The best of gifts aren’t always hid In gold or wrappings gay, But in the heart of some dear friend Who loves from day to day. For gifts are just an outward sign Of love that dwells within, To cheer and bless and strengthen ties Of love for her or him. It might be helpful gifts of food, A cheery word or smile, But all that’s done with loving hearts Is treasured and worthwhile. The gift may cost as much or less As a giver wants to spend, But priceless gifts are loving hearts Of kind and thoughtful friends. ORGANIZATIONS

Striving to Make the Best Better Striving to make the best better, setting goals and reaching them, scholars and examples for all stu- dents, the leaders of the school — this may all de- scribe the Beta clubs of BHS. The Jr. Beta Club is designed to prepare members for future activities in Sr. Beta. Jr. Betas excel in many activities such as nominating a Snow Queen, selling various items and electing officers. Being a Sr. Beta is more of a responsibility and privilege than it is a prestige. High standards are set by the Beta sponsor and these must be met for one to stay a member. But even the “elite” of the school can have fun and this they did. The State Beta Con- vention in March was the setting of all this excite- ment. Each individual raised his her own money for the trip. The bus full of excited Betas left BHS on Friday, March 19, and returned full of worn out, sleepy Betas on Sunday, March 20. OFFICERS: Melanie Cassell, president; Mary Anne Cochran, vice-president; Joyce Alexander, secretary; Sue Smith, treasur- er. , ! Se Junior Beta has party.
