To the Student body, and class of “S3”. Since graduating in “51“ I have been employed as announcer at Radio Station W 1BC in Bloomington, Illinois. My work consists of reading the commercials that people dislike so, reading new scasts, and doing record shows. And of the three 1 enjoy the latter most. Right about now you, the class of “53“ fee! the way we the class of 51 did when we graduated. Or I suppose you do. The feeling that after looking over your days in high school, you find that by and large you enjoyed it all. The bad and the good. And that is the way it is when you’re out of school, you’ve got to take the good with the bad. bon't let the bad get you down, and don’t let the good go to your head. They say your career starts when you graduate. I think they arc wrong. It starts the day you enter the first grade, and never quite stops. Those twelve years mean a lot. For what you do in school, not just scholasticly, but in everything from cutting classes to basketball, has a direct bearing on the kind of a person you will be when you leave B. H. S. 1 know, I cut my share. Some said it better than I. “The road of life isn’t so tough, just get on the right track, and stay there. ’ Regards, Phil Nolan Class of “51” To the Class of “53” Hi, Kids: Well here 1 am in college and you still aren’t rid of me. I know that I haven’t for- gotten about you and all the wonderful times that I had in high school. Believe me when I say that you have one of the best times of your life while in high school. 1 don t believe that anyone experience is outstanding in my memories of school days, but all of them together unite to form a treasure for which I would take no amount of money. My advice to you is to take advantage of every opportunity that is offered to you both scholastically and socially. I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors. Sincerely, Mona Jean Goodwin Class of 1952 27

Juniors THIRD ROW: SECOND ROW: FIRST ROW: Dick Dowty, Bob Ormiston, Jim Pence, Cub Lyons, Fred Ford, Dave Curts, Leroy Murfitt, Mr. Black(sponsor). Mrs. Adamson (Sponsor), Bertha Ashbaugh. Karen Martin, Judy Patterson, Delores Beaty, Donna Lopp. K?y Cooper. Wanda Whaley, Lucille Deno. Ann Fitzgerald, Ruth Wilson, Pat Hancock. Nellie Riegle, Janet Laffoon, Juanita Carroll, Pat Boelke. Shirley Homell(absent). The Junior class started their activities by selling magazines. This proved to be quite successful and showed the talents of selling by the students. The Junior play was the next project for them to tackle. This took very much practice and patience on the parts of the Juniors and the directors (Mr. Black and Mrs. Adamson). It seemed as though the play “Peck’s Bad Boy“ would be anything but a success. But when the night arrived there was never a more surprised sponsor or class; for the play was far from a failure and the best in years. The class sold the concessions at most of the Basketball games. From this class came three of the four yell leaders and four of the first six of the basketball team. 29
