Yearbook Staff Anticipation of the satisfaction that comes when work is well done, spurred the Stoff on to give generously of after-school time ond effort, so that the Class of 1946 might hove an unsurpassed Memory Book. Only those who do the actual planning know the discourag- ing obstacles which orise to threoten ond often defeat the realization of enchanting ideas, one after another. Shortages in materials continue. There is consolation in remembering that we ore fortunate to be able to produce our book as usual and on time. Co-Editors, Edward Vibert and Ruth Choffin were supported admirably by a loyal group. Robert Kendall, assisted by Daniel Macero, managed the ads and circulation efficiently. Alan Grubow ond Richard Wall worked faithfully on Data. Winifred Dickermon and Elaine Sloane deserve special commendation for their efforts on organization write-ups. Norma Molagodi wos our reliable typist. Each member of the Staff merits individual praise for the fine, unselfish spirit which motivated the entire project. Special thanks to Miss Olive MoePherson, our advisor. Without her guidonce and supervision our book would not have been possible.

Editorial Graduotion from high school is a time of jubilation, o time of solemnity, and o time of responsibility. All graduates experience the first emotion; some, the second; oil should realize the importance of the third. It is impossible to put into words the gladness in our hearts when we attend the Senior Prom; the exultation which surges through us when we proudly step forth, wearing our cop and flowing black gown, to receive the coveted diploma. There is keen joy in the attainment of our goal—after twelve years. But graduation also means parting,—going our separate ways. We soon discover that nostalgia creeps in and finishing high school loses some of its expected sovor. We are not so eager to bid farewell to S. H. S., the ball games, dances, ond drugstore get-togethers. Most of our associations will be ended when we say that final goodbye and feel those prolonged handclasps. Then, too, graduation is a serious step in growing up. The responsibilities of life are now suddenly our responsibilities. The graduating classes before us have struggled hard to win the actuai fighting of the Second World War. To us, the first graduating class since that war's ending, is left the task of suppressing the aftermaths of war, distrust, bigotry, famine, and misery. For us all to devote ourselves to this obligation is the only hope for peace in our time. Wherever we moy go, may each page of this book recall to our memory some pleasant school-time experience or familiar face we once knew.
