There are eighty-six members, and our fondest hope of this moment is that all these will be members of the Graduation Class of 1933- Cheer Leaders Wow! What a hectic year old B. H. S. has had in athletics, particularly in the basketball line. And speaking of a certain very important matter connected with basketball, time out must be taken to permit the cheer leaders to step into the spotlight. The old trio that led the crowd in cheering the teams on to victory—Bea, Earl and Herb—they surely deserve a big hand. Member the new cheers and songs introduced, particularly that grand old battle hymn, TheDonnellymcn? How the crowd liked that and how the foe sat in silence when the strains of that song rang across the court! What a job these three had in teaching it to the school at those pep meetings! But when the crowd knew it, they kept it. And then that night, when Herb as master of ceremonies presented Bea with a pair of gorgeous suspenders donated by an unknown admirer, can’t be forgotten. Yes, it sure was a hectic season, and in closing we all give a rousing Bolivar, Bolivar Rah! Rah! for this hard-working trio w'ho introduced the word PEP into the old school. The Tradition of the Tank Fight On the hillside, facing the boys’ entrance, is a tank used as a fire reservoir. The tank itself has nothing to do with the school but on it is painted a w'hite number which symbolizes the rivalry between the Junior and Senior Classes. Each year the boys of the Junior Class secretly congregate and with their paint and brushes march nobly to the tank to change the number to that of their graduating year. A struggle always follows, but the juniors are eventually allowed to win. At the present time a large white 30” adorns the tank. 28
