On the first day of our high- school career we all felt a little awed and dizzy when we saw the upperclassmen rushing to classes; however we soon re¬ gained confidence. We had a class party at Hal¬ lowe’en time and a hay ride to the State Forest. It was the week before the basketball games started that we got on our toes and began selling booster buttons. We made ex¬ actly $50. We think that’s pretty good for us. With the aid of our wonderful sponsors, Mr. Templin, Mr. Dubois, and Mr. Larmore, we have enjoyed every day of our “green year” of high school. Smooth skating for the future was assured for the Freshmen Class when they chose Dick Gilliom, pres¬ ident; Jean Miller, treasurer; Sue Markley, vice president; Diann Brickley, secretary; and Bill Kyle, athletic council.

September 7. On this opening school day, the Freshmen found their lockers impen¬ etrable, and the upper classmen dis¬ covered new faculty members. September 14. The Y-Teen formal initiation was made impressive by candlelight and angel robes. September 18. With a Decatur victory to our sea¬ son’s record, our Tigers donned their shoulder pads to meet the South Side Archers, only to be defeated in a hard-fought contest. September 21. Some students thought that all Bedlam had broken out, but the weird creatures in the halls were only long suffering Hi-Y initiates. September 28. Wheel Street Fair is here and we’re off to the gaily lighted midway with a friend. October 1. Columbia City rooters saw their team bow in defeat to the victorious Bluffton squad. October 8. The Bluffton eleven again showed their ability to be rough and tough as they calmly left the Warsaw team in the dust. October 26. Backed by the Bluffton Tigers, Coach Dubois and Dick Bowman schemed to slaughter the Wabash gridders. Too bad they didn’t succeed. November 2. The civics and economics classes held “Presidential” elections today. The Allen Poll proved to be more accurate than the Gallup Poll. November 5. The Seniors actually proved them¬ selves to be sedate by presenting a more civilized production, “The Fight¬ ing Littles,” than their Junior efforts. November 10. Today the members of the Booster Club selected Betty Sprunger, Gerry Worthman, Jean Miller, and Connie Costello as our 1949 yell leaders. November 19. The Columbia City Eagles were all a flutter when the Tigers “defeathered” them in a close game on the C. C. floor. December 3. The Juniors take a day to “blind” B. H. S. students with their bright, new class rings. December 6. In convocation today Lieutenant F. C. Whittaker held the student body spell¬ bound with his grim but humorous tale of his thirty days on a raft in the Pacific. December 12. Flickering candles and blending voices heralded the opening of the annual Christmas Cantata.
