No!” The year 1950 came and we were Seniors, not in the least bit dignified. The year we had always looked forward to as the most important was here. The Senior year brought with it still more surprises and activities than the Junior year could ever have hoped to provide. Nearly all the organizations of B. H. S. were guided by a member from our class. Besides participating in all the activities pre- viously mentioned we could be found work- ing on the Buccaneer, trying our luck at scholarship tests, and a few of us were elected to the National Honor Society. We were kept busy doing things to raise money for our trip to Washington D. C. We did everything from sponsoring a Bob Mason Show to selling magazine sub- 10TH GRADE OFFICERS President ..............Melvin Marquart Vice President ........Joan Montgomery Secretary-Treasurer ......Barbara Lewis Advisorw = ta fone .....Mr. Howe LELAND R.

The Jr.-Sr. Prom, Baccalaureate, Commencement, the Alumni Banquet, and our class trip made May the outstanding month. What abo::: these twenty-six members of the Class of “51”? What will become of each one as they go out into life? This you may be sure. Whatever way of life they may choose, they will go “Forward ever, Backward nev- er,” We greatly appreciate the guidance Mr. Kettlewell has given us during the year to. make it the best year in our school life.

You may think that this is absolutely all the activities a class could be represented in, but you’re in for a surprise for we still have a few more activities in which some of us took part. The football, basketball, and baseball squads claimed many of the boys, not just as bench-warmers, but, as varsity or first string players. Cheerleading with all its joys and sorrows held the attention of two girls for four years. Another classmate led the band as head drum majorette for two years. The girls showed their athletic ability in the in- tramural games. They are very proud of hav- ing won the basketball championship when they were only Sophomores, and they may English and industrial arts =. « MOSt operant to him is to graduate .... “I can’t - stand it” “Oh, = = PAUL HERBERT CRAMER DOROTHY JEAN LEIBER “Dot” ... . very active, in school organizations ; letter award in music .. shorthand and bookkeeping rank first as subjects... hopes to become a secretary . - in her spare time she sells jewelry .... class trip will be most thrilling ... “Never can tell” p.

S.” With the Junior year came more exciting events. Early in the fall you could see flashing on every hand of the Junior class something bright and shiny. A closer observation revealed the wonderful, uncomparable class rings. A ring was also purchased for James Frick. The presentation of “The Baby Sitter” killed two birds with one stone. The first was displaying our ability to act or at least try and the second to enlarge our receipts. These receipts helped us sponsor “The Cin- derella Ball,” which was held at the Elks Club in Findlay.
