SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We never found out where Donnie got the black eye. When we asked him, we just got that cute grin. We had a student council and everybody told what everyone else did. Consequently we were very well behaved. Nancy and Roberta entered that year. In the 8th grade, we had all the high-school teachers as our teachers. We were the last 8th grade class to be in the high-school. The windows surely made good exits when the teachers weren’t around. Huh, kids? It seem3 that the boys had quite a time getting through English that year. Couldn’t be because they were mis- chievous, could it? They came out all right, though. (As usual.) Boy, we had a good fight that year, didn’t we, Wylie and Charles? Nothing like a good old fist fight. Remember the ditch water in science class? Also remember the good story-telling times in Mr. O’Toole's arithmetic class? JBoy, we were big when the time for eighth grade graduation came! We went to Mesa Verde for the exercises. We bet we were the first class to graduate in jeans and sport clothes. Betty Noble entered that year. Mary Ellen, Jerry, and Dan entered our freshman year. We surely were thankful for our guardian angel (Mr. Evans) that year - - huh, kids? It isn’t everybody that gets excuses signed for going fishing. Edwin joined us our Sophomore year. We had one boy on the basketball team. We had a turkey raffle and Goldie won the turkey, but we weren’t unhappy about that, were we, kids? Donnie Holt was killed in an automobile acci- dent that year. We were very sorry to lose Donnie, as he was always a source of fun. In our Junior year, we had many good times while practicing for our play. We just got about 10 to 13 in Dutch’s car plus Mac. Also, we got out of a lot of classes to decorate for the Prom. Even if we do say so ourselves, the gym looked pretty nice after we got through. We had fun practicing the Grand March and getting out of classes, thanks to Mrs. Peterson. SENIOR YEAR Well, this is the last year of school in good old B.H.S. We’ve surely had a lot of fun hero. Here is a little sketch of what we have done thus far: We had the Christmas Dance and goose raffle, we gave our play in February; and we gave the Valentine Dance which was a success. Dutch got his knee hurt in one of the basketball games and was not able to play ball for part of the season, but was able to play in the tournament. We are looking forward to graduation and the activities that go with it.

In September 1941, 31 pupils started to school in the old grade school building. Our teacher was Miss MacDonald. Those who started were Goldie Wells, Earleen McCoy, Bonnie Landreth, Dutch Wells, Wylie Carmack, Donnie Holt, Henry Cundiff, Jean and Joan Bastian, Charlie Berry, Leonard Davenport, Juanita and VaNita Hall, Viola Domin- gues, Sherry Deeds, Betty Jean McCormick, Ann Tanner, Johnny Keating, Richard Manzanares, Jess Newland, Bill Sacchetta, Vann Percell, Bobby Wolf, Leandro Archuleta, Melvin Yingling, Robert Rankratz, Levi Lucero,, Pauline and Mary Tafoya, Carolina Archuleta, and Jackie Glen. Most of these have scattered to the four winds except the faithful six; Goldie Wells, Bonnie Landreth, Earleen McCoy, Dutch Wells, Wylie Carmack, and Henry Cundiff. In the 2nd grade our teacher was Mrs. Joy Brown. Nothing very important happened that year The 3rd grade was when we learned so much of our meanness, because we were put with Seniors of last year. Our teacher that year was Mrs. Sapp. Nina Squires entered that year. In the 4th grade our teacher was Mrs. Walker. W’ylie, the reader of funny books, Stayed in at recess with Captain Hook. Goldie, with her hair so black, Led the class on down the track. Bonnie, the watchman of them all, Pursued the fractions round the hall. Only awhile did Mary Joyce stay. In the fall, then moved away. Charlie Berry, with his grin, Bluffed us all to let him in. Donnie Holt was with us too, At fun and tricks he was not new. Nina Squires was in this class. At the end of the term we all did pass. With tears in our eyes into grade six, To promote Mrs. Ostwald would have been a mix. But Mrs. Smith took half of us, And so settled the fuss. In the 6th grade, Mrs. Smith had part of the class and Mrs. Ostwald took the other part. Our year in the sixth grade was Mrs. Smith’s first year in Bayfield. Most of our time was spent studying as Mrs. Smith didn’t spend all of her time trying to keep the teen-ager happy. In the fifth grade, Mrs. Ostwald was our teacher. Six of us entered grade 5: Raymond, our sober athlete, For perfect attendance did compete. Earleen, so ouiet, with voice so fine. Learned to write between the lines. In the 7th grade our teacher again was Mrs. Smith. The main event that year was the inter class tournament. The girls knew few rules; but we had fun. Ehitch was captain of the boys then. The 7th grade boys won the grade tournament and were awarded a large bag of peanuts. DUTCH ATE THE PEANUTS.
