Can you believe it? We are actually juniors in high school! That was the standard cry last fall when the 1952-53 session of B. C. H. S. opened. By the end of the first semester it was only to easy to believe. The classes were harder and teachers expected more of us Csometimes they got less.J During the first semester nothing happened to signify that we were really on the road to graduating. Time plodded slowly on after foot- ball season. In fact it ltimel almost came to a standstill. After Christmas holidays and after recuperating from mid-term exams, things be- gan to pick up. We chose our class rings twice. Yes, you may believe your eyes, twice! There was such a squabble over the first choice that we had to start all over again. We also began watching with interest how the seniors reacted to being seniors! Don't laugh! We were think- ing, Will we act that way next year? We had worried all year about the Junior- Senior Prom and banquet. Finally the time came when our worries became realities. Some IOR of the questions asked by the very intelligent UD food committee! How much does that five pound ham weigh? How much does it cost to buy a twenty cent box of napkins? Finally the big night arrived. Did the moon beam brightly on so famous an occasion? Did the stars shine romantically? No! lt rained. fMild understatementj It poured! The theme was Mother Goose. Catherine Earl, dressed as Mother Goose, served as Mistress of Ceremonies. After that momentus occasion came final exams. Horrible thought! ln passing, we will say a kind word for the poor souls who fell by the wayside while braving the Wilds of chem- istry, second year algebra, French, English, Am- erican History . . . At last came the class picnic. We shared our truck with the sophomores, who were bound for Little River State Park. At the park, oh well, we shall leave that to your imagination. We will say in closing that we are looking forward to being seniors after a summer's rest from being juniors. Too many cooks spoil the broth. but it A familiar scene is this, Morgan working on the camera that took so took all this and more too to fix the shoe man? Pictures fer the annual- for the old woman's many children at the Jr.-Sr. Prom.
