ass Way back in 1942-3, thirty-two fully alert Frosh began high school life in the lowly haunts of the Music Room. But don't for a minute think that because the class was in a low place we were '‘low-down''! The upper- classmen of that year had to admit, grudging- ly. that the Freshmen were not of the usual haphazard quality. Led by President Don Allen, Vice-President Norman Pulver, Secre- tary-Treasurer Marion Ormsby, Student Coun- cillors Reta Rozell and Bobby Bethel, and Stu- dent Court Justice Grace Perkins, the 46'ers very nearly acquired possession of the inter- class trophy, losing out by the gigantic margin of three-quarters of a point1 This has continually rankled us, as a simple matter of attendance was what kept the trophy from adorning our home room wall. Back of all this inspiration and school spirit was Miss Jane Wilson—our faculty advisor and special friend, who will long be remembered by us for starting us on the first rungs of the Ladder to Success. Swinging upward to the Study Hall to win more laurels, our second year of high school found us governed by President Keith Mona- han, Vice-President Marion Ormsby, Secre- tary Lizzie York, and Treasurer Nancy Hughes. Miss Marcia LeValley, our advisor, ably guided us in the two successful class parties and our other activities. Honor came to the Sophs when Fay Paul became Vice-President of the Student Association. Mildred Le- Barron was the other council representative, while George Vickery held down the Student Court for us The interclass sports progrcm was suspended, due to the fact that many boys had left high school for the service or important war work. Miss Vogt, however, ar- ranged an intramural program and a large number of Sophomores won letters under this system. 1944 - 45! Advancing to the higher aris- tocracy (Juniors, that is) the class of '46 chose Fay Paul to preside over them and Arthur Wendell to assist him. Doro'.hy Burnham handled all the correspondence and recorded the class activities Florence Even: hcd charge of our ever-increasing treasury, end did an admirable job. George Vickery and Grace Perkins represented us on the Student Council, where Grace was secretary. Reta Rocell was Junior Justice of the Student Court V e unique 46'ers started the ball down the alley with repeated waste paper collections that netted us a tidy sum toward our Easter trip. Class rings were ordered early, and arrived shortly after Christmas. Everyone agreed that they were exquisite—but natch! cf Gaining momentum, the ball finished its jour- ney down the alley with a perfect strike— the annual Junior Prom. We called it The Dragon Festival ; Chinese lanterns and deco- rations set the atmosphere for the unusual affair. Amid this splendor Grace Perkins be- came Queen of the Prom, with Reta Rozell as her lady-in-waiting. The Festival was a finan- cial success as well as a social one, increas- ing our treasury to no small extent. A class hike completed our third year of high school. Miss Elva Tarbell was our Junior faculty advisor and aided us so greatly that we again chose her as advisor for our last year at H. L C. S. (We were confused for a time as to what to call her—she became Mrs. during the summer vacation—but we soon became used to the new title.) Nineteen future world citizens all ! We again chose Fay Paul to preside over us; Liz York was elected Vice - President, Nancy Hughes was Secretary and Reta Rozell, Trea- urer. Liz York and Robert Bethel were council representatives and Robert handled the sec- retarial work. Fay Paul was President of the Student Association. Norm Pulver and Grace Perkins were Student Court members, with Norm as Chief Justice and Grace, Secretary. The Seniors took more honors when Art Wen- dell was elected chairman of both the Service and Traffic Committees. 1945-46 has been a busy year for us, what with the year book, the Easter trip, Senior Ball and all of the various other activities in which we participated. Florence Evens edited the year book, with Grace Perkins as her business manager; this successful edition of the Hi Lights is a tribute to their leadership and to the co-operation of the class as a whole. Another high light of this year was the Saint Patrick’s Ball , a semi-formal dance at the Hadley Town Hall. Each homeroom nominated a candidate for Sweetheart of the Irish and Joan Eckert, the victor, was crown- ed by President Paul. This successful dance was a close rival to the previous Dragon Festival”. With the return of interclass sports the class of 1946 had our vengeance and led the com- petition for the interclass trophy with a sub- stantial margin of points. Little did we realize that when we started high school, four years could pass by so quickly and eventfully. We are now rather sorry that our days at H. L. C. S. are finished, and it is certain that we will always remem- ber the friends, pleasures and knowledge that we gained here. The 46'ers say, Goodbye ! ! [9]

All in all, it was a very successful year and we are all looking ahead to next year being more so. [HI
