CLASS HISTORY We the Seniors of B.H.S. stroll along Memory Lane. On both sides of the lane happy memories, of days gone by, are silently stealing by us. As we look back over the past four years we hear the voice of 1949 FRESHMEN — BATESVILLE HIGH This brings to memory our first days of high school when we stormed the halls of B.H.S. 84 strong. Teachers, classes, and the high school in general soon adjusted itself to us. We held our first class meeting and elected Danny Kile, president; Mary Simmermeyer, vice-president; Audrey Doyle, sec- retary; and Louie Enzinger, treasurer. Sponsor, Miss Wonning. Our first class party was held in the gym under the direction of Miss Wonning. We had a lot of fun playing games and eating refreshments. The Valentine program was given by the freshmen, and we presented “The Queen of Hearts.” Continuing along Memory Lane we hear the voice of 1950 SOPHOMORES — BATESVILLE HIGH Another year slips by us on Memory Lane, and we catch a glimpse of new leaders and new spon- sors (no, we didn’t wear the old ones out). Danny Kile, president; Bob Bush, vice-president; Bertha Dwenger, secretary-treasurer. And our class sponsors were Mr. Gardner and Miss Lisman. Our class party was held at the portable skating rink east of town. ZOOM! What was that?

1951 JUNIORS — BATESVILLE HIGH The elections this year honored again Danny Kile, president; Milt Baas, vice-president; Jean- ° ette Niedenthal, secretary, and Bertha Dwenger, treasurer, Our sponsors this year, Mr. Gardner and Joan Brown. Our first class party was held at the Harrison Skating Rink with fun and refreshments for all. This was our “Seventeenth Summer”. Al Boyer directed us to success with our Junior play pre- sented December 7, at the Memorial Building. Another important event was the Junior- Senior Prom, on May 23, in the Memorial Gym. Our theme was an Underwater Scene. Judy Perkins, Shirley Lee, and a talented magician from WLW- pro- vided our entertainment. At eleven o’clock a shower of balloons and confetti was cut loose from the ceiling of crepe-paper water. The last event of our Junior year was on May 24. We went to Clifty Falls for our class party by way of Trailway bus lines. Everyone had a wonderful time and came home tired but happy in time for the All-School Dance that evening. For the last short way down Memory Lane we hear the voice of 1952 SENIORS — BATESVILLE HIGH Our class meetings and elections began our last year in B.H.S. Dan Kile was elected president, Milt Baas, vice-president; Gloria Ferkenhoff, secretary; and Bertha Dwenger, treasurer. Mr. Gardner, assisted by Mr. Frushour was our sponsor. September 19, we had our initiation and party for the freshmen. Volly ball provided our enter- tainment and refreshments were served later in the high school gym. September 19, Mary Simmermeyer brought home honors from Versailles by being elected Queen of the Pumpkin Show. October 6, we chartered a bus to Bloomington and attended the Indiana-Pittsburgh football game. April 25 and 27, the Seniors presented “Marcheta” in the Memorial Building. Al Boyer again directed us to success. Our big event this year was being honored by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom—On May 15, it was held at the Memorial Gym. The All- School Dance followed on May 16, and they both were wonderful nights to remember always. The final steps along Memory Lane brings us past May 18, when we had our Baccalaureate and May 23, when Memory Lane ends and FUTURE begins, Graduation.
