CLASS HISTORY On September 2, l9h6 sixteen hopeful freshman walked up the stairs into Birmingham High Schoolg wondering what was Going to happen to them next. Two weeks after school started the Seniors put on a little party for us. Better known as Freshman Initation. On Oct. lh, Carl Bell entered school here. On Oct. 2h Carl Pell moved to Iowa City. On January 22 Frank and Marjorie Cox moved to Granger, Missouri. Raymond Mcclurg moved to Fairfield on March 3, and Jimmie Weller came here from Stockport on the same day. Rob Hardin quit school on May l. This left a class of 13 to go on into the Sophomore Class. When we started to school our Sophomore year we had gained the following people: Elna Hootman from Keosauqua, Dwight Kisling and Jacque McBride from Stockport, and Bill Mueller from Douds. This made a class of l? to start out the year. Donna Williams left on January 23 and moved to Nun, Colorado. The next thing we knew we were through with the Sophomore Class and soon would be Juniors. When school started for our Junior year we found that we had lost two members and gained one of them back. Shirley Ford did not return to school this year and Dwight Kisling had started to school at Fairfield. Donna Williams had come back from Nun, Colo, to finish school with her old classmates. This made a Junior class uf 15 members. We finished out this nine months of school without gaining or losing in number so we had 15 members to go into the Senior class. We finally made it to the Senior class. During the summer we did not gain or lose anyone so we had 15 members. This year we were the ones to put on the party for the Freshma instead of being the ones to be initated. Since this was our lasg year it seemed that it went by awfully fast. Almost before we knew it, it was time to put on the Senior Play. After the play was over it was but a very short time until commencement and we were out of school. We finished school with a class of 15 members consisting of B girls and 7 boys. jeff,-.44 -fue-ood, FAREWELL The senior class of '50 will leave old B.H.S. in lay. We really hate to say farewell But we oan't afford to stay. Our teachers and our friends so dear Have helped ue every day, And now we go down l1fe'e long road Each in his own way. Some our minds have thus made up And some still wondering go, But in the end we'll all make good, This for a fact, I know. We bid you farewell dear old school And hope that you may stayg As ever loyal, true and free, As you are this very day. bzalau y07,w4o' Zfadx
