 Jhe .5redhmen entered The Junior Business class listens attentively, as Mrs. Kowal dictates the quiz questions. The Gass of 1959 was created on September 7, 1955, when incoming students from Parsippany-T oy Hills, Lincoln Park, Montville Township, Bconton Township, and the John Hill School in Boonton assembled for the first time at B.H.S. This was Freshmen Orientation Day, designed to help the Freshmen become acquainted with their new environment in high school. With the assistance of the homeroom teachers and a selected committee of upperclassmen, the new su-roundings became more familiar, and the day ended on a pleasant note with refreshments for all in the gym. The selection of an appropriate course of study was an important decision to be made. Facilitated by conferences with the guidance counselor, each student was enrolled in one of the four course offerings:—Scientific for preparation in the field of engineering, College Preparatory for those intending to continue their education, Commercial for those preparing to enter the business world, and General for those with no definite plans for the future. To encourage social adjustments, the Freshman Get-Acquainted Dance was held, and the class adviser, Mr. Wagenhurst, helped the class to organize and to elect class officers. Many organ:zat:ons then opened their member, ship to Freshmen, and the Class of '59 became an active part of school life. To climax their class activities, the Freshmen sponsored the Freshman Show, which served as an outlet for the creative abilities of talented members and as a source of enjoyment for the entire student body.
