Nothing but quiet- ness has she shown. MARJORIE A. STORY Snuffle Just too timid, make herself known too timid to ■ With husky voice. That voice of his is really rare. And dark brown STANLEY STONE Rocky hair. Fifty-eight eager boys and girls entered the chambers of B.H.S. to spend four memorable years in the fall of 19 0. On our freshman Initiation day, we were the originators of the girls tug- o-war and were victorious. Quentin Greening led us through this green year and Mr. Greenlee was our advisor. With a loss of eleven students forty-seven returned for our second term. Our most important event this year was the party we gave for the freshmen. Although young as we were our class was well represented In the hall monitors and student teachers plan. With The Mystery In Blue as our Junior play we topped all profit making records. Mrs. King deserves an equal share of the credit due to our success. The week following of the play her home was a mad house of Juniors. We pre- sented her with twin floor lamps. We were the first class to make a large profit as the Juniors who served at the Firemen's Ball. In the spring we placed before our guests, the sen- iors an enjoyable dinner. Roy Hills was a very capable president for this year. At last it is here. We came back in the fall of 19 3 bo be the dignified seniors we have heard so much about. Little did we know what this year held in store for many of us. At the beginning of this year we had already lost a lot of fellow classmen to the service. During the year Clayton Wolfgang was called by Uncle Sam. Quentin Greening and Stanley Stone enlisted and are waiting for their orders. Many of the others are registered and will leave in the summer. But the first time we began to think ourselves as seniors was in October when we »11 came dressed to be Shot by Craine. We attended a banquet as guests of the alumni for the first time in No- vember. After which Freddie Blackherst's orchestra of Midland furnished music for the annual Junior and Senior dance. December 3rd brought forth a successful production of The Green Light. We were again under the direction of Mrs. King. We fooled them again, when about two months ahead of all the other skip days, we showed up in Jackson Prison instead of School. Much to the surprise of the teachers we were «11 present the next day. In May the tide was turned we were on the receiving end at the Junior and Senior banquet. The 28th of May brought about Baccalaureate Services, on June 1st we closed our books of B.H.S. forever.

C?la33 flxophecij I am the spirit of the class of 1944. I am divided into thirty-one different parts. It has been ten years since I've been all together. I think I'll have a reunion and get myself back together. Let me see. I'm really scattered around. There's a part of me in Saginav News. Its Roy Hills editor of the Saginav Nevs. And just ten years ago he was peddling that same paper in Breckenridge. The Manager of the Children's Charity Clinic is Marjorie Allen. Doris Millbaugh spends her nights there as head nurse. Well here I am way out Wpst in Texas. This part of me is Earl Peterson, owner and operator of Peterson's Dude Ranch. Dr. La Busch (alias Wayne Busch) is spending a few weeks here with his old friend. And here in New York City I see my artistic portion owning an art studio. Gloria set this with the money received from her last Capen Masterpiece. Here also is John Pookes. It is plain to see that John has mended his ways since he left my body and is manager for a New York Stock Ex- change. The last part of me I find in New York is Carol McCallum, principal Instructor of music at the Irving Berlin Music Foundation. Now for a look over Washington, D.C. Who's this?? Luther Greening, still arguing, but now among the Congressmen. Erra Little and husband, I see are now manufacturing Clark Candy Bars in St. Louis, Mo. In Pensicola, Florida I see Stanley Stone still in the Air Corps instructing green cadets. Vera Hackett is a R.N. at Ford's Hospital in Detroit. Also in Detroit I see Ruth Hall conducting a nurses aide class. And at the Michigan State College I see Gale Wheeler, State F.F.A. President. Also there is Walter Zajac developing scientific farming ideas for the youth of America engaged in farming. Marjorie Story is Merrill's leading beautician. Margaret Easlick has taken over her mother's greenhouse in Brecken- ridge. And I see Bob Schall's Bump Shop. Having his own car bumped out; got to be such an expense that he thought it the practical thing to buy a shop of his own. And at my dear old home I see Norma Spaulding is teaching history. She accepted this position after Mr. Hicks retired. The largest and best beauty salon in town is the High Curls owned by Betty Hills. Quentin Greening is now junior partner in the Greening Oil Company and devoted husband of Betty Hillock. I though they would stay close by. To my surprise I see Vernalda Good finally landed a man and has two children. Just a little bit south of Peaville I see Georgia Lee Yates now mother of four pair of twins. Well on her way to the goal set of ten pair. Next I see Rathbone. Anna Muscott is still carrying on her book- keeping and secretarial job. But not at Roth's anymore, it now is Weaver Farm, Inc. North of Breckenridge I see Ruby Posey, milk maid and co-owner of the Carter Dairy. Now lets see, is roll all taken? Oh no, over near Ithaca I see Lillian Curtis spending her time taking care of Alvin Zimmerman, Jr. Down in old Wheeler I see Milo Strong toiling away on his farm. Jean Pothier secretary of the Sunshine Biscuit Co. In Saginaw was operated on by Emiley Horvat a surgeon at the hospital in Ann Arbor. Well, who would ever think I'd get strung all over the United States. Well it just goes to show, I was always little, but mighty.
