Stars on Parade June Seniors Lyle Joy, pau president Eugene Pisenti, Spring President Now that the war is over, this June class of 1946 has something a little different to look forward to than the classes of the past four years. Instead of looking forward to winning a war, these students must plan to do their part in insuring the peace. Many of these boys will still be inducted into the ser- vice, in fact, a good number have gone in during the past year. The class has done its part this year by contributing to the Cancer Drive, the Red Cross, and such other worthy causes. President of the class was Gene Pisenti who did an excellent job taking charge of Senior meet- ings and directing class activities. A fine job was also done by Secretary Betty Morris keeping notes at meetings. Stan Jensen was Vice-Prexy and Dot Parker Treasurer. Outstanding in the field of leadership were Jane Sawyer, Fall student body president, and Bill Geary, Spring student body president. Jane was the first girl president in S.R.H.S. in 14 years. Other members of the governing board were Evelyn Pet- ersen, Yell Leader, Bob Browning, Commissioner of Assemblies, and Doug Bundock, Editor of the Santa Rosan. Those who served on the Fall governing board were Gerry Maifei, Vice-President, Joyce Nelson, Secretary, and Evelyn Petersen, Editor of the Santa Rosan. In the sports spotlight from this graduating class we have Stan Jensen who won the Blanket Award for basketball, and Gene Pisenti and Nate Cacianti, All-Star Sweater wearers. Outstanding in varsity sports were: John Clark, basketball, Nate Cacianti, Gene Pisenti, Bill Mitchell, Bill Soderquist, Jim Fleck, Walt Guanella, Bill Geary, and Jim Rackerby, football, Bob Murray, Ervie Cantwell, Don Brittingham, track, and Wes Colgan, baseball. In the feminine department Jean Story was president of G.A.A,, and Gloria Buffi won the G.A.A. Plaque. Ed Walther took first place in the State Forensic Contest for Humorous Reading. Graduation took place on June 13. The class wore the traditional caps and gowns. Senior speakers were Gene Pisenti, class president, and Elisabeth Ray and Robert Studnick, valedictorians.
