And this we must to you cnnfess, We shan't never forget the good times we've had, In your halls, classrooms, and in your colors clad, Our boys served well on the football field And to your basketball foes they failed to yield. In softball and basketball our girls well represented While playing for the Blue and White seemed more contented We have much to remember from our beloved school days. Your dances, your sports, operrettas, and class plays. Oursteps may have sometimes faltered-- Our future much in doubt Your faculty stood ready, always willing to help out. The good times We've shared, we leave behind, But as we depart, we've this thought in mind Though different paths we may have taken B. H. S. YOU will never be forsaken.

CLASS OF 1952 The class of '52 was very proud when all of us passed into the ninth grade, because we had at last achieved the rank of freshmen. Our first social event was class night at which we out-cheered the sophomores with the heop of the juniors. We elected our class president and chose class colors - blue and grey. The new school year found most of us in the sophomore class. During this year we re-elected the following officers: President. . . .... .Dean Steele Vice President. . . . .Stephen Ulsh Sec. and Treas. . . . Donna Collins Historian. . . . . .Joseph Guerrini Our next big event will be the St. Patrick's Day Dance which we hope will be a big success.

We looked back with pride upon our first two years in Junior High. we will never forget the day we entered Junior High as sevenU1graders, because we were entering upon our high school careers. During the seventh and eighth grades our class worked diligently with varied school activities. We were always glad to go to assemblies, especially the football pep meetings. During our freshman year many of our classmates participated in Varsity and Junior Varsity sports. We were very proud of our boys on the football team, and also of our basketball players. We, the classcf1953 hopefully expect to have as much success in the future as we have had in the past years.

FCDUTBALL The early years of sports for the class of 'SO' are remembered as Burnham's years of football glory. - In 19146 the class of '5O's first year on the field, a perfect season was almost a reality. The one blemish occured as a tie with Porter Township. That year old wounds were healed as Derry Township reeled under a 19-O blow dealt under lights at Lewistown. The team of 'h7' merely showed promise of things to come, when it roll- ed over Orbisonia in the first battle of the year. It was during this .year that football history was made by completing the second consecutivelndefeat- ed season and the first undefeated and u tied season. -Burnham steamrollered through a rugged nine game schedule to climax the season by defeating Derry Township. It was only after the uniforms reached the storage chest that usually dull statistics told a thrilling story, Burnham had scored 30h pints to her opponents 25. The tough and stubborn team from Juniata Joint was defeated under the arc lights at Lewistown on the night of September 214, 19148. It was here that fine coaching, experience, and just plain guts of Burnham paid off in a game between two very evenly matched and determined teams. Although this game ended in a lh-13 thriller, it was here that the groundwork for our on- ly defeat in 25 games was laid. Fbr when the team left the field, foot- balls greatest opponent, injury, had left its mark. The next three games also added to the injury list. Then came Williamstown. It was a battered but u bowed team that took the field that night. At the final whistle the score was Williamstown 13, Burnham 12. Even though defeated they all gave Williamstown a football game in which there was plenty of glory for tthose concerned. In the final game that year Wiconisco went down to defeat by a score of 20-T. Thus ended the greatest era in Burnham Football History. At the end of the l9h8 season Mr. Ilioff resigned his coaching positiax in order to devote full time to his duties as Supervising Principal. The 19149-50 football season was not quite what we had hoped for. How- ever, considering the big school opposition such as Carlisle and Juniata Joint, the record isn't too bad. Nr. Koons, our new coach, came to us from'West Chester, and it wasn't coaching determination and spirit that Hr. Koon's boys needed it was just a little more weight and some experience.

The 19h7-h8 season ended with the scorebooks reading eight games lost to fifteen games won. The 19h8-M9 season started with Burnham mowing down Middleburg by a score of 39-25. The seasons ending saw Burnham going into the class 'C' playoffs and being defeated by Gregg Township. That year Burnham won fourteen games and lost only six. The 19h9-50 basketball season saw Burnham lose out in County playoffs, but startled fans in the close independent contests. They gave Lewistown a rugged time on the Panthers' hardwood when four points saved Lewistown from the upset of the year. They beat Juniata Joint by a score of 6h-39 to end the season in a blaze of glory. The Juniata Joint game also ended the sports careers for three Seniorsy Bingo Hertzler, Jack Gibbony, and Bill Snyder. As the buzzer sounded for the last time that season, the score - books said, Burnham had won eleven games and lost nine, They also tiei for third place in the Mifflin County League.

That was the great day, all of us went marching proudly to school feeling as though we owned the world. This morning many happy ,faces entered the school, eyes gleaming with excitement. we wondered what was in store for us, all eager to go to school to meet new friends and to learn to work together in all we did. With the help of our teachers we did just that. We played together, worked together, and thus slowly learned the meaning of brotherhood. As we went on through these first six years of our school'days, our class lost some old members and friends, while at the same time gained new members and friends. After we completed these six years, another new experience was in store for us, it was entering into the high school building, which of course, marked thebeginning of our last six years of school. It gave us a great feeling to be in Junior High, proud to say we successfully completed our elementry studies. So on to the Freshmen Class, the first year in Senior High and what a year it was. ' , Now you are about to read the story of activities, adventures, and experiences of WThe Best Years Of Our Lives.' I'm sure after reading this story you will heartily agree we were quite a class, one never to be forgotten in the minds of all. g If you will. lend us a few minutes of your time, we will' tell you the complete story of this the Class of 1950, which so proudly finished the end of our school career. WThe Best Years of Our Livesn Our Freshman Activitiest When we were in the freshman class, activities were very few, but we always found something to keep us busy. ' That was the year we elected our president, William Snyder, and we also voted to have our class colors kelly green and gray. That year, of course, was our first year we had an active part in class night. It was quite an occassion for all. Some of the members of our class took part in the Operetta, nSonjaW presented by the Class of 19b7. Then we became Sophmores: -That year we became aslittle more active, in every way. It' was quite a year, how could it ever be forgotten? During this year we elected our Class Advisor, Mr. Ernest H. Koch who helped with all our activities,- not only this year, but also in the years in school which followed. Also we elected our vice president, Paul Manbeckg secretary, Janet Page, and treasurer, Marjory Sprout. These officers served our sophomore, junior, and senior years. We held a dance this year too, it was our first dance, We were well pleased with the results of this dance, not only in the financial part, but we are sure everyone had a fine time. As Juniors We Were Very Busy! In October of this term we received our Class Rings which caused excitement within our class. A little later came the class hats and penants bearing the beautiful colors of green and gray. During this year we held many dances, sold Christmas Wrapping Paper and we even held a Western Show down in the auditorium of the High School. There were many activities this year, but the greatest of all was our class play. This play was entitled, WFor Pete's Saken. It was a great play, that can not be denied. The characters who play their parts well really had the people laughing. If you were there you can remember how enjoy- ing it was, if you were not there you surely have heard the people talk- ing about it. The characters were as follows: Peter Pepperdine------------Robert Hudson Aunt Sara Pepperdine------------Patricia Wright Throndyke Merglethorpe----------Leonard Krick Bill Bradshaw-at ----fiiifefre--L-::Jay Lewis Mrs. Clarkson: Ara- --22: ----- ffffi-::Marjory Sprout Nadine Clarkson----- ------ ------Janet Page Peggy Clarkson------ ------ ----Edith Shirey Dean Merglethorpe-----------John Stuck John Bolivereve2--::fe---l1:--::-- William Snyder Dupont Darbyff--Cifaiffef---e -LIQ1 asClayton Shirk Malvina Potts-------- ------- ---Mary Alice Pursel Jasmine Jackson------- ---- ---Shirley Ulsh Then last of all our Junior Prom. This night we entertained the Senior Class of 19h9, and also the faculty. This took place at the Green Gables Hotel. For dinner everyone filled themselves with ham and all that goes with it. During the dinner short speeches were given by the presidents of both junior and senior classes, William Snyder and Donald Stgcgvyg also by the two class advisors, Mr. Ernest H. Koch and Mr. K. K. Woomerg our Supervising Principal, Hr. L. B. Ilioff, spoke his words of apprecia- ti0I1e A After the dinner came dancing, starting at 9:00 and continuing un- till 12:0O. Everyone danced to the music of those well known WRythm Kings.n ' The girls were dressed in their colorful new evening gowns and the ,boys in their neatly pressed suits and white shirts. Everyone was there for a good time and it was plain to see that they all had an evening of fine enjoyment. This occassion marked the last activity for the term 19148-I49. Our Host Important Year: We Were Seniors. . While on our sum er vacation, a festival was held on the Burnham Fire Company grounds. This occasion was sponsored by us, the class of 1950. Folks there 'enjoyed the usual entertainment and eats at this festival. J Not long after this festival came the opening day of school, our last year spent at good old B.H.S. With the opening of school came football, with football came our concession stands at all our home games. The people attending these games saw our class members working hard selling peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, and soft drinks. During this year many dances, basketball games, assembly programs, and other activities were held in which many members of our class had taken part. we had our senior class play. What a wonderful play it was. The chosen play was known by the title 'Wanted-A Hero.' Those characters acted their parts so well, they made you feel like you were really out in the rootin' tootin' west.

' Also we want to thank our Class Advisor, Mr. Ernest Koch, for all the trouble he has gone to and the worrying he has done to make us succ- essful. And to you, school mates, may your classes go along as we did always looking for the bright side and never giving up till you find it. ,To you class mates: As you go out in this world on your own, find- ing your lifes work, we wish for you the best of everything. You rememe ber, as a class we had our troubles, we also had our personal problems, but did that keep us from being successful? N01 So, in the following years if things do not always look so brightg remember stick to what ever you do till the bright side starts shining As you go through the years that are ahead of you and sometimes get to feel a little hlue, just sit back, relax, and dream about these years in school, 'The Best Years Of Our Lifen.

To the Sophomores we bequethe our success. CLASS PROPHECY Let ua travel in our imaginations into the year of 1960 to the various places of occupation of the graduates of the year of 1950. When we board the airplane, we discover Russell Kauffman is to be our pilot, with his friend, Paul Mahady, as cO-pilot. ,Our plane is a modern one with a doctor who is Edith Shirey and her nurses are Janet Page, Pat Wright,'Mary Alice Pursel and Jeanne Smith. It is also equipped with a beauty salon whose operators are Jeanne Lewis and Irma Allison. After riding for sometime we ,gc to the soda fountain for a coke. What a surprise to find another of ourfriends, Bill Snyder, as soda jerk. Suddenly the stewardess, Anna Hummel, warns us to fasten our safety belts. She calmly tells us one of the motors is missing and must be re- paired immediately. .We land at the nearest air base where the efficient mechanic, Harry Schaeffer, repairs it in a short time and once again we are on our way. During our short delay we acquired three very famous celebrities- Paul-Manbeck and Harold Libby, the famous film stars, and Shirley Ulsh, the much celebrated soprano singer. Our first scheduled stop is a small town in the middle-west. Tour- ing the town, we come first to the elementry school where the teacher is Anna Mae Farrell. I Coming next to the used car lot of Robert Hudson, we find the owner very aimable indeed.. Working under him, as his secretaries are Marjory Sprout and Kathryn Harbst. Traveling still farther we come to the radio station independently owned by Herbert Wray. After a few commercials by the announcers, Danny Fultz and Clayton Shirk, the disc-jockey, Jay Lewis introduces us to his small son, and his wife who was Martha Krist. We go to the local department store to purchase a few necessities. Our clerk is another one of our former classmates, Helen Ruble. The next item on our shopping list is anacin so we visit the drug store where Leonard Krick is the pharmicist. It is again time to board our airplane. Our destination is the Pacific Coast. Once again we land and register at a hotel owned by Richard Hale whose desk clerk is Ira Sheetz. Also under his employment is Albert Peters as head bell-hop and Harold Harriett as his assistant. ' Upon exploring the hotel we co e to the kitchen where we find Carl Stoicovy as head chef and John Stuck as head baker. Now entering the dining room, we chance to meet Charley Mckinn and his wife, who was formerly Daria Fultz, enjoying their second honeymoon. We wander down to the beach for a brief swim and who should we meet but Jack Gibboney, Boyd Lewis, Nelson Hertzler, and William McMullen who are on furlough from the Navy. When we return to the hotel, there is a telegram awaiting us from our secretary, Daisy Hile, informing us of the Aforthcoming marriage of' Clara Horner, who personally requests our presence. ' We return immediately to our starting point, and on the appointed date went to the wedding. Chester Haney was best man and Doris Kauffman was matron of honor. DVERTI ING K3 1 ,MM W ,,. ,. H, 1, il?
