Sunday we attended the church of our denomination--some to the Episcopal and Catholic, others to the Methodist or Presbyterian. After church, we witnessed the Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue and eventually wound up in the Hotel Bristol for dinner. We boarded a sight-seeing bus after dinner and, having the bus entirely to ourselves, we really enjoyed our tour which took us to all the principal parts of the city. At length we arrived at the docks and ferried across the harbor past the Statue of Liberty to Staten Island and then back again. Upon our return we journeyed with painful step and heavy heart to the Waldorf for dinner and then to a Studio Tour of Radio City, our last event in New York City. The trip home, particularly from Poughkeepsie, will long be remembered by all the members of our class!
Our thanks go to Mr. Burke for his intense interest and hard work which actually made our trip a reality instead of a dream. We also wish to express our appreciation for the superb chaperoning of Miss Davis and Mr. Rickett.
An Alumni Banquet, under the auspices of the Class of '46, is scheduled for June 22, 1946. This banquet is open to all graduates from South Kortright Central since 1940, the year of the first graduation and ocmpletion of the school.
With our motto, "2 X L", we now set forth into the world to seek fame and ofrtune and to uphold the honor our Alma Mater has bestowed upon us, the class of 1946!
--Hugh Rose.

Class Prophecy
The class of 1946 as seen in 1956 by the Great Professor Sees-All, Knows-All, and Tells-Everything.
Richard Babcock--Who could never keep his head out of the clouds, is at last satisfied. He now owns a large fleet of airplanes.
Willeita Beckett--Whose mind always ran in two channels, (Rich and nursing) is now a graduate nurse and is happily practicing her knowledge on Rich quality chickens. Incidentally they did get hitched.
Edwin Benedict--Who always was between the devil and the deep blue sea has finally decided to take to the deep blue sea. He is now commander of the U. S. Pacific fleet, but he still has trouble with his women.
Charles Bower--Who was always taking things apart and then putting them back together again (with a few pieces left over) has now found out where the extra pieces go and is a successful mechanic in Bloomville.
Edwin Brandes--Who was quite the Casanova, as far as the gals were concerned is now in Hollywood busy taking first place away from Van Johnson. More power to you, Ed.
Ellen Carpenter--Who has always had trouble with two things, namely a voice that cracks on high "c" and keeping her "flames" from going out, is now a famous radio singer with a long list of disappointed lovers behind her.
Doris Champlin--Who had her heart set on being a beautician, was a wee bit disappointed. Instead she is happily married and the only beauty work she practices is on her own family.
Loreen Gilmour--Who was always a career woman at heart, with her music and even disposition, is now principal of a large grade school and has acquired a great deal of poise. Incidentally, her work still comes first.
Doris Gulneck--From all reports she has now given up her chewing gum for fear of sticking it in people's hair. Yes, she finally got to Beautician's school after much debating between that and marriage. She is now very busy iwth her hair-does and her husband.
Frances Hait--Who has always been known for her outstanding athletic ability has dyed her hair red, so she could be the star forward on the All-American Redheads, the nationally known girls' basketball team.
Rose LiPuma--Who is noted for her dancing ability and new dance routine is now working for Arthur Murray--teaching him dancing in a hurry. Incidentally, kids, she losing weight fast, literally dancing off the pounds. Wou wouldn't, dancing days and nights, too?
Wallace Many--Who could be called the Einstein of South Kortright, has lost his mind and is now in a padded cell in Binghamton. From all reports, this illness is temporary--it comes and goes from straining the brain beyond normal endurance.
Betty Martin--Who always had a way with children, is now teaching Kindergarten in a mid-western town. According to all reports she gets along okay with the principal who is 35 and unmarried. Good luck, Betts.
Kenneth Martin--Who had a cmplex for hamburg on the hoof and Ford cars has finally invented a Ford with rubber fenders (they won't crumple). How are you coming with your invention for a hearing aid for the cows?
Wendell Martin--Who had his Monday nights all tied up with a certain gal has finally forgotten her after an unsuccessful engagement and is sticking strictly to agriculture. Farming, that is.
Romolo Melucci--Who was our star basketball player is now manager of a successful All-Star Team. His heart won't allow him to take part in the game, but it is standing up pretty well under the strain of his crush on his new blonde secretary.
Vivian Nesbitt--Who was always good in business subjects likes her new secretarial position to the above mentioned manager. In her spare time, which she has a lot of, she plays lullabies on her cornet to her horse.
Marjorie Reynolds--Who always had trouble with her bangs has finally let them grow. She has too much to do keeping house to bother to curl them every night.
