CLASS HISTORY FRESHMEN September, 1947 we entered Berlin High School as little angels. On Initiation Day, that very same month, we were turned into little Lulu ' s and Dimwits! This same night we attended our first social event of the year given for us by the Seniors. In return, we entertained them at a dance on January 31, 1948. This year saw the be- ginning of Junior Olympic Day. Another holiday, hurrah! Although our class was in charge of restoration, we had plenty of fun and refreshments. By the end of the year it seemed, sometimes, as if the angel wings were giving place to horns. SOPHOMORES Our second year we gave our first money-making dance, The Joker ' s Jig. A lot of joking and jiggling was done by all. It was no joke, however, when we lost the magazine drive to the Juniors by the slightest of margins. But better days were yet to come. The Sophomore year showed promise of our boys becoming all-star athletes. We all took great pride and pleasure in watching them perform at those thrilling games. With regret we saw three of our well-liked teachers leave at the close of the year. JUNIOR We all felt big and proud this year, when we received our class rings. We even felt bigger when we turned out the unforgettable Junior Aloha Prom. Many thanks to Mr. Kevorkian and to our hard working class-mates who turned out the unusual and wonderful decorations. Another success of our Junior year was the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The skit that was put on by our boys at this dance was a smash hit. We also can ' t forget the joy we experienced when we finally won the magazine drive. It sure helped our treasury and our outlook seemed brighter. SENIO R Seniors at last! We thought we would never make it. Our last year was a busy year but it was a momentous one. We all helped raise money for our treasury by selling refreshments at the games and also with the sale of Christmas cards. Then we had our class pictures taken and along With that came the job of editing the yearbook. Besides our many duties, we sponsored our last class activities. This started with the initiation of the Freshmen Class. Both students and faculty will never forget that day of bell- ringing and war paint. We then honored our new school members with a dance that same night. Next came our senior dance, The Seedless Hop. Again our boys put on a show that was acclaimed a great success. This was followed by our class play. Under the skillful direction and guidance of Mrs. Porter, January Thaw made a great hit as a comedy. Our last activities at Berlin High were the Senior Ball and, finally, that day of tearful departure, Graduation. With us, the class of 1951, we take cherished memories of our Alma Mater. 28
