lass Histor | IT possible that four years have passed since | that memorable September morning when the Class of 1946 enrolled as Freshmen at Thomas Dale? During the months before we entered, we were highly excited at the prospect of being in high school; but when the great day finally came, we found ourselves more frightened than excited. However, under the patient guidance of our sponsors, Miss Norris, Miss Daught- rey, Mrs. Bailey, and Miss Howell, we soon adjusted ourselves to the new program and began to feel very much at home. One of the highlights of our first year in high school was Freshman Class Day. It was patterned after “Sadie Hawkins Day” of comic strip fame, and many Daisy Maes and ’Lil Abners were in evidence. To prepare for the dance in the gym at activities period, the entire class went down on the athletic field and the girls chased the boys to determine who should be partners for the affair. “he entire class had a rollicking good time. The following September when we returned to school, we found, to our regret, that many of our former classmates had been left behind. In spite of our decreased numbers, we determined to make the year 1943-44 both enjoyable and successful. Since we were in the midst of a global war we found all our activities curtailed greatly. For the first time we were without a boy’s athletic director and we missed very much the participation in a full sports program. Miss Hud- son coached the boys’ basketball team and we supported this enthusiastically. Our sponsors this year were Miss Pickhardt, Miss Hudson, and Miss Martinsen. Finally, or so it seemed to us at that time, we were Juniors—upper classmen —oh, what a wonderful feeling! Now we felt we were “in things” in reality— helping the seniors run the school (?). Our sponsors for this year were Miss Park and Mrs. Grizzle. Early in the first semester of this year, in placing orders for class rings, we felt that we had become “officially” the class of 1946. On April 6, 1945, our gymnasium was the scene of the annual Junior-Senior Reception, an affair to which we had looked forward since before entering high school. ‘Chough entertaining under war conditions, the evening was a most en- joyable one and will live long in our memories. Highlighting the hours from nine to twelve was the dance figure in which many Juniors and Seniors partici- pated. i hex eflector.
