LL.. U I JL Klum, By Sarah Mamlolen Three years and nine months ago we sen- iors of today were not the awesome creatures we now purport to be. We were mere children, hurryina, on that bright sunny day, to the stately building on Allegheny Street where we were to become freshmen and the Class of 1946. Then there were almost two hundred of us. But since that time we have reduced our ranks to approxi- mately one hundred. Indeed, we should not have this many members today if all of us who went home that first day so determined never to return had kept our resolutions. However, after the first few weeks we discovered the building wasn't so vast, and the bark of the upperclassmen was worse than their bite. And so, after acclimating ourselves to sur- rounding conditions, we managed with the help of our class adviser, Mr. Vairo, to select the fol- lowing class officers: William Levegood, presi- dent, William Reid, vice-president, Mary Ed- wards, secretary, Anna Mae Lytle, assistant sec- retary, and Barbara Carpenter, treasurer. We sponsored a class party which was the only social event of our freshman year. As sophomores we felt gratified when we were allowed to select class rings and elect the following class officers: Edward Hawkins, presi- dent, Fred Lake, vice-president, Mary Edwards, secretary, and Cecil Thompson, treasurer. With Mr. Keiler, our class adviser, assisting us we sponsored a school party and a roller-skating party. In our junior year we really began to gain importance. We started by selecting as class president one whom we had previously found capable of guiding our class through the respon- sibilities which were ours. That president was none other than Edward Hawkins. As vice- president we elected Fred Lake, as secretary, Mary Edwards, and as treasurer, Richard Hunter. Under the tutelage of these officers we suc- cessfully staged our class play, Life Begins at Sixteen, and the annual iunior prom at which we entertained the Class of 1945. A successful school party was also conducted through our efforts that year. Early in our senior year we again pinned our faith on Edward Hawkins to pilot us through 'fthe trials and tribulations of our last term. To assist him we chose the following: Gary Derr, vice-president, Mary Edwards, secretary, and Richard Hunter, treasurer. ln the fall we again sponsored an entertaining school party to start the social season rolling. Our class play, Brother Goose, presented in November, was deemed a huge success by all who attended and marked another successful hurdle in the year's events. Now, as this last year draws to a close, we look forward with eagerness not untinged with regret to Class Day and Commencement. 'These four years, which seemed so long to us as we looked forward to them in 1942, have flown by with startling rapidity and bring us to our final leave-taking with regret that our paths must separate and we shall no longer enjoy together the work and play of our high school years.
