The 1946 Class History ON September 1st. 1942, fifty-eight Freshmen entered Sheridan High School. The greatest event of our Freshmen year was initiation; tricks were plentiful but we emerged unscathed. We participated in a Dress Revue and linstrel. directed by Mrs. George McGuffey. As Sophomores, we were just settling down to the routine of high school. 1 hat year we took part in the Stunt Show and had a hay ride for our annual class party. In our Junior year, we presented our class play, “Cross My Heart , which received much favorable comment. Miss Evelyn McGinlev was our director. Another big event of the year was the Junior-Senior prom and at that time we entertained the class of ’45 at the Riviera Club. Indianapolis. As Seniors, we started our busiest days of high school. First came the Freshmen initiation, and then the appointing of the Annual stall. Wre rushed to get our Senior pictures for Christmas and this was done to the satisfaction of all. During the month of January we made plans for a trip to Washington, D. C., taking the Miller Tour, on April 10th. On February 26th the Annual staff sponsored the “Club 46. We presented the play. “Don’t Take My Penny,” March 26th. under the direction of Miss Mary Duffey. We decided to wear navy blue gowns for Commencement and that red and white carnations would be our class flower. Our Baccalaureate was held on April the seventh with the Reverend Ransome as speaker, and Commencement was April the nineteenth with L. Gray Burdin of Butler University as speaker. W'e are sorry that it was not possible for Donald Wayne Kittinger, Bob Anderson. and Don Reddick to graduate with our class. They were called to the military service of our country. Under the leadership of our sponsors, Mr. Eudaly and Miss Kohlmeyer and the remainder of the faculty, we have spent a very pleasant year, and wish all future Seniors the same. 3
