A page taken from "The Addisonian" the high school yearbook for Lucy Addison High School. The page contains a note from the editor that the Class of 1946 is presenting the high school's first annual in twelve years. The editor also writes that now that the war is over, it is a new world and the class is looking forward to finding their place in it, having had a wonderful experience at Lucy Addison High School. On the reverse side is a picture of the high school. In front of school runs a path along which someone has written "Senior Lane!!!" in blue ink. The caption reads "Lucy Addison High School" and in front of the name of the school is written "THE" in capital letters. Below is the school's alma mater song.
