Don’t Look Now. But- Not all has remained the same at BCHS this summer. The building has been worked on inside and out. The newly varnished gym floor looks clear as glass. For the boys, a new set of lockers has been added to the locker room. BCHS library is growing larger with the addition of many new books. A faint paint smell can be noticed while passing the repainted biology lab and Room 16. Evidently, quite a bit of elbow grease has also been used on the desks. Have you been reading this paper for several ye rs and still don’t know what the name ARISTA means? ARISTA is a Greek woid which means the highest, the most, or the best. Freshmen Crowd Seniors Together High freshman enrollment and lack of space has resulted in placing seniors in one home- room rather than the usual two. Sister Mary Denise and Sister M. Gregory will be in full charge of the group. The seniors will meet in Smdy Hall, Room 3, leaving Room 14 for an underclassman homeroom. What Is YOUR Student Council?

It is necessary to have leaders in the student council to promote school activities and spirit. Art Kapitanoff, this year’s SC president, will be striving to add more Interest in this representative body. Goals of the student council are: to develop good habits of sportsmanship among the students; to better student- faculty relations and to build a school to be proud of. Members of the student council are club presidents, the class presidents, and a representative £rom each homeroom. Homeroom representatives will be chosen in the early part of September.

Potor Obligato attended Badger Boys State at Ripon State College, Ripon; Margaret FitzGerald attended Badger Girls State at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Peter Obligato and Margaret Fitzgerald compare notes on their Badger State experiences. The experiment in local and state government is sponsored annually by the American Legion and its auxiliary. Students at both conventions heard lectures by university professors and by local and state officials on various phases of our governing system. As they learned, the dele- gates experienced party cau- cuses, primary elections, and even inaugurations. Subjact matter at Girls State concentrated on the Legislative branches of govern- ment, while Boys State also included the executive and judicial branches. Sparetime activities at Boys State included compete- tive sports as well as a band. Citizens of Girls State limited themselves to a band, chorus, and daily newspaper. Part of the fun at both conventions, delegates agreed, was dorm life and getting a taste of what going to a col- lege is like. and Reviews The Lonely Life by Bette Davis Many young people wish and work to become actors or actresses. This is Miss Davis' own account of her struggles, successes, and defeats on the road to established stardom. The story itsejf is real and one can sympathize with the central figure. Because this is such a recent book (1962), the author is not unknown, nor has she totally disappeared from motion pictures. Antonin Dvorak, Composer from Bohemia by Claire Lee Purdy Claire Lee Purdy has been an outstanding biographer of musicians. This is one of five on composers in her very readable style. She weaves the story so skillfully that one must finish the book. For devotees of his music, this biography will give a picture of the background which made Dvorak the composer he was. , , Cl '.yS i ‘ '(C c tz- Sc -I zu . • e ? rCe. C-C . y y? ytyypr- y fef a f AC
