Senores ij Senoritas Senior Class THE CLASS OF 1946 This is the class that started in the year of ’42, Though we had a little trouble, We managed to struggle through. From early in the morn ’till late in the afternoon We sat in stuffy class rooms ’till the day of our doom. We pondered and studied with great reliance English, Math., and a little Science. Such a studious class you never did see, We’ve spent hours of time on American History. Diabolical and fiendish, Will the job be in our looks, When we burn the last one copy of our many High School books? Now that our school days are really over, And our task is almost through May we be long remembered For the things we strived to do.

Historia De Clase Antiquo SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Here it is 1946! It seems as though we have just entered dear old T.C.H.S. as green freshies, but we have completed our course and are now supposedly edu- cated scholars. As we entered in ’43, we weren’t master minds and aren’t now, but we had a “swell” time trying to reach that goal. As a matter of custom we quickly called a class meeting and organized ourselves. We elected class officers which were as follows: President, Bob Myers; vice president, Katherine Hunt; treasurer, Clinton Koch; and secretary, Myra McMakin. Coach Schoenfeld was elected as our class advisor. It took us the entire year to become accustomed to the ways of high school life, but the sophomores kindly invited us to a wiener roast, thus making us feel as though we weren’t out of place. We weathered our first year very suc- cessfully, contributing to the baseball, basketball, and track teams, as well as literary and musical activities. Returning to school as sophomores, we started a new adventure, and due to Bob Myers’ ability to conduct class meetings successfully, we gave him the honor of being president for a second term. Bob Huette was elected vice pres- ident; Loreen Stuber, treasurer; Myra McMakin, secretary; and Coach Schoen- feld was again chosen class advisor. With regret we lost nine of our for- mer classmates. They were Earl Rod- gers, Jim Risinger, Bob Hohulin, Ben Bolliger, Clarence Burk, James Smith, Irving Hundt, Velda Paine, and Edna Lou Morrison. On the other hand, we gained five new classmates, who were Jim Rapp, Wayne Yentes. Carl Dahmn, Mildred Ingersoll, and Marie Whitney. Parties and other festivities comprised the social life of our class during our sophomore year. We felt as though we were seasoned veterans as we again entered the doors of our Alma Mater to start our junior year. Mildred Ingersoll and Carl Dahmn did not return, and Dean Lougee was a new member of our class. Our class of- ficers were, Loreen Stuber, president; Marie Whitney, vice president; Jackie Parks, secretary; and Fritz Rapp, treas- urer. Miss Schneider was our class ad- visor. As “Jolly Juniors,” we were in drastic need of funds. To bolster our financial situation, we contracted and sold mag- azine subscriptions on a commission, by which we cleared $200. Later in the fall we presented “Brother Goose,” our first play, on which we cleared a suitable sum. Things went rather smoothly all win- ter, but in the spring we turned our ef- forts toward the preparation of the Jun- ior-Senior banquet. We appointed com- mittees which worked hard toward this event. The banquet was held in honor of the seniors in the Pere Marquette hotel. It was an event which will long be remembered by everyone who attended. Last, but not least, we received our long- awaited class rings, which we proudly exhibited. Returning to T.C.H.S after a summer of good times we again turned our heavy heads toward the printed pages with the hope of graduating in the spring. We chose Gale Bolliger to lead us through our final year. Assisting him were Harold Strunk as vice president; Ruth Madsen as secretary; and Freder- ick Rapp as treasurer.
