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.
