Senior: Senior Class l-listory By ,lAr'Qr'icI,iNE Fosfricn T was an awed, confused freshman class that entered B. H. S. in the fall of 1935. A new faculty, refractory lockers, bewildering corridors, and above all, those lofty and most esteemed upper-classmen terrified us into silence. Our first important activity in conjunction with the upper-classmen was the inter-class dramatic competition. VVe presented the farce, .al Try.sting Place, by Booth Tarkington. Andrew Uberg won the award for giving the best performance. The results of the sophomore election, held late that year, were: President, Thomas Brotchie: Vice-President., Barbara VVallace: Secretary, Helen Janottag Treasurer, ltlabel Christopher. Un December Q of our junior year we again took part in the Drama Night Competition. Wie presented a serious drama, The Elrlest, by Edna Ferber. The splendid acting of the whole cast won us the banner for the best performance of the evening. Emily Taylor. who played thc leading role, did a fine piece of Work, and justly deserved the award for the best individual acting. According to custom, at the senior assembly, several members of the junior class were inducted int.o the Gamma Chapter of the National Honor Society. Those who were given this great honor were: Priscilla Bresnahan, Mabel Christo- pher, Barbara Cole, Jeannette Ducharme, Jacqueline Foster, Vtiilliam Glovsky, and Patricia Preston. Last year, for the first time, the President and two members of the Student Council were elected by popular vote. Thomas Brotchie was elected President, William Glovsky, Yice-President: Jeannette Ducharme, Secretary: Bifabel Chris- topher, Treasurer. The two class representatives on the Student Council, also popularly elected were Jennette Bagnell and VVallace Vtveeks. Viiilliam Glovsky was chosen Class President for our Senior Year. The other officers elected were: Barbara VVallace, Vice-President: Shirley Anderson, Secretary: ltiabel Christopher, Treasurer. After the summer vacation came the long anticipated, yet much dreaded Senior Year, the busiest and most hectic year of all. At last. members of the es- teemed Senior Class, we took upon ourselves most of the responsibilities of our school organizations. Thomas Brotchie, President of the Student Council, presided at all the Assem- blies. VVallace VVeeks. editor of the Aegis: Edgar Eldridge, President of the House of Delegates: Cheever Cressy, Captain of the Safety Patrolg and Joe Benedetti, Captain of the Football Team have been very active in their respective duties. Our first Senior Social was a Barn Dance held in October. Bud Kilham's orchestra, attractive decorations, and many novelty dances made the affair a huge success. This year our contribution to the annual Drama Night Competition was Coirnwmanrl Performance by Jack Stuart Knapp. Eliot Tozer was awarded the prize for the best individual performance. As we look back, we can see many changes that have taken place in our four years at B. H. S. Vtie are the last class to spend four years in High School and the first class to elect the President of the Student Council by popular Vote. 6
