The Class of 1928 had thirteen seniors.

Class of 1929 was the next to the last to graduate from the Old School. Miss Growney was the class adviser and also the director of the play, The Charm School,” which was very successful. This class will never forget the faithful work of Miss Growney. Among these seniors were Basil Hibbard who is a bookkeeper in Oswego; Margaret Green, Velma Smith, Anita Perkins and George White who are attending Westbrook's Academy; Albert Cartwright and Edna Ward taking postgraduate courses; Herbert Rhoades works at the Bolivar Larkin Store; Evelyn Sherwood attends Meeker's Business School in Elmira; Irene Casey is stenographer and bookkeeper at The Bolivar Breeze office, Frank Cossaboon was taking a postgraduate course the first of the year, but is now working, and Alois Husak is at his home in Mead Hollow. 1930 marks the passing of the Old Bolivar High School and the opening of a new B. H. S.; in an age of progress this is as it should be. However, as the Old B. H. S. fades in perspective, a line in memoriam will not be amiss. No inanimate thing should be the direct object of man's emotions or sentiment, for this would be pagan idolatry, but it can, through association either directly or indirectly,mold the course of his thoughts. What, then, is more natural than that we should look back upon the scenes of our carefree high school days with some feeling of sentiment? To the alumni, the Old School House is the symbol of those days and all they call to memory. 12

KifcSGH THE GUSHER Faculty Basketball The Faculty Athletic Association was organized in January as a social and recreational medium whereby the various teachers could get together, appreciate and enjoy some of the athletic spirit of which Bolivar is so justly proud, and thereby give fitting support to the Varsity squads at their scheduled games. Under the able coaching of Mr. Donnelly, and with the enthusiasm of the two squads which reported for tryouts, a most profitable season resulted. Practice, averaging approximately once a week for the season, was enthusiastically enjoyed bv every member of the team, and closed with the entire faculty enjoying an invitation Gym Party, held with the Belmont faculty at the Belmont Gymnasium, April 15th. In spite of the fact that the Bolivar facultv team lost by a score of 12-7, their enthusiasm and fraternal spirit always outclassed the few points out-scored by the opposing teams. Le Ccrcle Francais Le Cercle Francais was organized at the Bolivar High School in the Fall of 1929 by the members of the faculty. The officers elected were: President, Miss Pickard; Secretary, Miss Carlson; Treasurer, Miss Tallman. The meetings of the club were held every Wednesday evening. Its purpose was to learn to speak French. During the year there were several enjoyable parties. 14
