The Bruin 1934 Published by Students of BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL Alexandria, Louisiana RKD RIVER TRANSPORTATION The history of Red River, that stream which has played so important a part in the develop- ment of our state, our locality, and in particular our city and which in length and commercial importance ranks fourth in the whole United States, is a worthy theme for the annual of Bolton High School, just as the school deems itself worthy of the section which the body of water developed. The early white voyagers, ami even before them the Indians, poled themselves up the river in hollowed-out cypress logs. Soon flathoats and barges replaced the cruder pirogues and the settlers were not so scattered. The first census, in 1769, taken by several young officers sent for that purpose, showed a popu- lation of a small fraction of our present-day city. But use of the river on a large scale was made very difficult for many reasons chief of which were the flood waters, later shallows and sandbars, rapids, and the Great Raft. Little was done during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to open up the river for transportation. Howell, before he died of yellow fever, cleared twelve miles of raft. Several independent companies were organized to work on the problem, hut accomplished little. It remained for one of the most intensely interesting characters on Red River—Captain H. H. Shreve—really to improve the stream. He was horn far in the North, hut while still a young man was attracted to steamboats and river navigation. Early he was identified with New Or- leans and the Mississippi ami soon he began his career on the Red. In 1814 Shreve carried his Enterprise up the Red, some three years even before a steamboat was piloted up the Mississippi to St. Louis. This was destined to come down in history as the first steamer on the river and it opened the wav for the thriving stream of boats later. There is a legend, which loyal Louisianians like to believe, that this trip was to reach reinforcements and carry them to Newr Orleans in the war of 1812. The enterprising captain’s accomplishments were called to the attention of the government and in 1826 he was placed in charge of improving our Western rivers. For over fifteen years he labored to open up the Red and did more toward its development than any other river figures. The steamboat was the sole method of the early planter to transport his crops and to convey himself. At its peak, just about the time of the construction of the first railroad, countless packets—as they were called—had regular runs between various points along the stream and New' Orleans. The LaBelle, Red River, Jefferson Davis, St. Mary, and the Lioness were familiar names to Louisianians. The docks wrere thronged with people awaiting the arrival of mail, pas- sengers, and freight. An entire plantation would turn out to watch a boat’s passage, with its shrill salute. Many of the steamers wrere enormous and far more sumptuously furnished in comparison than out floating palaces of today. The staterooms were large and comfortable and the boat had an immense ballroom for entertainments, which were frequent. Each time it docked was made an occasion for a celebration. Every year the wealthy families would travel to Mardi Gras, leaving the steamboat tied up off one of New Orleans’ streets and occupying their rooms all during the festival. Red River was the scene of stirring battles and brave deeds during the bloody Civil War. Gage and his army steamed up it to attempt the subjugation of this valley, hut on the return trip were grounded and delayed by the shallow' water and rapids. It was then that a young engi- neer built the famous dam in the channel from nearby sugar houses which he tore down. In a few’ days enough water was caught up to float the boats easily over the snags and jutting rocks. A particularly grand hit of Southern patriotism was revealed when the Northern army was in control of our city. A staunch and slightly stubborn editor who was publishing a small news- paper here was ordered hv the opposing general to discontinue his weeklv. This he refused to do. So all h is blank paper was taken to insure carrying out the orders. Not daunted in the least by this, he printed the news on the hack of wrallpaper and renewed his tirade against the enemy. It was several years before the Cival War that a steamer brought up two hundred tons of iron for the first railroad and another carried the locomotive; but not until some time after the fighting was over did the “iron horse” really become a menace to river trade. From that time on it continued to decline—hut from this period in Red River Valley grew up the prosperous towns and farming areas that we know today. 2 Far hack in the beginning of trade on Red River, the Indians bartered furs and skins with the Spaniards and French for gawdy trinkets and amusing pretties. Poling their rough canoes over the swift current to the waiting ships, they gloried in the wealth of multi-colored trifles and received them in return for the contents of their traps, almost worth their weight in gold. This practice was the origin of the future flourishing stream of boats which ran to and from thriving cities carrying cargoes of cotton and sugar. The very keynote of transportation on the Red is found in such transactions. Each one led to another and finally to the big deals which made Louisiana planters the wealthiest of the South. Just so, the keynote of this Bruin is the development which began in this valley with the introduction of Red River navigation. 3 DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of 1934 of Bolton High School, have been taught the ideals of citizenship by precept hut recently we have attained a deeper insight into that virtue from example for we have seen in tin� flesh as noble a type of patriotic civic service as ever we have read of in hooks. ()ur schools were closed ami the school system of our parish was facing disruption. Only boundless tact, unselfish sacrifice, fearless perseverance, sound judgment could have found a solution for this impasse. These qualities were not lacking in our citizenry but were displayed at once in such high degree that with a minimum of delay our schools were reopened on a sound basis. For the Seniors, the completion of our full four year course was thus made possible; for low'er classes there was assurance for the future; for all there was perhaps an even greater boon than these in the contemplation of a community rising in loyal defense and support of its youth. Therefore in grateful appreciation of material result and in- spiring example we dedicate this Bruin to the concept of noble citizenship embodied in the men and women of our community. “If this fail, The pillar'd firmament is rottenness, And the earth's base huilt on stubble ORDER OF BOOKS FACULTY CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS FEATURES Thirteen Nineteen Fifty-Three Seventy-One ATHLETIC Eighty-One c o N T E N T S Behold! The Great Raft! This immense tangle of debris that started by a few jammed cypress Jogs, augmented to such a size as to take twenty-four years to clear. It began its hindrance to navigation before the earliest French explorers set foot oil the present-day Louisiana and was not cleared until 1833. When the impediment was finally removed by the United States, large trees were found growing on it and in several more years the channel of the river would have found a new course. I he Red River with its tributaries and great raft pictures the theme of this entire book, which deals with its navigation. As this map is the virtual gateway to a re- production of Bolton's school life, it represents that section whence our school and our community have developed. 7 This was a its waters from Alexandria and familiar scene on Red River during the days when palatial steamboats plied its junction with the Mississippi as lar north as Shreveport, bringing cargoes to other cities along tin� hanks. The era of “the good old times in Louisiana reached its palmiest days when the cotton, sugar, and rice of Red River valley were carried by steamboat down the Red to the Mississippi, thence to New Orleans and the world markets. Prosperous plantations with their spacious mansions, gleaming through avenues of moss-draped liveoaks dotted the hanks of the Red. These silent sentinels tell tin traveler the story of a magnificent past. J� s’ The song of the negroes, as thev rolled hogsheads of sugar and hales of cotton aboard the steamboats bound for New Orleans, attracted to the fertile lands along the Red men who counted money and slaves in large figures. rI he Civil War freed the slaves, and the coming of railroads crippled river transportation; hut out ol the stupendous extravagance ol steamboating came tin. commercially prosperous Louisiana of today. The old Louisiana of steamboat days is but an eadio to the Louisiana of today. The romance, charm and picturesqueness of the towns along the Red have given way to the inroads of prosperous city life. THE ENTRY OF THE ARMY OF MAJOR-GENERAL NATHANIEL P. BANKS INTO ALEXANDRIA IN 1863 The first occupation of Alexandria during the Civil War was marked hy the fleet of gunboats shown above. General Banks defeated the Confederate forces in a hot skirmish at Patterson, captured the fortified position of Butte la Rose on the Atchafalaya, and joined Commodore Farragut at the mouth of Red River. After forcing the evacuation of Fort DeBussy, General Banks brought the army and fleet to Alexandria. A fortnight later the fleet moved down the river by Simmsport and Bayou Sara to the seige and capture of Port Hudson. 10 FEDERAL GUNBOATS PASSING THROUGH BAILY DAM ON RED RIVER AT BAYOU RAPIDES ABOVE ALEXANDRIA From the earliest explorations of Red River valley, a serious obstruction to navigation during low water periods was the rapids, a rocky ledge breaking up through the bed of the river. After the defeat of the Federal forces at Mans- field ill 1864. a fleet of gunboats retreating down the river found that there was not sufficient depth of water on the rapids for the gunboats to pass down. Lieutenant-Colonel Bailv performed a remarkable feat of engineering in the construction of a dam from any material available. He completed the work in eleven days, backed up the water, and brought the fleet over “the rapids. “All are architects of Fate W or king on these nails of Time. 12 ■ The great Red River Raft was formed by the driftwood in the river gathering together to make an almost solid mass which extended completely across the river in the northwestern portion of Louisiana. Captain Henry M. Shreve, in company with Captain Woodruff of the United States Engineer’s Corps, succeeded in removing it, at a point where a settlement known as Shreve’s Landing was established, which we know today as the City of Shreveport. In like manner the faculty of Bolton High School has done all in its power to aid all the pupils through their high school careers. Every possible obstacle which might in any way interfere with their journey has been removed. The monument to the work of the faculty is Bolton High School, which has grown from a tiny school to a very large institution. 13 S. M. BRAME Principal and Acting Superintendent of Rapides Parish Schools J. 1). SMITH, Assistant Principal and Acting Principal MISS MARY THORNTON, Dean of Girls MISS MARY ELIZABETH LISSO, Secretary “Nor marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme” So spoke Shakespeare, that eminent hard who is always accurate in his interpretation of life; and that is how I think of “Bruin” as it appears from year to year, hearing on its pages the living record of your youthful days ami preserving for you and those who will come after you the best that is in your high school life. It may he, as many say, that an annual costs too much, that the effort put into it is out of proportion to its value; that it is the product of a select few; and finally, that “they are all alike as a row of pins.” Admitting all of these indictments, I am of the opinion still that there would be real regret among us if a new “Bruin” did not put in its appearance sometime in the spring. S. M. BRAME. The completion of your high school career is somewhat like the founda- tion of a house. When the cement has set nicely in place the next work may begin without fear of collapse of those parts on which the superstructure rests. Your high school work constitutes your foundation. It can never be un- done. Upon it you will continue to build whether you want to or not, whether you are conscious of it or not. Some of you will go to college, others will continue your education by other means. But your education will continue. Mineral-laden waters drip forever upon the floor of the cave, and the color of the stalagmite is determined by the minerals it incorporates into its structure. Likewise you will make contacts with various influences, you will gain learning from many sources. The final product will he determined by what you have used of these influences in the building of character. Not like the stone, you have the power to reject the undesirable and retain the good. You are gifted with some discretion which, by the way, admits of development and improvement, and is certainly the chief factor in determining what you are going to make of yourself. While all this is taking place do not forget that one of the foremost ob- jectives is how to live so as to get the most out of life. Do not neglect your recreation, and never get too busy to smile. Live as you go along. JOSEPH D. SMITH. 14 Mrs. Margery Spencer B. A., North Texas State Teachers College M. A., Columbia University ART Miss Lillian McGehee B.

I his handicap was overcome to a small extent smaller vessels and portaging them around the impass presented its difficulties. hindrances and obstacles, one encountered all along their by reloading the cargoes on able spots—though this, too. The classes. Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman, all help us across the shallows of High School days. Each class puts us a little further on our journey, and prepares 11s for larger and more outstanding things. When the boats had crossed the shallow places they were ready to continue their journey up the river and just so, when we have finished the shallows ol High School Days, we are ready to continue our voy- age up the River of Life. 19 SENIORS Our boat is about to dock and our destination—graduation—is in sight. A faithful captain and crew have guided us safely through a four-year course, and we shall say “au revoir ' to our many associates. As we look hack we can picture many pleasant experiences on this trip that will always he happy memories in the future. We first entered the steamboat B. H. S. feeling as pioneers and discoverers who explored the rivers in their crude canoes—the first way of traveling on the small waters. Still, we did feel secure in being under the leadership of a crew of such high character and who were so able to teach us the new things that we came to learn. In the form of examinations were our first ob- stacles to progress—like the great raft on Red River which was composed of brush and soil, ap- proximately 160 miles long, the first hindrance to transportation. Most of us banished the obstacles as Captain Shreve cleared up the Great Raft. Into the second year of our cruise we sailed just as transportation once did with its new steamboats. We had become more closely associated with our crew and fellow voyagers. Then began our social life—the taking part in the various activities of the school. Examinations came again to hinder our progress just as the rapids in the Red River kept boats from going past our city. This obstruction was overcome as Lieutenant-Colonel Bailv built the Baily Dam to raise the water over the rapids to permit the Federal gunboats to pass. We then entered into the third year of this most important cruise, corresponding to the development of newer and larger steamboats. A fewr took part in the galley; others spent their time in making a study of mechanics; some looked after the keeping of records of the loading and unloading of provisions; still others made a study of everything in general about the boat. Then our progress was obstructed for the third time by examinations just as the dawn stumps kept boats from traveling the full length of the river; hut this was overcome as the dynamiting of the stumps cleared the way. And now we have finished the fourth and last year of this voyage. We have parted from our crew and passengers; we have overcome the many obstacles that have stood in the way; we have had some of the happiest days that we shall ever see just as the people enjoyed themselves on the elaborate showboats with their grand halls, minstrels, and entertainments that pleased all, old and young alike. The only obstacle in our way now is the Spring Final Examination. Just so the high water stages hindered transportation on Red River at this particular time of the year. A few will find easy sailing. As the boat is docking we line up to pass on ami make room for others who will make this voyage. We look over the line ami see that a few of our fellow passengers have failed to over- come all obstacles and have dropped behind, hut we must pass on. We, the Seniors, wish to thank our pilots for their guidance and patience. We hope others will find them equally as fine as we have. The gangplank is being lowered so we hereby say good-bye to Bolton High School and wish much success to the future passengers of this mighty boat. 20 SENIOR ORGANIZATION J. Y.

The first of the periods is represented by a bronze “B” with the year in form of a guard. The second is a silver pin, the third gold, and the fourth gold embellished with a miniature ‘‘Bolton blue” star, thus enabling an enterprising senior to possess all of these trophies. The honor students of the Senior class of 33-’34 were numerous and deserve special mention. Four-Year Honor Students Juanita Leggio, Floyd Peninger, Roberta DeVIoss, Mabel Hargis, Frances Rubin. Trree-Year Honor Students Velma Louise Adams, Virginia Collins, Julia 37 JUNIORS We have been sailing on the good ship B. H. S. for three years. The first year was the most cliffieult because we were not familiar with the ship and its machinery. The captain. Mr. Bra me, and our pilots, the faculty, worked patiently helping each one to know just how to operate his part of the machinery. The experienced seamen of the upper classes did much toward teach- ing us the customs and laws of the ship. Each of us entered the part of the vessel which we felt would suit us best. Some took up the commercial course, where they found smooth sailing, while others took Latin, which rivaled the Great Raft in being a hindrance to our journey. Besides the educational side, we also entered the social life of the school. We took advantage of tin work in the different clubs which offered an- other opportunity to us to choose a vocation. The school annual and school newspaper offered work to those inclined toward news-writing ami business management. This year we saw one group come on hoard as Freshmen. We recalled how much we had needed friendship and words of encouragement when we were Freshmen so we did what we could to help them. It was also our privilege to help the Sophomores who took our places as we moved on to the Junior year. There is an old Indian legend about Red River, very much like our story of Noah and his ark, which should appeal to us who have seen the river as a raging torrent. They say that long since a civil war broke out among them, which so displeased Enrico, the Supreme Being, that he caused a great flood, which destroyed all hut one family; consisting of fourteen persons, the father, mother, and children. This family was saved by flying to a knoll at the upper end of the prairie which was the only spot uncovered by the water. In this knoll was a cave, where the male and female of all kinds of animals were preserved. After the flood had continued one moon, they set a bird, called by them ()-Wah.’ at liberty, which returned in a short time with a straw. The family then set out on a raft in search of the place, from whence the straw was brought, and pursuing a west course for two leagues, they came to land.” One is reminded of this legend when he sees his classmates drop behind. All along our journey some of our number have had a narrow escape from falling overboard, while some have been left behind for various reasons. We are still looking forward to the time when we will be full-fledged Seniors, and we are preparing ourselves for the most important yet dangerous part of our high school career—our last year of High School Days. After this, some will choose a ship bound for higher education or make the ben of our high school training by finding jobs. The old boats that plied up and down Red River long ago would sometimes stop at the towns along the way ami have a long party, inviting all the people of the town to come and enjoy tin merrymaking. Occasionally the good ship B. H. S. stops for some joyous occasions, among them the circus, carnival, school dances, entertainments, and we also invite the people of the town to help us in our fun-making. The early Spanish colonists were the third nationality to settle in Louisiana. Some of these Spaniards were very outstanding and meant much to the early settlers of our state, so their names shall ever be found in Louisiana history. We are the third group, this year, in our high school journey. Many have been good sailors thus far and many will continue to do good work until all the journey of High School Days is over. The outstanding work that they have done will help make interesting history for those who read of Bolton High School in the vears to come. 38 JUNIOR ORGANIZATION JACK DANIELS, President Term VI GUY MILNER.

H. S., which, in use since nineteen hundred and twenty-six, looked beautiful and strong as it stood anchored ready to take them on hoard. These girls and hoys, however, realized that much work would he required to set this ship sailing and to keep it sailing. Knowing that many different tasks must be performed to make the voyage a success and feeling each one must assume some part of the work, decisions were made and the work began. Some thought of Bienville and his French companions who. in order to explore Bed River and Red River country, were willing to wade in water up to their waists and work steadily on with sleety rain falling in their faces. These Frenchmen wanted to impress upon the Indians that they had come to stay, and were not to be put out by such small matters as cold winds and icy waters. Just so. some of these Sophomores were brave enough to face dangers and endure hardships, so they went out for athletics. Some had the courage to tackle mathematics, while others thought they could do English and the foreign languages. As is found in any group of girls, there were in this group some who would enjoy good things to eat and pretty clothes to wear, so they took up Home Economics. After all had been assigned some definite task, they set sail. In olden times transportation on Red River was difficult because the bed of the river had many snags and, too, the rapids near Alexandria made it difficult for the boats to pass them in safety. Near Shreveport the river banks were not so steep and during very high water the river spread over the swamps. Many logs, dirt, and drift, along with the sandbars, caused the Great Raft in the river which blocked the passage of boats for many miles. In those days the crews of the boats worked faithfully for they looked forward each year to the time of Mardi Gras when they took their families on boats to New Orleans for the great show. Just so, these Sophomore girls and hoys were ready for the snags of the daily lesson assign- ments. 1 hey knew that in order to get safely over the “rapids” of six-weeks’ tests they would have to do each assignment well. After passing the rapids the sailing was smooth for a while. We recall, with interest, the smiles of joy and mirthful glee of the crew as they stopped for a little time to enjoy the gala occasions such as the circus, hall games, track meets, and the annual Bruin hop. Ma ny extra hours of study were needed to pass safelv the big whirlpool of mid-term examina- tions. I hen came the contests between the ship, Bolton High School and other high schools of the state. Many Sophomores wanted B. H. S. to race with other boats so they worked many hours overtime in order to enter tin� race. Some of the races between the other schools included track meets, the rally, debates, and other literary events. I he basketball games and boxing matches on Friday evenings gave excitment and fun after a week s work. We cannot forget the anxiety of many as they neared the Great Raft of final examinations. I hey know it meant many weeks of review and many hours of hard study and worry to clear the way so that all could safely pass through the raft. Our voyage is half over and we hope that all will profit by past experience so that the last two years of the cruise will be easy sailing. If we will heed the counsel of our pilots, the instructors, when the vovage is over we may point to B. H. S. with pride and sav “There is the ship that brought us safely through the peaceful and the treacherous waters of High School Days.” 46 SOPHOMORE ORGANIZATION GEORGE FOOTE, President Term III DOLLO DAVIS, President Term IV FRANK CHANDLER, Vice-President Term III BAILEY RICHARDSON, Vice-President Term IV JEFF TATUM, Secretary-Treasurer Term III SYLVIA SPENGLER, Secretary-Treasurer Term IV 47 Top Rote: Margaret Dantin, Ada Mae Aycock, Mamie Guinn, Myrtle Irving.

PRICE, Vice-President Term II KATHERINE LAMBERT, Vice-President Term I VERA CHESTNUT, Secretary-Treasurer Term II GERTRUDE DUPREE, Secretary-Treasurer Term I FRESHMEN Long years ago tlie Indians christened transportation on Red River, which in its very infancy consisted of a ride downstream on logs. Finally, however, a potential Robert Fulton discovered that if he hollowed out the trunk of a tree lie could not only float donwstream faster hut could even pull upstream. Following the path of least resistence, he hollowed out cypress logs, devices to which the French gave the name pirogue and which are still used in the southern part of Louisiana. In the Freshman’s infancy at Bolton High he also is as unknowing of the customs, rules, and behavior of this school as the Indians were of the currents, quicksands, and underflow of the Red. It means a struggle to the Freshman just as it meant to the Indian who started a great enterprise by beginning transportation on the river. Thus every Freshman hopes to start a great career. Many are the difficulties encountered in the beginning of any project, the mastering of ideas and customs, the adjustment to new contacts and surroundings. Probably the Indian was not aware of these changes when he turned from land to the more convenient waterways, but soon he realized such difficulties as the “great raft.” In its early stages this was a mass of debris collected on a few jammed logs, located between Shreveport and Natchitoches. The water could seep under this formation, hut for transportation it was necessary to portage the cargo around by means of land routes. Another peculiar feature of this raft was that it gradually moved down- stream a few miles each year, growing on its north side as it moved, and thus becoming an ever increasing menace to navigation. So it remained until the white man with his superior intellect came along and removed this hindrance. Other foes of early navigation for the Indian in his light boat were sand-bars. When con- fronted by the sand-bar problem he would go around instead of digging a channel through it. 1 hat is also one ol the great pitfalls of many a freshman—the habit of skipping and avoiding a hard task without digging through it. The Freshman might well look upon the Indian’s navigation troubles and triumphs as the small beginning of a great project. 50 GIRLS II Top Row: Fern Franklin, Jewel Anderson, Mary Luva Collier, Rose Laniontina, Vera Chestnut.

Boat-building was an important industry on Red River. Pirogues, on up to brigan- tines ami finally gigantic steamers themselves—all found their way into the hands of skilled artisans. It is hard to realize the effort which went into the making of these vessels. The greatest minuteness of detail was required in the plans; and extreme care and a spirit of working together was of necessity instilled into the very soul of the workers. Then the finished product was n?ar perfect and ready to be launched upon its career of usefulness. Like to the building of a boat is the organization and cooperation ol pupils in their clubs. As they work with each other and develop valuable social contacts, they are building helpfulness ami tact and poise—all the qualities valuable to a strong character —until they, too, can be launched upon the River ol Life. 53 Top Row: Jimmy Lumkin.

BRUIN, 1934 The Bruin staff of 1934 was faced with the task of putting out an annual in half the time required in previous years for a cost reduced approximately half. The means of making expenses was limited to advertising and subscriptions—the rates on even these being considerably less than formerly. It was a difficult task and one which must result in a hook up to its predecessors in standard. Besides the staff pictured here, several others rendered valuable assistance—chief of these being Herman Landry, typist. To the help and supervision of our willing sponsors was a great measure of our success due. Mrs. Longmire, the faculty sponsor, has given time and energy during its entire making to pro- duce an annual worthy of Bolton in its every aspect. Mrs. Spencer, art adviser, has rendered invaluable assistance with the theme and illustrations. Mr. Richardson, business adviser, has we hope, found the income from the sale of hooks and advertising sufficient to meet the ex- penses. To them we. the staff, wish to express the most sincere appreciation. Our school publication has come a long way since the first tiny pamphlet which Bolton called the Bruin. Gradual improvements and expensive additions gradually led the hook from a mere account of the graduating class to a stupendous enterprise involving tin� whole school and requiring many workers, to an annual which last year required approximately eighteen hundred dollars to publish and was rated class “A” bv the National Scholastic Press Association. 54 CUMTUX Top Row: Stewart Pope, Joe Peters, Alvin Rubin, Wheadon Bloch.

It is to promote better feeling toward the United States and Mexico; and to do this, they have revised their duties in this club, such as writing letters, half in Spanish and half in English, to some English club in Mexico which, in turn, answers them in a like manner.

NEWCOMERS’ LITERARY SOCIETY 9 Brilliance peeped through tall windows and lit up the miniature waves with their monot- onous lap, lap against the smooth sides of the floating palace. Light laughs, mingled with gay music and the sound of dancing feet and tinkling glasses, floated out on the night air as the boat fairly rocked with revelry. The aristocracy of old Louisiana was having a ball. A beautiful and glamorous feature of boating on Red River was the numerous parties held on its broad decks and in gigantic ballrooms. Stately ladies with their courtly escorts all added their bit to make the evening a success. No less important a part of Bolton is its social life. Embodied in carnival and numerous other entertainments—besides everyday gatherings—it is a valuable side in tin students lives offering numerous contacts with other pupils who have entirely different outlooks. 71 y pL' Best Athlete Best Athlete Best All Bound Girl Best All Round Boy Most Popular .Most Popular Best Dressed Best Dressed Wittiest Wittiest Senior Flirt Senior Flirt i oueen. cARmvAL 33™3f MARDI GRAS Queen: Mary Smith.

Colonial Louisiana with its glamour and quaintness was the theme of Bolton’s annual car- nival hall of this year. A colorful pageant of old Louisiana showed the history in song and dance numbers, and the days of old Louisiana under the golden flag of Spain and the fleur-de-lys of France. Queen Mary Smith and King John Pegues Kelley were the chosen rulers over the local sub- jects. The Queen presented a lovely picture in her gown of “white rose ’ satin made stately bv graceful semi-satin drop shoulders and silver hows. The Carnival presented the multi-colored pageant of Louisiana history ranging from the early days of LaSalle’s exploration to the rule of the present carnival queen. Charming and picturesque were the manners and customs of Colonial days as portrayed in a romantic balcony scene, showing the patio of a house on the Rue Roy ale. The next step in the presentation of the history was the arrival of the casket-girls, so called because they brought their trousseaus in small satchel-like caskets when they came to New Or- leans to become the brides of the Louisiana soldiers who were tired of bachelor life in the bar- racks. Indian braves from the White Apple village stalked across the scene presenting the life of the first Louisianians. The ghosts of Jean Lafitte and his pirate crew gave a fascinating interpre- tation of life of the romantic outlaws of the Barataria coast. Finally the plantation scene, giving a cross-section of pickaninny gaiety. An historical scene showed the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France and from that country, over the protests of England, to the Republic of the New World, our own United States. The Carnival ended with the call-out dance, a yearly feature of the carnival, in which many lucky girls were presented with favors hv the masked “call-outs. ’ The call-out dance was fol- lowed by gay general dancing.

On hoard each ship was an efficient captain and crew; hut as the Clermont’s crew was more efficiently trained and the captain more daring and progressive, just so are Bolton s teams captained and trained. As the Clermont overcame impediments to navigation in the treacherous waters of the Red River and came into port victorious, Holton has, likewise, vanquished many rival teams. Bolton's flag is flying a little higher this year: her seasoned captains are justly proud; and the student body has a record of a hon voyage in 1933-34 to maintain in coming years. 81 FOOTBALL. 1933 1.

BEAR FACTS Did you know that Bolton plays Hammond High School in football next year for the first time? Haunnond is Coach Nesom’s Alma Mater. Bolton heat the Louisiana College Freshmen this year in a charity game, 7-0, although Bolton’s team was outweighed twenty pounds to a man. Both our varsity football coaches hail from Louisiana State University with three years of varsity football from that institution. Bill Wroten was the only player that participated in every quarter of every game in 1933. It might he interesting to know that our good team this year had one man in the backfield that weighed over one hundred forty-five pounds and two linemen that weighed over one hundred sixty-five pounds. About that Shreveport game: We had never seen the boys in blue play better. They met their first defeat in points, but we don't feel that way about it. They made more touchdowns, we made more first downs; but somehow they don’t count first downs. Bolton scored a hundred eighty-two points to our opponents’ twenty this year. Jack Daniels will pilot our 1934 eleven. Good luck. Jack. Hope you do as well next year as we think you will. “It was a good season,” Mr. Bra me says; “it's the best record weVe had in twelve vears.

The quintet went through the season playing twenty-two games and losing only one of these contests to Lecompte by a very close score. Then this fine work was continued in the Central Louisiana Rally as the team swept over all their opponents and finally won the Central Louisiana championship. After this they went to the State rally at Baton Rouge, and in a big upset were eliminated by losing a hard-fought game to Istrouma High School. This closed the season with the remarkable record of winning twenty-six games and losing only two. Dwight Pardue, a fine player and star guard, was placed on the All State Team.

Henderson, who has held the position of coach ever since. The very first season of hard practice was rewarded by the state championship. For a second year Bolton pugilists made a remarkable showing. The spring of 1933 displayed some hard fought and skillful bouts. This time, however, competition was keener, and although they captured as many points, the hoys were defeated for the championship and emerged second in state honors. The infant form of athletics has grown enormously to become one of the high school's leading interests. Especially to he commended is the work of Kay Blalock, twice heavy- weight champion of Louisiana, as well as that of Thurman Pardue and Morris Bohrer, also two-year state champions.

Some of her famous stars have almost become by-words in that realm and are equalled only by the oncoming teams, and it is those which we see and know. Nineteen hundred thirty-three proved a year rich in broken records and victories for our school. There were ten new records set in Bolton's own sphere hv our track stars—Billy Buchanan, Edmund Normand, Vance Hancock, Joe Johnston. Donald Siple. J. Y. Duncan, and the four hoys composing the relay—Johnston. Buchanan, Willett, and Hancock. A state record was set by Johnston, Buchanan.

Under the instructions of Coach W. A. Peters many “dark horses” have developed into champion players. Bol- ton s name has advanced in the realm of truly good teams. In 1933—more than ever—the team displayed skill and grace in its matches. Represented hy Mary Catherine Proctor, Bless Wilson, C. E. Ewing, and John Edgar, in the North Louisiana Rally. Bolton captured three of the first places out of a possible four. The girls singles title went to Bless Wilson and the doubles to her and her partner, Mary Catherine Proctor, C. E. Ewing won the boys’ singles. It was at the State matches, though, that the real test came, hut Bolton emerged victorious, with the state championship. Mary Catherine Proctor was awarded a crown for girls' singles while Bless Wilson and C. E. Ewing captured the mixed doubles trophy. As a worthy successor to this renown, 1934 proved to he equally as fruitful. Particularly promising were Garrett Stewart, Nadine Boots, Ruth Bunn, Janet Edgar, Sidonie Scott, Anna Ayres, Stewart Pope, Johnny Cantrell, and Richard Powers. These players elected for their captain, Garrett Stewrart, and as alternate-captain, Nadine Boots. By the end of March the season was well under wav. Only two high schools—Ouachita and Neville—had defeated the team on the court in beautifully played games. Bolton had more points to their credit than any of the other competitive high schools. 1934 SCHEDULE Bolton 8 DcRidder 2 Bolton 5 DoRidder 1 Bolton 3 Ouachita Bolton ') Ouachita 2 Bolton 5 Neville 7 Bolton 8 Neville 8 T E N N I S 87 G I R L S B A S K E T B A L L HAZEL GLOVER’S BASKETBALL TEAM Faye Yoist, Della Broussard, Mary Henderson, Hazel Glover, Adeline Greniillion, Rosalie Masters.

The basketball team, under the guidance of Coach Hardy Beseler, won the Central Louisiana championship and out of the twenty-five games was defeated in only two. The squad went through a long season with an unusual string of victories—only to lose in an upset at the state tournment. A star guard on the team, Dwight Pardue, was honored with a position on the All-State team. Boxing was equally successful and the 1932 State Champions entered the meet at L. S. U. after having suffered only two losses. The team emerged with second rank in the entire state. Captured by Morris Bohrer was the 98-pound title and by Ray Blalock, the heavyweight. Coach N. C. Henderson deserves along with the boxers the team’s honors. Bolton should be proud, and justly, too, of the tennis team. This sport, though only recently revived and provided with a regular coach, has become a vital part of the school’s supervised sports. The team made a clean sweep of all its matches, winning both Central and State Cham- pionships. Mr. W. A. Peters was wholly repaid for his faithful efforts to strengthen Bolton in this sport. In track the school's success continued to swell. For the first time in eleven year and by our own 1933 wingmen was Baton Rouge defeated in a dual meet. Bolton’s undefeated season was climaxed by the North and Central Louisiana and State Championships. Coach Guy Nesom had also two individual state champions: Captain J. Y. Duncan, in the hop, step, and jump, and J. A. Higgins, in the javeline throw. “The best team in history” was what was said about the football eleven. Playing through a difficult ten-game schedule, the Bears dropped one close 7-0 decision to the C. E. Byrd High School of Shreveport, out- gaining their rivals in the contest with eleven first downs to their five. Named on the All-Southern team were Robert Corley, tackle, and Guy “Cotton Milner, fullback. The teams picked by Town Talk and the Shreveport Times included Milner as All-State and All-North Louisiana; Simpson, All-State and All-North Louisiana second team, and Corley, third All-State and on both North Louisiana teams. Three of the school’s coaches worked together to put out so fine a team—Guy Nesom, head coach: Bill Allen, line coach, and N. C. Henderson, backfield mentor. Taken as a whole this is probably the most successful year in athletics any high school in the state has enjoyed. Certainly it is one of the most successful in Bolton High School’s history. A T H L E T I C S 89 FINIS The Bruin of 1934 is indebted to many people scattered far and wide over the state for contributions forwarding its success. Most valu- able, perhaps, of all was the cooperation and interest shown by Bolton High School, particularly the Senior Class, in putting out tin annual. Without this encouragament the staff and its ready faculty advisers could have accomplished little; without it the publication would have been a failure—as a hook worthy of our school as well as from a financial standpoint. For valuable information included between the covers, too, the staff is deeply grateful. It would have been impossible to give a true picture of life on the Red River without the courteous assistance of the Alexan- dria Daily Town Talk, Mr. I. W. Sylvester. City Engineer; Mr. J. Faire Hardin and Mr. D. A. Somdall, both of whom live in Shreveport and whose magnificent libararies were a source of interesting material. It was the Alexandria Town Talk which was generous enough to lend us invaluable pictures representing different phases of river trans- portation, the most interesting of which are reproduced in the front of the hook and add immeasureably to its authenticity. I o all these the Bruin, embracing the staff and its sponsors, wishes to express the deepest appreciation. We hope that with their help we have been able to produce an annual of interest as a cross-section of Bolton High School life and as a picture of the previous days on Red River. If in reading the book you have got from it something of the pleasure and interest that was injected into its making, the stafi feels more than re- paid for its efforts.
