Following an election of temporary officers, regular meetings were called and new members were selected from the student body. The purpose was to make the Phi Da Di once more a representative organization of the men of the Junior College. Regular officers were elected from the new members and the Phi Da Di has now resumed its former position on the campus. Stvixient Murses .y Back row, left to right: Grace Oestumun, Ma rotvet Cnrr.

Imagine meetin ' you here. Some house party Yvonne is having. Nice man, this Van Horn she married; understand he ' s one of the richest men in the country. Quite a few celebrities in the crowd; so we ' ll probably enjoy it even if we do stand around like country cousins. See that girl standing there with all the men around her? That ' s Frances Mayhew. She ' s Miss America now, you know. Notice that hat she ' s wearing— that is if you can call that ball of puff a hat; at any rate that ' s one of Jackie Henry ' s creations. Jackie is in Paris now; she ' s one of the leading milliners of the world. 0 ' er there in the corner is Bettve Alderman; she now owns controlling stock in a utility company. Plenty of money back of that woman. She and Senator Hoffman— you remember Julie —are discussing the latest attempts at public ownership. Some person this Julie; managed to clean up California ' s politics. Mary and Sara ha ' e just returned from a trip to the Orient. By the way, have you read their latest book about their travels? It ' s on the best-seller list now. Wonder what kind of entertainment they have planned for us? There ' s the tennis match this afternon with Jean Delburn playing for the national championship. Maybe they have managed to get tickets for Virginia Cartwright ' s new show. She ' s now the first lady of the theatre and is opening in a Noel Coward play. Have you noticed the group of dignified women standing by the window; don ' t you recognize them? Yes, I thought you would. After all, they ' re the leading religious educators in the nation. Margaret Anderson, Blanchie Burgess and Doris Meebold have done a lot of good; particularly during the depression. Before I forget, let me tell you who I bumped into the other day in the children ' s department of Smith ' s. The former Evelyn Johnson was buying rompers for hei last set of twins. Incidently, Mary Lumpkin married a steel magnet, and Shirley Bryan married someone named Dowis and has four children. Sally Sentelle married that chiropiactor and is now living in Mississippi. Dulcie Aud IS married too, but she married a movie star, of all things! I suppose you know that Earldine Watkins married a New York banker— wonder if she will be here this evening. Her sister Eva is married to a French diplomat. Mary Lynn married the Stambaugh boy ten years ago and is now li ' ing in Cuba. It ' s a pity she couldn ' t be here. Some party this is; everybody and his brother is here. Did I tell you that Anna Bresnahan married a Vv est Palm Beach boy? Well, she did. See that tall pretty woman over there with the sandwich? That ' s the famous criminal lawyer, Dolly Rutlege. They told me a few minutes ago that she buys all her gowns from Jean and Marianne. You know those two. Jean King and Marianne Wooten. They now ha e the most exclusive dress shop on Fifth Avenue. Course there were good at dress designing even in college. It is a pity that Juanita Clemens couldn ' t be here this week-end, but she had to fly to Washington on secret business. I suppose you know that she is one of the foremost authorities on languages. There seems to be a bridge game on the terrace. Get your coffee and let ' s go out there. People used to think that Culbertson was the latest authority on bridge before Ann Josey wrote her book of bridge rules. Recognize those girls playing with Ann? 1 hey ' re Jean 1 lockett, organist at The Little Church around the Corner ; Pat Pole, secretary to a brain surgeon; and Cookie Meerdink, laboratory technician. All have become exactly what they wanted to be. Norma Eells, the new television sensation, was here last week-end with liny Peters, the famous textile designer. I suppose it ' s time to dress for dinner so I ' ll meet you later in the dining room. It ' s been fun chatting with you. hose l ho S T ' d Adams. Charles B. Adams. John J.

Miss Edna Wilson was chosen the Association ' s advisor. Later, due to resignations, the following completed the year in these offices: Annella Kunkel, president: Marian Gibbs. first vice president; Sally Meebold, correspondence secretary.
