THE TBft.IflN 11 which to bring up our children. We are not all going to take the same vocation. Some of us will go to college to continue our scholastic careers. Some will serve in the armed forces. Some will ply the trade of their fathers and mothers. While others may reach out into the unknown and untried fields of science and research. But whatever we do after we take our places in the world as men and women here will be one aim uppermost in our hearts and minds. To achieve what those before us have started. Plans for the foundation of world peace have already been drawn and the digging started. We shall do our best to make sure that our share of the world progresses. If only the foundation is completed in our time we will have helped to accomplish something. We, the outgoing Senior Class of 194 pledge ourselves and our efforts to take up the tools laid down by those who have gone before us, and help build from the timber to the best of our ability, a better world and a lasting peace. In closing I would like to quote the words of R. L. Sharpe: Isnft it strange That princes and kings. And clowns that caper In sawdust rings. And common people Like you and me, Are builders of Eternity? Each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, A book of rules. And each must make-Ere life is flown, A stumbling block Or a stepping stone. T T ill T T U I I ill T ill I i ri 1—1 u n 11 i Homer High School is proud of its recent capable graduates, the Alumni of 1946. A check on their activities has revealed this information. Bruce Hicks, Roger Poole, and William (Bill) Snyder head the list. They are serving in the Armed Forces. We think Albion College should feel honored with our two highest scholars of last year, Betty Jean Lynn and Lawrence Wade. Bob Jones College, Cleveland, Tennessee is honored withDarell Koons, and Argubright's Business College with Harriet Howe. Five members have chosen to walk down the aisle. Mabel Tobey has become Mrs. Duane Butler; Priscilla Roseman is Mrs. Emerson Hildebrant; and Helen Smith is now Mrs. James Avery. Jeane Folk has become the bride of Harry Cutcher Jr., also of the class of '46. The Alumni of 46 is quite well represented in neighboring communities. Mary Jane Read and Charles Larder are employed in Jackson, Alberta Sharp, and James Neitzke in Albion and Maxine Easton in Coldwater. Helen Enos and Alvin Avery have employment In Tekonsha, Earl Ball and Nyle Lamb in Marshall, and Zell Rice in Battle Creek. Those who are still with us in Homer are: George Clarke, Kathleen Estelle, Norma Henderson, Bette Hickerson, Russell Trader, Don Weiss, and Harold Elston.
