Mr. William C. Wolgast The genial gentleman who pulls out his horn - rimmed glasses of a Friday morning to say Now for the student an- nouncements’ will long be re- membered by the Class of 46 for his quiet humor and uncom- promising sense of justice. To Mr. Wolgast goes our whole- hearted gratitude for the les- sons he has taught us of de- mocracy in action, democracy that can be achieved only through mutual co-oper- ation. Mr. Wolgast, we wish that we were able to express this gratitude adequately. The place that you will long hold in our memories will be a testimony to you—our advisor, guardian, and sincere friend.

Mrs. Martha Van Arnam With her keen knowledge of business matters and her faithful care of multitud inous records, Mrs. Van Arnam has helped to solve many a problem of our class council since she took over the position left vacant by the loss of Miss Rowley. She has inspired to action and prog- ress all those who have worked with her, and thoroughly deserves the sincere thanks and appreciation that we leave with her today. Mr. Henry DiClemente To “‘Deke,’’ our fountain of youth, we award the ‘Man of the Year’ trophy. With the spontaneity of his countless ideas he ably took control when the loss of Mr. Roller left us advisorless. ‘“Deke’s’’ special brainstorm, ticket-buying on the installment plan, has con- tributed to the success of many of our ventures. We shall leave East High still a little awe- stricken by Mr. DiClemente’s boundless en- thusiasm and amazing vitality.
