Schuh, Remark, Clark, Larimore. Upon entering high school, not being familiar with high school routine, we were vigorously “ha-ha’d” for several weeks until we became accustomed to the procedure. We elected Herb Schuh, president; Bill Hendrix, vice-president; Barbara Camp, secretary, and Bob Scott, member of athletic board of control. In ’38, we entered our Sophomore year with much more confidence. The officers elected were: Earl Poundstone, president; Fred Evans, vice-president; Paul Morgan, secretary, and Wilmer Foran, athletic board of control member. Resolving to accomplish something better, we entered school as .juniors in ’39. As officers, the class elected Mildred Marker, president; Earl Poundstone, vice-president; Evelyn Lamkin, secretary, and Bob Scott, athletic board of control member. The Junior Class was proud to have many participants in football, basketball, and band. Our class presented the Junior Class play, “Sunbonnet Jane of Sycamore Lane,” on November 14. We worked very hard preparing it and were awarded for our efforts by having a record crowd. The juniors, at the request of the seniors, attended the ghost-haunted cornfield arranged in the gym on Halloween. Later in the year, the juniors were hosts and hostesses at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The scheme displayed the romanticism of the regular Hawaiian beach. Page Twelve

...SOPHOMORES When we first entered B. T. H. S. in the fall of ’38, we considered ourselves sophisticated, but soon we found that our upper classmen thought we were just like all other freshmen, “green.” After we had missed a few classes, we settled down and began to feel at home. We selected as our class officers the following: Bob Loudenback, president; Mary Morgan, vice-president; Nadine McKee, secretary; Bob Burgess, athletic board of control member. We had several parties including a wiener roast. At the beginning of our second year we began to realize how much we had advanced since the previous year. We had class elections and as our officers we elected: Nadine McKee, president; Jack Funk, vice-president; Eleanor Ann Lefever, secretary; Bob Burgess, athletic board of control member. Our class was well represented in sports. Rosy Boyd helped manage the football team, and made his share of baskets in basketball. Bob Burgess made himself known by his touchdowns in football. Bob Loudenback played both basketball and football. We chose as our Homecoming Queen, Mary Foran. We worked faithfully on our float but were not able to win first prize as we did in our freshman year. Our class was represented among the cheer leaders by Nadine McKee and Margaret Slevin. In our first two years of high school we have enjoyed ourselves, and we hope we have contributed our part toward keeping B. T. H. S. the school we are proud of. First Row: Bruce, B.
