SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It seems like only yesterday that the freshmen girls entered Fra: .er and the boys started in at B.H.S. But come to think of it, it was back in 1942 and four years ago to boot. We had a lot of good times that year. Looking back our class presidents were Jean Hall and Ralph Dellinger. The girls gave a wonderful play for the Mother's Club entitled Men Are Such Fools and the boys started off with a bang in sports with Earle Moergen and Joe Olderworth on the B team. Yes, we participated pretty much in school activities for little green freshmen and besides all this, just think of all the pounds the girls lost walking all that distance. In our sophomore year we were once more together and thus we began our joint three year term. It was a gallant year for basketball with Grace, Roth, Moergen, Olderworth. Payne, Peterson and Webster on the B team. And we musn't forget the musicians in '43 and '44. Patience Dayton. Jean Hall, Bettie Harkins, Dorothy Kerby, Arden Mueller, Christina Slow. Frank Roth, Jack Laytham and Bob Bauersachs. All were members of the band and all members of the choir and Glee Club. Our class flourished under the leadership of our presidents, Jack Truesdell and Marilyn Strebler. That year we had a dance, which is something strange for sophomores. We called it the Sadie Hawkins Dance, and it was quite a success. All the girls asked the boys and gave them corsages of onions, cigarettes. and all sorts of vegetables. A lot of us formed the Buzz Staff and the paper was again in full swing. We joined the Red Cross, and had a benefit dance. The basketball team flourished with Ray Webster and Earle Moergen turning out excellent team- work. Our class presidents were Marianna Magner and Russ Michener. Our class enjoyed many other achievements that brought about the distinction of our being one of the best Junior classes ever in B.H.S., from our record. But of all the things we accomplished, perhaps the Prom was the best. It was at the Congress Hotel, May 28, 1945: the orchestra was one of the best. Even though it rained slightly, it was a memorable occasion that will be sacred in our memories. In 1945 we entered as seniors, freckled and brown, from the long after- noons in the sun. It seemed strange at first to be the oldest ones in the school. but we soon became accustomed to it. In September we had a welcoming dance for the underclassmen. The basketball team was practically all seniors and the yearbook when finally gotten out was worth all the work put into it. All through the year we were waiting anxiously for graduation to hurry and come, but when May 29th finally rolled around our hearts were heavy for we knew that this was the last time the whole class would be together and silently wished that we could begin all the good times over again, and could start again as freshmen in 1946. -17--.
