PAGE 28 19 THE COMET SCHOOL PART IES Parties of various kinds are sponsored each year for social purposes and to break continuous emphasis upon school work. They have added much to school life and are anticipated with eager enthusiasm. As always, the freshmen initiation party in which the fresh- men are joined to the B. H. S. brotherhood, was given first. The group assembled in the Atkins' pasture where each freshman was initiated separately. After being blindfolded, painted, and fed on a mixture of onions and cocoa, they thought they well deserved their high school prestige. A light lunch was served, and games were played after which the group adjourned. A pie-and-box supper was sponsored by the basketball boys, Saturday night, December 4. The freshmen play, Detour Ahead, furnished the entertainment. The proceeds went to the high school fund. The alumni party was conducted by the senior class on the night of January 1. The group was assembled in the basement, decorated in the school colors-red and white, where a tasty dinner was served. A program of songs and music by Tex Owens, a play by the freshmen, Detour Ahead, and a song by Ronald Atkins accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Edgar Atkins furnished the en- tertainment for the evening. A party in honor of the basketball boys was given by the Pep squad at the schoolhouse, March 23. The group assembled in the basement where sides were chosen and various games were enjoyed. Refreshments were served in the math room after which games were resumed in the basement until time to go home. The basketball squad gave a party on April 28 to honor the coronation of their queen, Rowena Martin. Checkers, rook, monop- oly, Chinese checkers, and other games were played, after which the queen was crowned and refreshments of punch and cookies were served. A Probably the most enthusiastically looked forward to party was the last day of school picnic. It served as a climax to all school work and was enjoyed by everyone. ..,-M. X ' 1, 'xx B. H. S.

Some of them were more or less periodic while others were practically continuous throughout the year. The freshmen would sail along with ease if: Betty Jean Ward would stop collecting string. Billy Horne would stop flirting With the girls, especially at the track meet, subject-matter contest, and other county contests. James Reed would only miss a Saturday-night western. Elmer Lee Orr would think much less of his calf. Mary Ruth Hunter would stop teasing Betty Jean about James Reed. Dick Davis did not have holes in his pockets. Martha Gallihugh Would stop arguing. Virginia Woods did not get letters with we vulcanize tubes on the envelopes. Fern Farnsworth could grow a little bit. B. H. s. E!
