The Class Of 1934 Class of ’34 Brings Crusade to Close In 1930, 76 bewildered freshmen joined the ranks of the crusaders. We chose Donald Wenger, president; Christine Miller, vice-president; Lester Piper, secretary- treasurer, and Mr. Stettler, advisor to concentrate our abundant enthusiasm in the proper channels. The next year Christine Miller led the class in our second part of the crusade. Mareen Bixler was her assistant, Konstantin Epp guarded the funds and Miss Kimmel served in the capacity of sponsor. Emma Detweiler, president; Konstantin Epp, vice-president; Lucille Niswander, secretary-treasurer and Miss Boss, advisor, marshalled the forces safely through our junior year. Our senior year rolled around entirely too soon for most of us. Now, we had reached the highest possible rank. Lester Piper was captain; Elizabeth Bixel, lieu¬ tenant; Richard Swank treasurer, and Mr. Stauffer and Mr. Smucker, guides. We shall no longer carry on a crusade together but individually we shall carry on with the same valiant spirit that marked our four year course. Best All-round Students E ach year the best all-round girl and the best all-round boy are selected from the graduating class. This year Lucille Niswander and Konstantin Epp have won the coveted honor. These two students are well qualified to be called “best all-round students” because they have taken an active part in almost every phase of school life. The selection of the most versatile students is based on a point system adopted by the Student Senate. This system includes leadership and membership in all scholastic as well as extra-curricular activities. The first twelve seniors according to the number of points they have received are: Lucille Niswander, Emma Detweiler, Konstantin Epp, Christine Miller, Harold Schultz, Donald Wenger, Mareen Bixler, Elizabeth Bixel, LaDonna Klay, Maynard Coon, Victor Augsburger and Lysle Cahill. Senior Activities The class of 1934 has not been a mere section in the crusade of modern youth, but has played a vital part in making it an outstanding success. In every phase of school life our class has had a share. In scholastic activities our class has always played an important role. Members of the class could usually be counted on to win a high ranking in the State Scholar¬ ship tests. Lucille Niswander has the highest scholastic standing in the class and Emma Detweiler and Mareen Bixler are salutatorians. Ever since our freshman year we have been represented in many extra curricular activities. We have been active in both Girls’ and Boys’ Athletics, Debate, Dramatics, Vocal and Instrumental Music, Publications, G. R., Hi-Y and other club work. A few of the high spots of our high school career are: presentation of “The Call of Youth” and “East Lynne”, publication of the “Annual Leaves” and the “B-Hi News”, 1933 Junior-Senior Banquet and Senior Class Night.

Illustrious Youth Of Class History Ahoy! The class of ’35! The largest crew ever to enter the portals of B. H. S. as a single class. From the huge ship Adventure they scramble noisily and con¬ fusedly into the crowded harbor of knowledge. At first they become bewildered, due to the lack of room, but their captain of the year, James Miller, safely guides them through all difficulties. His helpers are Charles Conrad and Paul Geiser, filling the positions of Vice-president and Sec’y.-treas., respectively. Just as you find sailors in every port, you find in every school activity members of the freshman class. Sports! Clubs! Music! Scholarship! Everywhere you see them. They heartily thank Miss Lapp for her faithful service as class advisor during the first strenuous year. They assemble again the following year, ever seeking to learn. Now it is their privilege to look down upon the Frosh from their own superior height. They change leaders. Margaret Triplett is chosen to lead them onward. Letha Niswander records the class activities and David Kliewer acts as the right hand man to the president. Their advisor is Miss Enders. They still pursue their goals in various fields of work, but the main event of the year is a bob-sled party. As juniors they find comfort in the spaciousness of the new high school building. Promotions are in order. David Kliewer assumes the presidential duties. John Johnson is his helper, and Fern Hilty wields the pen. A new position is added. Geraldine Stauffer is chosen as Social Chairman. Miss Hanish supervises the class activities. The old custom of honoring the freshmen is discontinued, but it is decided to give the seniors a farewell to be remembered. “Once in a Lifetime” proved to be quite a success. One finds the dramatic ability and the speaking abili ty of the junior class very commendable. As the school year nears the end, they resolve to make their senior year the climax of their school life. Left to right— Hilty, Berry, Wilkins, Kreider, Irwin, Kliewer, Corson, Tschantz, Bigler.
