HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SENIOR CLASS The fall of ’35 marked an important event in the lives of about forty-five eager-eyed eighth grade graduates. We entered B. T. H. S. with a sincere desire to broaden our intellectual scope. From the first, we stepped into line and rapidly acquainted ourselves with our new surroundings. While juniors, we completed our first real undertaking, our play, “Here Comes Charley.” During this year, we were guests of the seniors at an April-fool party. The Junior play proceeds made possible the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. With the assistance of our advisers, we converted the gym into a nautical setting and invited our senior friends to board the S. S. Betohi to enjoy an evening of feasting and dancing. Several juniors were members of the band which placed in the National Band Contest at Elkhart, Indiana. At last we stepped into our places as seniors. We chose the following officers to direct our activities of this year: president, Kenneth Fristoe; vice president, Dale Kirkland; secretary and treasurer, Charlotte Le-fever; member of athletic board of control, Doit Fish. We were well represented in the various school activities—sports, music, dramatics, clubs, and social affairs. Now we must bid adieu to our high school career, taking our places in the workaday world and sharing in the many responsibilities for which our high school education has prepared us. Kenneth Fristoe “Fristy” “Worry kills men; I’m in the best of health.” Dale Kirkland “Chub” “Honor lies in honest toil.” Charlotte Lefever “Chalie” “High erected thoughts seated in a heart of courtesy.” Doit Fish “Fuzzy” “Don’t rush through this life—the next may be worse.” Edwina Auth “Weenie” “Why not have a lot of fun with a little study thrown in?” Enfer Evans “Enny” “None could be near and not made to feel, that a jolly classmate means a good deal.” Lois Hill “On their own merits modest minds are silent.” Edward Farrell “Squire” “If people have knowledge, let others light their candles by it.” —13—
