Max Rose, treasurer Maxine Markley, secretary ur Years In Review g oo Now that we, the class of '39, have reached that time when we are the all-important, awe- inspiring seniors, we look back at our years of lesser importance and recall the days when we were scared freshiesf' It was theen that Daniel Harsh as our president led us through our first trying year, aided by Georgia Burgan as vice-president, Roger Miller as secretary, Bill Hiatt as treasurer, and Roger Saw- yer as member of the athletic council. That year we held a party at the old Cherry Street Gym, and what a time we had! We had a grand march and everyone tried awfully hard to have for his part- ner that certain boy or girl. Lois Shepherd and Don Harris, Jr., won us scholastic honors, Lois placing first and Don fourth in the state algebra contest. At the beginning of our second year we felt quite grown up, for we had the freshies to look down upon! We strode through the halls of B. H. S. with ease and assurance, never going to the wrong classrooms or falling down the stairs. Letty Williamson was our president that year, with Martha Cline, Vice-president, Ruth Grandlienard,secretaryg Laurel Kinsey, treasurerg Ralph Brin- neman, member of the athletic council. Don Harris, Jr., again won laurels by placing second in the state geometry contest. We had a big carnival with bingo booths, for tune tellers, fish ponds, and even a Mickey Mouse movie. Our last activity as sophs was a party at Joe Biberstine's, We were juniors-upperclassmen, at last! We were coming into our own! Our class play Little Miss Fortune was a real success, as was evidenced by the hearty applause of those who at- tended. Laurel Kinsey, Martin Tonner, Bill Fryback, Bill Hixon, and Joe Biberstine brought us recognition on the athletic field. We elected Bill Starr, vice-president, Lois Shepherd, secretary, Ruthanna Knoff, treasurer, and Bob Banrthouse, athletic council. We entertained the seniors ro yally at the junior-senior reception which was the climax of our social life as juniors. Theen, the class of '38 left us and we reigned supreme as the Seniors of '39, with Roger Sawyer as president, Laurel Kinsey as vice-president, Maxine Markley as secretary, Max Rose as treas- urerg and Robert Barnthouse as member of the athletic council. The year was filled with many memories for us all: having our senior pictures taken, our trip to Indianapolis, attending court, all are high-lights of this year. Our class was we ll-represented on the football squad and in bas- ketball we proved our athletic ability by having an all-senior team, Our senior play, Growing Pains, gave us a chance to forget our dignity once more and react our days of youth. The dances sponsored at the gym were loads of fun. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors alike attended. The juniors entertained the seniors at a lovely reception on May 12. Now our final year is finished and on May 26, we are graduated. 16
