OUITILI l.S'l7'L Top Row Francis Fowler Jim Morris, Edwin Cooke, Betty Lenington, Bob McCall, Bill Holloway, Front Row Earl Shurtz Rachel Young, Louise Williams, Joan Power, Margaret Gurley, Jim Jones, With seventeen journalistic inspired students pledg- ing themselves whole heartedly to the task of putting out a better-than-ever school paper, the B. H. S. Life reached a new high in success. A list of over forty downtown subscribers added to the twenty-six mailed exchanges gave the Lifey' a wider circulation than ever before. Fifty per cent of the All School Play proceeds went to the Journalism department, and they in turn undertook the play's advertising campaign. A policy of courtesy was adopted, the staff endeav- ored to express and stress within all four pages of the paper every phase of courtesy which would be more attractive for high school students to possess. A special effort t-o give equal publicity to all school activities and organizations, not bending over backwards for a select few, was another yearly policy adopted by the staff. The Life served not only as a 'source of enjoyment a.nd in- formation but also, which is of greater importance, :is a permanent record for future years. This is, perhaps, the only accurate statement of school life available in years to come. . No account of the Journalism department would be complete without mentioning the help and advice which Miss Kirtland, sponsor, gave for the betterment of this yea.r's paper. Through thick 'n' thin she slaved as hard as the staff to put out the reputable paper that the B. H. S. Life was. 23

The cast included: Betty Morrell, Charlene Belden, Verna Helmbrecht, Mildred Cole, Delilah Myers, Clara Grater, Lillie Mae Axtell, and Mary Harris. A bicycle club was organized at the first signs of spring. This was aided by the fact tha-t the rationing of tires caused more and more people to purchase bicycles. As warm weather continued, baseball and tennis made their appearance, too. Miss Morgan and the girls can look back on the year's work and say, Well done. '
