THERE WERE FOUR CLASSES Sing me a song of high school days, Now tell me which is best: Freshman or Sophomore or Junior year, Does the Senior year beat the rest? That the traditional rivalry among classes goes on whether the year is T877 or T952 is shown by these lines from the T914 yearbook. Since the early days of B.H .S . the classes have been waging friendly war in a contest for supremacy. No one ever wins, but the battle of the egotists goes on year after year. Today our Homecoming and Booster Carnival campaigns perpetuate this rivalry. In years past an annual affair was the flag rush, a contest among the classes which occasionally ended in a free-for-all with rotten tomatoes thrown in for good measure. Each class had yells, mottoes, and colors. The class of 'l4's colors were maroon and white and their yell was, Loop the Loopl Leap the gapl Fourteen's coming, get off the map! The motto for the class of '25 was Don't be a crank, be a self starter. Interclass competition in athletics brought another show of spirit. Most of the time, then as now, classes worked together. They sympothized with one another through the agonies of study and classes. The curriculum in T912 included Caesar, Zoology, Botany, Cicero, Virgil, German, French, Solid Geometry, Sociology, and for seniors there was asemester course in Pedagogy. The only subjects which would not now be considered a part of our college preparatory course were Manual Training and one semester of Agriculture . An above ninety average placed a student on the honor roll, and there were twenty three col leges and universities that B.H .S . graduates could enter without taking entrance examinations. The Class of l9l2 gathered vital statistics to prove thatgetting an education is a tiresome task. They reckoned that during the previous four years, each senior had taken approximately three hun- dred steps between each class. This totaled seven blocks each week or eighty five miles a year. Their choice for president was Teddy Roosevelt-first and last, and they were firmly united on the stand that women should not vote. In l9l8there were forty seven alumni fighting in the war over there. The iunior-senior banquet dates back to the l800's although the prom was a 20th. century addition. Each year the senior play was a spectacular event with titles ranging from Come Out of the Kitchen in T926 to The Tightwad in l93O. Our own choice for president is not so unan- imous, and our play is Our Miss Brooks. But the banquet, the prom, the interclass activities are enjoyed as fully as theywere then. lt's been thatway ever since the firstgreen freshmen walked into the school and said, We are the class of '77.

'52-WAV AHEAD After four years of tough sledding, the seniors leave high school taking with them a certain breath of individuality which will never be found there again. Of course, we have not always been the picture of dignity and maturity. The title of our Variety Show presentation, Funny Business, which we put on as freshmen, proves this. During this year we chose Nancy Calder and Gene Rowe as our candidates for the football king and queen, and .lack Shattuck and Nancy Peterson for the Booster Carnival. And then we were silly sophomores! This was the year that Community Unit School District lO0 was formed and Mr. McAllister become our new principal. Our class chose Bev Beecham as our candidate for the football queen. Bonnie Luckow and Harold Anderson represented us in the Booster Carnival . Upper-classmen now, and feeling very proudl First we chose our class rings and as our colors, we agreed on maroon and white. Bonnie James and Don Fidder walked off with the football king and queen titles during Pep Week. The name of our float was, We'll Shock Woodstock . Our Christmas decorations, which won first prize, made the main stairway look like Santa's Workshop . As candidates for the Booster Carnival king and queen we chose Ray DeWane and Pat James . For the theme of the prom and banquetwe chose Romance of the Seas . Our senior candidates for the Homecoming king and queen, Barbara Berry and Charles Cunningham, won, thereby starting off our year successfully. We decorated the front hallway at Christmas with a scene portraying a small girl praying for peace. Now our four years of high school have been completed. They have rewarded the class of 52 with countless memories and have prepared us well for many varied ways of life.
