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.
