 We stumbled into the territory of B. T. H. S. and enlisted, thirty-one of us, into the “army of intelligence” in the fall of 1944. Since then we have been striving toward many different goals. Our first really big day was initiation day—then we become Citizens of B. T. H. S. We then chose our leaders: President, Joe Heneberry; Vice- President, Thomas Warren; Secretary-Treasurer, Lynnette Reeter; and Class Sponsor, Mr. Bohlen. We gave tw’o one-act plays before the student body, directed by Miss Doris Meeker. Wheel Sophomores at last! Looking around, though, we discovered that we had lost seven members of our class, decreasing it very much. This year we gained four new members: Wayne Shelton, Bill Scribner, Betty and Clem Goddard. Joe Heneberry continued as president; Bill Glover, was vice-president; and Wayne Shelton, secretary- treasurer; and we had Miss Marguerite Shuck as sponsor. We again gave two one-act plays before the public, directed by Miss Generose Dunn. Imagine! Juniors already! We entered school with a renewed hope that we were half way through high school. As jolly juniors we started out with a bang. We gave a three-act play: “I Know Your Secret” before a large audience; this was directed by Miss Dunn. We made money like mad. We had charge of the concession stand at the games, sold magazines, gave a Variety Show; we gave the Seniors a splendid Prom at the Scoville Country Club, with Ted Dickerson’s Orchestra. Our leaders were: President, Shirley Walton; Vice-President, Lawrence Brown; Secretary, Elaine Low; Treasurer, Lynnette Reeter; and Sponsor, Mr. H. O. Petty. We “Sophisticated Seniors” entered school September 3, 1947. Five students had left our class. Our officers were: President, Shirley Walton; Vice-President, Joe Hene- berry; Secretary, Ella Mae Moon; Treasurer, Wayne Shelton; and Sponsor, Miss Gene- rose Dunn. Miss Dunn also directed our Senior Play, “Maid To Order.” The actors were: Jack Bone, Betty Wicker, Wayne Shelton, Joe Heneberry, Betty Goddard, Ella Mae Moon, Lynnette Reeter, Joan Younger, Elaine Low, Lawrence Brown and Shirley Brown. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. Our Senior class is sponsoring the first B. T. H. S. Annual, “Reverie.” Our boys were prominent in sports. The football stars were James Goetz, Lawrence Brown, Bill Scribner, Bill Sutton, Joe Heneberry, Joe Foster, Bob Cook, and Clem Goddard. The basketball whizes were James Goetz, Bill Sutton, Jack Bone, Lawrence Brown, Clem Goddard and Joe Heneberry. We are now looking forward to the Annual, Senior Night, our Senior Trip to Chi- cago, and our Junior-Senior Prom, when we will once again don our formals and tuxedoes and wait to be carried away in our glass chariots or maybe a model “T.” We want to thank the entire faculty for making our high school days as pleasant as they have been, and we wish them and our classmates all the luck in the world.
