The homerooms, where cooperation between the students brings about final success of the act ! The homeroom gives the student a feeling of friendliness, both with teacher and fellow- student, that can not be gotten from the classroom. Many activities center around the homeroom as a group. Throughout the war, bonds and stamps were sold in each homeroom. The eighteen homerooms, each trying for first place on the list of sales posted every week, made a friendly rivalry among them. In addition, it brought the members of the homeroom closer, as they cooperated to put their room at the top. Various homerooms had parties to celebrate special holidays. These helped the students to become better acquainted with their fellow-students besides providing a welcome change from the humdrum school life. This year the intramural basketball and volleyball games are being continued. Here again, the members of each homeroom are united both as they play and as they come to cheer their team to victory. Not only are the students benefitted by the spirit of cooperation and unity which they receive, but they are instructed in the principles of citizenship, and etiquette in the homeroom guidance periods. These periods have done much in the way of aiding the individual in finding and keeping his place in life. Just as a circus is not complete without its clowns, so the homeroom is not complete without its practical jokers. Such tricks are better carried on in the home- room, for in this way it does not interfere with classes and studies. The jokes and tricks pulled by such students relieve for a time the stress of school life, both for the student and the overworked teacher. The homerooms of B.H.S. have done an excellent job. They have contributed generously to war bond drives, Junior Red Cross, March of Dimes, clothing drives, and many other patriotic and local organizations. They also filled Junior Red Cross Christmas boxes for European children. We salute you, the homerooms of B.H.S. E101
