CLASS HISTORY In the early fall of 1952.33 small but lively Freshmen stumbled into the halls of BUS. The first thing they stumbled into was the sophomore, who in turn made them stumble into their most gone initiation costume, complete with lipstick. It was a hard thing to take, but these most extraordinary Frosh took it all with a smile and the upmost of dig nity. surviving fairly well the last of the harsh type of initiations to be seen around BUS. The poor green ones were rewarded by the sophomores the next week, when a party was given in honor of them. Of course the Freshmen gave the sophomores one in return, and so went the first year of high school for our class of '56', which was guided and advised then by Mr. Sivils. With the sophomore year came many new and different things to this mighty class, the first of which was a new advisor. Miss Brown. One of the gay times planned by the sophomores that year was a hay ride. It turned out all right even if the wagon broke and students came home in any fashion they could arrange. The sophomores also added to their fame and the gaiety of Christmas that year by presenting a Christmas assembly for the school. Afore mentioned Christmas was really a quite gay one. because Miss Brown chose that time to get married. After that the ad- visor was Mrs- Gorsuch. The junior year for our most honorable class, was advised by Mr. Flint, who showed the class to even more fame and fortune. As a first sign of power, the juniors of 54-55 had three officers in Student Council. Gordon Reese was Vice-President. Sharon Slethaug held the Secretary's post, and Gladys Fenby was the Treasurer. These same juniors did that wonder in the field of dramatics, entitled “No More Homework.” directed by Mr. Hoepfer. and claiming the attention of nearly everyone in the valley. Their Prom was the first in a long while to come out even or at least not behind. With the theme of Chinatown , and the gym a huge pagoda, the class did well for itself. Later in the spring, they honored the seniors with the annual banquet, served at Reeves Cafe in White fish. As seniors, this same class, although it was battered, much wiser, and fewer in num - ber (23) was still a mighty one. Under the advisorship of Mr. Flint, they hustled or scrambled this book together, and a free dance, celebrated Pat Anderson's birthday at Lake Blaine, and had made enough money through the years to go on a nice, noisy senior trip.
