THE' B-HIVE 1 Page Six Nineteen hundred forty-eight Every Thursday morning at 9:00 A. M. the bell buzzes three shorts, and a mad flight is made for the audi- torium with the Seniors at the head of the swarm. As- sembly programs consist of movies, round-table discus- sions, short skits, singing, and pep rallies. When the program is over, the drove buzzes back to Work. Under the competent in- struction of Mr, Grossnickle the workers and drones alike experience the sharp sting of the mathematical grind. At the sounding of the bell, those bees who are lucky enough to rate a study period flutter in and begin their unfinished assign- ments. Part of the Home Eco- nomics department whips up a sweet dish or two with a few hints dropped by Mrs. Emily King.

U THE B-HI VE Nmeteen hundred forty-eight Bzzzzz-Bzzzzz It all started with the question, Why don't we have a yearbook ? Naturally all the students were enthusiastic, but the faculty was a bit wary. They knew it was no glamour jobg they knew it would take time and hard work. Nevertheless, we prepared to publish our first yea.rbook. Mr. Hoke, our assistant principal, and Mr. Thompson, Academic English teacher, realizing that most of the work would fall on their shoulders, took over the positions as financial and literary advisors with skepticism. Out of this beginning grew many problems. The organization of a competent staff became the primary objective. A system was devised whereby the Editor-In-Chief' is selected by the members of the Senior Class, as is also the Senior Assistant Editor and the Business Manager. In a similar manner, the Junior Class chooses the Junior Assistant Editor and the Assistant Business Manager. This skeleton staff and the faculty advisors then appoint the others who will be responsible for the various departments. The actual work of the staff really commences with the second semes- ter. The foot-weary advertising staff suffers through rain, snow and fiat refusals in order to bring in ads g the circulation department starts its nagging campaign to remind ever-forgetful students to bring their down payments, and the literary staff racks its brain for some clever ideas. Naturally, all the staff takes it easy until two weeks before the dead- line, when the school is literally turned into a madhouse, or should we say, B-Hive. The yearbook was named the B-Hive to portray the varied, con- stant and feverish activity of our school days. In it we have mirrored some of our various functions in the comb. Page Five

Nineteen hundred forty-eight An unsolved problem in Physics class furnishes food for zz Worker's thought. Mr. Clifton's gymnastic classes build and train Well- coordinated bee-bodies. Rig- orous workouts on the mats, parallel bars and the 'horse' fpicturedl prevent even a drone from inactivity. Mr. McGee's instruction in handling various tools and types of Wood provides adequate practice for the future builders of hives and their various facilities. THE B-HIVE Page Seven
