61455 propeecy It was the night ot the graduation of the Class of 1946. From inside the school came the deep tones of solemn music which grew taint on the warm summer air, There was a mingling of many emotionsehappiness, pride, sad- ness; but there Was no deeper sadness than that of Mooch. Mooch, tor the benefit of those still unintormed, is the spirit of the Class of '46. For four years he shared the experiences of his classesuffering When it tailed, exalting when it triumphed. Now it would no longer be a whole, but would scattereeach member in his own direction, thinking only of the bright future. As Mooch sat on the steps at the school, fighting the lost feeling which was enveloping him, he heard the final notes of the music, the first shouts of laughter and congratu- lations Feeling absolutely useless, he retreated from the tide at human voices into his far away spirit land. Important events loomed on the horizon, happened, and became history. Boys and girls grew into men and women as fifteen years sped byv . . , Mooch, floating happily about in his spirit land, tilled With pleasure as he gazed about at the blue heavens and the misty clouds sailing above and below him. He thought of other pleasant days of his youtheot his adopted Class, and wondered what had become of it. His duties in spirit land were finished for a timewhe would take a vacatiqn and find out! No sooner had the idea struck him than he dived toward earth, for he was very impulsive. His first stop, naturally, was that glittering metropolis, New York. As he skimmed lazily over the surface of the crowded, bustling sidewalks, he was suddenly struck by the familiarity of a name which stood in toot-high lighted letters, Marilyn Slade, appearing as Lady MacBeth. Well, well, he mumbled, l'and look over here! lanice Barton, distinguished concert pianisteComing Soon!

Nearby. holding a viciously turning test tube, was Luther Lykins, his head chemist. ln the outer office, Roberta Arnold and Ieanne Hautz were kept busy interviewing bewildered inventors. One at these, looking a little wilder than most. was Bill Albertson with an atomic yoeyo, which, he predicted, would take all the drudgery from that popular sport, On Fifth Avenue, Mooch spotted Marjorie Iohnson hurrying towards Sak's where she is now head manager. Further along, he drifted in through the window of the l'O-Boy Modeling Agency, which was owned by Iim Tullis and photographer Roger Recher. and which boasted of the world's most beautiful girls. The beautiful Pauline Whitney, he discovered, was one of their top models, Nearby, in a modernistic, perfumed beauty salon, was Mademoiselle Jeanne d'Uetrecht, who made all old women young and all young women beautiful. She was assisted in this noble work by Connie Ferguson and Alma Brock who handle the fabulous amounts of money Which pour into the shop. Leaving New York, Mooch began winding his way across the country. In Washington there was a huge parade which he dropped down to see His eyes opened wide when he discovered Ted Gentry, now a six star general in the Army, and Senator Bob Curran riding with the President of the U. S. Eager to see more, he was once again on his way. He again settled to earth in Ohio where he saw the former Myra Miller strolling about in the gar- den of her little vine-covered cottage.

Even then promise of outstanding talents was evident. The dramatic ability of this class came into the light with the production of their puppet show, llSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The hankering along mechanical lines resulted in an actual scale airplane. Another year along divided our operations under Mr. Rickey and Miss Howard. Ever active, we produced the Operetta, iiHcmsel cmd Gretel. Our eighth grade graduation rolled up and didn't we feel extremely dignie tied with stockings and ties and diplomas? ' The first few Freshman days found us dodging furtively through corridors to escape detention by lurking upperclassmen armed with lipstick. Boys and girls were in separate homeroomsl Here began our first year of hard work and money earning schemes Remember the bake sale and that very elabo- rate Spring Dance? Always original and possessing the initiative to go with the originality, we produced three one cxct plays, HThe Valiant, Nobody Sleeps. and The Trysting Place, in our Sophomore year. The reunion of boys cmd girls in our Iunior year resulted in combined vim and vigor. Gee, is was good to be together again. In the spring we came forward with the smash hit, Days Without Daddy, Miss Duncan directing If ever hard work was rewarded. the thrilling success of our banquet and prom was well worth our striving Our first prom will have C: treasured place in all our hearts. Our Senior year found us again in the Music Room under the iniluence of Miss McAfee. We fell into a money making swing, stealing Friday nights for dances and grabbing off the tournament coke concession. Our Senior Class play was the rowdy comedy, HQuiet Everybody, ably directed by Miss Hancock. Since this was our lctst Hing, we really gave out with the dramatic farewell. The Christmas season found us dashing for holly and. green, for in the tradition ot G. H. S., we presented the annual White Christmas Dance. Every- one dressed in his best, came to enter in the Christmas Spirit and enjoyed the holiday rhythm. Prom night! How lovely! In traditional lolly Junior style, the prom was surrounded with gaiety and loveliness. Oh Glory Be! Commencement Night! There came the familiar cups and gowns, speakers and procession. Did you notice that lump in your throat as we processed to Pomp cmd Circumstance? No words can express our deep feeling of leaving behind us those happy experienced-tilled years at Greenhills. Cherished memories will always be cemented into the foundation of the school for the class of H48. So may we just say so long for C! while, see you around. Arthe.
