McJILTON GENE ULYSSES SPRING GLEN DAVID RICE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class of 1949 now takes time to remember the incidents of the past six years which have had a part in the shaping of its future. These years in B. S. H. S. have in- cluded participation in numerous literary, dra- matic, musical and social, as well as formally educational events—an appropriate manifesta- tion of our motto, “Enter to learn; Co forth to serve.” In September, 1945, one hundred and five freshmen entered the Senior High School. A highlight of this year was a Halloween party given in honor of the sophomore class. As we were underclassmen, however, emphasis was placed on academic achievement rather than on extra curricular activities. As sophomores our class was represented in many school activities and clubs. We gave an- other party, this time for the freshmen. But the high point of achievement was our presentation of “The Highwayman,” a play in which the hoys played the girls’ parts and vice versa. As a comedy the play was a howling success. The next year we became juniors and upper- classmen. Again we showed our acting ability in the comedy, “Professor, How Could You! It was at this time that our class donated The 1949 Warm Spring Echoes twenty-five dollars toward the stage play scen- ery. In the spring came our trip to Washing- ton, I). C. This was not only an entertaining, hut also a highly educational experience. And we will never forget that prom. We waited all year for it, and were thoroughly convinced that it was worth waiting for. Now, as seniors, we have come to the end of the trail through high school. Scenes along this trail have been many and varied. This spring we were introduced to the wonders of the great city of New York. We caught a glimpse of life on Broadway, life among the skyscrapers, and life down to Chinatown. But here in school we have seen our members distinguish themselves in the yearly literary contests. We have seen them perform on the f(X)tball field, the basket- ball floor, and the baseball diamond. We have seen our class represented in the musical groups and organizations of this school. And as we look forward to life in college, or to life on the job, we know that our efiforts and our teach- ers’ efforts for us during these past six years in B. S. H. S. have not been in vain. The trail we have traveled divides now into a number- less variety of roads leading in all directions. Each of us will have to select one. But no mat- tere what the choice, we can look forward with eagerness, for we are prepared. 21
