However, we Juniors felt the real fiesta was during the long, hard hours of decorating, when ink-smeared hands and broken nails were the order of the day. After seeing the results, we all agreed it was worth the effort. The patios, colored lights and the wonderful music of Ray Sharbaugh made this prom a truly memorable one. Time slipped by and we awoke in September 1957 to find ourselves stately Seniors. In this , our final year at B. C. I. we elected as our officers: Iudy Ensbrenner-- President, David Shrock--Vice-President, Joanne Sinclair--Secretary, and Anna Mae Bretzin--Treasurer. Our activities this year have included the sponsoring of a Christmas Dance,, a bake sale, and the selling of Christmas Cards and magazines. As this goes to press, our long-dreamed of trip to our nation's capital is just around the corner, and we are all eagerly awaiting it, To be sure, each of us will go his separate way, but we shall always be united in memory as we think, not only of our Alma Mater, but the lessons we have learned and the friends we have made. Among these friends are the underclassmen to whom we wish luck and happiness in their future years at B. C. I.

C. I. One fateful autumn month, September 1954 , will always remain a vivid recollection, since it was then that we stood on the threshold of our high school careers. Although at first we were a little worried and bewildered, we soon conquered this feeling and became a very ambitious class. We organized and elected the following class officers: Helen Grimes --------- President Eileen Traveny ---- Vice-President Iudy Ensbrenner ------- Secretary Ioy Kaye Krise- -------- Treasurer Our first project was the annual bake sale which-netted us a profit exceeding that of any class before us. Happy, but not satisfied, we sponsored a skating party. With the accomplishment of these two projects , it began to look as thousgh our dream of a trip to Washington might someday become a reality. We chose blue and white as our class colors , and at long last received our class hats Our Freshman year pas sed quickly, and we soon became sophisticated Sophomores. Impressed with our new status , we organized quickly. We spent most of this year just getting used to Senior High and our new responsibilities. Under the leadership of David Shrock--President, Ioy Kaye Krise--Vice-President, Sally Witherow--Secretary, and Carol Leyo--Treasurer we held a very successful Christmas Dance. Another year passed and we were no longer Sophomores. September 1956 ushered in our Iunior year, which proved to be a very busy and happy one. To guide our class we selected our class rings and with their arrival came a new feeling of closeness to B. C. I. Our first activity for 1956 was a Halloween Dance with music by Dan's Ding Dongs. By sponsoring a Valentine's Dance and a Dungaree Drag, we increased our funds considerably.

Class Prophecy B. C. I. Senior High School's graduating class of 1958 held its first class reunion at Palm Beach, Florida, November 21 , 1963. The event, which lasted three days , was climaxed by a sumptuous banquet on the third day. Prepared by some of the former Home Economics Club members--Kathryn Peacock, Catherine Willey, June Shope , and Patricia Clarke , the centerpieces and menus were both beautiful and colorful. The meat was skillfully cut and packed by the well-known company of Miles , Morrison, and Richards, Inc. Among the newlyweds present were the former Irene Gates , Delphine Misouri, Patricia Cree , Ioan Daugherty, Eleanor Warholic, Iudy Shore , and Janet Spangle. The playground activities were supervised by Physical Education teachers , Sally Witherow, Helen Grimes , and David Buchanan. Assuming the roles of lifeguard since we had rented a private beach, were Robert Bott, Paul Johnston, Robert Pearce, Bill Reilly, and Frank Van Scoyoc. Of course, there were a few minor casualties , as there are at any event of this size. Our capable doctor, Paul Brungo, was assisted in his duties by our able-bodied nurses-- Iudy Belin, Dorothy Ecklund, Gwen Green, Barbara Greenawalt, Nancy Iunod, and Carol Leyo. No one had to worry about car trouble because we had several able mechanics on hand at all times, Zane Irwin, Melvin Dillen, Iack Dotts , and Charles Strong. By the way, it should be mentioned that most of the funds for this event were supplied by oil baron, Fredrick Rudnick, and steel king, Richard Shank. Many of our vegetables and other farm products were supplied by leading agriculturists Floyd Shaffer, and Iames Summers . A private air show was staged by the Air Force members from our class who had been granted temporary leave to come to the reunion, Ellis Dillen, Melvin Dixon, Ray Heverly, Elbert Moore, Dick Peterson, and Bob Sinclair. The guests were greatly honored by the presence of the first woman president of the United States, Helen M. Kovalsky, accompanied by her Social Secretary, Ianice Dillon. Her lawyer, Carole McGill also made the trip. We had a marvelous concert, presented on the second night by Dan Iohnston and Marlene Spaid, who were co-conductors. The entertainment took place in the Palm Beach Symphony Hall, designed and built by architects David Shrock and Franklin Marano. Sandra Swasing, Helen Wilkinson, Ioanne Sinclair, and Caroline Muhaw had the responsibility of contacting the former students of our Alma Mater. The telephone calls to our distant classmates were handled by long--distance operator, Sandra Kingston. -Placement. of all of us in hotels was arranged by movie star, Ioy Kaye Krisey leading educator, Ianice Boone, and model, Eileen Traveny. The 'show was greatly enhanced bythe antics of comedians Herb Donahue and Dick Hewitt. That wonderful equestrienne , Iudy Ensbrenner, also put on a performance. Since they knew quite a bit about these things , the business end of the affair was taken care of by these secretaries: Virginia Bartek, Julia Glass, Patricia Gogolla, Tressa Lender, Louise Mowchan, and Anna Mae Bretzin. As you can well imagine , the class eagerly renewed friendships and reminisced about the never-to-be-forgotten school days . Since this could never have been accom- plished Without a reunion, everyone enthusiastically agreed that the affair was a huge success .-
