.Making Back mm' Ahead Nineteen hundred and forty-six brings to a close four years of high school. Speaking for myself, I can honestly say that I can look back over these years and wish I had them to do all over again. I'm crazy you think? Maybe, but I hardly think so. During these four years I have made a good many friends, some I shall probably never see again. Yet, I feel that much richer for having known them. Others I shall never lose complete contact with. These few are my friends for life. There are other things that I remember, too-little things -unimportant to anyone but me-things like trying to recite Latin with a changing voice, or trying to concentrate on algebra in the balmy spring weather, or fooling away a period. or cutting a couple of classes. All these things I will miss in the years to come. We're going out into the world, the class of forty-six. My classmates and Ihave spent the last four years in preparation for this. We are now leaving one world behind. A new way of life-a new world lies before us. It will be a won- derful world, if we want it, full of opportunity, joy, and a little sorrow. Some of us know what we're going to do-others don't. However, we are now leaving high school and going to meet a challenge-the challenge of the youth of the world. It is youthls world, to make or break. Let us go to meet that challenge. Let us not fail! CARLA Cnooxlsn, '46, JEAN ROBINSON, '46, DOLORES BETTEZ, '46, WILLIAM LOWELL, '46, Twen fy-one

Also they sponsored the transportation for the tournament at Lew- iston for which the students are very thankful! In February the Council put out the VV Hand Book which included among other interesting and informa- tive articles the School Cheers and Songs, Sport,s Writeups and the Class Officers.
