When thefifty-fivers leave the hallowed halls of B.H.S., one of the most vivid recollections they will carry with them will be of the mountains of books which have played such a big part in their academic life. If they had taken every subiect available in their three years of high school, the collection of texts would resemble the stack above. A sizable memory but one that will be remembered with mixed emotions, no doubt. SENIORS

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Before I tell what I know about the Class of '55, I would like to introduce myself. I am the clock in the main hall of B.H.S. directly over the trophy case. Although I have never before had a chance to speak, I have been very proud iust watching the many classes come and go, and feeling that in my humble way I have Conf,-ibufed my part to their education. The Class of '55, like the many other classes I have seen enter B.H.S., was green and un- steady, hoping for the best, expecting the worst, buf always eager to do its part, hoping someday to be accepted as a part of this great school. To lead them through this trying year the class elected Carol Chrisenberry, president, Eugene Plummer, vice-president, Carolyn Smith, secre- tary, .lim Butcher, treasurer, Barbara Muret, Glenda Richardson, assembly committee, Carole Hoover, Joan Meade, Kathryn Allbaugh, Phyllis Tackett, Bill Rodgers, home room representa- tives, and was guided by the faithful hand of its sponsors, Mrs. Frank Magers, Miss Hattie Wilson, and Mr. W. O. Cook. Although their main iob was becoming known that first year, they iust didn't sit around. No sirl They put on one of the best assembly pro- grams ever to hit that auditorium, and had a whiz-bang of a class picnic to celebrate their successful year, '52-'53. They found their Junior year even harder to break into, but with more responsibility, much of which rested on the shoulders of Pat Dole, president, Eugene Plummer, vice-president, Barbara Muret, secretary, Jim Butcher, treasurer, Renan Lambring, reporter, Skippy McClafIin, Tonya Naylor, assembly committee, Doris Gardner, Polly Sole, Carol Robinson, and Glorene Carriger, home room representatives. One of the Juniors' first tasks was their assembly, which naturally was a huge success. B.H.S. then called on the class acting ability, which they gave wholeheartedly. The result was the Junior play, The Monkey's Uncle. The cur- tain went up three times, and three times played to packed houses. The biggest test of the year was the prom, which they handled beautifully. It was held in the new cafeteria. The theme was 'Moon Medley.'f The cafeteria was also the place of the class picnic, which had to be held inside because of bad weather, but was enioyed by all, At last, experienced and capable, the Class of '55 was organized and on them rested the res- ponsibility of leading the school. With their capable officers, J.R. Rader, president, Eugene Plummer, vice president, Joan Meade, secretary, Barbara Muret, treasurer, Stella Jackson, repor- ter, Dora Pemberton and Skippy McCIafIin, assembly committee, Gary Boyer, Carol Martin- dale, Nancy Kotchavar, and Nancy Yoder, home room representatives, they began on their last round. They put on two assemblies and the Senior Play, a smash comedy, with expert suc- cess. Realizing that with the prom and annual class picnic, they would be bowing out of B.H.S., the class of '55 felt more than a little bit sad about leaving although not one of them would admit it. What seems to be the most outstanding trait of the class is that they know this is not the end, but only the beginning in this experience called life. I know they will meet it with eagerness and will be successful. Knowing that their contribution to B.I'l-S. will never be forgotten, I shall go back to ticking in- stead of talking, and close my account of the Class of '55. -- - RODNEY CAMPBELL
