le shall not forget the Sunrise Breakfast with the Seniors which we enjoyed at 5:00 A. I. but several Juniors were left behind and they have always regretted it Another enjoyable affair was the trip to Briar Patch with the Seniors. The High Light in any Jun1or's life is the Junior- Senior banquet and how beautiful and chivalrous we all looked and felt on that night of nights when we met in the basement of the Christian Church which we had geiorated to resemble a ship. Our President was Lillian a mer. Our Senior year has been a happy one as all Senior years are. Some of our members have made outstanding records as basket ball players, being named on All Star Teams. Some others have been outstanding in Debating, Track, Dramatlcs, etc. and we have been very happy under the leadership of our Sponsor lr. Elmore. An enjoyable social event of the Senior year was the Senior party and we will always remember our picnics, and the Baccalaureate sermon on May 10th. One new member came into the class this year J. C. Humphrey who moved here from Elsberry. Now that our school life in Bowling Green is closing we shall always consider it a privilege to have had B. G. H. S. as our Alma Mater and as the years go by and you'll always find us ready and loyal and boosting for our Dear Old High. By-Claud ine Flood e G ir

We enjoyed the Spelling Matches and Arithmetic contests which were frequently held in this grade. For our eighth grade we turned our steps to the High School a step we had been eagerly looking forward to for many years but we were doomed to lose that feeling of superiority which we had developed in the seventh grade for we were now just the nbabiesu of the Junior High. Miss Jessie Sanderson was our Sponsor and she worked with us faithfully preparing us for our eighth grade graduation. Can we ever forget the night of the Graduation when we sat upon the stage in our first long dresses and grown up suits? Never as High School graduates can we feel as important or be so dressed up as we were as eighth grade graduates. It was in the eighth grade that our boys and girls basket ball stars made their debut and came out for basket ball practice. Those eighth graders who were out for basket ball were: Claudine Flood, Lillian Palmer, Willeyne Robertson, Edna Gamm, Anna Mae Bonnell, Lora Mae Murphy, J. D. Haley, Henry Eames, Jr., Jack Freeman, Joe Sanderson, and J. O. Mackey. Two new members, Bessie Crane and Lucile Sandlfer were added to our group at this time. In September 1932, we sailed forth as Freshmen and we were as green as the greenest. Miss Cobb was our Sponsor. Quite a number of new faces were seen in our group this year namely: Leroy Feather, Homer Givens, Clark Gillum, Russell Hobbs, Nell Marie Latimer, Ethyl May, Don Hulse, Helen Moore, Lucile Smith, May Virginia Slater, and John Price Wilson. One of the outstanding events in our Freshmen year was the picnic we went on to Buffalo. The good eats we had and the good swim will long be remembered. Our Class President this year was Henry Eames, Jr. Miss Marion Schrock was our Sophomore Sponsor and we enjoyed a large number of hikes and picnics. One enjoyable time was the picnic at Louisiana. Our Class President this year was Merle Henderson. In our Junior year Patty Lee. Vera OFF. Laura R111-h West, and Helen Walker Harrelson Joined our class. Our Sponsor was Mr. Wilson. o

CLASS'POEH As we go along the highway Of fading, Senior year ' That has all the Joy and gladness Sadness too, that's near, le open our book of golden deeds And count them one by ne, To see if we have left behind One deed of love undone. From each heart we feel a warmth Fbr the glory we've attained: And we bid you all to follow To that victory unstained. I To our school we owe a tribute, To our teachers all so dearg And to every lower classman We leave a hearty cheer. 'Deeds, not Words,n our motto Will be the motto of each life, We will ever strive to keep it And be winner in the strife. But forever, in our memory We'll recall these joyous hours, With loving friends and teachers And all the pleasure that was our Luclle Smith 5 Bessie Crane, '36 lotto 'Facta non verbau Colors: Green 2 thite Flower: White Rose l'
