Memoirs d' Seniors . . honour is the subject of my story. I cannot tell what you and other men Think of this life; but, for my single self, I had as lief not be, as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself.” Shakespeare. ★ ★ ★ The graduating class of 1946 is the 25th in the series of young men and women who have left the present Betohi building to step forth into the world of business. As we effect a stately egression, after four years of preparation, we realize the benefits derived from them. The carefree life, the companionship, the satisfaction of accomplishments, all were an integral part of our school life. We leave Betohi thankful that a country at peace awaits us—a country abounding with opportunities for intellectual and social advancement. We entered our last year at Betohi impatient to be off. The shadow of war was lifted. In spite of the swiftly flying days we entertained the juniors at an Armistice Day party. A number of our class were members of the various clubs, varsity teams, and other activities. In April the juniors entertained us at the biggest social event of the year—the Junior-Senior Reception. ★ “Ghost Wanted,” a mystery-comedy in three acts, was presented by members of the senior class, May 9. The members of the cast were: Bill McManus . . Hugo Bromley Mary Alice Born . . . Madam Zolga Bob Moery..................Jeffrey Hall Peggy Koebel . . .... Azalea Bessie Halterman .
