'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.

THE COMET THE COMETARIUM Even before school started, the publication of 'Ghz Gomezafium was regarded as an established fact. Its six previous years of publi- cation proved the value of the work it requires. The staff of veteran Qometarium leaders filled the two sheets of legal size paper each week of the school year with the exception of the week that school was closed due to scarlet fever. The paper was organized in a manner similar to that of the past two years, during which time it has been rnimeographed. The staff veterans had charge of the publication until the fourth quarter when some resigned to allow underclassmen to become adept at the work which they must carry on next year. This valuable part of the activities of B. H. S. has been in- stilling its training every week and has used only a minimum of school time. This organ of B. H. S. expresses the attitude of the school by the use of editorials, news, features, and cartoons. 'Ghe Cometarium has, by supplying a record of events, express- ing school views to the community, and supplying valuable training, justified its existence and the loyalty of its staff.
