S. a) Cie of 46 hon hacks aan “Last name, first” ... that’s the way we came into this school, and that’s the way we line up for our sheep- skins, as we leave the class of 1946. Twelve long years ago, taking a nap meant resting on our little kindergarden rugs instead of snatching a snooze in study hall and classes. Since those carefree days we have come a long, long way; we have changed schools, changed in habits and ideas, changed in physical sizes and appearance, we have lost old friends and made new ones. Yet when the class of ’46 graduates, many of us will have gone to school together for twelve or thirteen years. The last three of these years we have spent together as an organized class in the halls of this big, rambling, active place—the Elkhart High School. “The public schools are getting awfully public,” teachers said in the fall of 43, when some 600 of us came in wandering and wondering; however, we eventually convinced them that we were not so bad and they decided to let us stay. So we organized with the help of our good friend Mrs. Fox, who has stuck faithfully by us ever since and Mr. G. Woodruff. We elected Bob Brown as president, and getting into a rut which for once was a good one, kept him there until he finished his duties on January 25, 1946. Gordan Anderson, an all-around guy, was our vice-president; Pat Cullen, secretary; Margaret Doll, treasurer; and Harriet Holdeman and Bob Holder- man, social chairmen, We felt that school would be a pretty dull place just studying, so we held our first party “The Flannel Fling” Eighteen in the school cafeteria. Natch, we wore the latest style: plaid shirts. All in all, we were gradually getting to feel that we were part of the school, yelling at games, loafing in halls, taking part in things. We struggled through our Sophomore year with such things as geometry, biology, Latin. “Well, we made it”, we said to ourselves as the school year ended. During the summer we held a picnic at McNaughton Park. In spite of the fact that many of the class did not come, we had a good time. Swarts and Primavera still boast about the baseball game. Then came the month of September and school. We were juniors; in grade school we had dreamed of being important high school kids and now we felt sure we were; we really belonged. We joined everything, we helped run everything. Didn’t that swell class jewelry prove that we were it? As Juniors we kept the same sponsors and chose the following students to take the lead in our activities: President, Bob Brown; vice-president, Kenneth Ingram; secretary, Byron Haines; treasurer, Margaret Doll; social chairmen, Pat Cullen and Bob Holderman. By the time we were organized we were feeling our oats; we were the best class E. H. S. had ever seen, we admitted freely. Look us over; in athletics there were Brown, Bugh, Hoffman, Primavera, Swarts; in music, Bliss, Ingram, Anderson, Higgason; in dramatics and radio, Simmons, Estes, Holderman; publications, Troyer, Thompson, Cullen, Cadman, Black; Club activities, Doll,
