It opened in January 1944 with Flat River and Bonne Terre schools co-operating. Classes were in session in the afternoon for high school senior students, and the evenings were given over to Adult Education in Machine Shop and Welding. The evrning classes continued during the summer. In Sep- tember 1944, the entire Lead Belt organized to form an area school under the 'lracle and Industrial Program. The co-operating schools are Bonne Terre, Flat River, Leadwood, Elvins, Desloge, and Frank Clay. Farmington High School will participate beginning September 1945. The school is housed in the hangar type building located on Highway 61 at Bonne Terre, Missouri, and is equipped for teaching Machine Shop, Sheet Metal and Welding. ' MR. GEORGE BURCH . . International Couise B. S. Southeast Missouri Teachers College v Cape Girardeau, Missouri MRS. MARY MAYBERRY . Secret rv B. S. Kansas State Teach rs College This year the day Trade and Industrial Program is operated both morning and afternoon for high school junior and senior students. Each student is in class three hours and receives two high school units of credit. The juniors this year will be able to take advanced work next year which will make possible four units of credit toward graduation. A school bus is operated, making three trips a day. In the morning the bus picks up students from Elvins, Flat River, Lsadwood and Desloge. These students are returned at noon and other students are picked up at Elvins, Flat River, Esther and Desloge. The bus also transports the night class students from the various towns. The school has at present an enrollment cf thirty-two high school stu- dents in the morning classes and thirty-one high school students in the afternoon classes. The War Production Training Program is still operated in the evening with a present enrcllment of twenty-five in Machine Shop and twelve adults in Welding.

CHCDRUS The Bcnne Terre High School Chorus, consisting of 130 voices, sang at numerous impor- tant programs in the school year 1944-1945. This year's Chorus was considered to be one of the largest and best in B. T. H. S. history. In addition to the assemblies given during the year in which the Chorus participated, the group also sang at the beautiful Christmas program spcnsored by the Music and English De- partments of the High School. Vividly and impressively the story, Why The Chimes Rang was dramatized to complete this yuletide production. The annual County Music Festival was held in Bonne Terre this year. Ave Maria and t'Teach Me were the selections presented by our Chorus. Ten towns in this district were invited to send representatives to County Chorus. Twenty local boys and girls received the honor of singing in this group of 200 voices. The last two choir performances of the season were at Baccalaureate and Graduation. 1 Fxrst row left to rrght J Fraser P Mabery L Weber B Pearce M McDan1el D Meyer S Meyer D Mabery R Spam Mr Branlnd L Howlett Second row left to right J Jenkerson R Hyatt J Kleeman B Bethel E Hartzell F Wolf B Vandlver W Nelms Dlrector Charles Warner Thlrd row left to rlght J Jenkms H Hugh s P Perret V Faenger BAND After fourte n years of falthful serv1ce dlrector to enter the busmess fleld Dfurmg recen ed hxgh ratlngs ln County dlstrlct and Mr Charles E Warner of Jefferson Band for the past fourteen years came to flll marches Whlkh have been pubhshed, and som Last summer the b nd partlclpated IH can Leg1on and the Churches Durlng the school year the band added The Bonne Terre and Leadwood bands com at Desloge and the Sub Regxonal Tournament, band played were the openlngs cf the 6th War Pop Hyatt reslgned h1s posltxon as our hlS tune here he develop d many bands that state muslc f6St1V31S Clty who has dlrect d the Mus1c1 ns UDIOU the vacancy He has composed several of these are new played by the band the D Day Serx 1CGS sponsored by the Amerl pep and zlp to the heme basketball games 1ned to cnlnen the Invltatlonal Tournament at Leadwood Other occaslons at wh1ch the Lo n Dr1ve the Dlamond Dr1l1 Assembly Program Junlor Play and the County Band Concert held at Elvms The Semors of 1945 are leavmg a gap m the band w1 1ch w1ll be dlffxcult to fill It Will bf?

PEP CLUB Our Basketball team, like any other, needed someone to urge them on to higher success. With vim, vigor, and vitality the Pep Club of 1944-45 fulfilled this desire by turning out to the games ready and willing to lend their voices to the team. At the oeginning of the basketball seascn we elected Lencra Head as Pres- ident, Charlotte Govro, Vice President, and Mary Lou Braning, Secretary and Treasurer. Elizabeth Bisch, Dwight Meyer, and Jean Earemore were chosen as our cheer leaders. After Jean's departure to St. Louis, Charlotte Govro was voted to succeed her. 'lhe uniform of the Pep Squad was a red sweater, plaid skirt and white blouse. The pep leaders who were dressed in white with small red jcckey caps, added color to their appearance by the large red megaphones which increased the volume of the snappy yells heard at the games. Several original songs and yells were credited to this year's club. A new version of Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition was adopted for a rous- ing song to cheer our ferocious Bulldogs to victory. The boys showed their ap- preciation by giving us one of the most exciting basketball seasons in many years.

BASKETBALL The starting whistle of the referee brought Elvins and the Bonne Terre Junior High Quintets to attention for the flfst game of the 1944-45 basketball season. E1- vins got away to a good start and WON handily from our boys. The Bull Pups, coached by Mr. Wood, were greatly handicapped this year by ln' experience. No lettermen returned from the preceding year and many of the DOYS were playing their first basketball. They played a seven-game schedule' and WGS only one game. The boys Samed muc- valuable experience and as several lettcll: men return for next year's squad, wn are looking forward to a successful seaS0 for the Bull Pups.

GHQL SI-IV The Junior Class of 1945 presented Girl Shy as their annual play. The comedy in three acts was directed by Miss Buela McQuary, and sponsored by Sue V. Betson and Albert Kleeman. Several musical numbers were rendered by the Bonne Terre High School Band between acts. The Stage was set attractively as a bachelor apartment, in a college town. Tom Arsdale, who was girl shy, portrayed by Edward Mayo, and Okie Stimson, who kept the audience rocking with laughter, played by Gussie Thomure, were the two college boys who inhabited the apartment. Graduation time was on hand, but the boys were not happy. Tcm's father, An- thony Arsdale, enacted by Edmond Bangert, was determined that Tom become engaged, during graduation, to Silvia Webster, the girl from home, played by Elizabeth Bisch. Okie came through with an ideai Get Tom engaged to another girl befcre Mr. Arsdale and Silvia arrive. The problem was Who? No, not Peaches Carter, Okie's present headache, enacted by Marion Huff, for fear she would spill the beans. Babs Stanford, a wealthy girl, characterized by Barbara Blackwell, wanted des- perately to meet 'Iom and found her opportunity by giving Birdie Laverne, Ruth Chand- ler, a much wanted chance in the movies. When Babs appeared in a smock and maid's cap the boys unanimously decided she was the one and asked her to pose as Tom's fiancee. Anthony Arsdale and Silvia ar- rived, acccmpanied by Tom's Aunt Caroline, represented by Patricia Nelson, only to lind Tom already engaged. Anthony was baffled and turned to Caroline but She was far too interested in Dean Marlow, cunningly played by Bob Arenz, to be bothered. Chuck Mayo, the real Birdie's former fiancee, played by Bob Politte, appeared and demanded his Boidy. Anthony and Chuck schemed to kidnap Babs, whom they both believed to be Birdie. Babs and Silvia exchanged masquerade costumes and Silvia was taken by mistake. Tom in the'meantime fell for Babs and found out who she was, the feeling being mutual they made the engagement real. Silvia, not one to stand by, turned her atten- tions to Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd, the class poet, enacted by George Johnsen. Through- out the play comic lines were contributed by Betty Ringer in her interpretation of Asma, the wash lady. The final curtain dropped, aided by Bob Bieser's muscles, with Nobody girl shy here. Bucket Counts and Marjorie Dinwiddie contributed their services as electrician and prompter, respectively. . Y,vf. a...A- SENIQR PLAY On Friday night, April 20, Going on Seventeen, presented by the Senior class and directed by Miss Sue V. Betson, was heartily accepted by its audience. The characters were very true to life because it was the story of teen age boys and girls. Harold Hughes was superb in the role of Buddie Carhart, who was going on seventeen. Harold played his part so naturally that it hardly seemed as if he were acting. The sloven maid-of-all-work was easily and hilariously characterized by Wilma Selzer. Mary Linn Thompson in the character of Flor- ence bro.ught out all the qualities of an older sister. Mr. and Mrs. Carhart, the parents of the youthful family, were played by Patty Mabery and Bill Jakobe. Bill played the part of Mr. Carhart in a dignified and understanding manner. Patty as Mrs. Carhart was a typical sympathetic mother of the average American family. Ronald Holden as Paul and Johnny Jenkins as Shrimpie gave us a por- trayal of regular growing boys. Paul, who started' out as a woman hater, cer- tainly changed his mind when Lillums, Lenora Head, appeared on the scene, for he even gave her a bunch of flowers. Shrimpie was continually searching for food. VVhat an appetite!! Lillums not only captured the heart of Paul, but also the heart of Buddie with her flirtatious behavior. Joan, Lillum's older and very sophisticated sister, was played by Pat Forshee. John W'asson as Craig Vin- cent, the Romeo detective, contributed greatly in this duo-personality to the development of the plot. Of course, no story would be complete without its villain and Jerry Gidley ably portrayed that character, Tom Williams, the bank clerk, who tried to get away with S1,400. Helen, Doris, and Agnes, the three critical friends of Florence, were enacted by Mary Lou Braning, Marilyn Willa, and Lois Malone. This three-act play was truly a comedy in every sense of the word for the audience was kept laughing at the humorous incidents which took place. Each person handled his part admirably, which all added up to a delightful perform- ance. 'Ihe Seniors can well be proud of themselves for presenting a play that was so warmly accepted by all. Miss Sue V. Betson is also to be commended QD hor fine job of directing.
