CL SS HI TUBY Listen my friends while I relate The history of the Class of '48, Early in September, year 1944 Thirty-four Freshmen entered the door At Bristol High, Indiana State. Some were short and some were tall But quality was the trait of all. Some were serious, others full of fun, Their high school career was just begun. With Ethel Hunter to smooth the hump, President was Ralph Kreischer, Vice President, June Stump. Jack Wood was secretary of this new class And Treasurer, Vivian Foreman, a bonnie lass. The main event of this first year Was the initiation, they had been told to fear, But when this was over, and a party returned They knew their place was truly earned. And they were now an important part, Accepted by upper-classmates, and just as smart. Numbering thirty-five when Sophomores they became They continued on their way to fame, With Mrs. Paulson to see them through There was nothing to hard for this class to do. Flora North was the President they chose, Vice President, Harry Hedges, kept them on their toes, Secretary, Sue Blood, had the activities to re- cord, And Treasurer, John Long, held the line they could afford. Study and hard work seems the sophmores lot, Much is learned, but soon forgot. Time flies, and again it was September, Twenty-nine returned, as I remember, In 1946-47 to Juniors be Adding a branch on the knowledge tree. This was to be an eventful year, So Mr. Thompson, whom they all hold dear, Was chosen to counsel and guide their wayg Over-see the Carnival and coach the play. Officers elected were President, Sue Blood, Vice President, Ralph Kreischer, a sportsman good, Secretary, John Long with the curly hair, And Treasurer, Colleen Kennedy, a maiden fair. The Junior Play, The Daffy Dills Was full of fun with stunts and thrills. The carnival was a huge success, Netting a profit and pleasing the guests. They decided then, Before the Senior Class de- parts, Let's give them a prom in the building of Four Art's.' On April 25 in Elkhart City, nearby, The best time ever to give them we will try. Then they realized the Junior year was o'er And of high schol they had just one year more. Twenty-two Seniors entered in the fall To make the last year the best one of all. Officers elected were President, John Long, Vice President, Don Kane, handsome and strong, Secretary, Harold Roth, they could depend on him, Vivian Foreman as Treasurer gave the vigor and vim. As sophisticated Seniors, they felt quite elated, But found much work their superiors had creat- ed. Initiate the Freshmen, concessions at basketball games to sell, Edit the Hilltopper Herald , and the Annual as well. In all school activities this class was on hand, Some played basketball, and others were in the band. All did their part to make the year a success, None were satisfied with less than the best. Stunt Susie Shoots The Works , a mystery play, Presented April 16, was a success in every way. In the closing days of school the usual things came to pass, The prom by the Juniors and Commencement at last. Surrounded by the class colors of maroon and white, They received their diplomas that memorable night. The motto, Before us lies the timber-let us build, Challenged them with dreams, still to be ful- filled. Though high school days were finished, life was just begun, And the start in dear old Bristol would help its course to run. This ends my story of the class of '48. Let good fortune be their fate, May they be true to their good name Their memory linger in the Bristol Hall of Fame. By - Sue Blood Page 15
