How true this time-worn phrase is as applied to our Bolton High! Tall and majestic, Bolton is a fitting setting for a major production with a star-studded cast. Every room and every corridor is equipped with material that enables the cast to disolay its talents unhindered. A beautiful setting is not the only requisite of a successful play. Performances must be smoothly rend- ered. And though this is not always possible in a play with so large a cast, it is felt by all of us that the result obtained through the united efforts of the students who are the actors and the teachers who are the directors has proved most satisfactory. For while our play shows tears, it also reveals laughter; while it shows shameful failure, it also displays brilliant triumph. Thus we have reason to feel proud of the student and faculty coopera- tion that made possible this play whose sold purpose is to put the unexcelled ability of the cast to useful purpose. In this, the fifteenth edition of the Bruin, the staff has endeavored to review the play of school life as it moves forward from 1939 into 1940, and each member sincerely hopes these efforts merit your applause. The Curtain Rises Contents: Faculty Classes Features School Life Athletics Organizations TO WILLIAM ASBURY PETERS In recognition of the genial personality of this grand old man and his untiring years of service to school and community; in appreciation of his leadership in fostering the success and growth of the school; in acknowledgment of his amazing achievements as full- time director of the Bolton tennis team; in deep regret of both Faculty and Student Body that he is called to another position, we, the members of the Senior class, dedicate this, the 1940 Bruin. W. A. PETERS i The setting for a realistic drama Faculty The success of a play is in large measure due to its directors who exert every effort in order that the actors may give the best performances. In much the same manner Bolton's teachers assume this role in the school life of every student. From the day a pupil enters this school as a Freshman to the day he bids farewell as a Senior, he is a special charge of the teachers. In their hands lies the duty of supervising every scene in- cluding extra curricula activities as well as the regular curriculum. A well- rounded school life background of every graduate is the reward of four years of intensive training and constant guidance. The teachers give much of their time cooperating with students, in various activities outside of the regular courses of study. Some part of their day is devoted to club work. Character clubs, language clubs, and many others are carried on by those who are willing and glad to give their time. Every outside event, including football and basketball games and rally contests are sponsored by our faculty. Assembly programs are made interesting and entertaining with the acclaim going to the teachers. Coaches willingly give themselves whole-heartedly to the job of turning out football, basketball, and track teams of which the school can be proud. Bolton has won Times-Picayune Biggest News trophies. This is largely due to the work of the many teachers who work untiringly with the pupils in getting out prize-winning essays. Major attractions such as the carnival and various entertainments are planned and carried out by the members of our faculty Our school is given the chance of keeping up to date in having a school annual and a weekly school paper. This is made possible by the cooperation of the teachers with the students who are attracted to this field. Countless other influences could be named without nearing the mark which denotes our faculty's contributions towards making this a better school. As a director always puts his stars above himself so the teachers of Bolton High School remain in the background until their rightly deserved honor comes. This honor to be called master teacher has already come to a large number of the members of Bolton's faculty. 10 PRINCIPAL AND PRODUCER S. M. BRAME To the Editor and Staff of Bruin: JURING the past several months you have sought to portary by word and picture the way of life in Bolton as it is today; and though you have dealt with fancy as well as with facts, you did not build a bridge from dreamland. Rather, you mingled with those in the corridors, you communed with those in the classrooms, you encouraged the soldiers of the athletic field and gossiped with the groups that gathered on the campus to catch the spirit of Bolton. This you did, and it now speaks to us from the pages of Bruin. It is a pleasant task, well done, and a living record of your memory. Congratulations and best wishes .... but stop, listen, look! Who are those eager-eyed youngsters coming in as you are about to make your exit? The Staff of 1941 .... Bruin marches on ... . MISS MARY THORNTON Dean of Girls MR. JOSEPH D.

Likewise the students in a school determine its reputa- tion or standing. For as the actors in a drama should convey its basic idea to the audience, so the classes, the cast in the drama of school life, should display worthwhile accomplishments to interested onlookers—And Bolton High School is no exception. Therefore the students, who make up the cast, have made many attempts, some fruitful, others fruitless, to deserve applause. Most actors embark upon their careers in insignificant bit parts. These, we compare to our freshmen. They have enthusiastically made their debut on the stage of Bolton High in the season of 1940. Already favorable criti- cisms have been received from the Directors, and through their own efforts they have become worthwhile additions to our cast. After a season of harrowing experiences, cheerfully made possible by the more adept members of the class, certain former nondescript individuals have finally mounted a step that leads toward stardom—they are sophomores. Imbued with the wisdom one attains after a year of nervous exhaustion, they have expertly filled the shoes of the former occupants of the sophomore pinnacle. On the brink of stardom are the players whom we know as juniors. They have endured the untold hardships of beginners and have successfully paved a way for themselves. They, alone, in this drama, are placed in that in- tangible position known as a happy medium. To those who are standing on the top step of the ladder of success, let us give a big hand. They are our stars, our seniors. And though never again will they act in a drama of high school life, it is inevitable that some of them will attain heights of stardom greater than the most fertile imagina- tion can reach. Lest you forget the talents and achievements of individual players, in this unique drama, we present to you the entire cast. 20 Seniors SPRING WALTER McMURRY President NORMAN WALKER Vice-President LOUISE PETERMAN Secretory FALL EUGENE BRADFORD President SEYMOUR JOSEPH Vice-President JASPER CICERO Secretary Four years of high school represents to a student the happiest years of his young life. Most of us, in the days in which we first entered the portals of Bolton High School formed an ambition to do something worthwhile and be recorded in the history of this school. Now that the time has come for us to leave we are able to recall the past four years and see whether or not our ambition hos been fulfilled. Out of a class in which there was distinction even at first, have risen able school leaders and willing followers. Many honor roll students, Big- gest News prize winners and rally contestants, business managers and editors of school publica- tions, outstanding athletes and campus leaders may be traced to this class. There was much work, but along with this work there has been plenty of fun. Remember? The football games, the basketball games, the cross- country trips, four grand carnivals, the marvelous dances, the lovely campus beauties,—we'd better stop now, we could go on and on remembering all the things we did. Yes, those days are gone forever. Quite often we have been told that we would rue the day when our high school life drew to a close—but, needless to say, those noble people who sc worthily advised us in this matter were ignored in a most convincing manner. We had amb'ticn, but nevertheless, we knew that we would L' a!cd when it was all over and we were out of th:s dump. 22 Now we realize the truth that lay in the advice given us. We know that high school life is over and we feel that nothing we will ever do or think will be as much fun as those days. While some sat by calmly and let the days go by without getting the best out of them, others did not waste these precious moments, but strived to fulfill their cherished ambitions. Many names will be added to Bolton's Hall of Fame and long remembered by the faculty and future graduating classes. Those who used every agency and resource in the school to develop character and intellect will walk in the pleasant ways of life. Thus, because this class has become such an integral part of the history of the school, it can be assured that it will bring credit and fame to the future alma maters of its members. Not only may the class of '40 secure fame and prosperity in the future—but may the class of '40 forever remember Bolton High. _yrfe ■'fti t ' 'd cerr rr f eu or.i. 23 SENIORS DRUE ABBETT “To women, beauty is what money is to men, power!” Newcomer� Club, '.'16; Spanish Club, ’36- 37: Dramatic Club. ’37-’38: Glee Club.

Juniors SPRING LLOYD BELL President CARLTON LOWREY Vice-President AVICE FLYNN Secretary FALL JOE DROUET President DORIS CARLINO Vice-President JAMES LAIN Secretary Life's eyes glonce toward the third act as she picks up her program sheet. Juniors stands out in bold letters. We feel that we have an important role in the play, for we have suffered and survived the life through our first, second, and now ending third year. People are prone to forget us as we are not new to the school as the Freshmen are, or getting over our harrowing experiences as Sophomores, or going out as Seniors. We are just inbetweens. This makes it necessary for us to accomplish things that will bring us into the limelight. However, we feel that we have done our job satisfactorily. We have trained students who are ready and willing to step into the places left vacant by outgoing Seniors. They are confident, their sureness being backed by three years of hard work. We take great pride in presenting our honor students, debaters, future editors, and even football stars. During the year the Juniors usually led with the largest number of students on the honor roll with many making a straight A average. Biggest News first places were captured by a few of us, not to mention the many meritorious essays. Our debaters did not fail their school in living up to its expecta- tions. Also from our body, editors for Cumtux and Bruin, and leaders of other prominent school activities were chosen. The first two years as students of this great in- stitution we led hurly-burly lives because our last two years seemed so far away. Now that the end 42 is near, we are sobering up and wondering if our stay will be short and sweet or long and drawn out. We have learned the rules of Bolton and the techni- que of getting by. Our excuses to the chief directors are, because they are more intelligently framed, passable. However, before we get too high and mighty, we must admit we got our share of failures. We take pride in admitting that we have gained much more than added sophistication during these past few years. Our ups and downs as actors par- ticipating in the engrossing play of school life have taught us to value integrity and to respect the superior guidance of those who direct our course. After all, we are only small parts in the important whole, and it is our duty to make the most of these privileges being afforded us. May we feel in our hearts that we have done our best when the final curtain goes down on our four act play.

And all the teachers merely wardens. They have their faults and their fancies, And one teacher in his time plays many parts, His acts being to guard our seven stages. At first the attendance teacher, Correcting us and guiding us from harms And then the English teacher, scowling and frowning, When e'er we choose to call a verb a noun. Then the study hall teacher, with pencil In one hand and demerit pad in other. Sudden and quick in writing when we choose to talk. Then the captivity period, where we are held Captives for awhile, deep in study, or So the teacher thinks! Then the bookkeeping teacher (Mr. Knighton), With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances. And so he plays his part. Then the history teacher with map cn wall And rule in hand, to point the places We all should know so well. Last scene of all that ends this strange, Eventful day, the kept-in room, where Lo, we find, second childishness and mere oblivion Sans tablet, fans book, sans everything. 49 Sophomores SPRING JACK KING President MARIETTA HINTON Vice-President CECIL GALASPY Secretory FALL HAROLD LEE President DELIA HOOE O'SHEE Vice-President BILLY NOONE Secretary And here we are, Sophomores! Believe it or not, we have safely endured a year of the humble life of a Freshman and almost a year of the engaging life of a Sopomore. In other words, having made our debut, we have safely launched upon our careers in the drama of high school life—and we are not merely copies of the same pattern, for among us are some of the cleverest ingenues. For surely it cannot be denied that we, with much tact and understanding, guided the careers of the new members of our cast, the Freshmen—as dignified Sophomores should. By making them the butt of our jokes and the victims of our pranks, we have only sharpened our wit and increased our assurance, besides helping them. All joking aside, let's see what we've actually done. Many of our members are really deserving of praise. From our ranks have been chosen mem- bers of outstanding honorary societies, such as the Debating, the Boosters, the Band Boosters, the P. W., and the Press Clubs. We have two campus favorites, three cheerleaders, a president of the Senior Forensic Society, and other oustanding orators and journalists. Many of our members have participated in the Biggest News Contest, and the Central and State Rallies. In our midst are 50 rising athletes, many of whom have done outstand- ing work—and to top that, there are more of us than any one class. Don't think that any of this has made us conceited, though, for it hasn't. We only want you to know us when you see us, and realize that we will some day reach stardom. Star- dom we cherish as our fondest ambition and we are working toward the day when this ambition will be realized. no rr 6. 51 SOPHOMORES George Adams, Lester Adorns, Mory Louise Ake, Lurleen Ammen, Beverly Applebaum, Wosley Armstrong, Archer Ayres, Dick Baldridge.

Brame is going to expel them if they walk fast in the halls or talk above a loud whisper, they know all the secret signs and ways of getting out of trouble only by following suit of their superior schoolmates, they have copied their actions and become a group of willing under- studies who have more to learn, yet their time will come when they will be the center of attraction and so we hail these young up-and-coming fresh- men as promises of future stardom. f te - j red Am e n . 57 FRESHMEN Claire Abney Cynthia Alexander Frances Alexander Mark Alexander George Allen A.

Interest would dwindle in our production, if the stars were not here, as they are the attractions who capture and hold the interest of the townspeople. First, we see our starlets, the favorites, and our leading lady, the sweet- heart of Bolton High. They were chosen by the student body at large to occupy these positions and— possess most of the talents and abilities neces- sary for stardom. They are Louise Peterman, Bobbie Luckett, Frances Luckett, Betty Hill, Tiny Wilbur, Frances Walker, and Delia Hooe O'Shee. Next we see those whose characteristics set them apart and they have been chosen to enact the character roles in our drama. Acclaimed by the student body for their outstanding personalities, Bobby Elder, Branch Phillips, Nadine Klamke, Charles Gremillion, Normand Walker, Walter McMurry, Louise Peterman, and Eugene Bradford represent the Senior class members. Lloyd Bell, Doris Ann Luckett and Jack King are the cream of the underclassmen. Though the contributions of certain members of the cast are distantly connected with those of stars, still their work behind scenes is most vital to the success of the play. Therefore a plan for recognizing them has been de- vised in a special section dedicated to such characters as straight A students, Bigqest News winners, rally contestants, and others who have contributed to the welfare of the school. Last of all among the attractions comes the most gala and festive occasion of the season—a command performance or Bolton's annual Mardi Gras Carnival. This year's Carnival was entitled The Holidays and, according to all reports, was one of the most beautiful ever held. Billy Hixson acted as master of ceremonies and introduced Lady Louise Peterman and Lord Walter McMurry, Lady Betty Hill and Lord Donald White, Lady Geraldyne Woodall and Lord Benjamin Flynn, and Princess Jewell Younger and Prince Pierce Foster. Then their royal majesties, Frances Walker and Samuel Haas, the Queen and King of Hearts took their places on the throne which had as its background a magnificent red heart and sparkling lattice work, entwined with ivy. Their entertainment consisted of colorful dances carrying out the holiday theme, after which the festive Carnival Ball was held. So, without further ado, we oresent to you our gallery of stars—the at- tractions in our play. 62 Time was when beauty was the most cherished possession a girl could have, but in the past several decades this old belief has been disproved time and time again. In our drama, we have gene back to the old days and we have chosen girls who not only are tops in beauty but also in personality and who possess many other desirable traits. Our spotlight falls on Wesie, lovable and delightfully delightful. She fulfills the requirements of a good trouper in every respect. In the face of defeat, her smile reflects cheerfulness, and understanding; in triumph, her smile reflects praise and congratulations for every member of the cast. Her amber-toned hair, her richly tinted eyes of brown, and her appealing personality, coupled with the ease and grace with which she meets and greets everyone, all go to show why we chose her our leading lady. After she has taken her curtain calls, we turn to our next example of feminine pulchritude—Bobbie, adorable, brown-eyed Bobbie who is closely followed by another member of the Luckett family, Fannie—our beautiful dark-haired belle. Then comes Dinky, sweetness personfied and a favorite of all. Tiny, who follows, is Barbara Ann's sister—need we say more? Now we see Frances, our number one coquette. Dee is next, our popular, sporty cheerleader and ace jitterbug. There we have our favorites topped by the leading lady. What more could we want than Bolton's seven loveliest dam- sels in our drama—wow, what a cast! 64 BOBBIE LUCKETT FRANCES LUCKETT BETTY HILL J TINY WILBUR FRANCES WALKER DELIA HOOE O'SHEE mat r BOBBY ELDER Senior Most Likely to Succeed NADINE KLAMKE Best Dressed Senior Girl NORMAND WALKER Best Boy Athlete CHARLES GREMILLiON Best Looking Senior Boy WALTER McMURRY LOUISE PETERMAN EUGENE BRADFORD Best All Around Senior Boy Most Popular Senior Girl Most Popular Senior Boy Best All Around Senior Girl '' j’ LLOYD BELL Best All Around Junior DORIS ANN LUCKETT JACK KING Best All Around Freshman Best All Around Sopohcmore LEFT TO RIGHT: Virginia Davis, Natalie Scott, Glen Douthit, Stanton Woods, Vernie Mobley, Donald Wynn White, Marvin Welles, Mary Elizabeth Beagle, Gloria Seip, Sam Haas, Virginia Cook, Harold Odom. BIGGEST NEWS One of Bolton's most successful projects during the entire year is the Biggest News Contest. This contest, sponsored by the Times-Piacyune for the purpose of encouraging and discovering future journalists, is the center of attention to students and teachers who cooperate in composing Biggest News compositions worthy of one of the numerous prizes offered. Every Tuesday for twelve weeks, approximately two hundred essays are sent to New Orleans to enter into competition with essays written by students from differ- ent high schools all over Louisiana and Mississippi. Because of this keen competition, we are doubly proud of our unusually fine record. For during the nine years in which we participated in Biggest News contests, Bolton has won six times. In the nineteen-forty contest, Bolton again came out ahead and succeeded in winning the prize trophy. Boosted by an honorable mention in the first part of the contest, student's essays followed suit, winning five first places and a number of lesser prizes. Bolton terminated the contest in the closing week with a landslide of points, winning twenty-five out of a possible twenty-nine. In winning this literary contest, Bolton maintains her high scholastic rating. 70 ALSO FEATURED___ PRUDENCE PAYNE—Senior and four year honor student, whose ability keeps her in constant demand of both faculty and students. GERALDYNE WOODALL—Whose cheerful smile, wholesome person- ality, and willingness to serve set her apart. BEN FLYNN—A gentleman who guided the class of '40 through its stormy junior year. VERNIE MOBLEY—A newcomer with a voice and a personality that becomes anyone. VIRGINIA LEETE—A senior as pretty os a picture and pcssessng the fatal gift of gab. LAULETTE MARCUS—Outstanding honor roll student whose intelli- gence should rate her a place in any hall of fame. CHARLES MORREL—A boy whose energetic efforts os band's librarian helped make the band more successful. MARY ELIZABETH BEAGLE—Whose honor roll rating and work on the Bruin entitles her to recognition. DEWITT BAKER—Another senior whose time has been devoted to his school and his studies. JOHN WAKEMAN—A lively junior who is to be commended for his work on the Cumtux. BETTY EZELL—One of those students who have never made anything but an A average, BILL ADAMS—A worthy addition to the senior class whose versatility has earned for him a place in the school. DORIS GATES and TOM HICKS—Two energetic, talented musicians to whom we are indebted for a large part of our entertainment on assembly programs. 71 FRANCES WALKER SAM HAAS Queen of Hearts King of Hearts i ' WHU HUU 'J Uf HT Princess JEWELL YOUNGER Prince PIERCE FOSTER Betty Hill Donald White Jewell Younger Pierce Foster Frances Walker Sam Haas Geraldyne Woodall Benjamin Flynn Louise Peterma Walter McMurr a. SCHOOL LIFE In our school life, just os on the stage, there is a part which is familiar only to the actors and directors, otherwise known as the students and teachers —the backstage. To the audience of townspeople, Bolton High School is an institution of learning with frequent social functions and athletic combats, but to the students, school life is much more than that. We see in our daily schedules a little bit of everything including such frolicsome curricula as campus courses, budding romances, and political discussions that often reach white heat. Wheedling an admit to the cafe- teria from the office and running to reach class before the second bell rings, plays almost as big a part in our lives as Latin or Algebra. The gossiping groups that congregate in the halls and the K. I. R. can almost be called integral parts of school life. The way the cheerleaders looked when Lafayette made a touchdown or the serious expression of the little boy who walked the straight line in carnival are happenings that we, the students, will unboubtedly remember. Aside from these, in our curricula is also included oratorical skill, char- acter building, physical development, and other traits which go into the com- pletion of the finished student. To these organizations, namely our Bruin and Cumtux staffs, the Press and Character Clubs, and the Physical Educa- tion Department, we are deeply indebted for excellent periodicals and winning Biggest News essays, tournament trophies for our display windows, high ideals, and physical perfection. To our community, how these organizations operate is scarcely known, yet they play a very important part in the casting of each year's play of events. Therefore, it is our intention in this backstage section of our book to portray life at Bolton as it actually is—to give our audience a glimpse of what really goes into the making of our stars. 74 1.

Boys varsity athletics at Bolton are football, basketball, and track. Football predominates ever the other sports and student interest centers mainly on this activity. Before each home game there is a parade and pep meeting in town. When Bolton meets an opponent on enemy soil, there are usually several special busses ond many private cars transporting students and parents alike to see the game and support the home team. Spirit runs high, and all about the campus there are opinions about the outcome of the game, the merits of each teem, and football talk in general. Bolton, sadly lackinq in reserves and experience, failed to equal their records of past years during this last season. Winning only two out of ten games, but playing one of the hardest schedules in the state, the team really deserves much more praise than records might indicate. However, it is expected that next year's football team will cover itself with,glory, due to the experience they have had this year. Basketball has fared exceptionally well in the last few years. The team competes in many tournaments, and olavs manv of the best teams in the state. Basketball always gats a very late start at Bolton due to the length of the football season, and the fact that most basketball men also play foot- ball. With only two or three weeks practice before the first game, Bolton's cage team still proves to be one of the best. Track never fails to furnish keen competition in the sports field, but this sport, like basketball, fails to attract the interest football does. Bolton sche- dules five or six meets a season where the best track teams in the state gather. At the State Rally, where all the teams meet, Bolton last year gained one first place (in low hurdles) and a fine record as a whole. Though in most schools, girls athletics are not given as much attention as boys' sports, they are due a lot of credit. This year under the expert direc- tion of Miss Pearl Bordelon, girls' athletics have been most progressive. The organization of a number cf team sports has brought forth keen interest and a number of girl teams have been scheduled. More than likely, interest in girls' athletics, as well as girls' physical education will increase even more in the near future. In these cases it is easy to see how the cooperation needed in sports is compared to the teamwork necessary in the production of every play. 86 FOOTBALL This year Belton played one of the hardest schedules in football that she has ever had. Because there were no experienced players from last year, the result was not as good as should be expected. However, the main purpose was accomplished, since a sportsmanlike attitude, abundant school spirit, and ardent support were maintained. The first game of the season was with Lafayette. The Bears left home ground and were defeated, 19-0. It was a great disappointment to team and student body, since Lafayette has been conquered by Bolton for a number of years. Then, the team engaged in a hard fought battle with Fairpark and came out the winner by a score of 12-6. The second game played at home was with an old oponent, Lake Charles—this time the Bears were defeated, 26-0. On the fifth of October, the Bears undaunted, made a trip to Baton Rouge to compete with Catholic High, only to be downed 6-0. Minden came 88 here to fight with the Bears and won by a score of 26-6. In the game with Jennings, the Bears were again defeated, this time, 19-6. However, in the last competitive match of the season, Bolton vs. Ouachita, Bolton was triumphant with a score of 7-0. Though the Bears were many times the losers, good sportsmanship pre- vailed throughout the season and men were trained' for coming years. (1 ) Coaches Mattis and Allen. (2) Locomotive in full swing.

They are the ones who ran the field for those touchdowns or who were on the bottom of the twenty-two boys on the field. For these are the boys who have devoted more time to foot- ball than to any other extra-curricula act'v- ity. As a reward for their efforts those who played a required number of hours are priv- ileged to wear the B's which are so promi- nent in the picture. They stand for the hard work put out so earnestly by these boys. And to them we should give most of Ihe credit. For they are the ones who fought when it seemed as though Bolton could never win. They put up their best fighting spirit and pulled through, never stopping for a pat on the back. They knew that in their hands lay the outcome of the football year, so they got to work to accomplish what would be expected of them. All this they did, and though the records show more losses than victories, they were real sports under all cir- cumstances. BACK ROW: Robert Davis, L. C.

About fifty boys fall down, get upi fall down, and get up again. This is one of the many bone-break:ng exercises the spring football candidates have to endure nearly every day for approximately six weeks. Runn:nq through automobile tires, racing, exercising, and drilling puts the boys in suoerb condition until football practice next fall. Spring football training is under the super- vision of Coaches Allen and Mattis. They con- duct this early training period in order to build up the football boys, and to try to have them in the pink of condition for next years' football season. And thev undoubtedly will b°, for under the able direction of cur coaches, these boys are shown what and what not to do in all ohases of football ethics.

More and more the student body looks forward to this time as some of the best athletes in the state com- pete in track. Bolton has arranged for seven meets, one contest with a class AA high school and six group meets. Bolton, with only four lettermen returning, had to mould a new track team out of eighteen prospects. These boys all anxiously looked forward to their first contest, and aimed to equal or better the (eats of past Bolton track stars. This was very hard indeed, as the school holds the state title in several events, and boasts a fine record in other divisions. In this rapidly developing sport much credit is due the boys who make it possible at Bolton to add to the glory and standing of the school.

These baby bears have shown their colors in the past year. They take their training seriously as their goal is to become one of the future football heroes. Afternoons they get out on the athletic field and practice earnestly and faithfully to attain the proper football technique. Then when their time comes for an exhibition they are ready, willing and able. As a record of their football year the Cubs have shown that their streak of luck has been better than their superiors, the Bears. Winning four games, losing two, and tieing two they have shown that their concentrated efforts have not been in vain. If their colors of stardom so well with that training they have these future starlets will rightfully get their a wa rd—bea rdom. TO?

And another sizzling ball skims lightly over the net to add an additional point to the score of one of Bolton's top tennis teams. It seems that taking first places at tournaments and sometimes at Rally has become an inevit- able occurrence for Bolton's teams—n fact, ours is the only one in Rally history which has ever scored all five first places in one year. The team this year scheduled an unusual number of hard competitors. The members took overnight trips as well as the one-day events and returned home with a record to be envied by anyone. But—no wonder! With such coach ng as that of Pop Peters' and Mr. Cummings' and such energetic, as well as competent studen’.s, the tennis teams of today and cf the future are bound to go places!

Tryouts are held and finally the selected men settle down in earnest. With several weeks of practice and a few games played the Bears entered the Tioga tournament. This year our cagers won first place. After three weeks more of competition with other schools, Bolton entered the Oakdale tournament, and were second place winners. These and four more games ended basketball season for 1940. Six returning lettermen and many new pros- pects have formed into a well-balanced team, having won seventeen games this season and lost five. Although basketball is less popular in Bolton than football is, the boys “bring home the bacon in fair share and they deserve a great deal of credit. SECOND ROW: Joe Mule, Neol Strocener, Sonny Walker, William Cutter, Manager; Denzel Wcinwright, Douglas Fowler, Lloyd Bell. FRONT ROW: Malcolm Williamson, John Wakefield, Buck Tarver, Jack Watson. 97 TRACK AND FIELD Last year Bolton entered a track and field team in the Central Louisiana Rally for the first time in several years. As a result, the lady bears managed to score more points than their opponents, thereby receiving first place. The participants were: Juanita Bass: First place in baseball throw and shot put. Marietta Hinton: First place in horseshoe pitching and second place in basketball throw. Elma Wiley: Fourth place in horseshoe pitching, besides meritorious performances by Katherine Rich, Mary Adeline Kerr, Dorothy Broussard, and LeVarne Frederick. This year Bolton loses only Elma Wiley and LaVerne Frederick by graduation. Juanito Bass displayed her athletic ability by setting a new record in the baseball throw and she will be here next year to attain even greater heights. Therefore, we hope that with such excellent material, track and field may in the future continue their wonderful record and win more outstanding honors for Bolton. SECOND ROW: Juanita Bass, Marietta Hinton, Miss Bordelon. FRONT ROW: Catherine Rich, Dorothy Broussard, Mary Adeline Kerr, Alice Louise Hargis. 98 GIRLS' SOFTBALL Softball is the only interscholastic sport in which the girls of Bolton participate. Despite the fact that girls athletics are getting a new start at Bolton, they seem to have eventful and successful years before them. Last year the team played nine games, losing only three. It was awarded a trophy for second place in the annual Glenmora tournament. The team entered the Glenmora tournament. Central Louisiana Rally, and State tournaments this year and many other minor tourneys. Carolyn Jordan's superb pitching has helped the team out of many tight spots, while Juan- ita Bass's home runs have run up the score against our opponents. Since girls' softball is making such headway this year we expect it to do greater things in the future.

Such is the need of organizations in Bolton High School—to bring about cooperation among the students and to set before than an ultimate goal. Our school affords us many opportunities to develop ourselves and our intellect. There are speech clubs, literary clubs, athletic clubs, character clubs, service clubs, journalistic clubs, and language clubs, commercial clubs and those formed for the purpose of boosting the school and the school's spirit in a general way. These were organized to be of use to every student in Bolton and all should use them. Someone once said that one should have a vacation every day. Our organizations give us a chance to have this vacation for we are able to leave the usual routine of school life, forget our work, and for a while participate in something we really like and enjoy. By belonging to several organizations we can get an idea of what we would like to do in later life and whether we would be suited to this particular kind of occupation. Not only do our organizations fulfill this need, however, but they also serve as a source of fun Everyone has its annual picnic or party, and long afterwards, we will remember what grand affairs these were. It can easily be seen that organized we stand, while disorganized we fail —in other words, that by using their organizations, the students or players of Bolton High School will be able to put on a successful play. 100 C U MT U X Journalists—but definitely! The seeing-eye of Bolton to whom we are indebted for many hours of enter- taining as well as intellectual reading—that's Cumtux. The embarrassed, guilty, ecstatic and arrogant expressions on the students' faces every Friday morning may be traced to this publication for Cumtux sees all, hears all, knows all, and tells everything in its scandal sheet. To its staff goes a world of praise and congratulations for putting out one of the best school papers in the country—at least we think so.

PRESS CLUB Bolton's Press Agents Through Bolton's press agents, daily life and events are made public with the help of Miss Thornton, the sponsor. As soon as the curtain rings down on one scene, it is the talk of the town . The reason for this may be easily traced to these energetic journalists. BLUE TRIANGLE Characters Under Construction The Blue Triangle, one of Bolton's character clubs, has devoted many of its programs to the development of its members. Besides striving for improvement of their members, the Blue Triangle has made many contributions to worthy causes, and it is the donor of the two Home Economics medals at graduation.

THE GOOD IMPS Tops in Humor and Mischief While they existed, the Good Imps strived to spread joy and laughter throughout the school and to bring some small measure of happiness to each and every, octor in our play. Though they moy now be dubbed the little club who isn't here , its members are those people who bring out the brighter side of life. P. W. CLUB Pretty Women's Club—we think. Selected because of their scholastic ability these girls who compose one of Bolton's character clubs hove shown great ability the post year doing their club's work. Living up to th3ir motto, Ready, Willing, and Able, they hove been ready when their service was needed, they were willing to give their time, and were capable of giving their assistance to help anyone else.

THE BLUEBIRDS Star-studded Freshies This club, the pride of the Freshman class, is composed of girls from terms I ond II, who, because'of their excellent records in grammar school, were selected to carry on the ideals of the Bluebirds Versatile in its teachings, the club helps its members prepare for future life in Bolton as well as the outside world. More power to them ! GIRLS' CHORUS These Pretty Girls are Like Their Melodies Reviving the music, which had loin almost untoched for several years, Bolton initiated a girls' chorus under the direc- tion of Mr. Robert Gilmore, a new member of the faculty. This club, one hundred strong, is composed of girls whose voices join in melodv to entertain themselves and you. Under the able instruction of Mr. Gilmore the club has increased over half. The chorus, since it has been enlarged, offers itself for services throughout the community. It has been only too glad to ancwer the many requests it has received to sing. They became full-fledged troupers when they made their air debut by giving a thirty-minute program over the local station. And last but not least, they entered the State Vocal Festival at Lafayette in the spring. The beautiful harmony that is produced by uniting the melodious voices of these girls is well worth any effort that has been made to hear them. Not one of the organizations for which the chorus has sung will ever be able to forget the lovely result obtained through excellent training and splendid cooperation. Top Row: Lenelle Wilson.

But them were the good ole days! OCCUPATIONS CLASS Vocational Guidance One of the newest additions to Bolton's curriculum is the vocational guidance department. One of the few of its kind, this division offers courses which will prepare students for the business world immediately after graduation. In the vocational guidance department, pupils study the work in which they ore interested. They attend school in the morn- ing and work in the business concerns in the ofternoon. These two deportments offer eorly training to those pupils who wish to start business life early. Standing, loft to right: Errett Prichard. Ruth Brister. Cecil Robert� , Mr. Smelser, J. C. Morrow.

Without it, careless students could never study, for daily, the staff finds and returns lost books by the hundreds! Well, nearly. TREASURY STAFF Keepers of the Funds One of the most important features of the stage is the box office which con be likened to Bolton's Treasury Staff. Their job is to keep a correct account of the thousands of dollors passing through this office the year around. This is ably done by the students who are selected for this position.

OFFICE STAFF Examples of Machine-Like Accuracy Efficiency is the password into the realms of successful business, so these boys and girls should have no trouble in climbing the ladder of success. By their every motion and act Bolton is made to run more like a well-oiled machine, with never a hitch in its regulated schedule. But life is not always a bowl of cherries for them for, like everyone else, they hove off moments. However, how sad would be the plight of Bolton if these young men and women were to suddenly neglect their jobs (which, of course, is impossible). SAFETY COUNCIL An ounce of Prevention is worth a pound of cure For years Bolton has suffered the agonies of accidents caused by running in the halls, firecracker explosions, ond numerous other dangerous occurrences. This year within the uncanny minds of the faculty was conceived the idea of a student council to promote safety. How well the organization has worked can be seen by the decreases, the number of accidents and one look at the hefty football heroes who govern the body. Top Row: Buster Lowther. Frank Gelardo.

STAMP CLUB All-American Hobbyists Composed of ambitious men who are interested in the stamps that represent each country, this organization has gathered and laid out stamps for various albums. The members have learned of the different tactics employed in forming and distributing stamps and devote their spare time to stamps. In fact about the only thing they don't do is play post office. Rhodes Vowter Junior Townsend Raymond Stout THE CANTEEN They Work in a Cage but That Doesn't Prove Anything The canteen is one of those few places in Bolton where you can forget teachers, books, and K. I. R. while enjoying anything from soup to nuts. Not only do the students enjoy this indulgence but the teachers who spend their entire day satisfying the wants of unruly students announce plans for a slight pause for refreshment at the canteen. And the canteen is just the place for such enjoyment—especially because of the large amount of delicious, and we might add caloric, delicacies which may be found in this students' haven. Seriously, though, the staff of this worthy organization deserves all the praise in the world for their untiring efforts to keep the student body well fed. Made up entirely of students, it is kept on the go from 8:00 until 4:00 o'clock every day, opening coke bottles, changing money, reaching for that box of cookies, or the other kind of gumdrop, etc. So, it is with heartfelt thanks as well as full tummies that we say long live the canteen. 1 22 THE YEAR IN REVIEW ACT I September 5—The curtain rose on the day of all days.

BETTY HILL, Editor. 1 26 -r N ESSENTIAL PART OF EVERY YEARBOOK IS THE t advertisements. These are considered very important because of their value. They are one of the sources by which the cost of printing and issuing the book is secured. The adver- tisements also present to the community the leading business concerns. Many citizens take advantage of the ads brought to their eye by students with yearbooks. Advertisers also benefit by having their advertisements published in this way. As the annuals are distributed throughout the homes by pupils, so are the ads. The advertiser is sure of a wide circulation of his adver- tisements. Students who secure advertisements for their yearbook receive training in business relations. In getting in contact with various business concerns they become acquainted with business life. In pricing ads they acquire the knowledge of figures needed in a business office. The students learn to make decisions concerning the advertising of products or concerns. In order to do this they must know what each separate advertisement stands for and what is backing it up. They must judge whether or not it is suitable for printing in a yearbook. In these ways the student is trained for business relations. Advertisements in a school annual also serve the purpose of tying up the school with the community. Approximately two-thirds of the students of Bolton bought subscriptions to Bruin. All of these will be brought into homes and will in some way connect citizens of this community to the school. The appeal to students and the community to patronize the adver- tisers in Bruin is on of the finest examples of school loyalty. Then, too, in reading the advertisements and using them to advantage everyone knows that he can be sure of a fair deal with all advertisers in Bruin. I28 Your City...!
