IHEIHUHIES WITH THE final strains of Verdi's Triumphal lVIarch one night in early June, the last senior had climbed rather shakily to the stage of the auditorium, this was the climax of twelve years of cram- ming and waiting, waiting for that night of nights - Commencement! But wait! As these seniors cross the stage and receive their diplo- mas, let us stop for a moment to turn the pages of Seniors of '46 -Class History. just what do these cap and gown clad forty- sixers remember as the time for their departure from Kane High draws near? Destined to form the class of 1946, we first entered Kane Highls halls of learning in the fall of '42, just freshmen to most people but to ourselves classmates launching on a new career. During this first year we had many new and valuable ex- periences - the girls in the culin- ary arts through home economics, the boys in second-string football with its bumps and bruises. To- ward the end of the year we began to take part in the extra-curricular activities of the school, and we held what was to be the first of our now famous class get-togethers, a Halloween Party in the old gym. Time marched on and we became gay, care- free, sophomores with a little more work and a little less time to do it in. Some of us even helped to plan the school, council-sponsored dances and others served on committees or took part in the various drives. ln early spring we added another social event to our cal- endar, a picnic at Glenwood Park with games and eats as the main attractions. After two long years we were upperclassmen at last, but We soon found that being a junior wasn't all glory. Besides the added burden of more and tough- er subjects, our talents were in demand for Hi-Life, HURRI-KANE, club programs and assemblies. However, every class must have its social events and we had more than our share in ,45. In December we held our famed junior party, mistletoe and all. Be- sides mistletoe, a singing Santa Claus, round and square dancing, and an all-junior program high- lighted the evening. This gala event will long be re- membered as one of the high spots of our school ca- reer. For the first time in many years, our class pre- sented an all-school-cast junior play. Junior Miss of Broadway and Hollywood fame was truly a hit. An informal afternoon at Wildcat Park and an all- junior assembly proved once more that our class was on the beam. Finally, after weeks of preparation CID Typical senior locker - feminine version. CZJ Bring on the proces- sional!

K4-J Former classmate Fred home on leave. we sponso1'ed the traditional Junior-Senior Prom and danced to the sweet music of Fredi-Rico's or- chestra, surrounded by April showers decorations which proved to be very appropriate indeed. Seniors - yes, at last we had reached the top rung of our ladder to success at K. H. S. But along with our pinnacle position, we were expected to show leadership and set examples for the under- classmen. And that we didl Any class following our schedule as seniors will have a year to remem- ber, to say the least. Hopes of a trip to Washing- ton were short lived when an agent could not be secured to handle the trip and plans for hotel reser- vations just didn't materialize. However, we shook these setbacks aside and determined to have our fun here at home. ln late fall we held our first class party in the cafeteria. Sixfeen in August proved to be our second stage hit and our spirits soared. Next, we dined and danced at the ritzy Penn-Kane Hotel, took the next day off as Senior Day, and then danced that night as guests of the juniors at the spring Prom. Now came final exams, vespers, commence- ment, moving up exercises, another class dance, and finally we found ourselves dance guests of a grand group of people who adorned us with a new title - Alumni l WE CLIMAXED FOUR EVENTFUL YEARS 17
