0' Senior Class Cflicers v 1945 1946 As THB Seniors swung into the last year of their high school career, four students had to be selected from the upper third of the class, to assume the leadership of the class. Having known each other for three years, the Seniors had no difficulty in selecting their most capable leaders. The class chose the students pictured above: Left to right: Bernard Golling, VicefPresidentg Catherine Anthony, President, Rita Bechtold, Treasurer, and Bernice Haid, Secretary. Throughout the year they have planned and supervised numerous activities. The Initiation Welcome Social, demonstrated their ability and initiative. A floor show, which consisted of initiating the Freshmen into our Alma Mater, was the highlight of the event. Then, for the betterment of the class, a platform was drawn up and adopted as the Constitution of the Senior Class. With the cooperation of various committees, the Valentine Social, their next undertaking, far surpassed the wildest expectations of the student body. A valentine box and novelty dances proved to be delight' fully entertaining. F' ally, under the capable direction of Mrs. Armella Fritz Carrick, the Seniors assumed the responsibility of sta 1 a class play. . CATHERINE M. ANTHONY riff LsKittys'o As A Freshman, Kitty was already Prefect of Catholic Action. She must have done her job well because this launched her on a career of oiiicefholding for the rest of her stay at S.M.H.S. As junior and Senior class president, Kitty displayed rare qualities of leadership. In spite of pressing duties, she found time to represent her class in the Student Council for three successive years. The office of Editorfinfchief of the Shield and the Michaelinian showed her capacity for work and her quite remarkable ability to win cooperation. As a Junior, Kitty was a member of the Science Honor Society and maintained throughout her career at St. Michaels a straight A report card. She particularly excels in all branches of mathematics and plans to attend college on the completion of her work here. Kitty is one of the useful people who will be missed not only for her contributions to the school but also for the cheerfulness that won her a place in the hearts of all.
