a7%e 'tyeote, ?tt IReviecv One bright September morning about four years ago, a group of bewildered freshmen straggled across the alley into the halls of B. T II. S. They gazed in awe at the stately upperclassmen. After a short period, they became acclimated and in good parliamentary manner elected Jack Hooper, president; Dwight Yockey, vice-president; Edna I’robus secretary; and Jack Plummer, Athletic Board of Control Member. At the Homecoming dance, their charming Queen Attendant was Mary Lou Redman. They became the Senior Class of 11)47 and during the years were well represented in sports, on the honor roll, and in clubs. In our sophomore year we chose as our class officers Mary Lou Redman, president; Jack Plummer, vice-president; Ted Petersen, secretary-treasurer; and Jack Hooper, Athletic Board of Control Member Louise Hodam was our Homecoming Queen Attendant. As our junior year rolled around we enjoyed the privileges and dignity of upperclassmen. To guide us we chose Dwight Yockey as president Dale Warren as vice-president, Jack Hooper as secretary-treasurer, and “Jiggs” Strater as Athletic Board of Control Member. Margaret Reinhart looked lovely as the attendant to the Homecoming Queen. Our play—“Let ‘Er Co Gallagher”—was a huge success. In April we entertained the seniors with a formal dance in a Stardust setting. Finally we came to our last year in high school. Dale Warren, Jack Plummer and Barbara Fair were elected as president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Jack Hooper and Dwight Yockey were co-captains of the football team Dwight received (lie additional honor of being named on the all-state football honorable mention list. Our candidate—Sally Fairbanks—was chosen Homecoming Queen and a very lovely queen she was all dressed in white. Her escorts were the co-captains, who crowned her with an attractive diadem of baby mums. Kenny Eckstein was chosen honorary basketball captain at the close of Ihe season. Our cheerleaders, Barb Fair, Florence Scott, and Wilma Gulliford fanned the flame of school loyalty to a high pitch and kept it there all during the sports season. Our play, “GOING PLACES, ’ a farce about college life was enjoyed by an appreciative community. The year began to wane and we were looking forward to Baccalaureate and Commencement—May 25 and 28. Passing the rigors of senior exams was made easier by the memory of the lovely formal party given us by the juniors. And now our final year at B. T. II. S. is finished. Our school days are only memories which we share with others of our classmates.
