CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1946 started its public school career in 1935. The total enrollment then was seventy-one pupils of which twenty-one members remain. They are the following: Frank Armbruster, Betty Bauer, Pat Cool, Velma Deacon, Doris Denny, Adaline Douglas, Dale Downing, Stanley Hines, Mary Jo Jcnes, Mary Jo. Martin, Louise Moore, Jean Treber Pyle, Blanche Rapp, Bonnie Rhoads, Clara Schwartz, Bob Scott, Vincent Scott, Ivan Stulley, Mary Wittkugle, Norma Weber and Arnold Walker. These were divided alphabetically between Mrs. Avanelle Keechle McConkey and Mrs. Ruth Penn Way. It was in this grade that we learned our ABC’s. We advanced to the second grade and were under the supervision of Mrs. Kathryn Kuhn Ar-rowood and Mrs. Florine Hughes Acord. Our third grade instructors were Mrs. Kathryn Ann Breinig Haynes and Mrs. Helen Armbruster Clark. The children from the Alma School came to our school this year and we were very glad to have them. In the fourth grade we left the new building and started our fourth year in the old building. Our pathway was guided by Mrs. Dorothy Andre Matthews and Miss Anna Laura Haynes. We enjoyed presenting our play, “The Leak in the Dyke.” Our fifth year was under the guidance of Miss Ernestine Eylar and Mrs. Helen Brown McCain. During this year we learned the states and their capitals. The sixth year was the first time we had two teachers, Mr. Oscar Raidiger and Mr. M. O. Scott. During the first six years of our school life Mr. Charles Shrader taught music and Mr. Richard Teichert and Miss Gates taught the fundamentals of art. Our junior high years were very exciting. We enjoyed the assemblies, pep meetings, changing of classes, and our lockers. Our teachers were Mr. George Swing, Miss Lenore Vallery, Mr. James Dunham, Mrs. Kathryn Shy Bess, Mr. Chester Way, Mr. Sidney B. Cutlip, Mr. Charles King and Mr. Hobert C. Helman. In our freshman year we contributed to the war effort by selling bonds at the Victory Booth. During our sophomore year we helped with the war effort again by participating in paper drives. We won a $25 war bond. Our junior year was a most eventful one. Our class enjoyed working on our class play, “Clarence” and working out the program for the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet, which was given at Lake White. Our first edition of the Hi-Lites came out this year. Now we have reached the final and eventful year of our school career. Our class has participated in assembly programs, the Hi-Lites, athletics, Senior Scholastic Test, and in the production of our class play, “Spring Green.” The Class officers are: Willard Wilburn.............President Dale Downing............Vice President Jennie White................Secretary Earl Strickland.............Treasurer Class Colors: Maroon and White Class Flower: The Rose Class Motto: “Forward ever—backward never.” As the Class of 1946 moves along to treasures in the future, we bid good-bye to the friends and halls of Waverly High School. BAND The Waverly High School Band, under the direction of Miss Johanna Samson has been very successful through the school term of 1945 and 1946. It has a total membership of forty-four students, eight of whom are seniors. Every one of the members has enjoyed playing for the several occasions in which they always participate. This year the band has played for the following events: Hallowe’en parade, pep meetings, chapel programs, basketball games, class plays, Baccalaureate, Commencement and the Memorial Day parade. The outlook for an excellent band next year is good. Nine members of this year’s junior instrumental class will take their places with the senior group.

Miss Vallery TEAM WORK Team work is essential for all great and important undertakings. After Pearl Harbor the people of the United States forgot their personal and private ambitions and united in the purpose of defeating a common enemy. The result was the greatest output of mass production the world has ever seen. The enemy has been defeated on the battle-field. Will the same spirit of unity and team work win the peace? Only time and the prayers and determination of a united people can tell. Team work is not only a necessary part of a nation at war but it is also the foundation stone of every activity from childhood play to adult success. In school life it is the person who can cooperate who achieves the maximum success. Every activity demands unity above everything. The boy who is unwilling to forget himself in the interest of the team should not attempt to participate in athletics. A boy who really has the interest of his team and his school at heart will never indulge or participate in anything detrimental to the best interests of the team. This is the greatest lesson one can learn in school. It is the lesson that will insure success in life. This idea has been ably expressed by Edgar A. Guest, when he said: They may sound your praise and call you great, They may single you out for fame, But you must work with your running mate Or you’ll never win the game. For never the work of life is done By the man with a selfish dream, For the battle is lost or the battle is won By the spirit of the team. NOTE OF THANKS I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to my fellow staff members of the Waverly Hi-Lites for their great help and hearty cooperation. I wish to thank Miss Vallery and all others who in any way gave their time and talents to make our paper a successful contribution to our school activities. THE EDITOR.
