MAY DAY Once again we come to that annual festival on the last day of school--May Day. The grades prepare and present a very nice pro- gram in honor of the patrons of the school and for the king and queen. B's were given to those who participated in the various sports and to pupils maintaing a 'B' average in their studies. George Mobley and Eleanore Porter were chosen the king and queen. THE SCHOOL CARNIVAL October 29, 1948 was the date set for the annual school carni- val at Bagley High School. For several weeks prior to the date students worked at their project for the big event. The Seniors solicited for pies and cakes from the community and on the day of the carnival they went out to gather them. The Speech Class presented a skit, there was a bingo stand, a cake walk, and wrestling matches and various concessions. The Home Economics Class supervised the food stand, Fall Inn , for those who enjoyed eating. The success of the carnival was due to the cooperation of the community--for which we express our thanks. SKIP DAY It has been the custom in the past that each year the Seniors have a day called Skip Day . This is one day of freedom from B.H.S It is enjoyed by all, each one goes where he pleases and does as he pleases. It is another day to be remembered forever by the Seniors. This year the Seniors kept it a secret up until the day it happened, 30

THE SCHOOL BAND Work was started on a school band the first week of school. Three in- strumental students, Lurene Noland, Forrest Frownfelter, and Rhoda Frownfelter formed the nucleus. They played trombone, clarinet and flute respectively. More instruments were purchased from week to week and on approximately the first of December all the instrumentalists assembled for the first band practice. Some strange sounds echoed down the halls, but no one gave up. On December twenty-second, thirty-six young musicians made their first appearance at the grade operetta. Since then they have played at the basketball games here at home The last scheduled appearance was the spring concert, held in April. GRADE OPERETTA Came the holiday season-tinsel, evergreen, gifts, Santa Claus, and the The Christmas Bazaar . The stage was a riot of color as it was depicting a bazaar scene. Booths filled with food, gifts, and dolls--the latter containing the doll which caused the mystery of the story. The cast was very well chosen for their parts. The music was simple, but pleasant to hear. The costumes of the chorus were colorful, and the com- plete show made a very enjoyable hour's entertainment.
