Class History Our Freshmen Class consisted of thirty-two students. As soon as we were somewhat acquainted the class was organized and the following were elected as officers: Donna Casebeer, President, Gloria Jenkins, Vice-President, Marjorie Phelps, Secretary, and Nelson Shedd, Treasurer. Marjorie Sizeland and Betty McAtee were elected as representatives for the Student Council. The first social event scheduled for us was the annual Freshmen initiation, being dealt out by the Sophomores. At the close of the evening there was no doubt in our minds as to the fact that we were initiated. In later months we enjoyed a skating party at Hemlock Beach, with transportation furnished by Charlie Wagner’s moving van. The first par y of our Sophomore year was our initiation for the Freshmen. This began with traipsing them through the cellar, after which they were served refreshments. Later, we planned a theater party to see “This is The Army”. Extra curricular activities included a debate team in which Angela Green, Betty McAtee, Donna Case-beer, and Phyllis Cook took part. Then began our Junior year, with everyone looking forward to the presentation of the Junior Play. We gave the play, “The Mystery of the Masked Girl ”, on the 21st and 22nd of March. We also looked forward to the Junior - Senior Prom which took place in May at the Marshall Country Club. Our Senior year promised to be one of huge success. Early in November we presented the play “Sound Your Horn”, a comedy. Officers elected for our final year were: Gloria Jenkins Ivey, President, Nelson Shedd, Vice-President, Margaret Panting, Secretary, and Marjorie Sizeland, Treasurer.

Senior Trip The Tekonsha High School Seniors ventured forth on May 19, 1946 in the school bus to Detroit where they boarded the boat “South American” for a short cruise. We went down through Detroit Harbor, passing the islands and out into Lake Erie, down to Cleveland, not stopping at Cleveland, we traveled up to Buffalo, New York. We docked at Buffalo and a touring bus was waiting there to take us out on a tour of the city. We saw Niagara Falls and also rode on the ferry “Mate of the Mist”. We left Buffalo and went on up to the Canadian border where we docked for a couple of hours. A few adventurers got off to look around. ALer leaving Canada we headed back for Detroit, arriving there on Tuesday noon, May 21. It was a swell trip and we, with a few hundred other seniors, enjoyed it immensely, although we were tired, we were glad to be back in Detroit, headed for home.
