The members of the class bought over S300 worth of war stamps and bonds during the school season. The outstanding event of the year was the Charade party held at the Lesch home. Miss Eileen Lynott and Miss Lora Miller were the class advisers. Betty Williams was the Presi- dent, Mary Laible the Vice-President, and Beth Ann Jury the Secretary-Treasure: The Sophomore year was begun with onl twenty-nine members. With an eye to the Banquet the next year, the class feverishly sold pop at the games and at the noon hour. Their food stand at the County Track Meet was a decided success. This year the class sold war stamps and bonds to the entire student body. Robert lngold served as President, Mary Laible as Vice-President and David Razo as Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Miller again was the class adviser. The Junior year was packed full of activities for the class of '46, With Coach Eihausen as class adviser and chief hamburger frier, the Fall Festival stand cleared almost S100. The class play, The Mad Hatters, succeeded in keeping the audience in stitches the whole evening. ln the spring, the Junior- Senior Banquet and Ball climaxed a successful season. President David Razo, Vice-President Beth Jury, and Secretary-Treasurer Betty Williams, guided the class through their social functions and business matters. The season of '45-'46 was begun with only twenty-three members. David and Richard Razo, Mary Laible, and Ruth Winkler were no longer with us. Beth Ann Jury served as President, John Hawk as Vice-President, and Amanda Knoblauch as Secretary-Treasurer. Mrs. Helen Wagner was chosen as class adviser. Aunt Cathie's Cat under the able direction of Miss Alice Morrison, was presented to a capacity audience in the late fall. During their entire high school career, the members of the class of '46 built up a reputation for being a very cooperative class. The members have taken part in the different school activities, includ- ing material and athletic contests. BETH ANN JURy 1946 D A. R Citizen- MARILYN MYERS and KATHLEEN WAL ship Award winner.

The F. H. A. Club was formerly called the Home Economics Club but this year they took the national name of the Future Homemakers ol America. The club held a weiner roast on October 29, '45 when the Freshmen were initiated to the club. They were required to wear various types ol cosnrmes, and all had vegetable corsages. At the beginning ol the year names were drawn lor a secret pal. Through out the year gilts were exchanged at Christmas and on Birthdays. The F. H. A. girls decided to write to pen pals in other countries. The countries to which they wrote were: Scotland, Eng- land, Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Hawaii, Canada, lreland, and France.
