CLASS HISTORY FRESHMEN The doors of the brand new high school opened and guess who arrived? Why it’s the class of ' 57! Who else? We were definitely welcomed by the all glorious seniors who let us know just how pleased they were to see us. The frosh had finally arrived to carry their books in peach baskets, and perform jigs upon request. The seniors probably thought they could wear us down with their antics, but, of course, we survived. The final touch to that hap-hazard week was the traditional Freshmen Reception given by the seniors. By the way, weren’t we the young Frosh who brought a nice bundle of en- thusiasm into the new school? Remember our first adventure, kids? It was our thank you dance for the Seniors. Stag or drag, Fight or fall, Bring your Gal to the Frosh Brawl.” Everything went well, and it turned out to be a real success. That year the little Freshmen surprised everyone by taking second place in the Magazine Drive. SOPHOMORES Our sophomore year rolled around pretty fast. By now we were old hands at such things as the Magazine Drive; and proceeded to take first place this year. Good group, that class of ’57. At the same time, we were in the midst of a rumpus trying to change the dance style at B.H.S. The question was: Shall it be modern or square?” The smoother dance style won. We proved our point when we presented Moods In Music,” a tremendous success. JUNIORS Our Junior year had its successes too. That year we presented the Junior Prom, entitled Stairway to the Stars.” The event was held in the cafeteria which was beautifully decorated in shades of blue and white. The King and Queen of the Prom distributed the long-awaited class rings to the Juniors. SENIORS Here we are Seniors ! This year we initiated the freshmen who were a terrific bunch of sports. We’re sure they had as much fun doing the stunts, as we had issuing them. In the fall we were busy collecting past dues and feverishly trying to raise money for a very expensive year. We came upon the idea of selling Christmas cards and wrappings; which netted us a tidy sum of money. The spring season came upon us very quickly. It found us in the midst of planning our Senior Play, Senior Ball and the annual banquet. As we walk down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance,” memories of our high school years flash back in our minds. We remember the hard work, as well as all the fun ; and yet, we know that graduation is not the end, but merely the beginning of another chapter in our lives. 18
