Class of '63 History Ase the gateway of the world opens before us, we look back on our high school years - four years for which there will never be a substitute and which we shall never be able to relive. Only two members of our class, Phil Lear, Freshmen Class President, and Charles Warnock, have spent all four high school years at Berlin High. Our Sophomore year brought a host of new students, many' of whom are still with us. Student Council representative Phil Lear represented us on the basketball court with Maggie Ellithorpe helping to promote school spirit as a cheerleader. Scholastically, Diane Patenaude and Phil Lear received recognition as members of the National Honor Society. Our Junior Class will long be remembered because of our outstanding school leadership. We will be desig- nated as the first Junior Class to put on the Senior Prom, which we held at Congress Hall. The top two class offices were held by Phil Lear and Maggie Ellithorpe respectively. Two 1st stringers, Student Council representative Chuck Hewins and Dave Lodge were in on Gridiron action while Phil Lear and Mike Denton were on the basketball team. Returning soccer players Phil Lear and Charles Warnock were aided by Chuck Hewins. Supporting the teams as cheerleaders were Jeanette Gonzales and Maggie Ellithorpe, while B-ette Captain Linda Counselman helped in the organization of this new club. Class oflicers for our Senior year slated Chuck Hewins, Presidentg Mike Jiru, Vice-President, Gwen Howell, Secretaryg and Pat Burwell, Treasurer. The influence of the Class of '63 was also felt in the student govern- ment with Phil Lear as Student Body President, Maggie Ellithorpe, Corresponding Secretary, Mike Denton, Parliamentariang and Cheryl Whyde, Class Representative. Seniors who greatly aided the victorious Cubs in their 6-O football season were most valuable lineman Mike Jiru, plus Chuck Hewins, Kirby Colson, Mike Denton, Charles Warnock, and Edmond Wong. Three lettermen, Kirby Colson, Mike Jiru, and Phil Lear returned to dominate the basketball court. Many class members were leaders in the promotion of school spirit. Yearbook editor Pat Burwell, as President of the Pep Club, got this organization. working with cheerleaders Maggie Ellithorpe, captain and Homecoming Queen, and Jeanette Gonzales. Newcomer Sandy Eicher entered the scene as majorette captain. Many senior voices were heard in the chorus wherein Mike Denton was President and Mike Jiru backed him up as Vice-President. Scholastic achievements were made by National Honor Society members Maggie Ellithorpe, Secretary, Diane Patenaude, and Sherry Sweet. Bear Factsu editor Peter von Pawel put out endless hours to make our school paper the best ever. As we look back over the years, we remember outstanding leaders, new and old, of the Class of '63, who have achieved recognition in other schools. We have gained much over the years at Berlin High and what we have learned here will have a lasting impression on us as we reach out for higher goals.
