Bolton's faculty, representing eight states and thir- teen colleges, now numbers forty-four teachers. Well trained for their jobs, more than fifty per cent of the teachers hold masters degrees. But not wishing to rest on their past accomplishments, they keep up to the minute by in-service training in summer schools, exten- sion courses, lectures and travel. The school program is divided among several depart- ments—each headed by one of our grand oldtimers. The English department, consisting of nine teachers, is headed by Mrs. Annie Peters, who has been a teacher in the city school system twenty-eight years and a member of Bolton's faculty thirteen years. The Mathematics faculty, with Mrs. L. T. Longmire, a veteran of twenty- three years service at Bolton, as head, ranks second with eight members. With ten years of service at Bolton to his credit, Mr. W. D. McKay heads a group of seven teachers in the social science department. In the science group Mr. Fletcher Rodgers, another of Bolton's ''old timers, is assisted by six teachers. Then last, but by no means least, are the smaller departments: The foreign language, the commercial, the home economics, the library, the art, the occupations, and the shop. Recently in our school program, there was reor- ganized a department of music, consisting of concert band, orchestra, and choral music, under the direction of Mr. Robert C. Gilmore. The physical education program requires two teachers, Miss Pearl Bordelon, who directs the girls' classes, and Mr. Bernard Walker, who supervises the boys' program. Mr. Walker, head coach of athletics, is assisted by a staff of coaches, who are full-time class- room teachers. S. M. BRAME Principal IN TRIBUTE TO OUR PRINCIPAL The genial face of Our Principal, whose likeness is here pictured, needs no introduction, either to the present student-body, or to the thousands who have graduated from his guidance in the more than quarter of a century he has labored among us. Unlike the traditional Father Time, we see no flowing beard nor silver locks, but a man who remains perennially youthful. The challenges of his thirty-four years of continuous service have been nobly met by a man whose alertness, keenness, and enthusiasm the years have not dimmed. Principal S. M. Brame needs no formidable scythe. His affable disposition, his keen interest in youth, and his high spirit of fair play are his tools. Just in making decisions, and prompt in acting upon them he strikes straight for the truth and seldom misses aim. In his unusual length of tenure as principal of Bolton High School he has opened up new vistas and distant horizons to thousands of boys and girls, and he represents to them a very important and happy period of time in their lives, upon which they can look back with pleasure and deep satisfaction. They, and this entire community know him as a scholar, a leader, and a friend. Mrs. Flora Lievens, Secretary; J. D. Smith, Assistant Principal; Miss Mary Thornton, Dean of Girls.

SHOP, ART, OCCUPATIONS TO THE FACULTY The paths of peace and happiness are open to those who have developed themselves mentally, morally, and physically. In the halls of learning, dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and character building, the bene- factors of wisdom—the champions of education—the teachers—are found, without whom in all too short a time education would be relegated to the dismal position which it held during the dark ages. Society owes to these men and women an eternal debt of gratitude. They daily give much and ask in return only to be allowed to share in a very small way the accomplishments of their students. Often a youth at the moment when success is reach- ing out to him forgets that much of the credit of his accomplishments is due the teachers who guided him through the labyrinth of formulas and truths which now belong to him. Even though this credit be withheld, the master teacher reacts with a knowing smile and cheers the louder for youth's success. 19 FACULTY FOCUSES Miss Hawthorn prac ticing the scales.

TolaMaj Time vastly affects the lives of everyone, even the students of Bolton High. Yes, it seems as if Father Time casts his influence over us all. School takes in at a certain time; and then there are those forty minutes one can serve after school if he couldn't keep step with the hands of the clocks and get to classes promptly. It's the “Kept In Room for “ten o'clock scholars. Time seems so all-imoortant in this modern world of ours, and Boltonites make the best “clock watchers. The Freshmen come into their classes, new at first, and seem very attentive. Soon, however, classes are no longer a novelty and they can be seen peeping around at the clocks, which, as far as the students are concerned, are placed inconveniently at the back of the classrooms. The Sophomores are those who emerge successfully from the Freshman class, shorn of timidity and shyness. Of course they have become much more adept at “clock watching. Even while “teacher is looking they delib- erately count the minutes before time for the bell. Everyone counts minutes! Teachers did it once and we suspect (though we'd never say it) they even do it now. The Juniors are the ones who have passed an envious milestone. Full fledged Boltonites, they know what it is all about. Yes, “congrats to our Juniors. They are grand “clock watchers, even between classes. When the hand of the clock jumps the last minute, who starts out knowing full well the bell will ring before he can be called back? Could it be a Senior? Maybe, but there must be many a Senior, who while reminiscing, wishes he might turn back the clock; make those minutes jump backward. But time marches on. 22 tm o mana noarS ■ f man- y aa 'j maj . a r my vj n aj - 9 can rmfl a e. —Shakespeare. 2,3 When the hands of a school clock reach the Senior year, a student knows that his high school days are over, that fun and carefreeness have ended, that life is ready to receive him. The success of the Senior class in doing its part for the school has been equally divided. There are those pupils who have brought honor to the school in the winning of various literary contests. Others have worked hard for four years and made honor roll records in their studies. Some have contributed their energy and time toward the making of football, basketball, track, and other athletic teams, of which we can justly be proud. But there are still those who have quietly cooperated with the leaders of their class and who have been satisfied with sitting back and enjoying the accom- plishments and worrying over the failures. His high school days are among the fondest memo- ries of any Senior. To some the memory of being the most frequent visitor to the Kept In Room will always remain. To others, nervous moments at central and state rallies, cloud the memory. To the Debating team and Speech Pupils, the fun enjoyed on state trips will always be remembered. To the whole Senior class, Carnival, Mock Trial, Christmas holidays, and football—in and out of town games—will be happy spots of the past year. A few dark spots will blot the past: The times we lost those football games, the first day of every school year, the day exams were finished and report cards issued. So ends the Senior's high school days. Whether he has been a success or has tasted the cup of failure, is not the most important issue. If he has played the game fair and square, there is much in store. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. —Longfellow.

And we asked them not to look at the camera. 10. Do not disturb. A happy medium! Doesn't that sound pleasing? That is the gift Father Time has bestowed upon the Junior Class. They are no longer lowly Sophomores; Upperclassmen! It seems they have one advantage over even the Seniors. They can look backward on two years of work and play and forward to another glorious year at Bolton. Just past the half-way mark (as Father Time would say), this class has stepped out in front. These Juniors really know how to get around and they have, because you see them everywhere. The Bruin and Cumtux would certainly be handicapped if the Juniors on their staffs were suddenly subtracted. They lengthen the honor roll and well represent Bolton at State and Central rallies. But getting another view, whom do we see? Ah, some handsome boys and pretty girls. Yes, some of them are our front walk Romeos (and Juliets), and some are those who prefer the halls; those that Chief LowDown, Cumtux's badman reporter, has found out. They have successfully and gayly trod every walk of school life. In scholastics, in athletics, and social activities, the Juniors have penetrated every field. For this reason they have come out of the as you like it class and are known as the lively class of Bolton. Proudly and unhesitatingly we present to you, the lively, all 'round class of Bolton High—the Junior Class.

Yes, it's those Sophomores! It may seem ages since they entered Bolton with lipstick and shoe polish on their faces, but it was only a year ago. Maybe all this has been pushed farther away in their memories because of the many things that have happened and the many students who have cap- tured outstanding places for themselves. When these girls and boys were new in Bolton we wondered which ones would be dubbed the best. A year of time has brought out those who have what it takes to get ahead, and now their class members are known in all walks of school life—on the campus, on the football field, down at state rally, in clubs, and various other school activities. If you peep into the Debating Room you can see diligent Sophomores making brilliant speeches. Time has certainly made good speakers of some of them. And looking at the honor roll, we find over twenty make it, not once, but every time, a few making straight A's. The band and honorary clubs, such as the Boosters or P. W. C., have taken their share from the grand personalities of this class. The Bruin and Cumtux have benefited from their intelligence and wit, and in a like manner the Press Club. Proudly we present to you the Sophomore Class of Bolton High, an integral and indispensable part of our school. % m o 'i 3 OFFICERS OF FALL TERM President—Carol Aymond Vice-President—Jimmy Goldstein Secretary—Doris Ann Luckett OFFICERS OF SPRING TERM President—Mary Mina Whitener Vice-President—George Allen Secretary—Robert Culpepper 57 CLASS OF '43 Claire Abney Cynthia Alexander Frances Alexander George Allen Carol Aymond Bert Batts Emile Baumhauer Vernon Beall Julius Bordelon Jane Bordelon Hugh Bringhurst Beverly Brister Billie Brister Georgia Brister Betty Jean Broussard La Verne Broussard Nina Louise Bryan Charles Buchanan Doris Anne Cannon Margaret Cannon John Carter Ellen Joyce Channell Anthony Chicola Wilson Choppin Luther Cole Estelle Cooley Henry Cooper Blythe Cragon Betty Crooks Robert Culpepper Betty Jane Denning Faye DeWitt Gail Dillard Mary Jane Douza Monte Ducote Peggy Dulaney Marvin Ettinger Margaret Escott Ruth Evans Wiltz Evans CLASS OF '43 Stanley Finstead Betty Foley Jane Ann Foote Edwin French Mary Garrett Obera Garrett Billy Jo George Bonny Girlinghouse J.

We have safely endured one year of high school life. Still everything is new to us, but we feel that in the short time we have been here, some of our number have proved themselves leaders. We point with pride to our two cheerleaders, who are shining examples of the pep we Freshmen possess; our honor roll students, some of whom have come through with straight A's; our rising athletes—we happen to have a member of the varsity; our debaters, among whom there appears some promising material; our seven Boosters, who help stir up school spirit and enthusiasm for good 'ole Bolton; and others, who have made themselves useful in the various school activities. One very interesting accomplishment of the Fresh- men was the raising of funds for a new flag for our school. This activity was done through the Newcomers' Club and proved a great success. We've gone one-fourth of the way around the school clock and by our successes already accomplished, we know that we will be one of the best classes Bolton has ever had.

Time marches on—and now comes in review the boys and girls who have made 1941 a memorable year. They are the outstanding Seniors whose beauty, scholarship, personality and athletic zeal have set them apart. The underclassmen, too, have a place among the personalities, each being selected by popular vote of his class. The most brilliant social function of Bolton's 1941 school year was the Carnival. In a setting brilliant in its simplicity and resplendent in the display of the national colors. Queen Delia Hooe O'Shee and King Paul Jordan ruled over the gay and colorful festivities of the 1941 Carnival depicting the march of time in the life of America. As the first notes of the heralds rang out to make way for the coming of royalty, Jimmie Goldstein, master of ceremonies, announced the approach of the royal party. The flashing steel of the Canadian Mounties mingled with the silver and white of the heralds, over which floated the flags of the two countries, pointed the way to the royal throne. Then lords and ladies of the court entered with their junior attendants: Lady Evelyn Hope Ryder and Lord Eugene Nettles, Lady Minnie Lou Harding and Lord Richard Taylor, Lady Marion Dear and Lord Albert Zimmerman, and Princess Jane Bordelon and Prince Harold Lee. In an atmosphere filled with the exoectancy of viewing royalty itself entered Queen Delia Hooe O'Shee and King Paul Jordan, preceded by their junior attend- ants. The royal pair, seated upon the throne and sur- rounded by the lords and ladies of the court, ruled over an evening of dancing and revelry in which were por- trayed the manners, customs and dress of yesterday and today. —Gray. Let us present to you Bolton's 1941 favorite beauties to adorn your yearbook of memories. In everyone's life, there is one outstanding memory, one unforgetable happening, one shining hour! One of the most memorable hours of 1941 was the election, by popular vote of the student body, the campus beauty and five favorites. Fair and lovely above them all is our queen, Frances. Her so friendly smile and meaningful brown eyes have made her a memory to the class of '41. With a feeling of gladness we pay homage to the ''Queen of the Hour. Next comes Tiny—gay, little tiny whirlwind— who is closely followed by the tiniest Luckett — Dot — adorable, brown-eyed, princess to the queen. Then comes Dee—blond and blue eyed. The queen of the jitterbugs is gay, vivacious Dee. Jane is next, demure, dainty and dignified. Julia, the brown-eyed coquette, is sure to hold a coveted place in any group of this kind. Here, too, is Velda Mae, blue-eyed Glamour Girl, who certainly has a way with folks. May time be kind to Bolton's beauties! !70 (By choice of the student body) TINY WILBUR DELIA HOOE O'SHEE VELDA MAE LEWIS FRANCES LUCKETT Most Popular Senior Girl GIRDNER HENDRIX Best All-Around Senior Boy Best Dressed Senior Boy JOE DROUET Most Popular Senior Boy Best Boy Athlete MARY ELIZABETH BEAGLE Senior Girl Most Likely to Succeed MINNIE LOU HARDING Best All-Around Senior Girl EUGENE NETTLES Senior Boy Most Likely to Succeed VERNA MAE HENDRIX Best All-Around Junior DORIS ANN LUCKETT Best All-Around Sophomore SISTER JORDAN Best All-Around Freshman DELIA HOOE O'SHEE Queen 'XO'tHKf '£■ � W1 'ffff Kf PAUL JORDAN King Cf 7 mm I am Time. In the jumble of memories held dear by the students and faculty I provide those certain moments unknown to the rest of the world. Besides the regular curricula which includes classes, gym, club activities and K. I. R., this year I brought the school many new personalities from all sections of the country. They have entered into all the activities that are provided and many have become leaders. But as usual, I have brought another element of school life—the social whirl. In this part I include the pep meetings, football games, dances, Carnival, and so on in an unending list. Each of these activities has brought some memory to every student—some of which are gay and some of which are sad. But each one enters into the whole of school life. Even with these I could not consider my record complete without the usual campus romances, election of favorites and call-outs. I pass the results of campus life at all lyceum programs, on the football trips, and under the shade (?) trees at noon. Sometimes they develop into affairs so serious it requires a Mock Trial to straighten everything out. Then in the course of the school year I provide clubs of all sorts which carry on a program of character build- ing. These are reenforced by activities which stress oratorical and dramatic ability, physical development, and business knowledge. So at the end of four years I am able to say well done thus far but it is now only commencement time —time to take over the responsibility of living. To preserve these school memories for the students and to give a glimpse of school life to the outsider I provide these snapshots which begin with Freshman Day and end with that final achievement—graduation.

So forlorn. u rftn Athletics in Bolton High School as in most of the other schools of the state play an important role in school activities. The outstanding sports of Bolton High School this year have been football, basketball, and track. Football, under the supervision of our new coach, Benard S. Walker, held high interest in the pupils' activi- ties during the fall of the year and as it ended and winter came basketball soon took the spotlight. The season opened with a string of lettermen reporting for duty and as time went on Coach Leo Marler moulded into shape a fine team. The team showed fine playing, winning one first and two second places in three rallies and win- ning a total of 23 out of 30 games. The players look with high hopes and expectancy to the Central Rally and possibly the State. Immediately after the basketball season ended track season began with a bang. Coach Jack Stafford had not waited for the regular season to start but had a picked group of boys already working out before season, getting in condition for the first meet. Though football, basketball, and track constitute the major sports in Bolton, they are by no means the only sports. The tennis team, the girls' softball and track teams have all shown fine work. The tennis team this year had several lettermen returning and expected to advance far in any meet they might enter. Enthusiasm in sports this year has been high. Upon the forming of the Bolton Athletic Association interest immediately rose and one of the largest organizations in Bolton came into existence. With over 200 members from the student body crowds thronged to the games, and school spirit was prevalent everywhere through the city as well as the school. 88 FOOTBALL The season in sports for the year 1940-'41 opened with an enthusiastic welcome for the first football game. As this was the first year under the new coach, Bernard Walker, the record was a fine one considering the new plays and formations which the players had to learn and put into practice. The Bears opened their season playing Winnfield. They won this game with a 13 to 0 victory. Encouraged, the team then took the road to Shreveport. This game with Fair Park was of interest to all as Bolton was the victor last year, and after fighting a tough battle the Bears were triumphant once more with a score of 12-6. For the second out-of-town game, the Bears tackled Lake Charles. The powerful Lake Charles team which was to be a runner-up for state championship, downed the Bears with a 21 to 0 victory. School spirit and support, how- ever, kept the team's sportsmanlike attitude alive and the boys undaunted, returned home to compete with Catholic Hi, only to be downed by 21-6. In the next out-of-town game the score was a tie, 6-6, with Minden. The team returned home to be defeated by Jennings, 10-0, as well as by Byrd, 19-6. Next the Bears played Lafayette and were triumph- ant, the score being 25-6. The last out-of-town game with Istrouma showed Bolton the loser with a score of 18-7. On Thanksgiving the Bears ended the season by defeating Ouachita 7-6. Next year Bolton looks hopefully to the newcomers, as well as the old regulars, to repay the teams who beat the Bears this season. A number of promising prospects are limbering up those stiff muscles during the spring practice in order to be in shape when the whistle blows announcing the first game of next year's season. As long as the football players continue to uphold the honor and sportsmanship attached to the game, the future outlook for football is encouraging. 90 COACH BERNARD WALKER COACH DUB MATTIS BEARS' SCORES FOR YEAR Bolton 13 — Winnfield 0 Bolton 12 — Fair Park 6 Bolton 0 — Lake Charles 21 Bolton 6 — Catholic Hi 21 Bolton 6 — Minden 6 Bolton 0 — Jennings 10 Bolton 6 — Byrd 19 Bolton 25 — Lafayette 6 Bolton 7 — Istrouma 18 Bolton 7 — Ouachita 6 CHEERLEADERS REGINALD CORLEY, TINY WILBUR, BUSTER BRUMLOW, SISTER JORDAN, JACK WATSON, MARIETTA HINTON OFF SIDE HOLDING INTERFERENCE ROUGHING CLIPPING FOOTBALL STARS LLOYD BELL Captain JOE DROUET GIRDNER HENDRIX RUDOLPH LITTLE CHARLES HOGGE JOHN HAY LESLIE CHRUMA W.

Henderson THE CUBS Our Cub heroes of today are the varsity men of to- morrow's football. Through earnest and faithful practice every day, these fresh Boltonites are building up a background that will enable them to master the techniques of the game. They are learning the important principle of the game— cooperation on team work, so that they will know what to do when their big chance comes. Whatever success is due the cubs as cubs or later as varsity men is due in large measure to N. C. Henderson, a persistent and untiring coach of the Athletic staff.

With four returning lettermen the team opened the season by placing second in the annual Tioga tournament. They followed it up copping the Oakdale rally a month later. Be- sides winning second place in the Trout-Good Pine tourna- ment, the team won four places in other tournaments. At the end of the regular season Bolton took second place in the Louisiana Central Rally and Bobby Lowther received honorable mention as an All-State center.

Perhaps more condition is needed in track than in any other sport. Practice sessions begin early and last until school is out for summer vacation. Many miles must be jogged before a sprinter toes the mark. Coach Stafford, who had a fine array of nine lettermen, returning looked forward to a better than average season. Six meets were arranged, one duel and five rallies. Last year Bolton's track team was inexperienced and finished with a mediocre percentage of wins but they tried hard and im- proved rapidly toward the season's close.

The girls' team this year gives Doris Carlino, Tiny Wilbur, Marietta Hinton, Peggy Flewellen, Alice Clark and Nancy McKenzie the spotlight. Others are still working to make the team. The boys' team consists of Roy James, Wilbur Joffrion, Willie John Evans, Randolph Broussard and Joe McCurdy. Last year Bolton's teams had an undefeated season pactici- pating in both Central and State Rallies. This year Coach Cummins reports that the freshmen are showing up unusually well.

GIRLS' TRACK AND FIELD Two years ago this department of athletics was organized at Bolton and successfully carried over. For the past two years Bolton has been first in Central Louisiana Rally and looked forward to being first again this year. Girls' track and field includes shotput, basketball throw, horseshoe pitching, baseball throw, and the 220-yard relay. Juanita Bass, outstanding girl athlete, has won first place for two years in shotput as well as baseball throw and now holds the baseball throw record at 230 feet 7 inches. Horse- shoe pitching at Bolton gives Vertis Wiley and Marjorie Walker a chance to show their skill. Marietta Hinton holds first place in basketball throw and has done so for two years. The last division, 220-yard relay, has fallen down. It has placed second and third in rally. However, if Sarah Bowman, Alice Peterman, Doris Kelley, and Mary Adeline Kerr hold the other girls' field work as an example, they will soon be first and Bolton will continue to lead the schools of Central Louisiana in Girls' Track and Field Sports.

FRONT ROW: Sarah Bowman, Genevieve Flewellen, Margaret Cannon, Christine Roberson. 99 GIRLS' SOFTBALL Softball has become one of Bolton's favorite sports in girls' athletics. Ending up an exceptionally good record the team placed second in the Glen- mora tournament in '39. However, with the loss of a number of the star players by graduation the team held up throughout the year but dropped to third place in the tournament the next year. In spite of this they worked harder and by their efforts and eagerness to get ahead the girls placed first in the Central Louisiana Rally. All the girls have done outstanding work this year. Juanita Bass, as usual, boosted the team with her batting strength and second base playing. With the entire team's cooperation and fine sportsmanship its progress has brought favorable comment although softball is a compartively new sport in Bolton.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC CLUB In the last year the field of girls' sports at Bolton has been enlarged and interest in the new games has run high. To tennis, basketball, and track have been added dancing, individual and group sports, badminton, shuffle board, and ping pong in which every girl participates. Along with the rules the girls learn the characteristics that constitute a real player: fairness, truthfulness, and cleanliness. The Health Course, designed principally for those who do not take active part in girls' sports, completes the work of the girls' athletic depart- ment. This club is sponsored by the energetic and versatile Miss Pearl Bordelon.

A. A. For the first time in the history of Bolton High School the Bolton Athletic Association, better known as the B. A. A., was organized. To further school spirit toward the different sports, and encourage good sports- manship were two of the reasons behind its foundation. Meetings of the entire group were held and officers and cheerleaders were elected. Those elected were given the honor of leading all pep parades. The president of the association served as host to each visiting team. Under Miss Pearl Bordelon the girls' physical edu- cation classes organized a pep squad with over three hundred members. Dressed in royal blue skirts with white blouses these girls added much color to the parades in the afternoon and under the floodlights. BOBBY LOWTHER DOUGLAS FOWLER ALICE CLARK Vice-President President Secretory Between the second and third periods every Wed- nesday, the students of Bolton forget school for a time and hold their club meetings. These clubs have a three- fold purpose. First, they train the student in the laws of parlia- mentary procedure. They help to give some idea of the democratic way to conduct business at any sort of meeting. Second, most of these clubs are “hobby clubs. They encourage hobbies of all sorts and train the students to make wise use of their leisure time. These organiza- tions improve one along literary, vocational, and athletic lines at the same time. Every pupil has the opportunity to join one or more clubs where he receives training in the development of leadership among his fellow students. But “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, 'till activity period on Wednesday releases the pent up feelings of the pupils and leaves each one free to partic- ipate in the conduct of the school program from the pupil point of view. The clubs and organizations have a very large part of their activities devoted to serious busi- ness, but all of them also have plenty of time for fun. This is, perhaps, the most enjoyable part of school life. These organizations tend to make a loyal student body and to improve school spirit in no small way. For a number of years it has been the policy of this school to encourage these worth while activities and now Bolton sponsors more than thirty of these organizations. 104 s e ijf( rr a tu nctwH wrr r tr we See J er . —Shakespeare. ) BRUIN EDITORS: MINNIE LOU HARDING Associate MARION DEAR Assistant DELIA HOOE O'SHEE Social JANE WILSON Art JULIA PETERMAN Make-Up JANE RICHARDSON Sports Left MARY ELIZABETH BEAGLE Business Manager R:ght NINA KELONE Editor in Chief ANNELL BRIDGES Kodak DOROTHY RUTH WARE Book Sales EDITH MILLER ALICE JOHNSTON Advertising Pictures EDITORIAL BACK ROW: Jackie Knauer, Beverly Treadwell, Emma Louise Walker, Mary Ruth Sleight, Emily Ann Rogers, Carolyn Barron, Betty Ezell, Douglas Fowler, Bob Smith, Walter Ball, Dick Taylor, Yvonne McSwain, Jane Taylor, Mary Garrett, Ann Howell, Anna Belle Revisore.

BRUIN To give to the students of Bolton High School a book portraying their school life in a manner both entertaining and educational is foremost in the minds of all staff members. In doing this through their best journalistic efforts they strengthen their ability in the art of writing and in turn hope they will be rewarded by the joy of the students in receiving a yearbook filled with high school memories.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY From term six, seven, and eight those students who represent the best in leadership, scholastic, character, and service are chosen for membership in the Beta Tau Sigma, a chapter of the National Honor Society. The local chapter, with the help of Miss Thornton, sponsored the award of scholarship plaques to the term having the highest scholastic average. The local chapter organized a chapter of the N. H. S. at Wisner this year. THE MIXED CHORUS The oldest, most wonderful, and most beautiful of all musical instru- ments is the human voice. When pleasing harmony is produced by the perfect blending of the voices of these boys and girls they are fully repaid for the long hours of practice and hard work. Outstandingly admirable has been this group's conception of the use of the voice. Radio and assembly programs have shown the public the earnestness and faithfulness of these talented students. The chorus is composed of twenty soprano voices, fifteen alto voices, six tenor voices, and ten bass voices. The excellent baritone voice of Bob Carter, who hails from Ogallala, Nebraska, has been an addition to this group which is accompanied by Earl Miller, Bolton's talented pianist. Mr. Robert Gilmore, director of the band, also has the job of teaching these young vocalists how to train their voices so that their talent will not be misused.

Vivian Misner, Edwin French, Mr. Rodgers, Raymond Stout, Laverne Ratcliffe. CANTEEN The most popular hang out of every student in school is the canteen. This is the place where the stomach gets its daily snacks. It is run by several of the students and is always busy from 8:00 until 4:00 o'clock. These patient people have to listen to our gimmie that one—no the other one, What's in that box—no the other one, throughout the day. - Jn u ut tu rS Srn'rry « ) wor t must ave a sto it —Shakespeare. Time marches on and leaves to you, the students of Bolton High School, a memory book in which the Bruin Staff has tried to collect the most important moments of your high school days. Perhaps some bright fleeting moment has been lost but if this is overshadowed by happier intervals and in future years you will be able to turn back the clock with the 1941 Bruin, then our desire has been fulfilled. All members of the Bruin staff wish to express gratitude to the entire student body and to the faculty for their cooperation and assistance in collecting mate- rials for this volume.
