With the advent of graduation the class bids a fond farewell to the ''Halls of Ivy'' and ventures forth to new horizons. This class has truly held its standards high in school work, student government, class responsi- bilities, sports, and all phases of school life. Since the bewildering days of the eighth grade, they have faced life together harmoniously. Rat Day brought the various costumes, smeared lipstick, and many tasks to be performed in order to enjoy the Homecoming festivities. The class worked hard while still in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades to raise money for their Junior-Senior. Then as energetic Juniors they labored together to present ''In the Heart of Dixie for their Junior-Senior Prom. The Senior year has brought many problems and triumphs--applications for colleges, college boards, the annual Christmas Dance, and the Senior Play, THE MATCHMAKER. These Seniors have selected invitations and cards and have been fitted for caps and gowns in preparation for their big night''. With an inner glow of achievement the Class of '62 bids farewell to the halls of B.H.S. to venture forth into the world in many different directions, guided by their motto to ''be a light in someone's sky. 14
