They are: Hamilton Shields of Stony Bottom, W. Va.; Ernest Orville Dill, Jr., of Cass, W. Va.; Ted Shinaberry and Paul McLaughlin. Granville Keller of Durbin, W. Va., completed three and one-half years before hc- entered the service. In his two years with the Seabees, he received additional credit which enables him to graduate with this class. T U HE V THE RICHEST MANSION I’ve ever entered is the chamber of my memories. Now sti oiling: through the bright corridor I’m very anxious to enter this room nearest me. Beauty greets me on every hand—silver, gold, velvet, and jewels each play a part in this wonder room. A green velvet box is right beside me in all the brilliant decorations of this enchanting place; opening the lid I find in the beds of satin a bright sparkling jewel. I pick this precious stone up and stand in amaze- ment as the many lights reflect various pictures to me. Among these I see in 1942 approximately 96 girls and boys entering Greenbank High School as Freshmen. We are typical Freshmen—green as far as this experience goes, scared and quite awkward in our daily tasks. Helping us become accustomed to our new routine we find Mr. C. A. McMillion, cur late kind principal and many dear teachers who found and won places in our hearts as well as our memories. Our sponsors were Mrs. Coyner and Mrs. Foulks. The intelligent group we found to be Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores have to some extent, begun to seem as one of us. We decided the time was at hand to elect leaders for our class and we chose for President, Albert Ash; Vice-President, Ted Shinaberry; Secretary, Mary Anne Gil- lespie; Treasurer, Amil Ervin; Representatives, Jeanne and Joanne Cover, and Cheer- leader, Beulah Dahmer. Some of the girls of our class have shown an interest for home-making by accepting the invitation to join “The Future Homemakers Club. ' The dreaded initiation proved to be more fun than misery ond we were taken into the club in a beautiful ceremony. Athletics appealed to most of the boys and we knew success would result. The F. F. A. Club won boys interested in farming, these were initiated and became proud members of this club, sporting their emblems as proof. Rooter’s Club, Glee Club, Commercial Club, and 4-H Club were other activi- ties. The school was closed once for repairs. To top the end of this year of pain and pleasure were the Home Ec, F.F.A., Class and School parties. Vacation time was at hand and we realized this year hadn’t been as bad as we had imagined. As I put this stone back into its place, I am aware of a very happy feeling, but my eye is attracted to a larger box and I open it, finding a bigger, more brilliant stone than before, its reflections richer— We returned to school, glad to see the new friends we had made the year before, and anxious to make the most of our Sophomore year, aware our color isn’t as green as last year. The officers that helped us through this year were;- President, Ted Shinaberry; Vice-President, Albert Ash; Secretary, Ida Hiner; Treasurer, Amil Er- vin; Representative and Cheerleader, Beulah Dahmer. Our sponsors for this time were Mrs. McMillion and Mr. Jefferson. A few members of our class and a few teachers were missing, but we became better acquainted with the remaining ones. Also, some new students and teachers were heartily welcomed. We had our usual activities, interesting classes and experiences. One such experience may have been an extended Christmas vacation due to stormy weather. Another one was initiating new members into our clubs. Some of our boys received their football and basketball ietters. The music class presented an extremely good musical program. We had occasional movies, assemblies, and again our parties to add stardust to our mem- ories. How soon it seemed but vacation was here once more. Replacing this gem I knew I had added another rich year to my life. Now an- other box held me spellbound as I stood on tip-toe to reach it and unclasp the lock. This lovely, lovely jewel was even more enchanting than the other two. I stood breathless as I looked at its size and beauty. The reflection it cast glowed all over this paradise of a room. A big change had been made—we were now upper classmen. Nimmie Ralston was elected President of our class of Juniors; Norman Sheets, Vice-President; Ida Hiner, Secretary; Amil Ervin, Treasurer; Ai Simth McCutcheon, Representative, and Beulah Dahmer again for Cheerleader. Mrs. Coyner and Miss Brown were our spon- sors. School was closed due to the dreaded infantile paralysis and a large snow. We had an interesting program for the presentation of the letters to the football and basketball boys who had done such grand work. We received our Home Ec. pins also this year. The Junior Play was “Crashing Society” and the Public Speaking (continued) Play ’‘Henpecked Husband”; both veiy, very good. Uncle Sam we find has seen fit to claim some of our classmates. Our beloved principal, Mr. C. A. McMillion, died in April and a new emotion of a vast vacancy existed in all hearts. Mr. Mack Brooks acted as principal the remainder of the year. The dream of a band came true this year, under the direction of Miss Johnson, and several of our members joined. In the spring with our parties came the Junior-Senior party, a very beautiful and mem- orable occasion. Some of our class were usherettes and ushers at the graduation exercises. School was once more at an end. I pondered a while before putting this stone back, but I was very thankful to have the jewel in my possession. The largest box of all these, was higher up than the rest. It wasn’t necessary to open it because with a glance I observed it was open and it was hard for me to believe such a glorious, beautiful thing could actually exist. Standing in an enchanted place I watched the next and last procession of pic- tures in the cuts of this precious gem. In this, a great year, again we met at school — forty-seven Seniors — under the new direction of Mr. Virgil B. Harris of Gassaway, our new principal. The world was at a nearer peace than in the latter three or four years and this alone was a blessing. We discovered quite a few changes being made, and we made the neces- sary adjustments. The days quickly came and went, and then we decided on our rings, calling cards and invitations. We had our Senior Party. Nimmie Ralston was again elected President of our class; Harold Wooddell, Vice-President; Ida Hiner, Secretary; Henrietta Ralston, Treasurer; Gertrude Cales, Representative, and Beulah Dahmer, Cheerleader. The fine sponsors that saw us through this year were Mr. Blackhurst and Mrs. McMillion. This is the year we see everyone as we should have seen them long ago. Mr. Harris won our hearts as did our other teachers and classmates. The busy season of football and basketball arrived, and the remaining boys got their letters. Old GHS played in the semi-finals at the tournament. Put- ting out the paper and the yearbook was a new experience for most of us, under the direction of Mrs. Williams, this year it was our turn and responsibility and without a doubt many were learned. Once again we were able to have a President’s Ball to raise funds for infantile paralysis. This was a big, big success and leaves very pleasant memories for most of us. We find so many things this year that add bits of paradise to our memories. Getting our rings was a big day, writing on our cards for classmates and friends, having others to write in our memory books each add another charm to our Senior year. Getting to dance in Physical Education made most of us very happy, and Dramatic Class which started last semester spiced the year for us, also making us proud to have some of the talent that we possess in our class. Much fun was experienced in practicing and presenting the Senior Play, “Murder Mansion.” Along with our usual parties we were pleased with the one the Juniors gave us. Now our grand finale—Baccalaureate Sermon, Class Night and Gradua- tion. It doesn’t take long to write these but thsy are more to us than we can ex- press. We’ve experienced about every emotion that exists, and now a sadness sur- rounds us, not a distressing grief—just the thoughts of good-bye to this school, classmates, friends, and teachers, which have grown so dear to us. Still gazing at this jewel I realize these four years have been too short. The bad times we’ve had have only made the good ones seem so much better. After lingering a longer time here I go to the next box, but I find it can’t be opened and I know I’ll have to wait a little longer before visiting it. Now for another look at the open velvet box which will soon be closed as the others. I am so proud to have known my dear classmates, friends and teachers. Not from conceit really, merely from my heart I feel veiy lucky and proud to be graduating with such a class as this one of ’46. Such memories are richer than diamonds and rubies. Leaving the room that is a wonder-world to me, I am convinced I want to come back . . . often. —JULIA FISHER. The Senior play. “Murder Mansion,” was presented April 23, 24, and 25. Both the cast and the director enjoyed working on this three-act mystery play. The following is a synopsis of the story: When young Cariotta Cramer, through the death of her Uncle Ewing, inherits a lonely old mansion off the coast of Maine, she can hardly wait to get to the man- sion and look it over. So, accompanied by her colored maid, Ophelia, and her Aunt Mimi Spaulding, she arrives at the mansion early one Fall evening. The instant Cariotta and her party are inside of the mansion they are subject to a set of highly mysterious and baffling incidents. By the time they succeed in locating Mary Mar- ley, the housekeeper in charge, they are in a state of near collapse- The house- keeper adds to their fears when she informs them that Carlotta’s Uncle Ewing did not die of natural causes, but that he was murdered. Cariotta and her party pre- pare to leave but they are intercepted by Inspector Hicks of Headquarters. He is with them for a short time and then disappears, the victim of foul play. A strange and exotic woman appears in the form of Madame Marie Ravoli. She insists that she is in contact with the spirit world. A few minutes before the final curtain the mysterious events are cleared up and the play ends happily for everyone.

Due to the shortage of material for making instruments the band was not as large as it would have been otherwise. The charter group consisted of twenty-three members. This year five new membeis joined the band making a total membership of twen- ty-six. Our band played marches and miscellaneous songs at the home basketball and football games. It went to Durbin Grade School on March 1 and participated in an amateur program. The money derived from this program was donated to the Pocahontas Memorial Hospital. The band was also the guest of the Greenbank Home Economics Chapter at its March meeting. This year the band will again play at both the grade and high school graduation exercises. A spring concert is one of the annual events of this group, whose members also compose the glee club. Following the concert a formal party is held by the mem- bers. They also provide music for the Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement. One of the goals of the Greenbank High School Band is to enter the football season next year dressed in new gold and blue uniforms. The officers elected by the members of the band for this year are: President, Bill Townsend; Vice-President, Ida Gaye Hiner; Secretary-Treasurer, Marian Tracy; and Representative, Virgil B. Harris, Jr. Members are as follows: Blake Breitenhirt, Clarinet; Dorothy Campbell, Cornet; L. E. Campbell, Trumpet; Martha Campbell, Cornet; Betty Ruth Conrad, Clarinet; Bob Eades, Saxophone; Berlin Galford, Percussion; Joel Hannah, Trumpet; Virgil B.

SAMMY BARLOW ADVISOR DAVID SMITH The foundation upon which the Future Farmers of America organization is built, includes leadership, character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship, and pa- triotism. The Future Farmers of America organization is a non-profit, non-political farm youth organization of voluntary membership. The organization is 100% American in its ideals and outlooks, and has no outside affiliations or secrecy in connection with any of its activities. The motto is: “Learning to do Doing to earn Earning to live Living to serve.” The Greenbank chapter is a 100% club with all students of Vocational Agricul- ture belonging to the organization. Each year the chapter has a fall party with each member bringing a friend, female or otherwise, and in the spring it has an annual Father and Son Banquet. Some of the activities of the Chapter are the preservation of wild birds by plant- ing of bird seeds and small shrubs. Each year the chapter reforests waste lands and plants productive trees and wind breakers. The chapter participates in cooperative buying and selling of seeds. ADDRESS O F ALUTATORIAN As we the Seniors of this graduating class come to the crossroads and look back to the preceding four years of our school woik, we can hear the voice of Greenbank High School. She speaks to her children and the message she gives is one tendered with the griefs, the joys, the heartaches, the sorrows, and the hopes of years gone by and of the greater ones yet to come. To us she has given everything and to her we leave the promise to uphold to the utmost the heritage she has entrusted to us. Listen while the voice of Greenbank speaks to us, the class of ’46. It was not for the past but for this moment and the moments to follow for wvjich I have prepared you. I have tried to teach you, to educate you in the ways of the world and bring you to an even standard with the rest of the world. No race is equal unless all contestants start on an even mark. Without education any person must start behind the starting point. To you I have given this training in the hope of fitting you tor an even start in a long ar.d courageous race. To you I nave given the education, the means to meet the economic world with a trained mind and to meet the youth in it on an equal basis, so that you may be capable of pursuing that which you desire. In you I have instilled the hope of advancement and the dreams that by the dint of hard work will one day come true. Because of my teachings you will be able to earn for yourself, not only a living, a means of existence, but a place in the world of industry beside of or ahead of the best. In addition to economic existence and far above economic things in import, I have prepaied you for a higner standard of living. This life ours is not merely draw- ing breath, sleeping, eating, and resting. Life has standards from the highest to the lowest. Those who are prepared do not occupy the lower rungs of the ladder but take their places on the nigncr levels. It is my hope and my sincere trust tuai in the ciays to come you will be found living a greater, fuller, and better life among the best. Your training should enable you to know and recognize those things which bring you an exalted order of living. Automatically you will accept the higher things and reject the levels which are not in accordance with your mental standards. Only by citizens of higher training can the aveiage standards of the world be raised. ou, My Children, are in etiect a selected group chosen and trained to set the high standard of living before the eyes of the rest of the world. Since the days of the long ago when God gave to Moses on Mt. Sinai the Ten Commandments, the world has striven and worked in an unending war to give lo mankind moral concepts and practices which should elevate and improve mankind. Those elements of your education which pertain to better living were not aimless or accidental, 'they were designed to bring to you an appreciation of the cleaner, the better, and the higher in life. Go forth, My Children, and never allow those pre- cepts to fade from your minds. Live not only those precepts yourselves but make them patent to others. Let this gloom-darkened world see in you a light of morality that grows not dim with the years. Children of Greenbank High School I am sending you out today to become units in a nation that is the hope of the civilization of the world. The eyes of all hu- manity are turned in pleading and hope to this land of ours—America. Never did our nation occupy such an important post. Never was this nation of ours in greater danger of a terrible fall. If America stands and maintains her position and fulfills her promise of leadership, the civilization of the world will stand and go forward. If America falls, the world will follow suit. The future of America is in your hands and those of your associate young people. I have tried to train you for civic better- ADDRESS OF A I U T A T O (continued ) ment, to show to you the importance of your citizenship in the greatest nation of the earth. Now the task is yours. With your training you take your place. The world will be watching you. Will you be good citizens or will you disappoint me in my hopes? I have loved you, My Children, and I would be grieved should you take the view that all my precepts mean only work, strife, and service to others. I have left the best for the last for I have not neglected to give you a preparation to make for your- selves a bigger, a broader, a keener, and a deeper enjoyment of this life on earth The end of existence is death and I wish for you that when you have come to the end of your years you can truthfully say, “I have not merely existed, I HAVE LIVED.” I have tried to point to you the paths which will enable you to drink from life the greatest draughts of life freely. I have opened to your minds the rich store- houses of the past. I have given to you the great treasures of immortal literature. I have made yours the deep secrets of scientific advancement. I have endowed you with the secrets which the inventor has wrested from the close-lipped Mother Nature. These are yours now, My Children, to use to broaden your own life, to make it full and free and happy. With all these things I have given you, go forth class of ’46. My confidence, my trust, my hopes, and my prayers go with you now and in the future. GERTRUDE CALES, Salutatorian.

This year it has a membership of sixty-two. This club at Greenbank High School has had 100' t completion of projects four different years, and 80 ' completion of projects for four years. Among the various activities that the members have participated in this year are: 1. Public program at the March meeting of Greenbank P. T. A. 2. Annual Achievement Banquet. The purpose of which is to present awards to members who have done outstanding work on their projects during the club year. 3. Served refreshments at the Alumni Dance and President's Ball. Field Day will be held May 11. This is also an annual event where clubs from all over the county use their athletic skill in races, ball throws, broad jumps, etc., to become the champions of the county. The Merry Wigglers won a plaque, which if won by a club three different times becomes a permanent possession, for the first time in 1943. In 1944 and 1945 it won second place at Field Day. The officers of the Greenbank Merry Wigglers this year are: PRESIDENT JOEL HANNAH VICE-PRESIDENT MARIAN TRACY SECRETARY MARY DARE HEDRICK TREASURER JIMMY WOODDELL SONG LEADERS ................. HELEN TRACY - JEANNE SHEETS CHEERLEADERS VIRGIL and GEORGE HARRIS REPORTER BETTY RUTH CONRAD The Future Homemakers, Chapter of Greenbank High School, formerly known as the Futuie Homemakers Club, is composed of GG girls. Each is striving to learn the arts of homemaking and thus be better homemakers. Many interesting and helpful things are learned from this club under the supervision of Miss Flora Post. New members are invited into the club each year, pioviding they are qualified to join. Being taken into this organization consists of one day of folly through initiation and the next day a beautiful ceremony lighted only by candlelight. The old members explain the purpose, aim, colors, pins, etc., of our group and the new ones make their pledge. Our meetings are held the first Thursday of each month during fifth period. These meetings consist of, aside from the business section, a program presented by two or three girls who were chosen the month preceding by the Vice President. The programs are of various types and prove very, very interesting as well as helpful. In the spring our thoughts turn to our annual party, when all members are per- mitted to invite whom they want to accompany them on this occasion. It goes with- out saying practically everyone has a “peach of a good time.” Every year three girls are chosen to go to the conference at either Lewisburg or Clarksburg for more ideas of progress and development from various people and groups all over the state. These represent our club and likewise give their ideas and views. The end of the school year finds us electing new officers for the coming year. This year Ida Gaye Hiner is President, Beulah Dahmer is Vice-President, Marian Tracy is Secretary, Alice Sutton is Treasurer, and Freda Rexrode is Representative. Truly without such an organization our school would be lacking in somethirg very important. ADDRESS 0 F VALE At the beginning of tonight's solemn cccasicn my classmate spoke to you in the words of Greenbank High School to her graduating children. We hear her words, we listen with respect and sincerity, we honor her and appreciate all that she has given to us. Her words of warning and ad icc do not fall on deaf ears; we hear, we heed, and to those w ho listen we hear her graduates make answer. Hearken to r.he words of the class of ’46, these words constitute our solemn promise and are in themselves our pledge to the world and to the future. Dear High School, we appreciate all the things you have done for us. You gave us happy days and the greatest experience thus far of our careers. It is true there were sad days, perhaps not understood then but better understood now. For the happy days we thank you, for the sad ones we expiess our acceptance and our hope tor a better understanding for them in the future. We believe your words you told us that you had given us an economic preparation but we are not selfish, accepting all and returning nothing. We promise that to this world we will make an economic return. We do not expect to take from the wot Id all profit as does the farmer who destroys the land for the sake of one crop bu. we shall strive to build, improve, and contribute to the economic structure of our nation. Only in such a way is the future of unborn generations safe. We long ago learned the lesson from the words of the. Master to “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.” It is our duty which we accept without question to render to our nation a reasonable return for the benefits received. Our High School has told us and we see the truth of the words that we are pre- pared for a higher standard of living. We do not expect merely to slip into that higher plane, reap the fruits of it, and depart leaving no trace behind us. No! rather shall we go into our positions realizing the imperfection of all things and deter- mined to depart leaving and vacated places better than we found them for those who shall come after. In the words of Longfellow it is our earnest hope that this class may “Departing leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. Footprints that perhaps another sailing o’er life’s solemn main a forlorn and ship-wrecked brother seeing may take heart again.” The class of 1946 is imbued with high ambitions and desires. We know that we are only a few and we know that we are not even an handful when scattered into the great masses of humanity. However this does not discourage us, rather it in- ADDRESS OF VALEDICTORIAN (continued ) creases our determination that we spread our influence far and wide. ’ Over two thousand years ago on the shores of the Lake of Galilee the Master gave us the lesson of the leaven in the bread. He taught that even the small influence from a small beginning might go through all the world and spread it’s effect to all parts. Why may we not be as the leaven in the bread? The influence of the educated as a rule determines the destiny of the nation. By holding aloft those higher ideals, those greater standards, and those better precepts we can make the world a better place in which to live. We can and we will. If we fail we shall have failed in our greatest objective. You have asked us, Greenbank, to be good citizens. We accept your request and shall be so. We realize the truth of your statement that this great nation of ours bases its chances for futuie greatness and its chances to fulfill its great obligation on the abilities and determination of its younger citizens. We have heeded your lessons which the citizen should know and we accept the responsibilities of citizen- ship with a serious mind knowing that it will not all be a path of roses. Already we see that life from now on will no longer be bounded in by the same narrow confine. Our education has let down the bars wfhich have be'fore this blocked our vision. At this point we realize that there are no horizons; but that beyond them arise only broader and greater vistas. Education has opened a way for us to enter into the fuller, more complete, and more satisfying existence. Though our training never makes us capable of earning an extra cent it is well worth while for the extended life which it brings to our doorstep. In knowledge there is power, in knowledge there is joy, in knowledge there is a deep and abiding satisfaction. All these things which I have mentioned are only a part of what we feel to be our duty to the world and in regard to them all, we the class of ’46 promise to keep all in mind which you our school have given to us. We shall practice your precepts always. This is our solemn pledge. And now to Greenbank High School, to the underclassmen, to the faculty, to che building, the grounds and all things that go together to make up that w’hich lives in our minds as Greenbank High School, the class of ’46 bids a thoughtful, sad, and reluctant Farewell. May your future be ever glorious and your honor always bright. Farewell. —IDA GAYE HINER. • V For the past few years the Roo.crs Club has been an active club of the school. The aim of the Club is to keep the school spirit up and back the team with a good cheering section.
