SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One blight da in September, nineteen forty-two. the hves of some fifty high school graduates were changed by the new contacts they made. It ' s strange how matter-of-facth those green freshmen took the transition. Of course there was quite a bit of confusion until they realized that they were part of a group — a new group — and must take responsibilities in order to reap the rewards waiting for them. The days of dinks and windsor ties seemed quite novel and passed quickly — and the class of ' 46 was put on an equal basis with the upperclassmen. Our first president was Ben Hess. When the class returned in nineteen forty-three it was to find that the class was definitely reduced in the male section. The draft boards had played havoc with our class enrollment. Of course, athletics suffered with the decrease of men, but Coach found consolation in the girls ' team — and our class made great contributions to this cause. Guv Buch was elected president of our sophomore class. In nineteen forty-four we found our numbers decreased again. Many of the girls who came in with the class of 46 were taking two-year courses. It seemed strange to be so few. Regardless of the changes, the Junior Class adapted itself very well and set about performing the tasks required of it. The big event of this year was the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. The class worked hard to have a nice affair and felt repaid when the Seniors seemed to appreciate it. This year our president was Donald Lefever. Our senior vear finds the group appearing for the last time as the class of ' 46. We seemed to ha e worked so hard and long and el it didn t seem possible that we were about to lea e the hill. Although our class has had several additions, the male section is still in the minority. Florence Seaks served as president of the class in our Senior ear. We have had our share of college life now and are prepared to leave — hoping to be ai)le to create something worth-while in t he world. The most we can hope for in the future is to feel that we have been able to do something to help make our world into a united world — One World. Sij:lccn
