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.

'THE COMET THE COMET The 1938 Gomer, the seventh successive B. H. S. yearbook, met enthusiastic support from the time the stiwas appointed until the Work was complete. The returns from the Miss B. H. S. con- test, which helps defray the publication expense, increased over three hundred per cent over last year. Before the close of the year, students and friends oversubscribed the edition, which exceeded the total enrollment. The proceeds of the senior play were also devoted to this publication. Under the iniluence of most enthusiastic student support, Ghe Gomer staff and its advisers have exercised their respective talents in matters of art, literary work, and business management. The entire group co-operated to obtain the publicity necessary to obtain the public support, through the use of the contests sponsored by 'Ghe Gomer staif. The contests for Miss B. H. S., Basketball Queen, Most Popular Boy, Outstanding Scholar, Outstanding Athlete, and Best School Citizen, served this purpose admirably. The services of the entire student body were willingly given to paste pictures or to do anything else of service to the staff. The '37 Qomet was ranked second by the judges of the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association. The staff of the '38 Gomer Wishes to thank Mr. L. E. Daugherty, Editor of T5he Cfveighton fBanne1, and Mr. Guy S. Lovegrove, Gomez photographer, for again completing in an entirely satisfactory man- ner, techinal work necessary in this type of publication. D l PAGE 30 ,hgx .xv-. ' ts xx g RCN , B. H.
