A mf cLns5Qf1947 Green freshmen? No, not us! We thought we were good and ripe, all set to jump into the swing of high school life! With Bud Filbln as class president, our first opportunity for extra curricular activity was the school's Annual Carnival. We operated a most successful night club. Who would have guessed that our dimly lit, beautifully decorated club was originally the industrial arts shop? Then, thrill of thrills! We, the freshmen, walked proudly off with the plaque for the One Act Play Contest. Our play, The Tantrum , starred Joe Adam in a never-to-be-forgotten performance. We celebrated our victory with a party ln the home economics room -- dead fish and all! As sophomores, under they leadership of our new president, Gordon Group, we sponsored a turkey raffle at the Carnival Con the Q. T. undergraduates, it proved to be a real money making venture.J Our skating party at the Rollercade was lots of fun even for those who forgot their pillows. Again we tried for the plaque in the One Act Play Contest, with the play, Last Flight Over . Well, we're good losers, too, but we resolved to try harder next time. Our class picnic that year was a bit chilly--the weather, that is, but oh, what fun! Up came our junior year. What a wonderful life we led. For the Carnival, we shared another successful turkey raffle with the sophomores. We also made and sold waffles and sponsored a ping pong toss. And' we won--guess what? Yes, the Che Act Play Contest! Compelling and tender per- formances of Gordon Group, Mary Eaton, Irene Novak, and Jerry Christner, with a comedy bit played by Carl Wiegand, made I Shall Be Waiting our winner. Our juniorrclass play was the hilarious comedy, The Doctor Has A Daughter. Lois McCormick, as the daughter, with Janet Kercher as her friend and accomplice and Doug Dorner, who had difficulty keeping up with her and football, too, kept the audience in stitches. Her distracted parents were portrayed by Lucille Eredish and Gordon Group,wlth Kathy lame s, Valerie Buk, Grace Daley, John Wellman, and Ed Zielke in comedy character roles. The biggest event of the year was yet to come--our junior-Senior Prom. We entertained the seniors with a dhmer-dance at the Ridgewood Country Club. Music was by Peter Piper's Orchestra. A class picnic at Sandy Beach on Portage Lake brought us to the close of our third year in high school and the right to be called Seniors . y This time we'll fool you. No, we didn't have a turkey raffle at the Carnival. But our white pig caused lots of excitement and brought us a neat profit. We enjoyed a class party at the Russian Hall with dancing, games, and what the boys like most ---- plenty of food. We put lots of hard work into the preparation for our Yuletide Ball , and the combined effect of the huge lighted Christmas Trees, the bandstand, and the canopy of blue and white twisted crepe paper was beautiful. With the juniors we co-sponsored a performance of the Range Riders and a series of Saturday night dances. Our One Act Play was the dramatic Fright , starring Gordon Group and Jerry Chrlstner with Lucille Eredish, Janet Kercher, and Al Hadlck in supporting roles. Although their per- formance was excellent, they relinquished the plaque to the freshmen --history does repeat itself -- congratulations, freshmen ! Crowded into the last month of our last year were the thrills of the senior class play, the fun Kdlgnlfied, of course 0 of Senior Day, the big night of the Junior-Senior Prom, the nostalgic joy of our last senior get-together, and then the sad yet happy nights orf Baccalaureate and Commencement. Are our twelve school years really over? How did they fly by so fast? No more readin', 'ritin', or 'rithmetic in our beloved B. H. S. WE'RE ALUMNI NOW!
