In the fall of ’48, we 45 blew in, or slid in (opinions differ), but nevertheless we energetic freshmen entered Berne-French High School. For our class officers, to guide us through our first year, we chose Junior Bertsch for president; Audrey Whitehurst, vice president; Daisy Heller, secretary; and JoAnn Baumgartner, treasurer. November 22 we had a class party in the school gym. As sophisticated sophomores we welcomed a few new members to our class. We chose Paul Sprunger as president; Don Neuen as vice president; Carolyn Smith as secretary; and Susan Rumple as treasurer. A skating party was held at Decatur on April 24 with everyone having a swell time. At last we became juniors and could be called the upper-classmen. For our class officers we chose Don Neuen as president; Paul Sprunger as vice president; Carolyn Smith as secretary; and Daisy Heller as treasurer. On February 13, our class presented the play, “Cheaper By the Dozen.” under the direction of Miss Blanche Stone. In May we played hosts to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Reception. Finally, we had arrived at the moment when we could be called “Seniors.” We elected the following officers to guide us safely through our senior year: Junior Bertsch as president; Daisy Heller as vice president; Marjorie Stauffer as secretary; and Roberta Wulliman as treasurer. On October 15, our class joined the juniors in a skating party at Roller Dome in Fort Wayne. Our class colors are beige and brown. Our class flower is the sunburst rose. For our class motto we have chosen “Don’t be sharp, Don’t be flat, Just be natural.” For our educational class trip we chose to go to Chicago, 111. Another commencement has passed and B. F. H. S. has sent out another class to make over the world. We wish to express our gratitude to all the teachers for their patience and kindness. We sincerely regret leaving all of our friends and most of all, good old Berne-French High! Twelve
