FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1950 held its first freshman meeting October 2, 1946 at 10:25 a.m. This meeting was called to order by Miss Marcia Zabriskie, class adviser, for the purpose of electing officers. The freshman officers were Nathan Rome, president, Armand Cal- deria, vice-president, lsabelle Baldwin, secretary, and Ann Nicolle, treasurer. On February 14 the Freshmen had a Valentine's Day party planned by James Bon- vouloir, Barbara Hockert, Harold Jackson, and Nancy Miller. The Homemaking Class provided refreshments. One of the features of the program was a duet Little Annie Rooney by Lillian Roth and Edward Gundersen. During the year, our former gym teacher, Mrs. Faye Benson, gave the Freshmen ballroom dancing lessons. A Spring Frolic Dance for the entire school was sponsored by our class on March 21, 1947. The decoration committee, James Bonvouloir, Richard Burns, Catherine D'Addeo, Virginia Derench, Nancy Miller, Dorothy Prystula, Donald Robertson, and William Velhage carried out the theme of the dance with pastel stream- ers, a maypole and window box decorations. This dance, a success, adding 51.06 to the class treasury, was the final event of our Freshman year. SOPHOMORE YEAR The summer was soon over and we returned to school as sophomores. Our first meeting was on September 26 with Mr. Pearlmutter, our class adviser. At this meeting we elected our class officers and they were as follows: Edward Gundersen, President, Daniel Louro, Vice-President, Alma Davidson, Secretary, Anthony Louro, Treasurer. Our second meeting was held in March for the purpose of discussing our annual dance which was called The Irish Hop. The general committee for the dance was selected. They were Nancy Cawte, chairman, assisted by William Lotz, Richard Burns, Ann Nicolle, and Robert Milvae. The night finally came and the auditorium was gaily decorated with green and white trimmings. The centerpiece was a rock to represent the Blarney Stone. There were prizes awarded for such dances as the Balloon dance, Spot dance, and the Shamrock dance. The music was furnished by the Cavaliers. Our dues were important too. Don't think I have forgotten them. They were 51.00 a year. We had dues collectors in each room for the simple reason that we had a little trouble in collecting money. The collectors were Anthony Louro-room 6, Lois Pinney-room 5 and Armand Caldeira-room 9. Collecting dues was quite an ordeal for the collectors because it was catch me if you can when I have the money. Our sophomore year is one we will remember for many years to come. It is the year when we all think we have grown up to the point of adulthood and can carry on by ourselves. 18

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The fall of 1949 and we returned for the last time to the halls of B.H.S. lt didn't seem possible, but yet here we were - Seniors at last.

Our class officers were elected as follows: Leon Barnard-President, Louis Rome-Vice-President, Mary Magna-Secretary, and Armand Caldeira-Treasurer. At a later meeting our class colors, motto, and flower were chosen. Our Hower was to be the red carnation while our colors were green and gold and our motto ln ourselves our future Iies. Much tribute was paid to our outstanding soccer team who were runners-up for the state championship. Seniors on the team included: Captain Armand Caldeira, Scott Rome, and Dan Louro. On November 23, our varsity cheerleaders gave the student body their opportunity to pay their respect to the team by presenting a sports dance. The senior cheerleaders on the committee were Captain Lois Pinney, Joan Plaza, Marie Williams, Dot Prystula, Emily Machholz, and Catherine D'Addeo. Lois Pinney and Armand Caldeira were elected king and queen of sports. The faculty vs. varsity in a ghost basketball game was played off in the gym on December 9. The proceeds were for a worthy cause -- THE TATTLER. As part of the Christmas Assembly, members of the senior class presented a one act comedy under the direction of Miss Zabriskie. The cast included: Lillian Roth, Catherine D'Addeo, Nancy Cawte, Ted Harger, Bill Velhage, Armand Caldeira, and Paul Petersen. On January 20 a few more worthy seniors displayed their talent in a comedy, Why Shakespeare Wept written by Miss York. The seniors included: Isabelle Baldwin, Edward Gundersen, Armand Caldeira, Arthur Pappagallo, George Perry, Bill Lotz, Terry Chiarizia, and Gracemarie Harley. Other seniors included Ann Nicolle, Louis Rome and Danny Louro. These and the many memories of the Senior Banquet, Junior-Senior Prom, Class Night, and Graduation all make the history of our Senior year a pleasant one. LILLIAN ROTH 19
