o Opening the door to informa- tion of the commercial world, our business education instruc- tors teach courses in commercial geography, everyday business, and introduction to business. Solving the needs of those who prefer to work with figures and those interested in future office work, our commercial de- partment offers typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping. During the first semester, Mrs. Stradling assumed the 'duties of Mrs. Crouse, who resigned to join her husband in Washington, D.C. While Christmas bells were ring- ing, wedding bells rang for Mrs. Kaiser, the former Miss Crum. 0 A typical day in the bookstore includes the renting of books, selling of postage stamps, order- ing another case of cokes for a school party, collecting senior fees, answering inquiries con- cerning lost articles, and the selling of supplies. As the day moves on, the workers in the bookstore can be seen busily doing anything from the prep- aration of books and supplies for the grade schools to balancing the treasurers' books of different organizations in B.H.S. 0 The health department has the responsibility of safeguard- ing the health of students, fac- ulty, and employees of all the Bloomington schools. In addition to the routine program of exam- inations and immunizations, they care for minor injuries and ill- nesses as they occur from day to day. Dr. Culmer is present at all major athletic events to care for any injuries that might occur among the players. Mrs. Buskirk, formerly known to us as Annabelle Prow, resigned her position as receptionist the first semester, and Mrs. Trisler has assumed her duties.

Putting to practice their principles of cleanliness are those behind the scene workers, our custodians. ln order to keep B.H.S. in condition, our housekeepers must perform numerous tasks, which range from keeping the dust away to freeing our walks from ice and snow. While we rest during summer vacation, they assume added duties by giving our school a thorough late spring cleaning. Another hidden department of our school is the cafeteria staff which prepares and serves appetizing lunches for an average of 300 hungry students each day. Although food still ranked high on the scarcity list, our cooks continued to prepare a variety of food at Il minimum cost for us. PAGE 29

WW!WWWWwfwff 4 lXXxXXXXXQXKXXXXXXNWW' N' ll W i 4 2 4 ,E -'W ffr-M Underclassmen Today-Graduates Tomorrow When the youngest of our student body, Junior High, came to B.H.S., they were in a daze trying to dis- cover the traditions of our school. They learned the hard way-by experience . . . Entering the doors of B.H.S., 317 timid Freshmen began their high school life in the fall of '45 and soon learned what a fascinating place B.H.S. could be. . . Out of freshiedom emerged our in-betweeners, the Sophomore class. Half-way through their high school career, the class of '48 has al- ready shown live-wire characteristics . . . Now we come to those one-more-year students, the Juniors. The class of '47 demonstrated its ability to make Seniors scramble to keep their laurels. They boasted, as do all Junior classes, that their class would be the best to pass through the doors of B.H.S. In one more year they will have the chance to prove it-to carry out the established ideas and traditions set before them for the better class . . . It is with pleasure we present the UNDERCLASSMEN.
