Tllli Cl.IMI3liR ll CLASS DAY ADDRESS OF WELCOME Dfxvin Fiovrus Mr. Lord, Mr. Lindell, members of the School Board, parents and friends. We welcome you to our Class Day activities, which mark an important milestone in our lives. We who have studied and played together through the many happy days of our high school career, have reached the parting of the ways. Many of us who have finished our schooling, will find jobs and start to make our place in the com- munity, while to others graduating from high school means only another step towards the completion of their education. But for all of us, the rest of our lives lies before us, a challenge, calling forth the best within us to achieve a place in the world. In the past four years a lot of history has been written. A second World War has been fought and the problems of peace are once again upon us. The hopes of mankind have been vested in the U. N. U., which represents the results of the struggles of so many, who gave their all, maybe not realizing it but nevertheless dying to protect the rights of others to live in peace. This is our hope in the future, that we may all live together in peace and harmony. It is in such a world as this that we must live and that we must take more important places. The future of world peace depends upon the future generations, upon our generation. We, being of this generation, have a role to play. We are prepared to play this part, thanks to our teachers whose loyalty and devotion to their job of preparing us has made us aware of the opportunities which are ours. To our teachers who are our best friends we give our grateful thanks, wishing them many more happy and fruitful years of service. We leave Howard High School determined to be ever guided by the motto of our class: To strive, to seek, to hnd, and not to yield. CLASS HISTORY TSMILY Tnoivias Another season rolls around and graduation is here again. Determined to reach this stepping stone in life, the Class of 1946 has completed four years of hard study - with the help of the teach- ers, of course. This magnificent, sensational, and exceptional class of brilliant scholars has been recognized throughout the four years of its career as one of the greatest classes ever to set foot in Howard High. I now take you back over these years that you may see how the history of this famous class has developed. It all began on September - ah -, well any- way, in the year 1942. The class, then in its in- fancy, tiptoed cautiously up the front steps of Howard High, carrying that precious piece of cardboard which said, promoted to the ninth grade. We sensed the glares of the upperclassmen watching our every move, but we went proudly on our way. Once inside the spacious lit says lierej building, the little class slipped quietly into Room l. There at the teacher's desk sat Miss VVeeden who was to guide us through the first step of our career. After a few weeks had passed and we had settled down to the school routine, elections were held. Mary Pross was elected President on the first ballot, the Vice-Presidency going to Leon Beau- lieu. Shirley Owens took over the Secretary's duties quite nicely, and Lester Noyes, naturally. was elected Treasurer. i A surprise calne one day in the form of a de- lightful invitation from our newly-made friends, the Sophomores, to attend a social. Not knowing what it was all about, the kind invitation was gratefully accepted. Because we were such good sports, a few harmless pranks were overlooked. .-X good time was had by all, and, indeed, the party was a success. My, how the llllle passedl .Xnd
