HISTORIA DE LA CLASE DE ’46 Four years ago 112 eager freshmen entered the portals of Reedsburg High School with a glowing light of anticipation, excitement, and determination in their eyes. They had opened a door to four years of learning. There was an ultimate goal to be earned through those four years. When it was reached, the Clase de ’46 would enter a new portal opening into a new world. First and foremost in their minds was an education. They were all exposed to it. Any member of the class will proudly tell you of the high academic ratings achieved, however. Then there were the countless activities participated in. Football and basketball heroes were worshipped. As freshmen they saw their basketball team go to the state tournament. Loyalty was the big moment of the year. Table decorations always seemed to be their specialty. They began near the top, winning second in their first year, and then setting a record as juniors by tieing for first place with the seniors. That was a proud night for all. If you should ask a member the reason for the smile breaking out as he listens to the tune Dancing in the Dark,” he will tell you how many pies he contributed to the cause and then give you a full description of the successful Junior Prom evolved. Such gay times are remembered from decorating the prom and all the other class parties—the Junior Barn dance with its floor show and the Stage Door Canteen with its performers. Proof of their musical ability was always shown at the annual music festivals. A huge one was held in Reedsburg in their last year. The band, orchestra, and choir were always well represented by the clase de '46. As seniors their versatility was shown by a little competition for Hollywood in the form of the play Take My Advice.” High recognition in forensics and all the other activities making up school life was awarded them in many respects. The class met the end of World War II with a humble feeling of gratitude in their senior year. History is the son of time. It is constantly moving, constantly being made. There are so many individual emotions and small incidents that must be read between the lines of historical literature. There are so many little things that go to make the big thing great. And so it is with this Hisloria de la Clase de '46. Each has his own treasured memories.
