CLASS HISTORY OUT OF THE Log-book of the Class of '48 we find 20 eager faces, scrubbed from stem to stern, to start their career at B. H. S. Out of those there are seven of us left. Starting in the first grade were Betty Ann Jacobson, Colleen Dickinson, Patricia Johnson, Barbara Gassner, Merle Park, Warren Bauder and Robert Brown. Our first great achievement was the production of our Minnie and Mickey Mouse play. Coming up the gang plank to join us in the second grade was Dolores Dunn, Dean Klockenteger, and Leonard Johnson. Rolling along, we picked up Luella Barber and Donald Pavel in the third grade and Norma Wachs in the fifth. High lighting the end of our grade school was a very impressive Christmas play. Getting up steam toward high school we were joined in the seventh grade by Gerald Plautz and in the eighth grade by Barbara Mangus. We turned our atten- tion to money making for our high school events. Setting sail into high school we, as green freshmen, were initiated by our very superior sophomores. Seven new students came on board for the high school voy- age. They were Vernetta Korbelik, Georgia Van Hoveln, Darlene Jacober, Wilbur Lengel, Marlin Eberhart, Kenneth Bishop and Merlyn Dickson. Wilbur Lengel was the only freshman that lettered in football. Four seaworthy members joined us in our sophomore year. They were Patricia Crouse, June Drager, Betty Taylor, and Douglas Hillman. Other than having the privilege of serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet, it was a highly athletic year. Marlin Eberhart, Leonard Johnson, Donald Pavel and Wilbur Lengel lettered in football. Donald Pavel lettered in basketball. Marlin Eberhart, Wilbur Lengel and Douglas Hillman lettered in track. Coming into our junior year we were joined by Bernice Gross, Elaine Merritt and Leon Ardueser. Our year was very successful with the presentation of our play, Where's Laurie? and our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Outstanding in sports were Marlin Eberhart, Dean Klockenteger, Donald Pavel, Wilbur Lengel and Doug- las Hillman. Gloria Kirby, Edward Hatcher, and Charles Miller completed the crew. Our play, Love Is Too Much Trouble, was a great success. Graduation exercises were plan- ned and also a sneak day trip. Thus ended our high school days and, Tonight We Launch, Where Shall We Anchor? 4440-
