May every class look forward to its senior play. We next decided to sell tickets on a ton of coal, and ten dollars. The net proceeds were forty dollars. Lucrative transactions seemed to prevail. and it was a thrill to see our capltal mcrease. Basketball was just around the corner. The team was made up of many undetelassmen, but our class produced four veterans, Sonnetr Curtis. Bobby Aronson, Chick Moran and Bud Tenerani. Bud Tenetani and Sonny Curtis shared honors as co'ca tains. The team got off to a ta ged start but rose to tie for hrst place withp Poultney. A playoff w1th Pou tney failed to gain a berth in the tourney for the hghtin Phantoms, a fact which was a blow t0 the traditional tourney champs 0 P. H. S. The season ended with another defeat by Poultney which made them League Champs. Better luck to next year's team of Proctor High.

Weeks, and months passed rapidly, and before we knew it, Commencement week had arrived. Since our entrance into high school in '42 as lowly freshmen. our class had dWindlecl considerably. The entire class re ets the absence of our former classmates, and Wlshes that all of us could have ET: P. H. St together. Woids cannot express our pride in those who are in the service of our country. Our life as high school students has ended for the class of '46.
