CLASS HISTORY It was the Fall of 1943 when the Senior Class of '47 began its journey on the ol' ship B. H. S. Going up on the gang plank was Admiral Ethel Hunter followed by her staff: Phyllis Bechtel, acting officer, Pete Bojanich, assistant, Eugene Smith, secretary, and Bruce Smith, treasurer. It started off with fifty members on board knowing nothing of the bad weather and rough seas ahead. It was early in the season that the seniors gave us the thrill of our lives when they initiated us and showed us how green we really were. After many hard months of study, we docked our ship for four months to do some things we had been longing to do after having been over some pretty rough seas. Finally the crew was ready to shove off, so we all went aboard under the leadership of Miss Van Harlingen. After getting out from shore with nothing to bother us, we held a meeting to elect another staff, of which Art Kane was chosen acting ofiicer and Carol Hermace to assist him. Bruce Smith was advanced to secretary, while Pete Keller consented to act as purser. Our ship had a very busy and eventful voyage in 1945-46 under the Admiral- ty of Mr. Thompson and with Helen Cathcart at the helm. Her assistant was Art Kane, with Margaret Blood, secretary and Ralph Hemund, the keeper of the funds. Our first exciting shore leave was to stage the carnival, which netted the treasury a sizable sum. While on shore we ran into a man selling rings who took our sizes and order. We set sail again as we had to keep traveling on to complete our voy- age in the four years. It was drawing nigh to the end of the third year and we docked once more. To honor the graduating class, whose places we were soon to occupy, we decided to give them a prom. Funds were raised by giving the play, 'tShe's My Daisy . The man with the rings met us just before we set sail again and gave us something to be very proud of, for it showed how far we had advanced.

Mildred Schieber Page 15 CLASS PROPHECY Today I visited the Radio Station Future Class of l947 . The first thing I saw was the program You Name It, We Play It with Helen Cathcart's orchestra. I recognized her first clarinetist, Mary Ostrom, and the guitar player, Maxine Mech- ling. Their pretty singer Mildred Schieber sang a new song composed by Helen herself. After this program Art Kane, the announcer, had to cut in and state that the radio operator, Porter Bechtel, had fallen asleep and he would attempt to waken him. Ah! He had success at last and on with the programs. . The next program was t'Nancy Raberis Home Hour Show . On this, two of our modern house wives, Winifred Schooley and Joy Nifong, were interviewed This program was sponsored by Phyllis Beven's famous Beauty Salon and Charm School in the large city of Bristol. The next fifteen minutes was a talk by a professional Artist, Dorlisca Schouten, which proved quite interesting. Then it was time to go to dinner. I went to the famous John Tomlonson's Dinner Hour Program. After a delicious meal had been served the program went on the air. Leah Thompson, his helper, started the program by singing the theme song Eat At John's . Then John went around interviewing different folks. The first person he talk- ed to was a nurse, Margaret Blood, who is the head of a large hospital in Bris- tol. Then he stopped to chat with a housewife, Dorothy Fleming, who, he discov- ered, was raising a large family. It was time for the commercial and they had the glamorous sponsor there in person, Dorothy Conover, who has the Ritz 5th Avenue Shop For Ladies. Next was the Wishing Ring Time. The lucky person was a Powers Model Mari Wetzel. We didn't know what else she could wish for. Then John interviewed William Miller, Jr., and his wife, the former Marilyn McClure. They were just visiting in the vicinity. Next to them sat Carol Her- mance, editor of the large newspaper, The Bristol Tribune, whom I recognized at once. Page 16 John then spun the wheel to see who the out of town guest would be. It stopped at the state of Michigan, so I popped up and said that I knew a person there and gave him Helen Landis's name. She had achieved her great ambition of being a trim housewife. The program was over and I had enjoyed myself immensely. I decided to go back to the Station and hear that famous Crooner, Ralph Hemund. Ralph had certainly beaten the old singers, Crosby and Sinatra. I heard fifteen minutes of the latest Sport's News, by Pete Keller. I was about to leave when I noticed that the great Professor George Sutton was about to go on the air. He talked on the latest Scientific Inventions. Staying this long I had to stay and hear those two great comedians, Gene Smith and Blaine Tubbs, who had taken over the Bud Abbott and Lou Costello show. The program really was a hit! I then went home and knew that I had spent a very enjoyable day with Fut- ure Class of 19473' Say! I believe I'll write my next article for the Magazine I work for on The Success of My Classmates . ' Phyllis Bechtel S520 CLASS HISTORY Continued from Page 10 Under the skeptical eyes of Miss Van Harlingen our dreadnaught battled through 1946-47, having some casualties, but ending after giving a well-presented play, This Genius Business , after selling tons of popcorn and apples at the ball games and after struggling through civics, physics, bookkeeping, etc. We were very lucky indeed to have a man from Lockridge Studio come to take our pictures We were very well pleased with them. As it was soon time for us to come back to the port from which we had left, we started our homeward journey. Because most of the members on board liked to sing, we were all ready to sing at our own Baccalaureate. We docked on May 6th at about 8 p. m., and as we walked down the gang plank, 26 serious seamen were presented their diplomas. These diplomas representing honorable discharges from the good ship B. H. S., were welcomed by everyone. Some hope to go on to a much larger ship and all realize that the seas ahead will not always be calm. Maxine Mechling Page 17 l. 2. 3. 4, 5. 6. 7.

The team was very inexperienced having lost all of the regular players but three. Junior Miller, returned veteran of the war, was the leading hitter with a batting average of .322. Those who are graduating this year are: Junior Miller, Pete Kel- ler, Ralph Hemund, Gene Smith, Art Kane, and Blaine Tubbs. The Bristol Pirates Basketball team came up this season with 8 wins and 12 losses. They scored two upsets during the season, one being against Millersburg and the other being against Lapaz, which was an overtime. The toughest loss of the year was dealt out to us by Jimtown. After being behind 16 to 7 at the half, the pirates came up to give the Jimmies a scare but couldn't quite win. The score of that game was 41 to 39. At the end of the season Gene Smith managed to come out high point man with 199 points. Gene also won the most valuable player award presented by the Lions Club. The Seniors who will not return to the squad next year are Ralph Hemund, Art Kane, Jr. Miller, and Gene Smith. The Seniors want to express their best wishes to next years team and to those that follow CHEERLEADERS Marilou Bowers Beverly Bolin Colleen Kennedy Page 28 Eugene Smith Art Kane Ralp Kriescher Junior Miller Jerry Carmien Jim Carmien Max Mosier Bill Gayman Ralp Hemund Page 29 Varsity Squad lst row: John Tomlonson, Blaine Tubbs, Student Managers 2nd row: Ralph Kriescher, Ralph Hemund, Wilbur Gayman Jerry Carmlen Jim Carmien 3rd row: Ray Bloomingdale, Coach: Max Mosier, Eugene Smith Art Kane Junior Miller Page 30 SCHEDULE 1946-47 Wakarusa Concord ........

MUSIC DEPARTMENTS This year, due to the large number interested and different class schedules, we have had two Girls' Glee Clubs and two Mixed Choruses. The Senior girls made up one Glee Club and the other three classes the second section. The Mixed Chor- us was divided the same way. A Boys, Glee Club was organized for the first sem- ester only. Both Glee Clubs sang for the Christmas program. The Senior Girls furnished two numbers for the Senior Play and the Senior Mixed Chorus sang at the Baccalaureatte service. A Boys' Quartet, composed of Porter Bechtel, Eugene Smith, Ralph Hemund and John Tomlonson, appeared on numerous occasions. A number of Band members entered the Solo and Ensemble Contest at Fort Wayne on March 29. The Cornet Trio, composed of Carol Blough, Mary Alice Clarke and Eloise Mattix, the Clarinet Quartet, Don Tait, Margaret Blood, Pat Thompson, and Alice Zinn, and a marimba solo by Helen Cathcart won first place honors. A clarinet solo by Don Tait and a cornet solo by Roy Kirkdoffer won second place. Page 36 The Band attended a music clinic at Manchester College on March 21, playing the three numbers that they later played at Contest-L'Queen City , Chimes of Peace , and Noblesse Oblige . At the District Contest at Nappanee on April 12, the Band won first place in Class D making them eligible to enter the State Con- test at Manchester on April 19. The Band gave two splendid concerts during the year, one in February and one in April. Both were very well attended. The Band could not have completed the years so successfully had it not been for the untiring efforts of Mrs. Habegger, the director.
