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.
