There conies a time in the life of each individual when he feels the urge of paus- ing for a nioincnt to consider his aceoni- plishinents in the past and to evaluate them. Such a time has come for us. through our historv ' I shall review four glorious years of hard work, their reward, and all the fun that went with them. History, according to some of its stud- ents, it a systematic and exact account of events. Such an account would not be possible for our illustrious class, active in so many diversified events and versatile in countless worth-while endeavors. We had a heginning as all things do. It was in Septemher, 1942, that this extra- ordinary group of fellows and girls was organized as the Class of 1946. Our en- trance to .S.T.C., placed in its halls a dazed and bewildered variety of students from diverse sections of the state. This stage of development did not last long, hut how ' could it with so many things to accomplish? There was the getting ac- quainted with fellow-classmates, faculty, and the unending mass of upperclassmen, plus the election of our first class officers, Maureen, Florence, Kay, Hester, and Den- ise. Then the seemingly never-to-be-sur- rnounted freshman subjects. World His- tory, Biology, and World Affairs were al- ways present. After our orientation, we stepped forth and presented our first assembly, a novel version of Pocahontas, wdth Mary Connors’ red hair coming in handy as the sun. Mid- years were soon upon us; we survived, and went out to a vacation with lighter hearts. Our first dance was a repeat on our or- iginality and zeal for we initiated a Saddle Shoe Dance, an extravaganza on the dance floor with its Below-Normal School, coke bar, suitcases, and an enormous pair of cardboard saddle shoes skillfully created by “Scottie.” It was in this year that we developed our athletic habits through the daily mara- thon from one class to another, as well as by an occasional dash to the library. This training persisted, and we have had stars for four years both in the field and on the courts. In due time, spring was in the air, soft- hall was in play, and the first year of col- lege life was drawing to a close. Before it was over, however, we had to struggle through final exams, before we got our first view ' of commencement. It was then that we wondered if we would ever see our day of graduation or if we, too, would take up other endeavors as did Ann Brady, June Gray, Eleanor Johnson, Janice Hale, Jackie McGeary, Melva Norton, Barbara Smyth, Betty Speckman, Denise Tasse, A1 ice Trainor, A1 Atkocius, and George Laird. At last we were Sophomores. Those summer months were just enough to change us from lowly freshmen to part of the upper cru.st, the up{)erclassmen. Up- perclassmen we were, hut at times we felt a hit low-down while struggling through Physical Science and (Government courses. Do you remember hut how could you forget — the events of this year! ! ! “Fun on a Bus,” this year’s assembly, topped the list with Mary Reeves, Barbara, Boh, and Emmett as our “darkies.” On the same
