Moderato The tempo quickened-no longer were we mere Freshmen, but mighty Sophomores. Class election rolled around again. This time the favorites were: Doodle Ward, Presidentg Elaine Richards, Vice-President, Mary Caruthers, Secretary, and Bob Austin, Treasurer. The all- important event of the year was the magazine campaign. The Sophs were in there pitching and turned over the goal of 551600. We made a lot of friends f?l working our way through high school, selling a wide selection of magazines. The high flyers of this drive were Miss Elizabeth Guest's homeroom as high homeroom, and Betty Ackley as high salesman. Helping the war effort along, the class presented Betty with a twenty-five dollar war bond. Not bad . . . We thought we'd never have it . . . what?-the Soph party . . . why?-because of the flu epidemic. lt was worth waiting for . . . that gala affair. We broke tradition by having an orchestra . . . remember? The theme- American Christmas. The decorations were beautiful, but more Christmas balls were broken than were hung. Nothing but the best for our class . . . the corsages Doodle Ward, our prexy, presented to Miss Pineles and Miss Streets were really orchids . . . When we amateurs tried our hand at playwriting for Miss Eisenstein's English class, the result was a tender love scene presented for an enthusiastic auditorium audience. Who blushes? . . . You can't hold a good class down . . . we were in on the Honor Society, too, and composed not a small amount of the charter members. We were very definite in our selec- tion of class prides, weren't we? Doodle excelled in every sport . . . football was his specialty. Yes, the year certainly whizzed by . . . come on and tell the whole truth, we really had a good time that year . . . didn't we? ?inale Our Senior year approached with all the hopes and anticipations for a glorious finale to our high school careers. To start our final year we chose officers from our midst-officers who would guide us during the last precious year. President, George Black, Vice-President. Elaine Richards, Secretary, Iosette McDonough, and Treasurer, Ioe Pino. We were not a class to be idle. With the announcement of the Baconian Staff, Marcia Bolnick as editor, we began in earnest. Ad solicitors could be found in all sections of the town cornering bewildered business men. We can never forget the wonderful spirit of cooperation of the Class of '46. Leave it to the Elmer studes . . . yes, they were quarantined again . . . what next? He was here once more . . . that man with the camera. Result-yearbook pictures were taken. Were yours good? . . . mine weren't. Will they be back in time for Christmas? Oh, but we had the worries . . . When the Shakespearean authorities consulted with Miss Pineles on the yearbook assembly, we knew something great was brewing. We weren't wrong . . the balcony scene, Caesar's assassination, Chloe . . . it was good! In the meantime, any Senior you couldn't find would be in the Guidance Office, examining college booklets or arranging for post-graduation jobs. What with all the activities, we were in great need of a rest when Christmas vacation rolled around . . . It was started in the right way when Mrs. Husted's homeroom challenged Mrs. Gray's. Remember Zookie and his dis- cussion on sneeze and sneezers? We even got a lovely Christmas present from Mr. Smalley, who turned over the auditorium for our use as homeroom the entire Christmas week . . . the lovely Christmas tree . . . reindeer on the windows. By the way, did we really rest over the vacation? We all returned . . . in 1946 to a New Year of Peace. Elaine Richards was chosen to represent us as the D. A. R. pilgrim from B. H. S. We groaned over mid-year exams but they came and went . . . we were still living. Then we could sit back and worry about the Senior play and the money it just had to produce. Time was waning and the year was drawing to its climax. How we looked forward to the reception where WE were the guests!-and it was a success. The whirl of Senior activities continued . . . the unforgettable banquet and the realization that soon all these friends would be separated. Commencement practice!--Fun, but with an undercurrent of sadness. Shorts, sunburn, and sand . . . The pleasure of signing your name in the front instead of on the advertising pages, for the yearbook had come. Who would ever have believed that we would enjoy writer's cramp . . . but we did. How many names did you get? Commencement exercises . . . we had to face it, we were leaving B. H. S., our friends, our teachers and our adviser, Miss Pineles, whom we can never forget. This was itl Our high school days were over and confidently we faced the future. ' 13
