b On April 30 the Seniors journeyed to school for their Slouch Day. Many of the seniors were dressed up pretty cute. Junior Sealey was the only boy that was dressed like a girl. He wore a black hat, wig with curls, sweater, sjiirt, red shoes and silk hose.' He was carrying a lady’s purse. He looked funny and acted funny, Retha C.-.eoch was dressed as a mountaineer i-cm the hills of Kentucky. She wore riding breeches stuffed with pillows, straw hat, was barefooted and carried a shotgun. Virginia Nyberg must have overslept that morn- ing a.s she came to sciiool in a pair of gaily striked pajamas. Delores Rhode must have robbed her great-grandmother’s trunk for an 1850 pink dress. This was really something to laugh at. At 1:00 P.M, all the Seniors met on the east side of the School House and many pictures wore taken, which we hope turn out good.

 A DICTORI ,iE GOILG ON Gear friends: The time has come for us, the graduating class of 1946 of ? Ik nigh school, to face the fact that we are going on, and Ie?v-' far all time these familiar halls, our teachers, ana our own cl 1? j tes, with whom we shall never again be associated in just the snr y. The thought of parting, paradoxical as it may seem, brir j feelings of sadness and gladness, for this chapter in life's k is ended. Tinis is written at the close of it, end we -'re turning our face toward new sc;nes and new associations. .e shall always hold in mind tenderly : nd gratefully what all of these years have meant to us, all they have brought to us, and 11 they have taught us, for we ere inevitably a part'of 11 v e live met. Never can we get away from the influence, the example, the in- terest, and the guidance of these years, and in saying farewell to you, our instructors and leaders, we say it with deep gratitude nd stirring emotion. he hope we shall go forth and do honor to our school in the years to come. ..e hope you will never have re. son to be disappoint-.c in the courses we follow or the results we grin. 0hr desire 11 tj make use of what you have done for us : s a foundation for tn bui i - ings of lives and services of which you will be proud. We are going on. We would not stay, but yet the old ti .s We do not want to break them but r.ther lengthen end strengt a ;r m. We are glad to go on and know in the last analysis you are g -a tc have us. Life means growth and growth me; ns progress. It gives us gre- t joy that we have succeeded in completing ti.e course of study prescribed for us here, and v.-e re rerdy'for the next step of our journey u? the heights of knowledge. We - re glfid that we -ire going forward; glad that further arA Li- eges await; gl-d th: t we ht we measured up, in some degree ft Is , to the expectations and hopes of parents who have covet.d the b .s for us and have been ready to sacrifice countless times. 'We th nk them for the visions they have given us of -hat life may be made t. mean. , You may think that we, in our youth, have taken such as is Li- us and taken it thoughtlessly all too often. But in this hour a assure you that the tnoughts of youth are long-long thoughts ar. all too frequently what is in our hearts comes not to our Libs, find expression in words. We thank you t 11 for what you have done for us and in bid-, ir.' you farewell, we, the Gloss of 1946 of this dear old school, ao it with a te.-r, a sigh, nd o smile, as our ship draws out of «o Ujpth .
