ZITTZE IS!! 5W000P5' INTO 5'ENl0R AFFAIRS' Publishing the Spy--enjoying remedial math?-presenting a novel play-plan- ning a colorful Dutch party-these were some of the activities which kept the Seniors busy this year. Art Thoman, president of the class, got us off to a good start and then deserted us for the Navy. Jim Bates stepped into the presidential shoes for the remaider of the year and did a splendid job with the aid of Max Craner and Farina. The class of 1946 has played an import- ant part in all Galion High School affairs, sports, organizations, dramatic and musi- cal activities, and has of course excelled in keeping the scholastic attainment of the school at an unprecedented level. It seem strange now that after twelve years our school days are over. The event we have eagerly anticipated for years--grad- uation-is at hand and oddly enough it gives us a queer feeling to think of leaving these rooms where so often we have chafed at the confinement. Soon the class of 1946 will be scattered far and wide and our life together as toilers in the pursuit of education will be but a memory. We leave behind a few initials carved on the desks against the rules of the Student Guidance Bulletin, a few trophies in the case in the main corridor, a few names scrawled on the scenery in the auditorium. We take with us a host of memories of cheers and laughter, brilliant classroom sallies, the solemnity of a com- mencement procession, and a Spy filled with pictures of friends to keep always as a link with these happy years now ended.
