Formal, where Class of '46, dressed in his best, dances to the music of Raymond Caddell's orchestra. As the scene closes, we see Class of 46 sorrowfully bidding farewell to his friend, Class of '45, and gazing ex- pectantly into the future. Scene III Selling: Senior High School. Time: 1945-1946. As the final scene opens, Class of '46 appears on the stage as the Seniors of '46. With the election of Walter Moorman, President of the Senior Class; Teddy Young, Vice-President; Betty Harrell, Secretary; Townes Thomas, Treasurer; and Miss Alice Brunson, Sponsor, the year starts off in a big way. The first business is the sale of maga- zine subscriptions to finance the annual. This venture is an outstanding success (as the annual shows), and once again proves that Class of '46” is a go-getter. Class of '46,” being the first class to choose and order its rings during the junior year, enthusiastically welcomes their arrival in November. December brings forth the 1946 Flor- entine staff, which sets to work early in the month. On January 1st, the powerful Yellow Jackets triumph over the favored Pee Dee All-Stars in the first annual Tobacco Bowl Game to finish their successful football season. The Cat and the Canary,” a thrill- ing mystery, directed by Abbott E. Lake, Jr., is presented on the night of February 8th. Once again Class of '46” demon- strates his dramatic ability, and the per- formance reflects great credit on both the director and the actors. Reigned over by Ramona Samra, the 1946 May Court is a scene of beauty. The stately Queen, her lovely attendants in their soft hued gowns, and the flower- banked setting combine to make this an unforgettable occasion. Commencement night, the climax of eleven years of school life, is faced by Class of '46, who is determined to make the utmost of his learning in the years which lie ahead. So, as he bids fare- well to Florence High, the curtain de- scends on the final act of this drama. 12
