Bement High School - BIM Yearbook (Bement, IL)

Page 6 text:

Renewed acquaintances-new friends --hot days--lessons to get--tests to pass--activities buzzing again--and the dynamic scene of the Purple and White clad Bement Bulldogs playing their heart out for their good old school remind us that the school year of 1944-1945 is under way. Later comes the homecoming, which starts in a smashing victory for the home team and ends in a gay celebration in the evening, at which the Homecoming Queen is crowned. Yes--school is here and we are glad.
