Chorus lt is victory today For the Purple and the Gold The colors of the Bloomfield High, We will climb the highest hill, And will shout with voices bold The praises of the Bloomfield High, We are very proud of her, For since 1898, she has Stood as a peerless school of learning. In declamatory fights She has carried off the prize, While other schools for victory were yearning. With the basket and the ball She is noted for her fame, And no team can break down her mighty standard, Every student in accord has the spirit of the high, And to win by her colors we are banded. We will stand for Bloomfield High And defend her worthy name, Though we bid her farewell and go forever, We will think of all the days When within her honored walls, There was born for her a love that none can sever.

Now we have five full classes with l25 men in training. This section of the Yearbook, the first of its kind in our school, is dedicated to whatever effort has been made by these men, whether still in the mind, planned, or actually carried out on their farms, toward proper land use and conservation of the soil. We firmly believe that Dr. W. A. Albrecht, Chairman, Department of Soils, University of Missouri, was right when he said, We are what we eat, and that there is a very 'close connection between our soils, our food, and ourselves. We also subscribe to the words of Charles E. Sweet when he said the following about OUR SOIL - AMERICAN HERITAGE The Soil is the Heritage of Our Nation. We, who call ourselves the owners of the Soil, are only its custodians for a brief span of time. The Soil is our most priceless Possession . . . and our greatest Responsi- bility. Freedom has never flourished in a hungry and impoverished land. God grant us the Intelligence to respect our Soil, and the Will to con- serve it in all ways, so that when our period of Stewardship is done, we may pass on the Soil with its Fertility and Fruitfulness undiminished. Thus, our children's children and their children's children shall not know want, and their Nation will remain the Land of Plenty and the Home of Freedom. 26 Russell Chasteen President Bloomfield Ollie Blewer Secretary Puxico Paul Silford Treasurer Puxicc Carl Buchannan Reporter Dudley CLASS OF Herbert Bandy Bloomfield Einar Carlsen Dexter Jesse Deardorff Dudley ALVlN SMYTH, JR. lvan DeJournett Ardeola Lloyd Dillworth Bloomfield Charles Fowler Essex Ralph Gladden Puxico Verlin Hill Bloomfield Fenton Langston Puxico Donald Page Puxico Delbert Perry Bloomfield Eugene Perry Bloomfield Lee Proffer Bloomfield James Pullum Bloomfield Halen Smith Puxico Roy Tyne: Bloomfield Rex Williamson Bloomfield Junior Wineinger Bloomfield 27 Y J , x .:,gg. il -,si '- I W ,fi J M. .

This class, which began training in December, l948, studies four days each week from Carpentry textbooks selected by the State Department of Education. They use the work shop to practice what they have learned. As a work project in construction, this class has recently completed a modern Home Economics Cottage for Bloomfield High School. The Carpentry Class, which is a phase of the Adult Education Program, has -as its objective to more adequately train veterans in the carpentry trade, thus enabling them to provide a higher standard of living for their families. John T. Lawrence, Supt. of Bloomfield S'chools, is administrator of the program. 32 Vlllk Johnnie Atchison Puxico Thurman Almond Aid Shelton Baker Bloomfield Virgil Cook Bloomfield Frank Fulkner Bloomfield Lawrence Fredrick Swinton Clarence Fowler Bloomfield Dale Gibbs Bloomfield Gerth el Hardg rove Bloomfield CAHPl lRl ClASS George Henson ldalia Lone Henson ldalia Billy McCollum Bloomfield Herbert Oberd: Bloomfield Bloomfielc George Pullurn J.

' The Home Economics girls' dreams of moving into the new build- ing partially came true this year. Even though the living-room, bed- room and bath were not furnished, we were happy to occupy the lab- oratory with its 4 unit kitchens and increased facilities for clothing work. The good work done in the Home Economics classes was evidenced by the Christmas and Easter Fashion Shows, by the notebooks compiled on Textiles and Fabrics, Color, and on House Planning and Home Fur- nishings. ln order to gain a more complete knowledge of the business of Homemaking and living with people, the Home Economics girls ex- changed classes with the Agriculture boys for two weeks. The boys were given short units on Manners and Etiquette, Fundamentals in Cooking and Operation of the Sewing Machine, while the girls were instructed in the use of simple tools and woodworking. With the increasing number of girls interested in Home Econ- omics, the lovely new building is a necessity. Over a period of time, the classes will have the experience of selecting the furnishings and helping to equip it so as to provide expleriences as nearly like a home situation as possible. MRS.

The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization of pupils studying homemaking in the high schools of the U. S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico. It is a non-profit organization with 8 purposes, of- fering opportunity to develop social qualities, promote better home life, encourage democracy, promote international good will, provide wholesome individual and group recreation and to further interests in Home Economics. The Bloomfield Chapter is one of 6,108 affiliated chapters and supplies 53 of the 237,133 members in 47 states and territories, lt was organized in 1949 and has made great progress, Among the major activities of the year were a Men's Fashion Show, Emily Post Week, Slave Day, Revenge Day, trip to Sub-District Meeting where one of our members was elected Sub-District Secre- tary, FFA-FHA Party, and the purchase of a punch bowl and cups set for the Home Economics Department, with some of the over S100 made from their activities. A number of members have received the Junior Homemaker De- gree, and with competent officers and active members as we now have, the future is bright for the Bloomfield Future Homemakers. 39 WQMMKER 'X 4,--to NEW YW bo I 1 X cp Y if 2 'S ' r. .L l -- as 5,20 01 1.6 5' 4 xx 0 19' l. l. ll.

They dropped their fifth game fell to Advance and Puxico, but again ridge and Essex. Then before winning phan by only one point. After that, they played in the Cape Christmas Tournament where they won third place in the consolation bracket. Soon after this, bad luck hit them by Ruble being injured in the first minute of play at Bell City, and the doctor saying that he couldn't play any more this year. After Jennings had time to become acquainted with the plays and defense, the team started clicking again. But it wasn't long before the hand of misfortune struck once more. This time Harris and Smith were left out of the line-up. The team was crippled badly, but the coach, patching things up as best he could, kept the team going, and they finished the season with about a fifty percent record. The three leading scorers were Paul Wilson, Jr., Paul Phelan and Wel- don Harris, with these three boys back next season we can look forward to a big scoring team. The scoring was pretty evenly balanced throughout the season with Harris, Ruble, Wilson, Jennings, and Phelan all having at least one turn serving as high point man. Four Seniors played their last for B. H. S., Raymond Ruble, Dean Soud- ers, Thomas Smith and Gene Davis. They will all be missed next year. Raymond Ruble was headed for the best year of his high school career, and if he hadn't had the misfortune of a severe ankle injury he would have finished in a blaze of glory. The entire team played good, hard, clean basketball throughout the season and received many compliments on their good sportsmanship, re- gardless of whether they won or lost. Coach Shublom named the following boys as the ones who are eligible to receive an award letter for the i949-50 Basketball Season: Paul Wilson, Jr., Paul Phelan, Don Barney, Weldon Harris, Raymond Ruble, Willis Jen- nings, James Hutchison, Bob Patrick, Gene Davis, Thomas Smith, Dean Souders, Bill Alexander and Quincy Coggins, Manager and Mascot. 477 Coach HAM STANDING, left to right: Paul Phelan, Raymond Ruble, Weldon Harris, James Hutchison Thomas Smith, Walter Shublom, Coach: Don Barney, Gene Davis, Willis Jennings, Paul Wil son, Jr., Bob Patrick, Quincy Coggins, mascot.
