This is your narrator for the program of the evening—the activities of the class of ’46. The chief characters in our drama are the class officers. During their freshman year these parts were taken by Richard Platt, president; Bud Bleiweiss, vice president; and Janet Palmer, secretary-treasurer. The first class project on the program was the selling of Christmas Cards. These spunky freshmen on February 12, 1943 also sponsored a dance, the Freshman Frolic, featuring the debut of Jimmy Parramore’s Dixieland Band. Dick Platt did a repeat performance in his role as president in 1944. The support¬ ing cast consisted of Harry Lundgren, vice president; George Snip, secretary; Bob Richards, treasurer. These sophomores, one hundred and seventeen strong, held a dance, “The 1944 Special,” featuring Joe Horne’s Orchestra, after the Holiday Tourney. It was during this year that a member of the class, Ordell Sanders, was fatally injured in an automobile accident. In their junior year, Carl Steuer secured the coveted role as president; other important characters were Dick Platt, vice president; Bob Cleveland, secretary; and Betty Lisius, treasurer. The performance given by these people was admirable. This class gained the spotlight when they produced outstanding achievements in the field of athletics. Note also in this year that of cheerleaders chosen from the entire school, each was from the junior class. Those special lovers of the footlights participated in the junior play, that great success, “And Came the Spring.” “Tulip Time” provided the theme for the prom and Renold Young furnished the syncopated rhythm. This year Carl Steuer was again on the marquee in the part of president; Dick Platt as vice president; Rose Marie Hegan, secretary; Harry Claussen, treasurer. The entire cast contributed to a popular performance with their donkey basketball game and “Sock-hop” afterwards as one of the senior projects. All in all, the high school life of the class of ’46 has been one of many profitable experiences. This is station SENIORS signing off. Page Eighf
