Senior History September 4, 192.' the present Class of ’27 started out on the long road to our goal. Graduation At our first class meeting we chose the following officers: Robert McConnell, president; Loren Taylor, Vice-president; Mildred Snider, secretary; Frances Teague, treasurer; and Billie Cantrell, Scarab editor. Miss Marjorie Burkhart was chosen our sponsor and we realized every year how perfect was our choice. We were aspiring children and had the first social event of the school year, a Fresh' man Mixer Later came a Tacky party. Our Sophomore year we elected: Mildred Snider, president; Loren Taylor, vice-president; Mary Spam, secretary-treasurer; and Robert McConnell, Scarab Editor. We had an exceedingly successful picnic that fall and the Juniors gave us a Hallowe'en party, equally successful. As Juniors we were represented very much in every phase of school life. Athletics and intellectual affairs held Junior interests. Hector,” a one-act play was given by the Juniors and Seniors during the Parent week in the early part of the school year. Our officers were: Robert McConnell, president; Carmi Ross, vice- president; Loletia Dorris, secretary-treasurer and George Burkhart, Scarab Editor. Our most outstanding year was our Junior year. We retained Miss Burkhart as advisor and Mr. Marion Moore was chosen as assistant advisor. On March 19, we gave a Junior Vaudeville which was thoroughly delightful and quite unique. In October we entertained the Sophomores. The last semester brought in a flood of major events. “Dulcy a three act comedy was given May 14 and was proclaimed the very best play ever presented at the B. T. H. S. The Prom and the Banquet for the Juniors and Seniors were the most important social functions of the year. The Senior officers are: George Burkhart, president; Fern Wood, vice-presi- dent; and Louise Ludwig, secretary'treasurer. During the first part of the year we had a class-play Seventeen that charmed a large audience. Bob McConnell had the leading roll in the Rings in the Sawdust. Bennie Lowery was the basketball Captain and Carmi Ross, football captain. Beulah McCollum was Editor-in-Chief of the Echo. Now that we Seniors arc nearing the end of our high school days we realize that we are just beginning to live. We wish to thank our advisors for their faithfulness and patience in helping us through the four years. 22 ton
