Senior Class History fContim4edl prom were very successful. We received much help from our sponsor, Miss jean Sullivan, and our class officers were: Norma Weber, presidentg Carole Gehle, vice-president, and Ruth Janssen, secretary-treasurer. Wfhen we returned to school August 30, 1951, as Seniors, we realized that this would be our last year in BCHS. Our Senior class consisted of sixteen mem- bers, since Allan Crawford and' Peggy Hughes joined us' this year. Mrs. Hike and Mr. Yates were our class sponsors. Our class officers were: HillfWeisenf barn, president, Ruth Lustfeldt, vice-president, and Ruth Janssen, secretary- treasurer. At the Halloween Festival, we conducted the cake ralfles to make money for the Senior trip. Plans are now being made for a class play robe given on April 18, and for the Senior trip to Chicago from May 30 to June 1. We are also looking forward to the big day, our graduation on May 23, 1952, with hope and sadness-hope for a bright future and sadness that we will no longer be together as a class. We are proud of our high school records in sports, music, and organization memberships. We hope that we will remain as a memory in the high school--just as the memory of our high school will remain with us.

Senior Class History On September 1,.1948, our class of 1952 entered BCHS as frightened fresh- men. We were treated as inferiors until the day of our initiation, September l7, when we were initiated by the mighty seniors to become full-fledged members of this high school. Under the leadership of Carole Gehle, class president, Nor- ma Weber, vice-president, Gwen Winterstein, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. C. L. Norton, sponsor, our freshmen year was quite prosperous. Most of our income came from the queen contest at the Halloween Festival, where our candidate, Glenda Eyre, placed second. Our first class function consisted of a return party for the seniors. In the fall of 1949, our class again entered the portals of BCHS, not as frightened freshmen, but as saucy sophomores. However, we were minus two members, Ardene Dippel and Allan Crawford. One vacancy was filled by a newcomer, john Martin. Class officers for the year were: Maurice Seggebruch, president, Marian Blanck, vice-president, Gwen Winterstein, secretary-treasurer. We held two class parties that year. The first one was a farewell party for the seniors, the other, a weiner roast for the class members and sponsor, Miss De Luka. As juniors, we came back to school with the hopes of a successful prom. All our efforts went for that purpose. At the Halloween Festival, we conducted a profitable food stand. We also sold candy and pop at basketball games to make money for the coming event. However, our class play Mamas Baby Boyn was our largest source of income. Plans for the prom and banquet began soon after the opening of school. After much deliberation, the Dutch theme was selected. The outstanding high- light consisted of a large Dutch windmill, where the punch was served. Lyle Mitchell furnished music for the occasion. ln our estimation, the banquet and
