SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of '45 B.H.S. could have sent out announcements which read something like this, Bonesteel High School announces the arrival of twenty-one bouncing, healthy childreng weight- approximately 2625 lbs. and 145 ounces, color of hair and eyes-assorted, and all named Fresh- man. Their parents called them Wayne Baldwin, Eldon Dvorak, Dana Blakkolb, Marvin Perlenfein, Joyce Fisher, Velma Pepper, Dick Sage, Arleta Jons, Melvin Fiscus, Malvern Jons, Melvin Schroe- der, Bob Halverson, Denny Sieler, Norma Taylor, Joan Reynolds, Donald Sondgeroth, Josephine An- drews, Hazel Chambers, Mary June Bailey, Dorothy Schultz, and Frankie Carsten. Because the seniors were so proud of the new additions to B.H.S., they spent two whole days en- tertaining the freshmen. This was called initiation, In order that the freshman would know that this was in their honor, the girls wore men's pajamas and the boys looked delicately charm- ing in ladies' night gowns. ' . D 1 The freshmen spent a year filled with social gaiety, including three parties at the homes of Doro- thv Schultz, Norma Taylor, and Velma Pepper. They also attended a picnic at uotraits' Forty. This energetic class ran out of activities so to take up their excess energy they produced the play, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, directed by Miss button, class sponsor. There are a few incidents which occurred that year that many have forgotten. Here are just a few to refresh your memory. To begin, everyone knows that Denny S. is a Romeo! But did you know that his first Juliet was Dorothy Schultz? We all remember that Schultz party, don't you, Denny? At this time t'Pete had not yet discovered the attraction of a prospective lawyer. In fact, Zorb1e was escorting her home! Eldon was still studying! Well here's the sophomore year. It was at this time that 'tZuke abondoned his wolfish ways and centered his attentions wholly upon Catherine Gingery. This seemed to inspire Dana B. and Glenn Fisher, for they too soon became a steady twosome. Enough for the more serious romances-now we turn to something lighter-Herby and Velma. Theirs was one that sparked and flickered and then slowly died away. At the beginning of the sophomore year, three members dropped from the class. They were Josephine Andrews, Hazel Chambers, and Dorothy Schultz. At the end of the first semester, Don- ald Sondgeroth left to attend school in Missouri. To relieve boredom, the class went on several roller skating parties and one hike, accompanied by V. Grosshuesch, sponsor. Well, as we finished our sophomore year, Eldon was still studying! ' The junior year began with the addition of Carmen Roach to the class roll. This year' was 'filled with numerous activities, the first of which was the class play, The Campbells are Coming, which started off the year with a bang! Of course this year would not have been Complete if it hadn't been for a few disruptions from school work so there were parties at the homes of Carmen Roach, Eldon Dvorak, Bob Halverson, Norma Taylor, and Joyce Fisher. Again a roller skating party was enjoyed by the class. The next striking adventure was the junior-senior banquet, which carried the Pirate theme. Mrs. Foreman was the privileged class sponsor. Maybe these developments in our junior year haven't been forgotten, but anyway- This year was different. Eldon had made a startling new discovery-GIRLS! It all began in Na- per and has continued its way all through Gregory County. It was at this time, too, that Bob began to realize that his favorite color was Red They were seen everywhere together and still are. Eldon Grosshuesch joined our little group this for he was a bachelor. Our new member in the class was rushed by all Something hard for anyone to believe now is other girls existed in this world. What a change year and was approved, especially by the girls, the boys. Carmen was truly the belle of B.H.S. that Dick, during this year, actually believed that he has made! Last but not least came our senior year. Our class was joined by Doris Amsey. The fun of the year began with initiating the freshies. They have all become our friends again we hope. 7 On the 15th of October, the seniors of '49 started for the Black Hills on their Sneak Day. After spending two days sightseeing, they journeyed back via Custer and Martin. Hallowe'en night Dana Blakkolb had a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Whidden. A roller skating party at Bass Beach was also held. Mary June Bailey dropped from the class in the The senior class play, And Came ihe Spring, was held at the home of Eldon Dvorak. second semester. given on April 29. After the play a party was The junior class honored the seniors at a banquet on May 3rd. Forty-niners was the theme used throughout the decorations.
