SMITH ACADEMY 15 Address of Welcome Parents, teachers, friends and school- mates — it gives me great pride and pleas- ure to extend to you a most hearty wel- come to our class day activities. Tomorrow is the long awaited day when we, the class of 1946, graduate. At this time we have come to the end of our studies and the beginning of our journey through life. Many of us will continue through higher schools, some of us will enter im- mediately on the business of earning a liv- ing. We all feel confident that the training we have received here will enable us to choose with some wisdom our destination. Now that peace one more prevails in the world, we are once again facing a period of changing times. Although we completed our high school course during three years of war we feel that with the training we have received here we will be better able to meet the emergencies that may arise. We realize that through the patience and en- couragement of our parents we have been able to complete the required high school course despite the temptations to leave school and become a part of the war ' s great industrial machine. We also wish to express our sincere gratitude to the faculty who helped us through many trying times during our past four years at Smith Acad- emy. The thoughts and memories of our good times here together will never be for- gotten, and the training we have received here we hope to use well. It is a pleasure to have you all gathered here with us this evening for our class day exercises. Once again, in behalf of my class, I bid you all a most hearty welcome. LAURENCE STODDARD. Class Statistics Babs, the blonde glamour gal of our class, To bookkeeping period she always came last. As one of our prize speakers she did her part, And for the future she has made a great start. For that flirtatious look and Pepsodent smile, Any Casanova would walk a mile. — Barbara Tobacco. We really don ' t know what to say about Shirley, But we all know she loves to be called little girlie. As an actress she appeared in the senior class play, And won much applause for her very studious way. Full of hustle and bustle, she goes from class to class, A girl full of pep and energy is this West Hatfield lass. — Shirlev Betsold. Velma Omasta, our class treasurer, is a cheer leader by trade; As Captain of the Girls ' Basketball team, a speedy forward she made. She can do shorthand extremely well, And we know that in this art Velma will always excel. At night you will see her waiting around For a black Chevie from North Street — to come down .
