SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Norma Nokleby, Dick Whitaker, Craig Johnson, Joan Vergin. CLASS MEMORIES The year 1952 is a memorable one in the lives of the graduating class of 1955. For this was the year we began our four years of high school. In 1952, as freshmen, we elected Roger Logan and Pat Dolan to represent our class as banner bearers at the Homecoming festivities. Two of the high- lights of our freshman year were our visits to the Ford gar age and to the REA plant. As sophomores, we served the juniors and seniors at the annual Junior - Senior Banquet. The girls, dressed in pastel skirts and peasant blouses, and the boys, with their berets helped to carry out the theme of Springtime in Paris. Field trips in biology were also a part of our sophomore year. The next year we, as juniors, were hosts to the seniors at the Junior-Sen- ior Banquet. Stardust was the theme and was carried out down to the smallest detail. Norma Nokleby, our president that year, did a grand job as Mistress of Ceremonies. We selected our class rings and anxiously awaited their ar- rival. Our Junior Class Play was Young Lincoln, and the cast did a fine job. B. H. S. was represented at Girls' State by Lorna Underthun and at Boys' State by Pat Dolan. And then came our long-awaited senior year! Queen Norma and King Pat reigned over the 1955 Homecoming. The attendants were Sharon Syverson, Verna Skarsten, Joan Vergin, Karen Bartz, Dick Whitaker, Craig Johnson, Lump Bronniche, and Harlan Danner. Our Senior Class Piay, The Little Minister, was a big success. During our senior year, some of the boys sud- denly took an interest in commercial sign painting. Their interest, however, was short-lived. The day of graduation was nearing. The question was: What am I going to do after graduation? Many of the seniors have their plans made, and those who don't will know within a year or two. But no matter what they plan to do in life, the training they have received at B.H. S. will be a con- stant aid to them. We know the class of '55 will go forward, achieving their goals and making their lives successful in every way possible. 14
