MASS HISTIIRY FRESHMAN YEAR September, I94-2 beheld a momentous event. The class ot I946 entered Sharon Hill High School. Our tirst act as a class was the election ot otticers under the direction ot our sponsors, Miss Dorothy Meyer and Mr. William Hilde- brandt. The otticers elected were: President. Robert Brown: Vice President John McKone: Secretary, Jane Kreider, and Treasurer, Jean Michener. We held a Christmas party which tound us exchanging gitts ot rattles, cigars, and phials ot poison. One ot the tirst events ot the New Year was Talent Day. Bishop and Company presented a skit entitled, The Adventures ot Prune Face, starring Tracy Dick, which was awarded tirst prize. SOPHOMORE YEAR ln place ot the usual Soph Hop a recording dance was held which was well attended and enjoyed. The next item ot the year was a maga- zine subscription drive sponsored by the class. The drive was a great success, clearing over S200 tor our treasury. This tinancial reserve was an important asset tor our later activities. We purchased our I946 gold pins in the lat- ter part ot our school year. Our sponsors tor the year were Mrs. June E. Reed and Mr. William Hildebrandt. Class otticers were: President Roy Bishop: Vice-President, Robert Brown: Secretary, Jean' Michener: Treasurer, Wilbur Turnbull. JUNIOR YEAR The tirst event ot our prosperous Junior Year was the purchasing ot our i946 class rings. Our tirst opportunity tor class theatrics came in the late winter at l945 when our successful Ju- nior Play, Brother Goose, was held under the direction ot Mr. Frederick P. Fernsler. With the aid ot our sponsors, Mrs. Reed and Mr. William Shatter, we held our Junior Prom in April. Fine co-operation and support from the class made this attair a success, An event which served as a prelude to our tinal year in Sharon Hill was held in May. lt was the Baby Day celebration. The class was thoroughly bedecked tor the occasion with everyone participating. The tollowing day we dressed up tor Class Day, wearing our new ma- roon and gold caps along with our class pins and rings. SENIOR YEAR With wartime restrictions almost wholly litted. we pursued our Senior Year with the hope that all tormer activities could be resumed. Our Sen- ior play, Murder in the Nunnery. was held in November. The production was a marked suc- cess and also presented something quite ditter- ent in the line ot dramatics, compared to the usual high school productions. Our Senior girls capitalized on the large at- tendances at the tootball games by selling candy and hot dogs throughout the season. The next important Senior activity was the Christmas card sales drive, organized in the middle ot October by our sponsor, Mrs. Reed, and business manager, John Lockhart. The card sales were sutticient to build up a large tinancial reserve tor our remaining class activities. The Washington trip, suspended in l942, was restored as a Senior activity and three glorious days, May I6, I7, and l8, were spent in our Nation's Capital. This most-ot-all enjoyed school year was rounded out with a rapid succession ot activities. The Vesper Service on June 2 with Rev. Bickley B. Wilgus delivering the sermon. The Senior Banquet held at McCallister's on June 3. And. last but not least, the receiving ot our coveted diplomas on June 4 at Commencement. Dr. Francis Harvey Green gave us an inspirational address. And so we, the class ot I946, closed the pages ot our high school education. Our history as a class has ended. 1 'Hi '
