Basic Training Completed RICH ARD SM flfrg GEORGE Mick Beaver graduates in 1943, although outwardly the same as any other class, find them- selves confronted with a problem of a future quite unlike their predecessors. Many students have stopped school to work in war plants, some have been drafted, while others have received deferrnents until the close of school. The war has become a reality to many of the boys-and to all eighteen is a deciding year! Looking back on the group, one would see them in the fall of 1939, one hundred and fifty- two eager, Wide-eyed freshmen entering B. H. S. for the first time. Being a little shy the first year, they participated in very few activities. As sophomores, they began to show their enthusiasm by giving a skating party for the school and a rousing reception for the freshmen. Monte Meyers made a name for himself by winning the state championship in junior boy's singles in tennis. Showing great promise in debate as a sophomore, Richard Smurthwaite proved his ability a little later when he won many trophies for the school. Entering the U. S. O. book drive in their junior year, this group took the service flag for the first time, but not the last. Their big event of the year was the junior prom, a highly suc- cessful affair, enjoyed by the dance lovers of the student body. During their senior year this class took the service flag twice, first for bringing the most contributions for the Christmas boxes for service men and second for winning the athletic drive. Guiding the group through its last year were Miss Bernice Conoly, Mr. Eugene Duncan and Miss Edith Voget. On May 27, approximately one-half of the original class starting in 1939 received diplomas. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: JNT ROW: Marilu Lohus, Ronald Christenson, George Mick, Richard Smurthwaite, Monte Meyers, and Virginia Cote.
