CLASS If you could turn back the hands of time four years to i950 we could see an excited clan entering high school. We had a very large class and, for the first time, Bethesda had four freshman home rooms with Miss Brogden, Mr. Smith, Mr. Farrow, and Mrs. David- son, as our teachers. Being in high school was quite a new experience, but the initiation week made us feel at home in our new surroundings. Then came the big day for our physical examinations at the Health Department. We got back to school at lunch time but no one seemed to be hungry. I wonder if the hotdogs we had in town had anything to do with that. We enioyed our health classes this year be- cause we had an opportunity to go out and play ball. This was much better than sitting in class. We had a very nice trip to Pullen Park, especially since our grade parents supplied us with all the food we could eat. We managed to pull through algebra and science and to go on to the tenth grade with Mr. Davis and Mrs. Newton as our teachers. By this time, we were attending the county football and basketball games and some of our boys were already on the teams, This year was the beginning of having Bethesda cheerleaders, and we had many of our girls on the squad. Our Bethesda basketball team, coached by Mr. Davis, was the county champion. We were very proud of our boys because they worked hard for this honor. We had an interesting algebra ll class, and we shall never forget the stu- dents taking a test on a special kind of paper. As Juniors, our home room teachers were Miss Huey and Mrs. Lemos. At last we felt important. We can look back on this year with pride because o' our successful play, Zeke and Daisy, directed by gEseARCt'l
