FII1ilLlS'I THE WAY WE STARTED SOUTH WARD KINDERGARTEN 1942 On a bright autumn day in 1942, two groups of little darlings started out on their educational career. There were about 23 on the North Side and 20 on the South Side. As they have climbed the ladder of success, there are twelve of them left to justify that it isn't impossible to go thirteen years to the same school. WE F NI E Y I SH D Back row Cleft to right!

SEIIIDB BLESS iIIS'I'DilY AS FRESHMEN ........ 'E THE CLASS OF '55 embarked upon our beginning years in B.B.H.S. with an enrollment of eighty-eight. There were such things as algebra, general science, yells, and back bends to be mastered. The officers for the year were Davey Davis, president, Ronny Wachter, vice president, Joan Ray, secretary, Donna Hyatt, trea- surer, and Karen Russell, sergeant at arms. Mrs. Russell was our sponsor. THEN SOPHOMORES ........ WE BEGAN SCHOOL a little wiser than the year before. Our officers this year were Ronny Wachter, president, Gale Ann Penn, vice president, David Ely, secretary, and Donna Millsap, treasurer. Parties, concerts, lyceums and ball games filled our spare time to complete a successful year. Our sponsors were Miss Shields and Mr. Korte. ON BECOMING JUNIORS ........ WE CHOSE Ronny Wachter as president, Marilyn Parr as vice president, Nancy Owen as secretary, and Davey Davis as treasurer. We sponsored the annual lyceum programs. On November 17 and 18 we presented our class play, Seven- teenth Summerf' Those juniors not in the band sold concessions at the football games. A snowy May lst spotlighted a very successful Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom. Our sponsors were Miss Shields and Miss Hoefener. IN THE END ........ THE CLASS OF '55 has improved considerably in the knowledge of sci- ences, arts, and general reasoning. Now we are making plans for the future rather than planning a high school party or electing a class president. A very colorful year came to a close under the guidance of Donna Millsap, our class president, Charles Collicott, our vice president, Louise Eastwood, the class secretary, Neil Carroll, our treasurer, and Mr. Cupl, our sponsor.
