SENIOR HISTORY IN 1943 we began our high school career as verdant Freshmen. President and Vice-President for this year were Phil Morrison and Mary Lou Fox. We were wisely counseled on the duties of high school students by our class advisor, Miss Marjorie Cornell. Miss Cornell left us in the middle of the year and we honored her at a farewell dinner given in the school cafeteria. Mrs. Woodin was then elected as our advisor for the remainder of the term. On Valentine Day our class held an informal dance which was the social highlight of our Freshman year. This dance made history because it was the first one ever held in B. C. S. by a Freshman class. We also packed waste papers to be sold to the government to aid in the emergency paper drive. Thus ended the first successful high school year for the class of '47. We faced being Sophomores with high hopes and ambitions. Miss Eberl was class advisor and she is to be commended for a job well done. The President and Vice-President were Wayne Elliott and Shirley Walters. Due to the fact that our country was still involved in World War II, many of our social activities were curtailed. However, the class had a weiner roast which was a great success. Each week every member of the class purchased War Saving Stamps and contributed to the Red Cross and other war activities. Many of us volunteered to roll bandages and pack boxes for servicemen overseas. This year was brought to an eventful close by a picnic at Cuba Lake. Our Junior year added many more successful events to our already impressive list. Class officers included Phil Morrison, President; Craig Pllatt, Vice-President; Mary Lou Fox, Secretary, and Anna Italiano, Treasurer. Miss Lewis was elected as class advisor. The first part of the year was spent in earning money in preparation for the many class activities of the second term. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on February 15, 1946, with beautiful and unusual decorations. It was an event long to be remembered by all who attended. The J unior Play, One Mad Night, under the direction of Mr. Louis Coplai, was presented April 4. The play was a mystery farce of three acts and was immensely enjoyed by the public. The tank fight between the Junior and Senior boys was the next event with the Juniors emerging victorious. This was followed by the Junior-Senior banquet. The theme was baseball, with Craig Platt acting as toastmaster. It proved to be another hit for our class. Our very successful Junior year kindled high ambitions with which to start our final year. To lead us this year we chose for officers, Marjorie Presher, President; Malcolm Claflin, Vice-President; and Janet Foster, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. McMahon was elected class advisor. A Hallowe'en skating party opened our social season. In order to aid the Gusher fund, Miss Lewis assisted us in presenting a repeat performance of our Junior Play, One Mad Night, at Portville. The Senior Play, the Junior-Senior Prom, the traditional tank fight and the banquet completed our memorable school years which we feel have prepared us for our great burdens and responsibilities of this Atomic Age.
