CLASS GF 1946 Y., l K I OFFICERS Don Gellein Prerident Beverly Lockhart Vire President Margaret Viggers Secretary Tfeamrer Miss You ng S poumr Miss Dunn Counselor 20 The Class of 1946 has learned throughout its four years at West Seattle that the responsibilities they have shouldered have helped to equip them for the immeas- urable tasks that will con- front them as they approach maturity. When as freshmen they were given their first group responsibilities, they began to feel a part of their school under the leadership of their president, Frank Young, vice president, Jim Dahl, and secretary - treasurer Shirene Beale. Although new to the school, the freshmen could always seek advice and en- couragement from Miss Dunn, class advisor, and Miss Young, class sponsor, who have remained in these positions to help them throughout their school years. In its sophomore year the class was called on to man- age the collection of tin cans, fats, waste paper and books as their part in the Victory Corps program, aided by their president, vice president, and secretary- treasurer, respectively, Dick Solibakke, Don Olsen and Ruth Arneson. As an incentive for a drive to collect reading material for servicemen, a mock civil war was waged between the north and south ends of the school building, using books for ammunition. Through the familiar method of friendly rivalry and competition, hundreds of books were collected. The prime responsibility of the Class as juniors was the management of war bonds and stamps sales. jane Pacher as chairman and Jessie Allen as her assistant fostered a bond selling campaign that brought West Seattle the coveted Minute Man Flag, awarded to those schools having'90 per cent participation in the purchase of bonds and stamps. West Seattle was the only high school in Seattle to be awarded this flag. The class was guided in its junior year by Harwood Jepson, president, Bud Dale, vicq president, and Beverly Lockhart, secretary-treasurer. When the time-honored senior year rolled around, the class was able to comprehend the mea.uing of friendship toward all, the responsi- bility of leadership, the experience of working together and striving to make their surround- ings a more enjoyable place. Standing on the brink of the adult world did not seem nearly so terrifying as it had when they were fresh- men. The linal positions of trust were awarded to Don Gellien as president, Beverly Lockhart as 'vice president, and Margaret Viggers as secretary-treasurer. Now as these students prepare to leave the campus of West Seattle High, they set out to overcome the tasks that still remain by realizing that the path ahead is difficult and that the making and keeping of the peace lies in their hands, the youth of today.
