'Reueiie JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September 1, 1947, twenty-six eager young Freshmen entered B. T. H. S. ►o start four years of High school. A few weeks after school started, we elected the following officers: Jim Keown, President; Herbert Majors, Vice-President; Kimberly Powell, Secretary; Robert Shelton, Treasurer; and Mr. W. L. Schmitt, sponsor. As Student Council Representatives we chose Doris Keown and Dick Dickson, who was replaced later in the year by Jim Keown. Then came the big day all the other classes were waiting for - - Initiation Day. Each class gave a skit which ended a day that we will all remember for some time. The Sopho- mores gave us a hamburger fry and hay ride and in return we gave them a skating party at Sullivan. At the beginning of the second semester Robert Shelton moved to Tennessee, leaving the class to finish up their freshman year as twenty-five in number. On August 30, 1948 we started back to school again not quite the green Freshmen this time and started the year by electing the following officers: Glen Austin, President; James Tipsword, Vice-President; Kimberly Powell, Secretary; Darrell Perisho, Treasurer; and Mr. Wade Davis, sponsor. Student Council representatives were Jim Keown and Maxine Marshall. As we started school we missed Dick Dickson, who transferred to Mt. Zion, but were glad to welcome Evelyn Lillico and Leroy Tinnea into our class. At the beginning of the second semester Darlene Gaither and Dorothy Hull moved into the district to increase the class to twenty-eight. January 14 we lost a Sophomore, Hannah Scribner who married Kenneth Nance. The Sophomore girls gave a luncheon and shower in her honor. At the close of the year we sophomores were looking forward to our Junior year. Juniors at last! August, 1949, we were Juniors with twenty-four in our class. During the summer Dorothy Hull, Leona Campbell and Kimberly Powell transferred to other schools. Class officers were elected a few weeks after school started. They were: James Tipsword, President; Glen Austin, Vice- President; Marjorie Bartimus, Secretary; Jim Keown, Treasurer; and Mr. Voyles, sponsor. Student Council representatives were Marjorie Bartimus and Jim Keown. Maxine Marshall was chosen by the teachers for the Student Council. Since we were Juniors, of course we needed class rings. We met with a represent- ative from Herff-Jones Company and chose our rings. We started selling candy at noon and running the stand at games to earn money but our biggest source of money came from the magazine sales. James Tipsword and Glen Austin were team Captains. Marjorie Bartimus was business manager. James Tipsword s team won. He had the two top salesmen, Tom Stables who sold $210 worth of subscriptions and Phyllis McReynolds who sold $219 worth. All together the class sold $1110.10 worth of subscriptions. The class made approximately $400. Tom received a radio, pen and pencil set and a billfold. Phyllis McReynolds got a ladies watch. The Juniors had a class party November 10. It was a hamburger fry and scavanger hunt. Our Junior play, ‘‘The Perfect-Idiot was presented in April. The Junior-Senior Prom was May 13 at Scovills Country Club. An enjoya ble time was had by all. Se aoC - f $50
