ACT I—Scene: “Getting caught in some so of mischief.” It was in the fall of 1949 that the presen graduating class started its high school days at B.H.S. We were mere freshmen but we certainly felt big and were an ambitious crew even though we were always in the wrong place or getting caught in some sort of mis¥ chief. There were only thirty-nine of us but we were determined to make our years i B.H.S. a success. We took part in man activities such as glee clubs, band, orchestra} G.A.A., Varsity ‘’B’, boy scouts, F.H.A. and males ACT Il—Scene: “Sort of urged them on.” Then we found ourselves sophomores and by this time we thought we knew everything that was to be learned, in fact, we believed the teachers to be slightly inferior to us but alas! we soon found ourselves to be wrong. And it was so much fun to sit back and watch} the freshmen making mistakes and of course | we sort of urged them on in a few cases. We also had a few more activities such as Hi-Y and Y-Teens. The main highlight of the year) was the receiving of our treasured class rings. ACT IlI—Scene: “Making plans and enjoy- ing every minute of it.” | We returned the next year proud and de- termined juniors and we were so busy mak- ing plans and enjoying every minute of it Some of the boys earned letters in sports. Two members were elected to the national honor society. We presented our class play Tunior Miss” in December, and in May were hosts to the seniors and faculty at the junior senior prom. ACT IV—Scene: A more dignified aggrega-) tion was never seen.” Finally with only thirty-four of the original thirty-nine left, we came to the high rank of seniors and a more dignified aggregation) was never seen in the school. Among our! fund raising projects were bake sales, paper drives, selling Christmas cards, a variety show, and concessions at games. On Sunday May 10 we left on the senior trip to Washington, D. C., and New York City and returned on Friday. Baccalaureate was held on May 17 and commencement was! held on May 21. We, the class of ‘53, wish to thank the faculty for the time and effort they have given us and especially ex- press our gratitude to Mr. Geiger for guiding us through the most wonderful high school year.
