THE LOG OF THE CLASS OF 1961 vT c%. • ' ■ !0 ' •-id f ' A JUj. »( tlAY FilVtr Our voyage began in September, 1958, when we boarded tbe GOOD SHIP B.H.S. for a three-year journey to the land of FUTURE. As SOPHOMORES we were registered as third-class passengers and, as such, had a difficult time finding our cabins and adjusting to the bewildering routine of the ship. After the voyage had gotten underway, we were called on deck to elect the ship’s officers; Bill McNevin, Captain; Bill Cuff, First Mate; Suzanne Buker, Uady of the Log; Bill McNally, Purser. The first year of our voyage was highlighted by the SOPHOMORE SOCIAL. The music of the Allenaires fitted in beautifully with the theme of the Social, MOON- LIGHT SERENADE. We really “rocked the boat”; everyone had a fabulous time, proving that our Social was a huge success. In May all good shipmates assembled for the annual MUSIC FESTIVAL presented by the B.H.S. Songbirds, or rather Seagulls, including the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, and the Choir. The Band and the Orchestra offered some excellent music for an evening of pleasure. Our first year was rapidly coming to a close, and we looked forward to our voyage as JUNIORS. In September, 1959, we traveled as second-class passengers and were now well-adjusted to the flawless routine of nautical life. We were not out of port long when a mutiny brought about the election of new officers; Bill McNally, Captain; Lois Morrison, First Mate; Sue Buker, Lady of the Log; Don Miller, Purser. One of the clubs on board, the Thespians, presented THE DOUBLE DOOR, an exciting mystery in which several of our shipmates displayed sup erb acting ability. In order to make up a shortage in the PURSERY, we held a sea biscuit sale. To keep the ship sailing smoothly, we added new members to our cheerleading squad. All passengers turned out for the spirited TEACHERS VS. VARSITY basket- ball game which, although the teachers put up a good fight, the varsity won by a score of 57-51. We were very proud when twelve of our shipmates were initiated into the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY. On April 29 we docked at an exotic island for our big social event of the year, the JUNIOR PROM. The music of Earl Hannafin and his orchestra filled the air indicating that this would certainly be SOME EN- CHANTED EVENING. On our way back to the ship we held our After-Prom-Party at HUGO’S LIGHT- HOUSE to put the finishing touches on a never-to-be-forgotten evening. On June 26, upon encountering VACATION ISLAND H, we all received two months’ shore leave which we gratefully accepted. In September, 1960, we again found ourselves on the high seas for the last year of our voyage aboard the GOOD SHIP B. H. S. This year, most of us travelled first-class, except for those who did not have enough credits. Because of a serious mishap on board, we elected officers who were Jimmy Dunn, Captain; Lois Mor- rison, First Mate; Sue Buker, Lady of the Log; and Don Miller, Purser. At the start of our voyage, there was a great deal of commotion because of the distribution of class pictures which had been taken on Vacation Island 11. In October we all assembled to view a three-act play called “Hay Fever,” presented by our famous Thespians. Our football season ended on November 24, when we played Milton in our annual and colorful Thanksgiving game. Our cheerleaders, with the help of the newly estab- lished Pep Club, gave spirited support to our hard-playing shipmates. All shipmates assembled on December 22 to attend the annual Christmas Assembly presented by 2A f .,1 ■ THE GOOD SHIP BHS

the Ship’s Choir and Glee Clubs. That evening all first-class passengers joined to- gether to celebrate the Christmas season at the Senior Christmas Party. Everyone had a fabulous time, and it was a nigbt that will be long remembered. On Student Government Day, after a thrilling campaign, we chose a worthy ship- mate to represent the GOOD SHIP B. H. S. at the State House. It was attended and enjoyed by all tbe passengers. At the winter sports assembly, many of our shipmates were the happy recipients of awards for their athletic activities. On April 7 our Senior Show, which was written, r directed, and produced by our first-class shipmates, was presented as the crowning dramatic achievement of the year. At our next event, the Music Festival, the Glee j,, Hy-v ' , Clubs and Choir did an exceptional job on this, the last school function for the first-class passengers. We really became excited when our yearbooks arrived, and we passed around and signed them. When we held our Senior Reception many of us felt that it was the most beautiful event shipside. It was truly a wonderful evening to climax our three years aboard the GOOD SHIP B. H. S. As the Spring Awards assembly came around, we realized with mixed emotions that a few days of our voyage remained. At this assembly many of our outstanding ship- mates were honored with awards for their scholastic and athletic achievements. On June 11 we gathered at Hollis Field for the graduation exercises of the Class of 1961. We were gay, but at the same time saddened, for we were thinking of all the wonderful events and people that we were leaving behind on the GOOD SHIP B. H. S. As we disembarked, all turned to take one last look at tbe GOOD SHIP B. H. S. which had so faithfully watched over us and guided us on our three-year journey to the Island of the Future.
