Class History ‘46 When Stonewall started as a consolidated school in this district in 1941, we were seventh graders. Ever since, we, the present day Seniors, have been a grow¬ ing and a busy class. In our Freshman year, we had Miss Betty Jo Wright for our class sponsor. That year, we sponsored: “The Schools at War Program;” The Sale of War Bonds and Stamps; and joined the entire School in the Scrap Campaign and First Aid Program. Our Sophomore year brought us a new sponsor, Miss Helen Slifer, and new interest in the way of laying aside money for our biggest years ahead as Juniors and Seniors. We sold home-made candy and hot dogs to the students once a week. The Junior year brought us within sight of our goal through our High School years—“Graduation.” This year, also, brought the problem of making a great deal of money which we ac complished by selling candy, hot dogs, potato chips, popcorn, etc. Early in the year, we chose a class ring which was presented at the Junior and Senior Banquet held at Tokes Inn. The Banquet at Stonewall is the main event in a Junior’s life, and for the first time in the history of the school, we en¬ tertained the Seniors with a prom after the banquet. We thought that this affair given by the class of “46” was the best ever given. At long last, we reached our goal. We were Seniors,and with hard study and a little luck, we would in a short 36 weeks be alumni. Early in the year, we started the publication of the Annual which we all worked and sweated over to make a big success. Next, came the Senior play—one of the high points in our lives. The last, and by far, the greatest event of our Senior year—“Graduation.” Through the years of our school life, we have had many additions to our ciass and many who have dropped out, but from this day forward, there can be no ad¬ ditions, and no subtractions from this, the class of 1946. Until death do us part. Robert W. Driver Class Historian 25
