Our senior and last year for many of us is really the year we'll remember. Johnny Salazar and Georgia Duncan left us and we added three more new members, Ron Luttig from Lewisville, Nebraska, and Catherine Cundiff from Pagosa Springs, and Jerolene Percell from Durango. The number is now standing at twenty-nine, the largest graduating class B. H. S. has had, and we are eagerly looking forward to receiving diplomas. Twelve who started together will finish together. They are Everett Burch, Paul Davenport, Dan Gosney, Donald Grush, Keith James, fred Kesselring, Martin Mor- rison, Adrian Murray, Larry Mullen, Jerolene Percell, Nina Powell, and Lonne Sower. Looking into the future, we have our dance to sponsor, our play to choose, our trip to plan, (ready Mr. Ferrick?), and most outstanding of all, our graduation to attend. We hope that those who follow us through the halls of B. H.S. will find their Moments To Remember as pleasant as those of the class of '59. .

Entering our sixth grade, the first year of junior high, we were old veterans of this thing they call learning. Mrs. Parks was to give us our instructions that year. History was really flung at us, but we made it through in spite of it. We lost two members and gained two that year. Katherine Stahl left us, and Bobby Lindly from Durango joined us and left again after a few weeks. Kathryne Hayes from Carlsbad, New Mexico, obtained membership. To be able to say we were seventh graders sounded pretty good to us. We learned quite a bit about the Hopi Indians, and even had our teacher, Mrs. Jenkins, show us how to carve Ka China dolls. We acquired a terrarium and different members of the class contributed to it. A few brought water snakes which got loose in the room and were never found. We had a salamander for whom we gathered snails regularly every morning. A few boys also learned that going on STRIKE only meant long division problems for punishment. Our class welcomed four new members - Vicki Gilmore, Tommy Evans, and Wilfred Martinez, only to lose all three soon. Gary Forsythe evidently felt he was tough enough to stay with us. The eighth and last year of grade school saw us looking up to Mrs. Crowell as teacher. Nina Powell returned, and the class became acquainted with Stella Mar- quez, from Denver, and Johnny Salazar. Our enrollment increased that year with the Moss school children coming to Bayfield. Jerry Bowers and Drue Dye came, along with Jack and Jerry Haga, whom everyone was always calling the wrong name. Our graduation at Mesa Verde was the highlight of the year. All but one attended, and everyone truly enjoyed himself. Enjoyment was laid aside now as the entering freshmen endured initiation. The moon was bright that night, but most of us saw more stars, whipped green sour cream, and vinegar than we did moonlight. We were served with great delicacies such as punch ( ?) and raw egg sandwiches. Our rolling stomachs were soothed by a high school hop in our honor. Class parties were enjoyed by all that year, thanks to some of the mothers of the members. We celebrated the last day of school by having a horseback ride. Entering with us on our new orail in high school life, were Marvin Arnold, Bonnie Luke, Phyllis Heffington and Alvina Box. Four, who finished the eighth grade with us, but did not enter the ninth, were Stella Marquez, Drue Dye, Jetta Cooper, and Wilfred Martinez. As sophomores, we had the pleasure of welcoming the freshmen into high school. Our initiation helped let off a little steam that had been accumulating during the past year. To help our financial situation, Mrs. Hopkins, our sponsor for the second year, helped us pick movies to have every other Friday. There were a few class parties during the year, and a horseback ride on the last day of school. We were to gain two new class members, Kenneth Vaughan from Rifle, and Georgia Duncan from Norwood. Everett Burch returned from Ignacio after being gone for a few years. Phyllis Heffing- ton left us to go to Texas. There was much to look forward to our junior year - choosing our rings, and our play - Custers' Last Stand. We sponsored the Christmas dance, a great success. The Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was given with Paradise of the Deep as the theme. Bob Wegher's band played. Richard Evans from San Gabriel, California, joined us and two old classmates returned, Alvina Box and Phyllis Heffington. Emma Edwards and Jerolene Percell, two long time classmates, left. Again, Mrs. Hopkins directed us through the perilous moments.

His nurse has been his old classmate, DORIS BLACKMORE, and his doctor is LONNE SOWER, who is a sprained thumb specialist.
