At Last They Have Arrived Seniors: Represent the changing of ideas- youth advancing to maturity, the spanning of four years-youth preparing to meet tomor- row's problemsg then comes the graduation for one hundred and thirty-six seniors in the class of nineteen hundred and forty-six. Mem- bers of the class are looking forward to the years to come, but they are also fondly look- ing back at the memories of school activities, classes, and friendships. All too soon for them the time has slipped away, but many happy memories of high school days will always re- main. One of those memories will be of the Sen- ior-lunior Prom, which put these students in a mood of gaiety as they ascended into the Stratosphere Room to the accompaniment of music by Theldon Meyers orchestra. The Star Dust background, silver planets, and moons surrounding the swaying couples scored a hit with the juniors as well as the seniors. Outstanding seniors maintained high scho- lastic records and were chosen as class rep- resentatives in National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. lndividual scholastic awards were also made to outstanding senior leaders. 26 Class members participated in, and directed many extra-curricular organizations such as Press Clubg C.A.A.3 C.R.g Hi-YQ publica- tions, speechg dramag artg and sports. The seniors chose to present as the senior play of i946 Seven Sisters , a comedy in three acts, from the Hungarian by Edith Ellis. The senior class officers and advisers are the busiest of class groups, The senior class chose Fred Foster to lead their class, with Dean Dellinger as vice-president, Betty jean lacox as secretary, Dick Roberts as treasurer, and Cyrus Dunlap as sergeant-at-arms. Fac- ulty sponsors selected to guide and direct such a capable class unit were Mrs. Rutledge and Mr. Hoppe. Other senior home room advisers were Miss Helming, Miss Ely, Mr. Furr and Mr. Montgomery. As june draws near, the seniors are being swept into a whirpool of events which leaves them both weary and exhilarated. When Commencement finally comes they will be reluctant to leave the familiar haunts and facesg yet they will be spurred on by a de- sire to explore the future.
