THE SENIOR CLASS OF 19-4-6 Class Colors—Scarlet and White Class Motto— Look for the Silver Lining Class Flower—White Rose OFFICERS President-------Ray Hamilton Vice President--Betty Brewer Secretary---------Gordon Serb Treasurer------Harold Hillmer The Graduating Class of 194-6 entered Westfield High School in September 1942 with a total enrollment of thirty-eight,—a large number considering that these were war years, and jobs were plentiful. As Sophomores, the class already supplied three regular members to the B team and Pomplin and Fredrick were substituting on the A team. A few members tried their luck at Forensics'' and didn’t do so badly for a first try. A Spring Festival took Band and Glee Club members to Portage where many won prizes for outstanding work. A shortage of cars prevented the class from going to a lake for the picnic at the end of this second year, but everyone had a good time on the School's back lawn. At the beginning of the school year 1944-1945 a warring world found twenty-eight members back, in spite of high wages outside. How- ever, the Armed Forces took Arden Hoffman and Bruce DeWitt from- the ranks of the Junior Class. Everyone in the class bought war bonds and stamps, and very often we led in high sales. The junior paper, renamed the Assembly-Line , was put out every month under the direction of Mr. Swenson, advisor, and Jneanne Winkler, editor. The class rings arrived in February and for weeks afterwards the class went about comparing them and exchanging them. Footloose, a comedy, was presented very successfully in March. Wayne Harvey, class president, chose Elda Buchholz as his queen to help reign over the Junior Prom in Davy Jones’s Locker. Peace finally came in August, 1945. Peace—and we were seniors. Perhaps this class would not have to lose any more members to the Armed Forces. In November John Borsack left for the Navy. The Seniors hung a third service flag in their hearts, and sent him off with a short farewell party. The Freshmen were initiated, formally and informally, and the class watched them go through the same painful process of adjusting themselves to the school and its ways. The class play was again a comedy, IT'S A GREAT LIFE. Caps and gowns were ordered, announcement cards chosen; There was no doubt about it, school for the Seniors was nearly over. No one knows how the year will end, but the Graduating Class of 1946 shall never forget their four pleasant years at Westfield High School. 12
