Maxine St. Pierre who left our school, and Betty Williams who became a senior. By the time we had reached our junior year we were getting far nearer our goal, and so on began to realize that we were becoming a strong body of students. Betty Gullickson our president, Marlyn Cor- nett our vice-president, Norma Krumsick as secretary, and Mona Edwards as representative for student council worked with Miss Helen Meyers as sponsor that year. We really went all out for the Carnival. Rob- ert Boettcher as King candidate, and Betty Ann Gullickson as Queen candidate represented the class that year, plus the well remembered seven bathing beauties of our class. Soon after Carnival time we be- gan work in earnest on our Junior Play, “Second Fiddle , which was a great success. In the spring we gave the seniors their prom. We took them on a trip South of the Border , complete with dancing senors and senoritas, and cactuses on the dance floor, after serving them a deli- cious banquet dinner. King and queen of the Junior-Senior Prom that year were Frances Petr and Harvey Keller. To add the final touch to our junior year we joined the seniors on a picnic at Kiwanis, which proved the super finishing touch. During this year we were joined by Betty Lou Lawrence, and lost Maxine Currie as she left our school. And now well prepared, we took over the reigns of the school as seniors to lead it through the year. We welcomed the freshmen in much the same way we were welcomed, and if not too politely, quite sincere- ly. President Jirfl May, vice-president Howard Wright, secretary Norma Krumsick, Student Council representative Darlene Handford, sponsor Mr. Burley, and co-sponsor Mr. Julson tcdc over the task of controlling the seniors for that year. Our class shall well be remembered for its ability to disagree. Our strongest disagreement seemed to come over mottos and after much debate and rebate, the motto was changed to All Roads Worth Taking, Lead Uphill . We chose Irene Kaiser as Queen Can- didate that year, and Jerry Drew as King Candidate. For the first time in the history of the class one of our candidates was crowned, and Queen Irene reigned over the carnival. That winter one of the first operettas the school had presented in a long time was given, and there were many seniors making up the cast for this operetta, which proved a success. Soon after operetta time, the seniors began working on their play, The Inner Willy , which proved a very hilarious and gala play, and a play that became aware that the big wheels were gone, and lo and behold, the seniors had gone away on sneak day, and we had the time of our lives. After that we went all out on class night to really entertain our friends and parents, and then quietly held our baccalaureate services. It was after this that we finally reached our goal, received our diplomas on graduation night, closed the final chapter of our four years, and locked the book deep in our hearts to remember it forever, along with memories of our school and teachers.

The Junior-Senior Prom of 1949 The Junior-Senior Prom of 1949 was a big success due to the hard work of these thirteen juniors. They turned the Community Hall into beautiful Hawaii for the night, and in this setting served the deli- cious banquet before the dance. To the music of the Royal Hawaiians, young and old alike glided underneath the swaying palms for the rest of the evening. The students of B. S. H. S. will always look back upon that night of April 30 as one of the most enjoyable events of the year, and they thank these juniors who made it possible.
