History Class of June 1955 September 4, 1951 was just another day in the lives of many, but for a group of 240 students it was the beginning of a four-year course of learning in Bowen, a school that will always bring pleasant memories to those who have attended it. As freshies we learned many important facts. Lockers could be purchased with steam heat and mousetraps, elevator passes were scarce. After we discovered the truth, we thought the seniors were pretty mean, but someone had to initiate us. As time progressed and we became sopho- mores and juniors, we met new friends and started to take part in many of the school activi- ties. These years brought hard work for those striving to become members of the National Honor Society. Before we knew it, our senior year had arrived, starting a round of activities. Our first escapade was Senior Sloppy Day. It was our contribution to a wonderful April Fools Day, however we made up for it by having Senior Dress Up Day, on April 20th. That was the day we were measured for caps and gowns. Perhaps the most memorable day in our lives was the Senior prom, held on June 3rd, at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. We danced to the unfor- gettable tune, Stairway to the Stars , the theme of our prom. Graduation day finally arrived and as we walked down the aisle to the strains of the Recessional, carrying with us the knowledge we had acquired at Bowen, we entered the world, each one going to his chosen walk of life.
