SE IOIl Thoroughly worthy of the thunderous applause they are receiving, the Seniors of 1946 step into the center ring of the big tent to begin their five-star performance. Seasoned troupers now, the Seniors weren't quite so polished in the fall of l942 when they entered A. H. S. Their only activity that year was a dance after the Pendleton basketball game. They didn't get above watering elephants in the ninth grade. Like all good workers, they were promoted, and during their Sophomore year were allowed to sell popcorn during the main show. Still rather slow about out-side activities, they did man- age to sponsor one dance and a Halloween party. Their class picnic was held at Mounds Park. VVe hear they bogged down in the mud! Really smooth operators fthey thoughtj as they became Juniors, they began looking for- ward to the time when they would be Seniors and all the classes should say Allah, Masters to them. They were in for a big let-down. They now performed in the end ring under the big top. Some of the features of this year's work were a dance after a football game with Wabash, victory over Seniors in class tourney 32-30, and another day at Mounds. Some of those happy picnickers had their fried chicken a' la gravel-clumsey! Give them time. Now-now-the band gives a fanfare-the spot-light beams on this none-the-worse-for-wear class of 1946!
