Berlin High School - Lamp Yearbook (Berlin, CT)

CLASS HISTORY FRESHMEN Our first year at Berlin High was really something. We came to school with that shy, angelic look on our faces and all intentions of learning the do's and don'ts. Freshmen Initiation crept up on us, and we found the girls wearing short dresses and the boys wearing beanies. Following the Freshmen Initiation the seniors gave us a party, which made us feel part of Berlin High. SOPHOMORE With hopes and dreams of a more prosperous year, we again entered the doors of Berlin High. We started the year with the Scarecrow Swing, a dance of which we were all proud because it was the first one we had given in our two years. We finally ordered our class rings, but were told we wouldn't receive them until we were Juniors. JUNIOR At last we were called upperclassmen, which made us feel very important. After waiting for what seemed like a few light years we received our class rings. After borrowing grass from a few graves, we completed the decorations for our Junior Prom which we called The Carousel. We tried our hand at everything, and never got a firm hold. We also gave a barn dance, but at the end of our Junior year the treasurer gave us a sad report. SENIOR Walking up those Senior stairs for the first time was like walking on a cloud. To most of us it seemed as if the three previous years had piled up in one, and we started the year as busy bees. We started off with Freshmen Initiation and a party that brought smiles from all. Rushing to and fro, we put the pages of our yearbook together, gave dances, and sold cards all in one breath. Into the middle of our busy hive came Mrs. Porter with a list of suggestions for our Senior play, out of which we chose Night Must Fall. While the cast of Night Must Fall rehearsed night after night, the rest of us were out trying to raise (pardon my French) money. Seems as if we could never get enough of that stuff. Following our Senior Ball we had our Senior Banquet with faculty and members of the Senior class attending. We did get off to a slow start in our first year, but we certainly made up for it in our last year. Graduation—as we walk down the aisle with the music of Pomp and Circumstance ringing in our ears, we know that the wonderful Berlin High and everything around it has led us into the world with our eyes open and a smile on our faces. 22
