-TH E BEE HIVE if Y f f 45520 ass is or By Jane Andry The Date: September, 1948. The Time: 8:30 in the morning. The Place: Behrman School Basement. And we, the 1952 graduating class of Behrman High School were the actors. We ntunbered one hundred and twenty-four green kids fresh out of grammar school, entering into a land of bewilderment-:1 land in which we knew no one except a few of our grammar school pals, who were just as amazed as we. How frightened lwemall were! We felt so straznge and new that if one had given us half the chance we would have run to our mothers. And how conspicuous we were! We felt as if we had ten arms and legs and two heads. And we might have had, the way the other students smiled pityingly at us and could tell at a minutefs notice that we were freshmen. How clumsy we were! How did we know we were going up the wrong steps? Oh, the arrows tell us so. Did someone say we'd serve detention for drinking at the fountains between classes? Are you serious? Say, what is detention anyway? Where's Room 216? Oops-wrong floor. Will we ever remember what period this is? Half hour for lunch? We'1l get indigestion! Oh gosh, we'll never get used to this routine. Oh, how we wish we were taking it easy in eighth grade right now. But we did get used to it. And we also got past Freshman Day with flying colors. What fun it was to wear pajamas to the football game! Seniors arenit so bad after all. But just wait 'til we're seniors, we thought. Our poor freshmen! V Our freshmen year wasn't all play however, there was work to be done, plenty of it. Oh that algebra! And would we ever pass Civics? But with a little effort we were again in the auditorium in September, '49, waiting for our schedule for the coming sophomore year. But as we looked around we didn see as many faces, some were missing. In our sophomore year we won the hon- ors on field day and felt very proud. On top of that, the same day, a sophomore was voted Miss Queen Bee . Though the going was not as tough as in our freshman year, there were -still many pitfalls and some of us did not make the grade. But most of us did, and at the end of our second year w'e thought, Gee, we're already half way. In our junior year we felt quite sure of ourselves. Things looked much brighter. We walked through the halls with assurance and smiled at the clumsy, frightened freshmen. We were in for good now, we thought. How could any- thing possibly happen to us now? But as we progressed further into the school year a lot of surprising things did happen, and many of us founnd our Junior year the hardest one of all. Our Class, you might say, made history this year, for it was we who in- augurated the first Junwior-Senior Prom. How proud we were when it proved successful! And again this year we ran off with the honors on field day. Oh, but we were happy. Truly, our c1ass,las every graduating class, deserves! ,a chap- ter in the history of Behrmafn High School! It seems Freshman Day was just yesterday and here already it is May. To think we were once freshmen who were actually scared of this immense building. Scared of it? Why welove it. In leaving Behrman, we think not only of the fun we've had and of those long hoLu's of studying, but we think of the many wonderful friends. We think of the problems we'Ve had and how we were taught to solve those problems ourselvesg and of the many, many difficul- ties we encounli'-ered and how we were guided to cope with those difficulties. We have been taught endurance, patience, and determination. We shall always look back on our days in Behrman High as the happiest of our lives-wonderful, happy days that we shall never forget.
