FOUR YEARS IN REVIEW Now that we, the class of ’42, have reached that time when we are the all-important seniors, we look back at our years of lesser importance and recall the days when we were “scared freshies.” It was then that Carmen Lehman as our president led us through our first trying year, aided by Bill Emick as our vice president, Ardus Gene Sprunger as secretary, and Howard Baumgartner as treasurer. That year we held a party in the old schoolhouse, on March 10, and what a time we had The decorations were carried out in St. Patricks Day motif. At the beginning of our second year we felt quite grown up, for we had the freshies to look down upon. We strode through the halls of B. H. S. with ease and assurance, never going to the wrong classrooms or falling down the stairs. Ronald Lehman was our president that year, with Ardus Gene Sprunger, vice president; Betty Mae Habegger, secretary; and Howard Baumgartner, treasurer. We were juniors—upperclassmen, at last! We were coming into our own! Our class play, “Welcome Home, Jimmy,” given October 22, was a real success, as was evidenced by the hearty applause of those who attended. We entertained the seniors at the junior-senior reception which was the climax of our social life that year. Then the class of ’41 left us and we reigned supreme as the seniors of '42 with Margaret Allspaw as president, Lois Lehman as vice president, Phyllis Sprunger as secretary, and Carmen Lehman as treasurer. The year was filled with many memories for us all: having our senior pictures taken, our trip to Indianapolis, attending musical contests, editing this annual, and the many other things that go with graduation. Our senior class play, “June Mad,” presented on April 17, gave us a chance to forget our dignity once more and re-act our days of youth. Although we are glad that we have progressed this far in the world, we are sorry to break the associations that have been so dear to us. Fourteen
