In the fall of 1939 the Bement Township High School marked a turning point in the lives of forty-eight boys and girls who were enrolled as freshmen. At first there was some difficulty in getting to the right class room at the right time, but, proving ourselves an unusually intelligent group, we soon overcame these troubles and could no longer be distinguished from our upper classmen. An example of our superior intelligence was revealed in the election of our class officers who were as follows: Betty Proctor, president; Lois Auth, vice-president; Billy Brown, secretary-treasurer; Paul Taylor, member of the athletic board of control. Our first gathering, outside of regular classes, was a wiener roast, held at the Forest Preserve Park. Later we enjoyed a party at the school building. With the help of Miss Swaim and Mr. Laird we labored long on our homecoming float, which proved a great success, and, as a satisfactory result, was awarded first prize. We elected Edna Raglan as our candidate for homecoming queen and were very proud when she was crowned. The members of the freshman class were also prominent in the various athletic and musical activities of the school. As the years pass and our knowledge is increased, we expect to show the Bement Township High School just how much talent, good sense, and good luck entered into the school with the freshmen of 1939.

...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.
