Senior Class SIXTY-SEVEN eager new faces adorned the halls of BHS that day in early September of 1944. They were to become the Senior Class of ’48 and leave a memorable im- pression on that institution of higher learning. As sponsors to guide them through that first strange year they chose Mr. Mercer and Mrs. Miles. From among their own classmates came leaders of another sort: Allen Capper as President, Charma Clift as Vice President, Patricia Kastler as Secretary, Edgar Lassen as Treasurer, and Eleanor Ostwald as Student Representative. They were not looking so eager on initiation day as they knelt before the Seniors, the girls in gunny sacks and rubbers, the boys in turkish towels and sweaters, and shouted, “O, Highly Honored Seniors.” However, the kind Sen- iors made them feel somewhat better by treating them to a watermelon feast at the end of the day. Their traditionally green and white float took third prize and all in all they spent a most interesting year. Sixty of those freshmen came back to the old halls as sophomores that next year. Class officers included: President, Raymond Meininger; Vice-President, Leland Chris- tensen; Secretary, Pat McCarty; Treasurer, Evan Copley; Student Representative, Charma Clift; Sponsors, Mr. Schweers and Mrs. Wilkerson. Their Homecoming float won first prize that year as they welcomed servicemen alumni home from World War II. This original class held the traditional hayride in the spring instead of fall, and spring also found them decorating for the Senior’s Baccalaureate and Commencement. As for all Juniors, the next year was a busy, happy one. Forty-nine classmates chose their officers, with Lloyd Lorensen at their head, Vice-President was Dale Stinton; Secretary, Patricia Kastler; Treasurer, Barbara Lewis; Student Representative, Evan Cop- ley. Mr. Richards and Mrs. Wilkerson were Sponsors. Their Homecoming Float again took first prize as did their interclass play. During the fall they sold hot-dogs, pop and cof- fee at the football games in an endeavor to raise much needed money. They presented a three-act mysteiy drama entited, “The Green Light,” which was a great success, as was the Prom and Banquet which they held in honor of the Seniors. This annual May event was held at the Carroll Hotel and in Central Gym, with Eloise Starr acting chairman, while they wished the Seniors, “Aloha.” And now we come to the fateful year of all high school students. Forty-eight digni- fied Seniors started this year off with a bang as they heard “O, Highly Honored Seniors” shouted to them. They set a record yet to be beaten by bringing down first prize for the third time on their Homecoming Float. The ever beautiful “Nativity” with Marjorie Sau- erbreit as Mary and Dale Stinton as Joseph brightened their Christmas season. They chose Pat McCarty and Eloise Starr to be co-editors of this annual. A carnation is their class flower, blue and silver their colors and “A Winner Never Quits; A Quitter Never Wins,” is their motto. As Seniors they were honored on many occasions among them the Junior- Senior Prom and Banquet. A very happy year sped by until at last they said “So Long” to old Brush High with its memories, both happy and sad, and a heartfelt “’Ilianks” to facul- ty .and parents for helping them to become Senior s
