Senior Members of the Cast ® Through the chill winds of Novem- ber, the Seniors combined civic duty and class profit by collecting scrap and selling it. Time passed quickly. Announce- ments were ordered and caps and gowns were fitted in preparation for C-Day. At Baccalaureate exercises and Commencement exercises, the Sen- iors listened carefully to the words of those who counselled them. When they turned their tassels, they real- ized they were now a part of the adult world.

The cost in daily life. Retrospect has presented your life for one school year. The people, the places, and the events that have made these months some- thing special for you. The custodians who have kept the building and equipment clean and comfortable — the bus drivers who have transported you safely to and from school — the students who helped you — the class proj- ects and the too big sweatshirt — the cele- brations when the Tigers won — all these make up the program which you took part in at BHS. We ' ll remember these years forever. You will probably remember 1958 as the year the Tigers won the Regional. Remember the magician who had a Chinese laundryman — Big Chief Keane — the cheerleaders ' cos- tumes — the funny little guy with baggy britches? You will have to agree that the programs presented at BHS really took the cake in ' 58! M oKSP ' .
