CHiaea Jtbtrrrg In the year of 46-47 a group of sixty high spirited Indians flooded the halls of B. B. H. S. The sponsor of the freshman class was Miss Thorpe. The freshmen officers were as follows: Janet Haverland, President; Sandra Daley, vice president; Fred West, secretary; Jack Hammond, treasurer; and Jim Arthur, sergeant-of-arms. One party and one picnic were the highlights of the year. As the year 47-47 rolled around it found the sophomore class a wee braver than the year before. We added a few more to our group making a total of seventy two. The officers chosen were Maurice “Chuff” Stinehagen, president; Beverly Ferguson, treasurer; and Bob Zeller as sergeant-of-arms. The class gave a party in honor of the freshmen and a picnic was held at New Helena. The sophomores served at the junior-senior banquet. When reaching the year of 48-49 our group of sixty four was quite a busy bunch of bees. It was a big year in our lives. For our officers we had Bert Myers as president; Beverly Ferguson as vice president; Arlene Armstrong as secretary and Cora Lee Chappell as our treasurer. The girls showed the boys how to run a class. The Junior Class sold refreshments at football games and gave a play to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet which was given in the spring. Also a class party was another point of the big year 48-49. Then for the year 49-50 the class officers were Ted McMillan, president; Andy Spanel, vice president; and Beverly Ferguson, Secretary and Treasurer. The first senior party was held on November 15. The class was dwindled to fifty nine for the last year of our high school days. Everyone will always remember the good old days in B. B. high. La Vone Connely and Betty Ritz
