CLASS CFFICERS RAYMOND TAPLEY BETTY INGRAM ETHEL MAE FREEMAN RUBY NELL KlNG President V.ice-President Secretary Treasurer CLASS HISTORY As we, the class of '46, come to the close of our senior year, we are saddened by the thoughts of leaving dear old T. H. S. We realize that in the future we shall be separated from our classmates not only by miles of land, but even by waters of the seas. We remember that sunny September day in '42 when we entered T. H. S. as freshmen. The con- fusion of changing classes, the problem of filling out schedule cards, and the responsibility of choosing elective subiects for the first time fascinated us, and we began to like this new and strange world which we were now a part of. The outstanding event of the year was the hike to the Water Works. By the time that we were sophomores, the new had worn off and we found ourselves looking upon the seniors with awe and wondering if we would be such monstrous creatures as they when we became seniors. Although we worked extra hard on the sc rap drive that year, we had to bow tho those mon- strous creatures and take second place. We'll always remember what fun we had our iunior year skipping classes to work on the Junior-Senior banquet. The decorations, program, and food were tops, and the success of the banquet fully repaid us for our tireless efforts. Then after months of patient waiting the thrill of the year came when our class rings arrived. Before we knew it we were the seniors of Talladega High School. But were we monstrous? Not at all, just rather humble. Secretly we envied our lower classmates and wished that we could exchange places with them and live again those carefree days. Knowing this was impossible, we began to take advantage of the many opportunities that this year of years offered us. First came the football season. The contribution of our class, seven conscientious players, helped make it an unbeaten season for us. Then there was always something going on, such as selling mgazine subscriptions and ads, or selecting cards and invitations, We especially enioyed filling in our memory books and exchanging cards with our classmates. Then came the main feature of the Christmas season, the party in the gym. After the blow of midterm tests was over, there came the senior trip, the Junior-Senior banquet, and the senior banquet. Of course sprinkled in with all these good times were not such pleasant things as, Ivanhoe, Macbeth, Johnson, chemistry tests, and algebra tests, but we didn't let them get us down. This brings us to the climax of these four years-graduation. We realize that we are the first senior class in tour years to leave T. H. S. to go into a peaceful world. As we go our different ways we'll strive to keep the world a peaceful place in which to live. We'll be gone, but mem-o-ries of T. H. S. are ours forever. Class Historian Jane Ellen Gaines
