November -19 4 SUN MON TUB J 5 6 7 12 13 141 icj 20 21 22 26 27 28 29 Thanks for Sept. 6—“Has anyone a pencil I could borrow?” Yes, school has started once again. It may seem like the same old grind to the most of the underclassmen—but for us Seniors who walked up those steps for the last time there was something different in it, and we all felt it. Sept. 8—We started our football season tonight just the way we like best ... by defeating our arch rival, Decatur. After the game the Seniors rubbed their hands proudly at the enormous turnout for the first school dance of the year. Sept. 13—The yell “We want a touchdown” didn’t seem to have much “black magic” behind it this time; we lost to Garrett’s mighty Railroaders. Sept. 14—“Did you vote a straight ticket?” “No stuffing the ballot boxes!” . . . These were the cries which filled the halls today, as the election of class officers got under way. Sept. 23—B. H. S. certainly had a lot of boosters cheering for the old Alma Mater at the South Side grid fight today. The team played a great game, considering the tough com¬ petition. We were defeated 6-0. Sept. 27—“Now write the numbers you hear in the second column, 41-88-23.” It’s those hearing tests again. There goes our lovely alibi for not getting the assignments. Oct. 3—No, you’re not having nightmares in your daydreams. It’s just a deglamorizing Girl Reserve initiation. Oct. 11—The Seniors swing into action at last. The cast of “Where the Dear Antelope Play” has been chosen with Judy Buckner and Harry Brickley playing the leading roles. Oct. 13—Our boys took the curse off of Friday the 13th this year by scoring a 13-6 win over the Portland Panthers: Chuckie Ault was the black cat that crossed the Panthers’ goal line on the first play. Oct. 16—If the army rejects men with flat feet, the halls of B. H. S. will be overrun with 4-F’s after those strolls taken by the new Hi-Y initiates last night. Oct. 17—-“I’m sunk!” “I can’t go home now!” . . . these were a few of the sentiments of B. H. S. students on this long, dreaded day, Report cards! ! Oh, well . . . “if at first you don’t succeed . . .” Oct. 18—Convocation this morning showed a lot of B. H. S.’s hidden musical (records of course) talent. Few people can play like McElderry and his “Hotsie Totsies.” But the thing that amazed us most was Bob Smith’s hour-glass shape and his soprano voice as he and Jack Edris sang “Together.” October 25—Some of our lads got th at “Senior feeling” when they ran out on the football field for the last time tonight. Although the fellows played hard and put up a good fight, they had to yield to the Huntington Vikings. We’re proud of you, Tigers. Thanks for a good season! Oct. 26—Annual teachers’ convention and we have the rest of the week off. We’re going to sleep till noon. Nov. 9—On stage! The Senior class play is on, the community building is filled to capacity, and the curtain opens on a laugh-packed story. Nov. 10—Once again basketball is ushered in with all the typical Hoosier spirit in yells, songs, and screams. We watched our boys defeat the Portland team, and come up on the right end of the 37-33 score. Nov. 15—Home room No. 15 presented a play in convocation concerning the Sixth War Loan Drive. Nov. 17—Our first home game; didn’t it seem good to be on the bleachers again, yelling our lungs out for the team, while they played their hearts out for us? Tough luck, fellows, Auburn just wouldn’t take no. Nov. 23—Thanksgiving vacation and it seems perfect! No school, plenty of good food; but look at the weight we’ll gain. Nov. 30—Those enterprizing Juniors of ours put Bluffton on the map, by broadcasting on the “Junior Town Meeting” over WOWO. Couldn’t you almost see Grandlienard’s grin as you listened to the big words they used? Thirty
