advisors. Only a few weeks went by when we were excited about ordering our invitations for graduation. The Josten salesman showed us various types to pick from and the one we chose was liked by everyone. After this we decided to produce a yearbook and things soon got underway for setting it up. Our class was all together until the end of the second month when we lost one of the finest students, Joyce Smith. This decreased our class to seventeen. The middle of November we decided to have our Senior pictures taken by Paul Studio. This was done and later when the proofs were returned some were very good while others as usual brought comments. About this time Cupid again crime around with his arrow and we noticed Betty Maher wearing a diamond. January and the New Year brought many events. The class elected candidates for the DAR good citizenship award and the faculty chose Rosemary Maher. The class started thinking about their class play and plans were placed in motion for a Chieftain benefit variety show. Soon May was here and school was coming to a close. Graduation was just around the corner and everyono was receiving congratulations and gifts, but none of us will forget the sad goodbyes. Then came that exciting day on which we received our diplomas. After that

 The Crazy Mix Up . To the cast as well as the class this proved to be the biggest event put on. We were sure the audience liked it because a record crowd was here and we collected over $200, As the new year rolled around so did thoughts about the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The theme for the decorating was Hawaiian Paradise. This was carried out to fullest extent. Roses, evergreens, flowers, as well as palm plants from the florist made the gym floor more like Paradise than ever before. The delicious menu consisted of orange cocktail, swiss steak, mashed potatoes, string beans, pineapple salad, with jello and cake for dessert. A piano solo and songs by Mr. Bushman were a few of the attractions on the program, Mr, Neil Harrison and his orchestra from Canton furnished the music for dancing after the banquet. The occasion is past, but the memories will linger on forever. As the school year closes we add this up to an unforgettable year at BHS and hope the ones coming near will bring more cherished memories. The fall of 1950, welcomed eighteen Dignified Seniors to BHS, We eagerly got started in electing our class officers as follows: Don Greenfield, Pres- ident; Dave Sheets, Vice-President; Betty Maher, Treasurer; and Gerry Tosh, Secretary. We were glad to see that Mr. Bride and Miss Stewart were back as our class
