This was the year when several girls took shop, the boys won first place in track, consolation in basketball, and the Junior High Pep Club gave a banquet for the Junior High athletes. A picnic was held in the spring at Switzer’s grove. The next year found the Class of ’46 still pushing along on the path to higher learning. A class party was held in the old gym and many participated in the Christmas Play. The 1 46 Ward or Most of the students from the country joined the class in ’43 making a total of ninety. It was also in this year when we struggled through, ah, yes! General Science. Callaway Grove reverberated with the yells and cries of these little “freshies” when they had a picnic there. 1 he year of ’44 saw such activities of the class of ’46. now sophomores, as the All School Play and some dissecting in Biology. We must have been “bad little kids’’ that year because we didn't get to have a party 19

CLASS HISTORY (Continued) or a picnic. We, as clowns, hula girls, fortune tellers, and all the circus people, served at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Miss Beal and Mr. Journey were the sponsors, with the following officers directing activities: President, Ona Mae Talbot; Vice-President, Wayne Brewer; Secretary, Peggy Tennant; Treasurer, Bill Doty; Sergeant-at-Arms, Phillip Spanel. At last, we were upperclassmen. We were Juniors! A fantastic murder mystery was witnessed in the auditorium in the Junior Play, The Spider.” With Mrs. Miller’s help we sold hot dogs and coffee at the football games. All this effort enabled us to invite the Seniors to the Platter Club” for a banquet and prom. The B Club mem- bers extended invitations and traveled to New Helena in the bus for a picnic. As a result of water fights, some returned home swathed in blankets. The juniors helped the Class of '45 in their graduation. Our helpful sponsors this year were C. W. Rounds and Mrs. Miller. The officers were: President, Jackie Adams; Vice-President, Gerald Stinehagen; Secretary, Phillip Spanel; Treasurer, Frances Smith: Sergeant-at-Arms, Oma Hawk. All through its school years the Class of ’46 has been well represented in athletics, music, and dramatics. Now as seniors, we are making plans for the future, but not one of the 66 in the graduating class will forget the memories of good old B. B. H. S. ★ ★ ★ CLASS WILL We, the seniors, being in sound state both mentally and physically and having given deep thought to our treasured rights which we now bequeath to our fellow sufferers, the underclassmen, do here now stamp our foot and sign our hand to this the last will and testament of the sober and steady seniors of ’46: I, Curtis Anderson, leave my “gift of gab” and my smooth line to Dick Cox. I, Vivian Barrett, leave my quiet ways to Gwen Chase—My! Things are going to be different at the Chase’s. I, Ramona Beavers, leave you all” to take up my cottage by the sea, my cats, the ability to write poetry. I, Jack Bence, leave my dimples to help win female worshippers to James Mayo. We, Lura Lee Best, Chard Holcomb, and Chard Kennedy leave our influence with the coke man and our winning smiles at the check stand to next year’s Indian staff. I, Curly Woofers, leave my red-inked” curls to Floyd Ahl. I, Lloyd Dye, leave my car to Howard so that he can carry on the family tradition. I, Carol Higgins, leave my sweet and winning ways to Jo Moran. I, Bill Doty, hate to leave so I’m taking a post-grad course. We, Dolores Gunther, Oma Hawk, Clara Belle Hodgin, Ruby Mattox, Betty Myers, and Verla Morgan, leave our receipts from the jewelry store to any girl who would like to have what we have—whee! Only requirement—she’ll have to furnish her own man! I, Charlie Longfellow, leave my ability to drive a car to anyone who wants to risk it. I, Georgia Edwards, keep my little black book for future reference, but if you come around I might be able to arrange it. We. Glen Linder and Jack Adams, leave our Marys” to a year of “old maidhood”— we hope! I, Willa Huffaker, leave my artistic ability to Marg Hicks, so that she may continue my work of defacing the American Observer. 20 The 1946 Warrior
