Page Burdette and John Goldsmith arc ready to make an- nouncements to our home rooms. AM, PM.--PA In the office, the yearly activities were gaining mo- mentum. The switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree in recognition of the new term. Our busy office secre- taries tried their best to help get us all settled in our proper rooms while they fondly reminisced about other less hectic days. We were so proud of our new library that it was one of the most popular places in the whole school. It was open — and filled — early every morning and late every evening. The Browsing Room was there to help the seniors make up their minds about which colleges to make ap- plication but the choice was still a difficult one. After the choices were made, innumerable transcripts had to be sent. Moans of I just know they won't ac- cept me!” and “Oh! I wish my class rank were higher!” frequently emerged from the counselor’s office. This year we were proud to announce that an en- viable eighteen B-CC students were named as National Merit Scholarship finalists. They had the well-earned air of assurance about them, a quality that the senior masses fervently wished they would attain by the time College Boards arrived. The P.A. was ever present, directing us, cautioning us. and wishing us a good day. The voice told us where to go, when, why, and what to do when we got there -- “If we get there muttered the sophomores. The daily announcements frequently added variety to our day by such gems of wisdom as Good Afternoon! There is one final announcement; There are no final announce- ments.” We could lx? sure that the broadcasts were not biased by payola! Mrs. Graff and Mrs. Schneider are the ones who maintain our com tact with the outside world. Students, gathered in the new library, maintain the necessary quiet withoiit effort. 12
