Everyone likes him 'cause he's full of fun. He’s just a practical joker and there is no harm done. He is known as such all around town; Frank's official title is The Senior Class Clown.” FRANK R. ZICO Ticket Committee 4 Football 4 F.F.A. 1-2-34 THANKS FOR THE MEMORY Thanks for the memory Of High School days we knew. We’re sorry now they’re through. We’ve had some fun. We’ve worried some, And worked a little, too. We thank you so much! Thanks for the memory, We love old Mercer High, For her we’d gladly die. We’ve made some friends. And as school ends We hate to say “Good-bye.” How lovely it was! Many’s the frown we have casted At teachers, we know now, were true, Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted We did have fun; And no harm done. So, thanks for the memory Of parties, games, and plays And much-loved holidays, Of thought and worry And rush and hurry With which we filled our days. We thank you so much! Words by Anna June Crawford MOTTO “Soar not too high to fall; but, stoop to rise.” —Massinger CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold CLASS FLOWER Talisman Rose Page Twenty-Nine

Glass uiutory As the last stroke of the big iron bell echoed ofT in the distance on the morning of September fourth, the Senior Class of ’46 came into being. Seeing a need of haste, we elected the following competent officers: President Gordon Miller Vice President Jack Hamilton Secretary Dorothy Cousins Treasurer Sue Emery To start the athletic activities of the school, the class responded enthusiastically to the call of the gridiron and brought to a sucessful close Mercer's first football season since 1937. In basketball, also, our class was well represented. Between the football and basketball seasons came the annual Senior Play entitled “Peg O’ My Heart.” Its .record speaks for itself and it passed by far the fondest expectations of the class. As our contribution to the social atmosphere of Mercer High School, we selected for our party the name “Senior Kick-Off” in honor of the football team. The successful party was unique in that hot dogs and pop were sold on a floor arranged like a football field. At the close of the football season, we presented the “Benefit Sweater Hop” to celebrate the occasion and to bolster the financial status of our organization. Our Junior year might well be considered our most successful social period, culminating in the Junior-Senior Prom. For this memorable time we elected the following officers: President Gordon Miller Vice President David Noble Secretary Helen Black Treasurer Doris Robinson The great snow of that year ushered in our first big event, the party “Snowball Square.” Having an ample treasury we decided to put emphasis on quality instead of money-making; and accordingly hired an orchestra, which helped us to produce a very successful party. One feature of the evening was combination round and square dancing, which appealed to all. Following the established custom of producing a play, we selected “Tish as our dramatic contribution of the year. Like our previous, as well as our Senior year, we sent three members to Mid-Western Band. It was during this time that County Chorus was innovated. In intra-mural class basketball, we had a successful year. May was important in that it was the last month of school and the date of the Prom, which passed our qualifications for a successful evening’s entertainment. Page Thirty
