SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Back in 1943, thirty-one young freshman started their four year course in Berne High School. For our protection from the upper classmen, we chose as our officers, John Smith, president; Flossie Beer, vice-president; Mary Habegger, treasurer; and Alice Lehman, secretary. Our class sponsor was Miss Doris Brabender. We went through many trying things in this, our freshman year. It was all new to us, but we managed in the end. The next year we could discard the name “Freshie” and take on the new name of “Sophomore.” We were really proud of our new position in school life and did our best to live up to it. This year our class sponsor was Howard Burnett. Our class officers were Jerry Stucky as president, Vera Habegger as vice-president, and Max Habegger as secretary-treasurer. Our junior year was beginning to show some hope toward our success as students. Our class gave a play “Don’t Keep Him Waiting,” which was a hilarious comedy. As our class leaders of our upper classmen days we chose Jim Sprunger, president; John Smith, vice-president; Flossie Beer, secretary; and Vera Habegger, treasurer. This year we entertained the seniors in the month of May at the annual reception. We really decorated the gymnasium up very pretty. In our senior year we lived up to the name “Sophisticated Seniors” as best we could. True, we had our good times also, but we were generally a little more on the serious side this year. Our class leaders this year have b?en John Smith, president; Jim Sprunger, vice-president; Vera Habegger, secretary; and Alice Lehman, treasurer. For our entertainment we chose the play “A Date With Judy,” which was a roaring success With these memories of our years of school, our teachers, and all the hard work, we are ready to go on and continue to climb theladder of success.
