CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, as the fiag was raised, we found that the class of 51 had 30 members ready to begin the long race. Although the racers felt a bit green at this new thing, the more experienced Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors made them feel at home and their class sponsor, Mr. Smith, carried them through the year. The officers that paved the way for the others the following years were as follows: President-Gene Freshour, Vice President- Marion Yohn, Secretary - Ann Godshalk, and Treasurer-Donna Miller. On October third they weren't quite so speedy as they assembled in the Gym for the usual initiation program but the skat- ing party that night made up for it. The second quarter found 28 members again filing into place. Although some were new the class lost a few members also. The class, feeling quite a bit bigger, was more active this year. They put on a talent show in the fall in which the whole class participated. Also they had the usual Sophomore magazine sale in which they gained quite a few pennies for their piggy bank. The racers decided that in order to keep warm they should all have sweaters alike and so they, being the first class in B.H.S. to do it, ordered class sweaters. The officers and directors were as follows: Sponsors-Miss Van Harlingen and Mr. Bloomingdale, President- Dennis Smith, Vice President-Pat Wayne, Secre- tary-Donna Miller, Treasurer-Marion Yohn, and Reporter-Gene Freshour. The race, being only half way through in 49 , had only 25 in the line up. Mrs. Whiteman and Mr. Graham were willing to lead our class that year. The officers were: President-Paul Raber, Vice Pres- ident-Dennis Smith, Secretary-Darlene Artley, Treasurer-Marion Yohn, and Reporter-Dan Cul- veyhouse. This year students were beginning to take a few more responsibilities, such as the class play, Calamity Kids, given on April 13, 1950, work on school paper, and Junior and Senior Prom. Of course they also had to pick our rings, and in Jan- uary, when news had gotten around the school that they had come, you never saw such a race for the Junior home room in your life. On June 2nd the class once more left the track to refuel with sunshine and vigor so they would be ready to finish the last lap of the race. The racers came back on September 5th, 1950, for the final lap of that long race. They were just as full of pep and much more at home than they were three years ago when they were just little green girls and boys not knowing what four years ahead of them would bring. They decided they would give the Freshmen, as well as the teachers a rest from initiation this year. With the twenty-one stu- dents surviving, an additional student, Guenther Wiedmann from Germany, entered the race. The five that were willing to lead the others this last year were Paul Raber-President, Gene Freshour- Vice-President, Donna Miller-Secretary, Pauline Bontrager-Treasurer, and News Reporter-Stan- ley Miller. The class was glad to have a rest for two days to pick apples. Even though they had rainy weather one day they still had fun getting stuck in trees and a little silly on cider. Under the direction of their class sponsors, Mrs. Cripe and Mr. Thompson, they presented their class play, Time of Their Lives, on December 15th. As the twenty-two contestants crossed the finish line, all being able to keep in the race, they re- ceived their diplomas and felt the race very worth while.
