SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By: BETTY ARBOGAST Four years ago, early one September morning, an eager, joyous group of one hundred and fourteen knowledge seekers came pouring into Berkeley Springs High School. At first high school seemed difficult to these freshmen, but as time passed, they fell in with the customs of high school life, and their strangeness wore away. They were initiated at the sophomore class party in the gymnasium. The freshman class labored hard and con- tinuously. They accomplished much while taking a leading part in high school activities. After three months of summer vacation, a new era began which was to be entitled sophomore year. Returning for their second year of high school were one hundred and one members of the class. They held a party at the roller rink for the purpose of initiat- ing the freshman class. During the year many sophomores began to participate in various activities, taking part in the band and the athletic teams and three of the students were chosen as varsity cheerleaders. The junior year was marked by a great change. The class of 55 began to realize what high school could do for them. They had a better understanding of their friends, their teachers, and their surroundings. As juniors they had more responsibilities with the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The new classmates soon became old” and the class numbered ninety-three. The class sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Party for the purpose of raising money. The class was well represented on the football field, and the basketball floor; in the band and in the various clubs. Before the Christmas vacation the class spon- sored the Christmas assembly, presenting the play, Christmas in the Cobbler Shop.” Next came the excitement of the arrival of the class rings and then the junior class play, If Mother Only Knew. Finally it was prom night. The theme Moonlight and Roses was used in decorating the gymnasium. This was the most important night of the junior year. Then ■ came Step-Up Day,” the big day when we moved up to occupy the seats of seniors. The big day arrived in September, 1954, when the class became seventy-six full-fledged seniors. First came the excitement of ordering name cards and announcements. The selec- tion of the staff for Warm Spring Echoes was made. The seniors sponsored the sale of stationery and all-occasion cards. During the year the seniors have taken a major part in clubs, athletic events and the publication of the school paper. The last chapter of these wonderful years is filled with many happy occasions and friendships which will never be forgotten. To our class officers we are deeply grateful, to our class sponsors we extend our thanks for their guidance and friendship, and to our principal, Mr. Sheets, who has stood by us these last three years, we express our deepest appreciation. In changing from history to the future we are looking forward to the fun we shall have on the trip to New York City. We look forward to graduation day with mixed emotions of anticipation and regret. There will be happiness for us in the knowledge of attainment, the achievement of a goal we set for ourselves four years ago, but there will be sadness too. The routine of familiar habits and close associations with classmates will be broken. Leave-taking will not be easy, but we know that many happy memories will help to sustain and guide us as we go forth on our future ways.
