Not Finished; Just Begun After waiting six wonderful, happy but sometimes sad, and fleeting years, we, the class of 1962, have achieved the goal, “Seniors”. Our high school days have been worth while and will never be forgotten. We will always fondly remember those moments during a football game, up town after the dance, or the happy or thoughtful moments during a certain club meeting. We will carefully cherish the memories of our seventh and eighth grade years filled with new adventures and excitement, and also the thrill of being officially called high school students during our freshman year when we were given the privilege of choosing our own subjects. When, as sophomores, we received our class rings, we really classed ourselves as important. One of those things which will stand out most was the advancement from the title of “wiggley little rascals” in our seventh grade year to that of “upper classmen” in our Junior year. The last two years have come to be the most important, for we have been striving for our goal, the class trip. In 26 our Junior year we planned and sponsored the Homecoming, ‘Autumn Leaves’; we performed the play, “Have a Date,” and prepared and worried over our Junior-Senior Prom, “Cinderella’s Ball.” Of course, we have had many other projects, basketball concessions, bake sales, cake raffles, car washes, paper drives, and we even made yarn B.HS. dolls when we were sophomores to achieve this goal. Our senior year we have sponsored after the game dances, football game concessions, and the Christmas dance. We have had our Christmas card and our candy sale and have presented the play, “The Sky’s the Limit.” All of our years have been important also in our pre- paring for our futures. We appreciate our teachers’ under- standing and consideration during these precious years. And so, when the names of the members of the class of ’62 are no longer heard, when the halls of B.H.S. silently echo our footsteps, we will recall with fondness these years with the hope that they will help us live up to our motto; “Not finished; just begun.”
