Secretary-Treasurer Rex Hopkins ............... Boy Representative Marjorie Lu East .......... Girl Representative Mr. Cloepfel and Mrs. Walker ......... Sponsors The highlights of the Freshmen Class were namely, a waste paper drive, in which they made a fine showing, and Santa Fe Trail Day when they had the privilege of leading the parade and had as their queen Doris James. Officers of the Sophomore year were: Joe Baublits ....................... President George Gruber ................ Vice President Wendel Reid .............. Secretary-Treasurer Jack Powell ............... Boy Representative Joanne Harvey ............ Girl Representative Mr. Moe ............................. Sponsor Joanne Harvey was selected as Santa Fe Trail Day queen and the Sophomore square dance team came in with a proud second place. Officers of the Junior Class were: Bob Randolph ....................... President Mary Mae Ebert ................ Vice President Tommy Moe .......................... Secretary Don Shannon ........................ Treasurer George Gruber ............. Boy Representative Wendel Reid .............. Girl Representative Coach Wild and Mrs. Guthrie ....... Sponsors The Junior year will always be remember- ed by the Seniors of ’47 as one of the best in high school. It was in this year that they presented a beautiful prom which had as its theme “Deep Purple.” A banquet preceding the prom was held at the Presbyterian Parish House. The class also presented a lively play entitled “Every Family Has One.” In the Santa Fe Trail Day competition the Junior’s square d'ncc team again scored a victory by winning first place. Shirley Johnson reigned as queen. Climaxing the year was a picnic at Holbrook Lake. Senior Class officers for 1947: Jack Powell ........... Joe Baublits .......... Shirley Johnson ....... John E. Freed ......... Bob Randolph .......... Wendel Oxford ......... Miss Grace and Mr. Moe ......... President .... Vice President ......... Secretary ......... Treasurer Boy Representative Girl Representative .......... Sponsors The Seniors began their busy year by presenting the Homecoming dance in November. The gymnasium was very appropriately decorated in the school colors, blue and white, honoring the BCHS Alumni. Next on the agenda was the Senior play, “Out of the Frying Pan,” presented April 7, at the high school under the direction of Miss Maxine Millikin. The play was very successful. For Santa Fe Trail Day queen, Joanne Harvey was chosen and the Senior wagon placed second in the parade. Many of the prizes of the day were given to Seniors. Climaxing the year was a wonderful trip to Manitou Springs, Colo. The traditional Sneak Day was made two days and thus the class left on Monday, May 26, and returned May 27, just in time to graduate on May 29. The graduates numbered about 48 with 11 G. I.’s receiving their diplomas at the end of the first semester and four with the 1947 Senior class.

Forty-three of them were girls and the other forty-nine were boys. Their officers were: Ronald Jerman, President; George Powel’, Vice President; Christine Dillow, Secy.-Treas.; Robert Stevens, Boy Rep.; Joyce Taliaferro, Girl Rep.; Miss Deemer and Mr. Beede, class sponsors. Their biggest event for this year was the dance they sponsored, which was in February. Barbara Fyffe was their Santa Fe Trail Day Queen. SOPHOMORE The year of ’45-’46 they enrolled again with ninety-two. Forty-two girls and fifty boys. Their officers for this year were: Mahlon Elliott, President; Eyelene Marion, Vice President; Paquita Beamer, Secy.-Treas.; Barbara Fvffe. Girl Rep.; Jack Nicklos, Boy Rep.; Miss Deemer and Mr. Moe, class sponsors. Mahlon Elliott and Eyelene Marion moved away and in their places Bob Stevens was elected president and Lucille Onorati vice president. The class again sponsored the February 1st dance. Barbara Martenson reigned as Santa Fe Trail Day Queen. JUNIORS This year eighty-one Juniors enrolled, forty girls and forty-one boys. Officers for the Junior year, ’46-’47 were as follows: Jack Nicklos, President; George Powell, Vice President; Joyce Taliaferro, Secretary; Roy Sakai, Treasurer; Velma Six, Girl Rep.; Richard Pelley, Boy Rep.; Miss Millikin and Mr. Hay, class sporsors. Junior year, the most important year of high school, with new responsibilities. For their Santa Fe Trail Day Queen Velma Six was chosen. Their most important activities for this year was the Junior play and Junior and Senior Prom. JOYCE TALIAFERRO ROY SAKAI Secretary Treasurer The Junior play, “Our Town,’’ was very successfully given on Dec. 6. It was a three act play by Thornton Wilder. It was given under the direction of Miss Millikin. In this play was the life of any town, of any human, from the cradle to the grave. It was most unusual and yet one of the finest plays ever given here. All the scenery, furniture, garden, background, etc., were imaginary. The elaborate Prom given the Seniors was the crowning event of the Junior class. The theme of this lovely affair was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” which was played by the orchestra and carried out in every detail of the banquet and dance. The Rainbow theme was used in very unique table decorations for the dinner, which was held at the Christain church, and also the after-dinner program. Jane Deatherage acted as toastmaster, introducing the numbers on the program; a song by Don Smith, a toast by Jack Powell on “Crossing Over” (from one side of the Rainbow to the other); a trombone solo by Burdette Graves, and a toast, “The Pot of Gold,” by Supt. Burkhard. The gymnasium was transformed into a fairyland. A huge rainbow with a pot of gold decorated the curtain on the stage with varied colored streamers radiating from it to make a complete rainbow sky over the entire gymnasium. The walls were decorated with characteristic paintings of houses and gardens—typical of “beyond the rainbow” fairyland. The Charlie Quaranta orchestra of Pueblo played for the dancing which began at 9 o’clock with a Grand Promenade and Crowning of the Queen. Jack Nicklos acted as prom chairman with the following committees assisting: Dec- orations (banquet), Joyce Taliaferro; (gym), Velma Six, Geo. Powell, Bob Stevens.

In the fall of ’45 a very enthusiastic class with 105 members stepped through the doors of BCHS. They have always had more in their class out for athletics than any other class and a number of the members play in the band. They have always taken an active part in all school functions.

President Harold Hamblin .................. Vice-President Dorothy Owen ........................ Secretary Jay Nickols .......................... Treasurer Bob Lowe ................... Boy Representative Jalia Collins ............................. Girl Representative Evelyn Wooten was choosen Santa Fe Trail Day Queen. The sponsors of the year were Mr. Beedc and Miss Alexander.

President Harold Hamblen ............... vice President Sammy Consonero ................... Secretary Dwight Canfield ................... Treasure - Jack Christensen ......... Boy Representative Joanne Smith ............ Girl Representative ....Santa Fe Trail Day this year seemed to be their lucky day. They won first in square dancing and their float rated first. Their queen of the day was Joanne Smith. The sponsers of the class were Mr. Beede and Miss Place. The Sophomore dance was held at the end of the year.

The first of the school year saw many bewildered people roaming the halls of the Bent County High School, yes, the Freshmen. Under the order of the Sophomore class they were compelled to wear lots of lipstick on their faces and even finger nail polish in some cases, as well as some very funny clothes. The traditional Frosh mixer, sponsored by the Student Council, was held at the first of the year. It was here that these “new” students really became acquainted and began to feel a part of B. C. H. S. This year the Freshmen girls ushered in a new idea by organizing a Junior Y-Teens. They chose Shirley Johnson as Senior girl sponsor. The girls decided to follow a program similar to the Senior Y-Teens. This new organization worked out very well and the girls had some good times together. A very successful dance was held March 17, sponsored by the Freshman class. Marlene Meyer was chosen by her class for Santa Fe Trail Day Queen. The Freshman class boasted the largest membership in school, 110 members. The offi- cers for this year were: Frank Brown ........................ President Jo Ann Wright ................. Vice President Betty Brown ........................ Secretary Doris Ann Turner ................... Treasurer Tommy Freed ......... Boy Student Council Rep. Jane Gregg .........

At the first meeting of the band 63 members reported and elected the following officers: President, Bob Boggs; Vice President, Jack Nicklos; Secretary, Dorothy Rawlings; Treasurer, Frank Faucett; Librarian, Sammy Con-sonero. Bob Biggs was the Student Council Representative and Student Director. The first concert put on by the band was “Stunt Night.” Many town organizations participated in the program to help the band in raising money for their new uniforms. Patron of Music Tickets were again sold to the public for all band concerts. The next concert was January 14, and then followed several concerts at Fort Lyon for the enjoyment of the patients and exchange concerts were held with Lamar, McClave. and La Junta. The band performed at the football games and the Pep Band played at the basketball games, introducing, in the Arkansas Valley, the new idea of performing on the floor during half time of the games. The band was also heard at pep rallies and at the Democratic rally. A benefit box supper was held in the High School gym to help pay for the new uniforms. A hill-billy band from Florence played for the occassion. GLEE CLUBS The Boys and Girls Glee Club, also under the direction of Mr. Beerends, participated in the Music Contest at La Junta on April 25. As far as the Glee Clubs were concerned the contest was more of a Festival since no vocal ratings were given. The judges merely criticized the singing. The Girls Club had 105 members while the Boys had 46 members. The high spot in the life of the ’47 band was the contest at La Junta, April 11 and 25. At the solo contest on the 11th, Berdette Graves brought home a superior rating as did the Clarinet Quartette which consisted of Elsie Banta, Alvena Shenk, Frances Logsdon, and Dorothy Rawlings. Thirteen other soloists and ensembles performed that day to make a fine name for Bent County High School. At the contest held two weeks later the band received a rating of Superior Plus, the highest rating given any organization that day. The same day the band marched in a parade of all the bands that participated in the contest. Doris Ann Turner, as head majorette, and Dorothy Ann Martin and Jean Taliaferro led the marching band. This summer Mr. Beerends is planning on continuing the music program for the band members and any town people or college students who wish to participate. Quite a few of the band members are planning on going to the Gunnison Band Camp for weeks this summer. Till | on ore«l by Nnfloiinl Alfiilfn llehydrillinn and Milling Co.

The next game with Eads was easy and we beat Castle Rock in a tough game. We met Centennial in a close game with the lead changing a lot. The next game with Eads was close and we were not in the lead until the last second of the game. The first league game was with La Junta. Las Animas was ahead all the way by as much as 10 points until La Junta caught up within two points at the last. The next league game was with Lamar which we won 40-22. In the Manzanola game the Trojans led all the way till the last five seconds when Manzy sank a winning long shot. The Trojans won a rough game at Lamar where many fouls were called. The district tournament arrived and the Trojans played La Junta for the third time. This time La Junta won in two overtime periods with the Trojan second team playing after three regulars fouled out in the fourth quarter.

Starting off with the conference games the Trojans won the first three and lost the fourth to Rocky Ford by a score of 25-24. Determined to win the rest of the conference games the Trojans started with new vigor and trampled over Rocky Ford by a score of 42-24.

Vocational Agriculture, four year course offered farm boys who intend to make farming their vocation, is a practical course. The boys devote about one half of their time in the farm shop where welding, farm carpentry, soldering and auto mechanics are taught. The remaining time is spent in the class room where students learn the new and practical practices related to raising livestock and crops. All students are required to carry a supervised farming program on the home farm where they apply improved methods of farming.

Mechanical drawing is the basis cf all engineering courses. To be a commercial artist mechanical drawing is required. To show a structure pictori-ally, as it will appear to the eye when finished, perspective drawing is often used. In mechanical drawing one learns the use of a great many tools and instruments he had never heard of before. To learn the correct use of these instruments takes time and understanding.

The executive members of Student Council along with the Students Council Members began their term of 1946-47 on Sept. 17. The ball started rolling with an Activity Ticket Contest, to boost the sales. The lucky winners were the Freshmen and Juniors. The Freshmen were welcomed to B.C.H.S. by a Frosh Mixer on Sept. 21, and Initiation Day on the 20th. The pop and hot dog sales were divided between the juniors and FFA with a little friction but all ended well. The sponsors for Student Council were Mr. Davis and Miss Stephenson. Miss Stephenson left in mid-year and Mr. Davis continued alone. Student aouncil h,eld another dance on October 4th which was a great success. A schedule for regular Student Council meetings was made for the whole year. ....Many money-making ideas were used and the Student Council will end its term well-to-do if its ending-up-party isn’t too costly. The committees were appointed by Frank which consisted of Finance, Activities, Dance, Assembly, and Election Committees. The coal shortage ceased activities for a short time in November. A big pep rally was held Oct. 31, before the La Junta game and the student body was entertained at the Ritz that night. A juke box was rented, and dancing at noons began. The “A” Club Dance was held Dec. 18. Absense and tardy dues were started in Student Council. Ten cents and five cents respectively. Santa Fe Trail Day was held May 2. Bob Stevens was in charge and had the activities for the day worked out very well. Student Council rented a coke machine for the “dry” students of B.C.H.S. The earnings from it paid for the rent on the juke box. We received a letter from Rocky Ford commending us on our good sportsmanship for congratulating them on their championship. The long and heated discussions in Student Council on the curfew led to the lifting of the regulation for school dances and activities. This all leads up to the Student Council party where everyone sits around and eats. It will probably dwindle the bank account but the members deserve it for working so hard.

The idea of Science Club was suggested last year when Mr. Pickens taught a “Know Your Money’’ class. Each member worked on their own projects for their own benefit. A few of the members gave a Science Club assembly for the student body.

When asked what he wanted to sponsor, Mr. Hay said, “Hobbies.” That was the beginning of the club. New members were permitted to join throughout the year. At the first meeting we were given a demonstration on film developing by Burdette Graves. Several of the meetings were spent in fixing a dark room. After the dark room was finished several meetings were devoted to developing films. There are some very interesting hobbies among the members. Some of these are collections of foreign coins, phonograph records, and tokens. Mr. Hay’s hobby is collecting old pennies and tokens from every state in the union. At one meeting Dorothy Rawlings told the club about ice hockey and how it was played. The group also saw a film of the championship fight between Joe Louis and Billy Conn. The Hobby club will undoubtedly be a permanent club at Bent County High School from the interest shown in its activities this year. TIiIm i :i u « M|HiiiMor«Ml liy I .jin AnimiiM jinIi ji i erln, K.

The Drama Club in Bent County High School was one of the new clubs organized this year. Under the sponsorship of Miss Maxine Millikin it gained success and attention from everyone. An assembly during the first of the school year was presented by the Drama Club. Among its greatest productions which proved to be a great hit was the “Gay Nineties Review,’’ in which the girls did well in learning the dances under George Boggs, their dancing instructor. Among some of the dances were the “Can Can,’’ “Old Fashioned Girl,” “Strolling Through the Park,” and several sextets and solos. A field trip to La Junta, Colo., was made early in the fall to see the product’on “A Date With Judy,” A field trip to Denver University was made on April 26.

The class attempted something unique in the line of play production with Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.’’ The stage was free from the artificial— walls, doors, stairways and windows. Only a suggestion of the scenes were visible to the audience. The real scenery was created in the minds of the audience. The story and action were so moving that actual stage scenery would have detracted rather than added to the production. Mr. Wilder’s tale showed the audience the simple yet great story of the lives in an ordinary American small town. The story was a personal part of every spectator. The huge cast of nearly fifty worked extremely hard to give their excellent performance and their work was rewarded by the “laughter and tears” of the members of the audience.

The Senior Class presented the play, ‘‘Out of the Frying Pan,” Monday night, April 7, under the direction of Mxss Maxine Millikin. “Out of the Frying Pan” is a three-act comedy by Francis Swann. The play was centered around three young men and three young women sharing a New York apartment. They are would-be stage folk and they have been driven to this community scheme by the lack of economic security. Bill Beauchamp played the part of George Bodell, a very lazy, forward, and witty young man, while Johnny Buswell kept everyone on the edge of their seats during his excitingly dramatic part as Norman Ruse. Jack Powell as Tony Dennison and Mildred Hoard as Marge Benson made the play a bit serious in part by expressing their sincere love for each other but Shirley Johnson soon brightened the seriousness by her cheerful and happy part as the “dumb-Dora,” 18 year old girl, Dottie Coburn. The last member of the apartment but certainly not least was Kate Ault, the cynic of the crowd, played by Wendy Oxford. This apartment happened to be light above the apartment of the theatrical producer, Arthur Kenny. He was the producer of the play, “Mostly Murder,’ in which the young people had been rehearsing and hoping frantically for parts in. This part was very successfully played by Tommy Moe. Their plans to get Arthur Kenny to come up to the apartment to see their rehearsal of the play had complications, one of which was a snippy young friend of Dottie Coburn, Muriel Foster. Muriel came to visit Dottie in the apartment and was very much disliked by the other occupants. This part was played by Marjorie Lu East. The other complication was Dottie’s father making his appearance. He didn’t approve of anything Dottie was doing and caused a great deal of trouble for all. This “stuff-shirt” politician was played by Frank Faucett. Dorothy Rawlings acted the part of Mrs. Garnett, the bewildered landlady. She was rather interested in the theater but never knew just what was going on during one of the rehearsals of the play. During one rehearsal the young people had a little trouble and the cops entered the apartment thinking someone had been murdered. The first and second cops were played by Bob Biggs, and Dennis Hunke. The play ended with everyone happy except Muriel Foster who had to be the corpse for the play, “Mostly Murded.” “Out of the Frying Pan” went over fine with the audience and the general commet was in high praise of this fast-moving comedy.
