THE PIONEER Senior Section We Look Into Our Past In .January, 1925, thirty-eight verdant and trembling: Freshmen took up their abode in that awful assembly. The names of these trembling, but daring, explorers were: Charles Martin, I,avone Hemenway, Edith Miles. Katherine Meyers, Charles Ferguson, Karl Simpson, Henry (load, Harold Griffith, John H. Whittinghill, Anna Mae Lockwood, Mabel Trent per, Kdna Rin- kel. lone Youngblood, Evelyn Barnes, Cievia Shaul, Nada Stines, Wilma Spradley, Wilma Cole- man, Margaret Huston, Ruth Folsom, Minnie Willett, Laverm Bros hears, Dorothy Traylor, Beryl Mills, Althais Jeffries, Jessie Robertson, Florence Pace, Louise Sanders, Thelma Large, Ruth Martin, Bessie Campbell, Thomas Youngblood, Charles Marshall, Ray Fuller, Gerald Hay, Samuel Koerner, Everett Mason, and Cecil McKinney. They were content to go along unorganized the first semester. After a summer's vacation they chose Ray Fuller as their President. Mr. Ott was class sponsor. During this year they were exposed to Caesar. They came, they saw, they were conquered.” Geometry proved a Waterloo to many others. When a new autumn brought the class back to school as 10 A’s about half the class had miraculously disappeared. Some had failed: more ambitious ones had jumped ahead, others had deliberately discontinued all efforts to gain a high school education. This was their last year of separate organization. To work more harmoniously and efficiently in serving the Junior-Senior banquet the Janu- ary and May classes were organized together during the junior year. ' When an accounting was made for the class as seniors, five were discovered who still bore the flag of the unfortunate mid-year class of '29. They were Ray Fuller, John H. Whittinghill, George Day, Bessie Campbell, and Florence Pace. This quintet left school with many regrets, but with best wishes for a bright future for B. H. S. In the fall of year '25 a group of students, forty-five in number, entered B. H. 8. We ranged in size from tall and slender to short and fat. We entered B. H. S. with the color green, hut expected the school to help us change our color as we advanced through our classes. In the freshmen year our girls and boys did not come out v.-ry strong on athletics. We had too much to do in getting acquainted with the school. In our second year of high school we were able to hold up our heads and look the freshmen in the face. This year Helen Lowell, Kathryn Meyer, and Ruth Taylor came out for basketball with Katie Meyer making the team. She started making baskets early. Gerald Hay, Chester Werry, Ed- gar Baum, Charles Kinder. Cecil McKinney and Jarrett Roth held up the reputation of our sophomore class in football. The officers of our sophomore class were Gerald Hay. president, and Edgar Baum, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsor was Miss Bring. Our class was neither increased or decreased in number when we moved on into our third year of high school. In our junior year we had much to do. We had to give the annual Jun- ior-Senior Banquet to the seniors! Oh, to be seniors! They were the stars to whom we had hitched our carts and intended to follow after. We sold theme paper and candy so that we could entertain the seniors and give them enough to eat at the banquet. The seniors seemed to enjoy everything, but were we glad when it was over? At least we could be reconciled by the thought that next year somebody else had to take that trouble for us.' This year two of our classmates. Lenora Bufkins and John Henry Whittinghill, entered debating. The officers Mildred Donnelly, president, John H. Whittinghill, vice-president, and Edgar Baum, secretary- treasurer. Edgar must take good care of our money. Our sponsors and helpers were Miss Youngblood, Miss Bateman, and Mr. Goerlitz. This is our last year of school! Are we glad? All the underclassmen who have seen the way we rushed everything through know the answer to that question. We at last are able to look down on the underclassmen and think over “Ye Good Olde Da yes,” when we were in the same classes. Our class play was the climax of our career. It bore the tempting name The Whole Town’s Talking.” An account of its cast and unusual success can be found in another part of The Pioneer.” Now as the close of our school days approaches, our joy is tinged with regret. We cast a lingering look backward on the pleasant days and pleasant ways of our “Pioneer” school. May Class B. H. S. 1929 Page Eight
