SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The commanding officer celled, Mtensbun end 53 young re- emits fell into the ranks of the B.H.S. Infantry. As we trooped into our first year of high school activities. Captains Dorothy Rhoads and Janes Hall were in commend of our company for our first year. After a tough” initietion at the hands of the upper clessnen we duly acquired the rank of full-fledged high school students. In the spring of 1935 we were feted at a party riven by the Sophomores in our honor, '..lien school was dismissed for the year seven from our company were A.U.O.L. iirly in the fall of 1935 when we returnee as secondyear men or Sophomores a new member Joined our ranks, Malcolm Hilliard. This year we performed the initiation rites on the green Freshmen who had come to B.H.S. to obtain knowledge. The Captaincy for this veer was shared by Malcolm Hilliard and Louise Hook. This was e rather uneventful yeer for us but in the spring we gave e lawn party, at Betty Ceywood’s for the Freshmen which was quite a success. During this yeer nine more privates left our army. The fell of 1936 rolled around and 5 new members enlisted in our ranks after hoving graduated from ..heeler High. Captain Roo- erta Easlick led our troops through the skirmishes for this year. We had Just begun to realize that we would soon be graduating and needing money to take our trip with. T.e launched e campaign be- ginning with the annuel Junior play which was entitled. Spooky Tavern . This wes a success due to the co-operetion of the class as well «a the cest and elso to the fact that it was the first play to be given in our new auditorium. The J-Hop was another ettrection of the year. The gymnasium was a prettily decorated garden and soft music was furnished by Ed Irvin and his Bandoliers.” Even if we dion't make a lot of money on the dance we all had a good time. Later on in the year the Juniors had a Roller Skating Party at Crystal Leke for the infantrymen. As our third year in high school drew to a close three more of our troops had left ua leaving an enlistment of 46. Our final year at B.H.S. was very successful, especially from an athletic standpoint. Twelve boys from our ranks won glory for thenselves and our school by their combat on the football grid- iron end besketbell floor. Kenneth Barton tma burdened with the responsibility of commanding our forces for this lest yeer end he did a good Job of it. This class which has always been known for individuality scored again by not giving the traditional formal Senior Prom. They gave e dence but it was an informal effeir with Sin Allen's Orchestra furnishing the music. The Seniors presented their annual play, this time, The Yellow Shadow to a large audience on Lterch 30, 1938. Ur. Ray Swenk deserves crecit ffrrtthe excellent performance. June draws near end we expect to graduate soon. We will be the second largest class to graduate from Breckenridge High School and the first class for some years pest to graduate in caps end gowns. Company ebout face! I DISMISSED'. 11 10
