It looks as if the English I students are catching up on a little reading, so we won’t disturb them. There’s another bell! Wow! Of all the hungry people! The rush for lunch is on! The girls must have been trampled by the boys today. Everyone must have been hurrying to lunch so he could get back in rime to play whiffleball, one of the sports on Mr. Mills noon-hour activity program. A few more bells ring, and the halls are quiet again. That rhythmic clicking from the commercial room must mean that the typing students are warming up the keys with a timed writing.

LET’S SPENC Some of the “early birds” are already at school, and the congregation around the library desk in the assembly hall begins to grow. Today we arrived at BHS on one of Lynn Crooks’ busses. To the rural pupils, the bus is like “a home on wheels.” Five minutes after the first bell rings, we find the boys in the agriculture shop quite busy experimenting with electric wiring. The home economics girls keep the needles flying and the scissors clicking as they work on their sewing projects.

LET’S SPENC Sixth hour classes,” says Mr. Wood ard as today’s assembly comes to an end These boys finish their school day in the industrial arts shop learning the art of woodworking. Three-forty in the afternoon is by no means the end of the day for many students. These girls enjoy anhour of bowling during their weekly GAA meeting. After school is also a good time for students and teachers to catch up on their work. Another bell! That must surely be the last one for today because everyone scrambles for his locker, collects his homework, and scurries away. 6
