The class of ’46 started its career with James Stack as president, Doris Bowers, vice-president; Adclc Eichhorn, secretary; and June Poe, treasurer. The Halloween Dance was the main social event sponsored by our class that year. James Goforth took over the duties of president our sophomore year with Art Larson, vice-president; Eveline Clark; secretary; and Bill Shaffer, treasurer. The social events of that year included the Valentine’s Dance and the Saint Patrick’s Day Dance. In our Junior year with Charles Crawford at the head of the class, we sponsored one of the main social events of the year, the May Dance. For our other officers we elected Alice Lewis, vice-president; Barbara Banaski, secretary; and Walton Wysong, treasurer. The Junior Class appears to have been an intelligent group that year, seventeen of them passing the 3J j-ycar graduation test. To supplement what money we already had in our treasury we sponsored the sales of the Wirt Booster Pins. The honors for class officers this year went to Arthur Iddings, president; Leon Dahl, vice-president; Mary Nash, secretary; Scarl Calaway, treasurer. The first activity sponsored by the senior class was the winter dance, namely The Atomic Hop’’! This proved to be one of the most successful dances of the year. Later we sponsored the prom, which was held in the Marquette Park Pavilion This prom had the highest attendance in the history of William A. Wirt High School. The senior banquet was held at the Dunes Whitchousc on May 29. It was a swell dinner! Class Day on June 7th was next in the string of final events leading to graduation. Leon, acting president, was master of ceremonies. And that same night the juniors entertained with the Senior Farewell Dance. The beach party was planned for the next night. Baccalaureate on June 9 saw Reverend Hillstrom of Bethel Lutheran as minister. At vocational commencement next night twenty-two seniors received diplomas. All forty marched in the convocation exercises in Memorial Auditorium. Then came the final step in the closing of our school years and the beginning of our lives. Commencement ! ! ! ! The speakers were the valedictorian and salutatorian, Pauline Robinson, and Beverly Tobey, respectively. This was our final function as high school students, and Page Eight V-W °n ClT °fficersS M' Nash- notary; S. Calaway, treasurer; L. Dahl icc-I resident; A.

With this smattering of words we close the books of the Class of '46. But—wait—one moment more before the books go shut— The Class of 1946 would like to thank the following Miller Merchants who so graciously helped finance Sandscript”: (see page 9)
