[Juste. GIgAA. 1946 Salutatonan: Bruce MeGarvey Valedictorian: Nancy Burkhart About to enter the world of adult life, the June class of 1946 chose Tomorrow Is Ours as the theme for their commencement. The motto was picked because they thought it was appropriate for the role that youth must play. Bottoms Up, an original comedy written by Harold Gregory, radio and speech teacher at Southwest, was chosen as the class play. It is the story of life on a college campus. The leading characters were Janet Wampler and Marge Reinertsen as Linda Howard, the campus queen; Tom Lundquist as Algic Higgens; John Thomasberg as Billy Drake, Beta Chi president; and Alan Moss and Jim Rognas as Bulge Doolittle, his friend. The play had stirring suspense, wit, and rollicking humor. On June 7, the seniors held their annual junior-senior prom. With a good band and a highly polished dance floor the gymnasium, converted into a ballroom, was packed with fun-loving juniors and seniors.
