CLASS HISTORY FRESHMEN Our voyage started September eight 1950 when we entered B.H.S. for the first time. This was an unforgettable chapter in our lives. We really became a part of high school life when we were initiated by the seniors. Our first social was given in May, in the form of a party for the Seniors. Many new friends were made this year. SOPHOMORES The second year our first money making dance, The Noah’s Ark”, was given. For the second time we were victorious in winning the magazine drive. As a result of this, the students began to take a more active part in school activities. This was also the year that we saw our favorite teacher Mr. Matthews leave to continue his studies at the University of Connecticut. At this point we had finished half our voyage. JUNIORS When we entered school for our third year we were confronted with a netv regime—a new principal plus a new study system. Our class set a new record by winning the magazine drive for the third consecutive year. Our class rings arrived, our second square dance The Harvest Moon Hop” vas given and we also gave our first formal dance, The Bermuda Cruise.” This year was smoother sailing. SENIORS Memories of the past four years came to our minds as we marched to the stage for our diplomas. It seemed like only yesterday that we were freshmen. Thoughts of the banquet, class day, senior ball, and all the rest of our activities flashed through our minds. This was hard work but in return we were paid for this in the entertainment and enjoyment we had on these unforgettable occasions. The strenuous studying it took to have these diplomas handed to us will never be forgotten either! The year was rounded off with two social dances—senior play and freshman initiation. The most unforgettable character was Mr. Davis, (better known as Curly), the adult manager of the magazine drive. These drives netted our class a tidy sum of money to help cover some of its expenses. The seas were rough and treacherous but we finally completed our voyage. 19
