HJ STORY QF THE CLASS OF '46 We, the class of 1946, well recognized as the most brilliant ever to grace the halls of Washington-Clay High School began our quest for fame in the latter part of 1943, September to be exact. As freshmen, we excelled in forming plans, few of which were ever carried past the beginning stages, but served to distinguish our class as one which was to become famous. Sponsors during our freshman year were Mr. Harke, Miss Reed, and Miss Johnston. Officers were: Jack Harrison, presidentg George Walsh, vice-president, Charles Helmen, secretary, and Barbara Sechrist, treasurer. Becoming more active in our sophomore year, we sponsored a noon movie, held a class party, and produced the play of the century, 'Make Room for Rodney. Sponsors during our sophomore year were Mr. Mark, Mr. Rogers, and Miss Dearing. Officers were: Marjorie Hosler, president, Clarence Hill, vice-presidentg Anne Green, secretary, and Betty Lou Brown, treasurer. Our junior year was begun with the presentation of a dance, 'The Harvest Hop. Financial matters entered into the picture at this time and we embarked on a maga- zine subscription campaign with the seniors as opponents. Who were victorious? Why, the juniors, naturally. In the early part of May we produced our class play, 'june Mad which will undoubtedly go down into history as the greatest production ever to grace the stage at Washington-Clay. Taking leading parts in the double cast were George Walsh and Patricia Romine in one and Charles Strom and Betty Lou Brown in the other. The junior-Senior Prom was presented May 19 with music by Myron Walz and his Orchestra. An unforgetable event, it was truly a grand climax to our junior year. Sponsors during our junior year were Mr. Mark, Mr. Rogers, and Miss Dearing. Officers were: Marjorie Hosler, presidentg Richard Asire, vice-presidentg Anne Green, secretary, and Elnora Izdepski, treasurer. Destined to be the first peace-time graduating class since the spring of 1941 we entered Washington-Clay for the last time in the fall of 1945. We were now mighty and brilliant seniors or so we told ourselves. We began the year with the presenta- tion of the 7th Annual Sweater Hop with Bud Simpson and his Orchestra as music makers. The sponsors during our senior year were Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Zeiger. Officers were: Eugene Wilson, president, Charles Helmen, vice-president, George Walsh, secretary, Phyllis Galvas, treasurerg and Richard Asire, Sgt. at Arms. Donning our dark glasses at the beginning of the year we sold schedule pencils realizing quite a profit. Later in the year a carnival was presented under the sponsorhip'of the P.T.A. and the senior class. April 26 we departed for parts unknown in the annual skip day. May ,was undoubtedly a climax for our high school career. May 15 we presented our class play, 'Our Townng May 18 we attended the Iunior-Senior Prom which featured Bud Simpson, May 24...the night of all nights...finis for the class of 1946... S
