Unacquainted as we were with high school procedure, we succeeded in holding our first class meeting. For our officers we chose Jerry Adams as President; Dale McBeth, Vice-President; Norma Powers, Secretary; and LeRoy Burks as Treasurer. Our class advisors were Miss Stigall and Mr. Dittus. The inevitable Freshman Initiation rolled around and with it came laughter for the upper classmen and grief for the “Freshies”. As the end of the school year drew near we made plans for a picnic at Lake Storey. We carried our plans out very successfully. When school reopened in September of 1951, we reached our second stepping stone with just a little more prestige at our command. We elected as our leaders Jerry Adams as President, Norma Powers as Vice-President, Mary Reed as Secretary, and Karen Mulvanev as Treasurer. To advise us in our activities were Mr. Hamman and Mr. Lauderdale. W e initiated the Freshmen with the traditional ceremony given us in our first year. At the “Senior I lop” we were well represented by our King and Queen, Billy Goetze and Karen Mulvanev. Soon after the Senior-sponsored dance we had a class party, consisting of a chili supper followed by a movie in Elmwood. Our class shows its talent by having a sophomore representative in virtually ever extra-curricular organization or activity in school. We, the class of “54”, are anxiously awaiting our entrance into B.H.S. as juniors. We believe next year will be the greatest thus far w and look forward to making it a great success.
