KNE W SENIOR CLASS HISTORY gee-5 -2 OUR eventful, happy years have passed since the Seniors of '27 stood before Q, If 1 the portals of Berwick High School. Now, standing on the threshold of life, Rf 322-3 we pause to look back over our high school career with a certain feeling of . . .3 '1.1 regret at leaving the scene of so many happy memories of never-to-be-for- gotten days. We have seen many changes take place since our Freshman days 3 we have witnessed an almost unbelievable improvement in every phase of our school life. The class of 1927 has tried to do its share in making Berwick High School bigger and better. When we entered high shcool in 1923, there were two hundred nineteen of us. Perhaps we merited the term green which was applied to us by the upper classrnen, but we possessed from the beginning the enthusiasm and initiative which has had its expression in all of our activities. The outstanding social event of our Freshman year was a Valentine Party, given at the High School Building. A minstrel, readings, and musical numbers comprised an interesting program. In athletics we showed remarkable progress for just Freshies , with three boys on the football squad, and five boys and three girls on the two basketball squads. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, the class enrollment was somewhat decreased, but we still numbered one hundred thirty-seven. As Sophomores, we were social failures, it must be confessed, but we may attribute the neglect of social affairs to an overpowering desire to prove to the faculty that our class was, in truth, a group of unusually diligent scholars. Again, we shone in athletics, with a still more remarkable representation of eight boys on the football squad, six on the basketball squad, and eight girls on the girls' basketball squad. At last our inexperienced days were over, and we entered our Junior year Septemf ber 8, 1925, with one hundred two members. Early in the year the class was organized, and a meeting called for the choosing of a motto and class colors. After much discussion, B-ys Sz B-square was chosen as our motto, while blue and silver became the class colors. Soon an order was placed for pennants, shields, and the large banner which the class has bequeathed to the future classes of the B. H. S. The climax of our Junior career was reached when we entertained the Seniors and Faculty at an elaborate banquet given at West Side Parkg the place was artisti- cally decorated with the pennants of both classes, and their class colors, blue and silver for the Juniors, and cherry and blue for the Seniors. At each place an attractive favor by which to remember the occasion. After the banquet, the Keystone Serenaders furnished music for dancing. - When we returned in the fall of 1926 as Seniors, it was to enter a high school much larger, much different from that we had known for the previous three years. Everything was changed, and we entered upon a new regime in Berwick High School. Class officers were elected at once, to guide the class through the last and most eventful year of its career. Class rings were chosen a few weeks after school opened. Fourteen
