CLASS HISTORY We, the class of '55, finish our final year as one of the most outstanding classes ever to leave the halls of B. H. S. Glancing backward, we realize how fright- ened and lost we were as green freshmen in 1951. That was a memorable year for all of us. A few of the girls chose their occupations that year. We feel sure that the experience given them in Miss Dickens' Beauty Shop will be of great value to them in future years. Mrs. Salter and Mrs. Beveridge seemed awfully sad the spring of 1952. Perhaps they realized, even then, what a wonderful group was leaving their home rooms. The fall of 1952 found sixty-five sophomores, divided equally between Mrs. Beveridge and Mrs. Lawrence, back at B.H.S. Oh! ! What plans we had for that year. Most classes had found the sophomore year boring, but not us. That year proved to be one of the best for us. We feel quite confident in saying the class of '53 will never forget the beach party given them by the sophs, at Fort Macon State Park. But all good things must come to an end. So in 1953 we moved up to the Junior Class and began a year which we can never forget. Our junior year will be remembered, not only by the juniors, but by everyone who saw The Circus. Every banquet ever given at B. H. S. has been the best yet, and ours was no exception. The tent, the elephant, the fat lady, the trapeze, the animals, and the balloons all made up The Circus, and contributed toward making it a wonderful success. Without the tireless efforts of Mrs. Law- rence and Mrs. Noe, our dreams could never have been realized. So a million thanks to both of them! ! As bad as we hated for the year to end, it did, and another class took our home rooms. Forty-one of us moved up the hall to the Senior home rooms and proudly took our places as the Seniors of 1955. We had been a conceited class for three years, and now we had to prove our worth! ! All of us have tried to make 1955 an outstanding year for B. H. S. students. It has been a great year for all of us--one we will never forget. The sports, the activities, the Senior privileges, the Christ- mas program, the Senior play, and everything have been great. And now we leave!! We are leaving behind us a mass of achievements, and most important of all, a wonderful school. We'd liketothank the faculty--each and every member--for showing us the true value of an education and for making our school days not only days of learning, but days of pleasure.
