The changes were due mostly to the greatly increased enrollment, of 3700 pupils. The Grease Painters topped a successful dramatic season with their prize winning play, The Tenth Man. Graduation in 'Ian- uary broke up one of Bowen's greatest basketball teams. At that time our class took a full stride for- ward, we were now to be reckoned with, for we had become UPPER CLASSMEN. As juniors the members of our class began to step into the limelight in spite of the very crowded con- ditions of our school in both 313 and 5A. In athletics, some of our class helped to win the section champion- ship in basketball, to keep up the good work of the football and baseball teams, and to introduce field hockey for girls for the first time at Bowen. In the field of entertainment, some of our class took dra- matics and helped to present Androcles and the Lion and the three one-act plays, others belonging to the Glee Club helped produce Purple Towers and the minstrel show. In the field of scholarship some, in 5B, attended their first Honor Club dinner and in 3A the first members of our class were initiated into the National Honor Society. Then, before we knew it, our days as juniors were gone and our dearest ambition was realized-for in February we became SENIORS. During our 4B semester Bowen's enrollment reached its highest mark of 4,500 and made necessary 29 portables in our back yard. The semester started out auspiciously with the heavyweight basketball quin- tet getting to the city finals for the first time in the history of Bowen. Witli the opening of school in September calamity was precipitated into our midst, for an ultimatum from the Board of Education sent half of our class to other schools. When the Board decided to let the 4A's return to their old schools, the membership of our class was found to total only 153. The highlights of this semester have been numerous. First came the tryouts for the senior play, then the decision of the class to combine with the 4B class in publishing a june Bowenite, the 4A social, the picture-taking for the individual Bowenite pictures fwill you ever forget some of those proofs ?j , the Bowen-Hirsch game with its smashing victory for Bowen, the announcement of the senior averages, the presentation of It Happened In Hollywood, the Bowen Arrow banquet, the oper- etta, Miss Cherry Blossom, then our very successful dinner dance, and finally graduation night when we donned those dignified caps and gowns and received our long-coveted diplomas. While our last semester has been the busiest and hardest yet, l'm sure we all admit it has also been the most satisfactory and enjoy- able period of our lives and a fitting end to our stay at Bowen. r X We . u X 5 yew' W!! if Ci l f lv 55 is 'T 3 H 4 11, . 2 ' .L ,I iff, Q, Nfl wtf, 33-1-mg 19.-L. hs. mar- ax fig D?
