mt h ycTI Bolivar Central School On September second, nineteen hundred thirty, some one hundred forty-three students, for the first time entered the new Bolivar Central High School. Forty-eight Freshmen: active, willing, ambitious Freshmen brought together by Fate to strive to keep up with the progressive world. They were placed under a worthy adviser, Mr. Coplai, whom the class wish to thank for his help in preparing them for a higher education and for the higher ideals of life, and for placing them one step higher on the Ladder of Success. Loretta Shaner, president of the class; William Whitford, secretary; and Barbara Bliss, treasurer are entitled to much praise for their part in trying to make the year one of success. Clara May Graves, George Ackerman, and Edith Rogers also did their bit for the class, as monitors, and the latter two as members of the Student Council. As a whole, the year was a howling success and the Class regret that they will not have Mr. Coplai as class adviser next year and are hoping that they will have one as co-operative. Forty-seven Sophomores: studious, troublesome, lively Sophomores started the year with the election of a class adviser and class officers. Mr. Kyser was elected as class adviser while the class officers elected were thus: Nellie Batterson, president; Earl Ackerman, vice-president; William Jones, treasurer; Veryl Casey, secretary; Elizabeth Dougherty and Clarence Schaffner as members of Student Council. TheClass wishes to thank Miss Martiny who had charge of their room throughout the year, as well as Mr. Kyser, their adviser, for the help they gladly gave to the Sophomores. Through their help the Class maintained a very high scholastic average throughout the year. The boys also had a basketball team which came second in rank as champion class team. TheClass are looking forward to the coming year when they all hope to qualify asJuniors,andpass into the room which will be awaiting them. Twenty-one Juniors: diligent, industrious, ambitious Juniors although the smallest class in high school was the only class to have two class advisers, namely Mrs. Davison and her successor, Miss Parker. The class officers were as follows: June Schmidt, president; Winifred Eisert, vice-president; Aldyne Hughes, secretary, and Esther Wightman, treasurer. TheClass has been very active all the year, the main events being a dance in the early part of November, another at Easter time, and three one-act plays. All three events went over big and from them the Class has more than enough proceeds to pay for the Junior-Senior banquet which is to be the biggest event of the year. The Class wishes to thank Mr. Coplai, the director of the Junior plays, for his co-operation in putting on the productions. They also wish to express their appreciation to Miss Parker for her advice and help in putting on their dances. Although the Class has been attentive to school activities outside the school room, they have not neglected their studies, and all of them are working hard to pass their regents so that they can occupy the place vacated by the dignified Seniors. Here's luck to them and their followers! Four hundred forty-eight grade pupils: peppy, mischievous, carefree they came to make the school complete. From the forty-two kindergarten babies, through the three hundred nine intermediate children, to the ninety-seven young men and women of the Junior High School, they are worthy of becoming the future representatives cf Bolivar Central School.

HI MIMK.f June Day Through the efforts of the Student Council, June Day has been made an annual event. Every year during the first of June, a day will be set aside when the students will join together in one last day of fun and merriment. This year June Day will be celebrated on the tenth of the month when the Queen of the Day will be elected by students at the general assembly. She then will reign at a vaudeville which will take place in the Palace Garden. Following will be a parade consisting of the School Band, the Queen and her attendants. Student Council, School Board, Faculty, Grades, headed by kindergarten band, the Glee Clubs, and Varsity “B Club. Representatives of football, basketball, and track will be carried on a float. On returning to the school, a large bon-fire will lie made from old school books and regents papers after which it is planned that each class and grade will plant trees on the campus. Immediately after this a snake dance will be held at the athletic field. The chief event of the day will be the distribution of the annual Gusher. In the evening the Junior-Senior banquet will be held and following this thejuniors will sponser a school dance. This program will be carried out in future years as an annual feature of B. C. S. Tank Tussle In May the annual tank fight reached its final happy ending. It began on a cold, snowy night when telephone messages relayed the news that '32 had mysteriously appeared on the coveted surface. The next evening the Seniors accepted the challenge and peacefully, strangely peacefully, replaced the 1. And by dawn a 2 arrived to stay only until that night. May 6 the final '32 arrived. Let us hope that this long-established tradition of B. H. S. will continue as an integral part of the activities of the new B. C. S. Our Cheerleaders 1931! And again the year has been made peppy by three rip-roaring individuals. Will you ever forget Bea, Herb, and Mary relaying those yells and songs at football and basketball games and assemblies?

Thanks,Bea, Herb, Mary, the first year of B. C. S. owes its PEP to you. May the future years carry on what you began for us1
