Some freshies swallowed eagerly the swim- ming pool, steam-heated locker, and elevator stories, some of us had to go lunchless because we got the bells mixed up, and all of us suffered carrying coat, hat, gloves, galoshes, brief cases, art portfolios, gym suits, and books from the first floor to the fourth, then to the park gym and back until the lockers were as- signed. At the time of our arrival Bowen's far famed attendance ofhce was installed and it immediately be- came the horror of our existence. In a benignant spirit the Baufefz Armuf and Go-Getters gave freshie assem- blies and gradually the mysteries of high school life began to unfold. We helped the auditorium to see the senior play and the operetta. We were marvel- ing spectators of the campaigning for senior election and our first Bowenite picture day. The end of the semester found twenty-four members of our class eligible for the Honor Club, one hundred members Tau pledges, and the whole class proud of the fact that no longer were thev to be called derisively freshies -but, instead, FRESHMEN. The opening of school in September, 1930, was marked by the return of our principal, Mr, Stahl, who had been ill the greater part of our first semester. This new term also saw the installation of the new hall guard system and the new large size passes. jan- uary was the outstanding month of the semester for it was host to the Grease Painters' production, The Royal Family, the unveiling of Mr. Stahl's portrait, and the first appearance of our band in uniform. The basketball teams carried their good work of 1930 into the beginning of our sophomore year and suc- ceeded in winning second place in the city heavy and lightweight sectional championships. That 2B semester shone with good athletics, for, in addition to the quintet's winnings in basketball, the Boilermaker nine won the south section championship in baseball. For the first time we registered our own classes fnot such an easy feat then as nowj and some of us succeeded in getting early hours! Mr. Stahl's retirement, after twelve years at Bowen, immeasurably saddened the end of the semester. Mr. William T. McCoy succeeded Mr. Stahl in September, 1931, and a new era in the history of Bowen began. School regulations became stricter, good scholarship received greater encouragement, and extra curricular activities continued full speed ahead.
