We trust that you will allow the memories of our high school which we have been bringing you in our I Remember picture album to be your welcome guests. The written copy in our book gives each memory a brighter meaning as it is pictured. For many years we will turn back in our thoughts, to remember the many students enlivening our halls and strolling in the vicinity of our high-school building. We will recall our good fortune in having many school activities in which each of us participated. Our book is based primarily on MAMA,S BANK ACCOUNT, copyright, 1943, by Kathryn Forbesg the direct quotations are reprinted by permission of Har- court, Brace and Company, Incorporated, and the other captions were written in the manner and mood used by Kathryn Forbes in her tribute to 'KMama,', by special arrangement with the publisher. X X AS We look into this 1955 Bervalon, let us turn our thoughts, Wilma Adams and Nancy Walker plan layouts. Dick Adams and Phyllis Carver prepare to solicit subscriptions ' Editors, Message ITHIN This padded cover we have tried to capture the most treasured moments of our high school days. We have planned our Album of Memories with the hope that in future years, when looking over its pages, you will remember those moments with pleasure. In the book, Mama's Bank Account, Mama reminisces about delightful events in her life. We have likewise based our 1955 Bervalon on the high spots of our school life. During this past year the staff has had its share of problems, such as meeting deadlines, getting ads, and selecting a theme for the book, to name just a fewg but these things were taken in stride because the staff members knew that a worthwhile project requires thought and work. Our labors were well rewarded at the end of the school year, when we stood in the background and watched the appreciative smiles of our subscribers and listened to the comments of the underclassmen as they paged through our 1955 edition of the Bervalon.

We will long re- member his friendly smile brightening our days in school, and his patience with us in our loud good spirits. Mr. Pritz finds frequent relaxation in reading, and he especially enjoys making, painting, and repairing toys for his two small daughters, Linda and Carol. He also enjoys listening to the radio and spending his leisure hours with his family in their comfortable home on Division Street. Mr. Pritz is a very active and interested member of our local Parent-Teacher Association. He is also a member of the National Education Association, and of the Penn- sylvania State Education Association, in which he takes an active part and a pro- fessional interest, having been an officer and committeeman of Sub-Unit ll. We will long admire his dry wit and keen sense of humor, and the many laughs he has brought to us in the classroom. As one of our sincere teachers and faculty advisers, he gave us his attention and guidance which helped us climb the educa- tional stairway to our senior year.

One major problem facing any Board is that of finances. The Board's job is to operate our school as wisely and eco- nomically as possible. Among the School Board's duties is the important task of getting the best teachers available for our educational system. The Board also is required to have money to meet every- one's needs and still balance the budget. These men select textbooks and all other items necessary for the efficient operation of our schools. Most people do not realize the many intricate problems facing a Board of Education. When we consider that men from our joint districts serve without re- muneration of any kind, they deserve our sincere appreciation. The Bervalon pays tribute to the late Mr. K. Stutzman, a sincere and loyal director and friend, who was a member of the Board for ten years. In that time he represented the Somerset County School Directors' Association at a state convention. He was chairman of the supply committee for a number of years. Mr. Stutzmanls place on the Board has been taken by Mr. Norman S. Handwerk. 10 Az dere: Karl Hay, Presi- dent.

Many will be the times when you will begin to reminisce in this manner. Each day you will find reason to check with your store of memories so that you may review some experience of the past, whether it be for some personal satisfaction or a comparison with experiences or conditions as you find them at the moment. Each experience of the future will immediately be- come history and will be available for that moment when you pause to remember. Whether it be pleas- ant or depressing, that memory will remain with you. As you live your life from day to day, you can do much to make your moments of meditation a pleas- ant revelation. Your home, school, and church have made efforts to help you in your preparation. It will be your reaction to conditions as you find them that will indicate the degree of success that these forces have had on your development. If you try to do that which is right, and do it to the best of your ability, you will be storing up ex- periences which you will want to remember. Yes, you'll remember . . . HARRY R. HENLY Gite Supervising 5P'rincipal's eibffessage The exclamation I remember is not likely to be employed by you as frequently and as fervently as by those who are older and who sometimes are over- come with nostalgia as they recall characters and in- cidents of earlier days. However, already you have your memories, most of them pleasant ones to be sure. - There is a more serious side to remembering. Alexander Pope may have had it in mind when he wrote Remembrance and reflection how allied! What thin partitions sense from thought divide! Perhaps there is grace in forgetting as well as re- membering. Some things we have done, some of the mistakes we have made are best discarded from our memory book. Only the experience which has come to us through these mistakes should we carry with us, only the wisdom, the strength, and the grace of character with which these experiences have en- dowed us should we treasure. May you as graduating seniors summon up re- membrance of things pastf' but reflect on your ex- periences to gain an advantage therefrom, storing away for future use only those memories worth re- taining and, forgetting all else, press forward to the real life which lies before you and wherein lies your opportunity.

Many times they prob- ably felt like giving up in despair, but they stayed with us, and now as we end our years in school, we pay tribute to our teachers of yesteryear. They were always willing to lend a helping hand when we were in need. When we look back, we remember how we resented being scolded, when we were told to hush or stand stillgl' and we under- stand now why these teachers were a little strict at times. As we go out into every field of life, we will never forget such events as the first day we went to school. We were proud to be a part of the annual operetta or the May Day exercises. It was a thrill to take our first report card full of A's and B's home to our parents. We waited so long for the day we would get to fourth grade, to change rooms for class periods. We will never forget the humor Mr. Dively brought to his classes. As we pause now to look back over those forma- tive years, we realize how much we owe these teach- ers, and we know it is more than we can ever repay.

As we, the seniors, enter the familiar halls of BBJHS for our last and best year of high school, our thoughts are filled with memories. As we are getting accustomed to the many new duties that confront us, we are summoned to Room 4 for a class meeting. Senior pictures will be taken Thursday and Friday, was the exciting news that went around the first week of September. As the first month of school progressed, the senior class elected their officers. William Roberts was elected president and therefore took over the duties and the problems of committees. At a meeting held in the middle of December, the class chose the white rose as its flower, Forward Ever, Backward Neveru was selected as the class motto, col- ors of Kelly green and white lent vivid contrast to the class colors. The Man on the Stairs was presented November 4, with Mrs. Cesarone directing this event, and Shelvie Fogle and Eleanor Hoffman as the student co-directors. This event was the seniors' way of paying their share of the prom, along with support from the junior class. Basketball season brought lots of new cheers, with the six senior cheerleaders in their bright blue-and-white uniforms, leading the student body in backing up their team. The basketball team had four senior boys in the starting line-up. Eight senior boys represented the class on the gridiron during the football season. Christmas vacation time brought many new and ex- citing things. janet Birchfield was chosen to represent our class and school as Maple Princess. She presented a dramatic reading from joan of Arc to Win her this honor. In the field of musical talent, the class was well rep- resented in mixed chorus. Two senior girls were chosen to sing in the Central-Western District Chorus, held in Somerset, February 10, ll, 12. The girls' ensemble of ten singers claimed seven senior members, all from the mixed chorus. Band and orchestra claimed a high per- centage of the senior class as members. Many of the senior class were very busy with hall patrol duties, and the commercials got much practical experience with their many secretarial assignments for teachers. . The class party was held in the gym in the early Part of March, with everyone having a gay time. The prom also gets its attention from the members of the class, in decorating the gym, planning refreshments and inviting their guests. Class night was the last affair in which we all had a chance to express ourselves to our classmates. With Commencement as a time to be long remembered, we said good-by to our Alma Mater, our class traditions, and our class sponsors, Mr. Lehman and Mr. Suder. With this We said farewell to the classes and activities of our many school years, long to be remembered. Zl I remember us . . . R. Adams W. Adams' I. K. Birclafield I. A.

The elections of the seventy members of this class gave the duties of president to Read Roberts. At this election the class also chose pink and black as their class colors. When the juniors had their annual class party, a round dance, on November 12th, the gymnasi- um was gaily decorated with various colored balloons and crepe-paper streamers of the class colors. As always, it was a thrilling experience for the juniors when they received their treasured class rings. They were all seen going around shining them so folks would know that the rings were 10K gold-plated. Miss Moore and Mrs. Cesarone, the ambitious advis- ers of this class, definitely supported it during the sale of magazine subscriptions last fall. The profits of these sales helped to pay the expenses of the junior-senior prom in the spring. The juniors worked steadily with Glass of ' 56 the seniors through the long, hard hours to prepare for the prom, but they all thought it was worth it. Every year the feeling seems to be that each prom is bigger and better than the one before it. Another responsibility of the class was presenting their play, a comedy, which was directed by Mrs. Baltzer. In the band there were sixteen musically talented members and the manager of the band who represented their class. They participated in the many band activi- ties of this year, including the exercises at half time during football season, community parades, Maple Fes- tival Parade and their spring concerts. The junior class is well represented in orchestra with ten members. In the sport of football, there were ten energetic boys who displayed their talents on the gridiron. Basketball enlisted the aid of six members of the junior class. The juniors enjoyed the thrill of being upperclassmen without the weight of senior responsibilities.

But along with responsibilities we need recreation. Ours was in the fun of a round and square dance, with everyone swinging his partner Dosey-do! Along with fun go the sports events, basketball and football, in which many of our class participated. Before school was out, several members of our class tried out for junior varsity cheer- leaders. Of these peppy girls, six were chosen. Along with being a sophomore goes hard work in the way of our studies. As we held our Hrst class meeting to elect officers, the class elected Larry Cooper as president of the Sophomore Class. There were many very talented members of our class who were honored by being chosen to sing in the mixed chorus. Also in the field of music, band and orchestra had a very large representation from our sophomore class. One sophomore boy was chosen to attend Central Western District Chorus, held in Somerset in February. As the year progressed, we were summoned to the auditorium to be measured for our long-awaited class rings which we were all very eager to receive. As spring came, May came with it, and the last day of school arrived. This time we said So-long to our class sponsors, Mrs. Baltzer, Mrs. Lehman and Mr. Bush, and looked forward to coming back the following year as members of the junior class, to all the frills and fun that would then be ours.

REPRINTED BY PERMISSION OF HARCOURT, BRACE AND COMPANY, INC. Last fall there was a new group of ambitious stu- dents who started their journey through the four exciting years of high school. These pupils comprised the freshman class of 1954-55. This was the year when they laid the foundation for their three future years in high school. At the end of the freshman year they made a choice from one of the four courses: academic, commercial, industrial or voca- tional, which are offered by the school. They learned that the academic course is primarily for those people planning to continue in higher education after their graduation from high school, the commercial course is to train the pupils planning to enter into the busi- ness field, the industrial course is for those interested in mechanics and wookworkg the vocational course is designed for our future farmers and homemakers. This class has entered wholeheartedly into the sports program in our school. Fourteen robust boys from this class, through the wearing of football uni- forms, carried their school colors, blue and white, onto the football field. In the exciting game of bas- ketball, nine boys from the freshman class showed Glass of '58 their knowledge of good sportsmanship on the basketball court. The boys, both the ones who par- ticipated in the sport of football and those who came out for basketball, are eagerly looking forward to three more wonderful years to join again in these two competitive sports. The freshman class members in the band really helped to fill the ranks and files. Some pupils in the class found a place in their schedule to enter into the activities of orchestra. Thursday, September 16th, the one hundred and one freshmen held meetings in the individual home- rooms and elected Ray Boyer to fill the office of president. At their class party the students had a wonderful time. The gymnasium walls echoed to the sound of the round and square dance. In the spring, the freshmen were thrilled with the event of choosing two girls who were both popular and attractive, to represent the class in the May Queen's court. They also chose two boys to escort the attendants.

BY KATHRYN FORBES REPRINTED BY PERMISSION O HARCOURT BRACE AND COMPANY INC 47 CLASS OF '59 Walking down memory lane, we recall how eager we were to finish our second year of junior high school. As eighth graders we were involved in many extra- curricular activities along with our regular studies. We took part in indoor baseball, and our class was well represented on the football and basketball teams. We made our headquarters in rooms 8-7 and 8-5, with Mrs. Bender, Mrs. Glessner and Mr. Gerber as our class sponsors. Our class maintained a high scholastic average, as was shown on the honor roll. We earned commend- able scores in the achievement tests. One big event was the choosing of a girl and boy from our class to receive the annual eighth-grade Legion Award Medals. My, aren't they starting young was the com- ment from the upperclassmen, as we walked hand in hand with our best girls. There are a certain num- ber of steadies in any class, and our group was no exception. We soon found out that our class was bulging at the seams with talent. This was put to good use by Miss Hay and Mr. Schaefer. There was a very large representation from our class in band and orchestra. Several members were honored by being able to take part in the junior High Operetta. Activities were many, and our class made use of all of them. Sports Club, Boys' Chorus, Junior Y-Teens and Mountain-Ear rated high on the list of clubs chosen. We all looked forward to coming back to a school year filled with new and added responsibilities. CLASS OF '60 Seventh grade at last was the remark heard from the various homerooms that accommodate these first- year junior high school students. It seems that this class went out for sports, es- pecially football and basketball, in a big way, also, they participated in the noontime sports events. The girls, however, were not slighted in the least. They were very active at noon time playing girls' kickball and basketball. The seventh graders took advantage of the many club activities offered to them. Some of the most favored clubs were Sports Club, junior high organi- zations of F. H. A., Y-Teens and Chorus. They rated high in scholastic standing, as this class took pride in having a representation on the honor roll. The class took the achievement tests that were given in grades 6 through 8, and they came out with a very commendable average. This energetic group made their headquarters in rooms 7-8, 7-ll and 7-14, with Miss Hay, Mrs. Men- horn and Mrs. Hay as their class sponsors. Many of these students have a talent for music, as you know if you are a fan of the band and orchestra in which many of the class participated. These energetic and lively youngsters will never forget the memories of their first year as junior-high school students. cfllcltievements of the pigtail set . CLASS OF '61 August 30, 1954, through the halls of the high school walked a new group of students. Some were looking eagerly forward to the coming school term others hesitated, but then they held up their heads and proudly walked into the building where their re maining year of grammar school would be spent These students were the new class of sixth graders The eighty-eight new pupils took their places in three homerooms. Their homeroom teachers were either Mrs. Imhoff, Miss Rhoads or Mr. Smith. In each of these classes homeroom officers were elected The three presidents were: Ruth Hay, representing Miss Rhoads' homeroom, Delores Landis, represent ing Mrs. Imhoff's homeroom, james Croner, repre senting Mr. Smith's homeroom. During the week of Hallowe'en, the rooms were decorated with ghosts and goblins, witches and black cats. The individual rooms had parties at which they played games and had refreshments. At Thanks giving, they attended the program in the auditorium with the rest of the high school. They had a Christ mas party, and on St. Valentines Day each room had a beautiful valentine box. There was one member of the class in our band This year the sixth graders took physical education which was a new and exciting class for them. These eager Junior High School students find pleasure in being promoted to the next higher grade. They derive enjoyment from establishing themselves with their new grade, their teachers, and their challenging subjects. Their Junior High School life is a period they will always remember. W .

Bervalon Mrs. Ream, Mrs. Lehman 52 The senior class each year has the big responsibility of pre- senting the Bervalon. The staffs job starts at the beginning of the school year, when everything is organized. Layouts must be planned, pictures taken and then identified, while the editorial staff makes plans for the writeups, and the business staff proceeds to raise the money necessary for the project. All of these activities, although faculty-supervised, are student- managed. Like most yearbooks, the Bervalon puts emphasis on a pic- torial summary of the school year, this requires much time and effort. Everyone on the staff works together, making sure that every person in the school gets his picture in the Bervalon at least once. Following tradition, the color and theme of the 1955 Ber- valon were kept secret until it was distributed.

The Mountain-Ear stair' this year is made up of students from grades nine through twelve. A lively interest in journal- ism is a major requirement for all staff members. Staff duties include getting ideas for articles, covering all the news events, writing, typing, proof reading, taking pictures, helping with the layout, and distributing the paper after it is published. This work is carried on under the supervision of the adviser, Mrs. Evelyn R. Baltzer. To provide some training in the field of journalism and to provide an outlet and an opportunity for those students who have journalistic ability are the aims of the Mountain-Earf' It acts also as a means of relaying news of school events to its readers, both students and parents. The Board of Education finances the publication of the Mountain-Ear, and one copy of each issue is given to every family having children going to school. BBJHS graduates who are in the armed forces derive much pleasure from receiving copies of the paper. The letters re- ceived from these young men and women are proof of the joy this service brings to them. The thirteenth birthday of the Mountain-Ear is being celebrated this year. This year, for the first time, the paper is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association. This means that our school paper will be judged along with papers from other schools and thus provide a means for com- petition and improvement. The co-editors for this year were Read Roberts and Faye Marker. Beatrice Krepelka was news editor. . big business Mountain-Ear Faye Marker, MN. Baltzer, Read Robert!

Library Club A strange buzzing comes from the library as we walk down the first-floor hall during activity period on Wednesday morning. Of course, it is the Library Club mending books or getting ready for another second hand book sale. This group is under the supervision of Mrs. Earl Boyer. These busy bees work strenuously each week to keep the library in tip-top condition. If you have ever wondered who was responsible for the inviting orderliness of the shelves, you needn't wonder any longer. These zeal- ous students deserve this credit. The aim of this club is to stimulate the students' interest in books. The members do this in many ways. Special bulletin board displays are erected by the members to interest others in reading library books. This year a special activity in which the club par- ticipated was a skating party. This was enjoyed by everyone. The president of Library Club is Nancy Faidley. Betty Lou Deeter was elected vice presidentg and Dolly Webb, as secretary, keeps the club records straight. Mary Sivits holds the financial position, as club treasurer. All the officers are sophomores. Teen-Age Book Club A group of twenty boys, all of them from the seventh and the ninth grades, comprise this year's Teen-Age Book Club, under the interested direction of Mr. Pritz. The two main functions of this club are to sponsor the local chapter of the Teen-Age Book Club, which is a national organization, and to create a greater interest in reading among young people. As sponsors of TAB, the club members cir- culate each month throughout the homerooms in the high school. At this time they take orders for books which have been carefully selected by a national committee of people who are interested in teen agers' reading material. There is always a large variety of books from which to choose one's favorites. All of these activities, of course, are non-profit. During the club periods each week, the boys look through different types of magazines to discover the various ways in which magazines are composed. They also read books, either fiction or non-fiction, according to their individual tastes in literature. Ray Boyer serves the club as president. In the office of vice president is Leslie Rhodes. Carl Saylor is the secretaryg and serving as treasurer is Verl Bittner. Row 1: Carolyn Llewellyn, Carol Gindlesperger, Rose Ann Swet, Rebecca Drenning, Delores Buratty, Mary Ludy.

Chico This club of girls, with its members chosen from the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, began the year by holding the annual initiation. The new members were initiated at the Community Grove. To finance the annual dinner-dance, the girls sold stickers, pennants, pins and pencils. They also spon- sored a dance after the Boswell basketball game, and they checked coats at every game. For entertainment at their meetings, they had prominent people from the surrounding community give talks and reports on different subjects. At their Christmas meeting the girls had a ten- cent grab bag. Instead of exchanging expensive gifts, the girls decided to send the money to Care to buy food for the children in Korea. This year the club had co-sponsors, which must be teachers. They were Mrs. Bender and Miss Hay. Those teachers helped to keep the club in action. Phyllis Carver, as president, presided at meetings, with Faye Sweitzer as vice president. The minutes were recorded by the club secretary, Nancy Walker. All financial matters were passed on to Marcelene Hartman, the treasurer. C6716 things we did . . Art Club Art Club is made up of students between grades ten and twelve who are interested in advanced art. This club is instructed by Miss Altfather. There were three main projects this year. The first was chip carving. First, the student obtains the item which he wishes to carve. Among the various articles which were carved were boxes, trays, bowls, and book ends. Then a design is made on the object by using a ruler. The carving is done with razor blades. Then the object is sanded and shellacked. Next came leather work. The first step is to cut the leather into the shape which is needed for the completed project. Most of the students made wal- lets. Next, the leather is designed, done by the use of a modeler. Before being completed, the in- side and outside of the wallet are laced together. The next project was ceramics. Many students worked on this project. Working the clay, molding a design, and baking the object are the most impor- tant steps. Then the article is painted and shellacked. Along with these main projects, many students learned to textile-paint, either by using the silk screen or brush. Knitting, weaving and Crocheting captured the interest of many of the girls. 57 ,Schoolday traffic directors . Hall Patrol One step at a time and down around! comes from janet as we watch the changing of classes in the corri- dors. Newcomers may be confused and astonished at the degree of orderliness in our halls between class periods. They may ask, Why are the students chang- ing classes so systematically? This condition comes about because a group of industrious seniors, on hall patrol posts, direct traffic and help to minimize the confusion in the halls. At the beginning of the year, the seniors elected Donald Blough and William Ringer as co-captains of the squad. At the end of the first semester, a new group of senior hall patrolmen take over the positions. During the last few weeks of each school year, the junior class corridor squad assumes the job of patroling the halls. This is done so that starting next year the patrol members will know their duties and positions. A special privilege enjoyed by the hall patrolmen is to leave their classes on the first bell, while other stu- dents remain until the second bell rings. One of the factors producing orderly class changing is the use of the middle stairs by students going up, and the end stairs by students going down. Schoolboy Patrol Neither rain, nor sleet, nor hail will keep them from doing their duty. No, they are not the postmeng they are the members of Schoolboy Patrol. Schoolboy Patrol is divided into two groups, the town patrol and the bus patrol. It is the duty of the town patrol to protect students crossing streets on their way home from school. Parking cars and helping to con- trol the traffic at school events in the evenings are also important jobs which are being done by these boys and girls. The bus patrolmen direct the children safely across the highway as they leave the busses. Berlin would probably have a higher accident rate if it weren't that these alert boys and girls are on their toes every moment that they are working. These stu- dents aim to maintain pedestrian safety. Each patrolman receives a pass which enables him to attend movies free on Friday and Saturday. This is only a small payment for the useful service that they perform. This is James Platt's third year as captain of School- boy Patrol. Congratulations are due him for his lively interest in such an important organization. This ac- tivity is under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Gerber. UPPER GROUP field, B. Smith. Adams. M.

The seven girls in this organization are hoping to further their education by entering the field of nursing, so Mr. Gerber is attempting to help them by getting them ac- quainted with nursing as a profession. Some club objectives are as follows: to acquaint pros- pective nurses with the schools in our area, to let them become familiar with the entrance requirements, and most important, to discover if they will qualify when they are graduated, to have them learn about the specialized phases of nursing, and finally, to help the girls select their schools. They are doing this far enough ahead so that there is no last-minute rush to de- cide on a school and then try to meet its requirements. ln working toward their objectives, the girls have sent for catalogs from the various schools, and they study these catalogs carefully. Mr. Gerber helps them to write letters of inquiry about applications, also, he ob- tains educational films on the nursing and medical professions. The current officers are: Carolyn Leonard, president, Irene Hoover, vice president, Mary jane Smith, secre- tary, Evelyn Grenke, treasurer.

Drama Club Heads upll' Shoulders backli' No, we aren't in the army. We're just looking in on the Drama Club, di- rected by Mrs. Cesarone. The membership consisted of twenty sophomores, juniors and seniors. The weekly meetings were always opened with a devotional period. During the first part of the year, the members of Drama Club discussed methods of improving posture and voice, and the correct application of theatrical make-up. They practiced walking with books on their heads, relaxing muscles and speaking distinctly. They practiced these things not only in Drama Club, but they also practiced and applied them to their daily lives. Later in the year they worked on a play to be given in a spring assembly. The play was entitled She Laughs Last. At Christmas, the members of Drama Club enjoyed a spirited holiday party. The club had as their guests Mr. Cassel and Mr. Henly. In February, the club held a dance in the gym during noon and homeroom periods. Since it was near Valentinels Day, they called it Cupid's Hopf, The officers of the club are as follows: president, Sara jane Leecy, vice president, Fae Platt, secretary, Mary Martha Engleka, treasurer, Pauline Chaney. 59 Whey reap N ature's rewards.

Glee Club The club is newer in our school than some of the others. It started about four years ago, under the di- rection of Mr. Joseph Long, a former teacher. When he left our school, Miss Betty Hay, our vocal music director, took the club. These boys are from grades nine through twelve and they sing both one- and two- part songs. Most of us don't realize the work that goes into a song, when we hear it sung. These boys enjoyed singing and tried very hard to make their songs as smooth as possible. Because of scheduling mix-up, the Glee Club had to be discontinued for this year, but we hope the boys will start their club again next year.

Of course, you've al- ready guessed it, it's the Mixed Chorus under the in- terested direction of Miss Betty Hay. The mixed chorus always has a very full calendar, and when school begins, one of the first events calling for choral music is the Thanksgiving program. For this, the chorus favored a very attentive audience with songs such as Bless This House and Harvest Homefl After the last of the Thanksgiving turkey has been eaten and November rounds into December, Christmas fills the air.

The singers chant the familiar carols all over town, re- turning later to the school for hot chocolate 'n' hot dogs. The soft strains of Silent Night fill the auditorium with the soft music during the annual Christmas pro- gram, sending the student body home for vacation filled with the true spirit of Christmas. The days are getting warmer, and the mixed chorus is preparing to take a trip to Indiana State Teachers College, to see a musical presentation. The college usually presents a musical comedy, an appreciation of which broadens the scope of the younger musicians. After returning, plans are made for the chorus to pre- sent its own operetta. Last year's presentation of Marianne was very suc- cessful. In the leading role was Margaret Will, who played the title role of a young girl who was about to inherit an emerald mine. Florabelle Walker, Robert Smith, Andy Deeter and John Stoner contributed their talent to this delightful combination of melody, comedy and drama. After a very successful performance, the mixed chorus turns its ideas to District Chorus. In the past years BBJI-IS has sent various members to State Chorus. After all the activities of State Chorus, the activities slow down until the time for the County Festival. Then once again soft music fills the air as the chorus rehearses its numbers for this musical event, to which the whole chorus is invited. Along with the mixed chorus, Miss Hay has selected an ensemble of ten girls who provide music for various occasions.

Band A cold, frosty morning during football season finds the Blue and White Band marching outdoors, going through its maneuvers for the coming game. The band has made a fine reputation for itself and its instructor, performing the beautiful pageantry at the half-time periods of the football games. First in the marching band is the color guard, with its colorful flags and rifles. Then the high-stepping drum major struts by, in white top-hat and tails. The Hag twirlers are not far behind, doing their well- selected, polished routines. The majorettes are next, stepping high to a frolicking cadence. In the ten ranks and six files, the band takes form-the trombones, drums, clarinets and corners, all played by marching musicians clad in crisp blue and white. Some of the more attractive shows put on by the band during the past football season can still be recalled for their gaiety. The Farmer's Day, American Heritage, Beverage Timen and Season Sportsu rank high on the list of favorites. The majorettes always add spirit to the follies by square-dancing, picking corn and other appro- priate features. When the fellows and girls grow, and the uniforms donlt, there comes time for a uniform exchange. Some Row 1: Shirley Mowry, Jean Hummel, Eloise Gill. of the uniforms which are on the racks from the gradu- ates are handed out, and the smaller uniforms are put on the racks for further use. This group has participated in many parades. Up to the present time, the band has in its bank account, checks for several first- and second-place honors won in parade competition. When the colder weather sets in, the band goes indoors and puts the marches away for awhile, the solemn and slow overtures are dug out and dusted off, to be brought to life in winter practices. Constant practice pays off in the spring of the year, when the band presents a very successful concert. Work always pays off, and when All-County Band comes up on the school calendar, various band members are asked to participate. The boys and girls representing schools all over the county are given positions in All-County Band. If any students from BBJHS receive first chair, with their particular instrument, they are then permitted to go to District Band. The same thing holds true with district organization, and if the students are presented with the first chair at District, they then have the honor of going to All-State Band. The Blue-and-White Band has had the privilege of seeing two or three of the most talented members present at this organization of young musicians.

It has become the custom for the band to send a majorette or drum-major to represent the school's twirlers. The young musicians have time for entertainment, too. They have had some very elaborate parties in the high school gymnasium. At these parties the band members, orchestra members, and guests stoke up on coke and ice cream, cookies and chips. By use of a nominated slate, the band members chose the following officers last fall: Prerident .......... ...r... H arold Hay Vice Prerident ..,......i.. .,..,... .

Mr. Schaefer is known throughout this district for his extraordinarily beautiful pageants presented by the Blue-and-White Band in football season. Changing from the quick-stepping tempo of the band, Mr. Schaefer steps onto the podium to direct orchestra which appears throughout the year for musical and dramatic performances.

Twirling Club Oops! There went another baton! Well, prac- tice makes perfect! That is the aim of Twirling Club. The gym floor took the bumps and bangs from the barons of these spirited amateurs. The members are divided into groups taught and guided by the majorettes and Hag twirlers. They develop grace and poise as well as the ability to handle the baton. Mr. Bush, an experienced twirler, directs the activities of the club. On various occasions during the year, the club participates in parties. Each member's ultimate goal is to qualify as a drum major or majorette with the Blue-and-White Band. Their weekly practice prepares them for the contest held by Mr. Bush at the end of each year.

' 66 Orchestra The BBJHS Orchestra is led by Mr. William Schaefer, a graduate of Penn State University. Throughout the year there are regularly scheduled practices necessary to produce a well- organized orchestra. Of course, prac- tice makes perfect, and when the orchestra is asked to render any musi- cal numbers for plays throughout the year, it comes close to giving a perfect performance. Also, the orchestra has been honored, several times over the years, by being asked to play for the colorful pageantry presented at the Somerset County Maple Festival. ln- dividual members of the orchestra have been selected to participate in the Central-Western Orchestra, which was held this year at Ford City. Like the band, the orchestra presented a concert at the All-County Festival this year. The orchestra members join with the band members to make a success of the annual party in the high-school gymnasium. The band, presenting quick-stepping marches, joins with the orchestra playing soft and low overtures to present an enjoyable eve- ning for all music-lovers when the spring concert comes up on the school calendar. The orchestra is discon- tinued during the summer months, and its members return to school each fall alert and eager for a fresh start. In the beginning of the year the band and orchestra members had a joint meeting at which the officers were elected. May it be proudly added that BBJHS is one of only four schools in the county to maintain an orchestra. UPPER GROUP Row 1: Becky Walters, Carol Heller, Helen Miller.

Both Jane and Sally are ex- pecting their cousins and must find dates for them also. janels father and their next-door neighbor raise peonies. They are both very proud of their peonies, and as each one thinks that his peonies are just a little better than the other's there is quite a bit of feuding between the men. As the dance approaches, Sally gets a date with her boyfriend, Jim. jane is about to get a date when Sally's cousin comes and steals her boyfriend from her. As the complications concerning the dance increase, we find Cindy, an out-of-town guest, trying to solve everyonels problems. In do- ing so, she creates even more dif- ficulties, not only for the others but also tor herself. In the meantime, Mr. Ahern and Mr. Cutler have entered a peony show. Mr. Ahern raises white peonies and enters some of his White Ladies. Mr. Cutler raises red peonies, so he enters his Red Longfellowsf, Since the peonies are raised close together, they have cross-pollinated. Elroy, thinking the red-and-white peonies are pretty, enters some of them in the names of Mr. Ahern and Mr. Cut- ler. As a result, Elroy's peonies win but Mr. Ahern and Mr. Cutler get the trophy, and the feuding dies a natural death. On the evening of the dance we find every girl with an escort. As the curtain goes down they start happily off for a wonderful evening. UPPER GROUP Don Blough, Kay Ann Bowser, Dick Adams, Margaret Will, Phyllis Carver, Jack Meyers, Philip Nider, Nancy Walker.

They moved here after being notified of Jim's death while he was on a trip to gather material for a book. Soon after they arrived, Aunt Molly heard strange noises, she began to see a man who would come down the stairs to the landing and disappear. This worried Mary jane, so she sent for Jed Stuart, a college friend, to help her solve the mystery. One day a man appeared from upstairs, and they discovered that Aunt Molly had taken him in out of the rain. A little later three people arrived: Victoria Trouble, a distant relative of Jim Murdock, Mrs. Murdock, the widow of Jim's brother, and her daughter Gwen came, thinking there might be a gold mine among Jim's belongings. The first man Mary jane had seen was Mrs. Murdock's lawyer, Richard Humphries. Phillip Magnin then put in his appearance as a magician and mind reader. Meanwhile, Aunt Molly had been hearing more noises, and linally she decided to catch her spook. She hid in the upstairs hall, pro- ceeding to hit everyone with a broom. Phillip Magnin, getting in the way of the broom, be- gan to remember things, and with jed's help, the mystery was finally solved. Aunt Mollyls Spook was Mike Moran, an old desert pros- pector, who thought all of these strangers were policemen. He knew that Phillip Magnin was jim Murdock, and he believed that jim must have been hiding from the police, but when jim remembered that someone had hit him over the head, causing a temporary memory loss, the plot complications were ironed out to everyone's satisfaction. . comedy and drama UPPER GROUP: Bill Roberts, Dorothy Hepler, Margaret Will, John Foust, Mlm on the Stairs, Robert Sicheri.

Don Smith appears amused at Ida Sass and Mary Glessner primping for the prom, While Rachael Miller chats with Bob Schmucker and jack Shober. The Prom Oh, what a lovely gown! Gee, don't they look sharp this evening! are a few of the things we hear in the corridors on the evening of a Junior-Senior Prom. Each new dress must be thoroughly inspected and appraised, each lovely corsage must call forth ad- miring comments. A surprise awaits us inside the gym door, for the bare brick-walled gym has been transformed into a Southern plantation, a country garden, or an enchanted forest. Before the dance only the people on the decorating committees know the decorating scheme. Every prom-goer is thrilled by the breath-taking beauty of the gym and by the orchestra's soft, dreamy music. Then comes one of the high-lights of the evening-intermission. At this time the underclassmen entertain, cutting capers with skits, solos, or pantomimes. After the en- tertainment, prom-trotters enjoy refreshments. This year we initiated the plan of having an extended prom. This was brought about by the Parent-Teachers' Association. The extended prom lasted until 5:30 a. m., after which a breakfast disappeared very rapidly. The students were delighted with this new plan and co-operated to make it a success. At the close of a memorable evening, we went contentedly home, with many unfor- gettable memories of the big social event of the year. . . a studenfs life Miss Mardell Keefer Queen of the May Early in the spring of 1954 the senior class chose this pretty lass to be their annual May Queen. Although May 5th was a cool, brisk day, a fairly large crowd of people came to witness the gala affair. The theme for the 1954 May Day pageant was Leis Pretendf' There were many colorful dances and routines performed for the Queen and her court by grade school and high school students alike. The climax and conclusion to the annual festivities came with the winding of the maypoles. Success of the program was the outgrowth of hard work by Miss Hay, Miss Peters, Miss Saylor and Mr. Schaefer. 75 If .it wawlce X042 77 C4 . 77 ewdwzf 4!gL7n2ovJu Ag!-00 gr .

Girls, Athletic Association is composed of girls from the four upper grades. The organization of this club was for one reason-sports. Some of these sports are softball, archery, basketball and volleyball. Teams are formed for each sport, and a tournament is held to select the best team. Usually a party is given for the winning team by the losers. The aim of the members is to study play patterns and techniques. Learning to officiate for all kinds of games, such as basketball and softball, is another goal the girls try to reach by participating in the many activities of this club. These girls work for awards which are given each year according to the number of years a member belongs. The awards are presented at a banquet held at the end of the school year. All members look for- ward to this date with great anticipation. The president is Barbara Smith, the vice president is jean Walters, Catharine Gary is secretary, and Emily Saylor is treasurer. . . . the games we played Sports Club The seventh and eighth grade boys who belong to Sports Club are developing good sportsmanship at an early age. Coach Lichvar teaches them this worth- while character trait while instructing them in the fundamentals of various team sports such as basket- ball and football, and in other active games. During basketball season, the coach explains the markings of the basketball floor, and the boys learn the rules that govern one of the favorite winter sports. In the fall, just after school begins, football must be explained and practiced. These prospective athletic stars enjoy other games when basketball and football are put aside for a while. Enjoyment of everything they do is evident to anyone watching them participate in these activities. The boys are frequently divided into groups for games requiring group competition. Whenever these energetic boys play, Coach Lichvar carefully observes them in order to discover any special abilities that they display. 77 S S -Zi..

Due to a strong defense on the part of the Moun- taineers, Forbes was held to two touchdowns. When the gun sounded for the final time, the score was 14-O in favor of the jets. SOMERSET-The next week the Mountaineers journeyed to Somerset for their annual tilt with the Somerset Eagles. It was in the second quarter that the determined team from Berlin hit pay dirt in the form of a line plunge by halfback Don Blough, Then Dick Adams slanted off tackle for the extra tally. This left the score at the half standing at 7-7. The boys from Berlin came out strong in the third quarter, only to be set back again by the loss of Quarterback Neil Donner, who was put out of action for the rest of the season by a broken shoulder. The Mounties took it on the chin to the tune of 20-7. SHADE-Shade brought to Berlin one of the strongest teams in the county. Although they had a line which was much heavier than the one fielded by the home team, Don Smith at 126 and his pal, Tom Dively, along with the rest of the Mountie line, were confronted with larger and more experienced opponents from Central City. Shade took this one 26-0. Top Row: Donner, Custer. :Row Q: Harding, Dively, Shipley. Row 3: Blough, Roberts, D. Smith.

With Blough making only his second start as quarterback, Berlin was gratified to find him doing a remarkable job. Blough, himself, made two touch- downs, one an 88-yard punt return. Porter and Roberts each added six. Also doing the scoring were Roberts and Adams, who each carried the mail for one and two conversions respectively. The final score: 27-O, Meyers- dale on the little end. REPLOGLE-Ever go swimming in six inches of water? Well, the football team of BBJHS did. It was raining when the team left for Replogle, but they didn't know what was coming-or shall we say who? Her name was Hazel-Hazel Hurricane, that is. This was the main event at the 18-0 defeat for Berlin, secondary was the loss of Adams for awhile, the wet sand had rubbed his leg raw. RICHLAND-The Richland game was the closest of the year. We got the only touchdown when a Richland player fumbled in the end zone, and quick-thinking guard, Frank Shipley, jumped on it to score. BOSWELL-In the final game Boswell saw Blough make six, Adams added one to make the final score 20-7, Boswell. SCHEDULE BBIHS Opp. September 17-Forbes ...........................,, .,,....

The day was gloomy and it was raining when the Berlin team took to the field. It was gloomier yet when they left the field-tired, wet, and mud- dy after that 27-7 setback. SOMERSET-The next game was played at Berlin in the rain. The strong J-V team from Somerset brought Berlin to its knees by the score, 27-0. SOMERSET-For a change the weather was clear as Berlin played its third game of the season at Somerset. Ohler, who had come through for our touchdown in the Boswell game, kept up the good work by crossing the line in the third quarter for six. The extra point was added by Ray Miller. The score at the end was 35-7, Somerset on top. BOSWELL-Boswell, considered the best J-V football team in the county, came to Berlin to send the home team down by the score, 15-0. SHADE-Berlin in the last game of the season played host to Shade. It was the closest game of the year. The stu- dents of BBJHS saw Caron and Gooden each go over for six in the second quarter. This matched Shade, so the final was 12-12. -J- Basketball Team Future Farmers of America MEYERSDALE-36-21-After getting off to a slow start, the BBJHS five came on to outscore the Raiders in all the following periods.
