HISTORY In the fall of 1949, some 57 students entered the portals of Bow- ling Green High for the first time as Green Freshmen. We freshmen were new and since we didn't understand the rules and regulations, the upper classmen were only too glad to give us a few pointers in the form of an initiation. After we began to see the light and had acquired some knowledge as to our standing in the school, we elected our officers. They were: President--Wiley Marting Vice-President--Eileen Tinsleyg Secretary--Mary Gentryg, and Treasurer--Jean Ann McPike. Our spon- sors for our Freshman year were Mr. W. E. Elmore and Miss Jeanne Dieckerman. We appreciated their help and wise suggestions. The Freshman class was well represented in the extra curriculum and were well represented on the Student Council by Doris Schmidt and Tommy Dempsey. We had for our Penny Carnival candidates: Helen Caldwell and Frank Brown. As a whole our first year was very successful and it was with proud minds that we returned the next fall as full-fledged Soph omores. For our Sophomore year, 54 of the original 57 enrolled and we had the same old gang to share our fun, our work and our school-days. The sponsors this year were Mr. A. E. DeVilbiss and Miss Mary Beth Duncan. We chose our officers which were: Helen Caldwell as Presi- dent, Shirley Moore as Vice-President, Evelyn Conrad as Treasurer and Jo Anne Fitzsimmons as Secretary. Again our class was well rep- resented in social activities and our candidates for the Penny Carnival were Eileen Tinsley and Billy Bob Bouyea. Jean McPike and J. L. Raney were our Student Council :representatives and Jean McPike re- ceived the Sophomore Pilgrimage award as the most outstanding Soph- omore student. We were now wise and finished our second year at B.G. We enrolled for our Junior year 48 strong and then faced the new and various tasks for the Junior class. We elected our officers as fol- lows: Jean McPike as Presidentg Shirley Moore as Vice-President: Shirley Alloway as Secretary, and Eileen Tinsley as Treasurer. We had the same sponsors. One of the greatest tasks we were faced with was a Junior-Senior Banquet and as we made plans for it, we decided to use the Underwater theme. Our Junior play was entitled A Ready-Made Family. The cast included: Jean McPike , J. L. Raney, Mary Brandon, Evelyn Conrad , Betty Howdeshell , Jo Anne Fitzsimmons, Emmett Good- in, Shirley Moore, Russelllsowery and Wiley Martin. Our Penny Car- nival candidates were Wilmer Wendel and Peggy Chamberlain. As we closed our books for the last time that year we realized that we would return as Seniors and the oldest class in school.' Now,for the last and most dear year, the Senior Year. We de- cided to have a Senior trip and started early in the year to save money for this event. We selected Chicago as our destination. We chose our officers and started to work. Our officers were Shirley Moore , Presi- dentg Carolyn Turner , Vice-Presidentg Shirley Alloway. Secretaryg and Peggy Chamberlain as Treasurer. Our class was again well represented inthe activities and we fared well throughout the last year. Our Student This page sponsored by: Pike County Abstract Co.
