26 THE BLUE AND WHITE ADDRESS OF WELCOME Members of the Faculty, beloved Parents, and Friends: It is a great honor and pleasure for me to welcome you to the Class Day exercises of the class of 1946. We thank Divine Providence on this day for enabling our welcome to extend to the former students of the Putnam High School who have helped to bring a second terrible world conflict to a victorious conclusion. The dark clouds of war, which in the past have lessened the joy and lively spirit of several similar occasions, have now been pushed aside. We are the first class to hold Class Day in the radiant sunshine of a peace that was bought at so costly a price by our older brothers and sisters. We weleorne you and ask you to join with us today and share in the fun of our last assembly. If you get as much pleasure from our reminiscences as we do from seeing you here, it seems to me that together we ought to enjoy a delightful morning. ' LOREN DUBOIS.

And, so we began. We decided upon a realistic title for our book: The Class History of '46'. Considering the structure we agreed that the book should be divided into four parts, one for each year of our high school days. We worked upon the project for some time, and it was not long before we were rewarded with the finished project. INITIATION Gladys Paine In the beginning of Part I entitled Initiation, we were plunged right into the story. The first chapter of our book opens at the beginning of our school year, Septen: ber, 1942. In our class there were eighty-four boys and girls. It certainly was a day of excitement for all of us. We spent the first day trying to become acquainted with the atmosphere of Putnam High School. Looking back on our first days spent in high school. it is difficult to believe
